MACHIS AND MAIDS That Are Daily Becoming a Necessity in AllBusiness Offices, Despite Their High Price. A-TALK ABOUT THE TYPEWRITER. 'GroTrth of the Tent Trade an Evidence That Camping Out Is Getting Tery Popularin Pittsburg. THE PREVAILING STILES H SHOES. Wi Stairs Picked Vp liy Exporters -in Tonn of the TwinCitin. 'Tt is not generally known," said a gen tlemen yesterday rcll posted on the sub ject, "that the.typewriter machine is the re sult of a Pennsylvania man's inventive genius, but such is a fact. Mr. Densmore, cf Meadville, claims the honor of being the iiventor of the machine, and in his labors e was assisted by two practical printers, Messrs. Glideon and Sholes. The manu facturers of the original instrument employ at their factory 1,000 men, and turn out 600 machines a weefc. There are in Pittsburg and vicinity over 2,000 of this kind of type writer. One of the first to leave the factory was used in this city in 1877 by A.- M. Mar tin, who was then official stenographer of the Orphans Court. "These machines are now made for every language in practical use in,the world, ex cepting the Chinese, whiclris entirely too numerous as to characters ever to be sys tematized on a type machine. They are sold and in business me in all parts of the world. A Katlier Expensive cessity. "They are an expensive,necessary luxury, bs every business man will tell you more of a luxury, of course, if a sweet, winsome little maiden manipulates the keys. They cost on the average about 5100 apiece, and the cost of the maiden well, tliat can not be averaged. In some cases I know where the man marries his fiesh-and-blood typewriter the cost has been enormous. Pittsburg hasn't had many little romances of that kind. I do not know why, as there are any number of pretty, intelligent girls who are adepts in the profession and who make a good living by it. You find them in every office you enter, whether comm ercial or professional. Out of 225 pupils instructed in a "Wood street school of typewriting and steno graphy last season, but 61 were gentlemen, and with the exception of 7 all are now occupying positions. "But to return to the inanimate type writer and its cost It rents for more considerably more than a piano. Fifteen dollars, if you pay in advance for three mouths, and 8 if paid and taken by the month. Hound Up Jnlted-Tapelsm. "Besides the rental the restrictions and the requirements with which one must com ply in renting a machine are decidedly red tapeish .The person renting must promise to be on his good behavior all the time the machine is in his possession: he must 'neither bend nor break, nor hurt in any way the feelings of the machine, either by indifference to its desire for lubrication or. by endeavoring to pass language over its keyboard too strong for its tender suscepti bilities. The latter point is the hard est one to comply with a fellow feeling on the lubricating question makes one wondrous kind, you know as type writers, both animate and inanimate, are subject to the "pouts, occasionally, and the language restriction is to be lamented. In case of any injury to the delicate machine, proper redress must be made immediately by the temporary owner. Hence but few rent a typewriter, if it is possible to pur chase one, though one insurance company here annually expends 560 because the directors veto every appropriation for machine purchase, but 'O. K.' unhesitat ingly the renting measure. "Penny wise' and pound foolish. " NOT HaBD-HEABTED. Sporting Editors Enjoy a Game of Ball 'With tlie Best of Cranks. One would imagine from the roasts sport ing editors write about the home team when it is losing, that they are a cold-blooded set of fellows and do not feel those joyous ting ling sensations that pervade "tne finger tips of the cranks when three men are on bases and some one on the local nine makes a home run drive. Herein the average man is mistaken and a visit to the scorers' eland during a game will soon dispel the illusion. The vigorous manner in which they applaud when everything is going all rignt is only equaled by their biting re marks when luck is against them, or one of the home players makes a rank error. They chuckle over the blunders df the other fel lows with ghoulish glee. Even pitchers in the same club are not jealous of each other's success, which may appear strange to some people. Duringthe. game yesterday moiling, Clark son watched the Bostons from the reporters' box on the roof. At critical periods he almost perspired blood