".ft I THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JANUARY 19,. 1890. 3 VI AMEEICHS'MEW DEAL - The Gist of the Proposed Kew Con stitution Made Public. MAKI IMPORTANT CHAKGES MADE. A Set of Herniations Which SaTor Strongly of the Progressive. COPKS SEIKO MAILED TO MEMBEES The proposed new constitution and by laws of the Americus Ecpublican Clnb are being mailed by the Secretary, Mr. George S. Haughton, to the members of the club for their consideration. It is the work of a special committee of the club, composed of Air. John A. Seed, Chairman; H. D. "W. English, Secretary; Hon. "Walter loron, Charles C. Baer and Captain A. J. Logan, who examined all the constitutions of the leading clnbs of the country and have giren much time to the formation of -this constitution, which will come up for adoption at the next meeting of the club, in February. "While many changes hare been made from the constitution now in use, yet none are so radical as to not be in harmony with the growth of this, the leading Bepublican insti tution in this State. The committee has riven each change anticipated mnch thought, and believe that the future require ments of the organization are fully met. The objects of the club are set forth as follows: Toe objects of this clnb shall be: To adro- cate, promote and maintain the principles of Republicanism as enunciated by the Repub lican party; to direct and interest in politics those who haTe hitherto been more or less in different to tbeir political duties; to encourage attendance at the primary meetings, in order that honest and capable men may be nomi nated; to guard and detend the purity of the ballot box: to promote the cause of good gor ernment in State and nation; recommend or In dorse no one. except for State or national office; to perform such other work as may best conserve the interests of the Republican party, and for the purpose of social enjoyment, ac quiring literary attainments and culture and the study of political economy. NO LOCAL HTDOBSEMENTS. The committee evidently is determined that the club in the future, as in the past, shall not take part in local politics, as its principles are "to recommend or indorse no one except lor btate or national omce. 2To change has been made in the official list of the civil officers of the club, and but little in the military, except that the Major is ex-fficio a member of the Board of Trustees, and the addition of one First and one Second Lieutenant. Some criticism has been made by members in allowing the Major to be a member of the Board of Trustees, but as he has no vote on the board and has simply a right to mate suggestions and take part in discussions before the board, especially in military matters, it is not thought much opposition will be made to the change. The old-time executive committee has been changed to conform with the charter, and will be known in the tnture as the Board of Trustees. A change has been made in the time of nominations and elections. The nominations will be made in November, and the elections in December. The in coming officers can then take their seats at the first meeting in January of each year, and the retiring officers can close and make their reports for the full year at the regular meeting in January, The Board of Elec tion shall consist of six members, and shall be sworn. Uo accumulative vote will be counted. The Eecording Secretary, Financial Sec retary and Treasurer are all required to give bond in the sum ot $1,000 and $2,000 for the rimiui peuonnance 01 ineir amies. The Committee on Membership, now com posed of three members, has been increased to nine, and, instead of being an appointed committee, are elected by the clnb. This committee acts on ail petitions'for member ship before placing the name before the club. Five members constitute a quorum, and two negative votes reject. No member of the Board of Trustees is eligible for mem bership on this committee. An applicant rejected by this committee is ineligible for the space of one year, except upon unani mous vote of the committee. Seven nega tive votes are required to keep an applicant out of the club, when his name conies up for ballot in the club. -A. NEW COMMITTEE'S SCOPE. The House Committee consists of six members, and is appointed by the President. The Chairman of this committee shall be a member of the Board of Trusties. The dnties of the Board of Trustees make it necessary that the Chairman of this com mittee should be one of the board. The House Committee's duties are enlarged and they are given more authority over the man agement of the clubhouse. The marching organization of the clnb has received considerable attention at the hands of the committee. "While recogniz ing the fact that the Americus is not strict ly a marching organization they also recog nize the fact that through a well-equipped organization of this kind much good has been done for the party and the clnb in the past, and therefore they have recommended many important chances that will make the Americus Club the finest political body on paraae in tne country. Marching Organization. I. The marching organization of the clnb shall consist of such members of the clnb as shall uniform themselves according to the reg ulations hereinafter provided, and shall be known as The Americus Republican Clnb Battalion. IL It shall have the following officers, to be elected by the club at the regular election of tbe club: One major, who shall be ex-officio member of tbe board of trustees, and of any committee relating to matters in which the marching organization may participate; two captains, two first lieutenants, and two second lieutenants. The captains and lieutenants shall be assigned to duty with first and second companies by the major, but such assignments shall be permanent during their term of office. Uniform, X. The uniform of the battalion shall con cist of a high white hat. dark blue cape over coat, dark trousers, hite tie, white gloves, red, white and blue umbrella and badge, the entire uniform not to exceed a cost of $40. XL These regulations shall rn intn effrt lm. mediately after their adoption, and officers shall be elected by ballot at the next regular meeting of the club to All such vacancies as may then exist. The officers elected at this meeting, and the officers elected at the regular lection, January. 