The Limerick guardians have unani-

seed potatoes and oats from the govern-
ment which has been offered in order to
meet the exceptional distress in the
Union districts unless it was given as a
free grant. Such a free grant, the reso-
lution added, would be but a small in-
stallment of the large amount of money
admittedly overdrawn from Ireland. It
transpired that of the 35 divisions in the
Union, only 13 had sent in applications for
seed, but this was said to be due to the

was Tried— Mntitjely Cured.
“ Last winter my little boy contracted
blood poison by wading in stagnated
water. He swelled up from his feet to his
knees and from his waist to the end
of his fingers. One side of his body
swelled and he had a hi^h fever. I bought
a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I gave
him the medicine and, Hood’s Pills and
they cured him of,jwhat was a severe case
of blood poison.” Msg. H. Wallstein,
3609>2 Q Street, Galveston, Texas.
“ I have been in poor health for several
years and tried bitters, tonics, pills and
plasters until I was almost out of patience,
and began to think my case hopeless. My
husband bought a bottle of Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and I began taking it. When I
had finished the first bottle I had a better
appetite. After taking three bottles I
am stronger and better than for years.”

Remarkable Remedy Which Is Bringing
Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.
Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. It is one of the
commonest diseases and one of the most
obstinate. People have it for years and
just because it is not immediately fatal
they neglect it. Carelessness causes no
end of suffering. Carelessness about so
simple a thing as piles has often caused
death. Hemorrhages occur during surgi-
cal treatment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages, without pain or loss of
blood, quickly, surely and completely.
There is only one remedy that will do it—
Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allays the inflammation immediately,
heals the irritated surface and with con-
tinued treatment reduces the swelling and
puts the memt-*-------i ------=■

and permanent.
Here is a voluntary and unsolicited tes-
timonial we have recently received:
Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi St.,
Indianapolis, Ind., says: Have been a
sufferer from the pain and annoyance of
Piles for fifteen years; the Pyramid Pile
Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me imme-
diate relief and in a short time a com-
plete cure.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure or
will get it for you if you ask them to.
It is but 50 cents per package and is put
up only by the Pyramid Drug Co., Mar-

Last Monday morning Sheriff Henry
Thomas received information that the
ware house of Wiley & Nichols, storage
men, on Strand and 19th, had been broken
into and four sacks of coffee stolen. Dep-
uty Sheriff Robert Adams was put to
work on the case, and in less than 30 min-
utes the deputy had a negro named Wal-
ter Sutton, who had been employed as
the driver of a coal cant, in custody. At
the -time of his arrest Sutton was travel-
ing across Winnie between 31st and 32d,
with a sack of coffee on his back, which
he was endeavoring to sell to the grocery
stores in the west end of the city. Sutton
was locked up and on Tuesday morning
Sheriff Thomas caused Robert Taylor, an-
other negro charged with complicity in
the burglary, to be locked up in jail.
Tuesday night, upon information
ceived from the sheriff’s office, Police Of-
ficer Johnson arrested an old negro man
named Jones and committed him to jail
to keep company with the two men pre-
viously arrested. Jones had been in the
employ of Wiley & Nichols for a number
of years, and yesterday a colored woman
named Belle Howard was arrested by Of-
ficer Byrd. The woman lives just across
the street from the ware house, and Is
charged with knowing something of the
burglary.
This morning Walter Sutton and Rob-
ert Taylor were before Justice Barry up-
on two charges of burglary and theft.
The burglary count alleges that they
broke open the ware house, and the theft
charge alleged that they stole the coffee.
After hearing the case Justice Barry held
Walter Sutton in $500 bail in each case,
and Robert Taylor in $250 to appear be-
fore the criminal district court. Not be-
ing able to give bond the prisoners were
committed to jail.

