MAYOR VAN wrck,s MESSAGE.
Funded Debt of Greater New York
FoOts Up S227, 453,52a.

New York, Jan. 3.-Mayor Van Wyek' s
message to the municipal assembly, which
was read upon the organization of the
body to-day treatedat length of the imam
cial condition of the greater city. The dec
ument was accompanied by lengthy tables
furnished him by the controllers of New
York, Brooklyn, Richmond aud Queens.
The figures indicated a net funded debt
for the entire city of S227. 453. 529, aud an as
sessed valuation of real estate of the en-
tire city of $2,464, 1912.
Iheue is, therefore" the mayor said,
"an apparent margin within the constitu-
tionaI limit of further Indebtedness of
about $l9O00.OCO"
Continuing. the mayor said This ex-
hibit OF the financial condition of our
city / submit without further comment
than that it must impress every one with
the stern necessity for the utmost eau
tlon IN the authorization of any bond is
sue, until we have provided a greater
margin as between the percentage of our
real estate valuation prescribed in the con-
sututional limitation and our outstanding
net bonded debt"
Regarding the duties of his subordinatcsi
Mayor Van Wyck said: Everyone in
public station must understand that thew
Will be held to strict Accountability for
the honest, intelligent and prompt dis
charge of the public duties they may I'M
dertake. In no other way and by other
influence can they retain their position.
Fidelity TO the pledges on which the
SURFACES OF our citizens were asked and
secured demand that we demonstrate the
advantages of responsible government:
that we prove that the administration for
which great political party stands spon-
sor can be depended upon not only to re-
ward merit, as well as to deal most seri-
ously with betrayal of public confidence,
including in this designation not alone
every form of dishonesty and every degree
Of ihefficiency, but also as to any want
of industry and any indifference to the,

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

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth. slight mois-
ture and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
give temporary RELIEF, but nothing like a
permanent cure can be expected 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 bleeding
or protruding. The first application gives
instant relief and the continued use for a
short time causes a permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because il
was supposed to contain cocaine opium
or similar drugs but such is not the case.
recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonous,
injurious drugs whatever
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because 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 be-
fore the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at SOC
and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for book on cause and cure of piles
and also hundreds of testimonials from all
parts of the United States
If suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight.

CLASH on CLIPPERTON ISLAND.
Mexican GunbOat Arrived just in
Time to Prevent a Tragedy.

Mexican GunbOat Arrived just in
Time to Prevent Tragedy.
Mexico City, Mexico, Jan. Sit turns
out that there was likely TO have been a
tragedy ON CBpperton Island among the
Americans engaged in taking out guano.
Two of the five men on the island were
living In mortal terror of the other three,
and were in fear of their lives, and just
as matters were eliminating the Mexican
gunboat arrived and the Americans beg
ged Capt. Geneso to allow them to return
TO the mainland with him, which he did.
Had it not been for the humane act of
the Mexican naval commander there
might have been enacted on that lonely
island a tragedy similar to some of those
related in Stevenson's tales of the South
Sea Islands. The rescued Americans feel
very grateful to the MeXicans.
There is no feeling here regarding the
Clipperton Island incident. except that
public sentiment sustans the government
in asserting its territorial rights.
The weather is quite cold in the valley
of Mexico. and several of the people living
in the Sierras surrounding the valley have
been frozen TO death.

DEAL on ATLNNTA's xAYoRALTY
Capt. English to Be Given the Office
and Then Retire From Politics.

