sThe Free Library Trustees on a Cable
Car Junket.
BEDFORD BASIN ONLY A BRANCH
"For the first time in my life in Pitts
burg," said Mr. Carnegie last evening, as
he alighted from James B. Scott's private
carriage at Union depot, preparatory to re
pairing to Mr. H. C. Frick's suburban
home, "I have viewed the length, hreadth
ana height of our city," and that about
expresses the results of the tour of the Board
of Trustees of the Carnegie tree library.
As to the net results of the tour it cannot
be said that anything is settled, as a formal
meeting of the Board must occur before any
definite action can be taken in favor of any
site or sites, but if straws show which way
the wind blows, a whole stack was turned
loose to indicate the drift of sentiment yes
terday. As a fair assumption, the Bedford
avenue site may get a branch library, but
in the vicinity of the entrance of Schenlev
Park will be the aggregated buildings which
Mr. Carnegie has denominated as "the main
arrangement," including a magnificent
music hall, an art gallery, a museum of
science and curios, a scientific reference
library, and the academy of arts and
sciences building.
AX IKTERESTISG TOUE.
The trip was of great interest to the Board
of Trustees, nearly all of whom, both civic
and official, managed to make it convenien t
to be present At just 1 o'clock the assem
bled trentlenien clustered around Mr. Car
necie upon the lower parapet of the Bedford
basin, and looked ruefully at the squalid
tenements and rookeries which fringe the
city land. Mr. C.irnegie had a tracing
paper map of the Bedford site, which he un
folded and pointed to as he gave expression
to bis evident predilection for the site as the
location of the music hall and (he main
library, but it must be said that Mr. Car
negie approached the site with much more
favorable impressions than those he carried
away with him.
The discussion was democratic, everybody
taking a band. Said Mr. Keating: "I be
lieve I could promise that the city would
rather buy a more eligible site and donate
it, than to give this site for the main library
and music hall." Mr. McCargo remarked
that in winter time people who desired to
scale the hill would need Canadian snow
shoes and an alpenstock. Mr. Scott called
attention to tbe inaccessibility exceptbyone
channel of traffic,
SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS.
Mr. Carnegie thought a row of trees along
the hillside would keep away tbe smoke
from the railroad. It was conceded that
great local improvements would have to
take place in order to make the surroundings
harmonize with the building. Another re
mark made was that the building or build
ings were bound to be architecturally over
shadowed by the gaunt facade of the High
School. Mr, Carnegie said that the sur
roundings would come all right, as indeed
they would when any fine building was
located in a given spot. Mayor Gourlev
thought the draining of the basin wonld
give a chance for a park on either side of the
buildings.
All sorts of ideas were advanced, bat the
sentiment azainst Bedford avenue for a
mam library and music hall was so em
phatic that it was easy to be seen that site
would not be "kneehigh to a grasshopper"
when the trustees assembled in solemn con
clave. Mr. Carnegie sighed and folded up
the little plan, which was seen no more.
GOOD FOR A BRANCH.
It was remarked pleasantly that Mr. Car
negie resembled Speaker Heed in'being al
wavs read v to bolster up tbe views of the ma
joritv, and the majority left the basin with
the fate f that location decided UDonasa
good place for a branch library if the city
would park the property and clear away
some of the debris inlesting the proximity.
"On to Hardscrabble" was next the
watchword, Dr. McKelvy being anxious
that the trustees should view that delectable
locality. The gentlemen made an imposing
arrav as they tramped vigorcusly down
"Wvlie avenue and across to "Hardscrabble"
via Boss street, and the tatterdemalions of
the localities traversed gazed awestruck at
the man who had given away 51,000,000 and
tbe gentlemen who were to expend it for
him. Bight opposite the mouth of the tun
nel the party halted and gazed at the nonde
script architecture which constitutes the
settlement clinging to the city side of
Boyd's Hill. The festive coats still digest
ing the matutinal repast of tomatn cans, ana
the prize shanties from which Irowsy young
sters poured to undergo examination, made
a. picture of some interest irom a spectacular
standpoint, but for library purposes not
-even of passing interest.
AN ANIMATED DEBATE.
The party formed a group, with Mr. Car
negie in the center, and an animated debate
took place upon the accessibility of sites in
general. Mayor Gourley advanced the
opinion that so long as the great mills and
man u factories continued to skirt the banks
of the rivers, so long would the masses pre
serve a residence proximity. In support of
that argument he asked which the main
library and the music hall was for, the
masses or the classes? Somebody said
"both," and everybody laughed. Mr.
Seating maintained that in New Tork
City no public hall or theater below Union
square was now a success.
