grcate-t secret societv demonstrations ever

on established military principles and governed
by rigid military discipline and the most ap

monster military paeeant. The estimated ex
pense lor camping accommodations and enter
tainment bas been placed at 35.000. Of this
sum tfl.500 ill be distributed in prizes among
the competing divisions of the Uniform
rank. The struggle for these prizes will be an
exciting feature of the occasion. Eight prizes
are offered for proficiency in drill: one for the
best Division Commander; one for the division
traveling the longest distance from its borne,
by the shortest railroad route to Milwaukee;
one for the best exemplification of the ritual
istic work of the Uniform rank; one for a
battalion drill composed ot four or more divi
sions, and three band prizes are offered that
will be sure to attract considerable attention in
musical circles.
Many of the crack divisions through the
country have already entered for the first prize
of $1,0011. among them being Hastings division,
Michigan, wliicb carried off the first prize at
Cincinnati: Terre Haute division, Indiana: Am
sterdam division, Hew York; Oak division,
Cleveland. O.; Chicago and Ft. Dearborn di
vision, Chicago. III. For the other prizes
there will be numerous entries and abundant
opportunities for exciting contests.
Very liberal arrangements have also been
made for pnblic decorations, and the enter
tainment of visitors in public nails, and in
tight-seeing. A line display ot fireworks, un
der the direction of the celebrated Payne, of
London, Hill be one of the attractive evening
features of the encampment.
Snpreme Chancellor Ward, accompanied by
the officers of the Supremo Lodge, State Rep
resentatives, and most, if not all, divisions ot
the Uniform rank, will reach Milwaukee Mon

headquarters. At 10 A. jr. the following morn
ing the Supreme Lodge will be opened in full
ritualistic form in Castle Hall. Mayor George
W. Peck will deliver an address of welcome, to
which responses will be made by the Supreme
Chancellor and others. These addresses and
the preliminary business of the session
will occupy the forenoon of that day. In the
afternoon at 4 o'clock the Pythian hosts, in
lull uniform, will assemble for general parade.
This will be the great public event of the
meeting. There will be about 10,000 men In
line. About 100 bands, of various sizes and de
grees of accord, n ill furnish music, and about
600 officers, uiounted,will represent the strength
of the cavalcade.
r Dnnng the following days of the encamp
ment, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, there will be
prize and exhibition drills, dress parades, in
spection and review and other exercises and
recreatious incident to camp life. The busi
ness of the Supreme Lodge, which will occupy
eight or ten da) a. mil be of unusual import
ance. An effort will be made to amend the or
ganization oi the Uniform rank, and the rela
tions of the Endowment rank to the order will
no doubt occupy the attention of the buprenie
Lodge for fcoine time.

Speculative Interests Floundering In the
' Slough of Despond. -
THE NEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE CITY
Business in real estate is holding up
beyond precedent like the Norse-leech's
'daughter, buyers are continually crying
for more. Summer sales so far are the
largest on record, and are at least 60 per
cent better than those for the same time a
year ago. Values are steady, t A few
owners of choice properties are holding out
for an advance, but the majority are satisfied
with present figures.
The movement last week, while it pre
sented no sensational features, was admira
ble in volume and spirit. There was a brlsl:
demand for small properties in all the out
lying districts, and not a few were disposed
of. Kor were large interests neglected.
Transactions in acreage for sub-division
approximated half a million dollars, showing
that moneyed, men are alive to the importance
of keeping in the front line in the march of im
provement. It is a gratifying fact that but few of the
buyers are professional speculators. They are
bankers, manufacturers, merchants and arti
sans, who have faith In the future of the city
and are willing to risk their money in land,
which is the basis of all prosperity. This gives
tone and character to the marker, lifts it above
mere merchandise, and furnishes a guarantee
against a reaction, or even a halt.
Proof of the Padding.
An Important deal in suburban realty, about
which rumors have been in circulation for
several days, was practically closed by Anderson
t Blackmore yesterday afternoon. It com
prises about 40 acres on the Panhandle road,
near Crafton. and was purchased by a syndi
cate of well-known business men, at the bead
of which are two bankers and a newspaper
proprietor. The price approximates 2.000 an
acre. The tract will be cut up into large build
ing sites and put on the market arjout August
L The West End Street Railway, which will
soon adopt electricity as the motor, will be ex
tended to a point beyond this property.

