They Denounce the Ylliolesnlo Remon strance Pln Adopted by McCIurc A Slovexncnt in Favor ol Making the Club Take Out Licenses. The Betail Liquor Dealers' Protective Association held a special meeting in the County Democracy -headquarters, Mellon building, yesterday afternoon. President John O'Xeil, of the Sixth Avenue Hotel, was in the chair. About 250 members were present, and the meeting was the largest ever held bv the association. The Com mittee on Membership reported a large number of applicants, and it is expected that at the next regular meeting every legitimate dealer in the two cities will have joined the organization. The determination fthi Law and Order Society to file remonstrances against ap plicants for license without provocation or cause, without any effort at investigation, but jnst on general principles, was loudly condemned by the association, and it is not unlikely that the association will take an. active part in fighting Mr. McClure and his people. Tbe Programme Disturbed. It was announced in the meeting yester day that the filing of remonstrances in a general way would compel the license judges to resort to the old plan o! examining applicants and would drag the License Court out lor several weeks instead ot disposing of the cases as lias been announced. The original inten tion was to erant license to the applicant who at present holds a license and against wlioni there -as no remonstrance, b-t the determination of the Law and Order people to file remonstrances against the saloon people generally will, it is feared by the "saloon men, force the Court into the regular long and tedious investigation ot each ap plicant. In a short speech President O'Eeil ad vised his associates to obey the law strictly in the future, as they had done in the past, and he assured them that there then would be no danger from the' Law and Order of ficials or any other remonstrants. A Plan of tbe Hotel Keepers. Several leading hotel keepers who have recently joined the liquor men's association will, it was announced yesterday, endeavor to have the Duquesne Club apply for a liqnor and hotel license. One hotel man argued that the Duquesne Club has re cently become a regular hotel, and that neoplc of any importance who come to the city are taken to the club, o the detri ment and disadvantage ot the licensed hotels. No action was taken in the matter yesterday, but it is not improbable that the subject will begiven further attention at the next regular meeting. The reduction ot the business tax of saloonkeepers was considered by the meet ing, and "was favorably commented upon. The regular meeting ot the association will not be held until after the holding of Li cense Court, when it is said the association will inaugurate its contemplated war on all the clubs and speak-casies in the city. A PITTSBUEGEE KILLED At Cincinnati by a Fall From a Building Yesterday. A special from Cincinnati last night says the body of a man was found in the yard at 729 Race street. He had evidently fallen lroin the roof of the building. His neck was broken. The man was poorly dressed, but he wore a leather belt around his waist in the ring of which was attached a coil of copper wire, while he carried a coil of com mon wire in his hand and appeared to be an electric light lineman. John E. Qniljjigan, a lineman in the em ploy of the Eden Park Railway, called at the morgue yesterday afternoon and identi fied the body as that of Jack Babbit, a tele graph lineman from this city, and that he had arrived in Cincinnati about two months ago dead broke. The name of Jack or John Babbit does not appear in the Pittsburg directory, and no one could be found who knew him. The dead man is rather thin-faced, with a heavy, red mustache. He was dressed poorly, arid wore a fur can. On the left side of the face, just beside the car, is a large wen, while on his. left arm was a tattooed ballet girl with a tambourine in her hand. Sirs. M Jor Brown's Illness. "When leaving the Court House Major Brown, who had been engaged during the day in the case of the Pearl Laundry againvt John Kewell, received a telegram lrom Beaver, Pa., where his wife had been taken suddenly sick. Mrs. Brown, while at tending the funeral of her brother-in-law re cently, contracted a heavy cold, which is the cause of her present illness. Mrs. Brown is a most estimable lady. She was born and raised in Greensburg, Pa. Her family is one of the oldest in the west ern end of the State. Her great-grandfather, Rev. "Weber, founded the first church in Greensburg. He also founded the old Ger man Lutheran Church in tnis city. Mrs. Brown's physicians are hopeful of her re covery. I'nrniture for the Civil Service. A lot of new furniture arrived at the new postoffice yesterday for rooms 409 and 410. These are to be fitted up for civil service ex aminations. Accommodation for 100 appli cants n ill be provided. The first examina tion to be held 'there will be on April 10, when applicants for railway mail service. will be examined. jf.'.iv t, iftntfft ' 1 ' MMftwffft gaffes 7fmim3erX rfwMffiMtMtftMlffrnitflJBaKMiHMMmTrwr1 y TALL TOWERS To Be Pnshed Toward the Skies in the Two Cities This Season. .

