Foolish Attempt by TilIIman's Friends
to Seek Revenge.

Augusta, Ga. Feb. 26.-Lieut. Gov.
James H. Tillman of South Carolina,
who is in this city, says that, today, in
Difference to requests by wire from the
subscribers to the fund for the sword
alluded to, he telegraphed as follows to
President Roosevelt:
"A shCrt while ago I had the honor
to address your excellency a letter re-
questing that on the occasion of your
visit to Charleston you present sword
to Major Micah Jenkins of the 1st
United States Volunteer Cavalry, of
whose gallant services you spoke so
highly, your words being engraved on
the scabbard. You accepted the invita-
ton. for which we thank you. 1 am
now requested by contributors to the
sword fund to ask that you withdraw
said acceptance. (SigneO James H.
Tillman. late colonel of the LIST South
Carolina Volunteer Infantry and Lieu
tenant Governor Of South Carolina"
In explaining the sending of the tele-
gram, Lieut.. Gov. Tillman said: ut
was with much regret that 1 was di-
rected, or rather required to send the
telegram 1 did. especially in view of the
fact that l am SO closely related to one
who but few days ago was subjected
to an affront which was seemingly, or
at least people who contributed to the
purchase of the sword, think, unwar-
ranted.'

1t is said that the true reason for the
conditional resignation of A. G. SpaldinS
as president, and the consequent Pitts
burg conference and assertion of loyalty
to him. was the receipt of letters written
by Mr.. Soden to the Spalding four. asking
for conference. This was Matched When

AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN
Writes Interesting Tale.

The author of Under Palmetto and
Pine" Norma Trist. ;" -Four Years on
Wheels" etc, DR.. ]. w. Carhart of La
Grange, Texas, in addition to his lit
erary efforts is hard working physi-
clan in general practice.
He writes interestingly of how his
freedom from heart trouble was gained
by leaving off coffee and using Postum
binary form for many years; nervous
trouble involving disturbance of the
hearts action resulted.
ION coming to Texas I fell into the
habit or drinking coffee after hard, cold
rides in my practice or when in camp
or on the trail. My heart trouble soon
became exceedingly aggravating, re-
sulting in frequent attacks of what
was pronounced angina pectoris, a Sc
we're agoniZing pain over the heart ex-
tending to the back and sometimes
down the left arm.
I'm some of these attacks but for the
timely administration of morphine in
jected hypOdermically could have sur
vived but short time.
AT different times / abandoned the
use of coffee. believing it the cause of
my troubles. and Invariably improved,
but as l had nothing satisfactory to
take it's place in the way of bev-
|erage returned to its use.
THE literature of Postum Cereal
Coffee came to my notice and resolved
Ito try it. The directions for prepara-
ton We're strictly followed and 1 found
lit an agreeable, appetizing. invigorat-
ling table beverage. l continued its use
lin my family for the past year and a
half or two years during which time 1

Iage of 81 years and do as much profess
Isional and literary work as at any pc
Rod of my life. can endure physical
exercise without WEAKNESS but with
zest and relish, and have gained in
weight from 1874 pounds to 165 pounds"
The doctor further refers to the wide
spread prevalence of heart trouble from
the use of coffee and tobacco, and
speaks of the advantage gained by pa
|tients when they leave off coffee and
take Postum.
1t must also be added that the poison
of the coffee does not affect the heart
lin some patients but SHOWS its work in
the stomach and bowels with one, per-
haps in the eyes with another, and kid
lneys with another, and general nervous
IprostratiOn with another.
1t is never possible to tell just where
the result of the poisoned nerve centers
will show forth. There Is but one way
| to surely cure such cases and that is by
Insisting upon leaving off coffee and
using Postum in it's place. Postum con-
ltains the elements for rebuilding the
nerve cells and brain. Albumen is fur

BARBARoUs SURGICAL OPERA
TON
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only Intensely painful, danger
Gus to life and very expensive, but in
the light of modern medical research,
and since the discovery of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. wholly unnecessary. If
you have any doubt on this point
kindly read the following letter from
one who knows that the claims regard
ing the merits of the Pyramid Pile
Cure are borne out by facts.
Mr.. Henry A. Brown, S53 Saratoga
ST., East Boston. Mass, writes as fol-
lows: Il have been for a long time
going to write to you about your Py-
ramid Pile Cure. Some years ago my
wife had piles, and always had
them more or less at times, although
much worse after beng married: they
were so troublesome that she tried
everything every acquaintance told her
of. One fine day 1 got Disguised at
seeing such a collection OF pile reme-
dies on her dressing case. and she
was complaining more than usual that
day too l took her to a doctor, and
after listening to her he looked very
wise and saId she would have to have
them cut out. That night l went to
"a lodge meeting and saw a young
doctor there. and he told me of the
Pyramid Pile Cure. l got box and
my wife used them. but in the mean
time she consulted a lady physician
and she pooh poohed the cure round
ly. The Pile Cure did it's work better
than the knife: she used two boxes
and they cured her; we had part OF
another box but she had no use for it
otherwise than to give suppository
to some friend now and then. l have
employed the young doctor ever since

