Miles May BE Next.

It is rumored in Washington that
the president has under consideration
courtmartial for Major General Miles.
How far the preparations to that end
have gone it is impossible to say, but
it comes from the highest authority
that courtmartial is imminent. This
is to be based of the generals charges
in the matter of the beef furnished the
army and upon certain other matters
for which he will be strongly criticised
in the report of the war investigation
committee to be handed to the presi-
dent within the next few days.
1t has been evident Throughout the
hearings that the committee was bring
ing out a good deal Of testimony
against General Miles, and a report
throwing blame on him for the selec-
ton of bad camps, for uncalled for
statements about the beef furnished
the army, and for other sins of COM
mission and omission, is confidently
expected.
It comes from high officials of the
war department that the determine
ton has been reached to order court
martial of the major general command
ing the army. if the commissions re-
port furnishes the ground for a court
martial, and they believe it will.

The Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppIanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
The old methods Of treating piles by
Igature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilatation, besides causing
intense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far as a cure is con-
cerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly every
case Of piles and the mistake has been
made of treating piles as a purely local
disease. Such Is not the case, however,
and the success Of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated 1t.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a. salve
or ointment but a suppository which is
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as a local and constitutional treat
ment, and in cases Of many years stand
ing this treatment has been effectual.
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimabe value Of tho
Pyramid and even those who have I'M
dergone surgical operations without a
cure have been happily surprised by re-
suits from Il few weeks treatment with
the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or co.
caine because the relief is so instan-
taneous, but the Pyramid Pile Cure /.
guaranteed absolutely free from any
opiate or mineral poison whatever
The relief is the result of the astrin-
gent properties of the. remedy which
causes the little tumors and congested
blood vessels to contract and a normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tifc, both In It's composition and in its
therapeutic action and the. best feature
of 1T is that It is perfectly safe and
harmless. No Ill effects ever result from
its use, but only positive benefit.
A singular fact, In view Of the large
number of patent medicines before the
public Is that the Pyramid is the only
gPile cure of national reputation. It IS
the only pile cure popular enough and
3nertorious enough to be found In every
sqrug store IN the United States. 1t sells

Disappointed at the Third Failure

LONDON, Oct. 7.-suffering from dis
appointment at the failure of the race
for the Americas cup, and the feeling
of dissatisfaction caused by mo race
yet, leads to the belief that the Shamrock
has only lacked the opportunity to make
good her claim.
Much enthusiasm was aroused by the
news that the Shamrock was nearly a
mile ahead of her competitor, but this
quickly abated when word came that the
race had been declared off The crowds in
the streets and in the music halls and
hotels freely expressed their disgust, and
the arrangements for the contest are
generally condemned as unsatisfactory
and irritating.
The leading papers this morning do not
notice the race in their editorial columns.

Is Under a spe1l-NichoIas' Mother
Detests Her-LooIked on as an In
truder.
The czarina has never been popular in
Russia. From the very day of her ar
rival there, indeed she has been looked
on askance as an intruder-one who has
neither part nor lot in the land, says the
London World. And Of late the feeling
against her has become much more in
tense. Whereas q few months ago she
was merely disliked, she Is now hated.
She Is spoken constantly as "the for
eigner," as the Englishwoman' by one
party and "the German by another, and
it Is always taken for granted that she Is
more in sympathy with Russia's enemies
than she is with Russia's friends. The
Panslayists accuse her openly Of hating
Russia and all things Russian even the
orthodox church; had she her way, they
declare, the whole empire would speedily
lose it's distinctive characterize western
lied in fact. She has no feeling at all
for Russia's mission" they say, and
that, Of course, is in their eyes the I'M
pardonable sin. Nor Is 1t only the Pan
slavsts who attack her The whole mill
tary party to g. man are aaginst her,
with the Grand Duke Vladimir at their
head; and so are the clericals, with the
all-powerful Pobdedonostzew. Even at
court she stands alone, for her own
ladies in waiting join in the tntrigues
against her, and are never weary Of eX-
tolling at her expense the czarina dow
ager. What is perhaps still more serious,
the middle classes, who regarded her at
first with a certain amount of favor, are
gradually deserving her, while the great
mass Of the people. even the poor dumb
dogs" the peasants, cherish against her
a feeling of sullen resentment.
The unpopularity of the czarina is the
more remarkable as there is no sovereign
consort in all Europe who does her work
in life more conscientiously than she
does, or who strives harder to win the
love of her people. No one ever appeals
to her In vain for aid or sympathy: no
scheme for lettering the lot of the poor
Is ever brought to her notice to which,
If she can, she does not give helping
hand. She is a woman Of marked ability,
one who might play an important role In
the world were she to have the chance.
She is kindly, too, sweet natured and has
a mind of sound practical common sense
On the other hand she has what is for an
empress a most disastrous habit, that of
calling spade a spade, and she is some
what lacking in tact, as she proved too
we'll in her famous anti-cigarette cam
paign. Surely she might have put a stop
to smoking at her court without making
quite so many enemies. Although de-
voted wife and mother, she is keenly
interested not only in art and literature,
but in politics, and she is known to hold
decided views as to the lines on which
imperial affairs should be managed. In
deed, one Of the outcries raised against
her-most unjustly-is that she interferes
in state affairs and sometimes uses her
influence over her husband to thWart
the best laid plans OF his ministers.
WHY SHE IS UNPOPULAR
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-08
WHY SHE IS UNPOPULAR.

