MTTSBUhG PHIL'S VARYING LUCK.
What a Court House Elevator Boy Called the
l'air Transcribers, and Why.
BDOIiT TALES FEOJI LIFE IX THE CITY
Among the scores of admiring visitors to
"the new postoffice yesterday were mauy
vell-kutvn Pittsburgeis, and after noon
the watchman at the door was removed, and
every respectable person who could look
the policeman on duty in the eye was ad
mitted. The postoffice department in the
building is near enough to completion to
court criticism, and very favorable it must
be, for the whole place is really as attract
ive as the fnyer and lobby of a first-class
theatre. The work of preparing the post
office for the start at midnight went on with
a rush all dav. It was astonishing with
what a will everyone hustled to get off with
the old love and on with the uev.Postmater
JIcKean is to be congratulated on havins
mch a cood force tor the new fort; and he
will be happy no doubt when the strain and
extra work caused bv the transfer have
parsed.
In the painting of the iron work within
the postoffice, the balustrades and pillars
that make the interior Irauie of the well,
the effect of the white and dark but bright
fchadc ot green, ib particnl.irlv happy. The
Stinting is not nearly finished, of course.
o such use of Tenceww marble has been
made i anv of our public or prhate build
ings as in the Federal building. The stairs
are all made of it and it is noteworthy that
the stairs are easy of a-ceut and not as olten
in public buildings, steep enough to tire
Goliath the wainscoting is trequently
Tennessee marble, and the corridors are
floored with it. It is not an exceptionally
lovely stone, the markings being indistinct
and the coloring vague, but it Has a soft and
rich effect all the same.
Pittsburg; Phil's 1'iirtnncs.
The stories told about Pittsburg rhiPs
great winnings are very pretty " said a
sport who had recently returned to this city
aller a long stay in New York, "and he has
won a pot of money in times past and again
this summer, but it would be just as well if
something were said of Pittsburg Phil's
losses now and again. Xow although Phil
lias been playing in luck this summer, and
his recent winnings on Cadmus alone
amounted to at least 575,090. yet I doubt
Jf he has recovered all he lost at Gutten
bnrg last winter; where the gang robbed
liim, a onlv theJuttenburg gang can, to
the time of many thousands "
"Do you think that Pittsburg Phil will
keep his money?"
"He can never go broke," was the sport's
reply," for he has invested 5200,000 in such
a way salted it down, you know that no
body can take it from" him. I think it is
luekv he has done this, for he is not so
likely to win now as he u-ed to be. Why?
Oh, because he don't trat his own wonder
ful knowledge of hor'. and his memory of
their performances, as he used to do. In
stead he takes tips from men about him,
many of whom lie has literally made, who
have got good clothes and diamonds, and
ihe means to live in firt-clas style by
IMril- generosity in the first place. That's
enough to queer a luckier man than Phil,
and I've told him so time and agaij."
A Libel on the Transcribers.
A young colored boy runs the elevator on
your right hand as you enter the Court
House. Xot long ago au attorney entered
this elevator with a view of going to the
room where a number of young women at
tend to the transcribing. The elevator boy
asked: "How furd'you war.' ter go, sail""
"To the transcribers' room do you know
where that is"" was the attorney'ys answer.
"'Deed I don't, sah but there's a lot of
transgressors up there."
The elevator bov's confusion of terms was
reported in due tim? to som of the fair
transcribers, and they accounted for it on
She ground tliat the boy's lather was a
preacher and talked a grea deal about
transgressors. The attorney on his way
clow n accosted the elevator boy with the
question: "You're a preacher, aren't you?"
The boy cast a withering glance at the
lawyer and said: "IV no preacher, but the
nl man messes around some!"
An Ominous Butterfly.
During the fourth innings of Tuesday's
Cincinnati versus Pittsburg game a big but
terfly, with brazen wings and a good deal of
"gall." soared and sailed saucily between
the plate and Catcher Harrington, while the
monstrous 1'iteher Crane fired unsolvable
conundrums under, over or anywhere but
on to the ineflectual bats of the Pirates. On
the bleachers the significance of this omen,
the gay and gilded butterfly's
flight over the plate, was much
discussed, and it had some effect on the bet
ting. A man with a cream-colored Derby,
a trifle dinted and dimmed, and a face to
match, insisted most strenuously that the
butterfly was a hoodoo for Pittsburg. His
view commanded attention because he
backed it up with a ?. bill, and this by way
of explanation: "That butterfly's Pitts
burg, and anvbudy know that butterflies is
crane's meat!"
This may not have been strictly accurate
natural history, but it was good enough
divination, lor that Pittsburg was Crane's
meat, sure enough, the game proved.
How to Pour Mottled Beer.
At dinner, not long ago, some gentlemen
who were sitting at tablewith HugoBlanck,
the noted chemist, observed that he exer
cised the greatct care in pouring outa glass
ofbeer. He tilted the bottle gently and
slowly, so that the liquid passed from the
bottle to the glass without the least dis
turbance, and when the glass was full it
had no collar of froth at all.
"I could have understood vour case," said
one, "if you had been drinking Eass' ale or
Guinness' stout, that go on a rampage if not
gingerly handled; but 1 confess 1 can't see
why you bother so much a glass of lager."
Ir. Blanch cast a kindly look of com
passion upon the'eriticand said: "I thought
every beer-drinker knew that it shouldbe
poured so as to avoid froth. Surely such a
simple, yet important fact is generillv
knoa-n. "o? I'm astonished. AVhy, if
yon pour out lager beer headlong into a
glass, allowing foam to fill half the meas
ure, you lose the best ingredient in the
beer," the invigorating, lively tonic car
bouic acid gas. Pour the beer slowly and
to," and Mr. Blanck illustrated iiis mean
ing by holding glass and bottle inclined
together, "and you retain the carbonic acid
gas in the been In the old country more
attention to this essential precaution is
jmid, but I thought everyone knew about
ji here, even if they overlooked its import
ance." It we news to four of the most eminent
beer drinkers in Pittsburg, who were Mr.
Ulanci's audience.

