LOCAL BALL AFFAIRS,
The Season Hall Gone and Pittsburg's
Teams Are Lost in the Eace
for the Pennant
A POOR LOSIKG GAME PLATED.
Hanlon's Men Will Hardly Draw Their
Vsvzl Crowds 'When Thej Return Un
less Thej Brace Up.
THE TKOUBLB WITH THE NATIONALS.
Alleftd Hot Members of the Team Are Drinking
More Thin Is Good lor Them.
The base ball season for 1890 is now near
ly balf oTer. And what has Pittsburg to
show that they have had two teams in the
race? Beally nothing. Tne teams of both
the National and Players leagues haTe
been lost in the swim, being practically an
unknown quantity in the make-up of the
two .organizations. In fact, from present
indications it wonld look very much as
though their only use is to allow the better
clnbs to use them as a stepping stone toward
the pennant flag. Last week the Flayers'
League team won one game and the Nation
al Leaguers did not even do that well. This
fact injures the drawing of the cities where
they play and the Players' League uiea nave
not drawn expenses while on their Eastern trip.
POOK DBAWIJJO CABDS.
The only salvation for the National League
team Is their small salary list, which is In the
neighborhood of 120,000. This allows them to
live on a very low attendance, while the hish
a&larled Brotherhood clnb is compelled to draw
large crowds or the backers most go down in
their pockets. There is no donbt that il the
present ruinons state ot affairs continue much
longer, the backers or both teams will be put
ting out a great deal more money than will
please them. In fact they will begin to wish
they tere out ol the business entirely and had
the par value of their ball stock in cash
There are always reasons to be found for
poor ball playing. That Hanlon's team is not
winning is no fault of his. Ue has done his
best and is plajlng better ball this sea
son than ever before. Hut his men go at their
work In a list I eta fashion that always will fall.
Every once in awhile they make a spurt and
play a great came. In fact, they play a game
that can not be beaten bv the best teams. Then
they relapse Into their old state and make the
poorest kind of a showing.
POOB GAMES, I-OOB CBOWDS.
The Flayers' League team here has been
drawing the best crowds In the country, but un
less they brace up and play ball this week mat
ters will be changed upon their return home,
and they will find that all is not sentiment in
basebalL When tuey started on tbeir present
trip tbey had a great advantage over the local
National League team. This was gained par
tially by tbeir good showing on the field und
partly by the poor work of the Nationals.
However, they are liable to lose all this advan
tage unless they brace up and play winning
ball.
The work of Mr. O'Neill's men in the East
has been even worse than that of tbe Brother
hood players. Not onlj have they lost every
game played, but tbey have been disgunting
the people by their poor exhibitions. It is said
that several of the members ot tne team are
Indulging in a little too much drink
ing. It can't be said that anv
ot the men haTe been intoxicated, but
they haTe appeared on the field, after having
been drinking and were unable to judge a fly
ball or hot crounder, thus allowing numerous
base hits to count against the pitcher. The
whole team is demoralized by the acions of a
few, and while one of the best players is impli
cated In the drink business it would be best for
the team to clear them all out.
TVHO IS TO BLAME?
There are pitchers in the team that would
make great records if they had the proper sup
port. One of the young men was heard to re
mark the other day tnat he wonld rather have
tayed in a minor league than be in the Pitts
urg team and spoil his record on account of
eing poorly supported.
Sir. O'Neill is doing his best to get a team in
he field. Ue has secured several rood men,
nd Saturday, secured Osborne, of the Wheel
ics, as a fielder. If he proves all right, Kelty
ill be released. Kelty is one ot the best
elders and hitters In the League, if he would
eep in condition, but he can't play in tbe
ational League out of condition. He has
een given the best chance of any player in tbe
ague, and had bis salary increased on a
.-onnse to stay sober. But he Has disregarded
'I this, and has only himself to blame it he is
.opped.
It is to be hoped that both National and
Flayers' League teams will changebeir course
and give Pittsburg baseball in keeping with
her position among other cities in other
branches of business.
OK" THE SITUATION.
John WarJ Has not Lost Confidence In tbe
' New Lengne.
In viewing the season's results Ward says:
l1 have never for a moment lost confidence in
tbe stability of the Players' Leagne, and I am
still in favor of carrying on the fight over tbe
lines then laid down. I think it was a great
mistake for tbe Boston club to run away from a
scheduled game In Pittsburg, and Ned Hanlon
was right in protesting against it. Now, I am
satisfied that tbe Boston club would have drawn
just as well in Bufftio as they did at home.
They could have played one moro game in
Pittsburg and just been that much better off
instead of giving up to satisfy Hanlon's objec
tion?. Boston is not a Fourth of July town. It
has never been used to baing ball garnet on
that day. and furthermore that is one day of
the year when the people of that cnltured city
go to picnics, the seashore and other places
w bere thev can rest. It was a bad move, and I
suppose Kelly tCo. willing to admit it
now. I have no doubt they expected to draw
anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 people, but they
didn't get much over 7.000
"Well, I suppose yc rftmember the last time
I was in the city tbe National League people
said we would not be able to live CO days.
Then the Fourth of July was fixed as the ulti
mate limit. That period has passed and we are
still in the field, and reviving the interest iu
tbe national game."

