A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BYA
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncon-
trollable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some.
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid
Pile Cure, not only for itching piles,
but for every other form of piles,
blind, bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives instant relief
and the continued use for a short time
causes a permanent removal of the
tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discom-
fort Of itching piles.
Many physicians for u long time
supposed that the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain
cocaine. opium or similar drugs, but
such is not the case A recent careful
analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium. or in fact any poisonous. in
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by physc-
ians. because It is so safe, so prompt
in the relief afforded and 80 far as
known the only positive cure for piles
except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell II at
30 cts. and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for book on cause ana cure OF
piles and also hundreds Of testimon-
ials from all parts of the United States.

England and Scotland have both
fought for the America cup, but Ireland
never" said Sir Thomas, when, after
due persuasion, he was prevailed upon
to talk for publication on his Shamrock
hopes Il have been a member of the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club for some
years, and as one whose parents belong
to the north of Ireland, though l was
born in GLASGOW, 1 have long had a
notion of sending an Irish challenge for
the cup, but one thing or another IN
the past has prevented me putting 1t
into execution. Over ten years ago /
went so far as to make an offer through
Hon. w. j. Lane of the New York Life
Company, then member of Parlia-
ment for Cork, to race for the America
cup, providing 1 could get yacht de-
signed, built and manned by Irishmen,
but the matter fell through.
what I have always aimed at has
been a challenge from an Irish yacht
club, by an Irish built boat, by an Irish
designer, sailed by an Irish skipper and
crew and bearing. [ need hardly say,
an Irish name. All these essentials,
with the exception of the designer, will
be fulfilled when the new Shamrock
meets her American rival.
Will Spend Fortune.
At do not wish to speak boastfully,
but I am prepared to spend $4,000 to
e60 900 to lift that cup. But money is
not the only consideration, as brains
are needed.
1T was only after careful considera-
ton that we decided to give the dsign-
ing order to Mr.. Fife, whom we have
every confidence in. and he thinks he
can justify it, Fife believes that hith-
erto. the best boat has won in the cup
contests, said Mr.. Upton.
An Irishman for Captain.
Captain William O'Neill will skip
per the new boat He comes of a
seafaring family and is counted the
smartest sailing master along the Irish
coasts, although his initial races on the
Thames in 1874 went against him, and
he wanted to leave his command after
the first defeat. Then his luck changed,
and for a half dozen years he kept his
boat, the Myosotis. at the head of the
winning list Since then he has al
most steadily kept first place with what
ever boat he has been engaged to cap
tain, winning thirty prizes In single
season with the Annasona, a Fife cut
ter.
II have laid down no new conditions
as to the race, but viii leave all ar
rangements to the holders of the cup, F"

can be bought, the diner having be-
yond this a considerable range in prizes
and selection. This is the object of the
Alexandra trust.
So soon as the necessary charter is
secured a large dining establishment
will be opened in the poorest quarter of
the city, and other places of the kind
will follow so soon as it is shown that
the plan is a success. Sir Thomas de-
signs to make the institution eventu-
ally self-supporting by the purchase OF
property in several places about town.
And he is quite business man enough
to do it.
Small Fish Dealers
Opposition to the Alexandra trust has
developed from the keepers of small
fish shops and coffee houses, who say
they will be driven out of business if
Upton enters the field. They have been
memorializing the committee on
charters asking that a permit be not
granted. and their union is making
ready to present their side of the
matter before Parliament when it
meets in February. These small vic
tualers claim that food in London is
cheap enough for anybody already, and
that lowering the price of living will
simply mean that the present number
of loafers about the public houses will
be immensely multiplied.

position aroused, and says that the
plan will prove a public blessing if
once tried. and this view is shared by
the Princess of Wales, the Duke of
Norfolk and Sir Francis Jeune, who
are associated with the promoter of the
enterprise. There is little doubt that
the royal charter will be granted, and
that the interesting experiment will be
inaugurated next year.
Plan to Beat the Yankees.
BY little dinner party held in the
Savoy Hotel a few nights ago, the
building plans for the Irish yacht,
Shamrock, were finally discussed and
agreed upon, and the keel of the trim
racer will now shortly be laid in the
Harland 81 Wolff yards at Belfast Her
plans have been approved, but just
what those plans call for is known only
by select coterie, who after dinner at
the Savoy turned all of the walters out
of the room, locked the doors and held
a star chamber session to go over the
plans again and give the final building
orders Those present were Sir Thomas
Upton, owner of the Shamrock that is
to be- William Fife Jr., the designer;
w. ]. Pirrie, director of the Harland &,
Wolff shipyard; Hugh McGildowney,
the Belfast yachtsman; Baron Russell,
Lord Chief Justice of England, and his

