DEALING With Souvenir. Hunters.

Mr.. Allen, who was elected to fill
the vacancy in the house caused by
the retirement of Thomas B. Reed,
states that Reed greatly disliked to be
approached by autograph seekers and
souvenir "ffends." In this connection
he. tells of an amusing instance in
which Reed turned the tables on a
particularly offensive specimen.
1t appears that one day at the close
of the session Reed was much put out
to- discover that some one had taken
his hat, leaving instead a battered tile
much too small for him. So 1t was not
in the best of humors that he left the
capitol.
Just as he was leaving the grounds.
finely dressed individual rushed up
to Reed, and grasping his hand shook
1t effusively exA claiming:
IT am sure that this is the famous
Thomas B. Reed! Altho stranger in
Washington, 1 recognized you at
once!"
With frigid bow, Reed sought to
escape: but unavailingly. The strang-
er was to be squelched.
. "Ah!" cried he exultingly, you're
not going to get away so easily! You
must give me some souvenir VI our
meeting"

stantly responded Reed, who had been
observing the beauty of the silk hat
worn by the stranger, well exchange
hats" And suiting the words to the
action, the man from Maine quickly
effected the transfer. bowed politely to
the souvenir hunter, and was off be-
fore the latter could realize what had
occurred

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 inflamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Euatachian Tube. When this tube is
inflaned you have a rulnbling 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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition. of the
mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

By continuing the work of the cele-
brated English astronomer, r. A. Proc

is doing much to make the study OF
astronomy popular. In 1895 Miss
Proctor successfully conducted an ex-
petition to Norway to view a total
eclipse of the sun, and she is organic
ing a similar one to go to Burgos,
Spain, to witness the one scheduled for
August 30. A program is being ar
ranged for covering minor details Of
an eclipse, such as observations OF the.
diminishing sunlight, the peculiar
shadows cast by the foliage on the
ground when the sun is nearly eclips-
ed, the strange wavering Lines or
shadow bands, as they are called.

machinery new from the ground up.
A sensation was created yesterday
when Alderman Wilson procured an
INDUCTION from District Justice Hamb-
lin restraining: Mayor Jackson from
calling an election to choose new
mayor and aldermen to work under
this new charter. In his petttion he re-
cites that he and all other officials
are legislated out of the offices to
which they were elected for two years
and that their time is not yet half ex-
pired. The judge granted a temper
airy writ restraining the mayor as
prayed.
The new charter provides for only
five city officials, a mayor and four
aldermen. 1t gives the mayor the au-
tocratic powers od naming all subof-
ficials, heads of departments and APP
pointing all employees and of discharg-
ing them at will. He is thus made
responsible fon every department. and
is only curbed by a veto of three
fourths of the aldermen.
Residents Greatly Amused.
The city officials who get thrown out
with the advent of the new government
have had no popular support in their
antagohism to it's adoption Citizens
are aroused to "A point that they will
brook no such interference of their
plans to get rid of boodleisa md graft
which have sunk the city netp in debt.
II the injunction can not be dissov-
ed, and that soon, heroic measures
will be adopted. A new plan now fav-
orably viewed is to have the city's
| bondflolders ask for a receiver for
| Houston on the grounds of misman-
agement, corruption and. threatened
dissolvency This, If nothing else,
will separate the clinging officials from
their posts, according to legal advice.
Then later the new form Of govern
ment may be installed.
