Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
THERE'S only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth,
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

HOW A RIDING HABIT

Magazine.
Even Emile de Girardin-whom
she welcomed as 1.-The gravedigger of
dynasties," because he had gone to
Louis-Philippe on the eve of his
fight in 184S to warn him as he came
to warn her now-said to her very
seriously that night:
Should your Majesty appear
bravely on horseback in the midst of
the people, your Majesty can still
count on their enthusiasm and de-
votion."
on horseback. She ordered that the
all black, of the severest simplicity.
And she would just pin the red rib
bon of the Legion of Honor On her
left breast.
Often the slightest causes bring
about the gravest results. Regularly,
when a m dresses herself to do
a certain thing, she succeeds in ac-
complishing it. The tragedy of the
Empires last chance, therefore, must
be sought along with the black rid
ing-skit and corsage. :
BY incredible i'll luck they could
not find it. There has been one; but
1t had disappeared-"doubtless stol-
en-" Others were at Compiegne and
Fontainebleau. They found a riding
habit of dark green with heavy gold
braid, the costume of the Imperial
| Stag-Hunts.

sit will not dol"
And so, for lack of a black skirt
| and corsage, the Empress of the
French was forced to flee her capitol,

Hine, of the Public Service, appeared
and promised all sorts of things, such
as five-minute Roadway for trolley
cars, extension of the trolley
line to a section of the city which
has heretofore been ignored and so
on. All this would be done If the
city only will give up the idea of a
municipal plant.
1t will be recalled that there is u
similar situation in Newark where
there is also an agitation for munic-
ipal ownership of electric lighting.
All this merely goes to prove that
when confronted with real competi-
ton the Public Service monopoly can
reduce its rates and offer better ac-
commodations to the people. 1t also

AFTER
New York Wants P~rincetOn's Former
Star Twirler.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S:-The New
York American League Club will
make a determined effort to secure
Doc Hildebrand, famous as the star
boxman at Princeton University sev-
eral years ago. Hildebrand is tech
nically. the property of the Washing
ton Club, but the young man, after
agreeing to get here shortly after
leaving college, decided hat he want
ed to play in a larger city, an impos-
sibility under the circumstances,
which forced him into retirement. AT
the American League meeting in
Chicago last week Manager Cantillon,
of Washington, had a deal all cooked
up by which Hildebrand was to be
traded to Pittsburg in exchange for
Outfielder Ganley. The former
Princeton mans brother, Homer, has
played with the Pittsburgs, and has
been trying to straighten out some
sort of a deal like this for some time.
But when Cantillon asked the other
American League clubs to waive
claim on Hildebrand the New York
Club declined to do so, as Manager
Griffith and Treasurer Farrell believe
that Doc is just the man wanted to
strengthen the local team in the box.
If young Hildebrand wants to play
| ball in New York city, therefore, he
will receive a chance to sign a con-
tract at a fat salary, his release from
Washington, meanwhile, to be pur-
chased outright.
When Hildebrand vas at Princeton
many professional managers looked
him over and pronounced him one of
the best young pitchers they had ever
seen. He was not only a splendid
pitcher and batsman, but he was also
a famous football player, being cap
tain of the varsity eleven as well as
the nine. A natural born athlete, he
concluded, like many other young
men, to put his physical talents to
good usage, and that is why he de-
cided to play baseball for a salary.
He would probably have played with
Washington two years ago, but for
the fact that he changed his mind in
view of a better offer from Barney
Dreyfuss. But the Washington club
hung onto him by NEAR of the re-
serve rule until Cantillon, the new
senatorial manager, concluded that a
trade for Hildebrand was in order.
If Hildebrand agrees to play with
the New York Americans, both
Princeton and Harvard will be well
and ably represented in the profess
sional arena, as Walter Clarkson,
famous captain of the Crimson nine,
will doubtless be one of Griffith's
best twirlers next season.

PREPARE FOR DINNER

The Vice Chancellor Will Receive
Exceptional Honors Upon
His Retirement.

