&,'" 3 1? THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SUNDAY, JUNE -15, 1890. 7 - W FOR SECOND PUCE, A Feeling in Philadelphia That Major Montooth Should Accept It. THE DELAMATER FIGURES. His Friends Seem to be Very Confi dent of Easj Victory. PATTISON GETTIKG DELEGATES. Dauphin County Breaks tbe Monotony Goinr for Wallace. J RESULTS Iff WESTERN PENNSILYAKIA Notwithstanding Major Montooth's posi tive announcement that he would not accept the nomination fur Lieutenant Governor, there is a general feeling among the Phila delphia delegates in his favor should the first place go elsewhere. Delamater's friends claim that the adhesion of many of the in dependents has rendered his success certain. The Democratic situation is still decidedly complicated. nrrciAx. teleoeah to toe dirpatcs.i Philadelphia, June 14. "Senator Delamater will be nominated for Governor beyond any question of doubt," said a close friend of Senator Quay's to-day. "What ever feeling may have existed regarding his availability has been swept aside by the strong indorsement presented in his behalf from this city, where it was thought General Hastings had the call in business circles. " "The formation of the Business Men's Committee of One Hundred in favor of Gen eral Hastings' nomination," continued the speaker, "was a boom for Center county's candidate and somewhat of a setback to the Delamater forces, but for so lie cause or other the committee did but little work in Hastings' interest, and now, before the con vention has yet been held, we find that the Hastings headquarters have been closed up." SENATOR QUAY'S POSITION. "Senator Quay," continued the speaker, "is a Republican who is for his party first, and if he had but the slightest doubt of Delamater's election, in spite of the warm friendship existing between them, he wonld turn in and help to defeat him for the nomination. Garrett ana Mc Kee, the independent leaders have done good work for the Republican cause by making it known that Senator Delamater's nomination is asked for by the independent Republicans of this city, who are more nu merous here than elsewhere. They have virtually settled all doubt as to the outcome of the State Convention." E. K. Martin, of Lancaster, Senator Watres, of Lackawanna, and J. A. M. Pass more, of this cily, are the three declared candidates for second place on the State ticket, bnt as no formal action in Passmore's behalt has been taken by the local dele gation, he is not considered as seriously in the race, although some of the outside counties have instructed their delegates in his favor. Martin and Watres are both friends of Quay and Delamater, -and the nomination of either would be acceptable to the stalwart element of the party particu larly. A FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE. Martin has a first-class war record, which makes his candidacy formidable, while "Watres is counted as much stronger than his party in the northwestern section of tbe State from which he hails. "What both have to fear most in the talk which has de veloped within the past few days in favor of the nomination for Lieutenant" Governor of Major Montooth, of Allegheny county. It is announced here that Montooth is willing to take second place and as 15 of the 16 delegates from his county are Quay men it can be readily seen that the Montooth movement is a very strong one. Besides, it is argued that with an Alleghenv man on the State ticket there would be but little to fear from any opposiug forces in the way of a Republican majority from that countv. There will be abitter contestat th'e Demo cratic State Convention for supremacy. Already has there been some sharp and bitter feeling expressed by the leaders of the opDosing forces. Claims and counter claims are being made with such rapidity that the average Democrat becomes more" confused regarding the final outcome as the day (or the holding of the State Convention draws nearer. GATHERING IN THE DELEGATES. "William L. Scott, who is the real head of the Pattison movement, has been keeping very quiet lately, but under bis instructions his lieutenants throughout the State are gathering in the delegates wherever possi ble. The story has been started that ex Senator Wallace is opposed to Cleveland lor renomination in 1892, and the anti-Wallace forces are using it for all it is worth in spite of the denials of Wallace's friends. The "Wallace forces are apparently very confi dent, and laugh at the published figures of the opposition. The Wallace people admit that if the Philadelphia delegation were a unit in favor of Mr. Pattison that it would be a somewhat difficult matter to de eat his nom ination, although Congressman Mutchler, who is a staunch Wallace man, declares that the sentiment of the stalwart Democ racy of the State alone would suffice to de feat the nomination of the ex-Governor. The leaders of the Pattison forces in" this city insist that Wallace will get but 14 del egates from Philadelphia county, while on the other hand Patterson, McGowan Josephs and Faunce, three of whom are del egates ana wno are Dattiing lor Wallace's nomination, declare th-it tbe chances favor Wallace having a majority of the delegates from this city. From the conflicting claims made it is evident that somebody is going to be badly fooled. ONE COUNTY FOR WALLACE. Tbe Machine la Dnupbia Secures Him Solid Delegation. rSrECIAI. TELECRAX TO THE D IS PATCH. 1 Harrisbubg, June 14. The Wallace people had eery thinj their own way this afternoon and evening in the election of delegates to the State Convention, the sup porters of Pattison not being in a position to make a successful fight for their favorite. The leaders of the Democratic partv, in cluding Chairman Hamilton, Mayor Fritch ey and B. P. Meyers, are all Wallace men, and no material opposition was encountered in the scheme to send a solid delegation to the State Convention in his interest. Post master Meyers and Mavor Fritchey have heretolore lought each other in primarv contests, but in the present one they stood side by side. The delegates to the State convention, who are elected by aircct vote, are: Dr. Charles B Fager. Irwin J. Crane and James W. Roberts, of this city, and G W D Enders, J. F. Klugh and H. Wells Buser the latter late postmaster at Hummels town. Nine candidates for County Commissioner were also voted for according to the Crawford county ijstem, Recently established Democratic rules provide that only one candidate shall be placed in the ticket, owinc to the bad blood the running of two candidates engen dered. As the several candidates are scat tered all over the upper end of the county, it is not known to-night who was successful. The sime is true of the three candidates lor Auditor. Samuel F.

