Of the empress dOwager, is one Of his confidential advisers.
 The emperor was born in 1871, is the son of Prince Chun, seventh brother of the Emperor Hien Feng, and succeed ed to the throne by proclamation, at the death of Emperor Tung-Chi in 1875. He is the ninth emperor of China Of the Manchu dynasty of Tsing, which overthrow the native dynasty of Ming in 1644. There exists in China no law of hereditary succession to the throne It is left to each sovereign to appoint his successor from among the members of his family of a younger generation. The la.e emperor died suddenly and the empress dowageT, his widow, appointed the pT1sent emperor.
 The empress dowager vii be 64 years old next month. She is said to be a most remarkable woman, and she has besn practically the ruler of China for the past generation. She was the sec ondary wife or the first concubine of the Emperor Hiem ung, who died along about the time of the beginning g of our civil war, and she has been prac- tically the boss of the harem and the empire since then.
 She was at the head Of ths empire during greater part of the Kaiping rebellion. She managed it's affairs during its war with France, and she had a little taste of Russian supremacy in her fuss with the czar of some years ago She is said to have mind of her own, and all of the Chinese respect and fear her She is a stickler as to form. and she insists that all business shall be done through the young emperor, though she really directs what he is to do.

WHEN MILES WAS IN EUROPE.
Something Which Germany Has Dis
 covered Since His Visit to Berlin.

Today the name of General Miles is pretty we'll known this side Of the ocean, but year ago, when he visited Berlin on his European tour, nobody here knew anything Of the man. True his card credited him with the rank of majoTgeneral in the American army A majcr-general in Germany, forscoth? !? There are hundreds of major-generals here, besides a small army Of retired cnes. A major-general in Germany usually commands a brigade of about six thousand and not even so small an army as the American then was There are numerous high officers ahead of him here, such as the lieutenant-gen- erals (of whom, too, the woods are fulD, the commanding generals. the field marshais and finally the comman- der-in-chief, who is the emperor mention all this to explain why the ar rival of General Miles in Berlin year ago created no stir-not even at the Reichshof hotel, where he stopped

then On seTni-oficial business for Uncle Sam He applied to the embassy here for aid and explanation. Both were vouchsafed him cheerfully. A day or two later there was a big fall parade on the Templehof field here and the emperor on this occasion had General Miles presen ted to him and spoke a few pleasant words to him. This was not quite what Miles had expected, as he had hoped for a special audience, but 1t was as much as the emperor was willing 50 do for mere majpr-general without a special mission to him.
 And then General Miles and his aide were furnished splendid charges On the parade ground and a suite, and they were given the military salrte. All of which vas eminently satisfactory and helped considerably i1 modifying the American warrior. Then, too, he was invited to several military banquets and other festivities, and at one of them-it was the Second Guard regi- ment-the colonel commanding, hay ing heard that it was the birthday of General Miles, made a very neat and 1attering dinner speech in honor of his guest, to which Miles, knowing no Ger man, made reply in vigorous English.
 To this day, am told, General Miles is not aware of the fact that all these courtesies and attentions were solely due to the phenomenal eXertionS made m his behalf by the embassy, not in an official capacity for that would have had no effect in cast-iron tradition Germany, but by using to thsI utmost the social influence it's various mem bers command. Probably if General Miles should come now to Berlin, how ever, the attentions shown him would be really official ones.

A 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 ana intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
Inc usual treatment has been some Sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
give temporary relief, but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
pies 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
snort 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 it
was supposed TO contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs, but such is not the case.
A 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 a package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight.

surveying the congressional field with a
view TO locating a claim to MIR. Tate's

Representative Griggs has introduced a
OIL providing for the permanent establish
ment OF a free delivery mail service i'm the

prlaton OF SlOO0,000 TO inaugurate the sys-
tenn Ever since he was assigned to the
committee on postoftices Judge Griggs has
devoted much time to study Of this par

been made, and having reached the con-
clusion that a free delivery of mail along
