Cleveland, o., Oct 21-The Hopkins
ordinance to reduce fare from cents
to practically cents on Senator Han
mas WoOdlawn avenue street car line
was knocked out in the city council
yesterday afternoon in a vote to re-
consider of IL to IL.
1t needed II votes to carry, and it
was expected Councilman Chase A.
Witzel would vote to reconsider. Wit
eel, when the ordinance was first lost,
voted against it.
Then at the next meeting he moved
to reconsider, saying he did not like the
ordinance, but would vote for it. be-
cause some one had said he did not
dare oppose the railways. Then that
meeting took a recess until Thursday
last, at which time Witzel was sick and
could not attend. Another recess was
taken until today and Witzel was
there.
Everyone supposed that he would
vote to reconsider, but he did not, and
voted against his own original motion
to reconsider, making a bitter speech,
saying some of the papers had bounded
him by saying his sickness was feigned,
so that now he would vote for the
measure anyway.
The way it turned out today was good
for Senator Hanna financially, but it is
generally thought bad for him political
ly. Councilman Hopkins will introduce
another ordinance just like that which
was lost next week and the fight will

And all other forms of this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af-
ficted with some sort of piles, without
either knowing the exact nature of the
trouble, or knowing it, are careless
enough to allow it to run without tax
ing the simple means offered for a rad
icaI cure.
The failure of salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led many
to believe the only cure to be a surgical
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful and at this time are no long
er used by the best physicians or rec
commended by them.
The safest and Surest way to cure
any case of piles, bleeding or protrud
ing, is to use the Pyramid Pile cure,
composed of healing vegetable oils, and
absolutely free from mineral poisons
and OpiateS. The following letter from
a Pitttsburg gentleman, a severe suf-
ferer from bleeding piles, gives some
idea of the prompt, eHectuaI character
of this pile cure. He writes:

GEORGE GOES TO BROOKLYN.
Immense Audiences Greet Him in
Two Places.

New York, Oct. PA Henry George
meeting in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music last night called forth an audience
which filed the big building to overflow
ing. The principal attraction was the
appearance in Brooklyn of Henry George
for the first time during the campaign.
Mr. George was received with tremend-
Gus cheering, at the conclusion of which
he began an address that was interrupted
repeatedly by prolonged applause. He
made his customary appeal to the true
Democracy in the name of Thomas JEFF
ferson.
a second meeting was held in the Cler-
mont avenue rink, Brooklyn, where an
immense audience was addressed by Mr..
George and Tom L. Johnson of Ohio.
Seth Low addressed large meeting in
Flushing The executive committee of
the Manhattan Democracy unanimously
Endorsed the Citizens union ticket and
issued an address to the people giving the
reason for so doing.
The Stockler Democracy has polled 3O'-
900 votes and is composed principally OF
Germans.
The breach in the Henry George ranks
caused by the refusal of the United De-
rnocracy to indorse the Citizens union
and the Jefferson Democracy ticket and
later Georges refusal to allow his name
to appear at the head of the Democracy
ticket was widened last night.
