SOME TEEY MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS.
Pierre and James 2faser, the two Sew
York agents of the much talked of English
brewery syndicate, were in the city yester
day, and in the afternoon held a conference
at the Dnquesnewith J. J. O'Reilly, who
is handling the Pittsburg end of the deal,
and Eberhardt & Ober, the Alle
gheny brewers. The utmost secrecy was
'maintained in regard to the conference, none
of the parties registering. The conference
ended before 6 p. M. and early in the even
ing Mr. James Easer was seen by a Dis
patch reporter incognito, and asked what
lad been done in regard to the brewery
trust
He said: "It has all fallen through. "We
couldn't come to terms."
He was asked for the reasons, but
wouldn't talk iurther, but reiterated his
former statement, and said J. J. O'Eeilly
would tell all about it if he was seen.
Later the reporter made himself known and
finding Pierre Xaser and two others taking
a drink of coffee at a small table in the
library, he asked Pierre about the state
ment made by Kaser. He seemed some
what disconcerted by the question, and
when 2faser attempted to talk stopped him.
IUEEBE BEFUSED TO TALK.
He said at first that if Kaser said so, he
must know what he is talking about Tak
ing another tack he said there was no
change in the state of the deal. At last he
denied that he had anything to do with it
at all, and said it was his brother who was
connected with the syndicate.
At last Pierre urged the reporter not to
say anything at all about the whole matter,
sayins it would only be wrong. When
asked whether Mr. Naser's statement was
correct or not he refused to answpr.
Mr. O'Eeilly denied later that tne deal
was at an end. He said that Xaser was
considerably off, and had no cause for the
statement "He said the statues of the deal
was unchanged, and that the options taken
lad passed through the hands of the New
Tork agents and was now
BEFOEE THE SYNDICATE
in London, who were expected to send over
their experts about September 25, when the
whole thing would be made public. He
said that Eberhardt & Ober met the others
yesterday, but he did not know what they
did.
In relation to the meeting said to have
been held yesterday between local brewers
'and representatives ot the English syndi
cate, William Eberhardt said last night:
"Yes, there was some such meeting, I un
derstand, but I have had no part or parcel
in it I am not anxious to sell out any in
terests I have, nor shall I offer my share
in the brewery for sale. There is no truth
in the so much talked of purchase ot the
Allegheny county breweries by either En
glish or any other capitalists, and I have no
idea that such a contingency will arise.
We have capital enongh to run our own
business, and don't propose to run it on
shares with any English or other combina
tion." BETBANI COLLEGE.

Chief of Police Kirschler, of Allegheny,
yesterday received a telegram from the
chief of the Cleveland police asking him to

tiary investigation. In the telegram it was
stated that the doctor was wanted on a

be sent after him to take him to Cleveland.
Upon going to the doctor's house on Car
roll street, Mrs. Maharneke informed the
officers that her husband was not at home,

