The question of why one man sue
ceeds and another fails Is a problem
| that has puzzled philosophers for cen
turtles. One man attains riches and
position, while his neighbor, who
started with seemingly the same. and
better opportunities, exists in poverty
and obscurity. No man can win sue
cess who is suffering from an Irritating
and nerve-racktng disease, and the
man who has the qualities Of success
within him would be quick to recog-
nize this fact and seize the best rene
dy to eradicate the trouble.
A person afflicted with serious case
OF hemorrhoids or piles is handicapped
In the race for power and advance
ment. 1t is impossible to concentrate
the mental energies when this dread
full trouble is sapping the vital forces.

HONOR FOR PAPAL DELEGATE
Noteworthy Reception and Demonstra-
tIon at Winnipeg.
Sneofa1 tn The Journal. ....Ns-5

tIon at Winnipeg.
Special to The Journal. ,s.'a.
Winnipeg, Man., Oct 27.-The culnnin-
ating point in the triumphal progress of
the papal delegate in western Canada was
reached last evening. Every shade Of po-
litical and religious opinion was repre-
scented In the distinguished gathering at
the Y. M. c. A. The premier Of the prov
ince, the president Of the board of trade,
the chief justice, the leading local minis
ters. all classes and all sections were
there.
For over an hour the throng rushed
thru the parlors and were unable to, find
seating accommodation in the auditorium
for the subsequent proceedings. Five
churches Of Christendom were united for
"A single evening. largely from the desire to
pay a courtesy to the distinguished pre-
late who represented the mother church.
No doubt more than one man regretted
that the five divisions In the Christian
church could not be cemented, and a
united front presented to the forces Of
unbelief.
The address Of the Catholics having
been read, Monsignor Sbaretti replied. He
commenced with few sentences appre-
ciative of the city of Winnipeg and it's
inhabitants and then said:
II see much to admire, fear If stayed
longer, I should want to remain here for
ever. One thing that particularly struck
me in western Canada is that this vast
region will. in all human probability, be
the home Of millions Of people from all
parts of the world. OF course these set
tiers will be Of many different rationale
ties and various creeds. The great prob
lem Is how to assirniate all these different
elements how to weld them into one har-
monious whole.
I'm order to solve this problem it is
evident that most important factor will
he frinnH1y of fol fny, fo.
tional peculiarities and beliefs, together
with a strong desire to do justice to ALL"

afternoon

COSTLIER BUILDINGS
The Yearly Record at Winnipeg Con
trasted Since 1eo0-1.

traSted since 19UO-7.
Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 27.-The building
permits issued up to Aug. 16, 1903, exceed
in value the permits issued for the CORE
spending dates of 1901 and 1902 by $685.
700. This was shown by the report of
the building Inspector. which was made
to the fire, water and light committee last
night 'E 40
During the three years stated the total
number Of permits issued was 1857 against
a total of lib for this year, but the value
Of the buildings has been much greater
this year. In 1900 the total permits is
sued up to Aug. 26, was 46O, with total
value of $1,2S9,750. In 1901 the total per-
mits issued were COZ with a value Of
$1,67S, 900. In 1902 the permits issued were
sos with value of $685., $50. This year
the total number of permits issued to Aug
rs, is 1.113, with an estimated value Of
1922, 400.
The great increase in the average value
OF the buildings this year furnishes a. good
idea Of the rapid strides which Winnipeg
is making in building. In 1900 the aver
age value of the buildings for which per-
mits were issued was $2,S03. In 1901 the
average was slightly smaller, amounting
to s2,7S7, but showed recovery in 1902,
amounting In that year to $3.50. This
year the average has almost doubled,
amounting to $4,961.
This marked increase has been largely
due to the number Of warehouses which
have been erected this season.

