But the sweet music of childish voices is always a very attractive feature of reception days. Some of the schools on the Sonthside are now being visited by city physicians, certain ones for certain districts, who vaccinate aU children not previously vaccinated. It is neces sary that all children should present such cer tificate, but many of the schools are very dere lict in this respect.

The First ward schools or Allegheny will lose one of their most accomplished and effi cient teachers In the person of 4Iiss Lottie M. Preston, who resigns for the purpose of going to Germany to complete her education Miss Preston has already won for herself laurels as a teacher and scholar. A few years ago she carried off tbe honors in one of our leading colleges, is a graduate of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, a member of tbe Executive Committee of the Pittsburg C. L. k 8. C. Central Circle and will graduato with the class of '0 in the Chautauqua Normal Union. As a teacher. 4Iiss Preston stands at the head of her profession. Provisional examinations for the school teachers of Pittsburg, under the supervision of Superintendent Luckey, commenced yester day morning at the Central High School. One hundred and fifty-eight applicant! presented themselves for the ordeal. 40 of them being members of the prospective graduating class of ine normal xiign scnooi. jms appears to be a large number, but each year it is growing les. Of this number only SO are regular city teachers, tbo greater number being applicants from the city and county who desire to teach, aud if statistics were taken not more than four will get a position in tbe city. The subjects yesterday were drawing, music and physiology. The only change noticed in the direction of the various subjects was In drawing, where the trend was very perceptible toward Industrial drawing. Next Saturday the subjects for examination will be grammar, al"ry. orthography and penmanship. But 3rMvher a11 mUsedup at the High School was the absence or a lunchroom. Other years tnejanitor occupied rooms in the building, i,"apPll01 lunch to ail desiring it, but his quarters are now being made into schoolrooms. The business situation last week was as much like that oi the previous six days as pea is like pea. It was active and healthy, with full production, good distribution and steady values, which is all that need be said of it, except, perhaps, to remark 'that the bank clearings were $3,525,000 in round nnmbers greater than for the same portion of time last year. Pittsburg is peculiar in one respect a great deal of important business never reaches the surface. If it all passed through the Clearing House, as Is the case in other cities, she would stand much higher in the financial world, permanently ranking Balti more, San Francisco and Cincinnati in the volume of bank exchanges. Local pnde should be sufficient inducement to make everything count. There are secrets in all activities. The bay ing and selling of real estate is a conspicuous ex ample. Dealings In bonds, stocks and petro leum are more or less open, but it of ten hap pens that when a man acquires or dispones of apiece of property he pledges himself and everybody else connected with the transaction to absolute secrecy. This is nearly always tbe case if the deal be a large one. Instances of this secretiveness are not wanting. Tho facts in regard to several important sales consum mated a year and more ago are still withheld. The watchword of the Equitable Insurance Company when it started out to buy up the Central Hotel block was secrecy. The syndicate operating in tbe Squirrel Hill district and other parts of the Twenty-third ward constantly keep their fingers on their lips lest some tale-telling word should escape them. Tho result of this is that it is impossible to gauge the magnitude of the real estate business of the city. About all that can be said is that there is a great deal going on. A little more publicity would help the market. Bmoklnc Them Ont. When General Sherman, in the Atlantio campaign, could not get at the enemy in front, he flanked him. In dealing with realty writers have frequent occasion to use