THE PnTSBURG' . DISPATCH,'" "TTJESDAT, " SEPTEMBER 15,-' : 1891
STILL NO POOR FARM
Fancy Figures on Unsuitable Tracts
of Land Again Pnt a Stop
to Councils' Plans.
CHIEF ELLIOT WILL GO IT ALONE.
Smoke Consumers to Be Used on the Loco
motives of the rittshnrg
Junction Railroad. x
rfilTlLEGES FOR THE WEST EXD ROAD.
Important Session of the Local legislators Testerday
ifltmora.
Councils met yesterday for the first time
after their summer vacation. The members
who had enjoyed several months' relaxation
from duty, flocked to City Hall in large
nmnbers and almost every seat was occu
pied. Clean walls, remodeled desks and
bright new covering on the floors made
quite a change in the appearance of things,
and some members had difficulty in finding
their seats.
The smoke nuisance came up in the shape
of a resolution to allow the Junction Kail
road to use bituminous coal with stokers on
its engines. The West End Street Railway
came up for permission to adopt electricity
as its motive power. A movement was also
set on foot to find out the feasibility of the
city operating its own electric light plant.
But the feature of the meeting was the
Poor Farm question. It had been expected
to have the whole matter settled but the ex
pectation failed and the city is just as far
from possessing its new poor farm as ever.
"Under the last ordinance passed Chief
Elliot, of the Department of Charities, Mas
authorized to receive bids, visit farms
offered and select the one best suited for
the city's use. His choice was to be ratified
or rejected by Councils.
REJECTED AM. THE POOK FAKMS.
In this report yesterday, presented first to
Select Council, he stated thnt none of the
13 forms offered were suitable and suggested
that lie he allowed to choose a farm without
the formality of receiving bids, Councils
having final action. Prior to acting on the
report Mr. Itcbcrtson moved that Chief
Elliot be heard on the matter. The Chief
then took the floor
'"The gi eat objections against all the farms
offered arc that thej are cither too hilly or
too small, nud not "worth the price nskod.
Jfone of the farm up the Monongahela are
possible, because they are either all steep
hillside, lit onlv for goat grazinp, or else aro
located on hiRh hills that would cost thou
sands of dollars to make accessible. I went
all over the farms, some of which I would
not take as a gift.
3lr. Warmca-tle I not tho general objec
tion to these farms tliat they have insufll
cient acreage?
Chief Elliot "So, it is not. If we could get
50 or 75 acre of bottom land and 123 or 130
iicres ot hill land tliat would be enough.
Mr. IVarmcastlc How much do you ex
pect to have to pay for snch land?
Chief Elliot That depends somewhat on
circumstances, but I do not Delieve tho city
would pay more than $300.
LOST inc BEST OrrOETTJJTITY.
Dr. Evans I would liko to ask Chief
1'lliot if he expected to get a 50-acre tract
of bottom land for $300 an acre, or'any thing
near it?
Chief Elliot Well, we ought to come near
It, but wehaio lost the best opportunities
now.
Dr. Evan Well, don't you think it a good
thlmr we did lose them?
Chief Elliot I can't say that I do. I don't
ppwt we w ill bo able to do much better.
lVople apparently think the city has barrels
oi inonw to throw uway, and they put on
fancy price-.
Chict Elliot's report was received and
tiled, and Mr. I'errv presented a resolution
nntliorlzing him to "elect a farm and submit
his choice to Councils, the contract not to
lie binding upon the city until Councils
ratify it ith an ordinance.
In Common Council this resolution met iomo
opposition, principally from Mr. O'Donnell,
whoaid it was contrary to law in not pro
viding forndveitising for proposals.
Mr. Ilighnm While this objection is more
or ler" in the rtaht. tlio resolution is never-thele-s
a nesirable one. Under it Chief
Elli'itcau go out quietly and probably secure
bettar prices on desirable property than ho
could through nn advertisement for pro-l.o-al.
And after -ecuring a proper farm
Mtc at a fair price he can secure nil option
on itnnd-a-k CminciN to ratify hN bargain.
