MISS WILLARD A FAITH CURIST
Miss Frances E. "Willard, President of
the "World's and of the National "W. C. T.
TJ., 'was in the city for a few hours last
evening, on her way to Blairsille and In
diana, expecting to retnrn next Tuesday
ior the Allegheny County "W. C. T. IT. Con
vention, and to speak in Pittsburg that
evening. In reply to the questions ol a
Dispatch, reporter 5Iis TVillard said, in
substance:
"The "V. C. T. U. is neither partisan nor
non-partisan, when you consider those terms
in a strict sense, though we have beeu
called and have called ourselves by both
those names. It all depends upon one's
point of view. If yon look at a great moun
tain or a great character under one angle of
vision, it presents one aspect, but when your
point of view is changed its appearance is
altogether different. So it is with a great
movement. In our organic law, our plans of
work and our departments the "W. C. T. U.
is altogether non-partisan.
UEVEK IMEKESTED FIXAXCIA17LT.
"2 ot a dollar has ever gone from its treas
ury to the Prohibition party, and it has,
unhappily, no ballots to bestow. But at its
annual conventions the W. C. T. TJ. adopts
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
majority on all the chief features of the
temperance reform for that year. In later
years it has been our custom in most States
to adopt a resolution in favor of any political
movement that favored the temperance
cause: thus, in Iowa and Kansas the "W. C.
T. U. has expressed repeatedly, in its an
nual conventions, its thanks, and sometim-s
its fealty to the Republican party that has
in those States done so much for prohibition,
and in Kansas has given the municipal bal
lot to women.
"I was present in South Dakota when 200
delegates in the "W. C. T. 17. Convention
last lall pledged their influence, with prac
tical unanimity, to the Republican party
there, because it had declared for prohibi
tion, both State and national The same con
vention also thanked the minority of Demo
crats who, in their party contention, had
voted for a plank in lavor of constitutional
prohibition. But in most of the States, as is
well known, v,e cannot indorse either of
these parties. because they are so made up that
they cannot safely declare for prohibition.
LOOKI G OUT FOE THEMSELVES.
"The law of self preservation is the first law
of nature, and tbey cannot bo expected to put
the knife to their own throats by indorsing
that which he bolting members of their party
v. ill not tolerate hence tbey are silent on the
subject of prohibition But in a republic tbo
tide always wins that has most votes; laws get
upon the statute books bj the suffrages of men
lio were the candidates of opposing parties,
and who. when Greek met Greek at the ballot
box, had the most otes.
A reform measure cannot be carried by
being voted against, hence the W. C. T. U. he
lloes that it should lavor the party thai favors
prohibition. Wo are. then, as our record
Ehows. most correctly described by the phrase
pan partisan: that is, we favor any and all par
ties that favor prohibition, But, as 1 have,
often said, n e could not, as a national societj,
consent to remain in rel .lions of equal friend
ship toward one national party thit ignored,
another that denounce t, and a third that es
poused the cause of Drohibition. Foi while we
are pan-partisan, and alu a s have been. In the
ouiiook. ox our society oy wnicn x mean mat
we are ready, as has been proved, to express our
appreciation of an party that exprtses its
appreciation of prohibitory law I havo no dis
position to blink the fact that we are in the
habit of passing resolutions annually in tho
National W C. T. U. favorable to the national
Prohibition party.
WHY IT 'WAS IKDORSED.
"Indeed, we have done so, calling that party
Toy name, since, in ISSf, I presented to each na
tional political convention a petition from the
National W. C T. IT., askieg for a plank in
their platforms favorable to the submission of
a. prohibitory amendment to tho National Con
btitution, and all declined except the Prohibi
tion party.
"Hut that resolution does not bind the minor
ity, for we explicitly declare in one of our by
laws that no auxiliary is bound by any principle
avowed or plan of work devised by the Na
tional W. C T. U. The resolution simply ex
presses the consensus of conwction in the ma
jority. For J ears Khotle Island did not vote
with us, and she was uecr coerced into a
change of attitude. Iowa has opposed the
resolution, and has been free to do so; indeed
the President of its V. C. T. U. heads the
receding movement, and still remains a mem
ber ot the Executho Committee of the Na
tional W. C. T. U.
"We claim to know something of tbe mean
ing of a tolerant spirit toward those from
whom wo diffc. We claim that in passing onr
annual resolutions we do no injustice to any,
but maintain the right of free speech. A con
ference of ministers has many a time passed
resolutions dtclanng that it would vote for no
party that would not declare for prohibition.
Usually a minority of those mmisteis have been
Republicans, and has cone its wav in peace,
ottng for its Republican candidates as though
nothing hau happened, and surely that minor
ity w as in no wise 'oppressed.
FOLLOWISG THE V 1IITE TLAG.
"The fact is we white ribbons believe that
we ought to follow the white flag oi prohibition
wherever it may be displayed. If this is
partisan and, so far as the resolution is con
cerned, it is we are prepared to saj so.
"In early years wo did. In a few instances,
send delegates to Prohibition party conven
tions, but this has Ions since ceased except
as women go bj election through prohibition
clubs or county conventions, and though tor
years a member of the National Exccutivo
Committee of the Is ational Prohibition party,
I have resigned that office.
"lint I nrml belie e there is to be a political
movement in this country, and one that will
make itself a felt force in the next Presldental
campaign to which the Prohibition partv will
afford a nucleus in which the farmers and wage
workers will join, and which, with the name of
Reform or Home Protection party, shall unite
tho progressive forces of the Republic in a
square battle with the saloons in law and poli
tics. When that day comes, tho W. C T. TJ.
will take sides with that movement, and, in
God's name, will dare to take the conse
quences." MISS WILT.AKD A FAITH-CTJEIST.
Miss Frances E. Willard honored a meeting
of the Faith Healers in Bethany Home last
evening with her presence. It was not her In
tention to make an adarcss, but the colored
"aunty" of the Home inspired her to do so by
singing stirring religious hymns. Miss Willard
is a Arm believer m the ability and willingness
of Christ to become one's phjsicaLas well as
moral physician, if such a desire is made mani
fest. After the meeting an informal reception,
with introductions to Miss Millard, was in
order.

