Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an nhamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tircly 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-
StrOycd forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Tested With Drops of Water,

From the London Chronicle.
 A drop of water, even three or four drops, falling on the head seems a thing unworthy of attention; neverthe- less, in China slow and continuous dropping of water on the head has been found to be method of torture under which the most hardened crimi- nal abjectly howls for mercy.
 When a professor in a Sorbonne institution stated this to his class the other day, one of the students laughed incredulously, and said 1t would take a good deal of that sort of thing to affect him.
 The professor assured him that even one quart of water dropped slowly onto his hand would be beyond his endur- ance He agreed to the experiment.
 A quart measure filled with water was brought in, microscope hole was bored in the bottom and the perform ance began, the professor counting.
 During the first hundred drops the student made airy remarks. With the second hundred he began to look less cheerful, until gradually all his talk died away and his face took on hag- gard, tortured expression. With the third hundred the hand began to swell and look red The pain increased to torture. Finally the skin broke.
 At the 420th drop the skeptic acknowledged his doubts vanished and begged for mercy. He could bear no more

ssoo,ooo JAMESTOWN BONDS
To Complete Construction of the Ex-
 position.

Norfolk, Va, May 4.-To complete in detail the construction of the Jamestown exposition and liquidate all the floating indebtedness of the exposition, the com pany at a meeting late this evening au- thorized issuance of $500000 in bonds, the 300 acres of improved property, including magnificent permanent buildings, being offered as security.
 The matter of negotiating the bonds was left with the board of governors and Treasurer Beaman. Already certain finan- cial interests have offered to take over the entire bond issue, it is stated. Pres ident Tucker, Chairman Johnson and J. T. Ellison of the board of governors, are in New York negotiating the loan. The report that the exposition company is on a financial preciplce was declared to be absolutely without foundation by Barton Meyers, who heads the financial depart ment of the company. He says that the company's assets are far in excess of it's liabilities. The board of governors, the administrative body of the company, was unanimously indorsed by rising vote Of the forty directors.

GERMAN PAPERS DISSATISFIED.
Don't Like Agreement With Us, But
 Advise Accepting 1t.

Berlin, May 4.-Only few of the even- ing papers discussed the commercial agreement between the United States and Germany, which was presented to the reichstag today for approval. The pre- valent note was dissatisfaction with the arrangement, though it was admitted that 1t is somewhat better than the existing one. Hence, it was argued Germany ha l better accept it.
 The Kreuz Zeitung expressed the opin- ion that the provisions mostly were more of formal than of a substantial char acter, and the agrarian Tages Zeitung ar rived at the conclusion that the United States gets by far the best bargain. The latter added that it believed the reich stag would accept the modus vivendi, but called on the members to make the government plainly understand that it could have obtained large concessions if from the very beginning it had shown the necessary decision.
 The Vossische Zetung said it thought the arrangement has given Germany far less than she was entitled to, and as- stunned that this view is unanimously held in Germany, adding:
 "The agreement can only be regarded as i. an expedent for staving off a tariff war and removing a few of the tariff griev- ances against which German trade has complained"

BRITISH TARS WIN.
By a Full Minute the Illinois Crew Is
 Defeated.

Norfolk, May 4.-By a full minute the rowing crew of the British ship Argyll this afternoon defeated the tars from the United States ship Illinois, winning the Battenberg cup, the prize offered for competition by the navies of the world at the Jamestown exposi- tion.
 The distance of the race was three miles and the time was 2S minutes for the British boat and 29 minutes for the Illinois crew. The Britishers started off slowly, allowing the American crew to lead for the better part of the race, then coming in with fine burst of speed the Argyll's men made a spurt which they kept up to the finish line.
 About S60,000 was placed on this race at even money. The conditions under which Prince Louis of Batten- berg offered the cup was that it should not leave the American navy, but if won by foreign crew that crew would be honored by him and their names be engraved on the cup with the date and records of the race.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK
 KING EDWARDS TRAIN
Axle Overheated PurposeIy, It Is Be- lieved, and Accident Is Mar
 roWly Averted.

Geneva, May 4.3The overheating of an axle on car of train on which King Edward was travelling to France is declared by newspapers here to have been probably an attempt to wreck the train. Before entering the Simplon tun- mel the train was stopped as a meas ure of precaution at Sion and 1t was found that grease box on one of the axles was missing. The train had been running at the rate of 100 kilometers an hour and the axle was white hot. If the train had gone few miles further the exles might have fused and the cars would then have been de- railed. It is said that the bolts and pins securing the box had been delib- erately removed. An inquiry was inn mediately begun.

