FOOLISH TALK.

O6naGOr 0aCc, OL 4euu0SSe0s I'LL
burdened himself of some very
profound thoughts in Fresno, on
Wednesday, saying, among other
things, that he opposed Hawaiian
annexation "because it was in viola
tion of the principles of the Monroe
doctrine and because it represents
a violation of the spirit and genius
of our government; moreover, be-
cause we want no such representa-
tives as the races of Hawaii and the
Philippine islands would send US. I
am equally opposed to the colonial
system, because this system would
cause US to follow in the footsteps of
monarchies. 1t would lead US in the
path that led republican Rome to
destruction. Colonization means
centralizatlon; Capitalization means
Imperialism and large standing
army. This last is one of the evil
consequences to be dreaded from the
present war in the Philippines"
These observations were made, no
doubt, with sincerity, but they will
strike not few people as having a
good deal of rubbish in them, says
the Spokesman Review. 1t is all
very well to talk about the spirit
and genius Of our government, but
it is doubtful if that spirit or genius
is being violated any more by the
present-day spread of Anglo Saxon
energy and culture than it was when
the Pilgrims began civilizing Indians
in Massachusetts with blunderbusses,
when the people of the London
company began chasing savages into
the swamps of Virginia, or when the
settlers along the Atlantic coast be.
gan to swarm over the Allegheny
mountains to appropriate lands which
had formerly been redskin hunting
grounds.
The senator's talk about centrali
zation and Imperialism and monarch
les also partakes Of some of th'
characteristics of twaddle. Thi
bugaboo is something which clear
headed people don't take very serl
ously, and. when public mai
touches upon 1T it is usually mer,
play of words utilized for the pur
pose of soaring timid persons. Cen
tralizatlon means imperialism, say
the senator, which is, of course, al
insinuation that we are going to Civ,
up the republic and resort to som
sort of autocratic government hk,
that of the czar of Russia.
This Is all balderdash. The Amer
lean people are not going to b
frightened by the cry of imperialism
because there is nothing in it. Their
will be no more danger of centraliza
ton or of a charge of governmen
with Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines in our possession than ther
was when VIC purchased Alaska an,
began to run it as an outlying colony
All this talk about imperialism an,
Caesars and standing armies is large
lV claDtraD.

WAS A BRIDE AT FIFTEEN
YOUNG GIRL ASKS THE SUPERIOR
COURT TO SET HER FREE.
A Divorced Wife Seeks to he Declared
OF Sound Mind in the Cir
cult Court.

Judge McMaster, of the Superior Court,
yesterday heard evidence in the suit OF
Sylvia Pearl Preston against Raymond g..
Preston, to annUl a marriage contract. The
plaintiff is very young. She was married
to Preston on Sept. 10 last in the city of
Louisville. The defendant is not yet of age,
and he was represented in court by Oran n.
Muer, who was appointed his guardian ad
Item. 1t appears that the family of young
Preston did not learn of the marriage until
the pair returned to the city and in a short
time he was persuaded to return to his
home. The father of the young wife testi-
fled that he knew the marriage was to take
place. The girl was but little past fifteen
when she was married. Judge McMaster
did not decide the case yesterday.
Mary Price, colored, was granted a divorce
from Albert Price, who was formerly a
Baptist preacher of this city. The plaintiff
and defendant were married in 1873 and sep
arated in January, 1894. According to the
complaint filed by Mrs. Prices attorney, she
was deserted by the defendant. The COM
plant further charged that Price once shot
at his wife.
Other divorces were granted in the coun-
ty courts yesterday as follows: Barbara e.
Jordan from James Jordan; Verda Miller
from Charles Miller; Ada M. Reed from
James l.. Reed; Lemuel r. Greenwood from

FOUR X DID 1T
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience OF
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers OF
the new discovery for a cure of all forms OF
piles, known under the name Of pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such as
to warrant the Investigation of any sufferer.
AS a case in point the following letter
speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 3,
Hosack avenue. Columbus, o., writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen-I want you to use my name
If ii viii be of any use TO you. / was so bad
with piles that I lost work on that account.
Nothing helped me. / read in Cincinnati
of the many cures of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and l went TO a drug store and
asked for II. The drug clerk told me that
he had something else that he thought was
! better. but / told him that l wanted TO try
the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that I
tried another, and then TO complete the cure
used two more boxes, making four IN all. I
am now completely cured. Have not q trace
Of piles. and / had suffered for four years
with the worst kind OF protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but ] have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure TO be just az
represented. / have 1t TO sew
eral Of my friends and am thankful to be
able to write you what good the remedy has
done me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
| Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine
or mineral poison OF any kind, and because
1t is SO safe and pleasant TO use, being pain
less and applied at night. The patient is
cured in a surprisingly short time and with
no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold By drug
gists at 80 cents per package, and II there IS
any constipation it is well to use the Pyra-
mid pills at the same time with the Pile
Cure. as constipation Is very often the
cause Of piles, and the pills effeetqally re-
move the costlve condition. Price Of Pills IL
as cents per package.

