THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1890..

A COSTLY CHRISTMAS.
Hucii Longer Pockeibooks Keeded
Than for Many Years Fast.
fLKiNTY OP GOOD POULTRY TO EAT,
But the Trimmings for Tnrkey and Goose
Aro Trctty Dear.
SOME PKEPAUATIOSS FOE TO-MORROW
Christmas, though very differently ob
served now from the lashion in vogne in
Merrie England in days of yore, is still an
occasion ot merriment and feasting, but the
menu has undergone a radical change, and
the distinctively American bird has sup
planted roast bee'; capon, mince pie, plum
pudding, and coffee, tea or chocolate largely
take the place of ale and cider. Eugland,
as well as the United States, has adopted
the turkey for Christmas.
The gastronomy of to-morrow -trill be
more extensive than on any former occasion
in these cities and co.unty, for people gener
ally have been well employed and have
money to spend, and the population has
been largely increased in late years. But
the feast will ccst more than on any occa
sion since the days of resumption of specie
payments.
" Commission men do not expect to handle
as much poultry as they did on the day be
fore Thanksgiving and during a number of
subsequent days, and they express them,
selves well satisfied with the prospect of
small supplies, as poultry became a nuisance
following Thanksgiving Day.
LARGE ARP.IYALS OF TURKEYS.
But though commission men may not
handle so much, the aggregate arrivals from
the near-by county are uunsually large, the
sellers disposing of it themselves in the pub
lic markets or to hucksters and retail gro
"cers, and wanting prices above those paid by
commission merchants. On the Montour
Railway alone, but 12 miles lone, as
Montour Kun runs.and but seven as the crow
flies, there were between 1,500 and 1,600 tur
keys brought in yesterday, to say nothing of
geese, ducks and chickens.
In England, goose and apple sauce are on
the bill of fare on Michaelmas Day, but
in this country tastes are omniverous, and
not so conventionial as in the land where
prrcdent reigns, and we take to turkey,
chit-Ken, duck, goose, or Irish turkey, in
discriminately, according to taste or power
of purse. The latter is by far the cheapest
meat offered, a 23 pound one being
procurable for S2.25 and fiOu.
The most conservative estimate places the
number of turkeys that willTje eaten in this
county to-inorrow at 33,000. This allows
ten people to a turkey, but there are others
who hoid that the proportion should be five
to a turkev. and thev estimate the number
of victims at 50,000 "to 75,000. Taking the
highest number, and allowing fire to the
bird, would leave 130,000 people to dine off
something else
COST OF POCLTttY AND GAME.
The cost of poultry will be about the same
as it was previous to Thanksgiving Day,
and about the same as it was last year,
turkevs retailing from 17 to 20 cents a pound.
The same may be said ot game. Quail are
plentier, but pneasants (ruffled grouse) are
scarcer and dearer.
Trade was brisk in the Diamond Market
yesterday, and it was mainly in poultry.
31 rs. Hearst said she expected to sell 3,000
turkeys alone, and other fowls were going
at the usnal rate. There is an impression
that people are more given to the consump
tion now of poultry than formerly, bnt a
member o: Rrabm & Son stated that the
holiday consumption of beef, mutton and
pork is nearly twice what it was ten years
ago, so it appears people's taste has not
materially altered, and the pressure ot
population on the limits of the market
bouses is what makes the consumption ot
fowl tfppear out of proportion. 3'oultry has
the call, always, during the holidays.
But while the main dish will not cost more
than usual of late years, the side dishes will
have a decidedly specie flavor. Celery is
about twice as J oar as it was a year ago and
cranberries arc 33 per cent higher than then,
while those who dine off goose will find the
accompanying apple sauce cost about three
times what it did last Christmas.
The scarcity and cost ot fruit have caused
an immense demand lor candy, which will
largely supplement the former.
Chris Kringlc's devotees will offer their
usual obligation and, not satisfied with
the Diamond Market pnrvevors. have
sent evergreens to the commission mer
chants lor sale. Thomas McGowan savs
they are a nuisance, and he hoped this sea
sou's experience would satisfy consignors
that such stuff was below par" on Liberty
street. It takes up too much spacr.
l-OAST BF.KF A PAVOKITE.
