The SIEGE Of the Pole.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The North Pole must get ready to come
out Of its frozen aloofness and be towed
to America or Europe and be set up in "a

combine" is to be applied to the task Of
conquering It, and who can doubt the

The idea is an expedition for the North
Pole under the direction of the famous
polar explorers named. There would
practically be no limit as TO expense, and
the combined knowledge of these experts
ought to result In an Arctic equipment
such as the world has never seen. How
many Of them would accompany the OK

In the Sussex county jail there is al

The Evening Journal has told Of pris-

OF the jail without supervision.
IN response to these authentic re-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

bv local application. 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 inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed 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 ana this tube restored

destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten

WIDENING TENTH STREET.

II HE DUPONT Company in preparing
Il to erect their fine new office
building at Tenth and Market streets
do not object TO building back from the
present line ten feet. But they ask the
street and Sewer Commission to Sc
cure the widening Of the whole street
from Market to Delaware avenue.
Otherwise, they ask that the resolution
providing for the widening Of the
street be rescinded.
To our mind backward step In this
matter az this time would be deplor-
able AT Tenth and Market on one
side towers the Ford building. and IL
an immense office building were erect
ed on the other side along the present
lines an prospect Of wider street
would have to be abandoned.
In the future we should have a mar
row gorge, giving just room enough
for the car tracks and no more. Trafic
win naturally increase as the years
pass and It would have to crowd
through this alley as best It could
At present our greatest business
street and our greatest residence
street are connected by what is little
more than an alley. which is only two
short blocks in length
The commission about two years ago
saw the Importance OF acting ere large
structures should be erected along the
old lines. Consequently it passed a
iresolution requiring all new buildings
TO be set back ten feet We are Of the
impression that the resolution also re-
,quired that in building new fronts the
ten feet Of space should be left. II not
that provision should he incorporated.
II is manifestly impossible for the
city to require all buildings to be
moved back as that would mean that
the city would either have to acquir,
the properties or pay large sums ia
damages. But by making a start IN
all probability the whole street will b,
widened within ten years and withou
the cost OF a penny to the city.

conclusions have a value since there is
so much to cause us to dissent. The
Weaknesses and frailties Of genius are
thoroughly understood. We may so

We're the antithesls.
The tenderest and most lovable OF
them -Burns-knew his own frail-
ties and did not hesitate TO pour out
his regrets In stirring verses. He had
something to say also Of certa n
class Of critics.
"Thlnk. when your castigated pulse
Gives now and then a wallop,
What raglngs must his veins convulse

And,
"Ye high. exalted virtuous danes,

Before ye give poor Frailty names,

But know not what's resisted"

ably know Byron and Poe as the Gre

this the only Interest in their lives lies.
