Alhost a eiot oh the wax to towk
1 Yesterday was a day of vast importance
to Pittsburg's newsboys and bootblacks, the
occasion being the annual dinner provided
for them by the liberality of the Leader
P nilishing Company.
Two o'clock was the hour announced, bnt
long before that time an immense throng had
gathered in iront of the old Fifth Avenue
Market, now barracks of Company "B." oi
the Eighteenth Kegiment, aioresaid throng
being quite prepared to capture the armory,
bag and baggage, notwithstanding its semi
military character.
A large number of people were also early
on hand to enjoy the sight of 900 hungry
urchins demolishing a feast. The large
armory was tastefully decorated with na
tional flags. Among the larger banners
were several in which the stars were set in a
black field. This, it is supposed, is a deli
cate compliment to the colored guests of
which there was quite a sprinkling. The
capacity of the armory can best be compared
to that of the guests, though both showed
evidence of being unmistakably crammed
fnll toward the last Ten tables were set
with 70 covers each, and the bill of fare
lacked in nothing requisite for a very nice
dinner.
THEY "WXBE CORKAT.KD.
Promptly at 2 P. M. th6 large doors on
Filth avenue were thrown open. The com
manding form of Captain Dan Silvus was
first seen. He was followed by six of the
handsomest officers on the force, and 700
bootblacks and newsboys, all keeping per
fect step to the well-known air, "Come,
Birdie, Come," rendered in the most ex
quisite manner by the Cathedral Band. It
was originally intended in the order of
entry that the newsboys should take prece
dence1; bnt the entire absence of regalia with
either society created some contusion, and
led to the unfortunate mistake alluded to. J
The soldier-lice manner in winch the va
rious squads filed to their respective places
was a marvel of military tactics. At 15
minutes past 2 the covers were removed,
and the first course oyster soup was dis
cussed. The more prominent of the guests
were in full dress, but Prince Albert coats
were worn as a rule, with an occasional
exception of a plain business suit.
The Prince Alberts were in every case
at least a decade older than the
wearer, and being almost cloaks, gave the
newsy who was the proud possessor of so
much grandeur a Spanish effect. The busi
ness suits were strictly utilitarian. Upon
many of them appeared the patient patch
work of Mr. Druitt, who is an expert in the
sewing on of necessary additions to urchin
ical raiment Some of the young gentle
men appeared in their shirt sleeves, but ex
plained that this form of costume was prefer
able on account of the ground and lottv
tumbling and other acrobatic feats which
distinguish the entrance of the final courses
of the feast The conversation began to en
liven with the second course, and many
sprightly sallies of wit and repartee gave
added zest to the affair. The dignified man
ner, and, in many instances, even courtly
bearing of the guests, was the subject of
much favorable comment and furnished un
deniable evidence of good breeding.
THET ENCOKED GBACE.
One little incident occurred at the incep
tion of the feast which struck some of the
lookers-on as rather a departure from the
ordinary methods, and while not really in
itself an evidence of wrong intent or gross
disregard -of public feeling, was still a very
radical departure from the custom gener
ally. The "grace," or asking of blessing,
was loudly and vocilerously applauded, and
three times most earnestly, almost appeal
in gly encored. For a moment there was a
lull of expectancy, bnt that brief time served
to determine the matter; there was no re
sponse. True there were occasional little ineli
gances noticed here and there such as a nap
kin tucked in at the neck, or a spoon lett in
the saucer, but as a rule the most perfect de
corum prevailed. Toward the close of the
feast there was a little innovation and
an occasional voice could be heard asking
for something across the table in a vernacu
lar entirely unknown in the East End, such
as "say, Cully shove the turkey this way;"
"heave us a chunk of that bread;" kick over
them taters," etc. This created so much
mirth thnt the spirit of emulation very soon
displayed itself. Biscuits, pieces of pie and
other little things were playfully thrown
from one end of the table to the other.
MAKING THINGS LIVELY.
The scene was somewhat further enlivened
by beating & tattoo on the plates with knives
and forks and finally reached the zenith of
its interest on the opening of the orange and
cake boxes when 700 voices in sweet accord
shouted and shouted again, "gimme some,
gimme some."
When all were served the west end
dcors were thrown open and the
revellers marched out On reaching the
door some of the more sportive of the bovs
threw in a few empty oyster cans, pieces of
pie and other such little trifles which of
course they had no further use tor. Their
departure was the signal for the entry of
another set who filled three tables and
themselves, too, in pretty quick order. In
due time they, too, marched out and joined
a number of their iriends in the innocent
amusement of throwing mud, sticks, etc, at
the conductors on the Piftb avenue car line.
All in all, everything passed off most de
lightfully. The tables contained a quantity
of rich, seasonable and substantial good
things well, the columns of the Leader
generally do also. The management de
serve great credit not alone for the liberal
spirit displayed, but for the masterlv con
duct of their annual dinners.
Some of the spectators at this juncture
who had seats nearest the tables (most
likely relatives or intimate social friends of
the guests) besought the waiters for oranges,
apples, etc., and displayed great dextentv
as catchers when the coveted edioles were
hurled up. Quite a lively scramble was
witnessed among a bevy of voung ladies
when a bunch of the bills of fare were
thrown up.
