Judge Garnett opened court at Saluda to-
day promptly at 10 o'clock. The cases that

DREYFUs DISTURBANCES.
Fighting i'm Paris-seyeraI Persons
Injured.

PARIS, April 26.-The advocates and OPP
ponents of Dreyfus revision held rival
meetings in Paris this evening, and fights
occurred afterward in the streets. Seye-
raj persons were injured.
The Figaro's publication Of the evil
dence Of Captain Cuignet before the
Court of Cessation has thrown the anti
revision party into CONSERVATION. The
Eclair and all the anti-Dreyfus papers
are boiling with indignation. Several Of
them suppress altogether the testimony
of this officer, whose principal statement
was that the guilt Of Dreyfus could be
only inferentially established from the Sc
cret "dossier"
The Gaulois falls foul OF the Figaro for
its Infamous publication" The Eclair de-
nounces Captain Cuignet in unmeasured
terms.
Captain Culgnets denunciation Of Colo
mel Du Patty de Clam is said TO be a COM
plete giving away of the case OF the gen.
eral staff. 1t is claimed that Cuignet, act
ing under orders, is making Du Patty de
Clam a scapegoat for the staff.
1t is rumored that daughter of one OF
the members of the Cabinet desiring 10
put an end 10 the scandal, gave TO the
Figaro, gratis. the reports Of the evil
dence before the Court Of Cessation.
The Figaro begins to-day the evidence
offered before the united chambers OF the
court.
NJ. Paleologue, one OF the permanent
officials Of the Foreign Office, in the
course of a long explanation regarding
the CIPHER kilograms, expressed the con-
viction that the document contained in
the secret "dossier." purporting 10 be
telegram from a foreign agent 10 his
government indicating the relations OF
Dreyfus with Germany, and which Cap
tain Cuignet had cited as proving guilt,
was a forgery.

FRYE on CURRENT TOPICS.
COghIan situa-
tjon-Quay Case.

(New York World)
Senator Frye was asked last night what
he thought would be the result of the
Coghlan incident. He said:
1T may result unpleasantly to Captain
Coghlan. but 1 have no idea that a war
with Germany Will be the outcome. There
Will be no war. If Germany should wage
war on the United States she would lose
her best customer. and would have a
revolution on her hands at home within
six months.
81 believe that Speaker Reed intends TO
resign. ] have been satisfied on that score
for some time.
"In my opinion. Mr. Reeds retirement
is actuatcd solely by a desire TO improve
his financial condition, and he thinks
there is better chance to do so in New
York than in Maine. Still. / won't say
that Mr. Reed has not also political
anchor 10 windward and realizes that
New York offers many opportunities for
political preferment
THE situation in the Philippines is not
nearly so good as / should like to see It,
When we were I'm Paris no one connected
with the commission believed that more
than 5000 soldiers would be needed there
at any time.
Il believe the Filipinos will soon learn
that American governors are not like
their Spanish predecessors. The idea that
an army Of 1Oo COO men will be needed 10
end the rebellion is a false one.
Il am hopeful that troubles in the is
lands soon will come 10 an end.
About the coming presidential cam
paign? / have not given it much atten-
tion. In my opinion. Bryan will be nom
mated by the Democrats.
Free silver will certainly be an issue
if Bryan has his way, but it is my belief
that the issues of the war will be the fea-
lures i'm the next presidential campaign.
What will the Senate do in relation to
Quay 1 can't speak for all the senators,

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Rest Features OF the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
Of piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point Is not obtained by the use
OF injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves Of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
IL IS done solely by its remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while 1t thus gives immediate relief
at the same time the disease is not merely
checked. but radical cure is accom-
plished
And the point we want to make clear is,
that all this is done without a particle OF
pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween II and almost any other treatment
for piles.
Every kind OF surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides en-
dangering the life OF the patient, and in
most cases Is not 10 be compared with the
Pyramid Pile Cure, neither In making
successful cures without pain nor In
cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public so long and its merits recog-
nized By too many people TO allow It 10 be
classed with the many saives supposito-
ries. pills, etc. and you run no risk in
trying Il. as II is often the case with
uniried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
Of piles or rectal disease do not forget the
