BRADLEY MARTIN BALL
Scenes of Royal splendor Repro-

IT WAS A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.

All the Great Men and Women Of the
Last Three Centuries Represented-Po-

New York, Feb. 11.-Beautiful be-
yond description was the bal masque
Of Mrs. Bradley Martin last night. COL
umns have been written about the af-
fair and pictures have been drawn, but
the fancy of the reporter and the artist
did not picture scenes one-half as love-

For weeks Mrs. Martin has worked
in the preparation of the sumptuous
affair Her efforts were richly reward
ed The bitter criticisms hurled at her
were forgotten, and the hundreds who
were present WED in making her the
happiest women in America.
The decorations throughout the Wal
dorf were exquisite. Never in New
York has a greater floral display been
made at a ball. Tiny electric lights
and mirrors were used in a bewilder-
ing and artistic manner, all combining
to transform the already beautiful ho-
tel into an enchanting fairy house.
more beautiful than was ever dreamed
of In fairyland. The rare old tapes
tries added a charm that cannot be
imagined.

tested to their fullest, but with excel

Pyramid Pile cure Cures Piles Quickly,
Pain1essly, without Danger.

People 90 along for years suffering with
piles. They try this and that and the other
thing from carrying a buckeye to getting
treatment from physician They obtain
temporary relief, maybe but they are never
quite cured A little strain in lifting ex-
ccssigc fatigue a little constipation or a little
diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much, hut
they Danish sleep and appetite. No position
is comfortable. There is intense local pain
and that dreadful feeling Of weight in the
perineum
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale win afford temporary re-
lief If the case of long standing there is
only one speedy and sure remedy. It is
Pyramid Pile Cure Even in light cases it is
the safest thing to use. Other applications
may cure and may not, Pyramid Cure is al
ways certain, always reliable always brings
comfort ut once. It's prompt use saves
months Of eevere suffering. In extreme
cases it will save surgical operations and
their attendant dangers and discomforts
1t is better than a knife. Win cure easier,
quicker and safer Thousands have used it,
Thousands have been cured by IT, The cost
is tri1ing compared with what it does. Tho
price is 80 cents Most anybody would
gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be Benefaotor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free but
sometimes a man so OyerhOws with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered
IL is upon this principal that resident of
Kalamazoo Mich, desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
of any form of nervous debility relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vgor. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment it would
seem tlat any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
such a remedy at once. A request to IL. G.
Olds Box 1712, kalamazoo, Mich, stating
that you are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving ii a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr. Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send to Mr.. Olds 50 that he may know
how you came to write him. 12-2s-78t

Secretary Alssr is giving much study
to the best mems Of getting in supplies
10 the miners IN the Yukon and has de-
cided 10 ask bids for ;he delivery Of stores
directly at Dyea. Skagway or Chilkat.
Already a great deal Of rivalry has sprung
up among towns on the Pacific coast for
the honor % being the shipping port OF
tine stores and .he business that will fol
low. and by requiring the bidders to de-
liver their goods directly in Alaska, the
war department will be saved the ueees-
sliy of making 3 cnoic2 among them.
Secretary Alye-'s estimate nov is that
no less than 10000 pounds OF food stcrVS
will be required for the expedition. This
makes the transportation problem a very
serious one. 1t is estimated tnat rein
deer cannot be safely loaded with more
than 800 pounds. so that no less than one
thousand Of these animals would ht re-
quired "a q PACK train If they were the
sole reliance.
one question that has engaged the az

for the pass1s> Of the relief eNpedNi7u
over that part of the Canadian territory
which must ne,sss lrily be tr'versed IN
reaching the miners. 1t will be necessary
to obtain permit for the military eNpe-
dition to pass. and also to secure the
remission Of duties.

Alger will go himself to Ottawa in few
days and deal directly with the Cana
