THE PITTSBUEG- DISPATCH; TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 9. 1S90. i WHAT WOULD HAPPEI Such a Treltj Kettle of Fish There Would he Should Katural Gas Suddenly Give Out, and a EETUHN TO COAL WERE KECESSABT Fourteen Miles of Cars in Addition the Present Would Slock the AYaj Every Day to to THE DESPaIE OP KAILEOAD MAXAGLES, But Etrtral Thousand lien Would Find rrcfltaWe Employment. There are some people in this city who be liere that natural gas is about at the expir ing point; and there are bo me, too, who would like to see it give up the ghost. But has it ever occurred to the opponents oi this fuel what would be the condition of Alle gheny county if the supply should fail, and a return to coal, or coal made fuel, were rendered compulsory? Chaos! A recapitulation of the estimated amount of coal which tbc large works in the county would require in the event of a return to coal will proTe interesting. The National Tube Works would take 25,000 bushels daily; American works, 20,000; Oliver's works, 20,000; Painter's mills, 15.000; Re public, 10,000; Pittsburg Forge, 7,000; Vul can Forge, 4,000; Chartiers mill, 2,000; Star, 5,000; La Uelle, 2,000; Eagle mill. 2,000; Singer, Nimick, 3,000; Clinton mill, 4,500; Sligo, 5.000; Glendale Spike, 3,000; Byers' mill, 4,500; Anchor mill. 2,500; Elba works, 4,000; Soho mill, 5,500; Keystone mill, 4.000; Pennsylvania Tube Works, 2,500; Pennsyl vania Forge, 2,000; Kensington, 2,500; "Wayne, 3,500; Sable mill, 5,000; Shoen berger, 6,000; Howe, Brown, 6,000; Car negie, Union, 11,000; Black Diamond, 8,000; Carbon, 2,000; Solar, 3,500; "W. D. "Wood, 4,500; Jdillvale works, 6,000, Etna, 4,500; Vesuvius. 3,500; Spang works, 2,000; Linden, 2,000; Crescent, 4.000. ilOKD OF ME SAME Kllf D. At the Edgar Thomson, Duquesne and Bessemer works at Homestead, about 30,000 bushels daily would be required for fuel gas. Twenty-nine window glass houses, at an average ol 400 bushels, and 40 flint houses, atan average of 200 bushels, would consume daily 10,000 uushels, and another 20,000 would be used by such works as the Star Firebrick "Works, Keystone Bridge "Works, Braddock and Oliver wire works, the railroad shops, etc This would mean a total daily consump tion, exclusive of domestic use,of over 296,000 basnels. At 300 bushels to a car, 987 cars would be required to haul this amount, and taking a car as covering 30 feet ol track, these cars would extend through a distance of 29,610 feet, or over five miles in length. The question obviously presents itself: How would this increased volume of traffic be handled? Every shipper of coal is ta rniliar with the difficulty at present experi enced in getting his shipments forward, and if that condition exists now, how much more in evidence will it be when another five miles of cars to say nothing of the tonnage for domestic use has to be provided for -ach day. Even in the palmiest day of natural gas, when every one had more than enough, and coal was a product unthought of, the rail roads had as much traffic to provide for as they could handle. Since then the volume of the business in iron and steel has fully doubled itself. At no time prior to 1885 did the amount of finished iron and steel exceed 2,500 tons, and pig iron was under 2,000 tons per day. MORE CALLS TOR CABS. Now the volume of finished material is upward of 7,000 tons daily,! and the output of pig iroD, as stated in a former issue of The Dispatch, will reach 4,000 tons by the end of the year. The raw ma terial required for this amount of pig iron will amount to over 1G.000 tons, which will require 800 cars, at 20 tons to a car. To assemble the raw material and transport the fin'shed product of the 7,000 tons will re quire 750 cars more, or 1,550 cars altogether. This would mean a line of cars nearly nine miles in length, and, together with the coal haulage, a total of 14 miies of cars devoted to the business of the iron ana steel trade alone. Between 12 and 15 trains of iron ore are shipped to this point every dav, and about 100 cars a day are needed for minor indus tries, making another mile of cars in addi tion to