TI1E STOKI OF A CEUBKATED SALNT Wlio Dared to Sbnt the Giles or a Chmcb in the Erapcroi's lace. tcoitr.r:sroxiE!CE or the Disr-ATcn.i Milan, August 1. With Bradshaw.and Boedeker, and Brown, Shipley & Co. for companions, one niav go anywhere over the continent of Europe, askinc no questions and in-iktng no blunders. Without this trio of counselors, the -wayfaring man, though he might be many removes from a fool, might easily err therein. Especially if he were acquainted only with the tongue in which he was born. It is true that traveling is made very easy nowdays. At every considerable hotel there is a porter or concierge who knows bow to speak hotel English, and whose business it is to meet and greet the English or American guest, and to attend to his wants during his stay. Still, with all tUU, he who travels without a Boedeker under one arm and a Bradshaw under the other, runs great risk ol losing his way. As for Brown, Shipley & Co., or some substitute for that excellent banking institution, the tourist cannot make his pilgrimage at all without them, unless he carries his money in some sort of uncom fortable money belt about his waist, and lives iu daily dread o! robbery. Of course, there is Cook or Gaze. The traveler may, if he chooses, put his journey into the conduct of an agent, join a party, and so ecape all responsibilities, all anxie ties all need for casting up accounts and reckoning change in some half dozen differ ent kinds of money, all necessity even for thinking. He may make his journey with out paying any bills, or feeing anv waiters, or wondering even for a moment where to go next and how to get there, lie may be personally conducted. DISADVANTAGES Or THE TLAK. Now, for people who like to be personally conducted, being personally conducted is lust the sort of thing they like. No doubt, it does save a multitude of minor worries. But for people who do not enjoy seeing things in a crowd, and who like to linger and look twice, and who have a fancy for occasional solitude, the pergonal conduct plan is not a pleasant one. We saw a good many parties under charge of tourist agents. They tisited the whole of Westminster Abbey one day a personally conducted party did the whole of Westminster Abbev from the Poet's Corner to the Shrine oi Ldward the Con cssor, while we were looking at two or tl ree monuments in the nate. It is bad enough to be shown about by a verger and to have to listen to his sonorous orations, hut to take two months ol that kind of penance, day in and day out must he wearying. The personally con ducted seldom looked as if they enjoyed it. As for the idea that bv going with a party you can travel more cheaply than by going alone, there is nothing in it. You can go irom London hack to London, taking in the ;; pirtoi Europe, visiting Antwerp, Co lo.rij(. Heidelberg, Nuremberg, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Milan, Lucerne, Inter laken. Berne, Geneva, and Paris, and buy vour own tickets, and pay only about 5S0 'or them. And you can go systematically to the best hotel in every city and never pay m much as 53 per day, except in Paris. Traveling on the Continent is not expensive. And as tor the notion that a journey from Antwerp to Geneva is so very much more complicated or difficult than a journey from Pittsburg to Boston, there is no loundation for it. l'ou may have to change cars some what oftener, but you cannot make a miss, l.ierythtng is made perfectly clear. It is a good thins, however, to get tourist tickets iroin Look or Gaze. If yon know where you uant to go jou can buy all your tickets be forehand aud save yourself that bother But as .or the personal conduct part, that is best left for those who like it. KELIAI1LE CONDUCTORS. Boedeker and Bradshaw are the best con ductors. Bradshaw gives the time tables of every railroad in Europe. In this compact volume, printed in small type on thin paper, but (juite plain enough, aud arranged in the mutt accessible way, you can tell exactly when your train starts, what are the stations on the line, where you change cars, and at m hat hour you are to get to your destina tion. Upon a folded map at the beginning o the book is laid down every line of rail road, with numbers referring to the page of the book where the time table of this road ud that are to be found. Not oniy this, but Bradshaw will tell you just how far one place is from another, and exactly how much the fare is. And everything else that you want to know is to be found in Boedeker. The wise tuiinst never ventuies out of doors without ii Boedeker m his pocket. Boedeker will tel! yon what the hotels are in the plice wiirrc vou are to stop, setting a star aja.iist the names ol those which i cin especially recommend. He will tell v u ju't where the hotel which you choose J-, and what their charges are. If the town i oi.e cl importance he will give you a map ff the streets, to that you can stroll about in it as 11 you had been horn and bronght up there He will tell you where the postoffice i, and the best rest mrants with their rates, :md where you must go to getthebest photo graph of the town, and where to find the American consul, or even the American dentist, who is an important and esteemed functionary over here If you are bibu 1 usly inclined he will direct you to the finest beer. If you smoke he will tell you where you can get cigars. Whatever at tractions the place has, Boedeker will re c unt them, tell you just what you want to kuow about them and where they are, and at what hour they can be seen,"and what vou ought especially to notice and what the ees are. AN ACCOMMODATING GUIDE. If there are picture galleries he will give vou a plan oi them, and instruct you how to hod the 20 or 30 pictures which you care especially to see. If there is a cathedral he w I tell you all its points of interest and beaut. The brevity of the descriptions, wtiah are at once