K THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1890. BEEFSTEAK DINNERS. Old-Fashioned Feasts of the Most Popular Kind Served Amid SEVERELY SIMPLE SURROUNDINGS An Elegantly Dressed Woman Whose Acts Canse Much Comment. ACTORS WHO KELP ALL THEIR DIMES iroRBEFrojfDENCE or the dispatch.! Xew Xokk, March 23. Giving beefsteak dinners is an old-time custom, which is still in vogue among a few epicures here in New York. Many years atro, Uncle Bill Miller's tavern, in upper Broadway, was the resort for all the prominent men of the day who were fond of a good steak, and the register, which contains autographs of celebrities in every line of life, is an interesting, as well as valuable book to delve through. Miller has retired, immensely rich, but stillfor the pleasure of the gathering, he gives a treat to a party o! his old friends now. He still re tains the famous old "school house stove," on which he cooked steaks for 40 years. Such people as Dclmonico, Conkling, Stokes. Dr. Depcw, Booth and other equally prominent men have sat down on stools about a table mi nus a linen cover. The mode of preptring one ot these steaks as carried ont by Uncle Bill will perhaps be interesting to the Dis patch readers of a gastronomic turn. The delicacies are all cooked on one of the old fashioned wood burning stoves and nothing but hickory logs, each two feet long, a re used as fuf'. They are allowed to burn until they can be broken up into fine embers. Over these coals a gridiron holding five large steaks, two inches thick, are placed. The meat is espe cially keDt for these dinners for five and six weeks, frozen to a very tender degree. While the steaks are cooking, on the top ot the stove is a large pan of pure countrv butter which i melted and ercd for a gravy. After the steaks are finished, they are steeped in the boil ing butter. A number of slices of bread are toasted, upon which the steaks are served to each cuest, who is provided only with a large napkin, no knife, fork or plate being used. The steaks are so tender that no knife is needed, andtrulx thev "melt in one's mouth." First, as an "appetiser' a glass of sherry is given the cuer, while during the meal a common bar class of English ale is served to accompany the luscious rare bit The dinner'generally lasts until everyone is completely satisfied in appetite, and the ono v ho eats tbe mirt is presented with a medal of the leathern kind. Recently a Plttsburger took off the prize easily. After the steak por tion is over, as a dessert a nice French chop is given to induce aigestinn, then a song is sung by the party, and the banquet is at an end. The custodian of such alters now is Uncle Nick Englc. who very courteously cives many a party of Pittsburgers or other out-of-towD friends the rare treat of a beefsteak dinner. THE MYSTEEIOUS WOMAN. I saw a woman of evident refinement reeling along Sixth avenue the other night. She wore stylish garments and diamonds glittered upon ner. i saw ner enter me "lamny entrance" ot one of the most notorious dives along this thor oughfare, and I afterward inquired from one of the habitues of the place who she was. "She's de mystery, she is, an' a dead swell Jeddy. She's out on Sandy, which occurs every month. See her Bittin in dere at de table. None of de gang dare make a move against her. She is away up in addition, aud travels with tbe upper ten peo ple. Sec?" I became interested In her. and my friend with me, and I inquired into her identity more lully. One of the colored waiters then told mo this much of her history: "Tbe lady is a married wornan.of the most delicate manners, who simply goes out slumming for excitement and for her love for liquor. She generally travels in a coach, w ith a driver, and j ou never see anyone talking to her If she is addressed by any stranger her answers are generally of such a dignified nature that the people are given to understand that they must not lavish any attentions upon her. She lives up in Fifty-first street, I am told, which is a very arisiocratic neighborhood, and has a son some 10 or 12 years of age. I have seen her when she is her selr, and