THOSE GILMAN MILLIONS.
They Are Still Surrounded With
Much Doubt

Bridgeport, Conn, March 30.-It has been
learned that the Bridgeport Trust COM
pany. administrator of the estate OF
George F. Gilman, is practically at a
standstin in its efforts to settle the estate
on account OF the apparent impossibility
of finding any tangible assets aside from
the mansion in Black Rock and its con-
tents.
Edward S. Percival the applicant for
the position of administrator, and who,
since the death of Mr.. Gilman. with Mrs.
Potts, Frank Potts and Miss Clayton, tho
hancee of Frank Potts. has been keeping
left here tonight for New York. Mr.. Per-
civa1, it is learned. before his departure
had no relations with the administrators
which will lead to the discovery of the
were IN existence in Black Rock. and the
search of the premises has revealed nOth>
ing It is expected that Mrs Potts. her
son and Miss Clayton will Join Mrs Helen
Hall in New York soon.
Orange Merwin, one of the directors OF
the trust company, announced that the
search had failed to reveal a single docu-
ment OF any description. Mr. Merwin de-
clined to make any statement regarding
the significance of this result of the
search. In addition to looking for docu-
an inventory of the property in the man
sion for the benefit of the appraisers, who
are yet to be appointed
A woman who has been employed at the
ity for the statement that not long ago
Mrs. Helen Hall had a quarrel with Mr..
Gilman. and about week before his
death thought of leaving the house. but
decided to remain lest she should seem to
him guilty Of ingratitude. Mrs. Hall lived
in the Gilman home three years, and it
has been supposed heretofore that their
relations always were of the friendliesr
nature.

SUFFERERS FROM PILES AND
RECTAL DISEASES
Have Now q Simple But Effective
Cure.

Cure.
Modern medical science and skill has
at last succeeded in producing a remedy
which effectually cures that common,
but extremely annoying trouble, piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the remedy
referred to, and repeated and thorough
trials of the remedy during the past
three years have demonstrated that it is
the long sought for remedy which can
be depended upon as a genuine cure.
There are many remedies which give
relief, but such relief is only temporary
and the trouble soon returns, as bad, or
worse than ever. But the Pyramid Pile
Cure stands practically alone as a last
ing cure. It not only gives immediate
relief but the relief is there to stay
Mr. J. w. Rollins writes briefly and to
the point regarding his experience with
piles; he says: I consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal 1t cured me
in less than thirty days waited fifteen
DAYS or more to be sure the remedy had
fully cured me before writing you. I
can now say am cured and shall
recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at
every possible opportunity because it de-
serves it,
we quote from this gentleman's let
ter to show our readers how promptly
the remedy acts and also that there is no
return of the trouble
The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and
harmless, containing purely vegetable
ingredients and can be used in all cases
with perfect safety and with the assIIr-
ance that cure will follow Physicians
prescribe 1t and use it in all cases OF
piles in preference to the danger and un-
certainty Of q surgical operation. 1t
cures without pain or inconvenience of
any kind.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere
at SC per package, making it the safest
surest, cheapest pile cure before the pub
lie and one you can try with almost GER
tain success.

BLAMED THE GOSSIPS.
New Jersey Preacher Told His Con-
gregation Plain Truths.

New Brunswick, N J., March 30
When the Rev ]. c. Bird resigned. the
pastorate of the Old Bridge Baptist
church a few weeks ago, to take effect
| this week, his congregation was sur
prised, and many were the queries asked
of the pastor When DR.. Bird preached
his farewell sermon he answered all
queries in such a way that when he got
through everybody knew why ne was
leaving. He gave his congregation
something of a roast" and Old Bridge
feels warm yet when it thinks Of the
plain statements and thinly disguised
satire of the minister
DR. Birds text from Acts was: Where
fore I take you to record this day that /
am pure of the blood of all men, For
have not Stunned to declare unto you
all the counsel of Cod
He explained the text referred to the
prosecutions which St Paul had endured
at Ephesus and of the criticisms that
had been heaped upon him by those
whom he sought to benefit He declared
every minister had his Ephesus, and
that, while few may measure up to the
standard of St Paul, all have to suffer.
Men are quick to see the shortcom-
ings of minister, to criticiSe to tear
down. he exclaimed, but few see, and
seeing praise, the good work a minister
of the Gospel endeaVOrs to do. may not
come UP to ST. Paul's standard, but 1
have initiated him in trying to do my
best"
FOLLOWING out the 1Qea ne gave MS
hearers to understand that his efforts
had met with the same results as those
of St Paul That bombshen discharged,
the minister followed it with another It
was in reference to the freedom with
which the gossips Of Old Bridge handled
the name of Mrs. Bird. He said:
Before I close want to correct an
impression that has gone abroad in JUS
tice to myself and my wife-that is that
my wife is responsible for my leaving.
Now, think I have been with you long
enough for you to find out / have
mind of my own, and if 1 had decided it
was best for me to remain in Old Bridge
nothing could alter my determination.
Don't cast it on a woman. / can stand
sponsor for anything I do"
Then DR.. Bird took another shot at
the gossips of the congregation when
my successor comes to you" he said let
him find out things about you for him
self. Let there be no tattling or back
biting among you"
The sermon caused a decided sensation.
DR.. Birds references to his wife are most
commented upon. For some time past
the village gossips have had it that Mr.
and Mrs. Bird were not happy. She is
his senior. They were married after he
came to Old Bridge. During the past
anonymous letters. They have distressed
her greatly, but neither she nor her hus-
band would ever disclose their contents. !
1t is said these have had much to do !
with his determination to leave the viii |
lage.
DR. Bird refuses to discuss his sermon.
He is a young man, a graduate of CrOZ- /
Ter Seminary. He has received no other |
call ard says he has no definite plans.

