A COUPON TICKET QUESTION AAIN
The Passenger Agents' Association met
yesterday and decided to make a rate of 2
cents per mile within a radius of 125 miles
for the May Festival. The railroads -were
determined that, this time, the newspapers
should not he given an opportunity to say
that other cities could secure lower rates
than Pittsburg, so they looked up what rates
had been given Cincinnati for her
festivals, and the same rate was made.
Bezular fare will be charged for less than
50 cenis.
These tickets will be put on sale the day
before the festival, and will be good until
the following Monday. The tickets will be
sold all the week.
A similar rate was made for the "Wash
ington Centennial within a radius of 75
miles. These exceptionally lowratesare ex
pected to induce a large number of people
to visit Pittsburg on both occasions. The
radius of 125 miles was made to take in
Akron.
a risnnro club dxhteb.
Some time ago the passengeragents agreed
to offer fishing clubs the same rates as last
year; but in the meantime they wrote to
Judge Cooley about it The Judge replied
that such rates were illegal under the law,
as they are nothing more than unjust dis
crimination. Yesterday the passenger
aeents talked tne matter over, and, in the
face of this decision, concluded not to issue
the rates. In the meantime the association
will correspond with Judge Cooley to see
what reductions in rates can be made forthe
fishing clubs. The majority of the agents
think that some arrangement can be made
bv which the club rates will be less than the
tourist rates. If the roads issued the regu
lar fishing club rate, they would have to
give the public the benefit of them, and this
would necessitate excursions every day
something that the roads could not stand.
The rate to Sew York on the B. & O. for
the Washington Centennial is $13 32. The
prtrons of the road are anxious to knew it
the tickets will be good to stop off at
"Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Division Passenger Agent Smith said yes
terday that he
HAD RECEIVED KO ETSTBUCTIONS
either way, and he did not know what de
cision would be given. The Iiydia Thomp
son Company will go over this road to
Philadelphia, and Ada Gray to Cincinnati.
The commercial agents of the country
have repeatedly asked the passenger
agents toissueal,000-mileticket that would
be good on all the railroads. They claim
that, on a through ticket, the roads handle
their own coupons, while the money is taken
in at one office, and is afterward distributed
among the lines interested. They see no
difference between this plan and the one
proposed, except that a ticket for a certain
number of miles is issued.
The "Wisconsin Central has taken up the
fight, and is now issuing 1,000, 2,000 and
5,000-mile tickets, good on 23 railroads. An
effort is being made to induce the larger
lines to enter into the agreement; but, so
far, they have kept aloof. The leading
railroads say that while the scheme would
be a great accommodation to traveling men,
it would have the effect to divert trade from
their roads to the smaller lines.
ANIMAL FOOD BARRED.
How a 'Wife Kovr Seeking Divorce Wu
Starred Down to a Point , Where She
Wouldn't Kan the Home Other Cases.
George D. Shaw, commissioner in the di
vorce case of Joanna Ballard against Geore
Ballard, yesterday filed the testimony taken
in the case. The evidence given by Mrs
Ballard showed that she had been submitted
for several years to cruelty, abuse, threats,
etc She stated that, shortly alter they were
married, her husband laid down a set of
rulesone of which was that she was not to
eat meat, butter, eggs, lard, milk or cheese.
He said that that kind of food would make
her big and she would run the house, as his
brother's wife did.
As a result of the diet she was put on, it
was stated, she grew thin and sickly. The
couple lived in the Thirteenth ward.
Mrs. Emma Shjble sued for a divorce
from Joseph G. Shible. She claimed that
he abused her, and, pointing a revolver at
her head, threatened to kill her. She was
compelled by his treatment to leave him.
Other suits for divorce were entered by
Alfred Harris against Elizabeth Harris, for
desertion; Maggie L. Ziegler against John
X. Ziegler, tor desertion, and Catharine
Laubengerger against Gotleib Laubenger

