A GREAT REMEDY
For Sufferers from Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist i'm the study
and treatment of Piles and rectal diseases.
recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure.
the new discovery for the cure of piles, was
the most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect; and that was,
the instant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the more
surprising 10 him, because he had carefully
analysed the preparation and no trace Of
opium, cocaine or similar poison could be
detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because ii is rapidly
taking the place of surgical operations and
because it is so simple so easily applied
and contains no mineral or other poisons
commonly used in pile cures
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
of piles but never fails to give immediate
relief on the first application, no matter
how severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
relief experienced from the first applca-
ton. Another important advantage Is the
fact that anyone can use the remedy with
out detention from business or Interference
with daily occupation. Sold by druggists
at 80 cents per package.

piles.

LANDED ON THE ISLAND.
story of "a Successful FiIibustering
Expedition, as Related by a Sailor
MIR. Calhoun Criticised.

WILMINGTON, N. c., May 30.-The Mes
senger to-day prints a detailed account of
the loading of the tug Alexander Jones and
her departure with the schooner John D.
Long on a Cuban filisbustering expedition.
The facts were obtained from a member
of the crew of the Alexander Jones which
returned to port several days ago. His
story substantially is as follows: On
Thursday night May 49, the Jones took on
a cargo of rifles, machetes, rapid-fre guns
and ammunition at the wharf of the Will
mington, Newbern & Norfolk Railway, in
the southern limits of the city. Before she
had entirely finished her cargo d report
was started that officers We're approach
ing and that the revenue cutter Morrill, was
getting up steam. Taking alarm at this,
the Jones pulled out and started down the
river at 1915 D. M, and in a few hours
crossed the bar and anchored outside The
schooner John D. Long having meanwhile
been loaded with coal and other material
at the Wilmington q Weldon Railroad
wharf, was shortly afterwards toWed out
to sea by the tug Jacob Brandon, going
past the revenue cutter ColtaX. On the
schooner were General NuneZ ana another
officer OF the cuban army, CUBAN pilot
and Captain John O'Brien. of the filibuster-
ing tug Dauntless. AT the sea buoy they
went on board the Jones anchored near
by, and Captain o Brien took charge of the
expedition. haWser was made fast from
the Jones to the schooner, and early Fri
day morning the tug steamed to the south
with her tow. The Jacob Brandon returned
to Southport
On the way down the coast no port was
entered, but off Palm beach, on the coast
of Florida siXty-two Cubans were taken
on board. The Jones then towed the
schooner to the Bahamas, and in the vi
entity anchored in the open sea on Tuesday,
May lS On Thursday morning, May 70, the
filibuster Dauntless hove in sight and came
alongside the Jones and the schooner. She
coaled from the schooner, took a cargo Of
arms from the Jones, and with Captain
O'Brien in command headed for the Cuban
coast about sixty miles away. She left the
Jones between and o'clock Thursday
night, and made a successful landing near
Matanzas, and after an absence of twenty
four hours exactly returned to the Jones,
took another cargo of war material and
started for Cuba Friday night. On the
last trip General NuneZ and the SiXty-two
CubanS left the Jones and went on board
the DauntlesS, and accompanied Captain
O'Brien. When the DauntesS left with her
second cargo the Jones cOaled from the
schooner, tOWed her off Cape CanaVeral,
Fla, and turned her loose. She sailed back
and got into Southport yesterday morning.
The cargo carried out of here was valued
at $4,000 and is said TO have been the sec
ond largest ever landed in Cuba. The
member of the crew above referred to says
Jones was chased and fired on by Spanish
smoke of such war vessel while on her

RAILWAY FINANCIERING.
business Which Long Since
Reached the Status of a Fine Art.
Fishback i'm Hume Arena


