SITES FOR HOTELS.
Another First-CIass Hostlery Badly
Keeded in Pittsburg.
WHERE SOME WOULD LOCATE IT.
Hotel Men Prefer the First Presbyterian
Church Property.
POIXTEKS FEOM KEAL ESTATE AGENTS
The question no longer is, Does Pittsburg
need another first-class hotel? but where
shall it be located? The crowded state of
the hotels this week and the advent of the
Britishers hasn't demonstrated the need,
but it has been conceded for some time by
even the hotel men themselves. The clerks
last winter, who nightly turned away
guests, and to whom the operation was as
painful as cutting off an arm, have known
about the necessity. Ex-Mauager Flagler
never made a more patent statement when
he said that what Pittsburg needs uioiethan
anything else to boom it is a
fine hotel, centrally located, where
the people can meet and discuss current top
ics. The site and stuflonly are wanting,
and these two would work wonders. Josh
Billings would say that the only way to
have a hotel is to build it, and that is what
remains to be done.
A Dispatch reporter spent some time
yesterday talking with real estate men about
good sites. Of those seen all felt sure that
there was money ia the business in Pittsburg
for enterprising capitalists, but that it
would take considerable capital to erect a
a good house in the center ot the city.
OUTSIDE CAriTAL, FEAKED BT SOME.
Some were afraid that Eastern people
would step in and reap the rewards, as they
hare done in other cases, which should go to
Pittsburgers whose hindsight ought to clear
up the vision of their foresight. It was
stated that a syndicate had been after the
Bissell block for the past year to use it for
hotel purposes, but this was denied by
the agent of the estate. He said he
didn't know anything about it, but
he had knowu ior a Jong time that the hotel
accommodations were insufficient He
thought the First IT. P. Church property on
Seventh avenue could be purchased in con
nection with the Bissell block, and the site
would be large enough for the erection of a
larce first-class honse. The Bissell heirs
ill sell the property if the price is forth
coming. A local hotel man, who had seen shining
shekels disappear lrom his finger tips all
the week because his house was not large
enough, rubbed his hands and said:
"The greatest site in town for a hotel,
and the only one in pny opinion,
is the church property, corner Sixth
avenue and 'Wood street, but I don't sup
pose you could buy it for love or money.
The time has come, however, when these
churches should be sold. The property is
too valuable, and the business of the city
requires the land. Xoone should stand in
the way of a city's progress, and the
churches above all others. Sly, what a site
that property would make for a magnificent
house! Everything depends on the location
to insure the success of a hotel. It should
be in touch with the business part of a city
and not too far from the depot.
A SITE XEAE THE COURT HOUSE.
"How about the triangular piece of
property opposite the jail, facing Filth ave
nue? It is not far from the Union depot, at
least."
The hotel man shook his head. "Kot far
from the depot," he said, "that is true, but
I don't like tne locality. It is out of the
swim."
"But couldn't you draw the business cen
ter in thjt diiectiou?"
"1 ato afraid not. It is a mighty hard
ihinc to move the center of the citr."
lu spite of these fears, it fs a fact that the
business center of Pittshurg was once at the
Point, and it is gradually dri ting out Filth
avenue. Ex Postmaster Larkm, who is
now in the real estate business, thinks this
triangular site is the best one in the citv for
a hotel. It is in a commanding position,
and if the hump were cut down irom 8 to 10
feet it would be very much improved. It
has a reflective value through the proximity
of the Court House. About 30 years ago
this property was condemned to widen Fifth
avenue, but it was never done, and the pro
ceedings have lapsed.
C H. I.ove said another hotel was cer
tainlv needed here, hut he hadn't heard any
one recently talk about building one. Sev
eral years ago there were rumors at.d tome
agitation in this direction, but the discus
sion lias ceased. Property has become so
valuable that capitalists are discouraged at
the start.
5IAXT PEOPLE TO BUT OUT.
At W. A. Herron & Sons' thev wer4 more
communicative. It was learned that large
tracts o land in Pittsburg are becom
ing very scarce, and to get a large
hotel site a number of people would
hate to b bought out, and
the chances are that some of the estates
mi;ht be entailed or tied up. Among the
sites mentioned, which so lar as locatiou is
concerned is all that is desirable, was the
Christ JI. E. Chunn on Penn avenue and
Eghth .-.treet. It irouts on Penn avenue
100 ieet and runs back to the Pittsburg Fe
male College, 140 feet. The college fronts
on Eighth street 100 feet, and it is said they
are willing to sell and remove to the Eist
End. Tiiese two properties taken together
might make a good site. Several other
J-ugg-stions were the property between
Smithfield and Grant streets, along Water
itreet. opposite the Jlonongahela House, a
triangular strip owned by Charles Albree,
facing Liberty avenue, between Fourth and
Fmh aieaues and near Market street.
This latter site would be ratber small,
fronting only 84 feet on Liberty avenue.
Another seutleman thought the market
Jioum", if the city would sell, would be a
fine location or a hotel, and others named
the property, corner Fifth avenue and
Market street, where E. P. Robert's jewelry
store- and S S Jlarviu's retail department
are located. The property on Wood street
between Fiith avenue ard Diamond street
has been mentioned and while it would
m-ike a great site,most people think it would
cost too much. Everybody admits another
first-class house is needed in Pittsburg.
AH mDUSTKlOUS MOUSE.
One of the Gray 3Iiscliief Makers at Work
in Allegheny City Hall.
There is a very industrious mouse in the
office ol the Clerks of Councils. Allegheny.
For several weeks past the j uiitor has been
trapping the mue in that office, and during
the past two weeks the record has reached
57. Yesterday a cage and wheel was pro
currd and one of the mice locked up. He
immediately began running the wheel, evi
dently thinking himself on the way to
liberty.
The little gray rodent never stopped his
work until one ol the kindhearted clerks
stopped the matter by locking the mouse in
the cage where he lay down and panted 'or
breath. However he was soon ready to try
his luck on the wheel again in a Tery few
moments.

