Washington. Jan. -. - Morgan took
the first opportunity offered yesterday
to get the senate floor with another
attack on ex-President Cleyeland as a
question of personal privilege. He
referred TO a dispatch from Princeton.

Morgan said that IL was well known
to some Of Clevelsnd's friends during

Mr.. Cleveland who will support me in

tended review Of Cleveland's connection
as president with Hawaiian affairs. in
the course Of which he denounced the
accrediting Of Special Commissioner
Blount 20 the government at Honolulu
as "A piece Of duplicity without para

Morgan reiterated his belief that
Cleveland was in favor Of annexation.

Princeton. y. J.. Jan. 25.-"It is one of
times that my position upon the Ha-
waiian question should be misunder-
stood" That H. the way ex-President
Grover Cleveland expressed himself
when shown the statement of Senator
Morgan relative to his position in the
senate yesterday. In order that there
could be no misunderstanding of his
position on the part Of the public he
authorized the following statement to

since the question Of Hawaiian annexa-

any one In public life who misunder-

had been said that I was partial TO the
former monarchy and desired TO see 4,
restored in order that I might treat
with IL for the purpose Of annexation.
How could have had such an idea IL I
regarded annexation as contrary to our
national policy. The same answer can
be mad. TO the statement that my op-
position to Hawaiian annexation was

Chicago, Feb. 12.-"Parson" Davies
has gone east to interest other man
ayers in a scheme of forming a prize
fighters trust. He will consult Tom
O'Rourke, william A. Brady, James A.

convince them that a trust would be
beneficial not only to them and the
fighters, but also to the public at large.
The trust is to be confined at first to
heavyweights-not to Corbett, who a
retired, nor to Fltzslmmons, who VIII
not fight any more, but to the younger
crop-McCoy, Maher, Choynski, Jeffer-

brief, to have the public raise a sub

cepted from any one person-of $1,000,
with which a suitable championship
belt is to be purchased for presentation

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR THE CURE OF PILES AND REC,
TAI DISEASES NO LONGER
NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery Which Will Change
the Treatment of ALI Such Diseases.

1t has long been thought not only by some
physicians but by people in general, that the
common, painful and exceedingly annoying
trouble, piles, was practically incurable by
any other means than a surgical operation
and this belief has been the cause of years
Of needless suffering, because of the natural
dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments and
similar remedies on the market which af-
ford some relief in cases OF piles, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is tho only preparation so
far introduced that can be reliably depended
upon to cure to stay cured, every form of
itching, bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs NJ. C. Hinkley. OF COL Mississippi st
Indianapolis, was told by her physicians that
nothing but a surgical operation costing be-
tween seven and eight hundred dollars, could
cure her as she bad suffered for IS years; yet
even in such a case as hers the Pyramid Pile
cure accomplished q complete cure. She
says II knew an operation would be death
to me and tried the Pyramid with very little
hope and it is not to be wondered at that |
am so enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. d.. E. Reed, of South Lyons, Mich,
says; II would not take $500 and be placed
back whore l was before | used the Pyramid
Pile Cure, l suffered for years and it Is now
eighteen months since | used it and not the
slightest trace Of the trouble has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at so cents and 81 per package
and as it contains no opium, cocaine or other
poisonous drugs can DO used with perfect
safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any form
who will give this excellent remedy a trial.
Send for book on cause and cure of piles,
sent free by addressing Pyramid Drug Co,

Few bodily Affections are more terrible
than heart disease. To live IN constant
dread and expectation Of death, Sudden,
instant death, with last farewells~ unspoken,
is for most people more awful to contem-
plate than the most severe lingering illness.
The slightest excitement brings great
suffering and danger to people so afflicted.
Such was the experience Of the wife Of
a wsll-known clergyman. She tells her
story for the sake of doing good to others.
81 feel" she said, speaking carefully and
weighing her words, that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People relieved me Of a
lifeti ne of sickness and sorrow, and cheer
fully recommend them"
This grateful woina is Mrs. Wamslcy,
wife Of the Rev. c. E. Wamsley, who lives
on West Sheridan Street, G~resnsburg, lad.
She continued;
"My heart became affected after the birth
Of my youngest child, about six years ago.
"The pain was constant. Frequently it
grew so severe | would be forced to cry out.
81 could not endure any excitement.
at would increase the pain SO | would
scream and fall down IN a state of collapse.
In this condition l was helpless.
"These spells would come on me at
home, in the street, or anywhere l might be.
II could not sleep at night. l ate very
little.
different doctors were called IN. They
said l had neuralgia Of the heart, resulting
from nervous prostration.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-02-12

"The doctors treated me, bet the reliei
they gave did not last.
II was a physical wreck, when my eye
fell on an item in the local paper describing
how Mrs. Evans, Of West End, had been
cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Her suffering wa like mine.
81 hope other sufferers who read this
account will have the faith l had when l
read Of MRS. Evans.
"My husband bought me one box Of the
pills. The change they made In my con-
dition was encouraging. took another
box, then bought six more boxes.
"A1lthe time gained IN health, strength,
hope, nerve force steadily, surelyi
"Before l finished the eighth box l ceased
the treatment. | felt perfectly well, and the
doctor said | was entirely cured"
To add weight to her story Mrs. Vans
ley made affidavit to its truth before John
L. Russell, a Notary Public Of G~reensburg.
Neuralgia Of the heart Is only one Of
many serious evils that grow oct Of derange-
ments Of the nervous system or Of the blood.
The remedy hat expek impurities from
the blood and supplies the necessary mater
ials for rapidly rebuilding wasted nerve tbs
sues reaches the root OF many serious diseases.
1t is these virtues that have given DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People their
wonderful curative powers IN diseases that
at first glance seem widely different.
This famous remedy Is for sale by aft
druggists for so cents a box, or six boxes
for $3.50.

