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, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

FORMER CRISES
IN STOCK MARKET
Black Friday In Sonic
Ways Most Famous.

NEW YORK, October -(SpeciaD
Now that they have had time to catch
their breath Wall street men are fig
airing why it was that last weeks col
lapse in the stock market was accom-
panied by so few failures. That the
collapse did not result in a panic, with
the consequent failure of many stock
brokerage houses, may doubtless be
attributed to one cause, namely that
the public was not in the market.
To go no further back than 1903
it is found that declines much less
than those of last week brought dis
aster to number of stock exchange
houses. In July of that year sharp
decline of prices on the oath of the
month, following a, long period of
liquidation, forced the suspension of
two stock exchange houses, and
these were followed three days later
by another. The failure of Talbot J.
Taylor & Co, one of the three, was
connected with the losses incidental

FALSE IDEAS OF
HOME ECONOMY
Thrifty Housewives May
OyerreaCh Themselves.

LONDON, October 29.-(SpeciaD-
A writer in the Express is inclined to
criticise the thrifty" housewife who
scrimps and saves, and then invests
the savings in some unnecessary ar
ticle. Rather, says the writer, the
economy would be in a more liberal
expenditure and doing without the
extras.
The art of saving is thus discuss
ed:
There is no doubt that in many wo-
men the passion for saving small
sums in their housekeeping expendi-
ture not only puts their victims to
great discomfort, but often when car
ried to the extent of economizing in
food and firing becomes actually de-
trimental to the physical well being
of their husband and children.

of c. R. Burnett for an absolute di-

Mrs. Burnett was beaming over
with joy as a result of the disagree

False Economy

Where the income is so limited
that this rigid economy is absolutely
necessary in order to keep the ends
within hailing distance of each other,
it is another matter, but in many
cases the economizing is done merely
to crafty the housewives own special
whims. There are some women who
appear odevote all their leisure mo-
ments to devising new schemes where
by they can save a penny on each
weekly book, and when the pennies
thus saved have sufficiently accumla-
ted, it affords them the keenest joy to
purchase Herewith some totally I'M
necessary piece of furniture or other
outward and visible record of their la
bors They regard it as a symbol of
wifely, self-denial, utterly regardless
of the number of burnt fingers, not to
mention the wear and tear of nerves
and temper, which have resulted
from the use of cheap foreign match

have contracted because they were
sent to school in cheap shoes, instead
of sound, water-tight boots, nor the

Panic Of 1901

The panic Of May 8, 1901, finds its
adequate explanation in the Northern
Pacific corner resulting from the
light between the Hill and Hartman
forces for the control of that property,
and in the necessity of selling other
securities to meet the situation devel-
oped by the corner in Northern Paci-
fic. Losses in that stock were made
good by sales of other securities, and
it was all done so precipitously and
with such dread of the result of the
struggle over Northern Pacific that
values crumbled away.
The extreme weakness of the mark
ct inNoyember, 1890, was attributable
70 several unfavorable developments
not the least of which was the news
81 the Barring failure, which became
known on the 18th of that month.
During the same month number of
failures occurred here, although the
declines were not as severe as those
which have taken place in recent
weeks. 1t was in November, 1890, that
Decker, Howell & CO., failed and sew
eral less important failures occurred
in the same month.
September, 1873, is remembered as
one of the most disastrous months in
the history of the stock exchange. 1t
was on the goth of that month that
conditions became so bad that the au-
thorities of the stock exchange closed
Che institution for ten days. On the
same day trading on the stock ex-
change was suspended at the height
of the panic, but not before a score or
more of houses had gone to the wall.

in this country was BLACK Friday

A clique of spectators, including

modify. On the eventful Friday morn
ing gold was quoted at $50. The
price was forced upward until it
touched 1862. AT this point the L. S.
Treasury came to the rescue and
sold first a million at 1862, and then
sold at 161 and 160 THE Treasury

the gold board and dozens rushed to
sell. In a few minutes the price of

The Cars Unhappy Life.

Gar Nicholas and his family have
removed from Tsarskoe-Selo to Peter
hof for the summer. Everything has
been done which the ingenuity of men
can conceive to secure the safety OF
the Russian ruler.
The palace has been fitted with a
new system of telephones in immedi-
ate connection with the three guard
houses in the park. BY pressing but
ton the cZar can alarm the 800 men
who guard him night and day. These
buttons are not only in every room in
the cars suite, but in several places
in each room.
The cars cabinet, where he works,
has been lined under the leather and
wood paneling with sheets of steel.
In this secluded spot the weary auto
crat has now taken his residence for
the present, according to reliable &C
counts, completely broken in health,
looking much his bold self outwardly,
but below the surface a wreck of un-
strung nerves.

Ii Was Horribly Brutal.

Two miles in the interior of big
swamp near New Orleans the headless
body of Walter Lamana, an Italian
child between and years old, who
was kidnapped and held for $4,000 ran
som two weeks ago, was found by po-
lice and vigilantes just before day
break Sunday. He had been strangled
to death according to the confession
of several Italians held by the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled,
causing the head TO become separated
from the body when decomposition set
in. The head was found short dis
lance from the body.
Five Italians, two of them women,
are under arrest, charged with being
accomplices to the crime.
Seldom since the Malta lynching, 16
years ago, has New Orleans been so
stirred with threats of violence as to-
day.

Maxim Gorky, In letter to the Ma

tente, and puts forward reasons why
England should refuse the Russian
government money. He describes the
car in the following terms:
"A degenerate, as egotistic as an ami
NAL and equally ignorant of every prin-
ciple of justice. He is incapable OF
work and is guided solely by the in
stinct of self-preservation. Apart from
this instinct he has neither aim, idea
or duty.
His business is in disorder and on
the very verge of bankruptcy. Every
day he seems to be approaching nearer
and nearer to ruin. He is tyrant;
in his home a cruelty, sensually dis
eased man, hated by and repugnant to
all, incapable of high aims and lost to
all human feeling.
He is still physically strong, and
the knowledge of his approaching an
Inhalation is no secret to him. 1t arms
him with the courage Of despair. He
has no scruples and fights like wild
beast. He already shows, however,
signs of WEAKNESS, and the end which
he so well deserves is drawing near"

The Personality of Labor.

The notion is quite too prevalent
that the workiDgman is primarily an
economic problem; that he ought to
realize this and conduct himself with
mechanical regularity and impersonal
uniformity as fractional unit of labor
power. We shall never make any
Roadway under that doctrine. The
workingman is first Of all human
being. The purchase of his labor is
only in a limited sense to be compared
to the purchase of commodity and
cannot be treated in the same way.
AS DR.. Abbot has suggested, in the
sale of sugar or flour the personal re-
lation of mutual confidence need enter
only once, at the time of the ex-
change; but where you are buying Ia
Dor the laborer goes with the labor,
and the personal relation Of con-
fidence and responsibility must be
there all the time, from day to day
and week to week, or somebody is
cheated. Therefore, whatever method
of getting along together is adopted,
says Hayes Robbins in Atlantic, it
must count with personal qualities as
an essential part of the relation.

Other than by Orchards word 1t has
