SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR TIT CURE OF PILES AND
RECTAL DISEASES No
LONGER NECESSARY.
4 Medical Discovers Which VII
Change the Treatment Of All
Such Diseases

1t has long been thought not only
by some physicians bat By people IN
general, that the common, painful
aud exceedingly annoying trouble,
piles, was practically inenrable by
any other means than a surgical
operation and this belief has been
The cause of years of needIess suffer-
ing, because OF the natural dread of
surgical operations.
There are many salyes, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of
piles, but The Pyramid Pile Cure Is
the only preparation 50 arintroduo-
ed that can be reliably depended
upon to cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding or pro-
truding piles.
Mrs. N. c. Huxley of Gel Missis-
sippi ST, indianapolis, was told by
her physicians that nothing but a
surgical operation costing between
seven and eight hundred dollars,
could cure her as she had suffered
for Is years; get even in such a
case as hers The Pyramid Pile cure
accomplished a complete cure F.. She
says: 4 knew an operation would
be death to me and tried the Pyra-
mid with very little hope and It is
not 10 be wondered at that am so
enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. D. L. Reed OF South Lyons,
Mich, says: I would net take $500
and be placed back where I was be-
fore I used the Pyramid Pile Cure,
I suffered for years and it is now
eighteen months since used it and
not the slightest trace OF the trouble /
has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure IS sold by
nearly all druggists at 80 cents and /
Fl per package and as it contains no /
opium, cocaine or other poisonous
drugs can be used with perfect safe

of the estate of r. F. Merrick, which has

The suit was brought against the estate

five years later the company was reor-
ganized under the name of the National
Express and Transportation Company"
Merrick had not paid for the stock in
the original company and, upon its reOr-
ganIzation an effort was made to compel
him to make good the subscription to the
new company.

PAY FOR OVERTIME
WORK AT NAVY YARDS
RELIEF BILL TO BE DRAFTED
senator burrows and Committee
at the Navy Department-Re
suit of Conference

Senator Burrows called upon Secretary
Long this morning to urge a final settle
ment of the question of extra pay for
employees for overtime work at the navy
yard during the late wars.
The Senator was accompanied by a
committee of the International Associa-
ton of, Machinists, composed of w. F.
Ackerman, Henry Lewis, B. G.. Iadd
and ]. B. Simering. who have charge of
the employees interests.
Secretary Long stated that he was in
entire sympathy with the men and
thought they should be paid. but that ex-
isting regulations prevented him from
paying the claims. He promised Senator
Burrows that he would draw UP a rezo-
luton covering the ground which S ma
tor Burrows agreed to introduce In Con-
gress. empowering the Secretary of the
Navy to pay the money.
Senator Burrows, who has taken a
deep interest in the matter, intends to

TESTING THE LEGALITY
OF CAB REGULATIONS
CONTINUATION OF CURRY CASE
Agreement Reached Petween COun-
sel-Case May Be Taken to the
Court of Appeals.

The case of the District of Columbia
against Frank Curry, a cabman. was
continued in the Police Court today till
next Friday. This is case for the pur
pose of testing the legality of the recent
regulation of the Commissioners of the
District in ousting public hackmen from
the B Street stand and granting to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company the cX-
elusive use of that stand for the cabs Of
that corporation.
Section i of a ticle " of the police reg
ulations of the District of Columbia pro-
vides that the major of police shall from
time to time, under the direction of the
Commissioners, establish, declare and
designate stands for vehicles on the
streets or other public places within the
District, together with the number and
kind of vehicles which may occupy such
stands and the hours within which such
stands may be used and no vehicles shall
occupy such stands except in accordance
with instructions and regulations of the
ma jor of police.
The section is declared to be conforma-
BILE with the act of Congress, entitled An
act to authorize the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia TO make police regu-
lations for the government of said Dis
triCt." The preamble of this act recites
THAT the Commissioners be and they are
hereby authorized and empowered to
make, modify and enforce usual and rea-
sopable police regulations in and for said
District"
The main question in issue is whether
the regulation under which the case is
brought is usual and reasonable police
regulation"
Counsel for the prosecution and defense
have determined to submit to the court an
agreed statement of fact. If in the opin-
ion of the judge of the Police Court the
regulation of the Commissioners shall
stand, the defense will carry the case
into the Court of Appeals of the District
If the judge shall rule that the regulation
of the Commissioners ought not to stand
the Government will seek to take the case
on writ of error into the Court of APP
peals. There is a nice question of law
as to the right of the Government to do
this.

RENTING OF CHURCHES
FOR ENTERTAINMENTS
Direct Competition With Pub
Lie Halls.
LARGE REVENUE DERIVED
Question of Exemption From Tax
alton Involved
COmmfssi0ner Wight's MemOran-
dum-ro EquaIizc Payments for
LARGE REVENUE DERIVED
Commissioner Wights Memoran.
dum-Fo EquaIizc Payments for
Privileges of This Kind.

The renting Of church auditorium for
various uses other than for religious ser
vices, bringing them into direct compei-
tion with halls erected for public pur-
poses, has been brought to the atten ion
of the District Commissioners In n man
ner which attaches particular importaLc -
to the subject at the present time
1t has been pointed out to them that in
recent years, since the public has bee me
less scrupulous about attending secular
entertainments in church edifices the
renting OF church auditoriums for such
purposes has very materially decreased
the revenues Of various public halls. 1t
is stated that the church has thus enter
ed into direct competition with the hall
business, and furthermore that being ex-
empt from taxation the former has am
undue advantage over the latter.
When the matter was brought To the
attention of District Commissioner Wight
he Immediately made memorandum. with
the query as to whether churches which
derive incomes from renting their audi
toriums should be exempt from taxation
The memorandum is as follows:
My attention having been called TO The
fact that some of the churches are in re-
ceipt of incomes from the renting of their
auditoriums for various purposes TO the
detriment of those who invest money in
public halls TO be rented for similar pur-
poses, the question naturally has arisen
as to whether churches renting ,her audi
toriums for such purposes and deriving
an income therefTom are entitled 10 the
exemption from taxes provided for in the
law. / recommend that the matter be re-
ferred to the attorney for his opinion,
ana also in this connection that the mat
ter of theater licenses be looked into with
a view of determining whether ii might
not be amended so as 10 include other en-
IertainmentS OF somewhat similar char
acter. which are from time to time given,
and for which a weekly amount is paid,
aggregating very much more than the
amount required for theaters. This sug-
gestion made with Il view Of equaliZing
payments for similar character of enter
tainments"
The latter portion of the memorandum
refers particularly TO such entertain
ments as the wargraph and kinetoscope,
in different parts of the city These af-
fairs are required to pay a weekly amount
for the privilege Of exhibition. In the
course of a year they would pay several
times the amount paid by theaters. The
idea of the Commissioners is to equaIize
the payments for privileges Of this kind.
