MEN OF MANY MINDS.
Talks With the People on Topics of
Current Interest.
THE NEED OF A NAVAL RESERVE.
George A. Sellv Outlines the TVork of the
Shipping Leacne.
AFBAID OF THE TRESEXT COSGRESS
George A. Kelly, the -wholesale druggist,
is the Pennsylvania Vice President of the
American Shipping League. He is one of
the few men in Pittsburg who take an
active interest in the -work of promoting
the merchant marine and protecting the
home ship-building industry. The associa
tion has not done anything for some time,
and recently it was reorganized. "With the
opening of Congress the lcagua usually be
gins to hustle, but so far the results have
not been very satisfactory.
In speaking of their programme yester
dav, Mr. Kelly said: "What can we hope
to accomplish with a Democratic House,
governed by the financial policy that they
have outlined' All that we can do is to
watch legislation, and try to prevent the
paage of the free ship bill, which would
nullify all the work we have cone. One of
our objects is to protect shipbuilding, and
if people went abroad to buy their vessels
the industry would naturally die out at
home.
TThere American Ships Aro TJaed.
"At present the coastwise trade is carried
only in American bottom, but I sup
pose a free ship bill would hand this
business over to the army of foreigners who
are now carrying the traffic from this coun
irv to other lands. The only American
sailors we have are the men trained in the
coat service. In case of war we would
certainly be in bad shape for lack of men
to handle the -v essels. The league is push
ing the naal reserve bill, which aims to
rectifv this evik
"A'number of the States, however, have
made provision for the training of sailors,
but the reserve law is intended tojnake the
work national in its scope. Xew York,
Pennsylvania and I think JCew Jersey have
established training ships in which boys
are given a nautical education. A Sew
York man told me a short time
ago, and it surprised me very much, that
some of the best people in the city are
taking as much interest in the marine serv
ice as they do in the militia. You know
what a fine organization the Seventh Regi
ment is? "Welkthe marines are fast attaining
the same high standing.
A Itesult of Urn TTar Talk.
"I don't know whether the Chilean affair
has had anything to do in stirring up in
terest in the marine service or not. I am
glad to see, howeer, that the people take
kindly to the navy. The militia is in good
condition all over the country, and there is
no reason hy sailors should not be trained.
In case of war both land and naval forcei
would be needed.
"Kecently some Congressman asked for
information in the House about the mail
subsidy bill ith a view of having the law
repealed. It was passed in the last Con
gress, and has scarcely gone into effect.
We are not given an opportunity to see how
the law will operate before we have to fight
efforts to repeal it. The league advocates
Fnbsidizincr American ship, and we think
that the mail subsidy will do a great deal of
good. It is too bad that our merchant
marine has been allowed to decline through
neglect The league is prepared to defend
v hat has been accomplished, and to hope
for more liberal shipping lawi and better
thing6 in the future."
XICEXSE COURT PLATfS.
Th Organization of North&tde Dealers
Preparing to Take an Active Fart Tho
View of n Member or tho -Aoclstlon.
The Xorthside Liquor Protective Associa
tion is preparing to take active part in the
next License Court. Attorney Christy is
not to be given a monopoly of the business
as grout objector. His rival will be Detec
tive Hesser, who is devoting all his time at
prwnt in collecting evidence with regard
to Allegheny applicants lor liquor privi
lejes. Old dealers who have not lived up
to the law during the year will find them
selves confronted with all their sins when
they come up for examination, while new
applicants with a shady past will be called
upon to explain how thoroughly they have
reformed.
In speaking of the work that is being
done, a member of the association last night
said. "Mr. Hesser has been instructed to
find out all he can about applicants for
liquor license, and oppose those who are
undeserving. Members of the association
are not to be exempted in the least, but as
there are none but the most careful dealers
in the association, there will be little it any
evidence brought in court against them.
Our instructions to Mr. Hesser are that he
shall make caretnl inquiry into the charac
ter of new applicants, find out the nature of
the places they would probably run, and
whether or not they are fit persons to have
license, in snort, ne is to get all lnlorma
tion possible with regard to all applicants
and lav it before the court in wnatever
manner it is decided to receive it.
