Vho trill succeed Pension Agent Bar
clay? This was the most talked of ques
tion of general interest in local old soldier
circles last week. It has apparently
narrowed down to two men. Both of these
comrades are prominent and popular and
either would be satisfactory to the com
rades in general. These two comrades are
H. H. Beagough, of Post 157, this city, and
Chill V. Hazzard, of Tost 63, Monongahela
City. If it goes outside of Allegheny
countv Comrade Hazzard will in all probc
bility jet it. If nn Allegheny county com
rade be appointed Comrade Bengough will
be Pension Agent. Active work was done
all around last week. The matter will not
likely be settled before election, but im
mediately after.
Ladles of the G. A. IL

be an ntter failure. We antagonize no
society of a legal nature, but we feel
that the time has arrived when It is
necessary for the veterans to organize in a firm
brotherhood to help one another. "All things
being equal, to giva preference to its members

William M. Chase, the well-known painter,
discourses in a recent issue of the New York
Herald upon tho art of portrait painting. Mr.
Chase is always entertaining when he writes or
talks, and In this article he relates many amus
ing chats with distinguished sitters, and offers
many hints to students. He has this to say of
photography: The recent improvements in
photography have not aided portrait painting.
On the contrary they have retarded it They
have been the means of causing to be accepted
a kind of work as art which is rot art at all.
We become accustomed to see ourselves por
trayed by a camera, always blissfully conscious
that wo are about to perpetuate our likeness
for all time. Photography has causea miny
persons to fail to appreciate the differ
ence between the mechanical catching
of a likeness and real art work. They
gauge tho value of a portrait sulely by
it resemblance to the living original. Great
portraits have great art value In addition to
their value as likenesses They are valuable
as pictures as well as portraits. Tho
caricaturists on the comic papers make like
nesses. yet their likenesses are not works of
art. They are not line pictures. Upon every
corner we find a photographer's case filled
with machine made pictures, and after seeing
them many of us assume that we know a great
deal more than we really da Some of us are
able to buy a Bouguereau and wereallvlike
it yes, we really like it; and we think we
know what is good in art after having seen it,
and are ready to pronounce judgment upon
anything we come in contact with. We are too
much given to looking at the surface of
things."
Me. H. S. Stevenson shows this week, at
Boyd's, three small water-color paintings which
give evidence of conscientious work and in
creased strength. Two are pictures of cattle
and one a landscape, evidently painted at Long
Run, Mr Stevensoi is now engaged on portrait
work, and bis evening class has resumed with a
a promising attendance.
..
The quality or quantity of color which en
ters into the production of an oil painting is
not usually considered of any moment what
eer. It is a simple fact, hewever, that the
quality of the color used is of the utmost im
portance and has much to do with tbe final ap
pearance of a painting. There are certain col
ors which, if used, will almost certainly destroy
the brilliancy and finer qualities of a work.
Indian yellow and bitumen are notably danger
ous pigments. In a comparatively short time
tbey will change color and effect to a greater or
less extent all the colors with whirb. they have
been mixed. The Journal of Bhoiogmaphy
recently gave some interesting information
concerning tbe Sources from which colors are
secured. Sepia, for instance, is tbe inky fluid
discharged by the cuttlefish. Carmine is ob
tained from tho cochiueal insects. Prussian
blue is obtained by fusing horses' hoofs, and
other refuse animal matter with potassium car
bonate. Blue-black is from tho charcoal of
vine stalks. Turkey-red is from the madder
plant, of Hindustan. Gamboge comes from
tho yellow sap of the Siamese tree. Raw sienna
is a natural earth from Sienna, Italy, and um
ber is also earth, from Utnbrla. Real ultrama
rine is very seldom used and commands a fabu
lous price. It is from tbe precious lapis-lazuli.
Chinese white is zinc. Scarlet is iodide of mer
cury and cinnabar or native vermilion is from
quicksilver ore.
.
Mr. George Hetzel is engaged on a char
acteristic landscape which he will contribute,
with others, probably, to the exhibition of the
Academy of Fine-Arts, Philadelphia. The ex
hibition will open January 29. Mr. Hetzel
has resumed his duties at the Pittsburg Art
School, which is more prosperous this seascta
than ever before.
Mr. John W. Black became the possessor,
during the week, of a very excellent palming
by Mr. Wall Mr. Black displayed discriminat
ing taste in the selection of this Pittsburg
work, as well as excellent-business judgement,
because good pictures by Pittsburg artists have
steadily increased in value during the past few
years, and they are destined to still further in
crease. This is one of the legitimate results of
the presence in our midst, at f reauent intervals,
of collections of paintings from abroad. The
shrewdest picture buyeis begin to realize that
good pictures are good pictures, no matter
where produced, and that there is not alwajs
the wide difference in merit which figures
would seem to indicate. The presence of fine
pictures has also greatly stimulated the interest
in art generally, and are now no longer bought
for household decorations, but because of their
intrinsic w orth.
.
Mr. D. B. Walklet has returned from
Ohio, where he spent the summer, with many
good sketches as a result of the season's work.
He contemplates a trip to the mountains this
week, where he will spend a fortnight sketch
ing, after which ho will resume his duties at
tbe School of Design, and in his studio.
Did you ever chance to glance within tbe
covers of a catalogue and price list of plaster
casts? The glimpse or art caught therein Is not
suggestive ot poetry or the divine inspiration or
creative genius usually associated with the sub
ject Indeed there is the least suggestion of
tbe ludicrous in the presentation of the plaster-or-Pans
wares. "No. 6U0. nose of Minerva, 50
cents: No. 601, pumpkin, 50 centsr-602, mouth of
King Agnppa, 60 cents; 6U3, right eye of David,
by Michael Angelo, 1; nose of David, by Mich
ael Angelo, 75 cents; ear, left, ditto, 75 cents;
ear, right, ditto, 75 cents, and a great variety of
babies', boys' and girls' feet too numerous to
mention, all fine oasts, from 25 cents to SI !"
.
Mr. A. L. Daley has just completed a por
trait of Judge Magee, and is now engaged on a
portrait of Judge blagle. Mr. Dalby confines
himself to portraiture, and baa probably trans
ferred to canvas tbe features of more Pittsburg
people than any other painter in tbe city.
..
An interesting collection of works by Amer
ican wood engravers is being exhibited in the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which will con
tinue until November 30 next. Four hundred
and fofty-two engravings are shown, including
plates by Kinesley, Kruell, Lindsay, Mullor,
Powell. Putuam, Swithwick. Splegle, Stander
bour, Tinicey, Varley, Wellington, vVoir.
Anthony, Atwood, Fullerton, Husktn, Queitg

