COLONIAL CIVIL COURTS
The Power of the President to Es-
tablish Them Questioned
Arguments Against Executive Proc
1nmatsOns-The Louisiana Tribunal
of 1862 Cited ax "a Precedent-A
Test Case Being Argued Before the
United States Supreme Court.

The United States Supreme Court has
ality of a civil court created by a pro,.a
| nation from the President. The tern
civil court as applied to this case is 4
distinction from court-martial and ma;
apply to criminal prosecutions as well al
to civil proceedings.
In August last A. c. Farrar- Hickey wa:
convicted Of criminal offence by cour
dent in Porto Rico. His attorney has ap-
pealed from the conviction on the ground
that it was illegal because the court was
not a constitutional one.
Lawyers of note say in reference to this
legal question that IL is knotty one, and
that its determination will establish a
precedent. The court was established at
the instance of the War DepaI tment which
has, at present, exclusive jurisdiction over
the military and civil operations in the
recently acquired colonial posse szions, and
1t will be urged by the War Department
that the right OF the President 20 establish
a civil court by proclamation is unques-
toned.
ptHcIdi t-iSDtF, Juuee faiNO-dlt 6CEti IL
Of the Army, said today that the Govern
rnent has precedent for the creation OF
courts by proclamation in the case of the
provisional court in Louisiana, which was
established by proclamation of the Presi-
dent in 1862. The exigency arising from
the war was deemed a sufficient reason for
such action at that time.
THE constitutionality OF this Louisiana
court was questioned said ne. and the
United States Supreme Court was appealed
to. This court decided that the provisional
court was legal and constitutional. Pub
,ic policy made IL necessary to have such
a court. When President Mckinley issc ed
his proclamation creating a civil court in
Porto Rico he followed the case Of the pro-
visional court of Louisiana as precedent"
General Leiber declined to discuss tEe
question of constitutionality. for the rea-
son that he is at present engaged in pre-
pairing a brief in a case that touches upon
this very question. The brief. i is un-
derstood has been asked for by the War
Department
Several assistant attorneys general gere
asked today for an opinion respecting the
question. but they declined to give one.
alleging as reason that the Department
OF Justice may at any time be called upon
by the Government to render an opinion.

demands Of the number and necessitated

DOES THE WORK.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain,
TrifinE Expense A Simple,
Harmless Remedy. But
1t Does the Work.

1t Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people
have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring them
on, any extra exertion, as in lifting will
produce them, and in fact will often appear
without any apparent -proyocation. Piles,
however are much more serious than a
cold, as the tendency is always to grow
worse until the trouble becomes deep seat
ed and chronic, or develops into some fatal
rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but at
the same time makes a permanent cure,
and that is the well known Pyramid Pile
Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple,
harmless vegetable ingredients, but COM
bined SO effectively and act so promptly
and thoroughly that it cures every form
Of piles whether itching, blind, bleeding. or
protruding
In long standing cases the Pyramid Pile
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
except surgical operation, and its advan-
tages over an operation are many, a. 1t is
painless, causes no delay or interference
with daily occupation, and last but not
least, 1t is cheaper than any surgical ope-
ration could possibly be.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are SO few that physicians
are doing away with operations for piles
and depending upon this cheap but effective
remedy to accomplish complete cure, and
it never disappoints except in cases beyond
the reach Of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared By
the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall. Mich.
and for sale by druggists everywhere at so
cents per package. Each package contains
treatise on cause and cure OF piles. to-
gether with testimonials from every Sec
ton of this country

FOUR OK ONE GALLO Tvs
Four Negroes Hanged-Three for Crims
inal Assault and One for Murder

Baltimore, July 2S.-Upon one scat
fold and simultaneously four negroes
were at 9:4S o'clock a.. m. today usher
ed into eternity, in the Baltimore city
Jail yard. Three of the men, Corne-
illus Gardner, John Myers and Charles
James, paid with their lives for crimi-
nally assaulting Annie Bailey, a 13-
year-old negress, while Jos. Bryan, the
fourth member of the quartette, killed
Mary Pack, a negress, with whom he
had lived.
A fifth negro, Daniel Rodgers, CON
victed of killing his brother-in-law,
Charles Lewis, was to have occupied
the same scaffold, but his sentence was
committed to life Imprisonment by
Governor Lowndes.
The necks of James, Myers and
Bryan were broken by the fall and
they died almost instantly. Gardeners
cap became disarranged in the fall,
and his contorted face was visible to
the spectators. He was apparently con-
scious about n moment, after which
he slowly strangled. This accident,
which vas entirely unavoidable, was
perfect execution.
The remains Of the four men were
turned over to undertakers to be buried
at the direction of the families of the
dead men.
