mm
Habits and intentions could be learned from his
postures when seated. He devoted many pages
of his books to the citing of instances. Were
lie in tbe License Court now, what a blessing he
would be to His Honor and the attorneys, lin
etructing them in the art of studying man
kind. -"
A few of the roost striking positions may be
delineated:
There is always a little old man with gray
chin whiskers, evidently a favorite with em
brvonic "Mine Hosts." He has legs crossed,
allowing his acquaintances to obtain a f nil
view of the broad soles of a pair of heavy
boots; he holds a broad-brim felt hat in his
hands, and the expression of pain that rests on
his face calls to mind the photographer's gal
lery, with tbe pair of cold iron stands for tbe
back of the head. It never chanjres. except when
the applicant's name ts called, and thenheKlvcj
a nervqns start as lr he had Just been awakened
from sleep. He favors the old style or black
clothes, brushed until they shine, and a collar,
but no necktie. , ,
Then there Is the man with abroad, red face
(usually a German), llberallv sprinkled with pim
ples. He fits with his Btlfi hat resting on his
crossed knees. The muscles or his lower Jaw are
apparently an unnecessary part or his anatomv,
as the Jaw usually drops down when not In use.
He awakens occasionally and mops his face with
a flery red handkerchief with wDlte snots, and
then alms at and hits an adjacent euspadore.
THE -WAKD BOSS.
Next Is the typical saloonlst, pure and simple,
who Is usually the greatest man In the ward. His
countenance usually has a self-assertive expres
sion, his halt Is always carefully oiled and
brushed. wlth.thereater part or the front combed
down over his forehead, as If it proposed to form
a union with bis eyebrows; It suddenly changes
Its mind, however, and starts back toward the
opposite half of his cranium. The other part Is
given only an insignificant curl and looks lonely
beside Its larger brother. He has a profusion or
watch chain and a large seal ring adorns his
pudgy hand, that Is swollen from constant Im
mersion Jn water. He is well dressed, haspollt
lca Influence, and knows it.
The temale applicant la usually a widow orhas
been deserted b her husband, bne is round, very
round, has a wheezv breath and voice, is dressed
In black, with much Jewelry and usually a large
gold wedding ring as a reminder of other daj s.
bhe waddles up toward the table and gives her
answers In a straightforward manner, making a
better showing than a man, and in almost every
case she gels her license.
These are only tvpes: of course there are others.
Jinny r these are men accustomed to deal with
other men at their worst, and they look It. There
tliev sit all in a row, Irish and German, English
and French, white and black, old and oung, pon
oering and debating, hoplug and fearing; now
wrought up to the highest pitch or expectancy,
then plunged Into the deepest abyss of disappoint
ment, waiting for a hearing.
Mcholas Kraus, S19 and I7S1 Carson street, may
have had the best of Intentions, but when he
culd not inform Judge 1 hlte where he lived, the
latter thought it was unnecessary to continue the
examination, and he was dismissed. Kraus wan
dered awav. while a sickly smile played hldc-and-t-eck
with the Individual members of a fierce sandy
mustache.
BILLY AND HIS HONOK.
To speak of Attorney Brcnnen without calling
him "Billy" would be as appropriate as baking
cranberry pies without cranberries. His Honor
and he had a short argument on prohibition In
the morning, In which the latter declared that
drunkenness was on the increase, and the sale of
liquor was growing larger under the Brooks law.
His Honor said that the testimony went to prove
thatthlswas nottbc case, as there isa constant
cUmorformore saloons. Mr Brcnnen attempted
to define "a 1'rohlbltlonist." but railed. His
Honor remarked: -There will be more Inmates
of the county workhouse to vote for prohibition
than members of churches " Mr. Brennen was
the attorney for Peter Fromm, who Is 111.
Andrew Kunzelnian Is the name of a man who
had hat Is commonly known as "a frog In his
throat" He also wore small silver earrings. His
examination was short, in fact, he had none at
all. as he could not understand JIls Honor's first
question, an inarticulate gurgle In his throat be
ing his onlv answer. Judge White became an
noyed, and cut the applicant off without any ex
amination at all.
Frederick Mgwarth is a modernized stole. He
informed Judge hlte that he never got merry
under anv circumstances, and nevew no never,
got drunk "BUlv" Brennen was best man In
this case, and was again pleasantly sat down upon
by Hl Honor.
Judge hlte asked Bernard Kemarkir he coaxed
a man to leave his saloon by taking him by the
arm and putting him out. It was a negative.
