THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, STJ2-TDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1S90. ,
18
The chief interest in Grand Army circles,
last week, centered in the arrangements for
the trip to Detroit next year.
Post 3 at its regular meeting last Monday
evening, appointed a committee of five to
take charge of all arrangements for the
port's trip to the National encampment It
is desired that all the comrades who intend
participating in the trip attend the meetings
or the post and subscribe their names to the
list of the club. Comrade Armor, Secretary
of the club, will have the list ready to-morrow
evening. The Secretary would like to
have the names of the comrades as soon as
possible, so as to enable the committee to
make the necessary arrangements. Com
rades intending taking ladies with them are
also cordially invited to participate with
Post 3 when their own posts are making no
special arrangements. The committee ex
pects to form a club of at least 159 members.
Ccmraoes are urged to report as soon as pos
sible. Hotel scconiniadations may be limited
for the occasion, and those who defer too
long may be disappointed in securing the
same.
Officers of Post 206 s Detroit Clnb were elected
last w ct'k. They are Comrade John C. Thomas,
President, Comrade J. E. Johnston, Secretary,
ana Comrade R. L, Jones, Treasurer. The club
ttartednith about 15 names. It is expected
that nearl all the members of the post "111 go.
Their number will bo swelled by outsiders,
several or uham have already made application
Tor membership in the club.
The bop committee of Tost 1573 Detroit Ex
cursion Association is delighted over the pros
pects of the reception and hop to bo given at
Turner Hall on Halloween. The members have
been vorkiug hard tor the success of the aifair
snd are already seeing the effect of their good
work. The members of the po6t are especially
desirous that it be a success on account of Its
being the first of a eerles intended particularly
for the joung people, who will no doubt enjoy
them to the lullest extent. The indication's
seem to predict that the first will bo an elegant
affair.
At Post 151's meeting last Tuesday a commit
tee was appointed to devise ways and means of
lormiug a Detroit Club. The committee will
report to the post on next Tuesday. The proj
ect is in good hands, those of Comrades Du
vall, Alas and Fiauk. A large membership in
the ciuh is expected.
Post lETs Detroit arrangements are looming
up m a pleasing manner. Members are being
added l the list at ci ery meeting and the in
dications point to a club of large numbers.
Interesting Statistics of the "War.
Borne interesting statistics are gathered from
the Fox historv. Out of 2,000,1)00 soldiers three
fourths were Americans. Of the 600,000 of
foreign birth, Gcrmanv furnished 175.000, Ire
land. 150.000; England, 50,000: British America,
0.000, and other conntrie?, 75,000. The average
height of the American soldiers was 5 feet k
incucs. The men from Maine, Indiana, Iowa,
ilis-ourl and Kentucky were slightly above
this a ure. West Virginia's soldiers averaged
5 feet 9 inches. The average would have been
greater had boys from 17 to a) vcara not been
included. Out of 1,000,000 recorded heights
tnerc were s.nu men over b leet a tncnes tall
and among tlieni were some over 7 feet. Regi
'"mentsand brigades could have been formed
that would bave surpassed the famous eiant
guards ot Frederick the Great. Tbe averace
weight of tbe soldiers was 143 pounds. The
tallest man in the service was Captain Van
liuskirk, of the Sevcntv-sevenlh Indiana, for
whose stature the testimony is complete that
he stood h2J inches in his stocking leet. The
shortest mau in the army was one in the One
Hundred and "SInet-secbnd Ohio Regiment.
He was 24 years old and was 10 inches in height.

not belong to him. It has been stated several

not a tact. He was a member of the color
company of the regiment and brought home

pcy. The colors were presented to the post by

was appointed by the post to bear the Sixty

The opening of the new home of the Acad
emy of Science and Art was a notable event in
the history of this city. It is no figure of
speech to say tbat the elegant old mansion on
Fifth street was crowded dunng the evening
with cultured men and women, all interested
directly or indirectly in tbe various arts and
sciences, and all enjoyed with a keen zest tbe
feast spread for their pleasure by the various
organizations which have been drawn together
by the new academy. The occasion was a fit
one for the Interchange of congratulation, be
cause never before was the prospect of in
tellectual activity in the direction of art and
science In Pittsburg so promising; and tn6
opening of this building was the leelti
mate ontgrowth of the new energy.
The variong societies, each in its own way.
contributed to the combined exhibit, and
notable among the collections was that offered
by the Pittsburg artists through the art so-
unrAfitv. Tunntr.twn niptnrM in all W6r6 ex
hibited. Mr. George Hetzel contributed works
entitled "Lovers' Lane," "Paint Creek," '"Oc
tober," "Landscape" and "A Study From Na
ture." Mr. Joseph R. Woodwell offered "A
Blue Dav. Magnolia," "Gloucester Harbor,"
Tim Ttnclrs " Vnrmon' Wno " "Off Cobble-

