Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing a very disagreeable itching
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR., Boskano's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent
cure. Price, 80 cents. Address, the DIR. BOs-

SUFFERED TO SHIELD A WOMAN.
A Youth Endures Seventeen Years Impris-
Onment for Another.

CHICAGO, June 19-The iron doors OF the Joliet
Penitentiary were thrown open last Tuesday after
noon and man came slowly out of the stone en-
closure. Hewas thirty-slx years old, and nearly
half his life had been passed in the Penitentiary
Everything was strange to him. He walked with
an uncertain step. inhaled deep draughts OF the
fresh air and looked in curious way at the green
foliage. IL was his first hour of freedom In seven
teen years.
The man was Thomas Stewart. who, in 1869, was
sentenced to imprisonment for life for murder.
Stewart now for the first time declares that he
never committed the deed The friend to whom
Stewart laid bare his secret was his hslfbrsther,
Captain p. G. Feeney. wellknown attorney.

One evening the noise of quarrel was heard.
Voices were raised in angry contention and then

States Attorney. He was young and ambitious,
and devoted much time to the prosecution OF the
case. The trial lasted saveral days. Stewart lis
tened TO all the evidence without saying word.
At that time the defendant in q criminal action
could not testify in his own behalf, The woman
was under indictment. and she could not testify.
Tie State afterward entered a nolle pros. IN her
case. Stewards sentence was for life. His friends
were active in his behalf, but he told them very
little, and his chief wish seemed to be to protect
the woman as much as possible.
Ii now turns out that Stewards boyish devotion
to the woman caused him TO voluntarily sacrifice
himself in her behalf. He is reported as saying
last night that he was not present when the kill
ing took place. The woman and Hubert had
quarreled. He struck her and the woman shot
him.
She was standing with the smoking revolver in
her hand when Stewart entered. She gave him
the weapon mechanically, and he held IL in a
dazed way while the woman tried TO stanch HUI
bert's wound. The next instant the police en-
tered found Stewart with the revolver in his hand
and arrested him as the murderer. For the wo-
mans sake he never opened his lips to the con-
trary.

They Attempt to Murder Their Benefactors
for Their Money.

New YORK, June ia Washington spe-
cial says: Details of the almost unprece-
dented attempt at a double murder by two
young girls, the oldest only eighteen and the
second hardly in her teens, have been re-
ceived from Fredericksburg. The victims
were Mr.. w. E. S. Waller, an old gentleman
sixty five years of age, and his sister Miss
Jane Waller. Mary and Jennie Green, sis
tiers, were the assailants. A dispatch says
that Mr.. and Miss Waller resided
in a stately old mansion on a
farm situated about twenty-five
miles from Fredericksburg, near the little
village of Newmarket. The extensiveness
of the Waller estate made the house some
what remote from those of the neighbOrs
Here the couple had lived.together for years,
managing their farm and depending solely
for assistance about the house on the two
Green girls. They had been reared by the
Waller family matter which in the eyes
of Mr.. Waller was sufficient to guarantee
their honesty.
Last Friday Mr. Waller received quite a
sum of money, which he kept in his rom,
and the girls were aware of this fact. They
waited until about IL o'clock that night,
when, feeling sure that Mr.. and Mrs. Waller
were asleep, they quietly armed themselves
with stout clubs and descended to the old
gentleman's apartment As they entered
the room Mr. Waller awoke and seeing who
ii was, demanded angrily what they wanted.
Without waiting reply. the girls rushed at
him. Though aged, Mr.. Waller is still quite
an active man, and springing from his bed
he seized the elder and would have disarmed
her had not the other hit him over the head
with her club and knocked him senseless to
the floor. Not content with this, they be-
labored his senseless form with blows until,
believing that life was extinct, they left him
to search for Mrs. Waller. Rushing into
the old lady's room they dragged her scream
ing from her bed and with one savage
blow from a club laid her senseless,
then they beat her about the
head until the blood gushed forth in streams,
and all vestige of her features were literally
beaten out OF recognition. Finally satisfied
that both their victims were dead. the girls
secured about $3.50 in money and fed.

THE OBSERVATORY.
A Warm Dispute which spoiIs an Alleged
Soft Thing.

WAsHSGToE, June ia fight occurred in the
House to-day over the item in the Naval bill
which makes appropriation for the erection Of
The observatory building at Washington, for
which site has been purchased.
Mr.. Warner, OF Ohio, said that it was his under
standing that it the intention to construct
Villas for the officers in charge of the observatory
The clause was so framed, he thought as not to
limit the expenditures to the construction of the
observatory building, but so to admit OF the
building Of fine country houses to be occupied by
the officers. He offered amendment limiting
the cost to 100000 and providing that no more
should be expended except on the observatory
building proper.
Mr. Adams, Of Ill, tried to make point of or
der, but IL was too late.
Mr.. Buck asked Mr. Warner where he got his in
formation about the villas.
He replied that there had been considerable
talk about the matter in the newspapers. and he
had himself seen the plans.
Mr. Breckenridge said he thought the clause
should be stricken out and the matter not acted
upon until plans were adopted.
Mr. Warner withdrew his amendment and sub
mitted another. which made no limit as to ulti-
mate cost Of buildings. but described their char
acter. Mr. Blanchard then showed that the plans
had already been adopted. This amendment was
agreed to By q vote Of "a toe.
Mr.. Breckenridge moved to strike out the clause
as amended. This motion was lost by vote OF
