r SrECIAL TELEQBA.M TO THE DISPATCH.
Moxosgahela City, Fa., September
6. Next week, probably on Wednesday or
Thursday, an entirely new organization,
bearing the title of "The Guild of Eoyal
Americans," will be inaugurated in this
city. The project is backed by some of the
most prominent and wealthy citizens, and is
to be a sure go.
It has peculiar and unique features. The
object oi the order is said to be to unite
fraternally American citizens, whether
native or foreign born, of good moral
character, who are socially (and physically
if for beneficial membership) acceptable, lor
the purpose o: promoting "patriotic princi
ples, a better knowledge of the Government
of the United States, its constitution and
rights of citizenship; to educate all in the
proper reverence Tor the flag of our country;
to uphold the free pnblic school system; to
advocitc industrial education, temperance
and lraternal sociability; to assist each
other in obtaining employment, encourage
each other in business, and give all moral
and material aid m its power to its members
and those dependent upon them. It has a
lite insurance plan the amount not to exceed
3,000 or less than S500; has a weekly relief
tystein duiing sickness, and intends to establish
a loan and investment fund, making it possible
for everv member to own his or her onn home,
as the ladies are not to be excluded.
A charter has been granted by the courts of
Washington count), 'iheie are 'to be supreme,
htate and subordinate guilds, and the order is
expecteu to spread through the country gener
ally There are to be sc eral classes of mem
bership. FOUB DirTEBEJTT BEKEFITS.
Class A is called the "benefit fund, payable at
death only." Only first-class risks able to pass
rigid medical examinations will be admitted to
this class. It is to be run on the monthly assess
ment plan, and the beneficial certificates will be
issued for 11,000, S2.000 and 3,000. Assessments
are to be graded In accordance with age, Ac.
Class B is a "benefit fund, with life insurance
without local medical examination." The apl
plicaut fills outa fctateincut of his or her physic
al condition by answering several tpecific ques
tions. This is intended to cover those cases
where nervous people are afraid of a personal
medical cxamiuatiou. The be?ehts range from
EoOO to J3.UI0. nbtained by monthly assessments.
The assessments remain the same all through
ltfe in this i lass.
Class C is termed the relief fund, from which
weekly benefits are to be uaid to members who
are disabled cither by sickness or accideut.
This money is to be raised by proportionate
assessments only as required. The time for
which benefits will be paid ranges from 12 to 20
weeks in any one year, being proportioned by
terms of membership in the order. Here fol
lows a new idea. It is called "practical frater
nity." and provides for irom 11.00 to f 10,000,
payable in ten y tars or less. JCo medical ex
amination is required. It costs $5 a month for
$1,000, and proposes to give J2 for SI at maturity.
All payments draw jearly interest at 4 per
cent, and after one year the whole amount of
the certificate will be loaned to the member for
the purpose of building a home If so desired.
Class D is a co-operative enterpi lse on the
geneial plan of the loan and building societies,
embracing the endowment and tontine idea
now so popular. It is- to be run on the assess
ment plan, and the prospectus declares that in
from seven to ten j ears the money will doube
itself.

Karnes are being rapidly enrolled here, and
the order promises to be ery popular It hag
long been the desire of foreigu-born citizens
whi have a patriotic feeling for their auopted
cuuntry to haesoineuch method of express

native-born citizens, but men of foreign birth
who are leallj American in heart, will be wel

just now in the proposed change of name. The
vote is to be taken on the last meetin" night of

amount of trouble. A. A. Alles, a prominent
member of the Southside. has just returned

a false Idea that the Western councils are so
anxious for a change. Indeed, he says some of

continue to use the old name, independent of
the old organization, in case the chance is
made.

