A GRANT AND A LEE
To Fight Side by Side in the War
Against Spain.

Washington, April 23.-General U. S.
Grants grandson and Robert E Lees
nephew are to fight side by side in the
war against Spain. Algernon Sartoris
the young son of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sar-
tOriS, who has just come of age, has ap-
piled for and will be assigned to a pO-
SitiOn on the staff of General Fitzhugh
Lee, who is to command a division in
the volunteer army. The former DASH
ing officer of the confederate cavalry
who did so much to prolong the final
campaign against Grant, and who
begged his uncle at Appomattox to allow
him to fight just one more day, will
have on his staff the grandson of the
great federal general to whom he and
his uncle were compelled to surrender.
A representative of the youngest gen.
GRAFTON of the fighting Lees may also
receive his baptism of fire in the Span
ish war. George Mason Lee, a son of
General Fitzhugh Lee is now complet-
ing his first year in the West Point mil
itary academy. He has written to his
father asking permission to resign his
cadetship and enter the service at once
as volunteer lieutenant. General Lee
has not yet given his consent, but he
may allow the boy to resign and take
him as an aide on his staff. The gen
eral is being almost overwhelmed with
applications for staff duty. They come
from north and south. Men who wore
the gray and fought with Lee, and men
who wore the blue and fought against
him, are seeking opportunities for
themselves, their relatives or friends,
to follow the great cavalry leader of the
Army of Northern Virginia.

FRISCO Is ROBBED.
City Treasurer a Defaulter for at
Least $4,000.

San Francisco, April 23.-City Treasurer
Augustus G. Wfdber was found today to
be a defaulter for at least $4,000 and per-
haps the amount Of his peculations will
reach $2OO, 900. Widber has disappeared
and no trace of him has yet been discov-

he stole in the crudest way: His method
was not to falsify accounts, but to abstract
gold from bags of gold coin in the city
treasury and substitute silver dollars for
$40 pieces. He slit bags just below where
they were tied and sealed and after re-
moving coin sewed them again neatly. 1t
had been going on or whether any of the
bags of coin he tempered with had been
passed by official examiners who inspect
the city cash every six months.
Widbers work may easily have escaped
their notice. Widber drank at times heav-
lily, but was never in such a condition as
to be unified for business: What led to
his exposure was his conduct last night,
when he was seen in the local tenderloin
very much intoxicated. Hints he dropped
spection of his cash and detection of his
theftS.
1t is said he has Iavished most of his
money on race tracks and women. He
had been playing the races for months.

The city is only protected in $780, 900
bonds. Widber is 81 years old. He was
chief deputy under his father, who served
two terms as city treasurer. When the
elder Widber died suddenly July 3, 1895, the
supervisors decided to appoint his son Au-
gustuS to the vacancy.

WITHOUT PAIN.
A Medical Discovery That Efectually
Cures Piles in Every Form.

For many years physicians have ex-
perimented in vain, seeking remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
other rectal troubles, without resorting
to a surgical operation. Many remedies
were found to give temporary relief,
but none could be depended upon to
make 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 pro-
crosses 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 ac-
ton, which in a perfectly natural way
brings the parts to their normal condi-
ton.
The remedy does. it's 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 neglect
ed it frequently developes into flstula
or some equally fatal or incurable trou-
bic, whereas by the timely use of this
simple but effective remedy no 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 poisons
and is also very reasonable in price. It
is sold in drug stores everywhere at so
cents per package. The manufactur-
ers of the remedy are the Pyramid
Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich, who have
placed this excellent preparation before
the public only after giving it thorough
and repeated tests in the hands of re-
putable physicians. The results in hum
dreds of cases have convinced US that
it will not disappoint you.

WAR SONG CONCERT.
Stirring Programme to Be Presented
at McVicker's Theater on Sun
dav Evening.

Chicago, April 23.-A patriotic war
song concert will be given at McVick-
er's theater on Sunday night, which will
include many stirring features. Con-
ductor Brooke and the Chicago Marine
band will occupy the stage, and Profess
sor Doehne and McVicker's orchestra
will furnish the incidental music.
1t is expected that by Sunday a wave
of patriotic fervor will be sweeping over
the land that will put the people in
mind of the stirring times of 1861, when
war song concerts did almost as much
to make patriots as did the underlying
principles of the great struggle of that
momentous four years of strife.
Conductor Brooke has arranged a
program of music that he believes will
be received with wild enthusiasm, and
aside from this there will be program
of patriotic specialties, including several
prominent soloists.

NO CIGARETTES IN JAIL.
Prisoners Are Notified by the Chicago
Jailer They Can Have None
After Monday.

Chicago, April 23.-The practice of
smoking cigarettes, in the minds of
Sheriff James Pease and Jailer John
Whitman, is too obnoxious to be per-
n1itted longer even in the county JAIL
and accordingly an order has been is
sued by them that on and after April
rs no cigarettes will be allowed in the
North Side bastile
Many of the prisoners are loud in
their protests against the order and
say it is unjust, as others are to be al
lowed to smoke anything from a stogie
to a clay pipe or to a Key West cigar
or meerschaum.
But the sheriff and the jailer are
firm. They say the order was due in
part to the fact that cigarette smoke
is too malodorous to be endured in such
large quantities, but chiefly to the fact
users of cigarettes have persisted in
supplying boy prisoners with them.

SHUN MR.. CLEVELAND.
The Cleveland Presbytery Thinks He
Ought Not to Be Guest of the
Denomination.

Cleveland, O., April 23.-At the meet
ing of the Cleveland Presbytery here
today the ministers decided by resolu-

influence to the support of saloons.
The ministers also considered the fact
that eX-President Cleveland was to be
a guest at the meeting of the Presby
terrain assembly at Winona, Ind, next
month, and that he had favored the
sale of liquor at Princeton Inn. They
decided that one who favored the sale
of liquor under such circumstances
ought not to be invited to such a gath
ering.

author. On his former appearance in
this city Mr.. Clement was enthusiastic

accustomed summer vacation, and I'M
less he gets rest within a short time
he will be a very sick man. DR.. Wood,
