The -ire their school, their de fenders; and althooch the charge Is made that we breed discontent, tie do not deny It. Just Yl hat They Do Breed. "We do not breed discontent with lustice, right or the Institutions of the country, but with Injustice, corruption and the attempts to drive tbe waceworkers down and the attempt to rob them of their right and liberty. Contentment 1 one of the greatest tyrants the world i ver produced. The Czif ot Kusla once declared that there was peace at Warsaw; hut it was at the point of the bayonet and the month of the cannon. We want peace, but It xuut be based upon an improved condition bioucbt about by the masses. "We are also chatted with breeding dissatis. faction To this 1 also plead guilty. (Laughter.) e have never yet had enough to satisfy us. Labor is the creator of all the wealth of the world, anil poe,!sion and capital are nothing leR than the stored up labor of pat ages. We are told that we are better tiff than our grand fathers were; that we receive more than last We answer that wc want more, and we will want still more to niorro. and moic and more until we have received the full product of our labor You can measure a man's wants by the posit on he occupies in life. Take a man that earns SI a Ui and he is satisfied with 10 cents of an advance. A man who get S3 wants about SO cmts more The man who gets $1,000 wants abou S-100 of an Increase, while the man who lias millions wants all he can get his hands on. lie wants the earth. (Applause and laughter.) Reading the Signs or tho Times. "1 think 1 can read the signs of the times, and thev are that the wage-workers haTC aDout made up their minds to receive more, anil there is no necessity to dress up our demands In word-that will seem ambiguous. 7 he organizations of labor are charged with conrmualU fomenting strikes. To those who" are uninitiated, to lhoe who are not educated, and who will not take the time to read, I want to sav that irom my boyhood 1 have been an opponent or strikes. I have compared the strikes of the organized against the unorganized, and I have tound that where labor is unorgan ized in modern society, there are the greatest number of strikes, and wherever the working peojili are organized, after they have given the cmploers a demonstration that they are well organized, the number of strikes diminish." Mr Gompers here related some of the diffi culties ieprcsentativesof labor encounter when d aims with employers. The latter often re iue to confer with them because the agent represents The union and not his employes. To overcame tms. Mr. Gompers would have the enplojer impressed with the Idea that the union represents his people, and sometimes this has to be done bv a practical demonstration, which bis audience inferred was by striking. Ideas on the Subject of Strikes. This brought the speaker to the subject of strikes, which was dwelt upon at some length. He said the Federation ot Labor proposed to reeuce the number of strikes to A minimum by preparing for them. "The better prepared wage workers are for strikes," said he, "the less the will have to indulge in that costly mxurv. But we will not denounce strikes entire'lv Whenever we decide never to strike the corporations will do the striking for us, by reducing our wages and increasing our hours of lab jr. An organi sation that resolves, regardless of causes, that thev will not strike, reminds me of an Eastern mi itary organization that resolved when the w ar wonld break out they would disband. We are in thi war so long as theie is a wrong per petratedso long as there is a right not yet ac hieed" hen Mr Oompers reached tho subject of arbitration, be grew humorous. Said he. - hen England has a dispute wit!) Egypt, or some other weak country, she bombards it. ucn she has trouble with America, she is w ing to talk the matter over. When a cor poration has a dispute with unorganized work ing people it says, 'We have nothing to arbi trate but when they are organized they are alwavs ready to disruss the difficulty 'H lie then u"ok up the short day problem from the time the American Federation began its agitation, disenssing the condition of the working cla-es in Eugland as tompared with lb ise of America, and answering the argu ments of the opponents of longer work days, un this point he said "I maintain tnat If ndustnal and commercial progress depend upon low wages and long hours of labor, China ought to stand at the head of the nations of the world." He riaiculed the propositions of political economists and capitalists that when