Deafneaa Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
dieeased portion of the c-ar. 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.

FORMER ASSASSINATIONS.
Review of the Killing; of Lincoln and
Garileld.
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.
The President's head fell slightly

ousness never returned. 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

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.

Switzerland has wet summers and
dry summers. so that some tourists
may spend two or three weeks among
the mountains without ever getting a

season was exceptionally unpleasant.
and thousands left the summer

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

Sir Wilfred Laurier is a very clever

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'
