riMi r WmmmsSS: ''$r r&s&Wi w CITIZENS TO ORDER Close of the Season of Naturalization of Foreigners in Time for the Coming Election. "WORK IN EACH OF THE COURTS. Oxer 1,500 Sew-Made Americans in Sine Months, 20 Per Cent of Whom Were Taken in lesterday. SOME CAUSES OP A EUSH FOE PAPEKS. Eecrtt Societies sad Labor OrgisraUoss Thit Admit Only Citixtas. Xntwithstanding tbe announcement made a few days since, that a record of 160 nat uralizations in the United States Courts here was the best ever made, the fact is that citizen-making has been carried on in a rather desultory way the past year, though, 3S Mr. W. T. Lindsey, of the United States District Court, remarks, there is a con stantly growing disposition on the part of foreigners to get into the ark of safety. This is shown in the matter of making declarations. Whereas in past years many of the people who filed their intentions had been in the country from 5 to 20 years, im migrants are now flocking into the courts to declare, belore the aroma of the steerage is off their garments. Tbe United States Courts do not catch so many as do the State Courts, as the poli ticians seem to have their arrangements generally made for striking off the gyves of European thraldom in tbe State Courts, and those who come into the United States Courts are generally volunteers, and they scatter pretty well through the year. It is suggested that ic the County Courts much of the time of the Judges niizht be saved were one of them delegated to attend to the dutr during September, and then make all come to tbo scratch at once or run the risk of going over another year. Talking of large numbers of naturalizations, there were in September, 1860, the big end of 1,000 naturalized in the United States Courts of this district alone, considerably more than half as many as were polished off in all the courts that sat in Pittsburg this year to date. KATUKALIZATIONS FOR SINE 3IOITTHS. For the -week ending last night, the naturalizations in the United States Courts for nine months, or for the year to date, were 409, all but two or three of which were in the United States District Court. Com missioner McCandless states that the reason his court gets the business seems to be that applicants do not take the trouble to pass the door of his office. In the Common Pleas Ho. 1 the number was 776; in Common Pleas 2To 2, 111, and in the Quarter Sessions, 276, a total for the year, in all the courts, of 1,570, nearly 300 of whom were taken into the fold yesterday. "While the number of naturalizations is not large for the year, it is the declaration business, as Mr. Lindsey remarks, that shows the drift of sentiment among newly arrived foreigners. A considerable number are under age, and they press along with the elders. He says there does not seem to be much politics in it, but Irom questions put to some of the more intelligent, and the answers received, it would seem that they have a fear that adverse legislation is not far distant, and that growing sentiment may either make their probation much longer or that it may possibly reach the climax of seme extremists who would debar foreign ers from voting privileges entirely, only al lowing the franchise to their children. Some of them also have sufficient intelligence to know that the ability to vote carries with it power in the direction of the improvement of material condition. Mr. McCandless also thinks that people who have expressed astonishment at the growth of fresh-fledged voters do nnt make proper allowance for the fact that many hurried to get in last Jyear, in order to be able to vote against the adoption of the Con stitutional Amendment for the suppression of the liquor traffic. Further, he states that the rapid growth and development of West ern Pennsylvania account for a considerable part of the increase. INDUCEMENTS TO BECOME CITIZEXS. Another reason given by a Court House official, is that some workincmen's organi zations require citizenship as a qualification for membership, and another is that among the Swedes, membership is dependent on naturalization. It will also be recollected that not so long since the Sons of St. George decided to naturalize, so as to be able to combat the Irish influence in politics. It is noted that applicants from some European countries are all Republicans, while others are nearly all Democrats, and from those who can talk English it is Jearned that their bias is generally formed ere they leave home. "While tbe new-comers are of nearly all the nationalities of Europe, Germany is the heaviest contributor. There is a sprinkling of llussians. a considerable number of Swedes, Austrians and Italians, some Poles and the rest scattering, so far as the Conti nent is concerned. While the Irish still come in considerable numbers, they do not bear nearly the same proportion to the wnole that they dia 30 years ago. The names show it, without reference to the country and sovereign abjured. If bad writing be an evidence of genius, there are many nascent Horace Greelys anions the new arrivals. In fact, were it not that tbe clerk also writes the names himself, in each application, it is doubtful whet'ier some of the signers would in years to come be 2blc to designate their own auto graphs. Tl.ose signed "his i mark" are generally the most legible, though occasion ally you come across a name written in the highest style of art. In glancing over a declaration book 30-odd years old, one would bs astonished to find some names "his i mark," and to know that they had siuee risen to positions of considerable emi nence in society, business, politics, etc. It is not to the discredit of those people that they were not able to write their names 30 years ago. Sentencm Dealt Out Yesterday, In the Criminal Court yesterday Sadie Alexander, for concealing the death of her child, received six months to jail; Nioma Grant, keeping a disorderly house, six mouths to the workhouse; Mary Grant, pointing firearms, six months to tbe work house; Frank Bodak, aggravated assault and battery, one year to the workhouse; John Weber, assault and batterv, $5 and costs; Joseph Band, larceny, three months to the workhouse.