WANT MORE LICENSES.
The Brpwcm' Association Meet They Claim
Too Close Restriction Cause Illegal
Llanor Scllinc
A meeting ot the representatives of the
various breweries in Allegheny county was
held yesterday afternoon in the regular
assembly room on Fourth avenue. There
were 12 representatives present of -the 15
breweries of the county, and they passed a
resolution which will be presented to -the
Court to-day, stating that theunderstanding
of the Brooks law, as far as they knew it,
was that any good citizen who applied for a
license should be granted one. The illegal
selling which is said to be so prevalent was
condemned, although the reduction from
2,700 licenses to about 300 in the connty, was
regarded as an encouragement rattier than a
stoppage of the.illegal business.
A comparison of the sales showed that the
Pittsburg breweries suffered from the re
sults of the Brooks law as enforced, for the
reason that the home breweries refused to
sell to places which were running contrary
to Ian, and the outside firms made capital
out of the position without paying a cent
license. They made arrangements from
Ybungstown and other bordering Ohio
towns, and put in their beer in competition
with the handicapped Pittsburg beverage.
One firm alone, Eberhardt, Ober & Co.,
found a decrease in trade of 9,000 barrels
last year on this ground, and others showed
an equal decrease in business, in some re
spects, and a tailing away generally in
home trade, caused by the decrease in the
number of licenses.
A committee was appointed to wait on
Judge White to-day or to-morrow, consist
ing of William Eberhardt, Harry Dannels
and Edward Frauenheim, to place before
him the facts in the case. The general idea
of the petition to be presented is the show
ing of the necessity ot more licenses as a
means to prevent the speak-easy business,
which is so much complained of, and at
present so prevalent Among other reasons
to be given for the granting of more licenses
is the admission ot Judge White, made in
open court, that he considered the business
was cut too short
The argument was advanced that people
who wished to live in accordance with the
law were compelled to sell without license
iu deference to public opinion in places
where one, two and frequently three wards
were left without a single saloon. This is
where the brewers say that the illegal sell
ing is blamable upon the courts. From
this point the rough class who see a chance
to make money starts out, caring as little
for license as for law, and puts the speak
easy into operation.
With these and other arguments of equal
strength the brewers will present their case
to the courts this week, asking on behalf of
the retail dealers for an increase in the num
ber of licenses. There is not one member of
the association, however, who expects any
change in the number before next May. At
that time, however, they look for a large
accession to the number of licensed saloons
and a great decrease in the speak-easy in-,
terests.
The petition will be presented this after
noon or to-morrow to the court, and will
bear the signature of every prominent
brewer in Allegheny connty.
DEEMJIKG IMMOVABLE.
Ho Is Determined to Blnrrv Oils McCul
lougn. In Spite of Opposition Hie
Mother Falls in a Dead Faint.
Thomas S. Drenning, white, and Ella
McCullough, colored, who were to have
been married, were still confined in the
Nineteenth ward station last night' In the
evening Drenning's mother, who has been
away in the country, returned when she
heard of her son's conduct, and visited him
in his cell at the lockup. Tbe mother
plead long and earnestly with him, beegine
him to overcome his strange infatuation.
Her son persistently refused to heed his
mother's advice, and emphatically in
formed her that he would marry Miss Mc
Collough. Mrs. Drenning became so worked
up over his persistent refusal to listen to her
that she fell in a dead faint, and it was
some time before she could be brought to
ner proper senses.
This fact did not cause young Drenning
to swerve from his position, and the mother
was led from the station with tears stream
ing down her cheeks.
Drenning and Miss McCollough will have
a hearing before Magistrate Hyndman this
morning on a charge of undue intimacy. It
is thought that nothing can be done i'n the
case, as Drenning insists on marrying the
girl and has the marriage license; this, it is
said, will have the effect ot quashing any
such charge against them as is now pend
ing. HITHER AflD THITHER.

