It seems to you that that
tickling, hacking cough is all
in the throat. But your doc

cough is often the signal of
deeper trouble in the bron

tissue itself. These inflamed
membranes can only be
healed by treating the system.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The ways andmeanscommlttee which
looked after tho financial arrange
ments of the recent national convention
of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America, held In this city,
made a report of the receipts and ex
penditures. The amount collected was
$1,000.09, and the necessary outlay in
cident to the convention expenses was
?741,(i!. A balance was left amounting
to $.131.40. This balance proved to be
a veritable bone of contention.
As soon ns It wns announced that a.
motion would be in order to- dispose of
this balance J. It. McLean, of St. Peter's
Cadets, moved that th amount sub
scribed by the several societies toward
the general fund, be refunded them.
This would take $30.". The balance to
be tendered Rev. Father Melley, spir
itual director of tho union. City Treas
urer C. G. Boland, of St. Patrick's,
moved an amendment that th dispos
al should be referred back to tho ways
and moans committee who should re
port later upon a means of disposal.
This was a signal for tho tacking on
of amendments. For a timo the work
In hand seemed to be lost and matters
of a foreign nature were broached. At
last a motion to consider the previous
question brought partial system of
movement and the amendments were
voted down.
The drift of sentiment was plainly
In favor of the refunding, but there was
a division as to the best means of util
ising tho surplus. A compromise mo
tion to tho effect that the whole amount
be transferred to tho treasury of the
union failed to pass though Mr. Bo
land made an Impassioned appeal, urg
ing a Judicious consideration on this
point.
MONEY WILL BE RETURNED.
Tho motion as originally made was
passed with the exception of the dis
posal of the $34.40 balance. This was
transferred to the union's treasury and
tho Irritating Issue was at an end. The
Vjprk 33 accomplished thus gives each
society who contributed a pro rata
share of their contributions back and
the district union will receive the bene
fit of the balance.
An auditing committee of five mem
bers was, upon motion, appointed by
the chairman to audit the report of the
ways and means committee. This au-'
dlt committee comprises: Chairman J.
J. Brown, St. Aloyslus; James P. Mur
ray, Father Whltty's; J. F. McDon
ough, St. Peter's; M. Duggan, St. Pat
rick's Cadets, and T. W. Early, St.
Paul's Cadets.
J. C. Gallagher was called to tho
chair at this point. The selection of tho
next place for the meeting of the dis
trict union was left to tho board of
directors. Upon motion It was decided
to offer a prlza of $3 for the best essay,
to be read at the next convention, by
any membsr of the different societies.
The subject chosen was "The Prospects
of a Total Abstainer."

Tho Nay Aug Falls mission of tho
Penn Avenuo Baptist church, mourning
the sudden death of Its. 'beloved superin
tendent, Hon. Ijemuel Amerman, which
occurred on Oct. 7, 1S97, directs this tribute
to bo entered upon tho minutes of the
mission and a. ccpy sent to the family.
When the mission was founded he was
chosen by tho church as Its Jlrst superin
tendent. This position he held when he
died. Ho was maturing plans which in
sured tho early completion of a chapel
for the uso oflho school. Thcso plans ho
has left for us to complete. Wo have rec
ognized In him tho attributes of success
ful leadership. Ho knew how to draw all
classes and cordltlons of men up towards
the high level ho himself occupied. For
all ho had ever a genial smile and a pleas
ant word. Tho children reverenced him
and through his example were taught to
reverence tho Christ ho served. Tho
youth loved him and by his counsel formed
higher conceptions of life. Those of ma
turer years feel more deeply If possible
the loss of our leader. Tho energy with
which iio grasped tho work was character.
Istic of tho man. Having put his hand to
tho plough his look was ever forward.
Ono week ago ho Inspired every one to
renewed persistent effort toward the con
summation of our plans for erecting a
new chaiel. Yesterday his loved ones
gathered In tho homo on tho hlllslopo and
ho was borno away to the "Forest Hill."
To tho aged father, the widow and tho
orphans we extend our sincere sympathy
and consolation. AVo are sad with them
today. AVo can only point them where
we ourselves took to the Nazarcne as the
strong protector through the valley and
In tho shadow. 'May the Holy Spirit be
with them through all tho coming days;
may tho everlasting arms bo round about
them to strengthen and safely keep them;
may tho lovo of friends bo constant and
true bringing comfort and cheer as time
moves swiftly on toward tho end of Hie.

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE t
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Spcclnl Disease.
It Is well known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed In certain occupations than
In others. That each occupation has
Its attendant physical weakness. En
gineers, railroad men and similar oc
cupations suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who nro often ex
posed to the weather suffer from rheu
matism, while clerics and professional
men, In fact tho army of people whoso
business keeps them Indoors, are often
times great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the
following letter Is of Interest to people
whoso occupation will not allow suf
ficient outdoor exercise.
Mr. A. P. Calhoun, notary public
and Jeweler and wntchmaker.of Circle
vllle, AV. Va., writes ns follows:
I had been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three yenrs ago I saw the Pyra
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
11.
I was badly aflllctcd when I got
them, but nfter only two applications
the plies disappeared and from that
day to this I havo never felt a symp
tom of tho disease.
I feel that I cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe, pleasant nnd painless;
soI by druggists at GO cents per pack
age. If there Is any constipation the
