wpifww mf,:ywif THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1S90. t and this thing of one feast after another, and the numerous receptions, would kill any man. All, hut I like you all. Such hospitality 1 never saw before, and what pleased me much to-day was the manner in which the Sabbath was observed. I like to see this dav sanctified. I couldn't bay even a cij:ar. There may be an undercurrent of vice; it exists in all large cities, I know, but why not keep it in the background as in Pittsburg. This is a first-class city, and I am sorty I am leaving it, but I "must be going." "What Mr. Cbadwick said about the hos pitality of Pittsburg was a universal senti ment. " "We didn't expect it," "Come and visit me," "Much obliged for your great kindness," were remarks that were heard on all sides. Sir William Lewis, of Sheffield, had been treated so well at the Duquesne Club that he was loth to leave. "I don't want to go," he said. "I should like to re main awhile loncrer. Ton Pittsbureers are so open-hearted." WHY PITTSBUEO IS LIKE SHEFFIELD. "This city is situated much like Shef field, in a river valley, just the place for a manufacturing town. Your mills are crowded together, but not so close as ours. I saw nothing new here, but that doesn't make any difference. The question is, can you turn" out a good product? The man who can do that wiil make money. I have been here betore, but I had no idea Pitts bnrg was such a bustling city." Pro1. Gilchrist is vcrv lond ol music, and he attended the concert at Carnegie Hall Saturday night. He insisted that many of the amateurs were professional singers, and when told they were not, he remarked: "Well, they oucfat to be. I see that Pitts bnrc is not behind In anything. You are not only great iron people, bnt yon cultivate the finer arts as well. I never was so great ly surprised in my life with a city. I saw a number of things here that simply amazed EC." J. Edward Head, an analytical chemist, said: "Alter the scramble for a room the first night, and when I got settled I thought I wouldn't like Pittsburg, but the people have treated me so kindlv that 1 am very much pleated, indeed. I think you are a little behind us in rolling iron, bat the out put of your lurnaces is something wonder iul. America in this particular is away ahead of England. The Lake Superior ores here are much richer than our own. Pitts burg is a great iron center, and I will alwjs have pleasant recollections of the place." IMPROVED BY UATTRAIi GAS. Sir Lowthian Bell and his son, Hugh Bell,-had visited Pittsburg before, but they could see marked improvements since the introduction of natnral gas. Sir Lowthian said his eyes bad been opened. One En glishman raved over his visit to the coke re gions, and others were surprised with the oil and gas fields. Mr. Phillins, of London, had never been in America, and as be discussed the coun try with several friends he said: "These Americans are a pretty sharp set, and a man must be well posted to travel in the States. The oil and gas fields are wonder ful. " He was interrupted at this point by his companion who claimed the gas would not hold out. ."Well, I don't know about that," an swered Mr. Phillips. "These Pittsburgers have been using it for a good while, and they seem to have a sufficient quantity left. I saw a good deal of improved machinery in this city. Do you know the manu'ac turers are in a peculiar position to-day. Their positions ire not seenre. A man can't tell when some nw plan will be in vented that will revolutionize his busi ness." WCTY O.V TIN XOT TOO HIGH. E. C. Martin, of Swansea, and Mr. Farn worth, of Wolverhampton, were pleased with Pittsburg, but tney were more inter ested in tin plate, being tin plate workers. "The American tariff will not affect us." said Mr. Martin. "We can still compete with you. Mr. McKinley didn't make the duty high enough." The lact is, that when the foreign visitors settled down in the cars yesterday afternoon, they one and all were grateful to Pittsburg lieople for the kind treatment received. Even those who slept in the "Westinghouse lodging nouse, as they called it, lorgave the .Reception Committee." GOING TO IKVEST HEBE. English Capitalists tVlio Arc Looking Oat for Places to Fut Money. jTftere could be no mistaking the fact that the visitors were well pleased with their re ception here, and with the display of in dustrial wealth thrown open to their inspec tion. While not wonderfully surprised or impressed with the iron and steel plants, they were unprepared for the extensive de posits of coal, the manner of working them, and with the natural gas. A good many