Wf RWV3f BBS DISPATCH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER- 3G 1889r' Ei-r ; rj, , ' ' : i THE PITTSBURG- !T WOMEN BY AMELIA E. BARR. Two young men sat at an open window smokies. Tbey bad had a good gallop, an ex cellent dinner, and were lazily enjoying their cigars, and watching the moonlight-flooded avenue. Out of these elements arose, through some law ot evolution, a vague, restless sense or want, which Will Van Alston expressed by a complaint: "There is no romance left In life now, John." John Earle thought a moment, blew the smoke leisurely away, aud anwcred. "Pretty near right, Will; in every American Utopia there is something business-like." "No Love's young dream. John." "We live too late in the day, WilL" And there are no girls who will dream it with yon." "All to wide-awake no." "I would like to find a girl who would marry me for myself utbout caring for a fine house, a grand trousseau, and a wedding tour." "Did you ever tell any nice girl thatT" "I raid something like it to Amelia Schom berg at Newport, last summer." "And? She laughed, and answered that the world knew better what we wanted than we did our selves, and thatonmost points It was more than even chance the world was right." "Well, I don't object to a woman wanting everything she can get; that is natural. What I dislike is their knowing everything. They have all ol them theories,' or missions. or something or other, and it takes a fellow no end of review-reading to keep up with those little Vassar graduates." "One docs not mind that much, if" "Oil, yes. one does. When I say something about the 'lovely moon to a prem girl, and she quotes Proctor in rcpl, sentiment i out ot the question; one feels swindled, somehon." "Well, of course it wouldbe nicer to hear her quote Tennyson." "Ivotatall; I would a great deal rather she would look nrettv. and sav. es. 1 think so. too. I am going To look for a wife who can't act like a star, and sing like a prima donna, and who never haa an Idea that she could lecture, or write for the newspapers. I shall on'y ask her to be pretty, st fish, good hearted, and a thorough believer in John Earle." "You will find girls by the dozen to fill that bill, John. My ideal is a far rarer creature; and yet lonly want a good, simple girl, who has some Illusions' lelt" "Where are you going this summer?" "With Jim Fellows, sketcliiuc. fishing and camping among the Catskills " Then you won't find j our ideal tins summer: country girls are as far removed from "sweet simplicity' as possible. Of all women, they love money and show the most." "Sometimes, John Earle, jou are mistaken. Where are you goingT" "Not far. I shall have to be in the city occa sionally, and the rest of the time I shall share between the Branch and my sister's little place on th Hudson." "Then you won't find yourideal, either. Girls -who go to the Branch and to nice little places on the Hudson read everything and tnow every thing. You bad better get up some social science and theology, read the last new novels and poems,study a part in half a dozen favorite tragedies, and the tenor's role in J-aiist and Jdignon and the Bohemian GirL It will be a great deal nicer trailing a line down a trout Btream you had better come along." "Can't; brother Dick is going to Europe, and J must walk into the office once or twice a week. A man is obliged to be mercenary, whether a woman is or not. When do you and Fellows start?" "To-morrow. We shall bo back in four months." "Bring your ideal with von?" "On,certamlj!" Then the hall-serious and half joking conver sation chanced into an earnest discussion about fish, flies, fishing tackle, ramping ores and ac coutrements, flow far their imaginary wives were creations of vague unrest, smoke and moonshine, or embodiments of convictions, they were not probably themselves able to de termine. Men have much fewer convictions than they think they have, for in these days of rapid changes there is no time for anything but opinions. The next morning John Earle met Will Van Alston on the shady side of Broadway, with a creel at his back and fishing-line in Ins band. "Yon are a pleasant sight. Will, in this heat and tumult," said John; "you make me think of dewy, dripping mornings and cool, unplant ed places. Where is Jim?" "Gone with the traps and the man to the steamer. I had to get another dropper and a surplus reel. Better come along, John." "No, yon tempter. I hope you will find your Ideal, and I wish you all the good things in the old antler's greeting on know it." "Yes. I know it;" and Will' brisk footsteps Involuntarily Jet themselves to the breezy Jingle: "showers and clouds and winds, All tblnrs rlcht and titliL All things well Hiid proper; Trailer red and white. Dark and wllv dropper; Midges true tolling. Made of plover hackle. W Hh