"V. - v - '"fi -u.
Toward the end of 1811, at a memorable
period for Russians, lived on his own do
main of Xenaradova the kind-hearted Gavril
It. He was eclcbratedin the -whole district
for his hospitality and his cenial character.
Neighbors constantly visited him to have
something to cat and drink and to play at
five-copeck boston with his wife, Praskovia.
Some, too, went to have a look at their
daughter, Maria, a tall, pale girl of 17.
She was an heiress, and thev desired her
either for themselves or for their sous.
31aria had been brought up on French
novels, and consequently was in love. The
object of her affection was a poor ensign in
the army, who was now at home in his small
village on leave of absence. As a matter of
course, the youn? man reciprocated Maria's
passion. But the parents of his beloved,
noticing their mutual attachment, forbade
their daughter even to think of him, while
they received him worse than an ex-assize
judge.
Our lovers corresponded, and met alone
daily in the pine wood or by the old road
way" chapel. There they vowed everlasting
love, inveighed against fate, and exchanged
various suggestions. Writing and talking
ia this way, they quite naturally reached
the following conclusion:
If -we cannot exist apart from each other,
and if the tyrannv of "hard-hearted parents
throws obstacles in the way of our happi
ness, then can we not mauage without
them?
Of course this happy idea originated in
the mind of the young man, but :t pleased
immensely the romantic imagination of
Maria.
"Winter set iu and put a stop to their
meeting. But their correspondence be-,
came ail the more active. Vladimir begged
Maria in every letter to give herself up to
him that thev misrht get married secretly,
hide for awhile, and tlun throw themselves
at the feet of their parents, who would, of
course, in the end be touched by their
heroic constancy and say to them, "Chil
dren, come to our arms!"
Maria hesitated a long while, and out of
many different plans proposed that of flight
was for a time rejected. At last, however,
she consented. On the appointed day she
was to deeliue supper and retire to her
room under the plea of headache. She and
her maid, who was in the secret, were then
Jo go out into the garden by the back
stairs, and beyond the jrarden they would
find a sledge ready for them, would get
into it and drive "a distance of five miles
from Xenaradova to the village of Jadrino,
straight to the church, where Vladimir
ivoufd be waiting for them.
On the eve of the decisive day Maria did
not sleep all night; she was packing and
tying up linen and dresses. She wrote,
moreover, a long letter to a friend of hers,
a sentimental young lady, and another to
her parents. Of the latter she took leave
in the uiost touching terms. She excused
the step she was taking by reason ot the un
conquerable power of love, and wound up by
declaring that she should consider it the
happiest moment of her life when she was
allowed to throw herself at the feet of her
dearest parents. Sealing both letters with
a Toula seal, on which w ere engraven two
ilaming hearts with an appropriate inscrip
tion, she at last threw herselt upon her bed
before daybreak, and dozed off, though even
then she was awakened from one moment
to another by terrible thoughts. First it
seemed to her that at the moment of enter
ing the sledse in order to go and get mar
ried, her father stopped her, and with cruel
rapidity dragged her over the snow, and
threw her into a dark, bottomless cellar
down which the fell headlong with an in
describable sinking of the heart. Then she
saw Vladimir lying on the grass, pale and
bleeding, while' with his dying breath he im
plored her to make haste and marry him.
Other hideous and senseless visions floated
before her one after another. JTnally she
rose paler than usual, and with a real head
ache. Both her father and her mother remarked
her indisposition. Their tender anxiety and
constant inquiries, "What is the matter
with you, Masha are you ill?" cut her to
the heart. She tried to pacify them and to
appear cheerful, but she could not. Evening
set in. The idea that she was passing the
day for the last time in the midst of her
laniily oppressed her. In her secret heart
she took leave of everybody, of everything
which surrounded her.
Supper was served; her heart beat
violently. In a trembling voice she declared
that she did not want any supper, and
wished her father and mother good night.
They kissed her, and as usual blessed her;
and she nearly wept.
Beaching her own room, she threw herself
into an easy chair and burst into tears. Her
maid begged her to be calm and take
courage. .Everything was ready. In half
an hour Masha would leave forever her
Darcnts" home, her own room, her peaceful
life as a young girL
Out of doors the snow was falling, the
wind howling. The shutters rattled and
shook. In everything she seemed to recog
nize omens and threats.