Much interest is being felt in art circles
throughout tbe country touching the subject of
the art exhibit at the Columbian Exhibition of
'SI3. "It is probable," says the New York
World, "that a call will soon be issued to
American artists and art patrons to unite in
some decided expression of opinion regarding
the work to bo done in this direction to secure
a creditable display." It is universally con
ceded tbat the showing of American art at
Paris alone redeemed tbe American exhibit as
a whole, and there is no good reason
why the exhibit of art works at Chi
cago may not fitly represent the great
progress made during recent years in this di
rection. It should do more. It shonld make
plain to tbe minds of national legislators from
the wild and boundless West, as well as those
from the mercantile East, the importance of
art to this nation, and result in the establish
ment of a national academy of fine arts. Even
if these honorable legislators fail to appreciate
the Importance of the subject they will at least
have an opporturnity, in Chicago, of discover
ing the comparative merits of pork and art,
and thereby be enabled to deal intelligently
with France when the question of an inter
chance of these products along the line of rec
iprocity again comes up for discussion.
Another collection of paintings Is an.
nounced to arrive in Pittsburg during the

A FINE COUNTRY PLACE PICKED UP.
Talk ot an Advance of the Standard of
Yalue on Diamond Street.
MORE lNTEEEST TAKEN IN BUILDINd
One of the most picturesque places in the
Sewickley Valley changed owners yesterday,
through the agency of Messrs. Black &
Baird. It consists of a handsome brick
dwelling and nine acres of ground, tastefully
laid out, and is situated near Shields station.
General A. L. Pearson was the purchaser.
The owner was "W. J. Meek, of Chicago.
The consideration was $11,000.
General Pearson will remove his lares
and penates to it and make it his home.
May Elevate Values. .
Jnding from the talk of the street it is
quite likely that the Kuhn property, to be
brought nnder the hammer on the 25th Inst,,
will go at a price that will raise the standard
of value on that part of Diamond street. The
last sale in the locality, about a year ago, was
at the rate of 1,300 a front foot.
The Kubn property is in two packages both
original. Tbe drift of opinion is tbat the lot
on the north side of the street, with an old
building, will bring at least 1,500 a foot, and tbe
other, on tbe south side of the street, as much
or more, with the additional value of the im
provement added.
Give the City a Chance.
When such a man" asChauncey M. Depew
predicts a great future for PIttsburg.even golfg
so far as to say that it will equal Philadelphia
in population in a short time, citizens should
go to wort to make his words good. This Is a
matter of special concern to capitalists. If
they will provide the houses the population
will be forthcoming.
A number of building schemes are being
talked up. some of which will no doubt be con
summated. The most recent of theso is being
developed by the commercial travelers of Pitts
burg, who bavo formed an organization to buy
land and build small houses in the East End.
Mr. J. C. Hill is President. He was negotiating
with Messrs. Anderson A Beeckman yesterday
for a large tract In the Fourtbteeuth ward.
A Thriving Suburb.
Several things have conspired recently to
bring Homestead into prominence. Perhaps
tbe most important of tnese is the projected
railroad to Pittsburg, which will materially
shorten the distance between the two points,
facilitating commnnlcation and opening to set
tlement a largo scope of country. Homestead
expects to profit largely by this enterprise.
Indeed, it has already had the effect of promot
ing activity in real estate, several important
deals having been effected within the past few
weeks. Building is also looking up.
Tho situation is admirable for manufactur
ing and commercial purposes, commanding
both railroad and river advantages, and having
an abundant supply of natural gas and coal. A
leading citizen said yesterday: "We are pros
pering as never before. Everybody is busy and
making money."
i
No Place for Croakers.
While tho speculative markets are depressed
by various causes, chief of which is tho diver
sion of money to legitimate interests, the
volume of general trade shows no abatement
of commercial prosperity. In the local trade
sltnation there is no exception to the rule of
profitable activity. In every lice there is un
usual industry, a fairly satisfactory margin of
profit, an active market for products, and a
healthy state of collections. -It would be diffi
cult for the must bearish croaker to find in tbe
general situation anything indicating an im
mediate reversal of the present favorable con
ditions. This wave of prosperity will rise and fall as
other waves bave done. Tbe halt and tbe
downward tnrn may be hastened or retarded
by future contingencies, but nono aro near
enough to warrant any fears of a material
check to the forward impulse.
New Buildings.
During the past week 34 permits were Issued,
representing 44 buildings 32 frame and 1?
brick, the total cost of all being 76,831. The
Twentieth ward led with eight, followed by tho
Nineteenth with six.
The number of permits taken out the pre
vious week was 89, representing 45 buildings,
the estimated cost of which was $48,355, Tbe
total number of permits issued this year to
date is 1,427, representing 2,490 buildings. Yes

