This brought him a parliamentary nomination. in 1865 he was interrupted in an im- portant speech in the Commons with tho announcement of the death of his eldest brother, Viscount Oi'anborno.• This made Salisbury the heir to the title and big estate of the hlarquisl of Salisbury. In 1806 he entered Lord Derby's Cabinet. He became Foreign Secretary under Disraeli, In 1996 ho reached the Premiership, holding it but ono year. In 1894 ho was recalled to power and served un- til the accession of Mr, I3altour. He Was an opponent of Rome Rule 111 Ireland, believed in the protection of home industries, was ultra -conserva- tive regarding internal politics, but aggressively radical in his Foreign politics.

For forty-eight hours it was seen that the end was inevit- able. Even the administration of oxygen failed of effect that evening. A few minutes after 9 o'clock the former Premier turned slightly to- wards his favorite daughter, Lady G•wendolinc Cecil, who was kneeling. beside him, and then quietly breath- ed his last. All the members of His Lordship's family, except Lord Go- cil, were at tho bedside. Tho Village of llatfield, which still retains many features of the feudal period, was filled with anxious resi- dents awaiting tho news of Salis- bury's demise. Finally the news came, when a hatless servant dashed down the graveled roadway, saying as he passed "Ho has gone,'" and then disappeared in the church. Soon thereafter tho bell from the tower above tolled slowly, in memory of the celebrated statesman. Viscount Crauhorne, who now as- sumes the title of Marquis of Salis- bury, immediately notified King Ed- ward and Quoon Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales and others, including Lord Edward Ce- cil, the soldier son of Lord Salis- bury, who is now in Egypt, and who was the only child of the Marquis absent from the death bed. Scores of telegrams of condolence were receiv- ed at Hatfield House. The ex -Premier, though retired from political life, was an important figure in many public ways. He was warden of the Cinque Ports, high Ward of Westminster, and Chancoilor of Oxford University.

King Edward's tribute to tho de- ceased Marquie t I Salisbury is given in the Court Circular last night, dat- ed Marienbad, Sunday. It runs as fol- lows: "The King has received with pro- found regret tho news of the death of the Marquis of Salisbury, and His Majesty deeply deplores the loss of so groat a statesman, whose invalu- able services to Queen Victoria, to the King and his country in the highest offices of state, which he held for so many years, will ever dwell in the memory of his fellow -country- men." Messages of condolence are pouring in at''Ilatfield %louse. The senders in- clude King Edward and Queen Alex- andra, the Queen of Portugal and President Loubet. Touching refer- ences were made to the dead states- man in the pulpits of almost all the churches in tho United Kingdom. There were many visitors to the vil- lage of Hatfield yesterday. The par- ish church was crowded yesterday morning, the worshipers including Premier Balfour. the Earl and Count- ess of Selborne, the Marquis' sons and mnombers of his family and house- hold.

His disappearance from the scene leaves a vacancy which men of the newer generation will find hard to fill. He was the greatest figure left on Britain's political stage on which he had remained until the lim- it of his endurance was reached. When half a century ago young Lord Robert Cecil had just returned fron a visit to tho Australian gold fields he became a member of the House of Commons for Stamford, 1 which was practically a pocketbor- ough of the Marquis of Exeter, him- self a Cecil. Since then Lord Salis- bury's career is part of modern his- tory. In private life, as in politics, he was always tho great aristocrat. Ilis party never dared to attempt to dic- tate to him. His "people" on his estates in seven counties also re- garded him as their chief in a fash- ion which is quite raro nowadays. This was particularly noticeable at his home estate at Iiatfield, whose villagers throughout the past anx- ious days have shown that silent courtesy which only springs from sin- cere respect. Lord Salisbury had long been a great sufferer from gouty complaints. Lord Salisbury's death and the con- sequent elevation of Viscount Cran- borne to the marquisato will inevit- ably lead to alterations inthe now per- sonnel of the ministry, o *marquis Cannot retain his under sec- retaryship in the House of Lords, where the Marquis of Lansdowne re- preeents the Foreign Oflicn. Viscount Cranborne's departure from the House of Commons and consequent elevation to the House of Lords will croon a bye -election in the Rochester division. When the Liberals were defeated in the elections of 1805, and tho Rose- bery ministry went out of power, Lord Salisbury again assumed the Premiership, though even at that time it was recognized that tho ac- tual control of affairs Was rapidly passing into the hands of younger men, Ho remained at the head of the Unionist ministry until Juno 11, 190n. when his advanced ago and i11 health, added to the mental distrac- tion oausod by the death of his wife, led him to resign.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach- ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is eutirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in- flammation 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 an inflamed condi- tion of the mucous services.
