The United Miners have a valuable leader
in Secretary Robert Watchorn. So many
distressing accidents like the one at Dunbar
have happened in recent years that Mr.
Watchorn is anxions that mine operators
use all the necessary precautions to prevent
them. He has worked hard to secure better
legislation, but so far the corporations have
' been too much for him and his peaple.
The other day at Dnnbar lie was reading
an editorial in Tub Dispatch in which it
was recommended to place in various parts
of the mines canned cood, ship biscuit and
food of that character to meet emergencies
in case men were entombed.
"Hike the spirit of the editorial," said
Mr. Watchorn, "but the plan wouldn't
work. I have a better scheme than that.
Generally what miners need the mpst in
such terrible dilemmas is air, and this food
would not supply it.
A LIFE SAVER.
"There is a michine in use in some mines
that is intended to meet all such cases. It
costs money to put it in, but it will save life.
One is now in operation in tho Morrell mine
nearbv here, and an owner of the Dnnbar
pit told me the other night that he would
now give the price of the machine many
times over if he only had one in his mine,
and could get one tap from the imprisoned
men.
"The machine consists of a tube that is rnn
into the mine. It is so arranged that the
men inside, in a few minutes, can communi
cate to the suiface in any language. The
instructions are very simple, so many taps
for air and so many for something else.
Such a machine would supply 100 men with
air for any length of time. Liquid Jood
could be sent into thera through the pipe.
By notifying the miner be could place his
bucket under the other end and get all the
milk, for example, he wanted.
CONVEYING ENCOURAGEMENT.
"But the greatest advantage is that you
could talk to the imprisoned men and keep
up their spirits, tell them just what is being
done at the work of rescue, and no man can
tell how highly these precious words would
be prized by the poor fellows entombed
tinder the earth.
"We are too anxious these days to get rich,
i and we even do it at the expense of life.
' Mines are worked to yield profit, not (or the
safety of the employes, and all the life
saving appliances are not introduced.
' simply because it may cost a few thousand
t dollars. Wouldn't any operator gladly give
the price when it is too late, and some of his
men have been bnried alive?"
TRAMPS OK TEE IKCEEASE.
Special Aecnt Honchton nya Tbey Aro
MovIok Eastward.
"The hordes of tramps moving eastward
are laacer than ever," said Special Agent
Hajk&n Houghton, of the Pennsylvania
road, yesterdav. "Only last Wednesday
we stationed officers at New Florence, where
all the trains stop for water, and we cap
tured 36 riding on the cars. The county
jails are full of these fellows.
"Their Mecca in the summer is the large
Eastern cities, and in the winter they mi
grate South. Since the panic Etarted many
honest men on the road looking for work the
tramp has become a permanent institution,
and as a class they are people who would
not earn their bread under any conditions
by the sweat of their brow. They are too
lazy. There is no lack for employment these
days, but the ranks of the tramp, instead of
depleting, are increasing. Once in a while
we find one among them who is looking for
a job, but he is soon proselyted and becomes
as bad as the rank and file.
"They find it much easier to rob farm
and springhouses and occasionally a store
in a small town than to work for a living."
HOTELS WAKT GUESTS.
This Easiness Dm Its Doll Season T.Ike All
Olbcrs.
"This is the summer of our discontent,"
remarked a hotel clerk yesterday. "Every
season has its dull period and ours is on
now, and has come to stay until the middle
of August. Only a month ago we were
turning people away every night, but at
present we have plenty of rooms as the reg
ister will show. Th drummers are not
moving in the hot weather, and the business
man is away spending his vacation. Well,
I guess we can stand it as well as the rest of
thera."
What the clerk had to say has been a fact
for several weeks. None of the hotels are
doing a rushing business, and toward the
latter prt of the week the list of arrivals is
painfnlly small. With the return of August
trade begins to revive, and the festive com
mercial man once more takes to the road. If
his trade should be abolished, as some have
suggested, what would the hotels and village
maidens do? The latter would have nobody
to flirt with.
BUCKET SHOPS CLOSED UP.
AdmnclDC Prices nnd Jot tbo Rrmovnl of
the Ticker, Did tho Work.
"What has been the effect o: the removal
of the ticker?" was asked of John M.
Oakley, the broker, yesterdiy.
"My business has doubled," be replied,
"but'I am not sure that it is dne to the re
moval of the ticker. The bucket shops have
been closed np, but it was the ad
vance in prices that knocked them out
rather than the loss of the
quotations. Bnsidess on the Chicago mar
ket has been verv active, with advancing
prices. Very olten the market is lively on
declining prices, bnt then we never make
any money.
"They are still very strict, however, about
the quotations. There int a wheat ticker
in the country. They might put them back
now with safetv, though some bucket-shops
Blight be etarted as a result."
A DBTVE TO YELLOWSTONE."

