16 p 7 V wi"V FUN FOR EVERYBODY A Cambria County Man's Mistake Amnsemeni it Made and Ike r for Morris Mead and HIS ATLANTIC CITY VISITORS. Hot Styles of J'egistering at Hotels Change as Frequently as They Do in Any Other ilatter. ONE OP THE TKICKS OP FOKMER TIMES. A Clew Kcse of Thieves Tht Doesn't Ahriys Fool the Detectives. Superintendent Morris Mead, of the Bu reau of Electricity, had a little experience while going over to Philadelphia the other dav. which he will not soon forget. It will he remembered that a delegation of gentlemen and officials of Atlantic City were in Pittsburg for the purpose of inspecting the electrical system in use in tnis city. After taking iu the sights of the town and absorbing enough points about electricity to fill a hook, they started home, accompanied by Superintendent Mead. Outside of having lots of fun, the journey was uneventful until Johnstown was reached. At that point an cx-member of the Legislature, who is a Democrat of the purest ray crene, boarded the train, and at once began to let everyone within hearing know that he carried large sections of the vote or Cambria county in his inside pocket After declaring himself right and left, he started throuch the coach. "When he reached the scat where Kobert Stroub, Alderman"and President of Coun cils of the great summer resort, was located, he glanced at the gentleman hurriedly, and then remarked: "Ex-Lieutenant Governor Mack, I believe ?" TBAVELED UNDER FALSE COLOES. Jlr. Stroud modestly admitted that Black was his name, and the balance of the party taking kindly to the opportunity, the Cam bria county man was formally introduced to the distinguished running mate of ex GoTernor Patlison. A discussion of the situation was at once started, and finally the Cambria patriot suggested that it would be a good idea for Mr. Black to make brief speeches to the people along the way. Mr. Stroud met this argument with the plea that he was considerably in disposed and was on his way to Atlantic City for rest and recreation. This did not suit the man from Cambria, and as a compromise he volunteered to do the graceful himself. Everyone was in full sympathy with this sugcestion, and soatihe next station he loomed up on the rear plat form, and, with hat in hand, proceeded to deliver a few gems of thought as gathered from a Democratic standpoint He explained that ex-Lieutenant Governor Black was on the train, but his physical condition was such that he could not address the people as he desired to. Then he would unbelt and show the natives in a brief, but spirited Hianner, why it was their duty to support ihe entire Democratic ticket AX IDEA THAT CAUGHT OX. The idea caught on immensely, and at every station Cambria county was in it witb both feet. Tne original intention of the orator was to stop at Tyrone, but having fallen upon the opportunity of his life he went clear through to Harrisburg, kindling the beacon lights along the mountain tops wherever he found the fuel. He was taking his leave of the distin guished company with many sentiments of regret at the State capital when ex-Governor Pattison boarded the train. Bashing up to him the Johnstown delegate grasped him by the hand, and with much warmth, exclaimed: "Why, Governor, we have had a splendid time of it. Just came over from Johnstown in company with Chauncey BlacE. Had short speeches at every sta tion, and in fact received a perfect ova tion everywhere." "There must be some mistake about this. Mr. Black is in another part of the State doing some campaign work." '.So mistake at all, sir. Just left the gentleman. Know him perfectly, and I tell jou we bad a rousing time of it." By this time several members of the com pany had gathered about the gentlemen, and one of them hurriedly whispered that it was a case of mistaken identity. The ex-Governor took in the situation at a glance, and not being anxious to undo any good work, let the impression remain just as it laid. The Atlantic City delegation had many a laugh after the train left Harrisburg. Just before the traiu reached Philadelphia a lady, who proved to be the wile of the brother of Major Mclvinley, author of the tariff revision bill, said to a gentleman in the parly: "I enjoyed that Chauncy Black joke, hugely, particulaily as lam a cousin of the gentleman." A TEICK OF THE PAST. Some l'retendeil liattles That Took the Ilace of Medicine. "'So you are a reporter, ehl" was the ex clamation of a gentleman, yesterday, when tackled for a pointer. "Well," be con tinued, "I wjs once a newspaper man, and wrote editorials and called my brethren on opposition sheets all sorts of names, and enjoyed it But that reminds me: There used