concise and ade quate and answer Drecisely the questions which you wish to ask, and the completeness and thoroughness of the whole work are matters of daily wonder to the pilgrim, and of daily gratitude. With Boedeker and Hradshaw a journey through Belgium or "vustrra is even easier than a journey rough Pennsylvania or Ohio or New urk I rom Venice to Milan. The first thing ' Milan Cathedral. Sr.ch a vast reach Mone floor, such a height of great col umns, and of arched roof! Milan Cathedral is larger than Cologne, out it lacks the two lnc spires which make the German cathe dral glorious aud wonderful. The roof is beautilul and elaborate beyond comparison. Cologne Cathedral is nothing to it in its magnificent details. But the lack of great spires makes it look low. Still when you ciimb up and get out among the sculptured spires you have no wish to criticise even if t on had breath. From caves to topmost pinnacle the great marble roof of Milan Cathedral is covered with the most delicate carving. Spire after spire rises up, a vast forest ol white shafts, all about you, and every one is crowned with the statue of a saint, sometimes in conflict with the dragon of evil at his feet, sometimes holding up the banner of victory, sometimes lifting the hand of benediction, saint after saint 2,000 of them, they say, altogether high as you can go you are in the company of the apostles and martyrs and confessors. There is nothing equal to this anywhere. And thrust in'everywhcre, among these stately and sublime figures, are the little gargoyles, the carved mouths of the water troughs, as grotesque as can be imagined heads of hideous animals, grinning devils, faces of men laughing, crying, in pain, in derision, set in all manner of contortions. GROTESQUE FEATURES. That is a queer thing about the old cathedral builders. Xou find it everywhere, inside the churches as well as outside, and as much in England as on the continent. The grotesque obtrudes its fooi's face in the most sacred places. The corbels along the bases of the arches of the chancel roof are grinning heads, sometimes of monks making taccs; sometimes with an animal tearing a man's ear, the man's mouth stretched out in sympathy; sometimes the blaekbird of the old nursery rhyme nipping somebody's nose. The'misereres of the choir stalls are like the pictures of a fifth century Puck. The humor of the old monks seems to have run riot here. The sanctity of the church did not deter them. Milan Cathedral was at its best the morn ing we were there. They were having some solemn service, which filled the great spaces of the church with the voice of music, and sent up clouds of incense, amid which glowed the lights of the altar like dim stars seen through a veil of mist The church was full ol praying people. The bread and wine for the Lord's Supper were brought into the chancel by two old men and two old women, from whom the priests received it, with much state and ceremony. Over the altar of a side chapel in the nave is the old wooden crucifix which St. Carlo Borromeo carried about with him as he did his brave work in the plague days in Milan. I looked upon it with reverence. If I had said five paters and five aves at the shrine I might have gained 10,000 years' indulgence from the pains of purgatory. A promise to that effect was set forth on a printed placard with the Pope'B name at the bottom. But I passed by. The most famous saint who ever had his dwelling in Milan was a greater man than the brave and good Borromeo. It was St. Ambrose the righteous bishop who dared to shut the gates of the church in the face of the Emperor of the East and West. It is an old story how Theodosius in a seizure of wrath caused a great number of people in Thessolonica to be massacred in.rcvenge for a fancied insult, and how Ambrose refused to admit him to the company of Christians till he had repented aud done penance and made what amends he could. I saw the old gates that were barred against the most powerful ruler in the world. They are very plain old doors of wood and iron, but they are as fine as the cathedral in THE LESSON WHICH THEY TEACH, and finer. They opened over into a church which represented impartial righteousness. and had no respect of persons a good kind of church to have in a bad world. It is in Milan that one can sec all that is left of one of the greatest piptures that was ever painted Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper." It is on the wall at the end of a large room, which was once the refectory of a monas tery. The monks have been dead these many, many years who sat last at dinner in this long room. The monastery was long ago dissolved. It is the guard room of a garrison of soldiers now. The picture has suffered mnch from lack of care, and the paint is badly flaked off and dinned. Even while the monks were here they cut a door through the lower part of the picture. But with all the dimness and imperlection of the great painting, it is still finer than anv copy. The face of the Master, who is saying. "One of you shall betray me," the look and gesture of the Apostles, who are crying out, "Lord, is it 1?" nobody has vet transferred out of Da Vinci's painting into his own. I missed the over-turned salt celler at the elbow of Judas, which we see in the engravings, and could find no trace o it in the original. I hope that the great cathedral and the great painting have some uplifting influence upon the Milanese, aud that the memory ot their fine old saint bus some helpiul inspira tion tor them. But the casual tourist sees small traces of greatness or goodness. Under the very shadow of the cathedral is a book stall where novels are sold, printed in the French language, and written and illus trated by the devil. And the book-stall and 20 others like it seems to have plenty of customers. Even the finest of cathedrals may not save a city. G. H. ALL THE NEWS.

