Things went along IN this groove for

Then Miss Redmond found that she

result was suit in the Superior Court

MANY NEW
PUPILS IN
THE SCHOOLS

The reports Of various principals of the
San Francisco public schools for the
month Of August, just received by the
clerk of the Board of Education, are of
interest at this time as showing the in
creased enrolment of pupils for the pres
ent school year. as compared with the
enrolment for the preceding year.
1t IS noticeable that large falling off
has occurred IN the attendance in the
manufacturing districts south of Market
street, while there has been a heavy gain
in attendance of the schools of the West
ern Addition, Noe Valley and Richmond
districts.
Owing to the fact that a few principals

The fluctuation In the attendance on the
various evening schools during the two

pupils. The heaviest loss is that shown by
the Lincoln Evening, which has 169 less
pupils this year than last.
The nine evening schools which have so
far reported show that the average at
tendance this year is almost the same as
last year, the total attendance of the nine
being 2943 In 1897 and 2940 in 1885, II is fair
therefore to assume that the remaining
evening schools will show about the same
averages, the loss in one being taken up

neither gain nor material loss in the at

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES

desirable point is not obtained by the use
OF injurious opiates, which simply dead

But it is done solely by its remarkable
healing and soothing effects.
And while 1t thus gives Immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked. but radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want 70 make clear
is that all this is done without a particle
Of pain.
This fact is one reason ior the great
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure. and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween ii and almost any other Kind Of
treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation fer
plies is excruciatingly painful, besides en-
dangering the life Of the patient, and in
most cases is not 10 be compared with

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion, or, in its chronic form. dys-
pepsia. and for the very reason that it is
so common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trifling stomach trouble, when. as a mat
ter of fact. indigestion lays the founda-
ton for many incurable diseases. No per-
son with a vigorous. healthy stomach will
fall a victim to consumption. Many kid
ney diseases and heart troubles date their
beginning from poor digestion; thin, ner-
yous people are really so because their
stomachs are out OF gear; weary. laDguid,
faded-out women owe their condition 10
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet Is
afflicted with weak digestion II is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims 10 be
cure for dyspepsia, as well as score OF
other troubles, when, In fact, as DR..
Werthier says, there is but one genuine
dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable. and, moreover, this remedy is
not a patent medicine, but II is a scienu-
nc combination OF pure pepsin free from
animal matter, vegetable essences, fruit
salts, and bisrluth 1t Is sold by drug

AS A GUARD OF HONOR
Children of the Confederate Museum
Change Their Title.

At a meeting of the Children's Aid So
ciety of the Confederate Museum yester-
day, it was decided to change the name
Of the organization to the Guard Of Honor
Of the Confederate Museum. The new
name was suggested as more appropriate
by Mrs. Joseph Bryan, the president OF
the Confederate Memorial Literary So
ciety. in her annual report in which she
spoke complimentary of the movement
of the young folks.
The children passed resolutions, which
saw in part: 1--WE will trust and en-
deavor that our new name may never be
a misapplied title to one Of us; that we
may not only be a Guard OF Honor 10
the Confederate Museum, but studying
the noble characters we are therein
memoralizing, we may each one in err
own state Of life emulate their virtues,
and ever be a Guard Of Honor to our
state and TO our country"
The resolutions are signed by Gamble
Bowers, the boys president, and Nellie
Sinton, the girls president.