similar tactics. The public wants the news, and if it cannot get it in allopathic it is willing to take it in homoeo pathic doses. A meeting will be held to-morrow to decide upon accepting au offer of about 14,060 a front foot for a piece of business prop erty on a prominent street. Those inteiested in the deal think it will go through. A dicker Is pending for a tract of over 100 acres on the line of one of tbe railroads. If sold it will be at once laid out in lots. Several hundred lots in a new plan on the Sonthside will soon be put on the marker. The deal involves over $75,000. Over 100 acres will soon be platted and two manufacturing plants erected in a neighboring town. These are merely pointers to show that those who think tbe real estate market flat on its back are mistaken. More might be given. The Inquiry for small properties is almost up to high water mark. Tho report yesterday of a deal in Fast End realty, Involving about $100,000 has a flavor of antiquity. It relates to tho Fossctt and Schmertz properties, fronting on Craft avenue, one of which was bought by a ell-known busi ness man and the other by the Duqnesne Trac tion Company. Tbe trade was made and re ported several months ago, but owing to a de fective description in the title it has not been closed up. The only other property on that avenue In that vicinity worth 1100,000 Is owned by Mr. Clark and it had not been sold up to yesterday evening. Flute Becoralnjr Popular. There has been considerable talk among cap italists and real estate brokers within the past few months in regard to flats or apartment houses, and tbe subject has grown familiar to newspaper readers, which means everybody. At first public sentiment was strongly against them, but, as discussion went on, converts were made, and now they are" decidedly popular and promise to become, at no distant day, an important feature of the city. So far the experiment of building flats and living in them has been on a small scale, but it has proved entirely satisfactory, and tbe de mand for them is far beyond tbe snpply. Those completed out Filth avenue are occupied from bottom to top, and of three or four in course of construction every floor has been engaged. This success has encouraged other capitalists to turn their attention to this style of building, and quite a number have been projected, sev eral of them of large size. In two or three cases ground has been purchased aud plans drawn up. There is no city in the country where flats are needed so badly as in Pittsburg. Business is pushing everything else to the wall, and is de manding more room. Space in the city proper is, therefore, a prime necessity, and this can be secured in no way so well as by building flats. for 53,700; he also sold to J. Elk a lot 25x100 feet, on Inwood street. Twenty-first ward, for 500. Black A BUrd sold for the Murtland heirs three lots on Grazier street, Homewood, having a total frontage of 105 feet and averaging in depth about 175 feet, for 3.775. Tbe purchaser was Sir. J. P. Bingamen. They also sold for J. Walter Hay lot No. 83, in Valley View place, to T. V. Fullington. Charles Somers ft Co. sold for Charles Somen, to Joseph Brown, lot No. 16, in Benton place, fronting 24 feet on Benton avenue and in depth 110 feet to an alley, for 1400. , Baxter, Thompson ft Co. placed a mortgage for $550, for two years at S per cent, on Brushton property. ALMOST PEATUEELES3. A Leader Badly Needed to Stir Up the Stock fllarket. Yesterday closed a dull and nneventf ul week in the market for local securities. Sales were only 235 shares, all contributed by Westing house Electric, which was fractionally stronger. The rest of the list showed very lit tle variation either way. It was in the rut Sales for the week were 2,874 shares, of which La Noria furnished 1,000. So much has been said about conditions and prospects as to render further comment un necessary at present. There has been no ma terial change In any of the companies repre sented on tbe stock board. It is safe to say, how ever, the standing of most of them is better to day than at any previous time, and the only reason for the prevailing dullness is lack of orders.