There is a large amount of friendly riv-
alry on the part of Houston militia organ-
izations for the honor of forming the
guard of honor for the big 10-inch guns,
which are to be mounted in the emplace-
ments at the east end of the island. It
is the program to stop the guns in Hous-
ton two or three days to give the people
there a chance to see them. In order that
they may be observed to the best ad-
vantage, a military guard will be provid-
ed. The Houston Light Guard and Hous-
ton Light Artillery have each volunteered
their services. Before hearing from the
artillery company, Lieut. Riche had ac-
cepted the offer of the Light Guard to
act as guard of honor. Now it is intend-
ed to make quite a military affair of it.
As the Houston people have shown a
disposition to take an interest in the
matter, Lieut. Riche has turned over to
Mr. Tom Richardson the arrangements of-
the details and a gala time will no doubt
result, as no one knows better than Tom
Richardson how to arrange such affairs.
But while Houston is full of interest
and activity in the matter of receiving
the guns which will remain at most but a
few days within her borders, there is op-
pressive silence on the part of the mili-
tary organizations of Galveston in the
matter. None of them have so far ex-
pressed any wild desire, or any other kind
of desire, to act as guard of honor, or
any other kind of guard to the guns while
they are on exhibition here and it may be
that they will be taken at once to the
forts and the people here denied an op-
portunity of inspecting them.
These guns represent the greatest ad-
vancement in the gun making art. They
are the very finest weapons of their kind
in the world and well worth seeing.
News is expected here every day of the
route the guns will take and the time
of their probable arrival. In the mean-
time it is thought some arrangements can
be made to have them properly exhibited
before being placed in the forts, from
which, under the rules of the department,
the public will likely be excluded.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
In the civil district clerk’s office yester-
day aftenoon John J. Dunn, a young man
25 years of age, filed suit against M. M.
Byrnes, a contractor, for damages in the
sum of $10,000, bill for medical services,
loss of wages at the rate of $2 per day
and other relief, for injuries sustained in
an accident while working on the new
building in the course of erection cn the
northwest corner of Tremont and Post-
office streets.
Complainant in his petition alleges that
on Dec. 21, while engaged in carrying
brick to the bricklayers, as an employe of
defendant, he had to pass through an
open window out onto a scaffold, erected
against the outside of the building. The
scaffolding gave way and plaintiff was
precipitated to the ground, a distance of
30 feet, and sustained a broken thigh and

advance on the New York stock exchange
in the stock of the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad and the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern roads, are
accompanied by a report that there is to
be practically a union of the two lines.
The gist of the report is that the stock
of the Lake Shore, which sold yesterday
at 186, is to be taken over by the New
York Central, which will pay 200 for it in
some new security to be issued; William
K. Vanderbilt is credited with the belief
that by a union of the two lines there
will be a better control of the traffic and
great economies may be effected.
capital stock of the Lake Shore is $49,-
466,500.
The New York Central controls the
West Shore, the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg, the New York and Harlem
and the New York and Putnam. Its total
mileage of track owned or leased is 2394
miles. The capital stock is $100,000,000.
It is said that nothing is to be done
definitely at present. The plans are
pretty well formulated and only official
sanction has to be given them. The con-
solidation, if effected, will probably be
under the name of the New York Cen-
tral.
The main offices will be in New York
and the New York Central directory will
control, with the present Central officials
at the head of the new company.
MUSICAL NEWS.
The pianos we carry in stock are mu-
sical instruments in every particular. We
have neither “thump boxes” nor the cheap
shoddv, consigned instruments which are
supposed to be “good enough for Texas.”
A good instrument for practice is as nec-
essary as good tools for mechanics. Both
time and money will be saved by furnish-
ing pupils with superior instruments—the
best to be had should be bought by those
who can afford to buy them. We have the
Steinway, Chickering, Weber, Emerson,
Kimball and Smith & Barnes pianos. The
Thos. Goggan & Bro. pianos, made spe-
cially for us, have a sweet singing tone
with large volume; they have perfect ac-
tions and embrace all the essentials in
construction our climate requires. The
cases are handsome and of latest design;
they are made in oak, walnut and mahog-
any These pianos are medium in price
and the best value for the money to be had
anywhere. We not only carry the largest
stock of pianos, but also musical instru-
ments of all kinds, in the south. Our
prices cannot be equaled, quality of goods
considered. We. employ competent tuners
and have the most completely equipped
workshop, with largest stock of repairing
materials, outside of regular factories.
All sheet music at half price.

