PARIS, June A determined effort is
being made to resuscitate the Panama
Canal scheme as 4 purely French enter
prise The frs, means taken for this is
rather curious. One of the few men who
preserved their reputation in the first
Panama venture was NJ PHILIPPE BunaU-
VarilIa, one of the chief engineers and
directors, who now takes the first steps
for this resuscitation- He has taken the
extraordinary means Of publishing man
ifesto in the newspapers and paying for
it as an advertisement.
In this manifesto NJ. VarilIa recalls the
visit made by him to the United States
in the spring Of 81, during the course Of
which he delivered a series of lectures Of
a practical and scientific nature on the
Paanma Canal at Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Princeton.
New York, and Washington. NJ. VariIIa
terminated his campaign IN the United
States by a visit to the President, to
whom he presented copy e the text Of
his lectures, with numerous additional
notes in the form Of practical sugges-
tons, and finally issued an edition Of 10
90 copies of the same for distribution
throughout the country NJ NariIla goes
on to say that since that time the situa-
ton has cleared considerably, and that
today, even If It were possible to accom-
plish the building of the Nicaragua Ca
nal, a fact he believes TO be extremely
doubtful, it would not be a reason for
abandoning the Panama route.

A pile Cure That Goes 10 the Root
of the Disease.

There are lots of lotions, oils, and saIves
that will, through their soothing influ-
euCe relieve temporarily the pain Incident
TO piles. But is that all the sufferer re
quires2 Isn't 1t a horrible thought TO
realize that the ease is only temporary
and the disease goes on under the sur
face without moments interruptions
Wouldn't it be wiser to select remedy
that seeks the source and regulates those
deep-seated disorders which induce the
disease2 Pyramid Pile Cure not only re-
Iieves the pain at once, but effects
perua cure Of the worst form Of
piles You don't have to go through a
tedious course of dieting while using it
either. 1t strikes through those delicate
membranes and tissues and sets the
blood in heaIthful circulation, reducing
at once the painful Inflammation and
CoEgested tum0rs, This remedy is not
4 haphazard combination OF drugs but is
a remedy invented by specialists who
have treated piles and blood disorders
successfully for years. Manufactured by
the Pyramid Drug Company at Marshall

with every lotion and salve that comes
along Remember the parts affected are
among the most delicate in the human
body. This remedy is absolutely safe ana
no one need fear to apply it freely On the
most inhamed parts The speed with
which 1t allays the pain is an agreeable
surprise to the sufferer.

Early last Friday morning, Levi
Brown of this city, started on a gun
ming trip to his farm i'll West Amwell
township, formerly owned by the late
John udy. He put up his horse at the
farm barn, told his farmer, Mr.. Me
Peck, that he would be back for dinner,
and started out alone about ten o'clock,
after rabbits and other game.
He did not come back for dinner, and
late in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs.
McPeck became alarmed about him.
Search was made until long after dark
and he could not be found Word was
brought to this city and his friends be-
came greatly alarmed, fearing he might
have shot himself accidentally.
Early the next morning two wagon
loads of men went in search of him.
His body was found about one hundred
yards from the barn, in a corn field.
lie lay ON his face with his loaded gun
IN his hands. He had suddenly fallen
dead, it is supposed from heart trouble.
He undoubtedly died within five min
utes after leaving the farm house. The
searchers of the night previous had
been within a very few feet of the body,
but the foggy weather had prevented
them from seeing ii. The coroner did
not deem an inquest necessary.
Mr. Brown came TO this city from
Bucks county when a young man.
Many years ago he and his brother
took charge of the store on Main street
above Coryell, which they conducted
for several years. He was successful
business man and won the regard of
every one by his uprightness of char
acter and kindness of heart.
He took Il deep interest in public
questions and was always on the side
of good morals and of the best interests
of the people.
lie had held several offices of public
trust, including member of common
council, city treasurer, city superin-
tendent of public schools, etc. In all
these he was remarkably efficient.
For three or four years past he has
been the Secretary of the Centennial
building and Loan Association aud in
this capacity it will be hard to replace
him.
lie Was for some years deacon of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city, aud more recently ruling elder
In this as in all other positions, he
served with fidelity and efficiency.
MIR. Brown will be missed in this
community. His death is great loss.
Men of his character and ability are
greatly needed.
His funeral took place at his resi-
dence ON York street, on Tuesday after
noon, Rev. Mr.. MacKubbin officiating.