Talk about dull times, indeed. Fifty busi ness houses In Pittsburg are undergoing repairs and alterations to make more room. The storm of Friday evening did considerable damage in the upper part of Edgewood. Out houses were wrecked, windows smashed, trees uprooted and shrubbery destroyed. Many trees were stripped of their foliage by the hail. Messrs. Baker, Dickson and Rowan were the principal suffers. A deal that has been in progress for some time for 50 acres of theMcKelvy farm, between Edgewood and Swissvale, was reported yester day In a fair way to be closed up. If consum mated the property will be platted and put on the market. Eight years ago a gentleman prominently identified with an electric light company bought five acres in the East End from the National Bank of Commerce for G00 an acre. To-day tbe property is valued at $40,000. Btreet railways bnilt to order Is what it is coming to. According to well authenticated rumor a corporation for this purpose is being organized in this city. Stock brokers report office buslne;s about as dr.ll as on 'Change. Investors are holding off for cheap stuff, which they hope to get by starving the market to death. A block of property on Fourth avenue, above Smithfield street, that is worth a fortune, was, in 1823, sold for $700. Tbe work of laying ont the new town of Dawson, just above Coal Valley, will begin very soon, as plans are about completed.

Yoder. of a Tot 150 feet front each on Oakland avenue and Atwood street, and a depth of 200 feet, with a nine-room brick residence, for 122,000. The purchaser will sell 103 feet and occupy the rest.

This caused a lively covering of shorts, and in the last half hour of business prices advanced sharply, es pecially In a few of the leading shares which have been sold short to a largely of late. Tho opening was rather heavy under the sales of the professional element, but tbe regu lar list Immediately developed a firm tone, not withstanding tbe fact that there was great ex citement in Sugar Refineries and a sharp and material decline In Us price from 90K '' eTen ing to 87. The stock was very feverish through out, but participated in the later revival and recovered almost all of its early loss. Lead was Inclined .to follow, but its movements, as well as Its animation, were on a much smaller scale. Distillers' Trust, however, was a marked exception, being advanced on tbe reported ab sorption of opposition concerns and a promised increase in tbe rate of dividend. In the regu lar list the only stocks showing any important movement was a step which was steadily appre ciated even wbtn the rest of the list wero sag ging. A few specialties showed wide fluctua tions, but the rest of the list were traded In over a narrow range. The close was active aud strong at about the best prices of the day. Most stocks show slight gains for tbe day. but Distillers' Trnst is up 3 and St. Paul 1 while Sugar is down 2 uallroad bonds were qnlet and displayed a heavy tone throughout the session, with the result of leaving most of the list only slightly changed from last evening, while the few Im portant changes were about equally divided. The sales reacbed $651,000, tbe business being unusually evenly distributed. Among those which are higher are Richmond and West Point trust 6s, lj'at 60. The sales of bonds for the week aggregated $11,875,000. Government bondsbavo been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and featureless. Tbe -Poji says: The market was feverish and unsettled during the week, and the net result of all changes was to leave tbe majority of stocks from to 2 per cent lower than a week ago. The bank statement was more favorable than expected, and prices advanced In conse quence. The annonncement that the Atchison bad acquired San Francisco and full possession of the Atlantic and Pacific was reflected In higher prices for the San Franclco, while Atchison was only firm. The Coal stocks were lower, Reading, Lackawanna, and Delaware and Hudson having been down 1 to 2 per cent for tbo week. The Grangers and Southwest ern were only fractionally lower, but the mis cellaneous stocks generally were higher. Rail road earnings continue heavy, notwithstanding the war in rates among the Western roads, and there is reason to believe that the reports from tbe West are considerably exaggerated. The money market, while firm, has been well sup plied with funds and the general temper of speculation is strongly bullish.

A Good Bank Stntement 8ilr Up Basin The Whisky Trust. 8PICLVI, TO JOHN If. OABXIT ft CO.l New YoBr, May 21. The market opened this morning with an inclination to weakness Sugar Trust bad a rapid decline to 87c within the first 15 minutes. The general market, how ever, held dull and steady, tbe expectation be ing that tne bank statement was going to show a decline in reserves, but this was speedily dis sipated by tbe official statement showing an increase of $1,458,425 in the bank reserves, which had a very inspiring effect upon the entire list, closing them strong at better figures, with St. Paul in the lead at 79. Tne reaction to which we referred yesterday did not prove to be a very formidable one, and the market certainly has all the indications of preparing for a still further advance. Among the specialties to-day which attracted attention was the stock of Whisky Trust. It rose from 44J to 48, and, tbe advance in it was well sus tained. It is said it has absorbed tbe last and tbe largest outstanding distilleries, and iti dividends will be increased from ii per cent monthly to per cent next month, which will be followed by a further increase of per cent monthly. Should this rumor "nrove to be true the stock will soon attract general attontion among tbo specialties, and will likely record much higher figures. The Insiders ot the Richmond Terminal seem now to be unanimous In their sentiment that tbe proposed plan is the best that could be ad vanced in the interests of the stockholders, and their public statements are of the mo3t pro nounced and bullish character. Willi th6ir support, the possibilities of a still further ac quisition to this great line of railway by the possibility of a deal with the Baltimore and Ohio will give a further impetus to this stock in the near future.

