The directors of the Union Switch and
Signal Company met in Philadelphia yes
terday, and reorganized, as stated in jester
day's Dispatch that they would do.
A. T. Kowand's resignation was accepted,
and E. H. Goodman elected in his stead as
President, and General Manager Sigourney
Butler, of Boston, who was elected as Vice
President, tendered his resicnatton as such,
in favor of Mr. Kowaud. The conditions on
which the new Vice President holds office
are stated to be that he shall only hold such
authority as may be vested in him by the
President. On this understanding, Mr.
Goodman being a Westinghouse man, the
arrangement cannot be regarded a other
than a complete recognition of Mr. West
iughouse and Pittsburg interests.
At the opening of the nieetinc it was stated
informally that any action which jnisht be
taken would be with the purpose of further
ing the best interests of the stockholders.
Mr. Bowand's written resicnation was read
aud accepted, and Mr. Goodman was then
unanimously elected President Owen B.
Jenkins tendered his resignation as a di
rector, which was accepted, and Mr. Kowand
was elected Vice President.
Personnel or the "cvr Board.
The new board is as follows: E. H.
Goodman, President and General Manager;
A. T. Kowand, Vice President; II. C. Terry.
Sigourney Butler, Edwin F. Waters, W.
Shane and S. B. Fitz, Directors. The as
sistant treasurer remains as already an
nounced, bot the treasurership is still va
cant. It was generally rumored yesterday
that Mr. Itowand would seek the office.
The reason given for the rearrangement of
the board, immediately after Mr. Westing
house's appearance on the scene, are as
already given in these columns, but there
is, in addition, alleged to be grave reason
why the change should be made. The fol
lowing statement was issued yesterday from
Mr. Westinghouse:
Mr. estincbouse has until now refused to
make any statement concerning the Union
favltch and Jsigaal Compam. On his return to
Pittsliurs he received a full account of the pro
ceedings at the election for directors and the
result of the conference on the a ay 1 ollowinc
the election. After carefully considering the
situation from all sides, It was decided by Mr.
AVestiugbouse and lus associates to have a con
ference Willi Mr. Waters, one of the Boston
directors, and his lawyer, in order to ascertain
'nlictlicr tliej had made tbe necessary financial
arrangements to carry on the business and to
piowile for matunn paper. Xo adequate
plan seems to have been thought out, or at
least nothing substantial v.as suggested.
Thej stated that tbe new man
agement was determined that ilr. Westing
lioe sbould l.ot under any circumstance hat e
a seat on tbe board, which of course implied
that thij had no need for bis assistance in any
manner. The were assured b Mr. Westmg
boue that he would be gratified to bate the
business proceed regular!, and that legal pro
ceeding to tet tbe validity of the election
were not contemplated. Many po.nts needing
erj immediate attention were pat before Mr.
"Waters and Ins adwsor. and some of tbe press
ing difficul:ies likely to result from the eleta
tion of Kowaud to the presidency were ex
plained. All statements and ino eincuts teno
lns to effect injuriously tbe prosperous condi
tion of tbe company were deprecated.
The Intentions of 3Ir. lYestlnghonse.
Mr. Westinghouse feels that he has now been
freed from all responsibility concerning the
management of the business, and naturally
cannot and probably will not be asked tojrive
any further advice or help of any kind. He
has no intention of nominating any person to
represent him on the pen board, and will take
onlj such reasonable action as may be needed
to protect his interests. He is unable to learn
that tbe new management bave made adequate
provisions to carry forward tbe business, and
to propcrl protect tbe credit of the company,
winch has been well maintained in the past.
In tbe ctcct ola failuieou the part of the new
manacement to prouct the credit of the corn
pan), there will be required the united efforts
or tbe stockholders tu present serious losses
that will rc-ult.
Mr. Westinghouse. mindful of tbe possibili
ties, has already perfected a plan for the reor
ganization of tbe business of tbe comuanv that
- ill guard tbe interests of all in an equitable'
manner, suould sucn a course become neces
sary in order to maintain tbe business which
bas been brought to a prosperous condition.