The New Touchtnc-TJp of "the First Pres byterlan Chnreh Itendr for lpcetlon How tbe VII ami Celling HaTe Been Tfaarouchlr Transformed. Carpets will be laid, pews varnished, and everything will be in readiness in the First Presbyterian Church for service this morn ing. The interior of the sanctuary presents a decidedly attractive ap pearance, the walls and ceiling having received an artistic dressing, under the supervision of Messrs. Iieake & Greene. A noteworthy imnrovement has been made in the ceiling. This formerly was stained in imitation of dark walnut, and was dull, heavy and' colorless, but by the adoption of a more congenial scheme of coloring, the whole interior has been rendered more inter esting and pleasing. The field of the ceil ing panels, in warm ivory gray, is confined by a decorative border of soft red, on a background of pale amber, while therib moldings, in olive yellow, are emphasized in lines of pale gold. Br the ornamentation of the wall spaces from the frieze to the ceiling, in shades of amber, yellow and brown, the desired de gree of enrichment is obtained, and a frieze motive of mediseval outlines, modeled in tones of olive green and warm red, on a background of sojt yellow, soitens the bold but harmonious' contrast of the mellow depth of orange-brown wall, below which, in turn, is finished by an ornamental wains coat band in clouded shades of crimson brown. As the pulpit end of the auditorium is naturally the center of interest, here no effort has been spared to give it its proper decorative importance also, and here we find the predominating tone one of deep red, which otherwise would be too somber were it not contrasted and relieved by a cburcbly design, wrought in gold and lighter color. " In treating tbe architectural moldings which form the pulpit arch the necessary contrast en masse has been achieved by the arrangement of gold and color, and the whole brought into harmony with the wall coloring by an ornamental band of conven tional motive extending around the arch in orange gold, on a clouded ground of russet blown. In strong analagotts contrast to the main color motive of the interior is the organ front, which is treated in subdued shades of peacock blue, crimson brown and gold. Opalescent stained glass windows, yet to be put in, will be of field ivory yellow, re lieved br a band of amber, terminating at the window heads in a gothic treatment in ruby brown, deep amber and Italian green. MARRIEDJW THE FLY. A Wedding Ceremony Over In Three Attn uten Delay of Only Seven Minutes to Train, In Order to Make a Young Couple One. The 20-minntes-divorce-railway stop of trains in Indiana was beaten in Washing ton county, yesterday. Mr. Will E. Bobi son, of Beallsville, postmaster and agent of The Dispatch, and editor of the Weekly Telegraph, and Miss Lou Jeffrey, of East Bethlehem, boarded the train at West Brownsville, and contrived to get married on the fly, while coming to this city. The party did not wish to be married at the home of the groom, but tbe postnffice would not keep itself, and Mr. Bobinson could not get a leave of absence so as to get a marriage license in this city, and how to get married away from home, take a trip and be back for duty on Monday morning, was the question to be solved, and Mr. D. M. Watt, Superintendent of the Mononga hela division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Colonel Chill Hazzard, helped the in terested couple cut of an interesting di lemma. Mr. Watt had the train stopped at Monongahela City. Editor Hazzard had secured tbe attendance of Kev. J. T. Biley, of tbe M. E. Church, on tbe depot platform. Mr. Bobinson and Miss Jeffrey stepped from the train to the platform, and Bev. Mr. Bilev pronounced the ceremony without wasting any time. The train stopped at 5:14 o'clock P. M., and was again on its war at 5:21, the cere mony occupying jusf three minutes. An immense crowd had assembled at the sta tion, and a baud was playing the wedding march as the bride and groom stepped upon the platform. As the happy pair stepped back aboard the train, the crowd showered rice upon them, until they were literally covered with the esculent. Conductor Ody and Flagman Bently scrambled for a kiss from the bride, but George Earnest cut both out by the presenta tion of an elegant bouquet and a bewitching smile, and carried the,day. It is said that Horace Scheck, the engi neer, was so much excited that he ran past several stations without stopping, and Con ductor Ody lost his reckoning, and is not certain that he did not miss the collection of several fares. SPECIAL V1KWKES APPOINTED. An Unmnnl Step Taken In Common Flan Court Yesterday. An unusual step was taken in Common Pleas Court Ho. 1 yesterday in the matter of settling disputes between property owners and the city. It was the appointment of a special board of viewers to make a re-assessment of benefits and damages occasioned by the widening, opening and paving of Grazier street Appeals were filed some time ago by the property owners on the street, who allege that the assessments were illegal and unjust. The case was argued before the Judges of Common Pleas So. 1. They have kept the case under consideration, and yesterday handed down a