Early Saturday morning Daniel tfur-
tis, aged about 60 years, and a life
long resident of Avoca committed
suicide by taking a large quantity of
nitric acid that he had In his barn for
some time. When Mrs. Curtis learned
that her husband had taken the acid
she summoned Doctors Pier and Berge,
who did all In their power to remove
the poison but without avail. Curtis
died at 6.30 o'clock Saturday evening.
He was until a few months ago em
ployed as a fireman by the Pennsyl
vania Coal company, but the engine
which he had charge of was not kept
in use and his Bervlces were dispensed
with. Falling to find employment else
where, he grew despondent and decid
ed to end his life. Curtis fought In the
Civil war and was a member of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
Improved Order of Red Men, Masonic
lodge of Pittston, and the Knights of
Honor, of Avoca.

CASTORIA
For Infanta and Children.
In All Souls' rnlversallst church last
night the discourse of the iinslnr. Rev.
Frank W. Whippen. was on "Pilgrims
and Puritans." His remarks were based
upon a painstaking research of Iristory
and offered a lesson from the aspira
tions and fortitude of the Pilgrim fore
fathers. He introduced his subject by
saying:
"However remote and far behind the
Protestant reformation seems to us
now, It must be looked to as the cause
of those settlements on our eastern
shore which have made Massachusetts
and New England and our whole land
what they are. It perhaps Is not too
much to say 'that Just as the acurn con
tains te oak, so when Luther nnlled
his protests on the door of his
church, then were driven the first
nails In the structure of the Amer
ican republic. The house was long In
building Indeed. Many a deep cut was
to be made, and many a heavy blow
was to be struck before It should be
finished. Those who wrought did not
know the mugnitude of what they built,
did not know that their work was
toward the greatest republic of the
earth."
Mr. Whipple referred to the grave
theological crises of the times of Lu
ther, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen
Mary and Elizabeth. He then referred
to the autumn, when the Mayflower set
sail. His discourse from this point con
cerned a general rehearsal of the land
ing of the little bund, their privations
and fulth. Continuing, he said:
AMERICA WAS OPEN.
"All America was oDen their man
ner domain they claimed for them
selves. Their religion was their life.
They welcomed none but Its adherents.
They could not tolerate the scoffer, the
Infidel or the dissentor. Their whole
people meet together In their congrega
tions. The reformation was not fin
ished beyond the sea then. Must It
have another champion on this side
the water? To supply one Providence
furnished such nn one in the person
of Roger Williams. He was a Purl-
tan a fugitive from English persecu
tion, but somehow he saw farther -and
thought deeper than his fellows. In
his mind was matured a doctrine which
mukes his manner immortal and gives
religious peace to America. We, like
many other men had looked upon in
tolerance, he like others had pondered
its evil, but unlike others, he had seen
clear through It.
'The announcement of his thoughts
was simply enough. He Instated on the
sanctity of conscience. The civil mag
istrate should restrain crime but never
control opinion; should punish guilt,
but never violate the freedom of a
soul. The doctrine contained an entire
set of theological Jurisprudence. Non
continuity would no longer be a thing
to be punished. The doctrine woultl
quench Its fires their persecution had
so long kept burning, would repeal
every law compelling attendance on
public worship.
ACTION OP PURITANS.
"The Puritans had not yet renounced
Its us? of power in religion. Of course
they did not receive this wild extrem
ist with open arms, indeed they did
not receive him at all. Be It said In
Justice to the Puritans and the soil of
Essex, the Salem church for a time
insisted on his being their minister,
but at length they, with all the rest,
stood against him. Even the church
at Solemn would not avow his great
principle of the sanctity of conscience.
Even his wife for a time deserted him.
"We are prone to say extravagant
things about such men as Williams,
but facts place this man almost be
yond the possibility. "At the time,"
says Bancroft. , "when Uermany was
the battlefield for all Europe in the de
plorable wars of religion; when ever
Williams was bleeding with the anger
of revengeful factions, when France
was still to go through the fearful
struggle with bigotry; when England
was grasping under the despotism of
Intolerance, Roger Williams asserted
the great doctrine of Intellectual lib
erty.
"No duubt the Puritans had much
to learn, but after all there is (lunger
that we with the breadth of nineteenth
century thought Judge them too harsh
ly. They were a peculiar people. Out
wardly they seem cold and austere,
They indulged little in the graces of
manner and of life. In every respect
they were formal and precise. But it
is only the superficial who sneers at
this outward appearance of Puritan
Ism. Those things were merely outward.
Underneath were noble principles,
Those principles might need broaden
ing, but as they were they reached to
the lofty skies.
JUDGING MEN AND NATIONS.
"We judge men and nations some
what by contraries. Let me close by
giving our historians estimate of Pur
ltinism by the side of chivalry. His
torians have loved to eulogize the man
ners and virtues, the glory and the
benefits of chivalry. Puritanism ac
compllshed for mankind far more. It
had the sectarian crime of Intolerance
chivalry had the vices of dissoluteness.
The Knights were trained from gal
lantry of spirit; the Puritans from the
fer.r of God. The Knights were proud
of loyalty; the Puritans of liberty. The
Knights did homase to -monarchs In
whose smile they beheld honor; whose
rebuke was the wound of disgrace;
the Puritans disduinlna ceremony
would not bow at the name of Jesus
nor bend the knee to the King of Kings
Chivalry, delighted In outward show
pursued pleasure, multiplied amuse
ments, and degraded the human race
by an exclusive respect for the priv
illged classes.
Such are the people out of whom
godliness on the one hand, and nsplra
tlons on the other, has come the
strength and the glory of the western
world. Rejolclnsr that our duy has
come after theirs, we must ever look
back to them with gratitude. They
had a thoutrht for posterity. They
sowed In sorrow. We reap in Joy.

Pyramid Pile1 Cure Cures Piles QuicU
Iv, Painlessly, W itbout Danger.
People go along for years suffering
wtth piles. Thty try this and that and
the other thing; from carrying u buck
eye to getting treatment from a phy
sician. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, txctsslve fa
tigue, a little constipation or a little
diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they banish sleep and appetite. No
position Is comfortable. There Is in
tern, local pain and that dreadful feel
ing of weight In the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford tem
porary relief. I tne case Is of long
standing there is only one speedy and
sure remedy. It Is Pyramid Pile Cure.
Even in light cases It is the salcst
thing to use. Other applications may
cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is al
ways certain, always reliable, always
brings comfort at once. Its prompt use
saves mouths of severe suifering. In
extreme cases It will save surgical
operations and their attendant dan
gers and discomforts. It Is better than
a knife. Will cure easier, quicker and
safer. Thousands have used It. Thou
sands have been cured by It. The cost
is trilling compared with what it does.
The Mice Is 50 cents. Most anybody
would gladly nay ten dollars to be rid
of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't It he will get It for you
from the Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion,
Mich, (sole manufacturers.)
