So POPULAR has the policy of con
quest and territorial aggrandize-
ment become, and so great ale
its apparent dangers, that it is
now proposed to abrogate the treaty
by which war vessels are exclud-
ed from the lakes that border this coun-
try on the north. But Great Britain
is not Spain, and il the United States
can put feet on those lakes, Great
Britain can put stronger one. The
exclusion to both countries has worked
advantageously for many years, and it
is always wise to let well enough alone.

BATTLE ON A CAR TOP.
Brakeman Knocked on Flying
Freight by Crazy Man.

BordentOwn. y. j., May while the
Jersey City freight. on the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, was running near Railway
on its way To Camden early this morn
ing, Joseph Kesler, a brakeman, found
himself suddenly confronted on top of
a car by simmons Perrne, the llagman.
Perrine had become insane, and he
savagely attacked Kesler, trying to
beat him with the lantern he carried.
Kesler fought him off as best he could,
but found himself no match for the
craZed hagman.
There was no means Of communicate
ing with the engineer or conductor, and
the brakeman felt that his chances
were slim indeed lie grappled with
the CTaZed ilagman and there was a
brief but terrific struggle, ana Keser
was thrown from the train As he fell
he managed TO throw himself outward
to escape the tracks, ana miraculously
escaped fatal injury He was brought
to his home i'm BordentOwn today and
it was found that his right leg and
thigh We're severely hurt but he will
recover in few days
Perrine was taken in charge when
the train reached Railway, and was so
violent that he had to be strapped
down.

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

1t is well 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. Engi-
neers, railroad men and similar Occu-
pations suffer mostly from kidney trou-
bles and men who are often exposed 10
the weather suffer from rheumatism,
while clerks and professional men, in
fact, the army Of people whose business
keeps them indoors. are oftentimes
great sufferers from piles and cunstipa'
ton. In this connection the following
letter is of interest to people whose oc-
Cupation will not allow sufficient out
door exercise.
Mr. A. T.. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker Of Circleville,
W. Va, writes as follows:
I had been a severe sufferer from
piles for wears and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago ! saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
it.
| was badly afflicted when | got it,
but after only two applications the piles
disappeared and from that day 10 this
| have never felt a symptom OF the
disease
! feel that l cannot recommend ii too
highly to sufferers from piles
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are % cents peg
package.
Any druggists will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and its reputation
as safe and radical cure has only re-
suited from the personal recommends
tion of people who have been cured of
this distressing ailment.
Send to Pyramid Co, Marshall,
Mich. for valuable little book on cause
and cure of piles.

more boiler tubes They carried off
several miles of wire obtained from de-
stroytd telegraph lines connecting with
the Manila cable station at BOlinaO.
Two regiments of volunteer natives had
become SO disloyal that they were dis
banded on March 20 by order of Cap
tain General Rivera.
Many were deserting from the two
remaining regiments. BolinaC was cap
turCd by the insurgents and held for
nine days, Its garrison would have
been massaCred but for the presence
there of the superintendent of the Phil
ippine and Hong Kong Gable Line
company and his helpers.
ON March 16, Genera Monet arrived
at Bolinao with 1000 troops and report
ed that the insurgents had given him
battle five times after he left Lingay-
en-. Monet admitted that five Spanards
had been killed and he asserted that
the lnsurGent losses had been heavy.
He learned that the priests and Ga"ri
sons had been killed in seven villages
between Lingayen and Bolinao, only
six soldiers escaping. In some VIII
lagos the garrisons surrendered on the
condition that they might go to the
nearest village. The insurgents agreed,
but killed the soldiers after obtaining
their arms.
General Monet returned to Manila on
March 20 leaving 500 soldiers at BolinaO.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Plate Mills Are Very Active and Big
Business Is Coming.

