FOUR BOXES DID 1T.


Remark able Success Of a New pile Cure
People who have suffered for years
or months from the pain and incon-
Venience OF that common disorder
piles. will look with skepticism upon
the claims of the makers of the new
discovery for cure of all forms of piles,
known under the name of Pyramid Pile
Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are
such as to warrant the investigation
of any sufferer. As "A case in point the
Following letter speaks for itself:
Mr. Henry Thomas, of sub-station
No. ), Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio,
writes as follows:

any good. I read in Cincinnati of the

Pile Cure and I went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but told him that

have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to

mended it to several of my friends and
| am thankful to be able to write you
what good the remedy has done for
me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because ii contains no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind,
and because 1t is SO safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured i'm sur
prisingly short time with no incon-
venience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by
druggists at 80 cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
tiOn is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price of pills is 25
cents per package.

Mich. for little book on cause and cure
of piles; sent by mail free.

LACE OF INTRINSIC AND His1oRIcyAluE
G. K. McClanahan Purchased Thirteen
Feet of Exquisite Work for $4,000.

Mr.. G. X. McClanahan of Wash
linton, a guest at the Bradly-Martin
ball, purchased the day after the
ball, for $4,000, rare bit of old Irish
lace which has for generation
been in the Cooper family.
There is a little less than IL feet
of the lace and it has lain for years
in the safe of Colonel Payne in the
New York Times building, where it
was placed for safe keeping by Wal.
ter Cooper, the manufacturer of
printing ink.
In 1851, when Queen Victoria
offered prize of EOS for tbs best
exhibit of irish lace at the Crystal
paiace Exposition in London, this
specimen, the work of the poor but
skillful girls of Killmaule, took the
prize forwhich thousands competed.
At the exposition it was known as
the Cross McCarrick lace, and it is
still designated by that name. In
design it shows the rose, the sham
rock and thistle, interviewer with
ferns. The rose represents England,
the shamrock Ireland and the thistle
Scotland, of course. 1t is the only
known sample of Cross-Mc Carrick
lace Of its size in existence. The
piece is four and one-half yards in
length and one and one-quarter
yards in width.
United States Senator John Minor
Bolts of Virginia, man of large
wealth, visited the exposition of
1851. He fell in love with the
handiwork of those poor Irish girls,
bought the lace for 800 guineas and
brought it to Virginia. About that
time Julia Dean was leading act
ress in this country and she was
engaged to the son of Senator Bolts
colleague, United States Senator
Robert Y. Hayne (whom she after
wards married the fiery statesman
of South Carolina, whose debate
with Daniel Webster is part of his
tory. Senator Bolts, as token OF
regard to his friend, gave the lace to
Julia Dean as wedding gift. Her
marriage, however, proved unhappy
and after a life of many vicissitudes
the actress secured divorce, in Salt
Lake city Colonel Cooper is the
brother Of Walter Cooper of New
York.
Upon the death Of Mrs. Cooper,
in 1868, she left, among many other
things, large trunk which was sup
posed to contain only manuscript
plays and parts of plays which
composed the repertoire of the ia
NOUS actress. That trunk was
moved from city to city and town
TO town in the West for years with
the Coopers, and it finally fell into
the hands of Walter, who resur
rected the lace. That was IL years
ago. Since then Mr.. Cooper has
by diligent investigation, proved it:
sentimental and historic worth and
under extreme pressure, consented
to part with il for $4,000.

Even as smart a man as General
Alger Of Michigan, just chosen Sec
rotary of War by President-elect
Mckinley, and who has made sew
eral millions in the lumber business,
gets cheated when he goes to Ten
nessee to buy mineral lands. A
case in which General Alger appears
as plaintiff came up recently at
Chattanooga, Tenn, in the United
States Circuit Court. 1t seems sew
eral years ago General Alger bought
of one Anderson $4,000 acres of
alleged mineral lands in Franklin
county, Tenn. The agents who made
the sale represented the property
which General Alger bought as pos
sessing the richest deposit of coal
in the South. To deceive the pur-
chaser, they washed the hillside
lodges with black paint,i it is claimed,
and by this ruse, the plaintiff al
leges, he was induced to invest his
money-s144, OOO-in coal veins OF
great width. The blackened rocks
were made to look like coal. This
beats any reported case Of Sailing
