WHAT YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has its
Special Disease.

It is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
in others. That each occupation has
it's attendant physical weakness. Engl-
neers, railroad men and similar Occu-
patiOns suffer mostly from kidney trou-
bIes and men who are often exposed
to the weather suffer from rheumatism.
while clerks and professional men, in
fact the army of people whose business
keeps them indoors, are OItenJlfneS
great sufferers from piles and cOnSt1pa-
tion. In this connection the following
letter is of interest to people whose Oc-
cupatiOn Will not allow Sunclent OUT
door exercise.
Mr. A F. Calhoun, notary public and
Jew eIer and matchmaker of Cfrcleville,
w. Va, writes as follows:
1 have been severe SuHerer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago l saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
#
I was badly afflicted when I got it,
but after only two applications the
piles disappeared and from that day to
this have never felt symptom OF the
disease.
I feel that I cannot recommend them
to highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe. pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at so cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and its reputa-
ton as a safe and radical cure has only
resulted from the personal recommend
alton of people who have been cured of
this distressing ailment.
Send to the Pyramid Co, Albion,
Mich, for valuable little book on cause
and cure of piles.

AN INSANE ASTOR.
Amelie RiVes' First Husband is
i'll an Asylum.

New York, Oct. 14.-John A. Chanler,
the divorced husband of Amelie Rives,
a great grandson of John Jacob Astor,
is reported to be insane in the Bloom
ingdaIe asylum.
Mr.. ChanIer left the city suddenly
last spring and it was said by his
friends that he had gone to Europe.
The fact has leaked out that he is in
BloOmingdale under treatment It is
denied by his friends that Mr.. Chanler
is insane, or that his mind is affected in
the least. He was taken to Blooming
dale, the friends assert, to gain a
much needed rest and treatment for
nervous disorder. The affection of his
nerves and a general physical break
down were due, they say, to overwOrk
Harry Van Ness Phillips, his law
partner and close friend, said of his ill
ness today:
The report of Mr.. Chanler's insan-
ity is entirely unfOunded. 1 saw him
yesterday and cOnversed with him on
business matters, and he cOnversed in
a perfectly rational manner. His mind
is not affected in the least.
He was simply broken down in
health and went to this retreat for rest
and treatment. He is now much i'm
proved"
Mr.. ChanIer inherited an income
from the AstOr estate of more than
$4,000 year. He was educated at
Columbia and Rugby and has spent
majority in Europe.
He was a member of a number of
the most prominent clubs of New
York.
A communication from an officer of
the sanitarium says:
Mr.. Chanler was committed not be
cause of any overt act, but because of
the fear of his relatives that his men
tai condition might result at any time
in violent outbreak He was com
mitted to BlOOmingdale, rather than to
a more quiet private resort because of
the fear that a man of his determined
character could be kept in confinement
only by the most rigorous and syste-
matte supervision"
Soon after Mr.. Chanler's commitment
Senator David B. Hill, who has known
him for some time, paid him a visit at
BlOOmingdale. Senator Hill, after
long interview, decided that it would
be better not to interfere in the matter.
Mr. Chanler is subject to hallucina-
tiOnS,- one of which was the belief that
he had succeeded by will power in
changing the shape of his face and the
color of his eyes; believed himself to be
the reincarnation of Napoleon and that
he would make a great fortune by sys-
tenn of play at the Monte Carlo gamb-
ling tables. The affidavit upon which
he was committed averred that he was
a victim of the hallucinatiOns suggested
above, and Furthermore that there was
insanity in his family-an aunt having
at one time been insane.
Mr.. Chanler'S main grievance and
greatest objection to his commitment
follows:
He declares that he is a resident of
Virginia not of New York and that
his commitment is illegal in that way
He further alleges that he was Iured to
New York from Virginia. kidnap-
ped" is the term used-althOugh he ad-
mits that it was done by well meaning,
but misinfOrmed friends
Mr.. Chanler's relatives entertain q
belief that he will be removed from
BIoOmingdal possibly to go abroad, in
the hands of careful nurses and physi-
clans.

PEARY'S ESKIMOS
Cannot Understand Why it is so Hot
in New York.

New York, Oct. 14-About the most un-
fortunate people in the city yesterday,
Notwithstanding the pleasant weather
that prevailed, was the little band of Es-
kimos imported from Greenland by Lieu
tenant Peary, and at present housed in
the basement of the Museum of Natural
History at Eighteenth street and Cen
trail park, west.
They cannot quite understand how it is
that in the month when, in their northern
homes, all is darkness and ice and snow,
the sun persists in diffusing what is to
them such agonizing warmth. In con-
sequence the unfortunate little savages
have caught cold, or warmth. they do not
know which, but assuming that it is the
latter, their sole endeavor yesterday was
to keep cool.

