LAST OF THE BARoNs.
Peculiarities of Sir Henry Hawkins,
Just Retired from Bench.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Sir Henry Hawkins. the English
Judge who has just resigned at the
age Of 81, was the last of the barons
although ne only held the title for one
day. In 1876 Mr.. Hawkins was APP
pointed by the Crown as successor to
Baron Blackburn, and the Court Cir
cular named him Baron" Hawkins,
but the next day this was corrected on
the ground that the law barOns had
been eXtinguishcd by the Judicaturc
act. Accordingly Justice Hawkins be-
came, by the usual ceremony of
knighthood. Sir Henry Hawkins.
The former Judge had no sympathy
with offenders, and if ever he allowed
mitigating circumstances to influence
him he invariably apologized for his
lenity. In the great Tichborne trial he
was retained Dor the prosecution, and
it has been said that he was rewarded
for his conduct Of that case, and that
he would never have been a Judge had
it not been for the strange influence
the opponents of the claimant pos
Sessed over the government. Sir Henry'S
tastes were plcbcan his companions
men who frequcnted the lowest kind
Of sport, and his most faithful friend
a savage dog. which accompanied him
everywhere, much to the annoyance of
High Sherins and brother Judges.
Returning from an EPSON meeting,
Sir Henry, close-cropped and hashily
dressed, was once surrounded at a rail-
way station by a gang Of roughs, who
had designs on his watch and pocket
book Sir Henry. thinking that he might
be recognized by some of them, one
Of whom he especially remembered
having sentenced some time previously,
raised his hat and said: you don't
seem to recognize who ! am The
Judge smiled as he awaited the reply,
expecting to hear the disgusted ejaC-
ulation "Awkins," But he was disap-
pointed, for the rufian, in tones of dis
gust murmured, "Oh, Lor', a bloomin
przefighter," and left his lordship free
from further molestation.
\ prisoner, who had just been SEN
tenCer to seven years penal servitudC
exclaimed: "Oh, my Lord, I'll never live
half the time" Hawkins took another
look at him and answered: ~ don't
think it is at all advisable. or desir-
able. that YOU should"
On another occasion the usual for
mality was gone through of asking
prisoner who had been found guilty
if he had anything To say. The man
striking a theatrical posture, and with
his right hand in the air, exclaimed;
May the Almighty strike me dead if
don't speak the truth. ! am innocent
of this crime" Justice Hawkins SAID
nothing for a minute, but stood glanC-
ing at the clock, and then i'm his most
impressive manner said: "Sincc the
Almighty has not thought well to in,

MERIT MAKESIT FAMOUS,
The Only Remedy in the World, Elk.
cept Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles,

The study Of physicians, the experi-
ments Of chemists, the loudly adyer-
tised pretensions OF quacks, have been
Tor years expended in one direction;
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless. and in most cases useless
olntments, supposltories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one that i'm
mediately stops the pain so severe in
most cases of piles, and then by con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capil-
laries) to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
infamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository was placed upon the
market, which has since proven itself
to be the long sought permanent cure
FOR this common and distressing trouble
IT has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
Is now sold by nearly all druggists un-
der the name OF the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because it's
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer to
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operation with
out avail finally have found that piles
may be cured without pain and without
expense, practically, as the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold for the nominal price
OF 80 cents and $1,0O per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no cocaine
morphine or narcotics: the acids and
healing properties contained in the re-
medy speedily remove, cause a health
ful' natural contraction and absorption
OF tumors; il will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and ad-
Vanced hstula, which by the way,
nearly always result from neglecting
proper and timely treatment for piles.
AS above st9ted, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at so cents for
ordinary size or S1,0O for large package.

An Unusual Occurrence.

Wednesday evening at the st.
James Hotel there were veterans of
three wars present. Mr.. Charles p.
Epler, of Gasville, o., who served with
the Second Pennsylvania Infantry and
marched with General Scott through
the Mexican war; Captain Lewis j.
Cutter, proprietor of the hostelry, who
was with Co. b 77th o. V. /. during the
war of the Rebellion, and NJ. II. Ma
loney, the night clerk of the hotel, who
was a member of Troop F, Second U.
S. Cavalry in the Spanish-American
war, and who was in all the fighting in
Cuba. These three gentlemen had
many interesting experiences to relate.
Mr. Epler, who is nearly 72 years of
age, is one of only two Mexican war
veterans living in Washington county.
The other is Captain Harry Thomas,
living in this city, Mr.. Epler is well
preserved man for his age, and he says
he was just 21 years old the day he
passed this city on his way to Pitts
burg to be mustered out of the service
on July Is, 1S48, on board the steamer
Monroe, which is remembered by many
of our citizens.
1t is not often the case that veterans
of three wars of one country meet,

The City's Garhaoe.

A portion Of the Board of Health and
the Garbage committee of the Council
met last night at the Mayors office.
There was not a quorum present, but
the matter of disposal of the cltys gar
bage was freely discussed.
The probability is that the Board of
Health vii formulate a plan for the
garbage disposal, and will at an early
date adver,.se for bids for collecting
and disposlng of the garbage-probab-
ly putting it in covered pit about 60
feet square and seven feet deep, a plan
which is successfully worked at War