A SHORT SESSION.
The Ttevi&Ion Committee Did Very Iltt-
Work Yesterday Ical Clvurches to Be
Filled by the Visiting Clergymen To
Day Good Sermons Promised.
Only one session was held by the Presby
terian Eevision Committee yesterday, and
not a great deal of work was accomplished.
Mr. Stratton, New Jersey's representative,
arrived and took his place on the commit
tee. The main part of the work so far has
been by referring sections and chapters to
sub-committees to prepare, and several re
ports are expected to be ready by to-morrow.
Any sub-committee work remaining
unfinished at the time of the adjournment
this wees will probably be carried on by
correspondence, and thus the work of re
vision will continue all winter.
Some splendid sermons are promised in
the local churches to-day. As far as known
the following are the assignments of the
visiting clergymen: Bev. V. C Roberts,
D. D., LL. D.", will preach in tne morning
at the Bellefield church and in the evening
at the Third 'Church on Sixth avenue. In
the morning Rev. Herrick' Johnson, D. D.,
will preach in the Third Church, and in the
evening he will occupy the pulpit of the
Second Church, corner of Penn avenue and
Seventh street. Rev. Willis J. Seecher,
D. D., LL. D., will occupy the pulpit of
the Second Church in the morning and in
the evening be will preach in the Bellfield
Church. Rev. William Alexander, D. D.,
will preach in the morning in the Central
Church, at the corner ot Anderson and La
cock streets, Allegheny. The pulpit of the
First Church, on Wood street, Pittsburg,
will be occupied in the evening by Rev.

the Korth Church, at Lincoln and Grant
avenues, Allegheny, will be occupied in the
morning by Rev. W. H. Green, D. D., and
in the evening by Rev. Henry J. "Van