Gallant Act of Private Jones in Extin-
guishing a Bag of Powder.
San Francisco, Cali., Jan. 27.—Battery I
of the regular army has a hero in Pri-
vate John M. Jones, a native of Rogers-
ville, Tenn. On jubilee day he saved
seven men from instant dearth at the Lime
Point fort. A squad of seven was firing
a salute, 50 pounds of powder inclosed in
a woolen bag being the charge.
One load did not discharge, and the of-
ficer ordered it pulled out of the cannon.
This was done, and as the bag dropped to
the ground it was seen that one corner
of it was ignited. In an instant the pow-
der would have caught.
With one bound Private Jones was be-
side the smoldering bag, and with his
bare hands he rolled and smothered the
burning wool before it could ignite the
powder, and to make sure he plastered
some damp earth into the singed edge.

He Will Call on President McKinley and
Discuss Annexation.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.—Bright,
springlike weather greeted Hawaii’s ruler
on bis first morning at the capital. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Dole and members of their
party retired early last night and were
up at 8 o’clock, the chief executive and
his wife taking their breakfast in their
rooms. The president was kept very busy
during the forenoon receiving callers.
Minister Hatch was early on hand and
was followed by ex-Minister Thurston,
Senator Morgan of Alabama, who paid
an extended visit to the islands during
last, summer, and Crosby S. Noyes of
Washington.
In an interview with an Associated
Press reporter, President Dole said: “I
prefer not to discuss the question of an-
nexation, as that would be eminently in-
appropriate at. this time, during the pend-
ency of the question in senate. I shall
call on the president during my stay here
and, of course, I shall give him such in-
formation as he may desire respecting
pending questions between the two coun-
tries. I expect to stay in Washington
until the end of next week, when our
trip homeward will begin. We shall go
from here direct to San Francisco, tak-
ing a steamer there for Honolulu. I cer-
tainly should like to see the annexation
treaty ratified by the senate before we
leave, but we will not wait if such is not
the case.”
The president and Mrs. Dole have re-
ceived many invitations to social func-
tions during their stay here.

A German Diplomat Says the Secrets May
Have Gone to Russia.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 27.—Another turn
has been given to the Dreyfus affair by
the declarations of Baron Von Buelow in
the reidhstag. Le Petit Journal, Le Gau-
lois, Le Journal, Le Solerle, La Libre Pa-
role and L’ECho de Paris all discuss the
matter from this new point of view, says
the Paris correspondent of the Herald.
The statement that Germany had nothing
to do with Dreyfus comes as a surprise,
in faot, is pretty generally disbelieved,
although the Brussels correspondent of
the Aurora, Clemenceau’s paper, says that
an official in the foreign office there is the
authority for the following statement:
“If Dreyfus betrayed any secrets it
was to Russia, and not to Germany. If
the French government refuses to speak,”
declares this Belgium diplomatist, “it is
because it would be compelled to accuse
Russia and compromise the alliance so
dear to the country. Rather than do
that,” he adds, “they would attempt a
coup d’etat.”
Le Petit Journal’s article on the subject
is a remarkable one. It says:
“Europe is beginning to think that the
French governmtot will soon be unable
to suppress the outbreak or keep back
some statement liable to bring about a
conflict.
“This,”,It declares, “is the motive which
has prompted Baron Von Buelow’s state-
ments in the reichstag. Does Germany
fear or does she seek war?
“In any case,” Le Petit Journal says,
“It is not to the interest of France to let
the matter go any further. A modern
W”ar is too terrible to be entered upon
lightly. Although France is dangerously
near the abyss, it is not too late to pull
up.
“That Germany intends to be in the
right is certain. She is taking her pre-
cautions so as not to be caught un-
a wares.”
In fact, according to Le Petit Journal,
she is repeating her tactics of 1870, and
the paper asks: “Is French patriotism so
dead as to lend her helping hands by
keeping up the agitation over the Drey-
fus affair that has thrown the country
into a ferment for months and can only
serve Germany, who is looking for a casus
belli?”