first named, Elarldge Kingsley, received the
highest honor at the Pans Exposition of 1890 a
cold medal. '
..
The Hazeltine collection of paintings arrived
Thursday last, and on Friday was displayed in
tne uiuespie ganery. xnere are many notable
names represented by the collection, and the
pictures will doubtless receive the careful con
sideration of Pittsburg connoisseurs.

Andrew Shorigi, the well-known artist in
fresco, returned last week from a pleasure trip
to Monongahela City. Mr. Shorigi has become
a very expert amateur photographer and se
cured as mementos of his vacation many re
markably clear and artistic negatives. One is
especially fine in the higher pictorial qualities.
It represents a youth, stanumg in a quaint
picturesque flatboat, poling it across the river.
Seated in the stern is a woman with a child in
her arms, and the motive is as flnoas need be
for an important painting.
The one hundred and fifty-ninth" reception
of the Art Society was held Monday evening in
the Academy of Science and Art, aud was a
most enjoyable one.
..
A small picture by Mr. A. S. Wall was seen
at tbe Gillespie Gallery for a brief time last
week. It is not very often the elder Mr. Wall
finds time In the hurry of a busy business life
to indulge his natural talent, but when ha does
he touches the canvas with a master's hand.
This little picture is nn usually powerful, even
for bim, and gave much pleasure to those who
realized its strength.
A VALUABLE collection of paintings belong
ing to George L Seney will be sold during Feb
ruary under the management of the American
Art Association.
A. Betas Wall paid a flying visit to the
city during the past week. He expects to re
main several weeks longer In the mountains,
near Scalp Level, where he is painting pictures
with sheep as the objects of special Interest.
During the week a new and excellent picture
by Mr. Wall entitled "Salting the Sheep," was
cxhlbltedat Glllesp ie's gallery.

