Went Down IN Thirty Seconds
THE STERN PORTION SOON FOLLOWED
Collision Occurred During q Thick Fog 80
Miles OF Tuskar Light -Cimpin|a's Bow
Steve and Fsrspsik Flooded.

London. July 22.-- Adcnse fog hung over
the Irish Channel Saturday. Cunard line
steamship Campania. en- route for Liver
pool from New York, struck the Liver
pool bark Embleton, bound for New
Zealand, amidship cutting her In twain
The Embleton sank Immediately. Seven
OF the crew were rescued, but IL is be-
lieved the other II members of the ships
company, including the captain. were
drowned. The Campania had her bow
stove in. but arrived safely at Liverpool
tve and a half hours late.
The Campania was little injured, but
had a narrow escape from serious dis
aster.
At Tuskar light the fog was becoming
denser every moment. When the Cam
pania was 30 miles northeast of the light,
q phantom ship rose suddenly, without
warning. directly across heH bows.
Thirty seconds later the phantom had
became a solid sailing vessel, into which
the liner crashed, her steel forefoot going
through the Embleton like the clean cut
of sword and dividing her just abaft
instantly. The stern swung viciously
round. and the mast and yards for a
moment tore ait the Campania. A lump
of wreckage came down on her decks
Then the stern OF the bark also dis
appeared, and the sea was Uttered with
splintered timbers, boxes, barrels, the
whole upper works and lighter cargo, the
deck house and such things.
From the instant when the phantom
came into view from the bridge OF the
: Campania until the last vestige of the
vessel vanished some 20 or SO seconds
had elapsed.
According to the Embleton's survivors,
for nearly half an hour before the colli-
sion the captain and the first officer were
below at breakfast and although the fog
whistle OF large steamer could be heard
every minute the bark never shifted her
course. Inc helmsman receiving no order.
When at s:25 am the second officer

of a steamers bows" he shouted down
to the captain. who rushed on deck. but
he was too late to give an order.
The Campania was under one-third
steam. The captain. first officer and
pilot were on the bridge. The engines
were instantly reversed and helm put
hard down. No precautions were omit
ted.
After the crash and the sudden cries
tho boats we're quickly got out. There
were no signs of panic: the crew were
everywhere at their stations; the best
discipline was maintained; the bulkheads
were closed and everything possible was
done to save life.
Some of the campania's plates were
bent by the collision; her forepeak filel

broken short sofr and her steel rigging
torn and twisted.
The passengers held a meeting. adopt

and crew, and subscribed E700 for the
relief of the survivors and the families

prevent her sailing for the United States

THE OLD METHOD
OF Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases
Now Discarded.

OF Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases
Now Discarded.
Thousands of sufferers bear witness TO
the value Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
even in cases where dangerous surg1-
cal operation has failed TO cure. surpris-
ing results have been obtained from the
new remedy after a few weeks use.
Relief from pain is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid Pile Cure must contain some
form Of cocaine or opiate, but q careftl
analysis shows it TO contain no opiatn,
cocaine or any injurious drug whatever,
in fact it is guaranteed absolutely free
from any deleterious substance.
The old methods of treating piles by
ligature, knife or the still more cruel
treatment by dilatation. besides causing
intense pain and freQuen. collapse and
death, alt 1Jw known to be practically
useless as far as permanent cure il
concerned.
Nearly every case of piles may be
traced to faulty action Of the LIVER and 1t
is a mistake to treat the trouble entirely
by local applications of saives and oint-
nients or by any kind of operation. The
, lLSH ny tHt y iLdS
clearly demonstrated it's superiority over
all of these.
The Pramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tific both in it's composition and i'll it's
therapeutic action and the best feature
of it is that it is perfectly safe and
harmless, No i'll effects ever result
from its use.
The cure is accomplished gradually
and painlessly by the astringent proper
ties contained in it, which cause the lit
tie tumors and congestcd blood vessels
to contract and the obstruction to the
circulation to be removed.
In view Of the immense number of
patent medicines on the market, il ia
a singular fact that the Pyramid is the
only pile cure of note. the only one that
is sold and recommended in every drug
store in the United States
The remedy is in suppository form and
far superior 10 any salve or ointment for
convenience. 1t is applied at night and
absorbed into the sensitive rectal mem
brane. acting both as local and CON
stitrrtional treatment The treatment is
effectual even in cases of many years
standing
Complete treatment of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists everywhere
at % cents and a little book on cause
and cure of piles will he mailed free