Pittsburg, May 5.-The American
Manufactures in its weekly trade re-
view, will say tomorrow:
AS yet there has been nothing
startling in the iron and steel trade.
The opening of war has made no ma
teriel change in the market and things
are still being held back. A few lines
have moved upward during the past
week but only one advance can be
traced directly as war effect. At
various points, the trade remains about
as it was at last report. In the east
ern market war uncertainty is still
having bad effect on trade. At New
York there is a fair consumption of
pig iron, but all finished lines are very
quiet, Philadelphia reports a big effort
to sell steel bars. Billets are in fair
demand and the situation in Bessemer
steel seems to be improving. The
plate mills are very active, and there
are indications of big business COM
ing in structural material. At Chicago
there is some little improvement
shown. The makers of agricultural
implements are quite busy, all are
putting in new supplies. About 25,000
tons of southern pig iron have been
sold in this market recently, and
northern charcoal iron is in good de-
mand. The plate mills are busy, and
sheets are in good demand. Some lit
tie interest is shown in the Cincinnati
pig iron market but warrant iron is
still pressing the trade. The plate
and tank mills are well employed, and
there are heavy shipments of sheets
being made. The St. Louis consumers
of pig iron are busy but they continue
to buy for present wants only. Cleve-
land reports change from the condi-
tions of last week. At Wheeling there
is a somewhat better demand i'm some
lines. but prices are no better.

FRESH MEAT FOR THE NAVY.
The steamer Illinois to BE Fitted
Ont as a Cold Storage Ship.

Washington. May 5.-Some new
wrinkles in naval warfare are to be
introduced by the United States in the
present struggle. The steamer Illi-
nois, originally intended for making a
voyage from the eastern coast to
Alaska with gold seekers, recently pur-
chased by the government, is being fit
ted out as a refrigerator ship, under
the direction of the paymaster general
of the navy, who has charge of fur
nishing provisions to the vessels of the
service. The Illinois will have a COM
plete refrigerating apparatus and sew
Cral cold storage compartments. For
the first time in the history OF naval
warfare officers and men of a squad
ron operating in the tropics will have
fresh meat and other frozen supplies,
with plenty of ice Contracts have
been placed by Paymaster General
Stewart for securing 100000 pounds of
fresh beef to be stored on the Illinois
As there is a battleship of the same
name under construction, the Illinois
will be reChristened, Appropriate
names for special vessels have been
chosen by Secretary Long, and the rule
will be followed with the provision

and she is already referred to by that
COgnomen among naval officers.
The ambulance ship SolaCe will leave
Newport News next Saturday. She
will proceed direct to the blockadng
force under Admiral Sampson and con-
Ney TO it stores and supplies for the
sick and those who may be injured in
action. All the sick on the fleet will
he removed to the Solace and there
attended TO and from now until the
war ends, the ambulance ship will con-
tinue with the fleet.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, May 5.-Professional opera
tors all turned bulls today after a brief
period of doubt and hesitanCy. after the
opening. The market was fun of outside
buying orders and business was on a
large scale. An early reaction here failed
to impair the confidence In London, where
Americans continued very strong. Buy
ing here for arbitrage account was also
on "A very large scale and turned the
scale to the bull side. The market pre-
sented all the characteristics of the ram
pant bull spirit. Traders were busy seek
iUg out obscure stocks which had not yet
felt the renewed impetus to business, to
lift their prices to the highest level of
the last few days. The large number of
small lots of standard dividend paying
stocks was also a conspicuous feature of
the trading. Rock Island was the cen-
ter of the largest interest in the railroad
list owing to its favorable traffic state
ment for April and was lifted 3A points
to a parity with St, Paul Sugar was
furiously active and very volatile all
day, covering an extreme range of 4h
points net. Manhattan, West Chicago
Street railway and Consolidated Gas are
over 4 points higher The large major
ity of stocks traded in were at least a
point higher and net gains ranged from
that up to 3 points. There was no spe-
Cial development in the situation to ac-
count for the buoyancy OF the market
beyond the general conviction that
SPANS capacity to carry on the war is
nearly exhausted and that the danger
Of any serious impairment of this coln-
trys prosperity by reason of the strug-
Glc is about passed. Total sales OF stocks
we're $1,000 shares.