NEWARK, Dec. 19:-Arrange-
ments were made at a meeting of a
score of more of lawyers from var
ious parts of the state which was
held in the offices of Lindabury, De-
pue & Faulks, in this city, for the
proposed dinner to Vice Chancellor
Henry C. Pitney in the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel, in New York, on January
sary of his birth.
Frank Bergen was made chairman
of a general committee of arrange
ments and Halsey M. Barrett was
made secretary. Among those who
were present and who were placed on
the general committee are Alfred
Mills, of Morristown; John S. Apple
gate, of Red Bank: John l.. Connect,
of Pennington; Willard p. Voorhees,,
of New Brunswick; William B. Gour-
ley, of Paterson; Judge George M.
Shipman, of Belvidere; Nelson Y.
DUNCAN, of Somerville; Charles M.
Woodruff, of Newton, and Judge
Charles l.. Carrick, Max T. Rosen-
berg and Frank P. McDermott, of
Jersey City; Richard V. Lindabury,
former Judge Francis Child, Attor-
ney-General Robert H. McCarter,
Prosecutor Henry Young, Oscar Keen,
Chauncey G. Parker, Samuel Kalisch,
Edward M. Cloie and Edward A. Day,
of Newark.
Former Supreme Court Justice Gill
bert Collins, William H. Corbin,
James B. Vredenburgh and Charles
D. Thompson, all of Jersey City, who
were unable to be present, were also
placed on the general committee. Mr..
Bergen will name a dinner commit
tee, a reception committee and an
arrangement committee.
1t is likely that the dinner will also
partake of the nature of a farewell
to the veteran jurist in his official
capacity. No definite announcement
has been made of any date on which
he will retire from the Chancery
Court bench, but it has been known
within a limited circle for some time
| that he contemplates resigning the
vice chancellorship. 1t is said that he
intimated as much to Chancellor
Magic some time ago, without fixing
any date. 1t is now said that he will
most likely give up active work on
the bench upon the completion of his

RAMBoozLING THE FARMER.

The Newark Advertiser has 8
whole lot to say these days about
bamboozling the farmer all because
several of the farmers associations
have passed resolutions opposing
Senator Dryden's reelection. If the
editor of the Advertiser would 20
out more among the farmers he
would find that the farmers are not
rs easily bamboozled as he thinks
they are.
The farmers, as a class, are the
most intelligent citizens this country
has. They know what they want
and can not only take care of them
selves, but act as a safety valve for
the country when their fighty city
cousins become highly excited over
some radical ideas. 1t is the re-
turns that come in from the country
districts at every election that dis
courages the agitators and gives en-
enlargement to the patriot.
The American farmer is a we'll
read man. In nearly every farm
house throughout the land, and es-
pecially in New Jersey, will be found
all the current literature and books
on all the questions of the day.
These are read during the long win
ter evenings while the city mar is
fooling away his time in the theatres
and at the clubs. While the farmer
works he thinks about what he has
read, he reasons out the various
points and draws his own conclu-
sions. He drives to church on Sun
day and meets his acquaintance
with whom he discusses the diff
ferent subjects.
Having thus fixed a matter in his
mind, no politician from the city can
bamboozle him. With the spread
of socialism and with ~agitators
spouting on the city streets, with po-
liticians making deals with corpor-
ations and all forms of corruption
showing up everywhere, the people
turn to the farmer, with the little
ed school house at the cross roads,
a v the country.

The Story of a Domestic Rebellion.

lHc OtOFy VI IL OOiAlSotiC AsCOSAAAo
The Pennsylvania Dutch-patient,
stolid, law-abiding, G~od-fearing, and
above all things, humbly obedient to
the traditions of their fathers-are
among the most interesting of the
alien races which have settled at our
door. In "The Reforming of a Bride
groom" which appears in the NO
vember McClure's, Helen Martin has
given us one of her most fascinating
studies of this people. She knows
the mas a man knows the characters
of the small village where he grew up
knows as the intimate, hidden de-
tails of their personal life, which
give Their their peculiar individuality
as a .pap.4le,-and writes of them
with d rich, warm, human under
standing aad sympathy. 1.-THE Re-
forming of a Bridegroom" tells how
a Pennsylvania Dutch woman OF
e~mancipated ideas incites her young
er sister to rebel against the tyranny
of a kindly but stolid husband who
was getting that spoilt with her
yielding ways" The characters In
the tale-the earnest Lavinia, a Re-
former to her people, the bewildered
husband, Giddy Lapp, and The irresiA
tible EXPERIMENTATION of artless
femininity=are as unforgettable as
a group of Dickens people.