Ihls closed the morning session. During this
time no objections were made by temperance peo
ple to any applicants.
The trouble was resumed at 1 o'clock His
Honor had evidently dined well He was particu
larly easy on the first applicant, John Kacc: but
those who followed did not fare so well, as they
seemed to nave lost their voices and could not an
swer his questions loud enough to be heard.
August elll, 2408 Carson street, was met with
the question: "How many drinks did you have
this morning?" He positively declared that he
--hadn't had a drop during the day."
Anton Artman tpoke with a German accent,
ind clinched his answers with a violent up-and-tlown
motion of his neck when he wished to say
"les," and a horizontal movlon when he an
swered -o." His examination was searching.
Leonard Burgart confessed he carried beer home
in kegs after dark. This wound up his case. He
had a hoarder who was addicted to the same
habit.
AN IMPBESSrVE BEPLT.
Timothy Doyle, Si Eighteenth street, wants a
license, notonhlsown account, but because bis
neighbors want htm to get one. Placing his
arms akimbo, he would listen attentively to Hljj
Honor until he had asked his question, then taking
a deep "breath and with a scraping of his feet he
would violently ejaculate a "fair?" that would
startle even the most unattcntlvc of spectators.
He wanted to bring all his neighbors intoxourt In
order to prove that they needed his saloon. Tbe
managers of the surrounding manufactories ob
jected, however.
Joseph D. McCarthy proposes to keep a saloon
for hts mother, if he can get a license. He gave
straightforward answers and lnrormed the Court
it was a son's duty to keep his mother."
Charles Khulandt, H7bouth seventeenth street,
was asked lr he did not furnish beer to Dr. Barch
field, which was either sold or given awav by him
on election day. He denied that he sold tbe beer
to him.
Dr. Barchfield was called to testify In the Inter
est or Mr-Kbulandt. He testified that he had two
boxes orbeer In his dining room, which he fur
nished to voters in the interests or Dan Brown, a
candidate ror Council.
" ere you a candidate?" be was asked.
.o, sir."
'Had yon an ax to grind?"
No. sir."
You did It out or pure love or the thing?"
"es, sir. He Is a friend or mine."
He testified that he had got two boxes or bottled
beer from J. -M. Hummel, a wholesale dealer. He
said that he bad come to the court out of pure
curloslt .
.Were you ever a candidate?" asked Judge
White.
"Yes. sir; I was a Councilman and School Di
rector "
Did Air. Brown furnish the beer -then?"
"1 don't know, sir."
J. . lluhlandt. JS32 Carson street, says tbe
Lbtns dub has a room in the third storv of his
saloon.. They ba e a dumb waiter from the bar
room. The club has 90 members and meets on
Eunday He said he did not get up on bunday
(meaning be did not get up to the club). Judge
White, however, took as a meaning that be did
not get up out of bed, and asked him lr he slept
at! day bunday. Then Judcc White asked U the
Lotus Club wast literary club.
THE LOTUS ON THE LIST.
Khulandt said It was a social club, and that no
liquor was sold to them on bunday. He passed a
good examination. His attorney gave Judge
White an Invitation, on which there were a list of
nanes of the members of the club. His Honor re
marked that he would "like to seethe names of
tbe men who go there to carouse on Sundays.
Henry il. bell is the only man on the Southside
who has not had anv beer brought Into his house
during the year. He was refused a license last
year.
John Batter, 64 Nineteenth street, has a location
wilch the Chess & Co. and King glass works re
monstrate against, as It takes their men away
lronrwork.
John Stafford. 43 Nineteenth street, has a similar
location.
It Is wonderful how much interest neighbors
take In the welfare of a saloonlst. Not one of
them ever applies on bis own account; he Is forced
Into it bv his neighbors.
11. W Vieleman. IKS Carson street. Is another
victim of bis neighbors, and possibly of Judge
t hlle's.
Martin Voetsch said he "verkaufe" tobacco
clears. He Could not SDeak English.
"'You sell coflec, tobacco and cigars?" said His
Honor.
Mr. Voetsch did not in the least resemble a
Mormon, but with a refreshing freedom spoke of
hl tw o wit es, one on tbe bouthslde; the other in
Uerraany.
endell Daub, corner Mt, Oliver and Sharon
streets, could not satisfactorily deny that he sold
keys to his place at IS cents a piece. That ended
hlin.
Gustav Frledel makes Just G SO a week as Secre
tary of three building and loan associations, and
as with this salary he cannot live as befits a man
of his station In life, he wl6hcs to etart a saloon.