decision in the shape of an appointment of viewers to re-assess the damages and benefits in the three matters of widening, opening and paving tbe street The special viewers appointed are Samuel Chadwick, James Parker aod Willis A. Boothe. WILL BUILD NEXT SPBUfQ. West End Company Promise the Electric Bond at That Tttic. A few of the citizens of the West End have been talking about holding an indig nation meeting for the purpose of devising ways and means to compel the West End Car Company to bnild its elcetric road. Councilman Halliday beard of the matter, and called upon Superintendent Burns. The latter gentleman informed Mr. Halliday that work on the new road could uot be commenced until spring, but that it will certainly be done then. The company, it is understood, put a con siderable amount of the money originally intended for the road into the Second Ave nue road, and as a consequence could not do anything with the West End line until spring. New Members of the Bar Association. The Bar Association met yesterday after noon with President S. A. McClung in the chair. John D. Schafer was elected a mem ber of the Executive Committee to fill the unexpired term of Robert D. Wilson, de ceased. New members were elected in the persons of J. H. Grier, Marshal Johnston, J. H.

Every person within 200, miles of Pittsburg, who has been putting off from time to time their projected visit to the great show, is now hurrying to tbe.city.ind what good-natured, sights-absorbing people they are. Alter seeing thousands of people explore the Exposition from end to end, and after noticing the evidence of interest on their faces, who could deny the benefits of the Exposition as an educator. All day yesterday throngs of ' persons rould be seen coming and going from the Exposition buildings. The excursionists proposed not only to visit the big show, but at the same time to do some shopping and go to the theater or other- places of amuse ment and interest SHOPPERS FILtED ALIi THE STOBKS. All the stores visited yesterday were filled with shoppers, and some of the clerks wished the Expo in "Dixie." It was the same at the theaters and on the street. Go where you might to the Expo, theaters, stores or on the street, the fnflux of excur sionists was found en masse. In the evening the city people augmented the crowd at the Expo. It is curious, but hundreds of city people visit the Expo nightly and seem to revel in the brightness and air of excitement and novelty. The Dispatch headquarters was taken by storm yesterday and a big vote cast The subject was, "Should the city give more ground to the Exposition next year." In tbe opinion of a politician the voting was not interesting because there was no conflict, no divergence of opinion all said yea. But stop; that is hardly fair. There were just 1 nay votes cast, but among the 229 ayes they were nearly lost track of. BOOMS FOB SHOW AND CITY. And the reasons that were given were so weighty in their arguments that one would be inclined to say "Give the Exposition So ciety all the ground it wants. Boom the Expo and conversely the city for all it's worth." Some stray Chat. JUST 12 more days of the Exposition. The oil well attracts great attention. """ The large picture of a California giant tree in the art gallery has been purchased by a London gentleman, and will be presented to the Royal Arts Academy in the latter city. A glass gavel made at the glass exhibit will be used by Emma J. Barker, National Presi dent of the Ladies ot the Union Veteran Legion, at the convention October 8 and 9, at Fort Wayne. THE PERFECT PIANOS Of the Present Day Are the Hardmau, the Krakauer and the Vose, carried by Mellor & Hoene, 77 Fifth avenue, the largest and oldest piano and organ establishment in this section of the United States, they having been established since 1831. The finish, style, action and depth and richness of tone, and their phenomenal durability, have combined to make tbe Hardman, the Krakauer and the Yose the leading pianos of the day, the ones breferred for private and public use. "So exorbitant prices are asked for these magnificent instru ments; tbe lowest price possible for honest workmanship and the finest material is all that is asked so thst their prices are within the reach of all, and their assortment of first-class instruments is the largest in this part of the country. Old pianos and organs are taken iu exchange. New instru ments rented and the rent applied on pur chase. Invitations are extended to all to come and hear the marvelous iEolian, a musical instrument all to itself, and with advantages that make it a necessity in every well-ordered household, as every member of it can, with a little practice, produce upon it accurately tbe highest class of music One ot the remarkable things about the jEolian is its peculiarly beautiful tone, which is un like either piano or organ, but more closely resembling a small orchestra. Mellor & Hoene, 77 Fifth avenue, carry a large and full line of the leading Beed organs. These instruments possess in their way the characteristics which make the pianos so desirable. J. F. Dlneder, 133 Fifth Avenne. Visitors to tbe Exposition cannot ntilize a portion of their time better than by making