St. Patrick's Church, HOllan-
dale.

The Review: The work on the new
ST. Patrick's Catholic church is pro
crossing rapidly, notwithstanding the
intensely hot weather prevailing. The
walls are up nearly to the top of the
windows and although nothing but
kiln run brick are used present a
handsome and substantial appearance,
indicating that the brick layers thor
oughly understand their business.
When completed it will be handsome,
modern, substantial church building,
and will be credit to the congrega
ton and the energy and zeal of the
pastor, Father Barrp, who has worked
increasingly since the destruction of the
old building, to see it replaced with a
modern structure.

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 constitu-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
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 its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by cataTh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

BRIBERY IN RUSSIA.
An Incident of the Reign of the Gear.
Liberator."

An old and long retired Russian gen.
eral, a man of the "old school," relat-
ed the following story in illustration
of the official bribery that prevails in
Russia, the incident being one within
his own personal knowledge:
During the reign of Alexander II,
the "czar-liberator," the widow of a
distinguished general endeavored to
obtain an appointment In a certain
ministry for her only son, q young
man of superior education and intelli-
gence. The minister promised the
widow to reserve the first occurring
vacancy In his department. She wait
ed in vain for the fulfillment of the
promise and twice repeated her appeal
by letter She learned, too, that in the
meantime several vacancies had been
filed by other candidates.
The widow then waited upon the en-
peror and told mis- majesty of the min
listers broken promises and her own
keen disappointment and after a few
moments consideration the car asked
her if she had inclosed a gift of money
to the minister with her written ap-
plication.
"Why, certainly not, your majesty.
I should not dare put such an affront
upon his excelIency."
do not trouble yourself about the
affront, madame" replied the car,
"but renew your proshenie to the min
lister and inclose Fl 900 to him."
"But | have no such sum of money,
your majesty" said the widow dole
fully
ooh, as to that, I will lend you the
money, and the minister will no doubt
repay me, and you will inform me,
please, of the result Of your renewed
application with the inclosure"
The widow sent her son to the min
lister with the $1,000 lent by the car
inclOsed with a politely written note,
the result being that the young man
received the desired appointment the
same day.
About a week later the minister had
just concluded his customary official
report to the ear when his majesty
observed, "By the way, there is a very
intelligent and promising young man,
the son of the late General -, for
whom you can perhaps find a fairly
prospective position in your depart
ment."
But, your majesty" said the min
lister, that young man is already in
my department. and should say that
he is likely to make a career for him
self"
Tell me, please" quietly asked the
ear, chow much did this youths
mother pay you for the appointments"
The minister was too willy and tact
full outwardly to manifest his surprise
and chagrin, and he knew, too, that
his safety demanded a perfectly can
did reply to his sovereign.
would your majesty be Interested"
he said, "to hear what [ myself paid
for the influence which procured my
portfolio from your gracious hands?
The total sum was E22, 500, and, rela-
lively speaking, | do not think, with
all humility, that this lady has paid
at all dearly for the prospects of her
SON."
The minister repaid to the cZar the
FL 900 and was not unkindly dismissed
from the audience, and he also re-
tanned his portfolio-Odessa Cor Lon

A Tribute to Father O'Brien.

Editor H. E. Howe of the Highland
Press has the following true and kind
words to say of the late Father O'Brien:
During the last fourteen years the
writer has known Father O'Brien quite
intimately and as a man we found him
always jolly, approachable and sincere.
Large hearted and generous, he was a
true friend in time of need to people
outside of his own church as well as
members thereof, which in measure
showed his spirit of broadness and
sincere regard for his fellow man If
respective of belief. We can speak of
him with all the people knowing him,
only to reverence his good name and
charitable deeds, and his over forty
years in the priesthood gained for him
a circle of friends and acquaintance. "
