POINTS OF INTEREST.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
Besides the official receptions and the
reunions of various commands during
the reunion, there will be much TO en-
terrain the visitors. Charleston affords
great interest from historical view,
the surrounding country and the bay
with its forts and batteries being rich
in memorable scenes. A committee has
been charged with marking the battle
fields around the city, and these points
will be visited by many who bore an
active part upon them in the defense Of
Charleston under Beauregard, Lee and
Ripley.
Fort Sumter will be open to visitors
a special order from the Secretary Of
War having been secured whereby the
usual military rule barring visitors
from forts is suspended 1t is expected
that one or more warships will be in
the bay during the reunion, the Secre'
tary Of War having promised to detail
any available vessel for the purpose.
Special effort will be made to secure
the Raleigh. which has Just returned
al one of the ships. The Raleigh will
have particular interest as being one of
the vessels engaged in the fight at Ma
Mia under Dewey. There will be many
private entertainments during the
week. Many visitors are expected to
take in the seaside resorts, and some
special entertainments are being ar
ranged at the Isle of Palms, the beauti.
full ocean suburb OF Charleston. There
will be a great pyrotechnic picture Of
the battle of Manassas, and there will
also be representation Of some naval
| battle. whether Of the civil or the
Spanish war has not been determined.
BATTLE OF FLOWERS.
Probably one of the most attractive
features of the week will be the battle

equipages will pass in procession around
the battery, and after being reviewed,
the occupants will engage in battle OF
flowers and compete with each other
and with maskers on foot. Handsome
prizes will be given for the best costume
and the most beautifully decorated We

The whole city will be illuminated
and in festal garb, business generally
will be suspended during the week. and
Charleston will be stirred up as she has
not been for thirty live years.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe'S Ocean Traffic Will
Prove Profitable.
165 Cars Of Freight Awaiting
the Belgian King.
SEMI-MONTHLY TRIPS
Will Be Made When the New
Steamers Are Ready.
These Ships Will Carry Pas
sengers For Manila.

The arrival and departure of the Bel
gian King, the first of the Santa Fe's
Oriental line steamers, at San Diego
last week, marks the beginning Of an
ocean commerce which will eventually
become of great importance. Until the
large freight and passenger steamers
now being remodeled for the line are
ready for service, the smaller boats will
ply between San Diego and Oriental
ports but once a month. With the new
steamers semi-monthly trips Will be
made.
When the Belgian King arrived at
San Diego about ten days ago 165 cars
of freight were waiting to be loaded at
San Diego. The entire capacity OF the
next boat from San Diego is already
taken
Under the present arrangement the
steamers stop at Honolulu, Hong Kong
and Yokohama AS soon as the new
steamers are available Manila will also
be touched.
At present only second class passen-
gers can be handled on the steamers.
as there are no accommodations for
cabin passengers. The new boats will
have ample cabin accommodations, and
the Santa Fe management will then
turn it's attention to passengers as well
as freight traffic across the Pacific
ocean. The line from San Diego to
Honolulu and Asiatic ports will be the
shortest of the Pacific ocean routes,
and there is every promise that the new
line will secure the bulk of the business.
1t will prove extremely profitable to
the Santa Fe management, as the long
haul from San Diego to Chicago will be
made on the majority of both the ex-
port and import freight.

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Elk.
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any Form

The study of physicians. the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly advertised
pretensions of Quacks, have been for
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 usless ONT
ments, suppositories and even internal
remedies, which the public have weigh
ed in the balance of experience and
found wanting; nearly all of them gave
some relief, but nothing approaching a
radical cure resulted from these pre-
parations.
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
irfiamed, raw mucous surfaces
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket 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 I'M
der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure
1t is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. It 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 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 81 90 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contains no CO.
caine morphine or narcotics; the acids
and healing properties contained in the
remedy speedily remove, cause health
full, natural contraction and absorption
of tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and adj
vanced fistula, which by the way, near
Iy always results from neglecting prop
er and timely treatment for piles

MAKES S45O,OOO PROFIT.
Land Paid 100000 For Sold tc
Whitney Annex For $75O,OOO.

New York, Jan. 31.-John D. Grim
minis has sold to the Astoria Light, Heat
and Power company about 300 acres of
land purchased by him some time ago.
The land sold includes Gate Point, Will
loughby'S Point and Berrian's Island
which latter lies just above He'll Gate
and near the Astoria. shore. as well as
the adjoining land on the Long Island
shore. It includes about three miles of
water front.
This is the land on which it is said
that the great electric syndicate will
erect the plant from which it expects to
furnish all the electric light, heat and
power for all the boroughs of the great
city of New York.
Crimmins is said to have paid about
$500, 900 for the land. The deed, which
was filed in the Queens county clerks
office in Jamaica yesterday, shows that
he sold 1T to the company for $3.50. 00O
which looks like a good profit for Grim
minis.
The Astoria Light. Heat and Power
company is authorized under its char
ter to supply light, heat and power in
all the boroughs, and this broad char
ter and the purchase of this property
by the company would seem to indicate
that the Whitney syndicate intends to
operate it's big plant under the name OF
that company.

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not question
of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are AL
READY in your blood. causing your
present sickness, IT LEAVES THERE.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neyS.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they forget the kidneys
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp Root
is the most perfect healer and gentle
aid to the kidneys that is known to
medical science

Gently been stationed as one Of the

tailed account of the recent clashes in
that city between the Spanish soldiers
and the CubanS. He expressed the opin-
ion that Gen. BroOke's order forbidding
participation in the evacuation cere-
monies by the Cubans was a necessary
precaution and that if it had not been
issued there would have been trouble
The Spanish residents were exceedingly
nervous. At the same time he thought
the CubanS should be treated literally
and allowed to participate to a consid-
cradle extent in the conduct of public
affairs. He believed that the Cuban
soldiers could be utilized and that if
there were an organized force of such
soldiers under American command they
could be utilized in maintaining order
even among the Cubans. He dwelt at
some length upon the excessive taxes
imposed under the old system. AS an
illustration he mentioned that an inn
porter of 100 head of cattle from Mexico
had had to pay an average of $27 per
head on them in the way of taxes and
duties.
