BLBBDING PILBS.
And all other forms of thin common and
often dangerous disease- readily curei' with
out pain or Inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af
flicted with some sort of plle, without
either knowing the oxact nature of the
trouble, or knowing It. are careless enough
to allow It to run without taking the simple
moons o (Tiled for n radical euro.
The failure of salves and ointments to per
manently euro pile has led many to helteve
tlio only cure to be n surgical operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life and
moreover not often entirely stiraeMftil and at
this tlmo aro lip longer Used by tlio best
physicians or recommended by them.
The safest and surust way to cure any rase
of piles, whether blind, bleeding or protrud
ing, is to use the Pyramid l'ile cure, composed
of healing vegetable oils, and absolutely freo
from iiiliicr-.il poisons and opiates. Tlio fol
lowing letter from a Pittsburg gentleman,
n Bevorv snll"erer from bleeding piles, gives
some idea of the prompt, olectual character
of this pile euro. IIo writes :
I take pleasure writing theso fow line to
let you know that I did not sloop for three
months oxcept for a short tluio each uight
because of a bad anso of bleeding piles. I
wn down In bed nnd the doctors did me no
tjiiwl. A good brother told mo of tho Pyra
mid Pile Cure and I bought from my druggist
ttiree fifty ceut boxes. They cured mo and
I will soon be ablo to go to my work again.

VIOLATIONS OF THE ARMISTIOE.
Both TttrlM and Greeks Clint-trod With
AttnokM on tho Knciny, I)o.tto Ces
sation of lIOHtllltlos Negotiations
to Tako 1'lnco In Constantinople.
Athens, Hay 22. A dispatch from
Lamia says that white Hags have been
hoisted along the lines of both nrrjles,
and that Crown Prince Conatan'ti has
formally announced tho armistice to
his troops.
In spite of the armistice the Turks
have advanced to Daltze and occupied
and fortified several positions. The
Bovernment has formally protested
against this. It Is said that the Turks
are pillaging and burning In all parts
of Thessaly.
Small bodies of the Turkish right
wing In Thessaly advanced yesterday
toward the village of Dlvrl. This is a
flagrant breach of the armistice. The
Turks have also pillaged the estate of
the heirs of Photladas Paslia, late
Christian governor of Crete, near So
falls, taking away 38 wagon loads of
furniture, burning dwellings, violating
women and committing many other
acts of pillage and outrage.
A Constantinople dispatch says that
the ambassadors are still awaiting In
structions from their respective gov
ernments as to the capacity in which
they are to act when presenting the
note which It Is understood will be pre
sented today, whether as advisers or
as negotiators. It is understood that
the powers will consent to the demand
of the Turkish government that tho
gulfs of Volo and Arta be opened for
the revlctuallng of the Turkish troops,
and that the peace negotiations will bo
conducted at Constantinople.
The boule will be convoked as soon
as the terms of peace have been ar
ranged. Vnntod to Poposo Klnir Qoorito;
London, May 22. The Vienna cor
respondent of The Dally Chronicle
says: "I learn from a reliable source
that the fate of the dynasty of King
George trembled In the balance last
week. Serious attempts to depose him
were frustrated by tli3 direct action
of tho powers. The Russian govern
ment warned M. Ralll in the plainest
terms that the powers were doing more
for the sake of the dynasty than for
the nation itself.'
Sorious Chnrgo Against tlio Grcoks.
Berlin, May 22. The Post publishes
a telegram from Salonlca asserting
that, in spite of the armistice, a Greek
warship has fired upon and sank a
vessel flying a Turkish flag. Five of
the crew were drowned.
8trootimr Itobbor Shot Pond.
Tacoma, Wash., May 22. A single
robber yestorday afternoon held up and
attempted to rob a car on the Steila
coom Electric line. As he "got on the
platform ho pulled a mask down over
his face, produced a revolver and or
dered Superintendent Dame, of the
motor line, and Motorman Wellman to
a compartment in the rear of the car.
