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 constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube When this tube is in famed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Easily Imauined,

Imagine. if you please, time when
every family can have it's own flying
machine means of getting out for
a day with as much safety as now at
tends the automobile or the old fami-
ly horse. Wouldn't such a thing add a
value to the world? Would it not en-
hance the pleasure of living to be able
to take the wife and babies out for a
spin in the sky, where the air is pure,
where all of the earth is spread out
before one, even as # is spread before
the eye of the eagle? Would it not add
to the sum total of human happiness
to take to the clouds as do the birds
and to have to consider neither the
beaten highways nor the rocky bar
riers of the mountain ranges? Ger
tainly it would. And just as certainly
such a time is rapidly dawn;ng or the

NICEnES OF LEGAL TENDER
somewhat Perpiexina Question Which
Very Few Seem to Properly
Understand.

One of the prominent officials of the
treasury department recently ven
tured the opinion that not one banker
in a hundred and probably not half
a dozen members of the senate or
house could tell accurately what parts
of the United States currency are le-
gal tender He went on to say:
"a great many people know that
the definition of legal tender is money
of a character which by law a debtor
may require his creditor to receive in
payment in the absence of a special
agreement. But when it comes to
stating just what money is legal ten
der you will find the banker all at sea-
Gold certificates are not a legal
tender, but are receivable for customs,
taxes and all public debts. Silver Ger
tif1cates are not legal tender. Neither
are national bank notes. They are re-
ceiVable, however, i'll payment Of
taxes, excises, public lands and ali
other dues to the United States, ex-
cept duties on imports. Trade dollars
and fractional currency are not legal
tender. Fractional currency is re-
receivable for postage and revenue
stamps and also in payment of any
dues to the United States less than
five dollars, except duties on imports
Foreign gold and silver coins are not
legal tender.
"The following are legal tender in
all that the term means:
Gold coins of the United States,
standard silver dollars, subsidiary sill
yer coins, minor coin of copper,
bronze or copper-nickel, up to 25
cents; United States notes or green
backs. demand treasury notes, treas
uTy notes of 1890. Columbian half
dollar ard Columbian quarters. Sub
sidiary silver coin, including Colum-
bian half dollars and quarters, are
legal tender up to $40"

CASE CALLED FOR SYMPATHY
Appeal to 5atteFed-Up Mar
ried Woman.

Apropos the discussion Of the ad-
vantages of married life recalls the
experience of certain bachelor maid
of some forty summers and some win
ters. She has had proposals enough,
80 she says, but she prefers single
blessedness to pouring coffee, mend
ing socks and spanking babies. She
recently began devoting much of her
time to working in the slums. partic-
ularIy among the women and chill
dren.
A pitiful case was recently brought
to her attention to care for. A wom-
an had been cruelty treated by her
husband, who, as q final act, locked
her out in the street The poor, suf-
feTing creature, ragged and dishev-
eled, reported at the charity head
quarters and begged for shelter.
Miss J. dressed her wounds,
gave her something to eat and then
started a sympathetic conversation
with the sufferer. The latter, after
recounting at much length the in
juries she had borne at the hands of
her liege, lord and master, asked a
few questions to satisfy her womanly
curiosity about her new-found friend.
Live here?" she inquired of Miss
j
NO." was the reply; II spend only
a part of my time here during the
day. My home is way up In Harlem" !"
You're married, amt your" was
the next question.
No, I'm not married; and l may
never be-"
The poor, wTetched woman opened
her bruised and swollen eyes as best
she could to get look at her friend,
gazing at her in amazement.
My, my" she said, sympathetical-
ly. I'm awfully sorry. Say, but amt
it fierce to be an old maid ?"-New

French Forest-Makinq.

A striking example of scientific for
estry is furnished by the coast Of
France, chiefly in GRscony, where in
1898 tree-planting was begun in an at
tempt to fix the sand dunes, which the
winds were steadily pushing inland
over the vineyards Pine forests have
now covered 275,0O6 of the 100000
acres of dunes. About 100000 has
been spent on the work, with 100000
more for forest administration, but
the state has received $4,000 more
than the cost, while the 125,000 acres
still retained have a value Of 100000
O0O Farther inland, about 100000
acres of worthless shifting sands and
marshes, in the triangular area of the
Landes, have been converted into
profitable pine forests since the mid
die of last century. This work, most
ly done by the communes, has created
a property worth s100,000,000, as val
ued from the present yield of pine
timber and resin.

