MATTER FOR CIVIL COURTS.
Judge Burpee Refused to Consider I
 Boundary Line Case.

T - "
 Boundary Line Case.
 The case against John Crane of George street for injury to private property was practically thrown out of the city court this morning by Judge Burpee, as it seemed to him a case for the civil instead of the crinI- inal courts. The question involved is boundary line, the most prolific of all causes of difficulty between neigh bors. Mrs Mary Conroy, the con- plainant in the case, testified that for twenty years fence has divided her property from MT Cranes, notwith- standing that he has claimed q portion of the land upon which it stands. At this point Judge Burpee said that if the cause of the difficulty was boun- dary line lie would not try it in his court as it was essentially matter for civil court Thereupon Prose- cutor Durant produced a rough sketch of the scene of the trouble, claiming at the same time that MT Crane was tech nically guilty of injury to private property inaSmuch as that q week ago last Wednesday he cut down portion of the dividing fence and not only re fused to put it up again, but defied Mrs Conroy to do so, claiming that he owned the ground upon which it stood. Judge Burpee refused to hear any more of the particulars of the case, saying that it was strictly q matter for the civil courts and he did not propose to have his court vehicle for the set clement of civil matters. If the com- p1ainant desired satisfaction she could sue for damages. The case was ac- cordingly adjourned for thirty days. Attorney Gillette appeared for MT Crane.

Living Stone. of tho South Sen

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees a number of what appear to be
weather. beaten, moss-covered boulders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is an
chored to the ground by roots of great
strength. These are not boulders;
they are trees! No other place in the
world can show such popularity of
forest" growth. The Falkland Islands
are exposed to strong Polar wind
which renders it impossible for trees
to grow in the proper form; nature
has consequently adapted herself to
the prevailing conditions and produced
this strange form of plant life. These
living stones," as they are called, are
quite devoid of grain" and 1t is next
to impossible to cut them up and util-
ize them for fuel.

.symoGrby and Business.

eresident Kruger is not aware OF
the fact that sympathy must not be
allowed to spoil a good trade. He has
heard about American sympathy for
the Beers. Evidently he does not take
much stock in it. The message which
he has sent by the pastor of Boer
church in Pretoria, who is now in this
country asking aid for the women and
!. children in foreign prison camps Is:
k"Tell the American people they are
helping to murder us by sending mules
land horses to the British generals"
Americans have sold several million
. dollars worth of these animals to
NBritish purchasing agents. and to a
tertain extent have contributed to the
subjugation of the Beers. Without
these animals the British would not
have made the headway they have.
Nevertheless, it is safe to say that in
nearly every instance the men who
raised and sold these mules and horses
sympathize with the Beers. but they
did not let their sympathies interfere
with the sale of their live stock, nor
are they supposed to know for whom
they are purchased. For all that they
are aware they may be for the Beers.
President Kruger's message was not
a tactful one. He would make poor
solicitor for contributions. But the
need OF the women and children in the
prison camps Of the Transvaal is great,
and President Kruger's ungracious re-
marks should not deter Americans
from giving for the relief of these suf-

CrotOded tOif6 Work.

1t is said by a good authority that
the American shipyards, where steel
vessels are built, have orders which
will keep all of them busy for the next
twelvemonth, and some of them for a
longer time. This applies to the yards
on the great lakes as well as to those
on the seaboard. Some of the vessels
under construction are battleships or
cruisers for the American navy. 9th
ers are to be used in the coasting
trade. few are to be employed in

built for the Atlantic transport line
Two steamers of about the same di-
mensions as the immense Celtic o, the
White Star line are being built to ply
on the Pacific in connection with the
Great Northern railway. Two large
vessels for the Pacific Mail Steamship
company are nearly finished.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Them So
They Stay Cured.

At least one-fourth Of all mankind are
afflicted to a greater or less degree with
piles.
Very often the disease is Of irregular
recurrence. Maybe the trouble comes only
once or twice a year. Even so, it units
man for bushes while it lasts. Seems
ike a little thing, but it produces more
bad feelings than even serious sickness
would. In severe cases there is no com
fort attainable. Various saIves and ONT
ments afford temporary relief, but in a
few minutes the pain returns. Each at
tack IS a little bit worse than the last
one. itching is followed by bleeding and
protrusion Fistula follows = surgical
treatment-death possibly. And all this
can be avoided.
The discovery Of Pyramid Pile Cure has
made suffering unnecessary, even foolish.
BY its use relief is instantaneous. It
soothes the infamed parts, heals the
broken membranes. reduces the swelling
and brings comfort at once.
The cure is permanent and the trouble
viii not return unless new conditions
arise which produce an entirely new case.
This, of course, cannot be helped, but if
you viii use Pyramid Pile Cure immed-
lately on the appearance Of the first
symptom, the trouble win vanish.
Druggists sell and recommend Pyramid

not have it, in which case you can get it

IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
Using catarrh Medicines.

Using Catarrh Medicines.
Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton and the Importance Of early and
/ judicious treatment Of catarrh, whether
located in the head. throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list Of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered, numerous and con
fusing, from sprays inhalers, washes,
ointments. and salves to powders, liquids
and tablets
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it
is almost entirely a matter of guess
work as to what you are taking into
your system, as the proprietors, while
making all sorts of claims as to what
their medicines viii do. always keep it a
close secret as to what they are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, is
largely because it not only cures catarrh
but because catarrh sufferers who use
these tablets know what they are taking
into their systems. Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets being composed of Eucolyptol, Hy-
drastin, Guaicol and similar valuable and
antiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant
to the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect upon
the mucous lining Of the throat, nasal
passages and whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
Of catarrh are little short of remarkable,
and the advantage Of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
Of using secret catarrh remedies.
StuaTt's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians, because
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them
a common sense cure for all forms of
catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages.
