the corner Of Broad and Adams streets
and Brook avenue, on which to erect a
monument to General J. f. B. Stuart,
and plans of the monument were even
drawn and published, but nothing ever
came Of it. The little space was finally
cemented and a fountain placed there.
General Stuart was one of the most re-
nowned of the Confederate generals and
did as much for his country as any Of
that illustrious band, and it is but fitting
that some appreciate ton be shown for his
great service. 1t is not that people do not
appreciate him. but that the demands are
so great upon them that they cannot
comply with them all. y statue-an
equestrian statue-should be erected to

ALBANY. \. Y. November 15.-Bishop
Charles II. Fowler. one of the prominent
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. said to-day to the General Mis-
sionary Committee of the church. in SEES
sion here:
The SaXons are the center of power in
all the world. The Saxon is butcher of
mankind The Saxon is the robber of the
races. but II is right that he should be.
for he has God-Eivelfanission to perform
by one means or another.
No matter what the price paid it is
right he should go about that mission
The English-Speaking people. sprung
mostly from the Saxon. control the steel
and iron industry. The Saxon was a
pirate when we found him on the North
sea. but now he is baptized pirate.
But even II we are the butchers. we
tel! the truth. We met the Indian. He
would not work. SO We scalped him. We
landed on Plymouth Rock. and got down
on our knees and when we arose we went
at the Aborigincs. We got the Africans;
we made them work for us.
The Saxon. my friends is bad neigh
Dor. In all fairness this must be said, but
give him time enough and he usually
comes out at the top.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician ma Patient Alil

To Physician md Patient Alike. -
DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and trea tment of piles and rectal dis
eases recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure
Of piles was the most remarkable rene
dy he lad ever seen or tried in one re-
spect: and that was the instant relief expe-
rienced in all ca ses no matter how severe,
from the moment the remedy was ap-
piled; this was the more surprising to
him, because he had carefully analyzed
the preparation and no trace of opium,
cocaine, or similar poison could be detect
ed.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking me place of surgical opera
easily applied and contains no minera.
or other poisons so commonly used in
pile cures.
Dr. ESterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the various
forms Of piles. but never fails to give
immediate relief on the first applica-
ton, no matter how severe the pain or
discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often aston1shed at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
7tage is the fact that any one can use the
remedy without detention from business
or interference with daily occupation.
Mr.. J. w. Rollins. of Sweet Springs,
Mo-. writes: .'Iss consider the Pyramic3
Pile Cure without an equal: it cured me
i'll less than thirty days. I waited fifteen
days or more to be sure / was fully cured
before writing you. can now say I am
cured and shall recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure at every possible opportunity
because it deserves it.
The popularity OF this remedy is such
that all druggists now sell itat so cents

He kept the big upper room, where

THE GATE OF A HUNDRED SORROWS

round myself here. and got to know
F'ung- Tching. 1 don't remember rightly
how that came about; but he told me oi
the Gate and l used to go there, and
somehow l have never got away from Il
since. Mind you, though, the Gate was
respectable place in Fung- Tching' s
time, where you could be comfortable
and not at all like the chandoo- whanas
where the niggers go. No; 1t was clean
and quiet, and not crowded. OF course,
there were others besides us ten and the
man; but we always had a mat apiece.
with a wadded woollen headpiece, all
covered with black and red dragons.
and things; just like the coffin in the
corner.
At the end Of ones third pipe the
dragons used to move about and fight
I've watched 'em, many and many a
night through. 1 used to regulate my
Smoke that way, and now it takes a
dozen pipes to make 'em stir. Besides,
they are all torn and dirty, like the
mats. and old Fung- Tching is dead. He

me the pipe always use nova silver
one, with queer beasts crawling up and
down the receiver-bottle below the cup
Before that. l think. l used big bam-
boo stem with copper cup, very
small one, and green jade mouthpiece
1t was a little thicker than a walking
stick stem, and smoked sweet, very
sweet. The bamboo seemed to suck up
the smoke. Silver doesn't, and I've got
to clean it out now and then, that's a
great deal of trouble. but smoke it for
the old mans sake. He must have made
good thing out of me, but he always
gave me clean mats and pillows, and
the best stuff you could get anywhere.
When he died. his nephew, Tsin-Iing,
took uD the Gate. and he called it the
Temple of the Three Possessions" but.
we old ones speak of it as the Hundred
Sorrows" all the same. The nephew
does things very shabbily. and I think
the Memsahib must help him. She lives