X Number of Others Are Probabilities of the Near Future. 0XE POINT SCORED BI THE UNIONS The first Monday in April will usher in the opening ot the building season, and from all indications before it closes Pitts burg, Allegheny and the suburbs will have experienced an era of improvement un precedented in their history. Despite all the stories of hard times, labor troubles and the numerous other grievances which are constantly being brought up; the prospects are bright From every hand comes news of improve ments. "Where a tumble-down old two story frame house stands to-day a massive pile of brick and mortar will he erected as a monument to Pittsburg's growth and industry. So it will be all over the business part of Pittsburg. By the time winter again makes its appearance many merchants of all kinds, professional men and others will be in new and commodions quarters. Structures That Are Comtemplated. ' Some of the large buildings which are to grace Pittsburg and Allegheny are as fol lows: Joseph norno & Co.'s s'toro building, fifth street and Fenn avenue, ooverlngr tho Leon ard propertv; tho Keeoh-Wado combine's new eight story ootnmcrolal building on Penn avenue, ahovo Garrison alley; L. H. SmltU will remove the First U. P. Churoli on Seventli avenue and erect a new store building; tho Kaufmonn syn dicate will extend Its present huilding to muoh greater proportions; Kulien & Solomon' new department store, at Smltlifleld and Diamond street, and ex tending both ways, being probably a six storr buildlns; trio Smith property, at Sixth and Liberty lias been secured by some Phil adelphia parties, and al2-story commercial bon9c will so up; n publishing comnanv will proDably bnild a 12-story building on Third avenue, between Smltlifleld and Wood streets: tho new Fourth ward sub-district school building will go up at Duquesne way and Eighth street; the new Sonthsido Mar set Uonsc will be erected; one school bonse on the Sontbside and two In tbe East End; the Sandusky street Baptist Church, Alle cueny, will be replaced by one of the most handsome church structures In Allegheny City, and there will be u four-story addi tion to licClurg's cracker factory, Alle gheny. There are several other buildings which are belnz talked of. They are: Store building for Gillespie, the grocer; one opposite the Westinfrhouse building; the Old Christ Church and Female College will probably be replaced by new buildings in the near future. All 'Will Be of Hlgb Class. These buildings will all be built as nearly fire-proof as possible. For the greater part they will be built of brick. It is said that the reason more stone buildings are not erected in Pittsburg is because of the smoke discoloring them so much faster than those of brick. Aside from the business 'blocks, a great number of residences, little and big, will go up. A big syndicate has been formed to build honses and sell them on the install ment plan or rent them. The company will work in Oakland and the .East End. Forty houses will go up at once, and before the season is over as many more will be added. The suburban districts and nearby towns will come in for a great deal of the build ing, as a number of new manufacturing plants are starting jnst outside the city limits. All this work is to be pushed ahead, no matter what happens. Strikes are not to be a barrier to their erection. In fact, the builders say; there w ill be no strikes in Pittsbnrg this summer, other than the con tinued one of the bricklayers. They also say that should there be, the work will go on just the same. A Victory for tbe Unions. Already some lively hustling has been gone through by the Builders' Exchange and the building trades. Just what may come of it all is hard to say so early in the game. Yesterday the union men won a victory over the Exchange by securing the contract of the Ruben & Solomon building. G. P. Kretz secured the contract and has sublet the brick work to Bown & Dailr and the masonry to Mc Donald Bros. Dougherty Bros, were awarded the contract first, but there was a clause in it specifying union labor should be employed. This firm belongs to the Ex change and had to give up the contract be cause of the refusal of the property owners to let it without this clause. Mr. Bown said last night: "I expect the Exchange will do.all in its power to inter fere with the erection of the building. It will not make any difference, howcver,'for we can get material the same way it got men last summer. "The Exchange," continued he, "is work ing hard against union labor. It has even gone so far as to inform the architects, who are members of it, not to allow union con tractors to come into their offices and make estimates from the drawings. I know of one case where the order has been carried out already." The builders think the strike of the build ing trades of Wheeling, which is to take place on April 1, will be in their favor. They think a great many of the men will be induced to work in Pittsburg. MAKTIN OLIVEE'S TB0UBLE. An Indictment for Illegal Liquor Selling Ketnrned Against Him, The grand jury yesterday returned a true bill against Martin Oliver of Allegheny, for selling liquor without a