New York, Nov. 19.-That the banking
interests have confidence in the future of
the market was fully demonstrated yes
terday when the engagement of over z
million gold for export failed to bring
about any advance in the rate of money
or influence lower prices for stocks. The
fact that prices advanced in the face of
such tremendous shipment of gold is a
remarka BILE testimonial to the strength
of the market. We look for some irregu-
larity today and some profit taking. but
we advise purchases on declines. we
are convinced that the market is going
higher later on. We are particularly bull
ish on the coalers. especially Rea ding
common and second preferred and Erie,
all three of which will have a good adj
vance We look for n upward movement
in Gas and for higher prices for all the
traction stocks and for some further adj
vance in the American Locomotive shares,
although we would advise profit taking
in these on any further rise St Paul will
soon be taken in hand and made mar
ket leader along with Union Pacific.

are being made by the heirs of Charles
Bazilles a pioneer settler of ST. Paul to
take possession Of the old capitol build
ing, site and all, soon as the state

doned the property reverts to his heirs
1t is asserted that the conditions are
matter of record.

Ecuador's New Railway.

Guayaqui1, Ecuador, Nov. 19.-Yester-
day a trial train was run over the new
railway line from Bucay to Quito, a
distance of % miles. This is the most
difficult part Of the line to cope with
from an engineering point of view.
When the work was begun the difficult
ties seemed insurmountable. All, how
ever have been successfully overcome
and the main problem of passing the
Andes is now solved Several railway
officials from GuayaquiI and the Off
GERS of the British sloop of war Icarus
accompanied the train as guests of the
company. The officers were highly de-
lighted with the trip, and were aston
ished at the enormous obstacles con-
Quered.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. i'm. c. D.
Borden, owner of the Ironworks mills
in this city, today dropped prices of
all kinds of print one-half cent per
yard, except shifting, which he dropped
one-quarter cent The action caused
CONSERVATION in the trade, and it is
likely to be several days before mat

ready. This morning the employees of
the Ironworlxs mills began work with
out friction, on a wage scale per cent
under the scale of the past fortnight.

Pocahontas, Va, Nov. 19.-The work
from the Baby mine continues. This
morning Fritz Moulter was found en-
tonbed in a side room on the west
side. He was living, but few hours
more would no doubt have brought
death. For six hours physicians worked
with him before he was restored to
consciousness. He is yet feeble, but
will likely recover. There was great
rejoicing when the news spread that
he had been recovered alive.

DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That Effectually
Cures Piles in Every Form.

A Medical Discovery That Efectually
Cures Piles in Every Form.
For many years physicians have expert
mented in vain, seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles and other
rectal troubles, without resorting to a
surgical operation. Many remedies were
found to give temporary relief, but none
could be depended upon to make lasting
satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period, however, a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cafes
and with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure
is to instantly remove the pain and irri-
tation generally present and from that
time on the cure rapidly progresses and
before the patient is hardly aware of it
he is entirely cured. The remedy seems
to act directly on the nerves and blood
vessels Of the parts affected as it comes
into direct contact with them and sets
up a healthy acsAon which in a perfectly
natural way brings the parts to their
normal condition.
The remedy does it's work without any
pain or inconvenience to the sufferer and
is Justly considered one of the most meri-
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted If neglected
it frequently developes into Fistula or
some equally fatal and incurable trouble.
whereas by the timely use of this sim
pie but effective remedy no one need suf-
fer single day from any form of piles,
unless they want TO.
harmless, containing no mineral poisons
and is also very reasonable in price
costing but fifty cents a package. 1t is
sold in drug stores everywhere. The man
ufacturers of the remedy are the Pyramid
Drug Co.. of Marshall Mich. who have
placed this excellent preparation before
the public only after giving it thorough
and repeated tests in the hands of rep
utable physicians. The results in hun
dreds of cases have convinced us that It
will not disappoint you.

Negro Normal and A. and M School

To the Editor: Negro educators, per-
haps wisely, have publicly said but little
about the policy, efficiency and support of
their State schools for the past two years
But they have done better thinking and
closer observing. They know just what
is being said and done both for theirs and
for white State schools, Upon whole,
after all, we seem to see brighter day
even for negro State schools and negro
education in our State. This very thought
of mot blaming teachers in these seven
State schools for not being able to make
each one of these a real Normal school.
since each school has less money than one
of the score of teachers on the faculty Of
the Greensboro True Normal school or
the State University-even this statement
from teacher at the University of North
Carolina gives hope and cheer. For no
longer will those who pay in the money
for taxes and those who are in control
look for bricks without straw, even
from negro State school teachers who are
called loyal and devoted, if not thor
oughly intelligent.
But why mince matters, the truth is
truth. Our schools are not doing, have
not done and could not have done salts

necessarily poorly supported as they have

RURAL LIBRARY ACT
Will Tend to improve the
Public Schools.
Ten Dollars From Patrons, Ten Dollars From
the County and Ten Dollars From he
State Start Library.

A most important act of the General
Assembly was that which was passed for
the purpose of encouraging the establish
ment of Libraries in the public schools Of
the rural districts of the State 1t first
changes the public library law. of 1897,
found in chapter 512 of the Laws of 1890
so that public libraries may be establish
ed by boards of aldermen in towns of less
than 1000 inhabitants, the act of 1897 APP
plying only to towns of 1000 or more in
habtants.
The Rural Library Act" begins as
section of the act of 1897. in this sec
ton it provides that whenever the pa
irons and friends of any free public school
shall raise $40 towards library and
tender it to the County superintendent Of
Schools that the County Board of Edu-
cation shall give $40 additional from the
money belonging to that district and
shall appoint an intelligent person as
manager of the library, and one person
we'll versed in books to select the books
for such libraries.
Section Z provides that as soon as the
County Board has appropriated $40 for
the library the County Superintendent
shall inform the Secretary of the State
Board of Education of the fact and
the State Board shall remit $40 of State
money to the County Superintendent.
This being received the County Superin-
tendent is to turn over the $50 in hand to
the person appointed to select the books
for the library.
Section provides that the person Sc
lecting the books shall purchase such as
he deems best suited for the purpose in
dictated and shall file vouchers with the
County Superintendent showing how he
has expended the funds, the money to
be used only for books and for transport
tation charges.
Section provides that the State Super
intendent of Public instruction shall make
rules and regulations for the care of the
books, which are to be observed by the
local manager of the library, who shall
see that the books are kept under lock
and key when not in circulation.
Section 10 provides for the exchange
of two or more libraries by the managers,
no exchange to be made oftener than six
months, and the cost of exchange to be at
private expense.
Section IL approprlates $o,VVV ol the
appropriation for public schools OF the
state to put in execution the provision of
the act. while section IL limits the num-
Der of schools entitled tousthey benefit OF
the act to SIX. and pfovides That no
school district in an Incorporated town
shall receive any moneys Apder its pro-
visions while it empowers the County
Board to decide which schools shall be de-
cided upon as library schools.
The act, if it's provisions are wisely
kept. will aid materially in public educa
ton. These small libraries in the rural
districts will form q nucleus for large
libraries. for in many sections private
citizens will donate books, energetic
teachers will give entertainments to Sc
cure more books, and from various sources
additions will come that will make these
libraries important factors in the educa-
tional development of the State
