To Inc Public.

The Canebralle Journal presumably
so named from its rustic methods in
iournalism) recently announced that
we We're about to lose our organist and
choir-master but he seems to be with
us still. The Journal always makes a
specially of religious news.-The
Bow in the Cloud.
Inasmuch as the Journal published Il
statement to the effect that Mr.. New
man II. AthOe had been elected or
eanis, and choirmaster of the
Cathedral at Springfield and was
manning to enter upon his new du-
ties about the middle of May, we pre-
sumo il is the publication referred 70
in the above dignified item. 1t may be
sufficient to say that our authority Tor
that statement was Mr.. Athoc himself.
The Journal does not make a special
tv" of religious news. but 1t mas al
ways endeavored to treat the religious
interests of this city with fairness and
courtesy.

the raising of fund for band con-
ccrts the coming summer is under

there is any special reason why one
particular organization should be given

Cadet band is all right ana credit TO
the city-but there are others. We
have also the Olympian and the Lafay-
cite bands. one with 20 and the other
with 90 pieces. Both are playing good

to give each of them Il chance to be

a Remedy for the Cure of Piles Which
has Met With Remarkable Success.
There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in America
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics
headache powders, dyspepsia cures and
cough cures which are sold in every drug
store.
But all of these must divide popularity
with many rivals, no one remedy has the
field to itself. with the single exception
oil pile cures for it is a singular fact
that among the most of remedies, there
is but one pile cure that can be considered
as having national reputation, without
rival and the remedy referred to is the
pyramid Pile Cure, which for seven years
has steadily worked into public favor, by
reason of its extraordinary merit and a
method and record of remarkable cures,
until it is known from Maine to California
and from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico
1t is true there &,e many pile remedies
havin9A small local reputation for year
of two, but the Pyramid Pile Cure has
rapidly supDlanted them all and really
has the field to itself when anything
like national popularity is considered.
piles is in no sense an imaginary trouble.
that simple salve or ointment will cure
but an obstinate, painful and often dan
gerous trouble and remedy to give sat
isfaction must possess positive and very
apparent merit. A person suffering from
piles will not experiment for months
with a remedy; it must give relief and
cure in short order or it is condemned.
The worst cases of piles are relieved on
the first application, and being in SUPPOSE
tory form is convenient with daily occu-
patton.
Medical men use it in preference to sur
gical operations because it is a safe and
painless, and the cost, compared to bene-
fit given is mere trif1e as all druggists
sell It at so cents.
If suffering from any form of piles,
bleeding, itching or protruding trial of
the Pyramid Pile Cure, will cure you and
add another to its thousands of friends.

IN FAVOR OF ANNEXATION
CUBAN TOBACCO GROWERS DON'T
WANT FREEDOM
Resolve That, if Tobacco Duties Are
Not Reduced, Cuba Should Ask
to Become Part of the
United States

HAVANA, Aug. THE Union Of
Tobacco Growers was asked recently
by the Merchants union to express
an opinion on the duty levied in the
United States against tobacco. The
reply was that the duty on cigars
should be reduced to $3.50 per hundred,
irrespective of value, and the duties on
filters and wrappers should be reduced
20 and 25 per cent, respectively, per
pound. A long preamble declares that
Cuba, if she does not obtain concessions
to which she has a perfect right in view
of the fact that she is under the econom-
ic as well as the political protection Of
the United States, should ask for annexa-
tion.
"This the United States would grant"
the preamble goes on to say, "as it
would be in conformity with the desire
Of a majority of the American people.
Thus the successful opposition of the
sugar and tobacco interests of the Unit
ed States to granting concessions to
Cuba would only result in the ruin Of
these interests, since with annexation
Cuba would have free trade, and this
would mean the overthrow Of the sugar
and tobacco industries in the states"
At today's meeting Of the constitution
al convention Senior C1sneros presented
his resolution that Senior Giberga be
called upon to explain what he meant
in his recent declaration that Martf was
the evil genius of Cuba or to withdraw
from the convention.
The convention adopted a modification
of the resolution, expressing sympathy
with the attitude of Senior Cisneros. and
disapproving the conduct Of Giberga, but
at the same time asserting that it had
no power to go further in the matter.