Trading of Fair Proportions, but Values
Clipped Off a Trifle.
There was a fairly active movement In local
securities during the week, but as the selling
contingent showed up In strong force values of
most of the usually active properties were cut
down fractional amounts.
Closing prices, as compared with those of the
previous Saturday, show concessions in Phila
delphia Gas, Central Traction, Pleasant Valley,
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal, Electric
and Switch and Signal. Tbe only Important
advance was scored by Luster, which recovered
nearly all the loss sustained by the raid. Pitts
burg Traction also moved up a peg.
The depression was not due to the discovery
of any weak spots in the interests bandied, but
was In sympathy with tbe apathy at all other
speculative centers, occasioned In part by tbe
employment of money in other directions and
in part by the fact that investors bave about
all the stocks they want to carry through the
rest of the year.

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
Tho Weekly Bank Statement Has but Little
Effect on Manipulation of Stocks
Movements In North American
the Day's Feature.
New- Yoek, October 18. The trading In the
stock market to-day clearly demonstrated the
independence of the manipulators of the street
from any and all circumstances, which ought
legitimately to have a bearing upon the real
value of securities. It bas been known for
some days tbat tbe bank statement would show
a further decrease in the surplus reserve,
which for the past two or three mouths would
bavo been sufficient warrant for a raid upon
the list. But the temper of the street is so
completely changed that notwithstanding a
loss in the reserves of over 3,000.000 and tbe
complete wiping ont of the surplus, the market
to-day was strong from start to finish, closing
with material gains in many stocks.
The npward movement received also little, if
any, aid from outside sources, the foreign pur
chases being insignificant, but the confidence
which bas so lately been developed was most
noticeable, and all offerings were absorbed at
advancing figures. The traders were inclined
to discount tbe bank statement at tbe opening,
which was made on a very quiet business at
Irregular changes from last- night's figures,
with a majority of losses, which, however, were
for slight tractions only. The strength of the
speculation became apparent in May, however,
and prices began to rise all over tbe list with
the first sales, and before the end of the first
half honr gains of per cent had been estab
lished. North American leading the upward
movement.
Later there was a partial reaction, but tbe ad
vance was soon resumed, ana the bank state
ment, when Issued, had no more than a passing
influence upon tbe course of Quotations. All
Uie activity was in North American. The ad
vances are very uniform in tne active stocks,
but the pronounced movement was in Citizens
Gas, of Brooklyn, which, after retiring to 97,
rose to 100, closing at a 100. a gain of 2 per
cent for the day. The final changes, with ex
ceptions noted, were fractions only, but most
invariably in the direction of higher prices.
Bailioad bonds are a little more activo than
nsnal of late, the total transactions for the two
hours being 617,000. with the Atchison and
Kansas and Texas issues leadingin the trading;
The market was again firm to strong and At
lantic and Pacific lsts rose " to 16. Govern
ment bonds have been dnll and steady. State
bonds bave been neglected.
Tho .Pes says: The noticeable point in the
bank statemont is. that the decrease of specie
is 4,737,700, and the decrease ot deposits 3,221,
600. In regard to the great decrease in
"specie," it must be remembered that gold and
silvor certificates are called "specie, and tbat
in default of a supply of othor currency these
are sent to the interior for general circulation.
In so far as the movement of specie, or legal
tenders, in the Sub-Treasury is concerned,
there is reason to believe tbat next week's
bank statement will show a large decrease,
owing to the decrease of imports this week.
Tho percentage of the loans to tbe deposits
this week is 100 per cent, against 100 last
week, 97 in tho week to October 4, 06J in tbe
week to September 27, 100 in tbe week to
September 20, and 102 in the week to Septem
ber 13.

