OPERATIONS A FAD.
Public Gradually Awakeas to the Fact.
The latest fad In operations has been
the appendicitis fad: berore that the fad
for rectal operations (piles, etc) held
sway. Hundreds or patients were fright
ened and hurried into hospitals, operated
upon and robbed of their last dollar, when
the trouble was a simple case of hem
orrhoids or piles only, easily cured at
home with a simple remedy costing but
llftv cents a box.
"I procured one fifty-cent box of Pyra
mid Pile Cure of my druggist, with the
intention of buying a larger box later,
but was happily surprised when I found
that I was cured, and still have six pyr
amids left out of the first and on'y box.
I have not had the least sign of piles since
I used th's one box. which hns ben about
two months: previous to using Pyramid
Pile Cure I had the worst kind of Weed
ing and protruding plica for over thirty
one years, and no one knows, except those
who have had the piles, the pain and
Misery I suffered.
"I am a poor man, but have often said
;rould give a fortune. If I had it. to be
csred of the piles, and now I have been
cared for fifty cents. I should be very
ungrateful ir I did not thank vou and glv
you ever privilege to use my name and
this letter, when I know there are so
many who suffer as I did." J. A. Wcls

EXPOSITION BRITISH-EI CITED.
Kens of Russian Attack on Flahlnsr
Fleet Arouses India-nation.
Great excitement prevailed among the
members of the British contingent of the
Boer Svar Exhibition Company yesterday
when the account of Russia's Inexplicable
lttack upon an English fishing fleet was
"made known. The report which first ran
through the camp was that there had
been a naval battle fought In the Eng
lish Channel between an English and a
Russian fleet and that some English ves
sels were badly damaged.
Like a flash the news spread from tent
to tent, causing Intense excitement, the
general opinion being that only an open
declaration of war between Great Britain
tand Russia -could be the result. But with
the arrival of the morning papers the true
facts were made known, and Indignation
'was expressed on all sides at the extraor
dinary action of the Russian warships.
vKorzaer Lieut. Got. Stunner Here.
Former lieutenant Governor -George G.
Sumner of Connecticut, accompanied by
bis brother. Frank F. Bumner, arrived in

ner has made from his Connecticut home
for several years, and he will spend some
time In the city. He served two terms
as Lieutenant Governor of his State and
would have been the nominee of his party
for Governor, but for the fact that he
retired from politics end has since lived
In retirement In the Eastern part of Con

Shah at New York City, and Commission
er General from the Persian Government
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
The decoration to be presented to Pres
ident Francis Is the Grand Ribbon of the
Order of the L'on and the Sun. the super
lative recognition of worth and ability.
which is made by the, Shah, and !s the
first decoration of wwlhigh a grade to be
presented to any citizen of the United,
States. Commissioner General Kelekian
was summoned to the capital of his coun
try. Teheran, and from the hands of his
ruler In person received tho decorations
and the Imperial commissions or warrants
which accompany them, and sailed at once
for the United States. He arrived In St.
Louis yesterday, and is a guest at the
Washlnaton Hotel.
The Order ot the Lion and the Sun. by
tho conferring of which the World's Fair
officials will receive so signal a distinction.
is conferred by the Shah upon those of his
own subjects who by reason of great ac-
compusnment in tne progress of arts and
pclence, as diplomats or prominent figures
In the system of government or by
achievements in wnr. have merited recog
nition at ins nanas ot tne ruier. in cer
tain exceptional cases the order has been
bestowed upon Ambassadors and special
embassies to the Ccurt of Persia from oth
er nations, but It is said that the present
instance Is the first recorded that the Shah
haa sent a personal representative to pre
sent the recognition of merit, and the first
time that It has been conferred away from

registered is entitled to a vote. It Is also
claimed that there arc at least 1.CC0 un

T
EXPLICIT MEDALS
Instead of Group Numbers They
Desire Name of Article in
Inscription.
DON'T LIKE THE PARIS PLAN.
Executive Commissioners' Asso
ciation Takes Up Question aud
Probably Will Protest if Ac
tion Is Unfavorable.
Exhibitors at the World's Tair to whom
awards will be made desire that such
medals or diplomas as may bo given to
them should state In plain terms for what
the award Is made, rather than that the
Inscription should give the group and ex
hibit numbers only.
Thej Executive Committee of the Ex
ecutive Commissioners' Association has
taken the matter of the inscriptions Into
their hands for the benefit of the Indi
vidual exhibitors of their respective States
and have recommended to the Executive
Commissioners' Association the adoption
of a resolution calling for Immediato ac
tion. It seems to be a case of whether Amer
ican or French methods shall prevail In
the matter of Inscriptions on the medals
and diplomas to be awarded by the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition. The exhibitors
are against the French Innovation, and
for the maintenance of the American
precedent by the St. Louis World's Fair.
The French "Innovation," as the for
eign method of Inscribing the medals Is
called, consists of designating the award
to have been made in a certain group and
exhibit number, exactly according to the
catalogue of exhibits. The exhibitors
claim that this method Is quite unsatis
factory for many reasons.
Tho main reason advanced against the
French plan Is that It Is necessary to
preserve the catalogues, and that they
must be continually referred to. Cata
logues get lost, and then, they say, it
will be difficult to ascertain for what the
medals were awarded.
What the prize winners want is for the
medals, which may be given them, to
contain In plain terms for what they
were awarded.
TAVOR THE CHICAGO METHOD.
If the prize was for boots and shoes, the
exhibitor wants the medal to say so. and
not merely give a group number. In which
might be some other exhibit of an entire-lv-
different nature. This was the method
In vogue at the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago, and proved to be entirely satls-
jaciory, accorumg to tne exnioitors. quite
In contrast to the Innovation adopted at
tne I'ans imposition or 1SW
At the meetine of tho Executive Com
mittee of tho Executive Commissioners'
Association at the Now York State build
ing vesterday, a resolution was recom
mended to be referred to a committee of
three by the Executive Commissioners'
Association asking that the Sup"-lor Jury
be requested to advise the exhibitors as
to how the medals are to be inscribed,
and if the French Innovation Is to be
decided upon, that they be allowed to of
fer a protest. The resolution in full is as
follows:
"Resolved. That the president of the
Superior Jury be respectfully requested to
convey without delay to exhibitors receiv
ing awards as to the procedure which
will be followed in the matter of inscrip
tion upon tho diplomas, and. If this, as
proposed, is to be a departure from Amer
ican precedents, and adoption of the
French Innovation of 1500, opportunity be
afforded all exhibitors for remonstrance
with reasons therefor."
It is quite likely that tho resolution will
have favorable nctlon by the association,
which meets to-morrow. The association
Is acting In the matter for the benefit of
the Individual exhibitors from their re
spective States.