Mr. W csiinghouse and bis associates sincere
1 hope the ben management will make finan
cial arrangement tbat will prove his present
fears groundless, for such a result would be of
advantage in many uajs.
Concerning tbe proposed resignation of Mr.
Ronana, and the election of Mr. Goodman, it
ua be said that Mr. Goodman enjoys the con
fidence of the customers of the company and
ol the community at larce: but bis election to
succeed Mr Itowand is not bv arrangement
with Mr. Vestin?bosue, though he pointed out
at tbe interview referred to that ilthey bad
selected Mr. Goodman instead of Mr. Rowand
they would bae done wisely, because Mr.
Goodman enjo;s the fullest confidence of him
self and associates.
3Ir. Kowand Mill in Poor Health.
Mr. Rowand was unable to be present at
the Philadelphia meeting, by reason of the
sudden illness referred to in yesterday's
issue of this paper. He was still confined
to bis bed last night, but his relatives said
that he was improving, and not in rerions
danger. A dispatch from Philadelphia re
garding tbe meeting ol the company, says:
The directors of theUnlon Switch and Signal
Company met here tbis morninc m tbe law
offices of H. A lerry. and reorganized, as out
lined In jesteida's Dlsi'ATCH. A T. Kowand
becomes Vice President, with limited power,
and E. H. Goodman succeeds himas President.
Q. B. JenUns resigned as a director, llio new
arrangement is regarded as particularly pleas
ing to the AVestincnouse adherents, as well as
the most benebcial to the interests of the
stockholders'. Ainonc inanj of the stockholders
in tbe city Itowand's position toward West
mgbouse is bitterly denounced. The reason
urged for A T Kowand's withdrawal
hi! the refusal of thn Pittsburg banks,
holding the rompanv's collateral, to dohusincss
with Itowand. Henry C. Terrj said, in fpeak
lng ot tue matter: "I regard the outcome of the
meeting as a compromise between Rowand and
AVestingbouse. and one which will undoubtedly
result in tbe financial betterineut of the coni
pinj In mj opinion Rowand, by resigning the
Presidency, gae abundant evidence of bis
eame-t desire to further the interests of the
-ompan. It is undoubtedly true that with
Mr. Rowand as President, there wonld have
been considerable difficulty with tbe Pittsburg
banks, which have loaned large sums of money
to our company Tbe most amicable spirit was
manifested throughout the whole meeting."
An Unpleasant Episode Passed Oicr.
Tbe impression in financial circles yester
day was that a very unpleasant episode has
been disposed of. Mr. Goodman's reputation
is such as will restore confidence in the
minds of the business community, and it is
expected that the aflairs of tue company
will now proceed with smoothness. Mr.
Westiughouse was busy in his office all day
yesterday. Advantage was taKen of his
presence in the city to bold a quarterly
meetinz of the directors of the Airbrake
Company for the purpose of declanngthe
quarterly dividend. Tnis was done, and 4
per cent," or 16 per cent per annum, declared,
payable on the"lCtb of April.
The impression which obtains in some
quarters that the Electric Company was cot
doing very good business was controverted
by Mr. Bannister yesterday:
"It must be remembered," he said, "that
this is tbe dull period of the year, and that
irork generally is not Tery brisk. But
we are far from complaining. "We have
sufficient work to keep nearly 00 men em
ployed in the shops, and when I mention
that for the first ten days of this month,
the amount of business done aver
aged over 59,000 per day, you can
see we arc progressing. In this
amount we do not include wort Which is
under consideration or several large rail
road orders which we have undertaken. The
affairs of the company are rapidly getting
into first-class shape, and another few
months will see us, I freely believe, tan to
our eyes in business, as of old. Mr. West
inghouse reports that be has met with much
success in his mission and (eels greatly en
couraged as to the outlook."
HAPPINESS AT HOME.
Domestic Felicity Promoted An Absence
of the Troubles Usually Aired in tlte
Quarter Sessions Court Italph Waldo
lliuerson a Free Man Again.
