The Royal month and the
Royal Disease.

Sudden changes Of weather are
especially trying, and probably to
none more so than to the scofulous
and consumptive. The progress of
scrofula during normal October is
commonly great. We never think of
scrofula-its lunches, cutaneous
eruptions, and wasting of the bodily
substance without thinking of the
great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, whose radical and permanent
cures of this one disease are enough
to make it the most famous medicine
in the world. There is probably not a
city or,town where Hoods SarsaIa
| rilla has not proved its merit in more
homes than one, in arresting and
completely eradicating scrofula,
which is almost as serious and as
much to be feared as its near rela-
tive, consumption.

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
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumblihg sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

4 COME III.
Crowd Of 5000 Present at
Forbes Big Drawing.
Stove Drawn BY Mr.. w. D.
Torian, Of Julien.

AS previously advertised, the
drawing Of the Charter Oak stove
took place at 2;90 o'clock Saturday
at Forbes Mfg. Co.'s store. The
drawing was conducted by Mr..
Henry c. Cant, president of the
Bank Of Hopkinsville, on behalf OF
the Forbes Mfg. Co., and Mr.. Cup
ton, the special representative OF the
Charter Oak factory. Long before
the hour the disciples Of chance
thronged the big store and filled the
street for two blocks. According to
the published conditions, the holder
of the ticket had to be present. If
he was not, after waiting a given
length of time the second number
was to be called and so on until ten
numbers were called and if none of
the ten was present, it was to revert
to the holder of the first ticket called
out.
Mr.. w. D. Torian, the holder of
No. Z, was first called. He was not
on the ground. After waiting half
an hour the second number was
called. This was No. IL, held by
Mrs. ]. H. Fuller. Her husband
was present and had fifteen minutes
to get his wife there with her ticket.
He went on dead run to hunt for
her. Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller live in
Hopkinsville and keep grocery on
the corner of Fifth and Virginia
streets. He came back before his
time limit had expired in a profuse
perspiration and announced to Mr..
Cant IN disconsolate tones that he
couldn't find Mrs. Fuller.
No. 1889 was the third drawn and
it proved to be a blank. still in the
box.
No. 1851 was next drawn, held by
Mrs. S. R. Hackney, but she was not
present.
No. 1861 was the 9Th drawn, held
by Mrs. Mile Gamble, of Barnes.
She had witnessed the first part of
the drawing, but had gone home
when her name was called.
The sixth number was 1144, held
by ]. L. Allen, but he too was absent.
The seventh number drawn was
1888, held by John McCarley, but he
declined to claim the stove and UNI
der the rule it reverted to the holder
of the first number drawn.
1t was a big, good humored crowd,
and when Mr.. Fuller started on the
run for his estimable wife, who had
No. Ii, they were not so much dis
appointed but that they enjoyed
his race against time, and fondly
hoped to see the worthy couple come
in on double quick before their
time was out.
The remarkable feature of this
drawing was in the numbers drawn:
1t was Z come 11-then 1889, then
1861, then 1881, then 1144. There
was figure ! in every number, and
though No. II predominaCed No. Z
captured the prize.

TABERNACLE COURSE.
Hopkinsville, KY. Season of
1866.

The Tabernacle course for next
season will consist of the very at
tractive numbers as shown below.
The list is varied enough to suit all
tastes, and has been selected with
great care by our committee, and
glance through the attractions will
convince any one as to the merit Of
combination. No expense has been
spared, in securing this fine array of
talent, as a matter of fact, this
course will cost us to produce, near
ly twice the amount spent for the
course of last season.
All of these attractions have been
carefully examined as to their indi-
vidual merits. and we find them all
A No.. l in their respective lines.
They will be given as follows, with
no Saturday night dates:
No. l. Rogers -Grilley Recitals,
Nov. 9th.
No. 2. Bowden's "Hiawatha,"
Nov. 21st
" 3. Ralph Bingham, Dec. 4th.
" A. Ross Crane, Last of Dec.
A" 5. Laurant, Jan. Bird.
" 6. Cleveland Orchestra, Jan. Is.
" Z. Frank Nixon. Feb 23rd.
" 8. S. w. Gillian, Feb 18th.
If We meet with the success this
course should receive, in selling our
season tickets, we will give two ex-
ira numbers absolutely free to all
season ticket holders. We will sell
these attractions at the small price
charged last year, 25c per attraction
to season ticket holders. The prices
for single tickets, for each attraction,
will be as last year, from SOC to 75c.
We have gone over the list with dis
interested parties, who know every
lyceum attraction on the road, and
they every one say there is not
weak number on the course. The
only number to be given that we had
last year will be Mr.. Bin gham, most
of our patrons demanded this, and
as we are here to please if possible.
we repeat this number. We thank
you for your patronage last season,
and as this booklet will show, we
hope TO please you again next sea-
son. Respectfully submitted,

The London county council has just
placed memorial tablet on No, rs
Young street Kensington the house in
which 'rhackeray did his best work. It
was there that he wrote VANITY Fair"
II is interesting to recall In this con-
nection that Thackeray once piloted
MI. Fields the American publisher, to
the various houses I'm London where
his novels were written. "Cio down on
your knees. you rogue he said to Mr.
Fields. when the Young street house
was reached, for here Vanity Fair
was penned, and I win 60 down with
you, for ! have a high opinion Of that
little production myself" 1t has often
been remarked that American literary
pilgrims are more familiar with ION
don houses In which notable men have
lived than are Londoners themselves.
BY marking such houses with tablets
the London county council now makes
II easy for cockneyS to identify them,
But IT initiates against the joy Of dis
coyery which lent zest 10 the search for
them by Transatlantic visitors.

Special Correspondence.
ONION, Sept 2S.--Britsh pub
fishers arc complaining of the
American invasion Of their colo
NAL markets Tho Dominion. it is
said has ceased to be of any benefit to
them 80 far as concerns the Canadian
editions Of American books, aud now
American enterprise bids fair to cap
turc the Australian trade. To prevent
this. and recover the ground that has
been lost IL has been grayely proposed
that pressure should be brought to bear
upon American authors. British pub
fishers. it is suggested should decline
to buy American books unless they be
given sole colonial rights in them.
There is a certain group OF London
houses who, TO an mteuts and pur-
poses" says the sponsor for this IN
genious scheme. control the English
editions Of the best American novels

selves to refuse any book offered TO

the only considerations there Is the
kudOs attaching To an English vogue
which counts for even more and the
threat Of % boycott amongst the Lead
nE houses over here would therefore
make strong impression But the

ment for the period settled upon by
the contracting parties We believe
that "a vear or perhaps two years.