a gaudv wine. And a cobweb tackle: Wih your rod and reel, t lies of every feather That can fill your creel, M Ish you glorious weather," etc Now it may be good for some men to be driven into the wilderness; for, relieved from enforced courtesies, they grow sweet of heart, but the rule is not a universal one. Thus, though Jim Fellows forgot his cynicism in painting grassy dells and bits of water and yel low sunsets ill, even at first, was tired of the monotony of their life, and had spasmodic im poses to run back to New York for a sparkling draught of society. After three or fonr weeks of woods and hills thee impulses became stronger and longer. "it was all very well for Jim. who made business oat of purple patches and running becks, to put up with insects and showers, and meals without table cloths, and water without ice, but be was tired or getting wet, and the trout were not plentv, and be never could hit the right bait;" in fact, Will was Dored. He was admitting this very plainly to himself one afternoon. They bad just made a fresh camp, and be had not caught a fish all day; Will wondered if Jim considered the fishing as mnch as the painting advantages of their loca tions. Suddenly a little figure stepped lightly onto a rock nearly opposite to him. He laid bis rod gently on the ground and watched her: per haps he had not read Mr. Stoddart's advice to bachelor anglers: "Xever fall in love with a woman by the water S'de; there are situations in which every woman looks an angel." If be had iead, he did not heed, but watched -with the liveliest interest thissiner of the angle. She had a lithe, graceful figure, and it was clad in white flannel, made jauntily short, aud looped up'with bows of black velvet. Her leet were shod in stout English walkine boot. and she carried a rod that bent almost to her land. Her face he could not see. for it was quite shaded by a deep "sundown." Before he- could decide wnai to do, mere was a sound of crashing brushwood, and a gentleman joined her. He was evidently her father, and Will now determined f retrace his steps a little, cross the stream above and join them. In half an hour be had made his introduc tion, and seen the young lidy lift with a clever jerk a splendid fish of more than two pounds weight. "Reckless creature," she said, with a low laugh; "it just came to see what the matter was." "I hare been throwing my line for three hour s," said Will, 'and 1 could not get a fish to look at my bait." "Let me see it." Will exhibited his fly. She shook her head and pointed to the bushes. They are full of tboe very flies; use for bait the flies not there. There Is a great deal of human nature in fish nature," and she pushed back her sundown and looV ed Will pleasantly in the face. Snch eyesl They took Will captive at once. He was only too glad to receive a lesson from such an expert. The animation of her face and the poises of her fizure, as she kept con stantly throwing in her lne and pulling it out, was a succession of charms. It was not Will's way of fishing, but be was glad it was hers, and all his objections were soon silenced by her suc cess. "Human nature again," she said; "not one of those graylings had any intention of biting; they came to look at to tamper with to nib ble at danger. What a temptation that is, even to men! and women too.' Will certainly thought so. He bad sense and experience enough to know that he was in dan pen but did be wish to avoid it? On the con trary, he was wondering how to insure a return to it He could think of no better way than tnat or asking his new acquaintances to walk round by their camp to see Jim's pictures Then Mr. hellers aoked the young men to come and have a cup of tea at the Manse; and the tea, and the evening that followed it, were so charming that it was easy to foresee it would be the precedent lor many other charming evenings. Indeed, before very long Will began to go to the Manse as soon as Jim bc-an to paint in the morning, bomettmes Mary tellers and be went fishing, though more frequently be followed her about the garden, helped her to pick fruit, or sit by her side while she sewed in short, behaved as all lovers have behaved from the beginning of the world. It was really wonderful to at least Will said 0 to Jim bow exactly Marj's and his ideas about life coincided. He was full of sentiment, eo was Mary. He could be happy with Mary in a cottage, so could Mary with him. He liked Tennyson, so did Mary. He thought fashion able society a hollow mockey, so did Mary, eta, etc. Jim smiled. He had noticed that all Mary's dresses were very stylishly and becomingly made, and that (he seemed to have a very clear idea of what fashionable society indorsed. Will thought that was natural enough. Mary had IN SPAIN. an aunt in New York, a wealthy widow, and Alary