Washikotos, July 18. 'Tt Is all coming out
as 1 predicted In the spring," remarked
President Younc, of the National League,
"and the past week witnessed a turn
in the tide of the baseball tug of war be
tween our organization and the Players'Leagne.
The Brotherhood started off witn a big hurrah
and attracted a number of enthusiasts at first,
but since then the regular patrons ot the game
have been coming back to their old allegiance.
Tbe Leaguo nines have, with but few excep
tions, been playing good ball, and that Is bound
to draw. Now yesterday I see that wo had
something over 9,000 persons at our game. I
think our people are all very well satisfied with
the outlook.
"There is no prospect of any of the League
clubs going under. The franchises in the
League are valuable pieces of property, and tbe
capitalists who bold them are not coing to
sacrifice them for a temporary set-back. We
will play games If there is not over J50 to plav
them to. We can stand tbe strain. But, as I
said, the worst of it is over ana we are getting
Into better shape.

meeting at Harrisburg to-morrow, when an
effort will be made to strengthen the circuit,
and a new schedule will be adopted. Two or
more clubs are wanted and Inducements will

effort to organize combination clubs between
Lancaster and Beading and Allentown and

An eight-club circuit Is to be established if It

Baseball Notes.
TnE first season that Pitcher Vlau was with
the Cincinnati team be won IS straight victo
ries, and then Huches. who is still on tbe
Brooklyn team and who had made a similar
record, put a check to the "Beds" winning
Bireaic
Muli.ane and Miller aro having a novel race
as utility men. The Clnclnnatlan has filled
every position but catcher, while the Pittsburg
"fog born" has yet to cover first base. Doth
will then claim to have been in every position
on tbe team.
Said a baseball expert at tbe National
League igrnunds yesterdar: "The Pittsburg
team would make a good club If It only played
together. None of the men seem to know what
tbe other is going to do. They lack team work
and head work badly." New York Evening
noria.
Evekt ball player is more or less super
stitious. Foreman, of the Clnclnnatis, has a
queer fancy. He imagines that his better balf
is bis Jonah. Anyhow, Mrs. Foreman .has
never yet seen her husband pitch a winning
game. It is her misfortune to see ber hubby
knocked out of the box every time she goes
out to see him play.
The Players' League race is growing more
Interesting every dav. A victory or defeat be
tween tbe first mx clubs just now changes the
position of each. There are seven clubs in tbe
race, Buffalo being tbe only club out ot it. As
will be seen by a reference to the table, only
nine games separate the first and seventh
club. Philadelphia Ledger.
Jon.v CoRKniLL was last season one of the
strougest and most accurate throwers In the
country. It will be many years before be will