1890, shall serve until the regular meeting. January, 1891. and thereafter officers of the battalion shall be elected lor a term of two years. The manner of balloting for officers is thus prescribed: Members shall be elected by ball ballot, with out debate at a regular meeting ot the club, after a favorable report by said committee, but seven black balls shall exclude any candidate and which ballot shall be final. The Recoralng BecreUry shall send out with the notice of meeting a list of tbe candidates to be voted for aMaid meeting. The total membership of the club shall not exceed 1,000." APPLICATIONS POURING Dr. The limit on membership seems to meet with general approval. This limit will soon be filled if applications pour in as they have been the last several meetings. Forty two petitions were presented at the last meeting of the club, and from present ap pearances there will be CO more at the Feb ruary meeting. The applicants are of the very best character, and at this rate the limit will be more than reached this year. Some of tbe members urge that the club house scheme be postponed until this limit be reached, when the club will be in a posi tion to know that they can count on that nauber on any practical scheme the limit deing full, places the club in a more inde pendent attitude. The fact of tbe limit being nearly full has caused the committee to lace the member ship fee at 20 for all applicants who apply after the passage of this (constitution. The life membership fee remains at $100. The growing needs of the club have also occa sioned the raising of the djaes from $4 to $6; dues to be paid one-hair in January and one-half in July of each year. Life mem bers art exempt from dues. Thi article in tho old constitution nUtlTO to expulsion has been entirely changed,and, instead of trial before tbe open club, the President appoints a committee ot inquiry of nine members who try the case, and the club vote on the report submitted to them. In this way all ill ieehng is kept out of the club proper. The article with reference to the indorse ment of candidates is materially the same as in the old, wiih the exception that the committee have added "but will in no case indorse candidates for county or city offices." FOE SPECIAL PURPOSES. The Money Asked for by the Vnrloni School Districts. All but three of the school districts of the city have forwarded to Controller Morrow the amount required for special purposes in the respective districts for the coming year. This money is to meet miscellaneous ex penses,interest on district debts and to make np sinking funds. It is raised by a special tax on each district in addition to the gen eral school tax.

Soon THE LUXURIES OF OLD EOME RECALLED In the cities beneath the sway of the ancient Roman Empire, the public baths were to the inhabitants at once club and promenade. "We read in Terence, and other authors, that it was the fashion to ap pear at the baths in early morning and there discuss the topics, grave or gay, of in terest to the citizens. Tnither came the grave Senator to talk over the disposal of a certain proconsulship (for Senators in those days were much as Senators are now); and thither also strolled the youthful patrician, tbe cnrled darling of society, odorous with essences, proud of his newly-donued toga virilis, to chat about the latest beauty or the newest epigram with his sycophantic associates. In these later days of palatial clubs and fashionable drives, tbe natatorium could never become so important a factor of social life as it was "in consule planco." But for stretching the length of the' whole bath, along which runs a three-wheeiea traveler, to be used In swimming lessons. This de vice is infinitely better than the old-fashioned fishing rod apparatus, both in its superior safetv and its great saving of labor. From 1.000 to'l.BOO bathers can be daily ac commodated. Every bather will be pro vided with swimming costume, etc, free of charge. In the basement of the building, are ten private tub-baths, and the boiler room is also situated here. The ground floor is occupied by offices, barber's shops and refreshment rooms. One of the most scientific swimmers in the United States has been engaged, with capable assistants, to give lessons, and everv bather is entitled to a lesson tree of charge. During ladies' day lady teachers will be present, and none but the gentler sex will ne admitted. Oh the second floor are the Turkish, Bus sian and needle baths. Nineteen dressing rooms, charmingly fitted up, go far to make this quarter the most attractive in the house. Attached to the Turkish bath de partment are three hot rooms, each varying in temperature, a steamroom. shampooing rooms, drying rooms, a plunge bath 8 feet by 12, and a lounging room. The luxurious touches of the lounging room will be Oriental, and the whole apartment will be as delightful as a pasha's dreaming room in the palaces ot Stambonl. On the third floor the manager's suite of roonw and the laundry are located. In connection with the laundry are steam drying closets, wash tubs, etc, etc The building is lighted throughout by electricity. The plans are excellent and great praise must be accorded to the archi tects, Messrs McBride and Grey. The baths will be open from 7 a. m. to 9 P. M. on week days.