TO BOYCOTT CHINESE.
A
Labor Movement to Drive the
Laundrymen From" This City.
ITMAY SWEEP 0TERTHE COUNTRY.
Six New Flint Glass Houses Fat Into
Operation This Fire.
0THEE INTERESTING LABOR ITEMS
It was rumored around labor headquarters
yesterday that a movement was on foot to
boycott Chinese laundries throughout the
two cities. The movement probably had its
inception from the action ot the members of
the Cigarmakers International Union No.
107, at Erie, who passed a resolution several
weeks age imposing a fine of $5 npon any
member of the union who patronized the
Chinamen. The other unions are taking
the matter up, and they threaten to exter
minate the Chinese in that city. Already
the influence of the boycott is being felt,
and several of the Mongolians have re
moved from the town.
In Pittsburg alone there are 68 Chinese
laundries, which give employment to 681
men. Their business is constantly increasing,
and a great portion of it comes from wage
workers who are members of labor organi
zations. By passing union laws against tbe
laundries it is expected that they will be
driven out of the business, and the latter
taken up by Americans.
CIGAKMAKEES TAKE NO ACTION.
A meeting of the Pittsburg cigarmakers
was held last night in Labor Hall. It was
expected that they would take some action
in the matter and carry out the idea of their
Erie brethren, but after the meeting they
stated they had done nothing about it Cor
responding Secretory George H. Konig, of
the assembly, said :
"I think the action of the "Erie cigar
makers is commendable, and something of
the sanre kind should be done in this city.
So far ve have not taken any action against
the Chinamen. It only requires someone to
make, the first move, when all the other
unions will follow them in the suppression
of the Chinese shops. Everyone knows
that thev are of no benefit to the communitv.
and to patronize them is against the spirit
of the laws of unionism. I cannot say when
we will take the matter up."
Master Workman Boss, of D. A. No. 3,
said: "I heard some talk about boycotting
the Chinese, but have not heard how it was
to be done. Any Local Assembly can take
the matter up, and present it to the District
In order to get it before ail the trades unions
it would probably first be given to the
Trades Council for indorsement Then the
unions could do as' they choose with it
A NOVEL QUESTION.
"The question is a novel one, and has
never come up before. I see that the Trades
Council of St Louis inaugurated a war
against the shops some weeks ago, and it
is being prosecuted with vigor, Some of
the Chinamen lost so much trade that they
had to leave the town ior other places. This
city is being overrun with the Chinamen,
and beyond patronizing the market they do
not benefit the town by their presence.
None of them become citizens, and it. is
well known that they hoard their money
to spend it at home. With $3,000 or 4,WU
they can retnrn to China and live in plenty.
While they are here they spread their views
among the depraved youth who come into
contact with them. Their laundries, too,
are not a benefit iu any way. They charge
the highest price for doing work and do not
spare people when they are in a hurry."
It was impossible last'evening to find who
was behind the boycott movement here, but
it is probable that the Trades Council may
take some action in the matter.
SCARCITY OP LAPOR.
The Building of New Glnss Homes Will
Deplete theJIIarUet Five or Mx Started
This Fire Where They Are.
A representative Of the new flint glass
house at Findlay, O., was iu the city several
days ago engaging men to go to work in the
factory at that place. Tbe officials of the
American Flint Glass Workers' Association
promised to have all the men he needed by
the time the factory was ready to start up.
Five or six new nouses will be in operation
this fire, and when they are all under way
there will be a scarcity of flint workers in
the labor market.
Secretary Dillon stated yesterday that
they could supply men for the new factories,
but after this has been done there will be no
available workers in the market until some
more young men have been educated in the
business.
The new factory at Findlay will be under
the management of "Goff" Keefer, formerly
of the Southside, and it is expected they
will be ready to start this fall. They will
run a 12-pot furnace and give employment
to about 180 men. They will make chim
neys and iron mold ware exclusively.
The latest scheme in the trade is anew
prescription house at Tarentum. They will
have 14 pots and will give employment to
about zio men. Uharles uyers, late mana
ger at Flaccus& Co. 's Works, will be the
manager of the new plant.
The new prescription house at California,
Pa., is almost ready and will start up Sep
tember 25. John Auth, formerly manager
at Wightman's house, on the Southside,
will be in charge of the new works. They
will give employment to about 120 hands.
A local union of the Association has been
organized at the factory and it will be known
as No. 10L
The new tableware house at Greensburg
will be ready to start in November. This
is the old plant of the Brilliant Glass Com
pany, at Brilliant, O. They will move all
their employes to Greensburg. The Spe

also moving their plant to East Jeannette.
The company that has been operating
Storm's old factory at Philadelphia are also
building in Jeannette.
Bryce Brothers, of the Southside, will start
up another furnacenext week.
THE SECRET BOYCOTT,
Another Meeting of tbe. Committee What
They Reported.
Another meeting of the committee having
in charge the Marvin secret boycott was
held last night Reports were read from
different committees representing trades
unions showing the progress of the work.
One committee reported that they learned
that the factory was onjy running three
days per week. This was caused by poor
business lost by the grocers withdrawing
their patronage. In one ward alcne in
Allegheny the committee reported over 20
customers had been taken front tho firm.
The work against the firm is being con
dncted'by every labor organization in the
city. It was reported, that Mr. Marvin
stated he would make his works union if the
K. of L. organized the Cleveland bakers.
PITTSBUEGERS AHEAD,

river met yesterday in the office of the Pitts
"bnrgh and Southern Coal Company. The
object of the meeting was to consider the
action of the Louisville Bridge Company
and discuss the matter of selling out to the
Eastern syndicate. An informal talk was
held about the latter, but nothing was done.
The negotiations, it was stated, are still go
ing on, but a number of operators are afraid
the deal will not be closed. Walton & Co.