Will Slake Up Their Minds When They Get to Scranlon Not Mncta of Contest or the Primaries. rsrXCIAL TELIOBAM TO TBS DISPATCH.! Lancaster, June 14. The Democrats of this Republican county have been mod estly waiting for the drift of sentiment in other parts of the State, and the resnlt of the Republican convention to indicate more clearly what gubernatorial nomination is fittest to be made. Neither of the leading candidates, Pattison or Wallace, is particularly strong, and each has sharp antagonism here. Some weeks ago it looked as if there would be a sharp contest over their napes and a break up of the old factional lines here, as Chairman Malone, H. M. North and others were known to be for Wallace, while Haves, Gricr, General Patton and others were friendly to Pattison. When the three Democratic newspapers of the county commended Hensel as a gub ernatorial candidate nearly every element in the partv fell heartily in with the sug gestion. Those who had been distinctly known as Wallace men and suspected of antagonism to Hensel proffered him their support, and suggested that if possible a compromise be effected by which nine delegates might be chosen who would all been lriendly to Hensel and who were about evenly divided in their indi vidual preferences between Wallace, PaUi son and the field. This was gen erally acquiesced in, and untiJ dav it was not expected there would be anv contest over State delegates in any part of 'the countv. This morning, however, it develorjed that in several wards of the city there would be sharp contests, chieny lor ward supremacy. The delegation from the county, as a whole, will litely vote for Hensel as longas he is before the convention and otherwise will divide, as. there is a fair division of sentiment among their con stituents, the drilt of feeling in the city being for Wallace, and in the county fori Pattison, while a great many conservative Democrats in the county feel that the selection of a new name would be to the interest of the party. Hensel to-night declined to ex press any opinion as the outcome of the State Convention, saying he under stood an uncommitted and uninstructed delegation of representative Democrats from the county would be agreed upon,who could best determine when they reached Scranton as to what the interests ot their constituents required them to do.

Welty, who was supposed to be a leading candidate, con cedes about 44 delegates in the county to Monnott and expects about 20 himself, estimating that ex-Liextenaut Governor Warwick, of Massillon, will have 25 and Senator Lewis, of Alliance, about 10. The Sixteenth district is the one prepared to de feat MaKinley by recent Democratic gerrymander. Of 19C delegates in the district Stark has 91, Holmes 34, Medina 22, and Wayne 49. Judge Stillwell, of Millersburg, is sup posed to have Holmes solid, and Senator Zimmerman is conceded Wayne, with part of Medina, and 99 delegates will nominate. Stark, with eight scattering votes irom other counties, can nominate, and the effort will probably be to combine on W. A.