It would seem that domestic felicity has
been promoted, lately, by some occult in
fluence, as there was but one case of family
scrapping of consequence billed in the
Quarter Sessions Court yesterday, and it did
not make its appearance when called in the
corridor, and tbe surety of the peace cases
were very tame. It was expected that yes
terday being the last of the term for
anything but license hearings, there would
be a rush of irate wives to have their Lares
and Penates fortified in their jurisdiction,
but it would seem they judged that in the
springtime their lords thoughts will lightly
turn to love, and there will be no trouble.
Beside, some liquor dealers are expected to
be on their good behavior for some time, and
not likely to sell liquor to wife beaters or
deserters.
James Sullivan, James Cavanaugh and
William Cranfield were the first to be called
to tbe bar, and an animated discussion en
sued between Judge Magee and V. J. Bren
nen as to the power of a handybilly to make
cuts on a man's head through his hat Mr.
Brenuen seemed to hold that he was better
authority on the subject than His 'Honor, as
be ( Brennen) professed to have seen some
scrapping in his pilgrimage. The accused
were let off on payment of costs.
Frank Kussell was in a penitent mood
according to the statement of his attorney,
and Mr. Kussell backed the declaration by
stating that he was very sorry he bad looked
on tbe wine when it gave its color in tbe
cup, which had caused him to commit an as
sault and battery. Mr. Kussell stated that
his temper had been given him by his Cre
ator, aud seemed to think be outrht to be
allowed an extenuation, but the Judge held
that he should not stimulate bad temper by
drinking booze. Mrs. Kussell deposed that
her liege lord was a good man and peacea
ble, when sober. The costs and $10 fine set
tled the bill.
Attorney McElroy called up. the case of
Kalpb Waldo Emerson, committed by
Major Wvman, of Allegheny, on the 25th
of February, to the workhouse as a sus
picious character. Emerson works for the
Union News Company, and has consider
able property. Detective Steele, of Alle
gheny, stated that Kalph Waldo
had been arrested and heard on a
charge of burglary, and that falling
to tbe ground, he was committed
as a suspicious character. Judge Magee
expressed himself somewhat plainly in this
method of doing business, ana Detective
Steele stated that he wasn't the Mayor of
Allegheny, and had merely come to state
the city's case, the arresting officer being
sick. Emerson was discharged and his bail
released from liability.
Mary Stoop had her husband, William,
called up for discipline, charging him with
surety of the peace, but the trip in from
Braddock through the bracing air dissipated
Mary's ill humor, and she withdrew the
charge.
COLLINS GETS A EEPEIETE.
Tho
riucky Young Paster lias Another
Chance to l'inlsh His Task.
"I have got a reprieve." Such was the
exclamation of Elmer Collins, last evening,
as his medical attendants departed after a
very warm discussion of his condition add
prospects. The physicians in attendance
were Dr. Frank McDonald, Police Surgeon
Moyer and Dr. J. W. Heustis, with Messrs.
Sterrett, Hess, Milligan and Armstrong,
the four medical students in charge of the
faster. The discussion lasted over an hour,
Collins was put through a careful examina
tion, with the followine results: Weight,
119; pulse, 76; temperature 100; respira
tion, 19.
With the aid of one of the students Dr.
Moyer fought sturdily for the enforced end
ing of Collins' attempt. Bat for Dr. Heus
tis, who interfered with a compromise, the
police surgeon might have carried the day.
It was finally agreed to proclaim a truce for
the time being, thus giving tbe faster all to
day lor rest.
BIVALS IN A PHONOGRAPH.
Jefferson and Florence Preserve Their
Voices for Future Generations.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Jefferson and
Florence recited a part of the third scene of
"The Rivals" in a phonograph, and when
tbe cylinder was turned on it repeated the
words of the two great actors with wonderful
distinctness. Tbe comedians tackled the
phonograph with as much ease as though it
was their daily task, or as though they were
before their audieuce in the Duquesne
Theater.
Mr. Jeflerson "talked a letter" to his
daughter, who is now in England, and Mr.
Florence also put his voice in the machine,
which will be ground out for his wife, who
at present has all London at her feet.
NO BIRTHDAY CELEBEATION.
3Iayor Gourley Says He Will Not Issue a
Proclamation.