The master horse shoers of this city are
determined not .to grant' the demands of

ment for 75 horse shoers, stating they will
pay them from 516 CO to $20 per week. They
met last night, and again refused the ad
vance in pay and reduction of Satnrday
hours. The reports showed all the master
shoers standing firm.
SHOT WHILE ASLEEP.
William A. Smith Murders His Wife In a
Cold-Blooded manner Ho Makes a
Feint at Suicide.
About 1:30 yesterday morning William
A. Smith killed his wife by shooting her
through the head at their residence, 121
Pulton street The shot was fired while
Mrs. Smith was sleeping and the burns of
the powder on the left temple showed that
the murder was a most deliberate one.
Smith then fired three shots apparently very
carefully at himself, all being flesh wounds
and none of them promising very fatal re
sults. He notified his neighbor, Bobert
Bagaley, an officer of the police force, about
7 a.m. yesterday, that he wanted a police
man, and while Bagaley went out in search
of an officer on duty, Mrs. Bagaley went
into the room of the Smiths and found the
woman deag and Smith very faint from loss
of blood.
He was removed to Mercy Hospital, and
his wounds pronounced not dangerous, the
one in the head making only a slight scalp
wound, and the two on his left side only
showing how carefully he avoided any vital
bull's-eye in his self-chosen target.
Not so was it with his unfortunate wife,
whose experience matrimonially disproves
the proverb that second thoughts are best,
as Smith was her second husband, she hav
ing married a man named Turner eight year?
ago, who was accidentally drowned. She
had been married to Smith only about 15
months, and had been persecuted by him
through jealousy ever since she formed the
alliance. She left him about seven months
ago and went home to her mother's to live,
but was reconciled through his persuasion,
and returned to his bed and board only to
meet her death.
Dr. J. Guy McCandless yesterday after
noon made a post mortem'examination of
the woman at the morgue. The ball which
struck her on the left temple, split on the
bone and was found in two pieces lodged in
the skull. At midnight Smith was reported
from the Mercy Hospital as doing as well as
could be expected, and better than he de
served. The inquest will be held at 11 A.
M. to-day on the remains of his victim.
A MYSTERIOUS FIRE
Damages Captain McCloskey's Stock of
Yarn and Silk Goods.
A fire broke out in the third story of
Captain J. S. McCloskey's store, on Penn
avenue, yesterday morning. The house was
damaged to the extent of $600, and McClos
key will lose $1,500 on his damaged goods.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. When
McCloskey tried to pull the box opposite his
place he foend the keyhole stuffed with dirt,
and had to use a stone. The waiting room
of the Citizens' Traction line adjoining the
building was slightly damaged. The fire
men did great work.