A BIT OF B. AND L. BOOZE.
Joseph Hock, 163 Plus street, confessed that he
got mad last year and swore at the Judges, but did
sot threaten to shoot them.
"Do you know a toll keeper over there?" be was
asked.
There's Coon' Cowan."
"Did be not get drunk In this saloon?"
"He has liquor of his own, which I gave him."
"Building and Loan Associations meet there.
Do they drink beer?"
Yes. sir."
"Where do they get their beer?"
"Indeed I don't know. Judge; I can't answer
that question." The applicant turned on his heel
and walked away.
Frederick Staudk, Washington .avenue, was
Fiassed over with a few questions. His chances
ur not getting a license are good.
For the firsttime during the day (1 twas now 3:30),
the temperance people took a hand in the fight.
Recording Angel Christy arose and called Bert
Duncan, and Messrs. Schuster & Pool, the latter
being applicants. Duncan said he was undergo,
and that ne bad drunk In their saloon within the
past j ear. He said tbe barkeeper had sold him
the liquor. Mr. Duncan very impressively an
nonnced that he was ticket agent of the Palace
bkatlng Kink. '
Joseph McKee. C348 Station street, was called.
Dunsan swore that he had also drunk In this
man's saloon.
Adolf Trager, Eighteenth ward, was called.
Duncan said he had also drunk In this man's sa
loon. Trager was represented by his barkeeper,
Michael bbermac.
Duncan swore that be never, so far as be could
remember, got any drinks In John Grant's place.
T. & A. Bodenhagen, 1401 Carson street, have
kept a quiet and orderly house. Their receipts
arc about (S to S7 rrom restaurant and rrom 130 to
S4n a day at the bar, and on batnrdays about (TO.
They passed a good examination and will likely
get their license.
JobaCaUarbtn, Fifteenth street, U a gnat
walker, he says, and spends all his time on Sun
day walking: only when he is In church. He also
has a Jug. which Is always empty on Saturday,
and Is never filled again until Monday. Three
Jugs of a gallon each. They are brought to the
house by the boarders, who get them at night.
He savs that he has ne er seen a milk wagon with
Jugs o'f beer: but he had seen them sell beer. He
afterward corrected himself and said he "meant
milk."
John DIenler, 72 South Fourteenth street, gives
as a reason ror getting a license that he was three
years In tbe army and was In the business ror 13
years.
John F. Donahue, 1S09 Carson street. Is another
man who has neighbors who pressed him to set a
license.
FrederlcUCletz was represented by his daugh
ter, he being lib His case will be considered.
SOFT IMPEACHMENTS.
E. S. Kennedy, 1321 Carson street, says he denies
the "soft Impeachment, and that he does not get
drunk; that he has only "been under the influence
of liquor a little," and that only bis "malignant"
neighbors say that be was drinking. His sales are
$55 a day, and on Saturdays about 140. His favor
ite expression was a "soft impeachment," and be
used It on every occasion.
Fritz Kanffield, 1506 and 1508 Carson street, says
be cannot make a living without running a saloon.
Fred V. KlpDcn. 1204 Sarah street, was so sur
prised when his examination closed that he could
only stand and look at his attorney. He was try
ing to draw the distinction between selling In bot
tles and In buckets. He has a saloon at present.
Peter J. Kcltz, SI Fifteenth 6treet, Is one or the
menwbo loaredlastyear."
Jacob Miller. 154 South Twelfth street, bad a
saloon and obeyed the law.
Terrence Murphvls a name familiar to every
Sonthslder. Mr. Murphy stood bis examination
"like a little man," and will likely be found at
bis old stand ror another year. His receipts on
batnrdays amount to from (ISO to 25 a day. On
week days bis receipts are from to fSO.
Charles A. Schuetz, 1405 Carson street, did not
respond.
John bchnrtz, 16 Thirteenth street, lsamanwho
was so scared that he couldn't comprehend the En-
fllsh language. His blunders were very amusing,
lnally he thought he comprehended His Honors
question which was:
"What reasons have you for wanting to start a
saloon?"
A nrolonged Oh!" caused the Court to smile,
while the spectators laughed. The next answer
was a little more so. It was like the flowers which
bloom in the spring, "it had nothing to do with
the case." His Honor kindly listened to the ex
planation of his attorney, and said he would con
sider the case. He treated the man leniently, and
It will not be strange If the applicant gets a
license.
riBST PBINCIPLES AGAIN.