plates. Possibly be never will. He has the
"dead arm" complaint and cannot throw across
the street without suffering excruciating pain.
He has gone to bis noine in Philadelphia to see
if rest will do it good.
"How about Lyons?" asked Pete Browning
last night. "Is he still smasbln' 'em ontf Bar,
he's a lulu wid de stick. There's no man in de
Brotherhood who can beat him, Dave Orr is
another jes' like him. Dave can hit 'em off his
ear, on de groun', 'ginst his shirt or over his
nut. Oh, I'm hittm' 'em right along, old man.
My lamps are great, ana dey can't fool Peter."
Philadelphia Press.
Pbobablt no club in the League, excluding
tbe Brooklvns, has so many players who have
been with a championship team in former. years
as tbe New Yorks. Hornung was with the Bos
tons: Walsh. Tiernan and Murphy were with
the Giants; Bassett acd Denny were in Provi
dence; Burkett was with Worcester, acd Es
terbrook with the "'Mets," at one time, when
these clubs carried off the pennant.

speaking of tbe prophets who are fixmeup a
new Brotherhood circuit for '81, Al Spink says:
"They put it down as New York. Boston,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Chicago and Cleveland. In this, however,
they are wrong. St. Louis is to take Cleve
land's franchise and players, while Baltimore
will succeed Pittsburg. Bee if we do not call
tbe turn."
"I 'WAS never in such fast company in all my
life," said Browning, of the Clevelands, while
in Boston, speaking of the Players League.
"It is tbe greatest organization, with tbe best
array of players, ever known." Captain Larkin.
who was at hand, indorsed this statement. He
said: "Tho came, as played by tbe Players'
League, will accomplish its own work. All other
organizations ara minor leagues compared with
ours and are not in W Boston Herald.
"GIVE us more batting in our professional
games" bas been tbe cry of the "fans" for
years and, in order to cater to the wishes of the
baseball patrons, tbe Players' League last
spring, when constructing its playing rules, put
the pitcher back 18 inches, and further handi
capped that individual by giving him a real
live ball to pitch with. As a result, the batting
has been much heavier than heretofore, and
there hare been few of those tiresome pitchers'
battles on Brotherbood grounds thus far. The
.fielders do not like the change much, neither
do tbey like tbe new ball, as tbe chances offered
them are much more difficult to handle, hence
their averages will not look so nice when they
come out in the official guides next spring.
However, the people want more batting, and
they must bavo it, regardless of the wishes of
the fielders in tbe matter. Exchange.
KENTUCKY HORSE NEWS.
Good Prospects for tbe Trsttera This Sea
on More Horses In Training Than
Ever Before Yesterday' Racing Ue-
ulta and Other Turf News.
rSFICIAL TELEOIlAMTOTHZDISPATCn.
Lexington, Kt., July IS. There comes a
good report from every track In Central Ken
tucky that the horses aro all training well for
the coming Blucgrass circuit trots. This Is the
second series of tho popular races, and the in
dications at present are that a season of rare
sport will be the result this year. The almost
fabulous prices speedy trotters now sell for
show that the way to make the most money
railing trotters Is to dovelop them after they
aro raised. In this way a green 2-yoar-old that
would probably fetch $900 or $1,000 In tbe past
ure is made to bring from Si, 000 to (10,000 with
a few months' handling. Tbe benefit Is three
fold. It Increases tbe value of tbe youngster,
increases tbe value of Its dam, and makes the
sire worth more money. Besides, It is a big
advertisement for tbe breeder, and is often the
means of much benefit to him by an increased
demand for tbe product of his stud. Ken
tucky breeders are taking advantage of these
facts, and as a consequence there are many
more horsas in training than ever before, and
