value in her home.
The woman was forty years old and
strikingly handsome. She was active
in society and in philanthropic work.
Four years ago she was divorced from
DR.. Perry F. Shaffer, scion Of one OF
the Oldest families in the community.
Recently she was made defendant In
a $4,000 suit filed by Mrs. Helen
Bailey, who accused her Of alternating
the affections of Albert Bailey.
DR.. H. S. Kimmell, coroner of Som
erset county, was called by telephone
and told to go to the home Of Mrs
Shaffer. When he arrived he could
get no response from inside. Edward
Horner, whose property adjoins thai
of Mrs Shaffer, said he had heard q
woman screaming in the Shaffer home
after midnight. AS he was not on the
best terms with his neighbor, he hest

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to Its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca

Politicians profess to see in the
markable announcement of the chipl
factory inspector an effort on his part
to strengthen his position in HARRIS
burg, where he must eventually meht
the charges of child labor associations,
the Central Labor Union, the State
Federation of Labor and the Consu4n-
ers' League, that he has not taken
cognizance of numerous infractions 1f
the state factory laws. Delaney's term
expires in May. His position carries
with it a salary of $4,000 year.
Former Governor Pennypacker is
very anxious that Delaney should turn
over the confession to the attorney
general, but there is considerable
doubt in the minds of lawyers that he
can be made to do so. Even If the
statute of limitations has expired, II
any politicians are connected with the
capitol scandal they can be driven
from public life by the publicity given
them.
Delaney does not propose to willing
ly part with this dynamite-laden docu-
ment.
"No man will ever know its entire
contents while I have anything to do
with it." he said, cor unless Mrs. San
derson would desire it's publication.
Even then 1 am not sure that would
let it out Of my possession. All that
will say Is that the big men who were
guilty escaped"
"Will you make it public II you
leave the hill?" he was asked.
IT don't expect to leave the hill"
But suppose you do?"
II would not give it out"
It was reported in Harrisburg that
Tener would ask for Delaney's resig.
nation, but the governor declined to
state what action he might contemI

spector. His advice to Delaney is I'd
give the paper up.

Tamaqua, Pa. Jan. 2.-Despite the
most persistent efforts On the part of
small army OF rescuers, the nine
men entombed in the East Lehigh
mine are still prisoners.
There is little hope of reaching them
alive, SO heavy was the rush of culm
and rock which followed the breaking
through of large body of water from
an old working.
The debris Is being shOveled into
cars of two-ton capacity, ans as soon
as one is filled, which requires about
fifteen minutes time, this gang Of men
is relieved and fresh volunteers are

at the foot of the shaft and the wants
Of the workers receive prompt atten-
ton.
Hundreds of tons of muck have al
ready been removed, and although the
mass is practically solid one, thus
far blasting has been avoided. Should
this prove necessary 1t would havs e
tendency to cause additional gas and
rush which would endanger those
engaged in the rescue work.
Thus far the rescue work has pro
gressed to breast 81, which is about
fifty feet from breast 38, through
which the water is supposed to have
forced. its way. Nearly five feet an
hour is the progress made, and If the
debris has not been forced backward
there is reason to believe that the i'm
prisoned men may be reached soon. 81
Whether any of those imprisoned
will be rescued alive is a question:
doubted by men who have followed
mining for years and who know the1

According to officials, distinct rap