The stock market to day was quiet but developed a strong tons in tbe regular list, with tbe result of closing the majority of stocks fractionally higher than last evening. The operations were more than unu sually large ot late for professional tccount, and operators were inclined to wait for the bank statement, which was expected to be a bad one, as tbe absorption of money by the Treasury was estimated at $1,700,000, while the net gain from the interior was believed to be $1,100,000- The Issue, of the 'bank statement, however, lower than yesterday. budwcu a, gam to tne surplus reserve of over lower, YJafct .US.1 J' - ' TalssBHBSiy.

Break I" Wheat, Which Bad Crop News Falls to Oonnteract Corn, Oats and Park Features, CHICAGO A good business was transacted in wheat to-day and trading was more general both on tbe buying and sell ing side. There was some buying at the start, but tbe most urgent orders wero soon filled, and with rather free offerings a weak feeling set in. Operators soon after the opening be came impressed with the idea that some one was selling wheat very freely and loading up the crowd, and this started a general desire to realize. It was thought that parties who were reported as being strong bulls the past few days had started to do some selling to-day, but whether this was for the purpose of breaking prices in order to get a better hold on the mar ket or for the purpose of unloading, it is diffi cult to say. At any rate the feeling was un settled. The opening sales Tor July were Jacumler the closing yesterday, held steady for awhile. and then declined to a point 2c below outside prices, fluctuated some and closed about ljjc lan yesterday. Mav closed abont zvfo August closed about Zg and Septem- of bad corn news was again received from various winter wheat sections, a good deal of a repetition of tho past few days. Corn There was a continuation of tbe weak feeling manifested during the greater part ot yesterday's session, and a still further decline .was recorded on ail futures. Trading was of moderate volume and mainly local. The mar ket opened at about the closing yesterday and under free offerings gradually sold K off, ruled steady and closed KKc lower than yesterday. Oats were fairly active, but weaker and lower, due to large receipts. A fair demand existed, but tbe Selling pressure 'was too strong especially ror Jfay, which receded 2c from yesterday's close and closed at about inside figures. The more deferred futures sympathized with May, and receded JiQllic. closing at about the bottom figures. There was very little doing In pork. Opening sales were at 15c advance, bnt prices receded 7ir10c, and the market closed quiet Only a moderate trade in lard with a steady feeling. Prices ruled about 2Vc higher, closing steady.

"I am an ironworker by trade and work at the large rolls, handling the heavy Iron as it comes from the furnace one of the hottest places in the mill." The speaker was Mr. Ottman Anberle, who lives in Versailles township, east end, two miles east of McKeesport. He is em ployed in the Bemmler Iron Mills at Demmler Station. "I would become very warm," he contia ued, "and between the heats would step ont into the air to cool off. I caught cold alter cold, but paid no attention to them. "My nostrils would clog up and I began to have headaches continually. It was not a sharp pain at first, bnt jnst a dull, heavy feeling over my eyes. I seemed to have a cold all the time, and was steadily becoming worse. My throat became raw and was all choked up. A dry, hacking cough set In. There would be dropping back of matter into my throat, and I was all the time hawking and raising to clear it. I had roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. My eyes became dim and watery. "Sharp pains, stabbing like a knife, would shoot through both sides of my chest. They were so severe at times as to almost take my breath away. Always there was a feeling there as ii a heavy load was resting npon my chest crushing the breath ont of rue. I breathed with great difficulty and each breath would be accompanied by a whistling sound. Some times when I would work two or three pieces of iron.I would have to sit down to breathe and allow my brother to take my place at the rolls.