THE FLINT GLASS TEADE IN BAD SHAPE Be Proves It to be Less Sustaining; Than Or. Tanner's Water Diet. It is said that Joseph Beynolds, of Bailey avenue, Thirty-second ward, laid in a supply otstimulants on Christmas, in order to celebrate it in right royal fashion, and kept up the jubilation until his family could no longer endure his hilarity and left him alone in his glory. The neighbors say that since Christmas nothing more sub stantial than booze has passed Joseph's lips, and a day or two since they observed that stimulants no longer conduced to sound. The attention of Alderman Soffel was fin' Uy called to the case, and he reported it to the Department of Charities. Examiner Hoffman was delegated to look up the matter, and he found Beynolds surrounded by empty bottles and kegs, and in the last extremity of starvation. Mr. Hoffman had Beynolds removed to the Homeopathic Hospital, but it is thought herwili die, A Hebrew Lecture.

See ad. other reasons we are just as much interested in the erection of city baths, as were the buskined statesmen, and scented exquisites of the Augustan age Although our city politicians and Fiith avenue butterflies no longer need to lounce amonethe tiled halls ofthebathto glean their morning store of news, yet a public natatorlnm must be very desirable to them, when looked at from the loftier standpoints of health and utility. Conseqnently the erection of magnificent swimming baths in the midst 6f Pittsburg may justly claim the attention of society. Tbe site and general particulars of our new baths have already been given to the public Duquesne way has been embellished by the grand Exposition buildincrs; it is to be still lurther beautified by the Pittsburg Natatorium. The baths will be opened on or about April 1, when everybody can have an opportunity of testing their thousand conveniences. They have been designed in the modern style of architectnre, and com bine the substantial with the ornate in a very pleasing manner. The facade' will be highly imposing, and the whole external ap pearance of the building might adorn anv street of any city in the universe. The estimated cost of the erection is between $30,000 and $35,000. It consists, in front, ot three " stories, extending backward three parts through the building. The rear por tion is occupied by the great swimming pool with its huge glass roof, and the whole plot built upon is stated to be 60 feet by 100. The stone used throughout has been tbe best blue Amherst of the Cleveland Company, a handsome durable and costly material. The whole is of luckless wights who have no spare time from Monday to Saturday, they will be kept open from 6 A. M to 10 A. M. Season tick ets will be supplied at very low prices, and the excellence of the Turkish baths will pre vent promipent business men from journey ing East when they wish to really enjoy that luxury. Season tickets are to be both for families and for individuals. The great natatorium enterprise is backed by the wealth and the. enterprise of, Pittsi" bure. There nre over 150 subscribers and the project starts with a capital ot $40,000. Bankers, doctors, lawyers, merchants and others have joined the company. The first President is Mr. H. H. Byram ; Mr. F. J. Torrens is Vice President; Major W. E. McCandless, Treasurer, and Mr. Fred Goodwin, Secretary. It must be said that the success of the plan is due in a very large degree to Mr. Good win's efforts. He has labored long and earnestly in that direction, and has had to endure the usual rebuffs, which so often are imposed upon the pioneers of enterprise. The management has been placed in worthy hands, and the attendants selected are polite and attentive. Among the incidental projects is one which will commend itself to our Pittsburg swimmers." It is intended to offer prizes to the best swimmers at stated periods daring the year. Tho company also desire to form swimming clubs for ladies and gentlemen. Altogether the natatorium bids fair to be one of tbe most complete of its kind in the country. The public spirit of Pittsburg citizens will no doubt be encouraged by that fact to make its success a certainty. s. y The grip can only be- prevented from en tering your home bv keeping the tempera ture at a comfortable degree in the house, and this can be done without fear of being ruined financially by the gas meter by using the Anderson Burner. 82 Fourth avenue.

