BETTER FACTORY LAWS NECESSARY
Gcntral Drift of Industrial Hitters in and Arannd
rittsbnrff.
The railroad miners of the local district,
involving 9,000 men, will shortly ask for an
advance in wages. A convention will be
held in the city next Tuesday for the pur
pose of formulating the demands.
Yesterday a large mass meeting of miners
was held at Mansfield. It was called for 10
o'clock, but it lasted all day. Xational
President J. B. llae, of the United Mine
"Workers, and President Costello, of
District 3, were present and
made addresses. There had been
some feeling among the local miners last
spring against the national officers, but any
disaffection that existed yesterday -was en
tirely wiped out by the time the meetine
was over, a'ld it is safe to say that all will
be peace and harmony throughout the dis
trict in the luture. After the objects of the
meeting yesterday had been explained and
the business transacted, the miners passed a
resolution unanimously expressing their
desire that a convention should be called
for the purpose of considering the -advisability
of making immediate demands for an
increase in wages.
HKA. CALLS FOR A CONVENTION.
Accordingly, President Costello issued
the following late last evening:
Masfield, 1 a., September 23.
To the Miners of the rittburR Railroad District,
Organized and Unorganized:
You are hereby notified that a convention
will be held In K. of I Kail, Third avenue
and Market street, Pittsburg, Pa., on Tues
aay, the 29th inst., convention tohecallqd
to order at 10 o'clock a. m., promptly. The
qneftion- to be considered arc:
First An advance in the price of niln
imr. Second Question of weighing coal before
screening.
Ever- mine i requestca to take action
immediately, and elect delegate'. Prompt
and i in mediate steps will bnnsr the liost re
bults. Jonx Costello,
President Dittrict .1, l M. W. A.
Mr. Costello was seen lat night and he
Mid: "The miners of this district feel that
they nre not being paid Jut wages, and the
officer think they are about right. There
area number of inequalities that need to bo
arranged, and I believe this i the proper
time to have it done. f course, it will be a
f urpri-c to the operators to have the de
mand come no. The -caoii is Just open
ing: natural ga- N on the decline, and I am
not of the opinion they can stand atrike
very long. Hut I have little fear of a strike.
I believe any reasonable demand will be
granted without a second questioning."
President Itae was also seen last night.
lie mid: "I cannot say what advance the
miners of the Pittsburg district will ask. At
present the- are paid 79 cents a ton, as
against S9 paid in the same district to river
miner? working in the ame vein.
?Il"?T KQCTALTZE THE SCALES.
"This makes a dilTcrcnceof 10 cents, whero
reallv none should exist. But what price
will bo asked depends entirely upon the
miners themelro. Our organization be
lieves in home ruleand in this ca-e the Pitts
burg miner will be allowed to fix their ow n
rate. I will say. however, that any reason
able demands that tliev may make will
be backed up bv our national organization.
"oine ears ago, whpn natural ga came
in the miners very willingly conceded to a
relative diirerence in the pi ice of mining in
different districts because the homemirkct
was gone. Now, that it lias been restored
again, we think there should be some ditTcr
cnec in their favor. I hardly think there
will be a strike, but should one occur it will
involve all the men on the Pnnhandle, Char
tier, Lake Erie, Saw Mill Itiw, Wheeling
division of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Bal
timore and Ohio, the Pittsburg, I'cKeesport
and Yonghloghenv, Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Pennsylvania and Allegheny
Vallev railroads within the limits of the
rittbnrg di-tricts "'
"What tllfference does it make to have the
coal weighed before screening?
Must this difference: I'nder the present
arrangement the miners are not credited
with thc-Ir full product. Nearly 40 per cent
of what they mine is screened" as nut coal
and slack.
nniNOS NEARLY THE SAME PRICE.
"The former sell within 10 and 13 cents as
much as lump coal and the slack sells for
from 10 to 50 cents a ton. Well, on an aver
ace of 20 cents a ton. It amounts to quite an
item, but the miners get no credit whatever
for it. This is unjust and unfair."
The news of the proposed demands was
received too late secure the opinion of op
erator. It is known that they will make
some ort of an effort to oppose the de
mand. J. Morton Hall was quoted last week
as saying that It would be a foolish movo
on the part of the miners to ask for an ad
vance now.