TRAGEDY OF A BOOT. Bloody Shoes on a Murdered Actress' Feet Betray the Assassin. FOOTWEAR DSED ON THE STAGE. Lotta Kicks With Dainty Shoes and Minnie Palmer Wears No. l's. SONG AND DANCE AND 0PEEA STILES rCOHHESPOXDENCE OF TUB DisrjtTcn.. New York, September 7. "Professional people, don't you know, are necessarily very particular about their footwear," said a bright little soubrette, at supper, after the play. She displayed a neatly fitting stage boot that set off the trim, round ankle to perfection. "Shoes stage shoes cost us lots of money, especially in parts where there is a good deal of fine dressing. It used to be different before the stage wardrobe formed tiie im portant part it now plays in dramatic per formances. Kow a leading lady mut have as many pairs of shoes as she has costumes. They must match or harmonize with the rest of her outfit Even variety people, and all of us who do dancing parts, must go .nicely booted, for all eyes are on our feet. And shoes thus nsed must be replaced as soon as they show the least sign of wear. A good many actresses spend more money for shoes than most ladies in private lifo spend for dresses in the same time. "Women like Lotta and Minnie Palmer buy from 10 to 20 pairs of shoes at a time." WJIAT LOTTA KICKS WHIT. "Are they relatively more expensive than those worn by other people ?" "Oh, yes, indeed! But go down toHirsch's shoe store, corner of Grand and JCenter streets, and they'll tell you all about it. It is where most of us go to get stage shoes." This was a tip. I went. It is an unpre tentious establishment, though it covers a good deal of ground, and the lower floors were piled up with job lots of shoes of all kinds aud prices. The house deals in man ufacturers' stock and samples and also has a large retail trade. Manager Meyer politely responded to all my queries. "I don't know how dramatic people got to coming wav down here for their shoes. The custom Just grew from one woman to another, I suppose, and the actors followed suit. We don't make a specialty of stage shoes, though we have a good many profes sional customers. Yes, Lotta is one of these. Here is a pair we have just finished for her, for when we haven't the right thing iu stoek we make it to order. It is a cute little shoe," he added, noting my admira tion. "One and a half." ABOUT FOOTIylGIIT FAVORITES. The "cute little shoe" rested on the little old wooden counter. It is called the "Turkish Sailor's" and has Imt. L. X. V. heels whatever that is is low cut, with red morocco top running irom a point at the throat where it meets with a dainty, narrow red ribbon, down to the red heel. The por tion of upper which covers thd toes and ball of the foot is black patent leather. A very simple shoe taken all in all and one that looks as if it might be found in stock at any fine store. But it can't and therefore must be made. "We've sold the charming Lotta a great many shoes, as high as 20 pairs at a time. She has a prettily shaped loot, and has her own taste in dressing it. I think she has had 20 pairs within six months. Minnie Palmer, also, has a pretty foot still smaller than Lotta's. Miss Palmer wears l's. She gets a great imany shoes, too, probably a good many abroad. Her husband, Mr. Rodgers, is also one of our customers, and is quite as fastidious as his little wife. Annie Pixley comes here. She has a well turned foot. There is Miss Voders, with Thomas Keene, I believe; Felix sisters, Clara Coleman, Irwin sisters, Lena Mer ville and her sister Marion Elmore, Annie Hart, Maggie Cline, and, oh! lots of those people And among the actors, M. B. Cnr tis, 'Sam'l of Posen,' you know, Lester and Allen, Pat Riley, Frank Bush, Donaldson I can't remember half of them who come every week. BONG AND DANCE BOOTS. "Song and dance and all variety people are particular abont their shoes quite as much so as those of the legitimate. They want them just so, and don't care for the price if they suit. They will be measuied, and will come again and again. Prices range from 56 to 525. Yes, it does seem high, but a good many shoes you see on the stage cost irom $10 to $18. Here is a pair, now," he went ou, taking a curious looking article out of a case, "worth 525." They were a pair of ladies' opera boots apparently, buff calfskin, lacea up the side and topped above the calf with four inches of amber satin. "No; they're for a song and dance artist. The tops, you will notice, are all one piece, and are shaped to lace closely over the calf ol the leg and nearly to the knee. They are not usually worn. Dramatic people like novelties in foot attir; and are ready for anything that combines utility with beauty and novelty. Now mark the contrast. Here is a pair of what we call 'Adalina