Charles Starnowski. a Polish merchant,
was in the city yesterday on his way to
Chicago. He says the famine in Russia is
becoming worse every day and the Czar is
In mortal fear of a peasant revolt. The
people are slowly starving, though the
Government and charitable people in
Europe and America are doing a great deal
to relieve the suffering.
He states that the bad crops are due to
lack of cultivation of the lands. The peo
ple are naturally sluggish and their prop
erty is heavily taxed. The collectors show
little mercy and in the case of the poor
their horses and agricultural implements
are the first taken. This summer a
number of the peasant farmers were
without plows, and the lands were
not planted. In Poland the crops are fair,
but nothing unusual. A great many He
brews are leaving Russia and settling in the
Polish province. From what Mr. Stainow
fti says the Poles don't like it, and they
urge the Hebrews to continue to Germany
and the United States.
"I haven't much lovs for the Russians,"
said Mr. Btarnowski, "but the persecution
of the Hebrews is not as bad as reported.
The Government compels them to live in 16
provinces near our borders, and they are
not allowed to wander over the kingdom.
They must close their stores on Sunday, and
they don't like this very well. I see the
Hebrews claim that they are forced to trade
under laws that make it almost impossible
for them to sell their wares. This is not
true. They have the same business regula
tions that we have in their territory, but, of
course, they are limited to that section.
This prevents them from branching out, and
the most enterprising soon quit the country.
Some of the Hebrews and the starving
peasants want to go into Siberia to live,
but at this time of the year it is cold and
food is scarce. There are fertile spots in
the country, and during the summer it is a
delightful place to live in."
Dr. M. Shamosky, Counsellor to the Rus
sian Imperial Foreign Office, has been in
Mexico this summer. He is now on his way
to "Washington, and is expected to pass
through Pittsburg in a few davs. He claims
that Kennan's stories about Siberian prisons
are the baldest Kind of fairy tales. He says
the criminals are well treated, and instead
of putting them in penitentiaries as is done
in America, they are transported into Asia,
supplied with tools and land and arc com
pelled to earn their living. The doctor
has no fear of a peasant rebellion growing
out of the failure of the crops.
with the Alvin, and pronounced it the finest
theater in the country. He said, his house
would not be on such an elaborate scale, but
it would be comfortable and cozy. Mr. Hav
lin thinks Pittsburg is a bustling city, and
has enough theater-loving people to support
all the theatrical enterprises here.
EECKLESS SPECULATION.
This Is What Caused Ex-Fresldent Fon
seca's Downfall In Brazil. "
Rev. Lucian Lee Kinsolving, of Porto
Alegre, Brazil, registered at the Mononga
hela House last evening. He was one of
t,wo missionaries sent ont- to establish
cnurcnes in rsrazu lor the Episcopal de
nomination. He says he was very success
ful in his vork, and this evening he will
tell what was accomplished at St. Addrew's
Church.
Mr. Kinsolving left Brazil last August,
but the recent bloodless revolution did not
surprise him. He gever expected war, as
the average Brazilian is too lazy or indif
ferent to fight The trouble with ex-President
Fonseca's Government was caused by
reckless speculation. His Cabinet engaged
in childish and foolish projects, in which
large sums of money were spent, and they
nnany wrecsea xonseca. The people got
tired of the useless and extravagant expen
diture. Mr. Kinsolving thinks his succes
sor, who is a conservative man, will do
better.

Interpreter Soffel Training the New Com
mon Fleas Court Officials.
Court Interpreter Soffel, according to the
story told by Clerk Armstrong, has had a
herculean task on his shoulders during the
past two weeks, having been appointed to
discipline the officers of Common. Pleas Ho.
3, who are all new men at the bellows. It
is said that Commodore Cochran insisted
on the ancient formula winding up with
"God save this honorable court" and
Mr. McCall conld not get rid of the formula
he learned as an auctioneer, "Going, going,
gone!"
Mr. Soffel refused to talk, but Harry
Armstrong insists that Soflel's tribula
tion was greater then than when he at
tempted to reduce Texas steers to subjection
on the grasshopper-bitten plains of Kansas.
In this connectio.n it might be apropos
to state that a movement is on foot to in
crease the stipend of these ministers of
I justice. In Philadelphia they get as much
as 51,500 a year, while here they receive hut
?900. It isheld that the dignity requisite
to fill the posts cannot be supported on 900
a year.