WALL STBEET GOSSIP.
The
Share Market Halting Between Two
Fires Money Bather Close.
Wall street is as unsettled as the sea, and the
f nture course of the stock market about as un
certain. John M. Oakley ACo's correspondent
brings this point out quite prominently. He
says:
The stock: market to-day has been less active
than yesterday, and by turns it has been strong,
weak and again strong. Tbo bank statement
was awaited with much interest. It showed
a loss of 3.500,000, which brlnns the reserves
about $300,000 below thelegal limit. The theory
ot tho bulls is that the return flow of money
will soon set In, aud that this will replenish the
deficit and put the banks In good condition by
-Official Reports

Canadian Government, 1889,
New Jersey Commission, 1889,
Ohio Food Commission, 1887, show

1R0 i-rnn crio-r than anv other Pure
yJo V5 LA KJlli CI cream of tartar powder.
4lc stronger than the highest ammonia powder;
42$ stronger than the highest alum powder.
This difference means, in biscuit making, that one
pound of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder makes
58 Biscuit Mare&'SEliK
tartar powder; 2obiscuitmorethanthe highest ammonia
powder; 130 biscuit more than the highest alum powder.
Ammonia and alum powders, no matter what their strength, are to
be avoided, as their continued use will injure the health.
Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is sold by Geo. K. Stevenson
Co., Wm. Haslage & Son, Kuhn &
Lockhart, Wm, France & Son, and other higtuclass, grocers
the beginning of the new year, but there is no
reason to expect any considerable accumula
tion of cash at this center for several weeks.
General business Is very heavy and Is requir
ing a very large amonnt of cash, and when It
once gets distributed over the broad area of
this country it returns slowly. There is no
donbt about the sentiment in the street being
more bullish, but whether tha professionals
will soon conclude that the market bas gone
up almost soieiy on tbe buying oy snorts ana is
therefore on an unsubstantial basis ia a ques
tion not to be determined just now.
The market bas had such a severe hammering

"Revolution In the Wheat Fit More Sellers
Than Bayers The Change of Base
Due to YFeali Cables
Fork Steady.
CHICAGO Wheat Only a fair business was
transacted to-day, operators were generally
disappointed at the change in tbe market. The
feeling was decidedly weaker, and, while yes
terday there was a general disposition to buy,
tbe reverse was the fact to-day. Outside busi
ness was only moderate. Tbe opening was
about the same as tbe closing yesterday, and
under free offering, there being a good many
selling orders on the market from the start,
prices quickly declined and then the market
held steady for a while, prices recovering X
c, hut azain took the downward course aud
this time declined c then followed numerous
small fluctuations, and the closing was about
Yffi lower than yesterday. The weakness was
partiauy aue to tne weaker tone 01 caois aa
vices. Corn was fairly activo and a little unsettled,
the market fluctuating frequently within a
lc range, but tbe close showed no gain, tbe
market closing about samo as yesterday. Mar
ket at tbe opening was firm, and first sales
were at io advance, after which tbo mar
ket sold up another c, reacted suddenly c
tbe temper of the local crowd being bearish
and disposed to sell freely on any display of
weakness. A .rally of Jc followed, and market
closed as stated above.
Oats Tho market was controlled entirely by
local influences. Opening sales were at JiKo
advance. Free realizing produced a weak
lecling and prices receded e, but rallied on
buying by a prominent operator, receded
slightly and closed a shade below yesterday's
last sales.
Mess Fork A fair trade was reported. Early,
prices rnled 57c higher, later, settled hack
to inside figures. Towards the close advanced
57 and closed steady.
Lard Trade was comparatively light, and
changes in prices were slizht.
Short Rib Sides Only a moderate trading
was reported. Karly prices ruled about 2o
higher, but later a reduction of 25c was sub
mitted to. At tho close tho feeling was firm at
medium figures.