Tne discussion became general, and was
interrupted by Mr. Scott, who requested Mr.
Carnegie and the trustees to journey to the
top of Herron Hill, where an instructive
view of the city, past, present and iuture,
could be best obtained. So the procession
Trended its way to Wylie avenue, where a
Centrai Traction car was boarded. Mr. H.
K. Porter played the Maecenas to tbe extent
of 15 5-cent fares by virtue of getting a
daddy dollar into the hands of the conductor
before the other solid men dived into their
pockets.
EFFECTS OF BAPID TRANSIT.
It took just 15 minutes to reach the ter
minus, and meanwhile everybody chatted
pleasantly and craned their necks out ot the
car windows, noting the marvelous improve
ments which have taken pl.tce in the Hill
district since rapid transit was secured.
Mr. Holliday looked at the steen ascent
of Herron Hill and then at his injured and
scarcely healed ankle, and concluded to
forego the climb. Mayor Gourley returned
to City Hall, and Mr. George A. Macbeth
found himself nnable to go further, on ac
count of a business engagement. AH the
rest clambered up the hillside with such
spice as sundry remarks about "Moses" and
the "Promised Land" could furnish. Mr.
Carnegie started out with a swinging step
and with bis overcoat on, but he soon sub
sided to a more sedate pace, and presently
the overcoat came offi Conversation flagged
and breath was none to spare.
Finally, the party scrambled up a 45
degree angle at the direct base ol the reser
voir, and halted, really impressed with the
rlorious view that burst upon them. Tbe
da was clear and tbe sunlight kissed the J
"TtirMNMr .WifF.iif.ii
dancing waves of the two rivers and gilded
the gabled peaks of the houses on Black
Horse Hill.
"WHAT THE PARTY SAW.
At tbe leet ol tbe party lay a vast ex
panse of dwelling houses, stretching away
toward Wilkinsburg. To the right rolled
the broad acres ot Schenley Park, with a
mist from Homestead's smokestacks curl
ing in the air. The iron threads of the
Pennsylvania Bailroad ran sinuously east
ward, with thick clusters of buildings in
dicating its stations clear out as far as the
eye could reach. To the leit lay tbe roofs
of Lawrenceville, with Sharpsburg half
hidden by the bluffs along the Allegheny
river.
It was a beautiful panorama, and made
a marked impression upon Mr. Carnegie
and tbe trustees. Intermingled with ex
clamations of surprise were the admissions
which showed that of all those present but
few had ever regaled their eves with the
view.
"There," said Mr. Scott, "is where the
people ol Pittsburg mostly live. What we
see is the growth of a decade, and within
three years the bulk of these houses have
been erected. A meridian line drawn where
we stand shows that 75 per cent of Pitts
burg's people are living eastward from this
spot. What the percentage will be in ten
years rom now is a fair basis for a decision
upon the site for this scheme; all but the
branch libraries."
CAUGHT THE INSPIRATION.
Mr. Carnegie caught the inspiration nf
the view and the moment immediately "It
must be the entrance of Scbenley Park. Is
it not a beautiful place? Birmingham to
be landed at the gate oi the park, say by the
Jones and Laughlin' bridge; Lawrenceville
closer to tbe cluster of buildings than if they
were in the old city; Bloonifield, Bellefield,
Oakland, Shadyside, Roup," Benvenue,
Hazelwood, East Liberty all accessible,
and but a little distance away. I am a con
vert to the entrance of Schenley Park, and
so must every man be who comes tip here to
look. As an object lesson, Mr. Scott has
provided us with a surprise."
Some one raided the point that there were
no crosstown routes; only the lateral lines of
the Duquesne and Pittsburg Traction Com
panies. Mr. Keating said that the con
nection between the Negley avenue line and
the Morningside road would solve the transit
problem. Mr. Carnegie said that transit
would soon follow the park and the library,
and that tbe people would have means pro
vided to reach the locality.
" On a sunny Saturdav and Sunday that
park might contain 100,000 people, and they
will have transit all right," said Mr.
Carnegie.
LOOKS AS JF SETTLED.
Details of the population centers were
then furnished by various gentlemen, and
the unanimity of opinion seemed to point to
but one conclnsion thelocationot the main
cluster of buildings at or near tbe entrance
of Schenley Park. As all the opinions ex
pressed were favorable, and as no insupera
ble objections were advanced, tbe Schenley
Park site may be regarded as informally
agreed upon, while the Bedford avenue
basin chances grew smaller by degrees and
beautifully less.
The Hvelist satisfaction with the trip and
its obvious results was universally ex
presseJ. The trip down the hill was made
without incident and the trustees dropped
off tlie car as their convenience dictated.