Although the city of Pittsburg will be 75
years old on Wednesday, March 18, there
will be no celebration by the city or or
dered by the city. Only the usual routine
will mark the birthday of Pittsburg. The
main cause for there being no celebration is
that the time is too short to make any kind
of preparations.
Mayor Gourley, when asked about the
matter, said it might have been practicable
if it had been acitated a month ago, but no
kind of celebration could not be arranged
in three days, and be will therefore not
issue any proclamation.

Jr. 0. U. A. 11. Calls Down .Yalley
Forge Council's Action,
A MANIFESTO FROM THE COUNCIL.
State Councilor Collins and Other Officials
Talk Plainly.
YAIiIiL-I FORGE MAI L0SE.ITS CI1ARTEE
The action of Valley Forge Council, Jr.
O. IT. A. M., in reference to carrying the
green fligMn St. Patrick's Day parade by
the admirers of that patron saint, was
the subject for much comment yes
terday, and some criticism, even
from the conservative members of
the order. It turns out. however, as sur
mised in yesterday's Dispatch, that the
movement was not authorized by a majority
of the members. On the contrary, there
were but few who knew anything about the
appointment of the committee that visited
Mayor Gourley. As soon as they became
informed of what had been precipitated by
what they claim is the radical portion of
their membership, they set about to correct
the wrong impression which had been
created for them.
J. H. Brokaw, S. H. Bennett, R. C.
Smith, T. W. Meese, C. N. Kuntz, W. H.
Atkinson, J. L. Kilgore, F. S. Bennett, W.
J. Inelis, Dr. E. E. Gardner. C. A. Kichard
son, C. E. Bellz aud H. W. Luther, who
are among tbe most prominent members of
the council, prepared the following circular
letter, which will be sent to all sister coun
cils in the State:
Not tho Work of tho Council.
We, the undersigned members of Valley
Forge Council, No. 361, Jr. O. Tj. A. M., wishing
to vindicate ourselves in the eyes of our broth
ers and the public to tho action taken by our
council in regard to prohibiting tbe display of
the creen flag of Erin on St, Patrick's Day, will
say it was the voice of a few "radicals" and not
the voice of the council. On our last meeting
niebt tho better element of the council was
absent and these few took advantage of this
fact.
In addition to this, about 40 members
have threatened to withdraw from the coun
cil, and if this were carried out, the council
would collapse. It is liable to lose its char
ter, at any rate, as the action taken at its
meeting Thursday night is a clear violation
of the general laws of the organization. The
law referred to reads:
Any member or council of this order who
shall in any manner, way or form, directly or
Indirectly, in or out of the council chamber, at
any public or private meeting of any kind what
ever, whether called or held by members of
this order, or otherwise, chance, alter,
modify. add to, omit from, or
misrepresent any of the principles
or obiects of this order, or any part of tbe llt-
uaU shall at the next ensuing session of tbe
National Council, upon proof of such change,
alteration, modification, addition, omission, or
misrepresentation, be expelled from this order,
and the charter of such council declared for
feited. A Similar Case Recalled.
The present case is considered to be paral
lel to the one in which Pride of tbe North
Council was implicated durin? the County
Centennial, when that council pissed reso
lutions denouncing the Centennial Com
nuttee as being "un-American and
insulting to the dignity of American
citizens," because the committee had denied
the Mechanics a representation on tbe Com
mittee of Arrangements. H. A. Keil, who
was State Councilor at the time, decided tbe
council was in error because it undertook to
make the public believe tbat the sentiment
expr-Esed by a few members was the senti
ment ot the entire order.
Speaking of this matter last evening,
State Councilor Stephen Collins said: "The
men who went to Mayor Gourlev had no
authority to represent .the Jr. O. 17. A. M.,
but as there are over 20,000 members in this
county, it is but natural that there should
be some hot-headed and over-zealous persons
among them. The order should not be re
sponsible for their actions, however, any
more than a church or sect should be held
responsible for the crimes or misdemeanors
of every member of the sect.
"The cause of Americanism cannot be ad
vanced by tearing down green or red flags
by force, but all aliens or foreigners should
be taught that the flag of the United States,
which insures to them their civil and re
ligious liberty, should be the only cusicn
under which they wonld want to march.