had frequently staid with her; that, of course, only made Man's simple tastes the more delightful; it showed that she was proof against the seuuetions of the gav world. By-andbyJim got bored, and proposed to move camp farther into the mountains. Will was amazed, pointed nut the advantages of the adjacent village, the exquisite scenery, the fine fishing, etc.. and declared that he had never been so hppy in bis life. Jim thought it likely, but begged Will to con sider tnat though the world revolved in heaven for lovers, for ordinary mortals it revolved in void or ennui. "For lovers!" The remark set Will thinking, and Jim let him think during the whole session or a cigar. When it was finished, he said, "Well?" "I believe you are right, Jim. I must be in love." "Of course you are. and there is no remedy I know of, except cutting off the head. What are you going to do?" "Ask Sliss Sellers, I supnose." "All right; but I shall go away to-morrow. When 'lovely woman' wants my friend. 1 hope I know enough to beat a hasty retreat." If we never had come up here, Ji.nl" said Will, with a sigh. Jim whistled a stave, and then mockingly said: rtw If tMe .Mld Tin I Yiann at fcntn. Standinp upon dry ground. i en tnousaml pounds to one penu lie had not then been drowned. These 'if' of life. Will, illustrate, I suppose, Artemus Ward's doctrine of tho cussedness of things in generaL"' 'Well, what would you do, Jim?" "In nature it takes an onnce to balance an ource I suppose it is the same in love. Go and ask Miss sellers what to do." This advice was quite in keeping with Will's inclination; no iooc it, ana .miss hellers ad vised him to remain at Cedarvllle for the rest of the summer. Before the summer was over. Miss Sellers had promised to tell Will wbat to do during the rest of bis life. In fact, she had promised to marry him in two month. Will would hear of no longer delay. They neither or them wanted a grand wedding, and Marj's simple toilet could be easily prepared, especially as she was going to her aunt's to make the preparations. For Aunt Martha Sellers had taken the greatest interest in the whole affair, ana insisted that her niece should bemaniedlrom her bouse. Will appioved. At that time ot year it wonld be more con venient; beside, Mrs. Sellers intended bujing all Mary's things. She bought ery splendid things. Poor Marv made her little complaint to W ill privately; but tuey ooin agreea it would oe unkind ana nn graterul to find Tanlt with Aunt Martha's gen erosity. So one set or finery atier another camo home, and the whole fashionable world was talking of Mary Sellere's trousseau. Mary also b-gan to dress very richly; but she looked so bewitching in her pale silks, and wore them with such a pretty, deprecating air, that -Will could not avoid the double fascination that bonnd him. Neither was he above feeling plctsed with the compliments everywhere given to Miss Scllers's beauty and Miss Sellers' s graceful toilets. The aunt having managed the trousseau to her liking, easily arranged the white satin and Coint lace, the bndemaids, and the wedding reakfast. As for the European tour, Mary and Will looked forward now to that as the easiest way of escaping from all the formal visiting and fashionable courtesies thev would otherwise bo compelled to accept. Indeed, amid the busy preparations for their wedding it had been the lovers' chief consolation to re tire to tbe library and plan little tours in Eng land and Scotland, where no one would know anything about them, and they could live entirely for each other. . Will had once spent a summer in the English lake district, and he told Mary about the "Lovers' Walk" in Ambleside, and the fishing in Troutbeck, and the romantic life they micbt live In snch quaint towns as Kendal and Kes wick, and Mary listened with glowing cheeks and love lit eves; only s'le was compelled to re mind Will that Ambleside and Windermere would be cold and dreary places for some months yet. Will, in thecozy library andin his enthusiasm, had forgotten such a small affair as seasons; however, be said, "they could go to the south of Europe first," and Mary heartily agreed to that arrangement So it was. alter all, to Paris that tho newly married couple went: Will somehow had proposed it, and Mary made a point of always doing what Will proposed. Tbev arrived there in a very gay season, when Paris was full of New Yorkers. Many of them knew Will, some of them had met Mary the previous winter. The bride becaiusa reigning favorite, everyone calledonber, she was invited to court, ber gowns w ere copied, her sayings re peated, her Deauty and elegance were on every one's tongue. Willwasuot Insensible to such homage; it pleased him to see bis wife's savings andgnirgs xm chronicled in the daily papers, be desired Marv to be worthy of ber