The next minute the Judge was as stern as ever,
putting searchtng questions to Audrlan Wasser
man, HlObarab street, who fared badly.
The last bearing recalled a tragedy very common
In lire a mother with a boy in whom she placed
her fondest hopes, the saloon, a wreck and to-day
a living tomb for the boy in an Insane asylum.
A. Zimmerman, 1207 Carson street, was the appli
cant. Judge White asked him If he ever knew a
boy named John Jones. Zimmerman answered
that be had known him, but he did not know
where he was now. ....
Do you not know?" sternly asked Judge
White.
"No. sir," answered tbe applicant.
'Did not his mother notify you not to sell liquor
to her boy?"
"Yes. sir."
"And you did?"
No answer.
"1 know where her boy is to-day; and you ought
to. He is in the asylum for the insane, at Dlx
mont, driven there by the drink that you sold
him."
His Honor closed his book with a bang, and
looked at tbe man as he turned red, then white,
then red again.
The remainder of this city and the First and Sec
ond wards In Allegheny will be beard to-day.
DISAGREED AND ADJOURNED.
The Slllk Producers and Dealer Had a
Lively Meetlns They Wrangled nnd
Accomplished Nothing nt All by It.
A joint convention of the milk dealers
and producers was held yesterday in the
office of the Keystone Hotel, for the put
pose of settling the uniform price of milk
for the ensuing year and perfecting their
trust. The meeting started about 11 o'clock
in the morning, and did not adjourn until after
3 o'clock in the afternoon. The cause of this
delay can be best explained by the words of
one of the dealers, who said:
"We had a regular row here!"
This supposed row, however, was nothing
else but a war of words, which made one of the
men so excited during his talk that, instead of
sayiug milk shippers when he referred to the
producers, he called them "ship milkers.'
Soon after the meeting was started and
called to order by Dr. Irwin, Mr. Paul Martin,
of the dealers, stated that In consequence or
tbeir organization not having properly been
established, they wished to postpone the ar
rangement of uniform prices until next Octo
ber. He also said it was necessary to get these
producers wbo were now supplying tbe grocers
to come into the organization; otherwise there
would be such a cutting of prices that it would
be impossible for tbe dealers in the trust to
make any money.
Tba dealers also objected to the price of 12
cents a gallon as a fixed rate for the milk in
summer. They think it is too much, because
tbe grocers can undersell them.
The result of all the talking and argument
was that the conference adjourned at last to
hold another meeting next month.
From tbe way most of the men talked it is un
likely that an understanding will be arrived at
or a trust formed.
CLASSIFYING GOODS.
An Important Conference of Tableware
Slen Held Yesterday.
An important conference of flint glass
manufacturers and workers was held yester

David Puch. John Cochran, Spargo Young and
Thomas Hare.
The object of the conference was to classify
goodB in tbe tableware line that are in dispute.
There are several lines of goods on which there
is no price and the meeting was called to fix
the matter. At the close of the conference it
was stated that everything had been satisfac
torily arranged.
A PLUCKI WOMAN.
She Threatens to Kill Two Young Men
and Fires at the Officer Who Arrests Her.
Officer Eberhart, of Allegheny, arrested

charge of surety of the peace, it being al
leged she pointed a pistol at two young men

a warrant for her, and she fired through the
window at him. Lieutenant Scott was present
at the time and both tbe officers entered the

them. .He had to be clubbed with a mace be
fore be could be subdued, and both were taken
to the lockup. Reeves having his head and face

OBNOXIOUS BILL 242.
Another Meeting of Conl miners Opposes
Its Passage.
The coal miners working in the pits of the
Mansfield Coal and Coke Company and in that
vicinity held a meeting Monday night to con
sider Bill 212 now pending at Harrlsburg, tbe
object of which is held to be the introduction
of a patented machine ostensibly for the pro
tection of the miners, but really, as the latter
claim, to benefit a syndicate and tbe patentee.
Resolutions were adopted making an earnest
protest against tbe passage of the bill. They
were in substance the same as those adopted
by the Saw Mill Run coal miners about a week
ago. which were on tbat occasion published in
Tiie Dispatch in full.
Similar condemnatory resolutions were Also
adopted at a mass meeting of coal miners and
others, at the Duqnesne Coal Works in Wilklns
township, Monday. The Legislature was caust
ically criticized for its anti-industrial legisla
tion, and a halt was called in tbis particular
mining machine case. Mr. Powderly was called
on to join in tbe protest.
