SEVEN NAVAL STATIONS.
Distribution of War Vessels Over
Greater Part of Globe.

Washington. Nov 1S.-It has been de-
termined by the administration that the
United States flag shall henceforth be dis
played more generally throughout the
world than has been the case in the past
and as soon as the naval maneuvers in
divided into seven divisions and as many
permanent naval stations established.
The greatest number of naval stations
the government has maintained in the past
has been four, but in recent years we
have had but three the North Atlantic
South Atlantic and the Asiatic. The fourth
station was the European. but when the
ships that station were recalled at the
outbreak of the war with Spain they were
not returned until last spring, and in the
interim flag was not displayed in that
quarter at all.
The navy department has drawn up

GOOD SAMARITAN
Being Helped Himself Wishes to Help
Others.

The papers were never so filled with
advertisements Of remedies that will
cure every known disease, as they are
today; these are invariably accompanied
by letters from people testifying in the
strongest terms to the virtue and merit
of the particular preparation advertised:
but because so much is claimed for the
medicine, it has come to the point where
most readers regard such testimonials
as pure fakes and made up out of
whole cloth.
We are glad. however, to vouch for
the reliability of the following from Mr.
VIM. Lichtenwalter. proprietor Of the
largest printing house in Canton, Ohio,
regarding the Pyramid Pile Cure, for
which nothing is claimed except that 1t
will cure any and every form of piles.
For several months past l have re-
ceived so many inquiries from sufferers
asking if my testimonial is authentic.
that 1 am inclined to send in a bill to
you for postage and stationery. -
1t is now two years since / was last
troubled, and my rectum is as clear and
clean as any man who never had piles
although I suffered with protruding
bleeding and internal piles for twenty
seven years. I will not attempt to de-
tail the agony I suffered, being too
happy to say believe am cured after
two years of evidence.
What will cure one man will some
times not cure another; whether it was
tne Pyramid Pile Cure that cured me-
I cannot say; but have been free from
piles for two years after using your
treatment 1 leave sufferers to draw
their own conclusions.
l will answer any communication that
a sufferer may ask. and will refer to any
business house, bank or manufacturer

AS a general thing, a comic opera is
merely an excuse for the introduction of
a few local and terpsichprean specia1ties,
but in the case of THE Princess Chic
to be presented at the Grand Saturday,
the rule is broken. Kirske La Shelle has
written a reasonable litretto which con-
tains dramatic and narrative interest. as
well as persistent comedy element The
opera represents the closing splendor of
feudal days. when the lord entrenched in
his castle could defy even the encroach-
ments of kings. The locale is the
Province of Burgundy, and the historical
personages introduced are Louis XII of
France, Charles the Bold of Burgundy
and Princess Chic of Normandy. Although
historical accuracy and dramatic sequence
are there, one seldom seeks these things
in comic opera. The critics everywhere
consider THE Princess Chic merry and
musical.
At last Ezra Kendall has abandoned
vaudeville, and at the very time when
his name as top-line for a bill was a
guarantee of big business in any house
in the United States, and managers had
to make their contract a long way ahead
to secure him at any price. With the
opening of this season he passed under
the management of Liebler & Co., who
have had a play written for him by Her
bert Hall Winslow, which those who are
well informed say Is framed about the
character of the Indiana village orator
depicted in James Whitcomb Riley's IA

as his first assistant until October 1903
In October, Frank c. Bowen will sue

Then it is likely that John Wright will
be appointed % the place of assistant
under Bowen and w. S. Eberle, now
the first assistant in the county treas

clerk John Wright, who has served in
the county clerks office for 1S years. is
thoroughly fitted for important positions
in eitser the clerks or treasurer's office
The two offices have considerable busi-
ness in common. Treasurer-elect Bowen
intends to have competent force and
he can make no better selection than
that os Wright. A. Newman will have
men in Eherle and Wright who have
proved their competency and who are
in every way fitted for the work.
The county commissioners have much
to do directly with both the clerks and
treasurer's offices. and the board is anx.
ious that Wright and Eberle be re-
tanned. This plan does not suit the poll
ttcians. who think the jobs should be
handed around whether the ones .hey
are handed to are fitted for the llaces
or not. but the public. whose interests
are to be cared for. will be satisfied with
the arrangement.
