DESPERADOES AND THEIR GUNS.
The Short. Deadly Bulldog is Their
FavOrite Weapon.

The Short. Deadly Bulldog is Their
Favorite Weapon.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Il notice in pictures of frontier des-
peradoes," said a citizen who lived in the
west at the time it was wild and woolly,
that they are always represented as car
rying enormous revolvers In holsters slung
to the left hip. That is a mistake. The
cowboys down in the grazing country af-
fected that kind Of a weapon and would
catch cold if they didn't have one on, but
in the mining regions, where life was con-
siderably more strenuous and the typical
frontier desperate was to be found in full
bloom, big guns We're not fashionable.
The professional bad man preferred some
thing small and compact that he could
stow away in odd places and produce un-
expectedly in an argument. The arm that
was most generally carried by that class
was a squat, ugly, .35-caliber bulldog re-
yolver made somewhere in England and
imported expressly for the western trade.
l don't remember ever seeing one anywhere
else. 1t had five chambers and inch
and-a half barrel, and, while it inde-
scribably clumsy and uncouth in appear
ance, il was really very handy and for
midable machine The barrel was so short
it could be carried almost anywhere with
out attracting attention and favorite
trick was to slip it into the coat sleeve
something that enabled a noted gambler
named Bill Westfall to kill a rival ruff
fan at Gunnison in 1884. The men met in
bar and WestfaH, apparently unarmed,
was carelessly holding the lapels of his
coat A few words passed, when suddenly
his right hand dropped, bulldog fell into
his palm and he shot the other man dead.
Another pet scheme was to stuff the pistol
into the fob pocket of the trousers. When
the bad man wanted to bring it into action
he would tumble carelessly with his waist
band, and his vis-a-vis generally woke up
to the situation with a chunk of hot lead
in his vitals.
1.-THE plan of cutting hole in the pocket
of an alpaca coat was the invention of an
Arizona killer named Norton The loose,
there was no weapon concealed about 1t
and when Norton had his hands in the

SOr1ETTr1ES FATAL
IN THEIR FIRST STAGES PILES SEEN 1NSlG
NIFICANT-NBGLECT THEM AND RE-
SUITS ARE OFTEN FATAL.
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES THEM so THEY
STAY CURED.

AT least onefourth of all mankind afflicted
to greater or less degree with piles.
Very often the disease is of irregular recurrence.
Maybe the trouble comes only once or twice year
Even 1t units man for business while It lasts.
Seems like little thing, but it produces more bad
feelings than even serious sickness would In
we're cases there is no comfort attainable. Various
salves and ointments afford temporary relief, but
In few minutes the pain returns. Each attack is
little bit worse than the last one Itching is fol-
lowed by bleeding and protrusion. Fistula follows
surgical treatment-death, possibly. And all this
can be avoided.
The discovery of Pyramid Pile Cure has made
suffering unnecessary, even foolish. By its use
relief is instantaneous. 1t soothes the infamed
parts, heals the broken membranes, reduces the
swelling and brings comfort at once.
The cure is permanent and the trouble will not
return unless new conditions arise which produce
an entirely new This, of course, cannot be
helped, but if you will use Pyramid Cure imme-
dfately on the appearance of the first symptom the
trouble will vanish
Druggists sell and recommend Pyramid Pile Cure.
There may be some who do not have 1t, In which
case you can get 1t yourself from the makers, the

went downstairs and found 1t led into an
areaway and from thence across the back
yard to the rear of another building, where
a cistern was evidently once located. Six
inches from its open end was a sheet of
tin. covering a hole of some kind in the
wall, and as soon as drew near the secret
was out. There was a steam engine for an
electric light plant in the building. and
the loose tin vibrated steadily whenever
1t was in motion, which was practically day
and night. The drain pipe simply acted as
a speaking tube, and, returning to the
room found the upper end broken off in
line with a big crack in the window casing.
1 jerked down the pipe and the ghost was
laid. Architects and builders are quite fre<
quently called in, by the way, to locate
and suppress annoying sounds. The nuis-
ance is much more common than anybody
would suppose who has never suffered from
it.. Not long ago a heavy partition in n
building here was torn open simply to get
out loose lath that was worrying the ten

but the hole enabled him at any time to
reach down into his trousers and quietly
dig up bulldog which he carried with
his loose change. This maneuTer enabled
him to send several Of his enemies to the
happy hunting grounds but the secret
finally leaked out. and after that the al
paca coat was regarded as a sign of war.
OF course, the bulldog was of no value
whatever at long range, for the thing shot
seven ways for Sunday, but nine-tenths of
the fights in that country were hand-to-
hand affairs. and then the quickness with
which it could be drawn was great point
in it's favor. 1t was next to impossible,
also to wrench 1t out of a strong mans
grasp, for there was nothing to take hold
of. l remember witnessing affray be-
tween couple of desperadoes at the once
well-known camp of Carbonville. One of
them-a fellow named Jack Hill-drew
bulldog and the other seized 1t by it's
stumpy barrel and tried to twist it out of
his hand. Hill merely pulled the trigger

FIRST WOMEN PHYSICIANS.
Russia Claims the Distinction of Their
- Introduction.

