good move, and though it will
temporarily interfere with travel

BLISS OF SHORT SKIRTS.
New York Rainy Day Club Go About
With Free Hands.

New York, Jan. 9.-Men stopped to
observe with admiration, and women
with envy, a lady shopping on Broad
way yesterday. She wore a dark dress,
the skirt of which reached ankle length.
Both arms were free. She carried a
parcel under her left arm and her UNI
brella with her left hand. The right
hand was all her own to use. to open
doors, to push back a stray lock that
the wind sent into her eyes and to shift
the parcel into position occasionally
She was Mrs. Gertrude Andrews. a
member of the Rainy Day club. She
was not the only member who was out
either. Mrs. Herbert Knowles paid some
informal calls in a very handsome
gown, which is cut so that when she
goes up the elevated stairs, she doesn't
have to tuck her umbrella under her
arm and take half her packages by the
strings in her teeth in order to have
both hands to pick up her skirt free.
Half the women who are seen climbing
the filthy Il" stairs on a wet day look
like professional scorchers in training
Miss Ida Van Cortlandt, the actress,
was out shopping in her rainy day
dress. Il don't know what I should do
without it, now" she said. 1T is so
comfortable to be able to walk without
clutching hold of my skirts, and then
when l get home and look at the bot
tom of my skirt and find it is actually
dry and doesn't need a new braid, /
feel as if it were something too good to
be true

bureau seems to have a little the best
of the argument. but the opposition has
by no means given up the contest.
The plan for publishing of adver-
Using matter in the monthly bulletins
originated with Mr.. Clinton Furnish,
director of the bureau, soon after his
appointment by Secretary Gresham. At
that time the contributions for the sup
port of the bureau by the United Staes
and other governments responsible for
its existence were not sufficient to
meet the exalted ideas of Mr.. Kurdish
as to the scope of the bureaus work,
and he planned the publication of adj
vertiSing to increase the revenues. He
considered it a perfectly legitimate
transaction and proceeded to put it in
to execution upon his own RESPONSE
bility. He found many merchants will
ling to embark in the enterprise.
Contracts were made, accordingly,
and every arrangement was made for
the appearance of the advertisements
in the next issue of the Bureau Bulle-
tin, even to the setting up of the ad-
vertisements. when the matter was
brought to the attention of Secretary
Gresham. The scheme met with the
most emphatic disapproval of that Off
cial, and he put his foot down upon it
hard. 1t was revived during his adj
miniStratiOn but that it had merely
been in a state of suspended animation
was proven soon after by the efforts
made to secure its approval by Secre-
tary Olney.

On this occasion when the character

are comn1emOrated, the landmarks of
Democratic faith should be distinctly
pointed out. At such a time it should
be impressiVely taught that Democracy
is not disorder; that its regard for pop

only a portion of our people; that its
does not mean a petulant challenge of
the duty of civic obedience; that it's
aggressiVeness does not mean class

COMMON SENSE CURE.
Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles
Permanently by Curing
the Cause.
Remark able Remedy Which is Bring
ing Comfort to Thousands of
Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. It is one of
the commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have it for
years and just because it is not imme-
diately fatal they neglect it. Careless
ness causes no end of suffering. Care
lesSneSS about so simple q thing as
piles has often caused death. Hemor-
rhageS occur from no apparent cause
and loss of blood causes death. HemOrr-
hayes occur during surgical treatment,
often causing death
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, quickly, surely and COM
pletely. There is only one remedy tn t
will DO it=Pyramid Pile Cure.

ately, heals the irritated surface and

cure is thorough and permanent.

WAS A BRYAN OVATION.
Banquet of Jacksonian Club of Omaha
-Overmyer Couldn't be Present.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 9.-The annual
banquet of the Jacksonian club of this
city was held at the Paxton hotel last
evening. The banquet was really an
ovation to William J. Bryan. with
few speeches by other Democrats to
add variety to the occasion
When the distinguished guest of the
evening rose to address the people
present, his reception was to the high
est degree enthusiastic. He paid a tri-
butte to the Populists as being the pio-
neers of the movement for government
al reforms and cOmplimented the Re
pUblicanS who left their party and VO-
ted the Democratic ticket. He express
ed pleasure over the result of the cleo
ton in this state, but did not attribute
that result to the fact that Nebraska
was his home, but rather to the fact
that there was such complete harmony
among all the forces which made up
the fusion here He saw in it lesson
for other states, and said that when
they had the same amount of educa-
ton on the principal subjects in the
Democratic platform as Nebraska had
had, and the same perfect harmony
among the people supporting those
questions, victory would come to their
party in the nation.