WHYTHEY ARE BLACK
fie?. Caesar A. Taylor Delivers a Lect
ure on the Colored Eace.
PROOF BIBLICAL AND SCIENTIFIC,
Showing That the Caucasian is a Brother
to the African.
A HEW THEORY ON FLAT K0SES
Bev. C. A Taylor, Secretary to the Colored
Bepublican Organization, of New York,
lectured last night at tbe Avery Mission
Church, Allegheny. The subject of the dis
course was, "The Negro Bace; Why it Dif
fers from its Kindred Baces in Color and
Outward Appearance."
Bev. G. V. Holliday took the chair, and
briefly introduced the lecturer to his
andience. Mr. Taylor said that he would
speak on his subject under two heads: First
as to the negro race being of common parent
age with the whites, and, secondly, as to the
scientific causes why the negroes gradually
changed from their original color to their
present hne.
The Caucasian races were in the habit of
villifying, and often, of persecuting, the
negro, justifying such actions on the ground
that the two peoples are not of common
origin. That this was a fallacy, holy writ
would prove to all believers. To the scep
tical another form of argument must be
used, namely, the scientific As to the
Bible proofs of the descent of black and
white from the same parents, they were
numerous. The whole story of Noah, with
his cursing of the unhappy Canaan, and the
wonderful support which the whole legend
receives from the ancient historian s,inregard
to dates, etc., left very little doubt as to its
authenticity.
ANCIENT MIGHTY ETHIOPIANS.
The reverend lecturer then proceeded to
describe the gradual migration of the chil
dren of Canaan into Africa. He enlarged
upon the fact that so many of the mighty
men of old, with whose name and fame the
world is familiar, were of the cursed race of
Canaan. Nimrod was Canaan's son. The
proud dynasty of the Pharoahs, under the
shadow of whose power the Shemitics were
forced to cower, were likewise sprung from
Canaan. Egypt under Canaanite rule was
a country where the arts and sciences were
cultivated in all their perfection. Why
should not the Afro-American of to-day
make his race tamous in the same glorious
paths trodden by his forefathers?
Having quoted extensively from theBible
in support or the Canaan theory, Mr. Tay
lor passed on to the scientific division of his
leoture. He said: "To the skeptic there
are other proofs of our common origin with
the white man. We know that man's
growth, complexion and health depend
largely on the locality in which he lives,
and the peculiar kind of food which that lo
cality produces. It is my theory that the
sun, and the heat that it gives forth, are the
true causes of the Canaanite's change
from white to black. Cast your
eye over the three great continents
of the Old World. In Europe the
climate is temperate, but grows hotter to
ward the south. Consequently we find that
in the north of Europe the people are light
complexioned, while in the south they are
of swarthy skin. In Asia it is the same.
The southern portion, through which the
equator passes, nroduces the Hindoo races.
all of whom are blacks. Africa, which lies
in the hottest part of the globe, also pro
duces black men. Had the sons of Canaan
settled in Europe, and the children of
Japhet in Atrica, we negroes might have
been Southern slaveholders, and the domi
neering Caucasians our slaves." .
COLOR IN THE CUTICLE.
Mr. Taylor then pointed out that every
man was possessed of three skins. The
first skin, or cuticle, and the third skin, or
cutis vera, were colorless. It was the mid
dle skin which gave the coloring matter.
This second skin was dinted with little cells,
and in these cells was stored a limpid fluid.
Under the cuticle of a white man this se
creted fluid was mixed with a colorless
liquid, and produced a red tinge. In the
Mongolian this mixing fluid was partially
dried up, and abrownishcolorwasproduced.
In the negro it was dried up altogether by
the tremendons power of the sun and turned
into black. If blood were left in a saucer
till the moisture had evaporated out of it,
it would become black. It was just the
same with the coloring matter of man. The
sun had turned the sons of Canaan from
white men to negroes. As to the hair of tbe
African, its crispness was due to the same
cause heat. If a Caucasian put his hair
close to a fire it also would shrivel up and
grow crisp.
The flat noses with which negroes were
usually depicted would soon be things of
the past. "Their cause," said Mr. Taylor,
"is to be sought in recent times. Our lath
ers and grandfathers, when enduring the
horrors of slavery, were compelled to carry
heavy burdens on their heads. The weight
pressed on the frontal bone, which in turn
pressed down the delicate construction of
the nose, spreading that feature out over
the face. In the native African races the
fiat nose is uncommon, except among na
tions who have become slaves of their more
powerful neighbors."
The leeturer then announced the subject
of his discourse concluded, remarking that
it was notby the color and form that man
was to be judged. It was the soul within
which was the true index of his character.
The negro race was waxing stronger every
day, thriving under the very branches ot
the upas trees of prejudice and persecution.
Some day men would be called upon to
recognize new Pharaohs, and the world of
the future would be proud to grasp the
negro's hand.
A vote of thanks to the lecturer was pro
posed by Key. G. V. Holliday and passed
unanimously. The meeting then separated.

With Olarked Success.
Peter Griffin, who was sentenced for six
years to the penitentiary 18 months ago for
robbing a store, developed symptoms of in
sanity, and after serving six months was
sent to Diimont. Yesterday morning he
made his escape from the hospital' nnd is