President Itae has arranged for another
week' visitation through the district. To
night he w ill be in Shaner: Friday niiihr, at
Eucyville. Saturday arternoon at McDonald,
and nct Monday at Imperial, lie will at
tend the convention here on Tuesday. It is
expected that Vice President Penha will
alo be at the meeting. The general feeling
is that the breach in the rank of the local
miners will be entirely healed in cae they i
are succes-ful with the proposed demand, J
and all the talk about leaving the miners" 1
rr-i lilyntioi, will lw tnown rmlTnc i tl,ltitr !
of the past.
Say They 1VII1 Get the Men.
The strike of the hammermen's crew at
Anderson, DuPuy & Co."s mill at Chartiers
is still on, but the firm is trying to make it
appear a insignificant. A representative of
the company said rstci day that the trouble
did not amount to anything, and that they
would have no trouble in finding men to
take the tiikers' places. A to the charge
of the men that they were compelled to
work overtime, he said it had always been
the custom to work the mill o-. cr'tinic in
busy seasons.
A Paper Weight Factory.
The Lily Paper Weight Company is the
name of a concern which has just started a
plant at I'niontnwn, Pa., to manufacture
the celebrated "Lilj" paper weights. The
projectors are W. F. Moirion, John Q.
Schalcr and II. L. Ilrnnt. They are only
erecting one email furnace at present, but
they bavo plenty of room to pread should
the demand for their product require it.
Nearly Itrady to Start.
A new steel plant has been established at
West Duluth, Minn., and it is thought it will
be ready for operation in a short time. The
material for the mill was furnished by the
Lewis Foundry and Machine Company, of
this cit. Yesterunv w ord w as recei eI at
Amalgamated headquarters asking for the
Asociation scales, that they might be signed
by the new firm.
They Must Bnrj- the Hatchet.
Drum Major Kerrigan says he will abandon
the drum corps project among the newsboys
until the Druitt and Grimes factions settle
their difflcultj. A meeting was to have
been held the other night, but, it is said, one
faction kept the other out or the hall, and a
row ensued.
Unmindful f the Boycott.
The Salesmen's Assembly, K. of L., met
last night and initiated 12 new members
seven ladies and five gentlemen. There
were several violations ol the orders pro
hibiting members from riding on a certain
traction road reported, but no fines im
posed. Plate Gliidt Men In Town.
W. D. Keyes, or New Albany, was in town
yesterday. He was Joined at the Anderson
by Ldward Ford and A. M. Howard, and tho
trio dined together. The presence of other
plale glass men in town would indicate tho
probability of a meeting being held this
morning.
THE LAW TOO NARROW.
Deputy Factory Inspector Miss O'Kellly
Suggests Some Important Changes In
Flavor or the Men The Act Not Wide
Enough in Its Scope Some Observa
tions. Miss Mary A. O'Reilly, the Deputy Fac
tory Inspectress, is still busily engaged
looking into the condition of local concerns
which come tinder the provisions of the
factory act. She has discovered a remark
able fact that will no doubt receive consid
erable attention in her report to the State
Department relative to the scope of the law.
Speaking of the matter last night she said:
"My Impression is that it is not so much
the use in various occupations for women n
the abuse that in most cases affects the
physical condition; for instance, in Philadel
phia, where the textile industry predomi
nates, many women are, during the fall and
winter months, engaged from 0:45 A. M. until
Ji r. ji., leavinrr 45 minutes for noonday meal
and 15 for supper. The portion of this in
dustry most injurious, to my mind, for
women is in the weaving department, the
working being unusually heavy. Again, in
manv of our mercantile houses tools are pro
vided snoposed to be for a specific purpose.
It frequently occurs to me, however, in
going about that the purpose, w hllo being
very good, the practice exists in name only,
as too frequently has it been proven that the
cot of a woman's position has been her
desire to nse the tools w hen w caried from
over exertion.
"The position, or rather the condition of
our industrial market to-day so far ns
women nre concerned, is undergoing a very
radical change, inasmuch ns women are in
the majority in nearly all the States and
their irron ine tendencies aro to be more de
pendent upon their own resource. To ac
complish this tliev must, necoarily, do a
manual labor. The employer being, a is
usual, alive, to the times, discovers this dls-
Sosltlon and immediately take advantage
y displacing the men and engaging
women labor. This works disastrously
in manv ways. To me the two
most vital, however, are, viz.: the closing of
that occupation to man and the possibility
of its being done at a cost or from $2 to $6
difference in the salary paid the man as
compared with what the woman may re
ceive. Yes, this is decidedly wrong.
For if conditions necessitate that
women must cuter into the industiial
world as man's competitor, then let
it be upon the basic principle
of equal pav for equal work and backed up
oy that humane line, which appeals direct
to every man and woman; 'Live and let live.'
