This atrocity occurred in I774 dur

MR.ROBERI ELTON
ONE OF MoNvouMERY's
CITIzENs.
He Was SO Years Old and Had 10
Immediate Relatives Here.
To Be Inferred at Oak
.@s'' wood Today.

Mr.. Robert Elton, IS years OF age. adj
one of Montgomery oldest citizens gdiH
yesterday morning at Q o'clock, in ny.
apartments at 10 l-2 Dexter Avenue.
Old age and q severe cold caused tn
death of Mr.. Elton. The end came sud
denly. For several days he had bee,
bedridden, but his friend Mr.. Willk
Chandler. who was attending him, had nj
fears that the end was near until fet
hours before death came.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning Nj.
Chandler. who was staying temporarily
in Mr.. Elton's room, noticed change in
the condition Of the old gentleman, HIS
pulse beats were less frequent and the
death shadow came over his face. Mr.
Elton was conscious and his mind was
active until the last. About three min
utes before he died he raised his hand
and bade Mr.. Chandler farewell.
The funeral of Mr.. Elton will take
place this afternoon at o'clock from
the Court Street Methodist Church, Of
which church he was n member many
years. The pastor, DR.. A. J. Lamar, will
offlciate,
Mr.. Elton was born in, or near, Phila-
delphia in 1915. He remained at his home
through childhood and youth, moving to
Montgomery in the early 40's. Here he
thrift and attention to business gained
competency. He retired from business
about twenty years ago.
In Montgomery Mr.. Elton met and mar
ried Mrs. Boyle many years before the
war. She was a widow, who was before
her marriage a Miss Wingate. Mrs. Ell
ton died about thirty years ago and was
buried in lakewood cemetery. At the
time of his wife's death Mr.. Elton had
the vault In which he wished to be buried
constructed. and In it, he will today be
inferred.
Mr.. Elton leaves no immediate family.
A number of the relatives of Mrs. Elton
reside in Montgomery and Mr.. Elton had
brother-in-iaw and two nephcws in
Philadelphia. His brother.in-law. Mr..
Frank Headman. is an old gentleman.
who lives several miles out of Philadel-
phia. He has two sons, Messrs Frank
c. Headman and John Headman, both of
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Elton was one Of the oldest men,
bers of the Court Street Methodist Church,
but in recent years, on account of his I'M
paired hearing, he rarely ever attended
services.
During the life OF his wife. Mr.. Elton
owned comfortable house on Washing
ton Street near jackson. He sold this
prCpeTty u HuIhpeT OF years ago ana IN
recent years had lived alone In comfort
able apartments at IL l-2 Dexter Avenue.
He had been a familiar figure on the
streets of Montgomery for many years.
but recently had been confined to his
apartments, to which he was very much
attached, as he was to Montgomery. 1t
was his ardent wish that he should die
In the apartments.
Mr.. Elton was a tidy, well-dressed and
neat old gentleman. bearing his age well
and retaining his mental faculties.
He leaves some property. winch, by a
will, will go to his Philadelphia relatives,
although several Montgomerians are made
beneficiaries.

ABSORBING PROBLEM
OF the Present Day.

The absorbing problem of today is. how
to expend ones income 50 as to attain the
best results; that is, get full value for
ones money.
Ii may truthfully be said that this has
been, is, and always will be an absorb
ing problem to those with limited means
but the fact remains that, with the price
of living necessities consta ntly rising one
must husband ones resources more care
fully than ever before II he would live
within his income. In saying that prices
are rising, we except one article which has
come to occupy a prominent place in the
family medicine closet, and that Is the
SPECIFIC for piles or hemorrhoids known
as Pyramid Pile Cures this remedy is still
sold by druggists at the old prices of
fifty cents and one dollar. and these
prices will remain unchanged. Those to
whom this preparation has brought relief
and a cure after years of suffering do not
need to be told of its merits: others are
advised that 1t is the greatest boon ever
discovered. to all those afflicted with any
form of piles: it is in suppository form,
is easily applied. reaches the seat of the
complaint, and gives immediate relief and
a lasting cure,
The reader may have tried salves, oint-
ments and lotions without benefit, and
feeling that his money has been wasted,
resolves to suffer on rather than expert
ment farther. The reason for the failure
OF these treatments Is, that they do not
reach the seat of the trouble, and hence
do not remove the cause as does Pyramid
Pile Cure. A little book describing piles,
their cause and cure. is published by the
Pyramid Drug Co. Marshall. Mich, and
anyone may procure copy by sending
name and address 70 above firm. AS
showing the estimation in which this
remedy is held by the public 1t may inter-
est the reader to know that its sales now
exceed those Of all other pile remedies
combined wed-su.

DID NOT LIKE THE SPEECH.
Robson Called Down at Dinner to
Slams Crown Prince.

New York, Oct 2S-Both the Crown
Prince of Siam and his brother. at din
ner given at the Lotos Club, extended
greeting Of good will to this country
from Siam.
Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson Of
Santiago fame. falling evidently to catch
the spirit of the OCCASION. took the op-
portunity, when he was called upon for
a speech. TO recommend a policy of ag-
gIession in the East. and urged that the
navy OF the United States be increased
until it was as large as that of all OF
Europe combined
In vain did the lotos eaters ask that
the gallant lieutenant say something
about the Prince They called: That
will do" But the naval hero proceeded
much after the manner of a bull in a
china shop. talking OF the supremacy
which the United States must exercise
in the East. not by being good neigh
bors, as the Prince had feiicitously ex-
pressed 1t, but by force Of arms and
by a naval force which would intimtdate
all the powers when the partition OF China
would come.
The Crown Prince made a felicitous
speech. which was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the members Of the club.

and two or three other citizens who were
attracted to the scene. Five dynamite
shots were fired by the man in the bank
before he succeeded in getting at the
cash box.
The sum secured was almost all silver,

cy. At o'clock the four men left the