Elections were held in this county this evening to elect delegates to Tuesday's Bepuhlican conven tion to elect five delegates to the coming State Convention. There was not a single contest in any of the ten wards of this borough, and but a few in any district in the county. Very little interest was manifested in the elections. The five State delegates to be elected on Tuesday, it is conceded, will be for General Hastings. -Not that Delamater has no friends here or Quay no lieutenants, but that these are keeping quiet, knowing that the popular feeling of the party is for General Hastings, and desiring notto disrupt the party here. The utmost Delamaterites are doing is to elect avowed Hastings men, but who, in a pinch, would vote for the Crawford county Senator. For Lieutenant Governor senti ment favors J. A. M. Pasniore, and for Secretary of Internal Affairs, of course Thomas J. Stewart, ot this borough. Tues day's convention promises to be a peaceful affair, unless the Quay people should spring a surprise on the confident and trustful Hastings hustlers.

The announce ment that -ex-County Solicitor Fred Ott would contest for the nomination for Con gress in this district has given Congress man Rife, who wants a renomina tion, considerable annoyance. He says he hardly thinks that Mr. Ott will be disposed to continue in the field, and thereby countenance one term rule In the district. It has been customary, he says, to concede two terms to a Republican and as many more as ne can secure. He claims to have been in consultation re cently with Senator Cameron and other party leaders in this district, and that the talk is said to have inspired him with confi dence that he will be bis own successor. Congressman Rife proposes to makp a pre limjnary canvass of Harrisburg and other political centers in his district next week. GUFFY A LITTLE AHEAD.

The Democratic County Committee met here this afternoon. It was about evenly divided between the Boyle and Searight factions, neither being able to control it, and the delegates elected were about evenly divided between them. There were fourteen candidates for the State delegates, and of the six elected the Sea right men were Colonel T. B. Searight, Colonel A. J. Hill' and Alfred Emerson. The Boyle men are J. J. McFarland, A. G. C. Sherbondy and John Boyle. Before tbe convention was organized it was known that four-fifths of the committee men were pronounced Pattison men, and the State delegates were instructed by an unanimous vote to support Pattison for Gov ernor. D. W. McDonald, a young attor ney, who belongs to neither faction, was made Chairman of the committee. Another dispatch says that Searight rather seems to lead the delegation. MONTOOTH DT FAYETTE.

Owing to the great length of the ticket, there being 78 candidates, the returns from to-day's pri maries are late coming in. About one-third of the county is heard irom, and out of the 25 delegates in these precincts to the county convention they are all Montooth and Hastings men, the Delamater men not getting a single dele gate. In these districts the Congressional delegates are all for Colonel Andrew Stewart, the Bailey men not getting any of their slate elected. The indications at midnight point to a sweeping Ewing victory, and they will con trol Monday's convention and elect Mon tooth delegates to tbe State Convention, and the Congressional delegates will be in structed lor Colonel Stewart.

The semi-oflicial an nouncement in the North German Gazette that Chancellor Von Caprivi will accompany Emperor William on his visit to the Czar converts the meeting of the sovereigns from an exchange of imperial courtesies into a diplomatic event. Herr Von Schweiuitz, the German Ambassador to Russia, arrives here from St. Petersburg to-morrow in con nection with the interview, which has been fixed for the 2d of Angust. Emperor William, escorted by a squad ron, sails from Kiel to Cronstadt, and will remain with the Czar three days. Prior to the visit Signor Crispi, the Italian Premier, is expected here for a conference with Gen. Von Caprivi. He will see Count Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungariau Premier, en route to Berlin. These movements have a distinct relation to a renewal of the negotiations for a settlement of the Bulgarian question. This time the negotiations were initiated at St. Petersburg. NOT RECOGNIZED. The Russian Government persists in re fusing to recognize Prince Ferdinand, but offers to recognize M. Stambouloff, the Bul garian Premier. The Government, after the departure of Prince Ferdinand, irill send a Russian commissioner to Sofia to offer the people as alternative candidates for the throne the Duke of Leuchtenberg or Prince Karl, son of the King of Sweden. The Duke of Leuchtenberg. having married a Mon tenegrin Princeos, has less chance of accept ance by the European Powers. Prince Karl is sure of tbe English Government's support. After the election of a Prince the Stam bouloff Ministry will be dissolved and re placed by a Stambouloff-Zankoff coalition. M. Stambouloff is ready to sacrifice Prince Ferdinand if his own position be assured as a result of the arrangement. The leading diplomats at Constantinople have been re called. Herr Von Radnwitz, the German Ambassador; M. Nelidoff, Russia's repre sentative, and Sir W. A. White, the British diplomat, are to be replaced by Ministers who will work together on a more friendly footing. WAITED ON BISMARCK. Whatever may be the issues of the meet ing at St. Petersburg they will not involve a change of relations in the dreibund. Signor Crispi goes to Friedrichsruhe after seeing Chancellor Von Caprivi. A deputa tion of Conservatives from the Fourth dis trict orPotsdam,whichisnow unrepresented in the Reichstag on account of the death of Herr Wedell Malchow, went to Friedrichs ruhe yesterday to ask Prince Bismarck to accept the candidature. He promised to give the proposal his fa vorable consideration, and this is taken to mean that he will stand. Tbe members of the Reichstag alrendr foresee that the Prince's presence will produce the grouping of a new party under his lead, composed bf Conservatives, old National Liberals and a small section of the moderate Freisinnige party. This group will prominently repre? sent the smaller land owners, manufacturers and bankers, who are opponents of the pro Socialist policy, and is certain to secure the support of a number of Centrists, thus form ing a strong combination. REPORTS LAUGnED AT. Herr Krupp has been the guest of Prinee BismarcK since Wednesday. The hostile reports to' the effect that tbe Emperor is be coming more and more enraged over the revelations made by Prince Bismarck in interviews, and that he intends to muzzle the ex-Chancellor are laughed over in the Prince's circle. Another idea is dawning upon tbe unfriendly critics that is, whether the statements made to special correspond ent!, were not arranged with the previous knowledge and concurrence of Chancellor Von Caprivi. Prince Bismarck's studiously instndied confidences have already assisted the foreign office to a clearer view of the tendencies of foreign opinion, and has also helped to har monize janrivrs relations with several foreign ministers. It is now perceived that his seeming frankness reveals little, and cannotrjembarrass the Government. Im pending changes in the minor States include the retirement of Baron Von Miltnacht, Premier of Wurtemberg; Count Von Fabrice, Premier of Saxony, and Dr. Tur ban, Premier of Baden. When Bismarck retired these were bound to follow. ENTERTAINING AMERICANS.