They (the bills of fare, in fact the girls,
too,) were handsomely gotten up, displaying
excellent photo-lithographs of Mr. Nevin
and the building of the Leader Publishing
Company. The bill of fare proper was sur
rounded by appropriate scroll work appar
ently unfurled to the breeze, and held by
two angels and two newsboys, two at the top
and two at the bottom, the angels br the
request of the newsboys being above, the
latter, of course, on an occasion of this kind
preferring to remain below.
Biff GOBS OF HUD.
The Boy btormed Several Can and Bad a
Lively Time Coming- to Town Thought
to be a Riot br tbe Citizens.
The newsboys and bootblacks yesterday
afternoon caused the police to think that a
riot was about to break out on Fifth avenue,
between Smithfield and Grant streets.
Shortly alter 3 o'clock 900 of the boys, hav
ln. finished their feast at tbe Old Market
rimise on Fifth avenue, burst into the street
:.nd marched down town. They hooted and
threw mud at every cable car which passed.
21 ear Smithfield street they organized a raid,
on the Italian who kept a frnit stand at tbe
foot of the stairway going up to the office of
the Commoner and JBUut Worker. His
stand was overturned and all his wares were
stolen. One urchin grabbed the man's hat
and Tan sway with it, and the boys then be
gan to pelt the unfortunate fruit vender
with mud and .sticks. -He took to his heels
and was chased into Cherry alley.
This episode drew a large crowd. The
sidewalks were already full, and within ten
minutes there were at least 3,000 people
gathered in the street between Smithfield
and Grant. The gripmen and conductors
on the cable cars were saluted with cries of
"Scab, scab," and missiles were hurled at
them. Ouegripman, whose window was
open, was plastered all over his face with a
ball of mud. The conductors on the rear
platforms were exposed targets, and their
blue coats were spotted with mud marks.
Some of the passengers, sitting by open
windows, received the missiles intended for
gripmen oi conductors.
Italians were the special objects of the
boys' sport Every one of that nationality
who appeared on the street was hooted and
chased with sticks and stones. There were
a number of exciting chases, tbe hunted
man generally taking to an alley, running
as if for lire.
One flying Italian was struck on the bead
by a large block of wood and severely cut
A farmer drove down Fifth avenue with
a two-horse wagon. His boy sat on the seat
beside him. At Grant street their bom
bardment began and was kept up steadily
as far as Smithfield. He tried to whip up
his team, but the old horses would not de
part from a walk. By the time he had
reached the postoffice corner tne farmer was
covered with mud.
Soon afterward a young Hebrew went up
the hill. He carried a large bundle under
his arm. Biff, a ball of mud struck him on
the cheek. He did not wait for a second,
but, taking to the center of the stieet, ran
like a deer. Two hundred newsboys went
alter him, yelling like so many Uomanches,
throwing every procurable thing at the fly
ing man. He was chased over the hump
beyond Boss street, when his two good legs
carried him ont of reach.
For over half an hour no policemen were
to be seen. John McTighe was the first of
ficer to appear. Soon .afterward Inspector
McAleese, half a dozen detectives and a
dozen patrolmen arrived and proceeded to
break up the crowd. It required a quarter
of an hour to get the people off the street
and make those on the sidewalk move
along.
THOUGH A SNAKE ST0ET,
This Is Not a Snake Story, In the Usual
Acceptance of the Term.
People once believed that at Christmas
time "tbe bird of dawning" sang all night
long, and no fairy took, nor witch had
power to charm; nights were wholesome, "so
hallowed and so gracious is the time;" bnt
the times seem to be badly out of joint at
present.
Snakes are ordinarily associated with
evil things, such as unclean spirits, witches,
etc, and one would suppose that they, too,
would be exorcised, but not so this year.
On Christmas Day two young men, Philip
and James Douthitt, came across a serpent
in Bobinsou township, near the Darring
ton & Ewing oil well on the Knopf
farm, Montour Bun. Whether his snake
ship had smelled the odor of the blooming
dandelions or was tempted by the wanton
weather to take a stroll, can only be con
jectured; but it was quite supple and ad
hered to the mode of locomotion prescribed
in the third chapter of Genesis as the pen
alty for leaaing our mother Eve astray.
This snake was of the order vulgarly called
garter. There are some of the copperhead
variety still existing in that locality, but so
far as heard from they didn't celebrate
Christmas.
By the way, speaking of Eve's dalliance
with the serpent, Barnum's "great moral
show" suggests to a cynical Cockney the
idea that if Eve had understood snakeology
as well as the lady serpent charmers that
travel with great "moral aggregations,"
she might have reversed the opera
tion and led the serpent astray,
and saved her numerous progeny much
trouble The prophet Isaiah speaks of a
time coming when children shall play on
the dens of the asp and the cockatrice, but
the copperheads of Bobinson township
showed no signs last summer of approach to
that millennial spirit though it may have
been occasioned by a want of confidence on
the part of the people who slaughtered the
reptiles without parley.
