blinded the motormen on the trolley
roads. and great trucks that were stalled

for long periods.

this city and the outlying stations were
late many hours, and in some instances

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 intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gest
iufamed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 70 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; 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
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

NEVER in recent years has public in
dignation been so aroused as it now has
against the men who, through the fail
ures Of securities companies, are alleged
TO have robbed the citizens of Lexing
ton and Fayette county Of nearly ST.
100000. Expressions that bode no good
to the alleged offenders are frequently
heard, and the indications are they will
soon begin their exodus. Thirty-seven
indictments for embezzlement against
the former officers and manipulators of
the defunct investment companies have
been returned by the grand jury. The
cases will come up in June, and if the
opinions of those strictly on the inside
are to be credited there will follow con-
yictions enough to satisfy the indigna
ton Of the people who have been robbed
of their money.

RICHARD n. TOWNSEND DEAD.
The Victim of Apoplexy Resulting
From Fall

Mr.. Richard H. Townsend died at his resi-
dence, 2121 Massachusetts, avenue at II AS
o'clock last night of apoplexy. November
last Mr. Townsend fell from his horse
while out riding near Cleveland Park. He
sustained a fracture of the skull and his
condition was regarded as most serious for
several days, when turn for the better
took place. He regained consciousness and
hope was held out for his recovery
few days ago, however, he relapsed into
Inconsistencies again. and 1t became ap-
parent that he could not recover. When
the end came last night there were at the
bedside the wife Of the deceased, Mrs. Mary
Scott Townsend; their daughter Mathilde
Townsend; other members of the Townsend
household and Drs. Franck Hyatt and
Compton.
Richard H. Townsend was a native of
Philadelphia. He was fifty-two years old
and had resided in Washington with his
family for more than ten years His father
was a prominent Philadelphia dentist He
received his education in the schools of
that city. He married Miss Mary Scott,
daughter of William L. Scott, former
member Of Congress and Pennsylvania coal
magnate. For several years after his mar
riage Mr.. Townsend conducted a brokerage
business for his father-in-law in the Quaker
city Since coming to Washington he en-
gagged in no active business pursuit. He
was an enthusiastic club man, and a mem
Der of the Metropolitan Club, the Chevy
Chase Club and the Country Club of this
city, and was well known in club circles in
Philadelphia and New York. A volume of
poems and pastorals had been privately pub
lished by Mr.. Townsend, the work of his pen
at odd intervals, copies of which he had pre-
sented to his closest friends. About year
ago the Townsend mansion on Massachu-
sets avenue was completed. 1t is consid
cred the finest residence, so far as archi-
tectural features are concerned, in the city.
Miss Townsend, the only child, was to
have been a debutante this season. She
and her mother were constant attendants
at the bedside Of the deceased during his
illness

INTEREST IN DIR. LoRENz
Local Physicians Desire to Meet Him
in Clinics.

So far as could be learned today DR..
Adolph Lorenz, the famous Vienese surgeon.
has not decided whether he will hold public
clinics during his stay in Washington Ad-
vices from Chicago today were that the
famous surgeon will leave the windy city
Saturday night and will arrive here Sunday
night. Wherever he has been in this coun-
try, it Is said. he has been besieged with
letters and kilograms from parents and
relatives of crippled children requesting and
praying for the benefit of his healing
powers.
President Roosevelt has taken lively in
terest in DIR. Lorenz's work and the surgeon
will meet the President through the Aus
trian ambassador It is not unlikely that
he will hold one public clinic while here.
From Washington he will go to Baltimore,
where he will appear at clinics at Johns
Hopkins University Hospital, and perhaps
other places in that city. He will be in
Philadelphia four days and will go from
there to New York.
1t Is understood to be the desire of Wash
ington surgeons to witness the work of this
marvellous surgeon. and an effort may be
made to have him present at meeting of
physicians and surgeons.
