There is only one waf to cure deafneee. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ofthe mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is innaraea you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tnbe restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Three times in the history of this country has an assassin attacked it? chief officer. In the first two instances the murderer succeeded in compassing the death of his victim. In the third in stance the Prisident has been seriously wounded and his life now tremlieles in the balance. The first asssassin was an American whose mind had been unbalanced by the events and results of the Civil War. The second assassin was a Frenchman who was crazed by the desire for office, and the third is a Pole, who claims to be an anarchist. nr. Lincoln Assassinated. The first Presidential assassination occurred just after the close of the j Civil War. when President Abraham 1 Lincoln was shot and aimost instantly j killed in a Washington theatre by John ' Wilkes Booth, an obscure actor. President Lincoln had been frequent-! ly warned of the danger of assassina- I tion. as well as threatened with it in 1 anonymous letters, but had never ta- { ken any precaution against it. believ- ( ing on the one hand that it was not; likely to be attempteJ. and on the j other that if it were contemplated no j precaution could protect one who was ; so accessible as the President of the United States. r*r? ovontn<r of fJonri FriHiiv Ad ril 14th, 1865. President Lincoln visited Ford's theatre, accompanied by Mrs Lincoln and two or three personal friends. The play was "Our American Cousin." A few minutes after 10 o'clock an actor. John Wilkes Booth entered the box, having first barred the passage leading to it. approached the President from behind, placed a pistol close to his head and fired. He then leaped from the front of the box ujon the stage, and brandishing a dagger j shouted. "Sic semper tyrannis," disap- ' peared behind the scenes, passed out at the stage door and escaped on horse?back. As he jumped upon the stage his leg was broken, and he was recognized by the actors.

He was removed to a private house on the opposite side of the street, where he died 22 minutes past 7 o'clock the next morning. Shooting of President Garfield. The next Presidential assassination was the killing of James A. Garfield by Charles J. Guiteau. a disappointed and mentally unbalanced office-seeker. It was on July 2. 1881 that Guiteau shot ' at Garfield twice in the ladies" waiting room of the Baltimore and Potomac j railroad in Washington, as he was about leaving the city to join his wife on a New England pleasure trip. One of the balls took effect i" his back and he sank unconscious to the floor. He was at once conveyed to the White House and there attended by the best j medical skill till September 6th, when he was removed to the seashore at El- j btrton.- X. J. Bloodpoisoning appeared on the 13th and four days later he died. Guiteau was promptly arrested, indicted and after one of the most sensational trials on record, was convicted and executed on June 30. 1882. Guiteau's lawyers set up the plea of insanity. He had been a persistent candidate for appointment, first as minister to Austria and then as consul general to Paiis. He is reported as having said, when 2rrested. "All right. I did it. and will go to jail for it." A letter was also found on his person in which he spoke of the President's assassination as "a sad necessity" that would "unite the Republican party and save the Republic." President Garfield made a brave fight j for life. His death did net occur until some two months after he was shot and several times during that period he was pronounced by his physicians as almost out of dangei. > y,;? wnnnH mav not a uescnpuuu mo ? be uninteresting just here, as it bears, i in some respects, a resemblance to one i of the wounds from winch President McKinley is now suffering. The assassin stood about six fee; be- j hind and a little to the right of Mr. 1 Garfield. An examination of the wound showed that the bullc-t had entered between the ele\enth and twelfth ribs, about 4 inches to the right of the spi- i nal column, and the physicians were of the opinion that it had grazed ihe liver and lodged in the front wall of the abdomen. They deemed the injury not necessarity fatal, but concluded that it was not advisable to attempt removal of the ball. Later, however, it was discovered that neither the liver nor any other vital orgtv. was affected by the bullet. For several days immediately following the shooting the President's recovery was confidently predicted by hi? do -tors. The first check to the favorab; - symptoms occurred on the ISth? / two weeks after the shooting. On the 23rd the President suffered a serious' relapse and on the next day an incision was made along what was supposed to be the path of the wound to allow the escape of pus there collected. This was followed by improved symptoms. On the 2Sth there was a recurrence of the fever, but this soon passed and there were favorable reports until August Gth. On the 10th another incision was made along the wound; following this the reports became daily less encouraging until the 15th. when the doctors asknowledged the patient's condition as serious. Nourishment and medicine had to be administered by injection. and another incision made to liberate the pus in the wound. On the 25th he was again pronounced as in a critical condition, though on the 27th improvement was shown. On September 4th the President was moved to the New Jersey voast in the hope that the change might do him good, and for awhile this seemed to be the result, for on the 8th his symptoms seemed very favorable: but on the 11th reports began to fluctuate and continued to do so till the 16th, when a serious relapse came, and from which he never rallied, dying on the 19th. at 10:35 o'clock. During President Garfield's sickness there had been criticisms and discussions of the Medical treatment being administered, and so after his death a post-mortem examination