feet.
Dnrlng the week Reed B. Coyle & Co. sold 14
lots in the Watson Place plan, Perrysville ave

Frankstown avenue came to the front during
the week with three good transactions. One
of these was the sale of the Upstlll property,
near Penn avenue, consisting of a lot and im
provements for 15,000. James Leach was the
purchaser. The second deal was that ot a lot
25 feet front, on Frankstown avenue, a square
or two from Penn, with a good dwelling. It
was bought by Mr. Alexander Wolf for 10,700.
The third was consummated by Samael W.

corner of Frankstown avenue and Station
street, with a two-story building and store
rooms, for $14,000. The purchaser was M. Bern

Since the talk of some of the life insurance
companies about building in Pittsburg, a good
deal of attention has been given to the enor
mous patronage for life insurance in this city
and through Western Pennsylvania. Said a
leading business man on the Bubject yesterday:
"It would be no more than consulting their own
interests if some of the big companies looked
over their books, calculated their returns from
Pittsbnrg, and decided to show their apprecia
tion, as well as their confidence in the place, by
putting up buildings here as they havo done
elsewhere In places of less relative importance.
They have to Invest their assets anyhow. Pitts
burg, which contributes so much to these
assets, conld Irot but be gratified to see some
handsome architectural evidence of them in
our midst. The local financial institutions of
the city, such as the Bank of Commerce, the
German National Bankwthe First National, the
Fidelity Trust Company, the Masonic Bank,
the Keystone and many others find such build
ings pay. The life insurance interest, which
are reputed to be so enterprising should not lag
behind.

HOME SEUUiUTiEb'.
Tho Week Closes With Many Figures and
One Little Transaction.
The last stock call of the week was produtive
of a formidable array of figures, covering
nearly everythlg on the list, but there was
nothing In the way of business at the other end
of the line, the only sale being 10 sbares of
Electric at 8 at a slight improvement. It
seems entirely safe to bid the market down, as
those in this habit know that they are about as
liable to be struck by lightning aB they are to
get what tey pretend to want There are few
weak holders. .
In regard to price changes, they are too small
to possess much significance, and are more ap
parent than real. Gains and losses during the
week were confined to fractions, with the
former in the majority. The closing, as com
pared with that of the previous week, showed
a decline of Ji in Philadelphia Gas and in
Central Traction. Citizens was i better and
Pleasant Valley unchanged. Luster improved
. Yankee Girl mining stock was strength
ened by a report that the miue will soon pass
Into the hands of an English syndicate.
As Interest in the purely speculative stocks
subsides, investment shares find more favor.
There were bidders yesterday for nearly all tne
banks, the majority of which showed steady
appreciation, and there was an active outside
inquiry for bonds. This shows that money is
easy, and that Investors want to put their
share of it where it will do the most good not
forgetting real estate.

THE WEKK VS OIL.
A Loss of Nenrly Three Cents The Stnndnrd
Still at Work.
The oil market was dull and weak yesterday.
It opened at 86c, at which price 1,000 barrels
were dumped. It then went down to 85c.
Oil City sent a few orders here to buy on the
break, but the longs had grit enough to resist
the temptation. A rally to 86c ensued, where
the market held steady for a short time, and
then moved up to 86c, which was tho closing
figure.
The peculiar condition of the market is gen
erally attributed to manipulation by the Stand
ard. Its supply of crude being unequal to its
requirements, it wants low prices, and works
the ropes so as to get them. Upon no other
theory can the depression be satisfactorily ac
counted for in the face of bullish statistics.