A Good Business Property Picked Up
- on Diamond Street.
BIDS ON TWO OTHERS TOO WEAK.
Enhancement of Eeat Estate Due to the
Great Increase in Business.
THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY
The Orphans' Court sal e of the Kuhn
property, on Diamond street, yesterday af
ternoon, by Black & Baird, attracted a
large crowd of people, who gave close atten
tion to the proceedings. H. M. Smithson
was master of ceremonies.
Tne first parcel put un was the one on the
north side of the street cornering on Cherry
alley, lot 40x95. with a good three-story
building. It started at S2O.O0O and jumped
$1,000 and 500 at a time, until the bid
reached about J45.000. It then crawled up
slowly to fl9,O0O, at which figure it was knocked
down to George E. Shaw, a prominent attor
ney. This was a little d.sappointlng, as at least
S1.SC0 a foot front had been calculated upon.
The next parcel, on tho soutbside of the
street, was started at $20,000 and bid up to S50,.
600, this being subject to a $20,000 mortgage,
making the bid equivalent to $70,500. This was
below the mark, and as no one seemed disposed
to do better, tbe sale was adjourned. The third
parcel had a send-off of $25,000, which Increased
to $16,000, where it stuck, and there being no
disposition on the part of bidders to go higher,
further proceedings were postponed until tho
same hour next Saturday, when both of the un
sold properties will again be offered.
Delay Is Dangerous.
Real estate keeps moving upward right along.
Some people say it is booming. It is not. The
conditions prevailing are, however, very
healthy, and the inquiries are generally for
homes and not for investments of a specula
tive character. Land is getting rather 6carce,
and every piece that is plotted into lots Is
rapidly taken up by the middle and thrifty
classes, who believe that their savings can bo
put to no better advantage than by building for
themselves.
The Intelligent wage-worker of to-day wants
to better his condition, and mak6 such provi
sion lor bis family as bis means will permit,
and with that in view he sits down in the
evening and talks the matter over with
his wife, and together they reach the following
conclusions: "This a great big city, rich in
everything that nature and art produce, and
with the millions and millions at present In
vested in manufacturing enterprises of the
most substantial character, there is no such
thing as making a mistake in going along with
the forward march and investing our nickels
with the dollars of our rich neighbors, our
savings being only 4 per cent in bank, while we
are paying about 8 per cent on the investment
of our landlord." They reason again that rents
are going up every year, and the appreciation
of the property they are living in goes also to
the credit of the same person, and eventually
they are crowded out to make way for some
one who is willing to pay a higher rent. The
landlord wants all be can get, as a rule, and
there Is no alternative but to buy ground and
build or buy a house built by some other person.
The demand for houses and lots, at a fair
price. Is greater than the supply, and will be so
as long as this city keeps extending her indus
tries. Every extension of an established plant
brings with it the employment of new men, and
they must have houses to live in.
Tho building of houes is a pure business
matter. There is no sentiment in it, and they
will bo erected just so long as it pays and no
longer. To build houses one must liavo ground,
and the price n-cs Just as the demand in
creases. Ten years ai;o a man with ordinary
means could have bouchta lot for $500 that is
now worth $1,000 to $1,200. The man who
wanted it then concluded it was too high, and
he would wait, and now buys it at the advance,
and is glad to get it. It is the same way
with most people in everything else. They
wait until the eleventh hour of the day, and are
then compelled to take what they can get.
Every man should have a home, and from tbe
character of the transfers every man is trying
to fret one.
Tbe best evidence of the valne of land in this
city, and the extraordinary increase of busi
ness is in the number of six. eight and nine
story blocks that are taking the placo of two
a"nd three-story houses. The city is being re
built to accommodate the heavy business in
terests, and those who occupy the dwellings
mnst take to the suburbs. If anyone doubts
that they are getting there as fast as tbey can
let him watch the cable car and see the struggle
to even get a good hold of an outside rail, while
wseats or standing room is at a premium.
Scramble for a Uonse.
J. Ledlie Gloninger, of the firm of Black &
Baird, in speaking of the famine in small
houses yesterday, remarked: "We put a small
advertisement in The DisrATCii on Thursday
ot a small honse to let, and before noon ot the
next day we had between 40 and 60 applicants
for it, nearly all of whom were prepared to pay
in advance."
This is additional proof, and. of a practical
kind, too, that tbe supply of small houses is
totally inadequate to the demand. It would be
impossible to make a stronger appeal to capi
talists to take immediate steps to nieot the
emergency thu brought to light, than is con
tained in Mr. Gloninger's brief statement.
Fifty persons scrambling for one little house.
Think of it, yo men who have the remedy in
your own hands.

