The almost unanimous sentiment as brouskt
ont at the first meeting of the Grand Army Day
Committee this year, held in Select Council
chamber yesterday afternoon, was that Grand
Army Day be held this year. It was equally
unanimous that the parade be done away with
and that a reunion or something of that nature
be held Instead of tbe old manner of celebra
tion. There was a pood attendance of delegates
at the meeting, though several of the posts out
side of the city had no representative present.
The committee completed tbe annual reorgan
isation by electing Comrade Edw. Fisher, of
Post S, Chairman; Comrade W. J. Patterson, of
Post 1ST, First "Vice Chairman: Comrade D. A.
Jones, of Post 151, Second Vice Chairman; Com
rade H. H. Beneongh, of Post 167. Secretary;
Comrade A. C. Frank, of Post 151, Assistant
Secretary; and Comrade Kdw. Able, of Post 259
Treasurer.
The great question of the day was gotten to
in quick order. All the posts present, except
one, were in favor of holding the day. All
were in favor of changing the manner of cele
bration, not one deslnng to parade the. streets
of Pittsburc again as has so often been done.
Pittsburg, therefore, will likely loso Grand
Army Day which has annually been a treat
occasion to ylie city entirely. It is scarcely
necessar x tell whac has caused this. Had
the business men of the citv willincly con
tributed toward defraying the expenses
of the dav it would pmbably never
have been suggested that it be discontinued
here. Now it will likely go to some outside
town where it will be properly appreciated.
The manner of the celebration was not decided
at the meeting. The matter was referred to
the new Entertainment Committee for consid
eration. This committee will report at the
next meeting. The new entertainment com
mittee is formed thus: Comrades Bnrchlleld,
of Post 152: Wood, of 41; Rolshouse, of 151;
Harvey, of 230. and SDeer, of 3. The commit
tee adjourned to meet next Saturday in Select
Council chamber at 3.30 P. M. ,
A meeting of the new Entertainment Com
mittee was held immediately alter the ad
journment of the general committee. The
members will inquire into the eligibility of
several places at which to celebrate the day.
Among those under consideration are Idle
wild. McKeesport, Schenley Park, Rock Point
and Beaver. The committee will be pleased to
hear from any outside town which thinks it
onid be a good thing to ha7e the Grand Army
of the county in its midst, and will present its
claims to the general committee with pleasure.
Much interest Mill be taken in watching where
tbe prize will go. Three, four or more enter
prising pots conveniently grouped might now
secure Allegheny county's Grand Army Day
for their vicinity. We wUl,likely know the
outcome iu a weed

Tost 151' Day of ttensnrc.
nothing bnt fun was had by the members of
Post loland their friends who went along
from the time- they embarked for the picnic at
Castle Shannon Grove on Friday morning
nntll they returned in the evening. It was the
most successful picnic the post ever had and
'everybody had a grand time. The old boyB
were wonderfully limber at the various ath
letic games and some of the "young" men who
were seen gracefully gliding through tbede
, ilightf nl dances with the ladies fair, are known
J.to carry rebel lead everywhere ihnm n-h.

