"A whistling woman and a crowing hen, fit for neither gods nor men," etc The whistler's favorite field of action is the public conveyance. Here he has his suffering fellow creatures at a peculiar dis advantage. They can neither legally object nor take forcible measures to "cut the whis tle short." A maddened public might be justified in falling with violence upon these noiy disturbers of the peace; but it is hardly possible that a court of law would hold such acts of retributive justice blame less. Then there is an illusive clement in a whistle that makes it difficult to locate the offender, even if vengeance were sought. How often have wc all watched a carload of fellow sufferers straining their ears to locate the point from which the unmusical annoy ance comes. Each suspects all his fel low passengers in turn, and as the car fills Tip, everyone finds himsell in a state of outrageous and grow ing indignation, save the whistler alone, who continues his amusement undisturbed. Xow, everyone feels sure that a pudgy boy in the furthest corner is the culprit, but presently he vanishes and the nuisance re mains unabated. Then a shabby man with a vacant stare excites suspicion. He looks just like a man with, nothing better to do than to whistle in public. His thin lips are slightly apart and they twitch nervously at the corners just as the strains of Patti's last favorite air, "Annie Eooney," steal out into the overburdened atmosphere. Then the wretched song dies down and springs into life again and again, until within a dozen blocks it has been repeated.a score of times. Crescendo or diminuendo, theshabby man's mouth twitches just the same, and we come to the conclusion that we are mistaken and turn our glar ing eves upon his neighbor, a portlv old gentleman with gray mustache and gold-rimmed glasses, the very last one we should have suspected, He is the guilty party. There is no mistake, for he rises, the whistling stops and we hear its shrill chirp as he wends his way down a side street Violence is none too good for such a man. Nothing else can call him back to a sene of proprietv. The concerted and concentrated gaze of all the victims passes unheeded, for his mind is always preoccupied and he whistles without being conscious of the act It is simply a bad habit into which he has allowed himself to drift and there is no renledy. Perhaps it might have an effect on hiip if every other occupant of the car joined in a chorus of whistles or accompanied him in the air. 2f o matter how preoccupied he might be, such a startling proceeding could not fail to bring him to his senses. The whistler in a busy office may readily be brought to a sense of the proprieties by use of missiles, such as paper weights, ink stands and the like, but in the street car or other public conveyance missiles are not close at hand. A placard proclaiming "dogs and whistlers positively excluded" might have some effect The "chances are, however, that this would have no more weight than those that are now seen in the Pittsburg cars: "Spitting on the floor of this car positively prohibited." The perils that pave the path of Patti would hush the throat of a less venturesome song bird. Besides the bit of paper igniting just as she struck her pet high not. lire was a piece of scenery which wobbled in judiciously just after the divine diva had bowed herself out of sight upon singing her second encore. A wandering breeze also was noted, the fact of its presence being conveyed to Patti by the useful Xiccolini, after which it was captured by the stage managerand turned out into the cold, wet world of the alley without an umbrella. But the most tremendous disaster of all was averted when Patti swallowed her spleen upon noticing the people leaving the hall while "die, was singing with Fabbri. At the first pause she put her hand to her mouth, and behind it announced the fact into the wings. The succeeding order of thought as depicted in her countenance seemed to haTe been In this sequence: Patti frowned. Patti looked at the house. Patti thought ofthe SU.SCA Tatti smiled. And the concert came to a harmonious close. E-ist Enders, almost en masse, intend to devote two evenings this week, Monday and Tuesday, to the enjoyment of the entertain ment the young ladies of the Foreign Mis sionary Society of Emory M. E. Church have employed their talent and energies in preparing.