fame. He found him self studying wbat modes and colors were most becoming to her, ordering jewels and costumes, and urging her to attend balls and dinners. Mary always found Will Irresistible; her do cility was not the least of her charms. Thus they 6pent a very gay winter in Paris, and slowly moved northward by way of the Ger man baths. Somehow it seemed impossible for them to find any seclusion: Mary laid it to Will's popularity, and Will insisted that it was Mary's beant;but they generally compromised on their mutual good-nature and willingness to oblige neople. It was actually Autrust before they reached Ambleside.. Now at last thev would be able to live a simple, natural life. Mary looked over the gray waters with dismay; she was getting very tired of fine scenery. Will was tired too, only be did not have the courage to sav so. Mary hazarded a disparaging remark. Will indorsed it "Lakes and woods and mount ains, and small country inns! was it worth while spending monev ana fatiguing one's self for them?" Marv asked. Will seriously doubted If It were. Marj said she "must admit she did not like Europe outside of its great cities." Will "rather thought she was right: it was slow." Suddenly Will said: "Let us go back to New Yorkv" Mary answered, joyfully, that "i was her native air, and that she was homesick away from It" If Will had any lurking sense of disappoint ment in the" failure of his dream, he had no time to be conscious of it Mary introduced the subject of housekeeping: "in their own home they would find that retirement and peace they had vainly sought for in Europe." Then they discussed everything in French, G -rman and English households that seemed w rthy of incorporation into the Sellers home stead; and Will, who was someihingof an artist, sketched "interiors" and styles of furnishing, every one of which Mary declared to be 'jost loveiy." Of course there was nobody in town when they arrived In New York. Mary's aunt was at Saratoga, and Will's friends were here, tbero and everywhere. They took rooms at a hotel, and now really began to enjoy each other's society. No one interfered with their time; there were no calls to make or return, no trains to catch, no routes to decide on, no foreign customs to submit to Life in New York is a well retrulated institution: Will and Mary fell naturally and easily into its pace. Thev remained at thehotel during the decor ation and relurnishing of their house. It was to be reaav f,r occupancy in November, and in tbe meantime itsnpplied them with a never ceasing source of interest One day they went tobypher's to try and match a queer bit of bronze that Mary had picked up in Pans. A gentleman and lady were in conversation with a clerk in the shadowof a great Chinese screen. It was John Earle and his bride. Will took in at a glance her characteristics "a fair, intel lectual face, and the air of one used to being in authority." Mary looked at her dress "iich material, but out of style." Both comments were instantaneous; the two friends clasped hands, and tbe ladies looked into each other's faces, and bowed to their introduction. Then John and Will walked away, ostensibly to examine some antique vases, but really to exchange a few congratulations. Mrs. Van Alston and Mil. Earle talked about dwarf bronzes, and examined each other's toilets. Both felt that they were under a battery of criticism, but both stood fire without the quiver of an eyelash. . "If she thinks I mind her Frenchified ways," thought Mrs. Earle, "she is vastly mistaken." "if she thinks she snnbs me with her eye glasses and her know-averythlng airs she fs a very Ignorant young person," thought Mrs. Van Alston. But they chatted away about English dining rooms and French bonnets until John and Will's return produced the usual regrets and anticipations. As they drove away Mary looked complacent ly down at her Parisian costume. "I think, Will," she said, "I had the pleasure ot showing your friend's wife how a woman ought to dress hefeir." "I hope you knew all about those bronzes I saw you examining; because John says his wife is a connoisseur in such matters," "I am sure I do not know what I said about them; it is a matter of indifference to me. Will, what women think aoout my intelligence, but I am sensitive as to what they think about my "How does Mrs. Earle dress?" "Now. Will, don't pretend that you did not see that straight up and down overskirt, and that pleated waM! ' "I was looking at her face." "Oh! What was it like?" "Now, Mary, don't pretend that you did not see those white, intelligent brows, and those soft, clear gray eyes." "Upon my word. Will, I did not I saw her eyeglasses." Will laughed. "John thinks that she is splen did." "She Is John's wife; that is all right I sup pose you are not accountable for John's