If the) consider his recommendation a
proper one they w ill have to pass a special
ordinance providing for the purchase. There
is no law to pi event this, and tho city will
gain by it. Similar plans were followed in
the Scnenley and Highland 1'ark purchases
Mr. T.iggart also advocated the resolution
and Chict Elliot spoke a little himself. On
the vote the lesolntion was adopted with no
negatives except that of Mr. O'Donnell.
TO USE SMOKE CONSUMERS.
The .Tnnftion .Railroad Granted the Privi
lege of llnrnlng IMtumlnous Coal Pro
vided Stokers Are Pnt on the Engines
"Stay He rollowed t.v Others.
Mr. "Warmcastle in Select Council pre
sented a resolution on the smoke question
as follows:
Whereas, t'nderan ordinanco of the city
of Pittsburg, "An ordinance granting to the
Pittsburg Junction Railroad Company a
light of wny from the Monongahela river to
the Allegheny river, w ith a branch along
the Allegheny river," approved "November
30, 1SSL it is provided "that bituminous coal
shall not be used for fuel in locomotives of
said road, but that coke or other non-smoke
producing fuel shall be used.and councils
nerebv reserve the right to alter or modify
thls section so a- to require the use o"f
smoke consumers on said locomotives should
the same, in their judgment, be to the ad
vantage or the citj," etc, and
Whereas, it is believed that such a smoko
consumeror smoke preventer can be used
so as to allow the u&e of bituminous coal
without emitting smoko, therefore, he it
Itesolved, by the Select and Common
Councils of tho city of Pittsburg, that the
Pittsuurg Junction Railroad Company, and
Its successors, shall navo and are hereby
given the right to use bltuminoun coal upon
all locomotives running over tholrroad, pro
vided such smoke consumers or smoke pre
venters shall be used thereon as shall pre
vent the emission ot smoko or soot, and re
ceive the approval of the Department of
Public Safety.
Mr. Robertson suggested an amendment
compelling nil railroads in the citv to use
smoke consumers. Over on the hilltops on
the Southslde, he said, tho black smoke
came rolling up trom three or four railroads
in such quantities as to blacken everything,
killing vegetation and injuring the health of
the people. "o place in the city suffered
more lrom locomotive smoke than the
Southsldc.
Mr. Warmcastle declined to accept the
amendment, us his resolution related sim
ply to an ordinanco governing one road.
Hie 1 evolution passed in both branches.

EMEEGESCY EXPENDITURES.
Discussion Over Some Dills Not Properly
Contracted For.
Controller Morrow submitted to Select
Council several vouchers for expenditures,
amounting to several thousand dollars. In
small amounts, for purchases made in tho
various departments of the city govern
ment that had not been regularly adver
tised for. They could not be paid except by
a resolution of Councils. A resolution to
pav the bills was presented.
Mr. Warmoastlc I object to chiefs of de
partments contracting bills until author
ized to do so. While I will vote for the
resolution this time, 1 will oppose such
loose method of doing business in tho future.
There is no necessity for it.
Mr. Keating As. I understand it these bills
were nearlv nil incurred in emergencies.
For instance, on the' Schenlcy Park bridge
there was a small bill for extras that theap
propriation di 1 not cover but wnich was
necessary- The burning out of the Bureau
of Health on Seventh street caused other
purchases to be made. It was impossible to
CO through with the usual form of advertis
ing for them.
Both branches passed the resolution.
Figures on Electric Lighting.
The question of having the city operate its
own electric light plant took definite shapo
yesterday. In Select Council Mr. Perry of
fered a resolution stating that the city's con
tract for street electric lighting would ex
pire in six months, and requiring that the
Chief of Public Works report to Councils
within 30 days the total number of arc nnd
incandescent lights in use by the city and
tho annual cost of each light. Also to report
what would bo the probable cost of a plant
capable or supplying the city with electric
llsht: also report what tho cities of St. Louis,
Detroit. New York ajid Philadelphia pay per
year for electric light. Tho resolution was
adopted.