POsTOFFICE OF HIS OWN.
Missouri Merchant in Uncle Sans
Clutches.

st. Louis, Oct 14-Deputy United
States Marshal Fox returned today
from Acorn Ridge, Stoddard county,
Mo-, where he arrested L. D. Robinson,
a wealthy merchant of that place. The
arrest was made a warrant charging
him with having established a pOstofice
at a place not designated or authorized
by the postmaster general He gave
BOND to answer to the charge before
United States Commissioner O'Bryan
at Poplar Bluff
The complaining witness is Miss Mat
tie Ross, 19 years old, the postmistress
OF Acorn Ridge Robinson was the
postmaster of the place during CleVe-
land.S term. His office was situated
IN his store, at which place all Of the
farmers went to receive their mail.
Some three months ago he was dis
placed by Miss Ross. The young lady
at once erected a stOTerOOm several
hundred feet from RObinSOn'S place and
began conducting a rival business.
she soon discovered that none of the
farmers came to her store, but they
continued to visit RObinSOnS place,
and that Robinson had secured orders
on MISS Ross from many persons for
their mail.
In this way, so it is charged, Robin
son secured nearly all of the mail of
the pOstoffice on these orders and took
1t to his store and from there diStribut-
ed it. As a result Miss Ross's store
was rarely visited and her sale of mer-
chandlse and stamps. two of the chief
revenues of the office, amounted to al
most nothing. She made known her
grievance to the government and Rob-
lnSOn' S arrest followed.

HUMANE SOCIETY MEETS.
Reports Submitted Show Gratifying
Results From its Labors-

Nashville. Tenn, Oct. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the American Humane society
began at Watkins hall today. There was
a good attendance and representatives of
the societies from many states We're pres

President Shortau recommended that
the papers read at the meeting of the

attention to the donation of Charles and
Anna Brown of Quincy, Ill, who gave

NEW YORK GERMAN VOTE.
George is Shown to Have a Good
Lead Over the Other Candidates


New York. Oct. 14-George, As, POI; Low,
4S.2S2; Van Wyck, 1909; Tracy 27,S71;
Gleason, 5000; total, 175,0OO These fig
ures, according to a very careful canvass
made by the New York Herald in con-
junction with the New Yorker Herold
form an accurate forecast of the strength
today among the German voters of the
five candidates for mayor of Greater New
York.
1t is estimated that 175,OOO German
Americans will participate in the first
election in the greater city next month.
The voters will play an important part
in the result of the great contest 1t is
not improbable in the light of former re-
suits, that this great body of citizens will
be the deciding factor in the battle of
the ballots, which is to be determined on
November 2.
The German-Americans went for Will
liam L. Strong in 1894 and he was elected
mayor. They went for the Tammany
candidate in 1895, and the Tiger won. If
the German vote should be cast with
equal unanimity next month, it is not
improbable that as go the Germans so
would go the election.
In view of these facts there has been
on endeavOr to obtain the real sentiment
of the German voters in the present con-
test. The canvass from house to house
indicates that the German vote will be
divided among the five mayoralty candi-
dates in this proportion: Henry George
28.115 per cent; Seth Low, 1850 per cent;
r. A. Van Wyck, 25165 per cent; Benja-
min F. Tracy, Is $50 per cent; Patrick ].
Gleason, 5000 per cent.

MARVELS OF LUXURY,
The New Carriages Built for Vice
President Hobart

New York, Oct 14.-When the four
carriages and harness which have been
finished in this city for Vice President
Garret A. Hobart shall have been ad-
Ged to the splendOrs of the national
capital perhaps Washington will have
no IuXuries of other nations to envy.
The landau is dark olive in the panels,
of light shade of green in the running
gear, the stripings of which are black
edged, and jet black in the back and
front. The leather, which is American,
is as brilliant as the varnish. The
cloth, of a drab color in a special pat
tern, blends splendidly with the lines
of the vehicle and its cOlOrs.
The cabriOlet is of this years shape,
with curves more graceful than ever.
The panels are olive, the running gear
lighter green and the back and front
black. The interior is in drab cloth
The lamps have silver mOuntings, and
the wheels rubber tires.
The brOugham has olive panels, a
lighter green running gear and a jet
black front and back. The lamps are
in silver mOuntings and the wheels fit
ted with rubber tires. 1t is imposing
graceful, solid and light.
The driving cabriolet, in maroon, with
carmine stripes, is built to be driven
by the Vice President or by his coach
man, on long excursions. The wheels
are fitted with rubber tires; the lamps
are silver mounted

COUNTY PAYS THE BILL.
Another Petty Quarrel Gets Into the
District Court.

A jury in the district court yesterday
upset one of the verdicts of Justice Chess
ney's court. 1t was one of the suits that
should never have been brought, but
which the officers of the law are so eager
to start because it makes costs.
J. F. Dremon and Dick Rankin of Sill
yer Lake quarreled and Rankin called
DremOn names. Dremon had Rankin ar
rested for disturbing his peace and he
was tried before a jury in Justice Ches-
ney's court and convicted. The case was
appealed and it took the district court
jury but a few minutes to acquit Rankin.
The county will have to pay the costs,
which will be in the neighbOrhood of $75.
Is this what deputy county attorneys
are appointed for? They get their fees,
and that is all they seem to care about.
The next legislature should abolish all
fee systems and substitute salaries.

in two years they have grown so strong
that they are now moving the county
