NAVAL officers are said to be holding
their breath for fear there will be an
investigation as a result of the discovery
that Commodore WinslOw, of the cruiser
Charleston, the Presidents friend, al
tempted to smuggle into the country at
San Diego, Cal, lot Of champagne,
choice cigars and curiOs supposed to have
been picked up in South America while
the cruiser was on its voyage with Sec
rotary Of State Root last year. Were an
investigation into this case held it is be-
lieved il would disclosea general practice
among naval officers, returning from
foreign stations, to bring into the country
duty free consignments of valuable dufle
such as Commodore WinslOw tried to
get in at the Southern California port.
There repreltY strong limitations that
naval officers believe they have right
TO do this because, as they claim, of the
smsllOess Of their pay and nature of their
duties, and there is some reason to believe
that the customs officers at certain ports
wink at the practice

The photographers.


New York, June 20. -Notwithstand-
ing the fact that secrecy has been main
tanned as to where the contemplated
strike OF the telegraphers will occur, 1t
was rumored that Pittsburg would prob
able be selected as the place 10 begin the
strike. Should the Smoky City not be
chosen it is likely that Kansas City will
be selected.
Efforts were made today to prevent the
strike. United States Labor Commits
sioner Neill mas been comforting with
the heads of the two companies in the
hope of a settlement. 1t was stated at
the union headquarters in this city today
that the strike order would be given IN
week unless The officials of the telegraph
companies come to terms.
With the operators ultimatum in their
hands, the officials of the companies are
saying nothing, but it is intimated they
are making every effort, to be ready to
carry on business should strike DE or
dered.
A later dispatch says an agreement has
been reached between the operators aud
the telegraph companies. There will
be no strike.

merely broken loose from the traiD, pro-
ceedes at full speed to the nearest station

them bleeding and bruised, were emery
ing from the mouth of the tunnel. The
cars were badly smashed up, aud there
was mach difficulty in rescuing some OF

The Suicide OF Miss Hawxhurst.

The body of Miss Mamie Hawxhurst,
who committed suicide Sunday by taking
corrosive sublimate, was buried yester-
day in the cemetery lot at Fairfax which
she selected herself some time ago. The
funeral ceremony was conducted in har-
mony with written instructions which
she gave before she took the poison.
Friends OF the dead woman are convinced
that she killed herself from dependency
caused by her inability to discover her
parentage. She was supposed to have
been engaged to a young merchant in
Fairfax but had declared she would
never marry until she had discovered the
facts relative to her birth. When she
vas a small child, twenty-five years
ago, che WAS adopted from a Pennsyl-
vsnia orphans home by Mr. and Mrs.
John Hawxhurst, but all efforts to dis
cover the name of her parents have been
10 vain. A lev days before the suicide,
Miss Hawxhurst consulted a druggist
about poison,. ginning the information
which she Dlt to use later by taking cor
rosive sutlimate. She made the mis-
take, however, Of mixing the poison with
water and did not achieve the quick
death she had planned.

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, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inAamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inAamed you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect 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 destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh Cure.

EVENING. JUNE 20, 1907.
CnNGREssMAN CARLIN.

The democrats of the Eighth district
of Virginia yesterday selected Mr.. @. q.
Carliu, of alexandria, as their nominee
for Congress. The canvass had probably
been the most active that has been con-
Quoted in this district during the past
half century. The gentlemen who have
posed as candidates for the position have
visited practically every precinct In the
district and worked in season and out OF
season in presenting their claims TO suf-
frspans. There was, however, no issue
to cause unseemly wrsngles, and, 80 lar
as is known, the canvass has been con-
Quoted decently and in order. While
the AIexandrian has been declared the
choice of the party, the action OF the
Voters is no reflection upon the two
worthy gentlemen who will be COM
PEELED to wait with patience their time.
The district would doubtless have
been equally safe with Judge Nicol
or Mr.Gordon as its representative.
while there is no dJubt that Mr.. Car
lin will devote his entire time and
energy to the service of the people
of his district and State. The cartoon
nublished in the Gazette and other news
papers few weeks ago proved prophet
ical. The platoon at the start vas COM
posed of five candidates. They kept In
line until Mr.. Hooe Jagged aud finally
dropped in the road, leaving the qua
ternion headed toward the goal. At the
eleventh hour, there was another I'M
expected collapse when Mr.. Ryan re-
Taxed his gait and finally fell out OF line,
leaving Messrs. Carlip, Gordon and
Nicol on the track. The latter was seen
to flag later, when CaIln and Gordon,
with the goal before them, pressed on
side by side. Sometimes one and then
the other was ahead or nose In the
lead, with the result uncertain almost to
the finish. The Alexsndrian, however,
was displaying remarkable vitality, and
while q cloud of witnesses with baited
breath anxiously awaited the close, Mr..
Clrlin, as the cartoon portrayed him,
landed on the steps of the Capitol but a
short distance ahead of Mr.. Gordon.
The victor, while receiving The congraIu-
lations of his many friends and support
ers, will also be the recipient of the right
hand OF fellowship from the unsuccessful
candidates and their democratic conferes
all over the district People throughout
Virginia are thoroughly familiar by this
time with Mr.. Carlin's biography, as il
has been published in every paper in the
district hence there is no need to repre-
duce it at this time. About all that can
be said is that he has honestly won his
spurs. He began life at the bottom rung
of the ladder, and with his in born
genius and industry has forged ahead,
gaining popularity until he became a
formidable political factor in his district
and State. Alexandra is Justly proud of
him, and The district and State he will
represent in the councils of the nation
will have equal cause to be.

Athens, June 2O.-The members Of

suffering from the shock caused last night
when an unknown man threw a bomb
from the gallery while the chamber was

later restored, however, and the session
resumed, but there was considerable nerv'
business among the deputies. The throw