MITCHELL'S BOOK IS OUT
In It the Labor Leader Considers
the Problems and Duties Of
Unionism.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-The book Of Johr
Mitchell on the problems, purpose.
and ideas of organized labor is now
on the market.
Mr.. Mitchell realizes the tremen.
dous scope of his subject, and in fifty
one chapters discusses production
consumption, wages, economic thee.
ries, practical work and methods. AS
the philosophy of trades unionism and
its history come in for attention also
the task Of the author involved great
deal of research. @
Mitchell claims the labor problem
can never be solved by the benevolence
of employers, but only by their justice
and the recognition Of the rights of
workingmen. He believes that in the
coming years the making of trade
agreements between employer and en-
ploye will become more general in the
United States. A chapter is devoted
to the non-unionist, which is of great
interest, owing to the recently inau-
gurated policy Of employers in favor
of the open shop. IL

mall Charge In Court.
New York, Oct 27.-The trial Of Sam
Parks, the walking delegate who has al
ready been convicted on one of the extor-
tion charges against him, was begun yes
terday before Judge Newburger, Parks
Is accused Of having extorted $500 from
Louis Schmidt as the. price Of calling off
a strike on a new building.
Mr.. Osborne moved for a postponement
on the ground that he believed his client,
Parks, could not obtain fair and impair
tial trial: that the case should not be
called until the court of appeals had ren-
dered a decision on a certificate Of rea-
sonable doubt, the issuance of which re-
leased Parks from Sing Sing, and that
the health of the defendant is such that
counsel could not properly consult with
him. ~. ~
Mr.. Osborne produced affidavits from
prominent physicians to the effect that
Parks is, suffering from tuberculosis Of
both lungs, and each Of the defendants
lawyers presented affidavits Of a similar
character. Judge Newburger however.
denied the motion for continuance and
directed that the trial proceed.

That there is no Sign of
Its Return.

There Is not one sign Of it's return
on our child. The disease was SO bad
that until we started to use the Cuti-
cura Remedies we had friends call at
the house to find out If it were so and
we showed the boy to them. Not only
has it done him the world of good but T
myself had the eczema on my body and
the scales would peel of. I used the
Cuticura Remedies and have not got q
speck OF it on my body. So the only
answer we can honestly give for the
, Cuticura Remedies is they are what you
say they are. II any one would like to
be convinced Of the fact they can write
mo and will only be too glad to
answer the same"
Complete treatment for every hui
mour, consisting OF Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin, Cuticura Ointment, to
heal the skin, and Cuticura ResolYent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood, may

THE FOOL WHO WON.
Horace Greelcy's First Experience
In New York CITY,

Horace Greelcy's First Experience
In New York City.
When Horace Greeley first went to
New York city, a green, awkward
country boy. he met with discourage
ment. For two days l. a. tramped the
streets, visiting two-thirds of the print
ing offices in the town and always re-
eeiving cold refusal of his services.
His biographer, Mr.. w. A. Linn, says
that by Saturday night Greeley was
satisfied that the city offered him no
hope Of living. He decided to leave
for the country on Monday, before his
last dollar was gone
1t happened that some acquaintances
Of his landlord, who called on Sunday,
told him of an office where a compos-
1tor was wanted. Greeley went there
Monday morning before the place was
| open. His appearance was so uncouth
that he would have been rejected there
also If the foreman had not had diff
Guilty in getting a compositor for a
piece of work he wanted DONE
This was setting up small New
| Testament with narrow columns, the
text interspersed with references to
| notes marked in Greek and other un-
usual characters. So complicated was
| the task and so little could the COM
| position earn at it that several men had
abandoned the work almost as soon as
they had begun it.
| The foreman offered the work to
Greeley, believing that in half day
the boy would prove himself incapable
of performing it. When the proprietor
saw Greeley at work he asked the fore
man why he hired that fool and said,
PAY him off tonight.'
But the foreman did not pay him off.
This boy had worked on a New Eng
land farm, had cut wood in the winter
cold and in summer had worked in the
fields under the noon sun. He was not
afraid Of toll. He set that Testament
When the foreman examined the first
proof he found that Greeley had set
more type and set it better than any
one else WHO had tried