WOOD STREET LANDHAEK DOOMED
Movements in Eeal Estate and EeTiew of
the Building Situations.
THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
From every quarter come reports that the
business oi the country Is on a solid footing.
This is distinctively true of Pittsburg, the
volume of transactions being the largest
ever known, and wealth rapidly increasing.
This is independent ot speculations, which
is as gauzy here as Ctesar's ghost to the eyes
of Brutus.
All this is very encouraging, and is an
earnest ot still better things to come, for
there is nothing in sight or prospect to
arouse apprehensions of a reaction or even
a halt m tho forward movement. The outlook
is favorable alike to capitalist.and toiler.
A Change on Wood Street.
Another landmark it doomed. For some
time the building on the northeast corner of
Wood street and Third avenue, belonging to
the estate of the late William Thaw, and used
as a printing office and depot for Fairbanks
scales, has been considered unsafe. The execu
tors of the estate have, therefore, decided to
tear it down and erect a handsome business
block in its stead. As a preliminary step
toward this improvement, the occupants have
been notified to vacate the premises upon the
expiration of their leases next April, when the
work of demolition will begin. The lot is 41x120.
This is one of the oldest places on Wood
street. The building has been used in connec
tion with the printing business for 35 or 40
years. The present occupants have been there
since 1862. The new building will be six or
eight stories high, and architecturally in keep
ing with the best modern structures in the city.
Business In the Country.
The rapidity with which the surrounding dis
tricts are being improved and settled, as a re
sult of the introduction of rapid transit, fur
nishes many opportunities for active business
men to establish stores for supplying the wants
ot the people to whom a visit to the city proper
for everything they consume is a matter of
considerable time and expense.
Quite a number of these business "openings"
have been filled, as shown in the tasteful dis
play of goods on many of the subnrban streets,
but the field has not been completely occupied;
nor will it be until every district has its own
commercial thoroughfare supported by the
residents of the Immediate vicinity.
Ou Its Feet Again.
There was a marked improvement in busi
ness in real estate circles last week, not only
in the number of deals consummated, but in
the broadening tendency of the Inquiry and in
the disposition, of seller and buyer to meet
each other on equitable terms. Values re
main steady, with no special change either
way, except that good business property is
more firmly held owing to its scarcity. This is
true, also, of choice residence sites In the East
End-district.
A real estate man was recently asked by a
well-known capitalist for advice as to the most
profitable investment of money. The dealer
responded that the surest and safest way was
to erect houses suitable for working people.
the scarcity of which is a strious drawback to
the city.
Buslneai Hews and Gossip.
One share of Exchange stock was sold on
speculation yesterday at 8450, buyer 90 days.
The Duquesne Traction Company may not
extend its line into Wilkinsburg at alL The
sticking point is the insistence of the Borough
Council that the company shall giro an indem
nifying bond against all damage that may ac
crue to adjoining property by tunneling under
the railroad. Tracks on Franklin street have
been taken up and work entirely suspended.
An effort will be made to have Council recede
from Its position.
M. F. Hippie & Co. have enlarged their office
area ana made other improvements in keeping

A constable in the Thirteenth ward yesterday
levied on a tenant's goods for non-payment of

damages is threatened.
The grade on K'rkpatrick street, from Wylla
to Webster, has been established, and paving
will begin as soon as material is delivered.
The most important of 23 mortgages on file
yesterday was for 810,000. Five were for pur
chase money.

Outcome or the Week's Business New Fea
ture Scnrce Price Changes.
Stock trading during the week was of the
usual perfunctory sort, sales being compara.
tlvelyfewand far between. Brokers showed
their philosophy, however, by keeping In good
spirits and hoping lor a speedy tnrn in the tide.
Such perseverance deserves reward.
As compared with the close of the previous
Saturday the finish showed improvements in
Philadelphia Gas, Central Traction, Citizens'
Traction and Switch and Signal, and declines
in Pleasant "Valley, New York and Cleveland,
uastoai, .Ulster, Electiic and Airbrake, all
for fractions except New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal, which dropped three points.
The bank list was pretty well covered, bnt
there were no trades. These stocks are seldom
dealt in on 'Change, but the quotations made
there are accepted by investors, who pick up a
largo amount of theui in a quiet way.

