MRS. FAIRS HEIRS
Seem to Want All They Can Get of the
Fair Estate.

New York, Feb. 9.-The relatives of
Mrs. Charles D. Fair, who with her
husband was killed in an automobile
accident in France, last August, have
commenced an action here to set aside
an agreement which was entered into
with Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs and Mrs.
Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Charles
Fair. not to begin contest over the
estate. BY the agreement Mrs. Nelson
wa, to receive $125,O00 and her daugh-
ter's jewelry, valued at 100000.
1t was said at the time that under
the California laws Mr.. Fair outlived
his wife and therefore his relatives
were entitled to his estate, estimated
at $6.000,O00. Mrs. Fairs relatives now
say they are prepared to prove that she
lived 80 minutes longer than her hus
band. and as he had executed will
leaving his entire estate to her they are
entitled to the whole of it..
Besides filing the complaint, counsel
for the Nelson family filed a lis pendens
against property on Riverside drive
and 18th street in this city, which they
claim was the private property of Mrs.
Fair. They also claim furniture,
clothing, silverware, jewelry, bonds
and securities and real estate in San

The plaintiffs allege that when the
defendants offered the settlement which
was accepted they we'll knew that Mrs.
Fair outlived her husband and that the
statement that she died before was
made to defraud them of the estate.

VITAL FORCE
Is crushed ox chronic TroubIes.

| One of the most weakening, UNDER
mining troubles, which mankind is heir
to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim
is careless and neglectful of the disease
at first because the pain is slight and
the bleeding may only occur OCCASION
ally. or he may be treasured by the oc-
casional disappearance of the symp-
toms. And yet If at the very start he
had found a rational remedy to soothe
the inflammation, he would probably
never have had return of the irrita-
ting malady.
Piles may develop at any season or
the year, and at almost any age of the
Vlctim' the abuse of cathartics often
causes this trouble. and a period arrives
when the dread of pain at stool becomes
SO great that the sufferer begins to neg
iect the calls of nature, and the bowels
are either forced to retain the feces or
are only partially cleared on account of
the suffering attendant upon q thor
ough movement.
Before you reach this stage use a
remedy which removes the cause
thereby Graduating the disease, and
that is the Pyramid Pile Cure which is
sold by all druggists at fifty cents a
package; it is in the form of a supposi-
tory, is applied directly to the parts af-
fected and brings about complete
cure, quickly and painlessly. A valu-
able little book on the cause and cure of
piles is published by the Pyramid Drug
Co, Marshall, Mich, and we advise ev-
cry sufferer to send for copy of it.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important adj
vantage is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation.
II feel it my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
ten years with most distre ssing form
of Piles I am entirely cured, thanks to
this remedy. Anyone doubling this
can write to Margaret Brady, 1876 Whit
man ST., Cleveland Ohio Feb. 1913.

GROVER is RIGHT!
He Has a Sensible Idea Re-
garding the Presidency.
Cannot See How the Public Could
Want Him to Run
And "Twixt You and Me" the Public
Does Not.

Cincinnati. o., Feb. 9.-In response to
a direct inquiry as to whether he was

lowing has been received from express
ident Grover Cleveland:
Princeton, Feb. 6, 1903.
ITO the Editor of the Times-Star,

Dear sir:-I have received your let
ter of the 4th instant asking on behalf
of the Times-Star for an expression re-
garding my intentions as related to the
next Democratic nomination for the
Presidency. 1 cannot possibly bring
my mind to the belief that a condition
or sentiment exists that makes any ex-
preston from me on the subject Of the
least Importance.
Yours very truly,

PERHAPS
YOU KN0Wp
What is the Secret of One
Mans Success Where
T. Another Fails.

That the glory of man lies in his
strength. Virile, energetic power and
vitality are what make success possible,
and just SO surely does disappoint-
ment and failure wait on weakness
and debility. g The strong prevail,
the weak are forced to the wall, is
living truth, echoing despair in the
heart of him who knows that he is
physically and nervously weak.
And right here lies the essence of
the whole question. He knows his
weakness and fully realizes that earth
holds no place for weddings. He
knows he must be cured, and feels in
his soul that there ought to be cure,
something to rebuild, renew, reinvigor-
ate. But he has failed to be cured
and has lost courage. It is sheerest
folly to give up hope, for the cure
is sure, positive, and certain under
the skilled advice and treatment of
DIR. Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass. Consult the Doctor and his
staff of able physicians, all expert
enced specialists in chronic diseases of
the blood and nerves, and the wonder
full treatment which for years has been
restoring health and vigor to thousands
OF men and women, will place you
again in the ranks of the successful.
Consultation is entirely and abso-
lutely free whether you call at the
Office or write about your case. Why
delay why not write at once and
receive confidential letter telling you
all about your case and just what to
do to be restored to sound and vigorous
health. All is confidential, and the
reply to your letter will be in sealed
envelope without imprint of any kind
consultation and advice free.

son Have Hard Fight,

Boston, Feb. 9.-Larry Temple of
New York, and Young Peter Jackson of
California, fought 10 hard rounds to a
draw before the Health and Physical
Club. tonight. Bill Daily was the ref
cree and at the end of the bout he said
that while the club rules called for q
decision after bouts. in this match AL
Hereford. manager of Jackson, insist
ed that if his man went into the ring
and both men We're on their feet a
draw must be given. Accordingly ne
announced draw, greatly displeasing
the audience. which yelled Temple"
On points, the bout looked clearly in
Temples favor. He found no difficulty
in landing on Jackson and was contin-
uaIly on the aggressive. Jackson was
inclined to clinch and the referee finally
gave UP in his efforts to make the men
break clean. Temple floored Jackson
in the third round and in addition gave
him a bad drubbing in the sixth and
seventh rounds. Jackson took the pun
ishment well, but the crowd showed
their disapproval of his style of fight
ing.
At the Essex A. c., George McFad-
den of New York, could not be pre-
vailed upon to go up against Patsy
Sweeney Of Manchester, and Belffeld
Walcott was substituted for eight
rounds. a draw resulting. The hitch
in the first place was over McFadden's
claim that Sweeney would not weigh
in at the place agreed upon and then
McFadden refused to box. The substi-
tute bout was a hot one from start to
finish and a draw was well received.
In the preliminaries, Tommy English of
Philadelphia, beat "Scotty" Coyne of
Manchester. N. H., in six rounds.
