TO REMODEL CRUISERS.
Changes to Re Made in the Cincin-
natl and Raleigh.

Repairs have been ordered for the cruis-
er Cincinnati, now at the New York navy
yard and the Raleigh. which will necessi-
tate the retirement Of both ships from ac-
tive service for the next two years and re-
suit in their complete rehabilitation and
reduction in engine power. Both these ves-
sells were built by the Government, and
when designed were provided with ma
chinery far too powerful for ships Of their
displacement and class.
The effect OF the great amount of ma
chnery was to limit the coal supply Of each
vessel and reduce its steaming radius to an
extent that rendered the ships neither
economical or useful for cruising purposes.
The Raleigh on the voyage to the United
stop at practically every coaling station to
supply its bunkers in order to make home
port. Ordinarily cruiser OF this class
should have come direct across the ocean
from Gibraltar to New York without sail
ing out of the way to stop at Madeira and
Bermuda for fuel.
While these vessels are supposed to have
engines capable of over 10, 000- horse pow
er, they have never quite equaled it and to
enlarge the coal supply and give greater
steaming radius it is intended to reduce
the horse power to $500 and thus permit Of
more coal being carried. Water tube boil
ers are to replace the Scotch boilers. The
Raleigh will be repaired at the Portsmouth,
N. H.. navy yard, and the Cincinnati at the
New York navy yard.

IS 1T CURABLE?
4 Question Often Asked by Tho
AFFLICTED With Piles.


Is a sprained joint durable? Is local in
fiammation durable? OF course, if prop
erly treated. So are piles.
People become afflicted with piles and ask
some old chronic who has always per-
sisted in the wrong treatment and natural
ly discourages them by telling them that
their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others and thus
disease that might in every case be cured
by careful and skillful handling is allowed
to sap the energy OF thousands who might
free themselves of the trouble in a few
days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most ag-
grayated case of hem0rrhods in an as
tonishingly short time. 1t relieves the con-
gested parts. reduces the tumors Instantly

Thousands who have resorted TO expen-
sive surgical treatment have been cured
by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a number OF
instances persons who have spent months
in hospital under pile specialist.
1t is remedy that none need fear to ap-
ply even TO the worst aggravated. swollen
and infiamed hemorrhodal tumors.

sease you can master it and master it

One Of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after cure
has been effected, grateful women con-

fatherly advice, which was blended with
the physician's counsel, and which was
20 helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer of free consultation by let

Cumberland, Nd, April 13.-The coal
shipments from the Georges Creek Cum
berland region-for the week ended Satur-
day, April s, by rail. aggregated 81, ,ss3 0s
tons. and by Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
2.704.03 tons. The shipments for the year
to date have reached 1,OS7, ,2SS0S tons, an
increase of 36.31694 over the correspond
ing period Of 1898. The canal shipments
aggregate to April s. S.290.03 tons, a de-
crease of 1,sO2.1S compared with the same
period OF last year. Through shipments on
the canal have been good: also. 5ustling
miscellaneous trade is reported. The to-
tai product of the Cumberland region last
week was 1851 tons in excess OF the out
put OF the same week in 1898.
OF the tonnages to April 8, S,771,S1 IL

Ohio Railroad and local points. an increase
of 2s,342.s6 tons. and 307. 1914 tons to the

1866 tons compared with last year.
Much Georges Greek Cumberland coal is
now finding its way to Cuban ports via
Baltimore. II is finding its way to all
parts OF the world. The export trade con-
tinues most encouraging. There is such
a demand for soft coal both at home and
abroad that the producers feel most en-
courased. believing they will get some
thing like value for the contents of their
mines. and that the low figures that have
been prevailing in years past will not re-
turn again.

He Taught the King of korea to
Ride the Bicycle.
Chicago, April 13.-Lieut. Philip v.
Lansdale the American officer killed in
Samoa. had charge of the caravels here
son. of the photographic Office, speaking
of him, said:
He was popular with the King Of Ko-
rea. In 1884 Lansdale took a bicycle and
a pair Of skates to Korea. He Is said to
have been the first man that rode a wheel
on Korean soil. The natives came rum
ming from all sides when they saw him
pedaling through the streets Of Chemulpo
on his high machine.
THE King of Korea, then a boy of six
teen heard of the wonderful bicycle and
sent an invitation to Lansdale to bring
his wheel to Seoul. the capital. This was
just after the massacre of some fifty Japs
by the Koreans, urged on by the Chinese.
General Foote the American Minister,
with the representatives of France, Ger
many and England, had fed from the
capital when the trouble broke out. Lans-
dale with thirteen others volunteered to
20 back there with General FOote. and on
this trip he took his wheel, as per invita-
ton, although the ground was covered
with snow and ice. The King was aston
ished at the sight of the officer astride
the bicycle.
There is nothing to hold it up; don't
understand how you ride on It, said the
King in a puzzled air.
Lieutenant Lansdale explained the art
of riding and under him the King took
lessons with such good progress that he
sent an order to America for score Of
bicycles"
The Koreans, 1t is said, had no skates,
and when Ensign Lansdale appeared skim
ming over the ice the natives were again
astounded. Lieutenant Wilson and he fire.

SAD DILEMMA OF
THE KEYSTONE State
One Week Only in Which to
Elect a Senator.
Public Business Sidetracked by a
Deadlock.
Many Bills ON the Legislative Calen-
dar That Must Fail From
Lack of Attention.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 13.-The legisla-
ture now has but one week to live. 1t is
held by parliamentary authorities that
there will be but five Senatorial ballots
after today. presuming the deadlock will
last until the end Of the session.
The rule adopted by the legislature pro-
yides for sine die adjournment at noon
next Thursday. The law prescribes that
on each day when the General Assembly is
in session a ballot for United States Sena-
tor must be taken at noon. The conflict
between these two provisions is apparent.
Ward Bliss. of Delaware, recognized
pariiamentarian of the House, said today:
Il do not see how 1t will be possible to
take a ballot next Thursday and believe
1t will be SO decided at or before that
time. The General Assembly has voted to
quit at noon, and when that hour arrives
nothing is in order but adjournment.
doubt very much whether the joint assem-
bly, would have any power to adjourn II It
met after the time fixed by the rule. In
my opinion the Senatorial roll Will be
called the last time next Wednesday un-
less there is an election before that
time
Many are SO anxious to have a Senatori-
al election that they would be disposed to
stretch point and have final opportu-
nifty to ballot on Thursday.
1t is becoming evident that many bills
on the calendar will never be reached.
Many members do not show any disposition
to rush things, and measures of no special
Importance are debated at great length.
An hour is consumed each day by the bal
lot. The senate is well up in its work,
but the house is hopelessly behind Men,
bers are straining to save their own par
ticular bills by special orders. but this on
ly increases the confusion and delay. The
great struggle in the senate will come on
the beer bills. taxing both the foreign and
domestic brew three-fourths of a cent a
gallon. These measures were held up
long time in the senate finance committee.
The brewers are making every effort to
prevent final passage and the outcome is
still in doubt.
