tached from the ceiling TO which it was
fastened, and fell to the floor spilling

a blaze for a few moments. Horace

DISCUSSION WAS HOT.
Leicester Selectmen and
Constables Argue
Raid Prices.

Leicester, May 20.-The board of Sc
lectmen held a special meeting this af-
ternoon, to determine what the town
should pay the four constables who
made the raids on Mrs. Mary Gale and
Emile Jean sometime ago, and hot
discussion took place.
Constables James A. Quinn, Hugh j.
Rice, Owen Callahan and John F. Ga
gen did the job, and each put in a bill
for $50 apiece for the three raids, or
$120 for the total.
At the last meeting the matter was
laid over so that the constables could
be seen and the subject talked over
Constable James A. Quinn was present
this afternoon, and for an hour ana
twenty minutes the talk waxed elo-
quent, according to reports. The Sc
lectmen believed the price asked was
exorbitant, and at first told Quinn he
could have 81 and So apiece for his COM
panions
The matter was finally adjusted by
allowing Quinn $40, and $40 each to the
other three, or $50, a difference of S1O
less than the amount first asked. Chair
man Edward ]. McDermott told spy
reporter tonight that he thought the
men received all they were entitled to,
and that next time compensation would
be fixed before raid was made. Quinn
told a Spy reporter that $40 for each
warrant was a fair compensation, and
what he had usually received.
Miss Elsie NJ. Robinson celebrates the
anniversary of her birth, on Sunday,

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight mois-
ture and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
gives temporary relief, but nothing like
a permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
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 dis
comfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup,
posed that the remarkable relief AFFORDED
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because II
was supposed to contain cocaine, OPIUM
or similar drugs, but such is not me
case. A recent careful analysis or the
remedy showed it to be absolutely, Tree

poisonous, injurious drugs whatever SOFA

he had done all possible for the sake Of

the thread of negotiations. troops were
massed on all sides and war was forced
upon him. 1t was impossible to accede
to the dispatch of the 12th.
Such a course would have given the