of the visitors were here to inquire Into opportunities for investing capitai, and it is with this object that such a larsre party fuily two-thirds of the whole will take the Southern excursions from Chicago. The Beception Committee executed its diihcult undertaking with much credit to itself, and the members were personally thanked by numbers of their guests for the courteous and hospitable treatment they bad experienced at their hands. Among the visitors were a few people who had no business with the party at all. Comments were ireelv made on the advisability of cutting off the parasites from the party, bnt on the plea that what was everybody's busi ness was nobody's, they were permitted to remain. THE BEST NEWSPAPERS. Amciran Journal-, .surprise and Please a (31oiiceiter 3Ian. Mr. James Piatt, of Gloucester, England, had this to say yesterday of American journals and journalism: "Your svstem is very dif ferent from ours, you know, but I rather like your style. I must say, too, that the papers in this toun are the best I have seen betneen this and London. I particularly like The Dispatch, and its way of telling all the nens in tne article in the big head linc". "I cannot refrain from adding that its re ports of our meetings and doings, while here, were very much better than those in the other papers, and I noticed that every body appreciated that fact. We have all been buying Tun Dispatch to send home, to show our Irieuds how we are gettinz on here." BOILED IN THE ASHES. An Allegheny Offlter tVlio IJroko the Dull Hlonotony of Sunday Life. Officer Mciiimery was called to Kiley's court, off orth Diamond street, Allegheny, about noon yesterday, to arrest a colored man named James White, whose wife com plained that he was demolishing the house hold goods. When the officer arrived he dis covered the kitchen floor strewn with broken dishes, and White standing in the middle of the debris. He attempted to arrest White and a strug gle immediately followed. A table and the kitchen chairs were overturned, and the two men rolled out of the door and off a porch onto a hard brick pavement, where thev upset the contents of an ash barrel over themselves. The prisoner succumbed final ly and was sent to the lockup. ENGINEERS COMING IN. A Texan Tells How His Train TVas Bobbed of $G5,000. The annual meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be held here this week. Several of the members have already arrived, and a good many will come in to day. Among those in the city stopping at the St Charles are D. Hartigan and wife, Horton, Elan.; B. A. Pickens, San Antonio, and Robert Janke Houston. Mr. Pickens was the engineer on the ex press train that was recently robbed of $65, 000 m Texas. THE MGELOF Horers Over Pittsburg and Plants Seeds of Love between Nations, for the Abolition of Armies. JIAKY MISSIONARIES AT WOKE. A Movement to Disarm the Warring Conn tries of Europe and Settle All Dif ferences by Arbitration. GERMANY IS WILLING, BUT IS APKA1D. TUrty Thouuad Dollars Wasted to Assist the Society is the Wok tf Mercy. The angel of peace hovered over the city yesterday. At 4 o'clock it settled down on the First Presbyterian Church, which, despite the in clemency of the weather, contained a fair sprinkling of Christians of all denomina tions who are working in the common cause of the total abolition of all means of war fare between nations and countries. The people came in response to invitations sent out by J. B. Wood, of Philadelphia, Secretary of the Christian Arbitration and Peace Society, an organization that sprung intoex:stcncc about four years ago. Upon the platform of the church sat Bev. Dr George T. Pnrves, pastor; Dr. E. P. Cowan, pastor of the Third Church; Mr. Thomas Asbbury, one of the "Vice Presidents of the society, from Manchester, England; J. B. Wood, the Secretary, and Rev. W. T. Hub bard, of Columbus, O., also a Vice Presi dent of the organization. In the front, and below the pulpit, was a large bouquet of flowers emblematic of peace, purity and friendship. GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN. After prayer by Dr. Cowan, Dr. Purves announced the object of the meeting, which, he said, was to make known the basis of a living Christianity. The society, he said, was organized to bring ont the natural rela tions between all nations of the world and establish a reign of peace which was begun when the heralding angels sang, "Peace on earth, good will to man." The Doctor said if the people of this conn try were practical they would put into prac tice this sentiment, and do everything they could to build up these principles. The societv. he stated, seeks