A GREAT REMEDY
For Sufferers From Plies

Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study and treatment of piles and rectal diseases, recently stated that the Pyra- mid Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure of piles, was the most remark able remedy he had ever seen or tried in one respect; and that was the in- stant relief experienced in all cases, no matter how severe, from the moment the remedy was applied. This was the more surprising to him because he had caretully analysed the preparation and no trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison. could be detected Physicians look with great favor up- on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because 1t IS rapidly taking place of surgical op- eratlons and because 1t is so simple, so easily applied and contains no mineral or other poisons so commonly used in cures.
 Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyr- amid Pile Cure not only cures the va rlous forms of piles, but never fails to give immediate relief on the first ap- pHcatlon, no matter how severe the pain or discomfort may be.
 People who have suffered from piles Tor years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the 1lrst application. Another important advantage is the fact that anyone can use the remedy without detention from business or interference with daily oc- cupation. Sold by druggists at 50 cents per package.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
tContinued from First Page.)

opinion that the fourth floor, both on account of safety and health of pupils, ought not to be used except for occa- sional work and not for regular full session work.
 There are five recitation rooms be- low the fourth floor which are wholly unsuitable for school purposes. I refer to the two hall recitation rooms and to the three rooms in the annex. These pocket rooms which were never de- signed for school rooms, are without proper light and injure eyesight. These rooms are without other ventilation tahn that which comes from the win- dows and therefore injure the general health of pupils. After each room has been used by two or three successive classes the condition of the air for pro- noting either good health or good S holarship can be better imagined than described.
 Moreover, it Is question whether the rear room on the north side in the basement should be used for session room purposes as it is at present, on account of the poor light.
 The fourth or top story, railways and annex have been brought into use in order to expand a building designed for 450, to accommodate the 500, $50, 700 and 800 pupils as the successive years have brought here in common with all other cities, greatly increased demands, for high school education. In my judgment BOO pupils is the limit of suitable accom- modation in the Hillhouse High school. Even with that number the building Is very far in it's lighting, ventilation and accommodations, from what is the now almost universally accepted idea of what a school building should be.
 Can 300 pupils be taken away from the Hillhouse and accommodated in the Boardman building?
 There are now 257 pupils in the Board- man school. On account of the change from a three years course to a four wears course no class will be graduated in June, so that the school will lose no pupils by graduation. The enrolment of the school has increased as follows: In 1895 there were 154 pupils in the school in October; in the corresponding month in 1896, 1S9; 1S97 211; 1898, 255. Upon a conservative estimate there will be 355 pupils in the Boardman school one year from now.
 It would be unwise to transfer pupils from the Hillhouse school to Boardman now and send them back again next September. It is necessary to compute possible accommodations at Boardman. not simply upon the basis of it's present enrolment, but upon it's probable en- rollment next September.
 In addition to this number of 335, number which will increase to 360 a year from next fall, can the Boardman building accommodate the scientific pu- pils or the commercial pupils? Or is 1t feasible or wise to transfer 300 pupils from Hillhouse or 200 or 100? l believe not, provided we wish to carry out the wish of the donor of the Boardman school and maintain it as manual training school of the first class, wor- thy of the object for which the build ing was given to the city and worthy of the city.
 The Boardman building was planned, built and equipped for manual training

The dust of the immortal Columbus
will be removed from Havana to
Spain. The ceremonies have already
commenced. The restless spirit that
drove the great navigator to the new
world seems to pervade the withered
frame that lies within the new sar-
cophagus. From Valladolid, where
he died in misery, to the new world,
back to Spain, then back again to
San Domingo, then to Havana, and
here cast about from tomb to tomb,
with doubt thrown upon the identity
OF the remains. Now they are to go
back to Spain, the country that took
him up, then cast him into chains
and let him die in abject misery.
Spain made an appropriation several
years ago for the purpose of erecting
monument symbOlizing the travels
Of the discOverer, to be placed in the
most conspicuous place in Havana,
and the construction of a mausoleum
to hold his ashes. This mausoleum,
the work of the Spanish sculptor
Melida, was brought to Havana and
placed upon base erected in the
center aisle of the cathedral, close
to the main door. The monument, the

NEW PRACTICE SHIP.

A valuable addition to the new navy
will be the large steel practice ship
now in the process of construction In
the yard of the Bath iron works, at
Bath, Me. This new vessel, for the
building of which congress originally
appropriated $125,000 and for whose
completion, including armament,
100000 will be available, will be
known as the Chesapeake. She is
intended for the exclusive use of the
cadets at the naval academy at An
napolis, and will be one of the largest
and by all odds the finest practice ship
in the world. She will be remarkable
for her great sail carrying power, the
area of her principal sails being 49,
131 square feet and her sail area 49,
975 square feet. She will also have
the distinction of being the only sim
gle topsail ship afloat. The day of
sailing warships is past, but Uncle
Sam still holds to the theory that the
education of navigator or command
ing officer in the navy is not COM
plete unless he thoroughly under
stands the handling of a sailing ship
And he must be not merely theoretic-
ally competent, but practically so.
This applies to the ordinary seaman
as we'll as to the officer, and school
ships for apprentices, propelled by
sail power, are an important part of
the United States navy. Some one
has said that it only requires months
to make a good soldier, but years to
make a good sailor, and every Ameri-
can and English admiral will tell you
that the best officers and seamen in
the navy are men whose nautical
training began on board a sailing ship
Uncle Sam believes this thoroughly,
and has seen it proved many times by
experience. He now emphasizes this
by building the Chesapeake. On
board of this vessel and others like
her, the Deweys, Simpsons and
Schleys of the future will receive the
foundation and the most important
practical part of their professional
education.

