STRIKES THE SOURCE.
A Pile Cure That Goes to the Root o
the Disease

There are lots of lotions, oils, and salves
that will, through their soothing influence,
relieve temporarily the pain incident to
piles. But is that all the sufferer re-
qu!res? Isn't il q horrible thought to
realize that the ease is only temporary,
and that the disease goes on under the
surface without moments interruption
Wouldn't it be wiser to select remedy
that seeks the source and regulates those
deep-seated disorders which induce the
disease? Pyramid Pile Cure not only re-
lieyes the pain at once, but effects per-
manent cure Of the worst form of piles.
You don't have to go through tedious
course of dieting while using it, either.
1t strikes through those delicate mem
branes and tissues and sets the blood in
healthful circulation, reducing at once the
painful inflammation and congested tu-
mors.
This remedy is not haphazard combi-
nation Of drugs. but 1t is a remedy invent
ed by specialists who have treated piles
and blood disorders successfully for years.
Almost any first-class druggist has it on
sale at 90 cents per package. Don't treat
this disease with every lotion and salve
that comes along Remember the parts
affected are among the most delicate in
the human body. This remedy is abso-
iutely safe and ne one need fear to apply
1t freely on the most infiamed parts. The
speed with which it allays the pain is an
agreeable surprise to the sufferer.

skiIAed Cotton WOrlSmcn to Have n
Mill of Their own.
FALL RIVER, Mass, May 1.-THE labor
leaders in the cotton industries have or
ganized a company and will go into the
cotton manufacturing business in this city
in competition with former employers.
Representative William S. Greene, is one
of the promoters. The plan has been under
consideration for some time, and 1t has now
taken definite form and the stock subscrip-
ion books will probably be open early next
week
There will be 40. COO shares of s25 each,
making total capital OF 81 eco, 600. and the
public will be invited to invest. The union
men at the head of the scheme are conf
dent that most of the stock Will be finally
taken up by people who live right here in
the city. 1t is the purpose to manufacture
fine grades Of textile and to settle once and
for all the question of whether or not the
manufacturers have told the truth when
they have said that labor laws and labor
union demands were seriously hampering
the competition of Massachusetts, with
other States in the production of cotton
fabrics.
All the men at the head of the company
are skilled workmen, but know little of
the mysteries OF bookkeeping or of figures
in general. Hence they say that when the
sliding scale was discussed they were I'M
able to refute the manufacturers claims.
passed on figures. Yet they believed their
own contention STILL and they believe that
mill which manufactures cotton according
TO their own ideas Will demonstrate that
this contention was entirely sound.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 1.-Wheat was weak

THIRD AVENUE SETTLEMENT.
The Metropolitan Nearly Ready /.
Terminate the Rccciyership.


NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Third Ave-
nue. Railroad, it was learned ON good au-
thority today, will probably become a part
of the Metropolitan Street Railway system
and be operated as such before the list
OF June. The receivership may be termi-
mated before that time and the claims
against the Third Avenue line settled by
the Metropolitan people. Some difficulty
may attend this, but it is understood that
the Metropolitan Company has provided
for any that may arise
The stockholders OF the Third Avenue
road. it is expected, will ratify this change
within week. They were notified to meet
To-Day at p. m, In the offices of the
company at Sixty-first Street and Third
Avenue. to vote upon the proposition to
issue mortgage on the property and
franchises of the road TO the Morton Trust
Company, as trustee, for the purpose of
securing s50,000,0O0 bond issue. Thu.
bond issue is part of the plan of reorgan-
ization agreed upon by the directors of
the two companies. To ratify it the con-
sent of stockholders owning at least two
thirds OF the stock must be obtained The
officers of the company expect that the
proposition will be ratified by much
larger vote than this.
On Thursday of next week the stock
holders will meet again for the purpose
OF voting on the lease of the Third Ave-
nue. road to the Metropolitan. and no
difficulty is expected in having it ratified.
The principal matter affecting the ter
mination Of the receiyership is the set
Ting OF claims against the Third Avenue.
The creditors of the road have until May
- to file their claims. As a matter of
course the creditors put in claims for as
large amounts as possible, with the under
standing that they viii be adjusted by the
courts. The question is whether they could
be settled as directly and as easily by the
creditors and the Metropolitan COMPANY.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock mar
ket continued to decline today. and some
notably severe losses were recorded. As
has been the case throughout the week,
the railway list suffered relatively as
much as did the industrials and speciai-
ties. Little that was definite could be in
staneed which would explain the course
of prices. Speculative sentiment appears
to be wholly demoralized, and liquidation

