SIX NEW BABIES
In the Family-Three Sisters Give
Birth to Twins in u Jersey Town.


Birth to Twins in "a Jersey Town.
NEWARK, n. j., March 17.-An
event which medical science in this
section is inclined to regard as I'M
ique in the birth record of the world
occurred last night in Mendham.
Three sisters, within little over three
hours, each gave birth to twins. All
of the mothers are of families well
known in the section in which they
live.
About o'clock Mrs. J. w. Cara
brant was safely delivered of two boys.
An hour later, while her husband was
receiving congratulations, a messenger
hurried to the house with the news that
his wife's sitser, Mrs. Charles Free
man, had just become the mother of
two boys.
Throwing up his hands in astonish-
ment, Mr. Garrabrant exclaimed:
"Who ever saw the like?"
After the messengers of mutual con-
graduation had ceased to hurry be-
tween the Freeman and Garrabrant
homes, two other messengers, all
GREATNESS, arrived at the two houses
with the news that the third sister,
Mrs. Frederick Guerin, had just pre-
scented her husband with two tiny
girls.
At first the Freemans and Cara
brants thought it big hoax. When
they learned the truth their wonder
ment knew no bounds. All the child
rem are healthy. There will be sex
tuple christening.

Porto Rico Suffering Because OF tine
Delay in Congress-Want Tarin
Question Settled at Once.
SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO,
March 17.-At a special meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce to-day, it was
decided to close all business houses
on Monday afternoon to enable the
merchants to attend an open air
meeting on the Plaza with the object
of drawing up a petition to Governor
General Davis demanding immediate
Congressional decision on the tariff
one way or the other. The agree
ments were sent to all towns through
out Puerto Rico requesting like dem
Onstrations.
The feeling of uncertainty regarding
the tariff holds business practically at
a sstandstill, the merchants being
afraid to order goods or to advance
funds on the planters accounts. The
meeting to-day was conducted in a
calm and business-like manner. The
merchants here will be satisfied to
accept any decision of Congress, either
free trade, the % or Is per cent. tar1fi,
but they ask for a settlement OF the
question, SO that business activity may
be resumed. They decided to take
this unparalleled step only after ma
ture- elaboration.
Sixty countrywomen marched from
Naranjito, arriving last evening and
petitioned Governor General Davis to
save. them from starvation and to pro-
vide work and food.
The women presented a most pltla-
BILE sight. They were barefooted and
ragged, half naked, dust-covered and
weary from their journey. Some OF
them were lame; all were discouraged.
The petition which they presented
to the governor general tells the story
of the depressing times; no work; the
price of rice, beans and bread beyond
reach; fruits destroyed and the relief
supply discontinued, bringing them
and others where they came from al
most to starvation.
Gen Davis promised relief to the
party and requested the mayor to pro-
vide transportation. His reply was
that there was not a peso in the treas
ury and that the police were yet I'M
paid for their last two months work.
The party of women dispersed quietly,
some retracing their steps afoot, 9TH
ers, begging easier conveyance to Mar
aniito, which is twenty miles from
San Juan, a portion of the road being
almost impossible
Similar parties are expected from
other towns.

Archbishop Elder was unable to be at
New Orleans tonight to deliver his
address at the opening of the Catholic
winter school. He delivered the adj
dress at st. Mary's semeinary, in this
city, and it was transmitted by long

Archbishop Chappelle was also to have
spoken in New Orleans tonight. Be-
fore leaving for the Philippines sew

speech in a photograph, and as it was

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE green

ors on public buildings in New YORK;
to-day, while many business buildings
and private houses also flew the en-
sign of the harp. Overhead the day
was all that could be desired, but I'M

which the st. Patrick's day procession
tramped bravely, headed by the Sixty
ninth regiment, with the First regi-
ment of Irish Volunteer infantry. AS
usual the parade was under the aus
pices of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, and was participated in by all
of the Irish societies. Besides the
parade there were several other cele-
brations of the day, and tonight
nearly all of the Irish societies and
military organizations gave balls, din

DISCARDED
The Old Methods OF Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases Supplanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The Old Methods Of Treating Pile
and Rectal Diseases SuppIanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
The old methods of treating piles
by ligature, by the knife or by the
cruel methods of dilatatioh, besides
cuasing intense pain and frequent
ly collapse and death, are now
known to be but mere makeshifts
as far as cure is concerned.
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 it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a
salve or ointment, but SUPPOSE
tory which is applied at night and
absorbed into the sensitive rectal
membrane and acts both as a local
and constitutional treatment, and
in cases of many years standing
this treatment has been effectual.
Thousands of pile suffers bear
witness TO the inestimable value of
the Pyramid and even those who
have undergone surgical operations
without cure have been happily
surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyra-
mid
The relief from pain is so imme-
date that patients sometimes i'm
agine that the Pyramid contains
opiates or cocaine because the re-
lief is so instantaneous, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is guaranteed
absolutely free from any opiate or
mineral poison whatever
The relief is the result of the
astringent properties of the remedy
which causes the little tumors and
congested blood vessels to contract
and a normal circulation is estab-
lished.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly
scientific, both in its composition
and in its therapeutic action and
the best feature of it is that 1t is
perfectly safe and harmless. No
i'll effects ever results from it's use,
but only positive benefit.
A singular fact, in view of the
large number of patent medicines
before the public is that the Pyra-
mid is the only pile cure of nation
al reputation. 1t is the only pile
cure popular enough and meritor-
ious enough to be found in every
drug store in the United States.
1t sells at so cents a package.
