Nevertheless he is a person of some
distinction, having been decorated by

Cen. Bovnton and chlokamauoa.

Leading citizens of Chattanooga,
Tenn. are agitating a movement to
erect a memorial to Gen. II. v. Boyn-
ton, late dean of Washington CORE
spondents and head of the Chatta-
nooga and Chickamauga national park
commission. He is recognized as the
originator of the idea and it was he
who drew up the bill for the creation
of the park commission and pressed
it's passage through congress. The
idea has also been urged that Gen.
Boynton should be buried on Mission
airy ridge, where he was wounded.
That he was Chattanooga's best friend
was a common remark when the news
of his death was received there.

Only Sure Road to Success.

Everybody is seeking to "get rich
quick" without the formality of ac-
emulation by slow but sure proc
ess; everybody is looking for royal
road to riches, and so intense is the
hunt for that road that 1t is no Won
der people sometimes forget to care
whether or not the road they try leads
through thickets of petty crime. There
is but one safe and sure road, and that
is the old-fashioned one of living al

is. No fortune can be made without
a start, and a start is a start, no mat

CLASS BARRIERS GO DOWN.
Effect Of British Arlstoeracy Engaging
In Trade,

In Trade,
The tendency of the British aristo-
cracy 10 engage in trade may have a
wholesome effect upon the nobility. 1t
will break down in time the absurd
barrier which has prevented social in
tercourse between the shopkeeper and
the man with title In politics this
has already been done. The people of
Great Britain are now governed, 1t has
been said, by committee of the house
Of commons. The prime minister of
Great Britain, Mr.. Balfour, is of aris-
ocratic descent, being nephew of the
ate Lord Salisbury. He is billiant,
many-sided man. But the statesman
who probably has the strongest hold
upon the British people is Joseph
Chamberlain, formerly secretary of
state for the colonies, who is a de-
scendant Of the middle class" and is
himself a manufacturer and trades
man. Mr.. Chamberlain has more
brains than most of the British no.
billty combined, but under rigid in
depreciation Of the social canons in
England he might not be admissible
to the best society" in Britain. With
the nobility going into trade, however,
there will soon be an end of this non
sensical exclusiveness. - Baltimore

was very sorry but the way they have
been shooting in this town for the last
II months it is a wonder to me there
have not been fifty killed. We SYM
pathise with the bereaved family of the
deceased but the on-union people did
not sympathise with us when my
brother was killed in the Alabama ex-
plosion. My brother was member of
the Improved Order of Red Men his
membership was at this place, and the
parties in possession of the keys to the
Lodge room were non-union men, and
they would not let the other brothers
have the keys to the lodge room to get
funeral regalia because brother Fred
was a union man, and none Of his non
union brothers ever came about the
corpse or went to his funeral. Where
We're our sympathisers on the nonun-

ion man attended the funeral and that
was Mr.. John Norwood. He showed
brother respect / am thankful to say,
though, that the funeral procession
proved to us that brother Fred had lots
OF friends as everybody said it was the
largest ever gathered at funeral in
this place. Fred was true union

themselves that they had been at the
house Is or 90 minutes when the fire
was discovered.
Now as to W. F. Barker not smoking
That was general rumor that night

he smoked great deal. don't know

Deafness CANNOT be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumpling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infiamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
