CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cnuse Only Re-
Gently Discovered.

II has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh or from
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from he throat is lined with a sort of
velvet structure called mucous mem
brane. This membrane Is simply a con-
tinuation Of the mucous membrane lining
the throat When disease OF any sort
attacks the mucous membrane of the
throat II is very liable to extend into
the Eustachian tube and up into the ear.
The history Of nearly all cases Of deaf
ness is like this: 4 cold is contracted ard
neglected, other colds are taken, the
throat becomes sore and inflamed, which
is aggravated by particles OF dust and
germs from the air. This condition causes
the disease is spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
II seems a little far-fetched to say that
most cases of deafness are caused from
ca.arrh. but It is certainly true, and
anyone who has had severe catarrhal
cold must have noticed how the hearing
was affected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impairment of
hearing becomes chronic and grows worse
the longer the catarrh is neglected
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
the regular use of an excellent new prep
aration called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
composed of antiseftic remedies which
act not only on tn mucous membranes but
principally and most eTectuaIy on the
blood, eliminating the catarrhal poison
from the system.
People whose hearing is defective may
think 1t a little remarkable that a simple
and harmless tablet would very often re
move all traces of deafness, but when it
is remembered that catarrh causes the
deafness and that the catarrh is easily
cured by the regular use of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets there is no mystery about
it.
II you are subject TO nasal catarrh or
catarrh OF throat, bronchial tubes, or
catarrh of stomach and liver. the safest
and most effective treatment is the new
catarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
sold by all druggists at so cents, for full
sized package. No 21-23

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Tom sharkey's
persistent efforts to induce jim Jeffries

bility and give him a return fight will, in
all likelihood, bear fruit
Sharkey's manager, Barney Reich, said
today that the ex-sailor and himself would

every assurance that Jeffries will take

FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Anthony Claims Damages at Ra3e of
Over $500 Per Hour.

For alleged false Imprisonment, George
H. Anthony is claiming damages at the
rate Of $520S3 per hour.
In January. 1900, and for about fifteen
years previously. he was employed as a
driver by the Adams Express Company.
On January l3, 1900, a package containing
pearls valued at S340 was lost. Anthony
was arrested upon suspicion. He was
taken into custody on January 16, and
kept in confinement until January IS.
After careful examination OF the cir
cumstances under which the jewels were
lost Anthony was released. He then filed
suit against the Express Company to re-
cover damages in the sum of $25, 600. The
case was set for hearing yesterday in Cir
cult Court No. before Chief Justice
Bingham, but was postponed on account
Of the absence of an important witness.
1t is expected that the case will come on
for trial during the latter part OF next
week. The plaintin is represented by
Henry E. Davis and George W. Drew.
After the release Of Anthony by the po-
lice some one else was arrested for the
theft and the jewels were recovered. AT
this time another man, one Charles
but was promptly released, following
further investigation.
These arrests of Anthony and Adams
seem to have resulted from a report made
to the police by James Waters, agent for
the Adams Express Company, stationed
at the Pennsylvania depot. On complaint
Of the disappearance Of the box contain
ing the pearls, Detectives Parham, Harti-
gan, and Boyd took charge Of the two men
then suspected.
II soon developed that no case lay
against either, and their release followed.
Anthony is married, is thirty-one years Of
age, and gave his occupation as that of
laborer.

PRICED MEMENTos MIsLAID.
Lanterns Taken From Maria Teresa
Thought stolen Until Found.


"No larceny Property recovered
Thus the police disposed last night of a
reported theft made yesterday afternoon
by Admiral Weaver, United States Navy.
1t was supposed that two ship lanterns,
highly priced because of their historic as
sociations, had been stolen from the resi-
dence of Lieutenant Decker, 1884 Twenty
ninth Street northwest. Admiral Weaver
owns these lanterns, made of heavy brass.
Once they furnished light on the Spanish
cruiser Maria Teresa, and subsequently,
after the battle of Santiago, they came
into the possession of the American ad-
miral.
Quite a while ago these historic me-
mentos were stored away at the home of
Lieutenant Decker while Admiral Weaver
travelled on the high seas. No one paid
particular attention to them. They were
not employed for lighting purposes, nor
does it seem they were used for ornament.
Yesterday it was thought to restore
them to admiral Weaver at his nome,
1928 y Street northwest. No end of search
failed to locate them at this juncture.
Every place was looked into, but no lam
terms were found.
Then the police were notified of the
supposed robbery Detective Miller inves-
tigated He visited Georgetown. the homes
of Admiral Weaver and Lieutenant Deck
err Slowed away at the latter place. far
down in the basement of the house, were
found two lanterns. They we're of spanish
make, and proved to be those taken from

SOUBRET'TE TICKET.
NEW STOCK EXCHANGE OFFICERS.
sketches of the Young Men, with
incidents of Their Pnst History,
Giving Dates and other Hi
ogrnphicnI Information.

The choice of officers to run the Wash
ingtou Stock Exchange for the coming
year was made yesterday afternoon, and
last night. fully convinced that it had
done a good days work. 1he exchange had
it's annual dinner to congratulate itself
and the new men in charge.
1t is said that the affair at the Raleigh
last night was one long to be remem-
bered, an affair of pomp and circum-
stance, the fatted OK with love aboundtng,
a fitting dinner for such fit lot of inan-
ciers as the Washington Exchange con-
tains. But of this one may know only
through hearsay, as the Stock Exchange
bauquets are held behind closed doors.
AS to the officers elected yesterday,
there is no secret. And there is no rea-
! son for any whatever may be said OF the
dinner. There is every reason for pub
licity, in fact, for from president down
to treasurer, with the single exception
| Of rie secretary, they are an excellent
and exemplary lot Of young men. The
compliment could be paid the secretary
also and with equal force, except that he
is the bear of the exchange and therefore
receives no compliments.
The new roster reads: W. A. Mearns.
President: Charles p Williams, Vice
President; Frank II. PeIouze, Secretary;
Walter Heiston, Treasurer; W. B. Hibbs,
R. a. Johnson, and William J. Flather,
new members of the governing commit
tee.
The Colt Ticket Wins.
The people elected make up what has
been called the colt ticket in the recent
campaigning There were other candidates
in the field, but it was seen some time
ago that they had little chance of win
ming. The younger men are now virtually
in control Of the exchange, and they chose
the best looking and most Virtuous of
their number to represent them. When
the other ticket found it had no chance
of winning it declined TO run and the
election was therefore made unanimous.
Formerly n Cowboy.
President Mearns was formerly a cow
boy. He is, perhaps, trifle Western and
Southwestern il his dress and manner of
speech, given to flowing, boisterous neck
ties and loose fitting, checked suits, and
exhibiting a Texas brand of slang, pic

Despite these drawbacks. if such they be.
he is one Of the best-liked men on the
Exchange.
He knows the business of buying and
selling stocks from the primer to calculus,
being a member of the New York Stock
Exchange Of long standing, and having
served with some of the most important
people in that august body. He has been
secretary of the local Stock Exchange for
two or three years.