A TRULY GOOD TRUST

New York has not been devoting all
of its time to protecting itself against
the contamination of the stage lately;
its activity has been taking wide ana
beneficem range, the scope of which in
cluded great continental debate" on
trusts as a sort of conterblast to the
Chicago meeting.
Whether or not the matter was settled
course, to be presumed that it was. AT
any rate the discussion was highly edi-
flying, to the participants, and developed
some features worthy of passing notice,
among them definition of sure enough
good trust. President Baldwin, of the
Long Island railway, according to the
New York Times, set down the following
az the ear marks of a god trust:
'In the first place, he said, a trust
was a combination of cap,ta in order to
purchase raw material at the lowest
price consistent with a fair profit; sec
ondly, to pay n high rate of wages, and
thirdly, TO sell at a lower price than
could be offered by any smaller comblna-
tom Of capital. That was the only nd
of trust either economic or political that
could survive public opinion or the final
analy il Of the great question of trusts. y
We had supposed all along that the
Standard Oh trust and the American To
bacco trust were not only good, but
deeply pious, while We were disposed K
regard the armor plate trust as at least
close third. They do not, however
seem to quite square with the definition
and either the trusts or the dehni ion vii
have to be revised. Can it be that Mr.
Baldwins good trust was only imag!n
airy Is the horrible suspicion that it is
easier to define a good trust than to find
one well grounded?
1t is now in order to define an honest
thief as one who never steals anything
that does not belong to him.

THE END IS NOT YET.

The rast week has been the most
and~the Boer republics in that 1t marks
the first turning of the tide. The over
whefming superiority of the English, the
brute force of sheer numbers, is bound
10 tell in the end if the civilized world
leaves Rrtan and Il er to fight the death
grapple to the last. No d gree of courage,
however unyipld ng, no devotion TO cotn-
tSy, however absolute, and MO amount OF
dash and strategy in battle can triumph
over ever increasing numbers and nearly
inexhaustble material resources. The
South proved that thirty years ago.
Nevertheless it must not be supposed
that the end of, the present war is at
hand or in sight. Gen raj Clon9e with
5000 men is hemmed in by General
Roberts with $4,000; there can be but
one outcome if help from outside does
not cut the investing line; but the cap
ture or destruction of Cronje's army VIII
be but the first of series Of costly VIC
rories that must be won before terms
cam be dictated at Pretoria. The war
has gone far enough to develop the fact
that the TranSvaal is a vast arsenal and
every Boer knows how to use his gun.
That sort of a country is not conquered
in a day nor in one battle.
Meantime it should be clear that men
do not fight as Cronje and his men are
fighting at Paardeberg drift when the
only inspiration is the success of n poll
teal conspiracy, and the British allege
that the war is the result of the plotting
Of Boer politicians and not of British
Outrages.

Tobacco Mems Organization.
Winston Salem, y. C.. Fen. .

Winston Salem. y. c., FEB. "a. 3
To the Editor: | expect to make appli-
cation at the June session Of the Legis-
1ature for charter authorizing, me to
organize the Tobacco Mems Benevolent
Association" The tobacco Journals have
recently contained notices of plan. and
tobacco men throughout the State have
endorsed it. My idea is to organize an
association, consisting entirely Of tobacco
men. and allow any man who is engaged
in any department of the trade to be-
come member of said organization by
paying fee of $500. The only qlalifi-
cation that an applicant shall have is
good moral character. Aat the death
of Il member Of the association each sur
wing member pays S1.15, 81 90 to so to
the family of the deceased brother and
the 10 cents towards paying expenses,
etc. Suppose in this State we could secure
two thousand members? This would give
each member an insurance policy of
$1,000. Another feature l would recon-
mend is that when member becomes
sick and is unable to pay any assessment
that might occur he be considered a
member in good standing and in case or
death shall receive full benefits. l shall
he glad to hear from tobacco men in
all sections in regard 30 this matter and
will be thankful for suggestions.
Yours truly,
