The Historic City Of Delhi.

Delhi is the most historic city in all
India. IL may NOT be the Oldest. al
though it lays claim TO a respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 Il. {. At
that time the master Of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
emperors, at least OF India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi,
without the walls. is city Of pictur-
esque ruins. Imperial Delhi, the mod
ern city, was created by Shah Jehan, a
contemporary OF Queen Elizabeth.
From the date of the first Moham-
medan incursion, A. ID. 715, perpetual
warfare ragged round Delhi until at
length she yielded TO the irresistible
power Of the Moguls. The city was al
ternately Mohammedan and Hindu
during great many years and finally,
In 1903 was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
mosque In India. 1t took 5000 men six
years to build it. The noble tomb OF
the Emperor Humayan marks the
change of creed which. followed the
Moslem invasion, while the observa-
tory of Jai Singh and the deserted hall
Of the seventy columns recall the short
triumph OF Brahmanism.

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 re-
NEEDLES. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
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 inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

been here less than four years, he
has shown himself as one of those
men worth while.
Mr., Kelly is from Middletown-
educated in the Public Schools of
that town and our State College. At
ter leaving college, he went in the
Peoples National Bank at Middle
town. Later he was in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He
came to Newark nearly four years

MIR. J. w. PARRISH

One of the most respected business
men of Newark is Mr.. Parrish, the
jeweller. He has conducted his pres
ent establishment for the past twenty
two years and to speak of his ability
would be merely repetition of well
known facts, Repairing is one of his
strong points and every watch which
leaves his store adds another testimony
of his skillfuI workmanship.
Mr.. Parrish frequently receives
watches from as far as California to be
repaired. so wide is his reputation for
this class of work.
His line of clocks, watches and nov
elites is well selected and of well known
manufacture and his prices are such
that it renders trip to the city for
these goods sheer waste of time and
money.
Mr.. Parrish has been here long
enough to be known and trusted by
all. Every movement seeking the
good of the town receives his hearty
support.