tastes;" and Mary looked np so bewitchingly that Will forgot all other women in admiration of his own wife. , ' Tbeother pair were presently strolling slowly np Broadway discussing tho merits of two din ner services, Mrs. Earle inclining to an old fashioned style of indigo blue and white, and John hankering after a pretty French set, adorned with marvelous bouquets and plenty of purple and gold. "Your tastes, Jonn dear, want subduing a little," said Mrs. Earle; "they are too Frenchy and Bhoppy." "Perhaps they are. Adelaide. Now I liked the way in hfch Will Van Alston's wife dresses herself. I hum risen wonderinc ever since I saw her, how yon would look in such a unit" "My dear John, conld yon ever Imagine your wife making a peacock's tail with her train as that woman did? Doves cannot be peacocks, John;" and Adelaide lifted her rair, calm face In such a way that John found it the easiest thing in the world to say "he was glad of It" John's home was just such a one as a woman like Adelaide would preside over; a handsome dwelling, pervaded by an atmosphere of order and repose. Luxurious chairs, suggestive pic tures, pleasant lights, nothing small, nothing in the waj; no flowers that would make a litter, no birds that would sing whether you wanted them or not: no aquariums or ferneries; no pets or obligations ot any kind. Her table was faultless, her servants soft-rooted and low voiced; tbe whole house went like a noiseless Eiece of perfect machinery guided by a master and. John hardly knew how unconsciously ho had imbibed its spirit flp was mnch calmer in his manners, and superficial observers thought probably be was less happy. But John knew, alter a bard day's business, now great was tbe charm" ot his still, peaceful home; how deli cious the quiet, orderly dinner table; how rest ful the pleasant lounge in tbe library after ward, wnere, wnue ne smoked. Aaeiaiae reaa at intervals amusing or interesting paragraphs from the book which sho had in ber hand. Not less interesting were the little discus sions arising out of these provocative passages. John's literary tastes were being gradually educated in the most charming of methods; tor any man will enjoytheenmpanyot great think ers if ho may make their acquaintance through the medium of a lovely woman who has tact enough to know when to introduce aud when to dismiss them. Thev went little out, and as the winter ad vanced, the cozv library, with its lounge and cigar, its beautiful mistress, and new books, grew more and more in favor with John. Will thought "marrying had qnite ruined John," ane Mary said "he did look wretchedly;" but John himself knew how sweet and deep and strong vas the source of his happiness a hap piness which be felt instinctively the world would not comprehend, and about which, therefore, he wisely held bis peace. As time passed on, the old friends, without any real diminution ot kind feeling, drifted farther apart Mr. and Mrs. Earle knew through the newspapers that Mr. and Mrs. Van Alston were acknowledged leaders of fashionable society; and that Mary, in a short visit to Washington, had made a sensation that must have been highly flattering to those of her friends who coveted for her the stars and orders of fashionable fame. These notices Adelaide generally read in just such a tone and manner that John unconsciously got the habit of responding to them, "Poor Will!" "Poor Will" was, however, doing exceedingly well, and regarded himself as an object of envy to all bis acquaintance, for Mary, in the beginning of their married life, had marked out the end she meant him to attain nnto, and all her social successes had been but so many well considered steps toward it Wnen they were on their wedding tour she bad said, ono night after a brilliant court reception, "Will, you must go into politics; you have the air ot a foreign Minister, and you are a born dipln mate." Will was not the man to dispute any ot Mary's opinions; he liked this idea, and cul- tivaiea it. Tho result was that one dav John Earla brought bis wife an illustrated paper in which Will's handsome face, and Will "presenting his credentials to His Majesty ," made the roost prominent pictures. Perhaps neither John nor his wile took the Interest in the news that they might have done under ordinary cir cumstances; but just at the same time a very important personam arrived at the Earle man sionno loss a personage, indeed, than John's eldest son; and hencelorth the nursery had, in its degree and way, a charm as great as the library. Wbat did John care for kings or courts? Thero was a little autocrat in the cradle ot the Earle house that ontruled them all with him. Besides, during Adelaide's confinement to her room, John had also discovered a secret of which he was not a little vain his wife was a famous writer. Under