The photographer was then called

UNION SIGNALS CONDITION.
Mrs. Grow gave a report of the finan-

the association, and said that Miss

IN A FEW WORDS.
Sufferers From Piles May Learn of a
Harmless, Lasting Cure.


There are plenty of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure a mild
case of piles, but there is only one
which can be depended upon with Ger

sought in vain for cure. He says:
L have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and / know that Ii is all that is CLAIM

piles more or less for about eighteen
years and l had tried other remedies.
but the piles grew worse until about
ten months ago 1 used the Pyramid

Having repudiated responsibility for
the Willard Temple debt the w. c. T.
y. now proposes TO go further and
withdraw entirely from all other afll-
lated interests which It has Endorsed.
but over which it has no direct con-
troll These are the Womans Temper
ance publishing association, the Union
Signal, and the Frances e Willard
National Temperance Hospital in Chi
cago. The delegates to the convention
did not act upon the suggestion but
referred IL to the post-executive COM
mittee. upon whom will devolve the
responsibility Of continuing or dropping
them
The subject was not brought before
the convention until late yesterday af-
teTnoon. The delegates were preparing
TO adjourn the final business session
and were DOMINIC their wraps when
Mrs. a. 5. Benjamin, OF Michigan,
sprung the surprise of the day

In view Of past experience II is the
sense OF this convention that hereafter
the w. c. T. u. should withhold It's
Endorsement and hold itself entirely
aloof from all affiliated interests over
which il has and can have no con-
troll"
Instantly everybody was all atten-
ton and 1t was not necessary for
President Stevens 10 rap for order.
Does that proposition have any eff
feet on our present affiliated inter
ests?' asked Mrs. Boole. OF New York.
1T would have an effect over every
interest over which we have not and
cannot have control" replied Mrs
benjamin.
ASTONISHED THE DELEGATES.
The delegates seemed astonished and
FOR once at "A loss for words. Mrs. Ben
Jamin FASTENED TO their rescue

this resolution up at so late an hour
but l presented il on the first day OF
the convention 10 the executive COM

And so l have waited until the very
last one was In.
What has given US all our trouble, y
continued Mrs. BENJAMIN. has been
Endorsing interests over which we have
and can have no control While we
feel kindly toward them we ought not
to indorse any such interest. IL is n

This beautiful loye-ldyl did not remain a

were the last to see il. Miss Hastings, how
ever, had watched its progress, thankful that
her prophecy about her favorlte was TO come

LINCOLN AND PULLMAN.
How the R~ail-Splitter Got tho better of
the l.. u. =. &. Man.

Once upon a time, away back in the
COS, there was only M Pullman ear.
That was known as car A. 1t cost
s., 000-somo Of them cost $40, 600 now.
Car A ran out of Chicago on the Alton
Road. George M. Pullman had evolved
it. When his idea had been put into
wood he mounted it on sixteen wheels
and attached it to a train. Then he,
personally, sold the right to sleep in it
for fifty cents a chance-or 90 cents q
risk, if you prefer it, for it was about
n man out of five who could sleep in
car A of the COS.
Fifty cents was the price and two in
n berth was the rule, as unswervable as
the laws of the Modes and Persians. II
some sybarite wished to sleep by him
self and was extravaganza enough to pay
for the luxury, he paid 81. Then he
temporarily owned the berth.
One night going out Of Chicago, a
long, lean, ugly man, with q wart on
his cheek, came into the depot. He
paid George M. Pullman 30 cents and
half a berth was assigned him. Then he
took off his coat and vest and hung them
up, and they fitted the peg about as we'll
rs they fitted him. Then he kicked of
his boots, which were of surprising
length, turned into the berth, and, hav-
ing an easy conscience, was sleeping
like a healthy baby before the car left
the depot.
Along came another passenger and
paid his 80 cents. In two minutes he
was back at George Pullman.
There's n nan in that berth of mine, y
said he, hotly, "and he's about 10 feet
high. How am | going to sleep there,
I'd like to knowP Go and look at him."
In went Pullman-mad, too. The
tall, lank mans knees were under his
chin, his arms were stretched across the
bed, and his feet were stored comfort
ably-for him. Pullman shook him un-
til he awoke and then told him if be
wanted the whole berth he would have
to pay 81.
"My dear sir" said the tall man, "a
contract is a contract. l have paid you
80 cents for half this berth, and, as you
see, Pm occupying it. There's the other
half" pointing to a strip about 6 inches
wide. "Sell that and don't disturb me
again" And, SO saying, the man with
q wart III his face went to sleep again.
He was Abraham Lincoln. --PiHSburl

Philadelphia Times: The accuracy OF the
modern rined III is one OF the wonders
that is appreciated by a comparatively
few persons. 1t can be readily appreciated
how a man with a small rifle can become
an expert m~arksman, but to shoot accur-
ately with a big Q. s or 12-inch gun is a
marvel of modern engineering. Accuracy
with big guns Is comparatively modern.
In days gone by when In a naval conflict
broadsides were poured at the enemy IL
was not so much due to the sure eye OF the
gunner as Ii was to luck. OF recent years,
however, the gunners on board naval YES
sells have been aided by a scientific device
known as a range finder.
Lieutenant Fiske of the United States
navy invented the first and best device of
this kind known. It is based on the prin-
ciple of land surveying with a transit and
engineering chain. If n surveying party
comes TO a broad river whose width has
been determined, q base line Is measured
along the bank. and the angles which this
line makes with n mark on the opposite
pank are measured by the transit. Then,
knowing the length OF the base line and
the two angles, the distance across the
river can be determined by trigonometry.
Applying this TO the range finder, a base
line Is carefully measured between two
points near opposite ends OF the ship, and
over each point n range finder, answering
TO the engineers transit, is permanently
set up. If the telescopes OF the two finders
are simultaneously conveyed upon the
same point on n distant object (ship. fort
ress or city, the observers will be i'm pos
session of the trigonometrical data neces-
sary to compute the distance, namely, the
base of the two base angles.
In the din. hurry and slaughter of "A sea
night, however, IL would be difficult "a
make the necessary calculations, as the
distance between the ships, and therefore
the observed angles, keeps changing. and
In order to make the determination OF the
distance automatic, Lieutenant Fiske
placed his telescopes in the circuit of a
Wheatstone bridge n caused their
change OF position TO record the distance
of the object on the graduated scale of a
delicate galvanometer. All hat was now
necessary was for the observers at the
W range finders to keep the cross-hairs
OF the telescope upon the same point OF
the ship, and the electric. current tran
slated, as IL were, the angles into distan.
ces and recorded them by the movement of
q ne9dle over an arc graduated into hun
dreds and thousands Of yards.

A nation must mourn for the forms that
are cold,
And yet with the dawn of the NOR
row,
Old Noeh'N Oh
Comes forth from the ashes of sor-
row.
When cannon the requiem sound where
they sleep;
When the pyre Is a battle-wrecked
city,
When the shore line is wet with the tears
OF the deep,
What mortal shall venture his pity?
What is life, after all, but a brief chance
to be
A memory that others may cherish?
And the hero whom longest men love nav
be he
Who was first in the conflict to perish.