the foregoing. How railroad mana gers could solve the problem of the rapid handling of such an addition to their busi ness is a matter which would give them some trouble, and they except from a busi ness point ol view may not desire to see 'ral gas shut down. irsuing this subject farther, it will be id that employment to some thousands or i additional would result Taking 100 hels of coal as the day's work for a miner, :re would be 2.9G0 men required to work .c increased amount of coal. In. addition, ailroad men asd others would also have oc cupation, bringing upthe total to somewhere near 6,000 men who would be brought into requisition. These figures, however, would hardly mean an increase of population, as about that number find employment in lay ing pipe lines, working in pipe mills, etc, who would thus be transferred lrom one kind of work to another. KO PLACE FOB ASIIES. Perhaps one point, of much importance, should be mentioned. That is with regard to what would become of the ashes from all this coal. The banks ot the Allegheny and Monongahela no longer present their natural features at points adjacent to the mills. They have been used as dumping grouud for the refuse from the furnaces, and many acres of land bavc been reclaimed and turned to advantage in this way, while the natural channel of the streams was gradually encroached upon. At the Lucy furnace, somewhere about 25 acres of land have been filled in to low-water mark and utilized for side-tracking facilities. Sboen berger's mill is built upon ground made in this way. Should any return to coal be made the banks of the rivers would be resorted to as dumping grounds easiest of access. The re sult would be in an addition to the extent of the city's area, while curtailing the chan nels of the streams. Thete are some of the things that wonld occur should King Coal again do business at the old stand and the Iron City once' more deserve its appellation of the Smoky City. PITTSBUEG'S BETTEE THAK ANY.

Friend Ar rest! to be Diode. The body of Mrs. OIlie Grimes, of Johns town, a woman about 22 years of age, is lying at the Morgue, and a man who is suspected of having something to do with her death will be arrested. There is a mys tery surrounding the affair, and it will be sometime before it is cleared up. , Mrs. Grimes arrived in the city from Johns town yesterday morning and went to the rooms of a friend, Mrs. A J. Scorer, wife of a grip man on the Fifth avenne traction road, living in the Smith block, at the corner ot Wylte ave nue and Federal street. After dinner she went out, saying she was going to meet a friend, and at sapper time came back, saying her friend had gone to Ohio and she had not seen him. She ate supper and after leaving the table was seized with convulsions. She said to Mrs. Scorer: "For God's sake get my clothes and get me ont of your house. I am going to die, and I do not want to be found dead here. I do not want to make trouble for you and will go out and die on the street." Mrs. Scorer was frightened, and seeing the woman was sick, sent for Dr. Blumberg, living across the street. The doctor arrived and worked for an hour with the woman, but conld not bring her out nf the convnlsions. He worked with her until about 8 o'clock, when "she expired. Coroner McDowell took charge of the body, and had it removed to the morgue. Drs. Mc Candless and Blumberg will hold a post mortem examination this morning, and it is supposed they will find that tbo woman took a dose of poison. In her pocketbook was found her ad dress and the address of the man she went to visit. A pawn ticket on the Keystone pawn shop for a plain gold ring was also found, and inquiry developed the fact that she had pawned the ring, saying she had no money. Assistant Inspector Coulson was called out of bed, and started to look for the man whose address the deceased had in her pocketbook. He is a railroader, and will probably be appre hended. The Chief of Police of Johnstown was also telegraphed to for information about the woman. A special inquest will be held on the body at 2 o'clock this afternoon. CABLE CAR VICTIMS,.