"Since the license fee has been raised to
(1,000 the legitimate dealers cannot afford
to have trade taken away by unscrupulous
people who sell poor liquor'and have little
expense. "We want all to keep open the
same hours, maintain good bars and seek
trade on an equal footing. That cannot be
done in a small room removed from the
business of the city, unless the Sunday or
closing laws are violated, and in order to
prevent such violation the easiest method
is to prevent certain applicants from getting
license.
"The association, through Detective
Hesser, has been instrumental in driving
out almost every speak-easy in Allegheny.
The liquor dealers who, through choice,
would not obey the laws are compelled to
by our detective, aud in every way the
business has been improved. The as'socia
tion in Pittsburg is patterned after ours,
and I understand will adopt the same course
in license court. 'JLhey have not been
established long enough to get information
as thoroughly as we have, but will get as
much evidence as possible and be in line to
have the entire situation m hand aain
another year. It has not been definitely
decided what course will be taken with re
gard to the clubs. Xothmg -will be done
until after licenses are granted. There is
no doubt that the clubs injure the liquor
business, but there are some that it would
not be right to force to close, and it is hard
to draw the line."
"Will Handle Thronjh Business.
"W. B. Johnston, the agent of the "Wells
Fargo Express Company, said yesterday
that he had jnt signed a lease on the present
office for tio years more, and that they
would continue to handle through business
only out of Pittsburg. He said he hadn't
been notified that the United States Express
Company had made a contract with the
Pittsburg and "Western, but the General
Superintendent of the company says it has
been done. The "Wells-Fargo will give up
its local traffic, bnt in other respects the
new deal will not interfere with their busi
ness. No further information about the
change could be obtained at the office of the
United States Company. J. D. Zimmer
man, the agent, said Ije expected to know
all the facts in a few days.
To Bo Closed for Two Months.
Mr. Kowan, of Anderson & Kowan, pro
prietors of the Central Hotel, returned yes
terday from Grand Eapids, where he bought
new furniture for the house. The hotel will
be closed March 1, when the building will
be renovated. Kearly all the contracts for
the painting, papering, etc, have been let.
Mr. Rowan said he thought all the improve
ments would be made in two months. He
decided to close the hotel for that length of
time, as it would be unsatisfactory to the
guests and workmen. The office will be re
modeled and enlarged. Mr. Rowan says
the hotel will be in first-class order when ie
gets through with it. He remarked that it
was very cold while he was in Grand Rap
ids, and he was surprised to find the weather
so warm here on his return.
McKlnlcj In a. Dilemma.
S. K. Donnavan, a Colnmbus politician,
passed through the city last evening bound
for "Washington. During the last campaign
he edited the plate matter for the Demo
cratic State Committee. He says he hasn't
seencx-GovernorCampbellforsometime,and
he doesn't know whether he can hand over
the State delegation to Cleveland or not.
He says Governor McKinley is having a
hot time at present. The Governor left lor
Canton yesterday, and Mr. Donnavan
thinks he'was glad to get away from Colum
bus for a few days.
Expects a Bash of Forclcner.
R. K. Layton, the Immigrant Agent, was
at the Union depot last evening He says
at present the influx of foreigners is very
light, but as soon as the warm weather be
gins, he expects a rush that will break all
previous records. Mr. Layton added that
the only way he couldgaccount for the large
number of foreigners coming to America
was that the immigration laws are such as
to make them anxious to get here, and they
are afraid if they wait much longer that a
bill will be passed excluding them alto
gether. LENTEN BEGULATIONS MODIFIED.
Persons Afflicted With Grip Allowed the
Use of Meat.
A special decree for fasting during the
Lenten season has just been received in this
country from Rome, where it has been ar
ranged by the cardinal members to the
second congregation of the general inquisi
tion. The special announcement relates to
those who are afflicted with the grip, and re
lieves them from the stringent restrictions
enjoined on all members of the church dur
ing the Lenten season.
In this permission granted to be allowed
to eat meat the right to use stimulants is
also permitted as a means of nourishment to
strengthen the system. This is only allowed
when it is absolutely necessary. During
Lent the use of meat is allowed once a day
and on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays,
but on neither of these days is it permitted
to use flesh and fish together.