Take common case. A new railway is
projected in one of the Western or South
ern States. A professional promoter of
such schemes, with a glib tongue and an
elastic conscience, is employed to go along
the proposed line or lines and work up some
local interest in the enterprise. The people
are assured by this gentleman that if they
will vote q subsidy of or per cent. of the
taxable value of the property in the county
or town through which the railway is to
run, and procure a donation of the right of
way, the road can be bonded for enough
money to build and equip it. The further
assurance is given that the stock which is
to be issued to the taxpayers and donors
of right of way will be worth par as soon
as the cars begin to run. Careful COM
putations are exhibited on maps and black
boards showing how at very moderate
freight rate the net earnings of the road on
local tonnage alone will pay the interest on
the bonded debt, dividends on the stock
keep up the repairs, and furnish sufficient
sinking fund to pay off the entire mortgage
debt at or before maturity.
The sinking-fund clauses in these mort
cages are prepared with great care, and
while in form they seem to impart the ut
most good faith, the attorneys who draft
them must grin at each other during the
performance. Articles of incorporation are
prepared and filed, and the corporation has
at least a paper existence. Public meetings
are held along the proposed route, optimis-
tic speeches are made. the few old fogieS
who dissent are incontinently Squelched

voted and the right of way is secured. Now
the contractor or construction company
comes upon the scene, and after some dick
ering bargain is made. The cost of grad

for in cash. Instead of cash the contractor
is to have the right of way and subsidies

ATTACK ON CALHOUN.
The Commissioners Indirectly Scored
by u Havana Newspapers.

HAVANA, May 30-In a leading article
this morning Ell Diario de la Marina makes
a scathing indirect attack on Commits
sicner Calhoun by criticising articles
which have appeared in a Washington
newspaper over the signature of Mr.. Pep
per, who. in the guise of an intimate friend
of President Mckinley and Mr.. Calhoun
accompanied the latter to Cuba. FL Diario
de la Marina maintains that many Incl
dents of the interior working of the mixed
commission, which are wholly private, have
been divulged in Mr.. Peppers letters, thus
tending to compromise Mr. Calhoun. The
paper also resents Mr.. Peppers unfriendly
attitude towards Spain in his reports on the
Cuban question, expressing disgust that
while he blames Spain for the natural re-
suit of the war, he had no word of censure
are destroying the wealth OF the ISL
and. In closing its article Ell
Daro de la Marina calls attention
to the fact that two New York newspapers
favorable to Spain, maintain bureaus in
Havana under the same roof with the
United States consul general, intimating,
without much delicacy, that the correspond
der the wing of General Fitzhugh Lee and
draw most of their inspiration from him.
Mr.. Fishback, accompanied by Mr.. Pep
per, went into the interior to-day to visit
Guanajay. Mr.. Calhoun spent the day with
General Lee at the American consulate.
Captain General Weyler went from TunaS
to Jucaro on Friday but returned to Tunas

OBSERVATORY WRECKED.
The New YerI&es Telescope Cannot BE
Used This Summer.

CHICAGO May 30-Yerkes Observatory,
at Williams Bay, Wis. will be closed for
the summer, the movable floor of the dome
having been wrecked by fall of forty-five
feet. This floor, which was seventy-five
feet in diameter was suspended by inch
cables. One of the cables was torn from
its weight and this unbalanced the floor
which fell to the bottom of the dome. In
its fall it carried the winding stairway and
the support of the telescope with it, crush
ing the electric apparatus underneath it.
The floor lies now a complete wreck. The
loss from this part of the accident is slight,
but it was feared the jar may have dis
turbed the accuracy of some of the very
delicate machinery of the telescope itself.

MEXICO CITY, May 30.-MeXican papers

dark-blue jackets are mostly new, their
white national caps unearthly clean. But
the older men are irregular indeed. Many
are masses of rags. for the Greek uniforms
were all snapped up before they arrived.
One man wears his bayonet dangling be-
tween his legs in front another sticking
horizontally out behind; many carry it al
ways fixed, ready for any sport that may
turn up. The other day | was riding out
as a party of them marched in. They had
come along many hours of scorchng sun,
and they were laden with rifles and cart
ridges and knapsacks and overcoats. But
they saw some soldiers chasing that I'M
clean and accused animal. a pig. The
double call of religion and sport was too
strong. of they dashed after it in heavy
marching order; some headed 1t off in

After all, a city wants citizens to make
it live. A city peopled only by soldiers and
they who cater for them is not a city. 1t
is the shell of civilization, with primitive
barbarism inside it. Armies and war are
