AFFAIRS OF KUTE IS SOCIAL LIFE
One dear, sweet, benevolent old lady at
the meeting of the trustees of the prospective
Deaconness' Home yesterday afternoon,
with her spectacles on her nose and her
shopping bag in her Jap, dozed away for
dear life, but the remainder of the trustees
present were painfully wide-awake and on
the alert, the meeting being one of the most
spirited thus far held in the interest ot the
home.
Eer. Dr. Locke, President of the Board
of Trustees, occupied the chair and Mrs.
Joseph Weeks, as Secretary, not only took
notes ot the present session, but, at the re
quest of members of the board, various times
referred to records of preceding meetings.
It seems that the good work of establish
ing a Deaconness' Home in Pittsburg has
some antagonists who delight in making it
the subject for facetious remarks, and
boldly bscft that it is under petticoat rule,
i. e., under subjection to the Woman's
Home Missionary Society of the Methodist
Church, hich fact Eer. Dr. Miller said
could not be disputed, as a lady was not
eligible as a member of the Board of Trus
tees unless she was first identified with that
missionary body.
A Restriction to Be Regretted.
He further remarked that he regretted
this restriction, as he frequently met good,
coble, energetic Christian women who would
be admirable acquisitions to the organiza
tion, and who were desirious of serving, only
that they were not members of the Home
Missionary Society.
At this point Dr. Miller was called down
by a feminine member whose name ranks
high among the officers of the "Woman's
Home Missionary Society, who remarked
that only the sum of 1 stood between any of
the ladies possessed of the multiplicity of
virtues and tne object of her desires, as for
that amount one could become a member of
the missionary society and eligible to the
Board of Trustees.
Dr. Miller thought the least said about
the subject the better, but another
reverend gentleman was of the opinion
that the charge that the board was
ruled by ttie missionary society
should be refuted, and it be clearly estab
lished that it was a general church work.
Others the majority, in lact metaphoric
ally, sat down upon any such an attempt,
as it would only give the matter more
prominence than it deserved, and would
accomplish nothing, as the fact remained
that the project was tied, to a certain
degree, to the apron strings of the mission
ary society, which is expected to exercise a
rort of maternal solicitude over it and
furnish substantial financial aid, as well.
The report of the committee appointed
some time ago to investigate property, with
the intention of purchasing, was to the
effect that they had not been successful in
discovering any desirable property.
Too Much Authority Not 'Wanted.
A motion was then made and seconded,
that the committee be authorized to investi
gate property for renting, and also be en
dowed with the authority to rent, with or
without the co-operation and knowledge of
the remainder of the board. The commit
tee, with becoming modesty, declined to be
so endowed, and such expressions as "You
leen still!" "How do you know?" and
others of similar sportive 'nature floated in I
tne atmosphere.
It was then suggested that as Mrs. Yan
Kirk's prolonged illness prevented her fill
ing her position of Chairman of the commit
tee, Dr. Miller be appointed to fill her place.
To this Dr. Miller declined emphatically,
saying that others who had not so many
funerals to attend, so many babies to baptize,
so many calls to make, and so many sermons
to preach could do the work more effectively.
At this juncture Mrs. Van Bradenburg,
the little Deaconness who lor some months
lias been waiting patiently a decided action
in the matter, remarked effectively that the
prolonged delay already was due to the fact
that nu Chairman marshaled the forces, and
she thought a chairman of some kind quite
indispensable. It was agreed to leave the
matter to the committee to settle at its
meeting, with the hopes it might prevail
upon Dr. Miller to accept.
An Election TVitli a String; Attached.
The resignations of Mrs. Bricnall and
Mr?. Hania were accented, and Mrs. John
Graff and Miss Belle Bradley elected to fill
the vacancies if the latter was a member of
the Woman's Home Missionary Society.
The committee for the selection of a home
will look around various parts of the city,
and when a desirable piece of property is
found, will call a meeting of "the entire
board, to take decisive steps, with the desire
o bavin? the home in operation by the first