you could hardly believe her the same woman you now see in the room. No one can learn her name, and that's the reason she is called the Mystery. Slie comes from Uucks Cot lty. Pa., and there her f.ttuer was one of the leading public men. One of the greatest of Pennsylvania statesmen washer uncle, who lavished bis love and affection m her, attended to her education, and promoted her interests socially anA otherwise. This is the story I bear about her, and it is as much as any one ever learned about this strange, beautiful creature. There she sat amidst a throng of women and men, whose ch .racters were tar from being un tarnished, but withal the greatest repectwas paid her bythose who would stoop to do almost anything in the category of crime for a few dollars. THE DIME-SAVING PAD. Professional people on the stage are generally peculiar, and as is their wont in the business they are forever springing new tbings on the public in every-day life. One of the latest ideas which has broken out among the prosperous players is the saving of dimes and pennies. The swear off, as it were, spending a dime at any time, and if a purchase should only cost that amount the crank religiously sinks it into his chauge pocket and breaks a bill rather th?n break his resolution. The bank where the dimes are deposited is an automatic institution which locks itself securely after the first ten- cent piece is dropped m tne sloe, w hen 100 pieces have accumulated then the miniature safo unlocks, and the savings are laid away to be joined to another collection soon. It is both useful and entertaining, and the scheme is well worth the trying by many of those people who would go homo broke if they possessed a single coin. Matt Snyder, the very popular member of the Fauntlerov Company, is the most sedulous saver in New York, and many a funny story is told on him. A year or so ago he and his com pany were in Chicago. Mr. Snyder had occa sion to go over on the Northside, but found he was without any change, excepting several dimes. lie asked his charm ing wife if she would accommodate lnm with a "case." She handed him a silver dollar, and he got on the borso car, and ten dered tbe coin as fare. The conductor dropped it into his capacious pocket, aud handed Matt his change, composed of nine 10-cent nieces and one mckcL It was one of thoso" cold, windy days when Old Boreas makes Lake Michigan end over Chicago a large quantity of frozen ozone. Mt. Snyder was chilled some what, and to prevent any pulmnoary trouble or chilly disposition, bo dropped into a gilded shop where these preventives are dispensed at 15 ceuts a dispense. AS EMDAEEASSINO FIX. He called for the beverage, and had helped the glass to a very stiff "swig." when the thought struck him that he had noth ing but dimes and one nickel to pay for it He with characteristic mimicry feigned Eudden sickness, and made several wry faces to carry out his scheme. Pushing the glass back, he shook his head sig nificantly, and rushed out of the place, leaving tho white-coated proprietor amazed. He never stopped until he landed at the hotel, where his fair partner supplied him with some more change to satisfy his desire. Mr. Snyder's bank at present contains some thing like S110 now. and at the end of the season perhaps he will have sated 200, with which he will buy a horse and cart for bis two young daughters to drive along the beach at "the Branch." Charlie Matthews. Jack Morgan and many other professional people are in the same business, and they all say it is superior to any banking institution of larger proportions or capital stock. The town has been freer of Pittsburgers than usnal the past week, and vet not a turn ronlil I make on Broadway that 1 wouldn't run across some of them. About the St James manv of them hang out, also at the .Fifth Avenue and the Hoffman. Some of the faces which are familiar to me include Sheriff McCandless Florence C. Miller. Murray Vcrner, Sellers McKee. George L. Holliday, D. LGillespie. G. Edward Painter, B. H. L. Dabbs and wife. F. 8. Smith, John H. Ricketson. Mrs. E. J. Milll pan, J. C. E. Ilnmsey, J. Painter, Jr..