AN ENGLISH PASTIME ENJOYED BY PITTS BURG YOUTHS. Some College Boys Indulge la tbe Sport In be Streets of East Liberty and Saody slde A Long Lino of Apparitions In White Flannel. A few college boys of ultra-English pro clivities succeeded in enlivening Shadyside and East Liberty during the "wee sma hours" of yesterday. For some time past these youths had been yearning to practice the old English game of "paper chase," and, fearful of being laughed at if thev raced through the streets, by "daylight, they finally; concluded to try the sport when pale Luna shed her beams. Paper-chasing, as many are aware,, is a verv simple and withal athletic sport. Two boys, called "hares," set forth from the trysting place, running at a good pace, and carrying large bags filled witl scraps of paper. These they scatter in their wake, as "scent" to the other players, who are the "hounds," or pursuers. After a few min utes' law, the "hounds" start in pursuit, and a real good time is had belore the hares are run down, or escape to the "home" in safety. Paper chasing is glorious fun over a stiff country with lots of hedges and ditches, but these were too dangerous for a first attempt, so the Shadyside college boys were content to do their chasing through the public thoroughfares. Accordingly, at 12:30 A. M. yesterday they assembled at the corner of Forbes and Wightman streets, a party of chasers lightly attired in flannels, and sprinting shoes. Tbe word was given and the "hares" started off, scattering their paper right and left after the manner ot gay young gamblers making their first incur sion into the treacherous land of money lending. Alter ten minutes the "hounds" pursued, lollowing the scent along Wightman into Wilkins avenue, and thence to Fifth avenue. The next turn was into Amberson avenue, when the charg ing "hounds" were unexpectedly stopped by a policeman. When this representative ol the finest learned that no evil had been perpetrated by the boys, and that there had been no obstruction of traffic, he allowed them to pursue their course, they flitted by, like a long train of ghosts in their white flannels, the leader wind ing his horn whenever the "scent" turned in a new direction. A few early wagoners and late pedestri ans were no doubt startled by the line of seeming apparitions, and one or two in toxicated revelers may have imagined that the delirium had returned again, but be yond these no real harm was done. After chasing up Ellsworth avenue, and then through a network of streets, the "hares" were finally captured on the Penn avenue railroad bridge after a gallant chase. Yesterday forenoon the business menof the streets through which the hunt had passed were surprised to find the sidewalks strewn with pieces of paper. Among others, Mr. S. S. Marvin noticed the peculiarity. The police were informed, and they explained the apparently extraordinary circumstance. The boys are delighted with their chase, and wilt continue their paper-chases through the East End. OH, TJS BUCKS COUNTY. Tbe Indications Sufficient to Induce a Terr Tboroosh Test. ISriCIAL TELEOEAM TO TUB DISPATCH.l Milford, N. J., June 14. The Nock amixon swamps, lying about six miles west of this place, in Bucks oounty, Pa., have heretofore been considered worthless except for grazing purposes, aud have at various times been offered for sale at $3 to $5 per acre and failed to find purchasers. For many years it was thought that oil existed there. Not long since John H. Stern, who owns a large tract of land in that vicinity, secured the ser vices of E. C. Bosenzi, an oil prospector of Philadelphia, formerly of Pittsburg, to make an examination. He found unmis takable indications of oil, and especially at tbe southeast base of Caufman's Hill and at various other places near that point, where it oozes out and flows away with the water. Mr. Bosenzi spent four days among the scenes of the proposed new oil field, and met with good success in the matter of ob taining leases on a number of farms and other properties. Upwards of 1,000 acres were secured. He said there was sufficient surface indication to warrant the erection of a derrick and tbe setting in motion of a drill to tap tbe subterranean reservoir of oil, which it is confidently believed ex ists at no great depth. Besides the geologi cal formation of the earth in that locality it is naturally adapted for oil. There is a strong likelihood that besides oil either coal or natural gas will be found on tbe way. The latter seems very probable, as it is well known that natural gas is always found where coal or petroleum exists. Sbot n Policeman. This morning Police Officer P. F.