The Bond Ordinance Goes Back.
Mr. Mageo, from the Finance Committee,
presented tho ordinance in Common Coun
cil relative to submitting the question of an
increase of the city dctt to a vote of the
people. He said there had been some de
fects in the title and writing of the ordi
nance formerly prepared, and the Citj- At
torney thought a new bill should be offered.
There were no changes In tho provisions.
Tho ordinance was referred to tho Finance
Committee. It will probably be amended so
as to specify the tlmo and interest of the
bonds.
Notes From Council Booms.
In common The bill of the Philadelphia
Company for $23,002.28 for gas furnished tho
water works from tho time of tho expiration
of tho contract until coal was put in use,
was roferrod to a special committee on mo
tion of Mr. Wright. The Finance Committee
had approved the bill and Chairman Mageo
stated that If the city did not pay it soon the
costs of a suit at court would be added.
Controller Morrow reported the condition
of the sinking fund. Up to July 3. 18!U,
there have been furnished and deposited
with the Fidelity Title and Trust Company
securities amounting to $2,371,375 25. since
Jnlv 3, there have been purchased securities
amounting to $157,590, which have not yet
been deposited. The purchases to date az-
gregate $2,52S,S75 25 of which $457,500 was ob
tained this year. All tho securities are city
bonds.
A resolution transferrins $15,000 from the
public lighting fund to the park fund, was
passed in both branches.
A resolution authorizing the payment of
$25,000 to Sloan & McEllwaine on account of
the Grandvicw avenue wall, was aUo
adopted.
POSTPONED THE STOCK SALE.
Only S33 Per Share Was Bid for Chambers'
Jeannette Interests.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Deputy Sheriff Joe Marshall sang out that
ho would offer for sale 1,950 shares of stock
or tho Chambers & McKce Tlate Glass Com
pany, of Jeannette, at tho snit of Martha J.
Chambers. F. C. Knox promptly stepped up
and gave notice that the company would
enforce a lien it had on the stock against
the purchaser. J. S. Ferguson, who repre
sented Mrs. Chambers, started tho stock at
$10. S. U. Trent went $1 better, and from
that time until $25 w as reached the increase
of bids ranged fiom 25 cents to $2. O. D.
Thompson came in toward the last, and bid
after Trent ceased. Mr. Ferguson's last bid
of $33 a share failed to bring any response,
wheu be had the sale adjourned until to
morrow at 10 a. m.
The par-alnoof the stock is $100. Mr.
Ferguson said his reason lor stopping the
sale was to get some further information
regarding the claim which Mr. Knox made.
Mr. Knox afterward stated that his claim
would not exceed $10,000.

HASTINGS LAID OFF.
Chief Ehlers Will Suspend tho Market
Clerk This Horning.
ALLEGHENY FINANCES UNVEILED.
The Vehicle and Amusement License Books
Are Demanded.
HFJTBERS IUYE A VERY LIYELY FIGHT
Market Clerk Hastings, of Allegheny,
will be suspended to-day by Chief Ehlers,
pending the action of Councils on the
Auditing Committee's report. This is tho
result of the meeting of the Auditing Com
mittee last night, at which the report
of the sub-Auditing Committee was
received and recommended to Councils.
His report, which shows a shortage of
532,647 03 in Hasting's accounts, has al
ready been published, but Chairman Hen
ricks read a supplementary report at tho
sab-committee meeting yesterday morning
giving fuller details and figures, hut not
changing the total amount
The finding of the auditors for tho year
1890 was read in detail as an example of tho
methods pursued by the market clerk and
as a proof that money had been colleoted,
of which no return had been made to the
city.