to judge by tbe way tbe young things are going,
tbe present season will be a notable one ill
the history of the trotting horse of Kentucky.
Messrs. McFerren &. Clancy, of Louisville,
Ky.. write as follows under date of July 4: Tbe
mare Prefix, 'by Pancoast, 221, first dam
Galatea, by Messenger Duroc, second dam
Hyacinth (dam "ot Relna Victoria), by Volun
teer, dropped on July 4 a nice bay stud b Bell
Boy, 2:U. We claim tbe name of Liberty
Bell for this fellow.
G. t C. P. Cecil, of Danville, Ky., have sold
to Charles Loder, of Lewisville, lnd., tbe
suckling colt Grand Marsbal. by Gambetta
Wilkes, 22B; dam Mistake, 239U, by Marsbal
Klebcn second dam Lady Yeis-r (dam of Don
Pizzaro, 2J4JJ), by Garrard Chief. They have
also sold to Samuel Lyons, same place, the
suckllm; colt by C. F. Clay,2.19, dam Gambetta,
br Gambetta Wilkes: second dam Winnie
WilKes (dam of MambrinoMald,2:Uii),by Red
Wilkes
In regard to sickness among horses, this has
been one of tbe most unfortunate years that
Kentucky breeders ever experienced. While
the death rate has not been alarmingly great,
tbere has been an unprecedented amount of
disease, and that of a most malignant nature.
The malady affects hortti differently,Tbo
THE
heads of some swell and tbey suffer as If from
distemper. In others tbe limbs enlarge, the
shoulders fester, and lancing bas to be resorted
to in order to rid tbe animal of the great col
lection of pus. Then, again. In other horses the
disease' takes the form of catarrhal fever, and
tho entire system becomes affected. Twenty
nine horses nave been sick in the Messrs. Bow
erman Brotbers' itable. and nearly all of John
E. Madden's 20 bad bad toi be turned out.
Other trainers, bowover, have not f red quite so
badly, and there are still hundreds of horse at
the Fair Ground track taking bard work.
Horsemen generally seem to think that the
warm weather will have a tendency to eradi
cate tba disease, and that all tbe horses now
sick will soon be well again.
Perhaps tbe most noted foal dropped in Ken
tucky this year, or will be dropped, for that
matter, was one that first saw light at Wood
burn last week. It Ib a beautiful stallion eolt,
being almost jet black. Its sire Is King
Wilkes, which fact itself is enouch to call at
tention to the youngster; but when it is stated
that the dam of tbe colt Is the noted Miss Rus
sell (dam of Maud B), the significance of tbe
new arrival can be imagined. It is understood
this royally bred little fellow has not yet been
named, hut several persons have suggetd
Russell Rex. This sounds well, and as rex is
(Spanish for kine, the name might be very ap
propriate. This is the first foal, we believe,
that Miss Russell or anv of her daughters have
ever dropped to the embrace of a representa
tive Wilkes stallion, and his development will
be watched with interest.
BELLE HAMLIN'S GBEAT WORK.
The Buffalo lllnre Dor. nn Eighth of a Mile
In 14 3-4 Seconds.
Buffalo, July 13. lust about two years ago
the Buffalo mare. Belle Hamlin, startled the
world by trotting a half mile over tbe Buffalo
track in lKKJi a 2.-WK gait. Yesterday sho
trotted an eighth in HJ seconds, at the rate of
29f for a quarter and a 1:58 gait, though no
horse could carry that clip further than an
eighth. She was driven by W. J. Andrews,
whogaveher her bead and allowed her to go
as fast as she wanted to, and without tbe least
urging or a touch of the whip. It is certainly
a wonderful performance, and has never been
equalled by any trotting horse, and the only
pacer that has ever been credited with such a
burst of speed is Brown Hal, who recently paced
a quarter in 28 seconds.
Mr. Hamlin was highly elated over there
suit, and thought if site could carry snch a clip
for an eighth she ought to trot a quarter in 30,
and if she accomplishes that, he believes sho
can beat the record of Maud S (2:08), at least
he says he will try to dethrone tbe present
queen of the turf.