permits county commissioners to levy a tax
of l per cent. Of the taxable property of the

freeholders who desire to aid in the con-
struction of railroads or the location of

vote by which Senator News bill allowing
Marion county to levy a tax to AID the
fact that one of the local educational insti-
tutions were inclined to protest against the
advantages which would accrue to it's COM
petitor by the working of the act. Senators
Goar and Inman claimed that they had sup
ported the bill under a misapprehensiOn and
that they could now see where great abuses
might creep in under the proposed law. The
Marion county delegation did yeoman serv-
did nothing but give the whole people of
the county the right to levy a tax for the
benefit of any school or university they
saw fit to aid. On the vote for the recon-
sideration of the former vote of passage
twenty voted against the proposition, while
only seventeen voted in favor of recon-
sideration.

Mary e. Payne is suing John f. Payne

pensioner, and occasionally, when he drew
his pension money, would leave her and not
return until his funds were Utmost gone.
She says that in the month of May follow
ing the marriage Payne removed their fur
n!ture from the house, and for a time lived
away from her. He came back again, she
says, and ent-eated her to live with him.
She consented, and they did live together
until the early part of the present month.

attacked her with q machete, which he
had procured somewhere in the South, and
chased her into the street.

CASE OF MRS. HATCHER.
She Asks the Court to Declare Her
of Sound Mind.

9AAG SAGAAS AhS Jul W win 4
of Sound Mind.
Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court. yes
terday heard evidence in the matter of the
guardianship of Mrs. Amanda NJ. hatcher,
who is asking that she be declared Of sound
mind and that the guardianship be vacated.
The petitioner is the former wife of Harry
NJ. hatcher, a ~well-known citizen of Frank
fort. She has resided in this city about
two years. Prior to her coming here her
husband procured a divorce. At the time
the decree was granted Mrs. hatcher was
in Pennsylvania. and claims she knew moth
ing about the proceedings. She brought suit
at Frankfort to have the decree set aside
on the ground that she was of unsound
mind at the time il was procured. hatcher
had the case Venued to Hamilton county.
After the divorce was granted John G..
Clark, of Frankfort, was appointed guar
dian of Mrs. hatcher. While it is asserted
that she was mentally unbalanced at the
time the divorce was granted, it is averred
that the woman has entirely recovered.
The Hamilton count court has declined to
hear the proceedings to set the divorce aside
unless Mrs. hatcher appears as the plaintiff,
and this she cannot do as long as she is
under the control of a guardian and is
known as a person Of unsOund mind. Judge
Allen expressed some doubt yesterday as to
his right to hear the petition. He is not
sure that the case comes within his juris-
diction. He is of tine opinion, he said, that
the petition should have been filed with the
judge who declared the woman to be of un-
sound mind.

called attention to something peculiar on

found that the object was a horse shoe OF

an acorn must have fallen into the hollow

founded in Buffalo, N. Y, known as the
1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
which has since become one of the most
famous institutions in the world for its
enormous benefits TO the sick and suffering
all over the United States. Thousands
lave come there for treatment and tens of
thousands lave received professional adj
vice by mail with suggestions for inexpen-
sive home-treatment, whereby they have
been cured of severe, and IN many in
stances, apparently hopeless diseases.
A Massachusetts man, Mr.. John Brooks, of
Boylston, Worcester Co, writes: About a year
ago / was taken with a bad cold which settled
on my lungs. The doctors said 1 was in con-
sumption and could not get well. / took Enul-
sion Of Cod Liver Oil and it did me no good.
After taking it four months I heard of your
for advice. I have taken your medicine and it
saved my life. I fels so sick when I wrote to
you that I thought 1 would not live through the
winter. In the morning / raised an awful lot
and would spit all the time and had pains in my
chest. My bowels would not move more than
once or twice a week; my strength was nearly
gone; I could not do a whole days work. Now,
my bowels are regular every day and I feel no
more pain in my chest. I feel a great deal
stronger. l am working hard every day, driv-
ing a team in the woods, and I owe my thanks
to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1
know it saved my life"
The most difficult diseases to cure are
those which are aggravated by constipation.