From the Chautauquan.
Russia has long prided herself on having
the first women physicians. Marya Bokoff,
Nadezhda Susloff and others were pioneers,
not only in their own studies, but also in
opening up medical instruction to their
countrywomen. The career of Nadezhda
Susloff, one of the earliest and best women
doctors, is particularly interesting. Born
a serf and freed with her parents, at the
emancipation in 1861 she and her brothers
and sisters received the best possible edu-
cation at home and abroad, for her parents
were both extremely intelligent, and her
father acquired wealth after gaining his
freedom. Everywhere, in Russia and In
the continental schools, Nadezhda was bril-
liantly successful.
For thirty years there has been no man
ner Of doubt as to the sympathy of the
public and the medical world with the idea
of thorough medical instruction for women.
Men started the movement. In 1870 one
professor and two other men undertook TO
establish courses for instructing women in
midwifery. two graded courses being pro-
vided. Nine. Dodstvenny, now Nine. Sha-
nyawsky, gave 5000 rubles for higher
medical courses and the minister of war
arranged to have them opened in connec-
ton with the Military Medical Academy, In
1872. They gave full instruction, in con-
trast with the initial experiment where the
course was partial because IL was felt that
woman should not be allowed to deal
with one vitality important branch of prac-
tise unless she were very thoroughly
equipped. These higher courses lasted for
ten years, and during that period had $50
students, the majority coming from the
Privileged classes" that is to say, not
peasants. The majority were members of
the Russian Church, but there were several
Jewesses Roman Catholics and Lutherans

LAYING A GHOST.
Architect Relates His Experience in
Locating Mysterious Noise.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
'eThere is certainly nothing more distract
ing than a slight, monotonous noise,' said
a young architect of this city. 81 mean a
noise of the drumming or tapping variety,
repeated with mechanical regularity. One
can become accustomed to the worst kind
of a promiscuous hubbub and learn to en-
joy tranquility next door to a barber shop,
but the tap-tap-tap of loose shingle or
rickety window frame will bore its way
into the nerve centers like dropping water
eating into stone. What reminded me of
tht: subject was peculiar experience / had
last week. A friend of mine, who works
in one of the railroad offices, sent for me
in considerable distress and begged me to
come home with him and locate a noise
that he said was driving his wife almost
frantic. The couple live in a suite of rooms
over store in an old and heavily con-
structedsbrick building.
Il found the noise that was bothering
them was audible only in the right-hand
front apartment, which they used as a
parlor, and as soon heard it l appre-
ciated their desire to be rid of it. 1t was
a curious sound-a sort of faint metallic
rapping, which came apparently from no.
where in particular and was about as loud
in one place as another. Such a solid
building was not likely to be subject to
vibrations, and I confess / was consider
ably puzzled. 1 listened attentively at all
the walls, shifted every article Of furni-
ture in the room and went over the entire
building, above and below, without finding
a clew to the nuisance. The only place the
noise could be heard was in that one room.
and there seemed to be absolutely nothing
to account for 1t. My friends wife is nat
ura1ly a nervous woman. and she had
worked herself into such condition that
she declared she wouldn't remain another
day on the premises.

SPEAKS TO ENGLAND

London, April 1.-Herbert Gladstone,
member Of Parliament for West Leeds,
has Issued a letter to his constituents
containing a striking indictment Of the

clares will be welcomed by all Liber-
ais as a bugle call to action and as
worthy Of his fathers son. He appears
20 have struck a note on which ma
jority OF the Liberals can unite against
what even the Conservative organs ad-
init to be the weak management of the
party in power" The letter Is short.
Its quality can be judged from the fol-
lowing excerpts:
.-The war in South Africa will cost
not fur short Of f2OO, O,O00,O0O and the
settlement seems as far OF as ever.
There are problems to be solved In the
far East Of the first magnitude and the
government appears destitute OF
clear. settled policy. Already the huge
expenditure for the army and navy is
going up by leaps and bounds and will
force Europe to add to its ruinously
large ar1naments. Where is 1t to end?
1.-The Irish question is more to the
front than ever and the government
seems to view 1t with pathetic iln-
potence.
'Tbe advocates Of the Liberals are
not endeavOring to take up the govern
ment's burden until they have exacted
conditions that their policy will not
again be stultified by the rejection of
their measure by the House Of Lords"
Whether the conditions should be ex
acted from the King or whether the
Liberals must frankly appeal to the
country for the practical abolition Of
tile House of Lords Is not quite clear.