when he thought the game was going against them. He applauded the batters, growled to himself when one struck out, and was so wrapped up in his fellow players as to forget his surroundings. At one stage, when it looked desperate for his side, lie raid he felt worse about it than if he were in the box and being batted all over 'the scio. MEAT SOLD BY ITS SHADE. A Tonng Lady "Who "Wanted Only Very Delicately Tinted Lamb Chops. "Now," said Mrs. "Wilson, of the "West End, to her young lady daughter, just home from boarding school, and who was' undertaking the marketing for the first time, ''don't let the market man impose- upon you and sell you mutton chops for- lamb chops. Xou can easily select the one from the other, for lamb is so much more delicate in color than mutton." "I would like three pounds of lamb chops, if you please," said the young lady, later, to the whiteaproned, white-capped market man, "and I would like it very delicately tinted." ' "How will this suit you, Miss?" "A shade lighter, if you please." "Evidently, you're not ot the fashionable color," said the meat-seller, after the de parture of the maiden, addressing himself to the rejected mutton; "guess I'll have to bleach you. But who ever heard of buying meat by the shade, anyway?" CAUGHT WITHOUT ASMS. One Thing That Even a Cripple Cent Al ways Avoid Getting. They were walking on Penn avenue when (i poor, miserable man, minus his arms, came in sight She was very sympathetic, and as they came face to face with the unfor tunate she said: "Oh,-dear 1 he has had the smallpox too !" "Yes," he replied, "but I wonder how he caught it" PASSED THE JOKE ALONG. A Bit of, Fan Highly Appreciated by the Postoffice Employes. A euaye; genteel appearing man entered:jM the poetoffice Friday and inquired for Post- tl master McKean, A little private conversa tion with the official seemed entirely satis factory to both,and the postmaster returned to his desk, telling Assistant Edwards that the visitor wished to speak with him. Mr. Edwards graciously greeted the stranger. Finishing his talk he went out in the hall and cornered a head of a department whom he took in and introduced to the gentleman. The head of the department did likewise with' another official, when he concluded his in terview and the performance was kept up until all who could be found had met the stranger. And each one had been victimized to the extent of 10 cents for an "oriental per fumer" that would knock a man down who would dare get within a ten-foot radius of it But the laugh could not be given to any particular one of the number. Each ap preciated the joke and passed it on. BEC0LLECTC0NS OF XXBBY. I Captain Orcntt Tells How the Boys Sane National Airs on the Fourth. "Twenty-seven years ago I was one of 800 "Onion soldiers who sang the 'Star-Spangled Banner,' 'Hail Columbia' and other nation al airs in Xiibby," said Captain Orcutt, at the St Charles Hotel yesterday. "One of the boys had concealed about him a small flag which escaped the scrutiny of the guard. "We placed it on the top of a pole, and rallied around it like a lot of school boys. "We occupied the third story of the building, which was in one room. "WTien we looked through the grating on the windows we could see the angry guards below, and they didn't hesitate to shoot when a face was presented. The ballets would frequently strike the ceiling and go np through the roof. The prison authorities tried to stop us, but our spirits were too buoyant that day. "We hadn't been reduced much at that time from starvation and exposure. They punished us by giving us nothing to eat for four days, and then we received a pint of coarse meal apiece. "I didn't remain long at Iiibby, and soon was sent to Andersonville. I served nine months during the war in prison. Many and man a time I longed to be in the peni tentiary.' Anything was better than that terrible confinement I used to lie 'awake for hours and think of the swill my father cave to his hogs when I was a boy, and I often wished I could get some of it, for it was a good deal better than the fare we re ceived. It is strange under such circum stances that a soldier wouldn't think of feasts, etc., but I did not The rebels really had plenty to feed us. They were not so poverty stricken as thev represented. The men) however, suffered the most from exposure, and there was no excuse for this at Ander sonville. It was downright barbarity. The prison was surrounded with a forest of pine trees, and we would have been glad