The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
a pleasant surprise to thousands OF
sufferers from piles, because OF the
instant relief it gives and prompt
cure which results from its regu-
lar use, and this is done without
the use of opiates, narcotics or
poisons of any kind. as the Pyra-
mid is wholly free from any injur-
ious drug whatever.
Hundreds who had almost decid-
ed to undergo an operation. believ-
ing nothing else would cure them,
have been astonished TO find that
a fifty cent box Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure was far safer, better and
more effective than an operation
could possible be.
The Pyramid is sold by all drug
gists at SO cents for full sized pack
age.
Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
shall, Mich, for little book on
cause and cure of piles.

To the ingenuity of the ladies of the
Woman's Hospital Association, which
has been evidenced in many affairs in
recent years. is the public to be in
debted for a decidedly novel and in
%strnctiye entertainment which is now
being arranged. The ladies have de-
cided upon a loan exhibition of relics
and curios, which will take place about
the time Admiral Dewey favors the city
with a visit. The immense store room
in the Hawley building. corner Main
and Tenth streets, will be used for the
purpose.
The ladies and the gentlemen asso-
ciated with them have been at work
upon the idea for several weeks. Last
night a general meeting OF the Com
mittee on Arrangements was held at
the residence of DR.. F. J.. LeMoyne
Hupp, on Fourteenth street. Plans for
the exhibition were discussed. and a
number of subcommittee named in
order to facilitate the work of collect
ing, arranging, and displaying the cur
los.
The Hawley building is admirably
adapted for the purpose. The ladies
will publish a catalogue, which will be
almost indispensable, will be a souvenir
of the exhibition, and will be another
source of revenue The exhibition will
continue for an entire week, in which
event it is likely that special features
will be arranged for each day, embrace
ing concerts, etc. Luncheon will be
served, and there will be a smoking
room for gentlemen. and other con-
veniences. Mr.. Hawley has very gen
erously consented to permit the use Of
his building gratuitously.
The executive committee Is COM
posed of Henry M. Russell, chairman;
Mrs. w. F. Butler. Mrs. VIM. F.
Stifel, Mrs. Margaret Dalzell, Mrs.
Joseph Metcalf, Mrs. Howard Hazlett,
DR.. r. M. Baird, Rev. Joseph Speers,
and DR.. Frank j. LeMoyne Hupp. The
committee has sent out postal cards
notifying two hundred and sixty per-
sons of their appointment on commit
tees, and it is desired that replies be
given not later than Monday or Tues
day. Responses should be SEN to the
chairmen of the respective committees.
The committee already has the nu-
clues for a creditable exhibition. 1t
embraces war relics and curios, fine
paintings, art specimens, needle work.
revolutionary relics. and many arti.
Giles of great antiquity. The committee
has secured a sword used by General
George Washington, and will probably
have a sword used in Cromwell's time,
for which a member of the executive
committee who has been particularly
active in the matter. wrote for early
in December. The committee will also
secure a valuable collection of coins
from New York city. Persons having
articles suitable for exhibition should
address members of the executive COM
mittee. The committee will pay ex-
press and other charges, and guarantee
safe return of any articles loaned.
1t is hoped by the committee to fix
an hour at which Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey may visit the exhibition. 1t
will open on February 10Th, and con-
tinue the entire week. 1t is the pur-
pose of the committee to make it the
most notable affair of it's kind since the
great sanitary fair during the civil war.

A COAL STAGE
ANTICIPATED AT PITTsBURG AS A
RESULT Or THE PRES
ENT RISE.
COAL WILL BE SENT SOUTH
ny Monday If ths River Is Cleared of
Ice by that Tine-Rain is Predict
ed for To<Day-General River In
teIIigence.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 13.-The
indications are that the three rivers
will not be entirely clear OF ice until
Monday and no. coal will be shipped
until that time. There IS a number OF
boats tied up down the river with tows
of empties, but 1t is thought they can
be got here In time to take advantage
of the good water. The conditions are
such on the rivers to-day that no one
ventured the opinion as to how much
water there would be. but the indica-
tons are there will be a stage Of Is
feet.
There Is much coal in the Mononga-
hela river waiting to be brought into
the harbor, but until the water recedes
in the Allegheny in order to free the
Monongahela river of ice, no coal can
be brought down. 1t is also announced
that barring further damage the big
lock at dam No. 2, on the Monongahela
river, will be in shape to enable the
locking Of coal.
The weather forecast Is for rain to-
morrow, and If the prediction is full
filled there ought to be good water all
of next week. There will be no rush
to get the coal out, for there is suffi-
Gent coal in the south to last for sew
eral weeks. The Ohio river is rising
at nearly all points, and 1t is very likely
that the boats tied up at the various
points along the lower Ohio river will
be able to resume their trips to New
Orleans in a few days.
When the ice runs out Of the Allie
gheny and Monongahela rivers. Capt.
John A. Wood will again attempt to
raise the sunken towboat Pacific, which
is lying bottom up in the Ohio river
near Davis Island dam.