an outside excursion to this store, so as to examine the very fine goods in great variety now on exhibition. There will be neither the expense of railway tickets nor the bother of having them stamped; it is simply to call upon him, and inspect the stock which is all ready to be made up into overcoats and general fall and winter suits applicable for business, visiting, traveling and lull dress occasions. It rests with yourselves about giving orders; but if orders do not follow at once upon inspection of materials and styles it will be an anomaly for none will be able to resist the advantages to be gained here in the way of stviish, well fitting clothes that have haJ the very best custom wor put upon them linings, fin ish, etc., all being satisfactory. If vou want your sons to be well dressed, take them with you and give orders for their clothes at the same time, and when you have com pleted the arrangements you will find it to have been the best morning or afternoon's business you have done in a long time. Oldest Music Stand In Pittsburg. Since the opening of the Exposition the Henricks Musio Company, Lini., 79 Fiftb avenue, have had such a rnsh of business that it has been necessary lor them to place a standing order with the Eastern piano manufacturers for an unlimited number of pianos to be shipped every week tintil further notice. To see the standard grade of pianos and organs which this sellable firm handles explains why the public places so much confidence and crowd the stand at the Exposition, alter which they pay a visit to the wareroorus at 79 Filth avenue and se lect a fine piano or an organ. Headed by that wondeiful world-renowed Chickering piano, with its rich, sonorous and sympa thetic quality of tone, and the famous Wheelock piano, known for its fine tone, evenness of scale and durability of construc tion, also tbe celebrated Lindemau & Sons. and the popular Stuyvesant pianos, all go to make tbe Henricks Music Company, Lim., tbe most popnlar firm in the city. Low prices, easy terms at the oldest music stand in the city. RANGES. FURNACES AND STOVES, J. C. TnomDsom, 640 Liberty Street. It is'only necessary to view the tremend ous array of stoves, ranges, furnaces and mantels, which crowd the floor space, to know that it is the place of places to secure the best and most reliable aids to keeping houses and churches warm, and cooking food at the least possible expense for fuel, either gas or coal, and withal have some thing ornamental. These stoves and ranges look as if tbey meant business from the out set; they were created for a purpose and they nobly fulfill their mission. Mr. J. C Thompson is opposed to high prices, de manding only such terms as must be satis factory to all parties, for these convenient, reliable articles, upon which we depend for health and comfort A large trade is done by this house in elegant mantels, slate, granite, hardwood, etc, all being repre sented, while the great assortment of all the novelties in tiling which they have in con junction with the mantels, enable them to fill any amount of orders with characteristic promptness and care. THE DEVELOPMENT OF GRAPHIC ART. PHOTO. J. R. Pearson, 96 Fifth Avenue, and 43 Fed eral Street, Allegheny. The exhibit made by Mr. Pearson in the art gallery istbeargumentum ad bominum as to the superiority of pictures taken by this method. When the photographer has met and conquered the difficulties of this branch ot art, and has, so to speak, carried off first honors, he is in a position to do jus tice to bis sitters, with credit to himself. The secret of Mr. Pearson's success does not consist alone in his gifts of posing a subject, catching the happiest expression, arranging a group,nor yet in his skill with the camera. He does indeed possess all of these qualifi cations in a remarkable degree, but his popularity does not depend upon them solely. A chief reason is that he is always careful, patient and judicious in his treat ment of each sitter, showing un due partiality to none, but doing full justice to each in turn. This prevents any possibility of that air of im patience and irritability too often distress ingly apparent in the every-day style of photograph. His displays have always re ceived the greatest praise from severely critical judges, who recognized in his work the fact that he had not devoted agreat deal of his time to' finishing certain o f the finest subjects, but had honestly given equal care, J ab.ui anu euort to ail mat came iu iiiuj. x this code of ethics Mr. Pearson is enabled to select at random from his collection any number of pictures, knowing that all of them exempiily his careful and artistic work in a degree that renders them worthy of a place in any art gallery or any Exposi tion. These are the reasons why this splen did display ranks so high in tbe estimation of the public, and why whole families be take themselves to his studios lo cated in the two cities to be photographed in those happy' looking groups; and why those that never have gone, are seizing'the opportunity (alter see ing the exhibit) to go at once and do like wise, thus tacitly admitting their errors in the past in having patronized anyone but Mr. Pearson. Probably noTionse in this city