Madame Modieska will be in Savannah
to-day for the first time in several years.
She will give a matinee performance of

of King John" Modjeska is supported
on her present tour by r. d. Mclean
and Odette Tyler both known to Sa-
vannah theater-goers. The tour is under
the management of Wagenfels & Kemper.
With an actress of such reputation as
Modjeska, and with a supporting COM
pany composed of such players as those
supporting her, little need to be said in
the way of commentator. The sale of
seats, both for the matinee and the night
performance, is large, and a~guarantee
of a warm reception of the company.

Against f. C. & p.
In the Circuit Court of the United
States yesterday morning mistrial was
declared in the case of Mary Sturtevant
against the Florida Central and PENN
suIar Railroad Company. The mistrial
was granted upon the motion of counsel
for the defendant, upon the filing by the
peintiffs counsel of an amendment to her
petition.
The amendment set forth that at the
time of the accident at Everett City,
which caused the death of the plaintiffs

of the train to which he was at the time
attached had been so exhausted by con-
tlnuous and laborious service that they
We're untitled for the performance of the
duties assigned to them by their SUI
periors. This was designed to show ad
ditional negligence on the part of the
company and was induced by the evil
oence of certain of the witnesses during
the trial.
Mr. Adams, of counsel for the defend
ant, stated in his place that he and the
other counsel were surprised by the fill
ing of such an amendment and desired
'ime in which to secure evidence to meet
and rebut it's allegations of fact. He
therefore moved the court to declare a
mistrial, and on this motion the foreman
of the jury was withdrawn and a mis-
trial declared
The case was then marked continued

THE BEST TEST
Is the Service and Experience of
Years.

Is the Service and Experience of
Years.
The best soldier is not the new recruit
OF a few months service.
The best mechanic is not the appren-
tlce, and the best man In the line is he
who has been tried by years of service
and experience.
This is not only true of men but of
nearly everything else and especially is
it true of medicines for disease. New
remedies must be thoroughly tested and
their merit established beyond question
before the intelligent public will put
faith In them.
There are not many remedies which
have stood the test of ten years and
continued TO increase in popularity each
year. but this is true of the Pyramid
Pie, Cure. and IL is the only pile cure
that has stood this test and among the
many popular medicines on the market
II is the only one which can be said to
have no competitor; its sale has steadily
increased from year to year and this
result has been not so much because of
Judicious advertising as because it has
been C mmended by word Of mouth from
one cured sufferer to another.
Piles is supposed to be caused i'm most
cases by a sedentary life and lack of
any apparent excuse and often peoole
who live an active outdoor life are VIC
tins of the disease, a case i'm point is
that Of James Creeden, a lumberman and
teamster in Northern Michigan. He says:
Il suffered for eight or nine years from
itching and protruding piles sometimes
