The Silk Department
At the Globe Warehouse
Is one of the recognized features of this city, because
it has not a duplicate for hundred miles around. It is
a complete department in every sense of the word, and
the marvel of every stranger visiting us, is that a city
like Scranton can maintain a silk department of such
generous proportions. But when you consider the fact
that we have been building it up and educating the
people to the fact that we carry everything that any
silk buyer can want, there is no mystery about it. We
have the stock, the outlet for it and as keen a grip on
the market as any house in the trade possesses. Silk
buyers will find this department exceptionally interest
esting just now, as it is bountiful of the season's new
est and best productions.
This Week There Is a Special
Bargain Sale of Fine Silks
Every yard of which is guaranteed, and as the values
arc exceptional, we suggest the advisability of our pat
rons taking advantage of this money saving opportunity.

By Internal Remedies.
The only sure way to cure every form
nt piles Is to Use a remedy like the
Pyramid IMIc Cure, witch is applied di
rectly to tho nnrts affected, nnd Its
wonderful henllng effects nro appar
ent from the first application, "becauso
the medicinal properties" arc rapidly
nbsorbed by tissues and sensitive mem
branes of the rectum, nnd tho cure Is
made speedily nnd almost before the
patient Is awn re of it every trace of
piles hos left him.
This lo one of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure hns been so uni
formly successful. It Is applied direct
ly just whoro it' Is needed and whore It
will do the most good. Not by the
roundabout wny of tho stomach nor by
tho harsh, barbiirloim methods of vari
ous surgical operations and so-called
systems.
Direct applications lo the seat of dis
ease Is the only national way, and this
is fully accomplished by tho Pyramid
Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thou
sands who liavo tiled this remedy Is
worth anything, then no sufferer hns
any excuse for longer delaying In giv
ing It a fair trial, knowing that when
you do so tho Pyramid Pile Cure will
have made one more friend, tho best
possible ndvertlsement we can have.
The chief ndvnntnges of the remedy
sire: It cures without pain, tho cure
Is lasting. It contains no poisons, and
lastly, it in tho cheapest and quickest
cure yet found. Your druggist can tell
you what It has done for others.
Testimonials of cures from all parts
of tho United States will bo sent on
application to tho Pyramid Drug Co.,

porintendont of the Sunday school, was
in charge ot the evening service. Tho
services this Easter have proved very
successful, the new choir and orchestra
contributing very much to their effi
ciency. .
TROUBLE IN THE "HUB."
The Proprietor, G. T. Monis, Ar
rested but Discharged.
Michael McLane, of Rock avenue,
appeared before Alderman Millar yes
terday afternoon with a frightfully
cut and generally "banged up" head
and swore out a warrant for tho ar
rest of C T. Morris, the Spruce street
saloon keeper, whoso place of business
Is popularly known as the "Hub,"
charging him with aggravated assault
and battery.
Morris was arrested and was given
a hearing. McLane swore that he was
in tlio placo with another young man
named Dwyer and that tho latter got
into an altercation with a woman who
was In the place. The altercation had
no sooner started, ho said, when Mor
ris pulled out a club nnd struck him
several times over the head, almost
rendering him unconscious.
In all the essential parts of his story
he wns borne out in his testimony by
Dwyer. Morris swore that McLane
attempted to strike him and that it
was for this reason ho struck him.
In this he was corroborated by his
bartender, Williams by name, who
averred that McLane made a jab for
Morris before the latter used the club,
The alderman discharged Morris and
said that he would tine McLane for
disorderly conduct if he didn't believe
ho had been sutllciently punished.
At this McLane became angry and
ivas lined $u for threats. He had no
money and was lodged in the Centre
street station from which he was re
leased later upon the payment of the
line and costs by some of his friends.