For the month of January, 1890, the re
ceipt stubs show that $502 12 were collect
ed. Of this amouut 550 was reported as a
part of the February receipts, and remain
der, 5512 12, was never reported to the Con
troller. The April receipts were 5002 50,
and 5239 38 were reported as the entire
April receipts. The balance left, 5343 13,
was held over and added to 563 73 of the
Jlay receipts, the remainder of tho
money collected for May was car
ried over to the credit of June and
so reported, while the Juno receipts,
5394 17, were not reported at all. This sys
tem w as worked all through the year till
December, when, after making a report of
10,049 38, the market clerk still had a bal
ance unaccounted for of 5432 50. The
total of these receipts, which are for garden
truck alone, for the year was 56,337 55, and
the entire deficit for the year was 51,573 23.
HOW THE SHORTAGE IS CAUSED;
To further explain the manner in which
their work was done and to show that no
mistake was made, the supplementary re
port continues:
v iiegin wnn xue nrsi payment wo nnu on
each stall, and when rents have-not been paid after
thl beginning we have charged up such rent as dc
linonrnt. hut in no case have we made such charge
until the records show the stall was ecupled. For
example, tale stall No. 3. The records begin Oc
tober 1. 1S78. and we find this stall still occu
pied as may be seen by reference to the
chart, and has been occupied for the whole
Tear. AVe find no pavments on this stall from the
six months ending April I, 1832. to Jnlv 1. HOT.
making a total balance due on the stall of $.172. The
same tenant occupies another stall on which there
ii due JtM We find that the Clerk of Markets has
the atiove stalls marked paid up to Aprlll, 18S1,
which Indicates that either thr rents have been
paid and no record made, or else the rents have not
been collected. In anv case the money is due tho
cltr and should he paid.
Clerk Hastings nnd his attorney J. D.
Ramsey were present. Whon asked if ho
had any statement or explanation to make,
Mr. Hastings said that he had not taken any
of tho money himself, nor could he account
in any wav for the shortage. He said that
ho would like to have more time In which
to prcpnre a statement, and tbat
he had been denied aocess to
the books and documents which wore in the
hands of the auditors.
Dr. Gilliford said tbat he had written him
a letter inviting him to come to the Con
troller's office at any time and examine the
work of tho auditors. Bastings said that he
had misunderstood tho letter. Attorney
Bamscy requested permission to take
the books over to the market house and
make a careful examination of them,
bnt this was refused, Dr. Gilliford saying:
"You are at liberty to examine the books,
but thev must not be taken out of ,the
possession of the auditors. How do wo
know those books would not be consigned
to the garbage furnace as the others were."
BOXDSMEN' WILL BE SUED.
Resolutions were drawn up instructing
Chief Ehlers to suspend Hastings from
office, and recommending that criminal pro
ceedings be commenced against him for
embezzlement and perjury, also that suit
be entered against the bondsmen, George
W. Day nnd W. B. Mooro to recover the
amount of tho deficit.
Clerk Hastings said last bight: "I have
done no wrong, aituougn x may nave ueen
careless, I never stole a cent of money, and
I have nothing to-day but the house in which
I livo."
At tho meeting last night Chairman Hen
ricks read from a paper a statement by
Charles Xcob in which he was leported as
saying, "1 believe in nn audit of the city
books, but it ought to be dono by impartial
men." He then said: ."I consider that to be
an imputation on the honor of every mem
ber of this committeo, and ask Mr. Xeeb if
he is correctly reported, and, if so, to make an
explanation." Mr. Neeb replied that he had
made some sucn statement, but only in a
general way and not meaning to cast any
reflections on that particular committee.
His language had been twisted so as to con
vev an entirely wrong impression.
This explanation did not satisfy Dr. Gilli
ford, and a spirited discussion" followed.
Xceb said that he had no refereuce to any
member of tho committee, Dut if the shoe
fitted any of them, they could put It on.
The Auditors having wound up tho market
department, will next tackle the Mayor's
office. It was decided last night to direct
the Mayor to hand over tho witness fee
book to the Auditing Committee. This was
based on a decision received from tho City
Solicitor on this subject. Tho vehicle license
and amusement license books will also bo.
demanded. These books have formerly
been withheld from tho Auditing Commit
tee, but the decision of the City Solicitor
settles that point.

Congressman Dalzell returned from Cape
May yesterday, where he met President
Harrison. He says that his call op the Pres

NETTINGS FOR THE NAVY.