her nom do plume she bad been for three years a favorite with him. Her stories bad charmed away many a pleas ant evening, and from her graver articles he had taken his opinions on a good many social questions. He could not help laughing when he remembered how often he bad quoted Mrs. Earle against Mrs. Earle in their evening dis cussions. Some years have passed away since Willand John drew in imagination the bacbelorpictures of their future wives. Will's "simple little country girl" is the star of a European court, dances with orluces,and entertains royal dukes; and John, who only wanted a, ashionable "know-nnthing" wif e, is now so .proud pf the clever Mrs. Earle that generally his first re mirk to a friend is, "Have you seen my wife's article in the Review" or, "Have you read Mr. Earle s story in Magazine" Evidently Amelia Schombcrg's theory has a principle of truth in it some power or other "knows better what wewant than we know our selves." Mary's ambition bas made a clever di pi ornate out of an idle young man; and John Earle has received In hi" wife's society such a noble, elevated and refined education that he is quite a match now for any "little Vassar graduate."

Part of tbe gossip received was that Duluth parties were buying wheat here and that a prominent local operator was willing to help the crowd break tbe market, if he could do so without selling any wheat. Foreign was said to be "on the fence" to-day. A.general break of 1 to 2c was expected by both tbe bulls and bears on tbe depressing in fluences.

Provisions Fail to Eise, out Hams and lard 1 Eemain Stron?. A L1TELX DEMAND FOE CHILL E0LLS office of Pittsburg Dispatch". . 1 Batubdat, September 28, 1889. J The marked features of the past week's trade in produce lines were the steady up ward driit and activity of daily products. It has been difficult to meet the strong de mand for choice grades of butter. A lead ing dealer reports that if he had the stuff he could readily have doubled his sales. The same jobber reports this the, best week of the season in quantity or cheese handled. The total was not far from 2,600- boxes and reached 700 boxes on Thursday alone. Sweitzer cheese has also joined in the up ward movement The first new imported Swcitzers reach our markets this week. Eggs continue as they have been for two weeks past, bnt are so firm that on advance within a few days is confidently predicted by commission men. a Potnlo States to the Rescue. The upward movement of potatoes has been arrested by liberal supplies. Since the Tennessee potato crop ceased coming to our markets, tbe quality of supplies bas been ineneral inrenor. A better grade Is expected from Indiana and Michigan the coming week. Advices from three well-known potato sections indicate large crops and of good quality. The yield In Western Pennsylvania, is by no means panning ont, either in quantity or quality, as the early part of tbe season promised. Peaches havo been very disappointing all this season, and now that their time is almost past the fag ends of the crop are little good. Ihe demand, however, is good for snch as ap pear. Fancy apples are doing better every day. Our own immediate neighborhood has not fnrnl3hed its average quantity of grapes this season; bnt from the lake shore country plenty of the best varieties are on the market and are good stock. With Eesard to Provisions. Hams and lard are the strong factors of the provision trade, bnt were not strong enough to go higher. The entire list remains as last week. A leading pork packer reports trade better than last week, and considerably better than at this time a year ago. The activity, however, falls to yield as goodieturns as a year ago. Tbe packing season for the year begins with Oc tober. For the season now closing margins were probably never before so narrow. Hogs failed to follow tbe downward drift of provis ions, and newcomers in the pork packing line have found the year a trying one Chill Roll. The Phcenix Roll Works, located on the Val ley Railroad and Forty-first street, have been crowded with orders, all the past summer, and are working their 225 men to the full capacity or tbe works A dozen men are kept bnsy on night turn, in order to catch np to orders. The capacity of the works is close to 60 tons a day, and, when that amount 'is going into rolls at one of the three establishments of this city, it is plain that the iron industry is lively. A workman in the Pbmnlx Works expresses tbe opinion that renewals required by old iron and steel mills, from ordinary wear and break age, will keep np a lively trade for months to come. This demand, with that from new works springing up over the land, and addi tions to old plants,in6ures an active trade in this department of Pittsburg's iron industries, certainly for a year to come.