Through legislation can be done many
things for the bettering of woman's condi
tion, but It may not be made an exceptional
feature, my befief being that what is good
Tor one is good for all, and while the lactory
act in Pennsylvania is purely one for the
benefit of women and children, already
have we felt and realized it narrow con
fine. Already the spirit of dissatisfaction
has manifested itselr, and thP result will be,
I hope, in a revision, when all will be cov
ered with a shield, which, I am sorry to say.
is considered unnecessary in this, the land
of enlightened American intelligence.

MUST OBEY THE LAW.
Police Superintendent Weir After the Vio
lators of the New Liquor Law Nothing
Less Thnn Twelve Tint Bottles of Beer
Can Be Sold.
Police Superintendent Weir will see that
the liquor laws are properly observed in
Pittsburg. Of late it has been brought to
his notice that a large number of small
wholesale dealers are violating a portion of
the new law passed at the last session of the
Legislature. One section expressly pro
vides that bottlers and brewers shall not
sell less than 12 pint bottles of beer at one
time.
"I have found," said Superintendent Weir,
"that a great many small dealers are paying
no attention to the sprtion. Some of them
are selling quart of beer right along, while
a large number are having big sales of half
gallou bottles. This business is the cause of
more drunkenness among women and chil
dren thnn all other branches and features of
the liquor businc-s, and wo will see that It is
stopped.
"The law states very clearly that nothing
less than 12 pint bottles can be sold, except
bv rcraileis. There can be no modification
of this. A wholesaler cannot sell a gallon
and a half in bulk or six qunrt bottles,
though the amount of beer is the same as in
12 pints. Pint bottles must be used except
where more than 12 pints are sold at a time.
I propose to prosecute all those who violate
thi law."
Miperintcndcnt Weir yesterday sent no
tice to all dealers in Pittsburg warning
them that if the law is not lived up to prose
cutions will come speedily. He thinks such
actions will drive out or the business a lot of
one-horse establishments where a quart of
beer is sold to anybody willing to pay 10
cents for it.
PE0MINEHT CAPITALISTS HEBE
To Inspect Local Industries, With a British
Magnate Among Them.
Charles A. Otis, ot New York; Thomas
Joplingand L. X. Iloby, of Cleveland, and J.
T. Smith, of London, England, formed a
party which arrived at the Duquesne last
evening from Cleveland. The gentlemen
are interested in the Otis Steel Company, of
Cleveland, a property which was ac
quired some time since by the Englih
syndicate which operates under the
title of the Investment and Securities
Company of London. The property was
capitalized at $4,500 000 and i owned largely
in England. Tniioneof some half dozen
similar establishments the English operators
have purchased. The gentlemen compris
ing the paity arc here for the purpose of
inspecting some of tho industrial establish
ments of the city, in company with .1. T.
Smith, of London, who is the President of
the Investment Company.
Mr. Smith said he had been in this country
such a short period that he felt he must re
frain from any expression, .of gpinion re
garding what be saw. He lind not had time
to draw conclusions as to tho effect on
British trade of the McKlnley tariff act, but
he believed tho iron and steel industry
would not be strongly affected. The tin
plate makers were not yet feeling discour
aged. Mr. Smith said there was always
English money for American property. He
w as aware there wa a good deal ol English
capital invested in the South, and he also
knew people who w ished thej had not in
vested there.
THE FINAL HAHVEST. EXCURSION
To Leate Next Tuesday Local Traffic on
the P. It. It. Ahead or Last Year.
The last Pennsylvan'n harvest excursion
for the scaon will bo on next Tuesday, the
2lth. Colonel Moody said yesterday that
ticket would be sold at much reduced rates
and to all points in Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, the West
ern and Southern States and the Indian Ter
ritory. The ticket would carry stop off
privilege for points west of the Missouri.
The outlook was for one of the biggest ex
cursions of the year. Colonel Moody says
the piopects for the California business
tub. j ear are very good.
Ticket Agent" Carpenter says thnt the
local traffic is ahead of last vea'r's business.
The road transit lines injured local traffic to
a certain oxtent.but not so much as was sup
posed. The matters of fare was not con
sidered so much by travelers as the question
of convenience.

CLOSING THE-DRAMA.
Judge Ewing to Charge the Jury in
the Fitzsimmons Tfose To-Day.
MUEPHY SPOILS A PRETTY STORY,
And Gets Badly Eoasted by the Attorneys
for the Defense.