to build shanties and cut-the wood for fuel, but they wouldn't permit it I have seen as many as five of the boys freeze together in a heap. They had no clothes to wear and I did not have a fire during my impris onment Twice I broke awav, but was tracked by bloodhounds and Drought back. The first time I heard them coming I got into a tree, when four men on mules came np. They ordered me down, and J told them I would (come as soon as they took the dogs away. They threatened to shoot me, but for some reason they didn't. At another time, while on the way to Macon, I jumped off the train in a swamp with four others. "We were out for two days before recaptured. "I was one of the principal witnesses at "Washington against "Wirtz after the war. Sickness prevented my testifying 'against Bob Duncan, the quartermaster in Georgia. I remember we were in the stone jail at Petersburg when Grant shelled the town. Two of the shots struck the building and we howled for the Union troops to come on. The bovs did not care if some of them were , killed by their friends if the balance could j only escape from rebel captivity." AN APPEAL 14 THE PEOPLE. Vforld"s'Falr Men Not Indorsing Schemes to Fleece the-Foort A. G. Boenigk, one of the "World's Fair Commissioners, remarked yesterday that when the Commission met in Harrisbnrg last week the Governor made a very en thusiastic address. He is anxious to see the State's exhibit surpass every other in the union. Mr. Boenigk says every man present was interested in the work, and he thinks they won't have much trouble to stir tup enthusiasm when the committees are ap pointed and each knows what he is to do. Th a circular issued by the Pennsylvania .representatives on the National Board it is suggested that a fac-sraile of the old Inde pendence Hall be built at Chicago.'

It is pointed out that the Cen- 'tennialin!876 resulted in great benefit to tbe people ot the btate in educating them in improved home comforts, architecture, the arts and sciences, and in opening np new avenues of employment for labor. Mr. Boenigk is receiving circulars from 'all sorts of combinations, setting forth that by paying so much per week until the Fair commences the holder of a receipt is entitled to the trip to Chicago, hotel expenses while there .and admission to the fair for a certain sum: .ber of days. The commissioners are' asked to examine the schemes and indorse them. Mr. Boenigk remarked that he would pay no attention to them. He thinks the plans are gotten up to catch the poor people, and as he doesn't know the managers ne will not lend his influence to co-operative schemes that are liable to fail at the last moment without accomplishing their purpose. It is thought the commission will hold iU monthly meetings in Pittsburg, Philadel phia, Scranton, Erie and possibly at "Will lamsport In this manner all the people can be reached and heard. OPPOSED TO PABTISANSHIP. The Patriot "Will Always Vote for the Best Interests of the People. Andrew Bryce was feeling a little discon solate yesterday over the loss of the car penters' strike, but he won't allow it to worry him long. "An evolution is going on in politics," he said, "and the time is coming when the great wage-working class will make itself felt at the polls. I love my flag and country, for I think it is the best governed on earth. The true patriot, if you will allow tnar, is not a partisan in nnlitiMj lint at nil times he votes for -wTint. e thinks is best for the people as a whole and not for the few.

A few days ago Jim McKnight, the genial zoologist at Schenley Park, came out of City Hall dragging behind him, with a clothesline, an uncanny and ugly looking cur. " "Hello, Jim, got another addition to the zoo," said a friend. "No," growled the keeper, as he strode toward the postofije corner with the dog. Jim was mad, for he thought the brute was clever, and he had taken him to the hall to have him registered. "When he got there' the clerks guyed him so much about its ap pearance that the manager decided to dump him forthwith. "When he reached the, corner a dude friend accosted him, ''How are you, Mr. McKnight? "Where did you get the dog?" "Excuse me," answered Jim. "Hold the rope for a minute while I fasten my cuff button." Then Mr. McKJiight turnea nis heel abruptly, and walked briskly up Fifth avenue. -Eot a moment the dude was dazed and the terrified dog plunged wildly to get away. Officer Grimes saw the trick and en joyed it hucely. Bushing after the fleeting form of Mr. McKnight and almost pulling the poor animal's head off, the dude finally caught 'Jim, and said: "Mr. McKnight, I "What dog?" 