MISTAKEN PETITIONEES.
A Bridge Wanted at Somerset Street, Not at
lYashington Avenue.
A peculiar mistake has been found in the
matters submitted to Allegheny Councils.
The residents of Somerset street and vicin
ity are Tery anxious to have a foot bridge
over the railroad and connecting with Ful
ton street. There is a very high embank
ment on Soinerse. street overlooking the
railroad, and i. is impossible to get across
without going several squares to Washing
ton or Highland avenues, which is about
ten minutes walk. It was understood that
a petition was presented to Councils for a
bridge there, but it turns out that the peti
tion asks for a bridge at Washington ave
nue. According to the statement of Ordinance
Officer Barkley the residents of Washing
ton avenue do not want a bridge as it is
level with the road and can always be
crossed. It is the Somerset street people
who want the bridge and want it badly.
Another petition will probably be presented
to Councils asking for a bridge connecting
Somerset and Fulton streets.
APPLES AND W0BMS.
Just Enough of the Former to Supply the
Latter This Season.
Kansas may be burdened by mortgages
and eaten up by grasshoppers, but she has
one thing this season that goes far to allevi
ate her troubles, and that is a good apple
crop. A large consignment was received in
this city the other day, and the consignor
evidently does not think there is any danger
in holding them, as he directed Mr. Thomas
McFadden, Jr., to put them into cold stor
age. In this section the worms hold a first
mortgage on the few apples on the trees.
One man congratulated himself some weeks
ago that he would have between SO and 100
bushels in his orchard, and though his
normal crop is 1,000 to 1,500 bushels, he
was quite elated, as he had the only crop
worth talking about within 50 miles ot the
Pittsburg Court House. Now he is
shaking them ofl tor the hogs as the worm
have not Ie.t enough of the lruit to make it
worth working, though some people have
euggested that it would make rich cider.
Once More Into the Breach.
Even good in this world cannot be done
without a struggle, for we urge ourselves
often into doing what is best for health and
comfort, when we could do the best even
without effort. To convince others and to
persuade them, we should use the arguments
which influence our own judgment For
example: The ills of suffering humanity
should be relieved piomptly and perma
nently. There is but one way of doing so,
and that is by procuring the surest remedy.
Some remedies are good, others are better,
but long experience and undoubted proot
point to only one as the best There is no
questioning this fact in the treatment of
pains and aches, and when the advertise
ments of St Jacobs Oil, which have com
menced for the season their appearance in
the columns o. this paper, catch the eye, the
best certainly stands revealed. The great
remedy for pain holds the confidence of the
public, and has done so these many, many
years, and it is truly worthy of it
THE EXPOSITION CLOSES

membership at once, as this is the last op
portunity to secure an Everett piano on the

changes in the terms and prices. These
beauti ul pianos have taken possession ol so
many hearts and homes in this vicinity that
it is not neressary to sound their praises
here. That is done best by those who have
tested them, many of whom declare they
have no equal, and all agree that thev have
absolutely no superior in depth and rich
ness of tone, beautiful finish and durability.
The list for club B is still open. You can
become a member by paying $1 per week
and get yonr piano in a short time. You
can pay cash and get it at once, -or you can

