GIVES SATISFACTION,
4 Certain Cure for Piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be-
cause il has the merit which brings Sue
cess. Ii cures every form of piles and
cures them TO stay cured. 1t Is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public. and one reason for its
great popularity is because it has taken
the place of surgical operations, once con-
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well known
TO be. Yet the greatest remedies and
greatest inventions We have are the sim
blest. and the fact that il does cure is all
the sufferer from piles wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles il
any stage of the disease as shown by the
following testimonial letters which are
ported each time:
From George c. Geick, Owens Mill Mo;
Some time ago ! bought package of
Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife who had
suffered very much. The lrst trial dc her
more good than anything she had ever
tried. II is just as represented.
From Richard Loan. Whipple. Ohio: l
have used the Pyramid and am entirely
pleased and satisfied with results. II does
the work and no mistake.
Mr.. W. r. Hines, of Magnolia, Ark.
says: Although l have used the Pyramid
Pile Cure only a very short time, yet II
has been very beneficial TO me.
From Mrs. Peter Lake Mohawk, y. Y:
| received the Pyramid Pile Cure, but put
off using ii until last week, when l be-
came SO bad l decided to try it. / have
suffered twenty-nine years with bleeding
piles and have used 4 great deal Of medi-
cine, but never had anything that did so
much for me as your remedy.
The proprietors OF this remedy could
publish columns OF similar letters TO the
above if necessary, but these are enough
to show what it will do in different cases.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich,
and for sale by druggists everywhere at
30 cents per package One package is suf-
ficient to cure any ordinary case. Your

sEABoARD AIR LINE PLANS.


BALTIMORE, March 23.-President John
SHELTON Williams. of the Seaboard Air
Line system, was in Baltimore today. He
said that the most important links con-
Meeting the Seaboard system had been com
pleted, and that trains are now running
be tween Petersburg. Va, and Columbia.
s. c.. and between Portsmouth, Va. and
Columbia, though not on regular schedule.
u am advised by Vice President and
General Manager st. john that the bridge
over the Congaree River at Columbia viii
be ready by April J." said Mr.. Williams.
"The completion of this bridge Will give us
q through line all the way from Petersburg
TO Tampa. We have not as yet taken up
the question Of building the line from
Richmond to a point opposite Washington,
hut We will give that project attention in
due course of time.
Our financial plans are in excellent
shape. The appointment by the United
States Court at Norfolk of commissioners
10 take testimony IN the old suits insti
tuted by MIR. Thomas F. Ryan against the
Seaboard consolidation; Will have no effect
upon the carrying out OF the plans. Mr..
RYAN is welcome 10 make all the investi-
cations he pleases. Our position is one
upon which We invite the searchlghts 10
be turned. The more il is Investigated the
more il appeals 10 any honest and intelli-
gent mind. 1t will bear the closest
scrutiny"
The presence of Mr.. Williams In the city
started several rumors Of favorable char
scter. One was to the effect that there
would be an announcement shortly regard
ing the distribution OF the securities OF the
new company. This could not be con-
frn,ed hut IL received credence In soma

There was heavy realizing in the market

Despite quite general idea that the
movement in the Baltimore and Ohio Sc
curities was over they were among the
strongest on the list yesterday, the pre-
ferred especially making net advan e of
couple of points after selling as high
as 81 Ia. The buying OF both the pre-
ferred and the common was said to be
for the clique that has been advancing the
stocks for several days. Pennsylvania was
also feature with an advance to 13S on
good buying and close at 1873 3-S. Senti-
ment regarding Pennsylvania has been
bullish for some time in well informed
quarters for several reasons. 1t is known
that the company will profit immensely
from the increased coal rates to go into
effect on April !. This fact, with the al
ready immense surplus shown over the
dividend on the stock has led to the
rumor again that the dividend rate is 10 be

spectators are undoubtedly much i'm

An interesting comparison Is made be-
tween Colorado Fuel and Iron and Ten
nessee Coal and Iron as TO their capitalize
ton and earnings, apparently much to the
credit of the former company. The tlet
earnings of the Colorado company for six
months have been only 100000 less than
those of Tennessee Coal and Iron. The
bonded Indebtedness of Tennessee Coal and
Iron is SIC, 1886 600, and the preferred and

difference in favor OF Colorado Fuel and

panies are more prosperous than ever be-
fore in their histories. and IS far as can
be foreseen it Is an assured prosperity for
d long time TO come. Colorado Fuel and

a point or so above that figure. There was
heavy realizing in the group, it was said,

apparently not being satisfied with what
has already occurred to them in the
group. Toward the close covering by the
shorts caused a rally which in all parts
of the group, except Third Avenue. re

The cause of the weakness was the fact
that the franchise tax assessments are 10

impossible that the remaining shorts may

One curious story regarding the Third
Avenue market position is that while the
Metropolitan people own a controlling in
terest in the stock technically, they have
not the actual certificates. II is said that
the stock is held by various important in
terests which refuse TO give it up TO the
shorts al anything like the present price,
and that for this reason the shorts have
not yet made good with the Metropolitan
people. One story is that SIPS share has
been set as the price TO be paid by the
shorts for sufficient stock to cover their
contracts. The outcome Of such a condi-
tion is, of course, extremely doubtful, and
conservative people are keeping away from
the stock.

Rio Janeiro, March 12-Yesterday the
Brazilian government published the result
of the investigation into the alleged trea-
sonable conduct Of the police brigade.
This established the fact that certain cit
izens holding mOnarchist ideas furnished
money to provide for the enlistment of
forces that would organize an attack
upon duly constituted institutions, but the
attempt failed 20 secure any aid among
the civilian armed classes.

tutions and TO the action OF the govern
ment.
1t appears that the plotters against the
republic were seriously divided. Some OF
them wanted a triumvird,e, consisting OF
mOnarchists; others favored a republican
triumvirate, and yet others favored a
mixed junta. Several wanted ready mon
ey which was given in abundance. after
which they informed the police authori-
ties.
The government had refused TO believe
that there was any idea Of revolution
among 25.O0o car drivers, ard even after
much evidence had been collected. Presi-
dent CampOs Sales and his advisers still
refused to believe in the stories Of mon
arcnlSts plots. As matters have turned
