TREASURE IN A HULK.

Times Union: The Miami Evening
Record startled it's readers Saturday
by publishing an account Of the find
ing Of vast amount of buried treas
ure in the hulk OF vessel that was
driven on to one of the keys in 1885.
The story of the loss of the vessel is
an old one, and runs something like
this: In the year 1885 a Spanish YES
sci, lohded with silver from the Next
can mines, went ashore on one of the
reefs opposite one of the numerous
keys on the Florida coast. About six
ty years since stranger appeared on
this coast with a chart made by one
of the sailors on the Inflated boat. For
years he remained here using every
possible effort to find the buried treas
ure. At last he succumbed to a fatal
disease and the chart fell into the
hands of others, who vaiuly attempted
to locate the foundered ship. 1t Is now
stated that the buried hulk has been
located" and that several Miami peo-
pie are "in the find" The Record
states that mo less than 300 tons of the
precious metal have been brought
ashore. and bars have been exhibited
in this city to prove the claim of the
finders" The correspondent has taken
considerable pains to ascertain the
truth OF these statements, but so far
has been unable to locate any of the
parties who have seen the metal" or
10 locate any of those who are interest
ed in the find.

RYAN WON A FORTUNE.
Said to Have Taken $4,000 from
the BoOkmakers at Gravesend.

Said to Have Taken 100000 from
the Bookmakers at Gravesend.
From his operations in the ring at
Gravesend last week, it would appear
as if John J. Ryan, the get-rich-quick
man, had all the modern turf plungers
beaten a block. According to the story
going the rounds after the races, Ryan
made the plunge Of his career, says
the Baltimore Times correspondent,
and cleared up $4,000 on the day. He
has been backing the book run by
George Consodine in the ring, but has
been playing the races himself, ever
since his arrival in the East, on
large scale. 1t has been said of him
that he could command credit for ST.,
000,0 900 among the membeNs of the
Metropolitan Turf Association, in spite
of the fact that he was said to be
bankrupt when his per cent a week
turf investment company went to the
wall in ST. Louis last spring and the
creditors received a settlement of is
cents on the dollar.
Ryan has been cutting wide swath
since he bobbed up at Saratoga with
a $4,000 automobile. He has been
wagering vast sums on various horses,
and when he put $4,000 on Caughna-
waga in the first race yesterday at
31a to 1 the layers thought nothing of
it. Ryan won $4,000 on this race and
had a good bet on Hurstbourne, the
winner of the Hindoo stakes, but he
did not get into his stride until the
betting on the second special began.
Then Ryan got busy. He went from
book to book, betting as much as. the
layers would take on McChesney at 3
to and finally 1 to 2, until he had
placed fully $4,000. so the story goes.
He was at least $4,000 winner when
big Mac came home, making him
$4,000 to the good on the day. After
that he ''piked along" until the sixth
race, when he backed Irene Lindsey
for $4,000 at an average of even mon
ey. When the Smathers mare won
Ryan sent his commissioners into the
ring to get the money quickly an gen.
eral principles.
E. E. Smathers also won a fortune
through the success of McChesney
and Irene Lindsey. While he did not
go into the ring himself, numerous
commissioners were at work placing
money that purported to come from
the well-known trotting horseman. Ac-
cording to report, Mr.. Smathers placed
$4,000 on McChesney and then made
the biggest bet Of his career on Irene
Lindsey. Some said he went between
$50 900 and 1000 into the books, while
others declared that even more money
was wagered by him.
"Pittsburg Phil" followed in Mr.
Smathers' wake and placed thousands
on both of the latter's horses. With
the public and all of the biggest form
players beating five favorites, 1t was
said that the layers had not exper-
fenced such a disastrous day in years.

MERIT MAKES
IT FAMOUS,
The Only Remedy i'm the World Ex-
cept n Surgical Operation That
VIII Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.

The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists the loudly adver-
tised pretensions of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction;
TO find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one which
will Immediately stop the pain so severe
in many cases of piles, and then by
contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-
duces a radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the infamed. raw mucous sur
faces.
Until a few years ago. no such rem
edy had been produced. but at that
time a suppository was placed upon
the market which has since proven
itself to be the long-sought perma-
nent cure for this common and dis
tressing trouble; it has rapidly become
famous throughout the United States
and Canada, and is now sold by all
Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because
its merit and safety have advertised
1t wherever used. 1t has been adver-
tised by word of mouth, from one suf-
ferer to another; people who have tried
everything else, even submitting to
painful and dangerous surgical opera
lions without avail have finally found
that piles can be cured without pain
and without expense practically. as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the NOM
inal price of so cents and $1.0O per

remedy speedily remove. cause a

sorbtion of the tumors. 1t will cure
any form of rectal trouble except can

DOG BROKE LADY's LEG.

