rlca' letter was received at the Ma
tional museum in Washington from
man in New England. who said that for
many years he was stationed as
trader in the region named. He de-
clared that the okapi were exceedingly
common. His knowledge of zoology
was then very limited, and as a, result,
he had labored under the impression
that the okapi was known to science.
The announcement of Sir Harry's dis.
covery was the first intimation of the
scientific Importance of this animal
This much of the letter is all we'll

Rivers and Harbors Committee Inspects the JettieS and
 the Channel

Galveston, Texas, June S.-The thirteen Congressmen headed by Chairman Bur ton, who were members of the rivers and harbors committee in the Fifty-sixth Congress, today made thorough exam nation of the Galveston jetties and the inner harbor. They also drove along the gulf side of the island and saw the de- vastation wrought by the September storm. Galveston is asking for three things that come under the provisions of the river and harbor bill:
 First, the repair of the jetties, which have sunk to the clay foundation and need re-capping; second, the widening to 120O feet, and the deepening to 30 feet of the inner harbor channel, which is no longer adequate to accommodate the larger class of vessels which have come here since the advent of deep water; third a survey for a breakwater on the gulf side and unlimited provision for such breakwater after the engineers decide on the most feasible plan for protecting the commerce of the port.
 At the time the river and harbor bill was under discussion last winter, Chair man Burton did not favor the improve ynent of the inner harbor channel on the ground, he claimed that the property of one, corporation, the Galveston Wharf

 the Disease.

There are lots of lotons, oils, and salves that will, through their soothing influence, relieve temporarily the pain incident to piles. But Is that all the sufferer requires7 Isn't 1t a horrible thought to realize that the ease is only temporary and the dis ease goes on under the surface without a moments Interruption? Wouldn't 1t be wiser to select a remedy that seeks the source and regulates those deep-seated disorders which induces the disease? Pyramid Pile Cure not only relieves the pain at once, but effects permanent cure of the worst form of piles. You don't have to go through a tedious course of dieting while using it either. It strikes through those delicate membranes and tissues and sets the blood in healthful circulation. reducing at once the painful inflammation and congested tumors. This remedy is not a haphazard combination of drugs but Is a remedy invented hy specialists who have treated piles and blood disorders successfully for years Manufactured by the Pyramid Drug Com pany at Marshall, Mich. Almost any first class druggist has it on sale. Don't treat this disease with every lotion and salve that comes along. Remember the parts affected are among the most delicate in the human body. This remedy is abso- lutely safe and no one need fear to apply 1t freely on the most unframed parts. The speed with which it allays the pain is an agreeable surprise te the sufferer.

Division of School Fund.

From the Florence Herald.
 It has been suggested that the school fund in Alabama be divided between the white and black races according to the money paid by each. We believe this to be unwise and would be condemned by other states and would cause endless trouble and confusion and infiame race hatred. It would be a step backward in slowing the race issue. The white mans burden is the care and development of the black race. It is christian duty that we. the friends of the black race, must meet unfiinchingly and solve. Educa- tion is the only solution of the case and no unjust discrimination should be shown