license. Oliver is the Judge of the Election Board in the Fifth ward, Allegheny, who is charged by ex-Senator Butan with violating the primary election laws. Oliver has not yet been arrested. Immediately following the pri mary election at which he is said to have violated the law, he left for Scranton to ap pear as a witness in the case of some Fay ette county moonshiners. It is said he was at his home last Saturday but the officers have beeli unable to locate him, although it is said they have been after him hot footed. Three indictments lor alleged liquor selling are now hovering over him and it is not probable that he will soon be arrested. Bogie Farker Sent to Jail. Bosie Parker was committed to jail by Alderman McKenna yesterday on a charge of disorderly conduct. She is the white woman who, on last Mondav afternoon, during a quarrel in the Centennial building, Ferry street, cut a colored man named "Wal ter Butler with a razor, inflicting serious wounds. She will be held to await the re sult of Bntler's injuries.

General Manager Fneh Pleads Poverty for the Pennsylvania Railroad. A party of officials from the Pennsylyanim and Chicago, Burlington and. Quincy roads registered at the Duquesne last evening. The "Q" men were General Manager "W. F. Merrill, General Freight Agent Thomas Miller, General Superintendent J. D. Bessler, Chief Engineer E. J. Blake, and Superintendent, of Motive Power George W. Bhodes, all of Chicago. The Pennsyl vania officials were General Manager Pugh, Theodore N". Ely. "W". H. Brown and E. B. Walton. The "Q" people had been over the New York Central inspecting terminals and looking out for improvements , in switches, signals, etc. They concluded to return to Chicago over the Pennsylvania road. This morning for a short time they will look over the Pittsburg yards. General Manager Pugh said there was noth ing significant in their visit. He had some business to attend to here, and thought he would come over with the Burlington offi cials. When asked about a new depot, he laughed, and said the subject was a chestnut He added, however, for the bene fit of the people that the road is too poor to build one this year. He washed his hands cf all the depot schemes ever con cocted, and their number is legion. It will be many a day before that promised' station will be forthcoming, Mr. Pugh declined to talk about the Beading combination. He remarked that the matter was in the hands of the Governor, and"he thought Mr. Pat tison would do his best to protect the con stitution. Mr. Pugh said they are not wor riedwith the reports of other roads extend ing their lines to Pittsburg. Most of them, he claimed, are on paper, and haven't the money to branch out. irs A IIVELY -FIGHT. Republicans of the Twenty-Fourth District Indnl-lng in a Battle. - The fight in the Twenty-fourth Congres sional district, comprising Greene, Wash ington, Fayette and part of Allegheny counties, has become decidedly lively, and it is asserted that the heads of several Fed eral officeholders will be knocked off unless harmony is secured before the Congressional primaries are held. Greene county has so far refused to enter into any combination of the Bepnblicans from the other counties in the district unless she is guaranteed equal representation with the others. This Greene county is not likely to get, and it has been announced that unless Greene falls into line promptly, an effort will be made to remove postmasterTeagarden, of Waynes burg, and J, P., Keinhart, a deputy collector of internal revenue from Greene county. These gentlemen, it is alleged, are responsi ble for the belligerent position of the Greene eounty Republicans. In behalf of Teagarden & Keinhart it is argued that Senator Quay and E. F. Ache son entered into an arrangement by which Quay was to get the members of the Legis lature from the district, and Acheson, in return, was to be given the Congressional nomination of the district. The Greene county Bepublicans say they are for Dal zell for United States Senator, and the of fice holders say they have no fear of being removed for refusing to become a party to a Quay deal. While the fight is going on among the Bepublicans the Democrats are quietly standing back, hopeful of being able to again elect the Congressman in the district. VERY BADLY MIXED UP. Ralston District 'Tax Books Recalled Be cause of Two Errors. The Board ot Assessors has recalled the books ot the Ninth and Tenth wards, con stituting the Balston sub-school district. In figuring on the school tax for this district the assessors, by mis take, separated the two wards, fixing the Ninth ward rate at 7-10 mills and the Tenth at 1 2-10 mills. The valuation in the former ward is 5,181,690 and in the latter 3,094,189. The amount required for the school is $7,000, and the assessors fixed the rate so as to raise half of this in each ward. The framen of .the appropriation ordinance evidently discovered that snch a plan would make the tax unequal in the two wards, and to remedy it added the two rates together. making the millage for the whole district 1 9-10 mills. Only yesterday it was discovered that the second plan was just as much a mistake as