The display being given by the National
Telephone Company has had the effect
of awakening much interest In that all
absorbing topic, and every day crowds of
visitors call to inspect the instruments
and service of the new company.
The phones are very neat and dainty
in appearance, as the unsightly battery
box attachment is missing: the phones
being all long distance. operated on what
IS known as the central energy system
in which all power is supplied from gener-
ators and storage batteries located In the
exchange building. This system greatly
cheapens cost of operation and mainte-
nance and gives an increased power of
transmission, as it does away Will the
expense and bother of batteries becoming
weak. Interesting tests of the talking
qualities of the new phones are given by
the gentlemen in charge of the exhibit,
and then show that there has been a
wonderful improvement in telephone APP
paratus as conn arsd with ea ipment OF
the old type.
The instruments are so sensitive that
it is not necessary to raise the voice above
a whisper when talking. This ticking of a
watch sounds like blows of a hammer, and

At the Regular Meeting of Council

VIII Probably Not Interfere.
Members of Council will be served
with notices to-day Of the meeting of
Council to be held tonight. That there
will be a quorum in both branches is
looked upon as a certainty. There does
not appear to be much doubt that the
bonds of the newly elected officers
will be approved, without opposition
from the majority in the First Branch.
The belief prevails that Councilmen
realize that it is useless to try to pre-
vent the approval of the bonds, as the
sureties are good as gold, and the APP
prevail can be forced by the Demo
Gratis.
Councilmen realize that refusal to
approve the bonds is not the proper
way to settle titles to the offices. This
view will be taken by their own coun-
sci. It comes from an authoritative
source, that if the First Branch refuse
to confirm, the newly elected officers
will make a formal demand upon the
present incumbents to surrender their
Offices. If met with refusal, the courts
will at once be appealed to.

THE PATROL WAGON CALLED.
Mild Excitement at a Leading Church
Yesterday Afternoon,


There was a mild degree of excite
ment at the lecture room of a certain
very prominent church yesterday after
noon, and the episode eliminated in
what is probably the only instance in
local records where the services of the
police were called upon at a place of
worship.
One of the church societies was in
session at a special meeting, about
2:30 O'Clock, when an individual very
much how-came-ye-so and very desir-
Gus of a place for rest and meditation
appeared at the lecture room door.
He thought he saw an opportunity for
recreation and repose, and staggered
in. Then ensued a stampede. A major
ity of the ladies fed and the remainder
demonstrated. For reply the inebriate
assumed a recumbent attitude and pro-
ceeded to go to sleep.
A call was sent to the City Hall.
and presently the familiar white horses
dragging the patrol wagon appeared
on the scene, the stranger was lifted
into the vehicle and spread out on the
bottom, and there was a quick tran
sition to police headquarters, where
he was locked up. The chances are
that this morning he will gravely in
form His Honor the Mayor that he has

In spite Of the fact that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure is so well known as a

Hundreds of thorough trials IN
the hands of physicians and pa

however, that surgical operations
for piles are unnecessary, cruel,
many times dangerous to life, and
a relic of baTbarism. The Pyramid
Pile Cure will ure any form of
piles effectually and without j par
ticle of pain or inconvenience, at
slight expense and no danger what
ever, as it is perfectly harmless.
The way it affects patients who use

druggist here about it, and he has
ordered some. This remedy is a
great thing for piles.
From Mrs C. G. Spillman, Hunts

sent my husband some of your

so much good that / want to write
to tell you and tell you about it
as he suffered very much and moth

he tried the Pyramid.
From J.. D. Roberts, Mt. Moriah.
Mo-: Il have used the Pyramid
Pile Cure and results have been
entirely satisfactory. There can
be no question but that it is a GER

1t is so cheap as to be within

probable that the Democratic candidates

The principal changes which the conven-

SUIT FOR 100000.
Millionaire Charged with InstiGating q
Destruction of a Mine.

DENVER, Col, April 23.-Trial of the suit
owner. for 100000 damages, I'm consequence
OF the blowing UP of the shaft house on
the Strong mine at Victor, Col, began here
to-day before Judge Palmer in the District
Court. The suit is brought by William
Lennox, Edward w. Giddings and Z. A.
Colburn. OF Colorado Springs, all we'll
known capitalists, y. b. Scott, of Wheel
ing. w. Va, and Mrs. bell Kearney. of
New Mexico. They held IA bond and lease
on the Strong mine and were operating the
property. having put upon it an expensive
equipment.
On May Is. 1884,. an explosion occurred in
the mine, followed by fire. which destroyed
the workings, the shaft house and ma
chinery. Strong's responsibility is based
OH the allegation by the plaintiffs that the
mine was blown up at his instigation. They
claim that Strong was dissatisfied with the
lease and desired TO obstruct the lessees
in their operation of the rich property.
At the time of the explosion the miners I'm
the Cripple Creek district were on strike.
Two strikers-Nicholas Tully and Robert
Lyons-were accused of having caused the
explosion. and were found guilty and have
served sentences for the crime. John T..
Allen, a miner, has made deposition. on
which the present suit is based to the ef-
feet that Strong paid him sl.oo0 TO blow up

PROMISE MADE BY CHINESE.
Foreigners VIII BE Protected If AL
lied Troops Withdraw.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-It is under
stood here that the Chinese plenipotentiar-
les at Peking. Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang, are prepared to give a guarantee
to the powers for the protection of all for
eigners in China, if the foreign troops now
stationed there are withdrawn. Thus far
the retention of the foreign forces has been
urged as necessary in order to preserve
order and protect foreigners, but the Chi
nese authorities say that order has been
so far so re-established the imperial gov
ernment is fully able to direct the Chinese
troops in such way as to secure complete
safety to the interests of all foreigners.
This is understood TO be the basis of the
withdrawal of 10000 French troops, and 1t
is earnestly hoped among Chinese officials
that this will be followed by a similar
movement on the part of the other foreign
forces in China.
1t Is said at the State Department that
no doubt, without intention, the Peking
dispatches representing the United States
as Joining in the demands for more heads
and more punishment in China do not
correctly portray the position of this gov
ernment AS a matter of fact Mr.. Rock
hill, our special commissioners at Peking,
is acting under broad instructions from
the State Department to do all within his
mower TO restain the unnecessary shedding

The incoming mail from China has
brought 10 the State Department more cop
los of the protocols of the Ministerial Coun-
oil at Peking, up to a date about six weeks

adopted the safe course of reducing all OF
