Aguinaldo's surrender.

The latest news from Manila estah-
fishes very conclusively that the ad-
ministration has known it's business.
In less than three months the insur-
rection of Aguinaldu has been fought
to a standstill and irresistible Ameri-
can valOr has added another great
triumph To its record. From a dis
tance it is impossible to estimate the
hardships our soldiers have undergone,
but enough is known to indicate that
they must have been terrific. When
experienced men like British army and
navy officials who have been engaged
in this kind of jungle lighting all their
lives become enthusiastic in their
praises of the American campaign and
pronounce It equal TO anything Eng
land ever did, we may safely accept
the verdict and give credit accordingly,
Nor have the insurgents been mean
foes. They compare very fayOrab!y
in point OF lighting ability with the
soldiery of Spain, They have shown
personal courage bordering closely on
fanaticism and, in the later stages of
the insuTrection, gcneralship Of a re-
spectacle order. They We're laborinG
under a delusion which it viii take
years TO correct: they utterly mlsun-
derstood and misconceived the purpose
and import Of the American occupation
But from this time forward they will
discard the hallucnatioh that Ameri,
cans are towards or quitters and they
will adapt themselves TO our terms OF
surrender with the knowledge that
there is absolutely no alternative.

BOWLING.

The All Wheeling ,bowlers have been
anxious to arrange match with To-
ledo's crack team, but the letter re-
ceived by w. Fette yesterday would

from Manager Mccormick, of the To-
ledo team, and is as follows:
Toledo, Ohio, January 81, 1899.
w. Fette, Esq:
Dear Sir:-You will please pardon

SHARKEY AND JEFFRIES.

New York, February Tom
Sharkey, before leaving for Phil
adelphia yesterday, said that if
Jeries's hackers would wager $4,000
on the side he would agree to meet the
Californian in eight weeks. What
ever Sharkey says in regard to match
making must first receive the sanction
of his manager, Tom O'Rourke, and
as the latter has not many such offers
it is not known whether a match will
be made or not. Brady, manager of
Jeffries, when he heard what Sharkey
said, Immediately authorized the state
ment that he would wager $4,000 or
any amount that Jeffries can beat the
Sailor. AS a fixed side wager is not
permitted by law, that would seem to
be a personal matter between Brady
and O'Rourke. AS Fitz persists in
holding off from the acceptance of any
sort OF match to be clinched by the
Lenox Club, sporting men believe that
the next big battle to be decided here
will be between Sharkey and Jeffries
In fact several authorities volunteer
ed the information that there is an I'M
derstanding of some sort between
Brady and O'Rourke.

rhc Only Remedy in the World. Except
surgical Operation, That win Ger
tainly Cure Any Form of Piles.
The study of physicians. the ex-
periments Of chemists, the loudly
advertised pretensions of quacks,
have been for years expended in
one direction; to find pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number
of harmless, and in most cases use
less ointments, suppositories and
even internal remedies, which the
public have weighed in the balance
of experience and found wanting;
nearly all of them give some relief,
but nothing approaching Tldical
cure resulted from these prepare
tons.
The remedy required is one that
Immediately stops the pain so Sc
we're in most cases CT piles, and
then by contracting the small blood
vessels (capillaries) to their nor
NAL size, produces a radical cure by
reducing and finally absorbing the
tumors and healing the inflamed,
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 rap
idly become famous throughout
the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name of the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t is now the brst known, because
is merit and safety have adver-
tised it wherever used. 1t has
been advertised by word Of mouth,
from one sufferer to another; peo-
pie who had tried everything else,
even submitting to painful and
dangerous surgical operations 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 so cents
and s1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all
pain and at the same time contains
no cocaine, morphine or narcotics;
The acids and healing properties
contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful, natural
contraction and absorption Of
tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fistula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from
neglecting proper and timely treat
ment for piles.
AS above stated, can furnish
you with the Pyramid Pile Cure at
so cents for ordinary size or $1.00
for large package.

he will not engage in any more battles
