 It will be erected at the northwest cor ner of Noble and Twelfth streets. one block from the business portion of the city, and work will begin at an early date.
 The hotel will embrace all the latest improvements in hotel construction, and will be sufficiently large to meet the de- mands The dimensions of the building will be 130 feet on Noble and 125 feet on Twelfth street. There will be three small store rooms on either side of the broad entrance which will lead from Noble street to the rotunda and hotel office. The ladies' entrance will be on Twelfth street.

The above cut illustrates how a distin- guished lawyer and politician was seri- ously injured because he could not readily hear the ordinary sounds of the street.
 This accident or incident is one to which many who are hard of hearing are ire quently exposed.
 Two acquaintances of the writer were run down and killed by the cars in one year. Both had catarrh of the head, which had extended up the eustachan tubes, leading from the throat to the middle ear, and were quite hard of hear ing In both cases the coroners jury de- cded that they came to their death be- cause of inability to hear and heed sig nals that were intended for them. What happened to them is of frequent occur renee, and in three cases out of four might have been prevented by the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
 Catarrh of the tubes leaaing from the throat to the middle ear is the cause of three-fourths of all the deafness Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will cure the catarrh and thus restore hearing.
 That they actually do this is fact of daily occurrence, as attested by such let ters as the following:

OFFICER GRIFFIN
 DIES OF INJURY Was Shot by Captain Taylor of
 Montgomery Police
DEATHCAUSESEXCITEMEN
Trouble Is Supposed to Started From the Arrest of Young Man at The atre By Griffin-Taylor
 Will Not Talk.

Montgomery, February r. - Special J. Police Officer L. c. Griffin, who was shot by Police Captain W. H. Taylor last Friday night, died in the city infirmary at 6;15 o'clock this evening The death of Officer Griffin has caused considerable excitement in the city and sentiment seems rather bitter against Captain Fay Tor.
 It will be recalled that Griffin was shot by Taylor at 10 o'clock Friday night just after the two officers had left the Mont gomery Theatre. Taylor, who has charge of the police force at night had repri manded Griffin for failure to keep order in the gallery and urged that if order was not maintained another officer would be detailed for duty at the theatre in Griffins place. The officers left the the atre and went in the direction of head quarters. As they turned the corner into Monroe street Griffin was heard to re- mark that he would not stand 1t any longer" and it Is supposed that he re- ferred to having been twitted by other officers for the arrest of a young man at McDonald's Theatre several days prior
 
 required to force the young belligerent to headquarters.
 Offender Was Discharged.
 The offender was discharged and other members of the police force are said to have been rather severe in their criti cism of Officer Griffin's action in the matter. Shortly after Griffin made the remark to Taylor pistol shot was heard and Griffin ran back to the corner cry ing, T am shot"
 Taylor proceeded to headquarters and quietly informed Sergeant Thomas that he had shot Officer Griffin and entered a charge of assault to murder against him self. Griffin was taken to the city in- firmary. Taylor refused to make a state ment for publication, but he claims that Griffin assaulted him with his club pistol, and bears two wounds on the head to substantiate this. He says that after being struck he drew his pistol and fired one shot at Griffin, the ball passing through the stomach and lodging against the clothing in the back. Griffin made a dying statement in the presence of his physicians, but they will not make 1t pub lie. It Is asserted that Griffin claimed that Taylor struck the first blow. Captain Taylor is now in the custody of the sheriff.
 Taylor Will Not Talk.
 When seen tonight he said he had no statement to make, but seemed much af- fected by the news of Griffin's death The two officers had been friendly previous to the difficulty Friday night. Griffin was a very quiet but efficient officer. He was strictly religious man, and this is sup posed cause that he was not more con- genial with his fellow officers He was serving a second term. Taylor has been captain of the force since the resignation of former Captain John Martin a year ago. He has been a member of the force for several years, having filled every po- sition on the force up to his present po- sition. He is considered very fine of- ficer, cool and fearless.

 The Liberal Imperialist press is enthusi- astc in declaring that Lord Rosebery is the one man who can lead the Liberals back to power. Notwit thstanding these various views many express the belief that Lord Rosebery is today about the most popular public man in England. Lord Rosebery himself appears to be per- fectly satisfied that he will ultimately win the game. He Is young for a states man. and time and precedent are alike In his favor.

 Army Surgeon c. S. Beverly became so deaf from catarrh that he was forced to resign his position and abandon his pro- fession. He says: "Of course, my in- herent professional prejudice was hard to overcome, but knowing the great benefit you had received, my dear general, through the use of Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets, I used them. The great relief I ex- perienced was truly astonishing. l am now entirely cured and go back to my old post next month";
 MT. F. Mitchell Hawes, the famous bary- tone in a personal letter to a friend said: "I am going back to my beloved profession next month. This will sur prise you, I know, for when I last saw you I never expected to sing again; but am entirely cured of my catarrh and my hearing is now as acute as ever. I used Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and In three weeks they had done for me more than all the specialists, to whom I paid thousands of dollars, and now I am en- tirely we'll"