to build on the foundation laid bv God by the power of spiritual faith. Secretary Wood, who is a clear-cut, earn est talker, although not by profession a pul pit orator, said: Our society was organized in 1SS6" for good Christian work in the peace cause. The move ment Is sweeping over Europe.. At the Paris Congress last j ear the word Christian was not allowed to be used. In the London Congress the term was also tabooed until the last few daysorthi meetings, when, on account ot the popnlir sentiment sweeping over the country, the itord Christian was accepted. The re ligious enthusiasm swept to Parii and Berlin, and at the latter place the Empress of Ger many, who is a strong Evangelical Christian, cause-l to be bmlt 12 new churches in that city, and now the Sunday schools in that capi tal equal those of any city in America. The right-hand man of the Emperor, and the com mander of the army, is a strong Christian and Vice President of the x. M. C. A. He told ns that he was open to conviction on the peace question, and it it were not for certain con ditions, he said, the German army could be abolished. With Russia on the east and France on the southwest, and both conntries likely to make an attack on Germany at any time, the standing army has to be maintained. he claimed. Germany has made friends with Italy, Austria and Sweden, and, if It could maintain the same relations with France and Rusia, the Germans would disarm. ONE THOUSAND MINISTEUS 'WASTED. The McCall Mission has taken up the peace canse and will sow the good seeds everywhere. I believe if 1,000 ministers were sent from En gland to France to preach the gospel of love of Jesus Christ the people would accept it. There are plenty of first-class preachers there who ran speak French flnentlv. but few Americans can. We expect to raise $50,000 to forward to the Mc Call Mission. Kev. W. T. Hubbard, of L'olumbns, O., was in troduced to speak in place of Hon. Tlieodore Fry. M. P., and said people who try to fill the shoes ot other rarely succeed on account of their feet not being large enough. He began by referring to tbe ureal curse of war and the commandment to love our enemies. He con tinned: The world has an idea that tbe peace sent! ment is a beamlful thing tor the millenni um but is not practical now. I believe every utter ance in the New Testament can be carried ont. In tbe words of Jesus. "Our mission is not to destroy tbe lives of men, bnt to save thrm." Years ago. when people differed, the ooly man ner of settlement was a recourse to swords, pis- tois or ouier weapuns. muscle anasKHI Here used to decide -rho was right, when every schoolboy knows that physical endurance can settle no question of right. An insult In the goncby days of this country was followed by a challenge to duel. When people cane t their senses, and combats became repnlsive, courts were established, where disinterested judges decided cases of justice and equity. If it is wrong for one man to tight with another, why should itrlot be wrong for a thousand or half a million men to do the same? If there is a law to prevent one man from engaging in combat with another, why should there not be a law to prohibit brothers of one country fighting and butchering those of another? NOT A TASK TO LOVE BEAUTY. I voice the words of Thomas Jefferson, that there is no excuse for war. It Is unreasonable, unchristian-like, and we sLould not be called civilized as long as we keep it up. Why should we not demand of nations that they have a court where all differences must be adjusted? We must stop the strife in our own country by turninc our swords into plowshares, and until we do this we cannot claim to be belter than others. It is nothing to love someboilr that is meet ana beautiful; some pcison we like; peo I le who have kindred characters with our own; but in tbe eyes of God it Is something to lovo our enemies, or those we do not like. If Tte arc not acting in accordance with the commandment, we must change our hearts. We should not claim to love our enemies, and then not do it. What would yon think of a man who would tell you he loved you. and then punched you In the face? What would you say to a man who shook hands with you with one hand and tried to punch your eye out with tbe other? The love in one's heart Is the supreme attribute ot his being. The people of this country rose up and de manded that slavery be abolished. They also demanded certain reforms alons certain lines, and they got them. When they rise np and de mand that armies be aoollshed, tbe Christian sentiment will have to be recognized. Representatives of 11 nations met in Wash ington to