Judge Archibald li enjoylnc the ex
perience that occasionally comes to n
jutlKc of having a Jurv refuse or at
leat hesitate In a mcanliiRful tnati
jier to follow the Instructions of the
court as If) the renderlnu of a verdict.
It Is In the case of M. O. AVobster
apalnt P. J. Wldmuyer in which the
plalntlfl fcttes to reco cr J7.O0O worth of
bonds of the Eacknuannn Stone com
pany which ho nlleges Sir. Wldmnycr
who wxt president of the company,
aicod to kIvo In na compensation for
his Inlet est In the Scmnton Stono
comrany which wni swallowed up by
the Lackawanna Stono company. The
defense whs that Webster refused to
five up his stock In the old company
n per agreement. The plaintiff denies
that It was undcrbtuod that he should
give up the stock.
The cae has been on trial since Mon
dav and at 2 o'clock josterday nftet
upon was submitted to the Jury. Judfrc
Aielilnhl in his eliarse virtually di
rected a verdict for tlio plaintiff. He
told th jurors that there wete only
two questions to be settled nnd In
dicated to them bow they bliould be
i;ulded In urrlvinsr .it n settlement of
these iiU"ttiois. The linn question, lie
aid, was whether or not Webster had
fulfilled his p.ttt of the contract. In
cotmnenMwr on this the Judge said th'at
there wns no evidence to show that he
had rot, while theie was an abund
ance of evidence to the effect that he
had. The second question to be pass
ed upon, the court stated, was: "What
wns the value of the bonds at the
time Whlinnver rteed to deliver them?
The defendant himself, Jtidse Aich
bnlrt averied, had stilted on the stand
that the bonds were worth par. He
would therefore be entitled to $7,000,
court indicated. As to whether or not
Sir. 'WIdmayer was individually re
sponsible was a question of law, the
judge stated, and the verdict would
be conditional upon Ms decision of thlb
reserved point.
SKHUUTON VKUDICT.
The skeleton verdict which the jury
was suppesed to till out read as fol
lows: "We find in favor or the plaintiff in
the sum of , subject to the
question of law, which Is reset ved,
whether there is eny evidence in the
case on which the defendant can be
held individually; also subject to the
legal questions involved in the defend
ant's points."
At 3.45 o'clock when the Jury had not
yet returned it was evident that there
was something askew and thinking1
to straighten out the dl!llculty Judge
Arehbald sent word to tlio jury that if
they wanted further Instructions they
might come In and he vvouli bo pleased
to help them out.
The Jury came in and in l espouse to
Judge Archibald's "What Is the difficul
ty, gentlemen?' their foreman stat
ed In substance that seme of the :uroM
weie In doubt as to whether or not
Webster, the plaintiff, had done his
full duty accoi cling to the contract.
' What, ou mean, ns I take It." said
Judge Arehbald, 'is that you are not
satisfied but that Webster should have
done something elbe besides what is
stipulated in the contract; that he
might have don" more In all fairness""
"That is about It, your Honor."
"Well, you have nolhlni? to do with
anything outside of the ease. It is not
contradicted that Webster fulfilled his
p.ut of the contract, and your task
therefore ceenis to inn to bo a slmpl"
one. With these additional instruc
tions I hope jou will airhe at a piompi
vol diet."
Hut couit hoped In vain. Three
quarters of n-i hour passed, adjourn
ment was nbout to be made and the
juiy was still unheard fiom.
JudgH Arehbald called Tipstaff Hit
ter who had chanre of tlio Jury and
told him that he wai not to allow the
juiy tu seal a verdict and separate.
They would hive to agree before coutt
adjourned or stay together over the
Thanksgiving lecess and make their
icpnit Fiidny morning.
Messis Hums and JIaitln. attorneys
for the defense, objected to any such
message being sent to the Jury room.
Judge Are!ibld said It waa not meant
as u message to the Jury. It was sim
ply instructions to the tipstaff nnd he
would bo called upon to put the in
structions Into execution In case the
juiy dining the nlBht should agree
and want to so home. The tipstaff
would n that event refuse to allow
them to depart. A Jury, the court ex
plnlned, can not seal a vet diet except
bv special pei mission of court. Am
this was to be a conditional verdict
lie wanted to see It befoie the Jurv
would separate so that In case It should
not meet requirements he could send
them back to revise it.
NIGHT SESSION ORDERED.
That no undue hardship mlcht be
indicted on the jurors, Judge Arehbald
declared a nljrht session and ordered
that In case no agreement was reached
before adjournment, a privy verdict
would be taken In chambers at any
time todav that the jurv had framed
Its report. At 9 o'clock last night the
jury was still deliberating and Judge
Arehbald adjourned court until 0
o'clock Friday morning.

PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Kemedy Which Is bringing
Comfort to Thousands ol Sulferers.
Probably half the people who sco this
aitlcle suffer from plhs It Is one of
Hip commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have It for
yeats nnd Just because It la not Im
mediately fatal they neglect It. Care
lessness crtlises no oyd of suffering.
Carelessness uliout so simple a, thing
as piles has often caused death. Hem
otrliagcs occur from no apparent caiiho
and loss of blood causes death. Hem
orthages occur during surgical tieat
meat, often causing death.
J'llcs ale Hlmple In the beginning
and easily cured. They can be cutol
even In the vor3t stages, without pain
or loss of blood, quickly, suiely cind
completely. There Is only one icmedy
that will do It. P tumid Pile Cine.
It allays the Inllammation Immedi
ately, heils the Irritated surface and
with continued tr"atment redrevs the
swelling nnd puts the membrane- Into
good, sound healthy condition. The
cure Is thorough and permanent.
Hero are some voluntary and unso
licited testimonials we have lately re
ceived Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly, C01 Mississippi St ,
Indianapolis, lnd., says: Have been a
sufferer fioin the pain nnd annoyance
of piles for llfteen years, the Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me
Immediate tellef and In a short time a
complete cme.
Mr M. aililln. proprietor of the Grif
fin House, Detroit. Mich., r.nys I have
been a sufferer from piles until thiee
years ago I bought one lo of the
P.vramld Pile Cure and since then 1
have had no piles. I have recommend
ed them to many friends and guests nt
my hotel, every one of whom has been
cured.
The above Is true us my experience
has proved It and I hope It may Induce
other suffcrois to try th Pyramid.