THE
PITTSBUKG IS IN IT.
The Increased Tariff on Tin Plate to
Make a Boom for Glassware.
FEDIT JARS WILL BE IN DEMAND,
And Packing Yessels That, if More Fragile,
Will Is Cheaper.
TIN E00FS NOW TO Q0 0DT OF STILE.
One effect of the McKinley tariff on tin
plate will be to cause increased demand for
Pittsburg glassware, particularly fruit jars
and packing vessels.
A Chicago man baspatented a new device
in glass calculated to take the place of the
old tin affairs for the preservation of lruits,
meats, vegetables and all the line of canned
goods, in which America excels. He has
had a sample made here, and alter a lew
minor defects have been remedied, The
Dispatch is informed, the new vessels
will be manufactured here in large quanti
ties, the big Chicago packing houses having
already signified their intention to nse the
glass instead of the tin.
The Dispatch having been informed of
this much, has endeavored to learn particu
lars of the matter and something about the
relative cost and advantages of tin and
glass, as well as the probable effect of the
new tariff on the consumption of each.
Mr. John Dunlap, when spoken to, said:
"The effect of the McKinley bill is to in
crease the cost of tin to the consumer, very
materially. It doesn't affect us any. Our
tin costs us more than formerly and we
charge more for it We expect to make the
same percentage of profit on the amount of
capital employed as formerly.
TIN koofs said to be doomed.
"Of course the consumption of tin plate
will be decreased. There will be no more
tin roofs. During recent years tin has been
used very extensively for roofing, but at the
revised prices it will be more expensive than
shingles and clapboards, and, of course, will
not be used. I suppose glass will be used
to make many things for which tin was
formerly used. No, I hardly think glass
can supersede tin plate in the canning es
tablishment, on account ol Deing so mucn
more easily broken though for the matter
of price it can undoubtedly enter into com
petition. "My views on the tariff are well known.
I am no tariff man. I have always protested
against the high tariff. But there is no use
talking now. It's like locking the stable
door after the horse has beeu stolen. So far
as we are concerned, as I said before, it
makes no difference. We pay more and we
charge the consumer more. II the con
sumer can stand it :t don't hurt us."
Mr. Watson, of William McCully & Co.,
said he did not know of anv large order ior
glass vessels having been placed here. "Was
it rom Chicago?" he asked with some show
of interest, and being answered in the
affirmative, he again said that no order had
been placed with his firm.
Thomas Wightman & Co. We have no
such order unless it has been sent in within
the past two hours. Yes, we make glass
cans, more particularly oil can1;.
INCREASED DEMAND FOE GLASS.
Mr. Wormser, of Wormser & Co. I
have heard something about this matter,
but don't know who is to make the cans.
We have no order. Yes, I think the ad
vance in the price of tin will greatly in
crease the demand ior glassware. Glass
is much better, even if it does
cost a little more. It forms no poisonous
acids by corrosion. If fruits and
meats were canned in glass the cans could
be used Again. The tin cans are just so
much waste. Glass cans could be returned,
as empty bottles are, or made use of in the
household. They could be made so as not
to break easily. Pittsburg is in shape to
supply the demand for glass vessels of
every description and hopes to get increased
trade since the advance in tin plate. It
would be a good thing for Pittsburg, and
glass cans wonld be worth more to the con
sumer, besides pntting a stop to the rather
frequent cases of poisoning from the corros
ion of the tin cans.
Cunningham & Co., Lim. No, we don't
know anything about it Dont make cans.
D. O. Cunningham We don't make cans.
Have not heard of this.
Ihiusen Glass Company, Limited There
has been no order placed with us. We have
not made ruit cans or some time.
Thos. G. Evans & Co. Can't tell any
thing about it. fYe have no order tor such
cans. Yes, we make fruit jars. Cannot say
how prices of tin and glass wonld compare.
Do not know price of tin cans.
glass Should have the call.
W. H. Hamilton & Co. AVe have an
agent in Chicago, but have not heard of any
such thing irom him. However, if there is
anything like meat in it, our agent may
have made a contract. Could net say. Can
not say jut what difference there i in price
between glass and tin plate, but think glass
should be in greater demand.
It is also suggested that papier mache cans
will also come into competition with the tin.
Stoneware will find a new niche or two, and
there will be other materials used for
roofinr. In any event, Pittsburg will be
"in it," with its superior facilities in every
line ot manuiacture.
Mr.Canton,representing one of the largest
wine hou-es on the Pacific slope, while in
town recently, referred to the question of
glass jars superseding tin cans for 'ruit
packing purposes. He said that the fruit
growers on the slope were disposed to use
glass jars as against tin vessels, principally
on account ot the acids used in tin-making,
which injured the lruit He said that glass
jars were also coming into increased use on
account of their lower cost as compared with
tin cans. He thought that Pittsburg manu
facturers should give ihis matter attention.
There was no doubt that the use of glassware
for iruit-packing was increasing.