"We had a varied excursion over our
road last summer to Yellowstone Park
and we propose giving another one this
year," spoke no Thomas S. Spear, of .the
Union Pacific road, yesterday. "There
were 30 in the partv, and they took two
tix-horse Concord coaches and loaded the
whole business at Omaha, and went by rail
to Beaver Canon. There the horses were
unloaded, and three days were spent in

CAUGHT UNDEK A SAFE DOOB.
Tho Fato Which Hefell General Fnsieng-or
.tejent Clark's Check Book.
"My bank account has been squeezed
oftenbut I don't think it was ever pinched
quite so hard as at present." remarked Gen
eral Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, of the
Lake Erie road yesterday, as he pulled and
grew red in the face at the big safe door
which refused to open.
A peculiar accident had happened. Mr.
Clark was putting away his cheek-book,
which contained a number that had been
filled out when it fell, and the neavy safe
door closed on it. There it was under the
big iron plate acting as a wedge, and re
fusing to let anybody in or out. Several
strong men were tugging away at the door,
but the little book held it moBt effectively.
Fmallv Mr. Clark took a hatchet and cut
off the projecting end of the book, and with
a sharp wedge worked back the remainder
of it under the door. Fortunately the book
had been caught in such a manner that the
checks were cut off near the stubs, and they
were all right Afterward the door was
easily opened.
A "WHITE EOBIir.
A Taxidermist aionrns tho Fact That He
Couldn't Secure It.
"A white robin is a rare avis, a freak,
possibly. Did you ever see one?" asked an
enthusiastic taxidermist yesterday.
"Well, if you haven't, I have, and lam
wofully disappointed that I didn't get it I
was visiting in the country when I noticed
the bird sitting in a tree. At first I thought
it was a dove, but soon discovered that it
was a robin, snowy white at that, and beau
tiful. I was anxious to secure it, and more
than once, with an old musket and a
tanner's boy, I tried to kill it, bnt Jailed,
The bird soon discovered mv intentions, for
it disappeared, and, though I often watched
for its coming, it came not, and I lost an
addition to my collection that I would have
prized highly;"

THE
WATER INOOR MILK.
Pittsburg's Supply of the Lacteal
Fluid Considered Above Par.
CITT DAIRIES HEAT AND CLEAN.
Some 2111k Thin and Suspiciously Blue, bnt
as a General Thing
IT DOESXT PAI TO ADDLTEEATE IT
The question of the pnrity of Pittsburg's
milk supply is a very important one more,
perhaps, than that of the purity of booze, as
the former is very largely a diet for the sick
and infants, while the latter is not to nearly
so great an extent. The daily milk bill of
these cities is over $6,000, the consumption
per diem being over 30,000 gallons.
Fortunately Pittsburgers are in better
shape than they are in Philadelphia, where
the Board of Health has had much trouble
to abate the superabundant aqueosity of the
lacteal fluid. They have a city ordinance
fixing the standard, but the Pittsburg
Hoard of Health manages to give those who
adulterate milk considerable trouble under
the general act of Assembly governing the
matter, and Mr. "W. F. McKelvy, Chief
Clerk of the Bureau of Health, states
that in answer to inquiries he in
formed the health authorities of the
manner in which the matter is rcgnlated
here, where no trouble has been experienced
in convicting violators o jf the law when
they are caught. But there seems to be but
little doubt that, notwithstanding all the
precautions possible, there is a vast amount
ot milk watered, as it only lies, generally
speaking, between the retailer and con
science, whether he will act crookedly or
not.
WOULD NOT PAT THEM.
Mr. McKelvy states that at this season of
the year it will not pay shippers to water
milk, as they send more milk to tbe city
than tbey are able to dispose of, anyhow;
but he also says that many retailers only
buy a fixed amount, and the supposition is
that the amount is made sufficiently "flexi
ble" to accommodate the increased demand
at times. Unless each family buys a lac
tometer for itself, its only safety lies in ex
ercising discretion in dealing with honest
people.
It seems that the only comparatively safe
plan to lollow in watering is to do it as the
milk is measured out to customers, for not
only is Milk and Meat Inspector Mc
Cutcheon or Colonel Kilgore likely to drop
around at any time and make a
test, but the Health Bureau in
spectors are occasionally directed
to drop aronnd without warning, and take
samples from scores of dealers in a few hours
and bring them in for testing. Where,
however, the dealer adulterates just as he
sells he runs less risk, for not one in a
thousand purchasers would think of having
a test made. They might think the milk
thin or blue, and scold about it, but ordi
narily that would be the end of the matter,
and dishonest dealers know it
Once upon a time the authorities were
overburdened with complaints that a cer
tain dairyman who delivered from a wagon
was watering his milk. At length Inspector
Lindsey began taking a shot on the fly at
the crook, and he scarce made a round that
he was not hauled up short
AIAVAXS STOOD THE TEST.
AH in vain; his milk always stood the
test, and the Inspector became ashamed to
meet the suspect He came to grief
one morning, however. A woman fit
ting at a third-story window
saw him empty water from a
jug into his measure before putting the
milk into it The action was performed in
such a manner that a person standing on the
ground would, ,not see it. That man was
amy -roasted, out it isnt supposed that his
fate deterred others from aftintr similarly.
especially those who jean Supply an unex
pected aemana-witnout ordering an extra
supply.
It is not believed that at present so much
water masquerades as milk here as in some
other cities. A few years ago a raid was
made on some Massachusetts dealers, and
of 1,170 samples tested 790, or 66 per cent,
were found to have been watered, and in
BuQalo four years ago 73 per cent of the
milk supplied was found to be adulterated.
It seems a pity that condemned milk
should be msde a libation to appease the
wrath of justice. It might be churned aud
the butter sent to the poorhouse, in place of
oleo, to an extent; or the city might operate
a big Doggery in the suburbs and feed the
milk and vegetables confiscated.
The purity of milk is a matter of great im
portance to infants, invalids and aged peo
ple, as it frequently forms the main portion
of their diet Babies olten die from lack of
nutrition, owing to tbescoundrelismot some
dealers. While the practice ot waterinc
milk is no more dishonest than that of
making cream-tartar 73 per cent gypsum, it
is more reprehensible, on account of the
greater mischief resulting. It is as heinous
as the manufacture of medicines of insuffi
cient strength.
OSE OEEAT IMPROVEMENT.
Pittsburg may be congratulated on a
great improvement in one respect. Twenty
years ago many of the city dairies were
kept in a horribly filthy condition. The
cows stood in filth, and even fed on still
slops, etc, until thpir physical condition
was calculated to start a pestilence among
consumers. Since then the number of city
dairies has diminished, but there are still a
good many left. Tbey are, however, in a
vastly superior condition to what they were
formerly- When an inspector hnds a cow
diseased, she must immediately go out of
service, and if tbe case be bad, she is
slaughtered at once, and her carcass
sent to the schiudlery, so that
the river gets no salvage. The Bureau ot
Health cannot present crowding, and can
not say how much space must be assigned to
each cow, but it can force owners to keep
stables clean, and after a kw weeks of sur
veillance, and the loss of a cow or two, dis
reputable proprietors find an exemplifica
tion of the adage that "Honesty is the best
policy."
There is one way to insure abolutely fair
dealing, and that is for each consumer to
constitute himself a detective, and have
milk tested lrom time to time. Reputable
dealers will find it to their interest to give
all the assistance in their power to their
detection ot the cormorants who are willing
to profit by killing off infants, invalids and
the aged. Such dealers arc as infamous as
the operations of graveyard insurance socie
ties, infant insurance companies, or baby
farms.