Mr. Carnegie took a last look at tbe basin
site as he entered Union station some hours
later. It was a look suggestive of little en
couragement to that portion of the public
which clings to that section of the city.
A VISIT TO ALLEGHENY.
MR. CARNEGIE TAKES A QUIET LOOK AT
HIS GIFT.
Bo Wished to Examine Ilia First Local
Library CritlcallT Grently Flensed With
the Work Bis Wenlth and Generosity
Ilavp Wiong-hr.
At 5:30 o'clock last evening Mr. Carnegie,
accompanied by Mr. Scott, drove un to the
Federal street entrance of the Carnegie Free
Library in Allegheny, and entered the
building. His own expression explained bis
errand. As he shook hands with Superin
tendent Waddington, Mr. Carnegie said:
"When I was last here it was in a blaze of
glory, and I recollect but little of what I
saw. I want now to examine it critically
and quietly."
The reading room was visited first. Mr.
Carnegie said: "I see newspapers here,
but no books. That library onght to be
moved across the street. This room is cer
tainlv exquisite and fascinating." Crossing
bvthe fireplace his eyes fell upon Bryan
Wall's portrait of himself. He tried to
pass without stopping, hut Mr. Scott de
tained him forcibly, and explained that Mr.
Wall had had to give the portrait a high
color. "Oh, well," said the subject, "I
don't mind liberties taken with my com
plexion." ALL IS ADMIRABLE.
The stairs were ascended to tbe Art
Gallery. "This is a beautiful room," said
Mr. Carnegie. "The great success of that
art loan exhibition ought to result in
periodical events of a similar nature. I
think that exhibited paintings ought to be
so handled as to insure the public some
thing new at each exhibition. There is a
grand future here for local art." He was
mnch interested in the lecture' room, and
thought the whole upstairs arrangement of
the building admirable.
The party then went underneath, through
tbe cellar to the music halL Engineer
Fisher explained the workings of the ma
chinery, and Mr. Carnecie said: "To this
day I cannot understand bow I was rich
enough to create such a beautiiul building."
On reaching the music hall, Mr. Car
negie and Mr. Scott went to tbe gnllery,
while the newly-elected organist, Mr. Leon
ard Wales, assumed the organ and pro
ceeded to develop the beauties of tbe instru
ment. Mr. Carnegie remarked afterward
that he felt like the King of Bavaria, who
mice bad a Wagner opera performed in
Bayreuth for his exclusive benefit.
PERFECT HAKMONT.
The impromptu recital lasted 20 minutes,
and closed with some Scotch ballads. Mr.
Carnegie commended the organ very highly,
and said that the harmony existing between
the organ and hall was perfect He also
thanked the organist warmlv. Subse
quently Mr. Carnegie said for publication:
"In providing for the giving of free re
citals, Allegheny Councils have done wisely
and well. The plan is one that, entrusted
to capable hands, mnst go forward always.
The benefit to be derived is no less im
portant than the literary portion ofthe build
ing. Music is a humanizing agent, and the
pipe organ in this hall has been so success
ful that mv plans for the Pittsburg music
hall include a mur-h larger instrument, and
a hall three times as large, at least.
"I see the Allegheny hall producesa reve
nue Irom societies or persons aide to pay. In
the tree organ recitals. Councils can return
to the masses what the classes pay. Mr.
Wales' selection as organist is personally
pleasing to me, and I shall watch the plan
and expect only the best of results."
MOTHER OF TWENTY-OHE CHTLDBEH.

WILLING TO STEIKE.
Officials of tbe Bnildins Trades Say
All Will be InTolved
IF CONTRACTORS FORCE AN ISMJE.
Miners' Difficulties Have Been Settled for a
Tear, at Least.
THE JEAKNETTE CASE TO BE TESTED
The officials of the various' trades unions
confirm the report published in yesterday's
Dispatch, .that the building trades may
yet strike for the adoption ofthe eight-hour
system. Agent Swartz, of Ihe carpenters,
said yesterday there 'would be nothing done
until tbe contractors attempt to work non
union men. Then the matter will be taken
up and if the builders force a strike tbe men
will demand shorter hours. Agent Beck
said it the strike occurred it would involve
all ofthe trades and several thousand men.
The fact is the union men 'arc determined
not to work with non-union men, and the
trades are even now becoming involved in
difficulties. The tinners' strike is proving
a stubborn light. On the one hand the mas
ter tinners are backed by the Builders'
Exchange, and on the other tbe men are
supported by the other trades affected. Tbe
Executive Committee announced yesterday
that 18 shops have agreed to the wages and
the nine hour proposition,, and about- 48
men have returned to work. There are,
therefore, over 250 men still out on a strike.
