Among the remarkable recent discov-
cries of the Harvard College observatory
is that of the existence of many variable
stars in four well-knoMn star clusters in
the southern hemisphere, the most cele-
hrated Of which is the one called Omega
Centauri. The latest observations show
that no less than three hundred and
ninety variable stars are contained in
these clusters, and there may be many
more. II seems sufficiently remarkable
that these stars should be assembled in
such swarms--for in some Of the clusters
these are almost innumerable-bu the
interest is greatly heightened by the dis
coyery that so many Of them are unsteady
in their light, alternately faring up and
dying down in one another's presence,
like Pickering torches in the night of
space.

Again the menace of immigration is
talked Of When the country was hav-
ing hard times immigrants did not come.
but with the improvement the number of
undesirable immigrants is very large.
They are poor and ignorant, and 60 to
swell the ermy of men who are able to
do only the most common and coarsest
kind OF labor. There is now scarcely
enough of the rough labor for the en-
ployInent of those who, by virtue Of ma
tiYity or long time residence in the
country. have the first right to it at fair
wages. These people, who have become
accustomed to the more generous sus-
tenance of the country, should not be
forced to compete in regard to wages
with those who have been brought up to
live upon meager food, and are accus-
toned to the most scanty surroundings.
A large part of the labor trouble grows
out Of this crowding of the ranks of COM
mon labor. The requirement Of ability
TO read in some language would close the
hoodgates.

The recent negotiations upon the part
of the colonial secretary have not tended
to appease the peace party in England.
The Speaker declares that ito fight over
a question of etymotogy is unnatural,
impossible" by which the paper refers
to suzerainty being the whole base of the
dispute The Speaker, and some of the
other Liberal papers, take the view that
MIR. Chamberlain has made it as hard
as possible for President Kruger to &C
cept his terms. The Statist, commenting
on the financial position brought about
by the Transvaal crisis and the New
York stringency, says:
THE competition for gold during the
next few weeks promises to be great.
No gold is available in Australia for eX-
port, and we may have to send some
gold to the Cape instead Of receiving it,
and also meet the demand for Egypt to
nay for the cotton, as well as South
America. Beyond these considerations
we have the probability that America
and Germany will endeavor to obtain
gold at home. The usual autumnal drain,
consequently will further advance the
official minimum. 1t appears probable
that our own government will require to
raise a considerable loan, probably by
the use of treasury bills Such loan

Piles are painful, persistent, hard to
cure, but they can be cured. There is
just one remedy that will do it. 1t is a
recent discovery, but 1t has been on the
market long enough to have the endorse
lnent of leading physicians and the rec.
ommendation of thousands of cured pa
tients. d
Pyramid Pile Cure Acts quickly and
directly It cures the cause of the
trouble Cures It so that the effect is
permanent.
A great many salves and ointments
will give relief for few minutes. That
Is not what Is wanted. Pyramid Pile
Cure will cure any sort of piles; blind,
itching or bleeding. 1t will cure the
lightest or the most aggravated case.
The first application will do more good
than a dozen boxes of any Of the many
so-called cures now sold. Read these let
tiers. They are from people who have
tried it.
Mr.. J, w. Rollins, a gentleman living
at Sweet Springs, Mo-, writes briefly and
to the point regarding his experience
with Piles he says: consider the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure without an equal. 1t cured
me In less than thirty days. I waited
fifteen days or more to be sure the rem
edy had fully cured me before writing
you. 1 can now say am cured and I
shall recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure
at every possible opportunity because 1t
deserves It.

