IRISH JUSTLY PROTESTED.

An obnoxious poster used in adver-
Using the play entitled GHOST OF
Micky Flanagan came near precipi-
tating a serious riot in Butte, Hast Mon
day. The subject of the poster was q
balloon being led about by a burly ne
gro. The play was supposed to have
taken place at the Grand Theatre, but
it didn't. The mob that stood in front
Of that playhouse was too much for
Mickey's ghost and his manager con-
cluded that discretion was the better
part of valor and cancelled the nights
show, apoligizing for the poster that
caused the trouble, stating it was a
stock bill and not the company's usual
paper.
Whether Is was the customary adj
vetisement used by the company or not,
poor judgement was displayed when
Butte was selected as the place to car
feature the Irish, for IL there is one
place on earth more than another
where there is nothing too good for
the Irish.' that place is Butte.
The righteous indignation of the cit
liens Of Butte should prove warning
to other theatrical managers and teach
them to be ordinarily decent in the Sc
lection Of advertising matter The
average show paper as displayed upon
the bill boards Of our cities and towns
is. an insult to the intelligence of
those who are compelled to look upon
It and does not speak highly for the
morals of those who make use OF it
or allow it to be displayed from every
available place open to the view Of
pAssers by.
The Irish are not the only subjects
of these depraved and degenerate
daubers, but they are the first to take
up the fight against further ridicule.
1t is time that all our people should
show the spirit evidenced in Butte and
demand a reformation in the show ad-
vertising line and while doing this,
why not place the seal Of disapproval
upon all plays whose main features
are hideous and indecent caricatures
of any race. color or creed?

Berlin Ministers PROTEST.
Opposed to Granting of Absolute Divorce
With Privilege to Re-Marry Except For
Certain Causes.

A majority of the ministers of the
gospel of Berlin have made an agree
ment regarding marriage and divorce
which we give below:
1--WE, ministers of Berlin, Md, recog-
nizing the constantly increasing number
of divorces throughout the land, and
deeply sensible of the peril, not only to
the homes, but also to the church and
State from the growing evil, do most
earnestly protest against the lax and
pernicious views upon this subject so
generally prevailing, and the Indifference
concerning it on the part of many in
every community. We desire to put
ourselves on record as opposed to the
granting of an absolute divorce, !. r.,
with the privilege of re-marrying, ex-
cept for the reason believed by many to
be contained in the New Testament.
And in the hope that we may do some
thing to further the cause of morality,
decency and social stability, we hereby
declare that, in consonance with the
discipline of our several eommunions,
we will not knowingly marry divorced
man or divorced woman while the
divorced husband or wife be living, ex-
cept when the divorce was specifically
granted for adultery, and then only the
innocent party in any such case. With
this reservation, however, that some of
us will not marry divorced person I'M
der any circumstances whatsoever, while
the other party to the divorce be living
We furthermore declare that we will
not marry any persons whatsoever
coming to us for this purpose from any
religious Body, other than to the one
which we may severally belong, if such
persons are ineligible for marriage by
the laws and customs of the religious
Body to which they themselves profess
to belong"

Had 375 Diseases.

According to testimony before a
magistrate by her husband, Mrs. Louis
Fucker, of Hoboken, has suffered from
375 distinct ailments in their three
years of married life. To prove this
the husband had in court 375 empty
patent medicine bottles, which had con-
tanned cures" for every trouble, from
consumption to corns. Mrs. Fucker had
her husband arrested on charge of
assault and battery. He told the re-
corder his wife spent $500 for medicines.
Every morning." explained Fucker,
my wife reads the patent medicine
advertisements. At once she imagines
that she has the ailment described, and
then groans and acts as if she were
really i'll. Then she buys the bottle or
powder and becomes well until the next
advertisement strikes her eye." Four
men brought in the baskets and cases
of bottles which were taken out for
inspection by the court. Mrs. Fucker
said she had paid for the medicine from
her own money. While testifying she
took a watch from her pocket, and a
bottle from her handbag, and drank a
spoonful of medicine. Recorder STAN
ton dismissed the case. AS the woman
left the courtroom she took pill box
from her handbag and swallowed two
large pills.

head. Two days were consumed in the

From WiIIardS to Snow Hill,

Messrs. Egbert S. Carey, T. II. Brown
and o. S. Sharpless, three gentlemen
connected with Westtown College, of
Westtown, Pa, accompanied by stu
dent of the same institution, have been
enjoying novel outing on the Pocomoke
River. They came by rail to Berlin,
Monday, May Sth, and proceeded by the
b. c. & A. Ry., to Willards, where
they placed their canoes in the river.
The boats were light and easily managed,
being constructed of canvas and bamboo,
and they carried tents, blankets, pro-
visions, cooking utensils, and everything
necessary for comfort and convenience.
The gentlemen proceeded leisurely down
the sinuous stream, making the trip to
Snow Hill in six days. In straight
line the distance is about twenty miles,
but by river it is considerably greater,
on account of the numerous windings
and turns. At night they camped on
the high lands, where they also prepared
their meals for the day. AT some points
along the river the stream was so mar
row, and the bed so shallow, that they
were obliged to lift their canoes upon
their shoulders and carry them, while
at other points their course was OBJ
structed by logs which had sunk to the
bottom when being RATED down the
river many years ago, and trees and
branches uprooted and broken off dur
ing severe wind storms. At night they
were lulled to sleep by the monotonous
whistle of the whippoorwill,a and boot of
the wakeful owl; while morning was
ushered in by the musical notes of the
hooking bird, the sweet call of the
turtle dove, the chatter of robins,
cuckoos and sparrows, accompanied
by the drum-beat of the woodpecker.
The gentlemen are enthusiastic over
the beauties of the river, and say they
have never seen scenery to surpass
that along the river from Porter's cross
ing to Snow Hill. They contemplate
making another trip in the course of
a few months.

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 infiamed con-
dition 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 en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
conditihn, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh' which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