A meeting of the journeymen will be' held
to-night to discuss tbe matter.
LIKELY TO MAKE TROUBLE.
There is an intense feeling among all the
building trades, and a little more agitation
is likely to create trouble. The plumbers,
to the number of 250 or 300, went out yester
day because of tbe refusal of tbe bosses to
concede tbe clause in the list of demands
providing that an apprentice shall serve
three years as a helper and two years at the
disposal of the employer before his trade is
complete. The journeymen refuted to go to
work vesterdav morning, but before noon
four firms had conceded the demands in
every particular, and the men returned to
work in the afternoon. The firms who gave in
were: J. B. Gordon, of the East End; H.
F. Olnhausen, ofthe Southside; S. J. Addy,
of Allegheny; John Wise, of Alle
gheny, ana J. F. Dowdle, of the East
End." It is stated, however, that these' are
not members of the Master Plumbers'
Association, and that no firms, in the asso
ciation will grant tbe demands, unless given
permission to do so by the association. The
principal fight seems to be on two of the
firms who it is said try to run their shops
with boys, and the journeymen plumbers
propose'to compel them to employ com;
petent workmen. ,
COULDN'T SETTLE IT.
The majority of the master plumbers were
willing to grant the demands, but the
majority of the association voted against
this, and all are bound by tbe decision.
The journeymen held a meeting last night
at their hall on Water street. About 200
men were present, and it was decided unan
imously to stand by tbe original demands.
There is no likelihood of fbe trouble being
settled soon, as the master plumbers con
tend the dullness of trade is 'in their favor.
Still another trade is involved in the
present difficulty. The plasterers have pre
sented their demands tor an increase of
wages and shorter hours. The matter is to
be arbitrated, however, and is not likely to
cause any serious trouble. The master
plasterers and journeymen each held meet
ings last night and appointed committees to
confer with each other to-night on the mat
ter. The men arc asking for an advance of
50 cents a day.
Several builders seen yesterday were of
the opinion that if the people who are try
ing to pull the Builders' Exchange into the
muddle would keep their hands off, the
various trades could settle their difficulties
with ease. But with three trades now in
volved and the others ready to fall in line,
the prospect for a general strike is more
favorable than ever.
THE MINERS NOT TO STEIKE.
Tbeir Affairs Have Been Satisfactorily
Settled for a Tear.
In regard to the retiort published yester
day that the miners would strike for eight
hours on May 15, tbe Tradek Journal will
say this week: "The rumor about the A. F.
of L. ordering a 'miners' strike' for eight
hours is absurd. Tbe A. F. of L. cannot
'order' auy trade to do that unless the trade
so decides, and miners do not need to strike
for eight hours."
In addition to this John Flannery, of D.
A. 135, of the miners, said yesterday: "The
miners have arranged their affairs for a year
from May 1, and will be content with what
they got for that time. The miners do not
need to strike for eight hour, for the reason
that they can work only six hours now, and
the operators cannot "interfere with them.
They work by the ton."
WILL MAKE IT A TEST CASE.
Sir. McGaw Gets Some Pointers In Wash
ington About the Glass Workers.
H. L. McGaw is home from a four-days'
trip to Washington, where be held a con
sultation with some of the Government of
ficials in relation to the Jeanette glass
workers' case, which comes up in the United
States Court week after next. Mr. McGaw
will be one of the principal witnesses. He
has collected most of the evidence. He said
yesterday:
"The Government must make a test case
of this one, so as to clear itself ofthe odium
resting upon it. I understand the case is
to be used against the window glass sched
ule during the tariff debate, because the
officials ot tbe association violated tbe anti
contract labor laws."
TEE PBINTEBS' SCALE UNSETTLED.
A meeting Called for Midday to Consider
an Aibltrntlon Clause
The printers' scale is unsettled, and as
there isa possibility of one of tbe newspaper
offices adopting the type-setting machines,
it is likely a rearrangement ot tbe scale will
be necessitated. Objections have been
raised to the scale on account of the ab
sence of an arbitration clause. A meeting
o Typographical Union No. 7 will be held
next Sunday to consider the objections.
Most of the dailv offices have accepted the
scale, but they have uutil June in which to
sign. It is claimed by the printers who
wonld not be affected by the adoption of
the machines that il the scale must be re
arranged they will demand an increase of
5 cents per 1,000 tor composition by hand,

MUXES SENT TO THE PASTUEE.