America Competing With England for
Superiority In 'Warship Equlpmont No
Strike at the Continental Tube Work
Many Improvements There.
Emerson & Medgley, the Beaver Falls
wire manufacturers, have made a section of
steel torpedo netting for a comparative test
with English netting, the outcome of which
will be awaited with very great interest
both here and abroad. Should the Ameri
can netting prove superior to the English,
it will mean that this country will be called
upon to supply the navies of the world with
torpedo netting.
Tho English aro so far ahead in tho manu
facture of this species of defense against
torpedoes thnt the othor Governments have
had to equip their navies with the English
nets. The netting at present used by tho
American navy is of tha same manufacture.
Tho mode of making nnd tho design of the
English netting is covered by patents; and
though attempts have been mado to make
something as good as it, Its superioaity re
mains unchallenged.
The effort to obtain as good netting in this
country was only made when the ships
now building were planned. The legislation
under which the new ships aro being con
structed provides that the materials and
worjcmansmp should De nil or American
manufacture. Hence arose the necessity
for seeking an American substitute for tho
English netting. Various wire working
firms wore invited by Government to fur
nish a sample section of netting, but only
one, a Beaver Falls Arm, was found willing
to undertake the trial. Thoy manufactured
and furnished the Government with a sec
tion of netting 30 feet by 20 feet
and mado on a widely difTerent prin
ciple to tho English netting. In tho latter
G-inch rings nre joined together by smaller
ones: on tho Beaver Falls make the strands
of wiro aro interwoven arc right angles.
Both tho English and American nettings
aro galvanized to resist the corrosive action
of the salt water.
Commander G. A. Converse, of the United
States Xavy, arrived in town on Sunday.
He was at Beaver Falls yesterday in connec
tion with the nottings. Sneaking, of tho
section mado at Beaver Falls he said that, so
far, ltCompared favorably with tho English
netting. It possessed greater tensile strength
and was fighter than the English make.
He snid that tho Government-had orderod a
section of tho English netting, and thnt a
test of tho two varieties would have been
made, in about two months time, by being
flred at w ith an Erickson submarine gun.
In reply to n question as to what tne Gov
ernment would do in case tho English net
ting proved to be the best, Commander Con
verse said that tho Xavy would only have to
use heavier material, as it was essential only
American material should bo used in the
equipment of tho ship. Torpedo nettings
were suspended from booms at.a distance of
SO or 36 foot from the sido of the ship, and
surrounding It, being lot down about 20
feet below water. They arrest the torpedo
ou its course towards the ship.
NO STRIKE AT THE TUBE W0BES.
General Manager Everson Says His Mon
Are All at Work New Machinery There.
Regarding nn advertisement in yester
day's issue of The Dispatch calling upon
machinists to notico that there is a strike
pending at the Continental Tube Works,
General Manaier T. B. Evorson was seen
yesterday at the works. He said thero was
no striko at his mill. lie invited The Dis
rATcn reporter to walk through the machine
shop and investigate for himself. Tho shop
foreman, on reply to questions, stated thero
wasnostrikein tho shop. They had nil the
men they needed, nnd had men calling there
every day for work. Some of the men then
at work belonged to the international Asso
ciation of Machinists. Tho shops wero well
tilled with men, and certainly presented
anything but a "striking" appearance as
far as the lack of employes went.
Since the old Continental mill was ac
quired by tho Oil Well Supply Company tho
plant has been renovated and enlarged.
The welding department has two butt and
two lap weld furnaces, and a now device for
conveying the tubes when they pass from
the furnace welded. This conveyer is nn
endless rack set at an angle of about 30 and
working at a slow speed. The tube Is rolled
on to it and carried about 12 feet before be
ing dropped again. By this time it Is nearly
cold. Four three-quarter Inch tubes per
minute wero being turned out yesterday,
and tho out-put of two-incn tubes is8C0in a
day of ten hours. Tho skelp iron is made
into pipes on the samo day it is made. Mr.
