Jenkins Conduit System Yesterday
Proved n Grant Success.
The jenkins system Of underground
electric wires was tested thoroughly and
severely yesterday afternoon, and has
been proven not only a success but
great one.
Not hitch occurred in the operations,
and unless some difficulty arises later, the
present system, though the first effort,
Will be perfect. The test was severe in
that the locality of the track was in no
wise favorable, and on account Of the re-
cent rains the ground has been rendered
nearly unfit for work.
Abouts2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
last touch was given the machinery and
the currents turned on. Without htcn
the car glided back and forth al the will
of the motorman, the new underground
trolley acting in perfect order.
There are about 100 feet OF track ard
several trips were made back and forth.
The track was laid especially for the ex-.
pertinent, starting at Vine street in what
was once the old baseball park and run
ming to Port street. Mr. w. F. jenkins,
the inventor, has been unceasing in his
efforts to make the experiment success
He has superintendent the work on the
track, which has been in progress about
three weeks. and even helped himself
when occasion demanded. He has given
this matter his whole attention, and has
expended about $1,000 in the effort. But
now he feels himself amply repaid for
his labor. and is in high gIee at the sue
cess Of the enterprise. After starting the
system here he will introduce 1t in the
larger towns, where, on account Of the
lessened cost, it will doubtless be we'll

A prominent physician was recently ask

for every i'll except one Of the most COM
mon and annoying diseases, viz, piles.
He replied, there are two principal rea-
sons: First physicians and people in gen
eral have thought for years that the only
permanent cure for piles was a surgical
operation. and that medicinal preparations
were simply pollativeS and not a cure for
the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike many
other diseases, is in no sense an imaginary
trouble A sufferer from piles is very
much aware Of the fact and for this rea-
son the few piles Salves and olntmentS
etc, have been short lived because the
patient very soon discovered their worth

He continues: However. there is new