That some people still anc'i ir to roast
beet is evident by the tact that two butcher
ing linns have contricted for iouroxen,
aggregating in weight about 10,000 pounds,
and nearly all the choice pieces of these
bovine elephants have been spoken for in
advance. It is the opinion of many people
that meat will be much cheaper between
now and spring, hut the quality may not be
of the best. Grain is higli-priced and many
will slaughter their stock and sell it, and
the Iced that would otherwise enter into it,
as grain at present prices, pays better when
sold in the raw state than when converted
into animal food that is, it brings more
read3- cash, though the land is robbed of
fertilizing material, the value of which the
average American farmer has not yet dis
covered. HOLIDAY AT THE P08T0FFICE.
Postmaster McKean's Schedule for To
morrow's Mall Accommodations.
Postmaster McKean yesterday issued the
following schedule of the work at the Post

A DAY OF FEASTING.
The Hotels or tho City Trill do the Nice
Thing In Christmas Dinners.
Although the hotels of the city usually
mate their greatest spread in holiday din
ners on Thanksgiving Day, they do not
propose to be lacking in good cheer this
Christmas. All of them are preparing for
substantial and elaborate spreads to
morrow, and if any of their guests go hun
gry it will be their own fault.
At several hotel restaurants about town
elegant lunches will be served for the benefit
of people who are not blessed with the appe
tite of a farm hand. At the Duquesne the
roost extravagant preparations are being
rnede. They include a brilliantly illumi
nated table, 30 feet lone, and 15 waiters in
full dress.

FSAKE LAWLEB'S IDEAS
As to What tho Big Majority of the Next
House Will Do.
Congressman Frank Lawler, of Chicago,
passed through homeward last evening. He
believes that the Democrats in the next
House will not take advantage of their
numerical strength, but will use it to pass
measures which will be of more service to
the people than the laws enacted by Re
publicans. "For 28 years," he said, "the
Republicans have been legislates in the
interests of corporations and capitalists; the
Democrats, now that they'have the chance,
propose to do a little for the'people. That
the country looks for such legislation is
amply proven by the result of the elec
tions." Mr. Lawler has no, choice for Speaker.
All the candidates are personal friends of
his, and he would not discriminate in favor
of anv. He thinks that both Springer, of
Illino'is, and Crisp, of Georgia, would make
good presiding officers. Each has strong
friends. "
CENTRAL TRACTION ACCIDENTS.
A Perilous Bide Down Wylie Avenue Hill
Into a "Wagon.
The Central Traction line had two acci
dents yesterday, though, luckily, neither
caused any personal injury. At 8:30, car
Xo. 51 was coming down the hill and at
Arthur street the "Westinghouse air brake
broke. The grip also refused to work and
for a few moments it looked as though the
car would be dashed to pieces at the foot of
the long hill. Gripman Clark, a new man
on the road, stood by his car and at last suc
ceeded in making the griD catch the cable.
The car was stopped at the foot of the hill
without any damage, though the large num
ber of passengers on board were badly fright
ened. The other accident occurred at noon and
car No. 50 was the victim. At Chatham
street the car ran into one of T. C. Jenkins
& Co.'s heavy wagons and completely
wrecked the car, but no one was hurt
PUBLIC SCHOOL RECEPTION.
Moorhead 1'uplls Show- Parents and Friends
What They Can Do.
The pupils and teachers of the Moorhead
School held a public reception yesterday to
parents and others interested in school work
which was largely attended. For two hours
the building was thronged with visitors,
manv of whom were teachers from other
schools. The work was the daily work of
the Echool only on an enlarged scale. The
blackboards were filled with drawings and
other work of the pupils, while each had
for the inspection of visitors several sheets
of manuscript work in arithmetic, language
and drawing. This work received much
commendation.
In the lower rooms recitations, songs and
gymnastics supplied entertainment, while
in the upper branches, lessson, were heard
in the different studies. The work bore
scrutiny aud evidenced thorough and sys
tematic work in the school.