ALL THE EVIDENCE HAS BEE& OFFERED
This morning Judge Ewing will make his
charge in the Fitzsimmons murder
trial and the case will be turned over to the
jury. All the testimony was brought out
yesterday and the lawyers made their pleas.
Through it all Mrs. Lucy-3?it2sinimons. pre
served her composure,and her quiet manper
of acting won for her many friends-yesterday.
AVhen the court opened Attorney Mar
shall read a report of Detective Murphy's
testimony before the Coroner. He held
that this testimony was different from that
given in court and consequently damaged
Murohy's stnnding as a witness.
This closed the case for the defense. The
State put Detective Murphy on the stand to
rebut Mrs. Fitzsimmons' testimony. Mr.
Murphy said Mr. Gilkinson did not wink
when he came up to the door and did not
call the nrisoner a "devilish woman." At
no time during the fight was Gilkinson be
hind Murphy. The child was not in the
room. Mrs. Pit7simmons did not come be
tween the men and say: "For God's sake
stop this." Mrs. Fitzsimmons did not
close the door, uordid the witness nor Gil
kinson try to catch hold of her. He did not
fire after he left the house, nor did Fitzsim
mons come to the door and fire after him.
Nor did he call Mrs. Fitzsihimons a "hell
cat" when he went back to the house
Andrew Doenges and Peter "Doenges
who went back with Murphy, testified that
he did not call her a "hell cat."
Mr. Marshall submitted his points in re
lation to the charge to the jury. Judge
Fwiiig glanced at them and said: "You
didn't write these Mr. Marshall?" to which
the answer was: "So, but they came from
agood source."
District Attorney Burleigh, in his ad
dress to the jury, said there was no mystery
in the case. Gilkinson went to the house of
Fitzsimmons to execute lawful warrants,
and he was killed there. Mr. Burleigh
made a close analysis of the testimony. .
BUKLEIGlf CLOSES HIS TLKA.
He held it was very strange that Mrs.
Fitzsimmons knew nothing of her husband's
movements, as she claimed. He held that
she was unworthy ot credit; that she did
know what ho was doing, and cmicd out
her portion of the work according to agree
ment. He asked for a verdict in accordance
with tho tacts, and w ithout regard to public
clamor or an j- sympathy the Jurors may feel.
The court loom was crowded when the
trial was resumed at 1-30 o'clock, standing
room itself being greatly in demand. The
audience was mado np almost -exclusively
of ladies and law yers, and the interest taken
in the arguments continued until court ad
journed a little after 5 o'clock.
VT. A. ChaUinor, Esq., of tho defense, mado
the opciilnir argument in favor of tho de
fendant, lie explained .that Malor K. A.
Mon tooth was threatened bv typhoid fever
and could not be present to mako an ad
dress. Mr. Cliallinor claimed that tho case
was a peculiar one, its distinguishing fea
tures being conjecture and doubt, that Fred
erick Cnrrolton Fitzsimmons was not on
trial, but his wire was, and that the tes
timony against him could not rercr
or bear on the present trial and that any im
pressions they may have formed as to the
guilt of the fugitive must be rejected. He
argued that Mrs. Fitzsimmons was justified
in carrying firearms even on her person, be
cause the house she lived in was isolated to
considerable extent, and that Mr. Fitzsim
mons was so frequently- away that the de
fendant needed protection. He argued
further that she was not on trial for any
crime she may have committed to Detective
JItirphy, that what she had dono to him
could riot bear on tho case, thnt these detec
tives. Murphy and Gilkinson, woro at. the
house for gain and not for any high motive
of duty nor of law. He claimed that the de
fendant had cause for alarm by the way
Murphy approached the house.
CALLS THE TROSECUTIOK COWARDS.
In regard to a statement advanced by tho
prosecution as to why the defense had not
brought tho doctorand warden from thejail
to corroborate the testimony of the defend
ant, that her arms were black and blue fiom
the treatment of the detecthos, the speaker
said: "Why didn't the prosecution biing
them? It was their place to do so if they
wished to contradict Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
They were afraid. Now, ns to the revolver,
hue got it from a cupboard and did not have
it concealed upon her person, nor is there
any evidence to show that she fired a single
shot. She took her husband's side against
men she presumed were strangers. We do
not ask sympathy, but w e do nsk justice."
Thomas M. Marshall, tho principal attor
ney for tho defense, was the next speaker.