'Tour dog." "I guess not I never had a dog." "But this is your dog." "Get out," replied Jim, keeping straight face. "1 don't know you. You can't impose on me." and he struck across the street "With a yell the dude kicked the cur, the latter gave a howl and started to run up Fifth avenue. The long clothes line interfered with his movements, but several cable cars' soon passed over it, and the animal was free with the exception of a short piece of rope around his neck which acted as a collar. The little scene while it lasted was mnch enioved bv the bystanders. but nobody laughed heartier than Jim Mc- ilnignt THE STYLE IN SHOES. A Dealer Talks Pleasantly of the X-aicst Shapes of Footgear. "The style in shoes," remarked a Fifth avenue merchant, the other day, "is long and narrow. 'Most people wear them several sizes longer than they require and a correspondingly narrow last It gives the foot a slender, graceful appearance, and in most instances is not at all detrimental to the comfort and health of the foot But sometimes on effort to wear a shoe out of proportion to the foot is attended with very serious results, as it throws the fleshy part out of 'the portion of the shoe especially designed for it. Corns and bunions are the .result Bootees are the latest thing in ladies' footgear. They are a very high "low" shoe, with patent leather tipped bottoms and cloth tops. They promise to become standard; they have been received with such favor this year. They are certainly a verv graceful shoe, pointed toe, and medium high heels. "A new rubber that has just been placed on the market is called 'Borneo, and will supply a 'long-felt vanvr It's a beautifully fitting rubber, very h igh cut in front, and will obviate the necessity of wearing gaiters or of having damp, soggy shoes in lieu of them. Ladies always nave experienced discomfort in rainy weather with their damp skirts coming in contact with their shoes at the instep, but with this rubber the necessary protection is given." NOT A MEST FOB SALOON lEEN. Down Town Eestaurants Only Do an Aver age Business. "When the down town saloon keepers counted theirTeceipts last evening they didn't find the tills overflowing with boodle, as in the good old days of yore. For soine cause they complained of dull business, and a number of reasons were advaneed to account for the falling off. One well-known caterer on Fifth ave nue said: "Why, my trade yes terday was larger than it is to day. The streets appeared deserted, and most people were out of town. I had made reparations to feed a multitude, but they idn't come. I take it that many people went visiting to-day, and had lunches with their friends, and then spent the afternoon in social sport on their lawns. The great mass, of course, were in Schenley Park, and stayed there all day. From a business standpoint the Fourth has been very disap pointing to me. "In this connection I might state that the liquor trade has been very dull this year. A leading wholesaler told me the other day that his business for May and June was $20,000 behind former years for each month. The retailers have been feeling the effects of the depression, and the number of first-class idle barkeepers looking for jobs tells the tale. Recently a restaurant keeper on Fifth avenue turned off two of his bartenders for two months to see if the trade wouldn't pick up. There isn't a for tune in the liquor traffic for anybody this season." DULL F0UBTH FOB HOTELS. A 'Clerk Claims the Strikes Have Spoiled Business This Summer. "This is' the dullest Fourth for us that I have seen in ten years," remarked a hotel clerk yesterday, "and I have been in the business since 1868. Look at that paltry list of names. Only a few on the page, and they are countrymen who have.come to see the sights. They get dinner and go home again in the evening. Some of these people are refreshingly green, and it always, does me good to see them. I like them. One asked me if I had seen 'a fellow looking for two other fellows.' Think of it, but with a very grave face I assured him I had not, and he was satisfied. . ,"The strikes have knocked ,the business this summer. People haven't the money, and they are not traveling or, stopping at good hotels. They can't afford it. I know a number of people who have been forced to leave the city by the strikes, and this-is why our Fourth is dull." t BOTH OF THEM PAINT.