AHOTEEE ESILLIAHT ESCEPTIOH
Given in the Parlors of the Dnqnesne Club
Last Night.
The awning is becoming a permanent feat
ure at the Duquesne Clubhouse, necessitated
by the many social events held there, and
last evening It sheltered a very stylish and
brilliant company, as in twos and threes the
guests of Mis A. M. Bissel, of the East
End. left their equipages and en
tered the realm of beauty and light
The ball was given for Miss Mary Irwin
Laughlin, the niece of the hostess, and was
one of the important social affairs of the sea
son. The appointments, from the profusion
of flowers that perfumed the air and gave a
summery aspect to the scene to the menu
served by the caterer of the club, were per
fect, including the entrancing music and the
magnificent dressing of the company that
numbered about 400 representative society
people.
The charming young hostess was assisted
by the guest of honor and by Mesdames F.
S. Bissell, A. M. Sneer, the Misses Eeed, of
Philadelphia, and Miss Pool, of Chicago.
FEOM THE FEMALE COLLEGE.
Art Pupils Study the Great Verestchagln
Canvases.
One of the pleasing features of the Verest
chagin art exhibition in Carnegie galleries,
Allegheny, yesterday was the attendance, in
a body, of the entire membership of the art
department of the Pennsylvania Female
College. The fair pupils were accompanied
by their instructor, Mr. Campbell, whose
knowledge of art enabled them to better un
derstand and enjoy the master's works.
They will again visit the galleries for the
J urpose of study next Saturday.
The attendance is ranidlv on the increase.
ycatcday being the larges't day in point of
auenaance since tne exhibition opened.
Sons of Veterans Installation.
The cozy little hall of the G. A. B., on
Fourth avenue, was the scene last evening
of very pleasing ceremonies consequent
upon the public installation of officers of
Major Sam Harper Camp 162, Sons of
Veterans. Past Captain Datt, of Camp 2,
Allegheny, was installing officer. Bcfresh
ments were served to the visiting delegates
immediately after the ceremonies by the
Ladies' Aid Society No. 6. The pro
gramme ot the evening was an enjoyable
one, including recitations, addresses and
music.
Slasqoeradlnc on Skates.
There was a decided novelty in the East
Bod last night in the shape of a'masquerade
skating party at Silver Lake. Quite a crowd
was present, and an enjoyable time was had,
the ice being in good condition for skating.
TALK OF THE EUSSIAHS.
Interesting Meetlnc of the Pittsburg
Woman's Clnb Held Yesterday.
Eussia, the subject decided upon by the
Woman's Club for this year's, course of re
search, engrossed the attention of the mem
bers at the regular meeting yesterday after
noon. Jdiss Janie Cord, ou "The Soul of
the Exile," proved herself a decidedly
original thinker, and the polished
manner of writing, with the deli
cacy and nicety of expression habitual
to 'the young lady, both in writing and
speaking, made her paper particularly en
joyable, even though it was based upon the
tortures and sufferings of the poor exile,
whose soul may rise above the cruelties,
but whose physical being cannot. Mrs.
George Scblenderberg, ou "Verestchsgin
and His Aft," was intensely interesting,
notwithstanding so much has been writ
ten and said of the famous and
humane nobleman. "The English Stage of
To-Day" was the subject chosen by Miss
Minnie Moore upon which to weave a
poetical and practical treatise that received
great favor with her listeners. The feature
of the meeting, however, was the inaugural
address delivered bv the President Mrs. C.
I. Wade (Bessie Bramble). In her own
tart, spicy, pungent style Mrs. 'Wade re
viewed the history of the club, and from the
past pronhesied for the future in a manner
highly complimentary to the organization.
Mrs. Wade is always "entertaining and bril
liant It was decided that should Mrs. Crowley
(Jennie June) visit Pittsburg next week as
a delegate from the New York Press Club,
-the Woman's Club en masse won Id do her
honor as the first President of the Sorosis, of
which organization the Pittsburg club is a
part and as a talented, eminent writer and
a cultured woman.
THE SECOND COKCEBT
Given by the Allegheny Musical Society at

The audience that greeted the second con
cert of the Musical Association of Alle
gheny last evening was a characteristic Car

TRADE BELATIOHS WITH CAHADA.
The Canadians and the British the First
to Broach, the Subject
Toeonto, Jan. 20. The Globe (Liberal),
in an article on the negotiations with Wash
ington, says: "It will be found, when the
facts are known, that the Canadian and
British side was the first to informally sug
gest closer trade relations with the United
States, as the means of solving the existing
problems. The administration at Washing
ton responded also informally to these feel
ers, by offering to throw down the customs
barriers altogether, or appoint a joint com
mission to examine the ground with that
end in view, and there the matter rests for
the present
"So far, the prime fact disclosed is that
Mr. Blaine is willing to treat for a very
broad trade arrangement While hampered
by their bargain with manufacturers, our
Ministers are pressing for an emasculated
and one-sided form of reciprocity, which
they know it is not in his power to concede.
It would be absurd to expect the Ameri
cans, as Sir John MacDonald did no later
than August, to agree to reciprocity in
natural prodncts only."
THE DUNN TEMPEBANCE W0EK.

At the conclusion about 20 men signed

every night this week.