A meeting of the members of Union No. 3696 will be held this afternoon to settle the matter, if it can be done. The -meeting will be attended by both the strikers and the members of the union who refused to come out Meanwhile the officials of the Alle gheny County Light Company are looking on with the hope that the employes will set tle the matter among themselves. Two sessions of the semi-court were held yesterday in the offices of the Amalgamated Association. Considerable testimony was taken in the case Among those heard by the committee was Mr. Depew, acting man ager of the Kevstone Construction Com pany. The gentleman sent a letter to Mr. Gompers asking that he be allowed to ap pear and give his side ot the question. The privilege was granted him. A promise of an interview was also secured with Mr. Wilson, the manager of the company. "About 550 o'clock Mr. Gomners. with his usual courtesy to the representatives of the press, fonnd time to gfve some information about the investigation. He said: "We are going into the matter very fully and lairly,and will get at the truth. If the men who are now on strike are at fault, we will find it out. A TAIR INVESTIGATION. "A fair and impartial investigation will be conducted, and as the boy said, we 'will let the chips tall where they may.' A meeting will be held to-morrow alternoon in K. of L. Hall, when a full concensus of opinion in re gard to the strike will be obtained." General Manager Blaxter, of the Alle gheny County Light Company, said: "We have heard nothing yet from Mr. Gompers, and I have not seen him. We have not asked for an" interview with him, nor have we received a request for one. It they de sire to see ns about the matter we will be only too glad to grant an interview, but I think they can settle it among themselves. "A morning paper publishes a report to day that Secretary McGonnegle and myself went to New York with a view of bringing about a settlement of the strike. This is a malicious lie. I went to New York to place Miss Blaxter under the care of the physician who attended Captain Jones. I have done nothing abont the settlement of the strike, and the article did me an injustice." President Gompers said the article in question was a lie out of the whole cloth. He said nobody Lad approached him from the company's side, and the article was in tended to mislead the public Mr. Gompers was asked what he had to say in regard to tbe progress of the eight hour movement In reply to the question in what city the fight wonld be made first, and by what trade, he said: "The Executive Council has not yet de cided in what city to take the first step, or what trade is to make the first move. At the present time it wonld be improper to say anything abont it "Whether the break will be made in Pittsburg or not, I have not the least idea. CONSULTING ABOUT IT. "The members of the conncil are in con tinual correspondence with each other and meet frequentlv. In consequence of the work yet to fie done, nothing should be said. A meeting will be held shortly, when something definite will be'decided upon. "In New York the employers are in favor of the movement As yet no opposition has been developed to it. The employers in the Bast do not look upon the movement now as they did a year ago. They understand that it does not mean rninand is not the bueaboo that some people imagined it was. Thev recognize that it would be a good thing for them as well as the employes. With the unity ot action by the combined efforts ot the building trades in New "York there has been less difficulty with employes than ever before This is clearly proven in tbe face of the glaring statements about the pomposity of the walking dele gate. In no era of prosperity of business in this country has there been such an unin terrupted course of fraternal feeling between employers and employes as at the present time. This is on account of the uniformity in the working hours in the building trades." "Will the lessening of hours decrease the pay, or will yon demand the same pay for" eight hours that you now receive for nine and ten?" was asked. "That will regulate itself. Wherever the price of labor is regulated by hours there will be no change. It may be possible that some employers who now pay by the day will want to reduce wages. Whether their employes will stand a reduction or not is more than I can say. A reduction of hours don not mean a reduction of wages. One thing is certain, the employes will not de mand an increase."

This was about Mr. O'Shea, in which the Master workman called tbe ex-Worthy Foreman a traitor.