BUST FLOWEE DEALERS.
The Stores Crowded All Day Long With
Fonejr Loving Patrons.
The many fipwer stores in the city pre
sented a bnsy scene yesterday. Everybody
from the errand boy to the proprietor was
engaged in arranging bouquets. The flower
booths at the market houses were also very
plenteously supplied and largely patron
ized. The Easter lily is the favorite, and no
bouquet is complete without one of these
beautiful blossoms. The old German cus
tom of presenting flowers on Easter has
taken a strong hold upon Americans, and
the displays in homes and churches will be
very lavish.
' More money has been expended for flowers
this year than for any previous Easter Day.
Eastercards and souvenirs are also very
popular this year.
HE UNAN1M0USLT ADJOURNED.
One Bnalneis Man Responds to the Tiro
Mayors' Simmons In Vnln.
The meeting of business men called by
Mayor McCallin and Mayor Pearson to take
Action toward inviting the Grand Army of
the Sepublic to hold the next National En
campment in Pittsburg, failed to material
ize yesterday. It was to have been held in
Common Council chamber, and at the hour
fixed several Grand Army men were present
to give any information that might be re
quired. One business man put in an appearance;
but, as he did not feel inclined to bear all
the expense, he decided to adjourn. This is
probably the end of the idea of holding a
National Encampment in Pittsburg.

A number of mediums passed through
the city yesterday en route for New York.

A B0I CHOIR.
One to be Formed nt Si. Paul's Congre
gational Singing May Follow How It
Was Inangnrated In Gotham.
Bev. Father "Wall, rector of St Paul's
Cathedral, is consideiing the project of
having a boy choir in the church, to sing
at vespers. The matter has not taken defi
nite shape, but as soon as a director can be
found the choir will be formed. The regular
paid choir will still continue to sing at the
high mass, and the other will be used upon
other occasions. The singing of the boy
choir will be done from the gallery in the
rear of the church.
In New York City the Paulist fathers
have inaugurated congregational singing in
all their churches, as will be seen by the
following:
One ot the priests directs the singing from
the pulpit, going over the hymns line byline,
in old-fashioned Methodist style of "lining out
the hymns," and the congregation then take up
the words and sing them, following the choir
master, who acts as leader. All the byrons. ex
cept the Latin hymn sung at the benediction of
the sacrament, are in English. The choir
originally assisted, bnt now the people do all
the singing themselves. The priests encourage
the people to sing, and the thousands of voices
respond heartily. Even the old are said to
catch the infection, and Catholics who have
been coming to church during a long lifetime,
and who never dreamed of snch a thing as con
gregational singing, are now heard joining
heartily in the hymns, while the young people
go home singing; and in many a Catholic home
where an English hymn bad never been sure,
now these hymns are beard. After Easter, on
Wednesday and Sunaay evenings, these hymns
will still be sung, and it is said that the people
will "be instructed with the rehearsals, at which
new tunes and hymns will be ta-sht.
The founder of this movement for congrega
tional singing is the Paulist father, Bev. Al
fred Young. He is an old man, who has been
connected with a choir, either Protestant or
Catholic, ever since he was eight years old. In
18S4, after vespers, he nsed to rehearse hymns
with his people, and this suggested the move
ment. Father Youpg is said to have great faith
in his innovation, and be predicts that some
day, in all Catholic churches, it will become
general, as a means towards intelliccnt devo
tion. He says that, by singing hymns, the peo
ple will gain more intelligent ideas of doctrine,
morality and worship. He thinks the people
at high mass should all be able to stand and
sing the Creed their profession of faith. It is
said that congregational singing is not new in
the church, as it was commonbeforetbe Refor
mation, The Italians put a stop to it by intro
ducing concert music
The scheme is to be tried in some of the
Baltimore churches also.

a "blind," by which the" liquor law was
violated.

