A CASE OF NERVES.

formality of dressing. There were
others like me. There are some
invitations to get out that do moi
permit Of ceremony.
The flames were eating their way
rapidly through the lower part OF
the house and the whole place was
filed with smoke.
A telephone message was sent to
the city aud the department arrived
in time to save the house from utter
ruin. Nobody was hurt and the
financial loss was fully covered by
insurance.
But this is the incident that will
live longest In my memory: Some

II, on any day since his arrest,
Batson had brought shadow of
proof to break single link Of the
chain of evidence that enmeshed
him, he could have walked out on
the streets without a hand lifted
against him; but not link has
been weakened.
In view of these facts, the Advo-
Gates fears that any undue

son are rather silly. II the off,
GERS say that an attempt was made
to break Jail, and that Batson was
probably concerned in it, the Advo-
cate may be contentto accept the fact
as true, but it really matters little
either way. Compared to the crime
with which he is charged, anything
else must appear venial and trivial
The American refers to this mat
ter at some length, because Batson
is going to be tried again in few
months, aud the people of Calcas-
leu have showed such forbearance
and regard for law so far that they
have earned the right to have the
verdict, whatever it may be, ac-
cepted as correct. We trust the
Advocate may always be equally
insistent on fairness toward
people accused of crime and equally
solicitious that the law take its
course. It may help to abolish &C.
currences which many people re-
gard az stains upon the fair fame

TENDER SYMPATHY FOR BATSON.

The Baton Rouge Advocate,
which seems to have constituted it
self the defender of Albert Edwin
Batson, late of Missouri, but more
recently Of Calcasieu parish jail,
tenders the people of Calcasieu the
usual scolding for daring to think
that he was concerned in the recent
attempt at Jail breaking 1t says:
awe think it only fair and just
that the full facts be well estab-
lished before an accusation should
be made Of an attempt 70 break
Jail, by man under indictment for
murder Surely the facts are oh
tainable. Batson is held under this
grave charge at Lake Charles. II
he made the attempt to cut his way
ont of Jail he is entitled to the
odnm of such a charge, but II
seems cruel injustice to add TO his
other woes by laying this charge at
his door, unless investigation has
established its verify
Really the solicitude of the Ad-
vocate for the amiahle Batson's
reputation and good name Is touch
ing. The Advocate worried consid
erably over the report last spring
that Batson would be lynched-|
which report turned out to he to
tally unfounded Then it hogan 10
worry over the alleged difficulty of
giving him fair trial When he
was given every opportunity to
clear himself of the frlghlfGl charge |
against hlm-an opportunity Of
which he avalled himself rather
sparingly-and was convicted by Il
fair and impartial jury, the Advo-
cate Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that the jury was preju
diced and it's verdict the result of
popular clamor.
True, the Supreme Court reviewed
the case, and while it annuled the
trial upon technicality, found no
such evidence of prejudice; but the
Advocate is determined to believe
us to be a blood thirsty lot, still
trying to manufacture evidence and
to poison the popular mind against {
him. Once for all, the American
can assure the Advocate that there
is not, never was and probably
never will be the shadow of pref
ldice against the man Batson. The :

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of tie
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless theinfammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to les
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrf

TlLTING WORK
NOW FINISHED

The transport Warren last night re-
sembled n combination of junk shop
and a sand battery. and she is today
perhaps the most extraordinary look
ing craft that ever brought up along
side of a Honolulu wharf.
Early yesterday morning the work
of dumping pig iron forward ceased
and instead. a shift of boys in blue
started 20 pile bags of coal on the
forecastle deck. BY o'clock in the
afternoon 10 tons of coal had been
stacked up, and at midnight the
amount of blac kstuff forward totalled
$50 tons, slowed away in 1900 bags.
This gave the Warren the look OF an
old Missouri river steamer in war
time. pressed into service and equipped
with sand battery.
a lot of scrap iron from the Homo
lulu Iron Works was also deposited
forward. 1t was a choice collection of
heavy rubbish. and embraced pretty
nearly everything in hardware from an
iron boiler TO a crowbar.
There is now about $50 tons of stuff
piled forward, made up as follows: $50
tons of coal. 400 tons pig iron, $50 tons
ships ballast, 100 tons scrap iron and
a water .ank weighing so tons.
Last night the transports stern =.
iStered about twelve feet Of water. and
the bolts Of the broken propeller blade
were level with the water. The YES
sells bow has gone down about seven
feet since fitting operations commence
ed. In order to further transfer weight
from the transport aft. all boats nave
been lowered to the wharf. as has the
ships launch, which weighs about six
tons.
Yesterday afternoon work on the
broken blade commenced. and the ce-
ment was knocked from the hub AMI
ten small nuts taken off. The work of
unloosening the large nuts win be I'M
dertaken this morning. a force of
men was working all last night. The
other ten days will see them on their
way to Manila.
The broken blade snapped off about
eighteen inches from the hub. and it is
difficult 20 account for the accident.
The fact that one of the other blades
is somewhat bent toward the end lends
color to he theory that the propeller
struck some heavy submerged object
the contact with which snapped off a
blade.
The work. so far. of tipping the ship.
has progressed very rapidly, for, be-
side the $50 tons of iron and coal car
ried forward, at least 500 tons of cargo
has been unloaded and left on the
dock
There will be no reception and dance

dition of the weather and the ship.

the tiny crafts troubles, however, for
it developed yesterday that the master
of the Laura, Captain Burnette. had
been UP against a $1,000 penalty in that
he had violated section of the act of
February 10. 1898. by failing to pro-
duce the consular bill of health re-

Relative to the matter, DR.. Golfer.
the chief quarantine officer. advised
Collector of Customs Stackable that
from the captains statement that this
is the first time that he has either
commanded a vessel or entered an
American port, and from the fact that
he had shown what was perhaps an
excUsable ignorance of American laws,
the Doctor was of the opinion that
whatever may have been his motive
for failing to obtain the certificate, il
was probably not to evade a quaran-
tine law, and therefore he advised the
Collector to impose a small fine.
Collector Stackable has accordingly
imposed a fine of $50, and advised Cap
tain James Brunette to that effect.
The penalty in question is the only
one that the Collector is empowered to
reduce.
