Wreck Turns His Hair Gray.

CINCINNATI, O., July 24.-Attor-
neys have gone to Chicago to file suit
for damages against the Rock Island
Railroad company on behalf of Dan
Mccarthy, a well-known travelling
man of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Mccarthy was in a wreck on
that road some time ago and sus-
tanned such peculiar injuries that his
hair, which was jet black, before the
accident, is now fast turning white,
being already streaked with white, al
though he is still in the early 30s.
Many times Mccarthy arises in the
night to ascertain if he has lost his
sight, which has steadily failed since
the accident. Damages in a large
amount will be claimed because OF
these peculiar Affections, the outcome
Of which is very uncertain.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucuous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation 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 inf1amed con-
dition Of the mucuous surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Chauffeur Up for Speeding,

LONDON, July 24.-Whitelaw Reds

exceeding the speed limit. Mr.. Reid

The police said the car was going at
the rate of more than 80 miles an
hour The embassy claimed the am
bassadorial privilege for domestics and
the summons was withdrawn. This
privilege is of a kind rarely claimed
by the embassies, but strictly within
their rights.
The case is reminiscent Of Henry
Whites similar claim, when his son
was summoned for bicycling on a side
walk, and also on the charge of speed
ing an automobile, withdrawn, against
an attache of the British embassy
when residing at Lenox, Mass, year
before last.

Congressman Smith Of Michigan
Has New Bill Pending
SUGGESTS MODERN METHODS IN SERVICE
DEVICES WHICH, IF USED BY
THE COMPANIES, WOULD
LOWER THE EXPENSE.

Congressman Samuel w. Smith, of
Michigan, who has pending a bill in
the house to force reduction of tele-
graph rates throughout the country,
says there is not the shadow of doubt
that if the telegraph companies would
use the modern ideas and inventions
which have been perfected they could
largely cut down the prices now
charged for the transmission of tele-
grams. He made one speech on the
subject during the last session of con-
gress, and is preparing to make an
other next winter, and since congress
adjourned, while looking for material
discovery that Hon. Don M. Dickin-
son, of Michigan, while postmaster
general under Cleveland, held the
same views that Mr.. Smith is now ex-
plotting. In November, 1883, Mr. Dick
inson wrote into his annual report the
following significant statements:
IF the correspondence of the coun-
try is to continue to be under the
charge and protection of the govern
ment, the vast and increasing volume
conducted by telegraphy and the right
of the great body Of the people to be
afforded facilities for the best and
quickest transmission at rates within
the means of all will press this subject
upon the attention of the congress with
more and more urgency. The chief diff

DEVoNSHIRE'S MANIFESTO
Advises Free Trade Unionists to SIM
port Liberals.

Inc Duke OF Devonshire Observation-Disclosures
mas issued an important election manifesto
az London. In which he virtually advises
the iree-trade unionists to support the ub-
erat candidates rather than the protection
Isl unionists. BY treating the home rule
question as mere side issue he deals rne
strongest blow yet delivered against M
Balfour's election tactics.
The duke asserts that there is no innt
cation that the opinion of the country ma
changed since the rejection of the last
Eome-rule BILL and that 1t is in the hiphest
degree improbable that the government ar
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman will incur
the risk of introducing another such meas
ure in the next parliament Therefore ne
says. the question OF free trade versus pro-
lection must be the paramount factor IN
the coming elections. and he declares there
must be no deviation from attachment TO
free trade.
The duke confesses that he knows no
more now than when he left the late gov
eminent OF what Is implied by the Bal
fourfan fiscal scheme, which Its author ce-
clared to be acceptable to free traders ana
protectionists alike. On the other hand,
he says there is no ambiguity about tie
Chamberlain propaganda. which is avowed-
~ protectionist.
The manifesto contends that the un,onlst
party organization has largely been cap
tured by the protectionist wing, and that
should the party become predogninantiy
protectionst there will either be real dam
ger to free trade or the prospect of the
exclusion of the unionist party for an In
definite period from either power or in
huenee.
In conclusion. the duke declares that II
is the duty of Enlonist free traders to take
such action as will prove that the union.sr
party. as whole. whether In power or in
opposition TO 1t, Is still uncommitted TO a
retrograde fiscal policy. By whomsoeyer It
may be proposed.