to come over me at times a pecu liar leeling, which I can onlv describe ns mental sterility. Though a ready writer when the fit wason me, I couldn't think of even an idea to jot down, and in despair I used to go to my friend, the enemy, who wrote editorials lor the opposing political organ, and request him to attack me or some of my friends, so that I cnula sharpen my pencil and use a meat ax in return. Did you ever do thai? Did you ever experience this dearth ot ideas? I think every news paper man does, at sometime or other in his career. You get to a point in your treadmill grind when you can't tread any longer." "And did the other fellow comply with your request?" "Oh, yes, and he would .come out the next day with a slashing rip-up of somebody in whom I was interested. Under its benign influence my mind would recover, and I would come back with sledgehammer blows. Tne battle would wax fierce for several davs, and then suddenly it would subside. The trick had accomplished its end, and the public was no wiser. I want you to remem ber, too, that I always returned the compli ment when it was necessary." AN AXCIENT HEEHAW. ATTealthj-MillOrroeror Naples Speaks of His Early Experiences. One ot tjpe most interesting of Pittsburg's recent visitors from abroad, who escaped newspaper notice on account of the number here, was Mr. Patterson, of Xaples, Italy. He was born in Iforthumbria, En gland, and was sent to Italy by George Stephenson as fireman on the first locomotive that ran in that country. He is now 75 years old, and what is peculiar about him is that he speaks with a strong English accent He handles the Italian also very fluently, but he has never for gotten how to use the mother tongue. He related a number of stories about the late Pope, whom he hauled around the conntrv when he vent a visiting. The Pope on sev eral occasions presented him with fine medals. Mr. Patterson crew up with the country, and from fireman he drifted into the iron business. He owns extensive mills in Naples and is a very wealthy man. He at tained his position by his own exertions, and his life shows what pluck can accom plish, even in a strange land. FAILING MINING CAMPS. now the City of Gnnnlson Has Declined to a Simple Village. The rapid rise and sudden fall of mining camps in the "West is a painful subject to those who have been bitten, and especially to the Colorado newspapers, who are ever ready to defend the wonderful mineral resources of the State against any other in the Union. A Pittsburger who traveled considerably in Colorado this summer made a few observations yesterday that may be pertinent. Among o'tner things, he said: "It is surprising how many ruining Jtowns in the West have declined since their incep tion. The amount of money that has been lost in real estate alone is enormous. Under the excitement of a mineral find men would lose their heads, and build nne towns with the hope that some day the projected city would" become one of the greatest in the Union. Of all the mining camps to-day in Colorado there are really only two, Lead ville and Aspen, where the yield of ore is sufficient to keep the population. "I have in mind now Gunnison, which I must pathetically describe as the deserted village. Eight years ago it had a mighty boom, and its people predicted that it would soon leave Denver in the rear. That time has never come. The population has de creased from 8,000 to 1,500, and there are not less than 500 vacant houses in the town. The ore deposits failed, and the teeming little city went down with it The fine hotel which was built by St Louis capitalists at aheavy expense is cow used as an eating station by the Denver and Rio Grange road. A side track from the main line has been built to its door, and here the hungry passenger is regaled in a dining room that reminds him of a big hall. The many tables are still there, but the proprietors have learned long ago to set only a few. Off on the mountain sides can be seen the holes in the ground and the rotting incline planes. These were once Gunnison's glory, but the luster has departed." A VEEY BUSY MAN, Lewis Emery, Jr., as He Appeared at the Hotel, Yesterday. Lewis Emery, Jr., sat in his room at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, yesterday, a very busy man, answering telegrams, preparing new data, and receiving old friends and In dependent Republicans who wished him and his cause success. His side partner, Chairman Mapes, occupied an adjacent room, trying to sleep and get relief from a severe headache. "How are you, Lew?" said David Ray, who jnst entered. "I see vou are a busy man, but I will be at the meeting to-night I wish you