FIRST CAMPFIRE WARM.
Acker POSTS Opening Entertain
rnent an Entire Success

ment an Entire Success.
The open meeting or campfire given last
evening by Acker post, G.. A. R., was the
first of the series to be held on the fourth
Saturday of each month during the win
ter. If the remainder of the entertain
ments are as successful as the one last
evening the members Of the post can
certainly feel that the public takes an in
terest in the organization. Nearly 600
persons packed the post hall last night
and were entertained by a pleasing pro-
gramme Of vocal and instrumental selec-
tons and speeches.
The audience and members of the post
saluted the flag, which was carried into
the hall by a detail of the members to
the strains of martial music by the Nor
gan orchestra. Commander Patrick Hen
ry introduced Capt. 1. L. Mahan, chair
man Of the committee entertainment,
who welcomed the friends Of the post
present. Miss Rose Dohm contributed a
piano solo and was obliged to respond to
an encore.
E. B. DOran, in paper entitled COB
jects and Usefulness Of the G. A. r."
reviewed briefly the association from its
organization at Decatur, ILL.,, in 1885, to
the present time and pointed out that it's
purpose was to cherish comradeship, COM
fort, and aid the widows and orphans
and tnculcate the spirit Of patriotism and
love for the flag among the rising genera
ton. The membership was confined to
soldiers and sailors who fought in the
Civil war, and the organization would
soon be but memory.
The Ryder Mandolin orchestra played
two selections, and Commander Henry
read a lengthy paper on the subject, obs
tinguished Americans of Fifty Years
Ago" This was the first of series Of
papers to be presented at the campf1res
Of the post during the winter by Com
mander Henry.
Department Adjutant General B. NJ
Hicks gave brief account of the recent

manner in which 1t was handled by the
committee and the encampment was for
the best interests of the organization
There had been no personal comment and
only the mistakes made in the rulings of
the pension commissioner were pointed
out and call made for corrections
Charles A. Hagen rendered vocal solos,
Al Flournoy entertained with humorous
stories and William Seeger read Ger
man dialect poem. At the conclusion of
the programme bareback, beans and cof-

RAILS SPREAD.
Probably Fatal Accident ON the Chi
cagO &, Alton.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-The Chi
cago & Alton south-bound limited express
was wrecked this evening at Elkhart,
station eighteen miles north of this city,
by the rails spreading, and two passen-
gers were injured, one of whom will prob
ably die. The injured are: w. E. Lang,
real estate dealer, of Kansas City, prob
ably fatal; A. c. King, of Leroy, ILL.,,
knee twisted.
The slow speed of the train was all that
prevented a horrible catastrophe. The
train was due at Elkfart at 1886 o'clock,
but did not arrive until OILS o'clock
There is a switch north of the station
where the rails spread and the train was
ditched. The locomotive and cars plowed
up the ground terribly, and the locomo-
tives went plunglng along over the ties
until 1t had left the station 100 feet be-
hind None of the cars were overturned.
The, wreck was caused by q defective
frog. Nine thirty-foot rails, which held
together ran through the floor Of the car,
and passed through the roof Mr.. Long
was injured by rising from his seat at
the time the rails passed through the
car. Several passengers who were en-
the train declare the ties were rotten.
Mr.. Long died Of his injuries tonight,
at the Springfield city hospital.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The state
department has not been in communica-
ton with United States Consul Macrum.
at Pretoria, or, in fact, with any of it's
its consular representatives in South
Africa recently, so that officially it knows
nothing of late developments in that Sec
ton. Some weeks ago Secretary Hay
gave instructions to the consular officers
of the United States in South Africa to
protect all American interests in their
respective localities, and to protest
against any infringement upon the per-
sonal liberties Of Americans, which would
cover attempts to impress them into the
military service Of the South African re-
public. AS nothing has been heard from
them on the subject it is assumed that
no case has arisen TO warrant a report.

The antitrust law passed at the last

first time the case In point being that
of Conrad J. Ertz against the Minneapolis
Produce Exchange. Suit for damages
was brought by Ertz some time ago, on
the ground that the exchange had boy
cotted him by refusing to sell him goods
or to buy from him, all of which, he
claims, was a conspiracy to injure his
business. The case came before Judge
Simpson yesterday on a demurrer to the
complaint, asking that the cause be dis
missed on the ground that the complaint
did not set forth sufficient grounds for
action. The motion was denied, and the
case will now go to the supreme court. 1t
was urged by the defendants that the ex
change Is lawful organization and that
1t has the right to accept or exclude bus
mess as may be deemed proper.
