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
Enstachan Tube. When this tube Is
infamed you have rumbling sound Or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can he
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.

shed and death ended a social" at
the Methodist Episcopal church at

in the congregation
The man killed was Benjamin Cape
ly Mrs. S. H. Harper was wounded in
the side, and Henry Garden was shot
in the leg. Two other men, who fled
after the fight, were slightly wounded.

standing over the management of the
funds which had been raised for the
erection of a new church building
During the evening there was a
clash between adherents of the rival
factions and it is said that a blow
ives struck. Instantly guns were pro-

Kisses Mother Who TAUGHT Him.

NEW YORK, April 3.-When Willie
Hoppe dropped his cue after the 5O0th
shot that defeated George Slosson in
the championship billiard game, he
jumped into the box nearest the table
and kissed his mOther-the woman who
taught him to play the game.
The mother wept with JOY. Her
ambition for the boys education had
been completed. That education had
been attended to as carefully by the
mother as though she had set out to
make him a great banker, lawyer or
author He is today still champion of
the world, and passed over to the
mother who taught him how to play
the $4,000 gate receipts and the bet Of
$500 that he had made with Slossen.
Mrs. Hoppe said today:
willie took to billiards and pool just
a duck takes to water. 1t comes from
his father, who taught me. I really
did not teach Willie or Frank how to
play. I just carried out their lessons
as set forth by my husband. He had
to work down town and 1 saw that
no time was wasted by the boys"

PITY FELT FOR WOMAN.
Court Orders Deportation Of Murderer
Mans Wife.

BOHEMIAN, Mont, April I'm the
county Jail, not thirty feet from the
cage in which La Sing is awaiting ex-
ecution for the murder of her husband,
Mrs. Tom Sing, or Ma Lay, a pretty
Chinese woman, is being held by the
United States authorities awaiting de-
portation to China on the ground that
she is illegally in this country, not
having been registered. Permission has
been granted the woman to remain
here until next Monday in order to dis
pose of the laundry and other personal
property left her by her husband, who
was murdered with a Ratchet by Lu
Sing last october. The woman is re-
ported to have stated that she will
never be taken back to China alive
and it was through fear that she might
harm herself that she has been con-
fined in Jail.
Her case has aroused great sympa-
thy in this city, and everything posi-
BILE has been done to reverse the order
of the court directing her deportation
Some of the influential men of Boze-
man today telegraphed to the United
States attorney general asking him to
grant permission to Mrs. Sing to re-
main in this country until an appeal
can be taken to the court of appeals
at San Francisco So far there has
been no reply, but favorable action is
hoped for. In the meantime friends
are assisting to dispose of her laundry
and other personal effects. which will
be sold and the money realized turned
over to Mrs. Sing.
The woman has figured in several
kidnapping episodes in which, It is
said, it was sought to place her in a
den. She was finally married out of a
San Francisco mission by Tom Sing,
who thwarted the desires Of another
Chinaman, who sought the girls hand
in marriage The Bozeman ministry
delegated Rev. r. M. Donelson to go to
Washington and intercede with the
president in her behalf. He carries
with him a petition containing prac-
tically all of the names of Bozeman's
residents.
A report gained circulation today
that the woman would give any white
man 500 to marry her, thus giving
her the right to stay in America. AS
a result three men presented them
selves at the Jail today, but she de-

CADETS MUST Be GENTLEMEN
COmmandant at West Point Issues
Stringent Orders
REbUkED CADET GEORGE R. BYRD
ALL CADETS IN FUTURE MUST
OBEY THE RULES OF THE
MILITARY ACADEMY.
REBUKED CADET GEORGE R. BYRD
WEST POINT, n. Y, April 3.-Gen'

WEST POINT, N. Y, April 3.-Gen-
eral A. L. Mills, superintendent of the
military academy, has administered by
special orders an unusual rebuke to
member of the first class, Cadet George
r. Byrd, who was accused Of using
an expression which referred to an Of
ficer, and with the intention Of show
ing disrespect while walking near him.
The offending cadet will be confined to
certain limits of the reservation until
June 10, and walk a stipulated number
of punishment hours. General Mills, in
commenting on the case, said:
"In imposing this punishment the su-
perintendent wishes to call attention
to the childlishness of Cadet Byrd's
offense, and his deplorable lack of ap-
probation of the dignity Of his posi-
ton. For a little boy to attempt to
hide his identity in a group of his
fellows, or to conceal himself in any
other way and, so hidden, to call de-
risively at one of his instructors, is
quite in harmony with what might be
expected, but for any cadet, especially
one of the first class, to so far forget
the dignity of his position, is to cast
upon himself the grave suspicion of not
being suited to undertake the respon-
sibilities of the position he is being
trained to occupy. To Intentionally try
to wound the feelings Of another man
who is simply doing his duty, and
without giving him an opportunity OF
knowing who it is that offers him such
an indignity, is a violation of the ac-
cepted idea of what constitutes a gen.
tleman a man distinguished for fine
sense of honor, strict regard for his
obligations, and consideration for the
rights and feelings of Others

A VERY INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY
Sixty-Eight Years Ago the Steamship
Sirius Made the First Trip Across
the Atlantic.
the Atlantic.

QUEENSTOWN, April 3.-Although
no special celebration was held, it was
recalled at the chamber of commerce
and among the veterans of the ship
ping district, that sixty-eight years
ago today, on April 3, 1888, the Sirius,
the first steamship that made the west
ern trip across the Atlantic, sailed
from here for New York, which trip it
completed in eighteen days. On June
16, 1897, the Sirius was lost off the
south coast of Ireland. In May of last
year the wreck was raised, and now
most of her metal has been made over
into steamfitting and taps. Her crank
shaft, which was of solid brass, has
been sawed into small discs, which
have been suitably engraved and dis
tributed as souvenirs.

FROM GAS: FUMES

Deadly gas from an open brazier Of
coal nearly asphyxiated John Clonan
and William Caldwell, plasterers at work
on the new Lamoreaux & Van Valken-
berg cigar store, Nicollet avenue be-
tween Lake and Thirty first streets,
Tuesday afternoon. Owing to the in.
tense cold they moved one Of the three
braziers orst ders, which they
used to heat the building, into a small
back room and fired up in the hope OF
getting the room warm enough for the
application Of plaster.
Entering the room to work they
threw a fresh supply Of coal on the
glowing heap and mounting their plat
form set to work on the ceiling. The
gases generated from the fresh coal by
the hot fire rose to the ceiling and after
short time the men found their heads
swimming and their hands unsteady.
Other painful symptoms led them to
seek the open air, where they realized
that they had had narrow escape from
asphyxiation. -.
Their helper, who did not work on
the platform, escaped the gas which
rose to the ceiling and did not suffer at
all. The men were at work yesterday,
but the salamanders stood cold and
empty and the heat was supplied by air
tight stoves. .-,-.N-,*

The Parade, Riverside park and

for public Fairgrounds. He has not had
the time to prepare any detailed plans,
but in the course OF few weeks ex-
sioners a rather comprehensive outline
Of what, in his opinion, ought to be
done to make the parks of the city
more attractive and useful.
Scenic effects are well enough in their
way, but it is Mr.. Wirth's earnest de-
sire to bring the people, and particu-
larly the children, TO the parks for their
games and recreations. To compel chill
dren to play in the streets and back:

acres of beautiful tracts strikes him as
homogeneous to say the least.

HTo combine the beautiful with the
useful must be the policy OF sound

to assume the. duties of the chief ex-