Soon the whole home was quiet and asleep.
Masha wrapped herself in a shawl, put on a
warm cloak, and with a box in her hand
passed out to the back staircase. The
maid carried two bundles after her. They
descended into the garden. The snowstorm
ragedj a strong wind blew against them, as
if trying to slop the young cilprit. With
difficulty they reached the end of the gar
den. In the road a sledge awaited them.
The horses, from cold, would not stand
stilL Vladimir's coachman was walking to
and fro iu front of them, trying to quiet
them. He helped the young lady and her
maid to their seats, and packing "away the
bundles and dressiugcase, took up the reins,
and the horses ilew forward into the dark
ness of the night.
Having intrusted the young lady to the
care of late and of Tcreshka, the coachman,
let us return to the young lover.
Vladimir had spent the whole day in driv
ing. In the morning he had called on the
Jadrino priest, and with difficulty came to
terms with him. Then he went to seek the
witnesses from among the neighboring gen
try. The first on whom he called was a
foimer cornet of horse, Dravin by name, a
man in his forties, who consented at once.
The adventure, he declared, reminded" him
of old times and of his larks when he was
in the Hussars. He persuaded Vladimir to
stop to dinner with him. assuring .him that
there would be no difficulty in getting the
other two witnesses. Indeed, immediately
after dinner in came the surveyor, Schmidt,
with a mustache and spurs, and the son of a
captain-magistrate, a boy of 10, who had rc
cutly entered the Uhlans. They not only
accepted Vladimir's proposal, but even
snore that they were ready to sacrifice their
lives for him. Vladimir embraced them
with delight and drove off to get everything
ready.
Jt had long been dark. Vladimir dis
patched his trustworthy Tereshka to Xcnar
adova w-ith his two-horsed sledge, and with
appropriate instructions for the occasion.
For himself he ordered the small sledge with
one horse and started alone without a coach
man for Jadrino, w here Maria ought to ar
rive in a couple of hours. He knew the
road, and the drive would only occupy 20
minutes.
But Vladimir had scarcely passed from
the inclosurc into the open field when the
wind rose, and soon there was a driving
snowstorm so heavy and so severe that he
could not see. In a moment the road was
covered with snow. All landmarks disap
peared in the murky yellow darkness,
through which fell white flakes of snow.
Skv and earth became merged into one.
Vladimir, in the midst of the field, tried in
vain to get to the road. The horse walked
on at random, and every moment stepped
cither into deep snow or into a rut, so that
the sledge was constantly upsetting. Vladi
mir tried at least not to lose the right direction
but it seemed to him that more than half an
hour had passed, and he had not yet reached
the Jadrino wood. Another ten minutes
passed, and still the wood was invisible.
Vladimir drove across fields intersected by
deep ditches. The snowstorm did not
abate and the sky did not clear. The horse
was getting tired and the perspiration

SNb- P LJlj
rolled from him like hail, in spite of the
fact that every moment his legs were disap
pearing in the snow.
At last Vladimir found that he was going
in the wrong direction. He stopped, began
to reflect, recollect and consider, till at last
he became convinced that he ought to have
turned to th right. He did so now. His
horse could scarcely drag along. But he
had been more than an hour on the road
and Jadrino could not now be far. He
drove and drove, but there was no getting
out of the field. Still snowdrifts and
ditches. Even moment the sledge was
upset, and every moment Vladimir had to
raise it up.
Time was slipping by, and Vladimir grew
seriously anxious. At last in the distance
some dark object could be seen.
Vladimir turned in its direction, and as
he drew near found it was a wood.
"Thank heaven!" he thought, "I am now
near the end."
He drove by the side of the wood, hoping
to come at once upon the familiar road, or,
if not, to pass round the wood. Jadrino
was situated immediately behind it.
He soon found the road, and passed into
the darkness of the wood, now stripped by
the winter. The wind could not rage here;
the road was smooth, the horse picked up
courage, and Vladimir was comforted.
Helrove and drove, but still Jadrino was
not to be seen; there was no end to the
wood. Then, to his horror, he discovered
that he had got into a strange wood. He
was in despair. He whipped his horse, and
the poor animal started off on a trot. But
it soon got tired, and in a quarter of an
hour, in spite of all poor Vladimir's efforts,
could onlv crawl.