The grumble about Old City Hall being unfit for lecturing purposes came to a head when Madame Le Plongeon spoke in it a fortnight since. If ever the hall was fit for anything of the kind, it is so long ago that it is now f orgotten,and the place only exists in the form of a nuisance of a forlorn hope to which the projectors of entertainments turn when all else fails. The serious ob jection raised about the hall after theXe Plongeon lecture, caused one lady to speak her mind very freely concerning the man ner of renting the audience chamber in the Carnegie Library, Allegheny. In her remarks she stated that as it was the fewest ventures of a literary nature which could permit of a rental expenditure of 5100. the hall was practically an impossibility! excepting on extraordinary occasions and for extraor dinary entertainments. A few pungent re marks were gratuitously added charging the Allegheny City Government with an avarice neither upheld" nor desired by Mr. Carnegie, and, in faet.entirely contrary to the purposes for which that part of the "library building was established. The "Woman's" Club had made a determined effort to secure the hall, as the only proper place in which to ask a woman like Madame Le Plongeon to ap pear, or an audience, such as she would at tract, to gather. The club naturally felt a good deal of annoyance at their project be ing dampened by the grandiloquent manner of Councils, in demanding 5100 for the night, or in other words, an actual share in the profits of the evening; as it is well known that no such sum is required to re imburse the treasury for the expense of keeping the hall open for one evening. The disease known as Lent is inflicting its annual scourge. Mabiox Crawford Gallaher. LEST HAS JUST BEGTJB, Bnt Society In tbe Two Cities Made the Best or Last TVeek.

A Bamarkaufa Iteeoenitlon of the Wlda Sprad Prevalence or Catarrha, Broo- 'chlal end Fulmonaiy Tronbles Increase in tho Death Rate. Jfofan announcement has been made for years of orauch Interest to relizious circles as that recently Issued by Pope Leo XIII. It prae ticallyrfiboliahes the fast of Friday. The official order issued by tho Holy Roman Inquisition re views the provalenco and dangers of the various forms of influenza exist ing in Europe and Amer ica, and say3: " Wherefore, availing himself or the service of the Sacred Council of the Supreme Roman Uni versal Inquisition, the Holy Father by Apos tollo Authority imparts to all Archbishops, Bishops and Ordinaries in all regions In wUlah the aforementioned disease prevails, , power to absolve the faithful of their charge irom tneoougation or lasting anu aostinence as long as In their judgment the state of the public hralth requires this Apostolic In dulgence." This is startling testimony to the preva lence of I x Grippe and the diseases which it leaves in its wate to finish its deadly work. Such an edict is never issued except in periods of widespread pestilence. Nothinz during tbe history of the epidemic, which leaves thousands and millions of people In the clutches of Catarrh and Cossovrno. shows more completely the seriousness of this Insidious disease than this papal bull, which for a time strikes down a custom hoary and venerable with ase, a custom in grafted upon the habits of mankind in tho davs of Moses. The sufferers from La GriDne include three out of every live people In the world. To Duiiis ii seems 9. mere coiu, wjtu iihhhiu effects, but to all it means a severe affliction, which deposits in the systim a terrible poison that saps the vitality of the sufferer and develops diseases that operate o fatally as tO ISCF.EASX THE DEATH RATE IX THE TOCS TRT FROI NASAL, BROfCHIAL AND PULVOSART TROUBLES 0E-HALFOVXRTHAT OF LAST WINTER. It Is a pressing duty that devolves on cverv man, woman and child who has dif fered from la grippe to see that the results, the catarrhal conditions that It leaves, are are thoroughly cured while a cure is pos sible. Catarrh is often tho condition that in the first place invites and causes la grippe. It is the condition la grippe leaves behind. Inviting fresh attacks, making, as it w ere, a home for itself for next season. This lathe proper time to take special treatment for la grippe and its after effect, such as nasal catarrh; bronchitis. Incipient consumption and chronio -coughs. Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers have met with unparalleled suc cess in their treatment of la grippe and its resultant disorders, as they belong distinct ively to that family of diseases or which they make a specialty. IS NOT CONSUMPTION, Though Often Mistaken for It, That Stage In the Catarrhal Progress Called Chronic Bronchitis? Bronchial catarrh, or chronic bronchitis, is a stage in the extension of catarrhal process frequently mistaken by superficial physicians for consumption, and often pro- liounced Incurable. The "catarrh has ex tended down the windpipe into the bron chial tubes, which convey the air to the lungs; the tubes are so filled that the breath ine Is difficult and there Is a severe congn and raising of tenacious mncus. In some cases the mucus is streaked with blood and the pain from the cough affects the chest and lungs." This condition often leads to consumption, but if taken in time by the skillful specialist can be cured. O. Mentzer, Homesttad, Pa. Mr. W. G. Ment7er, a yonng steel worker, residing at bOt Ileisel street. Homestead, tells the Tollowing story of bis trouble and fln.il roller: "For a long time I have suffered from ca tarrh in my head and throat. It was origi nally brought on by colds w hich I neglected, much to my 1 egret afterward. ."I had nearly constant pains in mv head and over my fves such a dull, heavy reel ing. Sty nostrils were badly-stopped up and the mucus, or phlegm, would gather bjck in my head and drop down into mv throat. I could feel it, causing me to hawk and spit In a most disagreeable manner in order to dis lodge it. I had ringing in the -ears, and sharp, shooting pams through my chest, ily stomach also became badlv affected. "My case was growing gradually w orse and mv general health being undermined. The L catarrh was affecting my throat seiionsly. ana omer parts 01 my system were disar ranged bv its influence. "I was in this condition when 1 npplied to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. 1 had read much of their rre.it skill and success 111 treating and curing cases similar to mine, and some much worse, and I placed mj selt under their care. I can say truthfully that tne testimony to their skill was not over diawn. I round relief and cure. No trace or the symptoms described remains and I am as well agaiM as ever I was. I am glad to testify to the satisfactory result In my case 'obtained by these physicians. I think all people who have catarrh should know where they can be cured Is why I make thin state ment." - For the accommodation of those em ployed during the ninal working hoars, the offices of Drs. Copolnnd, Hall and Byers are open workday evenings from 7 to 9 o'clock, and Sundays from 10 A. 31. to 4 F. M. DR. COPELAND'S HOME TBEAT3II5NT.

