fected as far as the executive branch of
our government could cooperate with

with energy again upon negotiations, the
result of which was the framing of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty recently ratified.

Fremont, Neb., May Pa series of
funnel shaped clouds swept around this
town Saturday afternoon and moved to-
ward Hooper, IL miles west, giving the
people bad scare. The storm which fol-
lowed their appearance was terrific and
blew down several barns and small build

Williams. In the last quarter of the lat

feet behind Libbs.
Another surprise was the defeat Of

CHICAGO AND BIRMINGHAM
 BIG CHORUSES COMPARED

about the same number that accompan- led the Birmingham chorus. A good or gan also played an important part in the production. The Apollo club claims to have in Harrison M. Wild. one of the best directors in the country. and he certainly did. in my humble opinions train this chorus to a high degree of excellence. The soloists Mrs. Jessica De Wolf soprano, Mrs. Willard s. Bracken, contraito. Edward C. Towne, tenor and George Crampton, baritone, from the Covent Garden, Soudon, were very satis- factory.
 The beautiful umccompanied chorus, "Urbs Syon Unica" was rendered in we'll nigh faultiess manner, as were all the others, till the singers came to the chorus "Pars Mea, Rex Meus." They at- tackled 1t firmly: but the tenors played havoc with it. In the fugue which opens the chorus, they lost beat, and com menced to see-saw with the rest of the chorus. The director kept on way ing his baton vigorously with the hope that they would get back into line But 1t was a forlorn hope; and when finally even the orchestra deserted him, he was forced to stop and start the entire move- ment again.
 All musical people recognize the fact that an element of tuck enters Into the rendering of all choral numbers; and that 1t is only by careful training and close attention that this element is re- duced to a minimum. It seems to me, therefore, that 1t rebounds greatly to the credit Of the Birmingham chorus and their efficient director. Mir.

SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE.
Ten Months of Peace After Dreadful
 Sufferino,

Operations are becoming a fad; every young man, as soon as he is graduated from medical college. considers himself capable of undertaking the most serious and complicated surgical work, and hun dreds of lives are sacrificed annually to this mad frenzy of incompetent men. to rush into work which should only be undertaken as last resort, and then only by the most experienced and care fuI surgeons.
 It is a pleasure. in view of these facts to read the following letter from a wu- man who has been saved from one of these dangerous operations: "I know should have informed you long ago re- garding my case of piles and the good done me, and believe I am cured Last December I sent for your book. I have never been bothered since then, and be- fore I had suffered for the last eleven years, and at the time I wrote I had given birth to a child, and they came down with the delivery of the child by the handful. could not get them back and suffered everything; and the doctor said nothing but an operation would ever relieve me: but read of your remedy in our daily newspaper and told my husband to get me box and l would give 1t a trial before consenting to the knife. and thanks be to your wonderful medicine, was saved from the operating table
 Every person suffering from the piles that my husband and myself hear of, we recommend your wonderful medicine. I just used one 3l.00 box of Pyramid Pile Cure, and two boSes of Pyramid Ofnt- ment and two boxes of Pyramid Pills, and was, hope, completely cured If they ever show the slightest return will certainly get some more medicine, but I hardly think I will need any more for it will be year the sth day of De- cember since had them and that makes 1t ten months and past now Thanking you again and wishing you abundant success, l remain Mrs. B.