STORIES OP MARITAL TROUBLES..
The Particular Features Which Made Mar

BUSINESS OF THE COUXTT COURTS

by her next friend, Joseph Beith, against
Edward F. Hughes. They were married
March 28, 1878, and separated February 11,

VICTOR? FOR M'CANDLESS.
The Kx-Sherlff Wins a Snlt or Lone Standing;
The Decision of tho Conrt Very Im
portant From a Thecal Standpoint.
Judge Single yesterday handed down an
opinion in the Court of Common Pleas No.
1, which will be of the greatest interest to
mill owners and manufacturers in general,
as well as the Sheriffs of the county. If
sustained by the Supreme Court, it will
compel mill owners when calling for depu
ties to keep the peace in order that they
might conduct their works in time of
strikes, to pay the hire of additional
deputies employed by the county for that
purpose.
The opinion is a lengthy one, and is on a
question of law reserved. The case in which
the deliverance of the court was made was
that of Ex-Sherifi A. JE. McCandless versus
the Allegheny and Bessemer Steel "Works.
The suit was brought to recover 54,000 for
the services of deputy sheriffs who did duty
at Duquesne while the strike of 18S8 was in
progress at the works of the defendant
company. Sheriff McCandless supplied a
large force of deputies to keep order at
Duquesne, and especially in and about the
property of the steel works. He paid the
hire of these deputies out of his
own pocket, as well as the rail
road fares to and from Duquesne.
When the strike was declared
off by the mill workers, and there was
no further necessity for the deputies, the
Sheriff recalled his men. and after iisTim
them presented his bill to the defendant
company for the sum mentioned. The com
pany, the Sheriff claimed, had promised to
pay the expenses of the deputies, and while
it djd not deny that it had conditionally
promised to do so, it refused to pay the
Sheriff on the ground that such a contract
would be contrary to public policy and in
opposition to the old Enslish law that it
was the Sheriff's duty always to maintain
order. Sheriff McCandless then brought
suit, and it was tried before Judge Slagle.
He left the question as to whether thede
fendaut company had entered into a con
tract to pay the Sheriff for the expense of
the deputies and reserved the question as
to whether the contract was against public
policy. The jury found for the Sheriff.
Judge Slagle this morning decided the
reserved question also in favor of the
Sheriff.
Judge Slagle, in his opinion, finds there
are good grounds for apprehension that
unless peace officers were on the grounds of
the company, in that vicinity, during that
strike that there would exist great danger
to life and property, and that under those
circumstances it was in accordance with
public policy that such a contract should be
made. He orders judgment to be recorded
in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of
the verdict.
The opinion is regarded a most important
one, and settles the question as to the lia
bility of corporations or individuals for the
expenses incident to riots and striker, when
they demand the protection of the Sheriff
and agree to pay for the protection thus
aflorded.
Tho Library Hall Salt.
J. F. Hudson, president of the Pittsburg
Library Association, yesterday filed the
answer of the association to the suit
brought against it by the Mercantile Li
brary Hall Company to recover rent. In
the answer it is recited that the plaintiff
company was incorporated to erect a build
ing for the use of the defendant. The lat
ter was financially embarrassed, and there
was a verbal agreement that the defendant
was only to pay what they could spare from
their revenues. They were embarrassed,
however, and were wholly released from
payment of what dues had become due. In
1885 it was agreed that the defendants were
to 6c rent free on account"bf taking some of
their quarters for more room for Home &
Co. and for the Bijou Theater entrance.
This agreement continued in force until
January, 1891, and, it is asserted, nothing
is owing.
Sne for the Interest, Too.
Booth & Flinn entered suit yesterday
against the city to recover $78,367, with in
terest from.May 11, 1891, an amount claimed
to be due for the grading, paving and curb
ing of South Twenty-eighth street from
East Carson to Jane streets.

Damages
Clalmad for AllecedTali o
Ar-
rest and Persecution.' -
Joseph Goldberg yesterday entered suit
against Alderman J. A. Donovan of the
Ninth ward for 510,000 damages. A capias,
was issued for the arrest of the defendant.