Slanagers of tbe Hampton mines Ready for
a Prolonged Fight. ,
The strike at the Hampton mines shows
no signs of a speedy settlement. In conver
sation with a Dispatch representative last
evening Superintendent Lawton said:
"I have tried my best to come to an under
standing with the men, but they will not
listen to anything short of their full de
mand. They insist upon the Columbus
scale of 79 cents, not taking into considera
tion the fact that where this is paid the men
are compelled to trade at the company store.
We have no store, and 70 cents a ton is as
much as we can afford to pay. We have
sent our mules to pasture, and settled down
to wait."

PXTDDLEHS HAVE A GRIEVAHCE.
The Discourse of Thomas Carney May Ba
salt la n Shut Down.
There is a probability of another strike at
tbe Republic Iron Works, in addition to
the one now on in the plate mill of the es
tablishment. This time the puddlrrs have
a grievance which has already been re
ferred to Vice President Roberts and the
higher officials of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation lor their sanction.
The trouble is over the discharge of
Thomas Carney, who was sick one day, and
when he went to work the following day, he
was informed his place was filled.
A HEW HATI0HAL UHI0IT.
Stonemasons Propose to rail Airaj From
the Bricklayers.
The stonemasons, who have hitherto been
affiliated with the bricklayers in the Inter
national Bricklayers and Stonemasons'
Union, now propose to form a national
organization of tbeir own.
A jjiovement is on foot for the various
local unions of stonemasons to send dele
gates to a national convention. While this
will necessitate a withdrawal from the
bricklayers, the' two trades will still be
closely allied and maintain the most friend
ly relations.
Considering ibe Situation.
The Master Plumbers' Association held a
meeting last night in Post 3 Hall, 78 Fourth
avenue, to consider tbe questions arising
from the strike of the journeymen. An
other meeting will be held at the same place
this evening. In order that there may be a
full expression and the sentiment of the
trade can be reached correctly, all master
plumbers of the two cities, whether mem
bers of the association or not, are invited to
attend.
Edgar Thomson .4 flairs.
Furnace C at tbe Edgar Thomson Steel
Works is closed down for repairs. The new
addition to tbe rail mill will be put in opera
tion about tbe middle of next week. The last
new lurnace being erected here, known as J
lurnace, will be ready for the blast about
the middle of Julv.
No Settlement at Oak Hill.
Tbere is yet no prospect of a settlement
ofthe Oak Hill miners' strike. There have
been several unsuccessful conferences. Of
tbe four mines ot tbe New York and Cleve
land Gas Coal Company in the' county, this
is the only one out.
Will Rebuild Alnch Larger.
The Streator glass factory, which was de
stroyed recently by fire at Streator, 111., is
to be rebuilt The works will be double
their former size. The Streator Bottle Com
pany is also doubling its capacity to 800
gross per day.
They Are Satisfied With It.
The Builders' Exchange held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon to consider a
recent decision ofthe Pennsylvania Supreme
Court in the contractors' lien law. As the
decision is in tbeir lavor no action was
taken.

LOCAL PRIDE AROUSED.
mayor Gonrler Calls far a meeting of
Citizens to Assist In Welcoming Scotch
Irish Visitors Why the Occasloa Should
Appeal lo Alt.
The following preamble and resolutions,
passed by the local committee having in
charge the arrangements lor the next meet
ing of the Scotch-Irish Society of America,
were submitted to Mayor Gourley, who has
been elected an honorary chairman of tbe
Executive Committee:
Whereas, The Scotch-Irish Society of
America has arranged to bold its next annual
meeting In the city ol Pittsburg, on the 29th
day ot May, 1890; and,
Whereas, This meeting will bring to our city
a large number ol representative men, notonly
of this particular race, but of the nation; and
Whereas. It is believed that a free inter
change ot opinions and a more perfect knowl
edge on tbe part of the commercial and manu
facturing interests of this vicinity would be as
profitable as It would be pleasant to us; there
fore. Resolved, First, That the Honorable Mayor
of tbe city of Pittsburg be elected honorary
chairman of this committee: auo,
Besolved, Second, That be, as Mayor of the
city, be requested to call a meeting of the citi
zens of Pituburg, Allegheny and vicinity for
tbo purpose of appointing a committee of rep
resentative men to aid tbe local committee, as
now constituted, in welcoming these strangers
iuto our midst and in providing for their recep
tion and entertainment.
