Tho Lord Mayors Costumes.

London's lord mayor has to put ON
three suits Of clothes on taking Office
He wears a wide sleeved, velvet faced,
fur trimmed robe of purple silk rep on
presenting himself to the lord chancel-
lor at Westminster; this he uses after
ward as police magistrate. For his
show he wears a robe of superfine scar
let broadcloth, faced with sable fur and
lined with pearl satin; this he must
wear when greeting the judges at the
Old Bailey and OH All Saints days.
The dress for evening and formal recep-
tions is black damask satin robe, en-
broidered with silver gilt. Under these
he wears a velvet coat and knee breech-
es. The robes are perquisites of the office
and cost 1000. The chain of the office
has on it diamonds worth 5000, 900, and
each lord mayor must give bonds for its
safe return Oh receiving it. When the
queen passes through the city, a fourth
robe is necessary; but, as that seldom
happens, it is bought only when the &C.
casion arises.

submit to arbitration that did not dis
please him. 1t requires moral courage
to advise one against his inclinations,

duty. Whatever may be said as to its
morality or true wisdom, yet must
say regard this aggressive and partisan
spirit more conducive to modern success

Silent Twenty Ye.rs In . Conn.

1t is seldom that man dies in cof-
fin, but that is exactly what old Barney
Frickers of Alliance, O., did when he
finally gave up the ghost in the fall of
1890. For more than 20 years old Bar
ney had been haunted with the idea that
he was on the verge of the grave. Ev
cry evening he declared that he would
never again see the sun rise. He con-
stantly brooded over his queer halluci-
nation and never allowed himself to go
to sleep without being carefully pre-
pared for death and burial. Every night
he robed himself in his grave clothes
and solemnly laid down in his coffin
and passed the night firmly believing
and probably horin" that for HIM the
dav would never dawn again. Finally
death came: but. grim and sly as he
was. he did not find old Barney unrre-
pared The coffin i'll which this queer
old character had so often awakened
disappointed was of his own make and
was said to have been a curiosity in it.

DOING EVERYWHERE
IIcal l1isssvssy That E0Sctually Cur
Pileo In Every Form.

A Medical Discovery That E0bctuAlly Cures
Piles In Every Form.
For many years physicians have
experimental in vain. seeking q rem
edy which would effectua!ly cure
piles and other rectal troubles, with
out resorting to surgical operation.
Many remedies were found to give
temporary relief, but none could be
depended upon to make a lasting,
satisfactory cure.
Within . recent period. however, .
new remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hun
dreds of cases and with highly satis-
factory results.
The first effect Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is to instantly remove the
pain and irritation generally pres
emit and from that time on the cure
rapidly progresses and before the
patient is hardly aware of it he is en-.
tirely cured. The remedy seems to
act directly on the nerves and the
blood vessels of the parts affected, as
it comes in direct contact with them
and sets up healthy action, which
in a perfectly natural way brings the
parts to their normal condition.
The remedy does its work withou,
any pain or Inconvenience to the
sufferer and is Justly considered one
OF the most meritorious discoveries
Of modern medicine.
Piles is one Of the most annoying
and oftentimes dangerous diseases
with which humanity is afflicted. II
neglected, it frequently develops into
istula or some equally fatal or incur.
able trouble. whereas by the timely
use of this simple but effective rene
dy no one need suffer a single day
from any form of piles unless they
want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, containing no miners
poisons, and is also very reasonable
in price. costing but 81 a package
1t is sold in drug stores everywhere
The manufacturers of the remedy are
the Pyramid Drug company, of AL
bion. Mich, who have placed thi.
excellent preparation before the pub
lie only after giving it thorough and
repeated tests in the hands of repu
table physicians. The results in
hundreds of cases have convinced us
that it will not disappoint you.

CREDITED MISS ROCKEFELLER.