There should be no Irish-Americans or
German-Americans or any other hyphenated
Americans, but all who come here
to enjoy tbe rights and privileges and bless
ings guaranteed them by the Stars, and
Stripes should leave behind them the in
tolerance, bigotry and fanaticism of the old
countries, so should they leave behind them
the emblems of those countries. We want
ouly pure Americanism in this country,
and" the emblem of the American institu
tions should be good enough for any citizen
to march under.
Itronght Oat by Such Incidents.
"These incidents only give an occasion
for those thirsting after popularity or notor
iety to air their opinions and ignorance.
They always bring forward the fact that
thousands of loyal Americans of Irish birth
served in the Union aruiv. You can de
pend on it, none of those loyal veterans will
want to march UDder anything but the
Stars and Stripes. Green and red
flags should not be carried in any
parades through our streets, but true Amer
icans will not seek to prevent it by any re
course to force, but by teaching every man
tbat marches that he could have no Higher
honor than to march under but one fl.ig.
and know that it is his flair, the only flag of
every true American, whether native or for
eign born.
"There will be no need for the squad of
stalwart Irish policemen to protect the
green flag if carried. We can afford to wait
until public sentiment and American pa
triotism banish all the ensigns ol European
tyranny and superstition, intolerance, social
ism, anarchism and nihilism from our
streets, and demagogic political officials
find it unpopular to cater to the Irish vote,
or the German, Italian, Hungarian or Pol
ish vote, which tbey will do when tbe
American vote makes itself felt, as it cer
tainly will."
Past State Councilor D. G. Evans was
highly displeased at the action of Valley
Forge Council. He said: "I have no hes
itancy in sayinsr that the reputed action of
Valley Forge Council will meet the dis
approval of 99 per cent of the members of
the order, and I would not be surprised if
the council would lose its charter in conse
quence. The "laws of the order provide
lor the forfeiture of the charter of
any council that misrepresents its
objects in any way, and the impression this
council bas conveyed by its radical and ill
advised action is certainly directly contrary
to the principles upon which the order is
founded. lam very sorry the thing oc
curred, and, while I like to see harmony in
the order, I would oppose any such bigotry
as that disfHyed by Valley Forge Council
so long as l was a member.
In Defiance of the Order's Xawg.
John K. Emge, editor of the organ of
the oVder published in this city,
aud a member of the State
Council, said: "I know nothing of
the matter excepting what has appeared in
The Dispatch, and still hope it may
prove to be a mistake. All I can say is
that if Valley Forge Council has taken the
action reported, it was in de
fiance of the laws of tbe order,
and in violation of its principles.
I have seen a nnmlcr of the active mem
bers of the order to-day, and all are indig
nant over the matter, fearing that the ill
advised, unauthorized and uncalled for
action of a few irresponsible people will
injure tbe order in the estimation of the
public. I hope, however, that when it is
understood that the thing originated in the
addled brains of a few persons whose bigotry
and prejudice is equaled only by their
iznorance of what tbe order teaches, the
I judgment will not be so unfavorable."
Fred J. Shaler, a member of the National
Council, said he was in favor of making an
example of those who were responsible for
bringing disrepute upon the organization so
that others who seek personal notoriety,1
rather than the development of the true
principles of the organization, may know
how to conduct themselves.
A. L. Solomon and H. B. Peck other
members of tbe National Council spoke in
the same strain.
It is known generally who was responsible
for the action of Valley Forge. A year ago
this radical member made amotion for the
appointment of a committee lor the same
purpose, but his Councilor ruled the motion
out of order. This year be took advantage
of his Council when there were less than a
dozen members present, and as a conse
quence the order is made to suffer.
THE ELECTION OF STUDIES.
President Eliot, of Harvard, Talks Upon
Recent Educational Movements The
Trend Is Toward the Choice by Students
of Their lino or Work.
President Eliot, of Harvard College, was
entertained last evening by the Harvard
College Club of Pittsburg at the Duquesne
Club. A hearty reception was given him
by the members of the association and by
many representative citizens who, with their
wives and "daughters, were invited for the
occasion. Previous to this, President
Eliot delivered a most instructive
address upon recent educational move
ments in the United States. Those
to which he referred had taken place since
the Civil War, and the one of which he first
spoke was what is known as tbe elective sys
tem of studies. It had been opposed, he
said, at every step, until now no one
questions its efficiency and success in devel
oping scholarship.
