IS 1T CURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those
Afflicted With piles.


Is a sprained joint durable? Is local in
fammation durable? OF course, If prop
erly treated. So are piles.
People become afflicted with piles and ask
some old chronic" who has always per-
sisted in the wrong treatment and natural
ly discourages them by telling them that
their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others and thus
a disease that might in every case be cured
by careful and skillful handling is allowed
TO sap the energy of thousands who might
free themselves of the trouble in a few
days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most ag-
gravated case of hemorrholds in an as
tonishingly short time. II relieves the con-
gested parts. reduces the tumors instantly
no matter how large, allays the infiamma
tion and stops the aching or itching at
once.
Thousands who have resorted to expen-
sive surgical treatment have been cured
by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a number of
instances persons who have spent months
in a hospital under a pile specialist.
1t is remedy that none need fear to ap
ply even TO the worst aggravated, swollen
and infiamed hemorrhoidal tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stubborn di-
sease you can master it and master it
quickly
This remedy is no longer an experiment.

ed by the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,

House Saturday night. The funeral will
be held from the undertaking establishment
of Nichols & Brown. in Second Street, near

pleted by Edward ]. Roche a member OF
the relief committee of the District of
Columbia volunteer reception and relief

The attention of the committee was called
to the fact that the remains of Hanvy had
been embalmed and could not be buried
because of a lack of funds to defray the
cost of a coffin and the funeral, by the
story published in The Times of yester-
day When the case was investigated it
was decided that although 1t did not come
within the province of the committee, a
point could be stretched in order to give
the soldier burial Accordingly, after OBJ

One OF the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after cure
has been effected, grateful women con-

fatherly advice, which was blended with
the phvsician's counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
regained.

sick and ailing woman. Every letter
received is read in private, answered in
private and its contents treated as sa-

Wife aud Two Children Cling to
the Defendant.
William X. Reed colored, charged with
the murder of Elizabeth Logan. also col
ored, was put on trial yesterday in Crimi-
nal Court No. 1, before Justice Clabaugh.
The crime of which he is accused was COM
mitted on the night Of September last
at the corner of and Second streets
southeast, and according to the evidence
offered by the Government it was deliber
ately planned and boldly executed.
The circumstances connected with the
killing as related by Assistant District
Attorney Joseph Shillington, in his OPEN
ing statement to the jury show that Reed
and the deceased had lived on intimate
terms, for some time before the murder was
committed. Reed although married, with
a wife and three children. spent a great
deal OF his time in the company of the
deceased and also contributed to her sup
port. He became jealous OF her and not
only told her, but others. tnat II she
went back" on him he would kill her
Having heard this the Logan woman
tried 10 keep out of his way but after a
persistent search he found her in company
with friend named Andrew Williams.
Reed approached them and said to the wo-
man:
Lizzie. 1 want to talk with you" and
she replied: No, I'm otherwise engaged"
Without further words Reed. it is said,
drew knife from his pocket and plunged
it deep into the womans neck She started
10 run away but did net go more than
twenty ieet ~hsn she fell to the pavement
ana ma Few moments expired.
Ihe defendant is represented by Attor-
neys Royal Hughes and Peril Frisby, who.
a fhn rln nf
ment, announced to the court that they
would reserve their statement of the line
Of defence. Reeds wife, with an infant
in her arms, was seated near the defend
ant during the day. while his two little
boys. aged eight and ten years, sat ON
either side of him.
The drawing of the jury was completed
very soon after the court convened and is
composed of the following: John H. Davis.
Charles T. Dickinson, Julius Tolson, John
H. Beecher W. H.. Robinson. Andrew
Archer, William C. Peake, Benjamin Sins
heimer, John T. Holden, E. G. Leopley.
NJ. c. Gallaher, and George ID. Biggs
The first witness called for the Govern
ment was DIR. Sterling Ruffn, who per-
formed the autopsy on the body of Eliza
beth Logan at the morgue. The Eext
called was Andrew Williams, the man TO
whom the Logan woman was speaking at
the time Reed approached her. His story
of the killing was substantially the same
as related by Assistant District Attorney
shillington. In addition, he said that as
Reed was coming toward them the Logan
woman handed him small stick, which
she had in her hand at the same time re-
marking. Take this stick, that man is
going to do something to me-
The trial will be resumed this morning
and it is expected that the Government
will close Its side of the case by noon.

THE NEW YEAR EVENT.

The cordial New Years greet
ing extended to Minister s. M
Damon by the Portuguese colony
was a very pleasant tribute to one
of the most prominent and popu-
lar figures In the Hawaiian Cab
met. Mr.. Damon has a quiet
unsssuming way Of doing good;
he sounds no trumpets and the
people generally have little knowl'
edge of his good works until a
demonstration like that of New
Years day crops out. 1t shows
that Mr.. Damon in his private and
official life keeps in touch with the
people; his official position does
not place him above the level OF
the men who earn their daily
bread by the sweat of their brow
No better demonstration of this
could be given than the simple
spontaneous and yet complete
expression of appreciative good
will that has been voiced by the
Portuguese people. Owing tc
Mr.. Damon's prominence in
political life the event
immt diately sets certain minds
at work forecasting and
commenting upon "Mr. Damon's
ambitions" We see no reason
for lacking Interior motives on
what was nothing more and moth
ing less than a cordial utterance
of the greetings of the season, a
season when politics are put aside
and the pleasantries of personal
esteem are exchanged.
If any political significance
were attached to the event, 1t could
only be in line of the proof of the
statement often made by this
paper that Mr.. Damon is the
strongest member of the present
Hawaiian Government, in the es-
timation of the people. The
Portuguese required no urging,
no political manipulation to Sc.
cure favorable comment; they
simply took the first opportunity
which custom and the calendar
give for making public their
heartfelt sentiments of gratitude.

KALAKAUA MONUMENT.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
Some information is due the pub
lie or at least to that portion of it
who contributed to the Kalakaua
monument fund, which was
placed in the hands of a certain
committee at the time that the
idea of monument to him or
other commemorative work was
first conceived, whether the object
for which that fund was collected
is being or is to be carried out.
1t may be that the sums in hand
are insufficient for the purpose re-
quired in which event the de-
mands for full information are
still further emphasized. More
then six years have elapsed since
the project was first mooted, but
so far the only practical outcome
appears to consist in the posses.
sion of certificates of stock granted
to the individual subscribers
while the committee have the
money.
Now that Hawaii has become
an integral part of the United
States, it seems eminently fitting
that the original project should
assume some definite shape, an(
then it the committee, wboeve,
they may be, are either unwilling
or unable to carry the matte
through, the public should SO b.
