Defender Had Clean Walk Over Very
 Rough Sea.
 Newport, R. l., Aug. S.-The Defender had only Gen. Paine's Jubilee to contend with in today's races for sloops off Bre tons reef. Some light changes made in the cut of the Jubilee sails were re lied upon by the Boston people to bring the boat to the 1895 style of going, but the boat is still a 1893 boat and not in it with the Defender
 / The course today was the same as was used on Monday for the Drexel cup races, a triangle with seven miles to the leg. thirty-two miles around and to be sailed twice over, unless otherwise signal1ed. The start and finish was at Breton's reef light ship, the first turn Point Judith buoy and the second turn spar buoy at sea. The wind made it a beat to the first mark, reach to the second and a. run home.
 The schooner race postponed from yes terday on account of the storm was started before the big sloops were sent off, There was heavy roll on, due to yesterdays storm, and the attendant fleet had an unpleasant time of it. There were only dozen steam and sailing yes sells out with spectators aboard. They were treated to good view of the United States men-of-war New York and Gin cinnati of the North Atlantic squadron on their way to the rendezvous TOT the squadron eyolutions.
 Of the ten entries for today's races the only class competitors were the schoon- CTS Emerald and Marguerite and sloops Defender and Jubilee. The others there fore did not start presumably by previous arrangement The Defenders time was taken at the end of the first round. The Jubilee crossed the line eight minutes and thirty seconds later and followed the De- fender up the harbor. The Emerald crossed the finish line at 2:12:45 D. m. The Marguerite was still down in the horizon. The two winners had clean walk-over from start to finish.

FRANKLIN, Ind, July 17.-Mrs.
Georgiana Howard, wife of Howard,
or Holmes, the insurance swindler,
is at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Mary Yoke, in this city Mrs. How
ard has been busy all day getting
ready for a trip to Philadelphia to-
night in answer to a telegram from
District Attorney Graham. Mrs
Howard when asked about her
knowledge of the Pietzel children
said: Upon that subject l have
nothing to say She was told that
it was reported she would swear that
Howard was not in Toronto at the
time the Pietzel children were muir
dered. She replied: Il decline to
make any statement on that SUBJ
ject." Mrs. Towards mother here
interposed with THAT report is GER
tainly not true" Mrs. Howard said
she was at Indianapolis part of last
September and October when How
ard and the Pietzel children were
there. Asked if She knew the Pietzel
children, and that the Pietzel boy
had disappeared, said: 'fWhy, 1 new
er knew there was such a family in
existence, and how could I know
what became of the boy? I never
heard of the Pietzel family until my
husband was arrested"
UNDER ANOTHER NAME
did you ever see the father of the
children?"
Yes, 1 knew him in Fort Worth,
Tex, where he worked on a business
block which Mr.. Howard was build
ing, but he went under another name
L did not know that he had a fam
lily"
Mrs. Howard was asked what she
knew about Howard having other
wives, and replied that she knew
nothing about it, but had heard it
said that he had. Here Mrs. Yoke,
her mother explained that there
was no evidence that Howard ever
married any other woman than her
daughter, and said that her daughter
and Howard were married in De-
cember, and the marriage certificate
was in her possession. Mrs. How
ard also stated that she and her
husband had lived in Fort Worth
from February to April 1894, and
after that almost everywhere. Mrs
Howard gave evidence that she knew
just where to stop talking. She ap--
peared to be uneasy that her moth
er would say something that ought
not be said. Nothing could be OBJ
tained from her that would indicate
that she had any knowledge of How
ards crookedness and crimes, or
that she is any other than a devoted
wife.

REMOVAL DEMANDED.
Denver Clergy and Laity United
Against bishop Mutz.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Important
news has been received in this coun-
try from an American now in Rome
concerning the resignation of Bish-
OPP MatZ, of the diocese of Denver.
Col, which is now pending before
the Propaganda. According to this
authority, strong petition has been
received in Rome from the priests
of the diocese of Denver, setting
forth reasons why Bishop Matz's res
ignation should be accepted without
delay, and signed by thirty priests
of the diocese of Denver. The sig
natures are headed by the vicar
general of the Denver diocese and
comprise those of every officer of
the diocese, every member of the
bishops council and every diocesan
priest. The petition sets forth the
condition of the diocese, and points
out the incapacity of Bishop Matz
to administer it, either temporarily
or spiritually. The same authority
says that before the reception of the
pelItlOH al rome the 1Qed was cur
rent there that the only opposition
to Bishop Matz arose because of ma
tionality, the bishop being a Ger
man.. This idea is now dissipated,
as the petition is signed by German,
French, Irish and Americans; in
fact, it is unanimously signed by
the priests of the diocese, regardless
of race. This is said to be the first
time in the history of the church in
America that body of priests have
risen up en- masse and requested the
pope to remove a bishop because of
his incapacity in all particulars. The
letter addressed to the pope by the
Denver priests is said also to re-
quest his holiness to send some dis
interested person to Denver to in
vestigate the allegations set out by
the priests against Bishop Matz. 1t
is not known what action will be
taken on either the resignation OF
Bishop Matz or the letter of his

A RELIABLE PILE CURE.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest
and surest pile cure on the market, be-
cause it contains no mineral poisons
nor opium nor cocaine, but can be used
with absolute safety and certainty of
cure.
Many physicians are now using the
Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless, convenient
to use, and the patient can attend to
his daily occupation while the cure is
being made, as it is used at night and
no additional treatment is necessary.
DR.. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
Cure will prove blessing to mankind,
when it is remembered that heretofore
surgical operation was considered
the only cure with all its danger to
life, intense pain and an expense of
from ten to one hundred dollars, to
say nothing Of the possible return of
the trouble. The Pyramid Pile Cure
is sold by druggists at so cents and
$1.00 and does the work quickly and
safely.
