the Senate lias kept him lit the head of lt
committee on foreign relations for many
years.
In Paris the best physicians unite In saying
that one death iu every eighteen lu that city
is from preventable epidemic diseases. Over
A per cent, of the mortality is needless, which
indicates the great mission that exists for
boards of health throughout the world.
It is said that soap is an antidote for nearly
all the traveling plagues that nlllict man

Something more than 85,000 immigrants
arrived in Canada last year, one-third of
whom immediately cams through to the
United States. The other two-thirds will
arrive sooner or later. When we oune to
close our gates against immigration, if we
ever do, it will be well to remember this
point.
There have been many bills dumped into
the legislative hopper that should never see
the light of day. Que in particular is that
making it a misdemeanor to publish tho
names of persons charged with crime until
they have been convicted. Information of
this character, when given publicity, is iu
tho interest of the public. If the bill be
comes a law an innocent man would not be
safe from overzealous officers, and tho bill
should be defeated if it reaches that stage,
Tub Mahanoy City Record cornea to our
table in a new dress of type, and with its
usual quota of late and Interesting reading
matter. The Record is nothing if not pro
gressive, and its appearance in an entirely
new dress is only in line with the course that
the parer has assumed since Editor Parker
became its proprietor. Tho Record is one of
our most valued exchanges fearless and in
dependent in its editorial utterances, it has
gained an envUblo position iu tho mnlis of
Schuylkill journalism. JVo wish our friend
Parker continued prosperity.
The announcement of the death of Hon.
D D. Phillips, which appeared in the Hmt
.u.D last evening, caused expressions ol
sincere sorrow in all quarters. IIo was one
of the most prominent men in Schuylkill
county, and was active in many enterprises
that tended to tho development of his native
county. In political circles, he was known
as a master in the art of commanding and
directing political combinations. Ho was al
ways in close touch with national and state
leaders of the Republican party and retained
their confidence up to the time that the fatal
disease took him out of active political lifo.
Iu his demise the party has lost one of its
"aVflcst loaders and Schuylkill oouuty a pro
gressive citizen.
Bio conflagrations aro the order of the day.
Philadelphia has had bor sharo of tbcm, as
has been the case with Chicaso, Cincinnati,
New York and other largo places. Naturally,
conflagrations are generally moro damaging
during intensely c ild weather than whon the
mercury maintains itself aboro the freezing
point. Fires in stores and heaters are gener
ally kept at full fever heat.tbereby endanger
ing adjacent inflammable material, and when
a fire is thus kindled tho intensely cold
weather interferes with tho operations of the
firemen, preventing them from bringing to
the work of extinguishing them tho usual
amount of effect; re work.
It rarely occurs that any new devices of
r.tscality designed to be uiado useful in de
ceiving and defrauding honest pcoplo are
long-lived. Tho agent of the law generally
find them out, and tho law provides ponaltios
for tho using of them, which generally have
deterring effect. Among those devices which
have found favor with scamps is tho use of
what are known as "knock-out drops."
Thoso drops have no doubt been the agent of
many murders, and of course of many rob
beries. The use of the drops have become so
common that Senator Martin, of the New
York Legislature, hag introduced a bill into
the body of which he is a member, which
makes it a felony for anybody to be found in
possession of "knock-eut drops," when it can
be shown that the drug is carried with
criminal intent. The penalty is imprison
ment in the State Penitentiary for five years.
Pennsylvania could afford to have a similar
law, as itis known the "knock-out drops'
have been used extensively iu this state.