success." "But I have nothing at stake in this cam- Eaign," answered Emery. "I don't know ow I came to get in it, unless it was that I opened my lips, and I have been speaking ever since in no uncertain words. I think from present indications that Delamater is licked, bat the Republican managers may be able to turn the tide. I understand they expect a great deal from the national issue boomerang, which they will work from this time to election day. It may succeed. I don't know, but thev are in tight quarters now; there is no mistake about that" Mr. Emery held in his hand a little paper entitled, "Emery's Boomerang," issued from the Republican State Committee's press. A number of passages were marked, and he said: "I intend to confine myself this evenine to answering this paper. I will introduce some new data and show how Andrews first secured his election. I want to speak first and get through early." Mr. Emery is looking very well. His sparse locks were carefully combed to cover up the little bald places that are beginning to appear on his head. His voice was sharp and cheerful and he is full of hope. CLEVEB ETJSE OF THIEVES. They Escape Recognition by Officers by Mowing Their Noses. "I thought that fellow was a thief," said Assistant Superintendent of Police Soger O'Mara last night while walking along Smitbfield street. He stopped suddenly and turned around to observe a man who was walking across the street and hnrriedly threw a handkerchief to his face. "It s an old trick," said the sharp-eyed official, "and is often worked with success by thieves to escape identification. While walking along the street a thief may see an officer who knows him too late to get out of the way and to escape recognition, he puts np his handkerchief to blow bis nose and manages to cover most of his face so the officer cannot see his 'mug.' "People often ask me how I spot crooks when they strike towD, and I never know how to answer them. There is something about a professional thief that he cannot throw off, and an experienced officer can notice it in a minute. There is something about a crook's walk, a short turn and a general hunted, nervous look in their faces that betray them. Instinct, I suppose, has a great deal to do with spottinganew crook, but I can never tell what prompts me to lay hands on one. It is comforting to know that there are no crooks in the city now, or if there are any they manage to keep out of the way and are not doing anything at their trade." ME. AND MES., THE CAPEB. Stjles Change on Hotel Registers as Well as Anywhere Else. "Did you ever know that the styles change in the manner of registering one's name, as they do in everything?" said Edward Landis, the well-known Seventh Avenue Hotel clerk, "yesterday. "Of course you don't, but they do. all the same," continued Mr. Landis. "instead of registering hylvester Emory Thomson Histyle and wife,' as it used to be, it is now 'Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Emory," etc. I do not know where it started, or if any reform association ureed the change, hut it seems to be the proper thing. The people that register Mr. and Mrs., I notice, belong to the best classes and it must be the proper thing. Ton can always tell a newly married couple as far as you can see them. Very often a man will come in accompanied by his bride and in a nervous manner will put down his name. When we politely ask him if he hasn't forgotten his wile, he blushes all over and makes some apology for the omission. Of course they want the best in the house, and if we had any rooms at $100 a day some of them would want them. On the next trip they will be unac companied by their wives, and then they will kick all day for a $2 50 room with a bath, fire and everything else."

FARMERS PROSPEROUS THIS YEAR. He Says Prohibition Has Been a Cnrse and Stopped Immigration. EFFORTS TO HATi! TOE LAW EEPBALED W. D. McCormick, a Wichita real estate agent, has been at the Monongahela House for several days. In a long interview he spoke to a Dispatch reporter of the future of Kansas, and took occasion to contradict some statements made by a Western corre spondent recently. He said: "Such a condition as that Topeka corre spondent pictures is an injustice to our State. Newspapers aim to state facts, but it too often happens that a Western correspondent is over anxious to make a column or two for an Eastern journal, and he draws largely upon his imagination, or, if be does not like his place of residence, perhaps on account of some trivial dissatislaction, he is too apt to make a clean sweep and condemn every thing. Your correspondent says: 'Kansas, Columbia's pride, is dying;' that her star