was held. It was found that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib. had passed through the spinal column in front of the spinal canal, fracturing the first lumbar vertebra and driving the splinters of bone into the fleshy parts. The ball lodged about two inches below the pancres (sweetbread! and half to the left of the spine and behind the peritonaceum. where it had been completely encysted. The immediate cause of death was a secondary hemorrage from one of the mesenteric arteries adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritonaeum, and nearly a pint escaping into the abdominal cavity. A Negro Choked Ihe Assassin. New York. Special.?A special from Buffalo says: J. B. Parker, who grabbed the would-be assassin of President Mc| Kinley about the neck with a strangle hold, preventing the firing of a third shot, is a negro who lives at No. 450 Sixth avenue. New York city. He was born in Atlanta. Ga.. fortyfive years ago. in slavery. He went to the exposition to take a place as waiter in the Bailey restaurant. He lives at No. 223 Clinton street. Buffalo, while at work at the exposition. He is a giant in size, standing over G feet, erect as an Indian, has very regular features and is light in color. The assassin tore his vest buttons en- ( tirely off in the struggle. Parker said: "It's the very best day's work I ever | did. If I had not grabbed that crazy loon he would have shot again. I got ' a strangle hold on his neck that I learned down south. "Just think, old father Abe freed me. and now I saved his successor from death, provided that bullet that tHn ni?nciflont rlnn't kill j lit: 11 1 CU lUi KJ l 14 V- I tkliviv.11% V I him. "Yes. I live in New York, but I never had a chance before 10 shake any pres : ident's hand. I stood in line waiting my turn: a lady was ahead of me. and , behind was a fellow with light hair, about 5 feet 9 inches tall. "He had a cap in his left hand and a handkerchief in his right hand. He was right in front of me, and I had a good chance to look at him as we ; walked slowly down the line. | "He didn't seem nervous as I recall it. but he kept glaring at the president all the while in a funny kind of way. I was watching him when we got to the president, but was looking at the president. I "Suddenly. I heard two sharp reports. the handkerchief on the man's hand burst into a blaze as the fellow raised his smoking pistol to shoot again, aiming this time at the presi dent's heart. "it seemed to me that my own heart | was in my moutn. but with a jump 1 j threw my left arm around the man end knocked his hand down. Then the detectives and I dragged him into a side room and threw him on a table and searched him. "The president turned a shade paler and sat down on a bench. My clothes were half torn off me. but I thank the good Lord I did what I could to save the successor of the man who freed my people. I shall stay tight here, working as waiter." Great Combination Forming. oiffctmrp' SnprlaL?The Post says: All the bituminous coal mining companies of Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. West Virginia and Kentucky ! are to be consolidated into one great corporation by the J. P. Morgan syndicate. The enormous proportions of this corporation can hardly be realized. The fact that the PPtsburg Coal Company, witli its capital of $64,000,000 ; and the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company, with | its capital of $30,000,000. are to be inj eluded in the greater consolidation. I brings the matter strongly before I Pittsburg coal operators. These two corporations practically control all I the output in the Pittsburg district and extend their operations well down ! toward West Virginia in two direcj tions. Officers ot these companies are expected to attend a meeting of the i coal operators in New York Thursday ! of next week, at which the preliminary steps toward the formation of , the great combine will be taken. No if All Alike. Switzerland has wet summers and dry summers. so that some tourists may spend two or three weeks among the mountains without ever getting a view of them, while others QBrdly see a cloud and revel in mellow sunshine. Up to the middle of August the present season was exceptionally unpleasant. and thousands left the summer "playground of Europe" disgusted. Nevertheless there has been a constant succession of accidents?more. '? tUon in nnv nrp.?prtine 111 \JI VJ ywi 1 "u 44 111 * * ' trm ?o summer. This, however, was to have been expected, for the figures printed in the year book of the Swiss Alpine Club show that there has been for years a steady increase in the number of fatal accidents. In 1895 nineteen death were recorded in the following year twenty-four. 1897 and 1898 had thirty-four and thirty-seven respectively. while the fatalities for 1899 and 1900 were forty-one and forty-eight. Altogether Canada sells about $80.000.000 a year of products from its farms. That is only about one-tenth of what the United States does in the same department, but then it must be the proportions of $10,000,000 to $6.is a little more than one-fifteenth that of this country. In the exportation of fish Canada leads he United States in the proportion og $10,000,000 to $0.00O.000 a year. QTARTLINGF l Thousands of children are being gr L J are seldom reliable.

There will be a great saving in fuel, in the use of much longer freight trains, and in , higher speed, and the resulting increase of earnings has been estimated at $3,000,000 a year. Sir Wilfred Laurier is a very clever man. He had to make a speech at the Toronto Industrial Exhibition [ Tuesday and he had to say something about this year's census. He admitted that the figures were a little disappointing and then he told his audience * ? that Canada's business (exports and imports) in the last fiscal year amounted to about $87 per head of the population. while that of the United States' amounted only to about $29 per head. "So you see," he said, "that even with our limited resources we can trade. man for man. about two-thirds more than our American neighbors." Ocean View, Va.