times are hard, busine" must be tied up. The best mar ket is when the producers of wealth are largely me consumers of that wealth, and I urge that the highest wages should be paid, so they can give an outlet to tite overstocked shelves, and draw the plug that stops the market, lteduco the hour of labor, so that the men can cultivate taste. Reduce the hours so that hundreds who are waiting the streets of our cities and towns will have a chance to consume wealth and produce it and become a part ol the human fatnilj and give renewed impetus to the commerce of the world." The Coke Region Troubles. Taking up the recent cok region difficulties Mr Gompers expressed himself in exceeulncly forcible language Ue said he had hoped the eight hour fight of the miners could have been won without the shedding ot blood. Ho st j led the killing of the men at Morewood as a "dastardly outrage." and "upon the heads of the coke barons of Connellsville rests the blood of these poor fellows " A voice from he sailer. lou stand upon the same point t at the men did who freed the Southern slaves ' Mr. Oompers qulckl) caught up the remark and replied, "t hae a profound re spect fur the memorv of Garrison and Wendel Phillips, anti if I can in any way emulate in inv humble wa their deeds I shall feel that I have done some good." Prolonged ap plause Mr Gompers commented on the fact that the workmen of Connellsville were arreted "for striking for bread and butter and required to He SI OOu before the killing while the murder ers were onlv asked for 300 bail after the rouble He also referred to the statement nut the men killed were "only Huns " "Th-i operators are responsible for their presence," said lie Mr Gompers referred to the coming carpen ters strike and the dissension in the ranks of t eran. "I know there are hogs that want to be rooting all the time, and the odI uav you can control them is to put a ring in oeii noses " This was taken as a hint to those who propose the nine-hour massmeeting ot carpenters that they re to be called down if they proceed. "sorry no scale Was Selected He then took up the miners' strike and deplored the fact that the recent cor.f rence was unable to settle upon the scale. He said "I hold that the mines can be oper ated lor a longer period throughout tho reason by the adoption of the eight-hour u The miners will make their demands la 1. and I appeal to the peace loving people of the country to stand by tbem, and help the wage workers to be better fed. better clothed, the.r children better educated and civilization advanced." hen Mr. Oompers had finished he was sur rounded by a host of men anxious to shake his hand. He lea es to-da for Philadelphia. He would not express himself in an Interview on the coming strike. A SUB-COMMITTEE NAMED To Prepare the Report on Plans for the Carnegie Library.

Resolutions Tossed Pledging AH Church Members to Everywhere Work for Legislation OPPOSED TO THE SALE OP LIQD6ES. Suggested Action ty the Euprtms Body Criticised kj Those Present. The regular quarterly meeting of the Allegheny Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church was held yesterday in the North Presbyterian Church, Lincoln avenue. The leatures of the sessions were the preparation and almost unanimous adoption of an over ture to the General Assembly, praying for an orderly inquiry in the fitness of Kev. Charles A. Briggs, of New Yore, to con tinue to occupv the Chair of Biblical The ology in the Union Theological Seminary, and the adoption of a resolntion pledging the members of the church to support pro hibitory liquor enactments in every State and Territory. The latter resolution was not carried without much discussion, con ducted at times rather warmly. The morning session opened at 10 o'clock, and business began by electing Rev. New ton Donaldson Moderator. The only im portant business transacted was the presen tation of an overture by Rev. John Fox re garding the Dr. Briggs aflair. A commit tee was appointed to report on it during the atternoon. A Warm Afternoon for AIL The afternoon session was called to order at 2 o'clock by the Moderator. Samuel M. Glenn was received from the Zsnesville Presbytery and John C DunlaD from the Kittanning Presbytery. I Francis Kennedy, a student of the Western Theological Sem inary was examined for licentiate and his trial sermon set to occur in the evening ex ercises. A call was extended to John C. Ambrose by the Bull Creek congregation. Rev. John Fox, Chairman ot the committee appointed in the morning to prepare an overture to the General