REFUSES TO CHANGE.
Captain George A. Dow wan Not BE
Accommodating.

Capt George A. Dow, the city's agent
for the Auditorium, has refused all offers
made by the National Guard officers to
effect a compromise and give up the
lease of the drill hall ON May 2Sth to the
military exhibition. The Mayor offered
Capt. Dow to transfer the ball which the
latter has booked for the Auditorium,
for May 2sth, to City hall, thus giving
the National Guard the use Of the Audi
torium. This offer Capt Dow has not
seen fit to accept and as 1t appears now
1t seems as If the proposed exhibition
must be held in the street. Capt. Dow 5
refusal to tell the name of the person or
persons to whom he has leased the hall
50 that the officers might see them to
try and arrange n compromise and his
refusal to transfer the ball booked for the
Auditorium on the evening of May 2sth
strengthens the belief that Capt. Dow
is not actuated altogether by a desire
to promote the interests of the city or
of the National Guard in maintaining
his position.
If the exhibition takes place ON the
street it will probably be in Railroad
square, at the West End, where the May
or and the Adjutant General has agreed
to review the organization.

dressed and an hour later it was said
that, while serious, they were not of a
fatal nature.

and Qladness to the hearts and homes Of
thousands of suffering people who could

given to men that Is so little understood
or 50 beneficial to the human family as
the magnetic power to cure disease.
Gases of years standing, which have been
pronounced incurable, are daily being re-
stored to health by this mysterious agent.
Many of the worst cases are cured with
out the use Of medicine, simply by apply
ing the hands to the afflicted parts, and
driving from the human frame by means
of their great magnetic power, the pain
and suffering of years. Weak and shat
tered nerves, tired brain, poor blood, de-
bifitated system, physical exhaustion,

preston, hysteria, paralysis, numbness,

pitation of heart, sciatica, headache, dys-
pepsia, indigestion, loss of appetite, con-
stipation, biliousness, kidney and liver
diseases. and all diseases of the nervous
system Mr.. Henry Bush says that he has
been a long and constant sufferer from
SPINAL. kidney disease and sciatic rheu-
matism. He placed himself under the
care of the Vitapaths and he can now say
that he is once more "a strong, well and
hearty man, and considers his cure most
remarkable one. Seven years ago MT.

ATHLETIC MEET.
Interesting Time Expected at Bruns-
wick On Saturday.

At Brunswick on Saturday will be held
an athletic meet OF many Of the high
schools of the State. This will be the
second annual event of this kind, the
affair having been first realized last year.
and proving TO be grert success. This
year Bowdoin College sent out invita-
tions TO the fitting schools of the estate,
asking them to send representatives to
the meet at Brunswick. Bowdoin will
present banner to the school making
the most points, and will also present
individual medals TO the contestants.
There will be about $50 contestants.
In this vicinity the Portland High
school will he represented, as win also
Deering High school and Westbrook
Seminary. 1t is probable that Westbrook
High school will also be in the field. The
team from the Portland High school Is
under the management Of Mr.. Charles j.
Chapman. The captain Is Mr.. William
T. Rowe. The Portland boys are In good
condition for the event, and expect to
make a good showing at Brunswick.
There will be fifteen or twenty oontes-
tants from the Portland team. Several of
the members have gained excellent
records. Among them are Samuel T..
Worcester, long distance runner; Arthur
W. Lane, high jump; Philip Hanson,

differently, inasmuch as he writes as
follows:

Are peculiar in many ways.
They like to drink water without
Ice.
They would rather walk upstairs
than take an elevator.
They use ordinary portable bath
tubs in place of stationary porcelain
or metal ones such as we have.
What seems to us the funniest
thing of all is that they absolutely
prefer chicory in their coffee.
1t is easy enough for any one to
get adulterated coffee in this coun-
try. But the good housewife watches
carefully that she is not thus i'm
posed upon.
Those who have learned by ex-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees.
There is none better on the mar
ket. Every bean has beer carefully
selected from plantation ), famous
for their coffee crops.
The fact that these coffees bear
the seal of Chase & Sanbon is in
itself sufficient guarantee that they
are full weight and in every way
perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two-pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.

Had Papers and Photographs Identi-

Although it was practically known
that the right man had been arrested
it was made doubly certain by the ar
rival of Officer Ed O'Nell at o'clock
Mr.. O'Neil has been shadowing Sher-
man for several days. Recently he OBJ
tanned a photograph Of Richard J.
Koch, alias Sherman, from Joliet, Ill.
1t is alleged that Koch was prisoner
in the penitentiary at that place He
also had in his possession a Cleveland
Leader of April 10, 1900, containing
a likeness of the man. Both pictures
were exact counterparts of Sherman
with the exception of the moustaches.
At the time the photographs were tax
en-. Sherman wore a beard. Mr.. O'Neil
informed a Democrat reporter that he
had been in Pittsburg last Thursday
making inquiries relative to Sherman.
He had satisfied himself that the right
man was in Akron.

to Akron, Mr.. Washer wanted to come

As Sherman was about to climb into
the wagon, he said:
"Well, gentlemen, you have got the
right man, and / compliment you,
Chief Dunn, on your smooth work.
I give you credit for that"
At the North Howard st. depot
Sherman talked freely about his work

BLEEDING PILES
And All Other Forms Of Tbis Common and
Annoying Disease, Cured by the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure.

Thousands of men and women suf,
fer from some form Of piles without
either knowing the exact nature Of the
trouble, or knowing it, carelessly allow
1t to run without using the simple
means Of a radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointment
to cure piles has led many sufferers to
believe the only permanent cure to be
a surgical operation, but surgical oper-
ations are dangerous to life and more
over very expensive and by no means
always or even often, successful.
The safest and surest way to cure
any case of piles whether Itching, pro-
truding or bleeding is to use the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free from
mineral poisons and opiates.
Mr.. VIM. Handschu of Pittsburg, Pa,
after suffering severely from bleeding
piles writes as follows:
81 take pleasure in writing these
few lines to let you know that did
not sleep for three months except for
a short time each night, because Of a
bad case of bleeding piles. l was
down in bed and doctors did me no
good.
A good brother told me of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and l bought from my
druggist three so cent boxes They
completely cured me and l will soon
b cable to go to my work again."
The Pyramid Pile cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy but it is by
far the widest known and most popu-
lar, because so many thousands have
tried 1t and found it exactly as repre-.
sented.
Every physician and druggist in tho
country knows the Pyramid Pile Cure
and what it will do.