HE ASKS NO LICENSE.
The Jolly Host of Mine Inn in the
Olden Time Seen No More.
BIG CHANGES IN 00R LANDLORDS.
An Old Genius Who Set Up Many Things
and a Jigger for 75 Cents.
BOSIPACE BEITLEE AND HIS 0EACLE
The jolly host of mine tnn, in the olden
time when the arrival of a stage coach was
an event, even in "cities" of the second
class, .has about disappeared. He wasn'tto
be seen in the late sessions of the License
Court, and he won't get a license this week.
He was usually a genius in his way, more
affable, if not so polished, than a Chester
field. Furthermore, in his rude way, he
was a man of character and standing in the
community. He was forced to be, for he
could not get a license to entertain travelers
if he could not get 12 responsible men to
vouch for his respectability and capability.
It is true an unsuccessful applicant for
license, an Irishman, 40 years ago, remarked
to a "Western Pennsylvania Judge "Divil
the character a man needs to sell whisky."
There were, however, good reasons why
the inn keeper should be a man ot char
acter Not only were the safety and com
fort of the traveling public in his hands;
but the liquor selling privilege was only an
incident in the business, and a man soon
lost cast if he allowed his place to become a
doggery. The theory of the law was, that
as people traveled either on foot, or on
horseback, or in coach, they were exposed
to inclement weather and often" needed a
little stimulant either to prevent their
energies from flagging or to guard against
catching cold, which is another name from
fever.
Then, too, the resident population occa
sionally need a little wine
FOB THEIB STOMACH'S SAKE,
and for their often infirmities, and they
came to the village, or roadside tavern, oc
casionally not only to get a 3-cent drink of
pure Monongahela out of a water glass, but
to hear what was going on in the great world
outside. As our forefathers were a heavy
handed set when elevated, it was necessary
that a tavern keeper should be a man with
sufficient firmness to prevent excess in
tippling and consequent brawls. In the
old-time tavern the higher grade of keepers
did not, as a rule, want a loafer or recog
nized toper to be aronnd the barroom, and,
as it was not supposed that boys needed
whisky, they were not encouraged to
be about, unless their business called
them there. As evidence of the fact, that
bar was not regarded as the chief source of pro
fit in thosedays;aslateas 1855, teamsters who
stopped at Blackheart's, in Blairsville, or at
Gnmper's in Indiana county, were given
supper, bed, breakfast, feed for two
horses and a "jigger" night and morning
for 75 cents. They paid the 75 cents whether
they took the "jiggers" or not. In this re
spect it was different from the management
of Teddy Byan, who had a contract some
years before on the Pennsylvania and Ohio
canal, when it was being dug. Teddy was
regarded as a model contractor. He always
had several barrels of snake-bite cure on
hand, and he paid $13 a month and board
and nine jiggers a day, and as much as a man
wanted to drink at night, and never
charged a cent for the booze, simply "toofc it
out of the worker's wages," no "Wishart
molesting ordaring to make afraid.
HE IS OKLT A BEMSTAITT,
The old-fashioned innkeeper still lintrers
in some rural districts, but generally he is
only a rheumatio remnant of his old-time
prototype. Along with many other old
time relics, he is badly damaged by the tel
graph, improved postal service "and the
"Weather Bureau, and it isn't safe for him
to indulge in the practical jokes in which
the old-timer reveled.
Mr. Samuel B. Douglass, lumber dealer,
tells of some pranks played by old John
Beitler when he ran his famous hostlerie in
the East End half a century ago. It Beitler
couldn't do somebody up every day he
would lose his appetite. "When the first tel
egraph line wasbroughtintothecity.Beitler
for several weeks enjoyed himself at the ex
pense of the farmers, who came to market
and stopped at his place to refresh them
selves and their horses and get pointers.
He always kept himself posted on the price
of produce in the city, ana would, when a
granger wanted information, go out and
TAP ON A TEEGKAPH POLE
and then listen, with his ear to the pole, for
a time, and then give the state of the mar
ket and prices to his awe-stricken auditors.
In mitigation of the sin of deception it
should be stated that Mr. Bei tier's answers
were much more reliable than those of the
Delphic oracle.
Finally the Beitler oracle grew dizzy and
set some of the hayseeds on inquiry, and
they discovered the cheat by some study of
telegraphy. Beitler once played a very
practical but rather painiul joke on Daniel
Negley, and, escaping with his life, was en
couraged to do up Philip "Weinebiddle. The
latter was induced to sit down in front of a
rather hot fire in the barroom on a mild day
and have his arms pinioned under his knees,
so that he might learn a trick. After get
ting his victim placed, Beitler took abroom
and swept the floor with great assiduity.
Weinebiddle was sweating at every pore,
and the jierspiration mingled with the dust
soon covered his face and neck with a crust
of mud. A joke of this kind nowadays
would probably cost a tavern keeper a year's
profits, possibly his life, but Beitler's great
popularity enabled him to escape with a
whole skin.
PATENT SOLID ENAMEL TILE..