A HITCH IN THE DETAILS.
The BIcAnlinV-Bowen Mill Not an Assured

fFPBCIAI. TELEQBAJt TO THI niSPATCttJ
New York, July IS There is a slighv hitch
in tbe arrangements of the details of tbe Mc-Auliffe-Bowen
glove contest. The articles ot
agreement forwarded to McAullffe for his
signature are not satisfactory, neither do
they meet the approval of the Puritan
Athletic Club management. The weight
stipulation is one of tbe objectionable clauses.
Bowen wants to fight at 183 pounds, give or
take two pounds. McAullffe says ho will fight
at 135 pounds, give or take two pounds. He
also claims that the purse, S2.500, is too small
for him to get down to light-weight again. An
other objectionable feature of tbe article is
that In which Bowen insists that tbe Police
Gazette licht-weieht championship belt mnst
be ad led to i he purse. McAullffe said to-day.
to a Aiisf atcu reporter:
"I hare won tbe belt. and It is my personal
property. If Bowen wants to fight for tbe
belt he will have to put up a stake of $2,500
against It. I will not put it up for less. Then
again, he wants to use two ounce gloves. That
is out of the question. Regulation gloves mnst
be used to comply with tbe law. I don't pro
pose to run tbe risk of arrest upon any
account. Bowen also asks for $250 ad
ditional for the expenses of his manager.
The Puritan .Athletic Club will not
al'ow the expenses of any manager or trainer.
They simply put np a $2,500 purse for the con
test, and decline to pay any money for ex
penses. It Bowen does not accede to my re
quests or conform his ideas to those of the
club management tbe match will not take
place. 1 want to know what Bowen intends
doing as early as possible, so that I can open
negotiations with the Pelican Club, of London,
about meeting Jem Carney under the auspices
of that club."

that not only the mind needs training, but
there must be a means for the proper physical

ample room to this department, and the pupils
of that school will now become advanced phys

Al G. Pratt has taken tho contract for fitting

plete gymnasium in the city. One of tbe
pieces to be put in is called a "special cym
naslum cage," and it 1b one of the new com

perfect men. It is, in fact, a gymnasium of
itself. It is an Ingenious combination of four
stalls, furnishing the most useful of gj mnaslum