Patti's,' from the fact that she introduced them here." A DAINTY PAID. He displayed an exquisite little shoe ot low counters, cardinal red leather, lined with soft white downy fur. The lur fluffed over the edges iu the most inviting way, as if eager to embrace the foot of any divinity delicate enough to claim their protection. The heels were fully an inch and a half high and gracefully turned. They were as dainty of shape and size as could have been imagined by the inventor of the fabled slinper of Cinderella. There were many other enrions pairs in a big case. One sweet thing, the "Pompei opera." with lonir narrow soles and pointed Turkish turned up toes, in embossed leather hand-painted Chinese figures. Another, a delicate satin slipper for premieres danseuse, with the satin upper extending an inch bevond the sole to facilitate toe dancing. The sole itself is but an inch and a half in width at the widest part and is without heels. Looks like a long baby shoe. There were endless varieties of high-legged military boots, for both ladies and gentlemen. "We recently made a lot of these for the 'Shenandoah' company," said the manager. "They were all burned up, I believe, in the McVicker Theater fire at Chicago. Fred Warde, the tragedian, has his boots made here, also Joe Murphy and several leading men' of as many companies. Most of the women reporters on the dailyjpapers are our customers. Nellie Bly got her round-the-world shoes here. She wears high-cat 23 bntton and pays 58 to $10 a pair for them. BURLESQUE BOOTS. "Yes, that is a nice little boot bur Iesquer." Referring to a pretty little thing in pale morocco and embroidered satin. "A hi there is a curious story connected with a companion pair. I don't think it has ever been printed. I picked up the last threads of it only a short time ago. It is a tragedy of the boot." "By all means let me have it," and your scribe sharpened his ready pencil. "I don't suppose anybody remembers now the discovery of the body of a young woman in an out-o!-the-way-spot in a public park or garden in Berlin a couple of years ago. A three line cable told the tale at the time. The woman was unknown. Investigation showed that it was a case of foul play. She wore good clothes and a pair of stage boots of pale morocco and embroidered satin tops. Just why she had them on in such a place will probably never be known, for they are so delicate the evening air would spoil them no one wears them outside of the theater. It was naturally supposed that she had been taken out aiter the plav or between the acts, and had never returned. There were marks of a struggle, and as her ears were torn and the skin broken on her fingers, the pur pose was evidently robbery. A TEAOEDY. There was blood on her boots. There was nothing to identify her, and after a iew days she was buried unknown. The Berlin de tectives toot her to be a Parisian and de cided that she was of the dramatic pro fession, but were unable to place her. They finally concluded that she was the inmate of some one of the many music halls and dives about the German capital and ap parently let the matter drop. One of these detectives, however, sent the boots to a iamons Parisian detective with notes of the. case. The latter took it up and succeeded in finding the shop in Paris where snch theatrical articles were made. Without tellinprauytbing about the case he pulled one of the little boots from his pocket in the presence of the foreman of the establish ment. The man declared at once that they were made in his shop. He had others there just like them for burlesque and comic opera people. A search of the books revealed no clew, however, to the purchaser. You see, if we make a pair to order or even deliver such goods we will have the name and address very often the company the artist is with on our blotter, like this," exhibiting an ordinary sales order book. "Well, just as the French detective was about o give up the chase a workman suggested that the little boot be passed around among the hands to see who made it. That man might remember the circumstances. TRACING THE MYSTERY. "This was done, each workman examin ing the boot in turn. While they all agreed that it was made in that shop, everyone denied having made it. Finally, one man asked permission to remove the lining. " 'Nothing,' said he, 'only I think I can tell you who made It. There'll be a cer tain mark inside.' "Consent was given, and out came the lining, and sure enough there was the private mark of the workman. " 'That was made by Jacques ,' de clared the man at once. He no longer works here.' " 'Where is he now?' asked the detective. " 'In America. " 'Where in America? When did he go there?' "The man didn't know. He only knew