was playing 'possum on the hospital au
thorities to make his escape.
Stnrtcd as a Newsboy.
A boy named John Lape, alias John Mol
loy, IS years old, was picked up yesterday
by the Allegheny police. He had been
adopted from a children's home at Irwin 'by
Patrick Molloy, of Braddock, and said that
he had run away from home because his
foster father abused him. He was turned
over yesterday afternoon to Agent Dean, of
the Anti-Cruelty Society, who placed him
in the Newsboys' Home, and gave him a
financial start as a newsboy.
COME HOME AT ONCE.
Tho Command Which Michael J. Dougherty
Gave His Daughter lie Is Prosecuted
by Agent BI. J. Dean.
Michael J. Dougherty was arraigned last
night before Alderman Porter, in'Lawrence
ville, lor cruelty to his lG-year-old daughter,
Stella, who has for several months been
serving as a domestic in the Fifteenth ward.
A few days ago the gentleman for whom
Stella is .working applied to Agent O'Brien,
of the Humane Society, for protection from
her father, saying that he was threatening
her with harm if she did not pay over to
him her earnings. Mr. O'Brien refnsed, for
personal reasons, to take the case, and re
ferred the gentleman to Agent Dean, of the
Anti-Cruelty Society, who began a vigorous
investigation.
On Wednesday an information was filed
before Alderman Porter, of the Fifteenth
ward, by Mr. Dean, against Michael J.
Dougherty, for cruelty to his daughter,
Stella, in depriving her of support Mr.
Dougherty is married to his second wife,
and has six children in all. He is at present
a time keeper for the Malleable Iron Works,
at the corner of Smallman and Thirty-
second streets. '
Agent Dean says that last Saturday after
noon Dougherty went to the house where
Stella is employed as a domestic and de
manded her wages. The money was not
paid to him and he left with threats.
On Sunday he wrote the following letter
to his daughter, sending it by a smaller
sister: .
PrrTsurBo Malleable Iron Works, (
Pittsburg, Pa., September 1, 1889.
My Dear Daughter Stella I, your
father, when you were born, and yonr mother,
that is now dead, and for three long weeks after
your birth, kept you alive and struggled this
life, through thick and thin, to take care of
you the best I could. But when a little bit of
poverty struck your loving father you left bim
in the cold, cold ground like a dog. But it
shan't be so. I demand you to eive up yonr
position on Tuesday and come home. Do you
understand? I say come home, or you comply
with my wishes at once, and send with the
bearer. I shall not go to see vou again only to
bring you home, and that I will do U I had to go
to to do it. As ever.
l our loving father, M. J. D.
Mr. Dougherty was arraigned last evening,
at 8 o'clock, before Alderman Porter. He
and his wife, who is the stepmother of the
girl, were present. Neither party was ready
for trial, and it was stated to the Alderman
that Miss Stella Dougherty, the prosecutor's
witness, was sick abed. The case was con
tinued until next Thursday evening between
7 and 8 o'clock.
STILL ANOTHER Y1CT11T.
John Morgan Dies in Pittsburg From Johns
town Flood Injuries.
John W. Morgan, whose remains were
taken away from Pittsburg to Johnstown in
a coffin yesterday, was a victim of the late
flood. His experience in the flood was a
series of thrilling escapes. He was in the
water for 12 hours. While the water was
filling his house rapidly, he, with his fam
ily, ascended into the upper floor, but it was
but a few minutes before they were again
within the power of the waters. Just then
a house came alongside their home. The
roof of the floating house was a little beneath
their window, and they thought it best to
trust themselves on the roof rather than
meet what seemed to be an inevitable death.
After floating about for 12 hours they
were rescued just as day began to dawn.
Mr. Morgan was bronght to Pittsburg, suf
fering acute pain throughout his svstem.
He was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital,
but he only remained there one evening.
He was transferred from the hospital to his
daughter's home, corner of South and
Thirty-eighth streets, Lawrenceville. He
suffered intense agony for six weeks, which
culminated in a paralytic stroke from which
he died. .
Mr. Morgan was 62 years of age. A re
markable fact connected with the family of
the deceased is, that he had three married;
daughters, with their husbands, one with
five children, another with two and one with
one child, beside a son married, yet all of
them passed through the raging waters and
were saved.