"We beg to call your attention to our de

the Buttler ArtGlass Company, of Fostoria,
O., for hearths, wainscoting, mantel borders,
etc. The ordinary tile is manufactured of
clay with a facing of enamel, and as all who
have handled it know, it will craze after
being a short time in service. The'reason
of this crazing is that the clay of which the
body is formed and the enamel on the sur
face are composed of two very different ma
terials, and they will not expand or contract
alike. In offering this new patent solid en
amel tile to the public we give them a tile
composed entirely of one substance, and that
solid enamel, and it is guaranteed never to
craze. "We have the tile in all the different
colors required bythe trade. "We also have

Though Other ImroTements.
The new Surrey Committee of City Coun
cils met yesterday afternoon and organized
bv electing B. B. Carnahan Chairman..
The first motion passed by the committee
was reconsidered. It was with reference to
the Diamond alley ordinance. A motion
was made to refer the ordinance to Coun
cils affirmatively. This was amended, re
ferring the matter to the City Attorney.
The amendment passed, but was afterward
reconsidered. '
Mr. Bigham was strongly opposed to the
ordinance going to Councils with an affirma
tive, when less than one-fourth of the prop
erty owners on Diamond street had peti
tioned for the improyemenL Tbe distance
from Smithfield street to Liberty avenue is
1,171 feet. Those who have signed the
petition for the widening of the street repre
sent less than one-fourth of this frontage.
Mr. Bingham wanted to refer tbe matter to
the City Attorney lor the purpose of getting
information, and he made the motion that
was passed and subsequently reconsidered.
The matter was finally affirmatively re
ported. ,
The other ordinances that were affirma
tively recommended were:
Authorizing tbe vacation of Granite street,
between Wyiie and. Herrpn avenues; tbe vaca