consider the peace question, and passed a resolution in favor of arbitration, by tUKII UlAClcm,C3 .II131U UGL1VCCU mem COU1U be settled peaceably, without resort to the sword. It will be jears before the grand thought and meaning of the resolution will be carried out, but its adoption marks an epoch in the world's history. When it came np in Con gress, both tbe Senate and House passed it by a unanimous vote. Two hundred and thirty two members of the British Parliament signed a petition and sent it to the President of tne United States, saying: "Your peaceful habits ought to lead the world in the direction of peace." PEACE AS A SOURCE OP WEALTH. Thomas Asbbury, of Manchester, Eng land, who was one of the delegates to the Iron and Steel Institute, made an eloquent appeal in favor of peace. He had a long list of statistics, showing the development of this country under peace laws. He con cluded by saying that the day is not far off when there will be a united cry for the abo lition of warfare. Rev. Dr. Cowan, of this city, made an ap peal for money to be sent to the 'McCall Mis sion, and spoke of the work being done in Europe. Eev. Dr. Pnrves also delivered a short address in the interest of the work. Secretary Wood will visit a number of prominent charitable people in the city, to day, and solicit subscriptions to carry on the work. LAST OF JHE SEASON. A Solemn Reminder of the TTIglitof Time, as Seen on Fifth Avenue An Oration on the Shorn Lamb ami Tempered Wind. A world-weary hat of yellow straw burst upon the visions of a few belated travelers along Fifth avenue last night. It hid from sight the dome or thought, and partly con cealed the features of a man who looked as if he suspected that every" person who saw him was associating the wearer with petty crimes and low-down offenses against so ciety. As tl.e combination drew near a party of poor bnt honest erentlemen who were dis cussing the great overcoat problem, one of them remarked: "It's tbe last one of the season." Tbe front brim of the hat drooped down over the poor man's eyes at this re mark like a total eclipse, and he lost his bearings for a moment, but, with the same courage which had prompted him to brave tbe biting comments of a cold and heartless world, he brushed the remnant ot July glory from his sight, ond plunged forward toward the land of the sunset, now filled with dark, sullen clouds. "Sad, isn't it?" queried one of the gentle men. 'Tea, but there may be a silvery lining to the -clouds that lower above him yet," chimed in another. "A vear ago last sp.iug my friend Pete Nolan, th'e pugilist, of Cin cinnati, was compelled to pawn his over coat, and, as he expressed it, that was a horse on him. The following winter was so open that he did not need it, and.in conse quence, his 'uncle had to keep it on the shelf, and, in Mr. Nolan's own language, that was a horse on the old man, making it a case of horse and horse. So you see, gen tlemen, the haudthat tempereth the wjnd to the shorn lamb may make that sonvenir in straw a thing of beauty vet" . Hat and wearer had laded from sight ere this little oration was ended, but if these lines chance to reach the unfortunate pair in their wanderings the orator will feel that his lite was not all in vain. AN AMERICAN INDUSTRY. How the Laundry Business Has Grown In the Country The TVasher Woman Period Passed Long Ago The Annual Meeting Begins To-day. The laundrymen of the United States and Canada will begin their eighth annual meeting at the Monongahela House this morning. About 100 delegates from New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleve land and Cincinnati had arrived last night, and the Chicago ctowd, including President Doremus, will be in this morning. Between 200 and 300 members are expected. The laundry business has grown to good sized proportions in the United States. The local men claim that 51,000,000 are invested in Pittsburg alone iu the indntry. Said L. H.DecKerman.of the American Laundry Journal: "We have passed the washer woman rjeriod lone aco. Improved ma chinery has been introduced, and a good class of rjeoDle have cone into the business. "Washiug clothes has been elevated, and has become one of tbe industries of the country. I do not remember how much money is tied up in laundries in the United States, but the amount runs into millions. The man who is not awake can't remain long in this trade. The laundry men are putting in new machinery of some kind all the time. It may be a new wring er this month, or a machine for ironing sliirt fronts. When somebody invents a better plan the old machinery is dropped and the new introduced." The