THE BEEWEES MEET

A meeting of the Allegheny County
Brewers' Association was held yesterday
afternoon in the office of P. L. Ober 8! Bros.,

gathering, and but little could be learned of
'the proceedings. Mr. Ober said he was not
present at tbe meeting, but that tbe organiza
tion was composed of the foremen of the differ
ent breweries in tbe county. Th'ev met, he
said, to exchange views on tbe manufacture of
beer, but could not say whether any other sub
ject bad been taken up at tbe meeting.
It was learned from one of tbe men who had
attended that tbe subject of prohibition was
discussed, but no action was taken toward tbe
prevention of the passage of the Constitutional
amendment.

CONTEMPT FOB THEM.
That's What Henry Warner Says of
Laws Against Prison Labor.
WRITES A LETTER 0 POWDERLY.
The Bill Now Before the Legislature
Scored and Ridiculed.
CONVICTS AEE NOT COMPETITOES
Superintendent Henry 'Warner, of the
Allegheny County Workhouse, has written
a letter to General Master "Workman T., V.
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, on the
subject oi prison labor. He says that he
has a contempt for any class of working
men who would concern themselves abont
entering into competition with prison labor.
He says that any opposition given prison
labor is an obstacle thrown in the way of
civilization and advancement. 'He scores
the bill now pending before the Legislature,
and says it should be entitled an act con
verting the prisons lnt Insane asylums. The
letter to Mr. Powderly is dated Claremont,
March 23, and is as follows:
A recent circular addressed by a committee of
tbe Knights of Labor to the legislature of Penn
sylvania, requests the enactment of certain laws
now pending before tbat body, presumably in the
interest of yonrordcr,among which is enumerated
an act TeBulatinR" convict labor.
I assume that the circular has the approval of
yourself and the Knights of Labor, and that it has
been lssned under yours and their sanction.
HIS MAIN OBJECTIONS.
I therefore desire to specially call your attention
to some objections to the passage of the act In
question, which is known as No. 477 of the tile of
tne House of Representatives, and entitled an act
'Regulating the employment ot convicts and In
mates or tbe penal and reformatory Institutions
within the State."
The title of this bill is a misnomer. Its pro
visions are such (and no doubt ln'tended to be so)
as to be utterly destructive of all Industries that
are now conducted In the several Institutions
named. The act should be better entitled "An
act for the destruction of useful employment and
hope of reformation or those, who through Innate
criminality, misfortune or otherwise, have been
unfortunate enough to be confined within prison
walls." It should be entitled "An act converting
the prisons and reformatories of the State into in
sane asvlums." It should be entitled "An act to
Increase taxation, " or "An act to destroy public
property of great value. '
Prison labor as practiced In this and other
States, north ofMason and Dixon's line, for the
pasts or 30 years, is the outgrowth of the best
thought of philanthropists and specialists, who
have labored incessantly for the advancement of
the best Interests of all the people. It marksbe
progress of Christianity and the nineteenth cen-tury-to
abolish It would be to turn back tbe
hands upon the dial of human progress and rele
gate all that has been accomplished In this line to
barbarism. Although these things shonld be ap
parent to the most superficial observer, yet I
cannot but conclude that they have escaped your
attention.
PEE CONTKA CONSIDERATION.
It is claimed, and properly so, that labor pays
the bulk of taxes. Can It then be to the Interest
of the laboring man to contribute out of his hard
earnings to the support of a horde of criminals,
who, relieved of the necessity of self support even
in part, would eat up in idleness the substance of
the land?
Take the Institution over whlcb I preside, as an
example, which I believe wonld represent in
large measure all the other prisons of the country
employing convict labor, and yon will find as a
rule the prisoners committed to Its care incapa
ble and inefficient. In fact, good mechanics
among them are rare exceptions. They are made
up In large proportions of tbe vicious, the men
tally and physically unsound, aged and crippled,
abont 10 per cent of the whole nnmber being
women, when the lists of Inmates are studied. It
Is difficult to repress a feeling or honest contempt
ror any class or free and Independent citizens of
this country, who would give themselves any
serious concern about competition In either busi
ness or labor arising from such a community.
This institution is not self-supporting by about
35,000 annnally, and It never has been in all of
the 19 years of its history. In the true sense of the
word, self-snpportlng by the product of Its la
bor. It Is true, that upon the faceo fits official report
some eigns or ten years since, it w maue to ap
pear so, but the result did not arise from tbe pro
duet of labor conducted with outside jtartles. but
from advance In price of stock on hand and from
estimates of the value of labor expended on the
improvement of buildings and grounds.
