AMOS HENRY ALLING.

With the ushering in Of a beautiful
Sabbath morning the soul of Amos
Henry Alling took its flight to an even
more beautiful home where the pains
and cares, the worries and tribulations
of this world are unknown If we were
to begin to review the life-work of this
man we would have to follow him UP
step by step through the long years Of
his life to the day he was stricken down
less than a week ago. 1t would be a
review Of an earnest, active life-a life
spent in doing good; life spent in
building up his town; life spent be-
fore men as open and as fair as the
pages of a book. For Amos Henry AL
ling was not a man whose work was
under cover. It was of such a charac-
ter that he had no fear of his. fellows
and no suspicion that what he did or
was about to do would be condemned
by those whose condemnation was. to
be feared or regretted.
From the time when he began his
business career up to the time when his
life's lamp went out, he persevered in
every undertaking on which he started,
and by his manly methods he won sue
cess. He was a benefactor of-EArby be-
cause he was interested in its building
up, in its political and social life, and
better yet, In its religious life. To him,
with his brother, Charles B. Alling. in a
great degree, Is due much of the influ-
ence Of Derby as a business center.
They used their money for new enter
prises. They built blocks for business
houses. They spent their wealth in en-
deavors to make the town where his
life was spent a goodly place Of resi-
dence; a town where industry could
thrive. He was active in those public
projects which were for the betterment
Of the people Of Derby. He was an en-
ployer Of labor and was always just,
fair and conscientious in his dealings
with his employees
None OF us know the amount Of his
charities because his was not the habit
Of parading before men in the gutse OF
Charity Yet that grace was his. He
gave, and gave literally, to the deserv-
ing And he gave not only of his sub
stance but Of his moral energy and his
intellectual powers. He never offered
ILLS advice, but when It was asked he
gave 1t as cool-headed business man
and as warm-hearted, sympathizing
friend. In his religious life he was not
rs the Pharisees are, but he was a
deeply thoughtful Christian man. He
belonged to the Methodist church and
his love for the church was as strong
and fruitful as his love for his owr
children.
Derby may we'll mourn for his de-
parted life. 1t may we'll don the
habillments of woe" and Join it's sor.
rows with those nearest and dearest to
him. The town will miss him; the PEG.
pie will miss him. His death has Gre
ated a void which 1t will take a long
time to fill.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR the Cure of Piles and Re ctaI
Diseases No Longer Necessary.
A Medical Discovery Which WIN Change
the Treatment of All Such Diseases.

A Medical Discovery Which WIN Change
the Treatment of All Such Diseases,
it has long been thought, not only
by some physicians but by people in
general, that the common, painful and
exceedingly annoying trouble, piles,
was practically inourable by any
other means than surgical operation
and this belief has been the cause of
years of needless suffering, because of
the natural dread of surgical opera
tons.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of
piles. but the Pyramid Pile Cure is the
only preparation so far introduced
that can be reliably depended upon to
cure, to stay cured, every form of Itch
ing, bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs M. c. Hinkley of COL Mississippi
street, indianapolis, was told by her
physicians that nothing but surgical
operation, costing between seven and
eight hundred dollars, could cure her,
as she had suffered for Is years; YET
even in such case as hers the Pyra-
AAiNt SolC cCSOilplioACo q Sohi-
plete cure. She says: II knew an op-
GRAFTON would be death to me and
tried the Pyramid with very little hope
and 1t is not to be wondered at that
am so enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. d. e. Reed Of South Lyons,
Mich, says: I would not take $500 and
be placed back where was before I
used the Pyramid Pile Cure. I suf-
fered for years and it is now eighteen
months since I used it and not the
slightest trace of the trouble has re-
turned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents and
$1.00 per package; ana as it contains
no opium, cocaine or other poisonous
drugs, can be used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excellent rem
edy a trial. Send for book on cause
and cure of piles, sent free by adj
dressing Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,

Profit Taking on Quite Heavy Scale on
the Market.

New York, Feb. 11.-There was profit
taking on quite a heavy scale in stocks
to-day, said to be for the account of
one Of the principal bull operators. The
interval Of two days before trading will
be resumed on the exchange was the
motive for closing up some accounts,
as is always the case on the eve of a
double holiday. The sharp advances
in some stocks at the opening afforded
the more favorable opportunity for
realizing profits. The opening rise was
largely Influenced by the higher quo
tations for Americans sent from Lon
don, and was also helped by the mark
ed strength of one or two specialties,
notably Metropolitan Street Railway
and Peoples Gas, the latter on the pub
lished report of the company's finances.
London bought stocks here on consid-
cradle scale and helped to sustain
prices to some extent But the offer
ings We're not well absorbed and sup
port was largely withdrawn from the
market.
The weakness Of stocks encouraged
the putting out of short lines. The
covering of some of these before the
close brought the level of the market
materially above the low point, but still
left net losses as a general rule There
were some very striking movements of
prices in special cases. Metropolitan
Street Railway continued It's remark
able advance, rising at one time six
| points, but closing two points below
| that. Third Avenue was up at one
| time 6h points on the announcement Of
| the acquisition of a large connecting
| system. The stock, however, reacted
| three points before the close.
| Some of the notable recent advances
are due to the rumored tendency of
plans for the distribution Of the sur
plus resource to the credit Of some Of
the gilt-edged properties. The prevail
ing abundance Of money is said to
make the care Of these surplus funds
increasingly burdensome. Such prop
erty is Pullman, which advanced an
additional point to-day, but reacted
two points in the closing dealings.
| Adams Express was ex-dividend of
per cent. to-day and ex-100 per cent.
bonds to be exchanged for stocks of
the company. The closing bid yester-
| day on the stock was 1877 and to-day's
| closing bid was 100 bid and 140 asked.
The days dealings in bonds contin-
ued on remarkably large scale, single
lots of par value from $4,000 to $3.50, O0C
changing hands frequently. The par
value of sales for the day of Atchison
adjustment fours alone was 1920, 600
Some Of the speculative bonds reacted
quite sharply in sympathy with stocks
but the general tendency was upward

ANGLO-AMERICAN SENTIMENT.
Typefied by a New Canadian Private
Postal Card.

Many Canadians are avowed advocates of
annexation of Canada to the United States.
Others are as vehemently opposed to the
plan. Yet the average subject of Queen
Victoria residing north of the boundary
line is fairly well disposed to Uncle SAM
so 1t Is not surprising to find now at hand
substantial evidence Of the Anglo-Ameri-
can sentiment created by the present war
with Spain and materially fcstered by Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain's Birmingham speech.
This token takes the form of an unofficial
postal card recently issued in Canada, a
cut of which appears herewith. Under the
