-THE NEED OF BATHS,
Where Cleanliness Can Bo Secured
Without Money of Price.
A PAYING PUBLIC INVESTMENT.
-' Palatial Accommodations Are fcj Jo Means
a Necessary Feature.
INTERVIEWS OS TOPICS OP INTEREST
Public bathhonses find many ardent
supporters in Pittsburg, and there is talk
of an organized movement in favor of sueb.
institutions. A gentleman who is inter
ested in the plan said yesterday: "Palatial
buildings and equipments are not neces
sary. We care not what kind of provision
is made so Ions as it meets the approval of
the Health Department and provides the
means whereby a person who has not the
money to pay can secure a good bath.
That such places are an absolute neces
sity and would prove an inestimable boon
to the communitv there can be no doubt.
They would be a paying investment to the
city, inasmuch as they wonld be a potent
preventive of the spread of disease. I have
given the subject a great deal of attention
it late and have sought advice from medical
Mperts on points where I was at fault.
Every physician with whom I bave talked
has been heartilv in favor ot the establish
ment of public bathing houses. They tell
me that a man who keeps himself in a
cleanly condition is not half so susceptible
to contagieus disease as is the man whose
body is in a feverish condition in conse
quence of the pores of the skin 'being
tlosed bv dirt.
"It is a fact that many persons are in
reality filthy when they imagine that they
are clean. Because the skin is not black
and dirt is not apparent to the eye it does
not follow that a man is clean. Dirt grinds
right into the skin and may leave no ex
ternal indication of its presence.
Would Benefit tho "Wage-Worker.
"The patrons of public bathing houses
would be the middle and working classes.
Men who work in shops and factories all
dav can hardly afford the luxury of taking
a bath each night. They think they are
doing well if they pay out 25 cents a week
for such a purpose. It would be entirely
different if public bathing places were pro
vided by tne city, ne argument may De
raided at this time, as it has been in the
past, that men who do not keep themselves
clean under existing circumstances would
not do so even if there were public bathing
houses. I maintain that such is not the
sa.e.
"A man after he has removed the dust
and grime from his person feels like a new
beinr. He is lifted forthe time being to a
higher plane in life, and I should like very
much to see the man who would not like to
have this leeling everyday. Just stand at the
door of any barber shop in the city where
there are bath tnbs any Saturday night, and
notice the workingmcn as they go in and
watch the same men as they come out
They enter slowlv and apparently with no
fixed purpose. Xot so when they come out.
Their step is firm and elastic and" they move
fl as if in some strange manner they had
gained a new lease of life. This picture is
not in the leat overdrawn, and I think has
a direct bearing on the point at issue.
A Cnxnce for the Xewtboy.
"There is another class of beings who
would be benefited who at present, it might
be said, have tor a part of their composition
the dirt and grime which they gather up
during the day. I refer to the hundreds of
newsboys anil bootblacks that arc daily
seen upon our streets. How many times a
week do vou suppose they lay down 25
cents in order that they may keep clean?
It would be worse than nonsense to say that
thev would not take advantage of a public
bathing establishment. The difficulty in
this cae would be to keep them out of it.
"While some philanthropists are casting
about for objects on which to bestow their
.pare cash let them look into the public
bath question. They will never find a
place where their money will yield greater
returns in amount of good accomplished,
and the bathhouse will be an enduring mon
ument to their memory.
"It is an. impossibility to keep bath tubs
disinfected. For this reason I would recom
mend rain-baths. Let a large room or com
Eartments be built with perforated over
ead pipes from which the water would
111 like rain. Give each bather a piece of
soap and a towel and he could take a bath
in a remarkably short time. If it is desir
able to have swimming tanks the bather
might be permitted to go into them after he
has passed through the rain-room. This
would be my suggestion for winter, but for
summer let us have floating bathhouses."
POLITICAL UNION OF LABOB.
Dr. De Leon Will Lecture on a Kew Phase
of the Problem This Afternoon.
Dr. D. De Leon, formerly professor of in
ternational law in Columbia College, will
lecture this afternoon on labor and capital
in Sailer's HalL The Doctor arrived from
Xew York last evening and registered at
the St Charles Hotel. The Doctor says he
is a Socialist, but by the term he doesn't
mean what is commonly accepted for it.