Carnegie Library, Art Gallery and Museum to be on the bite. ME. CAENAHAN'S 11EM0K1 EEYEEED The result of the visit of Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works to En gland, where he had a conference with Mrs. Schenley in regard to the park entrance, was made known to Councils yesterday. Chief Bigelow's option on the 19 acres of ground at the corner of Forbes street and Bellefield avenue, was secured at the low price of $75,000.' This is less than $4,000 per acre, and real estate owners say it is al most getting the land for nothing. In two weeks work will begin on the entrance to the park, and the construetion of the Carnegie Library building will begin at the same time. The library, art gallery and museum will be located on part of the ground. Chairman James B. Scott, of the Carnegie .Library Commission,stated yester day that a meeting would be held as soon as the ordinance covering the matter passes Councils. CniEF BIOKLOTT'S LKTTEB. Both branches of Councils met yesterday afternoon, and in the Select branch a com munication was received from Chief Bige low to tbe effect that he had secured an option from Mrs. Schenley for the purchase of the 19 acres in Oakland, fronting 1,200 feet on Forbes street, for $75,000. The pay ments are to be made in three annual in stallments, the first falling due May 1, 1891. He said he had also prepared an ordinance to accept the offer, and another one giving the Carnegie Library Commission the right to occupy part of tbe ground for a library, art eallery and museum. The ordinance was afterward presented bv Mr. Keating, and re ferred to the Library "Committee. The work of tbe commission is subject to the approval of Chief Bigelow in regard to.tbe location of the different Buildings on the ground. The ordinance providing for tbe acceptance of this option under all tbe conditions named, provides in its second section that in order to provide for the first payment of purchase money the Finance Committee shall be directed to make and report in the appropriation ordi nance ot 1S91 an appropriation of $25,000 for the first installment. The third section Instructs the Controller to issue his warrant for the amonnt at the proper time. IMMEDIATE POSSESSION. No interest will be charged on the transac tion. Mrs. Schenley says the city shall have possession of tbe property Immediately after the proper passage of an ordinance accepting the option. Tbe land is, of course, subject to any leases made by Mrs. Schenley's agent prior to her execution of the article of agreement. The only conditions named in the article are that in the deed of conveyance, which Is to be delivered upon the payment of the final tAOOO. there shall be a dance limltatinz the issue of the property as an entrance to Schenley Park, but said limitation shall not prevent the use of a portion of said property for a site fur a pub lic library or art buildings or such institutions for the promotion of the arts and sciences as tne city may elect. The ordinance was re- i terrea to the "ark Committee and will be re turned to Select Council on the 29th. It will then go to tbe Common branch and will be a law. In the Select branch ordinances and petitions were presented and properly referreed: JOpen jng Helena. Junilla and Robinson strets; Hom ier alley. Fifty-third street. Watson street.

An ordinance granting the Suburban Rapid Transit Railway Company the right to use and occupy certain streets of the city was among tbose presented. Its provisions give privileges for single or double tracks, tbe use of electricity or horses, overhead wire system with necessary poles, all subject to the general ordinance re lating to street railways. The route of the line and details of tbe road was published in The Dispatch yesterday. The ordinance was referred to the Committee on Corpora tions. When the general ordinance relating to electric light, beat aud power companies came up for consideration Mr. Lambie objected to tbe penalty clause. He thought the fine im posed was not sufficient and that the sentence should include the immediate removal of any wires that did not accord with the other pro visions of the ordinance. Mr. Robertson ex plained that the penalty could be collected as many times as the city desired until the objectionable wire was re moved. If the offending company failed to obey the first order after paying the $100 fine the city conld sue tbe next day and tbe next until the objection was removed. Tbe ordinance was passed unanimously. The re ports of the Departments of Awards, Publio Works, Safety and Charities were read and adopted- The following ordinances were passed finally. Establishing the grades of Stanwix street from Grandriew avenue to Hatpin street, and Vir ginia avenue from Wyoming to La Belle streets; sewer on Cato and Juliet streets; open ing Kansas street from Hazelwood avenue to Geuesta street: directing the Mayor and City Controller to sign a petition for the trading and paving of Ledlie street, along tbe Bedford avenue basin extends the city being liable tor a portion of the expense. IN COMMON COUNCIL. A Number ofStreet Improvement Ordinances Harried Through More Water Rlnlns and Sewers to be Pat Down The City Has to Employ Non-Rrsldenia. In the Common branch Mr. Taggart offered a joint resolution authorizing the Mayor and Controller to sign a petition ior paving and curbing Ledlie street, Eleventh ward, where the city owns property; passed. The papers presented and referred were: Ordinances for sewers on Mahan street, Berlin alley, Dresden alley; opening Indiana alley.