sessions will continue three days. The programme includes discussions on subjects pertaining to the trade. One day wilt be taken up with a boat ride on the Monongahela rive'. The local committees are prepared to spend considvable money in entertaining the visitor?. AN ENTEKPBISE THAT WOULD PAY. A Proprietor Says Flttsbnrg Js Klpe for a Top-Notcli Hairy Lunch House. "This city is ripe for a metropolitan dairy lunch house," remarked the proprietor of a large downtown restaurant last night. "If I were looking for an opening I would not hesitate a moment at renting a nicely located building and starting one. It might not pay for a time, but it would only be a question of a few months when it would. In New York, Washington, Chi cago and, in fact, all large cities they flourish and make barrels of money. We have restaurants and restaurants iu Pitta burg, but no dairy lunch house. What tbe people want is a place where they can get nice, quick meals or lunches that are' above suspicion and at the same time have the service good and the prices cheap. "People have mistaken ideas about the profits of first-clas restaurants. They think that because the price is higher than they expect, they are being robbed. This is a mistake. Take it from year to year, the principal item in our trade is meat. Take the prevailing charges, and there is not a first-class restaurant in the city but what loses money on steaks and roasts. This may sound like a matter of assertion, but it is nevertheless true. Our expenses here are 540,000 a year, and there is not another busi ness in the city subject to the same risks making a smaller profit. Ask any of them, and they ill tell you the same. A first class lunch-house is the money maker, and, as I said before, if I was not tied up I would soon start one." LICENSED TO BOX MEDICINE& Tlie State riiarmacy Board Graduates a Number of Druggists. The work of the State Pharmacy Board in examining the papers of applicants for certificates was completed late Saturday night In all there were 197 applicants, 143 of them from tbe Eastern part of tbe State, and 54 from this city and vicinity. Forty-nine were passed as qualified assist ants nnd 47 as registered pharmacists, while the remaining 101 will be required to again come up for examination. The 90 who passed make a larger percent age ot graduates than in auy previous ex amination, and the class was a larger one than any before. Altogether the board is well satisfied with the outcome, and the members do not regret the. hard work tbey have put in during the past week. The session was the twelith quarterly meeting of the board and the next will be held about tbe first Monday in January at Philadel phia. A QUEER VIZ. Much Confusion In the Numbering of Houses on Bluff Street. "That's a queer system or lack of system numbering the houses on our street,", said a resident of Bluff street yesterday. "In many instances there are two or three honses with the same number. Who ever has charge of regulating the-numbering of houses should attend to his duties." An inspection of Bluff street confirmed the gentleman's statement. Within a few squares two houses numbered 160 werp found, two claimed to be 121 accordinc to tbe gilt letters on the transom, and 137 was found alongside of 1723, together with other incongruities and absurdities yery annoying to the residents of the street. Bitten by a Tramp. James-Fox, a tramp from Philadelphia, broke into a B. & O. freight car yesterday afternoon in the yards and refused to get out when ordered. Officer Boacb wascalled to arrest the tramp, but he 'gave battle and in the skirmish bit tbe officer on the wrist He was finally landed at Central ttatlon. Diamonds. What for?

A Feeling Prevalent That Pittsburg Should Have a Place Where BOYS CAN PREPARE FOR L1FEW0RK The Project a Stibject of a Good Deal of Careful Consideration. TALK WITH A MAN WHO IS POSTED For some time a feeling has been preva lent among certain people, both directly and indirectly interested in the matter, that Pittsburg shonld have an industrial school, where young men and boys could acquire a knowledge of the useful trades, and The Dispatch has been appealed to in various ways, to give the matter some attention. So lar as could be learned from careful inquiry, no steps have ever been taken in this direction in this city, bnt a project of this kind has been the subject ot much care ful thought by many representative citi zens. Mr. William McConway, of the McCon-way-Torley Company is one of the Gentle men who has devoted considerable time and attention in looking into the workings of such institntions in other