MI!. GILLELAND KAMED.
Ho Receive Notice of Ills Appointment as
Postmaster for Alleehcny City Ills
Cnrecr ns Farrier. Soldier, Clerk nod
Business Man His Assistant-To-Bc.
Mr. John A. Gilleland, of Allegheny.
yesterday received a telegram from Colonel
Bayne, notifying him that his name had
been sent to the Senate as postmaster of
Allegheny City.
Mr. Gilleland was born in Ohio township
and remained there on a farm uutil grown.
He then got employment in the drygoods
bouse of tho lato William bemple on March 4,
1861, and remained ther6 until tho breaking
out of the Civil War when he enlisted in the
One Hundred and Ninety third Pennsyl
vania Regiment, serving under Colonel
J. P. Clark and Captain John S Bell
Alleghcny' Hew Postmaster.
in Company E, and was discharged May, 1S6A
Mr. Gilleland cast his first voto in the army
neir Sbarp-bnrg, Md. Ho re enlisted in the
ion daj s' service and served in the same regi
ment in Company B. and under the same Cap
tain and same Colonel He again enlisted in
the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and served until the end of tho war and was
discharged in Victoria, Tex., January 16. I860.
This time Mr. Gilleland was a feecond Lieuten
ant and when mustered out drew his pay,
SLliB S3.
After the close of the war, Mr. Gilleland re
turned to Allegheny and again entered Mr.
Semplo's service, subsequently starting a dry
goods store of his own on Beaver avenue and
still does business at the same place, latterly as
a merchant tailor. In 1SG9. ho married Miss
Dunlap, daughter of H. M. Dunlap.
Mr. unieiana oojects to inc statement mat
lie is a prominent politician, though he does
not deny that he has taken '. rather active part
In politics. Ho also states that ho has never
been a member of Councils. He served four
years, however, ou the School Board, and this
spring wb re elected a member of the Poor
Board. He is in his 50th year, and is pow cr
fnlly built and looks as though he might bo
ablo to stand the strain of office for many years
to come.
Mr. Gilleland says that he will take charge of
the postoffiee just as soon as the coast is clear,
which will be early in April, at which time Post
master Swan's commission expires. Being Col.
onel Bayne's choice, and having the support of
benator Qua, and the nomination being gen
erally lavorably received by Alleghenlans, Mr.
Gilleland's term as postmaster is likel to be a
pleasant one.
'Squire M. J. Clarke, of the Fifth ward, will
be Mr. Gilleland's Assistant Postmaster, but no
other appointments hive been under considera
tion. As Allegheny City is to some extent sub
sidiary to Pittsburg in postofhee matters, and
Mr. Gilleland sustains such close relations to
Postmaster McKean that there can be no
doubt but that the energy of the Pittsburg
official will be reflected on the sister citj.j