He believes in a political union of labor in
fighting for its rights, and is opposed to the
use ot violence and force, which is anarchy.
"An irrepressible conflict between labor
aud canitai is pominp ' hft continnpH. "nnd
I want to see the workingmen prepared for
it.
I don't believe in bloodshed and depre-
cate any such idea as heinous. This is
anarch. The Anarchists advocate force as
the solution of the labor problem. Xovr
there are a great many more Socialists in
the United States than people imagine. In
the last election our candidate lor Gov
ernor in Xew York polled over 14,000
votes I think I can easily explain what
I mean by a political union of labor.
The Brotherhood of Engineers is composed
of the aristocrats among railway employes.
Chief Arthur lives in a palace in Cleveland.
The engineers show little sympathy lor
other railroad men in their troubles. But
the other day the engineers of Connecticut
had their waees reduced. Mr. Arthur
rushed over there, and told the men
not a to strike as there were 1,500 idle
engineers in the country waiting to take
their place-. This is a pretty state of
affairs. I ask of what consequence is the
brotherhood under such circumstances?
Capital is rapidly being centralized and
labor must do the same. The
unions must co-operate to be suc
cessful. In a similar manner the
Hebrew cloak makers in New York were
all powerful when they directed their
efforts against the little roach establish
ments, as they called them, one at a time,
but after the manufacturers joined hands
the cloak makers weren't in the fight and
they have been trampled on ever since."
PAYETTE COUNTY POLITIC!
John Doyle Reviews the Democratic Con
tests Up There.
John Boyle,, of Uniontown, son of the
late Judge Charles E. Boyle, was m Pitts
burg yesterday on legal business. Young
Boyle is an attorney and fell into the bulk
of "his father's practice. Besides being a
lawyer, Mr. Boyle is a politician. He says
there are 12 Democratic candidates for
SheriO of Fayette county and he believes
that the contest for the office will be de
cidedly lively. "The cleanest fight
in our county," Mr. Boyle said, "will
be for the Democratic nomination for
District Attorney. The fight now seems to
be between Cook McKean and George Jef
leries. Both are bright youug lawyers and
both are from the same end of the county.
McKean has much the best of the battle,
and I think he will be nominatad."
The Democrats of Fayette county, it is
I claimed, have buried to an extent the Boyle-
beangnt tactions tnat so otten contused tne
politics of the county, and a Democratic
nomination up there is now considered equal
to an election.
A POINT ON POLITICS.
T. Kirk White Tells Jnst Wht Pennsyl
vania Democrats Should Do for Gov
ernor Fattlson 3Ir. Harrity' Position
Discussed.
T. Kirk "White, of York, Pa., a staunch
supporter of Chauncey P. Black, and a
howling Cleveland Democrat, is stopping at
the Hotel Duquesne. He has been in Pitts
burg for a week. "I am prepared to talk
with you now." he said to a Dispatch re
porter last night. "I love politics, but I
never discuss the subject until my business
lis comnleted.
"I am for Cleveland heartily. He should J
be nominated, becsuse I think he can be
elected. I don't think any other candidate
is in it, but I also think "that unless the
Democrats of New York get together and
show some disposition to elect a President
Mr. Cleveland will certainly refuse to be
the paTty's candidate.
"The Democrats of New York, Indiana,
Connecticut, New Jersey and the South
should be allowed to name the Democratic
candidate for President. They must elect
the candidate whoever he is. The Pennsyl
vania Democrats should send a Pattison
delegation to the National Convention.
Twice he has carried the great Republican
State of Pennsylvania. Twice he has over
come the normal Republican majority of
60,000, and each time he has had to his
credit a larger majority than was overcome
by Governor Boies in either of his fights in
Iona.
Yet Governor Boies is a candidate for
President, Not because he is especially
fitted for the place; not because he has been
a great reform Governor like Pattison, but
because he has twice carried his Republican
State. His State wants him as the Presi
dental candidate, and his State will send a
delegation for him to the National Conven
tion. His Cabinet is satisfied with making
him conspicuous. Ther are uniting the
party in his support They are not dis
rupting their party by their own ambition
for power and place.