cities. He was seen at the company's works, Forty-eighth street and Allegheny Valley Railroad yard, by a representative of this paper. He stated that some time ago he made an in spection of Colonel It. T. Achmuty's school, in New York, and was very favorably im pressed with its workings. In this institu tion many trades are taught, such as carpen tering, bricklaying, blacksmithing, paint ing, plumbing and stone-cutting. The classes, with the exception of that in plumb ing, are all taught at night, the school terms beginning in October and lasting until about the first of May. ONLY BUILDING TRADES IN IT. Colonel Achmuty, being an architect by profession, probably accounts for the fact that tbe handicraft taught in his school are exclusively those practiced in the building trades. Mr. McConway said that the school was patronized by young men from all over the country. He saw one from San Francisco and another from St. Louis, who bad re ceived thorongh instructions in architecture, but who wanted to acquire a practical knowledge of tbe building trades in order to better fit them for their protessions. "How is this school maintained?" was asked of Mr. McConway. "A small fee is charged, which pays in part the expenses of tbe tutors, but Colonel Achmuty. I believe, furnishes the build ings and meets all deficiencies. The insti tution is not conducted with the view of making profits, but to awaken an interest among the pupils and fit them out for the struggles of after life if they choose to follow a trade." "Do yon think there is a field for such an institution in this city?" "Oh, yes; not only here, but in almost any place where young men maybe growing up withont proper facilities to fit themselves ont with some reliable means of support." "It has been urged by some that organ ized labor would oppose any movement of this kind." NO EEASON FOE ANY FRICTION. "I do not see why it should. They have no trouble of that kind in New York, and the school has been running for some time now." "Have you heard any talk of a school of the kind being started in this city?" "I know of no movement in that direction, although I hav: talked with a great many people about it, and the are all ol the opin ion that it wonld be a very desirable sort of an institution to have in a community like this. There are a creat manr thincs to be considered, hone ver, in such an undertak ing. It might require a large or a small sum of money to establish it, according to the ambitions of the projectors. Then, the details of study would require much atten tion. There is the Girard School, of Phila delphia, and tbe Pratt School, of Brooklyn, both the result of bequests, where "the pupils are instructed in branches of learning outside of the trades. I have no doubt, however, that if the subject is once opened up there will be any number of opinions and suggestions offered that will be valuable, as it certainly has been carefully considered by many people in this city." Mr. McConway was asked what he thought of a plau suggested of devoting one depart ment of such an institution to the uses of am bitious yonng men who were blessed with inventive talent. He replied that the sup ply of inventors was quite large at the pres ent time, and that the market seemed to be qnite well supplied with inventions. HOT PEACE, BUT A SWOBD. Eev. C. E. Locke on the Downfall of Mon archical Governments. The Smithfield M. E. Church was crowded last evening by people to hear Bev. Charles Edward Locke, pastor of the church, preach on "Not Peace, bnt a Sword.' During the course of his sermon he said: "The spirit that broke the chains fettering 4,000,000 peo ple in this country and moved Dom Pedro to emancipate the slaves of Brazil was the sword of Christ, and it is a sword that never goes back to its scabbard. As it freed tbe serfs ol Bussia, it will continue to fight despotism as long as people exist and will flash to do tbe binding oi the high God. It will not be many venrs until every monarchical government will be swept off the face of the earth, and I believe the Czar of Bussia will be the last monarch. Impen etrable as the government exists in China, which system is out of harmony with the age, I believe the common people in that country will come forward and select their own representatives. The sword of Chris tianity is the weapon by which the aris tocracy in all conntries who are supported at tbe expense ol the masses is being, and will continue to be, fought with. "There is power in our hands to destroy, and do you not see the destructive element iu Christianity? The destructive element is unrisuanuy s sworn, ann it is cutting a