CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the Ney
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures everv
form of Piles without one particle of
pain. This desirable point is not oh
tained by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyZe the
nerves of the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But it is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
is rapidly accomplished
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle of pain.
This fact is one reason for the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind of treatment for piles
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to allow
it to be classed with the many salves.
SuppoSitOries, pills, etc, and you run
no risk in trying it, as is often the case
with new and untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of AL
bion, Mich. and sold by druggists al

WASHINGTON, April "a generally
quieter feelingrwas evident today at the
war and navy departments where. i'm
contrast to the feverish excitement of
the past week, the tone was almost
apathetic. While there was the usual
amount of routine attendant upon the
recent work of, pFepara ton, things set
tied down almost to the normal.
No more contracts for new vessels
were closed by the navy department,
and no changes in the stations of ships
announced. Today was also notable for
the absence Of the conferences Of high
officials. and the great tide Of visitors,
congressman, public men and contrac-
tors almost entirely disappeared.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, of
the war department, made public a
statement showing that up to this time
there had been allotted to the depart
fund of $50,000,O0O appropriated by
congress. The different bureaus re-
ceiving this money are: Ordnance, $4,-
233,767; engineers, $4,425, 900; quarter
masters, 100000; signal offices, $12O, ,000
OF the entire amount allotted 1927, ,805
has been expended. but as much of the
work begun and the munitions Of war
bought is by the contract system, the
government is liable for considerable Of
the remainder.
The navy department has about eX-
hausted the field offered by the Euro
pean ship yards for the purchase Of
ships for the United States navy The
officials are still keeping a careful look
out for any vessels that may possibly
be obtained abroad, but they do not be-
lieVe that if war occurs soon any can
be obtained. "-*
Naval Campaign.
The plan of action for the naval
forces in event of hostiiities is now
several weeks constant work on the
part of the officers to whom was en-
trusted this important feature of the
war preparations.
While these plans are naturally most
closely guarded, it may be stated on
high authority that one feature Of
them contemplates dash by the flying
squadron, under Commander Schley, to
the Canary islands.
This proposition is as yet tentative,
as all projects, subject to unforeseen
conditions, must be, but has received
most careful consideration by the naval
authorities.
AS outlined by a high naval officer,
the plan is that in event of declara-
ton Of war the flying squadron, as
it is now composed, or possibly with
the addition of az few more ships, will
Immediately start for the East, with
the Canaries as it's destination Naval
officials do not think that it would be
a difficult task for so powerful a fleet
to establish a station at that point,
and, operating from it as a base, harass
the coast of Spain. From that point
the squadron could not only be placed
advantgeously to intercept Spanish
merchantmen, but would be in posi-
ton, should circumstances demand or
warrant so desperate venture, to at
tack a seaport. It was also pointed out
by this officer that to seize and hold
the Canary islands would be a severe
blow to Spain, inasmuch as the islands
lie between the Cape Verde islands and
Spain, and in direct line with the route
to Cuba.
The Saint Paul globe., 1898-04-07

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The delay
in the settlement of the Cuban ques-
ton, involved in the announcement that
the presidents message would proba bly,
not be sent to congress before next
Monday was received in the senate
with varying degrees Of favor or dis
favor, depending largely ON the pre-
dilections and personal political asso-
Citations of senators.
All united in admitting the neces-
sity for protecting the safety of Gen.
Lee and the other American citizens in
Cuba. Many, however, were inclined
to criticise because our citizens had
not been removed heretofore, while
others declared protection for them
should have been sent to Havana.
1T is a humiliating spectacle" said
Senator Quay (Pa), "that with our
fleet within ninety miles of Havana
we are not able to protect our people
in that port
''The request" said Senator Proctor
merely illustrates the character Of the
people we are dealing with in this mat
ter"
The intense Cuban sympathzers on
on both sides of the senate chamber
were free in their expression of opinion
that there was some motive for the
delay that did not appear on the sur
face. They did not question the good
faith of the representation as to the
danger of Americans in Cuba, but they
agreed that there must have been other
causes for the administrations course
When the Madrid bulletin stating the
probability of an armistice in Cuba was
made known, they found in it a veri-
fication of their surmises.
At one time during the afternoon the
indication was strong that disatiSfac-
ton would find voice in the open ses-
clio cf 10 l,1,t tnncn vbn fo1f
disposed to discuss the question We're
restrained largely from a feeling of
delicacy because not fully certain of
their ground. 20
The conservative element did not find
encourag agement in the situation. They
were not dispfeased over the prospect
of delay. but they expressed regret at
Of the fact of5danger to Americans in
Cuba said one of them, will set the
country aflame, and the war spirit will
be more rampant tomorrow than ever"
Senator Elkins was among the con-
servatives who expressed apprehension
as to the effect of the reports from
Gen. Lee, but he found great encour-
settlement of the difficulty. Other con-
servative senators were inclined to
minimize the armistice report.
The personal followers of the presi-
dent declined to see any other reason
for his action than that of conserving
the safety of Americans in Cuba, and
said that for him to have taken any
other course would, under the circum-
stances. have been inconsiderate and
inhuman, and therefore not like the
president. Altogether the days pro-
ceedings had the effect Of leaving con-
gress in an unsettled condition, but it
also relieved the tension to a percep-
tible degree
