ing 81 $50 or $3.50 less than the amount

PUBLIC PARKS LOOK SHABBY.
Colonel BinRh ham Short of Funds fol-
Putting Them in Shape.

The public parks and other government
reservations are not in the best of con-
diton for this time Of the year. The grass
and shrubbery are in sore need of cutting
and trimming. but Col. Theodore A. Bing-
ham, Superintendent Of Public Buildings
and Grounds, remarked to a Times re-
porter this morning: What am I to do ?
The appropriation for the work is about
exhausted. and no T%ey will be avail

Colonel Bingham takes pride in the
parks. and he frequently inspects them
personally. The recent hot spell had
bad effect on the grass and shrubbery and

one feel as though they had heart trouble.

THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
ONCE BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY
CURE FOR PILES AND REC
tai DISEASES.
4 Better Way Nov Discovered Which Cures
Every Form Of Piles Without Pain or
Ineonvenienee.

Many people suffer the pain, annoyance,
| and other serious results from piles, for
| years. and after trying the many lotions,
salves, ointments. and the many so-called
cures without cure or relief, give up the
hope of final cure. rather than submit to
the intense pain and danger which a sur
gical operation involves.
Happily all this suffering is no longer
necessary since the discovery Of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure; a remedy which is approv-
ed by medical profession as being abso-
lutely safe. free from any trace of opiates,
narcotic, or mineral poisons and which
may be depended upon as a sure cure (not
only rslief) for any form Of piles, whether
itching. blind, bleeding. or protruding
Some of the hundreds OF cures recently
made are q little short OF marvellous, as
perusal Of the following will demon
strate:
Major Dean. Of Columbus, Ohio, says:
Il wish to add to the number OF certif-
Gates as to the benefit derived from the
Pyramid Pile Cure. l suffered from piles
for forty years and from itching piles for
twenty years and two boxes Of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure has effectually cured me-"
DR.. J. w. Meagan. OF Leonardville, Kan.
writes: Il have used one box Of Pyramid
Pile Cure and received more benefit and
relief than from any remedy had used in
the past twenty years.
James Jamerson. Dubuque. Iowa, says:
II suffered from piles for six years; have
just used the Pyramid Pile Cure and am
q well man."

AUTOMOBILES UNDER THE BAN
Rules Adopted Against Their Pres

Rules ADOPTED Against Their Pres
cnce ON Chicago Driveway.
Chicago, June 15.-The South Park board
yesterday adopted new rule forbidding
the use Of vehicles propelled by means Of
electricity In any Of the driveways or
boulevards controlled by the board. The
rule applies to all styles of automobiles,
whether used for pleasure or by business
houses for delivering goods. The argu-
ment for the rule was that the vehicles are
a menace to the safety of pedestrians, BIZ
cycles, or persons driving in the parks or
boulevards.
The police will be ordered to enforce the
rule, and It is expected suits will follow to
test the power Of the board to exclude au-
tomobiles from the parkways.
The general opinion is greatly at vari-
ance with the park board. The automo-
bile Is an indication Of advanced civiliza-
ton. Chicagoans say, and they propose to
insist on having the automobile put to the
use for which 1t is intended.