Evorson said that tho works had been vis
ited by a number of experts lately. They
said it was tho best equipped tube-mill in
the world, nnd he believed it was.
Employing Printers Refuse a Scale.
A number of employing job printers met
yesterday to consider the scale offered by
Typographical Union Xo. 7. It was unani
mously decided not to yield the demands. It
was urged that the competition in surround
ing cities was so sharp as not to admit of any

HOARDING THE CASH.
The Men 'in the Conn'ellsville Coke
Eegion Preparing For
GOING ON ANOTHER BIG STRIKE.
Merchants Already Notice That tho Miners
Spend No Money.
INTERESTING TALK ON THE SITUATION.
The men in the coke region are preparing
for another strike. All signs indicate that
the struggle will begin before very many
weeks, and though it may be several months,
the strike is almost sure to come within the
year.
John C. Berryhill, the Mt Pleasant
jeweler, and First Lieutenant of Company
E, Tenth Kegiment was in the city yester
day and in conversation with a Dispatch
reporter gave some very interesting facts
regarding existing conditions among the
cokcrs and miners of the region. Mr.
Berryhill is an unbiased observer, as he
recognizes the fact that all the business of
the region depends upon the men getting
good wages and the opeiators being able to
furnish the work. He is in a position to
see the trenB of affairs, long before they
have assnmed practical shape, and is closely
enough interested to keep an eye open for
all signs of nn approaching struggle between
officers and men. He declared yesterday
that he had not the least doubt of the men
preparing for a strike and cited some facts
which give strong grounds for the sus
picion. THE MEN HOABDING THEIK WAGES.
"Last Saturday," said Mr. Berryhill,
"over 525,000 was paid out to the men in
Mt. Pleasant. The merchants, of course,
expected to do a good Saturday's business,
but I venture to say that not ono of them
did a business of $100. It was a great sur
prise, but the meaning of it is plainly seen
by every observnnt man in tho region. Tho
men are hoarding their money for an
other strike, and it is bonnd to como. Noth
ing will bo said about It, but I would not be
surprised to at any tlmo hear of the men
quitting their work.
"Thoy will not go out unprepared," ho
continued, "but will quietly lay away tho
greater part of their money until thoy see a
time whon thero is a demand for coke, whon
they will ngnln qnlt work and flght on tho
issno they lost in the last struggle."
"That will mean that the militia will havo
to use the bayonets on them," said another
member In the party.
"Oh, no it won't," returned Mr. Berryhill.
"Thoy see what it cost the last time, and will
be more quiet. As a rule thoy nre pretty
sensible fellows, but they lost their heads in
tho last strike."
THEV SEE THEIR MISTAKES.
"If they had kept quiet they would prob
ably havo won, but by rioting they lost pub
lic sympathy, even though they did some
times have a (trievance. They now see
where they made a mistake and their next
strike will bo harder than tho last. I am in
a position to get Insldo facts in their affairs.
I believe the next striko is not very far dis
tant. Tho men are smart enough to lay up
their money in anticipation of a 'long siege,
and If tuey are prepared for it it will mean
a harder ono than ever."
"What do you think of the charges that
officers got tho biggest part of the relief
money duiing the recent strike?" wasaskod.
"I don't think there is nny truth in the
statement. Ton must know that it takes a
great deal of money to go around when 12,000
or 15,000 men are idle. That means about
40,000 or 50.000 peoplo to feed. The officers
could not have gotten away with a great
deal of money, as not a gicat deal of it ever
came into tho region. I know some was dis
tributed, and I irucss all that camo Into tho
region went to the men."
OTHER INDICATIONS OF A STRIKE.
The factB noted bv Lieutenant Berryhill
only carry out the Impression given by Pres
ident John B. Rea, or the United Mine Work
ers of America, in his interview in The Dis
tatcii yesterday morning. The leaders ap
pear to be solidifvlng their organization
with some special object in view. A striko
with only a part ot the men in the order
would bo death to the miners andcokers,and
it is npparent that they arc preparing
against such a catastrophe.