JUDGE KIMBAIL

The Bee will admit that Judge
Kimball is severe, but is he vi
cious? Does he not treat black
and white alike?
1t is also true that The Bee has
been opposed to Judge Kimball
and made every effort to defeat
his reappOintment several years
ago, but, since then The Bee has
learned to respect him, because
he knows no man by the color of
his skin or the curl of his hair.
AT the time The Bee opposed
Judge Kimball's reappointment,
many of the persons who are op-
posing him today supported him
then. He is the self-same Judge
Kimball. He has not changed
one iota. 1t may be true that he
doesn't sue defendants. as MANY
of those who practice before him
do. The question is what charge
can you make against him? He
has certainly. demonstrated his
honesty.
Members of the bar should not
oppose him simply to satisfy the
ambition of a few others who
may be applicants for his job.
Now, if it is the intention of
the President to appoint some
one else in his place, it will be
time enough for The Bee to sug-
gest to President Taft his success
sor, but before it does so, The
Bee will ascertain from the Pres
ident whether it is his intention
to appoint his successor.

A millionaire Before He Was 21.

The arch prospector of all times
was Cecil Rhodes. For him it was
not merely going out and putting down
holes in likely places. At II he had
been touched with tuberculosis and
ordered south. Arriving at his brother
Herbert's cotton plantation in Africa
in the midst of the second diamond
excitement, he, with Herbert, was
drawn into the new rush" They
took claim at Colesburg-at 30 shil-
lings a month rental. In a few weeks
each leased a full claim, all the law
allowed Cecil Rhodes set himself to
get the law to allow one man TO own
two claims, then ten, and then as
many as he could lay hold of. So
well did Rhodes keep pace with
changing regulations that he returned
to England at 19 millionaire!-

MEMORIAL BUILDING


What has been needed in this
city for a great number of years,
and which is about to materialize,
is a theatre owned and controll-
ed by the Negroes.
The Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Company, whose capital is to
be 100000 and whose advertise
ment, with cut of the building ap-
pears on the sixth page, will no
doubt be a monument to this
city.
The readers of The Bee are di-
rected to this great Negro propo-
sition. 1t is the intention of the
directors of this new enterprise
whose photographs also appear
on the front page of The Bee, to
give the people of this city some
thing they have never had. This
great building will contain a
large theatre, auditorium, office
rooms, etc. If you want a great
money making enterprise, The
Bee advises the immediate pur-
chase of stock.
The men at the head of this
new enterprise are above re-
proach. The people of Washing
ton have been made the servants
of a common class. The better
to do and the more refined and
educated among the white people
have no objections to the better
class of colored people. The off
GERS and directors of the Lin
coin Memorial Company should
receive the support of the people,
because they are building an en-
terprise worthy of consideration.
1t will be a lasting monument to
the Negro in the Capital of the
Nation.
The readers of The Bee should
carefully read the prospectus on
the sixth page of this weeks Bee,
Every director is a man of the
highest type, and beyond all
doubt they are honest and can be
trusted with the funds of the
people.

HOW DID THE PARROT KNOW?
Hard to Explain, But Polly Certainly
Had Premonition of the Com
Ing Earthquake.

Beyond his habit of living to be
100 to $50 years old, the parrot is
truly remarkable bird in other ways"
said Mr. E. N. Daniels of the City of
Mexico.
What makes me give utterance to
this opinion is a trick that a bird
which belongs to my young son exc
cuted the night of the late earthquake
that shook US up so severely in Mex,
leo. Fully five minutes before the
first shock, which came a little after
four o'clock in the morning, Poll set
up a terrific uproar that eliminated

the discordant racket which broke
into the slumbers of the family and
felt like numbering the miserable erea-
ture, especially as there was no cessa-
ton of it's vocal exercise.
While 1t was still coming in for my
denunciations the tremor of the earth
occurred, and in a second it flashed
across my mind that Polly had given
us warning in the only way it knew
how to reach US. 1t may not seem
reasonable that the bird should be
able to sense a convuIsion of nature
in advance of its coming, but the
facts are as 1 have stated, and after

There is no reason that some

ing the manner in which some
colored people enter and sit in
street cars. To some extent, the
writer is correct, and if one
would throw out a few practical
suggestions to the pupils, no
doubt they may reach this class
of parents. There is no reason
for a person to enter a street car
and sit all over the seat or to sit
himself down between two per-
sons when there is only room
enough for baby.
The Bee respects the laboring
man and holds him in high es-
TEEN, Dut there IS no necessity
for a man right out of a ditch or
sewer to march himself up front
and take a seat. He should have
some regard for the feelings OF
others.

I'll tell you" said Smith; but it's
a hard matter to clearly define. You
naturally, being a workingman, think
money better than anything else?"
Jones assented.
You likewise know that money