Gradually the trees became thinner and
Vladimir drove out of the wood, but Jad
rino was not to be seen. Ifmust have been
about midnight. Tears gushed from the
young man's eyes. He drove on at random,
and now the weather abated, the clouds dis
persed, and before him was a wide stretch of
plain, covered with a white, billowy carpet.
The night was comparatively clear, and he
could see a small village a short distance off,
which consisted of four or five cottages.
Vladimir drove toward it. At the first door
he jumped out of the sledge, ran up to the'
window and tapped.
After a few minutes a wooden shutter
was raised, aud an old man stuck out his
gray beard.
'"Whaf do you want?"
"How far is Jadrino?"
"How far is Jadrino?"
"Ye, yes. Is it, far?"
"Xot far; about ten miles?"
At this answer Vladimir clutched hold of
his hair and stood motionless, like a man
condemned to death.
"Where do you come from?" added the
man. Vladimir had not the courage to re
ply. "My man," he said, "can you procure me
horses to Jadrino?"
."We have no horses," answered the peas
ant. "Could I find a guide? I will pay him
any sum he likes."
"Stop," said the old man, dropping the
shutter; "I will send my son out to you; he
will conduct you."
Vladimir waited. Scarcely a minute had
passed when he again knocked. The shutter
was lifted and a beard was seen.
"What do you want?"
"What about your son?"
"He'll come out directly; he is putting
on his boots. Are you cold? Come in and
warm yourself."
"Thanks; send out your son quickly."
The gate creaked; a youth came out with
a cudgel, and walked "on in front, at one
time pointing out the road, at another
looking for it in a mass of drifted snow.
"What o'clock is it?" Vladimir asked
him.
"It will soon be daylight." replied the
young peasaut. Vladimir spoke not another
word.
The cocks were crowing and it was light
when thev reached Jadrino. The church
was closed. Vladimir paid the guide, and
drove into the yard of the priest's house.
In the yard his two-horse sledge was not to
be seen. What news awaited him!
But let us return to the kind proprietors
of Kenaradova, and ece what is going on
there.
ifothing.
The old people awoke and went into the
sitting room, Gavril in a nightcap and
flannel jacket, Praskovia in a wadded dress
ing gown. The samovar was brought in,
and Gavril sent the little maid to ask Mnria
how she was and how she had slept. The
little maid returned, saying that her young
ladvhad slept badly,but that she was better
now, and tnat she would come into the
sitting room in a moment. And indeed the
door opened and Maria came in and wished
her papa and mamma good morning.
"How is your headache, Masha? ' (famil
iar for Mary) inquired Gavril.
"Better, papa, answered Masha.
"The fumes lrom the stoves must have
given you your headache, remarked Pras
kovia. "Perhaps so, mamma,'' replied Masha.
The day passed well enough, but in the
night Masha was takcnill. Adoctorwassent
for from town. He came toward evening
and found the patient delirious. Soon she
was iu a severe fever, and in a fortnight
the poor patient was on the brink of the
grave.
No member of'the family knew anything
of the flight from home. The letters writ
ten bv Masha the evening before had been
burnt, and the maid, tearing the wrath of
the master and mistress, had not breathed a
word. The priest, the ex-cornet, the big
mustached surveyor, and the little lancer
were equally discreet, and with good rea
son. Tereshka, the coachman, never said
too much, not even in his drink. Thus the
secret was kept better than it might have
been bv half a dozen conspirators.
But Maria herself, in the course of her
long fever, let out her secret. Xeverthc
less, her words were so disconnected that
her mother, who never left her bedside,
could only make out from them that her
daughter was desperately in love with Vlad
imir, and that probably love was the cause
of her illness. She consulted her husband
and some of her neighbors, and at last it
was decidedly unanimously that the fate of
Maria ought "not to be interfered with, that
a woman must not ride away from the man
she is destined to marry, that poverty is no
crime, that a woman has to live not with
money but with a man, and so on. Moral
proverbs are wonderfully useful on such
occasions, when we can invent little or
nothing in our own justification.
Meanwhile the young lady began to re
cover. Vladimir had not been seen for a
long time in the house of Gavril,. so fright
ened had he been by his previous reception.
It was now resolved to send and announce
to him the good news which he could
scarcely expect the consent of her parents
to his marriage with Maria.
