COMMON SENSE CURE.
Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Permanently by Curing
 the Cause.
Remarkable Remedy Which Is Bringing
 Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.

comfort to InOusahus or SuHerers.
 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 thing as piles has often cAused death. Hemorrhages 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 that will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
 It allays the inflammation immedi- ately, heals the irritated surface and with continued treatment reduces the swelling and puts the membranes into good, sound healthy condition. The cure is thorough and permanent.
 Here is a voluntary and unsolicited testimonial we have lately received:
 Mrs. M. c. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi St., Indianapolis, Ind, says Have been sufferer from the pain and an- noyance of Piles for fifteen years, the Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me immediate relief and in a short time complete cure.
 Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure or will get it for you if you ask them to. It is but 50 cents per package and is put up only by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

the scare caused by the Maine's depart ure for Havana, there could be no doubt of the underlying strength and breadth of to-day's market of securities The Maine incident has in fact been con- verted to ar actual bull factor in the stock market, the exchange of courte- sies at Havana being looked upon as promising more towards smoothing re- lations between the two countries than anything that has yet occurred The movement of to-day's market was broad and deep and left no room to doubt that large interests were absorb ing securities with great confidence and on very heavy scale. Purchases of 1000 share blocks were frequent in lead ing stocks all through the list and there were number of transactions in bonds in which $100,OOO par value chang ed hands in one block. Almost every group of railroad properties in the market was represented in the advance, the continued heavy buying of New York Central and the Vanderbilts being
 
 for some time past. The grangers, the southern group, the southwesterns, the coalers and the Klondike group all de- veloped advances of point to nearly points in some member of each group. Kansas and Texas preferred rose 8 points on rumors of an approaching
 dividend declaration and New York Central at one time added nearly 2 points to yesterdays galn Lake Shore rose AZ. Of the grangers Rock Island was the leader with rise 21a, and all the leading members ofthe group rose | over a point. Reading first preferred was in the van of the coalers with a rise of 21s points. Similar sharp gains were secured all through the list. The group of New York corporations was an ex ception and showed signs of heaviness. London continued large factor l though it's purchases were probably not l as large in this market as was the case yesterday. The exchange market re- l f1ected the further effect of this develop ment with a sharp fall of $ in the actual rate for demand, sterling bring l ing it down to 4.S4A. This is the point l which has started the two last import | movements of gold and there was talk in the street to-day of gold imports. | This would be the more remarkable in
 view of the hardening tendency of
 money rates abroad and the continued
 ease here. The local money market
 showed no effect from to-day's surren- der by the New York banks of the first
 10 per cent installment of the govern
 ment deposit on account of the Union

 in practically wiping out the sub-treas- urys debit balance at the clearing house to-day which has been running

 nearly million dollars a day.

BURNS MEMORY HON0RED
BIC GATHERING IN HONOR OF SCOT LANDS BARD 1T WARNER HALL.

Patriotic Address by Prof. W. l.. Phelps Fine Musical Programme by Baimoral Quartett and Fichtl's Orohestra-Burns' "Tam o'shanter," by John Japp, Greatly Appreciated.
 As year by year in quick succession files, And adds fresh glories to our memories
 store:
 We greet the stones which mark Times
 teeting miles And leaving them we love them all the
 more.
 Beside the lesser day we each can claim There stands day whose rugged majesty Throws yearly lustre OH the roll of fame And lures new charms from ancient min
 strelsy.
 On such day Auld scotland's sons arise And hail, OCT all the world, the natal That morn of clustering winds and wlntry
 skies
 They hear, again the "blast O Jan'war And keek with gossip in the infants Her true prophetic words recall to min That. living now, we daily see the
 ''preuf."
 One of the largest audiences that has ever assembled in this city to do honor to Scotlands ploughman bard congre-
 
 gated last night. An annual celebra- tion of his birth has been held in this city regularly for the past twenty-eight years under the auspices of the New Haven Caledonian club. The audience was decidedly Scotch one. But while the majority belonged or claimed con- nection by marriage or some other kim dred tie with the land of the heath and the heather still there could be seen in the large assemblage many prominent Americans who are known to be as ar- dent admirers of the poet and his writ ings as any Scotsman could be. That Burns was not alone the poet of the Scottish people, but rather of all the peoples of the earth, becomes more evil dent as the years roll by; and the cele- bration of the anniversary of his birth becomes more and more popular. The Caledonian club this year has left no stone unturned or curtailed any expense in order that these celebrations may not only be worthy of Scots of New Ha- ven, but also worthy of the cause they celebrate.
 The committee was fortunate this year in securing the services of Profess sor w. L. Phelps of Yale to deliver the address, while for the carrying out of the musical part of the programme the services of the famous Balmoral quar- tette were secured augmented by Fichtls orchestra. The recital of sev- eral of the poets we'll known pieces was in the able hands of MT. John Japp of this city. A special feature of the pro gramme was the rendering of the Cor don Highlanders' now famous march, s'The Cock O the North," by Piper Dun can Urquhart
 The proceedings commenced at 8 o'clock when Chief W. c. Mcintosh accompanied by the speaker of the evening, Professor w. L. Phelps, and the other guests of the evening, Past Chiefs R. D, Pryde and Andrew Currie, took their seats on the platform.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-01-27

FichtRs orchestra struck up a selec- ton of Scottish airs, which put the audience in good spirits, after which Chief w. c. Mcintosh addressed the audience and bade them welcome to the Burns celebration on behalf of the New Haven Caledonian club. He spoke shortly on the great good that had been accomplished by the club since it came into existence more than a quarter of century ago
 Scarcely had the applause ceased when the stirring strains of the bagpipe greeted the ears of the audience. Not many were familiar with the martial air, but, it is safe to say, the now his- toric march of the Gordon Highlanders at the heights of Dargai tugged pow erfully at even an aliens heartstrings. Although a hall is not just quite the correct place for the Scottish bagpipes still as martial inspirers they have no equal wherever heard. Piper Urqu- hart's contribution to the programme was received with prolonged applause.
 THE CONCERT.
 The concert was one of the finest of its kind ever given in this city. The part song by the quartette, There Was a Lad" was well rendered and loudly applauded. MT. Walter Bruce's rendi- tion of I'm Scot" fairly took the house by storm, and he had to respond to an encore, giving "A Heilenman's Toast"
 Mrs. Schafer then sang Burns Down the Burn Davie Lad" Her clear, sweet voice did the song ample justice, and she responded to a well merited encore. MT. John Japp gave dramatic and masterly rendition of Burns "A Win ter's Night and gro the Unco Guid." The manner in which he mastered the Scotch dialect in the last piece fairly tickled the Scots and brought forth hearty round of applause. It was, how ever, in his recital of Burns Tram O Shanter" that MT. Japp excelled, treat ing his audience in it's rendition to one of the finest treats of the kind ever giv- en in this city.
 Miss Jessie H. Matteson, who is we'll known in New Haven, greatly pleased the audience by singing Castles in the Air MT. George Fulton's singing of .'O' a the Airts'' fairly took the house by storm.
 This completed the first part of the programme. The second part was equal ly well rendered and appreciated by the large audience. The concert was con cluded with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the company and the audi ence.