In opening he said: "I am not sure what the
prosecution is aiming at or what kind of a
verdict they ask, whether murder, assault
and battery or disorderly conduct."
Mr. Burleigh replied: "I think the Jury un
derstands wh.it we want, if not I will gay
now that we ask for a verdict of muidcrin
the first degree."
Mr. Marshall then continued his address.
Ho spoke of the power of the Jury, nndjilacod
it above that of tho court, tho State or
the President, saying: "These may par
don a man, but vou have tho power to
destroy life, to take it away, the very life
given by God, the divine gitt, as it weie, or
you may say as Chiist did, 'Go, and sin no
more.' Inovcrheard of sucli a discus this
where they ak for n first dogree against a
woman who is not even accused of having
fired a shot, but, of course, thev ask for it
and are happy to get something."
The speaker tbon spoke eloqnently of
Pennsylvania's strong, great common wealth,
with Its 4,000,000 of peoplo, and said: "Oh.
yes. It is necessary for the safety of these
people thnt this old woman should be in
carcerated, deprived of her liberty or
strangled to death with n rope. Is Pennsyl
vania afraid of this poor woman?"
MARSHALL ROASTS MURPHV.
lie then examined the warrants, reading
one that was sworn to by Mr. Murphy and
referred to the condition and surroundings
of the house where the nmrder was corrimit-
ted and then spoke sarcastically of Murphy
going to Bull Run and how- it proved a verit
able Bull Run. The speaker then said: "At
the house Murphy rolled out lies and lies
and what did the defendant do? Why she
lied too. What treachery! Speak or tho
Garden or Eden, of the serpent and the
seducer, why we can express their wicked
ness in two words a 'constable-detective.'
Mrs. Fitzsimmons knew that Fred was her
master and she bis slave. She did not
know his business and whenever she
asked she was told to mind her own busi
ness. As to the revolver In her apron, Mr.
Murphy can't swear that It was there; he
don't know, and yet the prosecution want
you on vour oath to find that she did h.ivo
it. And" this detective says he did not push
Mrs. Fitzsimmons to get into' the house. It
is a lie, a lie, and no one knows it better
than 1'atiick James Murphy. Why, Gilkin
son was lying on the floor dead" and tills
woman was not even in tho room. From
Murphy's own testimony JFitzslmmons fired
four shots, three in rapid succession, and
the woman rushed in the room, but Gilkin
son was then lying dead. Is she then to be
held for a shooting she was in no manner
dentified with?"
Mr. Marshall hero read a few sections of
the will and testament or Robert Fitz
simmons, the rather or the fugitive, showing
that the latter had been left considerable
money, and that his ahsense previous to the
shooting was duo to the fact that hewasiu
Canadi securing tho money and had one
dratt lor iSflJ).
ANXIOUS TO FIND A SCArEGOAT.
The speaker then spoke sarcastically of
the work of detectives, and claimed that
they were w illlng to allow Mi s. Fitzsimmons
to perish rather than allow no one to suffer
for the crime of F. C. Fitzsimmons.
He also indulged in a number of saicnstie
reiiiai ks about statements of the prosecu
tion and of the prosecution's disappoint
ment that they could not placard the town
with announcements of the execution or
Fitzsimmons, and how the prosecution
wished to maku amends for the escape by
hanging the wife. Ho Also spoke of the
satcnel and claimed that it'had been'left at
the house, but on the day of the murdor,
and thnt Mrs. Fitzsimmons could not have
been anaie of its contents. In conclusion
Mr. Marshall cautioned the Jury against be
coming confused with the excitement that
surrounded the trial. He said:
"There is nothing so dangerous as tho ox
eitoment of a public crime, or so barbarous
as a public mob. We have had both the
poople and the press are crying to hang
someone. Is a public excitement or taste to
ho fed at the price of a God-given life?
Pennsylvania, rich and proud, does she de
mand that Mrs-Fitzsimmons, an old woman,
should be hung; should be sacrificed to feed
an excitement? Would you brand her so
that her little daughter in womanhood will
be hissed as the child of a murderer? I ask
you to find her not guilty. Who among vou
will be proud to say, 'I convicted a mother
and bereaved a child on ' suspicion?' " As
Mr. Marshall finished Mrs. Fitzsimmons
held her tan to her face and appeared to be
crying.
jomr robb's closing speech.
John S. Robb, Esq., bf the prosecution,
mado the closing argument. He denied sev
eral of the statements made by Mr. Marshall
as to the power of juries, the pistol shots,
etc., and that the prosecntion was Just try
ing the defendant because they could not
try the fugitive, and that part of the
previous speaker's address referring to the
warrants. They were all sworn to by J. F.