lyWohn More-laud and Comrade Powell was cer-
rw m. 'v a
nHhn 1 in iiiiiiiiiiiiiiirfiriiiMiiiir f mnmi'iif i "litrtf
talnly a creat game. There Is no telling what
the score would have beeu had Comrade More
land been feeling better. As it was the score
was 21 to 10 In his nine's favor. Comrade Mc
Grath distinguished himself as a quoit pitcher.
Comrade Barr caned everybody. Through Com
rade Denis' wheel of fortune the comrades got
enough jewelry to last them foryearstocome.
Comrade Aias kicked all the wind out of the
football, and it is suspected that to bo around
at all now hemiust have used a big supply or
St. Jacobs oil or something else. Comrade
Jones enjoyed himself looking after the wel
fare of the participants, and he succeeded ad
mirably. The lunch prepared by the ladies of
Colonel J. W. Patterson Relief Corps was ex
cellent and satisfactory in every way. It wasa
most enjoyable affair all through, and will be
remembered most pleasantly.
For Sweet Cbnrlty' Snke.
A striking evidence of the charitableness of
the Grand Army was shown recently by an
action of Post 3. Comrade Shaw and his wife
were ill with typhoid fever and Mrs. Shaw died.
The post had been assisting the unfortunate
comrade and his wife, and when the latter died
the funeral expenses were borne by the post,
as the couple were in straitened circumstances.
After the wife's death the post continued to as
sist the sick and bereaved comrade, and soon It
transpired that the house in which he lived and
which he had bought and had not fully paid
for was about to be taken from him. There
was a mortgage on the houxe, which
was on the point of being foreclosed:
the payment were behind, and the taxes had
not been paid for six or seven months. The
post appointed a committee .which hustled
around, bought the mortgage, made the pay
ments, paid un the taxes, and the property
will be held for Comrade Shaw until he regains
his health andean take tbe oouseoff the post's
hands. This is but one of the many Instances
of the nobility of tbe Grand Armv. And yet
the question has been propounded by ill-meaning
persons, What is the Grand Army fort

GATHERED FROM THE ARTISTS.
r
W. R. Wheeler, of Hartford, has painted a
portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson for a distant
relative of the sage of Concord,
Frank D. Briscoe, the marine painter, has
gone to tbe Pacific coast, where he expects to
spend several months sketching in Washington
and British Columbia.
THE"Augelus" is now being exhibited in
Buffalo, together with the paintings of Ve
restchagin. Millet's masterpiece will not go
to England for some time yet.
Two panels for what is described as the
most beautiful banking room in the conntry
have been designed by Walter Crane, the En
glish artist. They are intended for the ceiling
ot tbe office of the Society for Savings iu Cin
cinnati. For the first time in the history of the Salon,
it is reported that tbe medal of honor has been
awarded to a landscape painter. Louis-Francois
Francais, the winner of this unusual honor,
is 76 years old, and began life as an apprentice
to the book trade la Paris.
Commenting on the fact that none of the
pictures of tho Society of American Artists,
exhibited in the Chicago Art Institnte, were
sold, the New York Slime says: "The way to
get the Wild West to buy American pictures is
to exhibit them in Paris or London."
"The Victoria Era," on which Hnbert
Vos of London is engaged, promises to be tbe
most gigantic painting known. The canvas
alone costs 2,500, and the space to be covered
by paint is 20,000 square feet. The sketches are
made on another material and thrown on the
canvas by lime light, so that the outlines can
be sketched in. The work is done by pupils of
Mr. Vos and French specialists.
Charles L. Hutchinson, the President of
the Art Institute, of Chicago, has bought 13
old masters from the Princess Demidoff.
Among them are a portrait by Rembrandt of a
young girl in the uniform of a charitable insti
tution, leaning out of a window: "Tho Guitar
Lesson," by lerburg; a tavern scene, by Van
Ostade;"The Hall of the Guards," byD Tan
iers. and the portrait ot a joung man, by Franz
Hals.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts, of Philadelphia, has Issued its announce
ments for the season of 1890-'9i and the circu
lar of the Committee on Instruction. Tbe
school year will begin on Monday, September
29. Dr. George McClellan will begin tho
course of lectures on art anatomy on Monday,