Mayor Gourley responds to these resolu
tions as follows:
Heartily sympathizing with the objects con
templated in the foregoing preamble and reso
lutions, the citizens of Pittsburg, Allegheny
and vicinity are invited to meet in Old City
Hall. Market street, on Saturday afternoon, at
3 o'clock, for the purpose of taking suitable ac
tion in relation to tbe matters relerred to. It
is a well-known fact that the Scotch-Irish took
a very prominent part in tho f urination and ad
ministration of this Government,and especially
Is this true of Western Pennsylvania, which is
popularly known as the center of tbe Scotch
Irish population ot this country. From present
indications some of tho most able and repre
sentative men of the nation will be here to
take part in tbe deliberations, to aid in garner
ing up the history of tho past, and, by a free
interchange of opinions and mutual acquaint
ance, warm up tbe blood of the race to which
they belong. On the basis of common courtesy,
wo ciuuot afford to bave these representative
men, coming as they will from tbe halls of
Congress, Canada and even the Pacific coast to
visit us, without showing them becoming honor
ana respect. From a commercial point of vie .v
it will give us an admirable opportunity to let
the outside world know what is cuing un in tbe
great work-hop of America, and prepare tbe
way for opening up new channels of trade
and commerce, especially with iho booth, from
which there will bo a ery large delegation.
Let our citizens in general take a II Teh interest
in this matter and attend this meeting.

BENEATH THE DOME
Of St,.Paul'F, Andrew Carnegie Views
iha Beautiful -Madonna
THANKS OP THE. CONGREGATION.
Father Wall Presents the Beautiful Em
bossed Itesolutlons.
A FEAST OF YIAKDS WITH SPEECHBS
"This is splendid I" was the exclamation
of Andrew Carnegie as he stood under the
dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, yesterday
afternoon, and gazed around the church, so
recently transformed Irom a dingy edifice to
one of the most beantilul houses of worship
in the country. As Mr. Carnegie's eye
traveled around the vast structure and
noticed .the many changes since bis last
visit, he could not retain himself, and every
now and then would burst out in raptures
of delight. Me leit tne ouuoing with re
luctance, and the remembrance of his visit
will probably be cherished as one ofthe
brightest spots in that philanthropist's life.
Tbe occasion was the reception tendered
Mr. Carnegie for the purpose of presenting
to him tbe thanks of the congregation for
tbe beautiful picture given by him to the
church. The party in charge of Mr. Car
negie arrived at the Episcopal residence,
on Grant s'reet, about 3 o'clock, and was
taken in charge by the committee of clergy
and laity appointed for that purpose. The
committee was composed bf the following
well-known gentlemen:
Bt. Bev. Bishop Phelan, Very Bev. Dr.
Wall, rector of the church; Bev. Fathers
Hfckey, of Braddock: Sheedv. of St. Mary
ot Mercy; Cosgrave, ofthe West End; Cun
ningham, of Turtle Creek, Conwav, of St.
Paul's; Murphy, ot the Holy Ghost College,
and Jerome Kramer, of St. Bridget's;
Messrs. John B. Larkin, Charles F. Mc--Kenna,
A. J. Barr, John Farrel, F. J. Tot
ten, W. H. Griffen, J. C. Eeilly, Captain
John Bcdgers, James Phelan, Bobert Bri
lcy, John Kelly and P. J. McNulty.
WHO THE GUESTS WEBE.
The guests were Messrs. Andrew Carnegie,
Bobert Pitcairn, G. A. Leishman and
George Lander. As they entered the resi
dence the Cathedral Band, stationed in the
reception room to the left of the ball, ren
dered a welcoming selection. The notable
guests were escorted to the main parlor
where general introductions followed.
Bishop Phelan then proposed that the party
view the picture, which has been hung in
the Fifth avenue transent ot the church.
Marching by twos, with Bishop Phelan
and Mr. Carnegie in the lead, the party
crossed the yard and entered the church at
the side door. Father Wall, who was mas
ter of ceremonies, conducted the party up
the extreme eastern aisle to the altar rail
and thence across the church to where the
picture was hanging. The sacrament on
the altar was removed, and without cere
mony the party passed over to view the
picture. At every turn Mr, Car
negie saw something to be admired and
was not backward about voicing
his admiration of the beauties of the church.
The picture had been seen before by all
present, and after commenting upon the
taste of Father WMI by placing it m the
position the painting occupies, the party
saw other beauties to amuse them. A life
sized bust of Pope Pius IX. has been placed
on a pedestal under the picture, and this
was greatly admired.
After gazing around them for some little
time the p.irty marched around the church
and up the main aisle to the altar rail.
Mr. Carnegie made a remarK about the
beauties of .the altar, and Father Wall es
corted him up the steps to get a better view.
The party then marched out the side door to
the Episcopal residence, where tbe presenta
tion was to be made. As the centlemen
passed under the choir they saluted Miss
Grace Miller, the soprano of the church,
who enthralled them by a touching solo.
Miss Alice Carter accompanied Miss Miller
on the organ.
THE PRESENTATION.