Schmidt' except a search warrant sworn out
by Murphy. Mr. Robb defended the re
flections cast upon Mr. Murphy and called
him a good officer and one who, because he
had done his dnty, was looked down
upon and insulted in court bo
cause he bad brought a criminal
to Justice. Mr. Robb showed that the
satchel had been left at the house three days
previous to tho murder, and that during
that time Mrs. Fitzsimmons must have been
aware of Its contents. Ho claimed that if
the defendant believed her husband to be
an honest man and not a thief, and was not
aware of the contents of the satchel, she had
no excuse for lying nnd telling the officers
thnt her husband was not at home, or why
did she say: "I knew he would be killed if
he went in the room." Mr. Robb spoke of
the actions of Mrs. Fitzsimmons on the w it
ness stand, how she tried to win the sym
pathy of the Jury by her hypocritical man
ner, and said that in her tears she was as
cool and calculating and murderous as
when poor Gilkinson was shot. In con
clusion he said: "Look at her cold eye, her
impassive countenance, and see if there is
any sentiment there, or what emotions
could swell her breast! She is a murderous
woman, and I ask for a first degree ver
dict." RICHARD JENNINGS DEAD.

A NIGHT OF MELODY.
Enthusiasm Awakened by the Irish
Airs at the Exposition.
BOBBY BURNS WILL RULE TO-DAY.
Kine Big Excursions Have Been Scheduled
for This Morning.
SOME OP THE LEADING ATTRACTIONS
Last night was Irish Night at the Expo
sition, and many a bonny blue eye flashed
brighter, and many a brave, true heart beat
quicker at the rollicking bursts of
melody that came from Cappa's band. These
concerts are becoming more and more popu
lar every day. Seats in front of the band
stand are in great demand. Cornetist
Sogers' rendition of Irish melodies last
night seemed to touch a responsive chord
in every heart in the immense audience.
There was a larger proportion of ladies
and children present at the matinee yester
day than usual.
To-day is expected by the Exposition
management to be the biggest of the season
up to date. No less than nine excursions
will come in- over the various
roads, and at least 10,000 people
from out of town will throng the
aisles of Pittsburg's great exhibition. To
night is Scotch night, and the Scotch-Irish
element which Is to largely predominant in
this section will have another treat and
many an old Highlander will close his eyes
anil catch the scent of tho heather as the
pibrock of the Campbells and tho wheezing
of the bagpipes comes whistling to ills ear.
PIANOS, AEOLIANS AND ORGANS.
Palace of Manic, 77 Firth Avenne.
Don't make the fatal mistake of supposing
that because you have been down to tho Ex
position you have seen all the music firms
represented there. Far from it, for Mellor
& lloene are having their own individual
exposition and it's a "stunner." There you
may examine the renowned Hardman
pianos, pianos that will stay in tune in ad
dition to all their other qualifications; the
Krakaucr pianos have a largo popularity,
and for the matter of thnt, so have the A. B.
Chae and the Harringtons; indeed, all of
these makes have their strong adherents,"
and only those alleged judges, who don't
know a fine instrument when they see (or
rather hear) it, could feel anything but the
keenest satisfaction in being brought into
contact with these glorious instruments.
The organ branch of this house enrries it
self bravely, and delicious examples in
"reeds" are plentiful. The Aeolian will
speak for itself in the future as powerfully
as in the past. A goodly array, and one that
is highly valued in this community.
Electric Light Construction Material.
Tho world to-dav accepts the fact of
streets, houses, public and Government
buildings and churches lighted by electrici
ty, but too few retlizc the methods by which
it is accomplished and the manifold appli
ances necessary to bring this system of
lighting to its present state of perfection.
Tho Electrical Supply nnd Construction
Company, of W7 Libel ty street, is entitled to
it giant share of tho credit due to the dis
coverers, ana they are in position to not
only supply everything that comes under
the head of "electric light construction
material," but to apply it in accordance with
the most advanced, most scientific, prin
ciples w hich govern and control the adapta
tion of this forceful, and formerly unsub
jeetcd, agent to the uses and necessities of
civilized nations. A careful and exhaustive
examination of the stock enrried by this
company w ill demonstrate their fitness nnd
capacity to furnish nil material and do all
woik connected with electric lighting in
every form.
Something Worth Seeing
Is the view of the subject taken liy the vis
itors to the stand of Messrs. Hopper Bros. A
Co., found, as heretofore, in north gallery.