"Pennsylvania Democrats should take
their cne from little Iowa. There is not a
cleaner Democrat in the nation than Gov
ernor Eobert E. Pattison. He no doubt
could do what Cleveland has done, and
while Cleveland stands for all the prin
ciples of the Democratio party, he may not
be his party's candidate. Should any com
bination of men or circumstances prevent
Cleveland's nomination, what would be the
objection to Governor Pattison? As the
boys say, he would not be in it He wonld
'not be "in it' because his chief advisor and
the head of his Cabinet is against him. Mr.
Harrity, it seems, wants to ride on a more
popular wave.
"In this Mr. Harrity proves himself un
grateful. Governor "Pattison made him.
He became known in Philadelphia, because
away back in 1881 he was the Governor's
law partner. At the Governor's solicita
tion President Cleveland made him Post
master of Philadelphia, and at the Gov
ernor's pleasure he became Secretary of the
Commonwealth. To-day Mr. Harrity as
sumes to lead the Cleveland forces in this
State against Governor Pattison or any
other man. Mr. Harrity will go to the con
vention against his chief. He will inflict
his force upon the States that elect the
Democratic Presidents, yet Mr. Cleveland
is not as strong in Pennsylvania as is Gov
ernor Pattison,"

Too Many Local Visitors Who Insist on
Appropriating Talnahle Time.
It is related of a lady of quality in Eng
land, that she professed to be able fo tell
the length of any person's peerage by the
manner in which the owner took his or her
leave sfter a call, either on ceremony or
business. A Pittsburg lawyer complains
that a very large portion of peoplcin this,
countrv are hard to get rid of. He says
that after they have transacted business
they are almost certain to have a story to
tell or remarks to offer concerning the
gossip of the day, which, in a large majority
of cases is of no interest to the listener. He
states that he has worn the lining out of a
new overcoat this winter by the frequent
pulling of it on and off on pretense of
urgent business, as the only way he could
get rid of a client who was a bore was to
frame a decent pretext for leaving him to
scrutinize some dry law book,
"It jsn't safe," said he, "to leave a daily
paper where he can see it, as he is likely to
occupy himself until you come back, and
then your lie is not effective. These
nuisances are good people, but they have no
idea otthe value of any person's time except
their own, and the amount of valuable time
they cause to be lost cannot be computed.
I was born and raised in this county, and
have observed the amiable stupidity of
which I complain all my life. I cannot un
derstand it Pittsburg is more metropolitan
as to composition than any other inland
city in the Union, save Chicago, but you do
not notice this dawdling habit in other
large cities."

J
BUDGET OP, JUSTICE FR0JJ THE COURTS
The law of limited partnerships was dis
cussed at considerable length yesterday be
fore Judge Kennedy in the surety and de
sertion branch of the Quarter Sessions.
The first case called by Assistant District
Attorney Goehring was .that of Mrs. Ter
rence Murphy against her husband. At
torney O'Donnell explained on behalf
of Mr. Murphy that the case
had "been heard by Judge Porter
and thrown out of court Mr. O'Donnell
also stated that Mrs. Murphy had refused
to live with her husband under any circum
stances, but her attorney retorted that she
could not safely attempt it on account of
her husband's violent disposition. The as
sets of this partnership, limited, are a boy
and a girl, and Mr. O'Donnell states that
the father had made provision to have the
boy educated al St Vincent's College and
the girl at some other school. Judge Ken
nedy said he would continue the case and
allow Judge Porter to dispose of it
Tonne I-ove Pnt on Short Rations.
Jennie Marshall, a 17-year-old wife, de
posed that her husband, James E. Marshall,
had contributed only $1 25 for her support
since August, and that she has since then
been living with her mother on the upper
Southside. They have a pledge of affection
15 months old, and Mrs. Marshall was a
bride at 15. James in defense, said he
worked when he could get employment, and
was willing to eive his wife a home if
she would live with him. He told
a hard luck story stating that he had taken
a contract to pump an oil well on the
shares and his return was but $48 for three
months work. He stated also that a short
time previous to his retirement he had been
working as a motorman on a street railway
but could not get steady employment. The
Court informed Mrs. " Marshall that she
could not recover maintainance from her
husband unless she would live with him
and the case began to look dark for her,
when her attorney slipped inside the bar
and whispered a story in Judge Kennedy's
ear which turned the tide in her favor. It
was to the effect that her husband's conduct
had endangered her life. Mr. Marshall
was informed that he must find ample
security to assure Mrs. Marshall one-third
of his earnings.