Local stocks about held their own yesterday,
as compared with Friday's figures, Philadel
phia Gas being about tho only thing that lost
ground, bnt taking the week through a lower
range was established on pretty much every
thing nn the active list.
Sales on call yesterday were 10 shares Du

10 atl8K. 100 Pleasant Valley at 26 and 10
Philadelphia Gas at 27. Total sales, 290 shares.
Total for tho week, 1,600.
Closing prices of ycsterday.as compared with
those of tbe previous Saturday, show tbe fol
lowing changes in the most active interests:
Philadelphia Gas lost l'i. Wheeling,2i:Switch
and Signal, 1, and Luster, . New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal gained X and Electric, .
Manufacturers' Gas also improved its stand
ing. Street railwrays were weak and neglected. All
through Investors seem determined not to take
hold until all complications are settled. It is
noticed, however, that when they reach a cer
tain point there is a buyer arouud.
Philadelphia Gas was depressed by executing
a few selling orders. The determination to
supply families only will increase the earnings
of the company and strengthen the stock. The
change is not a question of supply, but of more
revenue.

Grangers Fight Union Pacific, Depressing
Stock Lower Than for Several Tears
Favorable Bank Statement Causes
a Bally Sugar Secondary.
New York, October 25. The stocK market
to-day was a continuation of tbe depression of
the past two days, but Sugar Henneries took a
secondary position in tho market, although it
led in tbe amount of business done. Tbe bear
attack to-day was directed principally against
Union Pacific upon tho strength of the first
report of a disagreement between that road
and tbe Granger roads with which it connects,
and the pressure to sell the stock was so heavy
that its price was forced off to tbe lowest figure
known for it in years. On the theory that any
dissension in the West mnst result in damage
to all the roads in that section, the Granger
stocks were sold with great freedom, espec
ially St. Paul, which was second in the extent
of the decline. .
The trading, especially hi the latter portion
of the last bour, was enormous, but the cover
ing of the short contracts yesterday and to-day
in the leading stocks forced a material recovery
from tho lowest prices, which were fiomlto
4 per cent lower than last nlebt'B prices The
opening of tbe market under considerable
pressure was weak at declines from last night's
figures of from K to K per cent generally, with
exceptional losses ot kin Cleveland, Chicago,
Cincinuati and St, Louis and IK in sugar.
Tbe temper of the rouni was bearish, how
ever, on account ot tbe disposition of the
arbitrage dealers to sell the London favorites,
and the general expectation of an unfavorable
bank statement. The last named, however,
was a genuine surprise, in that it showed a
small increase .in tbe surplus reserve, instead
nf tbe material loss expected, and contributed
not a little to the final rally. The bears got
immediately to work in tbe Western stocks,
andshoitly after 11 o'clock Union Pacific was
down to 45K and 8t. Panl to 6, both being
lower than lor years. Tbe covering then begau
and the trading assumed very large proportions
while the recovery in everything traded in was
sharp, most stocks regaining nearly all the
early loss. Chicago Gas. Rock Island, Atchi
son, North American, Northern Pacific pre
ferred and Louisville and Nashville were all
prominent for their wide fluctuations, but only
the first named showed any material loss for
tne day. sugar Henneries was active, and while
it was forced off to 65 against 67 last evening,
it met with good support and closed with a net
loss of only per cent.
The final dealings showed .considerable
strength all through tbe list, and the close was
active and strong at the improvement. The
listis all lower, but the looses, except in Union
Pacific, which is 2 lower, and St. Paul i and
Chicago Gas 1, are for fractional amounts
only. Silver certificates were again extremely
weak and retired to 103, but recovered with
stocks to 104 at tho close, which, however, is a
loss of IK-
Railroad bonds failed to show any of the
activity of tbe weakness of stocks, and the
usual slight changes with a steady tone
marked the moderate business done. Tbe
sales reached $555,000, but there was no feat
ure, ana wnne northwestern aeocntures rose
2K to 110K. and Morris and Essex consols 2 to
140, Pensacola and Atlantic lists lost 2 at 103.
Government bonds have been dull and steady
to firm. State bonds havo been neglected.
The exports of specie from tho port of New
Tork during the week amounted to $40,989, of
which $35,789 w as in gold and $5,200 silver. Tho
imports of specie during the week amounted
to $112,252, of which $2,425 was in gold and $409,
727 silver.
Tho iW says: The story of tbe bad condi
dition of the Union Pacific road appears to be
only a part of tbe Hcht between tbe Union Pa
cific and Northwestern on tho one side, and
Bock Island, St. Paul and Burlington on tho
other, the latter three being displeased by tbe
Union Pacific's demand lor a larger percentage
in the division of rates on through business.