The question now is not as to the wisdom
oi tbis policy, but the extent' to which it
may be safely carried. Alike in the oldest
and newest academies and high schools
there is a choice between at least two
courses. Denver has three optional courses
in her high school, while the high school of
.Kansas City oners eight courses to students.
He believed that the system would penetrate
lower.and it certainly should enter grammar
school grades. Another movement had been
the individualization of instruction. It
had been introduced in the universities and
was also working downward. The plan was
that of one teacher addressing himself to
one student. This system could be intro
duced without difficulty in tbe public
schools, as for instance in drawing, manual
training and the kindergarten.
All thi works toward the implanting and
disciplining of power and vigor. It is not
the mere absorbing of knowledge at which
the universities now aim, but the applica
tion of that power. This chancre in the end.
of higher education, is of importance with
reference to its successful use in after life.
It does away with that old distinction be
tween the practical man and the educated
man. Then there is the new type of
scholars brought about by these move
ments. He is deferential to the past,
but not to the extent of allowing it
to govern the present. Again there is the
different attitude of the university to re
ligion. There are fewer denominational
colleges, and consequently more religious
toleration. President Eliot said that some
might ask whether these special studies did
not tend to a narrowness instead of sym
metrical development He thought not, as
the subjects of study were so varied that no
one man could grasp them all.
At the conclusion of the address, Presi
dent John H. Kicketson introduced Presi
dent Eliot to the members of the associa
tion and the numerous guests, and the re
mainder of the evening was most aereeably
passed. President Eliot bas a delightful
manner on the platform.
HUMANE AGENT FOB SOMERSET.
President Eaton Appoints tbe Fifty-Second
in Western Pennsylvania.
President L. H. Eaton, of the Humane
Society, yesterday returned from Somerset,
Pa., where he had been in tbe interest of tbe
society. He held a conference with an um
ber of the best and most prominent citizens
of the town, who showed much interest in
humane work. The conference resulted in
tbe selection of Jacob Fleck to be an agent
of the society for Somerset county.
Fleck makes the fifty-second agent of the
society. Since August 22, 1890, President
Eaton has visited 49 of the largest cities and
towns in Western Pennsylvania and ap
pointed agents at 43 of the places visited.
All these agents, with the exception of
three, are giving humane work special at
tention, and more is being done now for
humanity's sake by the society than any
time since it was organized. Two of the
agents who are referred to as not working
have resigned and the other has died since
his appointment.

To Be Separated in tbe Fannin? Mill
of Justice This Week
BEFORE JUDGES WHITE ASD MAGEE
Who Will Preside Over the Affairs of the
License Court.
GDKKIKG AFTER TBE SPEAK-EA5I LIST
The grind of the Criminal Court will be
heard no more in the land for six weeks to
come,by which time it is expected tbe 1,925
applicant; for permission' to "fill the flow
ing bowl" will have been heard, and their
cases disposed of by their Honors, Judges
White and Magee. Some people profess to
be able to forecast the policy of tbe
Court, but they are just as likely to
miss as to bit, though there is a considera
bly sized vox populi that is in favor of
more retail houses, and this sentiment is
largely developed among people who do not
drink. They think that as' thinning out
the-houses does not decrease drinking the
county might as well bave the extra
revenue, and tbey argue that if licensed
violators are vigorously punished the tares
will soon be weeded out.
There is also a considerable portion of
the dealers who like to see violators of the
law punished, as they say there is no excuse
for illegal work on the ground of misappre
hension; that there is no trouble in keeping
a straight bouse if the dealer so desires.
Want a Change in the Brooks Law.
It is also desired by many people tbat the
Brooks law be so amended that if an appli
cant die his legal representatives may go
on with the business for tbe term,
as they say tnat a reputaoie
hous: may bave a good business ruined by
the closing of the bar. There are places on
principal country thorongbi'ares where
licensed houses are needed, if anywhere.
