STARTED THE MOVEMENT.
niellinomi Cha?ner First Petitioned
the Legislature.
A committee from the Richmond Chap?
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, con?
sisting of twelve well known ladies of
Richmond, has sent io The Times a com?
munication, requesting that it be stated
that the Richmond Chapter took the
Initiative in the movements to petition the
Legislature to make the birthday of Pres?
ident Jefferson Davis a State holiday. The
Times printed in its issue of Friday last
lh.it the action of the Legislature was
tile result of a petition made by the Sev?
enteenth Virginia Regiment Chapter.
The Richmond Chapter at a meeting-held
January IS, 10?0, adopted resolutions ap?
pointing a committee for the purpose of
haying President Davis' birthday pro?
claimed a State holiday, thus starting the
movement. The action of the other chap?
ters was taken shortly afterwards.
THE POISON MYSTERY.
Ilenrico Police Trying? io Apprehend
the Poisoner.
The poison caso, of which The Times
grave a full account yesterdr-y, is stili
a deep mystery so far as the kind of
poison used and the discovery of the
poisoner arc concerned@
Th? Henrico authorities have been ap?
prised of the case, and have sent out a
man for Uie purpose of locating a negro
man who was recently employed by Mrs. j
Frommer, but whom she discharged be- |
cause of his unruly temper. It is be- ?
lie\-ed that he had a grudge against the :
entire household and wanted to put ?
them out of tlte way.
The poison could have been put in the ,
bread, as the Hour and meal were never j
locked up, and the would-be murder?r j
could h?ve spread the deadly drug in I
either the flour or meal with little dilli- j
culty. !
Dr. Davis lias not completed tho analy- !
sis of the food, but expects to know the
cause of the poisoning by to-morow*. His j
patients are improving? slowly, but are [
not. entirely out of danger, as it may !
develop that they -were given ground ?
glass, rough on rats or arsenic. fCoth- ?
ing definite can be stated as to the exact
nature of the poisoning. ?
Water Decreasing?.
The river at Columbia is about twelve
and a half feet high and is slowly falling.
There has also been a slight decrease in
volume here.
A ? winner of unions in Georgia have
begun preparations for ffc-o next Labor

since, now about three contili, and am
being congratulated on the bright change
in my appearance by all acquaintances.
Not only so, but 1 feel I have the reserve

The particular element which produces
the feeling of strength is the delicate par?

by Nature in connection with fihe albu?

this rebuilding -within a week' or ten

Academy?Monday and Taesda'y and
Tur?i-iiay ila Linee?Ward <? Vokes.
Bijou?Vaudeville all weck.
At the Academy Monday and Tuesday,
with matinee Tuesday, the favorite com?
edy stars. Ward and Vokes, will present
an ensemble of forty people in their new
musical farce, 'The Fipor Walkers." The
style of entertainment given by these
expert fun-makers has no rival; It Is
distinct and separate from anything else ?
In the farce comedy world. The titular j
handle has no significance in connection
with anything done on the stage. Tnere j
ia no 'plot, no reason, no sense, but it Is I
all funny, and somehow it pleases. Ward i
and Vokes have never done anything by j
halves. Their company is always a good I
one, nearly always larger than there ?
seems any need of. ana invariably drosses [
superbly. This year entravagaat claims j
have been advanced as to the prid?c- j
tion from every standpoint. The scenery |
is promised to be excellent, the costuming |
more varied and costly than ever before, j
the comriuiy nearly twice the size of any j
similar organization. As principals in th; ;
"support of Ward and Vokes wiil be found j
Lucy Daly, that vivacious little lady who ?
so long was the life of the New York !
Casino's annual reviews, and whose ?
"Daiyisms" are ever new and a source !
of pleasure; Margaret Daly Vokes. the
talented wife of Harry Vokes. and one
of the most artistic comediennes on the
stage; the Chicago Ladies' Quartette, an 1
organiation now heard out of concert
work for the first time in ten years; Hat

IHE OLD METHOD
Of Treat in?; Piles anil Kectal Diseases !
Now Discard?!. - |
Thou.-ands .of sufferers bear witness to ,
the value o? the Pyramid Pile Cure, and
even In cases where a dangerous surgi?
cal operation has failed to cure, surpris?
ing results have been obtained from the
new remedy after a few weeks' use. ?
Relief from pain is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the
pyramid Prie Cure must contain some
form of cocaine or opiate, but a careful
analysis shows It to contain no opiate,
cocaine or any injurious drug whatever,
in fact it is guaranteed absolutely free
from any deleterious substance.
The old methods of treating piles by
ligature, knife, or the still more cruel
treatment by dilatation, besides causing
intense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be practically
useless as far as a permanent cure la
concerned.
Nearly every case of plies may be
traced to faulty action of the liver, and
it is a mistake to treat the trouble en?
tirely by local applications of salves and
olntmc-nts or by any kind of operation.
The new treatment by the Pyramid ha3
clearly demonstrated its superiority over
all of these.
Tho Pyramid Pile" Cure is strictly sei- :
entitle, both In its composition and its \
therapeutic action, and the best feature !
of it" Is that It is. perfectly safe and :
harmless. No ill efTects ever result from ;
its use. j
The cure is accomplished gradually and ;
painlessly by the astringent properties j
contained In it. which cause the little '?
tumors and congested Wood vessels- to
contract and the obstruction to the cir?
culation to be removed.
-, In view of the Immense number ot
patent medicines on the market, it Is a
singular fact that the Pyramid is the
only Pile Cure o? note, the only one that
is sold and recommended in every drug
store in the United States. .
The remedy is In suppository form and
far superior to any salve or ointment tot
convenience. It is applied at night, and
absorbed Into the sensitive rectal mem?
brane, acting both as a locai and a con?
stitutional treatment. The treatment Is ,
effectual even ia cases of' many years'
standing. ..,