The fifth day of the Central Methodist Conference opened this morning with love feast services, led bv Rev. Dr. Thompson Mitchell, ot "Williams port Bishop R. S. I'oster, of Boston, or dained the following as effective deacons: Local preacher, James T. Richardson; trav eling preachers, R. T. Whitelv. Franklin M. Welsh, William T. S. Dever, James E. Weeks and Robert G. Mogart The Bishop took for his text 1 Timothy, i., 15. and preached a most effective sermon. "Christianity." he said, "derives its power from its truthfulness. If this gospel is not true this world has never had a word from God as touching man. Nature is God's great took, but is not sufficient to lead men to God. The gospel proclaims a beingwho sees the end from the beginning. God onlv speaks to man in the person of Jesus Christ" -Why," he con tinued, "should men disbelieve the truths of revealed religion? Why treat with scorn the teachings of the Bible? It this word concern ing Jesus be not true we know nothing of Him. If wo close the Bible wo havo no positive proof that death does not end all. There is nothing to prove immor tality that does not come from this book; all other endeavors are only circumstantial. This statement that Jesus came into tho world im plies that He came from some place. He came as a messenger. Ho came for a purpose to save sinners. The fact ot (jurist's coming into the world is now almost universally admitted. The object of His romlng is not admitted, hut this cannot he settled by man. Only God Him self can settle it Can wo get this testimony? Xes God is on the witnes stand. The testi mony is in prophecy and in miracles. Jesus came authorized and commissioned of heaven. He appeals to propheevto confirm His missions and perform wonderful miracles to provo His divine mission. This afternoon Bishop Thomas Bowman or dained thefnlloningelders: Traveling deacons, William W. Carhart, Simpson B. Evans Loreuzo D. Ott, Herman H. Crotsbv, Robert II. Stine, Charles A. Biddle. Samuel P. Boone, William M. Brill, John R. Melroy.John W. Forest and Thomas A Elliott: Local deacons, J. C Young, T. Lyman, J. Mutchmore. This evening the missionary anniversary was cele brated. Kev. E. H. Yocum, of Harrisburg, presided. Addresses were delivered by Rev. M. L. Ganer, of Chambersburg, and Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard. The pulpits of the various churches of this and neighboring towns were filled by the members of the Conference. BLACKIiEGRING DENIED. A Protest Issued br tbe Working Miners of flerch Tree. SrECIAL TELEGUAM TO THE PISPATCn.: Bbockwayville. March 23. A committee representing the striking miners of Beech Tree have issued the following circular: We desire to make the following defense of our position: First We have been accused of blacklegging, and we would sarthat we should be tlie best per sons to govern our own affairs, and until such a time as wc can overthrow capital, it would be best for us to make all the money we can on them In ttic easiest possible manner. Second Ihc miners of Adrian and Walston met at l'uuxsutawney. and drew up a set or 3S resolu tions that were enough to frighten any operator, and when they were refused thev struck, ana wanted us to do tbe same. We held a meeting, and were hissed end Insulted when wc tried to talk. 'third They say we are loading their contracts, vet how can that oe when we loaded 60 cars per day before tlie strike aud are doing the same now. Again, how would It benefit Adrian and Walston if we struck? It would not benefit ihetn for this reason, hundreds of men are In their places, and how can a company settle with men wben their places are already filled? The resolution ends with notes of defiance to the striking miners, and a challenge to them to prove tbe Beech Tree working miners black sheep. TWO BEATE SCHOOLGIRLS Snve West Penn Pasncncer Train From Destruction. .SPECIAL TEIXGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.I Butler, March 23. Two little schoolgirl heroines at Brinker station, on the West Penn, saved a market train there yesterday from what would have been a bad wreck. Near that station is a deep cut, and a heavy land slide occurred there where it could not be seen by a train coming to wardButler. Some girls while playing dlscoy. ered the slide just before tho evening train was ilue. Two little misses, named Bowen and Diniling, wanted to alarm the engineer, but others objected. The brave children, howevor, heard the noise of an approaching train, and started down the track waving their shawls to attract attention. The encineer saw them and cave the usual whistle, and one of the girls left the track, while the other stuck vallautly to her post, waving her red shawl to attract attention. The engineer saw at once that there was something more than a girlish prank going on, and re versed his engine within a fw feet of the ob struction. The grateful passengers raised quite a purse for the girls. LLOWX TO PIECES. A Well Shooter Killed br the Explosion of 40 Pound of Dynamitr. rEFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Lima. March 23.

They are the people's Carpet for rich and exquisite effects at a most moderate outlay. Body Brussels. The brands as heretofore, Hartford, Bigelow, Bromley and Whittals, down to the go cent grade.