Come
From 300 to 400 Theatrical People
and Go Here Everjr Weelc.
"With six regular play houses in town the
theatrical business has grown to be very
valuable to the railroads. From 300 to 400
people are carried in and out of the city
every week. The passenger agents have a
busy time wrestling with the managers, and
offering inducements to secure the traffic.
The Baltimore and Ohio made itself solid
with the profession several years ago,
and this line retains its prestige. "When
other roads refused to sell party tickets un
der the inter-State law, the Baltimore and
Ohio ignored the lawyers, and claimed their
interpretation of the act was not correct.
The Commission afterward sustained the
road, and the Baltimore and Ohio has al
wbvs offered thepartv rate.
This week the Baltimore and Ohio cap
tured the bulk of the theatrical business
coming and going. According to Division
Passenger Acent Smith's record his road
had Fanny Rice and her company, 21 peo
ple, to Columbus; "Williams & Orr's
Meteors, 23 in number, to Cincinnati;
Charles A Gardner's company to Akron,
and ten specialtv people from the World's
Museum to Philadelphia. Coming in the
Baltimore and Ohio will have Evans &
Hoey, 24 people, from Chicago; Robert
Mantell, from "Wheeling; 3farie "Wain
wright, 26 in number, from "Washington,
and the Howard Burlesque Company, 30
people, from New York. The Baltimore
and Ohio is certainly in it this week.
INSPECTED BANE SAFES.
TJnele Sam Sends a Commission to Pittsburg
for Information.
Prof. B. H. Thurston, of Cornell College,
returned to Ithaca last evening. He is on
a Government commission with T. X. Ely,
superintendent of the motive power for the
Pennsylvania road; and F. H. Pratt, a
Hartford business man, to examine safes
and vaults for the intended changes in the
Treasury Department The professor said
they inspected the vaults in the Fidelity
Title and Trust Company's building and in
the Farmers' Bank. Both places have the
same kind of depositories made out of
chilled steel. Mr. Thurston stated that
they were much pleased with what tliev
saw" The chilled steel vault is verv strong,
durable and not expensive. They have ex
amined the new globular safe, which is
made in Hartford. It will do well enough
for country bauks, where large safes are not
needed, but the arrangement wouldn't work
in the Treasury.
The professor added that thevhad no
recommendations at present to make. Sec
retary Foster expects them to visit the best
financial institutions in the country and
furnish the Government with the informa
tion gathered. As they are all busy men,
they take a trip when it is possible for
them to get together.
Organizing Chrysanthemum Societies.
It is said that one of the results of the
rage for chrysanthemums along the line of
the "West Penn Railroad, is that many
young ladies who have hitherto devoted
their enemies to the cultivation of poultry,
especially geese and ducks, have diverted
them to the culture of the flower, and the
late successful show has furnished an in
creased impetus. A society for the
promotion of the culture of the
afore-mentioned flower has been established
with its centers at Harmersville and Ches
wick. The business is said to pay largely,
and is so stimulating that lanes which here
tofore were redolent of dog fennel and jim
son (Jamestown) weed are now filled with
chrysanthemums, and the ladies of that sec
tion would put to flight ProC Guttenberg,