Mary Rice was on hand, but her hnsband,
John, was not and his recognizance was
forfeited. ,
Thought He Had Paid Enough.
The contract between Thomas Thompson
and Emma Richards was not under seal, and
though such contracts are not regarded in
law as sacredly as those that are, yet they
are fully as binding, if. not more so, for a
term of' years, than those that are. In this
case, in addition to other penalties,-Thomas
was sentenced, in June last to pay Emma $2
a week for five years. The child is now
dead and Emma sets forth that Thomas has
not-liquidated funeral expenses. Mr. "Wise,
of "Wise & Minor, for Thomas, contended
that the provision of S2 a week by the
court was for the purpose of preventing the
saddling of the keeping of the child on the
public and that as it had died the engage
ment had terminated. He asked for a rule
to effectuate his views. The Court seemed
inclined to admit the reasoning, but took
the matter under advisement.
The case of Ralph Keib was of the same
kind, with circumstances differing slightly.
He had been sentenced in 1887 to'pay 5100.
and Si a week until further order of court.
Since then Mr. Keib's limited partner has
married, and his attorney, "W. J. Brennen,
thought the ordinary period of five years
shonld be shortened thereby. The Court
would not immediately dispose of the case,
but granted a rule to show cause why the
order should not be revoked.
There were about a dozen other cases
called, but the parties interested did not
respond, and the wheels of the naturaliza
tion mill were set in motion to allow some
aliens to tell how much they were attached
to the Constitution ot the United States.
Squabble Over an Oil "Well.
J. W. McFarland yesterday filed a bill in
equity against John S. Wilson. It is stated
that "Wilson owned a one-half interest in a
leasehold and oil well at McDonald. On
November 18, 1891, he agreed to sell one
half of his interest, or one-quarfer of the
whole, .to McFarland for 51,150. The
money was paid, and the deed of assign
ment made out by S. U. Trent, "Wilson's
attorney. Wilson, however, afterward
ordered the attorney not to deliver to
McFarland the deed, and now refuses to
make the transfer. The court is asked to
compel "Wilson to turn over the interest to
McFarland, restrain him from disposing of
it to any one else, and to account for the
oil obtained since the date of the alleged
purchase.
One of the Stnrgeon Cases Revived.
Mrs. Wilhelmina Bruge, of Etnaborough,
through her attorney, Joseph H. Friedman,
yesterday entered suit against H. Fred
Bleil for 510,000 damages for the death of
her husband, Heinrich Bruge, who died May
19, 1891. Bleil, it is stated, keeps a grocery
in Etna. On May 16, 1891, three days be
fore hftr husband's death, Mrs. Bruge savs,
she bought some smoked sturgeon at Bleil's
store. Her husband ate some of it for sup
per that night and became very sick, show
ing symptoms of having been poisoned. He
died on the 19th. It is alleged that Bleil
sold, and permitted his employes to sell
the fish, knowing it to be diseased, poison
ous and unfit for use. In consequence she
wants, damages.

His Fame Is Widespread.
Kennedy's restaurant at No. 2 Sixth
street is popular among shoppers and ladies
generally who wish to get a nice lunch while
downtown. Kennedy's fame as a caterer is
widespread, and there are no weddings of
note or social gatherings that he is not
called upon to serve. His name adds so
much to affairs of this kind that it is the
proper thing to secure his services.

'1SKER LAW DEFERS.

Studying the Measure. '
BREMEN PROPOSES A NEW PLAN.'
He Thinks Political Parties Should Relieve
Election Officers. I'
MISTAKE 0P A TRANSCRIBING CLERK
As it texpected that the insane asylums
must be enlarged when the Baker ballot
law goes into effect, a convention was held
in the Clerk of Courts' office yesterday ait
ernoon for the suggestion of a remedy for
the confusion that disarranges the mentality
of election officers even under the present
system of registration of voters. A
number of addresses were made', bnt
the only suggestive ones were
those of "W. J. Brennen, Clerk of
Courts McGunnegle and Captain Dalgleish.,
The latter thought the Baker law shonld.'be.
repealed, and all agreed that it was yery"
cumbersome, and that arrangements to carry
it into effect would be very expensive, and'
it isn't much of an improvement anyhow,
but as it is not likely to be repealed, and
the expense must be incurred anyhow, be
fore the next Xegislaturo meets, Captain
Dalgleish was ruled out of order.