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
ALLEGHENY POLICEMEN AEEESTED,
Charged by n Liveryman With Cruelty to
Two of His Horses.
Two of Mayor Wyman's policemen were
arrested yesterday a'fternoon by Alderman
Braun's constable, and gave ball lor their
appearance to answer charges of cruelty to
animals. The complainant is W. J. B.
Thubron, the keeper or a livery stable on
Overlook street, in the Second ward of Al
legheny. He visited the Humane Society
on Friday, and claimed that the two police
men had driven two of his borses nearly to
death. He said that last Tuesday night
Officers James Davis and Felix McCuen
hired two single buggies from him and
went driving out the Perrysville road.
They raced their horses, whipping them
mercilessly, and brought them back to the
stable in a sorry condition. McCuen had
broken his buggy and had played his horse,
but the animal which Davis drove was
"deat beat," and Thubron thinks it may
never recover from its severe overwork.
Warrants lor Davis and McCuen were
sworn out yesterday by Agent Berrymen, of
the Humane Society. There will be a hear
ing Tuesday forenoon. The officers are
both old men on the Allegheny force.
Davis is considered one of the best police
men in that city. Chief Murphy said that
he did not consider it his duty to reprimand
or suspend men for what they did when off
duty, unless they committed some criminal
or absolutely disgraceful act
A PAET OF BYGONE DAYS.

Chief Jones said yesterday: "We are
making arrangements to secure one of these
old engines, and will have it in the proces
sion with the new engines to show the great
improvements made in the past years."
HTDSEN IN A SPEAK-EASY.
A Much-Wanted Man Hides From the Pollco
for Five Weeks.
Detective Coulson and Lieutenant Holmes
succeeded in arresting John Sterling yester
day afternoon, and in securing him a badly
wanted man is run down. Sterling was
prosecuted some time ago for selling liquor
without license at No. 158 Water street, but
he jumped his bail and for five weeks has
managed to elnde arrest.
Yesterday the officers learned that Sler
line was in hiding in a room above a cooper
shop on Water street, between Boss and
Grant streets, and that he was earring on a
profifible illicit liquor trade at that point.
The officers visited the place where they
found Sterling so thoroughly disguised as to
be hardly recognizable. Sterling was
committed to jail to await trial at court
WOULDN'T STAY AT HOME.
A Lady's Attempt to Ralso an Orphan
Proves a Failure.
Mrs. Bridget Little, who lives at No. 94
Seventh avenue, applied at the Humane
Society yesterday to have that organization
take charge ot a young girl, Susanna Mc
Donald, who is 15 years old. Mrs. Little
said that the girl was an orphan, and was
taken by Mrs. Little out of St Paul's
Orphan Asylum seven years ago.
The lady has no daughters and expected
to raise the girl as her own. She said that
she could do nothing with Susanna, who
would run ont at night and sometimes re

Mr. McQuiston denies that any of the dele