Situated in Chester county, about three miles from Kennett Square, is a beautiful stretch of timber land known as Longwood. Under the shade of this pleasant grove this afternoon the thirty-eighth Longwood year ly meeting of Progressive Friends was brought to a close. The lovely weather and the excellent condition of the roads bronght a great many visitors. All around the grounds there were teams of every descrip tion. During the morning session addresses were delivered by Miss Elizabeth "V. Yates, of Maine; H. B. BlackwelL editor of the Women's Journal, of Boston, and the Bev. Hugh O. Peuteeost The afternoon meeting was called to order by Frederic A. Hinck ley, of Northampton, Mass., the Chief Clerk of the meeting. A resolution memori alizing Congress to grant a pension to Annie E.Carroll for her services during tbe late war was adopted, and three memorials were adopted in memory of Oliver Johnson, Re becca Way Taylor and Dinah Mendenhall. THE ORATOR OF THE DAY. In a short speech Mr. Hinckley then in troduced the speaker of the day, General Master Workman T. V. Powderly, of tbe Knights of Labor, who, among other things, said: During my brief career I have spoken before many gatherings, bnt this Is certainly one of the highest in character ot those to whom I have spoken, and right now let me say some thing abont the order which I represent. The Knights of Labor as an order has striven to do that which no other organization ever thought of doing prior to onr formation, and that is tbe bringing of tbe toilers together. Onr highest object Is to make all men equal. Onr order seeks to benefit humanity. We know no creed, no color and no nationality. AVe stand on the high plane of desiring to assist one and all, as you can see by tbe following preamble: Mr. Powderly then read the preamble to the constitution of the Knights of Labor and continued: We admit both sexes to our order and we aim at securing for both sexes equal pay for equal work. The statement that the woman is not the eqnal of tbe man will bold good no longer. A few years ago, when along tbe country roads tbe shoemakers and the tailors bad their shops and did the work for the community the woman indeed was handicapped. But all has changed. Capitalists organized and massed their fortunes together. They erected in the cities large buildings eight and nine stories high, and each floor has been stocked with machinery and these roadside tailors and shoe makers were called to the towns. AN IMPORTANT PACT- These men working side by side In the fac tories knew practically nothing of their own condition until they realized that their enemy was the machine, and their salaries were being reduced. Then they organized, but in doing this they overlooked one important fact the admission of women to membership. Finally tbe machine has gradually had Its effect. Work tnat formerly required the strength of a man can now be accomplished by tbe most delicate of women In as short a time, and while she is producing as much js tho man she is underpaid. When you purchase a pair of snoes you oi course never know that of two pairs which yon pay the same price for one Is made by a woman at a smaller rate of compen sation. . Because of our stand on this matter the Knights of Labor have been condemned by some, but we believe that we are right. A woman does as much work as a man, and she does It as well. Why should she not be paid equally for it. We have taken this stand since 18S9. when a committee reported favorably to our convention a resolution providing for a constitution for tbe government of women. I ruled the report out of order, and since that time tbey have been in our organization on an ea.ual standing with tbe men. In regard to the eight-hoar question, I wonld say that tbe Knigbta ot Labor hare always advocated the shortening of hours, but while the men are howling for a bhort hour, their poor wires are working at home from sunrise until late at night. ' CAUSE OP THE TROUBLE. It is this inequality that causes all of the trouble. The time will come when a woman will be able to direct machinery which will per form labor which now requires a strong, mus cular man. When this time arrives the men will be even more glad to combine with the women for their own protection in the matter of wages. Now then, friends, we believe It to be true also that if a woman is to have the same rate of compensation as the men. it Is right that she should be able to deposit her vote side by sido with the "lord of creation" to decide the questions nf national importance to both of them, which will come,'up for their con sideration. Now there is no doubt bnt what the hours of labor should be reduced. Franklin said that during his time four houi's work a day wonld amply supply the world's demand. If that was so then, it is even more applicable to-day, in this age of machinery. But we are not in favor of strikes. We think they are suicidal. I will say that I have never known of a strike which has been won by the men where the evil consequences have not overbalanced the benefits. They always cause a disagree ment between the employer and employed, and if the employer does surrender he will cer tainly have a chance of revenge upon the men. Mr. Powderly closed "with a plea for bal lot reform and for temperance. TTTK SCALE IS ATJOrTED. Committee Reports Come Next la the Amalgamated Association. The Amalgamated scale was adopted as a whole yesterday and ordered to be printed for presentation to the manufacturers. The rongbers and catchers lost their fight for an advance, although they made a healthy struggle for it and showed considerable strength in the discussion of the question. Monday the reports of committees will be taken up. The Ways and Means Com mittee will be the first heard from. The convention will not adjourn for a week or more yet. The election of officers will be left until the last day. Clearing; OtC We are clearing off every dollar's worth of summer weight clothing. Nothing is re served.