The Democratic SnnrI.

The effort of State Chairman Gar
man to harmonic the many factions
of the Democratic party in this state
is meeting with little success. ltlooks
as though he put his foot in ii 10y his
call for IA meeting Of the Democrats
inst. for the purpose, as he says, of
affording IAN opportunity for an in
terGhange of opinions whereby our
differences may be adjusted and n
common ground of action selected
1t is even charged by the free silver
element of the party that the state
chairman did not write the call, but
that it was dictated by the friends of
Mr.. Harrity.
The proposed meeting. instead of
allaying the feelings Of the factions,
has aroused a bitter feeling and will
limit the possible attendance at the
meeting. Some of the leaders pre-
dict that it will only he attended by
the old HHrrity line of fa%ctionists.
To make matters worse, Garman says
in his call that u ''new platform must
be constructed This is looked upon
as a sop thrown to the hundreds of
Democrats who deserted their party
standard i'm the last Presidential cleo
ton because of the party's adoption
of the Chicago platform, but it will
have the effect of keeping the free
silverites, who are largely in the ma
iority, away from the meeting. BE
sides, this conference can have no
possible authority to construct a new
platform, as that is the function of
the state convention exclusively.
The feeling in Schuylkill county,
among the Democrats, is one of
vigorous dissent from the state chair
mans call, and his attempt at play
ing the boss meets with severe crit
cism from the dominant faction of
that party. They say the state con
vention, in view of this conciliatory
call, must reiterate the platform Of
the Chicago convention, no matter
what may be done with state issues.
The concensus of opinion among the
Democratic leaders in this county is
that Garman's call is a well devel-
oped plan to keep the financial ques-
ton in the background as an issue in
the campaign of this year, but they
assert his efforts will be of little
avail.
Viewed from Il disinterested stand
point, our Democratic friends are de
veloping a family quarrel of great
proportions.

Disastrous Y-fre In new i crK.

New York, Feb. 12.-Levi p. Morton's
seven story office building, an IL"
shaped structure, with frontages on
Nassau and Ann streets, and known
us the Nassau Chambers building, was
completely destroyed by fire last night,
The fremen had a hard battle, and for
three hours after the discovery of the
flames there was every prospect of a
great confagration. While a group of
iremen were at work on the Ann street
side there was a loud explosion, and a
portion of the building was blown out.
Several of the firemen were badly cut
by flying glass and debris. The Ben
nett building, at the southwest corner
of Nassau and Ann streets, caught fire
several times, but was extinguished by
the firemen n employees of the build
ing. The oss is estimated at $500, 900.

DO 1T YOURSELF.

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way 10 do is 10 take a bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fiji it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing a day aud night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire TO uTinate
often, and still another sign is pam in the
back. II urine stains linen. there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages and con
stipatiOn of the bowels are cured by DR.
David Kenuedy's Fayorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
IL quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled TO get up % number Of
times during the night. For putting AN end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine. nothing is so good rs DR. David Ken
ned's FavOrite Remedy. 1t corrects the bad
effects of whiskey and beer; is pleasant TO
the taste, and does not seem to BIO medicise
At all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use of instruments 10 push
back the sandy matter so the urine can be
voided. In such cases FayOrite Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal, IL is sold for one
dollar n bottle at all drug stores. 1t is well
worth many times its price.

ohro's Republican Leaeue.

Columbus, o., Feb. 12.-The Ohio Re-
publican League convention. which was
held in this city last night, was one of
the stormiest in the history of the
league. About 200 delegates, represent
ing " clubs, were in attendance. The
fractional feeling which marked the late
senatorial contest cropped out. There
were strenuous efforts to restore har-
mony, however, both the retiring presi-
dent and the pr~esident-elect advising
the members of the league to lay aside
fractional differences. The Foraker and
Bushnell element were dominant in the
convention, however, and, while they
~endeavored to keep fractional differ
ences in the background, they carried
all their points.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

a fact often overlooked, or not always under.
stood, is that women suffer as much from dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning,-thesc are also con
yincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's
,wamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise
you. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take a medicine you should take
the best. AT druggists fifty cents and one dol

Amateur rnotographer's Blunder.

New York, Feb. 12.-Stewart j. Il.
Gourley. an amateur photographer, last
night attempted to take a group pic
ture by the las light process at his
home in Brooklyn. He had overloaded
the flash pan with powder, n when
he set IT OFF there was a ASH and an
explosion. Mrs. Mary Rinsland and
George Johnson, a boy, who had posed
for the photographer, were badly hurt.
Mrs. Rinsland's scalp was hanging by
a shred of skin to her skull, nearly all
of her hair was burned off and her face
and hands were blistered. The boy was
badly burned about the face and hands,
and Gourley had four fingers blown of
his left hand. Mrs. Rinsland's condi-
ton is precarious.