UTILIZING COMPRESSED ALE. Trouble Expected at Duquesne When Non Union Men Appear. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS The water system of the little town of Ellwood, on the Pittsburg and Western Bailroad, has just been completed. The capitalists of the place have conceived the novel idea of using the water power of the Connoquenesslng in the compression of air, sufficient to operate all the mills in and around Ellwood. This is intended to super cede the use of steam or gas. The scheme will be a costly one, but a representative of the Hartman Company saia yesterday it was entirely feasible and would be carried, through. It will save a largcrsum annually than it will cost to put it-in. The same gentleman is authority for the statement that a stock company has already been formed, including aU the chief real estate and mill owners, for the purpose of erecting the necessary hydraulic machinery. Below Ellwood bridge the river tumbles over the rocks, forming a cascade followed by rapids. The force of the water as it de scends over the precipice is very great, and this point has been selected for operating upon. Dams will be built and the accumulated strength of water piped to tanks surround which the ing me air-iijjui, ujamuciBjiu eomnression IS to take 151006. The lm- nriennpd air will be comDressed to the smallest limit, and thus utilized to run all tbe machinery in the neighborhood. "The erection of a plant of the kind pro posed," said the informant, "would ordi narily cost 150,000. The saving by the abolishment of coal and gas bills will amount to millions. There are at present fvn TnfinnffiptnTips erected and two others in the course of erection at Ellwood. The largest of these will be the Hartman steel works, next in importance the Ellwood enameling works operated by an English firm." "Why has the idea of introducing cheap air power been left for Ellwood to adopt?'" was asked. "Because all labor centers do not possess the same facilities. Neither the Mononga hela nor Allegheny rivers have power enough to generate the necessary compres sion. It is reserved for a rushing semi torrent like the Connoquenessing to supply the requisite amount of power." "Work will be commenced on the project as soon as the company has been organized. A CLEVEB PEBF0BHANCE Given at the Bijou Last Evening for the Switchmen's Aid Asscclatlon. J. C. Kober's Dramatic Company gave a clever performance of "Damon and Pythias" at the Bijou Theater, which will result in the enrichment of Gilt Edge Lodge, of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid As sociation, for whose benefit the play was acted. Mr. Kober is well-known in the part ot Damon, and -his work last night was strongly artistic Mr. Elmer E. Shaner's Pythias was also a powerful piece of acting, while the Calanthe of Miss Blanche Oswald was an extremely touching characterization, be tokening stndy and natural ability. Mrs. Shaner and waster Heed Shaner were also commendable, and the perform ance as a whole was meritorious. The costuming naturally exhibited Mr. Kober's careful provision. A fairly large audience enjoyed the play. UOVTNQ TO ELLWOOD. Twenty-Five families Will Ieave the South, side This Week. . , ' ', On Tuesday morning25familieswill leaved the Southside for Ellwood, Ind., where Geore A. Macbeth & Co. are locating their new chimney factory. There is no need for them going so soon, except that they will be obliged to move before the new factory starts, and the cost,, of living through the summer shutdown will be less at EUwood than here. The men.wiU all be emploved by the firm. Nine families are already there, and more are to follow. The new factory will be ready to start with the new fire. The firm will not transfer its headquarters, but will remain on the Southside, where the old factory will be kept in operation as long as the present lease on the property continues. DEATHS FB0H EXPL0SI0HS. A Eccord of Accidents, fatal and.Other ' wise, Caused by Boilers. A record of boiler explosions occurring throughout the country for the year 1890 has just been printed showing the number of explosions, together with tbe number of people killed and injured thereby. The number of explosions was 226, the largest of any year but one in the last decade. That was 1888, when the number reached 246. JLne number of deaths was 244, or the low est for the past nine years with the exemp tion of 1885, when the fatalities only num bered 220. The iniured numbered 351. The number of killed, and injured is reduced with each succeeding year, owing probably to more modem improvements. On an aver age 1.45 persons are killed at each explosion) auu avj umers