the first. The combined rate of 1 9-10 mills on the valuation of the whole district would bring 515,000, while only $7,000 is needed. When this was discovered the assessors de cided to remedy it by recalling the books and fixing the rate for the district at 1 mill. The difficulty now assnmes'a still different form and the question arises whether or not the assessors have the right to alter a tax rate fixed in the appropriation ordinance recently passed, even though everybody is willing to admit the mistake. "It is one of the strangest mix-ups that ever occurred in city affairs," said Con troller Morrow yesterday, "but I guess it can be straightened all right" THIS IS THE K0BNING. Tbe Route "Which Will Be Followed y the Parade. The St Patrick's Day parade will form in one grand division on Water street, right resting on Smithfield street .The forma tion will be in the following order: Platoon ot police, Second Brigade Band, cavalry es cort in command of Captain O'Sbea, Chief Marshal and staff, infantry battalion, Colonel Felix McHnight; infantry bat talion, Major John Coyne; carriages con taining State and county representatives of A. O. H.; civic division in columns of four. The parade will move promptly at 1:45 o'clock over the following route: Smith field to Diamond, to Old avenue, to Fifth avenue, to Washington street, to Wylie avenue, to Chatham street, to Websterjave nue, to Grant street, Fifth avenue, to Mar ket street, to Sixth street, to Penn avenue, to Seventeenth street, to Liberty avenue, to New Grant street, where the parade will be reviewed by the Chief Marshal. The Bandall Club will celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a delightful way. The trustees have arranged a programme con sisting of music and song, interspersed with selections of wit and humor, for the even ing, and while the sweet songs and stories of "Ould Ireland" will predominate, suffi cient variety will be given so as to enter tain all comers. General Bastings on Johnstown. Great preparations are being made for the lecture of General Hastings, under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temper ance Alliance, at Old City Hall to-morrow night This will be the last occasion upon which the General will speak upon the Johnstown flood. Three-score or more of Pittsburg's most prominent people will occupy seats on the platform. The Gen eral's services are given without money or price, and the entire proceeds will go to providing treatment for inebriates under the method ot Dr. Franklin, which is some what different from the Keeley system. A Sugar Scare Knocked Oat. The story that the Spreckels Sugar Befin ing Company's plant at Philadelphia had been destroyed by fire, which has been dis turbing the minds of dealers in this city, was proven incorrect yesterday by a tele gram from the head ot the firm to H. P. Dilworth & Co. It turns out that only the" cooper shop was burned. It is announced on the best of authority that the Spreckels concern will not identify itself with the Sugar Trust Americas Club Banquet. Arrangements are completing for the annual banquet of the Americus Club, to be held in the near future. A committee of the club will go to Washington this week to arrange for speakers for the occasion, and the club members are confident that their banquet this year will be more elaborate and enjoyable than any" jet held. i-JlL7& COUNCILS MAY ACT Upon Allegheny's Official War at This Evening's Meeting.. A HEARING FOE CAPTAIN BELL. Mayor YoegtlT Has Received an Invitation to Be Present ONE MOKE STATEMENT FE01L BUTAN Police Captain Bell, who on Monday night was summarily dismissed from the police force of Allegheny, was yesterday notified that he would be given a hearing by Chief Murphy, of the Department of Public Safety, and Superintendent of Police Mnthat 4 o'clock this afternoon. When Captain Bell was retired from duty by Su perintendent Muth no cause was assigned for such action other than that he was friendly to ex-Councilman MoKirdy, one of the expert auditors now at work investi gating the accounts of Allegheny City. -The removal of Captain Bell was accepted as a blow at the reformers, and was es pecially unsatisfactory to Mayor Voegtly, who a day or so ago had locked horns with Superintendent Muth over the suspension of Officer Clark. The Mayor asked that Clark's case be .promptly heard, but Chief Murphy replied that he would give the sus spended officer a hearing at his own pleasure. The Eflcct of an Announcement. This enraged th'e Mayor and the suspen sion ot Captain Bell only served to intensify the Mayor's feeling in the matter. When it was announced yesterday in The Dis patch that the Mayor and the reformers intended going into 'Councils with the case, and that an effort would probably be made to have Chief Murphy removed from his position at the head of the Department of Public Safety, there was considerable feel ing among Chief Murphy's friends, and as a result Captain Bell was notified to report for a hearing. Tbe Captain stated last night that he has not yet been informed of the charges against him nor has he Deen as yet given any reason for his removal Chief Murphy's friends