People wore charmed with it at the opening
night, and thev have taken kindly to tho
additions made since then, for you are
forced to admit that tho improvements are
really improvements that havo enhanced
tho value of the display. The members of
this firm have never altcd foV some one to
help them out with ideas; they don't Know
how to follow, but they do know how to
lead. Always on the alert for the newest
and tho host, always ready to give prompt
and courteous nttention to patrons, always
prepared to execute all orders with energy
nnd intelligence, this firm has built up an
immense trade, for they are deservedly
popular. Visit 307 Wood street and be
carried by elevator to the four floors there,
not forgottlng those fronting on Third ave
nue, that you may form some idea of the
huge stock enrried by this house stock that
is good, reliable and worth your money
Keystone Tickling and Preserving Works.
The vnlue and magnitude of this display
would take away your breath did you not
renllzo that their new plnnt covers over six
acres of floor space, which enables them to
turn out unlimited quantities of the deli
cious comestibles which go forth to all
countries with tho famillarbrand "Keystone
Pickling and Preserving Works" upon them,
a trado mark well and favorably known
everywhere where they have learned to
know their worth. You look at the artisti
cally arranged huge Jars of pickles, etc., and
admit their beauty, and tho chance is given
to sample them from a liberal standpoint,
nnd you find them even better to the taste
thnn "to eye, nnd when that is said the whole
ground Is covered. Tho II. J. Heinz Com
pany in e the prodncers nnd manufacturers
or pickles, preserves, fruit butters, mnstnrd.
vinegais nnd multitudinous sauces, and
have been awarded numerous medals there
for. Lamps and Superb China
Are shown by Cavitt & Pollock, at their
beautiful exhibit on north aisle. It is a
splendid collection or nil that Ik newest and
most fashionnble in lamps, dinner, brenk
fast, flh and chamber sets in pure white
and gold, of exceeding fineness; of cut glass
table ware that is so brilliant that it makes
your eyes blink when you look at it, never
theless yon keep gazing; bric-a-brac in'all
forms of bronze, bisque, and china, includ
ing the gems from Australia called Roj-al
Hannover, with Jnpaneso garden scats,
flower vases, and umbrella stands thrown
in ns side Issues. It would be impossible to
find a prettier or more attractive display in
the building thnn Just this one, nnd tho
beauty of it is, that while the things are so
iascinating to mo eve. iney are nearly all
for practical use, a fact which the visitors
appreciate and n sound reason for the ad
miration so lreely expressed for this partic
ular display.
An Art Drapery Exhibit
Is being shown at this time by Rosenbaum
& Co., at the very satisfying display near
center of main floor. isitors get a whole
scries of lessons about "what is what" by
carefully studying the points in these art
woik materials and completed articles in
the snmo category. To-day (Thursday) and
yesterday weie the two dates of the grand
"mtlllnory openjig" for this season, and it
would be a wnstjfof time to attempt to de
pict the size of tho crowds who w ent toNos.
510 to 18 Market street to "assist" at this
fashionablo event. This Arm proposes, ns
heretofore, to take and maintain the lead in
this line of goods. Novelties of many de
scriptions were shown in others than the
millinery department, such as wraps for
ladies nnd children, jackets for the same,
capes, and all sorts or handsome things in
the way of furs.
Lemonade, Only Rival of Popcorn.
The warm weathernf the past ten days has
created a furore lor lemonade. Baker's Iem
onnde, and it is one of the sightsof the Expo
sition to watch tho people standing five and
six deep for their chance to obtain some of
the refreshing beveraee. Even the numerous
stands belonging to Mr. Baker are taxed to
their utinoat to keep up with the demand.
The people drink that lemonade because it
is good. If it wore not, no matter what the
tcmperature.they w ould let it severely alone.
The popcorn is good, very good, and so nro
caramels, taffies and other candies.
Specialties In Iron Work.
In the present Exposition the opportunity
is attended to inspect the practical -valuable
manufactures or Taylor & Dean. The snow
here is principally of their wire products,
whioh are ofgrent variety andbeanty.bnt for
the big iron work it is necessary to go to the
warehouse, 201-3-3 Maiket street, where will
be shown the fire escapes, railings, cellar
doors, crestlngs, stair-cases, etc. Messrs.
Taylor and Dean invito you to call on them.
Mechanical Inventions.