market
1t would, indeed, be simply idle to at
tempt to refer the course Of prices today
to operations for the short account. AS
was to be expected. the room traders were
not slow to utilize the evident iiquida-
ton in progress, but it was the latter
rather than the short selling which forced
such declines as occurred.
The market opened generally higher in
response to the tendency of the London
market, which showed advances for Amer
lean stocks averaging about Ia per cent.
Almost Immediately, however. weakness
developed under the circumstances noted.
Operations here for foreign account on
balance were in considerable volume.
In the railway list losses in excess OF
] per cent were fairly common. There
were no novel developments bearing upon
particular stocks in this quarter that
would explain their weakness. Among the
industrials and the specialties, some OF
the declines were exceptionally severe.
There was violent break in all of the
local traction issues, with nothing what
ever coming to light in the way of ex-
PLANTATION.
The Manhattan Railways quarterly
statement was published today, and it
made a comparatively strong showing.
but the stock participated fully in the
weakness of the Others OF its class. There
were also severe declines in Peoples Gas,
Western Union, and Tennessee Coal and
Iron. Sugar Refining and Tobacco stocks
also broke rapidly, and after opening
strong. American Steel and Wire and Fed
eral Steel slumped badly. The days rec
ord in short was one of rapid declines,
broken in upon by occasional and fitful
rallies, which appeared to reflect nothing
more than the occasional covering OF
short contracts. AS already noted, there
were no novel developments which could
be adduced in connection with the course
OF the general market of particular stocks.

An important new brick machine COM
pany is being formed and will soon begin
operations on the Richards tract at the
Virginia end of Long Bridge. T. L. Hol-
brook, formerly manager Of the Washing

mental IN forming the new company. IL

The new company is to certain extent
the successor Of the Washington Brick
Machine Company. The plant OF that COM
pany has been acquired and number of
the stockholders In the old concern have
subscribed to the new. Two plans for the
financing of the new company have been
under consideration, one for the issuance
of 100000 in bonds and the other for
bonds and stock. The subscriptions have
been sufficient for either plan, 1t is said

There was little of an encouraging ma
ture In the action of the stock market yes
terday. After much dizziness. and some
declines, during the greater part of the
day there was a brisk half hour of liquida
ton at the close which resulted in the
lowest prices for the session, and net re-
cessions varying from a fraction to sew
eral points. The market is intensely pro-
fessional and the professionals are all
bearish, with the result that prices slip
of from day to day. And from time to
time small holders of securities become
discouraged and sell out, with losses big
or little. as the case may be. This de-
scribes the market accurately and wholly.
What the outcome will be must remain
in doubt, for want of knowledge as to
what the important interests intend to do.
The large holders of securities, the
Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, the Penn
sylvania people, the banks. and the in
surance companies could IL they wished
turn the market into an upward course
very easily. If they do not begin bull
campaign there is no other influence
strong enough TO do 1t, and probably not
any influence that can prevent gradually
sagg:ng market. 1t has been and still is
the opinion of some of the best informed
people in the street that these interests
intend such q bull campaign. Ii is known
that they are accommodating stocks steadily
at the present level of prices. Possibly,
however. they will be content with this
accumulation for some weeks to come.
Buying of securities outright or on good
margins on the declines is the safest way
TO take advantage of the present bargain
prices. The bears may succeed in forcing
the level somewhat lower.

Sad Result of an Explosion of Gao
in a COIIiery at GIous-

Glouster, o., June 1.-TWO hundred
miners were imprisoned at seven
o'clock a. IN. Friday by an explosion
of gas in mine No. 2, and as many
more were about to enter the mine for
work. 1t was thought at first that the
loss of life would be very large, but the
work of the rescners was carried on
so energetieally and successfully that
all were rescued and saved by Friday
night, except three. Evan Joseph, John
McClelland and Aaron Swanson were
killed, and their bodies have not been
recovered, as the mine is still on fire.
These men were engagedtto watch the
large mine at night and see that it was
in condition for the miners to enter in
the morning. They were cut from all
means of escape at the time Of the ex-
plosion, and their horses persisted with
them. William Williams, also EN-
ployed in the mine, had his leg broken,
and others suffered slight injuries.
The explosion set the mine on fire, and

with difficulty. State Mine Inspector
