Piles-Cure Them at the BegininS.

Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages, without pain or loss Of

IS NOLONGER A MONOPOLY
THE WAGNER COMPANY CUTTING
INTO THE PULLMAN BUSINESS.
The ScaIper's Occupation Apparently
ON the Wane-PersOnaI and Mis-
ceIIaneOus Railway News.

It is now stated that the Wagner Palace
Car Company will soon have a line extend
ing to the Pacific coast. The aggressiveness
of the management of the company the last
two years has been a surprise, and at the
present rate it's cars will soon be running
over as large mileage as those of the
Pullman Company. Some of the roads the
latter has lost recently have made important
inroads on the Pullman Company's business.
1t still has the Pennsylvania lines and some
of the Northwestern systems and a number
of other roads which the Pullman Company
is not likely to lose, as the roads are holders
Of considerable Pullman stock. When the
Union Pacific receivership was closed, few
weeks ago, all contracts made by receivers
expired, and this fact is given as eXplana-
ton of the condition on which the Wagner
Company can supplant the Pullman, even
though the Pullman contract does not ex-
pire for eighteen months. In commenting
on the fact that several important roads
have of late substituted for the Pullman
service the Wagner service, the United
States Investor says: 1--WE suppose that no
one doubts that the policy of the Pullman
Company will be less aggressive in the
future than in the past. To illustrate, we
have been told on good authority that on a
certain occasion a competing company I'M
derbid the Pullman Company and obtained
a large contract. What does George M
Pullman do? He Immediately goes to the
competing company and offers them 100000
for their contract, and obtained it, and on
it makes profit for the Pullman Company
of 100000"

The sca1per,s Business Gone.

1t is stated that on April another local
ticket broker will retire from business, there
10 longer being living in it for him. which
will leave but three scalping offices against
seven one year ago, and there is no question
as to the new mileage book of the Central
Passenger Association and of the Northern
Passenger Association having practically
ruined the traffic. Nothing in recent rail-
road history has been more marked in its
rapid decay than that which has overtaken
the scalping of railroad tickets. Twelve
months ago there were but few important
towns where there were not ticket scalpers;
now, at many of these railroad points, there
are none. This state of affairs. it is stated,
prevails all over the country, but the district
covered by the Central Passenger Associa-
ton and the Northern PASSENGER Associa-
unless it be in New York State, and the
scalpng. fraternity admit that the inter
changeable mileage book has caused the
rapid decline in their business. The char
acter of the contract these books carry is
such that scalping them has been rendered
practically impossible
