Maury Comfy Teachers Association.
The Maury County Teachers
Association held its regular month
ly meeting at McCain's Academy,
Saturday, October 8.
Only those who have once known
the admirable people of McCain's
vicinity, can know what it was to
have been present at that meeting.
We were especially pleased to see
so many of the citizens present and
hope that their interest will lead
them to be present at many of our
meetings. The meeting was called
to order by the President, and Rev.
Mr.. Roam led in an earnest and APP
propriate prayer, after which Rev.
M. E. Gabard most heartily well
coined the association to McCain's.
Several very interesting and in
structive talks were made.
Mr.. T. N. Figuers' talk on Public
School Dignity" was as practical as
it was good.
Mr.. r. V. Kennedy's talk on
Training" showed that he had
given the subject careful and
thoughtful study.
Miss Ethel Bryant very kindly
favored the Association with reci-
tation, which was greatly enjoyed.
The following program was an
nounced for the next meeting, after
which the Association adjourned to
meet at the Andrews Building

RusslA's AMBITION.

Tho Turko- Grecian War May Result
I'm Extending Her Privileges.
London June 1.-The correspondent
Of The Standard at Constantlnople tel
egraphs that the prevelant opinion
there is that Germany is playing q
bold game in order to force Russia to
declare openly either for or against
Turkey.
According to a dispatch to The Daily
News from odessa, there is revival
of the report that Russia is ncgotiat-
ing with Turkey to get a port in the
Mediterranean. 1t is also rumored that
when peace between GreCe and Turkey
is concluded Russia viii demand the
exclusive privill ee Of free passage for
her fleet through the Bosphorus and
the Dardenelles.
The correspondent of The Standard
at Athens says The Greeks are great
ly encouraged by the rumor that a
navy contractor named Kolla has re-
celvcd an order to provision the Brit
ish fleet Of forty men of war to be
concentrated at Phalaroum.
The Athens correspondent Of The
Times urges the powers to make a
speedy and firm statement as to the
Cretan difficulty and to insist upon
Turkish evacuation, after which, he
says, the Cretan chiefs would be will
ing to accept autonomy. If, on the con
trary, Turkey is allowed to send more
troops TO Crete there win be re-
newal Of the horrors of 1SGG-6S.

II. Phillips, proprietress of the Kennett
House on Ocean avenue, was shot and

band, Robert HILBERT, in the kitchen
of her home yesterday Mrs. Phillips,
is 49 years of age, a widow, and has
three children, the eldest Of whom is
about the same age as HILBERT. The
latter is a mechanic. The woman and
HILBERT became acquainted in Kennett
Square, Pa, three years ago, and since
that time have preserved the most in
innate relations. They were to have
been married today. Yesterday he en-
tered the kitchen where she was en-
gagged, and telling her it was time tC
quit shot her four times, lie then at
tempted suicide, but a defective cart
ridge foiled his purpose. Mrs. Phillip.
forced the officials to promise her that
they would not hang Hilbert Should
she die.

THE extensive immigration to this
part of the country, especially from
Italy, may be attributed to steamship
agents, to great degree. 1t is said
that these agents are circulating
among the people in Italy and in
forming them that this may be the
last chance for years to reach Amer
lea, if ever, on account of the new
laws to be enforced by the Mckinley
administration. Those who have any
idea at all of immigrating to this
country secure a ticket Immediately
and desert their perhaps comfortable
homes and dear ones to come here.
This scheme has been worked success
fully ever since last fall and no matter
how their friends on this side protest
they are bound to cross the big pond.
The steamship lines are making a
harvest on the scheme to the detri-
ment of those people and the Ameri-
can public.

AT Harrisburg this week the Senate
will have before it the erevised bill pro
viding for the collection of interest
on state deposits. This is one of the
measures of reform which public
opinion emphaticaIly demands. The
measure has most of the features Of
the Stewart bill, which passed the
House. 1t provides that interest at
the rate of two per cent. per annum
shall be collected upon all state
moneys held in banks, excepting from
five active repositories, to be named,
through which the daily business is
to be transacted. In the case of
these five banks, two of which are to
be situated in Philadelphia, two in
Allegheny and one in Dauphin
county the ammended bill requires
each TO pay one per cent interest
upon daily balances, and that they
shall make all collections for the state.
These provisions are fair and reason
able, and their ought to be no OBJ
lection to the bill in its amended
.orm.

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers Prom Piles.

Va eNAASeSAn AA1AAl EAAbbs
DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study and
treatment of Piles and rectal diseases, re-
Gently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure,
the new discovery for the cure of piles. was
the most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect and that was,
the instant relief experienced in all cases, no
matter how severe, from the moment the
remedy was applied this was the more sur
prising to him, because he had carefully
analysed 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
because it is so simple so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons so com
monty used in pile cures,
DIR, Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms Of
Piles, but never fails to give immediate relief
ON the first application, no matter how severe
the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at the instant re-
lief experienced from the first application.
Another important advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without doten-
tion from business or interference with daily
occupation. Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.
