Predicts War OF determination
Cleveland, o., Feb. 23.-Rev.
Thomas Dixon jr., of North Carolina,
Yesterday declared that President Roose-
Welt had made himself impossible as
candidate for reelection, and that south
of Mason's and Dixon's line he would
have the solid opposition of democrats
and republicans alike. He declared
that Senator Hanna would receive the en-
thusiastic support of the South. "There
will be race war, representative the
most terrible conflict this world has ever
seen," said Mr.. Dixon. Nothing that
can be done by human hands can pre-
vent this. 1t will come just as certain
as the sun continues to rise in the east.
On one side will be the Anglo-Saxon
race, and on the other the negro people,
with 5000 years of civilization in favor
Of the white man, and there can be but
one result. The Angle Saxon will
sweep the negroes off the face Of the
continent

YESTERDAY was the Hist aniver-
sary of General Washington's birthday,
and today our people are celebrating it.
To the few who have read the Generals
farewell address, and the fewer who re-
member it, the day naturally brings a
realizing sense, not only of the great
difference between the character of the
first and the last of the country's Presi-
dents, but of the contemptuous disregard
with which the wise advice contained in
the address referred to is now treated by
the people of the country of which the
author was indeed the father. Crowds
of pleasure seekers still 60 to Mount
Vernon and look at the spot where his
bones lie, but his wise principles and
just policies have ceased to be operative
in the nation he created and made great.

LEAPS THREE STORIES. Acting upon
an impulse created by the commission Of
asimilar act by neighbor, Mrs. A. l..
Jackson, after slashing her throat and
wrists, leaped from window in the third
floor of her home at 946 North Sixth
street in Philadelphia on Saturday morn
ing. With better fortune than the wom-
an whose example she followed, Mrs.
Jackson was only slightly injured by the
impact of her body upon the pavement.
No bones were broken. Equally futile
was her attempt at killing herself with
the knife. The wounds she made were
superficial. 1t was the suicide of Mrs.
Matilda Mowson, who lived at SSS Mar
shall street, within a square of the jack
son house, which impelled Mrs. Jackson
to try to end her life in the same fashion.
Mrs. Mowson threw herself from the win
dow Of one of the upper floors Of her
home on Thursday and was killed. Mrs.
Jackson was greatly interested in the de-
tails of the tragedy and frequently revert
ed to the topic while conversing with
members of her family and friends.

The fire apparatus never appeared to
better advantage. The three steam en-
gines had been converted into mirrors,
the horses were splendidly caparisoned
and the uniforms of the members we're
tasteful and striking. The engine houses
we're in holiday attire and everything
connected with them was as neat as a
pin.
The Relief Hook and Ladder truck,
which is always in fine order, had re-
ceived extra polishing and looked well.
The Alexandria Light Infantry were
attired in the regulation fatigue uniform.
The members had decorated their armory
handsomely and had perfected all ar

polished until they were dazzling in ap-
pearance.
The different bands of music and drum
corps we're conspicuous early in the day
and attracted much attention.

The agonizing itching and burning
Of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful

head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringwOrm; the awful suf-

almost superhuman virtues to success

Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
IS not justified by the strongest evil

power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent

economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and hum0ur

REACHES SEAT OF TROUBLE
Don't Try to Cure Hemorrhoids With
External Application.

When it is such a well known fact that
hemorrhoids or piles is a disease irigi-
mating in the morbid dilatiOn of the veins
of the lower part of the rectum. it seems
incredible that people afflicted with this
painful trouble should go on doctoring
with external salves and washes. whe1
the diseased parts can only be reached
by an inward application.
The su9Dositories used in Pyramid
Pile Cure are cornposed of the most
soothing and healing oils and lotions
known to Materia Medica. and act on the
diseased veins and surrounding tissues
like magic, giving almost instant re-
lief. The dilated blood vessels are re-
lieved, the irritation Of the mucous mem
brane ceases and bleeding is stopped.
The predtsDOsing causes of piles are
such as produce fullness Of the hem

Of blood from them, such as constipation.
sedentary habits. city life. pregnancy
corsets, etc; in fact, the causes are all
fully covered in very interesting little
book published by the Pyramid Drug
Co, Marshall, Mich, and the same will
be sent free to any address upon appIi-
ca ton.
The general principles Of treatment
are. according to the evident causes
active habits. attention to diet. and
other hyEtenic rules. etc. avoidance Of
constipation and each night the infec-
ton OF a pyramid suppository to heal
and cure the afflicted parts.
That this treatment has been effective
is instanced by the testimony of thou
sands of neoole who have been ner-
manently cured ana by the evidence Of
druggists: the case of Mr. Samuel
Gouldie, 526 AIoyanensing avenue. Phila-
delphia, is a fair sample.
For twelve long years L suffered ter
rible torture from piles. I had been