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies
Did You Ever Try This One.

Everybody you meet on the streets
nowadays either has just had the grip,
is coming down with 1t or has a sure
cure for it.
The disease has been a puzzle to ply
sicians ever since its appearance several
years ago and it is as much OF puzzle
today it was then 1t exhibits such
a variety of symptoms in different in
dividuals and leaves such disastrous re-
suits after apparent recovery, that as
yet its prevention and cure has baf1ed
medical science.
However there Is no doubt but that
the grip is catarrhal in character and
the leading symptoms in nearly every
case Is increased secretions in the head
and throat, in fact the first indications
of la grippe are those Of cold in the
head which extends to the throat and
lungs.
DR.. johnson Ames advises as the safest
course to pursue on the first appearance
of grip symptoms to keep to the house
for a day or two and take Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets every hour the first day
and every two hours the following day
and states that this viii break up the
trouble before it becomes deep seated
These catarrh tablets are antiseptic
and harmless and prevent fever and the
further development OF grip germs, and
ward off the ever present danger of
pneumonia.
Dr. Gerald Simpson says: It have
found Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a pleas
ant and thoroughly reliable remedy for
the grip, especially with elderly people
with whom this prevailing disease is al
ways dangerous the tablets can be found
at any drug store and Ii used freely dur
ing the first few days Of the attack will
break it up.
La grippe is a catarrhal affection. the
germs are in the air and no one is proof
Catarrh Tablets will prevent any ser
4ous results.

GIRLS lin BLOOMERS.
Refused to Play Basket Ball Until
Boys Left Hall

Baltimore. Nd. March Solicitations
between the male and female students
of the State Normal school are strained,
owing to the summary expulsion of the
young men from a game of basket ball
between the middle and junior girl teams
in the gymnasium today.
The Ousting of the boys was due to the
refusal Of one young lady to appear be-
fore the young men in bloOmer costume.
The indignation of the young men is
intensified by the fact that they went to
witness the game upon the invitation o.
Miss Callahan and Miss Henderson, the
captains Of the opposing teams. The in
vitation was approved by Principal
Prettyman- Nothing could induce one
girl to enter the gymnasium in short
skirts Finally Miss S. E. Richmond
the vice principal Of the school, came
and ordered the students away.

OPINIONS DIFFER
REGARDING CROP,
Cotton is Badly Injured But Little
Killed.
FEW FARMERS WILL REpLANT
Concensus of Opinion is That While
Considerable Injury Was Done the
Young Plant It Will Recover
Fruit Was Not Badly Hurt.

There is some difference of, opinion
relative to the extent of injury to cot
ton crop here by the recent cold
weather and clustering winds. Some
farmers think irreparable injury has
been done the crop, while Others think
the plant will recover.

disagree" as it were.

and most successful farmers in Sum.

terday that he had begun blowing up
1000 acres of cotton,
Lie has 1900 acres in cotton, and of
this perhaps 1000 acres was up and
growing. He Is confident that the
stand has been ruined, and yester-
day ordered it all plowed up and re-
planted. The remaining 800 acres, he
said, was not up vet.
The cost of replanting this large area
will be considerable.
Mr.. We ID. Statham, also a large
planter, thought Sunday that his crop
was killed. Yesterday he examined it
again and is now hopeful that it will
recover,
Capt, Samuel McGarrah, local au-
thoritY upon cotton and crops, does
not think the young cottonSdamaged
beyond recovery. He examined sew
eral fields yesterday, and while the
young plants are undoubtedly injured
he thinks they will soon revive.

cotton enough remains to insure O crop.