stalls, each admitting of a whole scries of

Besldo this, tbero are hundreds of other

dock laborers only tended to increase the
drinking habit among them.
Doubting the truth of this statement Mr.
Gompers wrote to Mr. Goschen and also to
John Burns, who was the leader of the dock
laborers in the strike, and asked them for
some information on the subject. He has
just received replies. Mr. Goschen's secre
tary writes that Mr. Goschen never said
anything of the kind.
MR. GOSCHEN'S DEHTAIi.
"What he did say in his budget speech
was that the recent Increased prosperity of
all classes in Great Britain bas been accom
panied by an increase in the consumption of
intoxicating liquors. "All classes," he
said, "have combined to toast tbe prosperity
of the country." Mr. Burus wrote:
103 Layekder Hill, Battersea, 1
London, June 28. j
. Dear Sir The Chancellor of the Exchequer
did nut say that tho Increase In waces and re
duction of hours of labor of the dock laborers
of London had merely tended to Increase their
drunkenness and largely contributed to an
Increase In the treasury from tho II
quor traffic Tils statement was
that the increase of two millions
was due to tbo tact that tbe people bad been
toasting tbe nrnsperity of trade tn the country.
He bad no reference to any class, but did say
that tbere had been a great increase in
the duty lrom rum. I attended a meet
ing last night of 6,000 dock laborers,
and askod those who ought to know
what was the effect of higher waves and
better conditions, and tbe universal opinion
was tbat the workers of London who had re
ceived better wages are more sober tbao ever
tbey were. As an abstainer myself, lam de
lighted at tho conduct or the dockers, and
more than pleased at tbe diminution, not only
of drinking but of betting anions them,
due in nn small measure to tbe fact that their
leaders, Messrs. Mann, Tlllett and others are
temperance men. The greatest enemies I have
in London are tbe betting men and publicans.
Their onmlty is a testimony to this fact, as we
ask for
A BEDUCTION OF HOURS
for more leisure and education and urge tbe
men to spend their higher wages in home com
forts. In 20 years the amount spent In Hqu6r
per bead of population has decreased 20 per
cent, while the aggregate has Increased
through growth of population. In Encland,
as elsewhere, the short hour movement
has always tended to sobriety, and increased the
Intelligence of the worker. In my own trade
12 or 14 years ago secretaries were bribed to
transfer the meeting place from the Fig and
Whistle to tbe Brown Bear, sn that
the publicans might have the profit from tbe
drink consumed. So great has been tbo change
tbat the proprietor will almost give you 20 to
take tbe meeting away, as tbe drink consumed
does not pay him to have the meeting there.
At boat races, boan feasts, holiday gather
ings the change In the drinking habits is
most marked, bide by side with the demand
tor shorter hours is also the demand for free
libraries, parks and open spare", gymnaia,
cricket and football grounds. Leisure- to-day
does not mean drinking, but tbe opportunities
for thought,education and true thrift, which is
impossible to men whose hours make them
animals and content with brutal existence
Ibe rich man drinks because he, has nothing
else to do. This means tbat the poor man, who
provides him with the means for drinking, has
to work longer hours than he should
and as a consequence often heals the monotony
of his toil by bonts of drinking, tho cause of
which the eight-hour advocates are going to
remove by equalizing the labor of both. 'Ihus
the lazy man will have somethlngto take an in
terest in. while the previously overworked
slave will have leisure, without which man
hood and its best characteristics are impossi
ble. Yours truly,
John Burns.

HALF A MILLION LOSS.
MAMMOTH PAPER FACTORY AND PLANNQ
MILLS BURNED.
An Earlj Moraine Fire Destroy Magnificent
Property In Philadelphia Carey' Wall
Paper Manufactory n Comploto Rnln
Other Buildings Dnmageil.
Philadelphia, July 13. One of the
most destructive fires that has occurred in
this city for several years brokeout about i
this morning in tbe turning and planing
mill of H. T. Atkinson at Tenth street and
Susquehanna avenue. The wind was blow
ing from the southwest and carried the
flames across Tenth street to the east side,
and Atkinson's lumber yard also caught
fire. While the firemen were at work fight
ing the flames which were devouring At
kinson's two properties, the wind veered
around to southeast, aud the flames, fed by
sheds and dry lumber which surrounded the
planing mill, were carried against the ex
tensive wall naner manufacturing establish
ment of Carey Bros., which was separated
from Atkinson's mill- property by a narrow
street.
Inside of half an hour Carey Brothers'
magnificent building was a complete mass
or ruins. The building extended from
Tenth to Eleventh streets, a distance of 300
(eet, and from Nevada to Colona streets, 120
feet, and was five stories high. Scarcely
any attempt was made by the firemen to
check the flames in Carey Brothers' build
ing, as they realized their efforts wold be of
avail. They devoted themselves to saving
the property which surrounded it
Bows of small houses, occupied mainly
bv employes of Carey Bros., stood to the
east and north of the "blazing structure, and
it was only by almost superhuman efforts
that these were saved. The fronts of all of
them were scorched and blistered, and the
furniture in those on Nevada street was
soaked with water. When the north wall
fell tbe bricks piled un against the houses
and the irightened occupants made their
escape from the rear, and womcu and chil
dren, half dressed, ran through the streets
terror stricken. Thousands of people sur
rounded the burning property and gazed at
the gorgeous effect produced by the com
bustion of the coloring materials used in
the manufacture of the wall paper.
Carev Bros, estimate their lo at $500,
000, the building costing $200,000. and their
stock, machinery, patterns, designs, etc.,
being worth $300,000. .Their insurance is
$202,000. Mr. Atkinson places his loss at
between $7 S, 000 aud $80,000 on bis planing
mill property, stable und lumber yard. His
insurance foots up $26,600. Dwelling
houses on Nevadi street were damaged to
theexteutof;$G,000 and other small losses
to surrounding property will aggregate
$5,000 more, making the total near $000,000.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Carey Bros.' factory was probably the
most complete establishment of its kind in
the United States, if not in tbe world. All
grades of wall paper were manufactured,
lrom the cheapest to the finest. The store
rooms were packed with goods intended for
the trade of the coming fall and spring. A
great effort was made to save the designs.
John Trumpy, foreman of the designing de
paitment, rushed into the burning building,
determined to rescue his sketches aud de
signs, but he was overcome by smoke and
made a narrow escape lrom tho pUce. Tne
only casualty be'fell John.Hicks, employed
by Atkinson, who, while removing mules
from the stable, was kicked in the side by
one of them and three of his ribs were frac
tured. About 200 men and women were employed
by Carey Bros. The firm considered that
their building was about as nearly fire proof
as it was possible to make it