has a membership of more than seven
hundred members. That this organi
zation must comprise some of the best
talent in various directions to be found
anywhere Is incontrovertible, and the
fact that these hundreds of Individuals
with genius, ability and practical ideas
have thus formed themselves into an
association is truly commendable.
They will not only be of vast mutual
encouragement and inspiration but
they will benefit the city.
They now propose to establish a club
where entertainments, classes In high
er culture, pnrlors, a gymnasium nnd a
restaurant will bo maintained for tho
advantage of members. As a nucleus
to the building fund it Is proposed to
have a play at the Lyceum April 20,
under the association's auspices, when
the attraction will be the famous Clay
Clement company. Two performances
will be given and it is expected that
the prominent pcdplc of the city will
interest themselves In this most com
mendable project.
HE WAS GIVEN WATER.
A Mean Trick Played TJpon. a Clever
Tramp.
The bartender at Jones' hotel, at tho
.nviiu.. nf Knrnce street and Perm ave
nue, played a mean trick last night on
a middle-aged tramp who has been
working the central city saloonkeepers
tor annus uy 11 ciover u-ick. uuiink
tho last few days.
His modus operandi consisted in go-hit-
intn n. Imr.rnnm nnd suddenly fall
ing helpless on the iloor uttering well
felgiied moans of pain. Someone, of
course, with a sympathetic nature,
could always be relied upon to sug
gest that the unfortunate be given n
drink of whiskey to revive him. The
suggestion was generally acted upon
by tho bartender and in an astonish
ingly brief space of time the poor un
fortunate would be fully recovered
again,
lie made the rounds of a. number of
sadoons working this game, and se
curing freo drinks. Tho news spread
and when tho bartender at Jones' saw
an unkempt individual lying on this
doorstep last night in an apparently
uiicousi'inim condition, lie went Inside
tor :i drink.
The gentleman reclinging on the
doorstep winked his other uyo and
chuckled inwardly, but resumed his
semblance of unconsciousness when ho
heard the bartender returning. Tho
latter had the drink, but it was pure
water and not good ryo whiskey, lie
forced the unconscious man's lips open
ami forced the water down.
The aforesaid unconscious mun re
vived in an Instant and uftcr splttlm?
thu water out threatened to lick
everybody In tho place. Constable Tim
Jones, who was in tho saloon, tried
to pjtt him out, but wns unublo to do
so ulono, nnd was forced to call Pa
trolman Qulnnan lo his assistance. Po
iweeu ihem both, lie was lodged In the
Centre street station, but not until af
ter n, llorct) struggle.
ISTHMIAN CANAL ROUTES.
The Panama and Nicatagun Lines
Compared by Experts.
.Miller I'. V.ilt;cr ill tlie I'm urn,
Home, at least, of the members of tho
Commission were at first Inclined lo
prefer the I'anuma route to tho Nic
aragua mute, nnd the summing up or
tho comparative physical advantages
of each tends to the advantage of tho
fcrmer. To begin wjtl, a canal tit
l'annma would be veiy much tho
shorter, only 41,7'J miles In length us
against a total length of lSt.33 miles
by tho Nicaragua route. In tho former
route there would bo " miles of deep
water at l.nko Uohlo, anil In the Utter
route 17.-0 mile.- of San Juan river and
48.71 miles of Lake Nicaragua not in
quiring improvement, making M mllca
in all; thus leaving In 0110 cute 37,79
miles nnd in the other case 10.5:1 miles
on which eons'tnictlon work Is required
and tho maintenance expenses will al
ways bo demanded.
The elevation also is greater on tho
results In debility, lack of energy, makes
you despondent nnd nervous.
No wonder, when you think liow your
nerve force has been taxed beyond its
limit; yott have worried until your diges

become deranged. These arc times when
the over-wrought system needs assistance.

Nicaragua mute, the estimates nailing
for live locks on tlio Atlantic side and
four locks on the Pacllic aide, between
Lake Nlvaiagua and the oceans; tho
lake Itself to be held at a summit level
from JO t to 110 feet nbovo mean sea
level, by an enormous structuro to be
known as the Uoca. Kau Carlos dam.
Tho Panama route will require but
two locks on the Atlantic side and
three locks on the Paclllc side to reach
tho maximum elevation of from SL to
U0 feel at Lake Itohlo. This lake also
must be protected by a heavy dum,
ami the Culobra cut, so-culled, west of
l.nko Holilo, will bo 7,95 miles long and
L'7! feet deep at the highest point. It
Is estimated that eight years would bo
required to cninjileto the excavation
of this cut, which Is tho measure of
the time required to finish the ennui
by tho Panama route, lly the other
routo ten years in the aggregate aio
called for:, two years for preparatory
work and the opening of firoytown
Harbor, and eight years thereafter for
tho construction of the groat dam,
which will be about Ifift feet high at
the deepest part where a rock founda
tion can only bo reached 100 feet be
low low Water in San Juan river,
Tho cost of a completed canal uuon
each route ban been carofuly esti
mated, the same basin of compulation
of each unit being used ill both cases,
Thu result arrived at Is 00,5(0,000 for
tho NicuraetM mute and $1 12,312,579
for tho Panama rente, Jn the lutter
case, however, much work not Includ
ed In tho nbovo estimate has already
been done, tlio vnluo of which on the
same ur.lt basis Is given at $33,93MttJ.
The amount which bus been expended
by the Panama Canal company is much
larger than tlm total rcquliements of
that route would have been on the plan
laid our. by our commission; tha funds
raised for this purpose 'by sale of
stocks and bonds being stated as 52(0,
70(i,l3l,GS, for which securities wer
Issued o? the par value of JI.W,C3,J,333.6t).
lrom the llgutcs above given it Is evi
dent that about J3S,CUO,000 could now
be paid for the existing assets of tha
Panama Canal company, anil the worlc
completed on tho commission's plan at
the sama cost as that required for a '
cunal on the Nluruguu route, , , ,
