It Wns Only Supply and Demand,
Pittsburg florists scout the idea that the
mooted ''trust" in roses before the holidays
really existed. They simply cite the fact
that "corners" on such perishable goods are
impracticable. The high piices of roses for
Christmas were caused by an increased de
mand. A Dead Shot Officer.
John McGinnis, a shoemaker, charged
Officer Boyer with felonious and reckless
shooting. He says the officer was trying to
shoot in the New Year, and shot in his win-
dow instead. Boyer will be called upon to
explain bow he happened to hit anything
atall.
A Terr Bod Beginning.
An old man, William Burns, while hob

ADSPICI0U8LT OPENED.
The IT. P. Orphans' Home and Hospital
in Allegheny Almost Unincumbered.
The United Presbyterian Orphans' Home
and Memorial Hospital for Children was
opened in Allegheny yesterday. There was
a goodly attendance. The institution is at f
Monterey and West J enerson streets, nev.
J. W. Harsha and Elder H. W. McKee ad
dressed the children in a iappy manner,
and Rev. James M. Fulton spoke to the
managers and visitors. Mi s y Jane Vin
cent made an interesting report in behalf
of the hospital committee. '
A number of pretty songs were sung by
the children, some sixty in number, and
Misses Emma Eustis, Lizzie Dickson and
Mary Haines, and Masters Bennie McCor
inick and Walter Elliot rendered recita
tions nicely.
Mrs. H. C. Campbell, President of the
Board of Managers of the Home and Hos
pital, closed with congratulatory remarks.
The hospital is located on the rear of the.
lot occupied by the home, and is a pretty
brick structure, neat and complete in its
appointments. There are 13 cots, but no
applicants for admission as yet.
The home and hospital are non-denominational,
except in management and mainte
nance. The managers have 2,500 in the
treasury. They only owe about 1,400 on
the hospital building. Their property,
home an,d hospital, cost them 30,000.
THEIR FIRST PARTI.
Tro Utile Girls Give Tbelr Friends a New
Year's Entertainment.
Miss Frankie and Miss Daisy, the
daughters of Dr. Dake, of Penn avenue,
who are respectively 3 and 7 years of age,
gave their first party yesterday afternoon to
about 40 of their young friends. The entire
residence of the doctor had been put at the
disposal of the young folks, and they made
the most of their opportunity.
On the ground floor, the rooms had been
transformed into an attractive banquet hall.
The ceilings and the tables were beautifully
decorated, and the delicacies spread were
highly relished by the delighted little ones.
During the afternoon the children were
entertained with music, a magical perform
ance, and a Punch and Judy show. All
these attractions were under the supervision
of Professor Tony White.
DEMANDING A BIBLE.
Consternation in City Hull Over a Man Who

A man wanted to receive a bill during

Agnes, there wasn't one in the shop.
Reed offered him Zola's latest, and Web
ster's best, but the old man couldn't be
looled, and they finally were obliged to dig
the coveted book from beneath a pile of
Sundav school tracts, and the old man
kissed "it for $S 26 worth.

A 500 FREE LUNCH.
Dlarrels ia Eatables at the Dnqaesne Hotel
Other Hotels and Resorts Take Caro
of Their Patrons.
The climax of free lunches hss been
reached in this city, and last night, on the
first evening of the New Year, a lunch cost
ing nearly $500 was presented to the de
lighted patrons of the Duquesne Hotel.
This phenomonal spread was prepared
under the direction of Charles Weingartner,
Superintendent, who prepared with his own
clever hands the," piece de resistance
of the evening, a splendid natural
representation of the famous St. Gotthardt's
tunnel, of Switzerland. The device was ap
parently a marvel of Rnow and ice, with
trees and lakes, lifelike deer, cows, human
beings, and an engine and train emerging
from a gloomy tunnel. The delighted guests
would not believe until they had tasted,
that it all was made of cakes, bread, candies,
sugar and stearine. Then there were splen
did vistas of greens and salads garnishing
such toothsome delicacies as espic of
shrimp, au surprise of tenderloin au Belle
vue, turkey a la choisy, salmon decorse a la
royal et beurre du Montebello, besides tons
of plain dishes that caught the gang, snch
as ham, herring, chicken and lobster salads,
croquettes, New Year's cakes and Yankee
fish baskets.
Last but not least, and the crowning glory
of all was a tender, uentle suckling pig,
done to a. turn, and looking so life-like that
more than one well-known gentleman
turned from four fingers of McKims to gaze
in open-mouthed amazement and wonder if
he had 'em. The best known legal, profes
sional and financial men of this city stood
about the festal board and enjoyed this
prince of luncheons, while seven full dressed
waiters hurried in duplicates of every piece
asthey rapidly went the way of all mortal
things down.
Mr. Weingartner is the owner of the
American Hotel in Enon Valley, Pa. He
has consented, however, to take charge of
the cuisine of the Duquesne in the place of
Schlosser, and it was the opinion yesterday-
that even Prince Schlosser could prepare no
such spread as that where everything -from
truffles to fish, and fish to truffles, was just
exactly right.
At the other hotels, and in fact at all
well-known resorts about the city, esp cial
attention was paid to that distinctly Amer
ican, and distinctly enjoyable institution,
the free, lnnch, and whether it is the fault
of the lnnch, or the fault of the New Year,
the effect was the same, and the receipts for
yesterday far exceeded those of any day in
the year.