But what was the astonishment of the
proprietors of Kenaradova when in answer
to their invitation they received an insane
reply. Vladimir info'rmed them he could
never set foot in their house, and begged
them to forget an unhappy man whose only
hope now was in death. A few davs after
ward they heard that Vladimir had left the
place anil joined the armv.
A long time passed before they ventured
to tell Masha, who was now recovering. She
never mentioned Vladimir. Some months
later, however, finding his name in the list
of those who had distinguished themselves
and been severely wounded at Borodino,
she fainted, and it was feared that the fever
might return. But, heaven be thanked!
the fainting fit had no bad results.
Maria experienced yet another sorrow.
Her father died, leaving her the heiress of
all his property. But the inheritance could
not console her. She shared sincerely the
affliction of her mother, and vowed she
would never leave her.
Suitors clustcied round the charming
heiress; but she gave no one the slightest
hope. Her mother sometimes tried to per
suade her to choose a companion in life; but
Maria shook her head ana grew pensive.
Vladimir no longer existed. He had died
at Moscow on the eve of the arrival of the
French. His memory was held sacred by
Maria, and she treasured up everything
that would remind her of him; books he had
read, drawings which he had made; songs he
had sung, and the pieces of poetry which he
had copied out for her.
The neighbors, hearing all this, wondered
at her fidelitv, and awaited with curiosity
the arrival of the hero who must in the end
triumph over the melancholy constancy of
this virgin Artemis.
Meanwhile, the war has been brought tJ
a glorious conclusion, and our armies were
returning from abroad. The people ran to
meet them. The music played by the regi
mental bands consisted of war songs, "Vive
Henri-Quatre," Tyrolese waltzes and airs
from "Joconde." .Nourished on the atmos
phere of winter, officers who had started on
the campaign mere striplings returned
grown men and covered with decorations.
The soldiers conversed gaily amonc them
selves, mingling German ana French words-:
every moment in their speech. A time
never to be forgotten a time of glory and
delight! How quickly beat the Itussian
heart at the words, ".Native land!" How
sweet the tears of meeting! With what
unanimity did we combine feelings of na
tional pride w ith love for the Tsar! And
for him, what a moment!
The women our Itussian women were
splendid then. Their usual coldness dis
appeared. Their delight was really intoxi
cating when, meeting the conquerors, they
cried "Hurrah!" And they threw up their
caps in the air.
Who of the officers of that period does not
own that to the Ilussian women he was in
debted for his best and most valued reward?
During this brilliant period Maria was
living with her mother in retirement, and
neither of them saw how, in both capitals,
the returning troops were welcomed. But
in the districts and villages the general en
thusiasm was, perhaps, even greater.
In these places the appearance of an officer
became for him a veritable triumph. The
accepted lover in plain clothes fared badly
by his side.
We have already said that, in spite of her
coldness, Maria was still, as before, sur
rounded by suitors. But all had to fall in
the rear when there arrived at his castle the
wounded young Captain of Hussars Bour
min by name with the order of St. George
in his button-hole, and an interesting pallor
on Iiis face. He was about 26. He had
come on leave to his estates, which were
close to Maria's villa. Maria paid him such
attention as none of the others received. In
his presence her habitual gloom disap
peared. It could not be said that she flirted
with him. But a poet, observing her be
havior, might have asked, "S' amor non e,
che dunquc?"
Bourmiu was really a very agreeable
young man. He possessed just the kind of
sense that pleased women; n sense of what
is suitable and becoming. He had no affec
tation, and was carelessly satirical. His
manner toward Maria was simple and easy.
He seemed to be of a quiet and modest dis
position; but rumor said that ho had at one
time been terribly wild.- 'This, however,
did not hirm him in the opinion of Maria,
who (like all other voting ladies) excused
with pleisare vagaries which were the re
sult of impulsiveness and daring.
But above all more than his love-making,
more than his pleasant talk, more than
his interesting pallor, more even than his
bandaged arm the silence of the young
Hussar excited her curiosity aud hcrimag
ination. She could not help confessing to
herself that he pleased her very much.
Probably he, too, with his acuteness and his
experience, had seen that he interested her.
How was it. then, that up to this moment
she had not seen him nt her feet; had not
received from him any declaration what
ever? And wherefore did she not encour
age him with more attention, and, according
to circumstances, even with tenderness?
Had she a secret of her own which would
acconnt for her behavior?
