The crowd answered with several re-
volver shots, one of the gendarmes be-
ing seriously wounded in the chest.

assumed such menacing aspect that

fire upon the mob. yolley was fired
from the carbines by the gendarmes

is not known positively whether any
body was shot or not, but it is believed
tnat the volley was fired over the heads
OF the rioters. Later the courage of the
crowd returned and with augmented

A Curious Religious Colony.

In the central part of Texas is located
the town Of Bolton, where there is a Gu
rious religious colony Of women known
as the "Sanctified Sisters" The chief
prerequisites 20 membership this COM
munity are life of calibacy, common
property and an isolated existence. The
original leader of this curious band is
Mrs. Martha McWhirter, woman of
indomitable will. When she conceived
the idea Of this colony, she was happy
with her husband and IL children,
against whose united protest she persist
ed in founding the society. This was 10
years ago, since which time the society
has steadily grown in numbers and
wealth. chiefly through the efforts of
Mrs. McWfirter, whose executive and
business ability are indicated by the fact
that at present she is member Of the
board Of trade and a director of the
opera house syndicate Of Belton. The
membership, which is now 80, includes
several women who formerly occupied
excellent positions in the social world.

In The Woman's Magazine there is a
timely article Oh the inherent feminine
love for all aristocratic forms. The
writer. Mr.. William S. Walsh, says:
American women are the enemies of
democracy, not only because they with
draw from democracy some portion Of
the wealth which is power, but because
they confer that same wealth, that same
power, upon an otherwise effete aristcc-
racy. Not content with allying herself
with foreign aristccracies, woman is fain
to introduce and to enforce psuedo aris-
tocracy into our own country. Now, if
woman is naturally and inevitably con-
sentative in temperament, what would
be the result of giving her an increased
power in affairs? What would the ballot
do for her and for man and for the cause
of progress which is dearest to the heart
Of man?''

THE result Of Secretary Carlisle's
offer OF one hundred million OF
bonds for gold by popular sub
scription, must be as gratifying
to the administration as it is
odifying to the public at large.
Over five times the amount OF gold
asked for was offered and that at a
good premium. The offer to en-
change gold for government prom
issory notes came not alone from
corporations, bankers and trust COM
panies, but from the masses. The
call for bonds has served the double
purpose Of replenishing the gold re-
serve. and emphasizing in no uncer-
tain manner the ability and readi-
ness Of the citizens of the United
States to sustain the credit of their
government no matter to what extent
their assistance may be required.

HIM, Give Him Relief at
Once--Never Known
to Fail.

Just little pain may so distract
mans mind that It will cost him
hundreds of dollars. Life is battle.
To succeed one needs all his ener-
gies and all his brain force to apply
to the question at hand. Even
corn will make him irritable, cross,
angry-and an angry man seldom
succeeds. The trifling pain of corn
is pleasant feeling beside the ago
nizing ache of piles. That is pain
which seems to pervade the whole
body. 1t communicates itself to all
the parts near the seat of the trouble
and brings on a heavy. dragging
feeling in the perineum. Those who
have never so suffered do not know
what it means. 1t racks the nerves,
prevents sleep, prevents concen-
trated thought and makes a man
lose flesh as fast as he would with a
virulent fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a
little thing. They are neglected
allowed to run from month to month
and year to year. By and by comes
a dangerous surgical operation.
Maybe it cures-maybe it kills.
There is only one sure. safe and
quick cure for piles. 1t is the PyI a.
mid Pile Cure. 1t is q recent dis
covery and its properties are such
that it cleanses, soothes. and heals
the intlamed parts, reduces the in
flammation at once and with con-
tinued treatment. removes all swell
