believe In Annual Elections.

Boston, Jan. c9.-The Boston Central
Labor union celebrated the defeat of
the biennial resolve with a banquet last
night. The leaders of Democracy and
some 125 members Of the union we're
present. President Henry Lyons pre-
sided. Beside him in seats of honor
sat Ex-Governor Boutwell,. Hen. G. +.
Williams, George T.. Mcneil. Gamaiio
Bradford Major Henry Winn. Frank X.
Foster and Raymond l.. Bridgeman.
Spirited addresses We're delivered, the
tenor of the remarks being in condemna-
tion of the biennial system and in hearty
sympathy for the annual election. The
sentiment of the meeting was that the
officehoider could not be kept in too
close touch with the people. and by this
perpetuation of the annual election,
Boston would be keeping in harmony
with the old form of government.

Mutual Life Wants Receiver.

Boston, Jan. 29.-A bill in equity,
brought by Insurance Commissioners
Merrill. against the Eastern Mutual Life
Insurance company. is in the Suffolk
supreme court. 1t asks that receiver
be appointed to wind UP the company's
affairs. the receivership is sought 1T
the instance Of the company itself. Tie
company Is financially sound, and the
reason given for wishing to close up
its affairs is that, the prospects for the
patronage of mutual companies in the
future being bad. the officers of the
company thought it expedient and wise
to ask that it's affairs be wound up, and
thereby obviating the likelihood of an
assignment upon the policy holders.
which seemed probability in case the
business of the company is long con-
tinued.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder troubles
as the men. The womb is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, and for that
reason any distress, disease or inconvenience
manifested in the Kidneys back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours a sediment or settling is
evidence that your kidneys and bladder need
doctoring. If you have pain or dull aching
in the back, pass water too frequently, OF
scanty supply, with smarting or burning
these are also convincing proofs Of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored without
benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root the
great kidney remedy. The mild and the
extraordinary effect will surprise you. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures. If
you take a medicine you should take the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free by mail Mention EVENING HER
AID and send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Ringhamtop, n. Y. The proprietors of
this paper guarantee the genuineness of this

CONNECTICUT ELEcTIoNs.

Educational Qualification For Voters
Has an Overwhelming Majority.
New Haven, oct 5.-Connecticuts
'llttle town" elections were held yes
terday and while in some sections Of
the state there were surprising turn
overs, the results show that the change
from the vote of year ago is not
great. The indications are that the Re-
publcans generally held their own,
making enough slight gains in numer-
Gus places to counterbalance the larger
Democratic gains in few towns. The
constitutional amendment which pro-
vides that voters must be able to read
any portion of the constitution and
statutes of the state, and must also be
able to write, was passed overwhelm-
ingly License prevails generally, and
few of the towns changed their posi-
tion on the liquor question. In New
London Cyrus c. Beckwith, a Demo-
crat, won out handily in the mayoralty
contest and the town went Democratic,
Middletown experienced a Dempcratic
sweep, as did Norwalk and South
Norwalk.

One Of the most radical free trade
papers in America is the Philadelphia
Record. In the issue of that journal
Sept IL the following editorial admis-
sion is made of the benefits already
being derived from the passage of the
Dingey bill:
Leading dry goods merchants Of
New York say that there has been
nothing like the present boom in that
line since 1892, and that the year bids
fair to break all records in the amount
Of sales. Exuberant as such express
sions might ordinarily seem, they can
not be deemed extravagant in view of
the fact that reports Of New York trade
unions show an increase since one year
ago Of "a per cent In the number Of
men at work, and a similar increase
among men in like position throughout
the country would exceed 100000, while
every week adds many establishments
to the active list There need be no
question as to the stability Of a pros
perity based upon the agricultural re-
sources of the country and a steadily
increasing employment Of it's labor"

IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH IS WORTH
THAT MUCH.
TO Anyone Aalioted with Pileg.