John A. Kobb's Dramatic Pose.
Only those who have witnessed Attorney
John S. Robb, Sr., in moments of supreme
and intense effort in the courts can appre
ciate the painting of his effort in the case of
Yee Tang, the Christianized Chinaman.now
doing time in the workhouse. Mr. Robb
was associated with "W. H. McGary in the
prosecution of the case, and McGary told
Robb that it was necessary to throw him
self, and they say Mr. Robb did so. Just
in this attitude Mr. Long caught his subject
in a rear view, and only, as stated before,
those who have seen Mr. Robb when
worked up can appreciate the portrait to
the full. So great is the hit that the artist
can scarce supply the demand for copies.
Several have been framed and one will be
hung in the Law Library room.
General Monroe Returns to the East.
General Ifelson Monroe, who has been in
Pittsburg for the past three weeks, lectur
ing before the Grand Army posts in this
city and vicinity on the pension laws, has
finished his work and will leave for the
East to-morrow. The General expressed
himself as being highly satisfied with his
reception. He said that owing to the death
of Governor Hovey, of Indiana, who was
Chainnan of the society under whose direc
tion he was making the tour, he would wind
up with lectures at Altoona and Harris
burg. Stock Brokers Go to Court.
Yesterday afternoon was the time set for
a hearing in the case of M. K. McMullcn
vs I. If. Richards and E. Merria for con
spiracy before Magistrate McKenna. This
is the same kind of a case which was en
tered before Alderman McMasters last
week, and after a hearing the defendants
were discharged. The case is one where the
defendants are alleged to have tampered
with stock returns. In this case the de
fendants waived a hearing and gave bail for
court
"Has the Fire Marshal the power to take
charge of a fire department whose operation
is clearly shown to be inefficient 1" is a
question that caused much discussion among
Allegheny Councilmen yesterday. The
question was raised by a Councilman who
said that members of the Board of TJnnder
wnters had unearthed an old statute which
provided that the Fire Marshal, under Jhe
Board of Underwriters, had the authority
to take charge if the authorities were con
sidered unfit for their positions.
The question was raised as a result of the
resolution introduced into Common Coun
cil Friday night, demanding that Chief
Murphy, of the Department of Public
Safety, see that harmony shall exist in the
Bnreau of Fire. The only action that can
result in harmony is the removal of Super
intendent Jones or Assistant Superintendent
Hunter, who are not on good terms. Chief
Murphy has the power, under the city char
ter, to remove either officer. It is claimed
by the reformers that Chief Murphy, should
it become necessary to make a change,
would remove the Superintendent and pro
mote Assistant Superintendent Hunter, who
is a brother of ex-President James Hunter,
of Common Council.
Can Take Charge of the Department.
"When some of the members of the Board
of Underwriters heard of these prospects
it is said they set to' work to find a plan to
retain Superintendent Jones, in whom they
have great confidence as a fireman. The
statutes were hastily examined and some of
them thought that what was wanted had
been found. Councilman Drum, who is
one of the oldest insurance men in the city,
said yesterday in regard to this search:
"It is a lontr time since I read the law
which applies to the Fire. Marshal, but I
recollect that he has been given wonderful
powers. The statute is very old, and T can
not give you the date of its passage or the