were industrious yesterday in their efforts to find out, if pos sible, what Councils will do with the Chiefs case when they meet to-night n it is de termined before the meeting that Councils have made up their mind to sustain the Mayor and suspend or remove the Chief then the Chief will" resign. An Invitation to the Mayor. Mayor Voegtly has been invited to be present at the hearings of the suspended officers, but the Mayor's friends say he has lost his temper with the Chief and that the effort to satisfy him now has come too late to save Chief Murphy if Councils can be induced to remove him. The last regular meeting of both branches of Allegheny Conncils will be held to night, and the new Conncils will organize early in April. David Macferron, the present City Treasurer, will have opposition for re-election. Controller Brown will have a hard fight for his place and it is hinted that the reformers will be after him before the new Councils meet City Attorney Elphinstone will be opposed, tor re-election, but it is said.he will be suc cessful. If Chief Murphy is not removed by the old Councils it is announced that Mayor Kennedy when he takes his seat will 'de mand that all the lines shall be closely drawn in the Safety Department and he has already been pledged the help of Coun cils to carry out any reforms he may de termine upon. Senator Butan arranged yesterday to make another information against Council man George I. Rudolph, whom it is alleged was present with Martin Oliver and others at the primary election in the Third district of the Fifth ward, Allegheny, recently, when, it is claimed, the election laws were violated. The new information against Kudolph, Senator Bntan says, will involve not only violation of the election laws, but other and more serious charges. Tbe Sena tor said he was surprised at the action of Alderman Schellman in discharging Kudolph. "" A Statement From Rntan. "There was testimony sufficient to hold him," the Senator went on. "It was proven Budolph was in the room with the election officers and told Inspector Kramer that he could not go in to serve on the board. Every man is supposed to know what the law is, and especially one holding as high a posi tion as Mr. Budolph does in the public serv ice. It was clearly proven that the Elec tion Board violated every provision of the primary election law and the rules of tbe committee, which has the same effect as law. Budolph controlled the board and every action ot the board. JamesNeillie.who was summoned as a witness and did not show up, was only four squares away when the constable went after him. He refusod to come and the Alderman declined to en force his attendance. He stated in bis affi davit that he saw Budolph pass a bottle of whisky into the board. Budolpb. waited un til the count was made and then accompanied Oliver away with election box and papers, which were never seen afterward, so lar as can be ascertained. Alderman Schellman was requested to adjourn the case for an other hearing, because I bad been sick and was then and am yet Under 'the circum stances no committing magistrate should have hesitated to postpone, and probably no other magistrate would. I will not go be fore him again to make information against anyone. This is the first time in my life I ever prosecuted anyone and never was -a party to any suit of any character before. I will never stop now until all the parties are brought to justice, no matter how long a time is required to catch the two defendants who ran away." Another Election In Allegheny. There will have to be a special election in the Fourth ward, Allegheny, to fill Will iam M. Kennedy's place in Select Council. It was reported last night that Mr. Ken nedy will resign early enough so that the election to fill the vacancy can be held on the same day the election for Mayor takes place April 26. It was also repbrted that John Fielding will be elected to fill Mr. Kennedy's place. Mr. Fielding has been on the Fourth Ward School Board for the last 15 years, and has been connected with politics in the ward for a considerably longer period. He is considered one of the foremost men in the ward, and it is said he will be elected without opposition. HOT A CANDIDATE FOB CONGRESS. General A. W. Jones, of "Eoangstown, Says Be Has No Snch .Aspirations. General A. W. Jones, of Youngstown, was at the Duquesne yesterday. He left for Columbus last evening. The General thought that McKinley's old district, con sisting of Stark, Columbiana and Mahoning counties, would be restored. He does not believe that Carroll county will be substi tuted for Mahoning. "I am not a candidate for Congress," con tinned General Jones. "For some reason the Pittsburg papers have persisted in say ing that I am in the field. This is a mis take. I never was a candidate, and do not intend to be one. As for the Presidental outlook in Ohio, sentiment is divided be tween Harrison and McKinley. The Gov ernor has not announced that he will be a candidate." This leaves T. E. Morgan, Sr., of Alli ance, and Judge King, of Youngstown, as the Congressional aspirants in the district Oub boys' shoes best made. Try them you will buy no others.