Bow to Catch Them Dew to Avoid Them How to Care Thera The Sneezing; Epi demic Outdone by Pe-rn-na. . V NAMES IN COM1ION USE. The various names by which tbe malady of "catching cold" is known are many, and subject to change with each change in theory or whim respecting its cause. In fluenza, coryza, acute catarrh, distemper and catarrhal fever have each their advocates, who think their particular name the best one But the more common name of "catch ing cold" is, perhaps, as expressive of tbe cause of this universal -complaint as any of the more scientific titles. Therefore, "a cold" is the name that will be nsed in this lecture to- designate this distressing and ever-present disease. CAUSES. As is hinted by the name, "a cold" is the result of an exposure to cold in some form. The exposure to produce the effect of "a cold" mast be a peculiar one. An equal exposure of the whole body at one time, whether sudden or gradnal, rarely results in catching cold. People who 'are much exposed to the weather, iair and foul, are not so liable to catch cold as those who spend most of the time indoors. A par tial exposure of the body to cold or wet the feet, for instance is much more likely to cause ' cold" than a like exposure of tbe whole body. A draft on a portion of the body will cause one to take cold more certainly than to face a gale with the whole person. Depressed states of the system, from too close confinement in warm rooms, or illy-ventilated room, bad food, over-work, chronio disease, irregular or intemperate habits, all are favoraole to frequent colds. Catching cold frequently occurs without any seeming explanation. One sometimes goes to bed at night perfectly well, and wakes in the morning with a cold. a. coia sometimes comes suddenly upon a person in midday engaged in their usual employment with no intimation as to its origin. Again, colds sometimes seem to sweep overa country like an epidemic, due to some miasmatic, electric or atmospheric cause unknown. SYMPTOMS. In each case slight differences appear dne to the state of health and peculiarities of the constitution of the individual. Sneez ing and slight chilly feelings are followed by a watery exudation from the nose, which soon becomes sore, and cold sores may ap pear about the mouth a puffy, bloated feeling in the face and head, and sometimes severe headache, congh, sore throat, loss of appetite, aching in the bones of the whole body, are more or less prononnced in nearly every case Hawking, spitting, blowing, wheezing, sneezing, shivering, yawning, stretching, coughing, gageing and belching, combine to make the victim as miserable as any disease known to man. THE DANGEBS. Although "a cold" is rarelvdireetlv fatal. yet it is the most productive source of in curable diseases that is known to the med ical profession. At least one-third of the deaths in the United States are easilv traced to the effects of a cold. Croup, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, consumption, pleurisy, diphtheria, pneumonia, rheumatism, acute heart disease, Bright's disease of the kid neys, neuralgia and paralysis are. in thou sands of instances, directly traceable to "a cold." It is the most frequent, the most dangerous, and the most neglected ill of life. PBEVENTIVES. They may be summed up as cleanliness, all-wool clothing in all seasons, outdoor ex ercise, ventilated sleeping rooms, early re tiring ahdrising, good food, and plenty to do. Yet in spite of every precaution, it frequently happens that a cold is taken, and this brings us to the treatment THE TREATMENT of colds ought to begin with the appearance of the first symptoms. Many vears' ob servation has convinced me that hot-drops, quinine, hot slings, Dover powders, ginger urins.3 ana a nou oi similar remedies are not only unreliable, but often injurious, as they all alike have the effect of cansing un natural perspiration, which is liable to be checked by the slightest exposure, and the cold increased thereby. Since "a cold" has the invariable effect of producing congestion of some mncous surface, the remedy for it ought to operate there also. The compound, Pe-ru-na, was devised by me with especial reference to this effect It operates by increas ing the circulation in the mucous membranes of the whole body, and no matter where "the cold" may have settled, whether in head, throat, lungs, kidneys or urinary organs, Pe-ru-na will immediately relieve the congested membrane and stop the dis charge. When first taken, a wineglassful of Pe-ru-na in hot water, repeated more or less according to the severity of the attack, will scarcely ever fail to break up "a cold." An old cold that has settled somewhere is better treated by tbe regular doses prescribed on the bottle, which, if obeyed, can be al ways relied upon to make a permanent cure. Should the bowels be irregular, as thev are likely to be at such times, thev shnnfH fc -kept resrnlated bv thn nun nf Man.n.lin , -- j.--- - - -. w nether the cold has settled in the head and produced catarrh or deafness, or settled In the throat and produced enlarged tonsils or hoarseness, or settled in the bronchial tubes and lungs, producing couch orasthma, or settled in the kidneys or bladder, pro ducing Bright's disease or gravel, Pe-ru-na is the great remedy I have invariably relied upon for my treatment of these cases. Thousands of cases of colds, in ail stages and phases, are treated every year under my personal directions or by my associate physi cians with Pe-rtfna; innumerable others who buy it at the drugstores are using it in similar cases, and the combined experience and testimony is, that Pe-ru-na is the most speedy and permanent cure yet discovered. Pe-ru-na is equally valuable to prevent, to cure and to entirely remove the effects of "a cold." No family, especially at this season of the year, ought to be without this excel lent preventive and cure for that most in sidious, ever-present, disease breeding maiauy caiiea "a coia.