Mr. Brennen suggested that as most of
the trouble at present came from the mak
ing of defective affidavits, that the duty of
filling out blanks shonld not be lati) on
election officials, especially in view of the
fact that even judges of the courts might
find the present blanks difficult to fill cor
rectly without the experience gained by a
clerk in regular business of this sort.
The Parties to he Responsible.
Mr. Brennen proposes that the dutyof
filling out the blanks he imposed on the
political parties. Each could have a man
for the purpose and the voter after his paper
had been made out could then go before the
Judge of Election and swear to it. If it
were defective his party would suffer. He
said that under the present arrangement,
the time of the election officia'a was some
times taken-up to an extent that interfered
with the proper conduct of elections.
He thought that as the (State
first provided that the register
make an effort to find and register the
voters, and then gave the latter the further
chance of going on a stipulated day to a
certain place in . each election district to
make certain of his registration, it was ask
ing too much ot election officers that.thej
shonld be the victims of all voters' negli
gence. He held that parties Jbat wanted
their votes cast would insure a correct fill
ing out ot the affidavit blanks if the duty
were laid uponhem.
D. K. McGunnegle thought the best plan
of all would be to require each voter to
present himself for -registration 60 davs be
fore election, and- in default, be debarred
the privilege of voting at all. This, he
said, would accomplish all that the affidavit
did, as if the voter did not make clear his
right to vote to the satisfaction of the regis
trar there would be no further controversy
A Supposed Defect In the law.
A dispatch received from Harrisbure
yesterdaj said: A comparison of the Baker
oauot oui, as agreea upon in conference
committee of the House- and Senate, with
the same bill as transcribed and signed by
the presiding officers of Senate and House
and the Governor, shows that a very mate
rial error crept into the twenty-fourth sec
tion. "This section -as originally passed read
that 'each voter's name shall be checked
on the voting check list by the officer hav
ing charge thereof as soon as he. has cast
his vote,' but the transcribing clerk in
serted a- 'not, making It read 'each voter's
name shall not be checked, etc The'
law has been printed as it was signed,
with the 'not' in it, but it is not supposed
that it will affect matters, as polling of
ficers arc expected to keep check lists and
check off voters to prevent repeating." "

Chamberlain & Co.
From the Clinton Co. Advertiser, Lyons, Iowa. J
It was the good fortune of a represen
tative of this paper to visit the laboratory
of thjsen tern rising firm at Des Moines one
day this week. It occupies four floors of a
double building and employs 65 bands in
the different departments, which includes
the compounding of the different iprepara
tions, bottling, packing, shipping and
E noting. In the latter department they
ave a finely equipped printing office, with
hajf a dozen presses, which are kept nearly
constantly in operation printing labels and
different kinds of advertising matter.
Their laboratory is especially busy at this
time as Chamberlain's Cough ' Eemedy
which they manufacture has proven a
splendid remedy for the grip, and in all
cases greatly relieves the patient after tak
ing One or two doses, while 'its continued
use will effect a complete cure. 50 'cent

The Shipment Of
Fifty cases of "Holmes Best" and 25 bar-
L rels of 188G Holmes' Millsboro pure rve
whisky during the month of January to
London, England, by the ,Wml H". Holmes
Co. is an excellent illustration of the fame
and popularity acquired by our Mononga
hela Valley pure rye whiskies. In prepar
ing the Holmes' Best for shipments of this
kind every case is carefully packed by an
ingenious packer patented by Mr. Holmes
some years since and used exclusivelyby
this Ijouse. Since using this packer,
in the past five years, not a sin
gle bottle has been broken. Another
precaution in long distance shipments used
by this firm only, is securely fastening each
corner of the box by steel clamps and affix
ing iron handles to each end of the case,
thereby making the same easy to handle
and thus greatly helping to assnre safe de
livery ot same at destination. Holmes'
Best is too valuable a whisky to take any
chances on for breakage, therefore all these
precautions are taken and the value of these
precautionary measures are shown daily in
the large shipments of "Holmes' Best" all
over the country, from Maine to California.
