Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly, Painlessly, Without
 Danger.

People go along for years suffering with piles. They try this and that and the other thing from carrying buckeye to getting treatment from physician. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured. A little strain in lifting, excessive fatigue. little consti- patton or little diarrhoea and the piles come back.
 They don't seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No position Is comfortable. There is intense local pain and that dreadful feeling Of weight in the perineum.
 Maybe in the early stages some of the many salves on sale will afford temporar: relief. If the case is of long standing there is only one speedy and sure remedy. It Is Pyramid Pile Cure. Evene,in light cases it is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not Py- ramid Cure is always certain, always re. liable. always brings comfort atsOnce.

CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
MINE INSPECTOR REPORTS To
 GovERNER.
MT, Gray Says Accident at Flat Top
 Was Due to Violation of Rules
 by Employe Who Was Killed.

The formal report of State Mine In spector James M. Gray to Governor Jeiks upon the causes of the tragic accident in Flat Top Mines, where State convicts are employed. was received at the Exec utive Department yesterday.
 Mir. Gray finds that the accident was in all probability caused by Stealing, a victim of the accident, carrying lighted lantern into the powder house. in direct violation of one of the regulations of the mines. Inspector Gray found that the ventilation of the mine was good, and that the accident occurred in the powder house.
 The direct cause of the accident. he ex- plained, might have been caused in sev- eral ways, and he set forth in his report how each way might have produced the accident.
 After a thorough investigation, how ever. he said, was satisfied that the explo- sion in the powder house was produced by an. open lighted lamp carried there by Stealing. This belief Is based upon the fact that the remains of an open lamp were found outside the powder house. O.
 Oscar Lynn, a white convict, told the Mine Inspector that he saw Stealing in the powder. house with an open light a, few minutes before the accident.
 The report stated that Superintendent Rogers was seriously wounded and was not resting well. ."
 In addition to this report, Mir. Gray sent the Governor a specific account of the character of the wounds which each Of the injured sustained.

days: but so unbrolzesas and expeditions run is infrequent, and jidicious travellers allow three weeks for. the Journey. As for freight trains, they make at best about eight miles an hour. But they do little running at night, and are necessa rily subject to frequent and prolonged stoppages, so that their running time Is seldom less than fifty. and often reaches sixty, days, or even more. In view of such schedule 1t is not surprising that for though traffic the ocean route is still preferred.
 Doubtless things will he better some day. The Siberian Railroad was hur- riediy built. Its 5.1e6 miles of rails were laid in ten and a half years, while it took the Canadian Pacific ten years to lay 2S2f. That does not mean that the Rus sians were the better railroad builders. It means that the Siberian road was built fiimsily, with narrow embankments. short ties. little ballast. sharp curves and steep grades, and with very light rails. Such conditions make 1t impossible to run trains at high rate of speed. Already the work of practically rebuilding the road from end to end has been begun. When 1t Is finished, at cost not much less than the original cost of the road, a few years hence, it is promised that trains will be run as rapidly as twenty two miles an hour-that is, the fastest ex- presses-redueing the time across the con- tinent to less than ten days.
 It would be mistake, however, to de- duce from these facts the conclusion that the Siberian Railroad Is failure, or that it is not proving of service and of pro- it to its builder. On the contrary, 1t is of enormous practical value. But that value-apart from military considerations lies not In through trafic. but in war trahlc, especially west of Lake Balilxal It is opening up and settling Western Siberia in "a marvellous manner. Hun dreds of thousands of peasants are now yearly migrating from the overcrowded villages of European Russia to the virgin plains beyond the Urals, where each head of a family receives forty acres of land, free of taxes for three years and for three years more taxable at only half rate. The railroad does not amount to much as 8 leap across the continent. But as part of Q steady eastward march and growth It's importance is inestimable.

THREE vAaRANfs ARRESTED.
Police at Last Begin Enforcement of
 Vagrancy Act.

Police at Last Begin Enforcement of
 Vagrancy Act.
 At last the vagrancy law is being en- forced in Montgomery.
 Three negro women with no visible means of support. Zula Calhoun. Minnie May and Lou Langford. were arrested yesterday morning at Il o'clock by Special Officers E. W. Jackson and W. F. Payne. The women are young and were well dressed. They are entered as dressmak- CTS on the police docket, and made bond. These arrests are the first that have been made under the recent vagrancy law. by the Montgomery police.
 The police have had fer some time a good many characters about town under surveillance with a view of obtaining evil dence enough to convict under the vag- rancy act, but this evidence has been hard to get. Evidence strong enough to acqult must show that the prisoner has made an effort to get employment.
 It is understood that other arrests will follow.
 The cases against these women are set for trial Tuesday afternoon at o'clock before Recorder A. H. Arlington.

DECREASE IN POPULATION.

Due to Excessive Use of Alcohol.
 The population of the five departments Of Normandy is 10000 less than it was thirty years ago, and the decrease is at- tributed wholly to the excessive use of alcohol: M. Debove, the Dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, shows how alcohol operates in two directions toward the diminution of the population-by rais- ing the average of mortality and by weakening the vitality of the majority that survive. There are places in Nor manty where the consumption of brandy Is more than a quart per day per head of the adult population. Alcoholism is said to have got firm hold on a large part of the female population. In the fairly temperate" canton of Tourouve the average weekly consumption of raw spirits Is a little over three and a half quarts of each male adult and about two children.

 There has of late been so much talk about the Siberian railroad, it's fast freight" and it's passenger trains de luxe" that there is danger that some people win suppose it to be a steam high way comparable with our own transcon- finentaI roads. We have repeatedly pointed out in these columns that, des- pite the opening and operation of the rail- road. 1t is still found best to send mer- from Russia to China and to the Siberian coast by water. The sea route is as quick as that by land and is much cheaper. This view of the case is amply confirmed by the latest authentic reports upon the Siberian Railroad.
 The distance from Moscow to Vladivos- tok is 5.i66 miles The choice express trains, passenger trains de uuxe," run as fast as thirteen and half miles an hour. Thus. if they are not delayed. and are able to keep running steadily, night and day, they make the trip in sixteen