The first exclamation of visitors to the an
nex, where the Oil Well Supply Co. has its
exhibit, is, "how can all these "tools and en
gines be used in drilling for ga., oil and
watert" Each tool and implement has Its
distinct use and purpose and is a necessity
in its way, from the powerful engines down
to the apparently insignificant valves.
Photographic Art,
As displayed by Mr. Dabbs in Art Gallery, is
something to view with satisfaction, and
this department is constantly surrounded
by interested spectators. The new processes
are wonderfully taking, especially the
"sepia," which permits such a perfect finish
and softness to be given to the work.
YESTERDAY'S UHEOETDNATES.
One Man Killed and Others Injured In Vari
ous Wars.
There was only one fatal accident yester
day. But several others of a serious nature
occurred. Below isthe list:
Cazak Nicholas Cnzak, 40 years of age,

STATE ASYLUM ABUSES.
The Board or Charities Will Now Take a
Hand In the Investigation.

Board of Public Charities wjll meet in this
city to-morrow to investigate the charges
recently preferred by tho Committee on
Lunacy against the management of the Har
risburg State Lunatic Hospital. The reports
of the trustees declare the chargo-t tobe ab
solutely unfounded. The Covinitteo on
Lunacy, however, reports that lu investiga
tion reveals the fact that the charges are all
true.
The board will now take a hand In the in
vestigation, and only sworn testimony will
bo admitted. Attorney General Hensel will
be present during the "investigation.
Little Criminal Business.
In Judge Kennedy's branch of the Criminal
Court yesterday John Killy and Charles N.

INSANITY ALSO ON THE INCREASE.

FIGURES FEOM THE HEALTH REPORTS
A court official states that Judge Ken
nedy was partially paralyzed the other day
by the length of the list of divorce applica
tions presented him, although His Honor
in years gone by has assisted in the un
haltering of a considerable number of
couples. There are others who view with
alarm the restlessness of some of those
whom God is popularly supposed to join to
gether. Clerk Harry Armstrong's explan
ation that it is owing to the use of natural
gas,fails at present, as people are getting in
a measure away from its use,in fact rapidly.
His theory was that the use of this fuel
relieved women of so much of the drudgery
to which they had been accustomed that
their animal spirits led captive their reason
and sense of moral responsibility and they
became discontented with the humdrum of
matrimony. Kdw that drudgery is again be
ing laid on them.
A STKANOE DESIRE TO GET DIVOP.CED.
Possibly it is their inability to accustom
themselves to the old order of things that is
the cause of the present rush to avoid hy
meneal responsibilities. It may be also that
it is only a temperary epidimio that will
come to an end as soon as tho dog-day
weather is over. Certain it is that no so
ciologist encountered so far has any explan
ation on hand that flts the case.
Prothonotnry Bradley has had his think
ing cap on for some time, trying to figure
out another problem that eludes his grasp
so far. He is at a lo-s to explain why so
many people are becoming insane. He ays
the malady is not confined to this country.
Ho lias been keeping an eye on the statistics
of a considerable part of the country and
finds that the increase is quite general. It
is probable that tho increase of tho mental
disease is caused by the high pressure
under which people are living. A modest
competence that would have satisfied most
families in tho first half of the century will
not now support a single individual in the
mannerin which his tastes dictate and many
minds are unbalanced in the attempt to
solve the problem of how to provide for
superfluities, not absolute comlorts. Gray
heads on 30-vcar-old shoulders are more com
mon nowadays than they were on those of
50 years, In the olden time, and the disease
often goes deeper thnn the head thatch.
VERY FEW" FOUNDLINGS REPORTED.
But amid all this the Bureau of Health
comes to tho front with the comforting as
surance that the number of foundlings 1
not increasing with the increase of popula
tion. It is true the record is not altogether
satisfactory for a reason that read'Iy pre
sents itself to all intelligent and thinking
people. The numberof foundlings reported
to the Bureau is only about 100 per annum in
a population of over 250,000. The record,
however, Is not absolutely reliable, as it is
notorious that midwives do not always fill
out the records as completely as reg
ular physicians do nnd County Com
missioner Boyle states that there
are many births in poverty stricken
localities that are never reported at all to
the Bureau, there being no physicians or
even midwives in attendance. Mr. Boyle
states that they discover this in the under
taking business, and frequently have much
trouble in getting burial certificates incon
sequence. Taken all in all, however, it would appeir
that the city's standing relative to the lat
ter case is quite good. The signs of moral
aecay are observable, but not yet very pro
nounced, not at least so much so as to cause
alarm.