Assembly in refer ence to the complaints made against Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. D., presented the fol owing: "The Presbytery of Allegheny respect fully overtures the General Assembly, ask ing that some suitable action be taken by the Assembly to secure an orderly inquiry into the fitness of Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D.D., to ocoupv the Chair of Biblical Theology in the Union Theological Semin ary of New York, into which it is well known be has been recently inducted. This Presbytery disclaims any desire to decide what may be the proper mode of procedure, or to determine in advance the precise merits or demerits of the address delivered by him at his inauguration. But they feel that in appearance, at least, it is a direct attack on the authority and reliability of the Holy Scriptures; likely to shake the faith oi our people in tbem as the Rule of Faith, and that the matter has now as sumed such a shape that it affects the whole Church. They, therefore, feel bound to express their earnest wish that the Assembly shall take efficient measures which shall either vindicate the reputation of Dr. Briggs er prevent1 his occupancy of the said professorship. Ought to flaveea Show. Rev. Dr. Campbell stated that he was op posed to the overture, because before such radical action should be taken Dr. Briggs should be given an opportunity to explain bis utterances. Dr. Campbell said be bad so sympathy with Dr. Briggs or the professed views he is said to have made, but that he should, in justioe to the position he had been selected to fill, either vindicate, or attempt to vindicate himself. A short discussion on the matter followed and the overture was almost unanimously adopted. The following delegates to the Gen eral Assembly were then elected: Kev. J. D. Gibsnn and Rev. K. S. Kennedy as ministers, with Kev. M. Rutherford and Rev. J. B. Turner as alternates. Messrs. Totten and Barney were elected for the elders and Messrs. Disk and Moore as alternates. Rev. L. N Hays wext set the ball rolling for a discussion conducted, at times, in rather a warm manner by offering a set of resolutions regarding the position of the Presbytery to ward the liquor traffic The resolutions read: "Whereas, The action taken by the Pres bytery at Its last meeting, on tbe temperance queMlon, has been interpreted as in favor of tbe liquor interests, and as opposed to the de liverances of our General Asembly:"and Whereas, It seems most desirable that this Presbytery should occupy a very clear position before the world on a question ot such vital ana widespread importance; therefore, "Resolved, That the Presbytery calls the special attention of all our members to the last deliverances of the General Assembly, and that we hereby indorse, as a Presbytery, the following of the deliverances: Flat Declaration of Principles- '"We enjoin our ministers and people to abate nothing in their zeal and effort, in or out of church, to check tbe drinking habits of so ciety, and br effort, voice and vote oppose the traffic in intoxicants as a beverage, believing with intensified conviction that it is an inex cusable curse to our country and our age. "'While, as a church, we neither advocate nor antagonize any political party, we earnestly commend to our ministers and people, as Christian peoole and citizens, such vigorous, persevering efforts as may seem wisest to them toward the enactment, in every State and Ter ritory, of statutes which shill hopefully secure entire prohibition of a traffic largely responsi ble tor the bulk of drunkenness, crime, pauper ism and social misery which affects our land,' " Kev. John Fox thought that there was no necessity for passing any such resolution. "I am sorry," said he. "that the Presbyterian church feels it necessary to assure the people that it was not in sympathy with tbe liquor traffic This resolution is a semi-political reso lution. The Presbytery has no authority to adopt snch a measure." Kev. Dr McKallip I beliete tbe members are willing to submit the resolution to a vote on its merits without further discussion. Rev. K. S. Keunedi I don't know auoutthat. We do not all agree on every point in this question. 