details. I know that provision is made for
the Board of Underwriters and the Fire
Marshal to take action if the city fire de
partment is shown to be inefficient
Major "William G. McCandless, President
of the Board of Underwriters, said last
night that no action had been taken by the
board as a body. He had not heard of the
statute that gave Fire Marshal so mnch
power that he could take charge of the fire
department
Offered the "Wrong Resolution.
Had one of the members of Common
Council been present at the meeting on Fri
day night the question as to whether or not
Superintendent Jones or Assistant Superin
tendent Hunter should be removed
would not have arisen. Instead of
the resolution that was presented, one
iiau iieeu prefiareu providing ior ine
abolishment of the office of Assistant Fire
Chief. It provided that Superintendent
Jones be empowered to select his assistants
at a fire from among the most efficient men
in his department This resolution may
yet be offered as a substitute if the law
spoken of by Captain Drum and other
members of the Board of Underwriters is
not found to cover the case as fully as it
should.
Crosby Prevents the Aches Through m
Metallo Combination.
A tired drummer leaned against the
counter of the Anderson yesterday, and com
plained that he had the rheumatism. "Why
don't you wear a ring like this," said Chief
Clerk Crosby, taking a little rim off his
finger that looked like polished steel. "I
dont't know what the ring is made of," he
continued, "but it certainly does the work
for me. I am always troubled more or less
with rheumatism, but since I have worn the
ring I haven't felt a twinge. It got too
large for my finger, and I had to send it to
New York to have it made smaller. It was
gone for a few days, but in that time I felt
the rheumatic pains. I have carried a buck
eye and small potato in my pockets ior
years, but they have no potency."
The drummer decided he would try the
ring. As this is bad weather for rheuma
tism, an old doctor suggests that oil of win
ter green is a very simple, but sure remedy
to relieve the aches. He condemns the
practice of wearing slippers during the win
ter. The cold air in the rooms sinks to the
floor, and the feet ought to be well pro
tected. He claims that many a foolish
woman has contracted consumption by lay
ing aside her shoes when she comes home
from shopping for a pair of dainty slippers.
The old doctor said he would like to see the
sale of slippers and low shoes suppressed
during the winter.
OBEATEB TEAK REPORTED.
More Victims of Hoard, the Fruit Tree Man,
Turn TJp.
L. L. Morris, one of the victims of the
fruit tree man who did up McKee's Rocks
people, called at The Dispatch office yes
terday and stated that the case had been
understated. Mr. Morris said the name the
man gave was "William G. Hourd instead
of Allison. Mr. Morris said Honrd is sup
posed to have gone away on a towboat, as
he was known to have been making over
tures to mariners. Hourd brought refer
ences from the Pittsburg, Ft "Wavne and
Chicago Railway and from the Marine Na
tional Bank, now supposed to have been
forged.
He had also been a conductor on- car No.
4 of the Pittsburg Traction Railway. Mr.
Morris, however, says that Hourd had one
vice he smoked whether tobies or Henry
Clays is not stated. He is described as being
6 feet 11 inches high, with black hair and
mustache, brunette complexion, sharp nose,
small eyes and was always well dressed and
had the general appearance of a gentlnman.
Mr. Morris, who was a much greater suf
ferer than at first reported, thinks that
Hourd is in Cincinnati.

