CONTRIBUTIONS TO ICE FUND.
Those Who Sent in Their Subscrip-
tions Yesterday.

The following letter from f. D.Watts,
Of this city, which was received yes
terday, shows the urgent need of a
fund by means of which the regiment
can be supplied with ice and delicacies:
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / visited the camp of the Thr-
teenth regiment at Camp Meade on sat
urday last and was very forcibly i'm
pressed with the urgent need of fund
for the purchase of ice and also fund
placed at the disposal of the colonel Tor
the purchase of other necessities and
comforts for his men. Saturday in camp
was a very hot day and owing to long
continued drought was very dry and
dusty At the time ! was there, noon the
only drinking water was in barrels in tho
center of the camp exposed to the hot
rays of the sun since early morning. 1t
was extremely unpalatable, having no
ice, though said to be of good quality
whep fresh.
The blessings of a general fund for this
purpose and for the purchase of other
lUXurics which at home we all enjoy was
impressed on the writer by hearing from
Colonel Courscn in detail the record of
careful expenditures made from the re-
mander of The Tribune fund left after
buying the ambulance.
After seeing the discomforts of our boys
for the purpose of making their camp life
a little more tolerable. Such a fund at
the time of moving their camp from tho
south to the present one would have been
invaluable in the purchase of three or
four days rations between the time OF
starting from Camp Algcr and getting
settled in Camp Meade.
The boys fare since leaving the south
has consisted of hard tack, black coffee
and canned corned beef, and scarce sup
ply at that owing to the latest blunder
of the war department. or some branch
of it's service. The colonel states that
The Tribune fund balance of something
over 500 is the only money which he has
re reccved for the purpose of purchasing
comforts for the soldiers since leaving
home.
! am sure if the value of such a fund
was placed properly before your readers
it would rapidly be sweled to such pro-
portions that our brave boys in camp
would he made deeply grateful in their
changed ConGition by the removal OF
the discomfOrts which have and are now
existing. A portion Of such a fund should
by all means he given to Quartermasrcr
Cox for the purchase of seasonabe vege-
tables which all of us at home can enjoy
On our tables every day al merely trifling
cost. but which is entirely denied these
soldier boys by a war department which
tries "to save at the spigot and wastes at
the bunCholc."
A very prompt and generous response
10 your fund is wnat is needed now. They
have suffered too much already from
slowness. +. d. Watts.

Is 1T DURABLE.
A Question often Asked by Those
Afflicted with Piles.


Is strained Joint durable? Is local
inflammation durable? OF course, IL
properly treated. So Is piles.
People become afflicted with piles and
ask some old Chronic" who has al
ways persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he dlscourages them by
telling them that their case is hope
less.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble in few days
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves
the congested parts, reduces the tum-
ors instantly no matter how large, al
lays the Inflammation and stops the
aching or itching at once.
Thousands who have resorted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in
a number of instances persons who
had spent months in an hospital un-
der a pile specialist.
II is a remedy that none need fear
to apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and infamed hemorrhoidal
tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stub
born disease you can master it and
master it quickly.
This remedy is no longer an expert
ment but a medical certainty. 1t is
manufactured by the Pyramid Pile
company, of Marshall, Mich
Druggists sell it at so cents per box.
It Is becoming the most popular pile
cure the country has ever known and
druggists everywhere are ordering it
for their customers. ~

MIR. ROCHE REPLIES.

Mr.. Roche admitted the excellence
of the argument If the ordinance was a
bond measure, but he contended 1t
was not and that its title supported
his view.
A ruling on the point of order was
asked by Mr.. Chittenden and 1t was
sustained. Messrs. Roche and McCann
appealed from the decision, which was
overruled by the following vote:
To sustain - Messrs, Finn, Thomas,
Williams, James. Wagner, Schroeder,
O'Boyle and Chittenden-S votes.
To oVerrule-Messrs. Ross Roche, Mel
vim, Shea. McCann, Fellows, Lansing,
Frable and Coyne-9 votes.
Seven amendments to the ordinance
by Mr.. Roche and one by Mr.. Coyne
were offered and adopted.
Mr.. Lansing, of the special commit
tee, took no part in the proceedings
until after the amendments had been
adopted and a motion made TO pass the
measure as amended. He said, in sub
stance, that the proposition was purely
business one and should not be
waived because of possible legal OBJ
jections and technicalities. For the
reason that a roof, patched 10 the limit,
should be replaced with a new one, so
should there be a new surface to the
pavement. He was not surprised at
the opposition. The project was big

each of the different calibers of guns

cording to the type of ship attacked
So much will depend upon the first few
minutes of a close action that il
commander could give his instructions
to his different gun detachments before
coming within close range as to the
part of the ship upon which they
sould direct their fire it might be of
immense advantage to him. Before he
can do this he must recognize his
enemy, and every means would no
doubt be taken to discover the ideu-
tity Of an opponent at the earliest pos
sible moment. Let us suppose the
enemy's ship, or at any rate, the class
to which she belongs, is known. II
the captain could turn to his notebook
and find prearranged plan of attack,
suited to her construction, he could at
once tell the guns crews what their
target was to be. 1t may be that duels
between ships will be of rare occur
renee. and that such actions as that at
the Yalu will be the most frequent,
where fleets will pass each other rap
idly and where such rules as l propose
for discriminating attack could not be
put in practice. But is there not still
the chance that individual ships may
be pitted against each other, when it
will be worth while to eight with the
head?"

A Scotch university professor, irri-
tated to find that the students had got
into the habit of placing their hats and
canes on his desk instead of in the
cloakroom, announced that the next
article of the kind placed there would
be destroyed. Some days later the
professor was called for a moment
from the classroom. A student slipped
into his private room and emerged
with the professors hat, which he
placed conspicuously on the desk,
while his fellows grinned and trembled.
The professor. 'on returning, saw the
hat, thought some rashly obstinate stu
dent had been delivered into his hands,
and, taking out his knife, he cut the
offending article to pieces, while
vainly attempting to conceal the smile
of triumph that played about his coun-
tenance. He was in very bad TEN
