At least, that's what the ladies of the Allegheny Gen eral Hospital think, and they request their friends to continue sending in donations as liberally to-day and to-morrow as they did yesterday. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Park were the receiviuc ladies yesterday, and the sum of 5200 cash and about $250 in commodities passed through their hands during the day and were gracefully acknowledged by them. They will continue in the reception capacity to-day and to-morrow, and anything in the line of hospital supplies will be appreciated. "Wine is especially welcome, as there are ever so many patients in the hospital re quiring it. There are about 60 more patients la the hospital now than there were at this time last year, and it is hoped by the ladies that tbis fact, if known, will inspire a continua tion of the liberal donations.

Throngs of fair purchasers filled every corner of the not too extensive quarters of the Woman's Industrial Exchange, yester day, and left orders for the most tantaliz ing pretty things, that would require the services of a Philadelphia lawyer to deter mine the use fur which they were intended, but the recipients on Christmas morning will rather enjoy the mystery that sur rounds the beauty of design and finish. The ladies in attendance were wonderfully buy, with just time enough to say that their Christmas business exceeded anything in the previous history of the Exchange. CHRISTMAS FOB THE POOB.

A horrible explosion occurred at the Hew Jersey Steel and Iron Works this afternoon, and five men were probably fatally injured. The men were injured by the explosion of a "cinder" or a mass of molten iron which bad just been taken from the furnace at while heat. When the iron was taken from the furnace the men were standing ready with buckets full of water to throw over it for the purpose of cooling it. This is done only upon the order of the man in charge of the'furnace, who is the judge of the proper time (or the use of the water. To-day Michael Funda did not heed the orders of the furnaceman and threw the water too soon. Ko sooner had the water struck the molten mass than the hot iron exploded with a loud report and hunks of iron weighing hundreds of pounds flew in all directions about the rail mill where the furnace stood. The men were knocked down like so many sticks, and their cloth ing and flesh set on fire. The sight was sickening. Michael Funds had his eyes burned out and a large hole burned in his neck and body. George Lintall is also badly in jured, the flesh m many parts of his body being burned offi Michael Cosla is so hor ribly burned as to be unrecognizable, and Michael Coperip has a gash in his abdomen and his physicians say he cannot recover. The fifth man is a German, and it is impos sible to learn how badly he is injured. It is reported that several others were injured by the same explosion. THE DIFFERENCE. Crackers Fresh From, the Oven Are the Only Kind to Eat. Did you ever think what a difference there is in crackers? A stale cracker is just as much of an abomination as stale bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers of crackers, principally because they can get the best that are made in the country fresh from the ovens every day. Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker baking towns in the world. The mammoth Marvin establishment alone turns out almost enough to keep the entire popula tion of half a dozen States eating 24 hours a day And there is this about the Marvin goods, they can always bs relied upon as being thoroughly pure and fresh. The great ovens are going constantly, and a score or more of wagons are busy from morning till night delivering the crackers to grocers in the two cities. Of course, Pittsburg can consume only a small portion of the product of the factory. The rest is shipped to al most every State in the Union, for the fame of Marvin'j crackers is not merely local. Everybody from Maine to California has heard of them, and everybody who knows a good cracker when he sees it wants to get them. If yon don't already use Marvin's crackers, order some from ybur grocer. If you try them once you will never want any others. ' Then there's bread. Palace bread. Have you tried it? If you haven't, you ought to. It's just about the finest thing in this line in the market. Marvin's breads are baked fresh every day. An army of wagons de livers them to the city trade and express trains carry them to towns within reach all over the western part of the State. Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace bread a'nd see if it isn't just about the nice est thing you ever tasted. tussu Fine Watches Given Away With Boys' Suits at Kaufmanns.