Goldberg states that in December 4, 1891,
Alderman Donovan, on oath of Joseph
Gaslausky, issued a warrant for his arrest
on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was
arrested and a hearing set' for December 5.
He was given no chance to secure bail, and
the Alderman directed the officer not
to permit him to get bail. He was
taken to jail, and, P. B. Beillv went
before Alderman Gripp and went his bail
for him. Alderman Donovan, however, re
fused to accept this bond and would not
issue a release. He, however, accepted
Reilly as bail on giving the bond before him
but even then, it is charged, he would not
release Goldberg.
On the day fixed Goldberg was given a
hearing, but he charges he was deprived of
representation. The Alderman would not
let him or his attorney see the information
and would not hear witnesses in his behalf,
finally fining him 510 and costs or ten days
to jail. He also charges that Alderman
Donovan caused the information to be
made against him solely for the purpose of
harassing and annoying him.

CAUSED BY COLLISION.
Professor Keeler, of the Observatory,
. Tells of the New Star.
STKANGE MAMEK OF DISCOVERY:
The Honor Belongf to a Scotchman
Withholds Ilis Name.
Who
JIARDLT VISIBLE TO TR3 KAKBD EIE
The new star in Auriga continues with
such brightness. as to make it appear to
accord Mith the idea that it is a variable of
lortg period. The later spectroscopic ob
servations have seemed to favor this idea
ratherthan that which was first entertained,
that the new star was the result of a col
lision. It is Btill possible, however, that
the increase of brightness observed may
haye been the result of the falling into the
star of another mass of meteors.
The discovery of the star was made by
some anonymous party in Scotland, who
sent the result of his observations on a
postal card to Prof. Cppeland, Astronomer
lloyal for Scotland. On the card was the
simple message:
"Nova in Auriga. In Milky Way, about
2 south of Chi Aurigae, preceding Aurigae.
Fifth magnitude, slightly brighter than
Chi."
Prof. Copeland states in an article in an
Edinburgh paper that his star charts and
catalogues showed no object of any size near
the spot indicated. He waited impatiently
for darkness to ascertain whether his un
known correspondent was a dreamer or in
reality the discoverer of a star that had es
caped the notice ot astronomers.
Just Visible to the Naked Eye.
"By a few minutes past 6," the Professor
continues, "an opera glass revealed the
presence of an unknown star about
5) magnitude, or just visible to the
naked eye, in the place indi
cated. The almanac showed that it was not
a planet. There then remained only the
spectroscopic test. Slowly the somewhat un
gainly appliances at Canon ma were
brought into position and at last the tiny
prism did the work. The spectrum of the
stranger seems closely to resemble that of
the new stars of 1866 and 1876 bright
hydrogen lines in the red and blue; brizht
carbon bands in the green; bright sodium in
the yellow. This much can be seen at once
with imperfect appliances."
,.The next day Prof. Copeland tele
graphed the discovery of his anony
mous writer to astronomers all over
the world. Director Keeler, of the
Allegheny Observatory, was one of the
first to receive the news, but on account of
the cloudy weather and Pittsburg smoke
shutting out all observation, he has not yet
clearly seen the visitor among the heavenly
bodies. In speaking of it yesterday, he
said:
"The new star, I think, has been caused
by collision. That is, however, only sup
position. It is possible that it was formerly
covered with a crust that in some disturb
ance was broken and flew oft into space,
leaving the molten interior visible to
astronomers. Such occurrences are com
mon. The outside of a body becomes chilled
and losing its brilliancy cannot be seen.
Heralded as a New Body.
t If then the crust is broken by any disturb
ance, the star can be seen and is heralded as
a new body, when in reality it may have
been occupying the same position for thou
sands of years.
"Th new star occupies at 8 o'clock a
position a little south of overhead. It
would ordinarily be easily seen, but in the
.United States it has been cloudy during the
'last ten days, and I do hot Know of airy
place where the"star has been seen. Even
lrpm the extreme height of the Lick Ob
servatory it had not a day or so ago been
visible. It is not usually more cloudy here
than at other places, but the smoke very
greatly interferes with observations. It has
been getting worse lately with the increase
bf the use of coal. The observatory here is
a great deal higher than the city, but still
the smoke reaches us, and goes far overhead
to cloud the view.
