To-day. is ,the anniversary of the

Columbus. , He discovered the island
of San Salvador on Friday, October
12, 1492. He died May 20, 1C00, in Se

burled in Valladolid, Spain ; after
wards in Seville. His remains were
again removed to the cathedral in

Gold from abroad is coming in
quite freely. We hear no more about
a deficit or of an issue of gold bonds
vto meet it. In point of fact, there is
more gold in hand at present, with
more in sight, than we can find im
mediate use for. Think of $0,000,000
worth of the precious metal imported
in one week. Add to this the con
tributions from Klondike, Oregon,
Washington, California and other
gold-producing states of minor im
port. What will be done with it?
Must such immense value be allowed
to remain unproductive ? That would
hardly be in keeping with the spirit
of Amerioan enterprise, but that fact
does not alter the situation.
IT is probable that Schuylkill
county will get at least one political
plum from the present administra
tion. John P. Finney, of the Miners'
Journal, according to the Philadel
phia papers, is now in the lead for
the Nayul Office. Yesterday's
Record, commenting upon the sub
ject, has this to say: "For the office
of Naval Officer the leading candi
dates are John Finney, the Quay
leader of Schuylkill county, and ex
Distriot Attorney James D. Holland,
of Montgomery oounty. There are
many who are inollned to think that
Mr. Finney has the better chance of
eouring the office, not only because
it is believed that he will control the
eight delegates from Schuylkill
eounty to the next state convention,
but it is argued, by the securing for
Senator II . D. Baylor of a foreign
mission, as is anticipated, Mont
gomery county will not be so much
entitled to a prominent Federal place
here as SohuylkiU oounty would be."

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE 1
Each Trade or Occupation Has ItB Special
Disease.
It is well known among medical men that
certain diseases are moro readily developed
in certain occupations than in othors. That
oaoh occupation has Its attended physical
weakness. Engineers, railroad men and
similar occupations suffer mostly from kid
ney troubles and men who are often exposed
to tho weathor suffer from rhoumatitm,
while clorks and professional men, in fact
tho army of people whose business keeps
them Indoors, are oftentimes great sufferers
from piles and constipation. In this con
nection the following letter is of interest to
people whose oceupation will not allow suf
ficient outdoor exercise.
Mr. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and watchmaker of Wreleville, W.
Va., write follows :
I had been a severe sufferer from piles
for years and had tried many remodlos with
but little benefit, when about three years
ago I saw the Pyramid Pile Cure advertised
and sent for it.
I was badly afflicted when I got them,
but after only two applications the piles dis
appeared and from that day to this I havo
never felt a symptom of the disease.
I feel that I cannot recommend thom too
highly to suuerers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison, abso
lutely safe, pleasant and painless; sold by
druggists at 50 eeuta per package. If there
is any constipation the Pynimld Pills should
be used with the pile cure. Tho pills are
26 cents per package.
Any druggist will tell you that tho Pyra
mid is the beat known and most successful
and popular pile oure ever placed on tho
market ami its reputation as a safe and radi
cal cure has only resulted from the personal
recommendation of people who have been
cured of this distressing ailment
Send to Pyramid Co., Albion, Jtluh., for

tradesmen, headed by tho pro-syndic of

of commerce, marched to tho olllco of
the minister of the Interior yesterday
afternoon to protest against and con

relations and greater equity between
the tax collectors and the taxpayers.
In the meanwhile a large crowd of
people had collected around the min
istry, angry shouts were heard, and
some of those present tore up paving
stones and otherwise assumed a threat
ening attitude. This caused the pollco
to make an attempt to disperse tho
violent portion of the crowd, and In
the conflict which followed six police
men were Injured and one rioter killed.
The mob raised revolutionary cries
While the lighting was In progress,
revolvers wore freely used, many per

degree and nn unwearying and keen at
tention paid to the caso In nil Its dotnlls.
In taking down what goes on thero Is
considerable that should bo omitted from
tho proceedings, and this is whero tho
stenographer's judgment comos Into ploy.
Tho lawyers do not wish to have tho record
lumbered up with tho littlo sldo romnrks
of witnesses or Interpolations of tho court,
and yet they do not wont anything omit
ted on which n posslblo objection could
hang.
A Jndgo mny mnko a remark which
does not havo any particular significance
In a trial, and a witness Is apt to follow
up an answer by a subsoqucnt qualifica
tion which may havo much to do with tho
matter In hand. Tho wary stenographer
ana tho good ono scparntos tho wheat from
tho chaff, and what Is rclovnnt and Im
portant ho sots down. What is Immaterial
ho Ignores. Of courso In tho evidence ho
takes tho questions nnd answers literally.
And In tho taking of tho testimony ho
must always bo on tho alert, for hero tho
lawyers mny got Into a dispute as to what
a witness said In regard to some other
point in tho testimony, nnd it may bo nec
essary to go bock sovcrnl pngos to flint out
tho truth or tho matter. This tho stenog
rapher must bo nblo to do without tho
slightest hesitation, remembering just
about in tho testimony whero tho matter
camo up and reading tho notes without
tho slightest hesitation or Inaccuracy. Por
ceptlvo faculties of a high order aro neces
sary to tho success of a stenographer and
an octlvo brain and oxcollent memory.
Given tho Intellectual foundation to be
gin with, nnd It Is posslblo for a man to
becomo a fairly good shorthand writer In
flvo or six years. Constant practieo Is nec
essary to keep In trim for court work, ninl,
in spite of tho fact that so much legal
business la done, tho demand for experts
Is nlwnys In exocss of tho supply.
Tho court stenographer's work Is coupled
with not only a sciiso of great responsibil
ity, but a very high degree of oonfldenco
Is of necessity placed In him by tho men
who omploy his services. Tho appealing
of casos to tho appellate and eupromo
courts, necessitating tho working over of
all tho ovldonco and tho argumonts in tho
caso, must depend, as far as tho ground
for argument nnd tho truo status of tho
caso Is concerned, on tho stonographlo re
ports. It is ono of tho professions whoro
tho hand and tho brain comblno to pro
duco results, and tho first class expert is
moro truly Dorn than inado.
It Is ono thltiK to bo nblo to write down,
tho roport of t trial nnd quite another?
thing to dlctnto correctly from tho steno
graphic notes to a typewriter. Some, men
aro only fair nt reporting a trial, but get

A great deal of work is dono at night tor