Temperance Leaders Ask the Churches to
ISring in the Drunkards.
A special meeting of the Allegheny
County AY. C T. A. was held yesterday in
the Sandusky street Baptist Church, Alle
gheny. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who has
been treating liquor patients with the
Keeley cure, was present and explained its
treatment, and to prove the efficacy of ths
method he agreed to treat any three patients
gratis that the Alliance wished to send.
Secretary Garbcr, of the AYorld's Cure
Company, was also present and spoke of the
attention paid to the morphine victims.
He introduced a patient whom he had cured.
The latter made a short address stnting that
he had become addicted to the use of mor
nhine. taking as much as GO grains a dav.
To cure this habit he resorted to whisky
and drank two quarts each day, but was un
able to check the morphine habit. He
placed himself uuder the AYorld's Cnre
Company, and is now free from the habit.
A committee of seven, with Mrs. Estepas
chairman, was appointed to investigate the
treatment and adopt some plan for having
patients treated. Mrs. Campbell urged that
every church take hold ot the matter, and
that" the pastors of the various churches
should find out the hard drinking members
of their congregations and persuade them to
take the gold treatment, or any treatment
that might affect a cure. It was decided
that a special department be instituted for
this work.
WANT THE B0AD OPENED.
Farmers Will Sue the Yalley Itoad to He
coier tile Old Turnpike.
An effort will be made to compel the
Allegheny Valley Railroad Company to
vacate and reopen that part of the old State
road which was confiscated by the company
at the time the tracks were laid. This por
tion lies between Brilliant and Verona, and
at a recent meeting of propcrtj- owners
along that section, an acconnt of which ap
peared in Tun Dispatch, it was decided
that Captain Boyd, one of the largest prop
erty holders, should bring suit against the
railroad company to compel hem to open
the pike
George Shiras, Jr., has charge of Captain
Boyd's case and will file the suit as soon as
the preliminaries are arranged, which will
be about a week or ten davs. It is thought
that, should the case be decided in favor of
Captain Bovd, the entire road would be
ordered to be reopened, but in case the de
cision should affect his frontage only the
other residents along the closed portion
will institute suits individually.

BY MARIA i'ARLOA.
For two thin sheets or one thick loaf of
take use one scant pint of flour, three gills of
fae granulated sugar, one gill of cold water,
three eggs, the juice of one lemon, a quarter
tf a teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls
tf Cleveland's Baking Powder. Beat the
whites of the eggs until stiff, and gradually
beat into them the sugar, then the yolks of
the eggs, next the" lemon juice and finally the
salt. Beat this mixture for ten minutes. Now
add the cold water and then the flour, in which
the baking powder should first be mixed.
Beat for two minutes; after which pour the
batter into well buttered pans and bake in a
moderate oven. If in one loaf it will require
forty-five minutes baking, but if in two pans,
twenty or twenty-five minutes will be enough.
Success depends upon the sugar being
beaten with the eggs for a long time.
(Copyright, 1891.)
Success is assured only when Clcve
land's bating powder is used.

For many years past it has been
the ambition of the foremost makers of
Men's Clothing in the country to pro
the ready-made article equal in all
respects to custom work.
A glance through our superb line
of Fall Overcoats will show you that
this has, at last, been accomplished.
We have this fall a line of these
useful garments to show you that has no
equal anywhere. Every new shade and
color is here, all the new wrinkles in
make and trim, and the fit absolutely
faultless.
The numberless materials offered
for selection are the very latest produc
tions ol the best makers in the world,
while the toniest tailors cannot improve
or add anything to the manner in which
they are made.
