STORIES OF MEN
 AND INCIDENTS
BY HOMER GEORGE.

While in Atlanta last week I dropped into the city hall during a session of the city council. The question of allowing the making of books during a season Of racing was being discussed. Joe Ullman, famous racing man and bookmaker from Baltimore, was in the city and had stated to the members of the board of directors of the Georgia State Fair asso- citation that he would build a mile track in Atlanta and have hundred days rac- ing each season if the city would allow bookmaking.
 For the purpose of securing the pas sage of an ordinance granting this per mission the board appointed a committee from it's membership to push such law through the council. This committee in- cluded Hon. w. A. Hemphill, former mayor and for twenty years superintend- ent of the Trinity Methodist church Sun day school, and Hon. H. H. Cabaniss, deacon in the First Baptist church and candidate for mayor. They went to work with the committee and had the bill passed through the council committee. Then 1t came to the council as a whole.
 Before reaching this latter body the preachers of the city took up the ques- tion and determined upon fight against 1t. The day before the meeting when the bill was to be called up every minister In Atlanta preached strong sermons against the measure. The leaders in the work were the ministers presiding over the First Baptist church and Trinity

Little Rock. March 24.-The tenth an- nual Arkansas Derby was run over a slow l track. It rained for twenty-four hours prior to the lace. The winner turned up in Prowl, a seasoned horse from New Orleans He was an outsider in the bet ting. George Bennett's colt Herodiade, who went to the post a strong favorite at to 5, led for half mile and then went all tc pieces. He stopped to noth- ing in the stretch and finished absolute ly last. The field got off well punched, but there was a lot of crowding on the first turn. Coburn, on Herodiade, cut across the track and forced Huntressa and Flora Pomona to pull ur. These two mares proved to be ths ccntcnders at the finish. Had it not been for the jostllng they received, the result might have been different. Prowl was we'll ridden.

CARTER KNOCKS
 OUT CHOYNSKI
ONLY ONE ROUND WAS FOUGHT WHEN THE "kID" LANDED ON cHoYNSkPS STOMACH AND SMASHED HIM ON JAW.

Chicago March 24-"Kid' Carter of Brooklyn knocked out Joe Choynski in the first round of a six-round contest to- night at the America Club It was either mans battle up to the final blow. Choyn- ski had reached Carters jaw with both hands at least twenty times and had the Brooklynite staggering when the latter made desperate lunge with his right for Choynskl The blow landed in the pit of Choynskis stomach and doubled him up. Before he could straighten himself out Carter chopped him with a right on the jaw. Choynski went down but came to his feet staggering, barely able to hold his hands up.
 Instead of endeavoring to clinch Choyn- ski stood off and began slugging. Carter, who had recuperated from the terrible beating he had received was the strong CT, and after missing several desperate swings he finally landed a full right swing on Choynskis jaw. The blow had such force that it lifted Choynski clear off his feet and he went down on the top of his head. It was thought for a time that he had been seriously injured but with the assistance of a physicians his handlers brought him to his senses after he had been unconscious for fully ten minutes. The round lasted 2 minutes and 35 seconds

Foreign Trade Regulations.

In discussing our foreign trade rela-
 Our foreign commerce returns deserve some attention as they show a continued change In the drift of our foreign trade and a partial cessation Of the enormous trade balances which have been a fea- ture for several years. In February our exports were only $1o1, 100000. or s11. 4OO,- 900 less than a year ago and SIS, 900, GOO less than in 1899. They were the small est in any month since July 1899. The decline was chiefly due to light corn ship ments and a decrease in iron and steel exports. A short crop explains the loss in corn; but the skrinkage in steel pro- ducts Is due to the great demand at home and low prices and depression abroad. The American Invasion" of the European steel markets is less threaten ing than year or so ago. especially as our British and European rivals are pre- pairing to lower their cost of production to meet American competition. Our im- ports of merchandise are as steadily ris- ing as exports are falling, prosperity at home naturally stimulating the demand for foreign products. February imports aggregated $67, 200 900, an increase of near ly B. 100000 over last year. For the month. therefore, we had an excess of exports amounting to S34,2O00 GOO, against $4s, 400, GOO last year. There is nothing in this re- turn of foreign trade movements to a more normal condition to cause the slightest concern; but the big favorable trade balances, so often used as bull argu- ments, will be lacking this spring."

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
A Great Strain.

No one disputes the fact that we are living in a rapid age; it is rush, rush, rush from morning until night, and com petition is so fierce that the struggle does not cease until the machine is worn out. Women too, even when surrounded by every comfort, become infected by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties have no time to give thought to their physical well-being until they are suddenly brought to a sharp realization of the fact that nothing in their lives is so important as attention to correct or rational living. It may sur prise the readers to learn that women are more prone to piles than men, and In most cases because it Is difficult to inn press upon them the importance of regu- lar movements of the bowels. Irregularity means straining at stool, and straining means piles, with the certainty (under the usual methods of treatmenD that the sufferer will have them always with her. By usual methods is meant the application of salves and lotions. or Gas a last resorD a surgical operation. If there is a complaint which entails more distress and suffering upon those afflicted than piles or hemorrhoids it Is not known to the writer. Fortunately, however, these are learning that there Is rem edv that effectualy cures all forms of piles It is known as the Pyramid Pile Cure, is in suppository form, is applied directly to the parts and does 1t work quickly and painlessly; it is sold by drug gists for fifty cents package. or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price.