has gone down into' obscurity, leaving a darkened land. Now, it is patent to every well-informed person that the agricultural districts have suffered in Vermont, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, in fact, in all the States. Farm produce has been low, while agricultural lands have depreciated in value throughout the entire coun try. Kansas has been no exception, as a matter of course. It must be borne in mind that Kansas is a new State, especially the extreme western portion. I admit that much of the land in the western part of the State has been abandoned. The correspon dent should not permit his readers to rest under the impression that such abandon ment applies to the State at large. He even asserts that it is so in the eastern part, which is not a fact I cannot name the exact figures, but by reference to statistics it will be found that Kansas is less mort gaged than some other Stites not possessing as great agricultural resources While it is true the oats and corn crops this year were a partial failure, the hope of the farmer in Kansas rich soil has not been abandoned. A TEW FIGURES AS TO OUTPUTS. "I can recall a few figures concerning the crops of 1S89 and 1890, in the 11 counties immediately tributary to Wichita, Sedg wick county. "In 1889 these 11 counties raised: Corn, 53,000,000 bushels at 12 cents, 6,625,000; wheat, 12.000,000 bushels at 45 cents, ?5,400,000; oats, 10,000,000 bushels at 12 cents, 1,200,000, making a total of 13,225, 000. "It is estimated the same counties pro duced in 1890: Corn, 13,500,000 bushels at 35 cents, 4,725,000; wheat, 11,000,000 bushels at 85 cents, 9,350,000; mis, 7.000. 000 at 23 cents, 1,750,000; total, 15,825,000. "This shows that the larmersin that local ity are 2.600,000 better off than they were last year, and to this should be added the advance of at least 20 cents on the old corn, several million bushels of which are still held by farmers in these 11 counties, several individuals to my personal knowledge hav ing 20,000 to 30,000 bushels. The great trouble with Kansas is her shiftless farmers, and those who abandoned the Western por tion of the State were mostly of that class who are constantly "going West," who are never satisfied any place. What we want are more of your thorough-going.hard-work-ing Pennsylvania farmers, and more par ticularly the industrious German. "Where you find these on a Kansas farm I will show thrift and prosperity. I visited an industrious farmer just before I left Kansas and he had been to town the day before to pay off a mortgage of 2,000 now on his farm, which bears 6 per cent interest and is .not dne until the latter part of 1893. The satisfactory prices for grain this year have enabled many farmers to liquidate their indebtedness. "Regarding the decrease in population in the last three years, I must admit it is large, and the population of the State at present, while claimed by the present Prohibition Republican- administration to be 1,680,000, is in reality not over 1,300,000. It has been impossible to get the official fig ures from Superintendent of Census Porter, and they will undoubtedly be held back un til after the November election. Politics at this time is in a chaotic state, aud the agita tion from present indications will not fail to bring about good results to the people of the State at large. We have the Prohibition, Farmers' Alliance or People's party, Democratic, Prohibition Republican, which is the present administration, and the resumptive Republicans who favor a revote on the prohibitary clause of onr Constitution, and who are in accord with the national Republican party. The latter have uuited with the Democrats and placed on .their ticket for Governor, ex-Governor Charles Robinson, of Lawrence, who was the first Governor of the State, and while lie is at least three score and ten, he is well preserved and as-active as a man of 50. He has always been a Republican uutil the past six years, when he assumed an inde pendent position in politics. His election is almost a certainty, and the people gener ally conceive that his administration will bring a new era of prosperity to Kansas. EXPECTS PEOHIBITION TO GO. "It is written that prohibition must go, and the damage it has done our fair State will soon disappear. I am strongly in favor of temperance, but what may be styled 'Kansas prohibition' should have no advocates among people who abhor hypoc risy. Many Kansas people write East about the glorious success of prohibition, and even the ministerial meeting held in Wichita a short time since, which was of a local nature, drew up and were about to pass resolutions declaring prohibition a grand