A Medical Discovery That Efe ectuaIiy
Cures piles IN Every Form

For many years physicians have ex-
perimented in vain, seeking a remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
other rectal troubles, without resorting
to a surgical operation. Many REM
edies were found to give temporary
relief, but none could be depended up
on to make a lasting, satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period, however, a
new remedy. the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and with highly satisfactory
results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain
and irritation generally present and
from that time on the cure rapidly
progresses and before the patient is
hardly aware of it he is entirely cured.
The remedy seems to act directly on
the nerves and blood vessels of the
parts affected as it comes into direct
contact with them and sets up a
healthy action, which in a perfectly
natural way brings the parts to their
normal condition.
The remedy does its work without
any pain or inconvenience to the suf-
ferer and is Justly considered one OF
the most meritorious discoveries OF
modern medicine
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. If ne
elected it frequently develops into fis.
tula or some equally fatal or incurablt
trouble, whereas by the timely use OF
this simple but effective remedy M
one need suffer a single day from any
form of piles unless they want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral pois
ons and is also very reasonable in price
costing but SO cents a package. 1t |!

SHAFT CLOSED.
No. 3 Has Been Worked Ont and shut
Down indefinitely.

The No. shaft of the Delaware and
Hudson company, has been shut down
indefinitely. The bulk of the coal
which is being worked in No. at pres
ent is situated near the Coalbrook mine
workings on the north and the No. 1
workings on the south The coal near
the shaft is about worked out. For
this reason it will be much cheaper to
take out the coal via the Coalbrook and
No 1 openings.
The new order of things will dispense
with the services of between twenty
five and thirty men and boys.
New hosting engines will replace the
old water-whcel used for hauling the
cars up the plane at No. 1. The steam
to run the engines will be piped from
the boilers at No. 3 shaft. The pipe
line is now nearly cCS pleted. This
new arran cement will do away with the
canal which runs from the river little
south of No. 3 shaft to the water motor
at No. /.

AN OFFER OF MERCY.
Shatter Again Argues the Matter With
 TOral.

Washington, July 12.-After the heavy bombardment of the artillery and fleet at Santiago yesterday Gen. eral Shafter Sent General Wheeler into the Spanish lines with flag of truce with a message to General Toral, the Spanish commander, recit- ing the fact that the American ships had given a complete demonstration they could throw shells into the city and destroy it The American troops had the city completely surrounded and =1S,O00 Spanish refugees and Gu ban citizens were starving to death at Fl Caney. Shafter pointed out that the army had no means of feed ing them. Shafter then demanded the unconditional surrender of the city and threatened that unless Gen eraI Toral acceded an assault upon it both by lapd and sea would be re- newed.
 Several hours elapsed before any reply was received and then mes sage came to General Shafter to the effect that the matter was of such great importance that he was obliged to refer it to the Madrid government and that he would send a final an swer as soon as he received instruc- tions from Madrid. It was then late in the afternoon and General Smarter gave orders to all the troops to get as much rest as possible and be prepared to resume the attack at any moment

SKATERS GRATIFYING REPORT

Washington. July I2.-At a cabinet meeting today telegrams from General Shafter were discussed. but no new plan Of campaign considered or inn portant orders were given Shafter's report that Santiago was completely invested was received with much grat- ifcation, as there had been some ap- prehension of the Spanish contem- plating night evacuation. Secretary Alger said that although Shafter's line on the west was light in places, he had no doubt that it was sufficiently strong to repel any attack of the en- emy capable of being made at this time. The opinion is that the Span iards being now completely cut of from outside aid, the only question is a prompt surrender or a fight which would result in their capture. His opinion as we'll as that of other mem- bers of the cabinet is that the Span iards would surrender rather than take the risks of a general assault.

July 12- Captain McKenna of the British brig Ethel arrived here today from Porto Rico, brings a story of great destitu- ton at San, Juan and other places and deep interest in the progress of the war.

A TRANSLATION OF THE NAME.

Washington, July 12. Admiral Sampson cabled to the department that he believes that the wrecking plant now on the way to Santiago to endeavor to save some of the Spanish ships is sufficient for the purpose so far as the question of mere capacity is concerned. Naval officers are par ticularly desirous that the Cistobal Colon may be saved and placed in the list under the Anglocized name of the Christopher Columbus.

 is willing to accept the premiership Marshal de Campos would accept it but he does not command a majority in the chamber of deputies While the military party urges war, a largc proportion of the civil population de- sires peace. It is pointed out, how ever, that if the United States insists on the cession of Porto Rico and the Philippines. the general feeling favors continuing hostilities, many Spaniards believing the situation in Cuba will enable Spain to prolong the struggle

VIEWS OF WAR OFFICIALS.
Encouraging Signs Regarding Possl-
 bility of Surrender of Santiago.

Washington, July 12.-In regard to the possibility of a surrender at San tiago, the officials of the war depart ment thought they saw encouraging signs in Gen. Shafter's report that the Spanish were deserting to the Amer ican side. It is believed that this is the immediate result of the sending back to the Spanish lines in safety of wounded Spanish officers and men who had fallen on the battlefield, thus dis polling the impression that the high Spanish officials have sought to create among their ignorant troops that the Americans were barbarous and did not recognize the rules of warfare. It is earnestly hoped that the conclusions drawn from Shafter's dispatch are sound, for private dispatches received here speak of the appearance Of con- tagious disease within the Spanish lines.
