They were met at tbe station by Brigadier Oeneral Fielding, and repaired Im mediately to his home la Rogers Park, whre they will remain as his guests la the city.

It Is stated that while la the city, Mrs. Booth will epea aa Institution similar to Hope hall la Mew be devoted te the welfare of discharged prisoners. 'Hope hall has msde Its influence felt throughout New York, due te Its efforts to secure employment for discharged prisoners, aad to lead them lata paths ef righteousness. Mrs. Booth's heart Is la the prison work, and she decided te spend Easter Sunday la the Jollet She left for tbat city last alght.

and will today sing her songs of lovs and preach her gospel to the prisoners. For this reason she was sot at the meeting held by the Oom- maader, at Pilgrim Temple Baptist church, No.i2 North Learltt street, last Bight Meet la la Pilaris Ckarelk. At this meeting a packed house greeted the eommaader. aad he was cheered to the echo apoa esteiing the hall, with Brigadier General aad Mrs. Fielding.

Ia ths style of the Volnnteers General Fielding stated that Com mander Booth waa aa expert ea the concertina, and aaked all those la favor ef opening the meeting by selections from tbe eom maader ea that Instrument to signify tbelr desire by saying. "Ames." aad "Amea" rang sut from several hundred voices. Mr. Booth thea played several selections. which were roundly applauded.

Booth. During his address. Commander Booth told a number of amusing anecdotea. He review the work that the Volunteers bsve done aad looked forward to great thlnga la the future. He dwelt upon the fact that he had resigned his allegiance to England and was aew an American, and that It would be one of tbe fundamental Ideaa of tbe Volunteers te Instill a spirit of patriotism Into Its members.

Praises Asaerteaa Patriotisms. Ia part he said: It elves me great joy ta look over this Intelll- geat aadleace this evealog aad to realise tbst they are Aaeertcaas. my countrymen. I like tha spirit of patriotism tbat pervades all American atmosphere, and I am glad to know that I stand at tbe head of a purely Amerteaa Institution. Tbe Volunteers symbolise simplicity, whlcb Is first Impreeaed upon tbe mtad ef the people by taetr manner of dress.

There may be some things about as tbat grate spea you. but ear methods suit oar work. For my part I would much rathfr see the sensible Mary Stuart bonnets worn by our women than the ridiculous gardens, decorated with eabbagee aad varteested Summery, tbat are seea upoa the street today. There are many reasons why the simplicity ef tbe Volunteers appeal, to me. I like tbelr breadth ef platform, upoa which every Proteetaat de-nomlnatloa can stand, aad opoa which Jesus, my Lord, stood.

There la aotblag misty or base about It It la simplicity, simplicity. Agala. I Ilka the Volunteers because they are Americana. I am aa American: I am aot an Englishman. Those who do aot believe In the Institutions of their country ought not to be allowed to sing.

"My Country. Tie of Thee' upoa tbe streets. Our platform la for America, America. America. Our, country la threatened with a serious outbreak and tbe Volunteers will be rlgbt to tbe front We are not going to war with hot-beaded, eooeeaalcal alma.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN. One of the Beat Peaturae of the New Pile) Cure. The Pyramid Pile Cure cures 'every form ot Piles without one particle of pain. This desirable point lav not obtained by the ate of injurious opiates, which simply deaden asd -paralyse tbe nerves of tbe parts snd make matters worse la tbe long rus. But It done solely by Its remarkable healing and soothing effects.

And wbUe It thus gives Immediate relief, at the same time tbe disesse Is aot merely checked, but a radical cure Is rapidly accomplished. And the point we- want to make clear ia -that all this is done- without a partiols of psin. This fact It one reason for the great popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and constitutes ons very great difference between It and almost any other kind ot treatment tor piles. Every kind ot surgical operstion for piles Is excruciatingly painful, besides endanger-' Ing tbe life, ot the patient, and la most esses) Is not to be compared with tbejyrsmid Cure, neither In making successful cures without pain nor In cheapness snd ssfety. The Pyramid Pile Cure has beea before the public too long, and Its merits recognised by too many people to allow It to be classed with the msny salves, suppositories, pills, etc, and you run no risk la trying It, as la often the case with new and untried preparations.

If you are ever troubled with any form of piles or rectal disease do aot forget the Pyre- mid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co. ot Albion. and sold by druggists at 60 cents per package. PYRAMID PILE CURE..