THE WEEK HT OH.
Business So Slow ns to Discourage Oper
nior Finelnatlons and Sale.
The oil market yesterday was even more than
usually unsatisfactory to all concerned except
the Standard. The Pennsylvania product
didn't open nntil nearly 11 o'clock, and Buckeye
not at all. Five thousand or six thousand bar
rels of the former changed hands, bnt tho lat
ter was entirely neglected, as it had been all
week, not a single sale being recorded. The
highest bid for it was 34, but the standing
figure was 3
All iu all the week was full of discourage
ments; for although clearings were respectable,
as things go, the feeling was less hopeful than
before of a material improvement, all expecta
tions so far proving illusive. The result greatly
strengthened the faction favorable to selling
toe .xcnango building, .fluctuations ot Penn

The Florence, Col., Jleflner says: "The good
fortune of the Rocky Mountain Oil Company
in striking a generous flow of oil at its No. 2
well insures to this city the erection of another
refinery. It Is also stated that the company's
works will not stop with a refinery alone, but
lubricating and paraffine works are also to be
erected at the same time. The conmany will
doubtless endeavor to get readyto capture Its
share of next winter's large trade in oil."

NEW YORK STOCKS,
Intensely Dnll In Wnll Street Tome nnd
Henvy Opening Trust Stagnant
DIsnppolnment In tbe Bond and
Silver Purchases.
New York, September 6. The stock mar
ket to-day was still intensely dnll, and the mak
ing of quotations were again given up to the
bearish traders, who were inclined to go slow,
however. The expectation was that the bank
statement would show a further reduction In
the surplus reserve, and the hope was not dis
appointed, the deficit being now over a Sf,000,.
000.
Tbe opening was dull, tame and heavy, and
first prices were generally from to per
cent lower than last night's figures, but tbe
changes in the first hour were very slight and
even the weak stocks showed no marked weak
ness. Later.however, the pressure became stronger,
and In Illinois Central. Milwaukee, Lake Shore
and Western, and Burlington and Qulncy
material losses were sustained. Illinois Central
became active and declined from 107K to 106V;
Burlington from 08 to 9 and Milwaukee.
Lake Shore and Western preferred from 107
in 100. aueresboi iub 11st jouoweu, due me
other changes still remained slight, and gener
ally without significance. Even tbe Trusts were
stagnant and .-bowed no feature whatever. The
market finally closed dull and heavy to weak
at tbe lowest prices, which, in most cases, were
only slight fractions nnder last night's figures,
Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western pre
ferred, however. Is down 2 per cent, and Illinois
Central and Burlington, after slight rallies, Ji
per criii fauu. &
Railna'l bonds were dull as usual and the
only feature of the day was tbe continued
strength in tbe Colnrndo Midland 4's, which
further advanced to 72, again of 2J per cent,
while tbe usual stagna'ion existed in tbe rest
of the Issues traded in. Tho sales were only
(402.000, of which (181,000 were in Colorado
Midland 4's.
Government bonds dull and steady. State
bonds neglected.
Exports of specie from the Dort of New York
during the week amounted to (62.620. of which
(2.620 was in gold and (60.000 silver. The im
ports of specie for the week were (839.925, of
which (465 405 was gold and (37.4,521 sliver.
The Post says: There has also been disap
pointment in regard to tho effects of tbe bond
and silver purchases of tho Treasury in releas
ing money. Those who have made elaborate
calculations upon the figures of tbe monthly
statement of the Treasury claim that all the
silver purchases so far have ouly put (1,300,000
of the new Treasury notes Into circulation,
partly because tbe new notes are Issued In de
nominations too large for use; also that all the
bond ptirehases In August to the amount ot
over (30.000,000 only resulted In tbe actual dis
bursement of about $21,000,000 ud to August 31,
and finally that the net addition to tbe circu
lating capital of the country from these dis
bursements In August was only a little over
(5,000,000. Tbe imports at the port of New
York have fallen oS very greatly in August,
but tbe Treasury is still an absorber of money.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat Active but Weaker on a General
Desire to Dnlond Weather Report
Unsettled Corn Oats a Shade
Lower Pork Strongrr.
CHICAGO Wheat Quite a good business
was transacted to-day, mostly on local accounts.
The market opened firm and prices a higher
than yesterday, sold off a trifle and then started
up, advancing Jc, became weak and prices
declined IQIJic fluctuated some and closed
about ;c lower than yesterday. There no
doubt was an effort on the part of operators
who bought yesterday and before to get rid of
some of their wheat at the early advance, but
others were not disposed to take this wheat.
and a3 soon as they saw what was going on a
sharp break followed, there being a more gen
eral desire to sell. Some advices reported
tbe Northwest as buying on account nf bad
weather there, others claimed the Northwest
had sold expecting more liberal receipts next
week. Millers, it ls'said. sold here against their
purchases of wheat up there.
Corn was actlvo bnt unsettled and fluctuating
frequently within a lc range. The influence on
the market on the one side wis tbe favorable
weather and the free selling of May by two
Urge local operators, which had a depressing
influence. On tbe other hand the apprehen
sions of colder weather, a dispatch from St.
Paul predicting a tall of 18 to 30 degrees.and tbe
good buying for St. Louis account bad a stimu
lating effect to the market. First trades were
at a slight advance, after wbicb a decline of V,
QYjS- was reached, then declined c, and agaiu
ruled firmer and closed with H&0 gain.
Oats were quiet and rather easier, especially
for May, in which tbe bulk of the business
transpired. Prices for tho last named month
fluctuated freely within a range of c, and
closed a shade lower. j
Mess Pork Considerable business was trans
acted, but tbe feeling was unsettled and
nervous. Early prices declined 1520c. Prices
rallied 2Go22c but settled back again 57c
Nearly tbe close the prices rallied to outside
flures and closed strong.
Lard A moderate trade was reported, chiefly
in tbe early deliveries. Early a reduction of 5
f!Ho was submitted to. Later prices rallied
again, and closed comparatively steady at out
side figures.
Short Rib Sides A fair degree of activity
was manifested.. Opening sales were made, at
yesterday's closing figures, but later prices de
clined 2c About tbemiddlo of the session
prices rallied 25c, and closed firm at outside
figures.