swath among the offenders for Jesus Christ. Beligion is moving onward, and it shall reign despite monarchs. While there is a destructive element, there is also a con structive power. The sword of Christianity may overthrow governments, wreck institu tions and destroy palaces, but it gives the true religion. It destroys cannibals, but builds schools, inspires new philosophers, inaugurates new governments and insures happiness to the people. When the end of life has come, and your frail bark is being torsed about on the tempest near the rocks of destruction, yon see a ray of light and your bark is steered away from the rocks into the harbor of the divine God." A BULLET IK HIS BACK. The riobert Rifle Goes Off Again, and the Victim STay Die. William Layhcu, a boy about 12.years of age, is lying in a serious condition at tbe home of his parents, on Hemlock alley, near Forty-ninth street, from the effects of a bullet wound in his back. On Saturday afternoon he and a companion named Charles Kelly went out to Hite's Bnn to shoot nt a target Layhen carried along a Flobert rifle, and after shooting for some time turned the weapon over to Kelly. The latter had just taken aim at the tar-" get and pulled the trigger when Layhen passed in front ot the mark. The "ball struck him in the back. He was taken to his home and Drs. McCann and Norris sum moned. They probed for the ball, but could sot reach it as it bad lodged too deep. Layhen grew considerably worse .yesterday and it is teared the wound may prove fatal. Kelly lives on Fifty-first street JUST LOST HER WAY. THE PECULIAR FAILING OF MRS. PHILO MEN A PHILLIPS. Her Mind Strong and Clear on Questions of General Interest She Dreads Confine ment Her Condition Very Serious and She May Die. Mrs. Philomena Phillips, who was found lying in a stream at Homewood Cemetery on Saturday, is still in the Homeopathic Hos pital in a critical condition. Mrs.. Phillips has a habit of getting lost. Last spring she was picked up on Ninth street and taken to a physician's office and afterward returned to her home. She has been found wandering aronnd the streets of the First police district a number of times and has been sent home in charge of tbe police matron. Mrs. Phillips is the widow of Thomas Phillip1:, formerly editor and proprietor of the Post. After her husband's death she went to St. Louis, where her son now re sides, but became dissatisfied and returned to this city. Mr. Henry Klebcr, of Sandusky street, Allegheny, is guardian of the old lady. He said yesterday that Mrs. Phillips was very peculiar. Her mind is remarkably vigor ous in some respects, and she will argue social, religious and political questions fluently and pertinently. She is deficient, however, in the sense of location. She will wander abont the streets for a little while and suddenly forget where she is or where she lives, Mr. Kleber nnd her relatives have several times suggested to Mrs. Phillips that she take up her residence in some institution, bnt she rejects the idea with scorn, and insists upon per fect freedom, She formerly owned a little property, but sold it, receiving part cash and tne oaiancc in tne torm ot a mortgage. The money she placed in another mortgage, and has lived upon the earnings of the two mortgages. She is a good business woman, and whenever she is short of money goes to the Third National Bank and draws upon her account. For nearly a year past Mrs. Phillips has been boarding with Mrs. Christv, of Spring Garden avenue. On Wednesday she left home with $10 in her pocket, and was not seen again until she was picked up un conscious iu the Homewood Cemetery. Mr. Kleber does not think she was assaulted or robbed, but believes that she wandered around until she sank from exhaustion. ECKEBT TODEE ARREST. Tho Alleged Sit. Oltt er1 Embezzler Canght In Tarentum. Constable Langenbaker, ot Alderman Beinhaner's bffice on the Southside, left yesterday for Tarentum to bring back a young man named William Eckert, who is wanted for embezzlement. EcKert is one of the men formerly employed by a Alt Oliver liveryman named Sehsub, and who is alleged to have embezzled some money from him. In order to escape arrest Eckert left town and went to Waynesburg, where be met an 18-year-old girl named Emma Bilby, whose lather is a well-to-do business man of that town, and induced her to elope with him. The conple came to this city and lingered abont for two or three days, and finally Eckert again took a sndden departure to avoid Constable Langenbaker. Miss Bilby was informed that Eckert was a married man and had a wife living at Tarentnm. The girl was then turned over to a friend