Bangor to this city.
There will be a circus in the city. to-

that there will be an unusually large

playing exceptionally we'll during the
past few games and one of the best
contests of the season is looked for on
Wednesday, by the cranks.
The game was to have been played in
Augusta. but owing to the presence in

JEwELRY IN A DUST HEAP.
A Remarkable Discovery Made at the
Peabody Museum.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Feb. I9.-YaIe
University officials in the Peabody Muse
um made d discovery last Saturday that
nearly took their breath away. In one Of
she store rooms Of the cellar OF the mt
scum building, a workman. who had been
instructed by one of the managers to clean
up things, was at work sweeping away a
pile of rubbish.
A professor connected with the museum
happened to so into the room and picked
out of the dirt q small gIittering piece
OF metal that he ascertaineI was gold
ornament He ordered the workman to
take every bit OF the stuff into his room.
In the pile was $40 COO worth OF gold in
Aztec jewelry. How it came TO be there
no One-in the Peabody Museum can ex-
plain. No one dreamed there was any such
wealth lost in the storeFoOms OF the place
There is one theory about the affair and
1t is this The late Pref. o. C. Marsh,
who for years was at the head Of the Pea
body Museum, had probably purchased the
5eweIry in his travels and when he return
ed TO Yale placed II in this storeroom
temporarily. Then he forgot about it The
jeweIry is now being exhibited in the

CONFESSION OF PLAGIARISM.
4 Princeton Academic student Ex-
PEELED in Disgrace.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-George W. Kehr.
a senior in the Academic Department of
Princeton University. who would have
been graduated with honors in June, has
been expelled for plagiarism. His down
fall is a story of lofty ambition, Lenp,a-
ton. and sudden disgrace.
Kehr delivered as his own an Grafton

junior oratoricaI contest. Kehr received
unstinted praise for what was consId-
cred masterful achievement The era
tion was written and delivered by Frank
P. HeaIman, Of Gettysburg College. I'd.
from whom Kehr got it and led Prince
ton 10 believe it was his own. nehr has
made frank confession. and, although
despising his dishonorable act. the stu
dent body and the faculty pity him
He was poor boy and struggling hard
for an education He studied indeIatiga-
bly, and fought his way 10 high stand
ing n his class Contact with fellow
students won their respect. They believe
ii was an urgent need OF money TO finish
his college course that led him to try to
capture in an underhand manner the Nc
Lean prize.
It is said that Kehr wrote to Realnan,
MS friend. Tor 2 copy OF the latter "a

use 1t only as a model and get an idea
of the treatment OF the subject for ora

The Ola Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppIant~d
by the Pyramid Pile Cure

The cid methods Of treating piles by
hEatuTe, by the knife or by the cruel
methods Of iilatation, besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death. are now known to be but mere

The liver is responsible for nearly every
case OF piles and the mistake has teen
made Of treating piles as a purely local
disease Such Is not the case. however,
and the success Of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated it
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
or ointment hut a suppOsitory which is ap-
piled at night and absorbed into the sen
sItive rectal membrane and acts both as
local and a constitutional treatment and

treatment has been effactuaL-
thousands OF pile sufferers bear witness
10 the inestimabie value Of the Pyramid

happily surprised by results from few

The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes ina CINE that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine be

the Pyramid Pile Cure IS guaranteed eb-

Of it is that 1t is perfectly safe and harm

too, throughout the remainder of the
week.
For the first time in all the years since
that portion Of Race Street between Ninth
and Tenth Streets became the headquart-
ers of PhiladeIphia's Chinese colony the
holiday was ushered in minus the expIo-
sion of a carload, more or less, of fire
crackers In the street. Two things con-
tributed 10 the unwonted silence. One Of
them was a prOhihitory order issued by
the Director Of Public Safety The sec
ond was scarcity of hrecra ckers caused
by the shipment Of practically the entire
Chinatown supply to Harrisburg for use
the night of the day Mr. Quay was re-
elected to the United States Senate.
Director English's order did not apply,
however, to the y rds in the rear Of the
Chinese-illed buildings along Race Street.
nor to the interiors Of the buildings.
Hence when the hell On the roof of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian AsSocia-
ton. at 925 Race Street, announced the
arrival Of the midnight hour there began
fusillade of Chinese Tyrotechnics which
lasted until o'clock in the morning.
Along with the fuSiIIade there was d
breaking cut Of numerous Chinese bands
composed Of fiddleS. tOm-toms. gOngs and
various other peculiar things from which
the natives Of the land Of tea ana queues

simultaneously with the firing of the
first cracker, Lee Ping head Of the Laun-
drymen's Union. and presiding genius Of

open the doors of the room in which that
Chinese deity dweIls and admitted the first
of long line Of waiting Celestials- The
latter came bearing money with which to

there was nothing but JOY and merry
making in Chinatown. Iaundries all over