ETVEB INTELLIGENCE.
Inauguration of the Fall Trade Under Tery
Fnlr Auspices.
Tbe fall river trade was inangurated under
fair auspices yesterday. The rains of the past
few days have given the opening of tbe winter
trade two months' earlier start than last year,
and It is thought by river men that a rise is due
to-day or to-morrow from the headwaters of
tbe MonnngaLela. Yesterday afternoon the
heavrsn were murky, promising heavy rains
within the coming week. Local rains
had the effect of raising the river
several Inches during Friday night and
Saturday morning, which enabled a few of the
boats to land from below. The Pittsburg and
Cincinnati Packet Company received freight
yesterday in expectation of arise coming, and
a boat Is on the way lrom Cincinnati to take it
out to-morrow. A carloTad of niannfactured
glass for New Orleans parties was put off atthe
wharf yesterday, and the company has con
tracts to carry glass all next week. Two packets
from the Kanawha river are en route to take
freight for points on mat river. There was
sufficient freight to load the boats to the water's
edge placed on tbe wharf yesterday.
Six feet was what the marking stone regis
tered at 6 o'clock last evening, and rising slow
ly. At Davis Island the Ohio was up to 4.6 at
the same hour, with tbe wickets still up, but
This is 1890.
A Wise Choice.
New York, July 23, 1850.
All other reports on Baking Powders signed by me or pur
porting to be signed by me are based on investigations made
several years ago. ,
In view of the present controversy as to the purity ana whole
someneas of baking powders, I have been requested to make a
chemical examination of the leading brands found in the market.
My analysis of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder verifies
the statement on the label, that the only ingredients used are
cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda (both of the highest purity),
and a little flour to preserve the strength.
My analysis also shows that "Cleveland's Superior" is free
from ammonia, alum, or other substitutes.
Owing to the purity, strength, effective
ness, and constancy of composition of
Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder, I
have adopted the same for use in my home.

Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is sold by Geo. K. - Stevenson
Co., Wm. Haslage & Son, Kuhn & Bro., John A. Renshaw & Co., James

MOTHERLAND SON
Describing the Experience of Young
Roy Johnston.
a notableTrecovery.
A mother never speaks with, more inter
est and enthusiasm than when she is talk
ing about her boy. This was very forcibly
impressed upon the writer a short time ago,
during a conversation with Mrs. Ida Johns
ton, now living at Duquesne, but formerly
and for a number of years resident at No.
162 Forty-fifth street, Pittsburg. She make
the following statement regarding the suc
cessful treatment of her son, Boy Johnston,
br Drs. Copeland and Blair.
( Spii. afSEjJ wifeil
Master Hoy Johnston, liuqurtne.
"ft is perhaps because I had myself been
treating with these physicians and had se
cured more benefit from them than from
any other doctors that had treated me, that I
felt so much confidence in them. Anyway
when I entrusted rav son to their care I felt
sure tbey could enre him.
"It wa three months ago when I took him to
their oface for treatment, nis condition at
that time was seriono and painful. In tbe first
place be bad a swelling on bis neck which was
not understood by the other doctors who had
examined him. Tbey had ordered it painted
with Iodine, which only seemed to make It
worse. Dr. Copeland made a thorough ex
amination of Roy and told mo there was some
thing back of this swelling including con
siderable catarrhnl irritation wbicb must be
removed before the sn elling could be cured.
"The trouble had extended until Roy's gen
eral health was very much affected. His eyes
were weak and watery, and the lids would be
cemented together in the morning when ha
awoke. His noso would continually clog up,
and so much mucus would be secreted that
during bis sleep he would have choking spells.
These would alarm mo so much that I would
often have to send for bis father during the
night and have him doctored.
"It seemed to us that he was hardly ever
without a sore throat, ne would have ear
aches a great deal of the time. A dry, backing
cough came nn which seemed to weaken him
very much. Sbarp pains in the region of tho
stomach would frequently distress mm.
"In addition to this be became so flighty and
nervous during his sleep, that bis father cams
to the conclusion that something must be aone,
and it wjs at his solicitation that 1 took him to
see Drs. Copeland dc Blair.
"Tim was three months ago. "Soir bis head
and nottrils and throat no longer trouble him.
His eyes and ears are entirely well. His stom
ach troubles him no more. His appetite is
good. He cannot get enough to eat. His re
covery far exceeds our most sanguine expecta
tion. I will gladly say this to those who will
call on me in person."
A SINGULAR INSTANCE
Showing One of the Many Conditions Catarrh
May Produce.
The statement made by lire. Ida Clay
pool, of Scotch Bottom, one oi the suburbs
of Pittsburg, is interesting and notable,
especially as showing one of the various
distressing conditions that may arise from the
extension and neglect of catarrhal trouble.
Mrs. Claypool describes accurately the con
dition in which the catarrh had left her, and.
narrates briefly her fortunate experience in
treating with Drs. Copeland Blair. She says:
"When I first called upon these physicians I
was afraid to tell them how serious my condi
tion was. fur at leas:
ten years I had been
suffering from ca
tarrh of tbe whole
intestinal canal.
These organs were
in such an irritable
condition all through
that period of yeirs
that at no time could
I eat anything that
would not pass
through me in a few
minutes just as it-w as
taken into my mouth,
without a particle ol
tlii'etion.
"I grew weak and
emaciated. S great
was the strain on mv
system that oftentimes I did not have tbe
stre"gth to drag one foot after tbe other.
I tried physician after physician, bnt tbe
medicine only eemed to aggravate the
trouble, and it was with a heavy heart I en
tered Drs. Copeland & Blair's office, as 1 did
not think there was any possihdity of their
curing me.
"At first I did not tell them my real condi
tion. As I said berore. I was afraid to, but
somehow tbey seemed to comprehend and
understand more than I" told them. From tbe
very first I began to improve. Then I told
thein all, and ob, how glad I am that I did. For
1 am to-day a well woman again. My friends
are constantly congratulating me. and I think
mv recovery little less than miraculous.
"I want you to put what I have to say In the
papers. Please say that mv gratitude to tbe
doctors knows no bounds, an'd it will be a pleas
ure to confirm what I have said to anyone who
will call nn me personally at mv home."