1 am sorry it has been brought up. for I presumed that it had been disposed of at tbe last meeting. The resolution forces our Presbytery to assume a civil attitude, and it forces and fetters the consciences of many of our members. Used by the Opposition. Rev. I. N. Hays at this point read extracts from a Washington connty newspaper, printed as advertisements in support of the liquor in terest, and an account that appeared in one of the Pittsburg papers of the last meeting of the Allegheny Presbytery, in which the temper ance resolutions were defeated, and the resolu tion of Kev. John Fox was adopted. The reso lution of Ke. John Fox referred to was as fol lows: "Resolved. That we earnestly recommend our church members to use all proper means, both by law and in other ways,to prevent drunk enness and punish lawbreakers, but distinctly decline, as a spiritual court of Jesus Christ, to decide on the merits or demerits of different policies of civil government or legislation for the accomplishment of the temperance re form." "Thus," continued Dr. Hays, "our meeting of last December has been used as an adver tisement for the liquor interests; our entire discussion was given in tbe advertisement, and our true meaning has been falsely represented. 1 think that tn show where our body stands we should pa s the resolution I have offered. I Iiuj lore yon tn do so that we may not feel tbe insult of being commended by tbe drunkards in saloons. We should put ourselves in our true and right light immediately." Rev. Dr. McKallip I am willing to abide by the wisdom of the General Assembly and pass the resolutions and indorse every word. As far as regards fettering the consciences ot some of our members, are they not tottering ours by ! binding Us to sllmce and aIlomg the liquor men to misrenresent Us? TUB last meeting was a small one, a'nd tbe action taken WIS almost by a minority of the Presbytery. Rev. J. J. Graham Yes, we are misrepre sented. Every saloon in the country could put above their doors "the Lord Jesus Christ was a moderate drinker.1' So have our utterances and meaning been distorted. Wouldn't Have It Referred. Mr. Kennedy moved that the matter be re ferred to a committee of six to be settled or a report made. The motion was. however, not seconded. Rev. John Fdx The resolution of tamo was necessary after the defeat of the three temper ranee resolutions. As a spiritual conrt ot Jesus Christ it is entirely out of our place to attempt to interfere in legislation or pass on Its methods and different policies in reference to liquors. And, morover, it is out of our juris diction to do this. Yon cannot force our con science and if this resolution is passed I wish my protest entered against it Rev. Dr. Campbell made an eloquent plea for the resolution. He held that this land is a Christian land, a Christian country and a pro fessed Christian neoplo according to the Con stitution of tho Ubited btates and Under the Church laws. As such the people are respon sible for the evils that are in their midst, and they became moral questions, and as tho church is the guardian ot morality it should not hesitate to announce itself emphatically on the question under consideration. The Moderator remarked that although they were talking privately tho action to-morrow would be proclaimed from every housetop. This had tbe effect ot stopping the discussion. A vote was called for, and the resolution was carried by a vote of S8 to 12. Considerable rou tine business was then transacted, and & recess for supper was ordered. A Satisfactory Trial Sermon. At the evening session Francis Kennedy made his trial sermon, to the satisfaction of the members. The ovorture from tbe General Assembly to tho Presbyteries was taken up and discussed. The overture related to the method of making amendments or revisions or alterations of the confession of faith, the form of government and the book of discipline, etc By the new method proposed by the Gen eral Assembly all alterations in tbe confession of faith must be approved by tbe General As sembly and two-thirds of the Presbyteries. The measures may be proposed by either the As sembly or the Presbyteries. To change the form of government or book of discipline only requires the approval of a majority ot Presby terios. On tho discussion on the overture from tbe General Assembly, it was opposed by the Rev. Dr. Campbell, lie asserted that it was placing too much power in the bands of the General Assembly, when the balance of power should remain with Presbyteries. The Rev. Dr. Hays, tbe Rev. Mr. Light, Mr. McCallnp and Mr. Fox spoke in favor of the new method. At the con clusion of tho discussion a vote was taken and the methods proposed in the overture were approved. The Presbytery adjourned at 10 o'clock to meet on the second Tuesday in June at Sewlckley. Tbe case of Rev. B. Briggs is exciting much interest in church circles, a