Pyramid pile Cure Cures Piles
Quickly, Painlessiy, Without
Dagger.

People go along for years suffering with
piles. Then try this and that and the other
thing from carrying buckeye to getting
treatment from a physician. They obtain
temporary relief maybe. but they are never
quite cured. A little strain in lifting, ex-
eessive fatigue, little constipation or a lit
tie diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much, but
they Danish sleep and appetite. No position
IS comfortable. There is intense local pain
and that dreadful feeling of weight in the
perineum.
Maybe In the early stages some Of the
many salves on sale will afford temporary
relief. If the case is of long standing there
IS only one speedy and sure remedy. 1t IS

TO CONQUER CONSUMPTION.
Efforts Begun to Check the scourge
in Great Britain.
london Mail.

In no direction has medical science made
greater progress within the present century
than in that of the prevention of disease.
Much has been achieved in the face of popu-
lar opposition, which now, as in the mid
die ages, regards medical science and its re-
suits with some unfavorable prejudice; but
yet more remains to do. The meeting at
Marlborough House yesterday, over which
the Prince of Wales presided, was assembled
to take steps to prevent the ravages of con-
the most terrible and deadly of diseases.
Each year consumption claims as its vic
Tins no less than 20 600 souls. Between one
seventh and one-eighth of the total death
rate in the British isles is due to this cause
or, put IT in other words, 200 people every
day die of this disease. If those 10000 vic
tins could be saved. how immense a boon
would be conferred upon humanity
Some years ago the famous German bac-
teriologist, DR.. Koch, was too hastily re-
ported to have discovered a specific remedy
for consumption. The news caused a pa
thetic rush for his serum. which. unfortu-
nately, proved upon trial inefficacious Both
sexes, all classes. and all ages had seen in
the premature announcement the promise of
health and life. The disappointment was all
the more cruel inasmuch as upon first trial
the remedy gave promising results.
The crusade which the Prince of Wales is
tnaugurating will make use of no specific
drug or serum. 1t will proceed, in the first
place, by educating the public as to the
means to be taken to prevent and combat
the disease. In the second place, it will
adopt measures to exterminate the most pro-
life cause of Observation-Disclosures in cows
consumption IS spread py injected mix ana
infected meat. If a rigid inspection of dairy
cattle is carried out IN England, as in Can
ada, by competent veterinaries the diseased
animals can be detected and slaughtered
Though Lord Salisbury deprecated further
legislation on this subject, il is possible that
experience may show 1t to be required. We
are slaughtered In the interests of public
health viii have to be compensated for their
losses out of the public purse.
Lastly, sanatoria are TO be established for
the open-air treatment Of consumption
which has been found most officacious in the
past. The Frst Of these sanitoria viii be
erected IN London, and the sum required has
been generously contributed by two of our
African millionaires, Messrs. Wernher and
Belt At a later period IL Is hoped that hos
pitfalls will he provided by private nunifi-
cence in the provincial centers Of Dopula-
ton Thus. at last. real and adequate meas
ures are being taken to come to the help OF
the sufferer from consumption. 1t need
scarcely be said that the Daily Mail wishes
the scheme all possible success.

posted chiefly in the rooms inside the bank
One of them, however, PAGES up and down
one of the courts where 1t is reported that
the bank notes withdrawn from circulation
are burned. A third man is in a circular hall
called the ''rotunda."
These sentries are increased in the middle
of the night, and remain at the bank till the
departure of the picket in winter and till
daylight arrives in summer. The officer goes
his rounds" at II o'clock when he visits
each sentry and having heard every man
cry out, "All's WELL" he retires to his
rooms, and probably to bed. He is seen no
more till the picket parades to "dismount'
in the morning.
The hour of departure is o'clock in sum
mer and Z, or a little later, in winter. At
the latter hour an official arrives to take over
the blankets great coats, and library; and
the senior sergeant completes his report by
inserting a clause therein affirming that
these articles are present and in good
order"
This done, he hands the report to the
drummer boy to leave at the Horse Guards
as the soldiers pass through Whitehall on
their homeward march.
Besides the soldiers, there are numerous
officials on duty in the bank by night
Capacious chairs are provided for their USE
The picket is not entirely alone therefore.
And even if there was no human being near
at hand, there are always the black beetles
for company--creatures of extraordinary
size, if rumor goes for anything.

In 1866 the real estate on which the build

1t passed into the hands Of T. 3. Martindale,

consideration of $4,000 over the estimated

II passed from his hands TO Hamilton, New
d Co, who took IL from Mr.. Mdrtindale
when he acquired the Denison Hotel from
them, subject TO a mortgage of 800, co.,
Shortly afterward they sold it to Allen NJ
Fletcher for $4,000. Mr.. Fletcher at that
time purchased fourteen feet Of ground
10 the south, which, with street i'm
proVements and repairs made in the build
ing, cost about $1,000 more. He sold the
property to the University Club Of Indiana
Tor $5LvO0, just about what il cost him. The

Mr.. Martindale said last night he considers
the finest stable in Indianapolis, which the
club will probably utilize for a. bowling al
ley and possibly gymnasium.
The house committee has not made all it's
plans, but there is talk of establishing a
cafe for the use of the membership. 1t is
the purpose to make of the club something
more than a mere place for social gather
ings, and it is the desire to create an at
mosphere that will appeal to men of
studious and literary tastes, although the
social features of club life are not to be
ignored by any means.

WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY CLUB.
Annual Meeting of the Organization
Held neutrality-suspicious. Elected.

The annual meeting of the Woman's Uni
versity Club was held yesterday, and the
following officers were elected: President,
Miss Julia Harrison Moore; vice president,
Mrs. Frank Z. Gavin; recording secretary
Miss Julia Landers; corresponding secre-
tary, Miss Frances B. Coates; treasurer,
Miss Martha Doane; governing board, Mrs.
John B. ELAN, Mrs Charles B. Clarke, Mrs.
Dill and Mrs. j. d. Forrest. Mrs. Walling-
ford, Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Dill were elected
a programme committee for the next two
meetings. Rev. ]. Cumming Smith was in
troduced and gave an interesting talk on
THE Catholieity of Culture" He spoke
first in presence in meeting where he
could not vote and then extended his re-
marks to say that he did not see how a
State could help changing its constitution,
so that women could vote. After receiving
the marked appreciation of his audience for
this expression, he proceeded to speak of
the evolution OF the university idea. The
best expression of this idea, he thought,
was described in Macaulay'S Milton The
student of old did not want to be popular,
but the idea of to-day is to be close to the
common people. The danger to-day, he
considered, is the striving for dollars. In
this connection he mentioned the modern
magazine which has so many pages of adj
Verttsing as compared with the early pub
lications The manner of overpraising the
new work of young author he deplored,
as there is danger of lowering genius when
one rushes into print The magazine adj
vertising IS, however. the university ideas
for there is art and there are quotations
from noble writer's. Mr.. Smith himself Oft
en- reads the advertising pages as relaxa-
ton after steady brain work. All sciences
that cannot stand on their own merits and
are not based on truth, he would turn out
of the university. Science and theology
should go hand in hand and the scientist,
he holds, should be somewhat of a theolo-
gian to succeed in his science. The strug-
gle Of history has been to develop the high
est humanity. In eXpounding this idea Mr..
Smith gave much credit to the part woman
has to play in this development. woman

A SOLDIER TAKES MORPHINE.
Horace Kent, of First Artillery,
Thought 1t Was Quinine.

Horace L. Kent, of Kentland, Ind, a
member of Battery L, First Artillery, took
morphine last evening at the Stephenson
House, on Illinois street, just south Of the
Union Station. He told another man in the
house what he had done and DR.. Kennedy,
of the City Dispensary, was called. The
doctor soon had the poison out of Kents
stomach and then several men seized him
and dragged him up and down the hall to
keep him awake. He struggled to get free
and it looked like a riot of ten men. Kent
was not long until he could safely go to
bed. He is seventeen years old and it is said
his father is a wealthy man of Kentland.
He told men about the hotel that he had
taken the morphine by mistake. thinking it
was quinine. He has been home on fur
Tough and was returning to camp.

One Man Has Seen Them Jump Eight
cen Feet.
Forest and Stream.

A few years ago, in a fishermen's nook IN
London, we were discussing the height to
which a salmon could leap, and an English
man stated that he had known salmon 10
make clean leap Of twenty feet perpendic-
ularly This was questioned by a Scotchman
present, who said that ne had been on many
a salmon river. and had never yet seen the
salmon that could clear ten feet perpendic-
ularly. Several different views were ex-
pressed upon the subject, and since that
time l have taken occasion to measure fails
in several rivers where salmon were leap
ing, for the purpose of determining how
far a salmon can leap. The question allows
of some elaboration, and several important
factors must be taken into consideration.
First the character of the "take-off," or
in other words the water from which the
salmon starts below the falls If he can
start from a quiet deep pool or eoay Just
below the falls. he can make a much high
er leap than If he must start from broken
water or shallow water In some rivers
salmon are much longer and slenderer than
in others. and the slender salmon make
much higher leaps than the more robust
ones A fresh run salmon may be so fat
that he is clumsy, and not able TO do his
best at leaping but after three or four
weeks spent in the river he may perform
some remarkable acrobatic feats In the
WashecOOtal river | have seen salmon
thrown back time and again from leap
Of about six feet. and do not remember
ever having seen a salmon make more than
an eight-fOot leap in that river On the OlO-
mana river / have seen salmon thrown back
repeatedly from leap of ten feet. but hav-
ing been foiled several times in succession,
these fish Jumped approximately fourteen
feet on two occasions, and sixteen feet in
one instance. while was watching them
ON the Kegashka river I have seen salmon
leap about twelve feet, but in this river
the leaping place was not where I could
measure the height Of the chosen spot. On
seem to have difficulty IN clearing eight
feet OF fall and this Is due probably to
the character Of the rocks beneath the fall.