She Couldn't Quite Uaderstand why the
ShopDan Wa e Gracious.
A pretty story is told Of Mrs. Harold
Mccormick while she was Miss Edith
Rockefeller, showing the simple manner
in which she regarded her father 3 great
wealth.
The incident occurred when she was
. pupil at one of the fashionable New
York schools. She, with party Of girls
from her class, presented herself at . GER
tain furniture dealers to choose . gift
for favorite teacher. The price Of the
pretty writing desk, however, was more
than the sum in their possession. The
girls suggested that if the desk was
sent they would forward the balance a.
soon as possible.
The proprietor very politely, but also
very decidedly, informed the girls that
he could not do as they asked. But"
he said, 'if you can think Of any New
York business man with whom any Of
your fathers are acquainted and who
will vouch for you the matter may pos
sibly be arranged"
"Why," said the daughter of the
great petroleum magnate, II think my
papa has an Office down ON Broadway.
Possibly we can get the money there"
who is your father?" queried the
dealer.
His name is Rockefeller" replied
the girl simply; "John d. Rockefeller.
He is in the oil business.
The merchant gasped and looked at
the girl is amazement. John d. Rookie
Teller your father? Is John d. Rookie
Teller good for $25?" he repeated in ex-
element.
Then he recovered his presence of
mind sufficiently to order the desk pack

Edith, very much astonished at his un-
wonted excitement, thanked him with
pretty and simple grace.-Philadelph

HEROIC ACT OF A SOCIETY GIRL
Braves the Shame Of . Patrol Wagoa kide

Braves the Shame Of . Patrol Wagoa Eids
to Please . Little Boy.
She was not only herself q member
Of that society which considers itself
entitled TO a capital letter. but her fam
lily had been members thereof in good
sud regular standing for at least three
gen srations. She was shopping on State
street one bright midsummer morning
when a crowd at Washington street at
tracted her attention. Being curious,
she investigated that crowd. She found
in the center thereof small boy Sob
bling bitterly under the guardianship
of two big policemen. To her horror,
she recognized in the small boy her cous-
in's little son.
The little fellow had slipped and
broken or sprained his ankle He knew
where he lived. but he could not get
there. The policemen had sent for the
patrol wagon. the only vehicle at their
command, for the little sufferer.
The child was in perfect agony at the
prospect of being carried off in patrol
wagon by two policemen. The society
girl interfered. She told the policemen
this was her nephew. She told them
where he lived. The address CORE
had himself given them.
I'm get cab and take him home, Z"
said the society girl, reasonable sug-
gestion enough, surely, but the police
men would not hear to that. They had
sent for the patrol wagon, and some one
must have a ride in it. 1t was not to be
ordered out for nothing. They could not
let the child go home in a cab We'll
take him where You say he lives. lady.
but he must go with u.s.
The patrol wagon came. The child
was almost convulsed with terror. He
implored the society girl not to let the
policemen take him. The policemen
were obdurate. Finally the society girl
gave up. We'll" she said. eff he must
go home in a patrol wagon, I'll go
home i'll it too" So they lifted the
small boy in, and the society girl climb
ed in after him, and the policemen
mounted guard on each side.
And thus it happened the few society
people who were by chance shopping on
that midsummer morning instead of en-
| joying the country breezes of the sum-
mer cottages We're Mortified at seeing a
daughter of one of their first families
rolling swiftly by in patrol wagon
under the charge Of two stalwart police
men. And others who were not society
| people wondered what THAT nice, re-
spectacle looking girl could have done
that the police Were taking her away.
And they moralized on the deceptive
ness Of appearances.-Chica Tribune.

Prince Napoleon.

Prince Napoleon in 1870 was some
thing Of a prophet. When he heard of
the emperor's declaration of war, he
hurried to st. Cloud and had a stormy
interview with the emperor. lie ditin I
hesitate to say, cit is the emperor who
has brought this upon u.s." and the en-
peror. while offended at his frankness,
admitted that "your presentiments per-
haps correspond with mine." Then the
prince fired his last shot and showed
that though he might go astray in many
things, he knew of the weakness of
France and the strength of Germany.
He turned ON his heel and, with that
bitterness which he didn't hesitate to
exhibit when occasion required, said
$50 be it, SO be it! Let us, however,
make haste to pack our possessions, for
we are already beaten. And SO the re-
suit proved.-New York Herald.