FLAMES A THOUSAND FEET HIGH.
Supposed Extinct Volcanoes Emitting Fire,
6moke nud Stenm.
Poet Towhsend, Wash., July 13.
About two months ago there was a violent
eruption on all the islands in the Aleutian
group, and soon after Bogostqff, which is on
Oumarak Island, began emitting steam
aud smoke and air and lava. Bo
gostoff has been an inactive volcano
since 1876, when the island upon
which it is situated, is said to have risen
lrom it, and although always marked on
charts as extinct, several times this year
smoke and steam have been seen issu
ing from the crater, and from the orig
inal height of 1,169 feet the volcano has
dropped to 889 leet below the sea level.
The flames of fire, thousands of feet in
height, can be seen at night issuing from
the mountain.
Hount Shehaldon, which Is 6,963 feet
high on Analga, is emitting steam and
smoke aud it is thought will soon
be in a state of eruption. This mountain
can bo seen at sea for nearly 100 miles and
will be of great good to navigation if it
should become active, as the pillar ol flro
can be seen for a great distance and will
serve as a guide through dangerous
Oumarak passes.

John Hog, a young Allegheny resident,

New Castle. July 13. The manner in
which the census was taken In Mew Castle
continues to be tbe chief topio of conversation
on the streets. A telegram from Superintend
ent of the Census Mates, of Butler, states that
New Castle bas but 11.200, and tbe country west
of New Castle adds 2,000 more. Tbere was not
a citizen in the place but thought this city
wonld have at least 16,000. Prominent men of
both parties claim tbat tbe census as taken by
tbe enumerators here was but a farce, and
this town Is but a fair sample of bow It was
done all over the country. There is a great
wall bere and an effort is being made to hare
another count.
It is supcested by a committee of citizens
that the German Empire plan ot taking the
census be adopted, namely: A resident of each
street is appointed, and required to show up the
names of the people on that certain street
This can be done in one day, as it requires but

They are not,
but like
all counterfeits,
they lack '
the peculiar
and remarkable
qualities of

Ask for

Month of July,
If there's any sand firm
enough to hold it up, common
clothing'll have to find it this
month. Expect a loud hue
and cry over prices. Expect
shop windows full of fabulous
reductions. We can't put
Wanamaker clothing on a par
with that sort Its prices all
along have been based on
solid value in it. It's too re
liable to cut and run. It
hasn't been how much will -it
bring ? Our rule is As low
as it can be. We'll go ahead
by that rule.
Where lots are broken and
not to be held, prices are low
ered, and dollars to be saved
to you.
Great quantities of and low
prices for Thin Goods.
Tailoring to order well done:
2,000 styles of goods.