as late as August This fish sometimes
reaches rs pounds in weight. 1t does
not take bait.
The sockeye salmon will come in July
and run in countless schools. 1t will
weigh six or seven pounds. Neither
does it take bait and in fact few men
can tell what it lives on, for nothing
is found in it's stomach when caught.
In September and October the silver
salmon come, and every second year
the humpbacks come with them or
shortly after, and then follow the
qualah or dog" salmon.
But the silver salmon is the sports
mems delight. He will weigh from ten
to fifteen pounds and is generally
caught with trolling spoon; some
times on a light rod. He who gets a
silver on a seven-ounce rod has more
business to the square inch on hand
than he often finds. This fall out of
school of silver salmon within a few
miles of this city 10000 fish were taken
in nets. The sportsman who trolled
among that same school rockwell, "a
whole boatload, for they didn't count
them.
1t has been stated that less than 2
per cent of the eggs of female salmon
develop and mature as salmon BY
artificial propagation over SO per cent
of the eggs reach the stage of young
salmon. 1t is therefore to the present
hatcheries and to the proposed large
increase in the number of hatcheries,
that the State of Washington looks for
the perpetuation of her important sal
mon industry. J. M. BELL.

Z ONDON, Jan 2.-Sir Thomas
Upton, the most astonishing
citizen of London" has planned
to do three astonishing things
during the year 1899.
First-To found the Alexandra
trust; cost, $1,000,000.
Second-To win the America cup;
cost $500, 900.
Third-To gain a British peerage.
The first is a plan Of practical phil
anthropy, the second is in the spirit of
good natured international rivalry for
yacht sailing championship, and the
elevation to the British peerage is an
honor which probably awaits Sir
Thomas as a reward at the hand of
Queen Victoria If his boat shows her
heels to the American sailors, and Brit
ish supremacy is thus again estab-
lished.
Sir Thomas motto is, The Upton
flag never has been hoisted in vain"
and he firmly expects to carry out his
three plans.
Reward of Charity.
When the Queens jubilee dinner for
the London poor was in danger of fall
Ing through ny tie pSl1ul lOuollCoo VI Liz
English public, Thomas Upton came
forward and gave e25,000 and thus
made it possible for the committee to
feed 10000 of the poor of London. For
that and other charities he was knight
ed. and then last summer he announced
that he was ready to give half a mill
lion of dollars in the starting of the
Alexandra trust for furnishing cheap
and good meals to the poor, and had
another 100000 to add to the fund if
the system proves a success. Its pa
tronesses is the Princess of Wales, a
good person to know when one wishes
to be a peer-and the trust was named
in her honor The Alexandra scheme
is much along the line of the soup
kitchens which have proved such a sue
cess in Vienna, but Mr.. Lipton's wide
business experience has suggested a
great many details which will be new
in such movements. He has given
much sympathetic attention in the past
to the fare of the lower classes, and
says it is not only of poor quality, bad
ly cooked and untidily served, but costs
too much to those who can Ill afford it,
All of these faults he plans to remedy
by a good bowl of soup, or bread or
meat, well cooked and served for
halfpenny. For twopence fair meal

know of no place where a Britisher can
go where he will receive more true
kindness or be better treated than at

Worth $50, 900. 600
Twenty millions of dollars is what the
Upton fortune is accounted at present,
and this is being added to rapidly by
the receipts which daily roll into the
counting house in City Road from the
immense provision business of the COM
pany around the world. AS one looks
over the large and beautiful room
where scores of clerks and typewriters
are at work on the corporations ac-
counts he sees a little of the perfection
in the immense system which makes
to-day'S quotation of the Upton, Lin
ited," stock on the exchange sell at
nearly two and >one-half times above
par. Sir Thomas insists that in every
department of his mighty business an
tiquated English methods be cast aside
and doWn-tO date American ways of
doing business alone be employed,
which accounts in large part for his
being able to spend million or two
offhand, as he is doing in his yacht and
Alexandra enterprises.
Mr.. Upton takes a few hundred of his
employees now and again out to Osidge,
his beautiful country residence at Old
Southgate, where he invites them to
take full possession of the place in the
holiday he gives them. The American
and British flags in the decorations al
ways tell that the host is an Anglo
American. He likes fast horses as well
as a swift business and daily drives a
speedy span imported from Kentucky
over the ten miles between his country
home and city offices.
And all this charity this touching the
pride Of the Britisher in championing
British seamanship this tremendous
activity in making friends with royalty,
this genius for money getting, is lead
ing straight toward the greatest of all
of Liptons plans-the elevation to the
peerag e. suggested the rumors about
his possible elevation to him the other
day, but, of course, he wisely processes
never to have dreamed Of such a thing.
