Deafness Cannt he 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-
sional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il 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 oil
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness {caused BY catarrh) that can.
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Last Sunday was the biggest Easter
Atlantic City ever had. The board
walk was filled with fashionable
throng from morning till night and
the town was wide open all day. The
Governors of several States, U. S.
Senators, Congressman, and Senators
and Assemblymen of our own State
were there, but Governor Fort was abb
sent. Here is the way several report
ers described the town:
Everything was wide Open" says
one reporter. There was not a
thing in sight or hearing to give an
inkling of such thing as a Bishops
law" declares another. "The various
big cafes were stations of rest, and
long lines of rolling chairs waited in
front of most of the places while their
occupants refreshed the inner man
with booze" is the statement Of still
another. "Bibulous visitors stood
three deep in the favorite barrooms," /"
is the way fourth one puts it.

We are in no position to dispute
Gov Forts conclusion that Senator
Gaunt's Trolley Freight bill as passed
was bad legislation for the State; it
may be that Pubic Service lawyers
aided in framing it, and in so doing
they took too good care of the Public
Services interests, butSenator Gaunt's
efforts in the enactment of the law
are open to no such imputation, any
more than are the farmers from this
and other counties who voluntarily
went to Trenton and urged its passage
and sought to gain the Governors ap-
prova1 Of the bill before and after its
passage.
This is one of the places where the
interests of the rural communities and
the cities clash, and we sincerely hope
ground may be found where all can
stand, and still preserve their own.

When it is considered that the con-
tinuity of the city's water supply is
dependent on the stability of one line

city of the reservoir is twentyfour
hours supply during months when
consumption is smallest, people will
conclude that we are going along

lives Recently he rescued b. w.
Bliss. passenger agent of the Louis

zens, the mayor making the presenta-
zion speech. Mr.. Bliss paid the fun

with three others in the river on
March 10, his last effort being to aid
fhe others. He was nearly rescued
when & log struck him and knocked
him under. Since then scores OF
white people searched the river TOT