Our chief Industries are the manufacturing of
brooms, white lead kegs and barrels for refined
oil.
MAINTAINING THE POINT.
'We are the enstomers and not the competitors
of free labor. Tbe staves, headings, hoop iron,
nagging, bandies, wire, tacts, glue, broom corn.
etc, which enter Into our mannfactures are the
prodnct of free labor. Free, labor produces all
our raw material, transports them to us and car
ries them away. And never yet have I heard of
any objection from merchant or laboring man to
selling us anything that was needed, either for
general supplies or for the conduct of the business
of the Institution. The last census shows that the
ontputof all convict labor in tbe United States
was only 4 one-bundredths of 1 per cenh
as compared with tbe total of manufactures of
tbe whole country. This Insignificant percentage,
it must also be remembered. Is basedupon the
full value or the product, and not upon the value
or convict labor actually expended upon the va
rious articles or manufacture. If the true pro
portion of convict labor to the whole was actu
ally portrayed. It would be difficult to express Its
minuteness In intelligible figures.
A practical statement of tbe effects of 'the pas
sage or the bill In question upon this Institution Is
as follows:
It wonld convert over 140,000 worth of machinery
and tools Into little better than scrap Iron: It
would render useless shops and buildings of equal
value; It would render unavailable more than
Si:S,00o worth or stock and cause us to remarket It
at a heavy loss as best we could, and all this, as
stated before, would be the destruction or the pro
ducts of free labor only, and of property paid for
wiw tnc money oi me people ot mis county.
BARBELS AND THE STANDABD.
As to our chief Industry of barrel making, Its
stoppsge would cause serious embarrassment to
the Independent refineries of this section. The
Standard Oil Company manufactures Its own bar
rels and would not be affected, except by tbe re
moval of another com petltor in the market for
staves, which would give It a practical monopoly
of that business In this part of the State, bntas
several Independent refineries are dependentnpon
us for their supply of barrels. It would for a time
almost cause a suspension of their business, and
would Inevitably result in their almost entire
abandonment of the use of barrels fsr transporta
tion of refined oil to the sea-board, using instead
of barrels, tanks and pipe lines, whlcb are already
growing In use dally.
In conclusion, an act similar to the one under
discussion was passed at the last session or the
General Assembly or the State or New York. Its
effects are well known In tbat State, and are con
stantly making themselves more plainly felt. The
results are prisoners being transferred in large
numbers to tbe State Asylums for the Insane:
large appropriations tor the maintenance of
prisons exhausted early in the year, and wide
spread confusion and embarrassment resulting to
the management of tbe prisons, causing a loud
and Increasing cry for Its repeal.
It seems to me tbat a careful review of the whole
subject should convince any fair minded person
that this propqsed act should not become a law.
As per his custom in such cases, Mr. Pow
derly will probably reply to the letter in a few
days.
A BROKEN UNION

AFTER THE ISLANDS.
A Great Asphaltnm. Block Factory
Seeks Brunot's or Neville's.
DOES IT MEAN A BIG BEV0LTJT10N ?
Text for a Glimpse at tho Needs of Our
Own City In Paying.
COBBLES COST MOST, AFTER ALL
'Tis not of "the Isles of Greece, where
burning Sapho lived and sang," but of
Neville and Brunot, that we are wont to
sing, and that attention is again called to
an account of the growing scarcity of manu
facturing room. The inhabitants of those
isles have heretofore failed to take the tide
at its flood, and so have failed to be led on
to fortune and are not very much to be pit
ied, say the men who Chave attempted
to promote enterprises on them. The latest
proposition was to finish "Short" McCreery's
railway project and fill up the back chan
nel ior a stock and railway yard, but it is
hinted there are kickers on. this also, and
Mr. Shafer states that nothing has been
done lately. As the man who wrote the
stirring missionary hymn beginning "Prom
Greenland's icy mountains," etc., might say
very nearly as he said of Ceylon, "Every
prospect pleases, and only the inhabitants
are indifferent," or so cranky that they can
not avail themselves of the favors fortune
attempts to thrust into their lap. Added to
river transportation is the additional incen
tive offered to manufacturers by the fact that
the islands lie in the natural gas belt, and
they can have this fuel at home, though
were it to fail eventually, coal will be so
cheap for ages to come that the deprivation
of gas would scarce be felt. Brunot is
ALSO IN ME POOL,
Neville will be when Senator Quay's dam
projects are completed. "With that big con
necting bridge spanning the Ohio and with
a transfer boat, manufacturers could load
cars in their works and run them into any of
tbe roads terminating in the city, and thus
place their works in direct connection with
any section of tbe Union. All that is likely to
stand in the way is the probability tbat owners
will ask too much for their ground, or at least
more than manufacturers will be able to see in
it. One toirn down that way might have been
three times as large as itnow is had the people
who owned its manufacturing sites been able
to see their way to fortune by selling a portion
reasonably.
