;, Niagara Sensations Of the Past =

Niagara Falls and the whirlpool
rapids are just now furnishing more
sensations than at any one time In
thesr history. The prospect OF having
unpreced ented crowds to witness a
feat, together with the desirability Of
doing something which will fit into
the same niche II history with the
Pan--.Atlmerican exposition, has set
ambition ablaze in the breast OF every
person who thinks he is able to per-
form any record breaking freakish ac-
ton at Americas great wonder. Y.
s@ There is one man, however, who is
ready to undertake a remarkable feat
on the turbulent bosom of the Whirl-
pool rapids mainly in the interest Of
science-a feat so daring that he has
not been able to get any expert scien-
list who would risk his life in order to
assist in the enterprise. So. Mr.. P. M
Nissen, the originator of the idea, will
go 1t alone. His intention is, on the
first favorable day, to navigate the
whirlpool rapids of Niagara river with
a steamboat of his own construction,
and at the same time he will endeavor
to take soundings Of the whirlpool and
rapids, a thing many times attempted,
but never successfully accomplished.
Nissen Stands Alone.
Nissen became famous last summer
by shooting the whirlpool and rapids
in an open boat, the only person who
ever survived such feat. For various
reasons Mr.. Nissen chose to perform
this feat under the nom de plume of
Mr.. Bowser," but some Of his friends
in Chicago, where he lives, gave him
away, and he has preferred since to be
known under his real name. Mr.. Mis-
sen is Dane by birth, bookkeeper

Wild Flowers in Danger.

Persons interested in wild flowers
are endeavoring to create-and to Or
ganize-a sentiment for the protection
OF our native plants, especially near
large cities, says the Youths Com
panlon. The pond lily, trailing ar
butus, native orchids, fringed gentian
and many of the evergreens have been
gathered in Massachusetts for sale IN
such quantities and SO steadily sought
by trequenters of suburban woods, that
their extinction is threatened. The
remedy suggested is that care be used
to cut rather than pull the flowers.
SO that the roots need not be disturbed
and that those who gather rare planta
for market should be discouraged nv

Boys without Sisters.
But there are boys who have no sis

there is the danger Of getting out Of

the men whose wives cry after they

kiss them goodby. That woman is a
creature who likes goodby and other
kisses; that she dosen't like you to
read or whistle when she is talking to
you (nor do other men); that she can
bear being disagreed with when she
tells you she knows she is losing all her

infelicitous reply to make), and that
she doesn't like her comments on poll

A VICTORY FOR THE UNION.
A Strike Averted by the Surrender
of Four Women Bookbinders.

The fight between the union and nom
union women bookbinders of the city is
over, the former being victorious. For
more than month, four of the nom
union bookbinders. who were employed at
the Government Printing Office, have
been holding out against the union wo-
men, but yesterday they surrendered and
last night pledged their allegiance TO the
union.
The meeting of the Women's Bookbind-
cry Union was held last night at Typo
graphical Temple, and it is said 1t was
the largest gathering of the members
sided over by Miss Kate V. Smoot, the
president, and there were about 400 mem
beers present Addresses were made by
William b. Hyde and James l.. Feeny
the latter the President of the Bookbind-
Union.
II was stated that strong influence was
brought to bear to induce the four wo-
men to affiliate with the union, who had
maintained all along that they would not
be forced to join in the face Of their OBJ
lection to dHicIism
Had the four referred to refused to
pledge their support to the union last
night 1t is said that a strike al the Gov
eminent Printing Office would have re-
suited, In which, not only the members
of the women's union, but the Bookbind-
ers Union also, aggregating nearly loo.
would have participated Besides the
is also believed that the members of all
of the allied trades employed at the Gov
eminent Printing Office would have gone
on sympathetic strike with them.

THREE YEARS FOR LARCENY.
George u. Davis to Appeal From the
Trial Courts Sentence.

George r. Davis recently convicted of
| larceny in Criminal Court No. /, was
| yesterday sentenced by Justice Barnard
to Imprisonment for a period of three
years in the penitentiary at Mounds
vile, w. Va. Through his attorney, Fred
Beall the prisoner filed an appeal to the
Court of Appeals for the District from
the Judgment of the trial court.
Davis was formerly employed by the
Southern Express Company railway
messenger. and his run was between this
city and Mobile, Ala. Some time prior to
July, 1899, several money packages en-
trusted to the express company for trans
portation were lost, and suspicion pointed
to Davis as the person responsible for
their disappearance. on July 3, 1889,
package containing 900 was stolen from
the safe OF the express company, while
| the train was en- route from the South
to Washington. Davis was messenger
on that trip, and when he arrived in this
city. he was summoned to the office of
the company on Pennsylvania Avenue and
questioned concerning the disappearance
of the money. He denied any knowledge
of the missing package.
Previous to his being summoned to the
Office of the superintendent of the express
company, it was discovered that some
local manufacturer of seals, TO make
seal similar to that used by the express
company for sealing money packages.
Baumgarten was also summoned to the
office of the superintendent of the COM
pany and identified Davis as the man for
whom he had made the seal. when
Baumgarten identified Davis. the latter
drew pistol from his pocket and fired
at his accuser. He was indicted by the
grand jury for assault with intent to kill.
Upon trial he was convicted and sem
fenced by Justice Clabaugh to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for a period Of
two and half years. He was afterward
pardoned by the President. Il
About a month ago Davis was called to
trial, charged with embezzlemeTt and lar
ceny. The jury which heard the evidence
ignored the charge of embezZlement and
found Davis guilty of larceny. Davis
counsel filed motion for new trial. Ar
gument was heard on the motion last
week by Justice Barnard. and yesterday
he announced his decision overriding it.
After the decision of the court, Mr.. Beall
made plea for clemency in behalf of
Davis. Justice Barnard, however, stated
before imposing sentence that he did not
think the circumstances surrounding the |
case warranted the court in extending |
clemency. and imposed the fun penalty |
allowed by the law for the crime of lar
ceny.
MaximiIian W. Falk, who was convicted |
of violation of the Edmunds law, and sem |
fenced to six months Imprisonment in the |
left for Moundsville, w. Va, |
last night to serve his sentence. Since |
his conviction about two years ago, Falk |
has been at large on bond awaiting the re- |
suit of his appeal to the Supreme Court |
of the United States. About ten days |
ago that court denied his appeal At the |
time, he was in Pittsburg, Pa, and he |
came to this city Immediately.

STRIKES THE SOURCE.
A Pile Cure Tint Goes to the Root
of the DiScnAc


There are lots of lpt ions, tjiis, and salves
that will. through their soothing infiu-
ence, relieve temporarily the pain Incident
to piles. But is that all the sufferer re-
quires? Isn't 1t a horrible thought to real
iZe that the ease is only temporary and
the disease goes on under the surface
without moments interruption?
Wouldn't II be wiser to select a remedy
that seeks the source and regulates those
deep-seated disorders which induce the
disease? Pyramid Pile Cure, not only re-
lieves the pain at once, but-effects per-
manent cure of the worst form of piles.
You don't have to go through a tedious
course of dieting white using it, either.
1t strikes through those delicate mem
branes and tissues and sets the blood in
healthful circulation, reducing at once the
painful Inflammation and congested tu-
mors
This remedy is not a haphazard combi
nation of drugs, but is a remedy invented
by 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 II on sale.
Don't treat this disease with every To-
ton and salve that comes along. Re
member the parts affected are among the
most delicate In the human body. This
remedy is absolutely safe and no one need
fear to apply 1t freely on the most in
famed parts. The speed with which it
allays the pain is an agreeable surprise
to the sufferer.