many times for his good words on the
PYRAMID Pile Cure. am assistant
engineer at Trinity Court, Dartmouth

being genuine and from the bottom OF
Ia grateful Yankee heart, both myself
and wife, whom your medicine has

A Decrease of Sl,328 Made in Debt
of The City.
Many Matters of Interest to All Citi-
zens of Watervilie. -

The reports of the various depart
ments of the city are now in the hands
of the printers, and w. NJ. Ladd & Co.
have them about ready for delivery.
There is perhaps more than the usual
interest in what has been done, this
year, on account of the Citizens gov
eminent. The government was elected
as kind of reform movement and
every one is anxious to see just what
has been accomplished. The record is
a good one on the whole although per-
haps not all of the standards and ideals
fixed at the beginning have been
reached.
The principal accomplishments and
the ones that will ever keep the Citi-
GEMS movement in memory are the re-
duction Of the city debt and the start
ing of the City building, which will be
well along towards completion before
the present council is replaced by the
newly elected. A good many believe
that the movement has done enough
when it has built the City building and
that this alone was sufficient reward
for laying aside party politics FOR one
year. The tax rate has been high, II
Is true, but that must be expected in
hustling, growing city where every
Improvement is demanded by the peo-
pie and il has not been higher than in
former years or higher than in some
other cities where much less has been
accomplished.
The finances of the city are of course
the most important department and
the work here arouses the greatest in
terest The following is the balance

buildings found open, %; dangerous
places in street reported by police. H.;

fires for the year, 40, at which there has
always been a police officer; goods to the
value of $4,000 recovered and returned to
owner;s we have had 16i dodgers at the
station during the year; arrested two
men for out-of-town officers; lost chill
dren found and returned to parents. 3.
In closing his report Marshal Earring
ton makes the following recommended
tons and comment:
II would recommend the appointment
Of two regular police to do regular duty.
The growth of the city and the large
number of strangers coming to the city
every day make it impossible to give the
protection needed. Much more work
and great deal better protection can be
given the residential portion of the city.
AS it is now, if the marshal is called off
the street in the forenoon for an hour as
the case is often, there is no one left in
case of need. We have the same num-
Der of police we had when the city was
only about half as large.
This has been an unusual year in the
police department Starting with the
railroad strike. two circuses, laying the
cornerstone of City hall, firemen's mus
ter and the two weeks during the high
water when all the mills We're shut down
All needed police.

with a very fine lot of milk dealers The
report in full is as follows:
Aldermen of the City of Waterville:
Waterville, Me. Feb /. 1892.
Gentelmen:-H Herewith you will plea Sc
find my report as Milk Inspector for the
year ending Jan. 81, 1892.
Sixty-tive persons have registered with
me as selling milk in the City of Water
vile.
The law requires that milk offered fer
sale shall contain at least per cent. OF
butter fat. / have tested many samples
taken from milk carts on the. streets and
from stores where 1t has been kept for
sale. OF the milk taken from carts, two
showed a percentage of butter fat of "a
per cent. and 3.6 per cent. which was the
lowest found. The others varied from
per cent. to per cent. of butter fat.
OF the samples taken from stores
per cent. of butter fat. but in both cases
l was satisfied tina the deficiency was
caused by the fact that most of the milk
had been sold unstirred, leaving the re-
mainder of poor quality.
l have examined, by request. several
samples of milk. and found them uni
formly of high standard.
In conclusion l would say that l have
found the milk sold in the City of
Waterville to be of a high degree of eX-
cellence. Respectfully submitted,

Silverstreet (2.19A) by Nelson (2.O9)
is dead. This was one of the most
famous horses ever raised in Water
vile. and there have been many. When
she was in her prime she was the ter
ror of all in her class and was a great
racer. The mare was a familiar figure
on Silver street, from which she was
named. and on all of the race tracks
of the State. She was in many famous
contests and won a good deal of money
in her career. Shortly before her death
she was sold and was owned by B. r.
Cobb of Chelsea. The announcement
of her death will cause many a sigh of
regret for a good horse gone among
the horsemen of New England.