All Through Trains Go Via Ellwood City
and Akron Next Spring.
President Mayer, of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and President Oliver, of the Pitts
burg and "Western, and their leading offi
cials left here in their various special cars
for Chicago over the new Baltimore and
Ohio through line the Pittsburg and "West
ern. The train made but one stop bflweeu
Pittsburg and Akron," and that was at Ell
wood City. Despite the drenching rain, the
pretty new town was visited, and its vari
ous industries inspected by the two Presi
dents and parties, who expressed themselves
well pleased.particularly with the beautiful
hotel.
Commencing with the spring schedule, all
thethroneh business of the Baltimore and
Ohio for Chicago and the "West will go via
this new route, and all trains will stop at
Ellwood City.
It rs rumored that an additional reason
for the interest shown in Ellwood lies in the
fact that the Pittsburg and "Western Rail
road shops will in the near future be re
moved to that place, but as to this the offi
cials of the Pittsburg Company owners of
the Ellwood properties and the officers of
the two railroads, now united, were equally
reticent.
The party also made a short stop at Ak
ron, and thence to Chicago.

Bethel Home Is Now Deserted.
The Bethel Home on Duquesne, way is
doing very little business just now.. The
recent rise in the rivers has taken with the
coalboats nearly all the roustabouts and
others who are usually to be found at the
Home. The place is as a rule filled every
night at this season of the year bv men who
have worked the lakes during the summer
and are making their way td the South to
spena tne winter months. They have all
secured work during the rise and will now
have a short season of prosperity. It is
seldom that persons who are truly specimens
of the genus tramp make their "appearance
at the home. The tramp, owing to the
stringent laws in most cities against
vagrancy, confines himself to the smaller
towns.
Allegheny's Ordinance Officer Brings Suit
Against Three Firms.
Ordinance Office? Barkley, of Allegheny,
yesterday made an information before
Mayor "Wyman, charging three Allegheny
contracting firms with a violation of a city
ordinance. The firms are Hasting Bros.,
Dougherty Bros, and Eynon & Little, and
their alleged offense has been a neglect to
"place danger lights in front of material
on the streets used in construction
of some of their work. It is said that they
were frequently notified, but, paying no at
tention to the order, prosecution was begun.
A hearing will be held to-morrow.
Officer Barkley stated yesterday that he
will probably enter a great many similar
suits that the law may be enforced. He
said he was tired of notifying persons who
pay no attention or respect to ordinances.
Clerk Ostermaler Encouraged.
Robert Ostermaier,Mayor Gourley's clerk,
is making persistent efforts for the position
of bank examiner, to be vacated by the
resignation of George Shepard. MfOster
maier is receiving the support of many in
fluential people, and yesterday got a letter
from Senator Quay calculated" to make him
feel quite easy as to his chances. Many
solid business men as well as politicians
have interested themselves in Mr. Ostcr
maier's candidacy.

MOVEMENTS OF THEATRICAL PEOPLE
McKinley's Style of Shaking Hands.
About the only objection people make to
Major McKinley personally is his manner
of shaking hands. He learned it in "Wash
ington, and the style is considered fashion
able, but the people don't like it The
Major holds his hand almost on a level with
his shoulder, and turns the palm toward the
sky. It is difficult to take hold, and only a
gentle grip can be given. The shake lacks
the hearty sincerity of the old-fashioned
ti ay, and raising the arm makes those who
meet him feel rather cheap. Strangers not
accustomed to the style grab for the hand
about the waist line, and they are surprised
when they miss it, and discover the pro
jecting finders of the Major a few feet
above. It is a good habit, however, for a
politician to cultivate to save his hand from
being crushed. Enthusiastic admirers can't
squeeze the life out of it, and this probably
provokes them.
Local Theaters Complimented.
John H. Havlin, the Cincinnati theatrical

"Of course it hurts, but you must grin

g-ven to persons troubled with rheumatism.
"If you will take the trouble to dampen a
Biece of flannel with Chamberlain's Pain
aim and bind it on over the seat of pain
your rheumatism will disappear," is the
modern and much more satisfactory advice.

KENSINGTON
People are flocking into the new city in such large
numbers that the 300 houses already built are not
sufficient to accommodate the steady increase in
population. Every house erected is occupied by
its owner and it is almost impossible to provide
for new comers. In the spring a large number of
the manufactories located will be in operation,
which will run the population into the thousands.
There is a grand chance for making money in
the building of dwellings or business houses at
Til
Some of the choicest lots for business and homes
are still for sale.
The most beautiful part of Kensington, lying
above the railroad, has just been graded. It is
naturally adapted for residences, having a slight
elevation, giving a delightful view of the new city
and surroundings. -It was specially reserved and
made ready for the better, class of houses. Many
inquiries were made by home seekers for lots in
this section before it was graded and streets
opened up, and we wish to acquaint such that
purchases can be made now.
A visit to Kensington can.be made profitable.
Free tickets given there and return.
Salesmen always on the ground.

This is a matter worthy of consideration by
builders or those who have money and want it
well invested.
The class of tenants will be skilled workmen
and command large salaries.
Houses can be sold or rented as fast as, built,
and the best prices can be obtained. To
the parties who go into the building of
houses at KENSINGTON in the right way, a
large and lucrative business can be made and the
money invested will be turned quickly and profit
ably. We would like to meet responsible builders
with a view of erecting houses at KENSINGTON,
and will give special inducements to those who
start building at once. It is necessary that 300
more houses should be ready before the coming
spring for the workmen who must live at