An industry is at present seeking a lodgment
here, and It might be well for the general
benefit should it be encouraged, not necessarily
subsidized, to take root. Messrs. Jacob C.
Daubman, William Calhoun and C. L. Work,
of Philadelphia, are looking for a site for tbe
establishment of a factory for the making of
asphalt block for paving.
The manufacture of these blocks here would
be of incalculable advantage, not only for
home use, but river and railroad communica
tion with the hundreds of towns and cities con
tiguous would give an unfailing market for
any surplus.
COBBLE STONES MUST GO.
It will not be many years hence when com
mon sense will decree that the abomination
known as cobble stone pavements must go. It
is doing tbis city great harm, much more than
the Chinese are doing. Pittsburg expends
more money, for its size, for fine draft horses
than any other city in the world, and it is not
only cruel and barbarous to knock them to
pieces on cobble stone pavements, but it is also
very expensive, and beside, the pavement
itself on streets where heavy hauling is done
costs three to four times as much in 20 years as
does the best pavement known.
Tbe materials for manufacture of asphalt
blocks are practically inexhaustible, and lie in
or within a short distance of the city. Tbere
is a deposit of solid hvdro-carbon, called Gra
bamite, in West Virginia, just at our doors,
and we have here the petroleum refuse and
tbat of the gas factories, and there is no good
reason why Pittsburg, in the next decade,
might not be as well paved as Paris. Then, if
the Lecislatnre can .be Induced to frame a
good road law, there is no reason why the poor
wretches in the penitentiary, Workhouse and
jail might not be taken out and employed at
work of which tbere Can never be too much,
and without conflicting in the least with the
trade unions that so strenuously Object to com
petition with convict labor. Prisons might
then be made self-sustaining, and with inci
dental profits to everybody, and farmers could
hanl more stuff to the city with one horse than
they can now with two.
PA1NTEES ABE SCARCE.
One Firm Signs the Scale and Says Trade
is Unnraully Brisk.
There will be more painting and deco
rating of buildings this year than ever be
fore. Carpenter & Collins have all the
work they can do, and are looking for more
painters. The junior member of the firm said
yesterday that they wanted more men, but
could not get them. They will be able to fill all
contracts tbey have, bnt cannot take any new
ones unless tbey are able to employ more
men.
Tbis firm employ none bnt union men. and all
must show a Knights of Labor or a Brother
hood card before obtaining employment. Car
penter & Collins were the first firm to sign the.
union scale, tbat is 33 cents per hour, and are
ready to pay, but cannot get enough of men to
till tbe contracts they have or expect to get.
Luck,
Is a word which should have no place in any
vocabulary. A man must have ability to suc
ceed, and a medical preparation, merit. There
is no luck about Sozodont, It was sure to suc
ceed from tbe first, because it was good, and
did all that was claimed for it. wfsu

THE LIGHTS LOOM UP.
More Brilliant Arc Went Up Last Nlbt
In the East End-175 Miles of Wire
Llnlns the City's Streets.
Some additional are lights were put in
operation yesterday, and last night 85 were
shimmering altogether. They were distrib
uted qn Penn avenue from the Forks of the
Road to Point Breeze; and along Butler street
as far as the cemetery; then alocgSbady avenue
from Penn avenue to Fifth avenue, and from
"Point Breeze along Fifth avenue to Shady ave
nue.
By to-morrow night Penn avenue will be com
pleted. Fifth avenue will be lit as far as Oak
land, and Forbes street will be lit from Meyran
aveine to Neville street. By next Saturday
the company expect to have 200 lamps put up
and lit, covering the entire lower portion ot tbe
city from the corner of Eleventh and Grant
streets to the Point. All tho rest will be put
into operation next week.
The company has, so far, stretched 175 miles
of wiring a straight distance almost equal to
tbat from here to Columbns, O. Two thousand
five hundred additional poles have been put up
by tbe company, aside from those that were
already being nsed by tho company for Incan
descent liehtincr.