WITH CHIEF'BIGELO'WS COMPLIMENTS. A Copy of ibe Work of Ibe Department Frs senteil to Connellmen. The members of Councils were eaoh yester day presented with i copy of tbe annual report of the Department of Publio Works for 1E89. Tbe report Is in the shape of jl neatly bound volume of 257 pages and contains a complete and itemized acobunt of all tha business trans. I acted In the department and bureaus under Chief Bigelow during the year 1SS9. A synopsis of the report was printed in Thb Dispatch March 2L MEMORIAL J0HIS WORTH. Toncbinc Words of Pathos and Praise la Honor of the Late Robert B. Carnaban A Joint Mcetlns; of Councils Eulogized Him. It would be almost impossible to pack more people into Common Council chamber than were there yesterday afternoon to at tend the joint meeting of Councils to take action on the death of R. B. Carnaban, late representative of the Nineteenth ward. Every seat was filled, with one exception, and that was tbe late Councilman's chair, which is still draped in mourning. Staid old business men and associates of the deceased jostled each other to get even standing room in tbe chamber. They occupied every available nook and corner and'sat upon the'wlndow sills, listening to the speeches eulogizing their de ceased comrade. Mr. Bigham, Chairman of.tbe Memorial Com mittee presented tbe minute urawn up by the committee. The following is an abstract of the memorial: "In 1861. he was appointed District Attorney of tbe United States fur the Western District of Pennsylvania and served under Presidents Lincoln, Johnson and Grant for nine years with honor and distinction. ENJOYED r.INCOLN'3 COWFIDENCE. He enjoyed the confidence of President Lincoln and Edwin M. Stanton, his eminent Secretary of War, to a remarkable degree, and was especially close during the dark and troublous days of 1862 and 1863, when the fate of the nation seemed to be trembling In the balance. On many occasions he was called into consultation with them, and was en trusted with importantcommissions. Upon his examination, report and recommendation, fol lowed bv an address to tbe Cabinet In Eerson, the suspension of tbe writ of abeas corpus by the President was decided upon in September, 1S6S, to prevent decimation of onr armies from dis charges of enlisted men bv tbe courts. In all these capacities bis ripe judgment, knowledge ot the law and painstaking labors have been of the greatest advantage to the public. The beautiful site so generously donated to the city by Mrs. Schenley for the purposes of a park was obtained In ereat measure bv bis in fluence upon and advice to that estimable lady, whose safe counsellor ho had been for many years. To his bereaved family we extend our most sincere sympathy In their affliction and the Council now directs that the foregoing be entered as a minute upon its records in public recognition of the services and as an endearing memorial to the merits of our late fellow-member." At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Bigham said that Mr. Carnahan's death inflicted a loss that each man In Councils felt as if it were the loss of a personal friend. It is often said that no man occupies a place in this world that can not be filled. This is largely correct, but the speaker could not but feel that the community at large and the Councils .of tbe city had suffered a loss that would not be easily re placed. In conclusion he said that although the world wonld go on for it stops for no man many hearts would miss him, and tbe speaker's was one of them. PSATSE AND PATHOS. Mr. Warmcastle spoke of Mr. Carnahan's ability at the bar, his literary knowledge and his profound and wide study. Mr. Carnahan's honest hatred of all that was mean and base had made him an enemy of trickery and cor ruption, and his training had led him to follow the truth, even if the path brought him across tbe men who were his friends; without desire to offend bis earnestness in following tbe truth made him oblivious to personalities. Mr. Lambie referred to Mr. Carnahan's loyal work during the war, praising him highly. He then took up the character of the deceased, saving he was noted for honesty of purpose and sincerity of .action. During his career no breath of suspicion was ever cast on bis official, public or private character. He was a pure man, and none ever heard from him al lusions