From the New York Evening Post.
Frank p. Blair of counsel for Capt o.
VI. Carter, has issued a pamphlet, address
sed to every American who believes In
fair play" 1t contains am abstract of
certain evidence taken in Carter's trial
before the United States Commissioner
In his introduction to the pamphlet Mr.
Blair sharply condemns the present sys-

IN SOME CASES
A single Package of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is Sufficient to Cure.

This may seem a broad statement when
it is remembered that few diseases are so
obstinate to really cure as piles: some
physicians going so far as to say that a
painful surgical operation is the only ner-
manent cure, but the many and remark
able cures made by the Pyramid pile
Cure in the past few years have proven
that surgical operations are no longer
necessary, and that it is. by far the safest
and most reliable remedy yet discovered
for this common and often dangerous
trouble
The harmless acids and healing oils con-
tanned in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause
the blood vessels to contract to a natural
condition ard the little tumors are alb
sorbed and the cure is made without pain
Inconvenience or detention from bus ness
DR.. Williams, a prominent CRITICAL sur
geon says: 1T is the duty of every sllr
geon to avoid an operation If possible
to cure in any other way and after MANY
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure I IN
hesitatingly recommend 1t In preference TO
an operation"
Mr.. Phil Owens of So. Omaha writes
that after suffering two years from an az
gravated case of itching and protrudins
piles he was cured by a single 80 cent
package of the Pyramid Pile Cure pur-
chased from local druggist, he saws.
Il fully expected the trouble would re-
turn but am happy to say for the past
year and half have been entirely fire.,
from the disease and I can not speak too
warmly in favor of the Pyramid Pile
Cure"
A bill clerk in one of the large whole
sale houses of St. Louis says: MY oc-
cupation as billing clerk was so combining
and sedentary that IL finally brought on
an aggravated attack OF rectal trouble
which my physician diagnosed a. pch nr
and protrudng piles and recommended a
salve which he prepared and which gave
me some relief for few hours after
using and then the trouble would come
back es bad as ever one Of the other
clerks advised me to try the Pyramid Pile
Cure and ! now feel Ike thanking him
every day for recommending II as a sim
gle 50 cent package cured me and 1 have
had no trace Of piles since. something

Hundreds of pile sufferers. who had al
most decided 10 undergo the pain ana

Cure which can be purchased at any drug
store was far safer. better and more of-
fectivS than an operation could possibly

SISTER GAINED HIS PARDON.
AIOnzo Pitts Doesn't owe His Liberty
to Chief JOyner.

A romantic story, recently published In
Atlanta and copied elsewhere, which tells
Of Gov. Gamblers pardon of Alonzo Pitts,
gives all of the credit for securing the
pardon to Chief Joyner, of the Atlanta
Fire Department
According to Mr.. Francis NJ Oliver, who
represented Pitts at his trial for the muir
der of Adam Thornburg, in 1897 Chief
Joyner. or whoever is responsible for this
story, is doing a good woman grave in
justice Mr.. Oliver says he is in pos
session of all the facts in the case and
happens to know that the pardon granted
by the Governor was at the instance and
through the unre m. ting effolts of Miss
Viola Pitts, sister of the man pardoned.
When Pitts was convicted Of man
slaughter and sentenced to fifteen years
in the penitentairy, his sister be-
gan almost at once efforts to secure her
brothers pardon What money she had
was made with her needle and she was
not able to employ counsel and pay their
expenses to Atlanta TO appear before the
pardon board in her brothers behalf.
Therefore she went herself.
In the latter part of last year Pitts
distinguished himself at a fire at the
works he was confined. and thus inter
ested Chief Joyner in mis- case. Since
that time the Atlanta fireman has done
what he could do get Pitts pardoned,
but his efforts, said Mr. oliver have
been auxiliary only to those of the mans
devoted and loving sister.
Gov Gambler himself told Mr.. Oliver
that his heart had been as much touched
by the devotion and unremitting efforts
of Miss Pitts as by anything in his ex-
perience as chief executive. He told him,
too, that he was rather inclined to grant
the pardon, which had then been recon-
mended by the Pardon Board, but that he
could not do so unless a stronger show
ing was made. Miss Pitts secured the
signatures of most of the grand and petit
jurors in her brothers case and those OF
a number of other prominent and infiu-
entail Savannahans to a petition for her
brothers pardon, and on this showing the
pardon was granted by the Governor.
Mr. Oliver recognizes that Chief Joyner
has done all that he could in the matter,
but he thinks 1t unjust that the chief
should get all the credit, when the facts
| entitle him to so small a share.

A Dove In Church.

"A Newton (Sfass.) young lady saw a
peculiar feature in n church in a Maine
town which she visited. Hearing the
cooling of a dove, she looked around
and saw a white dove perched on the
organ and listening to the music with
great appreciation. She learned after
ward that the dove had been a regular
attendant at church for eight or ten
years, being attracted by the music, OF
which It was very fond. 1t was u
years old and was the pet Of lady
who lived near. After church the dove
was taken to the Sunday school class
by boy and seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings. Unlike many churchgoers,
the weather made no difference to the
dove, but every Sunday, summer and
winter, he was at his post on the or

Joseph Davies, who began life as a
sawyer and carpenter and whose hon.
esty and industry carried him on to
wealth as a railway contractor sank
all his money in boring for coal, no

Then he called large meeting of tie
miners and told them that he had
spent the earnings of his life In the

declared that that was all he had
left of 100000, which he had sunk in

threw the coin among them.

cry effort Is being made to get the best
athletes Of the world to meet on the
grounds at Buffalo
II is probable that the \. A. q. cham
pionships will be contested there. Two
days will be set aside for them. Col
lege teams will play baseball and foot
ball. All the tennis champions Of the
different states will be brought togeth-
er in an interstate match.
Caledonian games, in which all the
Scotch athletes will take part. are be-
ing planned. and prizes too attractive
to ignore will be offered.
There will be TO department Of sports
neglected. Gaelic and association foot
ball will be seen on the same field
where the college giants will meet.
Water sports will not be neglected.
There will be swimming champion
ships under the sanction OF the A. A..
T., polo, fly casting, diving and any
thing else I'm the water line that the
promoters can devise.
Shooting over the traps, at targets,
with rife and revolver will bring ham
dlers of the gun from all parts Of the
world. Lacrosse. cycling, gymnastics,
cricket and bowling will be well cared
for In the way of prizes. Even cr0quet
and racket, nice ladylike games, will
be fairly treated. There is no branch
Of sport from interscholastic to profess
slonal which will not be seen on the
Pan-American grounds.
James Il. Sullivan, secretary Of the

Sullivan is n hard worker, so that the
success Of the plans are assured.