hibits will be January 17, and tbe date of clos
ing March 7. The thirteenth series of Ger
mania concerts will begin October 23, with the
regular orchestra of 38 performers, under di
rection of Charles M. Schmitz, conductor.
A BEATTTlFtTL little still-life entitled "An
Evening's Comfort," the first of Mr. William
M. Hartnett's works ov.er brought to Pittsburg,
is to be seen at Hacke's. The gem for it is
one is very small and the work of the artist,
so almost painfully conscientious in its atten
tion to detail, is on very minute lines. The ob
jects represented are a table cofner, on which
are scattered a brass candlestick covered with
verdigris so natural looking that one's mouth
almost puckers at sight of it; a cool-looking
stone beer jug with pewter lid; several books,
one in a battered condition; a box of long-cut
tobacco, some of tho weed dripping from below
the half-open lid; several was matches whoso
amy has been fulfilled; a sheet of music, every
note of which is legible enough to read and be
played from; a flute with cracked ivory joint,
and, most true ot all, an upset meerschaum
pipe, the tobacco and live coals from which are
scattered over tho music sheet, and the paper
is just about to light from the coals, which
fairly glow in their brilliant color, while the
smoke descending from the pipe really appears
to waver and shake from side to side over an up
ended book. Mr. Harnett Is a Pbiladelpbian,
now located in New York. His Works are ex
tremely valuable, for owing to his devotion to
detail they aro not many, and each one is well
worthy preservation as an example ot Its school.
He has worked since 1877, being now 42 years
old. He is Irish by birth, and commenced life
as a newsboy. He studied in England, Frank-foit-on-the-Main,
Munich and Paris, and his
pictures have hung lu many valuable collec
tiong and exhibitions.

Financiers Predict a Continuance of
Good Times Throngh the Fall,
THE VALUES OF PAKK PR0PEUTY.
Embryo'lilc Millionaires Make Some Lucky
Strikes In the Windy-City.
CLOSE COMPETITION ON FIFTH ATENDE
It is now almost certain that there will be
a heavy business the coming fall. Financiers
whose business it is to see three to six
months ahead seldom make a mistake. They
predict continned good times. The basis of
the present prosperity, and the faith in the
future, is excellent crop prospects. Statistics
show a large gain in the volume of business
during the expired half ot this year over
the same period in 1839. Bank clearings
for Jane were 7 per cent greater than for
June of last year. Facts like these have
good effect. They prove that the purchas
ing power of the people is steadily increas
ing; also that investments in reproductive en
terprises are growing rapidly. Fortunately in
all this activity the spirit of speculation is kept
under control. There is no wild expansion of
values in any direction. ,
Vnlucs of Park Properly.
Shere was considerable talk during the week
eeardto tho ultimate value of Schenley
Park property. The statement of Mr. Howley
that it would realize $400 a foot within five
years was doubted by some and indorsed by
others. AH agreed, however, that enhance
ment was certain from the fact; now apparent,
that It Is destined to become one of the finest
residence districts within the city limits.
In regard to values on the Allegheny City
parks, they seem to vary as much as elsewhere.
In the location, between Esplanade street and
a square or two above thot railroad on North

Mllllonnlres ot the Future.
As has been stated in The Dispatch, within
the past year a nnmber of well-known Pitts
burg investors in Chicago realty have appar
ently struck it rich. Mammoth business enter
prises have long been seeking sites for their
plants In the windy city. This, with the great
impetus given the city by tbe absorption of
largo tracts of rural land, and independent of
the stimulus of the World's Fair, has caused
ah advance in real estate which amounts to
almost a boom. Many investments made on tho
quiet by Pittsburgers have already, it is
claimed, yielded rich returns. It is well known
that those of John Walker and Heny Phipps,
made through one firm and .aggregating oyer
$806,000, have nearly doubled in value within
the past 12 months. Another syndicate, com
posed of Pittsburg men, it is stated, has made
a round $100,000 by a single fortunate stroke in
realty.
The latest instance of good fortnneto Pitts
burg people investing in Chicago realty, is the
consummation of the gigantic deal between the
Northern Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio
Kailroads, by which, throuch the purchase of
160 acres in the western part of the city, upon
which they will erect costly improvements,
they have secured what has been desired by
thema new suburban railway,' and also a
transcontinental route from ocean to ocean.
Thetractpurchased by these corporations lies
midway between and practically adjoining tbe
Grant Locomotive Works and a body of 100
acres owned by Joseph K. Cass and W. McK.
C. Lyne, of Pittsburg, and George W. Cass, of
Chicafb. The Illinois Central and the Balti
more and Ohio will build handsome depots in a
very short distance of this tract, which will
make it very valuable. It has already ad
vanced over 50 per cent, according to the state
ment of one of the owners.
If all the ventures of Pittsburg investors-ln
Chicago realty turn out as well as those above
mentioned are reported to have done, the list
of local millionaires will include a number of
new names before the next census year comes
around.