The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new, painless
remedy which has been so remarkably sue
cessful in curing every form of piles and
rectal diseases, has recently been placed on
sale at druggists and 1t is safe to say that
when its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known. there will be no such thing as sur
gica. operations for the cure Of this obstinate
and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkly, of COL Mississippi st.,
indianapolis, Ind, says I had been a ter
nble sufferer from piles for 10 years and no
remedies benefited me, until saw an ad-
vertisement Of the Pyramid Pile Cure; got
q package, also a package of Pyramid Pills
and used both according to directions. I was
astonished at the immediate relief obtained
and now honestly believe the Pyramid to
be the only certain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad l was, will
say that I was confined to my bed and went
before the college physicians here who said
my case was a new one to them and wanted
seven or eight hundred dollars to undertake
cure; the great pain had brought ON a
rupture, and knew an operation would be
death to me on account Of blood poisoning
Nearly every one here knows Of my terrible
suffering from piles and l feel that ! cannot
praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough and the
Pyramid Pills also. My husband will join
me in highly recommending the Pyramid,
my daughter was cured by one box only
For several years l weighed but about 80
pounds, now weigh l5O and feel in perfect
health
This seems to be the universal testimony
Of every sufferer from piles who have ever
tried the Pyramid it is the safest, most
painless pile cure yet discovered contains no
opiate, morphine, cocaine or any poisonous
ingredient whatever, has a soothing, healing
effect from the first application, and the
moderate price places it within the reach of
everyone needing treatment. The Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 80 cents and
S1.OO per package and the Pyramid Pills at 20
cents per box.

free book on cause and cure Of piles.

Thursday, the day of the parade, the
Columbia Hose Company will be in

without saying that they will present
a fine appearance. The citizens of
Shenandoah are proud of their vol

together for a public purpose these
men serve the interest of the town
without pecuniary reward, and they
do it as cheerfully in winters blasts
as in the heat Of summer. They
should be supported in every under
taking, as it is a matter Of public in

AN APPALLING CALAMITY
Fifteen to Twenty Thousand People
Drowned I'm China.

Tacoma, Wash, oct. 5.-The steamer
Victoria brings news Of the most dis
astrous floods that have visited China
for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chow, containing over $4,000 in
habitants, have been destroyed by
floods, and the people drowned or
forced to flee. There is no means of
finding out how many thousands have
been drowned, but the number is es-
timated by Chinese authorities at 49,
600 to 20, 900.
The flooded district is within - miles
of Peltin, the capital of China. AS a
rule Chinese officials make very little
| stir when a calamity like this happens,
| but the proximity of the disaster has
! resulted in it's being brought to the at
tention of the emperor, who has or
dered that all possible relief be given.
Survivors from the village nearest
Pellin have been allowed such shelter as
they can find on the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain, which continues to
fall

ne Miners Organizlng.


Prior to and since the termination
of the miners strike in the Lehigh
region, President Fahey, of the
United Mine Workers of America,
has been very successful in organic
ing the men in that region He has
placed a branch of the Organization
in almost every town and hamlet in
that section of the anthracite region.
and is continuing the good work. The
men now realize that to properly
combat the operators with a view to
a settlement of the grievances it is
necessary to organize. 1t is not a
matter Of choice, but necessity drives
them toit. In no other way can they
expect to secure redress. This was
the universal sentiment of the several
thousands of employees of the Lehigh
and Willkesbarre Coal Company, who
met at Wilkesbarre on Saturday to
discuss the best means of remedying
the grievances they claim exist
From the newspaper reports it is
learned that the meeting throughout
was characterized by good order and
sound Judgment, and the absence Of
vituperative denunciation and rant
ing appeal on the part Of the speak
ers was agreeably conspicuous. In a
clear and incisive way the grievances
of the men were stated, one speaker
saying, ''To-day we are scattered, and
what is the result? We are now OBJ
liged to beg from the company what
we should demand as a right. II we
b were properly organized this would
not be, and we should organize and
form union, for in union there is
strength. There is no use trying to
get justice the way things are now,
because at present were we to declare
a strike there would be three men to
take the place Of every one that quit
work"
The grievances specifically stated
at the meeting are charged against
the Lehigh Valley and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company, but they probably
exist at most of the collieries in that
region. They are Excessive and un-
fair docking, by which the men are
compelled to mine a large per cent.
Of coal for which they receive no
pay excessive charges for powder,
one of the speakers alleging that the
company pays only 81 per keg for
powder for which the miners are
charged 50. 75 and the third and most
obnoxious one is the company store.
This is the miners side, and from
their standpoint their grievances APP
pear to be just They see in organi-
zation the only hope of redress. The
sentiment of the men was expressed
by one of their number in this
manner: "There would be no neces-
sity for organization or strikes in
this valley if the operators would
only treat us fairly. Iffuture trouble
is to be averted in these great coal
valleys, the operators must abolish
the dishonest docking system and
nav us for all the coal we honestly
mine; they must either sell us powder
at the usual dealers profit or let us
buy powder where we can to the best
advantage they must either sell us
the necessaries Of life at the regular
market rates, or permit us to deal
where we please. We will not much
longer consent to be robbed at all
points
The miners have presented their
side Of the case, and what are the
operators going to do about it Pub