IMPORTANT TO SUFFERERS
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN A LASTING
CURD FOR TILBS.
No aurgloal Operation, No Fain, Trifling
Expense A Simple, Harmless Remedy,
But It Does the Vorlt.
Thrre are some people who have piles as
tnqneiitly and regularly as other people
have colds. 1
Any little bowel trouble will bring them
on, any extra exeitiou, as ill lifting, will pro
duce them, and lu fact will often appear
without any apparent provocation. Piles,
however, are much more serious than a cold
as the tendency is always to grow worse un
til the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or devulopes into v some fatal rectal
disease.
While there are many pile remedies which
give relief, ye), there is but one which not
only gives instant relief but at the saioo time
makes a permanent cure, and that is tho
well kuown Pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple, harm
less, vegetable ingredients, hut combined so
effectively and act so promptly and thor
oughly that it cures every form of piles
whether Itching, blind, bleeding or protrud
lug.
In long standing cares the Pyramid Pile
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
except a surgical operation, and iti advan
tages over an operation are man?, as it is
painless, causes no delay, or Interference
with daily occupation and list but not least,
it is cheaper than any surgical operation
could possible be, costing but a dollar a pack
age at any drug store.
The cases that the Pyramid Pilo Cure will
not reach are so few that physicians are do
ing away with operations for piles and do'
pending on this cheap but offectivo remedy
to accomplish a complete cure, and it never
disappoints except in cases beyond the reach
of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by tho
Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion, Mich., and for
sale by druggists everywhere as 50 cents per
package. Kach package contains a treatise
ou cause and cure of piles, together with
testimonials from every section of this
country.
BUSY DAY INJTHE HOUSE.

Sorious Aotion Against the Fili
buster Three Friends.
ATTORNEY QBRERAL'S ATTITUDE.
the Hi-ml of tho Department of Justice
Orders n Florida District Attorney to
Tnko Itndlcal Aetlou Against the Ac
cused Steamer,
WabhinoTOH, Feb. 8. Attorney General
Harmon has given Instructions to the
United States Attorney at Jacksonville,
Flo., to at onoe prooeed against the alleged
filibuster, Three Friends, under section
4,297 of the revlsfxl statutes, for engaging
lltrfin act of piracy. It Is the understand
ing of the department that the Three
Friends, tome weeks ago, while on a fili
bustering expedition, carrying arms nnd
ammunition Mid a mounted onnnon on
her deoks, was pursued by a Spanish ves
sel, and In making hnr cmpo flred;oue or
more shots it her pursuer. SVhetliijr shots
were actually fired or not, the contention
Is that she was so armed as to clearly
bring her within the termi of section 4,297.
The attorney general's opinion is that
there is but one alternative. The Three
Friends, on the occasion named, was
either engaged In a political expedition
against a friendly power or on a piratical
one. Her arms and mounted cannon fur
nish evidence that her mission was not a
leaceful one, hut quite the contrary. In
any event, tho attorney general has de
olded to give Judge Looke anothor oppor
tunity of deciding Just what the oharacter
of the Three Frlende' expedition wbs. No
ao Ion Is now contemplated against the of
ficers and orow of the vessel.
The attorney general's decision in this
matter was mado after a brief argument
lu a formal motion made by him in
aocordanoe with his notice given on Fri
day last. The attorney general in his brief
statement laid special stress upon tho
necessity for prompt aotion by the present
oourt which he requested, notwithstand
ing the announcement of n month's recess
by the court, ljeglniilng yesterday. Ho
urged his request entirely upon tho ground
that such action was a dlplomntlo neces
sity. Ho oxplalned briefly that tho action was
against the steamship on the allegation
of filibustering In tho interest of the Cu
ban insurgents, and that tho decision of
tho district court for Florida had boon on
tho Information of the steamer. Ho also
oxplnluod that nn appeal had been takeu
to tho clroult oourt of appeals for tho fifth
circuit, but that Jt was considered desira
ble to have nn opinion in the matter by
the supremo court. Ho said these re
quests were mado for reasons of public
policy on behalf of the exocutlvo depart
ment, Involving u grnvo question of Inter
national law, the determination of which
might mean peace or war. Ho continued
by saying that the situation was a most
delicate one, and under the decision of tho
Florida court there might bo a oontintied
recurronco of tho ofTento nlloged nguinst
tho Throe Friends. Ho said thut if tho
oaso had Involved only a point of law re
garding private Interests ho would not
havo pressed for an early hearing.

Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time was under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
specialist said he
could cure her. but
he filled her with
arsenic and potash
which almost ruined
her constitution. She
then took nearly
every so-called blood
medicine and drank
them by the wholesale,
but tbey did not reach
tfher trouble. Some
one aavisea ner to try
S.S.S. and she verv
soon found that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: "After tak
ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is clear
and healthy and I would not be in
my former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying upthepoison
in my system, like the potash and
arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out
through the skin, and I was perma
nently rid of it."

Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure

AMERICAN PLANTERS IN 0UBA.
The Government Trying to Remove Be
strlotlsns Against Them.
Washington, Feb. 9. The state depart
ment is endeavoring to relieve the Ameri
can sugar planters In Cuba from tho em
barrassing position In whloh they are
situated asn result of tho attitude of the
Spanish authorities towards thoso who
attempt ts grind cano. Probably with the
Intention of forcing nil of tho plantation
hands Into the towns, and so preventing
thorn from giving aid and encouragement
to the insurgonts, tho Spanish officials
have surrounded the grinding of cane
with so many and vexatious restrictions
as to make it practically Impossible to
make sugar In a largo portion of the
island.
So far as can be gathered thoro Is no
general or even spoolflo prohibition in
terms against grinding, but under oxist
lug orders tho sugar mon flud It lmpmo-
tloublo to grind. So far the efforts of the.
dopartmont have succeedod In obtaining a
removal of restrictions only upon tho
grinding of burnt cano, which Is of some
vuluo whllo not of courso equal to rlponod
cano, but tho efforts nro bolng continued,
and It is hoped will result soon lu an abate
ment of all tho onerous restrictions com
plained of by tho planters.

THsmow, Feb. 9 -fix-Mayor Frank A.
Stagownn is again Hvlng with his former
wlfo and family. He came to this city last
Baturdoy and, with friends, went to Mrs.
Magowan's home. It is said that the
couple have become entirely reconciled
and that Mngowan has promised to cease
his attentions to Mrs. Ilnrnes. That lady,
it Is asserted, has left the Philadelphia
hotel whero sho nnd Mngowan had been
sojourning, and has gone to her old homo
In Canada.
Tho reconciliation, has boen brought

to deposo him from oflloo. Tho theory U
that this move brought Magowau "to

Magownn's marriage to Mrs. Dames In

that divorce absolute, had not expired
when lie contracted the second alliance .

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR'
CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with rctaid to the quality of his goods, und
the grocer or the butcher who gives us short
weights, Ib a tbicf. However, their knavery
touches nothing but our pocketbook. There
is anothor widespread form of misrepresenta
tion of a far more dangerous and villainous
character.
We refer to tho false statements and worth
less guarantees that frequently accompany
medicines. To guarantee a medicine to cure
is to brand it as a quack product. Ifwocau
guarantco to curo di&easc, then wo can
guarantee ovcrlastiug life, for iu a large
majority of casos people dlo of disease, the
proportion of violent or accidental deaths
being very small.
The Shakers havo always been kuown as a
most upright and lionovablo people, aud
their success In the manufacture of medicines
has also beeu well known. It is thcrofore
not surprising to find them pursuing a very
original and novel plan for the intriduction
of their remedy for dyspepsia.
Thoso God-fcarlug peiple, whose mottoJias
always boen "Try all thinjs and holdfast
that which is good," havo put upou the
market ten cent sample bottles of their pro
duct, or sufficient to give it a ti ial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so prompt
in its action that for tho trivial sum of ten
cents, a person can usually determine as to
whether or not it meets the requirements of
his case. There aro forms of dyspepsia
which it won't help, but those aro very rare.
In most cases the first dose relievos all dis
tress and an increato of appetite at ouie