George Bjodges Lectures on the Cus toms of the Episcopal Chnrch at St. An drew'sThe Origin of the Prayerhoofc Explained Some Interesting Features. Bey. George Hodges delivered the first of a course ot four lectures on the Protestant Episcopal Church at St Andrew's Chnrch, Ninth street, last evening. The subject was 'Worship," taking as his text Rev elations v., 8, "Golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." Pray ers, said Mr. Hodges, are part form and part spirit He continued: There is utterance and there Is aspiration. Tho difference between the prayers of 'the saints and or the careless Is In the hidden aspiration of the heart, not In tne form. All public worship has In It the element of form. The moment a word Is spoken there bezlns a form of prayer. The vonly way to have a service without the use of forms wonld be to have It In unbroken silence. All Christian peonle, even the Society or Friends, agree in the use or some ktntt of form. What is to be avoided is not form, but ibrmallsm,whlch is the use or empty form, the utterance of tbe word of prayer without the aspiration. It does not depend upon the form pro vided for the use of the worshiper. It does depend upon tbe individual Christian. We have a great deal or formulism In the Epis copal Courch, but not a monopoly or it; but formalism la not due to any peculiarities of our service. It grows out of our own lack or zeal and lack of Iovo. There are two reasons for going to etiurch. We shonld go partly for the prayers and partly for the sermon. The worship or tho Episcopal Church is set in order in the Book of Common Prayer, which Is to be com mended on two grounds: first, antiquity; second, excellence. This book had Its origin in the Hebrew church. Ion? before the Christian era. Onr -Lord and His disciples used In tbe Temple and synagogues the prayers read oat of tne appointed books. The phrases or tbe formal prayer which He gave to His disciples were tor the most part from the Hebrew prayer book, the essential arrangement of whloh was the same as is our prayer nook to-day. The Christian disciples in urranglng the service ot the Christian Church loHowed the order to which they had been accustomed. To this we owe the use of the psalms In tho prayer book, and the three lold division or the service into penitence, and praise and prayer. The prayer book was then translated into Greek. The baptismal service, and the order for holy communion tooK tbe place of tbe services for tbe Passover. The book was enriched and elaborated. When the balance of power in the church passed to Koine, the prayer book was translated into latin, and tbe elaboration continued. When the balance of power among the nations of the earth was transferred to the English, the pruver book was translated into that lunanaae. and all tho false aoctrino and misleading cere mony were taken out The most convincing argument Is that from excellence. This Is a practical age, in which weaie inclined to accept a thing not because it is old, but because it is good. One advantage of the Church's form or wor ship is the securing of reverence; another is tbe maintaining of truth; that is, putting these two advantages together the prayer book makes the people somewhat indepen dent ortho minister. If all ministers were saints, an extemporaneous service would be tho ideal service. But we must take men not as we wish they were, but-as they are. It is better that our worship should be lifted effectually above the littleness of men. .Moreover our worship should bo well rounded, and shonld omit none of the essentials or worship. The serv ice obviates the difficulties aris ing from the lack or experience on the part or many ministers oi all the spiritual needs of the human, heart, and the fact that all men, even ministers, are neces sarily somewhat one-sided. The prayer book is a continual guide. If It be followed all the necessary truths and doctrines re ceive their dne attention In the course of the Christian year. Another advantage of the prayer book is the opportunity that it gives the people of joining in the service. The worship of the Church Is not the minister's service only. It is the people's service also. The prayer book is the guardian or the people's rights. As to what Is properly called ritual, the general rale or the Episcopal