Upon their arrival in the Episcopal res
idence, Father Wall conducted them to the
main parlor, where the presentation took
place. Father Wall, in his address,
thanked Mr. Carnegie on behalf of the con
gregation and the city of Pittsburg for the
generous gift. He told bim the painting
had been formally accepted by the congre
gation at a meeting held several mouths
ago. He said the church desired to thank
Mr.Carnegie by the presentation of the mem
orial of embossed resolutions which he had
the pleasure of presenting. He referred to
the fact that all the work on the souvenir
was done by Pittsburg artists, and it snoke
for itself as a specimen of tbe city's skill.
The picture itself the Madonna and Child
was suggestive and appropriate to a
church dedicated to worship ot God. The
Mother and Child was expressive of the
divine mystery of the incarnation, and who
was there that would separate either? In all
future generations the picture would be ad
mired, some viewing its devotional aspect,
some its artistic, but all with gratitude and
affection for the donor.
Mr. Carnegie responded by returning his
thanks for tbe beautiful souvenir, which he
said was unexpected. He felt amply com
pensated by an autograph letter received
from tbe Bight Beverend Bishop, expres
sive of the thanks and appreciation of the
congregation of the gift. His thought of the
gilt occurred through visiting tbe cathedral
as a pallbearer for tbe late Colonel Barr. He
was struck by the entire absence of all
paintings exce'pt the solemn one of the cru
cifixion over the altar. While in Europe he
and his wife saw the celebrated original
picture, nnd she agreed with him in the spe
cial propriety of adding a life-size copy to
the Cathedral. Hence the gift. He indulged
in pleasant reminiscences of the late Bishop
O'Connor, and consequently Bishops Dom
enec and Tuigg.
After tbe formal presentation of the al
bum, the party adjourned to the dining
room, where Dr. Wall had spread a repast
for the guests. Bishop Phelan occupied the
head of the table. On bis ritrht sat Andrew
Carnegie and Bobert Pitcairn. To tbe
Bishop's left were John A. Leishmau and
George Lander, partners of Mr. Carnegie.
Toasts were responded to at the end of the
exercises by Bishop Phelan, Mr. Carnegie.
Dr. Wall, Commodore John Bodgers.Father
Hickey.A. F. Keating, John A. Leishman,
Bobert Pitcairn, George Lander and Charles
F. McKenus.
WHY SOLES WAS SELECTED.
Mr. Wannmnher and Congressman Bay
Thought It the Best Plan.
President Harrison yesterday sent to the
Senate the name of Edwin Soles, for consid
eration as postmaster of McKeesport. Mr.
Soles comes from Washington to McKees
port to-day, in order to forward his bond ot
f 80, 000. He will assume the duties of post
master not later than June 1, and probably
at an earlier date. His bond is ready, and
it is expected that bis commission will be
forthcoming.
In a letter written by Congressman Eay
alter the selection of Mr. Soles, it is stated
that Mr. Wanauiaker and Mr. Eay thought
it would be better to conciliate all parties
by selecting a good Republican who was not
in the recent postofnee fight. Hence the se
lection of Edwin Soles.
In Their Nevr Uniforms.
The W. R. Ford Drum Corps, of the
Fourteenth ward,serenaded The Dispatch

Lawrenceville Citizens Kicking Aboat a
Proposed Street Improvement.
Last evening Lawrenceville was flooded
with posters calling a meeting "to consider
the repairing ol Stanton avenne and check,
if possible, the unjust and selfish applica
tion of tbo $44,000 appropriated for the re
pair of said avenue." The meeting is an
nounced as "a gathering of Eighteenth
ward citizens," and is to be held in the Mc
Candless school building to-morrow even
ing. Tbe Conncilmen of the Fifteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth
wards are invited to be present.
The cause of the meeting is a conviction
among Eighteenth warders that the money
decreed iorthe improvement of Stanton ave
nue should not be spent on the Nineteenth
ward part of the street, as has been ar
ranged. Tbe objecting citizens believe that
the Eighteenth ward portion should have
some of the 544,000 spent upon its improve
ment. CUTTING HIS SHADE TBEES.

my chief end and aim.
In my journeyings I saw many beautiful
and wonderful instruments, but tne one
which interested me most of ail was a piano
called the "Opera Piauo," manufactured by
Peek & Son. I was (.aptivdted by the un
usual charm of its tone as the music rolled
out upon tiie air under the magic touch of
tne player.
It is needless to say that I effected a pur
chase with the greatest satisfaction possible
to myself and iriends, and I am now the
proud possessor of what I am convinced is
oue ofthe finest pianos in tbe world, which
with its teilian attachment will at all times

FOG FREE 81LYEE
General A. -J. Warner, of Marietta, O..
was in the city on business yesterday and
stopped at the Seventh Avenue Hotel.
