ut will probably surprise you to KNOW
sald Mr. William +. Benton, OF Buffalo, at
the National last night, that there are
only four portsin the world having greater
commerce by water than Chicago and Buf-
folo. These are London, Liverpool, iafn-
burg and New York, and they are open
for shipping the entire year, while nayi-
cation Oh the lakes is closed for four
months in the winter season. The fact
tGat the SEQ Canal has far greater traf-
fic than the Suez also demonstrates the
enormous activity on the lakes. Tie net
registered tonnage of vessels putting
through the 500 Canal during a season OF
less than eight months in 1895 was 49,
500, 600, In round numbers, while the SueZ
Canal carried only 100000 tons during
the entire year.
Facilities for transportation and Inn
provement In handling freight are fully
commensurate with all requirements, and
the lake service row amounts to one-third
as much as that OF all tue railways In
the United States combined.
II think that Ultimately the ambition
of the people must be realized, namely,
that of resching the Atlantic either by
the St Lawrence or the Hudson, so thai
ships loaded with eargoes from the heart
OF this continent may be sent to any sea
port in the world"

A SAVAGE CRITICISM.
From The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In one OF the public school rooms OF the
primary grade the teacher has been reading
Longfellows "Hiawatha" to her pupils. or
course this is a rather ambitious work for the
little ones, but they enjoy II, ana the rnytnn
seems particularly pleasing to them. When
they come to hard word the teacher goes 10
the blackboard and draws picture to illus
trate its meaning. This the pupils find highly
entertaining and it helps in quite remarkable
way to fix the text III their minds.
a few days ago they came to this line IN the
early part OF the poem:
AT the door on summer evenings sat the little
Hawatha."
"At-th' door-on summer evenings sat tn

"Co on" said the teacher.
But they didn't go on. The name OF Hia-
watha was too much for them. They knew VINO
Hiawatha was, but they didn't recognize his
name SO the teacher went to the board and
took considerable pains in drawing

One Cause of sleeplessness That Can Be
Readily Overcome.
Mr.. VIM. Handschu, of Fifty-sixth
St, Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa.
expresses himself as follows regarding
the new remedy for that common and
obstinate disease, piles: 81 take pleas
ure in stating that I was so afflicted
with piles that for three months I got
no regular sleep; I became completely
Frustrated the doctors did me no
good; my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile
Cure; I purchased from my druggist
three SO cent bottles and they COM
pletely cured me. / am once more at
my work, and but for this excellent
medicine | should be on my back I
take great pleasure in writing this let
ter because so many people are suffer-
ers from this trouble who, like N.Y.
self, did not know where to look ior
permanent, reliable, safe cure
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
cure in the past three years has dem
onstrated to the medical profession, as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most ef-
fectual cure ever offered to the public,
containing no opiates or poisops of
any kind, painless and convenient to
handle, and being sold by druggists at
90 cents and 81 per box, is within the
reach of every sufferer
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made complete cure OF chronic
cases that had not yielded to ether
remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles and it is
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous poisons, to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has super
ceded all these Intellectual remedies and
no one suffering with any rectal trou-
Die make any mistake in giving the
Pyramid trial.
II in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co..
Albion, Mich, for a valuable little
DOCK on piles, describing all forms OF
the disease and describing the method
of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pvra-
MD Pile Cure, as it is the best known
anu most popular remedy for piles
and if you ask him he can doubtless
refer you to many people in your Vi
entity who have been cured completely
by it.

The congregation of the First Bap-
fist Church held a meeting last night
and voted to cali Rev. S. G. Reading
Of Williamsport, Pa, to hold series
of revival meetings in October. They
are expected to excite considerable in
fuence in the community and will be
made unusually interesting. The Rev.
Mr.. Reading has been called to the pas
torate of the First Baptist Church here
and although he has declined once the
congregation is hopeful of presuading
him to reconsider. He is bright
scholar and an able preacher.
The church is being painted and
thoroughly repaired, but the work will
be completed in time for the COM
mencement of the meetings. This edi-
fifice has not been painted for twelve
years, and at present needs another
covering badly. The building, with its
large columns in front, represents a
style of architecture that was common
in the early years of the century, but
is now seldom seen in this section. 1t
is the oldest church structure in the
city, having been buiB. in/1S36. 1t was
erected in that year by the st. Mat
theW's Episcopal congregation. 1t was
purchased by the Baptists in 1866, and
has since been occupied by them 1t
is a commodious building and has ac-
commodated as many as 1,400 people,
There is an interior gallery, which al
though seldom used, was always Occu-
pied during former pastorates. In this
church some of the most prominent
men of the country have lectured.