My husband says sometimes be wonders if I can be the little half-dead wife be once lelt so much for when suffering: now. my complexion is clear, cheeks red and: eyes bright; I can meet him with smiles instead of tears and -pains. What a change! All from being a reader of tho papers and finding a healer of pain and Buffering!" 91 B. D. F. DAKNES, New Castle, Pa., writes: "I have had catarrh ever since 1861. J commenced Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' homo treatment January 5. On Februarys I weighed seven pounds uoavier. I think If you. can help me so much in one month you can certainly t,ure me, and if a case of so long standing as mine can be cured, I do not see why anybody cannot be." ' MK. C P.

The Many Distressing Symptoms "Which Accompany a his Affection Mrs. Zoll- . lnger's Bemarkable Statement. Mrs. Zollinger, wife of Mr. Lewis Zoll inger, the well-known brRic manufacturer, resides at Bruehton, East End, and has passed through a remarkable experience during the past few years. "I had been troubled with wiat the doc tors termed a complication of diseases for a long time," says Mrs. Zollinger, "during which I have been treated for almost every conceivable disease. Or late my heart gave me so much troublo I was treated for heart disease. I suffered severely from palpita tion of the heart, pain over tbe eyes, dizzi ness, shortness of breath and a smothering sensation. These symptoms were always worse at night after retiring. In addition Mrs. Lewis Zollinger, Brushton. East End to these distressing symptoms I had a bad stomach trouble which tbe doctors called dyspepsia. I had a strong desire for food, but each meal caused, me so much dis tress and bloating of the stomach that I was unable to eat the necessary amount or rood, to sustain life. I was tired all the time: my! dally duties were a drag.and the least bodily exertion completely exhausted me. Xlfs itseir was a burden, and I looked to the future with gloom and despondency. "I had consulted a nnmber of doctors and had taken nearly everv remedy announced to cure persons suffering from disease, the symptoms of which resembled mine. All, however, was or no avail, and tbe more medicine I took the moro aggravated mv" symptoms. Or course, the reason ror tins was my disease was not properly under stood bv those whom I had consulted, and they railed to prescribe for me the right medicine. When I came to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Bver- I was suffering so from one ol my smothering spells with my heart that the lady who nccompanied me had to sup port me. and. their bell boy. although accus tomed to seeing some pretty sick people, made the remark that the doctor had taken a patient who was going to die with con sumption. Tho doctors described my symp toms moro accurately than I could myself; told me that my symptoms arose not from consumption, or heart disease, or dyspepsia, but from a catarrhal inflammation of the stomach and bowels., which affected the heart and lungs, caused the shortness of breath and smoth ering sensation in the chest and the dyspeptic symptoms of which I com plained. "Their diagnosis of my case being mora careful and thorough than thatof any physi cian I l.ad before consulted, J. decided to place mvseir under treatment, and I am now tmt la"d I did. From the first I lelt myself gaining in strength and health. The short ness or breatn, the smothering sensation, the heart palnitation, tbe distress. in the stomich, the headache, tho languid, tired feeling and the exhaustion, of which I then complained and from which I suffered for so long, disappared, and to-day I feel liko another person, strong and hopeful as I ever have felt."