General Warner for several terms served
the Fifteenth Congressional district at
Washington. He is au ardent Democrat,
and well known as an advocate of the free
coinage of silver. In 18S6 he was defeated
by General Grosvenor, ot Athens, and since
then has been devoting his attention to pro
fessional affairs.
General Warner is a tall, straight, broad
shouldered man, with a strong face and
gray hair and full beard, a man of striking
individuality and of clean-cut speech. His
county, Washington, has been placed in a
strongly Democratic district, and he is
talked of as a candidate again. He said
yesterday that he was not a candidate; that
his business engagements will not permit
him to take any longer an active interest in
political affairs. He continues to be a close
observer of party matters and the course of
legislative affairs. To a reporter for THE
DISPATCH he said yesterday:
THINKS 'TWILI. BECOME IAT.
"I think the McComas bill will be passed
by Congress, and in that event the Con
gressional elections in Ohio this fall will be
held in the old districts. I think there is
no question about the right ot Congress to
make or alter the rules lor the election of
members of Congress at any time. The
States can fix the rules for tbe election of
Legislators, but the right seems to be re
served to Congress to make regulations re
specting the time, place and manner of
electing members ct Congress. Should the
McComas bill pass, the elections will un
doubtedly be thrown back into the old dis
tricts. 1 think there is uo disagreement
among constitntional lawyers as to this
power of Congress. I say nothing of the
policy of such a measure, further than that
something should be done to stop this ever
lasting gerrymandering for partisan ends
solely.
"Beally, as a Democrat, I see no hurt to
come from this bill to the Democratic party.
This same Legislature would redistrict
under the new apportionment, and while it
would be compelled to make compact dis
tricts, as it ought to do anyway, it would
secure a fair representation to the Demo
crats for the ten years to come.
OF FAE MOKE IMPORTANCE.
"The question of most importance to the
country just now," continued General War
ner, "is the passage of the silver bill by
Congress. Tne Jones bill is a satisfactory
bill, and while not free coinage, would un
doubtedly lead to free coinage. The tariff
bill will not stop the all of prices, for, while
it is doubtless true that under free trade the
prices of most products would fall, still a
tariff will not raise or even maintain the
present level of prices. Prices depend on
money volume, and as long as tbere is a
shrinkage in money volume relatively to
population and wealth prices will continue
to fall. There is no way to prevent that but
to provide Jor adequate money supply to
meet tbe needs of a growing population,
ana mat must be done by restoring stiver.

An Ohio District Wltb Only Fonr Congress
mm In 64 Years.
Stephen A. Northwoy and William P.
Howland, of Jefferson, O., two of the most
prominent lawyers of the Western Keserve,
were in the city yesterday, taking deposi
tions in a case in which they are opposing
counsel. They stopped at the Seventh Ave
nue Hotel. In 1880 Messrs. Northway and
Howland were rival candidates lor the .Re
publican nomination for Congress to suc
ceed General Garfield. The contest, in
which there were four candidates, was long
and spirited, though always friendly. The
result was the nomination, at the Warren
convention, of Judge Ezra IS. Taylor, who
is now serving bis filth term.
Speacingof this contest, and of tbe dis
trict, Mr. Northway said: "Ours is, I think,
the most remarkable Congressional district
in tne united states, when a man is
elected by it he holds the office until re
moved either b death or advancement to a
higher place. Whittlesy, Giddings, Gar
field and Taylor bave represented the dis
trict in Congress for 64 yeais. There will
be no opposition to Judge Taylor's renomi
natinn for a sixth term.
"I hardly think tbe McComas bill will
pass Congress. Some of tbe leading Re
publican members from our State are
against it, notably Bntterworth and Ken
nedy. If it is not passed, Major McKinley
will have uo possible chance to overcome
the Democraticmajority in his new district
I suppose we will nominate him for Gov
ernor next year, if he is a candidate. The
Governorship is in tbe line to the Presi
dency, while the Senatorship is not."
Both gentlemen expressed interest in the
political contest now proceeding in Penn
sylvania, and had some pertinent remarks
to make on the the expenditure of money by
canuiuates in mis omce. "Why, up our
way," said Mr. Northway, "if a "candidate
would SDend monev in that way he would
be sure to lose bis standing in his party as
well as in bis Sunday school class. Our
lolks know no such wicked ways. Good
ness, peace and brotherly love brood over
the Western Eeserve. We have secured
luost all the rctorms attainable in this
world, and are calnilf waiting for the mil
lennium." ImpuritiEB in Hie Liver.
