two stoves collapsed. Instantly women
began to Shrek and there was a mad
rush for the doors.
The Rev Adam Stump and the Rev.

futile. At least a score of persons
were hurt by jumping from windows.

bodies

frenzied justice. How much of what
actually exists today did he foresee
Perhaps, If he were living here today,
he would say I told you So
The Intelligent patriots who formed
our constitution and the people who
adopted it must have understood and
employed words in their natural sense
and to have intended what was said
and through all the written constitu-
ton speaks the same thing. True. it
is not a criminal code
1T is not to be read in favor Of any
body but is an instrument whose clear
words have the force of vital and
solemn truth entered into between all
the people. binding on the majority as
we'll as the minority. and securing the
stability and order essential to the
permanent prosperity Of every nation
and without which popular government
can never hope to last"
President Must Rule.
Justice Brewer said that the high ex-
eeutives in America, from president to
governors, We're more rulers than thew
were servants of the people, and right
" so under the constitution.
But the president must rule" he
said. in accordance with constitutional
provisions"
He may be impulsive, enthusiastic
strenuous, exhibiting a dramatic and
spectacular life. and he may be calm
and selfpoised in administration.
The president is the chief magis-
trate Of this nation. Not for his glory
but for our good; indeed, his greatest
glory is in accomplishing the most for
our welfare and in the abundance OF
the business and prosperity he brings
to the people. rather than in the
splendor of his surroundings. or even
in the number and magnifcence of his
tronclads."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbI-
ing sound or imperfect 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 inflamed condition of

MOBILE IS IN TURMOIL.
Secessionists in Seaport City
Say Without Teddy
There is no Democracy

Mobile, Ala, Nov 20.-Nine- tenths
Of the people OF Mobile are against
prohibition and the passage Of the Car
michael statutory prohibition bill has
caused open threats of secession from
the state and the declaration that the
law will not be observed in this cos
mopolitan town, that has been wet
since 1t was discovered by the French,
centuries ago"
If an election were held a month
from now the entire country would
sweep into the republican column by
a big majority" said an officeholder
today-a citizen honored by the demo-
cratic party, but grown sick over the
action OF the democratic legislature in
falling to stand up to its platform on
local self-government.
No Liquor, No Democracy.
I heard Governor Conner make two
speeches in Mobile" the speaker con
tinued. IN both Of these he declared
that he had been charged with being
a prohibitionist, but that such was not
the case. He said that should Mobile
want whisky, he would be in favor
Of letting Mobile have its teddy. Now
we have the Conner Legislature in spe-
ciaI session fastening upon Mobile what
everybody knows Mobile does not
want"
This is merely a sample of many such
declarations. 1t is recognized that any
good party" man has ten days with
in which to register his kicks" after
defeat but the men who are protest
ing most strongly in Mobile say they
are out of the democratic party ranks
so long as that party has prohibition
for its platform.
Secession Threat Serious.
NJ. J. McDermott's telegram to Sena-
tor Hamburger threatening secession
by Mobile if prohibition carried in the
senate yesterday has caused a great
deal of comment. The sender is presi-
dent of one of the leading banks in
the state. Although some here decline
to take seriously the statements made
in the telegram, it cannot be disputed
that it expresses the feeling, accord
ing to Mr.. McDermott, of some of the
most conservative business men of Mo-
bile.
4 sent the telegram in good faith,
said Mr.. McDermott 1t expresses my
sentiments and I firmly believe that
there are many business men of the
city who feel the same way, and view
the action of the state legislature as
I do.