CANDT ALSO IN A CORNER,
The Rise In Sugar Is Followed fay a Pro
portionate Jump la Taffy.
v The price of candy as well as that of sugar
is on the increase. Beaders of The Dis
patch who have a sweet tooth had better
lay in their summer's supply. This appre
ciation of candy is due to the fact that
within the past week- the price of sugar has
been forced up 1 cent, and will go higher.
The Sugarr Tust has done it, and it looks as
if they were cornering the market. "When
sugar goes up 1 cent the price of candy is
also advanced 1 cent.
Common candy is now selling for 10 cents,
the price of sugar being 9. In reply to a
query for the reason for the price of common
candy advancing, Mr. John Messer, a well
known manufacturer, said:
"It appears to me as if the Sugar Trust
was trying to corner the European market
on sugar, and, as the price of the product
goes up, candy has to keep 1 cent ahead ot
it. The manufacturers and wholesalers of
this city are fighting shy on large orders
until they see what will likely be done. I
have orders on mv books now for only 4,000
pounds; but this is more than I Want to sell
at the old,prices. Common candy is now
selling for 10 cents, and I do not think it
will ever go lower than this.
"The beet sugar industry is coming on as
rapidly as could be expected. In Europe
they are using it, and find it is almost as
good as the Cuban sugar, While it can be
inide cheaper, and after the juice has been
extracted tne beets can be fed to stock."
Growth of Suburban Property.
Vhe old historical spot, Ft. fVance, lying
down on the P. 8s L. E. B. B., opposite
Neville's Island, will soon be a thing of the
past. The desecrator has been at work, and
the scene is rapidly changing from one of
pastoral loveliness to the livelier beauty of
the",suburban"viliage.TlThe,cTiange ispiar-;
velous. Three weeks ago, the passenger
on the train,, loosing out on tne contour
valley saw quiet farms just turning green,
and so sleepy looking that one could scarce
imagine the place to "be almost within the
outstretching arms of Pittsburg.
But ail is changed. Such a piece of land
could not lay forever in fallow fields while
crowded Pittsburgers were looking for
homes, and someone came to the front with
ability to convince the staid old farmers
that thev had hung on to this property
with characteristic persistency just long
enough.
Had the farmer gone te sleep after sign
ing the deed and awakened yesterday, he
would have been paralyzed. In that time
laborers, graders, carpenters have been at
work, streets have been plowed, board
sidewalks laid, hills cut down, and in the
center nestles a beautiful little statipn.
Thuslvanhoe has come into existence,
with the promise of a bright luture, which
its natural beauty and convenience war
rants. It has the best wishes of all who
must labor to purchase a rooftree for them
selves and little ones.

A STRANGE RECOVERY.
A Man Carried From a Death Bed
to Dr. Smith, the Magnetic
' Physi6ian, at
No. 502 Penn Avenue.
It is seldom necessary to comment upon facts
or upon that which is truly wonderful, yet one
cannot refrain from expressing profound ad
miration for the skill which is raisin- so many
ssufferers from beds of pain and distress and
restores them to health and vigor. It scarcely
seems credible that such marvelous results
can be obtained by the laying on of hands, and
we should .have been loth to believe these
wonderful ' reports of Dr. Smith's re
markable cures only for the fact that
we have been an eye witness, and see
ing, you know, is believing. What we see
with our own eyes we are bound to believe.
The following cases treated by the Drs. Smith
at tbe Grand Opera House and In their parlors,
at No. 02 Penn avenne, speak for themselves.
Mr. John Foley, who resides at Millvale, was
taken with a terrible pain in his right shoulder
upward of five months ago. The attack came
on suddenly, like a shock of paralysis. Tbe
arm oecame useless in a few moments' time.
He could not use tbe hand or move a finger.
A short time after the attack he began to ex
perience pain in the shoulder. The pain in
creased in severity for a number of
days, when it was discovered that there
was an accumulation of pus in the
shoulder joint. Mr. Foley applied to a doctor,
who opened the shoulder with the knife.
Large quantities of pus was discharged at the
time and a fistula formed, which continued to
discharge a thin, acrid pus. In this helpless
and hopeless condition he applied to the Drs.
Smith, the magnetic physicians, at 502 Penn
avenne, ana was cured perfectly. He has re
gained the nse of his band and arm. and is now
Well and happy. John McDonald suffered ten
years from sciatica. Mr. McDonald is an old
gentleman, and was helpless for several years.
He was cured on the public stage by one mag
netic treatment. Scores of cases of loss of
voice have been enred on tbe public
stage by one treatment, as well as
cases of. rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis, and, lnrfacV all kinds of
disease. All that the doctors do is to apply
their hands to the affected parts for a few mo
ments, when the cure is completed. Drs. Smith
will continue to heal tbe sick free of charge at
the Grand Opera House every morning this
week from 10 to 11 o'clock.
Next Saturday morning will be their last ap
pearance in the Grand Opera House, and will
close their public healing of the sick. Hereaf
ter those who desire to consult Dr. Smith may
do so at his office. No. 502 Penn avenue. Con
sultation free from 9 A. M. until 7 P. M. daily.
All letters of inquiry must contain two stamps.
Dr. Smith's office will close at 7 o'clock p. H.