At last, Bourmin fell into such deep med
itation, and his black eyes rested with, such
fire upon Maria, that the decisive moment
seemed verynear. The neighbors spoke of
the marriage as an accomplished fact, and
kind Praskovia rejoiced that at last her
daughter had found for herself a worthy
mate.
The lady was sitting alone once in the
drawing room, laying out grande-patience,
when Bourmin entered the room, and at
once inquired for Maria.
"She is in the garden," replied the old
lady; "go to her, and I will wait for you
here." Bourmin went, and the old lady
made the sign of the cross and thought,
"Perhaps the affair will he settled to-dayl"
Bourmin found Maria in the ivy-bower
beside the pond, with a book in her hands,
and wearing a white dress a veritable
heroine of romance. After the first in
quiries, Maria purposely let the conversa
tion drop; increasing by these means the
mutual embarrassment, "from which it was
only possible to escape by means of a suddea
and positive declaration.
It haDnened thus: Bourmin. feeling tlii
awkwardness of his position, informed
Maria that he had long sought an oppor
tunitv of opening his heart to her, and that
he begged lor a moment's attention. Maria
tlosed the book and lowered her eyes, as a
sign that she was listening.
"I love you," said Bourmin, "I love you
passionately!" Maria blushed, and bent
her head still lower.
"I have behaved imprudently, yielding,
as 1 have done, to the seductive pleasure of
seeing and hearing you daily." Maria rec
ollected the first letter of St. Preux in "La
Uouvelle Heloise." "It is too late now to
resist my fate. The remembrance of vou,
your dear incomparable image, must from
to-day be at once the torment and consola
tion of my existence. I have now a grave
duty to "perform, a terrible secret to dis
close, which will place between us an insur
mountable barrier."
"It has always existed!" interrupted
Maria; "I could never have been your
wile."
"I know," he replied quickly; "I know
that you once loved. But death and three
years of mourning may have worked some
change. Dear, kind Maria, do not try to
deprive me of my last consolation; the idea
that you might have consented to make me
happy if Don't speak, for God's sake
don t speak you torture me. Yes, I know,
I feel that you could have been mine, but
I am the most miserable of beings I am
alreadv married !" '
Maria looked at him in astonishment.
"I am married," continued Bourmin; "I
have been married more than three years,
and do not know who my wife is, or where
she is, or whether I shall ever see her
again."
"What are you saying?" exclaimed
Maria; "how strange i Pray continue."
"In the beginning of 1812," said Bour
min, "I was hurrying on to Wilna; where
my regiment was stationed. Arriving one
evening late at a station, I ordered tho
horses to he got ready quickly, when sud
denly a fearful snowstorm brolce out. Both
station master and drivers advised me to
wait till it was over. I listened to their
advice, but an unaccountable restlessness
took possession of me, just as though some
one was pushing me on. Meanwhile the
snowstorm did not abate. I could bear it
no longer and again ordered the horses and
started in tho midst of the storm. The
driver took it into his head to fliive along
the river, which would shorten the distance
by three miles. Tho banks were covered
w'ith snowdrifts; the driver missed the turn
ing which would have brought us out on to
the road, and we turned up in an unknown
place. The storm never ceased. I could
discern a light, and told the driver to make
for it. We entered a village, and found
that tho light proceeded iroru a wooden
church. The church was open. Qutside
the railings stood several sledges, and
people were passing in and out throngh the
porch.
" 'Here! here!' cried several voices. I
told the coachman to drive up.
" 'Where have you dawdled?' said some
one to me. 'The bride has fainted; the
priest does not know what to do; we were
on the point of going back. Make haste
and get out!'
"I got out of the sledge in silence, and
stepped into the church, which was dimly
lighted with two or three tapers. A girl
was sitting in a dark corner on a bench;
another girl was rubbing her temples.
'Thank God,' said the latter, 'you have
come at last! You have nearly been the
death of the young lady.'
"The old priest approached me, saying:
" 'Shall I begin?'
" 'Begin begin, reverend father,' I re
plied, absently.
"The young lady was raised up. T
thought her rather pretty. Oh, wild, un-
Eardonable frivolity! I placed myself by
er side at the altar. The priest hurried on.
"Three men and the maid supported the
bride, and occupied themselves with her
alone. We wero married!
" 'Kiss your wife,' said the priest.