that Jacques worked next to his bench a couple of years before; that this was his private mark, and that he bad gone to America. But he let fall the remark that Jacques was a queer fellow, and not only marked every bit of work he ever did, but kept a private record ot the famous stage beauties who wore the products of his skill. He haunted the theaters where they played and the cafes on the grand boulevards where they sat by day and sipped their brandy and ansintne. ON THE TRAIL. "This awakened the liveliest hopes in the breast of the detective. He was one of those fellows who delight in a mysterious case. The greater the difficulties the more earnest ly he set himself to work to fathom it. So he immediately communicated with Inspector Byrnes, and in a short time received such assurances as prompted him to come across the water himself. You see, it was evident that such a workman would be likely to be found where his skill received the highest recognition, and the manufacture of such goods is carried on mostly in New York for New York consumption. The French detective brought the dead girl's boots with him. There are several places in the United States where theatrical lootwear is made, but in course of time the maker, Jacques , was traced to our shop. They not only lound him, but found his Parisian brother workman's story of bis peculiarities was correct. He knew of every famous dancer, opera singer, burlesque or other theatrical person be had ever made bhoes for, and at once recognized his handi work in the bloody shoes of the dead un known of Berlin. By referring to a little memorandum book kept in his native tongue he identified the purchaser a: Mile. , who traveled with Aimee in her trip to America several years ago, then with Lydia Thompson. TRACKED TO DOOM. "He even described the woman from memory, satisfying the French detective that the deid girl and Mile. were identical. With this information the de tective returned to Paris and easily traced the haunts of the girl, who, by the way, was a very merry individual, and the character and personality of her male companions. Slowly and surely he wound his web of cir cumstantial evidence about one oi these ad mirers, or hangers on, until he felt that he was ou the right track at last. "This particularone was a dissolute young man who haunted the green rooms of Paris ian theaters and spent a good deal of money ou those women he picked up there, as long as his money lasted then he lived by his wits, most of the time off of the acquaint ances of his prosperous days. He was often seen in Mile. 's company. Iu fact she was infatuated with him. They were tracked to Beilin, where the girl went with a traveling burlesque company. One night the detectives found him in the very same spot where the body of the murdered girl had been lound two years befoiel A THRILLING CLIMAX. It was the first time they had laid eyes upon him. From that .moment they never took eyes off of him. With that singular infatuation often found in criminals, he hauntedhe scene of his crime. There was evidently a terrible -fascination for him in the spot. He could not keep away from it. His actions gave him away when there was really no other evidence on which to convict him. Finally the detectives, shrewdly con cluding that taken under suspicious circum stances he would break down, seized him at night alone, right where the crime was com mitted. They were correct he did break down and confessed then and there, but claimed that the girl's death was accidental. Well, he was tried, convicted and " "Hangedl" "No, he escaped by personating another prisoner, a German." "And he got away! Two years' detective work and " "No, hold on in attempting to es cape from the country he fell between the wheels of amoving railroad train and was ground to pieces!" A fit ending to the taleof the bloody boot, surely! Charles T. Murray. BLACK ONYX HOSIERY FOR LADIES, 25c, 35c, 38c, 48c, 50c, 56c. A new lot of Balbriggan (extra quality), 25c.

Tho English Tr-nlnlns School For Boys and girls at Carry University being under the direct instruction of the best teachers in the institution everyday gives these students advantages that cannot be had in any other Pittsburg school. Parents desiring the best instruction for their chil dren should remember that in these classes the average student learns more in two years than he can in three years in other schools. The rates here are as low as other schools, while the time saved to students is worth many times the cost of tuition. A three years course in school for nothing is much dearer for a 16-year-old boy than a two years' course that costs 5150 and does as much for the boy. The best is always the cheapest. Hone and Males.
