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-
ditlon Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling 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 restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
Oothing but an inlamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused BY
eatarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's

enrolment to yesterday was 977.
AS will be seen this shows an av-
erage monthly increase of 25.4 pupils
per month.
t The average daily attendance for
the term just closed was 1872, and
the percentage of attendance was 81,
a remarkably good showing for both
children and parents. The percentage
of punctuality was even better, hav-
ing been 99.2. The average number
belonging for the term was 823.2,
while the total number absent was
1885. There were 1877 tardies re-
ported for the same term and only

SCORED A SUCCESS.
Amateurs cIeverIy Present Comedy
"she stoops to conquer.''

0HS 0tOOPS 70 NOnQueF
Being modest, as are nearly all who
achieve success based upon merit, the
ladies and gentlemen that partici-
pated in Tuesday evenings theatri-
cal performance at the opera house
are wearing the honors they won in
becoming manner and the praises be-
slowed upon them only increase their
modesty of demeanor, instead of
turning their heads with vanity.
The play presented is one that is
we'll calculated to try the skill and
talent of amateurs, as many profess
sionals have failed in efforts to sus-
tain the more prominent characters
it contains, consequently the work
done becomes all the more creditable
and remarkable for it's excellence. 1t
was the first time that Billings au-
dience had ever witnessed "She Stoops
to Conquer" and the manner of it's
presentation more than satisfied, both
in it's stage setting and the Individual
acting of the company. Miss Colvin
fully sustained the somewhat trying
part of Miss Hardcastle, the stellar
character, while Mrs. Mccormick in
the leading female role as Mrs. Hard
castle only added to her reputation
as clever and charming portrayer
of comedy acting. Mr.. Denniston
made very acceptable old man, car
rying the trying role of Mr.. Hardcas-
tie with an ease and finish that sur
prised. Mr.. Rixon's conception of
Tony Lumpkins was thorough and he
gave evidence of latent talent as
character actor that would have
undoubtedly led to a successful career
as a professional comedian had he
decided upon a career on the stage.
AS Miss Neville Mrs. Lewis Babcock
was graceful and at ease and made
much of her part. 'Messrs. Crippen
and Mains as the two friends, Mr..
NARROW and Mr.. Hastings, were nat
ural, which is as high praise as can
be bestowed upon an actor. While
making all possible out of their re-
spective parts, they did not overdue
and thus spoil their naturalness, a
fault only too often found with anna
teurs.
Although assuming characters that
may be said to be only incidental,
yet Messrs. Kelsey, Ovren, Clark and
Bell made much of their different
parts and added not little to the
successful presentation of the play.
Mrs Saddler was piquant and pleas
ing Dolly.
The lower part of the house was fill
ed, not seat remaining unsold. In
view of the fact that the play is not
one that usually appeals very strong
ly to the gallery, the goodly number
of those who occupied chairs in that
part of the house was gratifying ana
a compliment to the actors.
After the play the members of the
company and several others were the
guests of Colonel and Mrs. Babcock
at a supper given at McKune's cafe.

Every Room Occupied.

There is not a vacant room connect
ed with any Of the school buildings
in the city. Every one is put to use
and in order to accommodate the in.
creased attendance it has been found
necessary to fit up three rooms in the
basement of the new northside build
ing. Even with this addition there is
demand for more room, and the de-
mand is constantly growing and be-
coming more pressing.

WITCH RIDDEN, EH2
Broomstick Does Better
Than Jump the Moon at
Brighton Beach.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, July 9.-New worlds
record for one and one-quarter miles
was created in the Brighton handi-
cap. at Brighton Beach this after
noon. Broomstick, from the stable of
Captain S. S. Brown. the Pittsburg
millionaire, won by a short head from
Herman b. Duryea's Irish Lad. w. NJ.
Scheftel's Highball, winner of the
American derby at Chicago, was third.
The time 2:02 4-5 is the best on rec
ord now for the distance over any
kind of a track
Irish Lad led the way almost from
beginning to end. He faltered in the
last jump when BroOmstick, having
kept step with him for the last quar-
ter of a mile, showed his nose in front
as they passed under the wire. When
the Duryea horse came back to the
stand the great crowd knew why he
had faltered for he could scarcely
hobble along, having gone lame in
the last few strides of his record
breaking journey. Water Boy an !
Ort Welle heavily played as first anG
second choices were never prominent
in the running and finished fifth and
sixth respectively.

Mr.. DOOLEY TODAY
Mr.. r. P. Dunno Tells the
Story of His Famous
Characters.

Today the News and Observer be-
gins the publication of a new series
Of Dooley articles from the pen of
that crisp writer Mr.. Finley Peter
Dunno. They are unique, they touch
life at it's quick points. they furnish
food for thought and for worth.
Mr.. Dunno has gone to nature for
his characters. They are real, and
being real are delicious. How he
came to discover them and to make
them his, will be worth reading, and
here is the story
Archey Road stretches back for
many miles from the heart of an ugly
city to the cabbage gardens that gave
the maker of the seal his opportu-
nifty to call the city "urbs in horto.'
Somewhere between the tWo-that is
to say. forninst the gas-house and be-
yant Healey's slough and not far from
the polls station-lives Martin Dooley,
doctor OF philosophy.
There was a time when Archey
Road was purely Irish. But the Huns,
turned back from the Adriatic and
the stock-yards and overrunnng
Archey Road, have nearly exhausted
the original pOpulation-not driven
them out as they drove out the less
vigorous races, with thick clubs and
short spears. but edged them out with
the more biting weapons of modern
vilization-overWork and under
eaten them into the more languid sur
roundings remote from the tanks OF
the gas-house and the blast furnaces
of the roling-mill
But Mr.. Dooley remains and enough
reamin with him 10 save the Archey
Road. In this community you can
hear all the various accents of ire
land, from the awkward brogue of
the FAR -downor' to the mild and aisy
Elizabethan English of the southern
Irishman, and all the exquisite Varia-
tons to be heard between Armagh
and Banhy Bay, with the difference
that would naturally arise from sub
shutting cinderS and sulphuretted by
drogen for soft misty air and peat
smoke. Here also you can see the
wakes and chriStenings, the marriages
ana funerals, and the other feteS of
the oil country somewhat modified and
darkened by American usage. The
banshee has been heard many times
in Archey Road. On the eve of All
Saints Day it is well known that here
alone the poolies play thricks in cab
bage gardens. In 1898 it was re-
ported that Malachi Dempsey was
called ''by the other people, and dis
appeared west Of the tracks and new
er came back.
A simple people! simple, says ye!'
remarked Mr.. Dooley. Simple like