The Leroy arrived at the wharf late
last evening after having a hard fight
through the ice from Clarington. She
left last night, taking out one OF the
largest freight consignments ever put
or the boat. Most Of 1t was billed
through to Matamoras, the end of her
run. The Virginia left Pittsburg at
noon yesterday and passed this point
early this morning. She did not lay
over until 8 O'Clock this morning as is
customary, as she will endeayor to get
ahead Of the heavy ice.
The ice passing yesterday was heav-
Ter than anticipated. 1t Is all out Of
the Allegheny and is as hard as flint.
At midnight the marks on the wharf

CHAPTERS MARCH MEETING.
faslet Flag Presented to the Daughters of
American Revolution.

This months meeting of the Col.
Haslet Chapter, d. A. R., Dover, was
probably one of the most pleasant of
the year. The ladies had just returned
from the d. A. r. Congress at Wash
ington, and so much of interest and
pleasure to the daughters was dis
cussed.
The old flag carried by the Haslet
Guards during the Civil War was pre-
sented and entrusted to the care of the
chapter by Capt. Pennington and the
men of the company and gratefully and
reverently received by the ladies of the
chapter. Patriotic papers of interest
were read. One written by the chap
ter historian entitled, "The Liberty
Bell" was highly interesting and
much appreciated.

Another 100000 mortgage, repre-
senting the last of the Maryland com
panies to be taken into the peninsula
consolidation of telephone systems,
was executed by President Harry A.
Richardson of the Diamond State
Company of Dover. The last transac-
tion was recorded last week at Easton.
when the big mortgage was made from
the Eastern Shore Telephone and Tel
egraph Company to w. H. Deweese,
trustee, and containing $40. so in reve-
nue. stamps. The mortgage was ex-
ecuted to secure that amount in bonds,
which the company will Immediately
issue. There will be two hundred
gold bonds of $500 each, bearing in

Why 1900 is Not a Leap Year.

Many are puzzled by the fact that,
although the old test ''divide by four
without a remainder" applies to the
present year, yet 1900 is not a leap year.
Julius Caesar is responsible for the var
iation. Finding that the solar "year''
occupied about 1861 days, he decided
that it would be better to add an en-
tire day to the year in every fourth re-
volution of the earth around the sun.
but as the quarter" day was approx
mate, being actually 5 hours and lit
tie less than 40 minutes, there would
be a gain in the course of a century of
nearly day. That being the case, he
furthered ordained that in order to
prevent the calendar year from getting
too far in advance of the solar an occa-
sional leap year should be skipped, >"
and it 1900's turn.

FARM LABOR is SCARCE.
The Farmers Roundabout MiddIetOwn are
Becoming Alarmed.

The farmers of New Castle county
met at Middletown Tuesday week, to
discuss the scarcity of farm labor.
Assertion was made that the scarcity
is caused by agents of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. hiring the laborers to
straighten the railroad tracks and I'M
prove other property of the company at
and near Mlddletown.
A committee composed of Merritt n.
Willetts and William r.. Cochran, was
appointed to call upon the railroad
officials and ask them to insist that
the agents hire city laborers only,
and not leave the farmers without any
help.
The agents of the railroad company
are offering higher wages than the
farmers pay; hence the scramble to
obtain employment on the railroad.
And owing to the near approach of
spring work, the farmers are becoming
somewhat alarmed.

EARLY RISE OF METHODIST.
The Denney Family in Connection With the
Methodist Movement in this Section.


The obituary reference to J. Wesley
Denney in the last issue of the TIMES,
so relative writes us, might hare had
more of the historical about the "Den-
ney farm" and the rise of Methodism
in the Colonial period. The writer
says he had heard his mother and
grandmother talk about those days re-
peatedly. The note says:
cit seems to me that you missed
chance of publishing the historical
incident of his family having repeat
edly entertained Bishop Asbury at the
old Wesley Denney farm in the colonial
period. l have heard Grandmother
Sipple and my mother talking over
those days repeatedly.
"Freeborn Garrettson's name was
used, but only for one visit. Bishop
Asbury being English, had at one time
during the Revolutionary War, to live
in hiding to avoid arrest; but take it,
it was during his preaching time, as
his preaching and conducting quarterly
meetings was the matter talked of.
81 am glad to know that his family
early went into the Methodist move
ment when it was no more than
movement, before it could administer
the Lords Supper, which had to wait
until the arrival of Bishop Coke. [
take it that grandmother early life
covered quite number of those years
rounding out the eighteenth century.
All that neighborhoOd about Farrow's
Meeting House, now Bethel church is
historic grounds. "
The MIS-. Sipple above referred to,
was the mother of J. Wesley Denneys
father, having married after the death
of her first husband, Rev. Thomas
Sipple, a local preacher and mighty
man of prayer. There was only one
child by this union, the mother of Jos.
T. Hoffecker, now residing in Dover.

Signs of the Times.

The ethical signs of the times are
peculiar. Broadly they indicate the
attainment of higher moral level
than at any previous period of the
worlds history. Moral forces were
never more active, never more in evil
dence. This is true of every depart
ment of society. In business, the
enormous volume of it is proof not
only of greater capacity, but of greater
honesty. The capacity for conceiving,
directing and controlling the enormous
enterprises of these tim es carries with
it, as a necessity.