For instance, there is a neighborhood on the
Steuben ville pike where some of the leading
citizens were much put out when a house
failed to get 'license. The proprietor
got a modest revenue from the bar
and kept travelers as long as he
bad license, but when refused he said tbe
house didn't pay, and he refused to longer
entertain.
This threw the burden of re'usal on pri
vate citizens, who said they would not even
keep a Judge of the court.
They seemed to be as much, if not more,
put out than the rejected applicant. A pri
vate citizen does not eiten care to keep
strangers in his bouse at any price.
Since the applications were filed two ap
plicants have died.
While it is stated that the L. and O. and
W. C. T. U. societies will not take any open
active part in the matter of remonstrating, it
is more than likely they have been doing
some quiet work that may be very effective.
A Case of Cooked Goose.
It is said that Attorney B. C. Christy has
made arrangements to pull the record on 120
dealers, both wholesale and retail, and will
begin tbe work at the beginning of the
hearings. One case was developed on
Saturday during a hearing that will
probably cook one applicaut's g6ose. It
would appear that the Court is in possession
of enough information from the record to
enable it to aim well at any heads it may
desire, and consequently does not need much
outside help, but charges preferred against
an applicant in open court are likely to be
damaging, if substantiated. ,
One of tbe greatest hardships some dealers
have to contend against is the lateness of
the season when the hearings begin. Many
leases would not be made lor occupancy on
April 1 if applicants could know their fate
in December. They might work together so
as to have moving day put off to June 1, and
hare thefwarning day tuns put forward two
nfouths. By' so doing tbey would become
life-savers, as moving on April 1 is very
likely to produce pneumonia.

. CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
A Soutbilder Who Is Being Benefited by the
Koch Lymph Sow an Inmate of a
Philadelphia Hospital, Where He Is
Doing Nicely. -
William Schutz, a Southside glassworker,
has been at the German Hospital in Phila
delphia for some time for treatment under
the Koch lymph process for consumption.
In a letter to his brother-in-law, F. N.
Stucky, of 1223 Carson street, he ex
plains the treatment. After a thorough
diagnosis of his case the doctors decided
that both of bis lungs were aflected, and he
was put in the Koch ward. He had to wait
Ifor two weeks before he received any of tbe
lymph, owing to the number of patients
ahead of him.
Last Tuesday he received the first injec
tion, one-half a milogram, under the right
shoulder. It made him a little feverish at
first, but be thought he felt better in a short
time. On Wednesday the second injection
was given him, one milogram, under the
left shoulder blade, which be thought made
a decided change for the better. Tbe third
injection was to be given bim on Friday,
the date of his letter, but it had not been
given at the time of writing.
Mr. Stucky states that ever since the
announcement of the Koch discovery Mr.
Schutz wanted to be treated by it, and was
one of the first applicants for treatment at
the Mercy Hospital, in this city, but he
became impatient at tbe delay in the arrival
of the lymph, and when be heard of there
being a supply in Philadelphia, nothing
would satisfy him but to go there.
"From the tone of his letter." adds Mr.
Stucky, "I think it is doing him good. He
is brightening up considerably, and seems
to take notice of little things. He says the
food is excellent and the nurses are very
kind. His only objection is that he was
disturbed every four hours, night and day,
to have bis temperature and 'pulse taken."
Altogether, Mr. Stucky takes a hopeful
view of the lease, and thinks tbe treatment
will result in a complete cure to Mr.
Schutz.
EXPECTED THIS WEES SURF.
Everything in Beadlness to Bush Through
the Appropriation Ordinance.
Some of the city officials are firm in the
belief tnat the Supreme Court will hand
down its opinion on the street cases on Mon
day. In that event the appropriation ordi
nance can be completed by Wednesday
afternoon and a special meeting of Common
Council will be called for Monday after
noon. Select Council can meet on Friday.
When the millage is fixed the assessor's
clerks can complete the tax duplicates since
only the city tax is to be added. The tax
duplicates can then be given to the treasurer
about March 23.

