Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion 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
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t 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 the
mucous surfaces. 5ru- .u--..l 100.

Bridgeport, Conn, April 30.-Start-
ling revelations regarding the hazine
on Lorraine Clark by members OF the
Alpha Society of the Bridgeport High
School were made by the Investigatin
Committee after a session which last
ed until 2 o'clock this morning 5eo'
Indignitieso and cruelties OF an ex-
tr,aordinary nature, the COMMITTEES
found we're inflicted upon the girl
who is daughter of Fayette, c. Clark
a member of the lower house of the
Connecticut General Assembly. s6au
Here are a few OF the tortures
Miss Clark was made to endure, as
testified to by the girls who were
summoned to appear before the Board
of Education: .hflkH
They forced her to eat some 3-inch
pipes of macaroni after it had been
boiled in soap for half an hour. While
partaking of the nauseating mixture
the members of the society danced
about her and told her she was eating
angle worms.
, Three raw oysters were placed be-
fore her, and when she ate them
she was told she had swallowed polly
wogs.
A cocktail made of molasses vine
gar, salt, pepper and, white of egg
was her next portion, and this was
followed by eoneoction of milk and
sugar, which she was made to drink
from a nursing bottle. -1etn. .eE
Sealing wax melted by candle was
allowed to drip on the arm of the vic
timand this constituted her brand
ing" .la
"A red-hota poker was held before
the gaze of the victim. Then, blind
folded, cube of ice was pressed
against her bare shoulders, while the
hot poker was plunged into a piece
of raw meat, the odor of burning flesh
adding TO her fortunes. 81 .or-E7
The parents of Miss Clark testified
that their daughter was a nervous
wreck and that she was now confined
in a sanitarium in BattleboIo, VT.
They produced certificates from the
attending physicians to show that
she is on the verge of complete pros
tratiou. Several physicians testified
that it would require three years at
least before her nervous system could
be restored to it's normal shape. b.
, Daughters of the leading families of
Bridgeport are concerned in the haz-
ing and the hearing created a sensa-
ton d.. .vs.
Miss Ethel Ravens, daughter of Col.
Elmer H. Hayens of Gov. Weeks staff
was the first witness and many of
the revelations were made by her
When the investigating committee
retired into executive session late
last night Col. Ravens, who is a mem
Der of the Board of Education, was
excused, as his daughter is concerned