The various States and the Department of
Agriculture reports show the crop prospects of
the country to be np to the avorace to date.
Some sections have suffered from drouth and
other portions havo been visited with heavy
rains, but the general outlook is favorable. It
is an admitted fact that agriculture is the un
derlying industry of the world. With abundant
breadstuffs all over tbe conntry prosperty
reigns and business is remunerative. Farmers,
as a general thing,' are In good spirits. They
have been able to do but little In tbe way of
improvement for severaf years, but with a
steady advance in grain and an average crop
this year, it is probable that they will make
many needed repairs.

STEADY BUT DULL.
The Ontlook Favorable to Better Times for
Local .Securities. p
There was scarcely any trading in local stocks
yesterday, but tbe board was well covered with
figures to keep Up quotations. Ten shares of
Electric brought 38, a fractional advance, and
US subscription rights in the same stock
realized 15 cents a share. The last previons
sales were at 25 and 50. Switch and Signal was
bid up to 15 on the report of increased earnings
of the company. The rest of the list showed
no material change, but steadiness was the
featnre.
Brokers are still hopeful of improvement.
The hot season will soon be over ana fall trade
set in. Additional circulation provided for in.
tbe silver bill has inspired confidence and will
develop greater activity in all branches of
trade, and it is reasonable to suppose that the
speculative interests will feel the stimulus.
Tbe outlook is favorable to better times for
local securities, whether they shall be realized.

THE WEEK IK OH.
Trndlnc Nothing to Bras; of, But tbe Feellnc
Decidedly Belter.
There was a better feeling in the oil market
the past week than for some time previously,
although trading did not show it. Confidence
is especially! discerned in the tenacity with
which the longs fhold onto the commodity and
the evenness of qnotations at the, various ex
changes, the difference being so slight as to
practically wipe out the occupation of the
scalper and pyker.
The better temper is attrlbnUfl mainly to the
movement for the listing of the Buckeye prod
uct, brokers being almost unanimously of tbe
opinion that the addition of 20,000,000 barrels to
'tbe marketable stock will improve trade.

SATUBDAY SLOWNESS.
Saear Trust Stock Monopolizes the Market
and Bnt Llttlo lao Wa "Hold Lartfo
Shipment of fepecle for the Week.
New York. July 19. The stock markot of
to-day was a fitting tender for that of yester
day, as only 21,220 shares marked the dealings
in listed stocks, and 21,059 of unlisted stocks, of
which Sugar Refineries furnished 20,793. A
market in which Reading furnishes only 100
shares. Northwestern nothing, Lackawanna
only 300. and nhen the largest sales in any one
stock is only 3.080 shares, and that a specialty,
the trading calls for little comment.
The interest of tbe day was centered in the
dealings in Sugar Refineries. Silver Certificates
and Citizens' Gas, of Brooklyn. Sugar contin
ued its rise of yesterday upon the favorable de
cision of tbe general term and scored a further
advance of 1JJ per cent to 77, but at that
figure plenty ot stock came out, and it retired
quickly to 75. and after some fluctuations of
small fractions finally do ed at its lowest point.
Silver Certificates advanced again, but only
reached 109. The guneral list presented a
firm front, but failed to move except slight
fractions. Rock Island and Louisville and
Nashville were rather strong, but their move
ments were devoid of Interest The market
finally closed Intensely dull, which even the
bank statement, with Its comparatively small
loss In surplus reserve, failed to move, at about
the opening prices. The final changes are in
no case for more than a fraction, Sugar being
down JJ.
Railroad bonds warn dnll nnil steadv. as
stocks and the business reached very few is-
aues in wnicn there was nothing ot interest
whatever. Tbe dealings reached only $362,000.
Government bonds have been dull and heavy.
State bonds have been entirely neglected.
Exports of specie from tho. port of New
York last week amounted to $2.170.18L of
which $2,328,181 was in gold and $112,000 silver.
The imports of specie for the week amounted
to $110,838, of which 598,057 was in gold and
$12,781 silver.