Some Beadlne That Will Prove Interesting
to Young Mothers now to Guard
Against the Disease,
Croup is the terror of young mothers,
especially during the winter months, as it is
then most prevalent. To post them concern
ing the cause, first symptoms, treatment and
bow to prevent it is the object of this
article.
The origin of croup is a common cold;
children tbat are snbject to it take cold very
easily, and croup is almost sure to follow.
Tbe first symptom of croup is hoarseness;
it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized
and once heard always remembered. Usually
a day or two before the attack the child be
comes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms
of having taken cold, and this is where the
mistake is usually made, the mother, think
ing her child has just taken cold, gives it "no
especial attention until awakened in
the night by the violent coughing of
the child, finds it has the croup and
remembers it has had a cold or been hoarse
fdraday or two. Such circumstances olten
occur and in many cases the mother has
nothing in the bouse that will relieve it,
and may be several miles from a physician
or a drug store. You can well imagine the
situation and ber distress. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse or
shows symptoms of having taken cold. If
Chamberlain's Cough. Remedy is freely
given from that time on all tendency to
croup will disappear and all danger be
avoided. The remedy prevents fully 10,000
cases of croup every year. It is the main
reliance of many mothers throughout the
Western States and Territories. They have
learned its value and how to use it, and in
those families croup is seldom known be
cause it is always prevented. For sale by
druggists. vsu

Bj the Bill, Now in the Legislature to
EegnlateGoal Bnrning.
THE CITY MAI HAVE CLEAR SKIES
If the Provisions of Senator
Measure Become a Law.
Flinn's
HINTS FE0M AN JXTEKESTED CITIZEN
Pittsburg lies under a pall of smoke, and
the air is thick with soot, but by next
winter all this will have diappeared. At
present the city is powerless to prevent it,
but a bill is now before tbe Legislature pro
viding for tbe regulation of the smoke
nuisance. It was drawn up by Collector
Warmcastle, and has already been pre
sented by Senator Flinn.
The bill gives all cities the right to regu
late, the burn ins of coal by ordinance and
fix penalties for non-compliance. Trie in
tention is to compel the ue-of smoke con
sumers in all factories, mills, etc., and on 1
r : I . I.- .-.. - .. V
inrnaces in jinvuic iiuusca. vuc ca
tion of tbe bill provides that no patent de
vice that will do tbe work shall be discrim
inated against.
The bill is backed by the Pittsburg and
Philadelphia delegations and is sure to pass
as soon as called up. Chief Bigelow, in
speaking of the matter yesterday, said the
bill was sure to be passed. Ordinances
would be drawn up at once and he wonld
see that they were strictly enforced. He
said the city could not afford Xo allow the
smoke nuisance to continue.
In this same connection an ibteresting let
ter on the subject of the smoke nuisance
was sent to The Dispatch -by one of
the leading attorneys at the Allegheny
county bar, who desires at this time to be
known as "John Smith." The letter is as
follows:
Permilt me to add a few words to emphasize
the thoughts in vour timely article on the
smoke nuisance. The article was just what I
hail been looking for for a lone time. Six
months aso, when the mills and Inrnaces began
going hack to coal. I said to myself: Will it be
possible that the peoDle of Pittsburg, after live
or six years' immunity from coal smoke, will
tamely permit a resumption of tbe old order of
things without a protest; As I waited month
after month, I bezan almo't to despair, bnt
yonr rerent editorial bas inspired me with
fresh hone.
People of Pittsburg, are you willing to go
back to tbe old days of smoke and grime with
out a struggle? Do you not know tbat cleanli
ness to our city means bealtb, prosperity ani
happines.; and that a smoky pall means dirt,
disease and disgust? If there was no means of
preventing the evil you would be witbout
blame; but when there are now a half-dozen or
more smoke-consuming devices in successful
operation in this city and elsewhere, your su
pineness is witbout excuse.
Legislators at City Hall, cannot you lay
aside your Poor Farm scnemes for a short
time to consider this most important question?
II you will onlv give us some goou, practical
legislation on this vital subject we wilf forgive
vour past Dlunders and will not kick on the
tax millase. In brief, we are willing to do any
thing short of going to jail if you will only
abate this smoke nuisance.
.Yours for cleanliness, John Smith.