WARNING DEUG MEN.
They Break the Brooks Law in Ee
filling Liquor Prescriptions.
A CIRCULAR S00& TO BE ISSUED.
Local Druggists Comment on Some of the
haw's Harsh features.
EXCErnoxs made to keae fkieids
The general public will be surprised to
learn that many druggists in the State have
been violating the Brooks law, and laying
themselves open to a fine of 5500. The very
general practice of refilling prescriptions for
spirits is the violation in question, and that
the heads of the Pennsylvania Pharmaceuti
cal Association intend issuing a cautionary
circular is considered significant.
The Chairman of the Legislative Com
mittee of the association, M. N. Kline, of
Philadelphia, has written a letter to a mem
ber of the State body iu which he savs: "I
am preparing a circular which I will send
to all members of the association and all
State druggists, calling attention to the de
cision of tho Supreme Court as to the responsi
bility of retail druggists under the Brooks high
license law, which. I think, will be of great in
terest to tho druggists of this State, many of
whom have doubtless overlooked its provis
ions." KO REriLLIKG ALLOTTED.
The gentleman who received the letter said:
"While this allnsion to the Brooks law may
seem somewhat vagno to tho general public,
the druggists of Pennsylvania know very well
what it means. By the decision of the Supreme
Conrt, to which Mr. Kline refers, it has been
definitely decided that a prescription for splrit
ous, vinous or malt liquors cannot be refilled
upon anj pretense whatever. These prescrip
tions are issued by the thousands and are refilled
endlessly in a majority of cases. Those druggists
who hao been refilling the prescriptions hive
been violating one of the strictest provisions of
the Brooks law.and if a few Wisbarts take hold
of the matter it would bo extremely unpleas
ant. Mr. Kline Is issuing the circular so as to
antedate the annual renewal of druggists licen
ses, and to post the druggists as to a question
which, if honestly answered, might deprive
them of licenses. I am not quite clear in my
mind as to who is charged with interrogating
the druggists, but no chances will be taken by
the trade."
At the Duquosne pharmacy the clerk in
charge stated that they were fully aware of
the existence of tho phase of the Brooks law
referred to, and had always endeavored to live
up to that provision. There micht be cases,
however, in which druggists refilled such pre
scriptions if thev were the property of near
friends or relatives, while under a belief that
they had such right under a common rule with
some dealers of using their own judgment in
such matters. As far as they were concerned
they had not, nor would they, refill a whisky
prescription.
KATHEE HARSH LAW.
T. W. D. Hieber, of Penn avenue, said: "I
may best illustrate tho rule which I follow in
such case by relating an instance that occurred
a short time ago. A poor woman who had
a whisky prescription, to be used in the case of
a sick child, came to mo and endeavored to
hav me fill the bottle, ana I was compelled
to refuse her, although she begged hard to
havo me do so, arguing that it
would cost so much to go to a physician,
and fee him for duplicating his former work.
I most say that I felt sorry for tho woman, and
am of the opinion that tho law is considerably
off in that respect, but obeying it, as I under
stand it, I refused her. I really think there are
some druggists who freely duplicate a former
prescrintion ot the kind, but who I cannot posi
tively say."