The handsome little club rooms of the
Heber McDowell Club, at 108 Center ave

Detective George Wheatley. -Brown, in
company with four other men, started a
fight on a Pittsburg,.Virginia and Charles
ton passenger train near West Elizabeth,
which necessitated the stopping ot the train
until they could be put off The row caused
considerable excitement among the other

LIVES LIKE A HERMIT.
An Eccentric Man, Over 101 Tears
Old, Who is a West End Kecluse.
HOME IN THE REAR OP AN ALLET.
Mistaken Report That He Was Pjing in Dire
Destitution.
CAEEEE OF A QUEER OLD SCOTCHMAN.
The West End was considerably excited,
yesterday, by a report made to the"Foard of
Health that James Stevenson, ot the Thirty
sixth ward, aged 101 years, was sick and iu
destitute circumstances.
A vist was made by a reporter to the
house of .Mr. Stevenson, in the afternoon.
The house has two rooms and a cellar, and
is situated at the rear of Violet alley, be
tween Alexander street and Wabash ave
nue. One room on the first floor is utilized
as a parlor, library, kitchen and curiosity
shop. A little fire in a very large fireplace
was burning brightly, but the heat was in
sufficient to warm the room. The mantel
piece was covered with queer articles of
almost every description; pieces ot flint, old
gun-locks, a few coon skins, bear claws,
heads of Indian arrows, tomahawks and
other relics. In the corner of the room, was
an old Hint-lock, with a coon skin cap rest
ing on the muzzle and a pair of moccasins
resting at the stock.
There were two chairs in the room, on
one of which sat Mr. Stevenson, who was
attempting to heat a pot of 'water over the
little fire. When the reporter entered he
was given hearty shake of the hand bv
Mr. Stevenson, who is known as "Old '98"
in the West Eud, but this appellation does
not do justice to bis years, as he is now 101
years old. He is tall, well built, has pure
white hair and beard, and although sick, he
moved about the room with an energy which
would be remarkable for a man of younger
Tears.
He said that he was born six miles from
the city ot Glasgow, Scotland, in 1789. On
May 1, 1S09, he landed at Philadelphia,
where he did laborer's work for a short
time, and then came to Pittsburg and
settled on a piece of land in what was then
a wilderness, but is now known as Hatfield.
At the outbreak of the War of 1812 he
joined the old volunteer company, the
Duquesne Greys and took an active part in
the war. At the close of it he went West,
or what is now Kentucky, and engaged in
the Indian warfare for a number of years.
Afterward he returned to his cabin in what
is now Hatfield, and was shortly after
married. Since then he lias lived in various
parts of the country. He returned about
30 years since, and lived a part of the time
on Duquesne Heights, and finally located
on Violet alley, where he has led the .life
almost of a hermit, working only when
necessary to support life. His wife died in
1865, but two of his sons still survive, one
living at Sharpsburg, the other at Greens
burg. Mr. Stevenson declared he was not in
need. The upper room of his house is a
bedroom, and, although cold, is cleau and
has a comfortable bed. Health Officer
Charles Havis, who investigated the report,
stated that he would not likely do anything
about the case; that the house was not un
clean, and that Dr. Graham was attending
Stevenson, and that the latter still had
some money and was negotiating (or the dis
posal of some property in Philadelphia
which would likely give him a fair compe
tency. Dr. Graham stated that Mr. Stevenson's
sickness was not of a serious nature.
THIKKB HE MAY NEED A QUR.
A. Contractor's Foreman Apprehensive of
Tremble Amfnwr- Tfnllnri ti)uimm - a-
There is danger of a civil 'war 'among
Italians working on the Union Gas 'line
above Duquesne. Last night a man who
said he was foreman for C. H. Howe, the
contractor laying the line, applied ai police
headquarters for a permit to carry a revol
ver. He said the Italian laborers employed
on the lice had become dissatisfied and re
fused to work.. A number of them were dis
charged and others hired to take their-
places.
Yesterday the discharged men came upon
the seen.', and, by the lavish exhibition of
revolvers and kniver, drove away the men
whohad taken their places. The foreman is
afraid that the trouble will result in blood
shed, and wants to bo prepared to hold his
own.