to those things that men of honor de spise. The speaker said that it was inex pressibly sad that on the national holiday when the people of tbe city, headed by their honored Mayor, Had assembled in Schenley Park celebrating tbe acquisition of the great place that Mr. Carnaban had done so much to acquire, and were waiting there to do him honor, that he should be dying at his home. Mr. Keating said there were two qualities of Mr. Carnahan's character that gave him a superior place as a legislator qualities that would commend him to every man who loved tbe city. These were his honesty and his un selfishness. "Schenley Park," the speaker said, "whether it was ever ornamented by the features of the dead Councilman in bronze or cot, would be looked upon by the people ashls monument, and with the future generations no name would be more honored than that of nooerc n. Lamuan." bit. iuagee saia; -air. uarcaoaa was a man. To our honor and profit we knew him. I could go on and on and say no more than that. He was a man among men. Strong and earnest, and yet so kind that he offended none. To-day I pay blm no tribute. He stood for himself; be needs no word of mine or any other man to show that be was a man in tbe full, the true sense of tbe word." By a standing vote the report of the commit tee was adopted, and after ordering it en grossed and sent to the family, the joint session adjourned. THE FIGHT NOT ENDED. Shirns Says He Is Still In It Lively Scenes Scheduled for To-Dav's Convention One Man Arrested and More Are Prom ised. The Republican Congressional Conven tion in the Twenty-third district to-day will be fully worth the price of admission.. It will assemble in Common Council chamber, at 10 o'clock, and the red fire is scheduled for a few minutes later. Shiras will contest the seats of 17 delegates. The general charges are corruption, illegal voting and intimidation by the police. In seven districts it is alleged the police kept people from voting for Shiras. In the Second district of the Twelfth ward, and the Second district of the Tenth ward Mr. Shiras had a policeman and a City Hall employe up as his delegates. The day of the election, he claims, these men "Were notified by their su periors that if they did not withdraw from the fight their positions would bo forfeited. Mr. Shiras also clairas'tbat he has tbe majority of the popular vote, and expects to get the nomi nation to-dav. Tbe opening of the many developments which are to toliow to-dav was made last night, when, on information lodged bytbe Allegheny Republican Citizens' Committee, a warrant uas issued for the arrest of John Thompson, member of the election board in the First dis trict of tbe Twelfth ward. The charge is for violation of tbe election laws and was made before Alderman McMasters. The information charges that Thompson "knowingly and wil fully received tbe votes of people . not legally entitled to vote: that he suppressed and concealed ballots of several persons, and refused to deposit them In the box, and that he tore up the ballot of one man after it was cast." The Citizens' Committee is preparing other cases in other districts, and against parties somewhat higher in authority tban Thompson. The Stone men claim there is nothing to be feared. They say they have two-thirds or the delegates, which will entitle them to select the Committee on Contested Seats. Colonel Stone will make contests in four districts. SON OF A LEGISLATOR. He Is Charsed Wlthstenllne Stamps From - nn Attorney' OflUcr. Constable Helner entered suit yesterday against John and Joseph Mariana, keepers of a peanut stand on the corner of Grant and Diamond streets, charging them with receiving stolen goods. It is alleged that the defendants have been purchasing from a boy 2 cent stamps stolen from tbe office ot Thomas M. Marshall. Esq. The boy in question is the son of an ex member ot the Legislature, who every day at the noon hour quietly stepped Into Mr. Mar shall's office and appropriated all the stamps he could find in the drawers. The Marianas were arrested and held for a hearing on Monday next. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED. Incidents af a Dny In Two Cities Condensed for Ready Readlns. The regular monthly meeting of the Iron City Microscopical Society will be held in tbe parlor of the Pittsburg Library at7:S0thls evening.

