and when fortified proceeded.
"Monsieur, l have met on several oc.

Cleaning Ebony Brushes.

When you clean the ebony brushes
on your toilet table rub petroleum jelly
over the backs before you wash the
bristles. AS this prevents the soda or
ammonia in the water from injuring
the ebony. The jelly should after

back with a dry cloth.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
diton Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this ube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

likely that the premature announcement
Of the British governments intention 10
transfer Sir Lionel Garden from his post
as Minister to Mexico 10 the British Le-
cation In Rio de Janeiro will not be car
ried out. and that Sir Lionel will remain
in Mexico City.

received at the State Department from
Ambassador Page. in London, VINO mas
also reported that he had heard or the
Foreign Offices intention of shifting Car
den to South America. That the British
government intended making the change
Ia considered beyond doubt, but. as pre-
dcted by some officials yesterday. the
news came out too soon, and no" the
Foreign ONCE may decline to take action
humiliating TO Sir Lionel.
The fact that adviccs had been received
at the State Department from the Ameri-
can Embassy in London became pubic
this morning by accident, and high or
fcials were greatly perturbed that any
thing concerning the incident should be-
come public on authority Of the state De-
partment 1t was their desire TO Keep en-
tirely clear Of the matter and on the part
Of the heads Of the department there was
steadfast determination TO make no
comment on the change decided upon by
the Foreign Office.

OF DONALD M'LEAN
Effect Settlement with Mrs
Amalia Huber, Who Demand
ed $4,000 of LAWYER.

Several friends of Donald Mclean, Il
lawyer and at one time Appraiser OF
the Port of New York, whose wife was
formerly president-general OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, have come To his aid and settled
for him with Mrs. Amalia Huber, of
No. 4l10 Carpenter avenue, The Bronx
Mrs. Huber demanded in the Surro-
gates court that Mr. Mclean turn
over the money he held as executor of
the estate Of the petitioners husband.
She claimed $4,000. Mclean, in an
accounting filed last July on the de-
mand OF Mrs. Huber. fixed this amount
at S1O,443. The friends OF Mr. Nc
half of the amount the lawyer admitted
he still held of the estate. With this
settlement the law firm OF Niebrugge
& Maxfield, who represented Mrs
Huber, have discontinued the proceed
ing In the Surrogates' court. Mr.. Nc
Lean has been III for some time, and
recently was in the South. His physi-
clan said he was threatened with
paralysis.
The order TO Mr.. Mclean asking him
10 show cause why he should not pay
over the money OF the Hui n estate
was issued on November :. Argument
on the application was adjourned be-
cause OF the inability OF the respondent
to appear in court.