"My wife turned her paleface toward me.
I was going to kiss her, when she exclaimed,
'Oh! it is not he not he!' and fell back in
sensible. "The witnesses stared at me. I turned
round and left the church without any at
tempt being made to stop me, threw myself
into the sledge, and cried, 'Away!' "
"What!" exclaimed Maria. " "And you
don't know what became of your unhappy
wife?"
"I do not," replied Bourmin; "neither do
I know the name of the village where I was
married, nor that of the station from which
I started. At that time I thought so little
of my wicked joke that, on driving away
from" tho church, I fell asleep, and never
woke till early next morning, after reaching
the third station. The bervant who was
with me died during the campaign, so that
I now have no hope of ever discovering the
unhappy woman on whpm I played such a
cruel trick, and who is now so cruelly
avenged."
"Great heavens!" cried Maria, seizing his
hand. "Then it was you, and you do not
recognize me?"
Bonrmin turned pale and threw himself
at her feet. JVwn Vic Russian of Alexander

ant, will be devoted to sightseeing iu the
city. Thursday evening the banquet will
beheld, and Friday will be given up to a
pleasure excursion.
A large portion of the work of each con
vention is laid out nearly a year in advance.
Certain members are appointed as special
committees, to investigate certain matters
and prepare special papers embracing the
conclusions reached. Among the well di
gested papers which will be presented at
the Pittbburg convention will be the fol
lowing reports:
"A Perfect Electric Motor," by H. A Ev
erett . Seorotary of tho East Cleveland Rail
road Company, Cleveland, O.
"A Year's Progress of Cable Motive
Power," by J. C. Robinson, formerly Vice
President ot tne .los Angeies usiuie uom
panv, Los Angeles, Cal.
"Public and State Treatment of Corpora
tions," by G. Hilton Scribner, President Cen
tral Park, North and East River Railroad
Company, New York.
"The Dependent Overhcador Underground
svstein of Electric Motor Power," by George
W. Mansfield, of tho Attleboro, North Attle
boro and Wentram Street Railway Company,
of Attleboro, Mass.
"Tho Independent Stoiago or Primary
Battery System, by Knight Xeftel, Elec
tiician, Lancaster Street Railway Company,
Lancaster, Pa.
Special papers are likewise presented in
the convention, after inspection by the Ex
ecutive Committee to determine whether
they are of sufficient merit to be worthy of
the" time of the convention, as well as to
make certain that they are not disguised
advertisements of some device or system
seeking indorsement. After each paper is
read it is discussed fully and freely by the
members who differ from the conclusions
reached, or who have some further informa
tion on the topic under consideration.
IMPORTANCE OF RAPID TRANSIT.
In this age of evolution from horse power
to more rapid forms of transit, with all the
problems which the change in motive power
brings up, these discussions are of great
value to the members.
Among the matters which will be consid
ered at the Pittsburg Convention will be
the relative merits of cable and electric
power in street railroading, expedients for
reducing operating expenses and increasing
the traffic, the construction of power houses
and the safeguards against fire, breakdowns
and other accidents; the prospects and pos
sibilities of the storage battery and conduit
electric cable, the use of street cars as col
lectors and carriers of the mails, labor
troubles, employes' savings and loan asso
ciations, devices to make conductors honest,
and 100 other matters pertaining to power
stations, cars, tracks, employes, etc.
These conventions usually bring to the
city where they arc held a large number of
manufacturers and dealers in street railway
supplies, who are quick to perceive the ad
vantages of meeting several hundred practi
cal street railway men from all parts of the
country, away from home in quest of infor
mation. Pittsburg will have its full quota
of visitors of this class. Already all the
ground-floor rooms and second-floor parlors
not absolutely needed at the Monongahela
for.cntertainment of the guests of the house,
have been engaged by the leading manufact
urers of electric motors, cars, registers, and
bell punches, street car heaters, etc., while
for the great body of manufacturers for
whom there are no accommodations in the
hotel, other provisions have been made.
THE LOCAL COMMITTEE AT 'WORK.
