Common Council's Doings.
About the onlv thing" that enltvenet
common council meeting laxt evening
were the addresses of Jeremiah O'Hearn
and P. F. Mofiltt on the Insurance
liiestlon. The former said he was not
out for favors but blmple justice, and
desiied to know why other agents had
necn given more than he.
Leonard Campbell, chairman of the
committee that made the recommenda
tion, said it was because Ml. O'llcain
had made no application.
P. F. Mofiltt called attention to the
fact that he has been a taxpayer for
ycais and that his parents before him
had been, hence he thought he was en
titled to a big slice and said he
ouldn't be backward about asking fur
it all If he thought they would give it
to him.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS,"- The cont .. between

Ono Cause of Sleeplessness That Can
be Overcome.
Mr. Win Ilundschu, of 40th street,
Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa., oxptessos
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: "I take pleasure In stat
ing that I was so afilloted with piles
that for three months I got no regular
hlcep; I became completely prostrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told mo of the new remedy for piles,
tho Pyramid Pile Cure; I put chased of
my druggist three 60 cent boxes and
they completely cuied me. I am once
more at work and but for this excell
ent remedy I would be on my back.
I tuko great pleasuie In writing this i
letter because so many people are suf
ferers from this trouble who like my
ferrs from this trouble who like my -
self did not Know vvhete to look for a
permanent, safe, reliable cure.
Experience with tho Pyramid lilei
Cure for the past three years has do-
monstrated to the medical profession an
well as to thousand of sufferers from
plies .that it Is tho safest and most
effectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or pois
ons of any kind, painless and conven
ient to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at COc. and $1.00 per box, is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes havo
mado a complete cute of chronic cases !
that had not yielded to other remedies
for years.
There Is scarcely a disease more ag
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles, and It is a
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar prepurutlons con
taining dangerous poisons to remove
tho tiouble. The Pyramid has super
seded all of these Ineffectual remedies
and no ono suffering- with any rectal
trouble will make any mistake In giving
tho Pyramid n. trial.
If In doubt ns to the nature of your
trouble send to Tho Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich., for a valuable book on
piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing tho method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish tho Pyramid
Pile Cure as it Is the best known and
most popular remedy for plies and If
you ask him he can doubtless refer you
to many people In your own vicinity
who have been cured completely by It,
to heart failure. He Is survived by a
wife and (wo daughters, Mary, of thl
place, and Mrs. John Itagcn, of Provi
dence. Funeral will lake plaeo Tues
day at 10 o'clock. Interment will bo

ROMANCE STILL LIVES.
In Spite of the Opposition of Certain
Literary Critics.
From the New York Sun.
While Professor Brander Matthews
has been .standing guard ovei the
English language, his older enemy.
Romantic Fiction, has broken out of
the. donjon keep, leaped over the moat
and Is again In what Professor Mat
thews would call "our midst." Two
versions of the elder Dumas's "l.et
Trois Mousquetalies" are to be pio
duced on the New York stage next
spring. We tremble to think of the
thousands of persons who will be led
by this means to make the acquaint
ance of our old friends, D'Artugnun,
Athos, Porthotr and Aramls. We trem
ble to think of the old fogies who
ought to be Improving their minds with
the immortal works of Professor Mut
thews and Mr. Hamlin Garland, but
who will take down their dog-eared
copy of the "Three Guardsmen" and
waste the precious houis even as Mr.
Thackeray used to do. They may not
be able to go to the theatre, thoso old
leprobates, but they can still lead of
Athos, Portlier, Aramls and D'Artag
na Kor the instruction of the yuung and
the confusion of the old Professor
Matthews t-hould show once mote the
I ehsentlal fustaln and futility of thlt
absurd story. He should not neglect
to remark that nobody could really
drink eo much Spanish wine iw H said
to have run clown the distinguished
gullet of Athos; thut Porthos was a
person ot shocking taste: that Aiamls
dissembled too much and that D'Art
Hiriuin could never have been elected
a member of the American Peace so- I
cletv. Then the Infernal lmpiobabllltv
of the fellows! The Hon. Aladdin At
kinson or wime other Boston statisti
cian has computed that there Is enough
,-llnt nf steel In the "Thiee Mltsktt-
I eer-s" to read a whole volume of the
Pnlted Stutes Census by. How much
1 moi o profitable It is to read the Census
I than to read Dumas Is evident to all
I good men.
As to the amount of fighting In this
I regrettable book. It Is Incredible and
disgusting. Dumas should havo made
bis swashbuckler'! resort to arbitra
tion. Then at Professor Matthews will
not fall to demonstrate, there Is so
much motion in tho book that several
gentlemen who rldo the wooden horse
for their liver's sake, scout the story
as a hash of improbabilities. Finally,
I the wretched composition Is Interest
ing, and consequently immoral and In-
1 tolerable.
Professor Matthews should ho sum
to rate 8lr Walter soundly, too. It Is
notorious that "Quentln DurwaicV
started Dun us on his career of crime.
As for those absurd watchwords, "Oiu
for all" and "All for ono." how much
better It would have been If Dumas
had given his years to serious study
1 and anticipated the great modern abra
cadabra of Sixteen to une.

"This Is only one ease among thou

"Time and again it has proved to bo

SETTLEMENT IN THE OCEAN.
Forty Men L.ving on Christmas Isl
and, Which Was Said to Bo Worth
less, l'rom the Sun
There Is no speck In the ocean blc
enough to set foot on where men aio
not settling down uowuduys, if they
think there Is a e bunco of making .t.
little money This is how It happen'
that about toity men are living to
day on Cluistmus Island, one of the
lonelv spots In the Indian Ocean, about
200 miles south of Javu. The Island
Is shaped something like a dumb-bell.
Is about ten miles long and In Its
widest pait has a width of about flvw
miles.
In 1SST the Biltlsh suivejlng vessel
Kljlng Pish was ordered to make an
examination of the iland. It found
an anehoiagii place In one of the lit
tle havs and a number of men wero
landed. They lepoited that the Island
was of little value, und no serious at
tempt at e.p!oiatloi wus made. A few
yeais later It was dls-covered that ilch
beds of phosphate of lime are on tho
Island, and In 1S3S Mr. Andiew Iloss,
brother of the man who owns the
Cocos Keeling Islands, made the join -ney
to (in Minus Island and decided
that nione-y wus to be made by set
tling there, lie went back for his fam
ily and a few men from Coeos and
then leturncd to the Island. Near the
shoies of Plying Klsh Cove a uuml r
of substantial houses havo been erect
ed. Wells have been vunk and fruit
ttees and coeoanut palms planted, and
a small experimental plantation of cof
fee has also been made The tesults
thus tar leave no doubt that the isl
and Is well suited for coffee growing.
In Mav. lust vein. Mi. Boss had lust
Unpen ted a number of coolies from
Java to make the necessary piepaia
llons for working the valuable deposits
of phosphate of lime. The population
then numbered about fort v.
Most of the Island is covered with
forest. Its climate Is delightful, and
during the greater part of tho year r -sembles
a hot summer tempeied by se.i
breezes. In .the ilch phosphatlc soil
the trees grciw tn great height. Ani
mal life is seldom abundunt on aceanio
islands, and Christmas Island Is no
exception. Tirol e are onlv five species)
of mammals, two kinds of nits, a.
shrew mouse and two bats. The pies
euee of the iats and the mouse mtll
be accounted for by supposing that
they drifted to the Island on filiating'
wood, while the bats i cached It bv
lllght ov ing to the abundance of food
end the absence of enemies, the r.itst
swarm everywheie. Birds of passage
appear in the uiiny season, and In