Johnstown, June 14. The term of the present postmaster. Mr. H. Banmer, who has held it ever since the Cleveland admin istration, will expire in a few weeks, and. there is a lively scramble now by the Ee- publicans for the place. H. W. Storey, Esq., has heen the choice of the politicians, and his application has been indorsed by nearly all of the leaders. Mr. J. Karl Ogle, who has been tbe head clerk in the office for tbe past ten years, during both the Dem ocratic and Republican administrations, has lately announced himself as an applicant for the place, and his friends are doing some effective work for him. He has been in dorsed by nearly every business man in the place, and many who had formerly declared tor Storey now declare for Ogle, and the situation is becoming interesting. Storey is supported by the political bosses on account of his manipulation of the Delamater business. It is supposed that Quay will stand by him; but as Storev is a lawyer who could not give up bis tfme to the business, the friends of Ogle believe they have tbe advantage in the well-known fitness of their man, and are pressing theif case with great earnestness.

M.O UlMif Hot Weather Luxury. The greatest possible luxury a human being can enjoy is a Turkish or Bnssian bath on a hot day. One enters feeling weary, despondent and enervated bv the long continued heat, and at the end "of an hour or two of solid enjoyment in the differ ent processes of the bath, emerges refreshed and invigorated in body and mind, and with the feeling'thatthe mercury must have suddenly and rapidly fallen. Among the many advantages which the bath at the Natatorium on Duquesne way possess and that contribute to this result, is the abund ant supply of pure, cold water that supplies the sprays, showers, douches, needle and plunge baths. The cleansing, cooling, refreshing and beneficial effects of these baths are tar su- Serior to those of sea-bathing. Sea water atbs do not cleanse even tbe surface of the body, to say nothing of the millions of pores of the skin, that require purification more than the surface oi the skin itself, but leaves it feeling sticky and dirty and the pores more choked than before. The most eminent,physicians, both in this country and Europe, are unanimous in the opinion that the Turkish bath is one of the greatest of tonics and invigorators (or hot weather, and as a luxury it is unsurpassed. The many hundreds of Turkish bath patrons who have already patronized the establish ment, on Duquesne way, have expressed their delight at the model way it is con ducted and of the courtesy shown by the attendants. The baths open daily from 7 A. M. to 9 P. M. Sundays, from 7 a.m. to 12 noon. Tuesdays from 8 A. M. to 2 P. ai. and Fridays from 8 A. M. to 6 p. M. for ladies and children only. Clearing; 00.