J0HK L STJLLIVAH'3 BIBTHDAT
Celebrated With Great Eclat by His Tel
low Artists of the Stage.
Chicago, October 18. Yesterday was
John L. Sullivan's birthday tbe 32d, so he
said and he invited all his conferees of the
(heatrical profession to attend a special
matinee at Haymarket. Actors aud
actresses like nothing better than a matinee,
and they needed no pressing- to nock to the
Haymarket. Miss Itosiua Yokes was in a
box; the well-known playwright, Len
Grover, W29 in attendance, and it wonld be
a long list of names to mention the people
from Lawrence Barrett's company and other
organizations tbat were present. The show
folks were warmly demonstrative, calling
the new-fledged histrion repeatedly betore
tbe curtain. He bad to make a speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen: Thank yon very
much. Hope id the future as in the past
respectfully yours, John L. Sullivan."
The criticisms of tbe actors on the new ac
cession to their ranks were really liatleriug.
Thebe 53 no wisdom in suffering witb a
cold, when Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will
care it.

"THE ONLY PEOPLE."
Mr. Anderson, of the4 Sheriff's
Office, Makes an Emphatic
Statement, and Says He
Will Stand by It.
THE RESULT IS POSITIVE,
"It is probable there are few still llTing
in Pittsburg or its suburbs who can recall
tbe town and its surroundings aa far back at
the year 1S2S.
"In tbat year my father and bis family first
came to Pittsburg. I was not quite 9 years
old." -Xhe speaker was Mr. B. il. Anderson,
whom everyone in and around the Sheriff's
office knows and esteems.
Scott's Hill, over which Grant street now
runs.'' continued Air. Anderson, "was then a
vast orchard. My father's place ot business
occuuied the corner where the MonongaheU
House now stands.
Mr. X. 21. Anderton, Saysrilte, Allegheny
County, J'a.
"In 1830 we moved to Haysvllle, about 13
miles out cf Plttsbnrjr, where my home has
been ever since. Forty years of my life was
spent on tbe river packets both as captain and
engineer. 1 traveled all the river waters from
Pittsburg; to St. Louis and New Orleans to St.
Panl. It is because of a trouble brought on
dnrinf; that time from exposure to tbe fogs and
damp, heavy weather in tbe swamps that
brings me to cite this short history.
"It was at first like a cold. But soon my
head and nose were stopped on one side or the
other all tbe time. At times very severe head
aches in tbe back of my head and around my
left ear. A constant bnzzing or roarins noise
in my ears. My hearing then became dulled.
There was a continual dropping of matter back
into my throat tbat kept me hawking and rala
fng to clear it, and would often almost choke
me.
"A dry, hacking cough set in, sharp, shooting
pains would take me in the chest and region
of tbe heart. Aly appetite became affected.
What I ate caused me a distress and nausea at
the stomach. My sleep was restless and broken.
I would arise In tbe morning even more tired
than the night before. I continued in this con.
dltion for years, unable to find relief. I had
made up my mind almost that I was past being
cored. But alter reading so much of Drs.
Copeland and Blair and their very notable suc
cess I decided to try once more.
"I shall always be thankful 1 made tbat reso
lution" concludes Mr. Anderson, "for these
eminent specialists bave cured me and at so
little expense. Iheir charges are simply
nominal, even
"LOWER THAN TAXEXT 3IEDICESTE3.
"I am a well man as well as anyone could
be at my age, 73. I feel better than I bave in
long years, and will gladly verify this state
mont to anyone. Drs. Copeland and Blair are
the only people to treat such troubles and bo
positive of the result."
TREATING BY MAIL.
Sir. John Wright, of Chicago Junction, sayst
"Ir two years I suffered from lung fever. I
had given up all hope of ever being relieved.
I began treatment with Drs.Copeland and Blair
by niatL They have cured me entirely. To-day
1 am a well man."
Miss Lottie J. Forker, ot xTo. 2S9 Arch street,
Meadvllle, Px, says: "I was tronbled tor a
long time with an aggravated form of catarrh
of the stomach. Everything t had tried failed
to relieve me. Drs. Copeland and Blair's home
treatment cured me.
Mr. M, C iVilsnn, of Canonsburg, Pa says:
"For years I suffered from catarrh without
being able to find relief. Drs. Copeland and
Blair enred me treating me by mall."
Mrs. Robert Kamsev, of Washington. Pa
says. "For five years I suffered from chronlo
dyspepsia. I tried everything to no avail.
Drs. Copeland and Blair's treatment, by mall,
made me a different person."
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa.. Bays:
"1 had tbe most aggravated form of chronlo
catarrh, which no treatment seemed to affect.
Drs. Copeland and Blair's home treatment
cured me."
From Mr. Harry rhillips. of Hulton, Alle
gheny county. Pa.: "I suffered constantly from
chronic catarrh. Could get no relief. Drs.
Copeland and Blair cured me entirely, athome."
