The rumor that Bezeleel Davis, the
successful man at the Fifth ward fight
for the Republican nomination for al
derman. had withdrawn and would not
allow his name to go before the voters

Davis stated that he has never enter

q good chance, he says: in fact, the
best chance of any of the three candi-

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE.
ro phvs;c;,n nud patient A,,ke,

Dir. Redmond, specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
in one respect; and that was, the in
stant relief experienced in all cases, no
matter how severe, from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had
carefully analyzed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it
is rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and contains no mineral or
other poisons so commonly used in pile
cures
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Py-
ramid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms of piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is the fact that anyone car
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation.

Pile Cure without an equal; it cured mt

Irving L. Tuttie is the complainant
in a case which was tried before Alder

interesting Facts About the Genes's 81
Spoois and Shoe Pegs.

"Oxford county, Me-. turns out near
ly all the spools on which the sewing
thread of this country is wound, " said
"a wholesale dealer in such articles to
the writer. "The spools are made from
white birch timber, aud they are pro-
duced by tho million in Oxford county.
There arc many other parts of western
Maine. also, where the industry is inn
portant There are numerous sawmills
In that part of the state which are kept
busy all the year round saving white
birch logs into strips feNt lJiig and
from to inches wide and of the same
thickness. These strips are sent to the
spool factories, where they are quickly
worked into spoOls by the most iugen.
ious labor saving machinery.
"The strips of white birch are fed in
TO one machine, and they are not touch
ed, in fact, are hardly seen again, until
the spools. all finished for market ex-
cept polishing drop out by the bushcl
from another machine several rods away
from where the strips started in. The
spools get their gloss by being rapidly
revolved in barrels turned by machin-
cry, the polish resulting from the con.
tact of the spools in the barrel.
"In the backwoods villages of Ok
ford county one sees scarcely any other
industry but spoolmaking, and every
person in the noighborhood is in some
way interested in the business The fac
tories have been eating into the Maine
birch forests for years, but there still
seems to be enough of the timber left to
feed the machinery for many years to
come Hundreds of thousands of feet Of
logs are cut aud sawed into spool tim
Der annually
"Shoe peg factories are also an i'm.
portant branch of business once pecul-
lar to Maine, although it has of late
been followed to some extent in other
eastern states and Is spreading To the
hard wood forests of northern Pennsyl-
vania. Maple is used largely in the
manufacture of shoe pegs, although
white birch is used mt some factories
Shoe pegs are sold by the bushel and
are worth all the way from 10 cents to
81 a bushel, according to quality. More
than $50, 900 was received by Maine
shoe peg factories last year for goods.
IA curious and profitable business
has grown up In the Maine woods near
the sawmills in the utilizing of the i'm
mense quantities Of sawdust by compress
sion. Thousands Of tons of this waste
material are bought for mere nothing
and are pressed into compact blocks and
bales. and in this form is finding a
ready market for kindling and fuel in
eastern cities. .'--Washington Star.
