Franco and Yenezuela.

Paris, Jan. l9.-The council of minis
tiers was called together this morning to
discuss the subject of Frances action
toward Venezuela In view CT the break
ing off of diplomatic relations and the
necessity Of the government bringing
President Castro to time. While no
official announcement has been made as
10 what occurred at the meeting, it is
known that Premier Rouvier advocated
that energetic measures should be taken,
but that France should proceed with
caution, in view of the international sit
uation, and. the possibility that Venezu-
Ella will modify its attitude. The gov
eminent will consult with the General
Assembly and ask its approval of the
naval measures before any definite step
is taken. Assurances of the approval
by the United States of the plans which
may be ultimately determined on will
also he sought.
The correspondent Of the Publishers
Press interviewed a high official on the
subject of what action France will take
in the Venezuelan matter He said:
Energetic measures certainly will be
decided upon, but we shall go slowly in
applying them, first, because we do not
intend to be rushed by Germany into
another Mexican affair and, secondly, be-
cause we have reason to believe that
President CastrO's government is not
very firm. In case he is OverthrowD,
his successor might prove more ;ractable
and would give France an opportunity
to avoid the unpleasantness of resorting
to coercion"

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, aud that is by eonstitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an
indammed portion of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube, When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. aud when il is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. aud unless the infam.
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored 10 its normal condition, hearing will
bealestroyed forever: nine eases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an
iniamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

MARION +. HALL
FORMER EDITOR OF THE PHIL.
IPPI REPUBLICAN DIED AT
HIS HOME TUESDAY.

PHIL1PPI, Jan. 1S.-Marion F.
Hall, Of this place, died at his home,
at s o'clock Tuesday morning, Of par
alysis. Wednesday evening Of last
week the afiiction came upon him,
and from that time his friends had
but little hope Of his recovering. The
right side was affected. At no time
during his Hines could he be very
well understood by those who waited
by his bedside.
Mr.. Hall had been in very Ill
health for some time, and to the weak,
ness occasioned By this illness, no
doubt, is due the failure TO recover
from the paralytic stroke.
Mr.. Hall had been a prominent man
in the affairs of Barbour county. he
always took great interest in poll.
tics, and was Republican from prin.
cIple, working constantly for bis par:
ty.
He was postmaster at this place
one term, and was popular as such.
For many years he edited the Phil
ippi Republican, and built that paper
up to be one of the leading county pa.
pers Of this section of West Yir-
ginia.
He was a business man, and had
much industry. A number Of the
best homes in Philippi are monu.
ments to his industry and thrift. He
built and sold, then built again. His
last home, the one in which he spent
the closing hours Of his life, is q
model Of beauty and completeness.
He leaves to mourn for him Wild