full account of the Sosition of wnose case appeared In Sunday's IISPATCH, THEY WANJJIM BACK. Members of the East End Reformed Pres byterian Church Petition the Presbytery for the Reinstatement of Rev. O. B. Mil llgan Kev. A. W. Temple to Join the United Presbyterians. At the meeting of the Pittsburg Presby tery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church held yesterday at Beaver Falls a petition was read from the East End congregation re questing the reinstatement of Rev. O. B. Milligan, their former pastor, who was suspended for following a derisive course in subscribing to the famous East End platform. T. C. Johnson presented the petition. He said that since Rev. Milligan left them the attendance at Sunday services had fallen from about 230 communicants to about 30or 40. Also, that their collections, wbicbhad formerly run to $30 or $30 per Sunday, now scaroely reached $10 or $13. He also stated that they are required to pay their present pastor !1C0 per month, and this falls very heavily on some 16 members of the church. The gentle man made a most eloquent speech for the sus pended pastor. The Presbytery took no I urtber action than to appoint Mr. Kilpatrick to come to Pittsburg and instruct the congregation on the firm posi tion of the Presbytery on the matter. A motion was made by Kev. J. W. Sproull that Rev. A. Vf. Temple, another of the young ministers suspended, be granted a letter of recommendation to tbe United Presbyterian Presbytery, he wishing to- unite with them. Moderator McAllister said the letter must contain a full statement of the proceedings of tbe Presbytery meeting of last Decemoer, when Rev. Temple was tried. A committee was appointed to draw up the letter. Tbe call for Dr. R. J. George for tbe New Alexandria congregation was received and laid on the table, neither the elders from that place nor Dr. George being present when the call was read. Messrs. McAllister, McDoay andMcKnight were granted licenses to preach. SOME MYSTERY ABOUT IT. Opinions That the Stockyard Fire Was In cendiary Remains of 120 Cattle Tlewed by a Curious Crowd lards to Be Re built A strong belief prevailed .at tbe stock yards that yesterday morning's, fire was incendiary. Some of the stockmen stated that they had heard it said that fire had broken out in several places at tho same time, but no one could be found who positively asserted that such was the case. The yards were visited by hundreds of peo ple dnring the day, drawn by a morbid curiosity to see bow tbe cattle looked after being roasted alive. Among the curious were scores of children and school girls who walked through the ruins and viewed the charred carcasses of the cattle with much unconcern. There were 120 beasts burned, and the bodies lay where they fell, some being almost entirely cremated, while others were merely roasted. Some bad their legs burned off. and others were without bead or neck In many cases the bodies were disrupted, and the spectacle generally was one such as young ladles are not generally credited with going out of their way to witness. The yards will be rebuilt at once by the Pennsylvania Company, which owns the prop erty, but has rented it to O. II. Allerton. of Chicago. Mr. Allerton said yesterdar that there would be no removal of the yards to Walls. Such a step had never been in contem plation. The burning of the retail yards would not inconvenience local, trade, as it was the stock time, and there was plenty of room. Tbe question ot who Is to stand the loss of the cattle was discussed by dealers yesterday. Some were of the opinion that tbe Pennsyl vania Railroad was liable, as, although the cat tle had been sold, they were still on its prop erty. William Huckenberger, of the Diamond, lost 12 head of cattle. Other losers are L. K. Rush fc Co , August Mondshlne, Berry A'Arm strong, and local butchers. Uhe cattle were valued at about $60 a head. GRD? CASES FAST DECREASING. Fewer Deaths Reported as Dne to the Dread Epidemic Tbe grip seems to be far less tenacious and prevalent than it was last week.

A DAI'S GEIST FROM LABOR CIBCLI3 The Carpenters' District Council met last night for the purpose of making the final arrangements for inaugurating the eight hoUr fight May 1. It was expected that there wonld be a full attendance of the dele gates, but tbe eight-hour meeting in Lafay ette Hall took many of them away. The only business transacted was the placing of the new working rules in the bands ot a committee to bo mailed to the con tractors. The latter will rooeire the documents to-day.

