The Rnriinnton,a cnt.

There is much excitement in Western rail-
road circles over the announcements of
sensational cut in class and commodity
rates by the Burlington to. Colorado COM
mon points, both from Chicago and the
Missouri river. BY the reduced rates cuts
are made as follows per hundred: Third
class, from so cents to so cents; fourth class,
from IS cents to 80 cents; fifth class, from
60 cents to 80 cents; Glass A, from 60 cents
to Az cents; Glass B, from 45 cents to 3l12
cents; Glass c, from 40 cents to % cents;
Glass D, from 50 cents to is cents; Glass
Z, from 80 cents to IS cents. From Chicago
the same reduction applies as proportional
rates to the Missouri river will be added to
the above. Commodity rates will be reduced
to a basis corresponding with the new class
rate The new rates will be effective on
deal of rate cutting all summer owing to the
war between the Southern PacificS Mallory
line and the Lone Star line between New
York and Galveston, but nothing to COM
pare with this tremendous slash by the
Burlington. When the ruinous effects of the
war with these lines was realized and to
prevent a general decentralization the lines
decided to advance rates from Galveston to
Colorado, so as to head off the steamship
lines, but, as usual, it was found that the
roads were not keeping faith. and this
movement of the Burlington is the natural
result, as that line claims to have been the
chief sufferer and it has declared it's de-
if il has to do it practically at a loss. None
of the other lines have yet Joined the Bur-
lington and they are making strenuous ef-
forts to have 1t withdraw the cut.

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE !?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

1t is W ell known among medical men that
certain diseases are more readily developed
In certain occupations than in others. That
each occupation has its attendant physical
weakness. Engineers, railroad men and
similar occupations suffer mostly from kid
ney troubles. and men who are often ex-
posed to the weather suffer from rheuma-
tism. while clerks and professional men, in
fact, the army of people whose business
keeps them indoors. are oftentimes great
sufferers from piles and constipation. In
this connection the following letter is OF
interest to people whose occupation Will
not allow sufficient outdoor exercise.
Mr.. A. F. Calhoun. notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker of Circleville, w.
Va, wrises as follows:
I had been a severe sufferer from piles
for years and had tried many remedies
with but little benefit. when about three
years ago l saw the Pyramid Pile Cure adj
vertised and sent for it.
1 was badly afflicted when I got them,
but after only two applications the piles
disappeared, and from that day TO this
have never felt symptom of the disease.

highly TO sufferers from piles

lutely safe, pleasant and painless. Sold by

are % cents per package.
Any druggist will tell you that the Pyra-
mid is the best known and most successful
and poular pile cure ever placed on the
market, and its reputation as a safe and
radical cure has only resulted from the
personal recommendations of people who
have been cured of this distressing ailment.

I took treatment two years to escape

AGAINST RUSSELL SAGE.
Decision Involving About 100000
Worth of Tideway Lands.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Court Of Appeals
to-day in the case of Henry w. Sage against the
mayor handed down a decision that affects all
the land around the island of Manhattan which
was formerly in the tideway, and which is
valued ut over $45, 900, CO. The suit was brought
by Mr.. Sage. who was the owner of certain land
on the Harlem river between Ninety-fourth and
Ninety-ffth streets. The city in carrying out its
plan of improvement filled in a strip in front OF
Mr.. Sage's land in what is known as the tide
way" that is. the land lying between the high
and low water marks. Mr.. Sage claimed that the
owners of land fronting the river either owned
the land in the tideway when 1t filled in by
the city, or if they did not own 1t, they were
entitled to the right Of ACCESS from the water to
held to extend only to high water mark. Both
Judge Barrett. who tried the case, and the APP
peate division, an appeal from Judge Bar
retts decision, held that the city, Of New York
had an absolute ownership of all the land be-
tween low and high water mark, and that the
construction of exterior street, the bulk held
by the city, gave right of action for damages
to an owner of upland who by this construction
was cut off from the water. This decision has
lust been affirmed.

THE M. E. LAYMEN.
Maryland Men Organize an AssOcia-
ton and Adopt Resolutions.

The Laymen's Association Of the Balti-
more Annual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church was permanently organ
lied Oct. s, at the Eutaw-street Church of
the denomination. The following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, Under the restriction rules Of
the Discipline of the Church but two lay
men from each Annual Conference have a
seat in the law-making body of the church.
while the ministry has representation of
one for every forty-five of their members;
and
Whereas. The General Conference Of 1885,
on the foregoing basis OF representation,
was composed of 33S ministers and 200 lay
men, the former representing, in round
numbers 16 900 preachers, and the latter
200 900 laity; and
Whereas, The impoIity and injustice of
such an inequality in representation is at
variance with the sound and impregnable
American doctrine, applicable alike to the
church and state, and that the balance Of
power in the management of either should
not be in the hands of any particular class;
and
Whereas, We believe that the general
usefulness of our beloved Methodism is
greatly retarded, and the contribution to
her greater growth and development him
dered by being. practically controlled by the
Whereas, The General Conference of 1892,
by a large majority, submitted the ques-
ton, equal representation to the Annual
Conference for their action under The re-
strictive rule requiring a three-fourths vote
of their number in the affirmative to
change the law as to representation; and,
Whereas, This proposition was defeated
by vote of 1874 for to 6,138 against, and
the same proposition being again submitted
to the Annual Conference by the General
Conference of 1896, by a vote of 2S9 to AZ
against was again defeated by a vote of
4032 for to 5413 against it; therefore, be it
Resolved, First, that it is the sense of
this association that the annual conferences
have by this action not only defeated the
purpose of the General Conference, but also
the will of the laity at large.
Resolved, Secondly, that we most heart
lily indorSe the action of our brethren Of
other conference associations in relation to
this subject, and that we pledge ourselves
to use all laudable means to secure equal
ministerial and lay representation in the
law-making body of the church; and to
this end we favor a national convention of
representative laymen from the several an
nual conferences, to meet not later than
October, 1898, with q view TO such action
and representation of the iaity as will Sc
cure the incorporation of this principle in
the constitution of the church to be pre-
pared by the committee recently appointed
by the board of bishops under a resolution
passed by the General Conference of 1896
Resolved, Thirdly, that this convention
recommend that at the next meeting of
the association, in March, delegates to a
national convention for the purpose indi-
Gated in the second resolution, and TO CO.
operate with similar delegations from other
conferences in converting national con-

The commission has also ordered that any

schuyIkin valley DeIuged.

READING, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE entire
Schuylkin valley was deluged to-day by one
of the heaviest downpours of years. Great
damage was done this city, and in Nichols
street the water rose to a height of six to
eight feet. The fire alarm summoned the
second stories of their houses. This was
accomplished with difficulty and with the
aid of boats and hook and ladder trucks.
The water rose so rapidly that it was
feared the flood would sweep away the
houses, and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed all along Nichols street.