A Few Reflections on Trusts The Bank
Statement Causes Surprise.
John M. Oakley & Co.'s Wall street cor
respondent wires:
The certificate holders of sugar have taken
laughing gas while money has been extracted
from their pockets. This remedy was applied
In the shape of vague hints or more direct
promises, that the bankers who were to re
organize the trust would come out with a state
ment that would ruin any unfortunate person
who bapDened-to be short of the certificates
and excite never-ending regret in the minds of
those who had sold on tha bear talk. It is no
exaggeration to say tbe connection of a promi
nent banting bouse with the proposed re
organization of tbe Sugar Trust has been tbe
ono element of strength the certiheates have
had since the trustees passed tbe quarterly
dividend and litigation was begun to arrest tbe
transfer. '
Fear not lawyers, but we believe that no
trustee can annlhilato his trust or extinguish
tbe form of ownership which he is appointed to
direct, except with the consent of every certifi
cate bolder. The only recourse in case of in
ternal objection is a receivership, a sale of the
property and distribution of assets, when, of
course, a corporation duly organized may step
in and make the purchase.
Transactions iu trusts have immensely dam
aged Wall street's reputation and inflicted
great injury on innocent owners who wero at
tracted to the scheme by big dividens or re
ported earnings, and no manipulation. It is a
reproach to Exchanges that the shield of their
respectibillty should be granted to these insti
tutions without requiring frequent sworn or
verified statements of the status of the proper
ties It is idle to ray that the Exchanges make
no guarantee of the values of the securities
dealt in, for it is an indisputable fact that tbe
public expect some scrutiny by the authorities
or the Exchanges of the character of an enter
prise before it is admitted to qnotation, and
such listing does give added value to securities
and provide for them a wider market than they
could procure by private outside negotiation.
To-day's market on the appearance of tbe
bank statement was semi-panicky. New York
Central, a staid old stock, broke three points,
as also did St. Paul, while Union Pacinc fell
four points other stocks coming after on the
toboggan slide. When tbe bank statement ap
peared it was a genuine surprise, for in place
of a loss of a million or so it showed only $'.24,
OC0 loss in the legal reserves The require
ments were about $1,200,000 loss, however, by
reason of a reduction of over $4,700,000 in de
posits It is probable that some cash was re
turned to the banks from private or outside
bands