A TEttST IS SIGHT. The Price of Window Glass to Be Ad- vaneed at a Chicago Meeting. A number of window glass manufacturers representing tbe trade here went to Chicago last evening for tbe purpose of trying to revive the defunct American Company. In the party were James A. Chamber, Will iam Loefiler CUft PhilllpB, Thomas Wightman, D. O. Cunningham, Daniel McEee, James Scully and J. 0. 0. Campbell. Mr. Chambers said wages and prices were to be considered, but he would not admit that another attempt was to be made to organize the trust. Prices will Certainly be advanced. The stocks are low, and the factories are shut down. The combination was dropped to give the makers a ohanceto manipulate the market, and now it is in a favorable condition, and tbe manufacturers are united in their desires to force up prices. The wage question is a knotty problem, and Mr. Chambers steered clear of expressing any opinions in advance. TOO BUSY TO BUILD. Operations on the New Glonwood Steel Plant Postponed. The plans of the Iron and Steel Improvement Company.con trolling the Adams direct proces have been changed somewhat In regard to the work on the Glenwood plant.

A large chest of silver in a room on the third floor had been completely Cleaned our, ladles, spoons, forks, and side pieces. This was especially prized by Mrs. Miller, as It had been her mother's, and was solid and valuable. The Dels in all tbe rooms.wero tossed about in an evident desire to find money bidden away. Tbe whole house was ransacked from top to bot tom, and the only things left were three napkin rings and a silver ring, the latter being found on the Stairs where it had been dropped, Mrs. Miller reported the matter at the Mayor's office, and several officers went to the house and made a thorough investigation. Roundsman Reuter took an inventory of tbe stolen articles as far as tbey cdnld be remem bered. and went to work on the case with what ho believed to be a good clew tn the thieves. The family also had a suspicion of some people in the neighborhood, who were reported to Mayor 'Wyman some days ago for apparently watching tne premises. How they gained entrance is a mystery to tbe police, as none ot the doors or windows were found unlocked or titled Open. The theory was advanced that a ladder was used to enter a second-story window, bat no trace of that mode of entrance was left behind. Mrs. Miller was nearly prostrated by the occurrence, and said the property taken was worth more than 52,000. WILL BE BURIED TO-DAY. Lawyers Pay Tribute to the Memory of John H. lIampton"The Courts Ad journedEulogies From B. T. Watson, Jndge White and Other Attorneys. The funeral of John H. Hampton will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The pall bearers are Judges Stowe, Collier, Slagle and White, John. Dalzell, C. "W. Robb, t. T. Watson and Robert Pitcairn. The remains will be deposited in the family vault in the Allegheny Cemetery. In the afternoon a meeting of the Bar Association was held to give members of the legal profession an opportunity to pay tribute to the memory of tbe dead man. The Common Pleas and United States Courts ad journed, and all the Jndges wete present. The meeting was vetv large and the room crowded. President H. A. McCluhg In a few words gave way to Judge Stotre, who presided. W. C. Moreland, his former partner, in elo quent words Stated the object of tbe gathering, and spoke highly of tbe worth and ability ot Mr. Hampton. Johns McCleave.as Chairman ot tbe Commlttse on Resolutions, read what bad been prepared on the life of Mr. Hampton. It contained a biographical sketch, which has already appeared In Tax Dispatch, and a close analysis of his chief characteristics and methods as a lawyer. D.T.Watson followed In a fitting tribute. His oration was confined principally to 'the legal attainments of Mr. Hampton. He re ferred to his success In trying cases, his cool ness, his knack in getting favorable testimony ont of adverse witnesses and bis biting wit and sarcasm. He said Mr. Hampton was blessed with a clear, strong mind, and hard work did the rest to establish bis reputation. Judge White spoke of Mr. Hampton's social qualities. His address was very pathetic aud brought tears to tbe eyes of many. The Jndge feels keenly tbe loss of an old friend, and he concluded by saying that Mr. Hampton was an ornament to the profession. After a short eulogy from Willis F. McCook, the resolutions were adopted. MUST FOLLOW BPEOTHCATIOiTS. No Certificate Given for lira Escapes Un properly Built at First. Building Inspectors Hoffman and Brown and Assistant Superintendent Steel, of the Bnreau of Fire, constituting a