has been a constant source of complaint for
two orthreo years. The officers themselves

He Knocked the Fi. Wsjno Jcnney Compnnr
in n Patent Knit.
A decision was rendered a few days ago by
the Commissioner of Patent ' in an interference
case relating to a patent on a system of electric
lighting claimed by the Westinghouso Elec
tric Company and the Fort Wayno Jenney
Electric Company. The decision is in favor of
tho local company.
About two years ago the Evansville Electric
Light Company of Evansville, Ind , was sned
by tho Fort Waj no Jenney Electric Company
in tho United States Circuit Court at Indian
anapolis for using a certain system of electric
lighting which the Fort Wayne Company
claimed to exclusively own. The Evansvillo
company uses the Westinghouse alternating
current apparatus, and for that reason the suit
was directed against tho Pittsburg company.
When tho claims of tho Tort Wayne peoplo
were Investigated, tho Westinghouse company
found that the right to the patent ought by
reason of priority of invention to belong to
them, and the conseqnence was that interfer
ence proceedings were at once entered in the
Washington Patent Office. The case has oc
cupied the lawyers for over a yearand a half.

ROLLERS WILL FIGHT.
They Are Opposed to the Increase
Asked for by tho Roughers.
MEETING CALLED FOR TO-MORROW
Another Pittstnir Locomotive Going to
South America.
SETEEAL MINOR INDUSTEIAL ITEMS
The rollers and heaters will oppose the
effort of the roughers and catchers to secure
an advance of 5 per cent in wages. A meet
ing of rollers and heaters of tbe ten-inch
mills down to and including the six-inch
mills, has been called for to-morrow after
noon at the St. Charles Hotel for the pur
pose of considering the best plan to adopt in
order to accomplish this end.
The roughers and catchers held a meeting
in January and formulated a demand for a
5 per cent advance, subject to the approval
of fhenext meetingof the Amalgamated As
sociation. At present, on large sheet and
jobbing mills the wages for roughing and
catching 13 f2 CO per turn each, of seven
heats. When eight heats are made the rate
is S3 0U per turn. Iho roughers and catchers
claim they are not paid a Just percentage, and
will make a hard fight for tho aavance.
THEY -WERE IGNORED.
It is quite natural, of course, that the rollers
and heaters should oppose the demand, as it
effects them directly. Last year the roughers
and catchers met on the Southsidc and made
the same demand. They were completely
ignored on the ground that they were too lato
m asking This year they held their meeting
earlv and made the same request.
Tho opposition is made now on the ground
that they violated the constitution of the asso-
lation, bat in what particular is not stated.
The roughers and catchers claim they are
guilty of no violation, but that they bavo fol
lowed tho provisions of the rules of the associa
tion to the letter, and arc willing to alndo by
tho decision of the Amalgamated Association
at their convention in June.
The mcetirg of the roughers and catchers
was held in Imperial Hall, January 12, ana the
result was sent to all lodges in tbe association.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
It is said that tbe circulars were approved
unanimously by many of the lodges and the
advance asked for by the roughers and catchers
was meeting with such favor that the rollers
became alarmed. It is claimed that the op
position against their demand originated in tbe
Brownstown and Schoenberger's Fifteenth
street mills.
Ihe rollers and heaters wero very anxious to
hold a secret meeting, and engaged a roller to
make a tour of the mills and invite the men
personally to the meeting to-morrow. Un
fortunately for them the gentleman made a
mistake and invited a rougher. It was not
long then until the roughers and catchers were
all posted and they will be prepared to meet
any objections that the rollers and heaters may
advance.
The result of to morrow's meeting, or the ac
tion of tbe Amalgamated Association on tho
demand of the roughers and catchers, will not
have any effect on the manufacturers' scale. It
is a matter wholly with the association, to be
settled by that body. To morrow's meeting will
be a very large onoand in all probability an in
teresting one.
TO ORGANIZE CAR PAINTERS.
Tho Trades Union Will Oppose any Scheme
to Get Them Into iho K. of L.
It is stated that an effort is being made by
Joseph L. Evans, organizer of D. A. No. 3,
Knights ot Labor, to organize the car painters
and others connected with that work into a
local assembly of the Knights. The effort is
meeting with some opposition from tho
Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, who
claim that these men are eligible to member
ship in their organization.
This is the other new local assembly spoken
of several days ago. The matter Is being kept
quiet until the organization is completed, on
account of the antipathy of certain painters.
THE STRIKE ABOUT SETTLED.