The work of preparing for tho convention
has been delegated by the Pittsburg Street
Bailway Companies to a committee consist
ing of Messrs. John G. Holmes, of the Citi
zens' Traction Company, Chairman; George
Bice, of the Duquesuc Traction Company;
D. F. Henry, of the Pleasant Valley Pas
senger Bailway Company; J. D. Callery, of
the Second Avenue Bailway Compauy;
John H. Dalzell, of the Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester Traction Company; Murray
Verner, of the Pittsburg and Birmingham
Traction Company, and J. E. Itiigg, of the
Citizens' Traction Company. This com
mittee has chartered for the convention
week the large excursion barge, J. M.
Gusky, which will be moored to the
wharf on the river side of the hotel, as
a place for the exhibition of supplies. Ban
ners and bunting by day, and electric lights
by night, will make the floating exposition
the most attractive feature in the river'land
scapc. Across the wharf from the hotel to
the boat, a walk of some kind will be laid,
thus giving case of access to this feature of
the convention. Among the interesting
things which will be shown on this boat,
will be steel rails of every-pattern, electric
motors,- switch boards, high-speed engines,
cable machinery, brakes, tare boxes, cables,
car seats, car licatcrs, guard gates, safety
steps, car lamps, trolleys, alarm bells, floor
mats, track cleaners, and pattern models of a
myriad of devices.
TERTINENT LITERARY WORK.
The Committee of Arrangements is like
wise engaged in preparing a souvenir book
which will contain some very fine pictures
of Pittsburg scenery and institutions, views
on each of the street railway lines and a
digest of the street railway history of the
city, as well as some other pertinent literary
features.
The street railway freedom of the city will
be extended to the visitors in the form of a
package of special tickets, good on any line
or inclined raiiway, which will be given to
members as soon as they appear at the head
quarters. During the afternoon of the first day of
the convention the visitors will be shown
the power houses of some of the local com
panies, and will enjoy short trips over the
more attractive portions of the railway lines.
The third day the committee has planned
an excursion, which will include visits to
some of the great industrial plants In and
around the city.
The Street ItaUmiy Journal, of New York,
has arranged to issne a daily number, giv
ing a full report of each day's proceedings
of the convention.

C'opcland & Hall Will Give
Treatment anl Medicine for
$5 a Month.
The summer is the best time for the treat
ment and cure of catarrhal troubles. The
climatic conditions are then most favorable,
liability of catching fresh cold being then
reduced to the minimum, and the even tem
perature and the condition of the atmos
phere favoring the progress of the patient.
Drs. Copeland and Hall have decided to
treat all patients, old and new, applying to
them for treatment before September 1 at
the merely nominal rate of $5 a month, fur
nishing all medicines. This applies to pa
tients by mail as well as patients in the city.
It is to all patients, old as well as new, and
for all diseases. All patients taking treat
ment from Dfs. Copeland and Hall before
September 1 will be treated until cured at
the rate of S5 a month.
It should take from two to four months of
regular treatment to cure catarrh, commenc
ing at a favorable season of the year. Pa
tients troubled with catarrh tak'ing treat
ment under the above condition who are
not cured in that length of time will be
TREATED THEREAFTER. FREE until
they are cured.
EACH DAY BROUGHT TROUBLE.
An Oakland Citizen Who Suffered for Years
and Finally Sought and Found Relief.
"The way I suffered for years with scarce
ly any relief was terrible. Each day brought
its additional pain." The speaker was Mr.
John Davis, who lives on Wakefield street,
Oakland, Pittsburg. Continuing, he said:
"I suffered severely with headache and ex
treme dizziness. At times there was a
heavy feeling in mvhead that oppressed me.
This condition made me very melancholy.
"My nose would stop up and there was a
constant dropping of the mucus inmrthroat.
Mr. John Davis, Wakefield Street, Oakkmd.
"My nostrils became very sore; crusts
would collect in the nasal passage", and any
attempt to dislodge them would cause my
nose to bleed. The worst feature of all was
the offensive odor that resulted from my
head troubles. I had a bad taste in the
mouth and scarcely any appetjte. I ex
perienced a full or heavy feeling iu the
stomach, and this could not be eased until
after I had 'belched' up gas.
"I had severe pains, in the chest upon
coughing. Felt very tired in the morning
and my rest seemed to do me no good. I
MIGHT HAVE CONSUMPTION.
"After consulting with Drs. Copeland and
Hall and taking treatment, in this short
time my symptoms have all disappeared. I
.have nothing but words of praise for their
methods and for the gentlemanly and polite
way in which I was always received at their
offices."