sub-committee of the Board of Fire Escapes to examine newly erected fire escapes, have been for tbe past week busily engaged in'that work. In the ma jority of cases the escapes were approved and certificates issued, but there are several which the committee disapproved and ordered to be changed to the specifications of the Department 'of Publio Safety. Among these are the Hag gerty building at 1328 Penn avenue, tbe Pitts burg Gas Company's building on Sixth avenue, Tbe Albion Hotel on Liberty street and the Third National Bank at tbe corner of Virgin alley and Wood street. There have been numerous oases where the fire escapes erected, through a desire to econo mize on the part of the Contractor or owner of the building, have either been Improperly put np, tbe Stairs not properly adjusted, or the escape built without the required number or steps, iron or balances. When the escapes have Deen completed the BUb-commlttee in spect them, and when imperfect order the necessary changes. Then a second inspection is necessary before a certificate is Issneo, but the committee considers this second visit un necessary and have now decided that hereafter parties putting up escapes must follow the specifications and have tbem built so that one visit will be sufficient. In cases where this is not done the committee will refuse to recom mend tbe escape to tbe board and no certificate will be Issued, this leaving the owner of tbe building as liable to damages In case ot loss of life or injury by fire as it there was no escape. The committee say they have other duties that require their time and atteptlon, and tbey can't afford to waste time in correcting the willful blunders of others and won't do it. NO FREE TEXT BOOKS. Superintendent Luckey'a Suggestion Was Not Accepted. The regular meeting of the Central Board of Education was held last evening. The report of City Superintendent Luckey for March showed an enrollment of 26,293 pupils, with an average attendance of 22.493. He said he had received two diplomas andtwo medals,awarded the schools of Pittsburg by the Universal Expo sition of Paris In 18S9. Tbe report df the Finance Committee showed the expenditures for tbe month to have been S36 9?S 31, leaving a balance of 2333,857 OS In the appropriation and 10,443 02 on deoosit. Tbe recommendation of Superintendent Luckey for free text books in the schools was returned by the committee with a negative recommenda tion. The Committee on leachers and Salaries reported that it had granted an additional teacher for the Howard district and refused a request for one for tbe Grant district. A half holiday was granted the pupils of the schools on May 20 In order to let them attend a concert of the Gilmore Band. SMALL SCRAPS OF LOCAL NEWS. Brakejian H. F.

Hunt, Who Holds ALCOHOL KESP0KS1BLE FOR ALL TIL Following close)y oh the License Court's decisions was the fifth meeting of the Institute on ScientifioJTemperance' In struction, which was held yesterday In. the Btaitbfield Street M. E. Church.' The interest evinced by the dele gates' was almost as great as that dis played by the applicants. The evening' ses sion was addressed by Mrs. Mary A. Bunt, National and International President of the Scientific Temperance Instruction Depart ment of the tV. C. T. U. Mrs. Hunt is a lady of most pleasing address and command ing presence, and presented her views to the audience in a manner logical and convinc ing. Possessed of a clear voice, under com plete mastery, Mrs. Hunt proved & delight ful exception to either rant or whine. Her object in visiting Pittsburg in fact, tbe object of the Institute was to awaken in terest regarding temperance instruction in the public schools, aud effect, if possible, a change of text books, tbe present books in use failing far short ol the temperance marks as placed by the "W". 0. T. 17. ladies. Metaphors and Facts Mixed. Mrs. Hunt coupled metaphors and facts, and sailed the great ship "Republic" dangerously near a wall of consequences of alcoholic drink. AVith the hand of the giant Alcohol on tbe wheel, and Appetite firing the engine, destruction seems imminent, and only to be averted by prompt action. Mrs. Hunt made a good point by comparing tbe national aloobol tax of 1689 with that of 25 years ago, proving an increase of millions of dollars; She then quoted from scientific books, and pro claimed alcohol a rank poison. Tbe period two years ago when so many State Legislatures increased their appropria tions for the eare ot tbe insane, was referred to, and alcohol blamed with the necessity of such an act. Alcohol was responsible, So said the lady, for detective people in the insane