Augusta Chronicle: The Great Dane,
belonging to Mr.. Ben Stallings, ran
against Mrs. Geo. E. Payne with such
terrific force Monday, that she was
thrown to the street and the bones in
one of the lower limbs, just below the
knee, broken in two places. Mrs.
Payne, at the time of the accident,
was waiting for car. The Great Dane
and two other dogs were in a frolic-
some mood and the latter were being
chased by the Dane. They were 60
ing in the direction of the two ladies
and Mrs. Payne moved to keep from
being run into. The dog, evidently in
tending to avoid a collision, swerved
from his course at the same time, in
the same direction that Mrs. Payne
did, and ran against her, the impact
being so sudden and terrible as to
throw her to the ground with great
force and the weight of her body be-
ing thrown on the one limb, the bones
were instantly snapped in two.

CHAUFFEUR CHASED SQUIRRELS.

Frank Weldon is looking for a new
man to handle the big red devil auto
mobile which has started on a tour of
the state to advertise the Atlanta Fair
The man in charge of the machine
which will set out to race with rail-
road trains, quit business at Calhoun
and went squirrel hunting. Mr.. Wei
don says the RED Devil has more
important work to attend to, and fired
his man on the spot. The chauffeur
said he was a tourist out for pleasure
and Mr.. Weldon said he thought it
was a little early for tourists and he
would make other ARRANGEMENTS. The
Red Devil, in other hands, has gotten
as far as Dalton and is expected to be
back in Atlanta in about a week.
Meantime Mr.. Weldon hopes to close
a trade with a chauffeur who will not
quit his automobile to go squirrel
hunting, and if he does the big ma
chine will head for Augusta.

The GRIDIRON GIANTS
SAVANNAH'S DEVOTEES OF THE
ROUGH AND TUMBLE SPORT
WILL MEET TONIGHT
AND FORMULATE PLANS FOR THE
COMING FOOTBALL SEASON.

Harris Cope VIII Probably BE Sc
nEcr VIII BE Chosen shOrtly-In-
dtcatiOns Point TO the Formation
of Very Strong Team-MOst of
the Old Members and at Least Two
of the University's Sturdiest Men
Will he on the Team.
The first practice of the football team
which will represent Savannah on the
gridiron this season will be held to-
night in the yard at the First Regiment
Armory. The House Committee of the
First Regiment has kindly extended
the use of the yard to the members of
the team, and regular practices will be
held there at night during the season.
The meeting tonight will be an i'm
portant one. While little or no work
win be done. plans for the coming sea-
son will be discussed. Indications are
that the team this year will be an I'M
usually strong one-stronger even than
the one last season. One of the princi-
pal objects of the meeting is to aseer-
tain who will be on the team this year
and those interested request that every
man who has any idea of playing will
come out.
Cope for Captain.
No captain or manager has yet been
chosen. 1t is most probable that Har-
ris Cope will again be elected captain.
He has returned to Savannah and will
be present at the meeting tonight.
The injury which he received last year
was not of a permanent nature, and
he is now entirely well of it. If he
plays this season, and it is most prob
able that he will, there is no doubt
but that he will be elected captain
The selection of a manager has not
even been discussed. Until it is learned
what men will play no programme of
games will be arranged. A great deal
also depends upon the success of the
new athletic association. The sub
scriptions to the stock have been gen.
eral, and no apprehension is felt from
this source. 1t is simply a question
of the measure of success.
Personnel of Team.
With Harris Cope as quarterback,
Jimmie and Frank McIntire behind the
line, Landsberg and Gus or Nose
Smith at ends. and Futch, Black Ros-
sitter, Hicks and Artley in the line,
there is no reason why Savannah
should not maintain her rep. on the
grid. Than. too. there are Dan Hull
and BERTHE Sullivan, who win make
excellent men for the back field. Louis
Levy, George johnson and a number
of the old men have signified their
intention of playing.
There are also a number of new
men. Among these Mcneil is said to
be a conner. Hutch Harris, Edwin
Cubbedge and several others will don
the rough rags and try for places on
the team. No one has been guaran-
teed a place, and no one will be. II
is evident that those who play will
have to do some tall hustling to keep
what they've got.
