New York. Dec 2L-Attorney General
julius II. Mayer is reconciled to his de-
feat for reelection, although he wanted
10 win again.

on it at once, from telephone signals
down.

Messengers and assistants clerks and
stenographers have rushed in. This is
the burden Of what he has had to say to

Women Could Not Understand.
For ten days the representatives of all
kinds of organizations to better the
cause of humanity have streamed into
The attorney generals Office and de-
manded TO see him personally with re-
gard TO the appeal from the recent labor
law decision.
Attorney General Mayer tried TO ex-
plain 10 all that the reason he was not
in court to argue before the Appellate
Division on the appeal was because il
had been agreed upon on both sides that
the appeal from the special sessions de-
cisions in the case should be submitted
entirely by briefs His woman callers
were not satisfied, and the attorney gen
eral, exasperated by their persistency in
wanting to see him personally, finally
issued the instructions noted above.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. . Deaf ness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eastacian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the muco.s 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.

 The history of the New World contains no more romantic nor picturesque pages than those which tell of the ill-fated reign of Emperor Maxmilian of MeXl- co. Historians and novellsts have written at length of those days, but it is remarkable that only one really great play has been produced. "A Royal Slave,' which will be seen at the Newport opera house on Fri day, March 30 gives a vivid pie ture of stirring times which the world will never know again.

EPIDEMIC OF LYNCHTNG.
Rule of Mob Represents LoOsening of
Bands of Civilization.

In connection with the delays Of the
law | call your attention and the at
tention Of the nation TO the prevalence
of crime among US, and, above all. to
the epidemic Of lynchng and mob vio-
lence that springs up, now in one part
of our country, now In another Each
section, north south, east or west, has
It's own faults. No section can with
wisdom spend its tine jcering ut the
faults of another section. 1t should
be busy trying to amend It's own short
comings. TO deal with the crime OF
corruption !, is necessary 10 have an
awakened public conscience and TO
supplement this by whatever leglsla-
ton will add speed and certainty In the
execution of the law When we deal
with lynching even more Is necessary.
a great many white men are lynched,
but the crimo is peculiarly frequent in
respect to black men. The greatest eX-
listing cause OF lyuchlng is the perpe-
tratlon, especially by black men, OF
the hIdeous crime OF rape, the most
abomInable In all tho category Of

frequently avenge the commission Of
this crime by themselves torturng to
death the man committing II, thus
avcnging In bestial fashion n bestlal
deed and reducing themselves TO a
level with the criminal.
Lawlessness grows by what 1t feeds
upon, and when mobs begin to lynch
for rape they speedily extend the
sphere Of their operations and lynch
for many other kinds Of crimes, so that
two-thirds OF the lynchlngs are not for
rape at all. while a considerable pro-
portion of the individuals lynched are
innocent OF all crime. Governor Can
dler Of Georgia stated on one occasion
some years ago, II can say Of verify
that | have within the last month saw
ed the lives OF half a dozen innocent
negroes who were pursued by the mob
and brought them to trial In u court OF
q law In which they were acquitted" :"
AS Bishop Galloway OF Mississippi has
finaly said: when the rule OF a mob
obtains, that which distinguishes a
high civilization - surrendered. The
mob which lynches a negro charged
with rape will In a little while lynch q
