CROKER'S BANQUET
TO COST $4,000
To Be Give On Thomas JEFF
fersOn's Birthday.
Sixteen Hundred Democrats Ex-
pected to Participate.
Invitations to he Extended to Prom
inent Politicians Through
out the Country.

New York Feb. 23.-The Democratic
Club will observe Jefferson's Birthday with
a banquet ON April 13. But it will not bs
little banquet in the parlors Of the club,
as formerly, for the Democratic Club now
has thousands of members and bursting
treasury.
If present plans carry-and present plans
probably will carry, as Richard Croker is
back of them-the Democratic Club Will
this year hold its Jefferson Day banquet in
the Metropolitan Opera House, and it will
be the greatest banquet in point of num-
berS and spectacular effects ever held in
this city of famous feasts. The arrange
ments are not completed, but the word has
gone forth.
Here is the scheme Of the feast as out
lined by Mr.. Croker: The Metropolitan
Opera House is to be secured and covers
are to be laid for 1,600 men. One hundred
of these will be honored guests, the most
notable Democrats in the land The other
1,500 will be members of the Democratic
Club, and they will have to pay SO each
for their seats and food and wine.
Mr.. Croker says there will be at least
1850 members of the club at the banquet.
The proposition TO serve a banquet to
1,600 men is one at which a Delmonico or
Sherry would throw up his hands for
Delmonico and Sherry never undertake 10
serve more than 400 men at a dinner, and
the largest banquet ever served in this
city was the judiciary Centennial, which
Dorval served in the Lenox Lyceum, and
there were only 700 men.
But Steward Ross. of the Democratic
Club, tells Mr.. Croker he is positive if
he is given proper facilities he can serve
1000 men with steaming hot dishes and
trapped delicacies in the Metropolitan
Opera House. His plan is to build shed
over the Thirty-ninth Street sidewalk, be-
tween Broadway and Seventh Avenue,
over which there is now an arcade. and
cook his dinner in big, temporary kitch-
en- there.
This is as far as the plans have advanc-
ed, but in the inner circles of the Demo-
cratic Club the proposed banquet is now
the allabsorbing topic of conversation.

orders are TO take them to headquarters.
In this way Chief Devery expects to ter

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success of New Pill
Cure.

!
Cure.
People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience Of
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure OF all forms
of piles, known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such
as to warrant the investigation Of any suf-
ferer. AS a case in point, the following
letter speaks for itself
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 3,
Hosack Avenue. Columbus, Ohio, writes as
| follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen want you to use my name
| il IL will be of any use to you. / was so
bad with piles that l lost work on that ac-
count. Nothing helped me. 1 read in Gin
cinnati of the many cures of piles by the
Pyramid Pile Cure and l went to a drug
store and asked for it. The drug clerk
| told me that he had something else that
he thought was better, but l told him that
| wanted to try the Pyramid first
"The first box helped me so much that l
tried another, and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes. making four in
| all. l am now completely cured. Have
not a trace of piles and | had suffered for
| four years with the worst kind of protrud-
| lnB pies
Il suffered death from piles, but have
| found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
| represented. l have recommended it to
| several of my friends and am thankful to
| be able to write you what good the remedy
| has done me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium, CO.
caine, or mineral poison of any kind, and
because it is so safe and pleasant to use,
being painless and applied at night The
| patient is cured in surprisingly short
time and with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at so cents per package. and if there
! is any constipation it is well to use the
| Pyramid Pills at the same time with the
| Pile Cure, as constipation is very often
| the cause of piles, and the pills effectually
remove the costive condition. Price of pills
| is % cents per package.

During the last three years suffrage
propositions have met with thirty-Sevea
defeats in twenty States The bills before
you may or may not encroach upon con-
stitutional suffrage. If they do So We be-
lieye that you can be trusted to defeat
them; but even if they represent only dele
gated power, as does the school vote. we
have profound objections to them. They
would give special privileges to some and
equal rights to none. They would estab-
lish special privilege for the woman
who has property against the rights of the
woman who has none" Mrs. Crandall also
spoke against the bills.

forty years been a power in that country.
Among the witnesses to the marriage was
Lieut.. Richmond P. Hobson, who was a
fellow traveller with Miss Prior across the

The story of the long-ago betrothaI in
childhood days is highly interesting. DR..
Young Allen formerly lived in Atlanta. and

OF the struggle the ratings were broken
down and wooden steps torn off.
Failing to get past the doors. some of
the women who were the most violent in
their struggles climbed up the front of the

windows, which were locked. Some were
so anxious to get in that they smashed the
windows.
The disappointed crowd proceeded to the
back entrance and broke down the gate

Brooklyn for burial, another crowd was
waiting, but disturbance was avoided

VERY EASY.
Things That Can he Done Without
Much Trying.

1t is easy to be cheerful when one has all
he wants.
1t Is easy. by careless word, to shatter
reputation, but how hard it is to make
proper amends.
1t is easy to criticise work of art, much
easier than TO produce one. That is one
reason why critics are so plentiful.
1t is easy to tell a man not to worry
when his mind is burdened with a thous-
and cares The fellow who makes the sug-
gestion does not have to carry the load.
1t is easy to make list of remedies for
the bodily troubles incident to winter, but
it is not SO easy to select those that are
really worth buying.
1t is easy to see why Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky is so highly priced and is a stand
by in the family. This wonderful prepara-
tion has saved the lives of thousands and
it may save yours. 1t is today preserving
the health of countless individuals. The
Government admits that it is the only
medicinal whisky. because it is the only
whisky which the Government insists
upon affixing a revenue stamp to. thus
certifying that it is a medicinal whisky.
No other known whisky is so regarded.
