The Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppIanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Tke Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppIanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
The old methods of treating piles by
hgature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilatation, besides causing
intense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far sss a cure is con-
cerned
The liver is responsible for nearly every
case of piles, and the mistake has been
made of treating piles as a purely local
disease. Such is not the case. how
ever, and the success of the new treat
ment known as the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not salve
OF ointment but a suppository which is
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as local and constitutional treatment
and in cases of many years standing
this treatment has been effectual
Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimable value of the Py-
ramid and even those who have under
gone surgical operations without cure
have been happily surprised by results
from a few weeks treatment with the
Pyramid
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine
Because the relief is so instantaneous.
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is guarantee
absolutely free from any opiate or min
eral poison whatever
The relief is the result of the astrin-
gent properties of the remedy which
causes the little tumors and congested
blood vessels to contract and normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci
entffie, both in its composition and in
its therapeutic action and the best fea-
ture of it is that it is perfectly safe and
harmless. No i'll effects ever result from
its use but only positive benefit
A singular fact in view of the largo
number of patent medicines before the
public is that the Pyramid is the only
pile cure of national reputation. 1t IS
the only pile cure popular enough
and meriterious enough to be found in
every drug store in the United States
1t sells at 80 cents for full-sized pack

there were still quite important differ
ences to be reconciled, and the mem
bers separated with the understanding
that another meeting would be held on
Monday. -
The members on both sides of the COM
mittee expressed the hope that an agree
ment would be reached but all said that
the proceedings had not gone far enough
70 render 1t certain that this result
would be attained.
One important point to which the COM
mittee is giving especial attention, al
though that point may not be emphasized
or even mentioned in the proposed
amendment, is the relation of Cuba to
the Isle Of Pines There is some dis
position among the Cubans to hold that
island, and on the other hand there is
apparently no intention on the part Of
the United States to release that island
on the ground that it was acquired as
the result of the Spanish-American war.
There is some difference as to the mean
ing of the word "pacification' as used
in the Teller resolution. That resolution
provided that the United States forces
should be removed from the island
when it should become ''pacified" The
contention is this is word that may
be broadly interpreted and may permit
the United States troops to remain for
long period of time.
Apparently all the members of the COM
mittee unite in the opinion that there
would be no possibility of withdrawing
the American troops until the pacifica-
ton of the island and the handing over
of the government to the new repub-
lie
There will be no effort Tuesday to re-
pert the amendment as there is general
desire to have it become a part of the
army appropriation bill, the consideration
of which has already begun in the SEN
ate.
WORK CT CUBAN CONVENTION.
HAVANA, Feb. 2S-The constitutional
conventions commission on relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba held a
long consultation this morning and after
wards conferred with delegates to the
convention. At a private meeting of the
commission it was unanimously agreed
that some form OF resolutions should be
drawn UP showing the gratitude of Cuba
to the United States, but these resolu-
tions it was also admitted must be in
conformity with the views of the people
of Cuba and must not endanger the SOW
erCignty of the republic. The right of
the United States to intervene for the
preservation Of peace and the establish
nlent and maintenance of naval stations
by the United States We're considered
dangerous to Cuban sovereignty and on
these questions the difficulty hinges. The
commission agrees to the acceptance OF
the provisions of the treaty of Paris with
reference to the clause giving the United
States the right to intervene, only, how
ever, when the republics sovereignty is
endangered and the government is incom-
petent to preserve peace.
A compromise was suggested with refer
ence to the question of naval stations
providing that the United States could
occupy and fortify forts in time Of war.

The commission will meet Monday
morning to sign the report for sUbmis
sion to the executive session of the con-
vention to be held Monday afternoon.

Made From FIeeces of Seventy Black
Sheep for MIR. Mckinley.
Jersey City Journal.
Ex-Finance Commissioner George w
Peterson superintendent of the wagon
service of the United States Express
company, in Jersey City, has for years
past been an ardent amateur stock breed
er. He has a well equipped farm at AUS
terlitz, N. Y. He is also a breeder of
fancy cattle and thoroughbred horses. At
the county fairs his cattle have often
been prize winners, and many of his
horses have made excellent track rec
ords, and when sold have brought fancy
prices.
About two years ago Mr.. Peterson con-
ocived the idea of raising a flock of black
sheep. This was accomplished at consid-
cradle expense. The original flock con-
sisted of fifty black sheep. Since then it
has increased and now numbers seventy.
The sheep were sheared from time to
time and the wool was saved. Recently
Mr.. Peterson had the wool spun and
woven into cloth. Tt made about one
hundred yards of cloth, a rich brown
black i'll color Absolutely no dye was
used. There is no known instance where
cloth has been made entirely from the
wool of black sheep and Mr.. Peterson
believes that he is is the only man in
the world that ever accomplished this
feat
Pieces of the cloth were sent to Prezi-
dent William Mckinley and Senator
Thomas G. Plat. OF New York. and 1t
is probable that in a short time they will
appear adorned in clothes made entirely
from the wool of Mr. Peterson's black
sheep.
Mr. Peterson claims that he has expert
mented, and proved to his own satisfac-
ton, at least; that it is possible to breed
black sheep Once in a while white
sheep will make it's appearance, but the
instances will be as rare as the appear

The Spanish war of 1879 absorbed &54.-

pensive of all was the French Revolu-

the retrospect back to 1858 and up to
1915 we find there were in that period
sixty-two years of peace and that the
sixty-five years of war cost a2, 023 000, eco.

NEW YORK. April 10.-The United States
army transport Rawlins, which was to
have sailed this afternoon for Havana, Ma
tanzas and Cienfuegos, is lying with her
saloon decks awash in thirty feet of water
to the south of the army pier at the foot of
Pacific street, Brooklyn. Fire was discov-
cred aft of the Rawlins's main engine room
early this morning. Two alarms brought to
the pier six engines, two trucks and three
freboats. and at $50 o. clock so many thou
sands of gallons of water had been pumped
into the transports hold that she keeed
over, and, with water rushing in through
her open ports, settled slowly until her keel
touched bottom.
Four men were overcome by smoke. They
were John Snyder and Henry Babcock,
sailors; Thomas Skidmore. a clerk in the
army transport department. and Patrick
Mason, a fireman Snyder was the only one
whose condition was serious. The property
loss will not exceed $4,000. 1t will cost s2O,-
900 more to pump her out and raise her.
The Rawlns was being loaded with a
miscellaneous cargo. consisting for the
most part of horse feed for army use. She
was also to carry a quantity of mixed sup
plies, which had been piled on the pier for
loading. The Sedgwick will go to Cuba in

old. born in Stockholm, and the OF
prominent and wealthy parents. He early
began a criminal career. and is pronounced
by officials of the United States secret
service one of the most expert counter
feiters alive. In March of 1897 he escaped
from the penitentiary at Joliet, ILL.,, while
serving a sentence there for making and
passing counterfeit twenty-dollar bills, and
Chief Hazen, of the secret service depart
ment, has bench warrant for Skoog's
rest, which had been issued from the
United States Circuit Court for the North

Skoog is wanted in Sweden for making
and passing a large number of counterfeit
1OO-kroner notes such as are issued by the
Bank of Sweden. This work was done early
in 1898, Skoog having gone to Sweden at
once after his escape from Joliet.
Skoog was identified at the Hudson-street
Hospital to-day by Chief Hazen. Yester-
day the man attempted to pass counterfeit
50-kroner notes on the Bank of Copen-

One of the biggest raids in the history of
the secret service was made tonight by
Chief Hazen as a result of the arrest of

Skoog to-day, and after following a Glow

the most complete counterfeiting plants
