CINE OF TIE BEST FEATURES


Is the fact that it cures every form
Of piles without one particle of pain
This desirable point is not obtained bv
the use of injurious Opiates which
simply deaden and paralyze the nerves
OF the parts and make matters worse
in the long run. But it is done solely
by IT'S remarkable healing and soothing
effects
And while it thus gives immediate
relief. at the same time the disease IS
not merely checked, but 2 radical cure
is rapidly accomplished.
And the point We want to make clear
is that all this is done without a parti-
Gle of pain
This fact IS one reason for the great
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
enca between II and almost any other
kind Of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles Is eXeTuciatingly painful besides
enGangering the life of the patient.
ana in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid cure, neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety
The Pyramid Pile cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by TOO many people, to al
low lit to be classed with the many
salves. suppositories. pills. etc, and you
run no risk in trying il. as is often the
case with new and untrisd prepare
tons
If you are ever troubled with any
form Of piles or rectal disease. do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co Of Al
bion. Mich, and sold BY druggists
at 50 cents per package.

YUNG WINGS SUCCESS.
National Bank to be Established in
 China

National Bank to be Established in
 China
 When Yung Wing, (whom many New Haveners well remember, especially Yale men) was called from Washington to China to consult with the govern ment about much needed reforms in the administration of public affairs, he had two great objects in view: First, to establish a national banking system in China. and second, to revive the Chi nese educational mission in this coun- try and England.
 The probable success of his first ob ject is intimated in the following dis patch to the New York Herald:
 China is to have national bank. Official advices to this effect have reached the state department from its representatives in China. Negotiations are now under way for its establish ment. The scheme proposed is that of Dr. Yung Wing, an advanced Celestial. and it is to go into operation 1t is ex- pected, about the same time as the inn perial railway, which has recently been projected. The bank is to be under the patronage of two high officials in Pe- kin, their excellencies Chang Yin Huan, vice-president of the board of revenue, and Hsu Ting Kuel, director general of the imperial graneries of Pekin and North Tungchou. The details of the proposed institution have not yet been perfected.
 The proposed railroad, which is to connect PeBin and Hankow, is to de- posit its funds in the national bank, when it is established The emperor has given instructions for the collection of a preliminary sum for the construc- ton of the road-ten million taels. Seven million taels have been already raised in Canton, and two other Canton syndicates have also petitioned the ministry of war, declaring that they had each raised the sum required.
 The chinese emperor evidently recog- nizes the prevalence of dishonesty among officials of his empire, for in his instructions he stated that eff money be collected and handed over to the of ficials to construct the road the chances for success would be nil It therefore only remains for the commercial class es to build the line under the general supervision of the government in order to facilitate the completion of this i'm portant enterprise."
 The viceroys of the provinces through which the line will pass are directed to do all in their power to see the road brought to a successful completion. Three syndicates are to be allowed the right to build portions of the road In none of them are foreigners to be al- lowed to hold shares. Chinese capital is to build Chinese roads. The emperor has sent rescripts to all the provinces in the empire announcing his intention to have road constructed by China men with Chinese capital, with a view to encouraging them to follow his ex- ample. State department advices also indicate that other plans for railroad construction are in contemplation by the Chinese government

His Populist Endorsement - What
 Southern Business Men Say.
 New York, July 2S.--A special to the Evening Post from Charlotte, N. C., says:
 A business man of this city just re- turned from Richmond, Va, says that he heard gentleman put this ques- tion to President M E. Ingalls, of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad (normal- ly democrat), whose road is about to make improvements in Richmond amounting to s2,000,000: What effect would the election of Bryan have on the work which you are about to in- stitute here?" MT Ingalls, replied in these words: 'It would put stop and an end to 1t all; and not only that, it would force my company and railroad companies generally to stop improve ments everywhere, force them to dis pense with many of their employees, and reduce the wages of those retain ed''
 Captain Dilling of Kings Mountain, N. C., the Messrs. Holt of Burlington, N. C., and several other southern cot ton manufacturers WQO thought they might possibly vote for Bryan, though with much reluctance, a week ago, oc- cupy very different position to-day. They state that under no circumstances can they justify themselves now in vot- ing for Bryan since he has been en- dorsed by the radical populists. T am afraid of him, more than ever now" :" said one of the largest cotton manufac- turers in the state and man who has never cast other than democratic bal lot T believe the assertion of Judge Green of Nebraska when he shouted in the convention last Saturday in order to allay the objections of the Texan delegates who wanted him to stand fiatfooted on the populist platform: T know MT. Bryan well; he Is my friend; and say to you he is as good and true populist as you and are!' And this in reply to the question whether he would stand on the full populist plat form. No, sir; I cannot support MT. Bryan now, and I am sure the popu- list endorsement will accomplish his de- feat"

picture Is that of History Instructlng Youth" History being represented by reclining, well-rounded female figure, with the stars and stripes as a part of her drapery, with one arm extended to- ward the monument the Capitol and the blue Potomac, and the other arm resting upon Q youth, who is listening to her instructive story of the birth and growth of the republic.
 Around the margin of the note are laurel wreaths, each surrounding the name of one of the makers of American history. These names, however, are not limited to soldiers and politicians. and include some of those who have written their fame imperishably upon the rolls of English literature and mod ern discovery. The top of the note bears the names of Fulton, Calhoun, Clay, Jackson, Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, Per- ry, Marshall, Webster and Morse. The left margin bears the namesof Cooper, Irving, Lincoln, Sherman and Long fellow, while the right margin bears the names of Hawthorne, Bancroft, Grant, Farragut and Emerson. The text of the statement that the note rep resents silver dollar in the treasury is put at the bottom of the note, under the figure of History and the Capitol.
 The back of the note bears portraits of Washington and his wife, similar to those which have previously appeared on government notes, but resting upon background of lathe work and myth ological figures, which produce very artistic effect.