Church is, In regard to the conduct or individual Chris tians in the service, that tbat may rightly be done, which, without unduly offending other people, is tound to be helpful to each Christian. Do that which is to help yon, and let your neighbor without any narrow judg ing do that which Is of help to him. Tbat is tho spirit of the worship of the Episcopal Cbuich. ' The n?xt lecture will be delivered next Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock. Subject: "The Doctrines ot the Church." Bobbers and Booty Both Secured. About 6 o'clock Tuesday evening two men entered the house of Thomas Grant, No. 4063 Penn avenue, and stole about $200 worth ot goods. They were discovered by Mrs. Grant, .who gave the alarm and the men fled. One of them, Peter Connelly, was arrested shortly after on a cable car by Officer Ford. He made a confession to Captain Brophy, telling where the goods could be found. They were soon recovered by the police. Connelly also stated that his companion was William Flaherty, who was arrested later. Yesterday morning Magistrate Leslie held the men for court in default of 1,000 bail.

AMERICAN INGENUITY Once More Scores a Signal Triumph in an Important Field. OPTICAL GLASS MANUFACTURED At the Few Indiana Plant of a "Well-Known Pittsburg Firm. THOROUGH TESTS HADE BI BRASHEAE Optical glass for the making of telescopic lenses, prisms and photographic cameras has been made at Elwood, Ind., by George A. Macbeth & Co., of this city. It is stated by Mr. F. M. Gessner that sufficient has been Accomplished to demonstrate beyond doubt tbat this country will no longer be forced to depend upon Europe for a supply of optical glass. ' , The optical glass department has been in operation during several weeks, and it is said the manufacture has passed the experi mental stage. Several alterations of the furnace were required before it could be got to Work properly, but several pots of glass have been made and a number of pieces polished and rigidly tested by John A. Brashear, of Allegheny, and pronounced absolutely perfect, and as Mr. Brashear in his business of many years has used the glass of air foreign manufacturers his opinion is accepted as final. Some Fine Work on Hand. At Mr. Brashear's workshop a prism is being made for Prof. Michelson, Clark Uni versity, Worcester, Mass., 2Jx3J inches, and a second in the rough, but with the ends, polished and found perfect, is being made for Prof. Langley, nfthe Smithsonian Institute, Washington. This is 5x6 inches, one of the largest in the world. Mr. Bra shear has had a .20-inch lens cast, and he will polish and finish it for exhibition nt the Columbian Exposition in Chicago next year. Scientific men all over tbe country have been absorbingly interested in the ex periments, as they have heretofore been compelled to depend on foreign glass makers for lenses and prisms. There are less than half a dozen factories in the world making optical glass. They are in Munich, Jena, Paris and Birmingham. The manufacture has been closely guarded. In Neufchatel, in 1745, a Swiss 'named Gninand was born, and lie be came a watchmaker. He attempted to make a telescope and succeeded, and being compelled to make his own lens, discovered that by stirring the melt in the pot for 15 to 20 minutes at stated intervals, he secured a perfectly homogeneous glass, overcoming the tendency of the lead used to settle to the bottom and producing spots and stratifi cations differing in density and diffractive power. A Big Step In Advance. Edward Feil, who superintended the making of this glass at Elwood, is a great grandson of Guinand, the Swiss watch maker, and under Mr. Feil's direction the lens used at tbe Lick Observatory, 'Califor nia, was cast in 1882. He is the son of Feil, of the firm of Feil, Pere & Mantois, Paris. This country has many skillful makers of scientific instruments, and much of their worlc has found a market among European scientists, but our makers have hitherto been compelled to first import lenses and prisms, bringing them from the countries to which they were subsequently returned. The industry is a rather extensive one, as scarce any boy or girl feels content now unless they possess a Kodak and an opera gloss, while in hilly countries no res idence is complete unless furnished with a field glass.