NOVEL FEATURES OP THE EXHIBITS
Last night saw the Exposition filled with
the usual good-humored Saturday evening
crowds. Many well-known faces might
have been recognized in the tbiong, and
some of the costumes worn by the ladies
present were distinctly chic Of course the
concert was the center of ittraction, but the
Art Gallery and Machinery Hall came in
for a very fair share of popular favor. In
the latter building are two new appliances
which create quite a furor the electric
stone crusher and the British elec
tric lift The oil well was also
visited by thousands, and much satisfaction
was expressed when it was learned that the
650 foot level had been reached. The sink
ing is now being done through a stratum of
tough slate, but every hope is entertained
that the promise of gas made last Wednes
day will be shortly realized to some purpose.
The coming week is to be the last of the
Exposition of 1890, and Manager Johnston
states that no amount of persuasion will in
duce the directors to keep the big show open
after next Saturday. On Monday night
Mr. Innes' famous mechanical sing
ing birds will be exhibited. These
birds together with their cages
were made in Geneva, Switzerland, and
cost $75 each. Tuesday night the airs of the
"Land o' Cakes" will be rendered. Wed
nesday American night par excellence,
will be set apart for the visit of all the local
and neighboring branches of the Jr. and Sr.
O. TJ. A. M. and the P. O. S. A. Amer
ican airs will be played. Thursday is to be
German day, and the Mannaerchors have
once more promised to sing.
The voting at The Dispatch stand all
yesterday was unusually heavy. The ques
tion was, "Should railroads run semi-weekly
excursions to Pittsbnrg dnring the
spriug, summer and autumn?" The voting
was over 3 to 1 in favor of the excursions.
Some of the remarks attached to the affirma
tive votes were as follows: " 'Should' is too
strong; say 'might;' " "Good advertisement
scheme;" '"Run them everv day;" "Three
times a week better." The principal nega
tive opinion was, "Mere waste of money
and steam."
PIANOS AND ORGANS.
Echols, McMnrray & Co., Allegheny.
The impression used to prevail that it was
necessary lor the citizens of the sister city to
come to Pittshurg ta buy a piano or organ,
but that idea has been most successfully
enmbatted by this firm, who have taught the
people that they can bay magnificent instru
ments right at 123 Sandusky street, and that
the tide of tr.ivel n.is turned to Allegheny.
The superb instruments shown by
Echols, McMurray & Co. at their ex
hibit have astonished those who were
unaware of the new order of things, and
well they might, for Ihey are splendid
examples of what can be found in high
grade, standard pianos and organs. When
people purchase such celebrated makes as
the Weber, Ahlstrnm, Chase Brothers,
Kurtzman or Mason & Hamlin, they are going
to get the worth of their money and more too;
or the same with leading makes of organs,
the Tabor, Mason & Hamlin, Waterloo or
Carpenter. It is dealing in instruments of
these classes and low price", which have
built up the business of this firm so rapidly;
they have a large stock :rom which to
choose, and discreet people will go and ex
amine the wareroom at 123 Sandusky street
betore coming to a decision.
Hopper Bros. & Co., 307 Wood Street
Wei), the days are nearly over in which
people can take solid enjoyment in contem
plating this inviting, bewitching exhibit in
north gallery. Happily, there are few, or
perhaps none, of all the thousands who vis
ited the Exposition who have failed to take
in and expatiate upon the veritable worth
and merit ol' this artistic display. Hopper
Bros. & Cn. are eminently long-headed men,
who never wait to make their preparations
lor the Exposition, so no doubt th-y have
already phtnned ahead for next year. If they
have, it will be something good, .oritalways
is, and, as they have all the new styles and
designs in household furniture, they can sim
ply draw upon their boundless resources
and give continued pleasure to their hosts
of friends. It is a surprising stock that is
carried by this firm, full to overflowing with
everything desirable for a real homey home,
not simply an abiding place. From this
vast stock the variety is so great that per
soual'individuality can be gratified, you
can stimp your houses with that inde
scribable something which marks individ
ual tastes. It is not only that this stocK is
so large, bnt that it is so genuinely good, it
is all well and tastefully made,and is meant
to last a per ect lifetime, or they use the
best materials. They know, too, how to
counsel aud advise i you need it, otherwise,
you judge lor yourself, a tact to be appre
ciated by buyers. Under all circumstances
there is perfect courtesy, and stranger still,
promptness. When you give your orders
they will be filled satisfactorily. Add to
this the important question of low prices
and easy terms and tbe many reasons for
the great popularity of Hopper Bros. & Co.,
will be readily understood.
A Firm That is Reliable.
Such a firm is the Henricks Co., Ltd., 79
Fifth avenue, where pianos and organs are
sold on their meriti, and at reasonable prices.
Persons wno contemplate purchasing a piano