EXHIBITS GROWING.

the Absence of Machinery.
THE EATTER WILL SOON WHIEB.
A Moist Hot Day Was Not Conducive to a
Yery large Attendance.
THE OUTLYING COUNTRY ON THE M0YE
People who attended the Exposition yes
terday found it a very plea-ant place to
spend a few hours, bnt some were disposed
to grumble on account of chloride of lime
being placed on the stairway. Noses disa
greed, however, and some said the odor
was irom the tanbark in the floral depart
ment. It seemed to be largely a question of
nose, as some people said they enjoyed the
odor.
The attendance was not large, probably
owing to the preference of many to witness
machinery exhibits, which still show more
of promise than performance. It is proba
ble that exhibitors are doing the best they
can, as it isn't likely they would care to pay
for space unoccupied. It will be a fine dis
play when launched.
In the meantime most people find solace
in the floral and artistic departments. The
lights were better in the art gallery last
night, and lovers of paintings enjoyed them
selves. Those who had little or no art ap
preciation found enjoyment in the displays
made by the mercantile houses, foundries,
etc.
GOOD NIGHT FOB CABME2T.
The weather, capricious as a 16-year-old
maiden, was a drawback, but it put shekels
into the pockets of cab proprietors about 10
o'clock last night.
The railway companies' tickets last night
showed that the influx from the country
had begnn. This: should be a sufficient
hint for exhibitors to hurry up their cakes,
as this is one of the principal things to be
desired.
The Great Western Band was resplendent
in its new uniform.
The war between the official and non-official
programme companies continues with
non-abated fervor. Last night the non-official
representatives were fired from the
steps of the building into the street.

SOME CURIOUS EXHIBITS.
Outside of the Art Gallery, the exhibit
which attracts the greatest attention by vis
itors is the Edison phonograph display. It
is in charge of Mr. Browning, sent here
from Menlo Park. During the past two
evenings the crowd has been'so great around
the stand that the iron rail was almost
broken down. A double railing will be put
up to-day. The men in charge have a num
ber of cylinders containing band and piano
music which are ground out for the edifica
tion of the curions.

In the Art Gallery yesterday afternoon
the electric lights were shut on for some
time. This was caused by the change irom
the arc to the incandescent lights, the latter
being now in operation. The new light
system is a great improvement and supplies
all that could be wished to perfect the art
exhibit.
There are two things that fail to material
ize, both being for the benefit of the Ex
position, the Pennsylvania Railroad switch
and the Second avenue street cars. Both
would have benefited the Exposition had
they been put in condition.
On Wednesday night oyer J600 was taken
in from the sale of ticfeets, besides the num

who passed through the turnstiles was about
6,000.

Dr. DnlT Speaks a Ward for tho Sonthslde
Hospital Thev Are Badly Hampered for
Money and Stare Room.
Dr. John Milton Duff, Carson street, was
seen yesterday with reference to the pluck
ily conducted little Southside Hospital.
He said:
"In spite of the praiseworthy efforts of
The Dispatch in our behalf, I am sorry
to say that our friends have not materially
increased during the past three weeks. Iu
point of fact, we are struggling with rapid
ly increasing obstacles upon still more rap
idly decreasing resources. If this sort of
thing goes on the doctors connected with
the institution will once more have to put
their hands in their pockets.
"Xou see, the trouble is it's the South
side. That explains all. Whatever is got
up on the Southside is not worth subscribing
to. Then, too, as our hospital is small,
people think that a very small sum is neces
sary to keep it going. If they only' knew
how we are pinched for room! This very
morning I had to send away two very urgent
cases, much against my will, just because I
had no place in which to put them.
"We added three rooms, but two of these
are occupied by the housekeeper's family.
Besides, the rooms are wretchedly small,
and, as you know, frcah air and small
rooms don't go well together. We got a few
subscriptions from a (evr Southside mer
chants and manufacturers. Then I sent ont
subscription books, and one of these comes
in every now and then filled up. That is
our staple source of income- We have ap
pointed special finance committees, but
committees can't coin and the pnblic must
help us before we can be of any real use as a
hospital."
The little hosnital itself was snbsenuenllv
visited, and its spick and span neatness
showed that it wa3 in the hands of capable
people. A great source of inconvenience
and annoyance was pointed out to the re-
Sorter. A crowd of children are always
anging around tbe front windows, peeping
under the blinds and irritating the patients.
It is impossible to keep them away withont
closing up the windows and thus excluding
all sunlight from the sufferers.