History of the Day
We Celebrate
Prom tho Washington Star.
When, In tlio ycNir of grace 1C30, sturdy
Governor John Wlnthrop und tho Puritan
colonists of Masaichuetts proclaimed
and duly observed a "Public thanksgiv
ing," thy probably had little Idea of tho
Itnportuuco whu.li that festival was ded
tlned to obtain hi the hKtory of Amcrlcn,
Tho Hut Thanksgiving dilfurul very ma
terially from Its 8Ucci-M40.'8, In that it
wns procl'Umcd us a fast und not M a
fiast. Supplies had run shoit, tha ships
i vpocted from England were delayed, an 1
extinction threatened tho "sovernor and
company of Massachusetts bay in New
England." Wlnthrop and his council lc
eidid to hold a day of pravor and abstin
ence, "so that ve Lorde bo propitiated
and look upon Ills servants with favor
In that they have tumbled themselves be.
foio Him." Accordingly n ciler won sent
about the primitive settlement of Chui Its
town, and the colonists welo each and all
invited to take part In tho fast. Their
K.urllli'e met with speedy rew.aid Smi-, c
1 had the noon hour of the allotted day
arrive! wheat, tho long-hope d-for ship
made Its welcome appearance In M.issi
ehuetts bny, the cargo was landed olid
the fast was succeeded by a banquet of a
sort which must have seemed sumptuous
Indeed to tho exiles so recently plunged
In hunger and hauls), Ip. On the thres
l'old of dreaded winter, Wlnthrop and lis
Inllowers f oi-ml what bad been u prospu:t
of fear and pel II chnnged Into one of hap
piness nnd hope. Sech was Amenta s
llrst Tliai.ktglvir.g, as celebrated "CO
.eois ago. Thereafter each succeeding
November was market In the nnnal4 of
tho colony by a similar foatlvul of grati
tude. o
Hut Thanksgiving in the eaily days ot
our history was not conllned to the New
England pioneers alone. Just llfteen yeais
after Wlnthrop's proclamation, I. e , In
I'll), Governor Kleft of tho Dutch colony,
then known as Nleuw Am"terd.im, but
new us Now York, ordered the observance
of a day of rejoicing and thank, "for
tho rest and peace which God had been
pleased to bestow upon His sernnts."
Thus we sec that the least of Thanksgiv
ing Is not, ns generally supposed, a pe
culiarly Puiltau Institution, but Is equally
derived from the stulwait burghers of
Manhattan Island. The next notable
Thanksgiving day in history fell in 17M.
On that date the Hrltlsh and colonial
army, numbering SO.tnjO men, and com
manded by General Porbcis, attacked and
captured from the Pr tich, nfter n llerco
struggle, Port Duiuene, nt the Junction
of tho Allegheny and Monongaheta, rivers
The naino oi the place was changed to
Port Pitt, and was tho nucleus of tho
city of Pittsburg. Thus In a special sense
the history of the grent capital of the
coal and iron Industries Is connected with
the celebration of Thanksgiving day. At
the timo that the Iiritlsh were conducting
Pott Duaucsnc, Whllelleld, the famous
Methodist prcaehei, called upon all his
adherents in London to Join a "service of
praie nnd thanksgiving for the victories
of the English arms on land nnd sea.
Tnls 1'rltlsh Thnnksglving was, we aro
told, widely otcrvid, and awakened n
tt use enthusiasm, not enly among .he
.Mi thodlsts, but throughout all the dif
ferent sects. Whltelleld's idea was after
vvuid on several occasions revived in
England. Por Instance, in 1SU the gov
ernment proclaimed a general thanksgiv
ing for the vlctoiy of Waterloo. Aaln,
two j ears later, In 1313, proclamation was
mad"' of a popular thanksgiving for the
ic.storation of peace. After the Cilmoati
wnr a tlilid Jubilation of this nature took
place.
-o
Hut meanwhile In Now England, what
had been begun as an occasional day of
pious lejolcing had assumed the propor
tions of a tixi d national holiday. In Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire 't was es
pecially popular. There was at llrst
Kicat latitude In reAaid to the day select
ed for tho feast. Governors proclaimed
the chosen date arbitrarily, and no effort
was nude to keep the anniversary of
Wlnthrop's proclamation. Sometimes
Thankglvlug oecuned In July, sometimes
In midwinter. At length, through tho ef
forts of the piesldcnt and prolessors of
lluivaid college, it was piactically llcd
upon the last Thursday In November.
The college faculty were moved to inter
est themselves In the qutstlon by the
fact that tho uneeitnlnty regarding the
date caused considerable disorder among
their pupils Uovs fiom different states
celebrated on different days, mnny of
them lcturning homo to eat the Thanks
giving meal under their own rooftiess
This very i .. Kslrablc state of affairs
could only be put a stop to, said tho
grave llarvat ! dons, P the formal es
tnblsliment of a uniform date for tho
feast. The last Tl ursdny of the eleventh
month suited tho collegians, and, Influ
ence being brought to bear upon the col
onial governors of New England, procla
mations were Issued muklng tliut day tho
icgular Thanksgiving.
In the sot. Hi Thankf-glving, as an un
nual lestlvnl, tem.nkel practically un
known i r.tll, in 1!m3, the cuilous Vir
ginian controveisy on the subject was
precipitated. This controversy, which Is
not generally krovvn, deserves a bilcf no
tice. The governor of Virginia nt iho
tlmo was ono Johns, a parotic and
broad-minded gentleman, whu had al
was entertained ,a leveieneo for tho
Puiltan ani.lveis.ary which was by no
means common below Mason nnd Dixon's
line. Gov 1 1 nor Johns, In a letter to the
stato Irglslntiie, urgently recommended
the recognition of Thanksgiving in Vir
ginia, and offered, in caso his recommen.
datlon proved satisfactory, to nt on?e
Issue a proclamation. Hut the leglslaluie
of Washington's stato did not look upon
the Now Englatnl holiday with favor.
Governor Johns was advised not to make
tho Thanksgiving proclamation, and, as
he did not do so, tho matter wns allowed
temporarily to drop. Hut public Interest
had bien awakened, and before long a
flirro clcbati w is laglng In Vliglnia be
tween the opponents and supporters of
tho proposed southern Thankssivlni,. At

last, In 1SJ7, Governor Wise John's buc

horns and Issued a proclamation netting

caused much aimry criticism, and several
Houthern newspapers declared Unit
ThanksKlvInc wns simply "a relic of Pur
itanic bigotry." In nplto of this, tho In
novation was warmly welcomed. The