J. F. Haeder, 135 Fifth Avenue.
Were the Exposition to continue much
longer, Mr. Maeder would have to enlarge
again his place of business, tor the visitors
in town are charmed with his splendid
stock, and the actually handsome garments
that he knows so well how to produce. They
have, too, to commend the superior work
manship, the smoothness o finish, and have
only pleasant anticipations with regard to
the fall and winter suits and overcoats they
have ordered. Pittsburgers, surelv the most
interested oi all upon this subject, should
filace their orders at once, belore the outside
ist becomes so extended that home people
will have no choice but to wait until Mr7
Maeder is able to work around to them, and
that means a discouraging wait for those
who are content only with the merchant
tailoring of Mr. J. F. Maeder.

they disclose an intelligent observation of
the laws which governed certain styles and
periods of architecture styles which have
been revived of late years. Their novelties
in wire designs are unsurpassed and those

HOW THE PCBLIC WINS.
The Closing Days Afford Splendid
Op-
portunities in Baying.
Now that the Exposition is drawing to a
close, Reizenstein's are doing quite a lively
business in the particular lines which they
have on display. At the stand of C. Reizen
stein this is particularly true. All the
larger ornaments and pieces of china, rare
and costly as most of them are, will be sold
before the Exposition closes, and sold, too,
at figures much less than the same goods
could be purchased Ior at the firm's store on
Federal street, Allegheny. -This is where
the public gets a benefit from the Exposi
tion, and itis a benefit that should be ap
preciated, for opportunities to buy snch
wares as Royal Worcester, Royal Vienna,
Doulton, Sevres and Dresden at low prices
do not come every day in the week by any
means.
There are few exhibits in the big show
that attract more attention, or are more
worthy of it, than that of Reizenstein. The
finest products ot the most famous potteries
of the world are displayed in a manner so
artistic and pleasing that if you have any
appreciation of the bejutifnl at all you must
stop to admire. Polite attendants are
always there to give yon information or tell
you the prices, and whether you think of
buying or not it will pay you to visit the
place just to see what beautiful things there
are in the world.

GREAT PIANO PLAYERS,
And What They Say About a Wonderful
3Iusical Instrument.
"At the National Association meeting of
musicians held in Philadelphia, the Miller
Grand nas used by Miss Neally Stevens
with orchestra, and Mr. E. R. Kroeger, the
composer and pianist. Tbe latter made a
very fine success with his quartet in D
minor for piano and strings. In the orches
tral concert, with orchestra and chorus. Miss
Stevens was awarded great praise for her
wonderiul performance, and received an
ovation at the conclusion of the Liszt Hun
garian Fantaise. It was the general verdict
of Miss Stevens and an army of friends that
the Miller' Grand -was not only the best
piano at the convention, but surpassed any
grand she, had ever used at any of her
previous concerts." Philadelphia Musical
Journal, August, 1889.
A fine selection ol these famous pianos
can be seen at W. C. Whitehill's Musio
Parlor, 152 Third avenue, Pittsburg.
Display of Artistic Photographs.
From the oil paiutings and water colors
in the art gallery the visitor turns quite
naturally to the photographic display of
Mr. B. L. H. Dabbs, only to notice trne art
in another form, and if the remarks and
nods of approval are any criterion, it is
quite as much admired and appreciated as
tne elegant pictures just lelt behind. Some
people are apt to think it Is often luck in
getting a good photograph, but Mr. Dabbs
takes no chances that way. With him tbe
easy grace and elegant finish are the result
of long and careiul study based on theories
and experiences peculiarly his own. No
better test of his ability can be mentioned
than the fact that the best portraits that
bave been painted by the best artists in this
city for years have been from his photo
graphs. Give a portrait painter the choice
to copy a photograph and he will take the
one by Dabbs always.