Informations have been made against four
of the ringleaders, and they will be arrested
to-day.
BREEZES, HATS AND WHISKERS
Mixed Up In an Incongruous Mass in the
Midst of the Allegheny.
The wind became frisky yesterday as it
meandered swiftly up the Allegheny from
the Ohio, -and it played many pranks with
the pedestrians on the Sixth 'street bridge.
The breezes not only took liberties with the
mutton chop side whiskers of those who wore
them, but jokingly wafted the hats of many
out it) to mid-stream, where a cake of ice
made a beautiful throne on which to float
majestically down the stream. With no bat
to hinder its playfulness, the gale toyed
gracefully with the long Christmas locks
which, after their exertion to hold their
equilibrium, looked not unlike the ruffled
feathers of a defeated game fowl.
Thus the gentle zephyrs of a Pittsburg
December got in their devastating work yes
terday, and the pickaninnies ot old Kentuck
will profit to the extent of a few food hats
that float into their midst on a cake of ice
from fairyland.
HE IS HOT HT IT.
R.H. Lindsay Can he Sergeant at Anns of
the Legislature, but Will Not Acoop tit.
Reports from Philadelphia would indicate
that everything worth having in the next
Legislature will be at the disposal of the
QuakerCity delegation. It is claimed that
an air-tight slate has been fixed up there
and that all the plums have been parceled
out. One claim was that R, H. Lindsay,
of the City Assessor's office, was to be the
next Sergeant at Arms of that body.
Mr. Lindsay was asked yesterday what
truth there was in the story. He 'said it
was a fact that the position was his if he
saw fit to take it. but he had decided not to
do so. He bad figured the thing over care
fully and decided he would do petter to re
main where he was.
KNEW HOW TO WORK THE OLD FOLKS.
A Party of Runaway Boys Who Were Not.
Afraid to Go Home.
Officer Mackey arrested, three boys from
Ohio yesterday who had run away from their
homes at Columbus and were going down to
Washington, D. C, to see Congress. They
gave their names as Gus Shipley, aged 14;
William Duucan, aged 15, and Prosser
Rich, aged 13.
Shipley was the cashier of the party, and
he had ,?5 35 in his pockets, besides a good
silver watch. The boys said they were not
afraid to go back home, as they "knew how
o work, the old folks."
A TOJE WORK 0? ABA"
One of Glrardet's Best Pictures on Exhibi
tion in Pittsburg.
A fine example of Karel Girardet'i work is
to be seen in a Wood street art store. While
the painting is only of small dimension, the
delicacy of its coloring, breadth of treat
ment, and thoroughly rounded composition
exhibit'the strongest traits of this master of
the Barbizoh school.
Girardet was honored twice with the
"Salon" medal, and his works 'are Jew and
mostly owned by galleries.
THE JUDGE SOUGHT HIS LOAD.
Slgnor Vlascl Paid Thirteen Odd Dollars
, and Regained. His Liberty.
Signor Andrea Vlascl, who was inter
rupted in his journey to Italy on Monday
evening, and an accountof whose adventures
appeared in yesterday's Dispatch, made a
successful departure last night. This time
he had neither funds nor load. The latter
he had,secured a market for In Central sta
tion, where Judge Gripp appraised it as
worth 13 40. '
Vlasci had $147 on his person, and was
glad to dispose of his merchandise at the
price. He was carefnl to express his grati
tude to the depot officials, but for whose
promptitude in sending him down, he would
probably have had to- defer his trip.
TWO COASTING ACCIDENTS.
A Namesake of General Jackson Buns Into
a Wagon.
Coasting on the hill'streets has become an
exceedingly dangerous -pastime, and acci
dents to coasters are almost a daily occur
rence. Yesterday was no exception to the
rule, and a 7-year-old boy named Jackson,
whose parents live on Logan street, was the
victim. The boy was coasting ow Webster
avenue last night, and, being unable to
properly guide his sled, collided with a
wagon, and suffered a, severe cut on the head
and a bruised body.
Eitz Glass suffered a fracture of his lower
jaw last evening while coasting on Main
street. He fell off the sled, and one in the
rear struck him.
DIED TJNDEB A PLATFORM.
