COSTS HIM COLD ONE.
Proprietor of Chicago Great Northern
Attempts a Joke on a Drummer.

Chicago, Nov 3O-A few nights ago
Proprietor w. S. Eden of the Great
Northern hotel attempted a little anna
teur performance as a long or short
man in his own hosiery with such I'M
expected results that in all probability
he will in the future abandon the field
as one unSuited to his talents. A neck
wear drummer, with whom Mr.. Eden
was more or less acquainted, was stop
ping at the hotel. After he had opened
up his samples and spread them all
around the room, W. E. FOy, the drum
mer, invited Mr.. Eden, J. T. Hill and
Joseph Dimery to come up and inspect
the dazzling effects in winter neckties
Hill and Dimery told the hotel man
they though it would be a great joke to
make a lot of the necktieS nysteriously
disappear, providing the bOniface would
be the fellow to conduct the disappear
ing act. Mr.. Eden said that was good
idea and that he was strong on all
kinds of tricks and jokes and that he
would simply be delighted to absorb
several bushels of the ties.
While the other two men Engaged the
drummer in converse, Mr.. Eden sur
reptitiOusly slowed away the ties I'M
der his OVercOat. Finally after he con-
cluded he had on a full cargo he said he
must be going, and started for the
door. Mr.. Foy looked up to say Good
night" The drummer's eye CHANGED to
fall on the spot where a moment before
there had been an imposing array of
ties. 1t struck him that there had been
a rather remarkable shrinkage in neck
wear in a very few minutes. Then he
looked at the hotel proprietor just as
that gentleman was reaching for the
dOOrknOb. Mr.. Eden bore a strong re-
semblance to a fat man at a circus. His
coat bulged out in every direction, and
its buttons were about to throw up
their positions.
Hold on there a minute shouted
Mr.. FOy, and in a minute he had MI.
Eden by the collar. Then Messrs. Hill
and Dimery turned traitors, and taking
a hand with the drummer they assisted
to the best of their ability in searching
the suspect, and in two minutes they
took more ties out of him than could
have been extracted by the finest
magician in the country. All together
they pulled out 81 dreams of scarfs.
Then Mr.. Foy looked over his layout
and said he had them all but one, so
the three went at the searching of the
plunderer once more. But search as
long as they would they could not find
that particular tie, which was the finest
in the lot, and worth 81 so. And that tie
has never been found to this day. OF
course they did not think for a moment
that Mr.. Eden had the article, butt new
ertheless, the hotel man had to take
the three fellows downstairs and break
the largest and coolest bottle in the
house.

FOUL CHICAGO RIVER.
Persons Immersed Therein Must Face
the Typhoid Fever.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-There is a danger
which hOvers over every human being
who is immersed in the murl6y waters
of the Chicago river.
That danger is typhoid fever of the
most malignant type.
That the waters are always crowded
with the germs which produce this ter
rible disease, is beyond doubt. It fol-
lows, therefore, that all who fall there
in are exposed to the Infection which
may result in death.
Women seeking death by drowning
who contemplate and attempt suicide,
and who know that a plunge into any
water deep enough to cover their bod
les, means death, if rescued from a wa
terry grave are in imminent danger of
accomplishing their purposes by a
method of shutting off the mortal coil
not agreed upon when the attempt was
made.
There are two classes of persons who
get under the surface of that murky
river.
One. and by far the most numerous,
is the class tossed unwillingly and ac-
cidentally into it.
The other is the class weary of life
and willing to find rest in the grave
through any medium Offering the least
pain. So these misguided persons
throw themselves into the Chicago riv-
er.
To all such with a lingering hope of
rescue. the advice is given to find
some spot in the lake within easy reach
of a life boat, where the water is clean
and pure. The leap into the river
means the encountering of dangers
more terrible than suffocation.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ARMY.
Rev. Dr. Worden's Plan for CeIebrat-
ing Opening of the goth Century.

New York, Nov. 30.-Pev. DR. James
A Worden, superintendent of the Sun
day school department of the Presbyte-
rian church in this country, has begun
a movement to celebrate the opening
of the twentieth century.
His idea is to recruit the Sunday
school army of his church so that, in
stead Of I 600 900 members, as at pres
ent it viii consist of a host of 1,500, 900.
He wants this work Of enlisting the
500 600 of re-enfOrcementS completed by
April 1, 1901, the beginning of the
church year in the first year of the next
century.
He has worked out an elaborate plan
and has urged the prosecution OF a
vigorous campaign throughout the I'M
ion for the next four years. In a cir
cular he has sent out he says:
we have now about GOO. 900 Sabbath
school members in the Presbyterian
church. The proposition is to add
500, 900 to this 100000 and begin our &C.
clesiastical year April 1, 1901 with L.
500. 900 Sabbath school mem bers That
is, that every Sabbath school shall add
so per cent to it's membership within
the next four years. This means a
net increase of 1212 per cent Of addition
al members to be brought in each year,
or 125,000 members each year for the
entire church.
at is believed that these calculations
and figures are moderate and that it is
feasible before April 1901. for the Presby-
terrain Sabbath school workers to gath
er in the desired 500 000."

