Washington. March 20--Regarding ir-
regularities in the census enumeration
in Maryland, Director of the Census

Il have been simply amazed at the
irregularities we have discovered. It is
too late to change the figures OF the

districts in which the worst irregulari-
ties occurred In one county of one of
the districts 500 names were wrongfully
and Intentionally added by the enum-
orators The total population, including
the padded names aggregated Is, 1876 The
enumeration, S. r. Abel, was arrested
last night and his case will serve as an
example. The penalty involved is SIS, 600
fine and two years Imprisonment The
padded names included dead and non
residents We viii press all cases of this
sort discovered anywhere although it is
too late to change the figures"
Policeman Abel, who was arrested
last night, charged with making false
returns while acting as a Maryland CEN
sus enmerator, waived examination in
the police court today and was held for

BREAKING EXPORT RECORD.

Exports from the United States con-

the fiscal year 1t IS S1,015.1S5. S74 Thus
the record presented by the February
statement Of the treasury bureau OF sta
tistics at least suggests a billion and a
half record for the fiscal year 1901. since
the y months ending with February are
less than s1O.00o.00O below that sum, and
the eight months Of the fiscal year are
$4,000. 900 above the proportion which

TRY THE OTHER FELLOW.
President Nichols Offers Suggestions
on How to Prevent Strike.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 20.--President
4. ID. Nichols, Of the first district,
United Mine Workers of America, to-
day replied 10 the appeal of the board
Of trade requesting him to use his efforts
to prevent a strike of the miners for
recognition of the union on a purely
technical point President Nichols
says:
fAs one of the officers of the United
Mine Workers I will do everything in my
power to avoid a. strike by trying to ar
range for a joint conference. We are
not asking for the recognition of the
union on purely technical grounds, but
are striving to obtain a joint conference
so that a scale of wages may be arranged
and adopted. At present there is no
scale in vogue in the anthracite region
except in one or two places This leaves
the employees at the mercy Of the bosses.
Il feel that the board of trade should
direct a communication, or several If
necessary, to the operators. so that a
joint conference may be held and a
systematic plan Of procedure arranged.

A Medical Discovery That RffectnaIIy
Cures Piles In Every Form.

For many years physicians have ex-
perimented in vain, seeking a remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
other rectal troubles. without resortsuE

were found to give temporary relief. but
none could be depended upon to make
a lasting. satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period. however. a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure. has been
repeatedly tested In hundreds Of cases
and with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect OF the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain ard