hospitals, prisoners in the prison and paupers in the poor house. The alcoholic slave was the worstslavein the land, and cast its fetters on its descendants without hope of freedom, ever, according to Mrs. Hunt. Modern hospitality, which included a glass of winp, was given no merit, and the Worst attribute given to nine was its power to create an appetite for itself. By predicting that the scepter would surely fall from a nation that indulged in such alco holic excesses, and Insisting that tbe Country needed clear-minded, sobe men to grapple with the Mormon, capital and labor, trade and oommerce and immigration problems, Mrs. Hnnt paved the way for her remedy for the evil, which is to bring the child np in fear and trembling of the red, red wine, by proper scientific temperance instruction .in the schools. The Laws Not Properly Enforced. The Legislatures, she said, had in all but seven States of the Union provided for such a proceeding by passing temperance education laws, but they were not enforced as they should be. Tbe question now to be solved was how to lntrodnce into the public schools text books, comprehensive and exhaustive on the temper ance question. The morning and afternoon sessions were devoted to the discussion of that question, and any school board that can resist the multitudin ous attractions that will forthwith be made upon tbem will indeed be a wonderful body of men. It was decided to implore them, by per sonal appeals, to banish the oondemned physi ologies, and adopt others: failing in that pe titions and the influence of parents, and. as a last resource, modified and round-about threats that they may lose their appropriation If they disobey the law. - r Mrs. Hunt was unable to preside at tbe after noon meeting, and Mrs. Mary Fr Lovsll, the' State Superintendent, appeared la hsr plaoe. It was a lively meeting. Questions In perfees vollevs were propounded to Mrs. Lovell, and excitement regarding the refractory sohool boards assumed a high pltob, especially When it was stated that tn one school district In the city there were three saloon keepers on the board. The Institute oalled together both partisan and non-partisan Vf. 0. T. O. members, and many notable Women were present, delegates appearing from all tbe surrounding counties. ft may be stated that the Pittsburg public schools adopted No. 1 of the series the ladles desire to introduce last year, and tbe Allegheny Board will consider the matter in May.

Prank Maeder, tbe manager of a theat rical attraction to be seen in Pittsburg next week, preceding his attraction arrived in the city yesterday. Incidental to the per formance he has a bullock, a live gentle man of. tbe Poled-Angus variety, in the eighth month of his sojourn id life. It so happens that NOW )brk and Boston enjoy or dinances that prohibit the leading of cattle through the streets without & license, and the show on the opening night in the latter city WaS almost thrown out of joint by the interfer ence ot the police as the animal was being lad from the Stable to the theater. Preparing against any such a mishap in PittsburgMr. Maeder visited tbe Department or Public Safety yesterday and encountered Chief Brown. - "Can I get a permit to lead stock through the streets," began Mr. Maeder. "What kind of stock have your' asked the Chief, looking up In mild surprise. "A bull," briefly roplled Mr. Maeder. "I tbongbt it was a bear tbe way you started out. What's the matter with him; is he dan. gerous?" "Dangerous? No, he Is a little toy bull.about knee-high to a good sized cow." "What, then, is the matter with himT Is he a masher?" Mr. Maeder was still pressing for bis license, aud the Chlet was laughing. The matter was sharply debated, and it was finally agreed that If Mr. Maeder would write and sign articles binding the bull to keep the peace the permit would be issued. Mr. Maeder forthwith drafted articles as follows: "I, the authorized agent, etc. (braggart phrases needless to reprint), solemnly agree that in leading one hornless, and commonly harmless, bull through the streets of the city of I'Jttsburg, every interest of publio sarety and propriety will be dmy subserved. The young gentleman shall be dressed with a mod. esty befitting his years and social position, and urgently warned and guarded against the ex citement that anction flags, 'Vermillion mall boxes and cardinal skirts are calculated to In spire in a bullock's young breast." The Chief accepted the affidavit when duly sworn and sealed, and Verbally issued the per mit, to wblch'Mr. Maeder paid his fee In an in. vltatlon tovacceot a proscenium box, which in vitation the Chief promised to consider.