success, when one of their number would not subscribe to such a misstatement and forced them to materially modify their declarations. Dr. Talmage, of New "York, lectured in onr opera house a ter months ago and in his retvarks thanked God for the great success of prohibition, while within the very sound of his voice 75 saloons were in full blast, secret dives of iniquity, traps to catch the youth of our city and each one five times worse than an open, well-regulated saloon. These places were at that very time under the supervision of three police commissioners, two of whom are dea cons in the church and known throughout the State as in the front ranks of the Pro hibition leaders, one a banker and the other a lawyer. Hypocrisy cannot find an advocate in me, nor should it with anyone who is honest in purpose. "Again, these numerous places through out the State yield no revenue under the law, but on the contrary frequent prosecu tions, with few convictions, pile the taxes upon our people. I say that Kansas is not dying, but she is recruiting her forces, and will be, indeed is, -one of the best States in the Union, and will rise to her proper place when we drive crankism and unjust sump tuary laws from our statutes and thus invite immigration. THE WOBKSHOP OP AMERICA. "I like Pittsburg very much, indeed. I should say it is the workshop of America, and its stability is far ahead of any city in the country. 1 cannot recall a place whose future is so bright with promise. I am quite in the notion of making some investments here in the near future. I believe the next ten years will show a wonderful increase in your industries and population." R. J. Brown, of Leavenworth, who is also in the city, takes issue with Mr. McCormick on the question of prohibition injuring the State. He thinks the State is" all right, in spite of the reports that have been sent out abont it. He doesn't think the Republican party ought to allow any reforms to come from without the party. If local option is demanded, he says, the Republican party shonld see to it,and not allow the opposition to legislate for them. Mr. Brown is a former PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. Pittsburger, having left here in 1857 to settle m the State he now steps forward to defend. PUMPING ON SUNDAY And the Complications It Has Id to and Others to Ensue Suite and Counter Suits Damages Kesulting From a Forced Shut-Down. It is believed that there are people in Robinson township who, in the language of the late Henrv Ward Beecher, would cut a kitten's tail off if they detected it playing with it on Sunday, aud it seems that some of the over-plumb in this respect have gotten themselves into trouble in consequence of being unco' good. At or near Forest Grove is the J. M. Graham farm. There is a well on it which produces 300 barrels of oil a week. Of late the operators have been troubled by salt water and it required the daily operation of the pump to prevent it from getting the better of the oil flow. The pumper was in formed by the company to operate the pump on Sunday. He did so, and thereby aroused opposition on the part of some Sab batarians. Notwithstanding the company felt that the well should be pumped continuously, instructions were given the pumper, Charles Smoyer, to cease from 7 o'clock in the morn ing on Sunday, until dark, so as not to rasp the feelings of the objectors. The offered compromise did notsatisfy the objectors, and one, named Moore, made an information be fore 'Squire Edmondson charging Smoyer with prosecuting worldly employment on the Lord's Day. He was arrested, and, as alleged, no levy was made on his effects to secure the 25 fine and costs and neglecting to pay, he was sent to jail in default. Yesterday W. F. McCook, Esq., drew the attention of Judge Magee to the case, and after a hearing, he ordered Smoyer's dis charge. It is said this will not be the end of the matter. It is alleged that the detention caused by objection of the strict Sabbatarians has not only injured the pump ing apparatus, the corrosion of which was prevented by the lubrication of the oil while passing through the valves, but the enforced suspension has also reduced the output one half, or 150 barrels a week, thus laying the foundation for two suits, one for damages for false imprisonment, and the other for damages for loss sustained by the susnension of oDerations held by the ag grieved parties to be as much a work of necessity as the drawing of an ox or an ass out of a pit on the Sabbath day. MUSIC FOR POPLAR MEETINGS. A Request of the Chairman of a P. E. Mis sionary Council Committee. Rev. W. N. Webbe, Chairman of the Com mittee on Music of