DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachion tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Clyde Fitch's comedy, "The Girl and
the Judge" reached the highest pin
nacle of favor with theatregoers dur
ing its phenomenal New York run,
and its great success was still further
emphasized by its many scenes being
utilized as the medium around which
was woven one of Weber & Fields
most successful travesties. THE Girl
and the Judge" is a comedy, pure and
simple. Its chief beauty hes in the
perfect naturalness which permeates
its every scene. The play will be pre-,
sented in this city at the Lyceum'.

The Union League Club acted wisely IN
fusnc rashly to launch q movement to cut
down the representation of the Southern States
in Congress. Such an agitation at this time,
spreading over the country al il certainly would
if started by so influential an organization,
would retard the negros progress rather than
advance it II would give weapons TO the
demagoeues of the South and tie the hands of
the patriotic sober white citizens of that region
who are consCentiously trying TO solve the race
problem and secure the negro his rights The
stock in trade of the Tillmans and the Moneys
is the appeal TO old preiudices, the excuse
for firing the Southern heart to resent Northern
interference, Just the stock in trade Of the
Tammany dema cogue here is to appeal TO local
prejudice and parade himself as the champion
Of popular rights against the forces of decent
government in city and State. Such resolu-
ton as that proposed in the Union League Club
would have been hailed with delight by those
who are trying to keep down the negro. 10 de-
