frequenter of the place of small sums.
Sherin D. c. Masters Of Harvey county

If Mitchell manages to escape convic-
ton OF the charge against him in Harvey

of Lewis Kistler Of this city, on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Friday Mitchell turned up in
this city and went to Kistler's place. He
introduced himself and showed Kistler
letter from John Relph, well known
farmer near Halstead, with whom Kist-
Ter was acquainted. The letter stated
that the writer would send Mitchell a
considerable sum Of money to this city
in payment for some work.
Mitchell represented to Kistler that he
was short of money and borrowed sew
eral dollars from him. He returned sew
eraI times and borrowed additional sums
until he had obtained so in all. kistler
at last became suspicious that he was be-
ing worked and telephoned Reiph at Hal
stead and asked him if everything was
all right
Relph at once said that he knew Nit
chell but that he had written him no let
ter and that he was not going TO send
him any money, as he did not owe him.
Kistler at once put Detective Park Mas
sey on the case, but in the meantime the

NO PAIN, THRILLING EXPENSE
Simple, Harmless Remedy for the
Cure Of Piles

A person contracts a cold, pneumonia,
rheumatism and pleurisy from exposure;
dyspepsia and liver troubles from dietary
errors and the causes of most diseases
are easily traceable, but although piles
and rectal troubles are as common as
any of these, the cause is obscure.
Violent exertion, as in lifting. some
times produces them and a sedentary oc-
cupation is by some supposed to be a
predispOsing cause, but as a rule piles
and rectal troubles appear without ap-
parent provocation.
There are many pile salves and ONT
ments which give temporary relief and
when these fail, the patient, if he can
afford the expense and IS willing to take
the risk, has resource to a surgical OPP
Grafton. But there is one remedy which
gives immediate relief and the regular
use Of which will bring about a perma-
nent cure and that is the we'll known
Pyramid Pile Cure.
In long standing eases the Pyramid has
proven to be the only cure except dan
gerous and exceedingly painful surgical
operation, and its advantages over any
kind of operation are many, as it is
painless, causes no interference with
daily occupation. and being in the form
of suppository is always convenient
and ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is an effective
combination of soothing oils and anti
septic acids. 1t contains no cocaine nor
nerve destroying opiates and unlike most
pile salves, contains no bo-chlOride of
mercury nor any poisonous, injurious
drug OF any kind.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure
at 50 cents for complete treatment of
the suppositories.
A little book on cause and cure Of piles
will be mailed free by addressing Pyra-
mid Drug Co, Marshall Mich,

Miss Ethelyn Palmer, who will play in
the curtain raiser "Drifted Apart with
VIM. Riley Hatch at the Elk benefit
March 16 and Il. Is the late leading lady
Of the Woodward Stock company Of Kan
Sas City. She is a beautiful woman, very
fair and rather tail, and one of the best
actresses of modern drama now before
the American public. The play IS a one
act curtain raiser by Sir Charles Young,
Bart, and the part played by Miss
Palmer is one in which Rose Coghlan
and Cora Tanner starred The part is
especially strong for Miss Palmer and she
has won many laurels in it. Mr.. VIM.
Riley Hatch, who is directing both the
curtain raiser and the opera, and appear
ing in the leading roles of each, was the
leading man with the Woodward Stock
company this past season. He was lead
ing baritone with the Castle Square com
pany at the Studebaker theatre at Chi
cago, last season, and the season before
leading baritone with Camille D'Arville.
Miss Russell who sings Mabel, has a
beautiful voice, and the character fits her
as if it had been written for her. Mrs
Hubert Childs will be an ideal Ruth
Her rich contralto shows TO excellent eff

Edith, furnishes much of the life Of the
opera Miss Whey, as Kate, is cute, and
splendidly fitted for the role. While lit

and pretty picture as the most exacting
could wish to see. In the ensembles are
found some extremely pretty young la
dies, Ella Chandler, Margaret Mcdonald,
Inez Johnson Jessie Copeland and
Aignon Fosnot being among the number.
Mr.. Jack Shields has sung Frederick
many times, and his high tenor is too
well known to need further mention. Hal
Mccoy shows up so well at rehearsaIs
that he is sure to make an excruciatingIy
funny police sergeant. Mr. Yost, as the
straight and dignifed, yet ludicrous, ma
j0r general, seems to have caught the
Gilbertian idea Of the character, and Mr.
Pierrepont who sang Samuel at the pre-
vious local performance of this same
opera several years ago. is thoroughly at
home and abundantly efficient in his role