People br a Large Vote F&Tor a Eepeal of Some of the Sine Laws. THE MUSICAL PROGEAMUHS FOE TO-DAT The youngsters bad it at the Exposition last evening. They appeared in droves, the result of the complimentary tickets issued by Manager Johnston, and spent their time in collecting cards, principally, but eating pickles and drinking tea they indulged in also to a great degree regardless of the con-, sequences and the sharp pains and sleepless hours that might follow. The appetite for cards seemed to be the most abnormal, how ever, and was possessed by all alike. Occa sionally a tip-tilted nose wonld be elevated a trifle more at the sight of a pickle, but never at a glimpse of a -card, no matter how plain and vnattractive the card might be and some of them are most decidedly unat tractive. But "everything went" with the little folk. It was really amusing to watch them as they passed and repassed and passed again before certain stands and booths, looking as innocent as lambs, but laying in a stock of cards that should last them until .next Ex position, without reckless extravagance. "I suppose if tbe electrical fountain doesn't electrify us this year it will next," said a slightly disappointed maiden to her more philosophical companion last evening. "Don't you know that the pleasure of an ticipation is often greater than the pleasure of realization?" was the somewhat dubious reply. Alf TJSKNOWIT QUANTITY. Be that as it may, the electrical fountain is still an unknown quantity. Heard on the promenade, which is be coming very popular: "Do you know we were out to Schenley Park last Tuesday and had the most delightful drive?" "Did you, indeed? I have been think ing" exit first couple, of plain, matter-of-fact, sensible young people. "Have you ever been out to Shinley Parkt" "No, I never have." "Then we'll go next weefc. on your day off." Exit second couple. "I say. Jack, it's quite the proper thing to drive in Sheenla Park now, and we must go out" "Certainly, my dear, we'll go to Bheneela, with the accent on the 'nee,M' replied the ever indulgent husband of the too-ultra-too dar ling. Mrs. Schenley wouldn't know her own name half the time conld sbe hear the various pro nunciations of it. Heard In tbe gallery: "The school exhibit is awfully funerel, without even a tinge of rose or gold to relieve the whiteness ot its decora tions." "They give cunning little bottles of whisky away here, if they know yon." In tbe art gallery: "That picture (referring to tbe one of the beautiful girl suicide) should be called At Kest' instead of 'Lost. " "The Last Appeal" makes me dreadfully In dignant. The poor girl's fa ce haunts me in my dreams." Heard in the main hall: "If Ihadsnchabed as that, I'd stay awake all night to admire it." "Have some tea, missf" "I have ja dined." "Just tbe time you should drink tea." "I bad coffee with my dinner, and I never mix armies." t OPPOSITION TO THE LAWS. It would be bard to find any set of laws that has been more discussed in these two cities than the famous old "Blue Laws.'' Arguments pro and con have sounded from the platform and the pulpit, but in each of these instances, the sentiments expressed have only been those of the speakers themselves. At no time has the voice of tbe general public been sonnded by tbat great principal and fonnding-stona.of the American Republic, tbe ballot. Yesterday The Dispatch put tbe question sqnarely before the people lor their answers, without being at all responsible for the result. Tbe question as voted on at The Dispatch headquarters was: "Do you favor or oppose the repeal of the bine laws, so far as they inter fere with the sale of soda water, lemonade, milk and tobacco on Sundayr" The attendance at the Expo, was rather slim, as all tbose connected with the great show were forced to admit. However, the number present made up such a composite gathering as wonld truly represent tbe people of a section, and a larger number from a philosophical view of tbe question, would numerically swell, without changing the general resnlt. The Dispatch headquarters in the Bruns-wick-Balke-Collender Company's space is well located, and It was noticeable tbat few people passed it yesterday without reading tbe ballot ing topic, and voting on it. When tbe poll books were closed in the evening and tbe votes counted it was found that tbe votes stood seven to one in favor of having the Blue Laws repealed, according to the conditions of tbe qnestion. Iu some instances regulation election methods were used by tbe visitors in hustling in votes on their side of the question. Indeed, this feature of the voting created no little amuse ment for the spectators. The polls were car ried on with strict adherence to the principle it proposed to demonstrate, tbe voice of tbe peo ple, and repeaters were marked off the book. If, through the rnsb, they were registered, and were not counted. "WOULDN'T GITE THEIfi NAMES. Some of the advocates of lemonade, cigars, etc., on Sunday, whose names would immedi ately attract attention if printed, sought their friencls and told them of the balloting topic, and hustled in their votes for a repeal of the Blue Laws. Another thing that was particular ly noticed was the fact that all residents of other cities who have occasion to spend part of their time in Pittsburg came up to the voting place ana registered in favor of repealing with a fervor tbat was amusing. Among those who voted were: Frank J. Moran, William T. Cook, John McKenna, Harry Brockett. H. John. C. Q. Watt. W. H. Hoffman. L. Belle Pattlson, R. W. Egan. W. R. Swann, 8. U. Reich, Theodore E. Kelt, Mrs. Quckenheim, B. F. Copeland. Albert Rein hart, Harry Bnmbart, Miss Ella Rectanns, James Reese, Frank Laughlin, E. Cramer, J. Kaufmann and Colonel M. Dawson. One woman voted to repeal the law, saying: "If the men conld get lemonade or soda on Snnaay they wouldn't bunt a speak-easey so often. A number said that they would vote in favor ot repealing tbe law, but for reasons of tbeir own. did not wish to go on record. Tbe topic for to-tfav's balloting will be found on the fourth page of this issue. The following are the programmes for to day's concerts: PABT I.