Chicago Grain Market.
CHICAGO Wheat Only a fair business
was transacted to-day, and the feeling was
somewnat unsettled. The opening was K?a
higher, ruled firm and advanced 2lc more,
then eased off, declining c and closed about
1c higher than yesterday. The early advance
was attributed largely to the buying of a promi
nent local trader, though helped some by tbe
tenor of European advices and export news
There were some foreign buying orders, and op
erations were rather bnUisb. .
Corn There was a fair trade within narrow
limits, and the feeling prevailing was compara
tively firm. The market opened c under
tbe closing prices of yesterday, was easy for a
time, then sold up c, reacted a little, ruled
steady then closed a shade lower than yester
dav. Oats Tbe market was active arid at times
rather excited, and prices averaged higher.
Tbe opening, however, was ratber easy on re
ports of rains in Nebraska, and fair selling and
prices receded slightly. There was good cen
eral buying, and the weakness was ot short
duration. Prices were bid up JJc for tbe
more deferred futures. July opened lc higher,
receded -z, rallied to opening figures, but re
ceded c. August declined He being sup
p orted by a prominent local operator.

A Hope Church Miner's Hopeless,
Case,
A RAILROADMAN'S ADVICg j
"I was under the care of six different doo 3
tors. Six times I placed myself under
medical treatment with the hope of getting
relief, and each time I was disappointed.
Each one of the six doctors left me in as
bad, If not in a worse, condition than I was
when I placed myself under his care. I
had given np the hope of ever getting welL
I was too 'weak to work and had spent
nearly all my money for doctors and medi
cines." It was Mr. Al Jordan, a miner of Hopa
Church, Allegheny county, who was talk
ing to the writer.
"One day," Mr. Jordan continned, "I
met Mr. Stepp, a foreman on the Pennsyl
vania Kailroad, who lives in the same town
I do, and who was then being treated by
Drs. Copeland & Blair. at.6C Sixth aye.,
Pittsburg. He felt that he was being re
markably benefited himself and advised ma
to lose no time in .consulting those phy
sicians. I placed myself under their cara
at once and, as a result, as you see yourself,
I am well and strong.
"What was my condition when I placed
myself under their treatment? Well, I
will tell you. To begin with, back in March
I had a good deal of sickness in my family.
I had to be np day and night, until finally
I had a nervous breaking down that almost
prostrated me.
Mr. Al Jordan, Hope Church.
"I conld not sleep at nigbt. In tbe mornins
I would feel weak and tired. It seemed as if
my sleep bad not rested me.
"My headaches kept me miserable most of
the time. There would be almost constantly a
dnll. aching pain in my forehead anu across
tbe bridge of my nose. When I would stoop
over suddenly dark spots would float before
my eyes and I would have a dizzy, swimming
sensation.
Ibe least light would make my eyes water
and feel weak. My nostrils would clog np first
one side then on the other, and there would be
at times considerable discharge.
"About this time I found I was steadily losing
in flesh. I became weak and despondent. Is
seemed as if I had no energy or ambition. The
trouble in my bead and throat grew more
steadily. I wonld have to be constantly raising
and hawking to clear my throat.
"A dry, hacking congh set in, that was worso
In the morning. Something would stick in my
throat that I could not get np or down. Sharp
paln3 would take mo in tbe chest at times
about the region of tbe heart.
"My appetite was weak and fickle. At times
I could hardly bear the sight or smell of food.
After eating tbeie would be a sensation in my
stomach as if there was a load or a weighs
there.
"Now. as I said. I feel strong and welL My
bead and throat no longer trouble me. My
appetite has returned. I feel no more distress
in my stomach. I sleep well and get np in the
morning feeling refreshed and well able to
work. The restoration accomplished by Drs.
Copeland & Blair Seems to me almost a
miracle."