' WALL STREET GOSSIP,
Fentures of the Bharo Qfnrket and Pointers
for Investors.
Special to John If. Oakley & Co.
Hsv Yokk, June 28. Tbe market to-day has
been dull and steady, with a tendency to a
moderate improvement in prices. Atchison
holds Its own, and at a meeting of the directors
riu-ir-t
18l0.
tsresttobe paid on the income bonds. We
have before referred to these as a fair pur
purchase, and ws believe enough will ba paid
upon them this year to classify tbem as a fair
investment bond.
Tbe bank- statement, to tbe surprise of very
many, showed an increase In the reserve of
about $500,000.
Lead Trust has shown a decline from 24 to 18
within a few weeks, and this with the business
of the Trust companies continuing good and
realizing better prices for their product. Our
Cincinnati friends say the resident official of
this company put the amount of cash on band
at $5,000,000. quite an available sum for legiti
mate business purposes. We think this is one
of tbe low-priced stocks that will do to buy and
pay for and bold for good returns.
Here to-day, wbero to-morrow? is the appli
cation and interrogation for Wall street. The
prices of yesterday and ot to-day often present
such striking contrasts that to many a man
down here tbe world appears all rain or sun
shine, within very narrow limits of time. None
have occasion to realize this more forcibly tban
traders in Chicago Gas and Sugar Trust. Influ
ences are brought to bear, legitimately and
otherwise, which are used to suddenly depress
or advance the price of thee specialties, and
the big operators knowing the moves,"take into
camp" the limited marginal accounts.
A partial feature would be tbe regular listing
of such industrial stocks and tbe consequent
submitting of sworn statements as to their con
dition, assets and liabilities. Such securities
may be desirable for the investment and specu
lative public to deal in, bat tbe mysteries that
are now possible should be removed.
The i'OJf says: While the net result of the
week's trading is lowest prices for tho majority
of stocks, the result in that direction is so in
significant and the market has shown such
strength under very unfavorable circum
stances, that it affords ground now for the ex
pectation of an important advance some time
next month. The disbursements of the United
Stites Treasury after July 1 will be heavier
this year than ever before, and this, together
with tbe usual corporate interest and dividend
disbursements for the half year, will certainly
relieve the money market here, and, even if
this easier condition results in some further
exports of gold, they will relievo the London
marketand make London and Berlin buyers of
stocks. Itwasals.o pretty well settled at tbe
meeting of the trunk line presidents yester
day, that there would be no serious trouble
with rates, and altogether the Railroad situa
tion is sufficiently encouraging to warrant the
expectation of higher prices for stockE after
the national holiday.

"CLEVELAND'S"
standard" baking powder.
THE
Cream of tartar and bicarbonate of. soda, in their
proper proportions, have been recognized for more than
fifty years as the standard for leavening purposes, and
now these ingredients, with a small quantity of flour or
starch added to preserve the mixture, in the form of a pure
cream of tartar baking powder have almost wholly super
seded yeast and the old methods of producing pastry, hot
biscuit, cake, etc.
The manufacturers of Cleveland's Superior Baking
Powder have for a score of years adhered to the use of the
above ingredients, and these only, and have thus made it
the recognized standard for a pure cream of tartar powder.
The recent report of the United States Government
Chemist shows CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER RICHEST IN CREAM
OF TARTAR AND SODA and HIGHEST
IN LEAVENING POWER of all the pure cream
of tartar baking powders examined. See Bulletin
No. 13, Department of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C. The baking powder nearest to Cleveland's in
strength was found to contain .98 of ammonia.
The Canadian Government Report of 1889, as well
as the Reports of the Food Commissions of Ohio, 1887,
and New Jersey, 1889, confirm the fact that Cleveland's
Superior Baking Powder is the richest in cream of tartar
and richest in leavening power, and, therefore, absolutely
the best of all the cream of tartar baking powders.
IfOTZ. A pure cream of tartar vowder contains only the Ingredients above named.
When alum Is ssed It is classed as an "alum powder"; when ammonia, an "ammonia
powder." All ammonia and alum powdeni, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided,
as dangerous.

