ANOTHER CRANK
 AT SYCAMORE HILL
Swede Was Anxious to See the
 President
FOUND TO BE HARMLESS
When Searched the Man Had No Weapons in His Pockets and Was Found to Be Perfectly Harm.
 less-Talked Frankly.

Oyster Bay. September 22.-A suspicious character giving his name as Samuel | Sweenyon. was held up by the secret service officers at saeamore Hill late this evening while making an effort to see the President. He was turned back to the village. shadowed. stopped in Oyster Bay and searched, and later placed on rrain for New York. He was unarmed and appeared to be harmless crank, possibly d religious fanatic.
 sweenyon, who is slightly built, about 9 years old. with a reddish brown beard, and moustache. blue eyes and a strongly foreign cast of countenance. walked up the roadway leading to Sagamore Hil about 4SO this afternoon. He was shab- billy attired, his clothes being badly torn in several places. He was stopped by d secret service officer.
 Sweenyon told the officer that he was a swede and had come from New York to see the President and Sagamore Hill, hay ing read about the Presidents home in the newspapers short time before the President, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, had gone from the house to the woods near by to chop wood that being q favorite exercise of his. The man was turned back by the officer, who told him the President was not at home. Sweenyon, who said he was a gardener, looked curously about the grounds and then started on his return to the vil- lage. He was followed by another officer.
 Sweenyon had nothing in his pockets eX- cept about four dollars in money and I Swedish religious paper On q piece of paper he wrote his name and address in a perfectly legible hand. He readily ac- ceded to the suggestion of the officers that he leave the village. They accom- panied him to the station and he bought his own ticket to New York He shook hands with the officers before he entered his car At no time did he appear to be excited, except when one of the off, cers at Sagamore Hill told him that if he returned he was liable to be shot. He left the hill in a hurry. He answered all questions in a frank and straightfor- ward manner.

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy In the World Except a Surgical Operation That Will Certainly Cure Any
 Form Of Piles.

The study of physicians. the experi- ments of chemists the loudly advertised pretensions of quacks, have been for years expended in one direction; to find a pile cure that would cure.
 The results have been number of harmless am in most eases useless oint- ments. slppOsitores and even internal remedies which the public have weighed fin the balance of experience and found wanting; nearly all of them gave some relief. but nothing approaching n 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 con- tracting the small blood-Vessels (capil- laries) to their normal size produces a radical cure by reducing and finally ab- sorbing the tumors and healing the in- famed raw mucous surfaces.
 Until a few years ago, no such remedy had been produced. but at that time a suppository was placed upon the market which has since proven itself to be the long-songht permanent cure for this com mon and distressing trouble; 1t has rap- idly become famous throughout the Uni ted States and Canada. and it is now sold by all druggists under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure.
 It is now the best known, because it's merit and safety have advertised it wher- ever used It has been advertised by word of mouth, from one sufferer to an- other; people who have tried everything else, even submitting to painful and dan gerous surgical operations without avail have finally found that piles can be cured without pain and without expense practi- cally. as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nominal price of 50 cents and sl.OO per package.
 The Pyramid instantly stops all pain and at the same time contains no cocaine, morphine or narcotics; the acids and healing properties contained in the rem edy speedily remove, cause a healthfuL natural contraction ant absorbtion of the tumors. It will cure any form of rectal trouble except cancer and ad- vanced fistula. which, by the way nearly always results from neslecting proper and timely treatment of piles.

DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
Fitzpatrick Was Either Murdered or
 Killed By Accident.

New York, September o. Coroner Brown who is Investigating the death of John D. Fitzpatrick, a wealthy young Nebraska man found shot through the heart in his apartments yesterday has abandoned the theory of suicide and to- day called on the police to investigate the shooting on the possibility that it might have been murder.

For the Eagle.
THE SENSITIVE ROSE.

Out upon the prairie wastes
Where the emerald pillows sweep.
Rolling on for miles and miles,
Like the undulating deep,
In some place the painsman knows
You may ind the Sensitive Rose
Blooms Of pink, like tufted balls.
Watt their fragrance far and wide,
And each cropping tendril falls
Round grass blade winding tight;
All the plain the brighter grows
When you find the Sensitive Rose
If profaning human touch
Reach its bi-pinnated leaves
Each insulted leaflet closes
All the vine, concordant grieves
Soon the wounded leaf unrolls.
But it quickly wits and falls
Often as child lay
Prone upon some grassy slope,
And in ruthless childish play
Touched the leaves and watched them mona
But with tears upon my face
Saw the vacant, leafless place.
So in life it seems to me.
We recoiI with horror still
From the evils we perceive
But the blighting touch of i'll
Leaves the scars upon the face
Scars which time cannot erase.