MRS. ROOSEVELT HAS
 4 NARROW ESCAPE
YACHT SYLPH, ON WHICH SHE WAS ENTERTAINING A PARTY OF FRIENDS, CRASHES INTO A TUG-FLAoPoLE FALLS.

Washington, May 4.-Mrs. Roosevelt and a number of ladies who accompanied her aboard the yacht Sylph narrowly escaped a serious accident as the boat reached Washington yesterday, on it's re- turn from trip down the Potomac river Through some misunderstanding the boat went past her dock and crashed into a tugboat The shock was so severe that the hagpole of the Syiph fell to the deck with a crash narrowly missing Mrs. Roosevelt and those with her. among whom were Mrs. Clifford Richardson of New York and Mrs. Bacon, the wife of the assistant secretary of state. Happily some was hurt.
 Mrs Roosevelt was entertaining q party of friends aboard the yacht, having left the city at noon. For time following the accident there was considerable ex- citement aboard the yacht, but the ladies were assured there was no danger and the vessel was backed to her dock, where the party dsembarked without further adventure.
 Both yacht and tug boat were more or less damaged. The impression is that the engineer misunderstood an order to re- verse his engines as one to go forward, resulting in the collision. The racing launch of the sylph was badly damaged The fact that the yacht was not proceed ing at q rapid rate was regarded as for tunate as otherwise the damage would have been considerable. Capt. Roscoe C. Blumer. the captain of the Sylph was at the White House today but for what purpose it could not be ascertained
 Acting Secretary of the Navy New berry will receive a report from Captain Butler concerning tn accident and will then determine whether an investigation is necessary. It is MT Newberrys un- derstanding that the accident is one which could not be avoided, but he does not feel that he should discuss 1t in the ab- sence of full information. He does not expect to receive the report until Mon

WRECK NEAR SELMA FIVE ARE INJURED Southern Passenger Train Strikes Broken Rail COACHES TURNED OVER But for the AIertness of the Engineer the Accident Three Miles From
 Newborn Would Have
 Been Serious.
COACHES TURNED OVER

Selma, May 4-(Special)-A rail which had evidently been broken by a freight train that passed over it short while before, was the cause of serious wreck on the Akron branch of the Southern railway this morning about 10S0 O clock three miles east of Newborn.
 The train was in charge of Conductor R. T. Barber the oldest conductor on the road. Frank Tipton was engineer He saw the broken rail, about a foot of which was missing, just as the engine went upon it, and but for his coolness a horrible accident would be chroniced
 As 1t was five passengers were hurt and others badly shapen up, and the three cars of the train were turned over. Pas sengers aver that the cause of the broken rail Was that three of the crossties be- heath 1t were rotten. Those hurt were:
 R. II. Mangum, deputy solicitor for Dallas county, left side of face skinned, bad cut under ear and on forehead, shoul- der wrenched and other bruises H. B. Rotheim, New York, travelling man. cut in forehead and bruised; w. M. Fowlkes, ex-Mayor of Marion, hand skinned and bruised; lady, name unknown, cut on neck; Martha Jones. coored cut in fore head; George Ely, travelling passenger agent Southern Pacific railway, shocked and bruised and rendered insensible for several minutes. MT. Mangum, who was perhaps the worst injured; MT. Ely and Captain Barber were sitting in the smok- ing compartment of the second class car when the wreck occurred
 MT. Ely had newspaper in both hands, and the turning of the car threw his full force against Mir. Mangum, and both went over through the window on the side of the car turned over against an embank- ment. MT. Ely's shoulder broke out the window, and he was found lying half out of the car and entirely unconscious MT. Mangum's head went through the window and his face was dragged along the embankment.
 He expected any minute for his head to strike an obstruction and knock his brains out. Captain Barber felt the shock and braced himself and was unhurt He pulled MT. Ely out on the embankment, and thinking him dead, turned him over to MT Mangum, who had extricated him self. Captain Barber then went to look after the other passengers. He found M-. Rotheim. the only one injured in the first class car although there were seV- eral ladies' and at least five children.
 A relief train was sent from Selma to the wreck and the injured brought to Selma. where their wounds were dressed. But for the slow speed and the quick work of Engineer Tipton in shutting off his engine it is certain that there would have been many to have been killed.