the P. E. Missionary Council, hasf issued a circular to musical people generally, in which he says: In connection with the session of the council, popular meetings will be held in Carnecie Hall on Tuesday ana Wednesday evenings, October 21 and 22. at 8 o'clock. An adult chorus will be needed to lead the singing at these meetings, and for this the Committee on Music ask tor volnnteers from the choirs, congregations, and mnsical societies of this city and vicinity. The final rehearsal will be held in St. Andrew's Church on Ninth street, below Penn avenue, Monday evening. October 20, at 8 o'clock sharp. Hutchlns' Hymnal will be used, and those who can do so are requested to bring hymnals. All of the musical societies in the city and Allegheny have been invited to assist, and many of the members individually have agreed to sing on one or both of the occa sions in Carnegie Hall. City Organist Leonard Wales will play. DEFIANCE TO SuPERSTITIOK. Marriage Licenses in Unlucky Numbers and on Unlucky Days. Captain Hieber, who presides over the marriage license department of Register Connor's office, states that when he first took charge there were very few people who took out marriage licenses .on Friday, bnt that lately the superstition seems to be dying out. Not only do people take the risk of an alleged unlucky day, bnt the unlucky num ber 13 has marked the total of several Fri-j days, and so far as heard from no had results have followed.

Its Snccess Due to Lavish Use of Money by the Exhibitors. OVER $25,000 SPENT BY PNE FIRM. The Show a Great Advertisement for Pitts bar and Her Interests. A LARGE FIRM MAY MOTE TO THIS C1TI The Expo halls are still; the mad carnival of40daysis over. For 40 days thousands have surged through the halls and all has been life and activity. But now 'tis o'er and the reaction and reckoning time comes to the exhibitors. To the visitors is only left to read the echoes of the big show and rum inate on memories of the Expo of 1890. The success of the present Exposition is said to be due largely to the lavish hand with which exhibitors have spent money. A number of the exhibitors have spent as high as 5,000 and up to 10,000 since the Expo opened, but the firm making the He No Tea exhibit have capped the rliniax by an expenditure of a trifle over 25,000 and say they do not regret it. SOME INTERESTING DATA. Yesterday a member of the firm was bal ancing his accounts, and gave a reporter some interesting data regarding the number of enps of tea given away and other novel things about the stand. Since the Expo opened a little over 300,000 cups of tea have been given away, about an average of 7,500 each day, or 100,000 less than the whole at tendance in numbers. All of the exhibitors and employes of the two buildings have been given tea by the quarts and gallons. The exoense for cream each week has been over 40, and the incidental ex penses ontside of salaries foot np 200 per day or 8,000 for the whole time. The Japanese garden and summer house have been thronged daily and a large pro portion of the visitors had an idea that it was put their as an advertisement. This firm of Martin Gillet & Co. is one of the oldest and most reliable in Baltimore. Mr. Gill, a member of the firm, said yester day: "I am very well pleased with Pitts burg. You have such nice people here, and it is a wideawake and pushing city. There is nothing like making things move when you put your hand to the lever, and Pitts bnrgers have evidently learned this fact. This Exposition is one of the most success ful I ever attended, and has been a great benefit to the city as a municipal advertise ment, and also for the exhibitors. PITTSBURG NEEDS BOOMING. "I believe that it pays to advertise, and if you make anything go you must boom it. Pittsburg must not be afraid to spend money. 'Nothing venture, nothing have,' you know. At least that is the principle our firm goes on, and then if you are honest in your dealings the public will appreciate your endeavors." It has been stated that this firm are so well pleased with Pittsburg that they are contemplating moving their large import ing establishment lrom Baltimore to this city. Its central location would, it is thonght, make it more desirable, and the freight would not be so very expensive. The firm's capital is up in the millions of dollars. A member of the firm was seen just as he was leaving the Expo last night. He said, jokingly: "I haven't heard of it yet if such is the 'fact. But I wonld like to live in your city. The story may have started by my saying one day that we pro pose introducing He-No Tea 'in this section if we had to move here that's true." THE SHOPPERS' GOAL.
