cLEvELAND's STATEMENT.
Tho Ex- President Talks About His Intend
cd visit 60 st. Louis and the Ru-
mors About II.

Princeton, N. j., April 2.-Former
President Cleveland made the follow
in statement to the Associated press
last night relative to his intended
visit to st. Louis to attend the dedi-
catory exercises of the Louisiana ex-
position:
II have no intention of going any
farther than st. Louis and intend re-
turning as soon as possible by the
most direct route, and yet in some
way 1t has been given out that I was
to go to the Pacific coast and visit
Colorado and California, and I don't
know how many other states and
territories, and In consequence OF
this have received numerous let
tiers from good people living in those
localities making requests based en-
tirely upon the truth Of these re-
ports. It may be amusing to those
who start such rumors but 1t pro-
duces a reverse effect on, those who
are made the victims Of such an alb
surd canard."

METAL TRADES CONVENTION.
The Boycott Condemned - CowardIy and
Uu-American and Employers VIII
Try to Abolish II

Buffalo, ON. Y, April 3-The fifth
annual convention of the National
Trades association ended yesterday.
Perhaps the most important action
Of the convention was the adoption
Of resolution instructing the presi-
dent and commissioner to communi-
cate with other associations similar
in scope to the National Metal
Trades association, with q view to
forming a permanent national or
ganization Of employers. 1t is not
the aim of the association to oppose
labor organization, but rather to
combat the evils that have grown out
Of unionism and to secure lasting
harmony between capital and labor.
The boycott was condemned as cow
ardly and un-American. Members Of
the association were instructed to
patronize boycotted firms I'M prefer
ence to all others and the abolition
Of the boycott will be one Of the
primary principles Of the proposed
national organization.
1t was decided that the question Of
hours was q purely local matter up
on which the association could take
no uniform action. gt

Berlin, April 2.-Germany's new

American packing trade in the

Opportunities
in the South.

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress 10 the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating
an increased demand for lands
of all kinds and prices are grad
ually advancing, as they will for
years to c)me. Work Is plen-
tiiul and poverty practically
unknown. Alabama is supply.
ing coal and iron to all the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor in the raising OF
small fruits and berries and In
truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state 10
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
cts before those from the states
in the southeast. Cattle can be
raised with great profit, there
being millions OF acres Of cheap

VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed by Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening, under
mining troubles which mankind is heir
to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim
is careless and negectful of the dis
ease at first because the pain is slight
and the bleeding may only occur oc-
casionally, or he may be treasured by
the occasional disappearance of the
symptoms And yet If at the very start
he had found a rational remedy to
soothe the Inflammation he would
probably never have had a return of
this irritating malady.
Piles may develop at any season of
the year, and at almost any age of the
victim; the abuse of cathartiCs often
causes this trouble and a period ar
rives when the dread of pain at stool
becomes so great that the sufferer
begins to neglect the calls of nature,
and the bowels are either forced TO re-
tain the feces or are only partially
cleared, on account of the suffering
attendant upon a thorough movement.
Before you reach this stage use
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 sup
pository. is applied directly to the
parts affected and brings about a COM
plete cure, quickly and painlessly. A
valuable little book on the cause and
cure of piles is published by the Pyra-
mid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, and we
advise every 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
advantage is the fact that any one can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation.
Il feel it my duty TO recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles I am entirely cured, thanks to
this remedy Anyone doubling this