THE BOYCOTT AND BLACKLIST

UnappalIed by the recent court de-
cision outlawing the boycott, the labor
unions of Kansas City are using this
wea pom vigorously against large mer-
camille establishment at the mouth of
the Kaw While Judge Caldwell dis
scented from the other members Of the
court and declared that to deprive Ia
boring men of the use of the boycott
is to make slaves of them, he was in a
minority and judgment was rendered
against those who We're engaged in
contest with the OxleyStave company.
As if to show that the courts are not
always on the side of capital as is
sometimes charged, at about the same
time that the decision in the Oxley
Stave company case was promulgated
there came another one fully as import
ant and far reaching in the other direc-
ton It was that in which a railroad man
who had participated in the great A
r. [. strike and had been blacklisted
ever since, secured q judgment against
his former employers for a large sum
Thus were labor and capital deprived,
each of its most formidable weapon,
almost at the same time
Perhaps, after all there is no better
way to stop a war than to disarm both
combatants. 1t will not 90, however,
to take away the artillery and still
leave them with muskets and side
arms Once begun, the disarming
process should be prosecuted thorough
" and without Partially.
As long as one army is provided with
the Injunction and the other is not the
contest is unequal, and with the injunc-
ton in the hands Of both the contest
will never end.
Neither side will ever surrender and
acknowledge itself defeated. 1t will
probably ultimately become the bust
ness Of the people through the legisla-
tive or through the judicial department
of the government to place the armies
of both labor and capital hors du com
bat.
While blacklisting, boycOtting, strikes
and 1ockouts are always disastrous to
one or the other or both Of the parties
directly concerned, the general public
is often the greatest sufferer of all
from a pecuniary standpoint.
Efforts have been made from time
to time to provide a remedy in the form
of arbitration designed to take the
place of all these reprehensible methods
of carrying on the contest between
capital and labor, but so far nothing
satisfactory has been evolved. 1t is
not improbable that the matter will be
again taken up by congress at the ap-
preaching session.

CHICAGO'S BIG BUILDING.
New York Life Structure to be N early
Doubled in Size.

Chicago, Nov 30.-An annex to the
New York Life Insurance building will
be erected early in the spring in Mon
roe street on ground Immediately east
of the present structure. It will rival
the main building in equipment and
architecture and will be almost as
large. The syndicate headed by Henry
Phipps of Pittsburg, owning the pres
ent building, has just closed ground
leases for the three necessary holdings
in Monroe street.
The land just leased has a frontage
of 80 feet in Monroe street and is so
feet deep. The site of the present
building is 141 feet in Monroe street and
so feet in La Sale
The permit for the Improvement was
isued in 1898, the cost being placed at
$500 600. The material for the exterior
is a light gray granite for the first
three stories, and terra Gotta of a sim
liar color for the other nine stories and
attic.
No figures are given out as to the
amount of the yearly ground rental
paid by the syndicate which will build
the annex. The Lawrence property re-
ceives IS. 900 a year after the expiration
of the Marder, Luse & Co. lease. On
this basis the ground rental for the
three buildings will not be far from
$40 600 a year.

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
Surgical Operations for the Cure of
Piles and Rectal DiaeRses no
Longer Necessary.
A Medical Discovery which Will
Change the Treatment OF
All Such Diseases.


1t has long been thought not only by
some physicians but by people in gen
eral that the common, painful and ex-
ceedingly annoying trouble, piles, was
practically incurabIe by any other
means than a surgical operation and
this belief has been the cause of years
of needless suffering, because of the
natural dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford relief in cases of piles,
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only
preparation so far introduced that can
be reliably depended upon to cure to
stay cured, every form of itching,
bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs. M. c. Hinckley of 601 MISSISSIPPI
pi street, indianapolis. who was told
by her physicians that nothing but a
surgical operations costing between
500 and $500, could cure her as
she had suffered for IS years; yet even
in such a case as hers the Pyramid
Pile Cure accomplished a complete
cure She says: Il knew an operation
would be death to me and tried the
Pyramid with very little hope and it is
not to be wondered at that am so en-
thusiastic in it's praise"
Mr.. D. E. Reed of South Lyons, Mich.
SAYS I would not take $500 and be

years and it is now eighteen months

trace of the trouble has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