''The oldest inhabitant," who is usually
tenacious in his prerogative that allows him
to cap every lusus nature; by the relation
of a previous experience, lays no claim to
having ever in the olden time seen snakes
ont pleasuring in this latitude on Christmas,
not at least outside ot his boots, and whether
this garter snake simply took a promenade
to insult a tradition believed by Shake
speare, or heard the thunder one'morning
last week and was deluded into thebeliet
that the summer of 1890 had come, is proba
bly one ot the mysteries that never will be
explained to us. Backwoods naturalists say
ophidians are awakened by the first thunder
of spring, and this may be the explanation.
Superstitious people may interpret the mat
ter variously. If they believe with the
Greeks that snakes armed the hand of Dis
cord, they may explain the appearance of
this snak'e by the discord that has arisen in
the vicinity of Forest Grove Church over
the dancing party lately given. If they be
lieve with the Egyptians that the serpent is
the emblem of lertility, they may see in this
Christmas visitation a promise of great pros
perity in 1890, and be sure of sympathizers
in their belief.
Where there is a weakness of the throat
or lungs, a cold neglected may be all that is
required to establish a lingering and gener
ally fatal disease. Even where there is no
special tendency to bronchial or pulmonary
trouble, a severe cold, left to take care of
itself, often plants the seeds of a serious
complaint, sure to be developed by subse
quent indiscretions. Take especial care of
yonr health, therefore, from the very earliest
symptoms of a cough or cold, by prudently
resorting to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, which
will soothe and strengthen the bronchial
tubes, allay inflammation and cleanse them
and the lungs of all irritating substances.
An ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure.

In summing up the events of tie year, a
well-known railroad official state! yester
day that there was no business which,
showed the great prosperity of the people lor
the past two years as did the railroad earnings.
An effort was made by a Dispatch re
porter to obtain some figures about the in
crease, but this was found to be impossible.
Every railroad man spoken to about the
matter-said the growth of the business was
phenomenal. Among those interviewed was
Division Passenger Agent E. D. Smith, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who said:
'The past year has becaa remarkable one.
There never was a year in the history of the
railroads in this part of the country that
would show greater increase in the earnings
of both the passenger and freight depart
ments. The passenger business surprised
everybody. I cannot yet give the figures,
but I think tbe increase will be fully 15 per
cent In a great many districts the increase
in the volume of business over 1888 will be
over 20 per cent The increase was in both
local and through business. The excursion
business the past summer has also been un
precedented. I suppose the largest excur
sion trade of the year was after the Johns
town flood. On one occasion I took a crowd
filling 29 cars into the town. "We have been
running large excursions to the seashore lor
the past three years, but the last season
broke the record. The midwinter excur
sions to Washington have also swelled the
phenomenal growth of the business out of
this vicinity. Tbe number of people carried
this year is greatly in excess of any
year before.
A SEW SOUBCE OF TBAVEL.
"The boom in the'Washington oil field has
also increased the large army of public
travelers.
"From tbe present indications I think the
business will continue to grow steadily.
Next year I believe you will see a further
increase, as everything points that way.
The cause of tbe great number of people
traveling from Pittsburg is due to their
prosperity. The new passenger station also
had a great deal to do with it The station
has only been in use for six months, but its
effect on the business' is plainly felt An
other reason- is that we are getting the bulk
of the theatrical business. "We have been
making party rates for the past fonr months
while other roads refused. They thought it
was a violation of the inter-State law, but
we took the chances. As a result we have
been getting the business which stands by
us. "When the other roads refused to make
a party rate we gave theatrical companies
this advantage. As a result they are stand
ing by us now for our action in the face of
what the other lines relused to do. All
these things helped the business along."
District Passenger Agent T. E. Watt, of
the Pennsylvania road, said: "For the past
Vi months our business has been better than
ever before in the same time. Within my
territory there are about 200 agents whose
reports every month have shown a great in
crease over the month of the previous year.
The growth ot the business at East Liberty,
Greensburg, Johnstown, Altoona, Braddock,
Connellsville, Pittsburg and the Union
station has been unprecedented.
A BIO 60UTHEBH TBAPFIC.
"The Southern excursion bnsiness this
winter is contributing its share to the total.
A great many Pittsburgers are going to
Florida, notwithstanding the fact that we
have had no winter weather yet A great
the Northern summering resorts. The sea
shore business picked up wonderfully last
summer. We handled thousands of tourists
who never traveled before. This is due to
the perfect facilities we have for taking care
of them. There is also a disposition on the
part of lines making a specialtv of this bnsi
ness to offer better inducements to people to
travel."
General Passenger Arent Clark, of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad Com
pany said: "Tbe results on our road have
been very satisfactory for the past vear. The
growth of the passenger traffic has been
steady and will continue. I should imagine
thatthe population of Coraopolis has been
increased about 20 percent witnin a year.
A great many other towns in the vicinity of
tbe oil fields have also increased in popula
tion, and this has helped along our subur
ban business. The travel to Lake Mackinac
and Lake Erie in the summer was also very
heavy. Chautauqua as u'Bal attracted a
large number ot Pittsburgers. I cannot
furnish any figures until the annual meet
ing of the stockholders in January."