on the market for several days at a limited fig
ure, were ordered to-day to be Immediately
filled, and it was thought that the foreign mar

CATARRH AND ITS SEQUEL.
ADISTRESSINCICASEOFEAR TROUBLE,
THE SEQUEL OF CATARRH, CUBED
IN 3 MONTHS BY DR. BYERS AND AT
COST OF ONLY J15.
Seniy Kaylor, SI Thirteenth it, S. &
Mr. Kaylor is employed at Atterbury's glass
works and gave the writer the following inci
dent in bis life: "For 10 years I have been
troubled with catarrh, a continuous hawking
in tbe morning of a tough phlegm, with some
times a coughing up of bard chunks of matter
which smelted terribly. I would get hoarse at
times, my throat was always dry, and I thought
I was going into consumption. My stomach
troubled me very bad: had nausea, vomiting ot
food, bad taste In mouth in morning, coated
tongue and general detest for food. My sleep
was disturbed by horrid dreams showing that
my nervous system was also affected (tbe doctor
said). I had night sweats and felt tired all the
time. To add to all my other troubles my left
ear became affected, and I suffered the greatest
torture from it.
I put myself under Dr. Byers' treatment and
was entirely cured ot all these troubles in three
months and at a cost of only 515, as be treats all
cases at $5 a month, medicine included. He
treated me at bis nfnee once a week and gave
me medicino for bome use. which I took regu
larly. I can conscientiously advise any one
troubled as I was to call on Dr. Byers."
A CASE OF TOTAL LOSS OF IIEABLNO LEFT
EAR OF TWO TEAKS' STAJtrrSQ KESTOESD-
IV 5 MIUUTES.
Dr. Byers has nnder treatment a catarrhal
patient, who will not permit his name xa be
used, who had not beard with left ear for two
years, and tbe right one was going the same
way. Discovering that the deafness was caused
by mechanical obstruction, tbe offending mat
ter was removed, when lol ha beard as well aa
ever. Had tbis ocenrred at a faith cure estab
ment it would have been attributed to "faith."
but the gentleman very wiselv attributes his
cure to the skill and good judgment of Dr.
Byers.

CURED 0FCATARRH
And s Lung Trouble by the Catarrh Specialists"
at 323 Penn Avenue After All Other
Doctors Had Failed.
Of the hundreds of patients who have testi
fied In this paper to cures made by the Catarrh
Specialists, oerhaps none have been more re
markable tban that of Mrs. Josephine Myers,
of Glenfleld, Allegheny county. She had an al
most endlessnumber of condltlons.amongwhloh
were a dropping of catarrhal mucus into her
throat, where it became very tenacious and
bard to raise, and In tbe night on awaking it
would so suffocate her that she could scarcely
get her breatb. She bad much soreness in the
side of her neck and throat. She had pain
Mrs. Josephine Myers.
over her eyes, and ber eyes became very weak.
She often felt dizzy and bad noises in ber ears
that sounded to her as if she bad a steamboat
In ber head. As tbe disease finally extended
to ber lungs, she coughed, her breath became
short and she felt a tightness in her chest aod
aching pain between her shoulders. Her ap
petite failed, and her stomach became
so weak that food or even water
would cause a heaviness and burning
in ber stomach followed by nausea. She had
pains across tbe small of her back and kidneys.
She became bloated and took on a dropsical
appearance. Nightsweats weakened her very
fast. She could not sleep and would arise in
tbe morning more tired than on going to bed.
THE FOLLOWING ABE HER OW2T
WORDSr
"Although I had doctored a good deal I got
no better. Some doctors said they could do
nothing for me. I became discouraged and
tboughtlnever conld be cured and that I
would not live over a year. One day I hap
pened to see in the paper an account of the
sutiering of Mrs. ttratt, of Verner station,
which seemed something similar to my suffer
ing, and how she became cured-by tbe physi
cians of tbe Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute.
This gave me some hope, and I therefore took
a course of treatment from these doctors and
have been entirely enred of all my ailments.
