The several colleges in the State
opened their fall term with most
excellent prospects. The people
more than ever appreciate the bless
ings of education. They are making
sacrifices to send their sons and
daughters to college.
A sweet little flower in the person
of babe was plucked by the angel
of death from the home Of Mr.. r. S.
Price, near Priceville, on the 9Th
inst, and is now shedding the rich
ness cf its fragrance in the beautiful
garden of God.
Lexington is undoubtedly the
healthiest place in the State. 1t is
affirmed that people grow to such an
extreme old sge that life is suce a
burden to them that they have to 60
to other localities to shake off this
mortal coil.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Oct. IA scrutiny of the
list of changes in prices today VIII
show that nearly all of the railroad
stocks dealt in have net gains Of a
small fraction. Considering the num-
ber of unsettling episodes in the days
market. these gains, though small, in
dlcate strong resisting power i'm
stocks. Although the opening was
slightly higher in sympathy with the
rise in London the tendency of prices
turned downwards early in the day
under the influence of break in To-
bacco on apprehension that the STU
preme court would deliver today de-
cision unfavorable to the railroads to-
test the legality of the Joint Traffic
association. Although this decision
has long been anticipated and although
the opinion is almost universally held
that it is to be unfavorable to the rail-
roads in consonance with the decision
in the Trans Missouri case, the bull
party shows great timidity as to the
effect of the courts ruling. The coal
ers were subjected to attack by the
bears and the valuation of the stocks
lowered to an extent surprising even
for these much belabored securities.
The covering by the bears in the coal
ers worked recoveries ranging up to
pa In New Jersey Central, and the
news that there was no decision in the
Joint Traffic association case induced
covering by room traders i'm the gen.
cral list. Total sales were 247,9OO
shares.

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal dis
ease. The most common and annoy
ing Is itching piles, indicated by
warmth, slight moisture and intense,
uncomfortable itching in the parts af-
fected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times gives temporary relief, but
nothing like a permanent cure can be
expected from such eupcrncial treat
ment.
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 ap-
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
permanent removal of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort of Itch
ing piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because 1t contained cocaine, opium or
similar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the REM
edy showed it to be absolutely free
from cocaine. opium, or in fact any
poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.
Sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack
age.

Mich. for free book on cause and cure
of piles.

LOOKING AFTER
CUBAN GARRISON
THEIR PROTECTION AGAINST
DISEASE A HARD PROBLEM.
The yellow Fever Now Prevalent
and Malignant-Results of Col.
Hecker's Examination of the Con-
ditions-The Proposal of Native
Gendarmerie.

Washingtor, oct. lit is said at
the war department that nothing has
occurred to change the plans already
framed for the movement of troops to
Cuba. 1t was not intended that the oc-
cupation of the island should begin
immediately. EXCEPT at such towns as
Manzanillo and perhaps Holguin, where
immune regiments could be used to ad-
vantage.
Colonel ueckers investigation into
the situation has been of great value
to the depaT ;ment. disclosing as 1t has
the views Of thoroughly practical
man based on keen observation. I'ut
Cot. Hcckcy primary object was To
locate camp sites for the occupation Of
the troops. and he is proceeding in
exact acrord5 nee with his instructions,
rho condition that he found, it is
,aid, tho, lughly warrants the belief
that the war department will be
obliged to face the most difficult prob
l"nS that have y'. arisen in connoc-
tion with the handling of troops in or
der to insure the protection of the
health Of thr soldiers
MUST BE SOL ATED.
1t has become evident that the men
InuEl w lSbllltu lOl SDllt lliIlS III liiSi'
camps to avoid the danger of infection.
and the department is not quite clear
that any useful purpose will be served
by placing soldiers where their services
cannot BE- easily available. While the
wet season iIs now almost reached its
end in cuba, IL is said that the yellow
fever is more prevalent and more dan
gerous in tyre just now than NJ any
time during the year. These Condi-
tions however. will not continue long,
and ii is believed that before Novem-
Der has progressed far ii will he possi-
Bile to have several divisions of troops
safely camped on Cuban soil.
A proposition that is now under con-
sideratiOn looks to the employment of
the Cubans as local gendarmes, it be-
ing urged that they would be more
serviceable in maintaining order in the
towns than American soldiers, unac-
quainted with the Spanish language
and Cuban customs. The United States
government in this way would also be
able by the payment of small salaries
to these men to considerably relieve
the distress that exists on the island
without breeding a class of professions
al paupers or lowering the pride of the
Cubans.
Unless General Lee asks specifically
to be relieved from that duty, he is to
command the first expedition, second.

In THE PLAY HOUSES.
Under the Red Robe. /"

The stage version of Stanley Weyman' =
intensely interesting drama, "tndcr the
Red Robe was presented at the Lyceum
last night by con pany headed by Will
lam Morris a finished actor, whose
conscientious work has lonG made him a
favorite in this city. The audience that
saw last nights performance was large
enough and enthusiastic enough to spur
the actors to their best efforts. So heart
lily were their efforts appreciated that
they were compelled to respond to a mum
ber of curtain calls.
Mr.. Morris gave an ideal impersunation
of the reckless. sometimes dissolute, but
withal manly character OF Gil dc Berault
and Frances Gaunt quite charmed the
audience with her Renee de Cochcforet.
The other characters of the drama were
in very capable hands. julius COhn,
Frohman's well known manager, had the
direction of the performance which is only
another way of 81 ying it was staged and
costumed in an irreproachablc manner.

Hands Across the Sea- ;

The King Dramatic company which is
an exceptionally good repertoire orgaIi-
zation presented Hands Across the Sea"
as its opening bill at the Academy OF
Music last night. The company will con-
tnue at that house for week and from
the excellence displayed last night it is
safe to say the theater will be crowded
at each performance
In last nights cast were a number Cf
excellent actors. Kirk Brown. to whose
lot fell the heaviest work of the drama,
made a very decided hit. Osin Eylr,
Lawrence McGill, l.. NJ. Barrett. George
II. Rowe, Miss Maud Phelps and Miss
Edyth Tottcn are some of the other very
clever members of this company as
shown by their work last night. The
drama was staged In an exceptionally fine
manner.
Between the acts Miss Madison gave u
series of bsautiful dances of the kind
popularized by Loie Fuller and r. e.
Whelan and Maude Phelps offered an en-
tertaining sketch. This afternoon the
company presents Monte Cristo" and

"The Little Host" Tonight.

Bright lines, brief, but awfully funny
situations; a plentiful sprinkling of sim
pie and catchy music, beautiful young
women, fine supporting organization,
picturesque scenery, love and fun galore
are what is claimed for Della FoX's new
operate comedy, "The Little Host"
which is to be presented at the Lyceum
this evening. Edgar Smith and Louis De
Lange, the authors, were at great pains
TO fl, the clever comcdienne with a play
that should be sufficiently adapted to her
talents 20 justify her resolve to leave
the field of comic opera for, at least, one
season.
Della Fox and her company appeared
at the N"shiu thcateT in Wilkes Barre
last night and gave excellent satisfaC-
tion. The cen Cdy is bright and crisp,
Miss Fox has a congo NAL part and she is
surrounded with clever, pre.ty girls. The
scenery and costumes are very handsome.

Gay Morning Glories.'

IN the C'io with which the porfnrman { e

the Gaiety theater number of very en-
tertaining vaudeville artists appear. The
bill is headed by Coley and Mamie Grant,
COlored, whose songs and dances were re-

sketch and McCabe and Sabine gave a
joyous surprise by offering something new
and really funny in the way of Irish COM
