who met to elect him in 1878 only three
are alive, and more than a full college
of those he himself created cardinals
have died. The disappointed ambitions
and intrigues that came to naught have
become a grim joke. Pope Leo lives on
and the consistories are called instead
of the expected conclave. Nevertheless
the pope is we'll advanced in his ninety
first year, and is SO frail that he seems
to be kept alive almost by a miracle The
question of selecting his successor must
come up in a few years at most, and
may have to be decided any moment.
A careful sitting of the college cardi-
nails made by the Rome correspondent
of the Independence Beige, with a view
to discovering which of the present car
dinals are likely to be considered in the
coming election, is, therefore, of interest.
The Belgian newspaper, it may be we'll
to state, is anti-elerical in its policy,
but inasmuch as the Catholic party
plays conspicuous part In the politics
of Belgium, it finds it necessary to be
well informed as to what goes on at
Rome. 1t is opposed to the later re-
dictionary policy of the pope. for which
it holds Cardinal Rampolla responsible,
dating the change from the death Of
his predecessor, Cardinal Jacobini. and

States fastened to write to him their as,

they took good care not to publish Cardi-

1t takes a two-thirds vote of the cardi-

distant when, in the interests of the

The long pontiflcate of Leo XIII. has

Paris correspondent of the Chicago In
ter Ocean, that all surveys Of the sacred
college with the object of selecting the
cardinals who may be possible candi-

into discredit. The advanced age and
delicate health of the present pontiff at

soon, SO that plans for the future were
formed almost as soon as the new pope

Only One Pile Cure Which Can BE
Considered Such.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tif1c both In its composition and in it's
therapeutic action, and the best feature
is that 1t is perfectly harmless No i'll
effects ever result from it's use.
The cure is accomplished painlessly by
the astringent properties and healing oils
contained in It, which cause the little
tumors and congested blood vessels to
contract and the obstruction to the cir
culation to be removed.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppository
form and far superior to any salve or
ointment for convenience.
1t is applied at night and absorbed into
the sensitive rectal membrane, acting
both as a local and constitutional
treatment.
One 5O-cent box of the Pyramid has
I often been effectual. even in cases of
many years standing.
Relief from pain and itching is so i'm
mediate that patients sometimes imagine
that the remedy must contain some form
of cocaine or opium, but a careful analy
sis shows it to contain no cocaine, an
esthetic or injurious drug of any kind.
1t Is guaranteed free from any deleteri-
Gus substance
The ligature treatment, the knife, or
the still more cruel treatment by dila-
tation, besides causing intense pain and
sometimes collapse and death, are now
known to have little value as far as
permanent cure Is concerned.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness
to the value of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and even in cases where a dangerous
surgical operation has failed to cure sur
prising results have been obtained from
TINS remedy after weeks USE
A complete treatment of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists everywhere
at fifty cents.
The Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall,
Mich, will mail to any address a little
book on cause and cure of piles, and a
list of cured patients from all parts OF
the United States.

BERLIN. Oct. 2T.-The one hundredth
birthday of the late Field Marshal Won
Moltke was marked yesterday by Emper-
or William, who issued general army
order extolling Won Moltke thanking
providence for giving the fatherland such
a man, and expressing the hope that the
army will emulate his martial virtues.
AT the luncheon given in commemeration
the. emperor toasted the deceased soldier
as follows:
Let US raise our glasses in memory
OF the great field marshal who had no
equal as a victorious commander on the
pattleheid. as a teacher and organizer
in time of peace, and as faithful friend,
adviser and servants OF my house and my
person: May his spirit ever lead my
general staff in the future, as in the past,
to fresh achievements and victories.
The papers today devoted large space
to articles eulogizing Moltke, and giving
"reminiscences of his career. At most
OF the universities the, students fittingly
observed the centenary, as did the entire
army. Wreaths were9deposited upon the
grave in Creisau by hundreds of organi-
zauons, and everywhere shops exhibited
pictures of the great soldier.

A Good Shot.

A local sportsman, who has the repu-
tatiOn of being a very bad shot, recent
ly invited some of his friends to dine
with him. Before dinner he showed
them target painted on the barn door,
with IA bullet in the bullscyc. This he
claimed to have shot at 1000 yards
distance. AS nobody believed him, he
offered TO bet the price of an oyster
supper on it.
ON one of his guests accepting the
wager, he produced two witnesses,
whose vcracity could not be ques-
toned, to prove his assertion. AS they
both said that he had done what he
claimed he won the bet. At dinner
the loser of the wager asked how his
host had managed to fire such an ex-
cellent shot. The host answered, II

of 1000 yards and then | painted the
target around it."-Cincinnati En-

ADVERTISING.
It Has RcvOIutionizcd Husincss and
HCucitcd Humanity.

It Has RcVOlutionizcd business and
Benefited Humanity.
Advertising is indeed one of the great
developments of the age. 1t has revo-
lutionizcd business and made it posi-
bic to accomplish in few years what
otherwise would have taken genera
tionS to compass. Today the adVcrtiS-
Cr, through the medium of the public
press, can Introduce his article to the
entire public almost literally at Il
bound. Such II servant ut the sellers
elbow has naturally made business
vastly different from what it was sew
eral hundred years ago.
1t is no longer necessary, as it was
in previous generations. to conGne
ones commercial transactions to a linn
tied area. In fact, the manufacturer
of today regards the world as his field,
and there are quite Il number of pro-
prictary articles, widely and favorably
known in every quarter of the civilized
world, which have been introduced dur
ing the lifetime of their present pro-
prictorS. who are men only in the
prime of l!fe.
Without advertising, by which it is
possible to reach and influence hun
dreds of thousands of persons simultn-
neOuSly, such Il result could not be ac-
compliShcd in several generations, if
indeed it could be accomplished at all.
Nor has this advertising benefited the
seller only. 1t has brought to the
knowledge of the buyer the hundreds
of improvements and articles by which
life can be made more pleasant by
which the health can be preserved, the
palate gratiicd, the intellect fed and
satisfied
1t is no cNaggcration to say that no
force has c0nduccd more to knit the
world closely together nor made our
mutual interdCpendcncc more apparent.