Much of the czarina's unpopularity
among the uneducated classes--i. e., the
bulk of the population--is owing to an odd
feeling they have that she Is under an
unlucky spell-that the il1cns do not smile
on her When she crossed the Russian
frontier she was received with lamenta'
tions, for the Gear Alexander lay dying
and the whole nation was in sore dis
tress 1t was by his deathbed that she
was betrothed, and the baked meats of
his funeral might well have furnished
forth her marriage tables. AS bride she
had to listen to De Profundis instead Of
to wedding hymns, and to go about in
mourning garments The Russians are a
superstitlous race and they shook their
heads even then. Evidently this western
bride found no favor in the eyes Of the
fates. What good could come of mar,
rlage celebrated In such circumstances?
The birth of three daughters In success
sion, while the empire Is left without an
hoir, is proof, they now say, that their
former forebodings were but too we'll
founded.
Another reason for the i'll will with
which the csarina Is popularity regarded
lies undoubtedly in the rumors current

A Church Social.

Last Tuesday evening "a reception
was held at the Reformed Church par
sonage by the Ladies Aid Society of
the Church in honor of the Both ami
verSary.
Through the kindness of George
Wehner the parsonage was tastefully
decorated with palms and other ported
plants, as also the church last Sunday.
Refreshments were served. The ex-
cellent music furnished by the Man
dolin and Guitar Club and the Orches
ira of the church was a treat highly
appreciated by all, as was also the vo-
cal duet by Misses Emma Wehner and
Emma Hohing. Instrumental solos
and duets were other delightful
features of the entertainmeut.
"reminiscences of past years formed
the topic of conversation with the older
members, whilst ninth and congeniaI
ity pervaded the young element. The
only regret expressed was that the
evening passed away too speedily.

The gossip of the week goes to the
effect
l, That the JOURNAL is away OFF, on the
authorship Of Bowery.'
,, That "Bowery" has a record in repub-
lican annals as an office hunter and I'M
deservedly an office holder
3, That, behind that record there is story
to which he disllkes anyone to make refer
ence.
4, That if that history could be eifaced or
forgotten by those injured by it, it would be
a great relief to him,
5, That he would like to have the promoter
of Il certain resolution adopted by a repub-
lican county convention, which, among
Others, denounced his appointment to office
as H"~iSe ana 'WrepubiicaH-in some distant
cline, but popular majority of the people
thought it better to keep the promoter here
in Allegany county to ill several positions of
honor and trust; and last, not least
6, That with all the crimes of which the
JOURNAL is accused by "Bowery," he cannot
say that the great paper ever placed other
than its own signature to a political paper.
The foregoing remarks Indicate that
there is more than one historian in

Why Jack son" Appears,

Several weeks ago the JOURNAL in
formed the Forum that it was under
obligations to the great paper for sup
pressing a letter rejecting upon the
business integrity of the company.
This was stated IN good faith,
1t has turned out, however, that the
president of the Forum company does
not appreciate such kindly offices.
On the contrary, he seems to be in.
spired with the devilish notion that if
nothing else will accomplish his pur-
poses, he will ruin whatever stands in
the way of satisfying his tax-eating
appetite.
Jackson" it will be seen in this
connection, was thinking of the coun-
ty election next fall. He is evidently
not concerned in the corporate aft airs
of Frostbqrg:
He is informed, however, that if the
Electric Light company Gan fool the
miners in this town this spring, and ii
the president of the Forum company
can carry out a reported plan of his
to crafty an official aspiration in the
county election, 1.-THE wave of pros

A PrODIlecy.

The JOURNAL was surprised to learn
a few days ago from Alfred Jeffries,
superintendent, that il is necessary to
run the pump in order to keep the
town supplied.
The six springs on this side are not
strong enough to keep the reservoir in
adequate supply.
Yet Council is still charging the
area of consumption.
Unless the artesian well proves to
be a success more than the people have
right to expect, time is coming I'M
der the current policy when the supply
will not be equal to the demand.
Last year, fortunately, there was no
drouth.
For this year no one can speak.
But a time of drouth is sure TO come.
Then the draft will include reservoir
dregs and pipe scourings.
Next-people will have to resort to
low wells and tlItrations of cesspools
through town springs.

Altogether a mistake,
If j. Bowery Williams, for instance,
had signed his full name last week, no
attention whatever would have been
given letter written apparently by
himself. In fact, nobody would have
read it.
But as it was signed "Bowery,"
Forum readers were thereby disabled
from giving it its true measurement.
