The "Seven" have "Swunk."
An apology is due to the readers of
this paper, which tries to be reliable
in the matter of the seven commit
teemen. The seven was written in
good faith, and with a sad belief. IT
will be seen, however, that the letter
was signed only by six. 1t is crafty

No Visible Meeting Last Night.
If there was a meeting last night.
1t could not be found. A reporter
went to the Academy of Music in
search of it. There were none of the
members to be found. On the stage
a lady in a pink dress with whitS
rose buds on it rushed frantically
about Keeping other ladies in another
room while four men, bulldog and
n house maid sought refuge in
trunk, which was hailed off the stage
amid the wanton cheering of the
rabble. At the Marlborough House
there was a dearth of committeeman.

it was not spectacular; and this re-

very noisome attack on the coloreu

this expression in regard TO the con-
duct of the colored people along the

now wish to say anything. But when
the writer boldly maintains that the
principal scene of this so-called orgy
was ''about what remains of Duval's

Mr.. Novel; And The Ercliffe

Being a passenger of the above
named boat on the Fourth OF July i
would like to make the following state
ment in regard to the accommodation,
etc. afforded MS BY the management :
Mr.. NOVEL; (the day captain) carried
a number of passengers (about nifty
not overcrowded as reported, to West
River (Galesville) on scheduled time
and was TO leave for Annapolis on re-
turn trip at 10 O'Clock in the evening.
At 10. 30 we telephoned for the boat
and were surprised to hear that the
boat wouldn't be over until the dawn
of day, and we must make out the best
way we could. There were ladies,
children, and men,, all out on the pier,
everybody ashore had retired and we
had no where to go. After about 3 hours
of waitingI the palace Boat" came,
and all thought they were off for An
napolis. But alas, we were more than
surprised wien the captain landed us
all on a pier in the middle of the
river, so there were no chance of escape
and no where to go for nights rest.
When asked what accommodation he
could give for the ladies he said II
have plenty of room for them at my
house and they can stay there with a
little "cost. - We asked if anything
in the way of eatables could be had
and were told it was "too late to eat "
The captain and crew left the boat in
a yawl for shore and there enjoyed
a nights rest, not spending thought
of his passengers on board. The ex-
cuse of the captain was "too windy,
but he was tired and wanted nights
rest whila he was home That is the
way Mr. NOVEL; treated his passen-
gers, and / don't think he will have
another chance. We arrived home
about O'Clock Wednesday morning
instead of IL O'Clock Tuesday night.

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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound of i'm
perfect 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 destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
witch is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.