STATE OP THE HEAYI OIL FIELD.
Wildwood Is Keeping- Up Its Brilliant
Beputation Still.
MOKE BIG FIELDS FOB TBE STAHDAED
rarxcixi. txlxoham to thx dispatch. i
FitANEXijr, Jan. 20. Twenty years ago
marks the ero, or the beginning, of the
heavy oil industry. Franklin, until that
time, was an obscure town, but the dis
covery of heavy oil on the point and the
Galloway farm, was an incentive in bring
ing capital to invest in that field. It was
heavy oil that founded the Galena
Oil Works and the Eclipse Re
finery, the latter the largest institution of
its kind in tbe world. These two manufact
uring industries are the life and support of
the far-famed nursery. The producers in
tbe heavy oil districts have seen many nps and
downs, and, upon the whole, have made but
little money. It is true, however, that several
individuals have been very prosperous, but at
the same time it sbould be remembered that
they were men of an exacting character, and
made their profits principally off ot labor.
In speaking of labor, there is no place in the
oleaginous world where labor is so poorly paid
as in tbe heavy oil district. A man who is ca
paole of taking charge of a lease does not com
mand more than from S50 to $60 per montb,
while the bands who do tbe work on the leaso
do not average more than SI 23 per day. Tbe
men are not only required to do a day's work ot
12 hours, but extra labor without extra com
pensation keeps them 18 hours per day on the
lease.
The price paid for the Indispensable staple is
nothine near its intrinsio value. Tbe market
Erica at the wells for nearly tbe last ten years
as been 3 63 per barrel; but witbin tbe last
six or eight months the price has been ad
vanced to $3 85. 1 tie Dispatch oil scout was
Informed by one of tbe mostpractlcal operators
in the field that tbe average producer had a
bard row to hoe, and tbat they barely made a
living. Continuing, be said:
"It is an outrage tbat we do not get more
money for our oil. We sbould have 5 a barrel.
Tbe wells in tbe heavy oil district are very lim
ited in capacity, and therefore great economy
must be exercised in operating them. It is no
uncommon thing to see a lease with 40 or 50
wells connected by tbe sucker-rod process and
propelled by one motive power. The average
of the wells in tbe old district Is about three
barrels per mnntb, while tbe average at tbe
front is estimated at five barrels a montb. Ac
cording to tbe pipe line report the production
for December was 7,596 barrels. The statement
of the old line for December is as follows:

At present there Is but very little operating
Deing done, and tbat little is confined prin
cipally to the front district At the front, Em
erson & Co., completed a dry bole on the Burk
hart farm in tbe heavy oil sand, and found tbe
same result in tbe gray sand. Cratty it Myers
also finished a one-barrel well on the Scott farm
Saturday. -
Tbe latest transactions In the heavy oil field
is tbe sale, of Cratty Jc Myers of their one-half
interest in tbe Scott farm of 77 acres, eigbt
wells, with a production of 240 barrels ,per
month, for 112,000.
Sheasley & Grant completed a five-barrel
well Saturday on tbe Eichner farm, and bave
started another on the same farm. Heald &
Hopkins, of Pleasantvilie, who lately pur
chased the interests or Black t Emerson, are
doing considerable work.
.Tally One More for Wildwood.
Wildwood Wildwood to-day has lost none
of its former reputation. On tbe other band,
it has added to its history on tbe southwest
line by the bringing in of the Gnffy fc Queen
No. 1 on the Runga. Tbe well is reported to
night as doing 100 barrels per honr. and just
where tne end Is we hesitate to prophesy.
Greenlee & Forst on tbe McGeagn six acres,
are in the first pay with their No. 2, and sbnt
down to move tbe boiler. Their No.l, on tbe
same property. Is reported 20 feet in tbe sand,
with no show of oil. It is likely tbey will find
tbe pay at about the same place It was found in
th Rlngheioen. Barnsdall t Gillespie shot
their No. 7 Kress to-day, which increased tbe
production to 75 barrels per hour. Kennedy &
Co.. on tbe P. & W. lot are able, to
make but little headway with the drill, owing
to the pressure of fas. and ltis not unlikely that
work will bave to be discontinued until the gas
Is somewhat exhausted. The well was spray
ing somewhat to-night. Tbe Griffith & Co.
well, on the Hill farm, north, was no good in
tbe SO-foot, and it will be drilled to the third
sand. Christie & Co., on the Susan Gibson
farm, three-fourths of a mile north of the
Harley well, Is down about 500 feet. This well,
owing to tbe oil found In the Bowman gasser,
will be watched with Interest, The.Bowman.

about eight barrels in an hour.
Tbe following are some of tbe important

duction of their five wells on tbe Rolsehouse is

35 barrels an hour. Barnsdall. Gillespie Je Ca's
production on the Kress farm is 3,200 barrels.
TheRlngbelsenNo. 2 is five bits in tbe sand

well is shut down to move tbe boiler.
Town Lots Punctured With Holes.
Caixery Operations in the Callery field

being pnnctnred with holes. The Learn '&
Geobring well on the Deemer lot is in tbe sand.
Burton t Bartlev, on lhaRichards lot. 100 feet
south of tbe Geohring well, on the Irwin lot is
four bits In the sand and doing 80 barrels per
hour.
When tbe Barton well was struck yesterday,
tbe Goehring well was flowing 150 barrels, but
Burton took both the oil and gas away from the
latter. Forst & Scowalter are casing tbbjr No.
2 on the George Marburger.

titles and leases are being signed. 1 be value of
the sale, which will probably be consummated
In the morning, will probably Jeach 8175000.
This is property tho Standard lias long been
trying to buy, and adds greatly toward giving
that corporation the controlling interest in tne
