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 Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restOr-
ed 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 condition
of the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

themselves in the New York melodra =
tcrS for {, matinee and evenings run.
The plot is a powerful one. and deals
with the adventures of a scheming wo-
man. who. assisted by Il female accom-
plice designs the ruin Of Il happy fam
lily, and the separation Of wife from
husband and children. in order that she
can contract a marriage with the hus-
band. and thereby gain his fortune.
She is prevented from doing this. how
ever. by the timely interference of two
characters Il Frenchman and an Irish
servant woman. who in thier respective
parts make no end of amusement for
the audience. An unusually strong
cast will interpret the play. and the
scenic effects are the most realistic
ever attempted in a melOdrama. One
scene in particular, that of the famous
palisades at night, showing the coun-
terfeter'S den, gives great effect.
and with the many revolving scenes go
to make up as strong Il scenic pro-
duction as has Yet been Witnessed in

found these interesting characteristics
and he portrays them with a clearness
and ability which has won for him an
artistic triumph.
Mr.. Ed. Redmond. who appears in
the character of Davy Crockett in the
play of that name. is especially we'll
flied to portray the character of this
wonderful American. He has made an
especial study Of the life of Crockett.
and has come to actually live the part
while on the stage. The late Frank
Mayo achieved his greatest fame as
Davy Crockett. and for years the pub
lie would not tolerate him in any other
part. Not until he appeared as Pud-
d'nhead Wilson in Mark Twain's ia
NOUS play. would the public allow him
TO forego the character of Davy Crock
cit. Mr.. Redmond is the legitimate and
worthy successor Of Mayo in this mag
nifcent drama. He has appeared in
the principal cities of the country. and
the dramatic critics have joined in de-
claring his conception of the part to be
without a flaw. The public. too has
endorsed the judgment of the great
dramatic reviewers. The character of
Davy Crockett s one that appeals 20
the sympathy, the interest and the pa
triotism of every true American. The
quaint humor of the famous bear
hunter. his unfailing goOd-nature. his
daring, his keen Wit. his manly indie
pendence. and his patriotism combine
to make him one of the foremost fig
ureS Of the nation and one of the
great men of his generations. To see

supposed government assayer that i,
ture of tin. copper and other metals

gold. 1t is worth only a few cents. Mr.
Allen came here with Il man who had
been at Wellington, and whose name
was supposed to be j. Armstrong. They
went to the Manhattan hotel. and the
bogus brick was brought to Arm
strong's room by attendants. who
guarded it carefully. Mr.. Allen saw it.
1t was learned that there was regis

assayer, an authorized agent of the

nOunced it pure gold and offered Arm

ever. that he would have to wait until
it had been shipped to the mint in
Philadelphia. had been weighed and
assayed. Armstrong was in Il hurry
for the money. and offered to dispose
of the brick to Allen for $4,000.
The deal was made. The men went
to the Fourth National bank. where
Mr. Allen WAS known and where he
procured the cash. Stone the assayer.
was to buy the brick from Allen for
s2l 900. Soon after. when both men
had gone Mr.. Allen called a jeweler to
the hotel and had him apply the acid
test to his prize to see if it was genu-
inc. The ieweler said it was worthless.
Mr.. Allen then reported the matter
to the police and left immediately for
his home in Wellington. The brick is
now on exhibition in police headQuar-
ters and the police have no clue to the
men. If genuine it would be worth
about $4,000.