are lDjureu. NO 0UTBBEAKS YET. The Tronhle Is Expected at Dnquesne When 7fnnTTnin.t IVTay, Ann... rr . The deputy sheriffs are stilHn charge at Duquesne and will remain there until all signs of trouble disappear. So .far there have 'been no outbreaks and' the strikers have been conducting themselves very orderly, but trouble is ex pected if the firm attempts to put non-onion 'men to work, as it has threatened to do. The lodge of the Amalgamated Associa tion at that place will meet to-day. This lodge comprises about all the skilled men in the mill, and the strike promises "to be a prolonged one. Transfer of Tack Works. The negotiations which have been intl progress for three months for the removal of the Norway Tack Company, of Wheel ing,, to Norristown, have reached a success ful close, and the establishment will be re moved at once. The title deeds to the Pennsylvania Tack "Works, opeiated a, year or two ago by "Weaver & Roberts, were: made to the "Wheeling corporation on Thursday. Street Car Men ih New Uniforms. The conductors and motormen of the- Birmingham electric cars appeared in brand new uniforms yesterday; This is the first time a Southside street car employe ever wore a uniform. The uniforms are ofthe usual style, with the exception that blue caps are worn instead of the white ones in summer months, as on some of the other street car lines. The Salesmen's Picnic. Salesmen's Assembly No. 4907, K. of Ij., went down the Ohio last night and enjoyed a moonlight excursion and picnic on the river. Several hundred people were on board the J. M. Gnsky, which conveyed the happy crowd. A Benefit for the Strikers. A testimonial benefit maid of the strik ing carpenters will be given at the Bijou Theater July 8 and 9. "The Chipo' the Old Block" will be riven, introducing the popular farce comedy stars Miss Fannie J mifm Temple and LynnTWelcher, and a carefully selected company of metropolitan artists. LAB0B SAY AT 8TETOENVTLLE. Everything Prepared for To-Morrow's Big Demonstration. Everything is in readiness for the Mg labor demonstration at Steubenville to-morrow. Pittsburg will turn out several thou sand men. The first special train will leave at 8 o'clock and trains will be run from that hour until all desiring to go have been accommodated. .The delegates to the American Flint Glass Convention will leave to-night. The convention will convene at 8 o'clock in the morning'. The association will be represented by 215 delegates. These come from all points in the United States and the Canadas, as far East as Sandwich, Mass., as far "West as. San Francisco, Cat, North from .New Glas gow, Nova Scotia, and South from Talla poosa, Ga. This convention of flint glass workers will be the largest' ever held since the order has reached the limit of the States. Their Second Annual Outing. "W.- A Bunting, the rubber stamp and stencil manufacturer, has notified his em ployes to prepare for their second annual week's outing at his t expense. This is a new idea, and is greatly appreciated by Mr. Bunting's employes. Industrial Notes. The report that H. J. Heinz 1$. Co. 'had se cured the Summer Glass Wrks Is denied by that firm. Onck again the Huntingdon Car Works have been shut down and 300 men are out of employment. It is believed that this clos ing is final. The Southwest Coal and Coke Company have let the contract to John Barclay, of Greensburg, for the laying of the water mains from Mt. Pleasant to Tarrs. The Belmont Glass Works has sold off all tbe ware that was in the factory. This is the first time in.26 years that the factory has been without a piece of tableware. The work of repairing the locks and dams on the Monongahela river will be "com menced by the Monongahela Navigation Company as soon as the' liver falls suffi ciently. The Gondola Tanin Works will commence operations on Monday. About 100 men will bo employed In and about the works. The works are for preparing a preparation for tanning purposes and will prove a good ad dition to the business Industry of Jeannette. The West Virginia Central Bailroad Com any, which is, by its charter, allowed to do almost anything that is not nonconforming with the Constitution of the State, has bought land valued at $35,000 In Logan county, and will lay out a town and build a blast lurnace and other iron works. AWAITING THE DEED. When Mrs. Schenley's Gift-Papers Arrive ,the Newsboys' New Home Will Be Rapidly Got Under Way Arrangements Have Been Already Discussed. "When the Board of Managers of the Newsboys' Home meets July 7, it will be to take definite steps regarding the erection ot the new asylum for the newsvenders, boot blacks and indigent boys of the city. The