was adopted:
";rhe death of Commissioner Mark
Spencer Brewer occurred on Monday,
March 49, 1901 he having served as a
member of this Commission since Janu-
ary 10, 1898. 1t is with a profound sense
of grief in the affliction thus sustained
by the office that this record is entered
in it's official minutes
After admission to the legal profess
sion In Michigan, he filled with excep-
tionaI honor to himself and those whom
| he served many public positions or re-
sponsbility and prominence, being sue
| cessively selected Court Commissioner,
| City Attorney. State Senator, Representa-
| tive in Congress. and United States Con-
| sui General at Berlin, those who knew
him best thus repeatedly manifesting
| their confidence in his marked ability and
| integrity.
His work with this Commission was
| characterized by the same sterling quail
! ties which had distinguished him else
where, conspicuous among which were his
| intense zeal and devotion TO duty, his per-
| feet frankness, his absolute impartiality
| I'm considering all questions that came be-
| fore him, his unfailing courtesy, eXhib-
| tied in his desire to give consideration TO
/ the views of those who differed with him,
| and his loyalty and tenaety for what he
believed was right and just. His legally
| trained mind and sound, conservative
| judgment were of the greatest value to
| his associates In the administration of the
| civil service law and rules. His work as
! a Civil Service Commissioner has been of
| distinct practical benefit in advancing the
! principles Of the merit system.
! His rare personality, so full of kind
! liness and consideration for others, com
PEELED the esteem and affection Of all as
! sociated with him. It is good for his fell
| low-men that he lived. All the members
| of the Commissions force feel a personal
| loss in his death, and extend to Mrs
| brewer assurance of their most tender
| sympathy in her bereavement.
| An engrossed copy OF the minutes will
be presented to Mrs. Brewer.

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

Modern medical science and skill have
at last succeeded in producing a remedy
which effectualy 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 II Is the
long sought for remedy which can be de-
pended upon as 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 lasting cure.
II 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: Il 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. ! can
now say / am cured and / shall recon-
mend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because it de-
serves it
we quote from this gentleman's letter
TO show cur readers how promptly the
/ remedy acts and also that there Is no re-
/ turn Of the trouble.
/ The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and
harmless, containing purely vegetable in
gradients, and can be used in all cases
/ with perfect safety and with the assur-
! ance that a cure will follow. Physicians
( prescribe ii and use it in all cases of
/ piles in preference to the danger and un-
/ certainty Of a surgical operation. II cures
I without pain or Inconvenience OF any
kind.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co, of Marshall, Mich.
1 and sold by druggists everywhere at .
/ cents per package, making II the safest
/ surest. cheapest pile cure before the pub

| tain success.

rnnch confusion and disorder among the
papers, scattering them about. They and
the servant Strothers, by their direction,
burned a quantity or papers belonging to
he deceased-Some In "A Coal-Scuttle in the
yard and others on the hearth in Judge
Holts bedroom.
That theuuantity of papers burned in this
way must have been considerable appears
from the fact that Strothers a witness
for the caVeators, stated that they were
burned one chilly day TO make a fire and
The FIRE was kept mp with them" WASH
ington Holt and Sterett did not conilne
their search to the papers in Judge Holts
house, 1t appeared, Dui aiso had access 10
and examined those in his safe deposit
box, and they claim that no will, except
the one of 1913, was found in any place.
The decision of the Supreme Court was
handed down by Justice Peckham yester-
day. The decision says: The court be
low erred in permitting witnesses TO give
an opinion as to the genuineness of hand
writing founded partly upon knowledge
and familiarity with the legal attainments,
the style and composition of the individual
whose handwriting was in controversy
and as corroboTative of their opinion from
knowledge of handwriting alone
There was no evidence that the testa-
tor either himself performed or that he
authorized the acts OF mutilation, ana II
is thought that no presumption that he
did canaarise from the fact that the Will
was not found among his papers, and the
appearance of the Will when received by
the register furnished no such presump-
ton.
''There being no presumption of reV0ca-
tion from the appearance of the paper,
and the onus being on those who assert
it's revocation, can the written or oral
declarations of the teStator, made SubSe-
uuently to the execution of the will, and
tending to show the existence of another
will not otherwise proved or tending to
show the state of his affections for his
relatives and an alleged change in his
feelings toward the relatives of one of
the legatees, though not toward the lega-
tee herself. be admitted for the purpose of
asking the jury to infer either that the
testator himself mutilated and burned
with the intention to revoke the will or
directed the acts of mutilation and burn
ing in order to accomplish such revoca-
tion.
Here is simply the case Of an inference
sought to be drawn that the testator did
the act and with the intent to revoke the
will because of his making certain dec
! larations rs to a WILL and also because he
! had expressed friendly feelings toward
some of his relatives and feelings the re-
verse of friendly toward the father OF Cne
| of the legatees.
| These declarations are regarded as no
| more admissible for the purpose of infer
ring a revocation than for the purpose of
! inferring the forgery of the will. A re-
vocation must be shown by evidence of
| an act of the deceased under his direc-
tion which would be sufficient to show
| the fact, or the instrument must have
| been found among the papers of the de-
| ceased mutiIated and torn or otherwise
/ defaced and under such circumstances
| that the fact of revocation might be Pre-
| Sumed.'