Wheat Moves Up Only to Settle Back and
Close Lower Reports Varied to Suit
All Corn and Oats Active
and Higher.
CHICAGO Wheat Ibere was a fair volume
of trading to-day and the feeling was a little
unsettled, and, after slight advances, became
weak. Tbe opening was abont the same
to a lower than yesterday's closing, became
firm and advanced on reported export news
a bout c, then became weakertdecllning
c, ana closed about 36 Jc lower than yester
day. Trading was mostly local, with some of
the prominent operators again apparently on
tho selling side. I
There was nothing particular in the foreign
news to causo much, if any change, but tbe re
ported export buving at tbe seaport and Brad
iireefj report or L782.OU0 bushels o wheat and
flour exported from both coasts, started some
little buying and helped the early advance.
Then followed tbe decline to inside prices, in
fluenced by a further decline in silver and re
ported increased receipts from first hands in
the Northwest and qulie free arrivals at Sr.
Louis, together with tbe prospects of a rather
liberal Increase In tbe visible supply.
Corn was fairly active and an advance was
scored on all futures The market at the open
ing was inclined to be eas7, but it was soon ap
parent that tbe crowd was short and oversold
yesterday, and a little bidding pnt prices up.
offerings being light, thoujh tlRiro was some
pressure to sell May at 5!''. First trades were
at yesterday's closing prices, and under a good
demand advanced JiiSJc. eased off Jc, sold np
He changing some, and closed with a c
gain.
Oats were active, stronger and higher. Trad
ing was chiefly in Mav, several buying heavily.
Their takings, coupled with the advance in
wheat and corn, had a good effect and prices
advanced c receded c, but rallied to pre
vious outside figures and closed easier.
Mess pork 1 here was a fair trade. Opening
sales were at 57c advance, and a few sales
were mado shortly thereafter at 2c reduction.
Oood buying readily absorbed me offennes,
and prices gradually rallied 102c Prices
settled back again 7$10c and closed steady.
Lard Trading was only moderate. Prices
advanced 2g5t'. and the market closed rather
quiet at out-itle figures
bhortrlb sides Trading was moderately ac
tive. Prices advanced 7910c. but settled
back 25c and closed comparatively steady.

COLD FACTS.
Some Plain Statements Con
cerning Drs. Copeland
and Blair.
MR. GRANTJNJERVIEWED.
"It requires all kinds of people to maka
this world," said Mr. J. VT. Grant, "and no
one can realize it more folly than those who
cater to the public in the large hotels in this
country."
The speaker was Sir. J. "W. Grant, of No.
li Logan street, who b.33 for a long tima
been the head waiter at the hotel Anderson,
and is well known throughont the city. His
experience will, therefore, be of double in
terest, not only to his friends, but the gen
eral pnblic. Mr. Grant said:
"My trouble began several years ago. I
cansht a severe cold, which I could not get
rid of. Cold followed cold, and my trouble
gradually merged into one of chronio
catarrh.
WJ .y j,, w
Mr. J. W. Grant. 74 Logan Street.
"My head and nose would stop up. First ona
nostril would be clogged and then the other.
I had 'a dull pain in my forehead, directly over
my eyes. There were roaring and buzzing
noises m my ears My eyes wero weak and
watery. I could feel the mucus dropping back
into my throat. I was contantJy hawking and
raising. Sharp pains would shoot through my
chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades
A dry, hacking cough set in.
"My appetite failed me. My rest was broken.
I felt tired and nnrefreshed in tbe morning.
When I would stoop over and raise up quickly
I would become weak and dizzy. Night sweats
weakened me terribly. I tried various remedies
and could obtain no relief.
"One dav I heard of tbe wonderful success
Drs Copeland and Blair were having with
cases similar to my own. so called to see them.
After consultation 1 began treatment.
"The result has been far better than I dared
to expect. My bead and throat are clear. I
have no more night sweats. Mv appetite is
good. I sleep well, and to bn brief, all the
symptoms have left me and I feel like a new
man."
Mr. Grant lives as stated at No. 74 Lozan
street and this interview can be readily veri
fied. TREATI.NG BY MAIL.
Mr. John Wright, of Chicago Junction, says:
"For two years I suffered from lung fever. I
had given up ail hope of ever being relieved.
I began treatment with Drs Copeland and Blair
by mail. Thev have cured mo entirely. To-day
lama well man."
Miss Lottie J. Forfcer. of No. 299 Arch street,
Meadville, Pa., says: "I was troubled for a
long time with an aggravated form of catarrh
of the stomach. Everything I bad tried failed
to relieve me. Drs. Copeland and Blair's home
treatment en red me."
Mr. 31. C. Wilson, of Canonsburg. Pa., says:
"For years I suffered from catarrh without
being able to find relief. Drs Copeland and
Blair cured me treating me oy mail."
Mrs. Robert Itamsev, ot Washinston. Pa.,
sajs: "For five years I suffered from chroma
dyspepsia. I tried everything, to no avail.
Drs. Copeland and Blair's treatment, by mail,
made mo a different person."
Mr. William Barnes of Hickman. Pa., says:

catarrh, which no treatment seemed to affect.
Drs Copeland and Blair's home treatment
cured me." ,
From Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hulton. Alle

chronic catarrh. Could get no relief. Drs
Copeland and BUir cured me entirely, at home."
