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 con.
st;tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an.
infamed condition Of the mucous lining of the,
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiame,l
you have rumbling 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 condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inAamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness lcaused by catarrh) that con-
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send.

communication from the law firm Of
Watt q Dohan, of Philadelphia, sug-
costing the impeachment OF another
member Of the federal judiciary, Judge
E. Henry Lacombe, of the Circuit Court
for the southern district of New York.
Twelve separate charges of alleged ms
conduct on the part of Judge Lacombe
are enumerated by Watt & Dohau in
their communication.
The day has been very dull one here
in all respects. The bad weather ha:
kept many people in doors and the at
tendance of members of both houses Of
Congress was slim. Up to 3 o'clock bul
little business of interests had been trans
acted in either branch.
Street car traffic was considerably
tied up today on account of the storm,
and much inconvenience was occasi oned.
But few cars from Alexandra on the
electric read have arrived during the

Whale wbacked the Gable Line

Washington, jan Is. The army signal
Office learned yesterday the cause of the
break in the Alaskan cable. A report
was received in Washington stain G
that the laundering of a whale caused
the fracture. 1t is presumed that some
evidence of the whale must have re-
manned, or the news could not have
been impaired so positively. 1t did not
take the cable ship Burnside long to
make repairs when the break was located.
The break in the cable really caused the
wreck of the Burnside and necessitated
considerable expense in repairs, to say
nothing Of the inconvenience and loss
entailed by the interruption of com
municatiOn and the extra expense of
using another route to send messages.
