town! This paper started the fight for general sale
OF car tickets, and aroused public sentiment until the
car combine had to put It's tickets sale with every
conductor. Alone this measure will save street car
patrons 5000, 600 each year.
The Star fought alone for the municipal lighting
plant; with the aroused voters IL secured IT, and them

continued their "heckling" Of yes
terday. Carnegie was alert and
chIpper, and apparently enjoyed
the clash Of wits with the congress
men who sought to drag admissions
from the canny Scot.
Today's examination OF Carnegie
opened the inquiries into the
growth Of the Carnegie Steel com
pany from $3.50. 900 900 in 1897 TO
$420. 900. 900 In 1900. The members
OF the committee attempted to get
Carnegie to admit that such a
growth In his business was far
from reasonable.
Cornered after battle of wits
with members of the committee,
Carnegie admitted that the steel
trust dominate sthat industry. He
resorted to jests and anecdotes In
an effort TO avoid answering. but
finally Congressman Gardner began
an attack which caused the iron
master to give up"
Responding to a question by Con-

that he beIieved'.the day Of compe.

Asked how this condition could
be remedied. Carnegie said that the
government should fix the maxi

The Death Chair.

It is hardly possible that the electric
chair at the penitentiary will be com.
pleted in time for the first electrocu-
tions, that of Isaiah Butler and John
Cole, the two Charleston negroes un-
der sentence to die in the electric
chair on June 81. Hyde, who killed
his wife and her father, is sentenced
to die on July 5. A negro from Wal
halla is sentenced to die on July 5, and
one from Anderson on July IL.
If the chair is not completed in time
for the clectrocution, and there is lit
tie doubt that it will be completed by
June 81, the governor will likely be
asked to grant the condemned men re .
prieves until such time as the chair
can be installed, which may be early
in July. The board of the penitentia-
ry meets today, at which time some
definite statement may be made as to
when the electric chair and the death
chamber will be completed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, az 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 infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con
d1tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by Ca
tarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
