Nv HEN Henry VIII divorced his
M first wife, Catherine OF Ara
~ gon, he had already made COM
plete arrangements to wed Lady anne
Boleyn, whom he had created Countess
of Pembroke. This marriage was cele-
brated on the 23d of January, 1888. She
first bore him a daughter, who was named
Elizabeth, and who in process of time
became Queen of England, and iii Jan
uary, 1885, son was born to the royal
pair which did not live. This is thought
to have made an ill impression On the
King. At any rate, his love for his
Queen assumed a remarkable coolness
after this incident.
Anne Boleyn had been Henry's wife for
three years, but at this time he enter
tanned a secret affection for the Lady
Jane Seymour. The Queen perceiving
the alienation of the Kings heart from
her, used all her arts to recover II,
though without success.
The Kings ardor having cooled. he
found opportunities on all sides to dis
cover incidents in the actions of the
Queen which he could use against her,
and in this he was aided by persons about
the court who were at odds with Anne.
The many stories that were carried 10 the
King finally led him to charge her with
various offenses and she was finally sent
to the Tower, ..,s. a,.ts.o osada
Several lords who accompanied her to
the Tower by water declared to her what
her crimes were, but she made deep pro-
testations of her innocence, and begged
leave to see the King. This was re-
fused. The Duke of Norfolk and some
others of the privy council went and
examined her in the Tower, out were
able to get nothing out of her.
On May Is, 1886, Sir William Kingston,
lieutenant of the Tower, broughe forth
the Queen and her brother, the Lord
Rockford, to be tried by their peers.
There was a scaffold erected for this pur-
pose In the Kings hall within the fewer.
There were 26 peers appointed to try the
Queen, besides the Lord High Steward of
England, Thomas, Duke of Norfolll.
Before these noble lords the Queen was
indicted of high treason. The crimes
laid to her charge were: THAT she had
procured her brother, and the other four,
to be with her, which they had often
DONE" THAT she had said to them that

June and August, respectively, these
towns will clean up by driving back the

Jersey Osteopath Finds
New Treatment to Cure
Many Cases of Deafness

The latest discovery of science for
the relief of deafness caused by
chronic catarrh or catarrhal troubles
was demonstrated at the Young
Women's Christian Association head
quarters. Saturday night, by DR.. D.
Webb Cranberry, of East Orange.
The demonstration was made before
the members of the New Jersey Os-
teopathic Society, who were in con-
vention there. A clinic was held and
three of the four cases tried showed
favorable results. The new treatment
was discovered by DR.. James D. Ed
wards, of st. Louis.
The treatment proceeds on the
theory that many cases of deafness
result from the tube between the
threat and ears becomes clogged and
drawn out of place by catarrh of the
mucuous membrane lining it. This
tube, which is an inch and one-half
long and shaped like an hour-glass,
then fails of its purpose of drain
ing the ear-drum. The clogging of
the ear-drum follows. so that air Is
excluded Air is necessary inside the
ear drum in order that the vibrations
of sound striking on 1t shall be trans
formed into hearing.
The method pursued by Dr. Gran
berry was to operate from the back of
the patients throat. After examining
and spraying the ear. nose and
throat. he moistened his finger in q
solution of iodine and glycerine and
inserted the tip of that finger in the
tube at the back of the throat. With
this finger he explored the eustachian
tube. freeing the LESSONS.
In three of the cases drainage of
the tube followed. air entered the ear
drum and improved hearing resulted.
In the fourth case, a man. the ear
drum was found to be entirely gone
and the application of the treatment
impossible. The three women all said
they were benefited by the treat
ment.
In cases where the eustachian tube
is closed. wholly or partly by ca
tarrhal causes, the treatment is said
to be 95 per cent. efficient.
The hall was filled with osteopaths
and other professional men and wom-
en- and much interest was manifested.
DR.. Cranberry had to answer many
questions of a technical nature.