of the family who had been here looking for her, and she was taken back home. Saturday night Magistrate Succop re ceived a telegram from Tarentnm stating that Eckert was under arrest there, and wanting to know if he was wanted here. The telegram was handed over to Constable Langenbaker, who started after the pris oner. ONE OF AMERICA'S PE0DUCTS Aino&es and Interests a Foreign Guest of the Duquesne. "Ah, my boy, what kind of blacking do you use?" asked a youne Englishman to the Duquesne bootblack yesterday. "You can get a good polish everywhere in America, you know, but I can't get it in England. My bojr at home can't make my boots shine as youdo." "No," answered tbe boy, "England is not in it when it comes to blacking boots. We are at the top of the heap." "Ah, and what do you mean by 'top of the heap?' American slang, I suppose." "Bight you are. Better take me with you when yon go back, give a good salary, and I will see that your shoes always shine like that," as he gave them the finishing touches and yelled for the "next gent."

Delamatcr and Watres Stop Over Night in Pittsburg Once More. THEY THINE THEIU EliECTION IB SUEE Intelligent leaders of labor organizations who, in the exercise of their duty, have bad occasion to travel extensively throngh the the State report an overwhelming prepond erance of sentiment among the farmers, miners and other workers in favor of Patti son for Governor. Missionary work is being done in an earnest and nnnretentions way, and labor organizations are withont exception giving the ex-Governor their undivided adhesion and support. The miners have been heard from throngh their president, John B. Bae; the sentiment of mill workers is understood to be in favor of Pattison; and now a straight-out expression of sentiment is beard from the green bottle blowers and other workers. Ex-Master Workman John Coffey, of District 147, Green Glass League, has Deen in this vicinity for some time past quietly canvassing the neighborhood for Pattison. Befemng to tbe ex-Governor's prospects last night Mr. Coffey said: "I can sav. with tbe greatest confidence. tbat fully 90 per cent of the green glass workers in the State will cast their rotes for Pattison. I have been among them for sometime, and find that the sentiment among them is overwhelming in favor of the ex-Governor. There is every reason why it should be so. He has his past record to refer to, as being clean and honest, and workingmen who recognize In him a friend to their cause will be satisfied that by returning him again they will be sending a man to Harrisbnrg as Governor from whom they may reasonably expect an honest, open administration and legislation in the direction that they seek. "The sentiment I lefer to is not confined to green glass workers. I have not con fined my efforts to them. I find as strong a feeling among workers in other trades in favor of Pattison as among my own trade. And a very curious feature of the wave of popular sentiment tending toward Pattison is that the feeling for the candidate is just as strong in the eastern part of the State, where Republicanism is as strong as it is here. "We intend holding meetings, next week, to further Pattison's candidature. They will be addressed by speakers known to the men, and will begin abont Tuesday." BE1AMATER FULL OF HOPE. Senator Watres Slakes a Few Remarks Abont the Clarion Sleeting. Senator Delamater, with his party, ar rived in the city last evening from tbe trip throngh tbe oil country. As usual he had nothing to say for publication, but he is very confident of winning.. His side partner, Senator Watres, was more communicative. He said: "The re ports sent out of these wonderful Demo cratic meetings throughout the State are greatly exaggerated. I find they connt the few Republican kickers several times over. It is true a nnmber of Bepnblicans attended the meeting at Clarion, but they went just as Democrats go to our gathering'. The County Chairman was there, and I see they had him beralded as a kicker. He laughed at the idea, and merelv attended the meet ing to gather information about the Demo cratic strength. "The State is in first-class condition, and ire win come ont ahead with a good major ity. Tbe meetings at Clarion and Brook ville were well attended." Mr. Cadwallader Biddle had been to these two places looking over their charitable in stitutions and he came back with the party. Air. Biddle said the gatherings were well attended. He was much taken with the charitable homes in Brookville. He said he found all the institutions in good con dition, and he was satisfied with his inspec tion. Mission work nr lawrencevhxe.