Moreover, the fact that she lived
with her parents was protection
to her. The admiration of those
who worshipped at the shrine
of her beauty stood her in good
stead when the time came for
her to make her debut. She made
her first appearance in Gabrielle de
Belle Isle" at the Grand Oprea-House.
Her friends came to her aid and the
play was costumed and staged in the
most lavish fashion. Viola Dayan
took Kathrine Clemmons for her stage
name, and she was so known up to the
time of her marriage. She worked
hard to make sure of her success IN
the part. She had the best coaches
that could be secured. And there isn't
any doubt that she possessed consid-
cradle dramatic talent If she had
started at the beginning and worked
her way laboriously through the diff
erent stages it is reasonably certain
that Kathrine ClemmOns would have
won fame as an actress. Miss Glenn
mons was an accomplished horsewo
man, and several times appeared in
the quadrille on horseback during
the tour of the Wild West in England.
This was, of course, only as lark.
Jay Goulds will provided that, 'sIf
any of my children shall marry with
out the consent of a majority of the
then existing executors and trustees
under this will, then, and in that
event, the shares allotted to the child
rem so married, in and by said will and
codicil, shall be reduced one-half. ;"
There are now four executors
George, Helen, Edwin and Howard. To
comply strictly with the letter of the
will Howard should have had the as
sent of two other executors. Accord
ing to a close friend of the family he
was opposed by all. A New York
lawyer says Of the will: 81 think
without doubt, the courts of this
country would construe this prohibi-
ton as merely in terrorem, as against
public policy, as discouraging mar
riage, as unreasonable, and therefore
utterly void"

HOWARD GOULD'S BRIDE.
Woman for Whom Vast Patrimony
was Abandoned.

The career of the woman for whom
Howard Gould gave up $5,000,000 in
order to marry has been a remarkable
one. Much has been written about it.,
and there is much yet to be told. One
who has known Mrs. Howard Gould
for many years and in many lands tells
the subjoined facts about her life, de-
tails which have not before been made
public. Of course it is known that
Viola Dayan was born in Illionis, and
that she removed to San Francisco
with her parents when she was very
young. San Francisco first came to
know her as stenographer and type
writer in downtown railroad Office,
where she worked hard for a salary Of
about So week. She lived very
quietly with her father and mother IN
the Folsom House, a family hotel in
South Second street. 1t was about
fifteen years ago when Viola Dayan
first presented herself in Mrs. Mary
Snyder's dramatic studio on McAllis-
ter street. She said she was Mary
Andrews and that she wished to fit
herself for a stage career. She spoke
rather difidently. She was lovely,
ethereal blonde. She had a slender,
delicately rounded figure, fine moulded
features that suggested latent
strength, marvellous blue eyes, an ex-
quisite complexion, fine white teeth
and wealth of yellow nair. She was
very modest and unassuming She
seemed unconscious of her beauty.
She was dressed in the soberest black.
She was particular about the cost Of
tuition, for she admitted that she
could not afford to pay large sum.
1t was not long before Viola Dayan
began to attract attention. There
must be some peculiar property in the
climate Of California which puts SEN
timent into even the most busy men
and ambitious women. It was not
long before the young men about town
began to pursue the young aspirant
for the stage. They made a sort Of
queen of her. She had more invita-
tons than she could accept. The
adulation she received was sufficient to
turn the head of any woman, especial
ly a girl Of her age whose life had
been exceedingly quiet and uneventful,
But Viola Dayan did not forget that
she had decided upon a stage career
So while she enjoyed the opportuni-
ties for social gayeties presented to
her she did not give UP her study.

the bodies and the information had
been handed down by sections of one
generation to another. Spain removed
the body which the last of the SEX
tons indicated, but he may have been
in error.
To speak of the matter IN a little
more detail, it may be said that Column
bus died in 1906, and was ceremonious-
ly buried at Valladolid. Seven years
afterwards 1513) his remains were
moved to Seville and deposited in a
chapel of the monastery of Las CueVas,
where, in 1926, they were joined by the
body of his son Diego. In 1886 both
bodies were moved to Hispaniola and
deposited in the principal chapel Of
the cathedral of San Domingo. In
1895, when San Domingo passed 20
France, the Spaniards moved what was
believed to be the body of Columbus to
Havana; but the story is that they
took not Christopher, but Diego, and
the proof offered is that Columbus, by
his will, ordered the. chains he wore in
his Imprisonment to be buried with
him, which was done, but that the
coffin moved to Havana had no chains
in it. On this ground, and perhaps for
other reasons, the San Domingo people
have always averred that their cathe-
dral still held all that was left of Col
umbus; and perhaps they are right,
though their claims have never had
any standing in Havana or in Spain.

work on which was intrusted to the
sculptor Susillo, is still in Spain
Some doubt exists as to whether the
remains preserved so religiously in
Havana are really those of Columbus.
The vault of the Columbus family in
San Domingo contained the bodies of
three members of the family when
Spain decided to move his body.
There were no marks to distinguish