One of tbe officials of tbe East End Electric
Light Company, in speaking of the various
causes of delay, said to a reporter yesterday:
"Tbe main cause of that trouble was simply
the want of material. We had to get tbe poles
from Canada, and- the machinery and other
things from so many different factories tbat it
was impossible to have everything ready on the
spur of tbe moment. This is a very large con
tract, and, of coarse, inasmuch as we did not
knoto beforehand that we wern going to bave
tbe contract, we did not have everything on
hand. However, everything is all right now;
the material is all here, and the work will be
pushed now until all is ready."
Next week the incandescent lamps trill be
put np along the alleys and back streets of tbe
city. Them will be 4,000 of them. These
lamps are attached to a very ingenious piece of
machinery, which enables the men to put them
on the gas lamp poles by simply removing tbe
globes. Then the Incandescent tamp will be
screwed on.
As far as it can be calculated, there will be a
great deal more wiring necessary to put up tbe
incandescent lights than tbe arcs. All the in
candescent lamps will be lit up from the Cen
tral station, at tbe rate of 600 at a single turn
of the switch.
WOEKINGMEN NEGLECTED.
The W. C. T. U. to Appoint a Committee to
Look After Their Votes.
A meeting of the County W. C. T. TJ.
was held in the Third TJ. P. Church yester
day afternoon for the purpose of having a
conference in regard to the amendment
campaign.
Mrs. Martin said that some of the dis
tricts were overworked, while others were en
tirely neglected. She referred to one shop in
Lawrenceville, where every man employed was
opposed to the amendment. There had not
been a page of temperance literature dis
tributed in the place.
A committee will be appointed to look after
the neglected districts. Over 200,000 pages of
literature have been distributed.

In niemorlam.
Fell asleep at her home in Youngstown,
O., on Sunday afternoon, March 17, 1889,
Mrs. Rachel McCay Reno, in the 81st year
ot her age.
Mrs. Reno was the daughter of James and
Sarah Randall McCay; was born September
9, 1808, in Philadelphia, Pa.
At an early day the family located at
Pittsburg, Pa., and from thence, in 1829,
they came to Youngstown. She married
the late Francis Reno.August 8, 1837. They
moved to Rochester, Pa., in 1842; returned
to Ohio in 1857. Since then with the ex
ception of a two years' residence in Girard
they have resided in Youngstown.
Mrs. Reno was a communicant of St.
John's Episcopal Church, and one of the
pioneers in the organization of the parish in
1859. Her husband waB senior warden from
the time of the organization of the parish
till his death in 1861. She left one sister,
Sarah McCay, and five children, James,
Henry, Sarah, Grace, and Henrietta, wife
of John T. McCurdy,and two grandchildren,
Francis, the son of Henry, and James, the
son of Henrietta.
Solomon says of the good woman: "Her
children arise up, and call her 'blessed? her
husband also, and he praiseth her."
(Prov. 31: 28.) This is the testimony of all
who knew her beautiful life. It was not a
life of smooth sailing at all times; there were
dark clouds; there wereftempests; but that
life was not marred; onlv made the more
beautiful. She was a Hannah of the present
generation, a typical Church woman.
While Christ our Lord gave to the world
liberty and her institutions of humanity,
He gave one yet greater, more sacred, the
home. It is there, surrounded by the holiest
associations that Christianity has raised;
the throne upon which woman is to sit and
rule supreme. Mrs. Reno was aiieen of her
home, and she has demonstrated whatpower
for good can there be exerted.
She was faithful to that trying seem
ingly commonplace yet highest and holiest
oi duties which God has committed to any
of His creatures the duties of motherhood.
As Hannah led little Samuel up to Shiloh
to the tabernacle to there give him to God,
so has she endeavored to bring up her chil
dren in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord.
The days of her years were many. God
crowned her faithfulness with length of life,
and that long life is a grand sermon on the
dignity of motherhood and its possibilities
for the faithful mother.
It is therefore meet and right that the
church and the home, where woman's in
fluence shines forth as the sun where she is
transformed into, an angel of mercy and
light it is well that they should lift up
their voices in testimony to the beautiful
life of Mrs. Beno, and with her children
"arise up and call her blessed."
"There are three words that sweetly blend,
Tbat on tbe heart are graven;
A precious soothing balm tbey lend
They're Mother, Home and Heaven!
"Tbey build an altar where each day
Love's offering is renewed;
And peace illumes with genial ray
Life's darkened solitude!
"If from our side tbe first has fled,
And Home be but a name,
Let's strive its narrow path to tread.
That we the last may gain."
