FISHING SCHOONER SEIZED.
Crew of Vessel Said to Have Been
Thrown in Prison.

ing schooner Caldwell H. Colt and
imprisonment of Captain James Galli-
cier and seven of his men* compos

the vessel from the master at Pro-
gresso.
The schooner left here fifteen days
ago, supposedly for the Campeachee
fishing banks, and the first known
that she had been seized, evidently
upon the charge that she had been
poaching upon Mexican fishing pre
serves, was when the wire came from
the captain. The Colt was formerly
a New York pilot boat, but was re-
rently converted ‘ into a fishing
Bchoonef.

the entire repreeentations of thB bor

strong that they pv^rode with ease
the oppositio^L fatplion headed by

inated for this office, Robert M.

and who has &ome assurances,of sup
port from the fustuajsU/ There yet
remains the possibility that the Inde
pendence League will make- the con
test a triangular one by naming a
separate ticket.
The platform adopted by the demo
cratic convention dealt broadly with
national, state and municipal ques
tions, denouncing the recent tariff
legislation, and .objecting to any leg
islative interference fn local affairs
by the state legislature.

jDeafness Cannot be Guredt
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the*
ear. There is only one way to cure-
deaf ness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflained condition of the macousi'
lining of the Eustachian Tube. Whei^
this tube is inflained you have ^
rumbling sound or imperfect hear-'
ing, and when It is entlreiy closedV
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflamation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
Caused by Catarrh, which is notfiingr
but an inflamed condition of the