An attempt will, of course, be made to
quietly work up to the point of quitting
work. "Forewarned is forearmed," and that
as much as anything wns the reason tho
operators defeited tho men the last time.
As soon as they learned of the proposed
strike they allowed about only half time.
Tho men were thus prevented from laying
aside a great deal of money. They purpose
not to be caught napping this time and have
begun hoarding their wages long hefore they
expect to bo called upon to quit work.
Keep It in the House That it may be
promptly administered in all sudden at
tacks of cholera morbus, cramps, diarrhoea,
colic or any affection of the bowels, for
which Dr. Jayne's Carminative Balsam is
an effectual remedy. At this season of the
year every family will find in it a useful
and reliable curative.

A DAY FOR CHILDREN.
Six Thousand Members of the Allegheny
Pnhllc Schools Attend tlio Exposition
Preparations for Grand Army Day
Somo of the Wonderful Exhibits.
About 6,000 children from the Allegheny
public schools took possession of the Expo
sition yesterday. From 9 A. ar. until nearly
dusk they had everything pretty much their
own way. Tuey had a great time losing and
finding their tiny pockotbooks. Dozens of
times during tho day small faces could bo
seen peeping around tho corner of tho gen
eral manager's desk, nnd small tear-choked
voices heard to inquire: "Did you see my
purseT I lost it, and it had my car fare in
it, and and I don't know how I am going
to got ho home." In the 12 days of the Ex
position, the management has supplied
enough nickels nnd dimes to people who
have lost pocketbooks containing their car
faro to almost establish a national bank.
To-day is the last of the children's days
and a life crowd Is oxpeeted from Allegheny.
The management desires parents and guard
inns to take their charges home beroro they
grow tiredand troublesome. Tho children's
tickets will not bo honored affer 4 o'clock.
The Exposition to-day will practically be
turned over to tho soldier boys. It is vet
erans' day and everything will bo dono for
their pleasuro and entertainment. Martial
music will bo a special feature nnd the
whole place will present a very patriotic ap
pearance. PIANOS, .ZEOMANS AND ORGANS.

Mellor & Hcene have nlwnys had a tro

Intend to break the record entirely this
season. They havo not had time to go down

handling the custom of their numerous
patrons. Pianos, icolians and organs no
sooner arrive at the "Palace of Music"thnn
out thoy go, cither tohomes in this city or be
shipped to a distance. The very favorable
terms, tho easy modes of payment nnd tho
acknowledged ability of thls"flrm tojudge of
the best and most desirable instruments to
furnish their customers, haa had everything
to do with their unparalleled success. Every
body knows there Is but one asollan made;
nobody wants there shouldbe any other, for
nothing else could eqnal this particular
make: tho organs are ot tho best, and if there
is any way of getting at it, tho Ilardman,
Krakaucr, etc., aro even hotter.

passes any at tho Exposition for $2,500. And
the same is true of their pianos andsmall
musical goods, all of which are sold at much
lower prices than the "exposed" goods at
the groat show. Klebers' private musical
exposition at 508 Wood 9treet throws In the

A Popcorn Day
At the Exposition is not to be thought of,
for tho simple and good reason that every
day has been popcorn day since September
2. The way popcorn has walked into the
affections and months of men, women and
children this season is a wonder to behold
ers. Lemonado mado from fresh lemons,
granulnted sugar and filtered wator (which
is Baker's recipe for this article), assuages
thirst after eating unlimited auantlties of
his candies, always freshly made, better than
anything else known.

A Tory Refreshing Story About tho Rain
makers Operating There.
W. L. Measner, a postal clerkfrom El Paso,
Tox., was in the city yesterday. He has
been watching very closely the experiments
of Uncle Jerry's rainmakers down there and
Bays that they aro a success. He tells how
he was delayed 38 hours on a sandy desert
by 11 Bridge washout, hero rain was only
previously re'erred to as a tradition of tho
oldest inhabitants.
Tho author of these damp facts wasac
companiedby a number of brotuer postal
