TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is
give IL trial but because they find 1t
too great tax on their credulity to be-
lieve that the published letters bearing
testimony to the merit of this remedy
are genuine and bona tde; especially TO
those who have realized the suffering in
cident to piles is it Incredible that any
one who has been afflicted twenty five
and thirty years with the worst forms OF
protrudiDg and bleeding piles should be
cured by the application of a simple rem
edy, when their physician has assured
them that the only relief is in surgical
operation. This is rightfully viewed with
dread by all those afflicted, as it means
at the least a great shock to the nervous
system, with more than a possibility Of
utter collapse and death; in the majority
of cases. toe, there is return of the
complaint owing to the fact that the
cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a single published
testimonial to be not genuine and unso-
licited: this latter feature is most graft
flying, inasmuch as these letters are writ
ten solely out of gratitude and with the
hope that those who are afflicted as the
writers have been may learn that relief
is at hand, at comparatively trifllng
expense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale
by druggists at fifty cents a package. or
will be mailed by the makers to any ad-
dress. upon receipt of price.
Mr.. William Lichtenwalter head OF the
largest printing house in Canton, Ohio,
says: at is with the utmost pleasure
and satisfaction that | can say | believe

piles, after suffering more than twenty

Master Painters Association Contradicts
Story of Lockout.

SlUIy VI LOCKOUT.
The statement published relative to the
labor lockout of the painters has been
denied by the officials of the Master
Painters Association, as was also the
statement that the Master Painters had
signed contract to work their men ten
hours day. Mr.. c. MacnichoI. secretary
Of the Master Painters Association. when
seen yesterday said:
THE action taken by the Master Paint
ers' Association was to protect patrons
from the trouble and annoyance caused
by having two organizations of Journey
men painters.
The Brotherhood of Painters has
national organization of $4,000 and is
animated with the Federation of Labor
and also the building trade section of the
Central Labor Union.
The whole purpose of the association
IN entering into contract with the
brotherhood of Painters was to have unity
OF labor and freedom from boycotts."

is absolutely no difficulty of any nautre

GOVERNORS READY TO ACT ON
CHANGE OF INAUGURAL DATE

cry; New Hampshire, Chester b. Jordan
Michigan, A. T. Bliss; West Virginia AL
! bert B. White, and Delaware, John HUM
| The local members of the committee
/ have all accepted, as follows: Lieut.. Gen
/ Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army;
Admiral George Dewey, of the navy; Mr..
John Joy Edison, chairman OF the in
augural committee of 1901 Justice John
NJ. Harlan, of the United States Supreme
Court; Commissioner Henry B. F. Macfar-

Mr.. Thomas ". Smith, president of the

ward.
Origin of This Movement.
The national committee now being or
gaDiZed is the outcome of a resolution
passed by the last inaugural committee
prior to its final adjournment. That res
olution recited the fact that change in
the date of the Inauguration of the Pres
dent of United States had long been
deemed a most desirable reform and re-
quested the District Commissioners to un-
dertake the appointment and organization
of committee having the proposed
change for its purpose.
Commissioner Macfarland, as president
of the Board, took the matter in hand
and after consulting with Chairman Ed
son of the Inaugural Committee. the
personnel of the national body was de-
cided upon. AS the States will have
largely to do with the necessary amend
ment to the Constitution, it was thought
that the Governors OF the various States
should form the main body of the COM
mittee.
Letters of Invitation Issued
Letters of invitation were accordingly
sent to the State Executives, and the re-
sponses so far received by the Commission
ers have been framed with expressions of |
the heartiest approval of the project. |
The Governors heard from have stated !
as a rule that they have long thought !
there should be change of date, and |
are ready and willing to do all in their |
power to bring about the desired read
justment.
The Commissioners are much encour- |
aged at the success met in their prelini-
nary efforts and feel that at last the
much discussed and long desired change
is about to be effected. The passage of
the Hoar resolution by the Senate, they
think, simpliies matters great deal, and
1t is believed that it is only necessary TO
properly present the matter to the House
and have someone chamnion the resolution
to secure the speedy concurrence of the
lower branch of Congress.

AS a merchant prince and philanthro-
pist Mr.. Rouss enjoyed 4 fame that was

In many respects he was one of the

he promptly sacrificed to5the Confederate
cause. devoting all his means to the en-

ton was first inaugurated, the ceremony
taking place in New York
For reasons of state, as well as for the
convenience of those arranging for the
Inauguration, and those desiring to attend
it, it has been deemed wise by many to fix
a given day of the week in order that there
may be no further danger of inauguration
day falling on Sunday. with the ensuing
perplexity as TO who is in authority on
that day.
The Senate has twice before passed a
resolution calling for a change in the
date of the Inauguration, but the move
mont has failed in the House because OF
a lack of concerted action. The com
mittee now in process of organization will
decide upon the manner in which the mat
ter shall be Immediately brought to the
attention of the House.
An effort will be made to have Congress
act finally upon the matter at this ses-
sion, so that during the recess the rati
fication of the necessary number of States
may be obtained.
Congress to Act.
The Governors will probably present the
matter to the State Legislature by means
of special messages on the subject.
II the House concurs in the Senate
resolution before adjourning in the sum
mer. the Governors will ask the Legisla-
lures to ratify the proposed amendment
In case the House fails to act, the Gov
ernors will probably bring the matter to
the attention of the State Legislatures
and have the States join in a petition to
Congress for the readjustment of the date
OF inauguration. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that before the time set for the
next President to take the chair the date
will be changed and a long discussed and
generally approved reform will be in eff
feet.
