Prom time to time he has represent
ed our presbytery in the general as
sembIy, where his counsel has been

At the centennial assembly Of 1888,

the memorial addre sses. and in 1890 he
was made a member of the committee
on the revision of the confession of
faith.
TN all these positions and duties,

usual degree all the graces and beau

has won the respect of the world and

MAIN WITNESS GONE.
No One to Prosecute an Alleged
Robbery Case.


When the case of Pearl Smith and
Myrtle Howard, the colored women ac-
cused of robbing James Fitzgerald of
$25, came up in the municipal court
yesterday, the police performed what
has become regular function in cases
of alleged confidence men and strong
arm workers, and asked for con-
tinuance on the ground that the prose-
cutting witness had disappeared. The
case went over until next Wednesday,
but the women will likely be numbered
among those who are giving the au-
thcrities the laugh, as it is said. F1tz-
gerald has left town. The assistant
county attorney pretended to be dis
gusted with the manner in which wit
nesses are spirited away as this feature
of freeing prisoners in the police court
has obtained with significant regular
ity during the past year.
Attorney McGhee objected strongly
to the continuance of the Smith
woman's case yesterday, claiming that
the constitutional right of hearing
within a reasonable time after arrest
was being violated AS the court did
not uphold this position, however, At
tcrney McGhee Immediately, after the
request of the prosecution was grant
ed, procured a writ Of habeas corpus
which will be heard today. The de-
cision on the writ will be OF Importance
as it's object is in the nature Of test
on the practice of holding prisoners in
jail undue lengths Of time by rear
raigning them each day and contlnu-
ing the cases.

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A. NEW DISCOVERY WHICH is
WORTH THAT MUCH
ro Anxone Amicted with Piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new,
painless remedy which has been so re-
markably successful in curing every
form Of piles and rectal diseases has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and it is safe to say that when Its
extraordinary merit becomes FULLY
known, there will ne no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure OF this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, of 60f Mississippi
ST.. Indianapolis Ind, says: had been
a terrible sufferer from piles for 10
years and no remedies benefited me,
Until I saw an advertisement Of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; l got package,
also package of Pyramid Pills and
used both according to directions. l
was astonished at the immediate relief
obtained and now 1 honestly believe
the Pyramid to be the only certain
cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad was,
I will say that l was confined to my
bed and went before the college phySi-
clans here who said my case was new
one to them and wanted seven or eight
hundred dollars to undertake cure;
the great pain had brought on rup-
ture, and l 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 feel that I 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 I
weighed but about 80 pounds. now l
weigh $50 and feel in perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing eff
feet from the first application. and the
moderate price places it within the
reach of every one needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 80 cents and $1.00 per package
and the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per
box.

NEAR SELBY AND DALE
VIII the Hill Branch of the Post
office Be Located.

Postmaster Smith said yesterday
afternoon that his plans for the es-
tablishment of a branch postoffice on
ST. Anthony hill would remain in an
uncertain stage until Capt. H. A. Cas-
tie, of the postoffice department. had
considered them and reported TO the
authorities at Washington.
"My idea is to locate the branch In
some central place along the line OF
the cable road" said Mr. Smith. This
station would be fully equipped with d
superintendent, an assistant and prop
ably two clerks. and it would be run
wholly independent of the main office nee
other than to be, of course, under the
nostmasters direction. This branch
would be headquarters for about TWEEN
ty carriers and it's district on the Hill
would include all of that territory ne-
tween Summit and Lexington avenues.
The corner of Selby and Dale streets
is about the most central location in
that section and the branch, II es-
tablished, will be located in that Vlcln-
