WICKED-LOOKING WEAPON.
of the Mauser Pistol
That Is to lie Used by United
states CavaIrymen.

"The new Mauser pistol, with which
our cavalry is about 10 be armed, is
horrible looking piece of machinery"
said an esthetic sportsman the other day.
1T doesn't resemble a tirearm at all,
but looks like some strange scientific
instrument. such as one might see in
laboratory. Imagine a cigar box,
japanned black. with "A handle at one
end and a short tube at the other, and
there YOU have it. The box contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman of the past
was a dashing figure. He wore a steel
cuirass and a helmet with nodding
plumes, and while he carried a brace OF
pistols in his holsters, his real weapon
was his trusty saber. Do you remem-
Der the splendid fellows who are galIop-
ing past Napoleon in Meissonier's 1922
Since then science has gradually sucked
all the poetry out of war and the Mauser
pistol is the last work Of brutal utili-
tarianism. The cavalryman Of the
future will carry nothing but a small
black walnut box. and will closely re-
semble surgeon going out TO operate
for appendicitis. When he gets TO the
right spot, designated by the engineer
corps, he will dismount open the box,
take out his hideous Mauser machine,
hook the case to one end, so as TO form
a shoulder rest. spray a few quarts of
projectiles in a given direction and go
home again TO rest after the fatigue of
the fray. If the calculations of the
range finder are all right his bullets per-
forate somebody a mile away. That
will be war a la mode. In some respects
it is a great improvement on the old
style, but it will inspire no poets. I'M

Can You be Convinced
That DIR. ChaSe's Ointment is an
Absolute Cure for
ITCHING PILES?
Scores and Thousands Have Been
Convinced by being Cured-A
Baptist Mini lter Tells How
lie Was Cured by
DIR. CHASE'S OINTMENT

There are so many preparations recon-
mended TO cure piles, and so many that
utterly fail that most people who suffer
the tortures of this loatksome disease
become discouraged and despair of ever
being cured.
1t is just such people who, when once
cured, most strongly recommend DIR.
Chase's Ointment, because they recog-
nize in it the one absolute cure for itch
ing piles.
The evidence published here is con-
vincing the only better proof is trial.
The first application of DR.. Chase s
Ointment will convince the most skep-
tical by stopping the terrible itching and
burning. 1t is very seldom that more
than one box is required to absolutely
cure any case of blind, itching. bleeding
or protruding piles.
Rev. w. N. Edwards, Baptist minister,
100 Trinity Place, Buffalo, n. Y, writes ::
81 can most heartily recommend DR.. A.
w. Chase's Ointment as a positive cure
for itching piles. For over IS years
the piles have been a source OF constant
annoyance TO me, and frequently the
suffering has been most intense. The
benefits derived from the use of DR.. A.
W. Chase's Ointment have been magical
and lasting, and feel il duty To my
fellow beings 10 recommend it and use
my influence TO make its wonderful
merits known.

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 30.-The
American Manufacturer and Iron World
tomorrow will say:
A continuance of the extraordinary
demand for every variety of material
in every stage of production, with the
maintenance of the upward movement
in prices are the features of the weeks
transactions in the metal markets. The
demand is so widespread that no at
tempt is made to locate or individual
ize it and each day has some additions
to the total. There is no prospect that
the highest limit OF production will
overtake the business that may be
classed as immediate, not in the sense
of time, but as measuring necessities.
Business in some lines almost a year
hence is now considered immediate
because those WHO failed to measure
the size of the revival early and delay.
ed find themselves compelled to wait.
Furnace men have their product sold
through the first six months of 1900
and at an advance that, is materially
higher than what was regarded as good
prices for 1899. che rate at Pittsburg
for Bessemer is s23.OO@23.25, a slight
advance over last week, and with the
rise comes the announcement that this
price is ON the sales up to July, 1900