Take in this exhibit and study the advantages it presents.! THE HE NO TEA HONG The Drawing Card of tbe Exposition. Nothing appeals more strongly to the feel ings than the ability to rest when one is tired; therefore there is still another reason for the marked appreciation of the Japanese exhibit. The visitor ensconces himself in one of those great, roomy chairs with their broad arm rests, an. attendant serves a cup of fragrant, delicious tea, in which tbe aroma has been carefully preserved, and the tired and weary can at ease and with solid satis faction take in the charms ot this wonderful Japanese bamboo structure. The more you study it the more you are impressed with the peculiarities and perfection of this bamboo work. Apparently light and fragile, it is in reality strong and durable, and will bear a surprising amount of strain, and lasts an in credible number of years. Just as the building invites investigation, so does the He No Tea; yon call early and often, and with each fresh trial of the aromatic herb comes a more decided liking for the flavor. The taste grows upon you and you don't try to resist it So far as tbe reporter could judge it was net black tea nor green tea, nor a combination of the two; it was simply He No Tea, a product of Japan that is com parable with nothing else. Glancintr around the terrace you notice the curious porcelain six-sided ottomans, which the Japanese use as they drink tea at the odd shaped but exceedingly pretty tables per taining to that land. Sot a vaiiety and for ornament they are delightful but tbey don't meet American ideas of comfort. "When you see these things you realize that Americans are very Sybarites in all tbat relates to personal comfort; but we cannot make fine teas, and we know it, therefore we equalize matters by drawing upon other lands for what we must have. The He No Tea greets us at the threshold, and knowing a good thing when we meet it, we, as it were, take possession of He No, and it is ours so far as the exhibit is concerned they make it ours, for, without cost or price, they hand it out in the most liberal and generous wav. The cups are tendered you, you drink the contents, return the enp, and tbe great transaction is for tbat time concluded. By and by your return and rehearse the whole business ad infinitum. Verify the state ments for yourself if such unbonnded hos pitality is beyond your comprehension. The English Trnlnlns: School For Boys and girls at Curry-University Being under the direct instruction of the best teachers in tbe institution every day 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. Tbe 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 $150 and does as much for the boy. The best is always the cheapest.