has executed as many orders for crayon wort, and surely none has given more pleasure and satisfaction to its patrons. Persons desirous of procuring crayon por traits of themselves should visit the studios to examine the superior life-sized pictures to be seen there, as the wall space at art gallery limits the number in the display. Excursionists especially should take ad vantage of the occasion to have negatives made, for they surely could have no plens anter souvenir of the Exposition of 1890 than their own happy laces photographed by J. li. Pearson. With regard to the display in art gallery, one can but notice the fact, that the faces upon the wall in such countless numbers seem as though they would speak to you if only they could com mand a voice, but thev do speak anyway with the clear, intelligent expression of the eyes, which seem to meet your own. Not even do tbe ail paintings' seem to be more attractive to many of tbe visitors than the familiar faces ol Pittsburgers which have been so truthlully conveyed to the cabinet and other photo styles by Mr. Pearson, who has received many compliments for this splendid work. People were not prepared for such an avalanche of pictures, and tbey wonder how, even with their facilities, so many specimens could have been secured at these studios, and in view of the prolonged rains last spring it is even more remarkable, for there is no appearance ol their having been taken during cloudy or wet weather, or under any un favorable or depressing circumstances. They are too, clear, too well defined for that,and how has it been managed? Perhaps the easiest road to a solution of tbe mystery would be to ask Mr. Pearson. Any way visitors have bee-i duly impressed with the great merit of this display, and the remark able success which has attended the artist in these groups, and single specimens, no matter whether it is the wee baby in its mother's arms or the veteran in camp. The power of controlling people of a nervous temperament is manifested in tbe easy, nat ural positions and placid countenances, for it stands to reason that all ot those people, young, old and middle-aged, could not have been of the easy, "take life as you find it" type, yet the pleased, semi-amused look greets ybu from every angle. Superiority of finish in all these examples is strongly marked; pictures, too, have what may be called , reasonable backgrounds; neither too light nor too dark. Who would like to be backed by a dense cloud of old-times Pittsburg smoke? That is the way they used to look; or who would be without just that delicate shading which throws the picture out clearlv, bringing out all the beauties of form and face? With all of these advantages to offer patrons, the rea sons for the unqualified success ot Mr. Pear son speak for themselves; and people will go ic the future, as they have in the past, when they want the 'best, to the Pearson studios. SANITARY PLUMBING. Rclnecke & Co., 300 Wood Street. Messrs. Eeinecke & Co. are masters of the situation iu tbe important matter of sani tary plumbing, their scientific and practical methods receiving the decided approbation of those who have tested the appliances. Everything pertaining to bathrooms and laundries that is worth having will be found with Bemecke & Co.; every device for healthtul sanitary arrangements is to be found with them; everything new that can bear the severe tests that Beinecke & Co. demand that their goods shall bear have been adopted by them. Tbe consequence is that Beinecke & Co. have an immense trade with those discerning people of ad- vancea ideas wno want to keep up with the times. THE GUBKEY HEATERS. The advantages of the Gurney hot water heaters are manifold; introduced by this firm, they have rapidly proved their ascendancy over, and superiority to, all methods' now in use. The ability to regu late the degree ot heat to our now variable climate, and the impossibilityof explosions, are important considerations, as well as the large saving in luel. Even a low grade fire will give out warmth with a Gurney heater; whereas with steam, tbe water in the boilers must never fall below 212 Fahrenheit, or your steam is nil. With the latter, then, constant supervision is necessary, but with the Gurney twice or thrice in the day is all sufficient to insure heat ot a bland, mild character, instead of the horrible dryness of steam, which seems to shrivel the lungs, and produce a sense of suffocation, to say noth ing of hacking coughs. ELECTRIC LIGHT AND GAS FIXTURES are still other points' iu which this firm ex cel. They have an immense stock, drawn from all the finest manufactures extant, and all at lowest prices. Their large lines em brace chandeliers and other fixtures ar ranged for either kind of light, or they have mem lor eacu Kino aione. xnev are in all shapes and forms and materials proper for these purposes, so that whatever style of fixture is required for your houses, offices, churches or public halls, go to Beinecke & Co., 309 Wood street, and you will find just what you want, and at remarkably low figures. PIANOS AND Oil GANS. " Echols, DIcMurray tfc Co., Allegheny. Day by day this most delightful exhibit, in north gallerv. wins for itself new friends.

