Fool Talk From a pscker

A special dispatch TO the New York Times
from Denver is to the following interesting
effect:
There Is not word of truth in all this
nue. and cry about embslmed beef. and the
investigation Of the packing companies or
oered by the government will injure the
country more than the San Francisco FIRE"
said Nelson Morris OF Chicago today Our
trade is vanishing away, and 1t will be
taken by Argentina and other South Amer
lean states. South America will supply the
canned meats that we have been supplying
10 foreign nations The time is at hand
when the west will again have TO raise cat
tie for their hides"
who is responsible for this state of at
fairs? Did the book written by Upton Sin

was asked.

Those who have visited the meat-packing
establishments OF Chicago and appreciate
their number and extent have doubtless
been somewhat puzzled by the statement
In news dispatch from that city stating
that Secretary Wilson continued his in
spection of the Union Stock Yards today
and made trip through several OF them
before breakfast" Much depends upon the
meaning of the word several" But there
remains a more plausible explanation OF
the Secretary's enterprise, so remarkable in
the circumstances. 1t is quite possible that
after going through one or two the Secre-
tary did not want any breakfast.

From tue savannah News
The most pitiable figure in the public eye
Is the Gar of Russia. Lord and master of
the lives and liberties of millions of sub
jects, he has less liberty than the meanest
podder In his empire. There isn't day or
an hour in which he is not in fear of his
life. Even the servants of his household
and the officers of his guards are perpet-
ually under suspicion. The car is at once
a prisoner and a fugitive, who must remain
under guard and at the same time keep
moving from palace to palace In order that
his children may not know precisely
where he may be reached with a bomb or
a poisoned morSel.

ROOSEVELT WEDDING GIFTS.
They Will Not Amount TO sLOOO,OOO In

They VIII Not Amount to aLOOO,OOO In
Value, as Has Been stated.
Washington, Feb. Although there
win be nearly 900 guests at the we'd
ding of Miss Alice Roosevelt aud Repre-
sentative Nicholas LongWorth, it is the
wish of the President and Mrs Roosevelt
that the event be attended with as little
publicity as possible. The list Of guests
viii not he published officially. and there
will he no official list of wedding pres
ents.
Il was said today that although it had
been reported in sensational publications
that the wedding gifts would reach "a
total value of at least S1,0O0,0OO, the
actual value would prove to be a small
fraction of that amount Ii was said
that a reduction in this estimate should
be made proportionate TO the reduction
which was made in the first published
estimates of the gifts brought back
from the Philippines by Miss Roosevelt
last fall. 1t was reported that these
gifts amounted to several hundred thous-
and dollars, but the actual value, as ap-
praised at the Custom House, was less
than $4,000
Il is expected that eight or ten gifts
will be received from distinguished for
eigners, although an effort was made
through the diplomatic service of the
United States TO head of these presents.
In some instances, however, the gifts
had been started ON their way to Wash
ington before the word was sent out. The
valuable tapestry which is the gift of
the French President is a case in point.
There viii be no bridesmaids
The task of making mp the invitation
list was an extremely trying one, and 10
is safe 20 say that not more than one
tenth of the whole number of persons
who believe they are entitled TO invita-
tions have been included. Yet the capac-
ity of the East room will be taxed to The
utmost, and il is doubtful If an of those
present viii be able to see the marriage
ceremony.
The Republican members of the New
York delegation in the House of Repre-
sentatives held a meeting, yesterday, to
discuss the selection of wedding pres
ent for Miss Alice Roosevelt Mr. Dwight
was named as n committee to make the
selection and It is understood that he
will choose set Of Tiffany glass which
several of the members have inspected
All the Republican members from New
York have been invited to the wedding
reception but of the Democrats only

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they 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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling 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
DESTROYED forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness tcaused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