THOSE ACHING TEETH Allegheny Tonngsters Suffering With Badly Swollen Face?, CAUSED BT CHANGING WBATHEB. An Old Theory Exploded and New Ideas Advanced by Dentists. SALT WATEE BATHING'S BAD EFFECTS Little fellows of 5 years of age and up ward, with their faces encased in numerous bandages, and the only visible portions of tbeir countenances covered with a look of agony, have been so numerous on the streets of Allegheny lately that it has sent out a rumor of an "epidemic of toothache." "One woe doth tread npon another's heels, so fast they follow," 'tis said. First 'the physicians have their day, or rather month, cashing checks on account of some disease. Now tbe dentists are made happy by having one after another walk into their offices with the painful remark, that a private molar is mak ing trouble and mnst come out. Pittsburg dentists laugh at the idea of an "epidemic of toothache," but that is not at all queer. Even good physicians sometimes smile blandly when business is unusually brisk. The fact that it is not a smiling matter for the patient does not enter into the case. For the past few days business has been on the "boom" among the dentists, especial ly with children ranging in age from 6 to 16 years. The little suiierers wale in, heroic ally take their places in the chair and sit patiently while the dentist deftly works bis way around the offending molar, and soon the little jumper is lying helplessly by on the operating desk. It will nevermore cause tbe youngster pain and sleepless nights, and he views tbe deposed kicker with no little satisfaction. SOME CUBIOTJ3 FACTS. Dispatch reporters yesterday talked with several of the leading dentists of Pitts burg and Allegheny on the subject of the trouble prevalent.among the children at the present time, and some curious and inter esting facts were secured. How many mothers have denied their little ones sweet meats, chewing gum, etc., with the excuse that it will ruin the teeth? One ot the old theories that sweets are not good for the teeth has done more than almost anything else to prevent a big boom in the confection ery business. But the young man whose best girl has pearly teeth of great beauty can no longer Eire an excuse against buying candy, as one of Allegheny's prominent dentists said yesieruay mat tne tneory tnat canay rnineu the teeth is entirely wrong. Dr. James Hamilton, whose office is at tbe corner of Ohio and Arch streets, Allegheny, is authority for the above statements. In reply to questions rejraruing the reported prevalence of toothache among the Northsidcrs Dr. Ham ilton said: "Yes. cases of toothache are more numerous now than is usual, especially among children under 16 years ot age. The causes are many. With children the trouble is in the first or 'baby teeth.' Tbey catch cold, their stomachs get out of fix, and it gradually works up into their teeth, which have to come out. The changes In the weather cause more tronble with tbe teeth tban any one other tbing. It is especially bad when the change Is from warm to cold, though going from cold to warm also causes trouble. "Very few would believe that tbe teeth are about the most sensitive parts of the human body. A change of climate often works ereat harm to a splendid set of teeth, and it is never good for them. You have often noticed that a change In drinking water literally upsets the stomach, but do you know tbat such a change works as mnch barm to tbe teeth?

Salt water bathing works sad destruc tion to tbe teeth, on account of the fact tbat they are not used to th9 treatment. Tha chances in the atmosphere at tbe seashore as sist In the destruction. Persons livmz near the ocean and who have bathed in thesnrf from childhood experience no 111 effects, on ac count of tbe fact that tbey are used to it. EXPLODIXG A THEOBY. "Candy and other sweets are alleged to bo bad for the teeth, but that Is an exploded theory. Pure confectionery will do no harm. It is tbe adulterations tbat work the trouble, affecting the stomach and at last through this means ruining the teeth. The teeth are very sensitive and must he taken care of as mnch as any other part of the hnman body. For this reason we Hod that the wealthiest people have the best teeth, and it is the poorer persons who are compelled to use false ones. The latter look upon it as only a matter of time until tho teeth must give way, and consider it unneces sary to have filling done, doubtless in many cases thinking it merely for the rake of appear ance. But they are sadly mistaken, and if they were to take care of their natural teeth in time, it would not only save them expense and numerous aches, but would leave them good natural teeth, which can never be bettered by tbe dentist's art, except in tbe way of keeping them in good condition." Dr. J. D.Bell, of Federal street, advanced the same theories as did Dr. Hamilton. While he finds a great number of cases amonjr. chil dren, be finds that other people are affected from the same causes. In cases of this kind it is often difficult to locate the ache. Some times tbe patient locates It In the upper row. when in fact it is a loner tooth that is offend ing. This is caused by tbe action of the nerve3 crossing each other, and often, if tbe trouble is not immediately attended to. tbe entire set of teeth begins to ache 'in sympathy." In almost every office visited by DISPATCH representatives yesterday, a lady was found seated in tbe operatins cbatr, and tbe dentist wasnllinera cavity with gold or grinding out an old filling tbat was causing an ache or pain. A lady will never sacrifice a tooth if there is any possible way to escape. Sbe wonld rather sit in agony for several hours, while the dentist tortures her with all sorts of instruments, than to have even a back tooth drawn, and thus run the risk of spoiling the shape of the face.