Call and examine the splendid stock to be found at 123 San dusky street, Allegheny. " THE BAENES SAFE EXHIBIT In STcehnnlcal Hall. The Barnes safe was established in 1845, and its growth in 45 years is something to think about, for this manufacture has nowa world-wide reputation, honestly won. The excellence of the product is exemplified in the suDerb collection of safes shown in this display. 'The Barnes safes arfl only manu factured by "The Barnes Safe and Lock Company," Nos. 124 to 131 Third avenne, Pittsburg. Thousands of these safes are now in use in the United States, and the Barnes Safe and Lock Company holds un limited numbers of testimonials which have been received from owners of safes that stood the test of the most terrible fires which have ever devastated this country. THE CHAMPIOK SAFES. There are , the burglar proof bank safes which weigh some 7,000 pounds, and have a Sargent and Greenleaf time lock. They are the handsomest bank safes made in this or any other country. It is worth the time of any man interested in keeping his securi ties and valuables intact to make himself thoroughly conversant with the superior qualities of this safe, for everything that modern science has developed in the way of security for books and valuables against depredation and robbery is employed in tbe Barnes system. Around and in tbe space is an attractive collection of fireproof safes of all sizes and varieties, finished in the highest styles of artistic decoration. It is no 'unusual thing for safes to be sold from this exhibit, and the purchasers have evi dently no oMection to seeing their firm name appear over the door. VAULT DOORS are another of tbe specialties at this dis play. In this class oi work Barnes stands at tbe head. There is scarcely a building'of importance in Pittsburg where vaults are used that has not been supplied by the Barnes people. While Pittsburg is nat urally the headquarters of the Barnes' man ufactures, the sale ot safes is by no means confined to this territory; indeed, the rami fications of this gigantic business extend into every State and Territory of the Union. This Barnes' display of safes is pro nounced by traveling men to be the finest shown in any exhibition ever held from one end to the other of this land. It may be stated that sales are constantly being made, as the safes are looked upon as prize speci mens, and parties desiring a safe apparently take pride in securing one which has been built lor expert criticism. HOPPER BRO. fc CO., 307 WOOD ST. Tbo North Gallery Exhibit. This firm was well and favorably known in and around Pittsburg before this Expo sition; now it has become famous through the success of its present display.

The Stevens desks are in immense variety and are solid and handsome, with every con ceivable kind of top upon them, many hav ing tbe spring locked roll curtain. The adjustable foldingchairs, which comprise so many articles in one piece of furniture, are unequaled lor their elegance, simplicity and comfort Tay lor & Dean. 201-3-5 Market Street. The questions oof fire escapes and solid iron shutters are agitating the public to day, now that the season when fires most prevail has arrived, and the efficacy of the Taylor & Dean manufactures in that line make them the preference of a thinking people who wish to take every possible pre caution against this devouring element Others are engrossed with the subject of fencings and railings and other solid iron matters, while there is everything to occupy the mind with the beautiful conceits in wire offered by this firm. TOOK TIME TO DECIDE. She Was of One Opinion He of Another As UsanL They walked leisurely up before a big display window cor. of Grant and Diamond streets eyeing the various styles of garments. Presumably it was husband and wife "I tell you I like the light-colored overcoat tbe best" she remarked; "and besides, its tbe cheapest I ever' saw" (it was marked $10). The man turned, glanced at a nice dark silk mixture hung between two rows of crimson satin, and, muttering something about "women's tastes," said he preferred that one at $12. It was a Question ef color a matter of $2 difference and a determina tion on the part of Mrs. Know-all that her better half should buy the garment of her choice. After some further conversation they entered tbe large establishment of the Pittsburg Combination Clothing Company (P. C. C. C), and when they emerged the gentleman wore a frown on his face, the light-colored garment on his back, while his companion in life smiled sweetly. She had conquered. The day was won, Jrat two hours later the man entered the store alone, threw down the overcoat and two dollars and said: "Exchange this for one like that dark coat hanging in the window." 83 50 Uutil November 30, 1S00 $1.