THE BLUE HENS CHICKENS,

Origin of the Phrase That Has Been Be-
slowed on Delaware.
The sobriquet Blue Hens
Chicken" bestowed upon the little
State of Delaware, meaningless and
absurd as 1t may seem, possesses no
slight significance, says the Boston
Transcript. 1t is Of military origin,
and is as old as the State itself; older.
in fact than the United States, for II
originated before the Revolution, and
ia the following manner: A regiment
of 800 men was formed in Wilmington,
which was called the Delaware
Blues,'' from the blue uniforms worn
by its members. Old chronicles de-
scribe this body Of soldiers as being
perfectly drilled and disciplined, par
ticularly in their marching. During
the War of the Revolution this regi-
ment participated in every action from
Long Island to Charleston, and &c fest
as they fell IN battle their ranks were
recruited from Delaware alone, One
of their officers used to say that he
could march all day with them from
sunrise to sunset, and when the enemy
was retieating, ard everyone else was
tired and sleeping after the days exer-
tiops, his Sussex soldiers would dance
around their campfires to The music of
a fiddle. They were engaged In 32
last to retreat 1t was hut natural,
and che boast of Delaware-a State
which. small as it was In area, is eaid
to have furnished 5000 men to the
patriot cause, and in which scarcely
man was left who had not D friend or
n ralation in tha repimarit III
Capt. Caldwell had a company in this
regiment which was recruited from
Kent and Sussex counties. and wBs'
called by the rest " Caldwell's Game
Cocks" and the regiment itself after
time was in Carolina nicknamsd "The
Blue Hens Chickens or THE Blue
Cbickcns," as the fun and fancy of
their comrades dictated. Capt. Geld
wells men distinguished themselves
in the South IS well as the North, and
their renown became SO great that the
name of 1.-THE Blue Hem wae applied
to the State that sent so many brave
men to uphold the oountry's honor. 1t
became popular saying whenever the
recruiting officers visited Delaware
that they had gone to get more
chickens Of her raising, and those who
came from Kent were chiefly taken
from her forests ofiwhite oak. Most of
the brave Delaware soldiers died in the
battles that marked that long struggle
for liberty and those who at length re-
turned to their homes received hut
small compensation for their devotion
to the flag beyond the satisfaction OF
having performed their, duty to their
country. Thoy were paid Off In Conti-
mental money which was about as valn-
able as the Confederate money was in
the South at the CLOSE of the Civil
War. 81

have it ready when the summer rush
begins. Painters arc busy on the pavil-

will look as bright as new. As was
stated some time ago the boats arc here
in charge of an experienced boat
builder and are being thoroughly over
hauled and painted. They will be back
at the park about June LIST.
The water was drawn of from the
swimming pond sometime ago. As soon
as the mud dries sufficiently force of
men will be employed to scrape the
bottom and haul away all the mud and
debris. Then nice coat of sand will
be placed on it, after which nothing
will remain to be done hut turn the
water into 1t and it will be ready for the
bathers. The canvas is being put on
the wooden frames that serve as
! shelter under which meals may be-
spread.
Charles PralL who will have charge
of the grounds and the amusements
this season, began moving his things
out today. He will set up the merry
go.iound and establish the refresh
ment stands as soon as possible; but
several days must elapse before he is
ready for business. Some picnic dates
have been arranged.
The first is June 9th, when the High
Street Friends School and the Gradual
ing class Of the West Chester High
School will be there.
Itsis likely that this will be the OPEN
ing day as it is probable that any Or
CARNATIONS coming hereafter to fix
duties will choose to go later in the
season.
There are some new attractions talked
Of, hut they have not yet been definitely
arranged, but few days may suffice to
determine what will come and who will
be in charge Of the different lines of
amusement.