"The new star has no connection with any
other recent occurrences in astronomy,
continued tne rotessor, in answer to a
question. "It i.s out of our system trillions
of miles and could not be influenced by
either the sun spot or the conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus. Notwithstanding all
the talk of astrologers, there has been noth
ing unusual in astronomy recently except
the appearance of the new star. The sun
spot was expected, and, as is nearly always
the case, the aurora followed.
The Aurora and San Spots.
"I see that a writer in The Dispatch
claims there is no connection between the
aurora and sun spots. In his statement he
contradicts the opinion of nearly all astron
omers. I have also seen it claimed that the
conjunction ot Jupiter and Venus caused
the sun spot. From the fact that both
occurrences were expected, there is no
reason to believe that one had any relation
to the other.
"I am anxious to see the new star and am
watching closely tor it. The manner of its
discovery was somewhat singular and is
interesting tastronomers all over the .world.
It is strange no one comes forward to claim
the authorship of the card sent to Prof.
Copeland. Usually in such cases there are
plenty of claimants for the glory, and it is
probable that a number will appear on the
surlace in this case.

AHOTHEB OAKDALE B0BBZB7.
A Larch Quantity of Goods Stolen and Be
" covered Testerday.
The Oakridge Coal Company's store at
Oakdale, on the Pandandle railroad, was en
tered by thieves early yestejday-morning.
The safe was blown open, but there was no
money in it A large quantity of drygoods,
boots and shoes, groceries and tobacco and
cigars were stolen. The thieves entered the
store through a window.
Two men were discovered at Kaccoon
bridge, near Burgettstown, just after day
light yesterday morning. An officer on a
passing train saw them. The train was
stopped, but the men quickly disappeared,
leaving behind them two large sacks filled
with the plunder taken from the Oakdale
store. The goods weie returned to the
store and were identified.
The people of Oakdale are thoroughly
alarmed at the many efforts at robbery re
cently made there. A vigilance committee
is being talked of.
THE ADJUTANT VINDICATED.
A Court of Inquiry Finds Charles
Reese
Innocent of Insolence.
The verdict of the Court of Inquiry ap
pointed to investigate the conduct of
Adjutant Charles Beese, of the Eighteenth
Ecgiment, at Camp Kensington on the date
of August 10, 1891, has just been forwarded
to Pittsburg and is a complete vindication
of the accused officer. The verdict says
that "the conclusion of the court is that in
the light of all the testimony which we
now have there was nothing in Adjutant
Reese's conduct on that day which could in
any manner reflect upon "his verdict, dis
cipline, behavior and obedience to orders."
The findings of the court have been ap
proved by Major General Snowden and the
court dissolved. Adjutant Reese announced
last night that having been vindicated he
would at once resign from the National
Guard.
Gibson's New Grocery.
The grocerman who asks you for your
patronage, offers you a book and gives you
credit, is not doing you a favor, as you may
think, but is charging you at least 25 per
cent more for your goods than they are
worth. The book business is a delusion and
a snare. It gives a dishonest man an oppor
tunity to overcharge, and to .add to your
book what you did not receive.
Pay cash for your goods and buy where
you get the best goods for the least money.
At the following prices we will deliver
all orders amounting to 10 and upward to
any part of either city, or will pay freight
to any station or landing within 200 miles
of Pittsburg. All goods guaranteed first
class, or can be returned at our expense.

The Naked Truth
ABOUT our style of doing
business is, first of all, strictly
reliable Home-Made Cloth
ing; secondly, one price to
all alike, rich or poor.
THE sale we have inaugur
ated for this week will, no
doubt, cause a number of our
competitors to
KICK, but what do we care
about a fewkickers? People
will kick at all times; some
are not satisfied with less
than 50 per cent profit, but
it's not a matter of profit with
us now, therefore we have
taken off every
TAX Every remnant of gain
we need and must have room,
and if reduced prices will
make it we will clear our
BUILDING-of every piece
of medium or heavy-weight
goods we have left .With
out reserve everything goes
at a reduction.