deed of gift of the necessary plot of ground which is located nearly opposite the pres ent quarters on Old avenue is confidently expected to have arrived by then. The ar rangements are Baid to have been com pleted, and when Mrs. Schenley amies her signature to the deed and returns it across the water the work of erection will be at once undertaken. The funds for the purpose already sub scribed are regarded as ample, to build a 'structure adequate to its uses. C. L. Magee's donation of 510,000, the plot of ground at Charleroi donated with the view of assisting the fund and worth about 81,000, and the State appropriations of $10,000 in two annual payments, added to private contributions already raised, assure the un dertaking success as far as money goes. In addition, many citizens have offered sub stantial assistance toward completing the building,, one offering to it out the kitchen, another to do the plumbing work, another to erect an iron railing around the inclsonre, &c Several architects have declared their willingness to draw the plan without charge, but the sense of the board is that they should be naid for. The building will be adequate to the use oi 3uu or 4uu dovb. a leature ot it will be a large playground where the boys can tum ble about to their heart's content; for the managers' belief is that the character of the boys who will use the building must be con sidered, and none of these will much care "to becooped up and petted. The course of training in vogue notf under the Superin tendent and the two teachers will be en larged in the new quarters. Mr. Allan C. Kerr, discussing the mat ter yesterday, said that one of the objects of the course of training proposed to be adopted will be to wean the boys from the street life and make them capable of competing for employment with boys who are better favored by circumstances. Plans in this direction had been already thought out, he said, and general arrangements fori proceeding with the work of construction . were matured, Dut so many disappointments regarding the ground had already occurred that nothing would be done until the deed of gift was in the hands of the board. Mr. Kerr can see no difficulty regarding the means for sustaining the institution when established. Two thousand dollars yearly can be depended upon from citizens who have promised their support. The boys, from between 30 and 40 of whom habitually use the home, contribute about S20O monthly in navment for their Wtnno- and' boarding, charged at 51 75 per week, and,! any aacuuonai sum required ne tninis could be easily raised. It was suggested to Mr. Kerr hat by furnishing the boys with a .distinctive badge, a feeling of responsibil ity and usefulness would be engendered in tthem and might tend to an esnrit de corns r which would have a beneficial result.

He spent 10 minutes in raising Central, and when the operator at length answered the stranger was in a red heat! He told the operator what he thoueht tdS him, in a few choice terms, and might nave connnuea inaenniieiv 11 uenir&i iuui not shut Eim off. ( Then he hung np the re ceiver and was walking out in high dudgeon when John accosted him: "What were von I trying to do there?" he inquired, in b high ujuu ury lone. "I wanted to get my office." "Now, isn't that a nice thing you've gone and done, talking to the man in that way?" John proceeded. The stranger apologized if he was rather hasty. ' "They'll come down here, now, and take the telephone from me for the language you used, we all heard it. That's a nice trick to play on a man." The stranger expressed great regret and said he would see about it "I only wanted my own telephone," he explained. "Oh, your telephone, is it?" said John; "and do you think the telephone company has nothing to do but to send your tele phone around after you? Oh, go away with you!" and the strange wqnt away, not knowing whether John was poking fun at him or in dead earnest. Thornton Bros., Allegheny.

Jenks said last night that his New York agent had telegraphed him that'he was about to sign Miss Coghlan. This would insure a remarkably fine cast, seeing that Joseph Haworth, "William Mul doon, the athlete, and some other well known people are already engaged. It was proposed to give the play on the Kenmawr Hotel lawn on July 16, but it will probably be a later date. The expense of such a novel production will be very great and it is desirable, Mr. Jenks thinks, that the public should be thoroughly in formed of its 'peculiar attractions. It would be an exceedingly welcome event in the midsummer desert. Such Bargains In jewelry, silverware, bronzes, etc., were never heard of before in Pittsburg.

