There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a runbling 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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten

MILLIONAIRE DIES SUICIDE.
Mystery in Violent Death Of William
Mariner at Milwaukee.

milwaukee, Wis, March 23.-After
bowling with a group of friends whose
names rank among the best known in
the northwest, William Mariner, son
Ephraim Mariner, a multimillionaire,
went to his home Wednesday night
and shot himself thru the head. The
body was not found until yesterday af-
ternoon, when his nom appearance
caused an investigation resulting in
the discovery Of the suicide.
The cause is not definitely known.
In a statement issued soon after the
finding of the body, John Mariner, the
dead mans brother, says the family
can ascribe no cause for the suicide.
In some quarters last night it was re-
ported that i'll health for five or six
years past, family troubles or a finan-
teal squeeze might have caused de-
spondency and driven him to kill him
self.
Suicid,, Planned Deliberately.
1t is believed that Mariner had de-
liberately planned his death from the
fact that he seemed moody Wednesday
evening and appears to have killed
himself as soon as he reached his bed
room.
The Mariner family is one Of the
richest in this section of the country.
Attic Ephlaim Mariner, the head of
the family, is still alive, his age has
resulted in the -devolving upon his sons
of the care of most of his business
and William Mariner is said to have
had charge of the entire real estate
interests OF his father.
The magnitude of the business is
shown when it is stated that the Mar
liner estate is one of the greatest land
holders in the United States, having
besides great tracts of improved land
in this and other cities enormous hold
ings in timber and cut-over lands.
Financial Troubles Secuted.
Relatives declare that there was
nothing in either the family affairs or
financial matters interesting the estate
that could have caused Mariner to end
his life. Neither Is the story of Ill

SOURCE OF THE SHANNON.

Says Writer.

Some readers Of The Gaelic Ameri
can living "outside the Union" in the
state of New Jersey, recently got into
a controversy as to the source of the
river Shannon. One, Far Down."
Major Joseph p. Flood, contended that
it rises in Cavan, while the other,
James ]. Amrock. a Roscom1non man,
claimed the honor for his native prov
ince of Connacht. They made a bet
and decided to leave the decision to
The Gaelic American. The witnesses
to the bet are Stephen ]. DOnnclly and
John ]. Hayes, and a number of others
are interested IN the decision. The
recollection of the editor was that the
Shannon rises in Ulster and runs a
few miles in that province before be-
coming the boundary between Con-
nacht and Lcinster, but not wishing to
trust his own memory, he referred the
matter to u friend who is we'll in
formed on such subjects and who took
the trouble to consult maps and au-
thorities before answering. Following

THE AMAZING "REFoRMArioh."
Henry the Eighth, IRE "Far Seeing"

In Martin Hume's recently published
book. THE Wives of Henry the Eighth.
and the Parts They Played in History"
occurs the following passage relative
to the royal English Buebeard, says
the Sacred Heart Review:
Il regard Henry himself not as the
far-seeing statesman he is so often de-
picted for US, sternly resolved to free
his country from the yoke of Rome
and pressing forward through n life
time with his eyes firmly fixed upon
the goal Of England's religious free
dom; but rather as a weak. vain, boast
full man. the plaything of his passions,
which were artfully made use of by
rival parties to forward religious and
political ends i'll the struggle of giants
that ended in the Reformation"
This the London Spectator" (Janu-
ary 13) believes to be. without doubt,
the fair, the true. as we'll as the modern
view of Henry. THE more people
learn, to read between the lines of
contemporary chronielers and other
writer's" says our London contem-
porary. Judging the facts justly, and
taking the fiattery for what 1t is worth,
the less likely, one imagines. is any
future whitewashing of Henry. Even
his young days. so much glorifled, are
seen, in the light of truth, to be those

the fierce self-indulgencc by means of
which n hopeful prince became II re-

forth with great clearness, and in a
most interesting and readable way,
the gradual deterioration of Henry'a
character as he became. year by year.

sincerely cared for England's religious
freedom, Major Hume, from careful
study Of the man. declines to believe:
certainly, when he had gained lis OBJ
ject of making himself pope in Eng
land, there was no freedom at all of
any kind. The Pope was defied,
churches and inconsistencies were despoil-
ed. but yet hcretics we're burnt and
beheaded."
In this. Of course. Henry did not diff
fer from other rcvolters from the
Church. He wonted to be free to have
his own way. just as Luther did. but
as for granting or advocating religious
freedom. M we understand that phrase
today, there was not the slightest in
tention on their part to do 1t. Truly.
