The unfayorable part OF the Sunday
report is the unusually large number
OF deaths. Another distinguished
member Of the Roman Catholic clergy
is in the list, Father l.. f. Green, of
the Jesuit College. He died at o'clock
Sunday afternoon, after being i'll eact-
ly week. He was struck with a chill
last Sunday just after delivering lee
ture, but nothing was thought of it.
The next day he visited a room in the
college which had been screened and
made ready for emergencies in accord
ance with the suggestion of DR.. White,
and jokingly remarked to one of his
colleagues that they had the room
ready now and only needed the first pa
tient. A few hours later he was the
occupant. He was later transferred to
the Hotel Dieu. He suffered from
other complications which caused the
fatal ending. He was SO years of age
and a native Of England. He had been
here about two years and was a
teacher in the branch school conducted
by the Jesuits on ST. Philip street.
There was not a single Italian name
among the other deaths. One occurr-
ed in the Emergency Hospital, one in
Algiers and one in the French Asylum,
on ST. Ann street.
Since the Marine Hospital Service
has been in charge, the officers have
discovered 81 foci infections, which
has been of some standing and were
unknwon except through the second
ary infection. The district officers have
been especially diligent in thus trac-
ing up infection and this has been the
means Of checking what threatened to
be serious nests in different neigh
berhoods.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT o. 1905

WHAT Richmond needs, and needs
badly, is a good Commercial Club,
composed of her energetic, wide
awake business men; men who are for
the upbuilding and substantial growth
of our city. We can look about us
and see our neighbor towns getting
ahead of US in this matter. There is
no doubt but that such an organiza-
tion tends to increase a town or city's
growth and insures more business and
more prosperous times. Why should
Richmond sit still in this matter {?
The past few years have revealed a
marked progressive spirit here. but
now the one thing lacking is an or
gained body or club of our business
men, whose object will be the con-
tinual growth and general revival
in business lines in the city. There
is no question as to Richmond having
splendid facilities as to locality. etc.
We are in the very heart of Madison,
one of the richest counties in the
State. We have in our midst the
finest schools, churches and other
public building that are the pride of
our town. We also have some hust-
Iers when it comes to our business
men; but the missing link, the thing
necessary to keep a lively interest
and put Richmond on a basis with the
first cities in the State is a CONNER
cial Club. There is no reason, abso-
lutely none. why Commercial Club
should not be organized here. See to

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
infiamed 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 des-
trOyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused b.