There are no new developments in the Pitts

PANAMA IN THE SHADE.
That Worgantown Cannl Would Swnuip the
Government.
Colonel Roberts and Mr. Goodwin, two of tbe
Eric Canal commissioner!, went to Harrlsburg
last evening to look over a number of surveys
and old documents. The. Colonel said they
were making some progress in going over the
proposed route.
In speaking of tho suggested canal from Mor
gantown to Cumberland. Colonel Roberts said:
"It is tho most impracticable scheme I ever
heard of. Why, the Panama Canal, on which
they have already spent 5150,000,000 and is a
failure, is nothing compared with this project.
To build it would swamp the'Government, and
it would take a billion dollars to do it. The
canal would pass through high mountains with
a summit of 2.700 feet, and there is no water on
the divide Talk about a tunnel 60 miles long,
it is ridienlous.
"But there is no necessity to go through this
country. The route to pursue is by way of
the Youghiogheny and Castleman river3 to
Mcyersdale. There acanal could be cut through
3V miles long to Will's creek, which runs to
Cumberland and empties into the Potomac.
This route was once surveyed, and $2.3,000 was
spout on it by the State. The age of canals has
notpas3cd, and when one is properly built and
handled it will pay and help the country."
Colonel Robert! thonghttbat the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal could be repaired for from
8300,000 to $100,000, bnt Mr. Goodwin, who had
seen part of tho canal sinco last summer's
flood at Harper's Ferry, was afraid that it 13
completely wrecked.
A MISTAKE S03IEWIIERE.
Tho Bluff" street Renumbering Being Con
ducted on Rnslncns Principles.
There seems to be a misunderstanding abont
the rennmbering of houses on Bluff street. It

Safety was forcing citizens of that street to
purchase numbers, and that one citizen refused
to comply with his request and claimed that
others bad been duped.
.Mr. Thomas R. Adams, a property owner,
stated to a reporter yesterday that somo time
ago the Citj Engineer presented a plan of the
street to householders, with tho request that
they rennmber their houses in accordance with
it, Mr. J. A. Miller, an old man who has fol
lowed this businPas on his own responsibility,
was induced by friends to canvas3 the street
and exhibit his samples in order to secure
orders. Mr. Adams sajs that Mr. Miller never
represented himself as an tmploe of the De
partment of Public Safety, and claims that an
injustice was done him by thenublication. Ho
does not know uhethcr another person is can
vassing the s'reet and making false representa
tions t the property owners, but vouches for
Mr. Miller as an upright and honorable man
who is endeavoring to make an honest living.

any trouble. The routes of the parades
have been so arranged that the performance
like that which occurred at the dedication of

ground, but the leaders hope that they can
parade side by side witbont a conflict.
