THE LEXINQTOH DISPATCH. Wednesday, January 24, 1906. i Body Disiaterred. / *. It is reported from Dtrlinglon that the family of the late Robert Keith ^ Darg&n, who committed suicide some month8 ago, has consented to his grave being opened so that the rumors prevailing that be is not dead may be qoited. Darlington, Jan 19 ?The body of lato T? ihprfc "Rjiiih DArvran was ?~ C -dhinterred here today in the presence of about 60 persons, including members of the clergy, physicians and other representative citizens from this and surrounding towns. The casket was opened at 10 30 o'clock tbiB morning after more than two hours' hard labor in breaking through the cement and bricks of tbe vault inclosing it, and it was foond to contain beyond question the body of Mr. Dargan. The body had necessarily undergone many changes since tbe burial six months ago, but it wee pronounced by all of those present who knew the man in life to be tbe body of Bobert Keith Dargan. All doubt on the part of those who were influenced by the unfounded bat persistent rumors that have been ||? circulated has been dispelled and the wild stories to the effect that Mr. Dargan was not dead and that a wax flgare had been buried while Mr. " Dargan had taken flight, have been shown beyond question to have been base and groundless sensationalism. [Deafness Cannot "be Cored. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ol the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infhmed condition of the mucons lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tcbe is inflamed yon have a rambling 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 one of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ,is nothing but au inflamed condition of the mucous surfaoes. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafoess (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall'c Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 18.?Following the deportation of the Cuban strike agitation last night, the Cuban Torcedores Cigar Makers' union weakened. They met today and by a unanimous vote decided to call the strike off. They will return to woik Monday. The long continuance of the strike bad wrought great injury to general business and the citizens' committee found it necessary to adopt strenuous methods to end it, hence the deportation of the agitators. The trouble is now over and all the factories will be running at full capacity in a few days. Chronic Constipation Cured.

The bathtub needed a coat of varnish. He promised to attend to it if she would order the varnish. "You'll find the varnish in the closet with the groceries, dear." she said a day or so later, "and the can opener in the knife drawer." He opened the can and, according to his contract, applied the coat of varnish and then left it to dry. The soup for dinner that day had to be abandoned, for somehow it possessed a peculiar paint shop odor that was nauseating. After dinner he took her to inspect his work on the bath- { tub. Now that it had dried it had a J fwtnin unnatural appearance. The top I and sides were streamed, and here and there little lumps clung to it. "The man said that was the best varnish," she explained, taking up the can of varnish for an examination. "But? "Why, dear, you have varnished the bathtub with the ox tail soup."

Traders throughout the empire were notified by telegraph of the boycott. As a result it is reported by exporters that trade between this country and China lias practically ceased. On June 18 meetings of students were held in Tientsin, attended by representatives of twenty-six Chinese colleges, at which it was decided to boycott American goods, to stimulate Chinese manufactures and to circulate anti-American literature. Fori inerly Chinese students were sent to this country in larje numbers to learn the ways and institutions of western civilization. Now they go to Europe instead. It is not the intention of the exclusion laws to bar students, merchants, professional men and others who do not belong to the laboring class, but it is claimed that existing PRANK P. SARGENT, COMMISSIONER GENERAL. OF IMMIGRATION. methods of executing the laws practically do this by subjecting Chinese who do not belong to the cooly class to what they consider indignities. Caste means much to the Chinaman, and when a merchant coming to America to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of our goods is held up at a port and put through an examination like that of a criminal it makes him rebellious. President Roosevelt was waited on recently by a delegation of merchants from the American Asiatic association, which represents the cotton textile and steel industries of the United States. Its members ciaim that the retention of the patronage of the Chinese is essential to the prosperity of these industries and that the exports to China in these lines of trade amounted during the past fiscal year to about $50,000,000. It is said that the anti-American agitation in China is due In part to the identification system adopted by our immigration authorities. A great many coolies got into this country under the guise of merchants and students and professional men. To prevent the continuance of this the department of immigration set about devising methods which should be effective in keeping out all Chinese except those whose admission was permissible under the laws. It was discovered that a ring existed which was growing rich from the profits of the business of helping coolies to cross the Canadian border PICTOKIAL. PHASES OF THE AMERICAN IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM. despite tiie provisions of the exclusion act. Coolies who never set foot in the T~ni+<v* wnt'P rrvwhPil to tPSt*fv that they were born in America or that they were registered laborers returning from visiting their native land or that they were srudents or merchants and thus privileged to enter the country. As a part of the business the ring supplied testimony to substantiate the false statements of the coolies. Each cooly paid $."300 to be transported from China and landed in the United States, and a good part of this sum went to pay for the perjured testimony, the services of the ring's interpreters and ! to form tiie profits of the business. The scheme devised by the com mis- I sioner general of immigration, Frank ! P. Sargent, broke up this game. He | secured a contract with the Canadian Pacific road by which all Chinese destined for the United States by way of the Dominion are brought through : Canada under guard and delivered to ! ! 1 the United States immigration autbori- i ties at four ports on the border.
