Helen GouId q ~. B.

Miss Helen Gould is generally ac-
credited with being the most intellec-
tual of all the children Of Jay Gould.
It is no uncommon thing to hear it
said among the chappies, "Helen Gould
has the brains Of the family"
This is no discredit to the rest of the
family, for Miss Gould is woman of
remarkable mind and brilliant attain
ments.
So true is this that respect for her is
universal. Her intellectually, not less
than her charity and her money, has
made her woman Of note.
She has been studying law for some
time-in fact, she has taken the full
course in the law school of the Univer-
sity of the City of New York and has al
ready passed private examination so
creditably that she is now entitled to a
diploma Of LII. B., if one may call a
woman bachelor of laws
The private examination was held
last Thursday. and Miss Gould acquit-,
ted herself brilliantly.-New York Re

A clergyman in west end church

of promise action. He forgot to perform
the duty at the proper time. much to
the chagrin of the affianced couple, who
attended church specially to hear their

man remembered the omission before
entering the pulpit to preach, and ac-
cordingly he took the banns book with
him. The result was that he announc-

How "Glue Dollar Smith" Saved Money.
A strike is not generally humorous
affair, but the electrical workers strike
in New York, which has just come to
an end, developed decidedly humorous
character While the majority of the
strikers were going around with long
faces "Glue Dollar Smith, was smiling.
He was fat and we'll dressed all
through the strike. He and his family
always had enough to eat, and there
was always room at his table for one or
two of his friends, and all because five
years ago, having no faith in savings
banks, he laid aside SO bill, and each
week after that glued one to his hoard,
until he finally was the possessor of
big green brick, which he kept in the
bottom drawer of the bureau in his bed
room.
When the strike had been in progress
a week, he got an ak, he says, and chop
ped slice or two off the brick and
melted the glue off. He repeated this
process weekly until the strike ended,
and there is still good sized brick left

Railroad company accepted the bonds
in full satisfaction Of the obligation of
the United States; that the United
States has paid out of it's treasury the

The complaint also alleges that the

that the Western Pacific and its stock

say that Leland Stanford was stock
holder Of the capital stock Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad company during
the whole period of it's existence, and
that the estate Of Leland Stanford now
owes the government, as the proportion
of said $50, 900, 600, for which it is liza
BILE. the sum of $13. 1877, 900, no part Of
which has ever been paid; that he
handled 1876, 900 shares of the capital
stock Of the Western Pacific during the
time the debt and liability were incurred,
and the corporation became indebted in
the sum of S.. 489, $50, and that the es-
tate of Stanford owes the government,
as his proportion of 1876, shares,
81, 255, 600, no part of which was ever
paid. and which, added to the sum Of
$1S, 1877, 900, makes the amount due and
owing to the government by the estate
Of Leland Stanford $15, 227, 900.
1t is recited that on the 29th of No.
vember, 1885, Leland Stanford made
and published his last will and appoint
ed Jane L. Stanford as sole executrix,
without bond. The orators allege that
they presented their claim, duly veri-
fed, within the time prescribed by law.
The orators further say that they believe
no creditor other than themselves has
presented to Jane L. Stanford any claim
against the estate for his proportion.
The orators therefore say that there has
not been since May 81, 1894. any valid
claim in favor Of any creditor against
the estate save that Of themselves by
reason of the fact that Leland Stanford
was stockholder in either corporation.

TO CURE PILES.
A Remedy That VIII Do 1t and Is
Perfectly Safe.

Perfectly Safe.
We do not intend to indorse any ex-
cept articles of real merit. We there
fore take pleasure in calling attention
to a new pile cure which has been re-
markedly successful in curing every
form of itching, bleeding or protruding
piles. The remedy is known as the
Pyramid Pile Cure, and is recommend
ed by the best medical authorities on
account Of its absolute safety, ease of
application and instant relief from
pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains no
opium or other poison, and does not
interfere with daily occupation while
using. People who believed nothing but
a surgical operation would cure them
have been astonished at the results
from single 5O-cent package of the
Pyramid.
Mrs. Mary G. Tyler, of Heppner, Ore,
writes: One package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles from
which 1 have suffered for years, and L
have never had the slightest return of
them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb,.
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. I cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by all
druggists at so cents and 81 per pack