Its Wonderful Power as an Agent for thedire of Disease FROM SCIENTIFIC MEN Of Unquestionable Qualifications, Skill and Experience. OPPORTUNITY FOR PITTSBURG PEOPLE To Avail Themselves of the New TherapeuHo Agent In the Hands of Thor oughly Skillful 3Ien. SOME FIATN STATEMENTS OF TACT In Introducing the physicians of THE ELECTEOPATHIC INSTITUTE to -the pub lic of Pittsburg, no wild promises or high sounding words will be used. With an intel ligent and discriminating people, such as wo nave to deal with, the simple, straightfor ward statement of facts will amply serve to show the benefits which tho sick and diseasedjof this region are to receive from the location of these gentlemen here. K In the first place, the physicians of. THE ELECTEOPATHIC INSTITUTE are regu larly trained, regularly educated doctors, graduates of the best medical colleges in tha country, who have since their graduation devoted themselves eatlrely to those new and modern discoveries In medicine and surgery which have developed the wonder ful curative 'powers of electricity. They are scientific men of scientific-training andassoclatlon, recognized in the pro fession as. electrical scientists, who have done valuable sorrico in perfecting and dis covering electrical methods and appliances. They propose to do sufficient advertising to demonstrate to the profession and the pub lic of Pittsburg thervnlue andpower of these comparatively msw Aim woiroxRvuiv agents in the cure of disease. Electricity as a simple forco'has longbeen known to the world, and while its nature and its uses have been largely developed by its varied applications, yet its use as a thera peutical agent is recent, and has been greatly emoarassed and-obstructed: first, by the ignorance of those nslng it, as to tha relations that electricity sustains to the nor mal forces of the body; and, secondly, by the imperfection of the instruments con structed to produce It, failing in adaptation to this special purpose. And finally, by the ignorance of manipulators, i Much that is wonderful In tho discoveries relating to tbe application or electricity to The cure of disease has reached the ears of the public through the current and secular press. Depending upon this many ignorant and untrained men who are not doctors In the first, and have not the most shadowy claim to being specialists or scientists in the second place have advertised them selves to thetrablicas Eleotrical Healers. Electrical Physicians and Electrical Instl-. tutes, seeking by this method or ntrosTusa To make money out of that genuine and wonderful department .of Therapeutics, of tne real emcacy ana applications oi wnien they are as Ignorant as a child might be of the mechanism of thS'Corllss engine. Eor the present we will simply state that through tne physicians" of the Electropatbio Institute, the profession and the public are to have the benefits of the scientific appli cation of-the new therapeutical agent. These gentlemen recognize its limitations and are not placing It before the public as a cure all. Its wonderful pq,wer within the limits in which they have by practical test and experience as well as by scientific de duction established its value, will be set forth no more. In other words, the physicians of tha Electropatbio Institute, will give their electrical treatment for Just such diseases and to just such class of patients as tfiey have found it effective within the naat. r They confine their experiments to their jaooratones. 'xney DO NOT EXPERIMENT in their practice. The diseases that theyv wiu treat vy electricity in jrittBDurg- are DISEASES THAT THET HAVE CUBED by electricity time and again diseases over, which the power of electricity, as a curative agent, has been abundantly and unquestion ably established in their own practice and under their own observation. Their theories and methods they hold in common with such men as Wagner, lam broso and Matteinlwith Corning and Rey nolds, Cogney of London ahd Gartner, of Vienna, with these and other scientists of tho modern school they find electricity potent as an agent in maladies of the skin and mucus membranes, in diseases of the nerves and the blood. It comes. In Its new power as a revelation to the der matologist, the rhlnologlst, the laryngplist and the gynecologist. Its wonderful effects UPON THE NUTRITION IN CASES OF CONSUMPTION and wasted vitality, its marvelous jjower for STIMULATING NERVE AND MUSCLE, for reaching the tissues and fluids of tho body, RELIEVING PAIN, DESTKOXiHU UJEKMS AND MODI FYING MORBID PROCESSES, these are not the conclusions of theory, but the demon strations of their own practice aud experi ence. Scientific men, of genuine qualifications and credentials of extended experience and practice, administering this new and won derful agent in the cure of disease this is the benefit that the people of Pittsburg re ceive from the establishment ot the Electro- pathic Institute. The physicians In charge of this Institute receive and successfully treat .all patients suffering from chronic ailments: HEBVOUS DISEASES, BLOOD DISEASES, ' BHETOCATISir, paralysis, neuralgia, scrofula and catazhh, aiso diseases oi tne xy e mm xjir.
