HARRISON'S CHANCES.

John C. New and Daniel IL Rusdell Discuss Them. General "Harriscm friends d.i Indiana find themselves in an embarrassing portion. Within the Jast twenty-four hours they Shave received assurances that lie mil toe made the anti-M-oKlaley candidate, for -the nomination for the presidency if he will only step forward and .prevent instructions in. Indiana. The proposition. comes from (his enemies, the men who did all they could to prevent. his renomination at Minneapolis four years ago, and who, according ta ail reports, were lukewarm dn his support after he had been nominated. It is looked upon as the last ditch fight of fch'e anti-McKiU'ley "people.

John C, New said today: "I have not talked with General Harrison, and I do 'not wfi®h it understood that I am speaking for any one bait myself when I say I /believe -that there is now a very sincere wish on the part of the gentlemen who adopted tfhe favorite son plan in poliiti-es that iHarriison (be made the candidate with which to defeat McKinley. General Harrison, as I have said on many occasions, is sincere fisn saying that he is not a candidate. He has not 'been a candidate and ds not now one. No-man who kinow§ ihim will question this statement. His friends have no organization. On account of his letter they have -"been deterred from talcing steps that nvjght otherwise have been taken. I will say that if he visits the convention and makes a speech no power on earth can induce .the convention to instruct 'for McKtinley."

Daniel M. Ransdell said today that he had not changed his mind relative to General Harrison's availability. He said he spoke only for himseif. He saw no need of ins.rusvatj the convention for McKinley. The delegates should go to St. Louis prepared to meet any condition that might arise. Mr. Harrison was in no seinse a candidate, Mr. Ransdell said, and his letter of withdrawal held good now as well as when was written, but Mr. Ransdell thought no man would refuse a presidential nomination.

No definite information was to be had at the home of General Harrison as to whether he would address the convention. Secretary Tibbot said that there would ibe no more correspondence 'oe tween General Harrison and Chairman Gowdy relative to the latter's presence, and that if the general decided to address the convention, ne would do so without any preparation. There were several callers at the Harrison home during the morning, and Mr. Harrison remained indoors most of the time.

The information the general's friends have from New York and Washington that the leaders in the anti-iMcKin-•ley combine are sincere in their demand that HariTson be made the candidate.

It is not because they like Harrison, but because they disiike McKinley more," said one of the general's political friends today. With all this pressure being brought to bear upon him today, the .farmer president gave no sign of what his intentions are. Men who have talked with him say he has not yet changed his mind about the McKinley tid'afwave. He believes the party is being Ifed into a grave error, and .nothing would please him' more than to see the Indiana „convention refuse to join the •McKinley' procession. But while the politicians of his native state and representatives of the party from neighboring states pushed and crowdeij/and

talked excitedly at the headquarters hotel'%).day, ihe stayed at his home In North Delaware street, and was apparently not worrying over the situation. He has not answered Chairman Gowdy's letter asking him to attend the convention to morrow and make a speech, except to say in a«*brief note that the invitation is under considera'tioii.

D'HASFNIESS CANNOT BE CURED, ©y local applications, as they cannot re^ch the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucuous Iinig of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed iDt'afness 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 out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but in inflamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.

We will gtive One Hundred Dollars for any case of Dea£n«ss (caused by catarrh) that cannot be enured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. Free.

WOOL FROM MARY'S LAM3.

Mado Into Yarn That Sold for S300 an Oun5e. "I have got some yarn that Was made from the fleece of the original 'Mary's little lamb,'" said the wife of a well known Orange county lawyor in the New York Sun. "There are only four strands of it, and, eafh one is only a 'few inches in length, &nd it cost 50 cents a strand. There is no doutot about its being the genuine wool of that immortal creature. I was in Boston a few years ago at the time the ladies of that city were raising funds to purchase the Old South Church, which was threatened with destruction by the march of modern improvement. Among other devices was a fair called Aunt Talbitha's Knitting Bee, the attraction of which was a number of venerable dames who spun yarn on antfi» nt spinning wheels, just as they and their mothers had spun from the wool :n the early days. Some Boston lady heard that Mary, the hejoine of the littii lamb rhyme, was living at, Sterling, Mass., in the person of octogenarian Mrs. Tyler, a widow. This lady went to Sterling, and not only found that Mrs. Tyler was really the original of the poem, but induced her to come to JJoston and spend a day at the knitting bee. She was a delightful old iady and told the story of her little lamb, "When she was Ibut a few yars old, her name 'being MaTy Sawyer, among •the lambs born on her father's farm one night was one wMch was such a weakling that Farmer Sawyer said that it co.uld not possibly live. The child Ma.ry felt such a pity for the helpless lambkin that she 'begged her father to let her take it and'try to nurse it into strength. He told her bo take it. She carried it t'o tihe house, and all 'the rest of .the day and all the following night treated it wfth stfoh gentle care that hext m'orn.ing it was much improved and Farmer Sawyer rejoiced Miiry by (telling her that it would liive and grow .strong. Su'ch proved to be the case, and as, it grew the lamb's affection for Mary was so great th'at i-t was miserable when separated from her. "The stanza which says:

AUSTRIA'S V/OMEN BARBERS.

They Must Serve .in Apprenticeship and Acquit Themselves Well The Austrians take no chances-with their barbers. They must Ibe good, and: the barbers and wig-makers-' union of' Vienna sees to it that they are. Proviston is also made in their code for"! women barbers who desire to 'carry on. •the business of their husbands in case, of the latter's deatn or illness, says the •New York World.

But in order to do this the wife muse have been enrolled in the u-nion as ani apprentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must swear VCenm-a in the present of judges of the judge and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own.

A properly certified bailber must have a knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair cutting, hair cfiH- I ing and wigmaking, and during the period before the issuance of a certifl- 1 cate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment.

At the examination the young men. have their razors dulled by four strokes 1 in a pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned I •to each, who must be tonsorially per-u feet in the opinion of the judges when the apprentice has released him.

After this a certificate is issued and this apprentice serves two years as a journeyman before he may open a shop as an employer. The average age of apprentices when they begin to learn* their trade is 13 years.
