METHODS AT cARRARA.
Famous Msrbl. sun ouarried In the
Methods Of 5000 Years Ago.


Scalptors of every country are
agreed that If there is one place on
earth where modern machinery is nee
essary il is in the marble quarries at
Carrars, Italy. For 1000 years marble
has been quarried there, and during
all that time only one Improvement has
been introduced. the result being that
the men who work there today use
practically the same methods that were
in vogue in the time OF the Roman
emperors- Carrara is situated near the
gulf of Genoa. and it's famous marble
comes from the Apennine mountains.
the quarries being located between
Carrara and Massa. The industry at
tained its greatest prosperity at the
time of the Emperor Augustus, yet even
today il gives employment to 5000
workmen and 1000 sculptors. and it is
estimated that of the 1900 persons
who live in the district there are few.
II any, who are not supported directly
or indirectly by the quarries. The lat
ter cover about 20 square miles. and are
located on the sides of the mountains
generally near the topmost points
From each Of them a pathway leads
to the street and railroad at the foot
of the mountain, and it IS down this
pathway that the blocks of marble are
taken to their destination. The only
Improvement introduced during the
past centuries is the use OF powder
Yet it is doubtful II this is altogether
an Improvement. for the reason that,
though immense masses of rock are
dislodged by the explosions, they are
frequently so badly shattered that
much of the marble is rendered useless
for artistic purposes. When a success

cutting the marble into suitable forms
begins, and this is done with precisely

Attorney General Will Be Asked eS

Taken to the Court of Last he
sort-A stormy Meeting W"s
Held.
DETROIT Mich, April S.-The De;folt
street railway commission, with us leSai
advisers, locked horns this afternoon
with Attorney Gates, or the cl'izehs
committee, which is opposing municipal
ownership of street railways, In Prose
cuting Attorney Frazer's office, In a near
ing before the prosecutor TO oecioe
whether he should lend the use OF MS
name to quo warranto proceedings, IN
stftuted to test the validity of the Nc
I.eod enabling act This is the law which
nermits the common council of Detroit
to appoint commission to purchase and
operate the street railways of the city.
After a long, and at times heated argu-
ment the prosecutor, by mutual consent
refused to allow his name to be used
This was done to hurry the matter to
the supreme court an understanding be-
Ing reached between Tie COhlOiiNihi6 CT
tcrneys that on Monday Attorney Gates
should reply to Attorney General Oren,
at Lansing, to institute quo warranto
proceedings in the supreme court. 1t was
understood that the attorney general will
refuse this petition, whereupon the APP
plca ton Will be made by Attorney Gates
to the supreme court, for a mandamus
compelling the attorney general to insti-
tute the proceedings. This will bring
the matter before the supreme court
much sooner than would have been the
case had Prosecutor Frazer instituted
proceedings in the circuit court, and the
ccntending factions carried 1t up.
The grounds upon which the citizens
committee will endeavor to have the Nc
Leod act declared invalid are mainly as
follows:
That the provisions of the act are not
clearly set forth in the title as required
by the state constitution; that the con-
sttution expressly prohibits the state
nom engaging in any enterprise Of the
nature of municipal ownership of rail-
roads and that the courts have held
that the legislature cannot delegate pow
to municipality to perform acts which
the state itself cannot; that the supreme
court has held that the executive func-
lions of municipality cannot be vested
In n commission, but must be kept with
in Its legislative body
The proceeding will take the form of a
petition FOR writ ousting the Detroit
street railway commission from office.

Pile Cure VIII Cure Him; Give In
slant Relief.

Just little pain may SO distract a
mans life that 1t will cost him hundreds
of dollars. Life is q battle To succeed
one needs all mis- energies and all his
brain force to apply to the question at
hand. Even a corn will make him ir-
ritabie, cross, angry-and an angry man
seldom succeeds. The trihing pain of a
corn is pleasant feeling besides the
agoniZing ache of piles. That is pain
which seems to pervade the whole body
1t communicates Itself to all parts near
the seat of the trouble and brings on a
heavy dragging feeling in the perineum
Those who do not so suffer do not know
what it means. 1t racks the nerves pre-
vents sleep, prevents concentrated
thought and makes man lose flesh as
fast as he would with virulent fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a
little thing. They are neglected-allowed
TO run on from month to month and
from year to year. BY and by comes a
surgical operation. Maybe it cures-may-
be it kills.
There Is only one sure, safe and quick
cure for piles. 1t is the Pyramid Pile
cure. IT is a recent discovery and its
properties are such that it cleanses
soothes and heals the inflamed. parts. re-
duces the Inflammation at once and with
continued treatment, removes all swell
Ing and all trace of disease 1t puts the
membranes In healthy active condition
and cures completely and permanently.
From c. F. Collins, Garnett: az com
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure, but
my case was SO bad thatI was afraid
the remedy would fail, but before | had
used two-thirds of a package / began to

Instead of being angry, "Ouida" was

The wholesale, i grocery interests and
the northern trans Pacific railroads have
not yet given up the fight for a tea in
spectorship In the Twin Cities for the
Northwest. and those most interested
still believe that the Office will yet be sta

The showing made before the treasury
officials for the railroads showed that 50
per cent of the japan tea imported into
this country last year passed through the
Twin Cities. To be. sure not all Of this
amount was distributed from this point,
but the amount distributed from these
cities would be largely increased If there
was not the delay of sending to Chicago