They complied with alacrity. The rob
ber then ordered the passengers to hold
up their hands, and commenced reliev
ing them of their valuables. Superin
tendent Dame drew his gun and fired
through the compartment door at the
robber, who returned the Are. Tho
robber dropped dead, with bullets
through his lungs and heart. Dame was
shot In the arm and a passenger was
shot In the leg.
Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman
and merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to say
on the subject of rheumatism : "I tako
pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's
Pain lUIm for rheumatism, as I know from
personal experience that it will do all that is
claimed for it. A year ago this spring my
brother was laid up In bed with inflammatory
rheumatism aud suiTered intensely. The
first application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm

New York, May 22. II. Q. Dun &
Co.'w weekly review of tradp a&ys:
Unmistakable evidence of Improvement
comes In the general increase of com
mercial loans, mostly for eastern mer
chants or companies, though some well
known houses In the middle West ap
Iear with considerable rediscounts
from the south. Not for a long time
have commercial loans been fully half
the whole. The distinct change gives
proof that new business has been
larger than many have supposed.
llecelpt of money from the Interior
exceed shipments (1,500,000, mostly
from the middle west, exports of gold
have no Influence, and only signify the
willingness of Ilussla to "Vay a price
for the gold needed. The excess of Mer
chandise Imports to answer demands
for half a year to come Involves a
greater excess of exports when the
anticipatory movement ends and ctopa
begin to move, which fact renders
large outgoes of gold, leas likely and
gives the country a stronger position In
international markets. Meanwhile there
Is a continuing Increase, distinct though
gradual, in the volume of business. In
demand for products of Manufacture,
and, considering the time of yoar, In
movement of grain and produce.
"Western wheat receipts exceel last
year's for , the week 2,38-1, 18D bii'hels,
against 1,788,980, and Atlantic exports
were 1,C70,818 bushels, flour Included
against 1,302,491 last year, anl for
three weeks 4,778,722, against 3,3S6.010
last year. "Western receipts of corn
were 1,066,077 bushels, against l,lS.".fi70,
and Atlantic exports 2,188,826, against
1,G08,748 last year, notwithstanding the
enormous increase hitherto. Wheat
again cheated hopeful buyers and fell
nearly four cents, closing 3V4 lower for
the week. Corn was a shade weaker.
Cotton once more advnnced to 7 cents,
but fell back to 74, with poor support
here and abroad. Both the volume of
stocks and the condition of domestic
and foreign markets for goods .hinder
advance, and later acreage reports are
better.
The iron Industry has quite an in
crease in new business, though not in
all branches. Part was due to the
rupture of the steel beam pool, and
the fall In price from $1.66 to $1.28 nom
inally quoted, and some good struc
tural contracts were at once secured.
Part is due to a better demand for
plates and for pipe, of which one large
contract for Indiana fields was placed,
and part to growing needs for cars and
vessels.
Sales of wool decrease, though still
greater than when all the mills were
busy, but manufacturers are doing
scarcely anything, most of their pos
sible demand for months ahead having
been supplied. The strike of clothing
hands hero somewhat restricts the new
demand. Cotton goods are without
change in prices, print cloths being
still at the lowest on record, and the
demand Is still indifferent, with talk
of temporary closing of mills at the
south.
Bradstreets' review says: The slight
Improvement in trade Is in the ten
dency of business to increase at a few
cities in the northwest, on the Pacific
coast and in South Atlantic and gulf
states. There is increased buylnc at
Baltimore. Atlanta, Birmingham and
New Orleans, where trade has revived
on the announcement that northern
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
flooded districts are being placed under
cultivation, and that the damage done
is less than expected.
There were 245 business failures
throughout the United States this week
which is not far from what may be
called normal. This total is compared
with 251 last week, 21G In the third
week of May, 1886, 206 in the like week
of 1896, 237 in 1894 and 247 in the cor
responding week of 1893. There were
21 business failures reported from Can
ada this week, compared with 31 laBt
week, 28 in the week a year ago and 25
two years ago.
