Regent house and Congressman Nor
gan h. Williams at the Willard house.
Wednesday afternoon, after secur-
ing the necessary permission of the

impromptu concert at the new Ii
sbrary building. IT is estimated that
about 5000 people were in the place,
and their reception Of the singers was
a sort of ovation. Wednesday night
President Mckinley was serenaded at
the Ebbitt house, and a visit was
paid to the Washington Post building.

A PLAGUE OF THE night.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BYA
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
BY the Pyramid Pile Cure,

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is itch
ing piles, indicated by warmth. slight
moisture and intense, uncomfortable
itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eX-
pcCted from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
ing or protrudng. The first applCa-
tion gives instant relief and the con-
tnueu use for short time causes a per-
manent removal of the tunors or the
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a - time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure wes be-
cause it was supposed to contain cocoa
inc, opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful anal
ysis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutcly free from any Cocoaine. opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure eXten-
sively recommended by physicians, be-
cause it is so safe. so. prompt in the
relief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
| pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at sc
| cts. and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion
| Mich. for books on cause of cure OF
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
! from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles asF

THOUGHT IT WAS A BURGLAR.
An incident which afterwards
proved to be a "scare" happened Fri
day evening at the home of Charles
Watkins, 1908 Lafayette street While
Mrs. Watkins was absent for a few
minutes. her three little children We're
frightened by the appearance of
stranger. A passerby. hearing the
cries of the children, went in, and
being assisted by some of the neigh
bors, searched high and low for the
intruder. Their labors were reward
ed by the discovery of a half-burned
piece of paper in one of the sleeping
rooms upstairs. The presence of the
paper was a mystery to the members
of the family, and the crowd which
had gathered in the vicinity of the
house, expecting to witness the catch
ing of real burglar dispersed.

AN experienced prospector

AN experienced prospector
sent to Alaska to investigate
conditions and chances for get
ting a small party through this
year, has just returned to Seat
tie with a very dismal view of
the situation. He says that not
five per cent of those who have
started on the trail will get over
the divide, and the remainder
are mostly ignorant of camp life,
and hence are helpless in the
face of the hardships and dan
gers that confront them. The
governor of Alaska considers
the situation extremely critical
and will call the attention of the
government to the necessity for
adopting some measures, and ap-
plying them while navigation is
yet open. A little later on Alaska
will be a sealed book until next
spring.

TRUE to their nature, the Nc
Kinleyites are creating great
deal more buster over this Gu
ban affair than the Cleveland
ties did, but the fact remains
that they have not progressed
one inch further toward a final
settlement of the trouble than
the position reached by Presi-
dent Cleveland nearly year
ago. Whatever the outcome
may be, it must not be forgotten
that Mckinley begged the Dem
ocrats in Congress before he was
inaugurated to leave the status
of the case where the Cleveland
administration had carried it,
with the assurance that he
would continue the policy
out by the Democrats

The agricultural editor of the
Portland, (Me.) Express thus
answers a correspondent who
wanted to know how to keep his
neighbours hens out of his
garden: "Dear Correspondent:
Take a lot of small, stiff cards
about one by two inches; write
on them: ''Please keep your
old hen at home" Tie a short
string to each card, with a grain
of corn at the other end of the
string, and scatter them where
the hens congregate. When the
hungry biddy gobbles up the
grain that draws the prize, she
follows up the string, slowing it
away until she comes to the card.
Then she will pull out for home,
carrying in her mouth your
polite request. "

THE EVACUATION OF JACKSON

The Jackson correspondent Of
the Memphis Scimitar gives the
following account of the braye(?)
people of the capital city getting
out when the news of yellow fe-
yer at Edwards was received:
"wednesday about noon the
news was flashed over wire from
Edwards, a village of perhaps
/, 600 inhabitants, thirty miles to
the west, and on the line of the
Alabama G. Vicksburg railroad,
that the government experts,
Drs. Guiteras and Purnell, had
declared seven cases of genuine
yellow fever and several suspects
at that place. l have heard it
said that hell broke loose in
Georgia. and no longer doubt it
it broke loose here last We'd
nesday, and the sinners didn't
get out of town any faster than
did the fellows who sit in the
amen corner. Had Uncle Gabriel
bowed his trumpet there could
not have been any more
commotion than was occasioned
by the telegram from the State
board of health, informing Jack
son that the fever at Edwards
was yellow. This news had been
expected for a week or more, but
like other calamities, few were
prepared to meet it.
Once before jackson exper-
fenced just such a commotion,
and that was when the yellow
fever was announced in the city
in Sept. 1888, just ten years after
the epidemic of 1878, but they
got out no faster than they did
this time-such thing would be
impossible. Business men drop
ped their work, grabbed their
hats and made a break for the
street, where they engaged one
or more of the wagons or drays,
jumped in beside the driver and
struck a 2::40 clip for their homes,
tumbled a roll or two of bedding,
a couple of trunks, a few articles
of furniture and perhaps a cook
stove into the wagon, and ''lit
out" for the rural districts, never
stopping to think where they
were going to stop for the night.
Those who had made up their
minds to take the railroad has
tened to the quarantine station,
two miles north of the city, and
awaited the arrival of the train,
not due for hours, and were
whirled away toward the north, !
not knowing or caring where

The Monroe Doctrine.

A good many years ago Bob
Burdette was asked for a defini-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine,
and this is what he said /: "The
Monroe Doctrine simply and
implicitly says that, no foreign
nation can come over here and
slide down our cellar door; and
England and France shall not
hang on our front gate to do their
counting, and they can't bring
over their syrup pots and elder
sprouts and make syrup in our
maple groves; that Germany and
Austria can't spot no bee trees
in our woods that Italy can't cut
firewood out of our hedgerows;
that Russia can't spank our
neighbours children with our but
ter paddle. The Monre Doctrine
simply means that we are the
bull of the woods between two
oceans, and the man who joins
farms with US on either side had
better not move the boundary
until he talks with US about it,
and that he can't sublet a patch
on his farm until we are satisfied
that the new tenant will be a
good neighbor for US. That's
about all there is in it.