Capt. English to BE Given the Office
and Then Retire From Politics.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. SIT has become an
open secret in municipal politics, although
nothing has yet been said about the deal
in the local papers, probably because of
fear that the plans will be thus made to
miscarry, that Capt j. W. English is 10
be the next mayor of the city.
According to the plans now being hatch
ed, Capt. English, who has been a power
full factor in local politics for the past
quarter of a century, is to make his final
adeu TO municipal politics with a term
in the mayors chair. In order to round
off his career thus there is much log roll
ing going on at this early stage Of the
game to bring his political enemies into
line and let him have the honor without
opposition.
1t is understood that the Brotherton fac
ton who have always been the implacable
foes of the English side, are now in line
preparing TO hurrah for English for may
or.
In return for this Capt Brotherton is
TO succeed Capt. English as chairman of
the police board and thus control that inn
portant arm Of the public service, a posi-
ton to which Mr.. Brotherton has long
aspired, but never attained, on account of
the opposition of the English faction.
According 10 the statement of the best
posted local politicians, the deal has al
ready been made, the only thing that now
remains to be done being TO deliver the
goods. One hitch ip this future considera-
ton is said to be possibility of Capt. r.
p. Howell for running for mayor against
Capt English This complication is also
being talked about on the quiet and the
efforts of the schemers a present are be-
ing directed toward preventing the line of
opposition to Capt. English. the Brother
ION element having already been appeased
and brought to the support of Capt. Eng
lish upon the promise that he will retire
from the center of the stage at the end
of his term and give the Brothertons
showing.
The practical consummation of these
plans is about the most interesting and
important feature of the inauguration of
the new municipal administration which
was sworn in to-day.

BOGUS BILL THAT'S A BEAUTY.
COUNTERFEIT so CLEVER THAT 1T
FOOLS TREASURY EXPERTS.

Not Convinced of It's SpuriouSness
Until IL Fell Apart After Being
Soaked in Hot Water-Later On an
Examination DisclOses Another OF
the Certificates in the Treasury
Cash-WhoIe issue of S26,OOO,O00
eel In.
Washington, Jan. S-One of the most
dangerous counterfeits ever discovered
has made It's appearance.
John II. Cramer of the sub-treasury at
Philadelphia brought to the secret service
office to-day five 500 counterfeit silver
certificates with the head of President
Monroe. Their general appearance is ex-
cellent, and after close examination the
officials of the treasury cash room were
undecided about their genuineness, and it
was only after one of the notes had been
soaked in hot water when the two pieces
forming the front ana back of the note
came apart, that they were convinced of
the fraud
On examinati ton of to-day's treasury
cash another spurious note was discov-
cred
The chief of the bureau of engraving
pronounced the counterfeit a very danger
Gus production. 1t was engraved on steel
and printed on two pieces of paper pasted
together and the colored silk fiber distrib.
uted between them.
In view of the dangerous nature of the
counterfeits, Secretary Gage decided to
dispense with this issue and call in all the
500 silver certificates, of which there are
about $36,O0O0CO outstanding.
These certificates Will be exchanged for
certificates of smaller denominations and
the plates destroyed. As soon as new
plates can be engraved a new series will
be issued
The assistant secretaries of all the sub
treasures viii be requested to send to the
treasury in Washington all the 500 silver
certificates in their possession, and a no
tice will be sent to banks and other in
stitutions to do the same.
Secretary Gage authorized the statement
to be made that in his judgment il was IN
safe for business men or others to ac-
cept silver certificates Of the same denom-
ination, and in case any were now on hand
they should be sent to banks for trans
mission TO Washington.

LOADED WITH BIRD AND CABBAGE.
Police Puzzled what 10 DO With a
Prisoners Property.

Prisoners Property.
Some time ago a man was arrested on
the charge of stealing Bibles from Trinity
church. When arraigned in police court,
however, he was discharged by request
OF the members Of the church, but was
ordered TO leave town at once. He then
gave his name as Bell. Yesterday he re-
turned to the city with 4 big rooster and
nine heads Of cabbage In his possession,
ana gave his name as F. NJ. Grace.
policeman Deignan nabbed the man as
suspicious character, and sent him to the
barracks for an investigation as to the
plrd and cabbages. On appearing before
the recorder however, Grace was recog-
nized as the man who had been ordered to
leave town for the Trinity church esca-
pade. Without delay he was turned over
to the city court for vagrancy and COM
mitted TO jail.
A legal question at once arose. Grace
owned a rooster and the cabbages. and
something had to be done with the prop
erty. The cabbage is perishable and the
rooster was apt to take to his wings ana
leave. The loss of property might bring
on complications between Grace and the
police, which il was thought well TO guard
against. There is a high wall around the
barracks court, and the bird could be kept
there In safety. but there seemed no legal
way Of handling the cabbage. The guess
ton is still open. though il has been sug-
gestcd the rooster could be fed on the
cabbage, and thus conciitate matters.
