It had its fur-trading period intimately associated with the strug gle between France and England lor predom inance on this continent. In that struggle the colonies learned their strength, Mere freed from an argresive Joe upon their frontier, and found their leader, George Washington, lie erected a fort on the present site ot Pittsburg, and not far away acquired his first military renown by skill fully protecting the retreat of Braddock's army after the latter's disastrous defeat. Pittsburg then had its backwoods town period, followed by the introduction of such industries as depend upon manual labor and skill. Machinery came nest, then the discovery of coal and iron, with a mad scramble after riches money the sole goal comfort, joy, refinement, art, intellectual vleasure.all ignored. During this.time Pitts burg earned and gloried in the title of "the Smoky City. " It was a large Vulcan forge, reeking with half-consumed gases and smothered with floating carbon. Fittbarsers learning How to Lire. Pittsburg to-day has made money, has a large leisured class, has awakened to the joys of proper living. The city has been greatly brightened and becomes every year pleas.nter to look upon and live in. Short sighted people say the change is due to the discovery and utilization oi natural gas in place ot coal. But this is not so. The change is in the nature of the people them sehorv Fuel gas aided and hastened the transformation already determined on. incf, some sources of natural gas have tailed, but the foundries and factories de pendent upon them have not reverted to the old air blotting, ..-apteful methods of consuming coal. New methods of combus tion have been devised, and manufacturers turn their coal into gas by processes which rtilize ever heat-producing element in the luel, which completely release the stored energy in the coal, converting it into flame and ah with no residue of poisonous fumes or beauty destroying soot. o now the purifying iorces ever at work ir. nature, aided by the energy and newly awakened athetic perception of the peo ple, arc making a haiidsorae city of Pitts burg, one wholly pleasant to live in. Such chance as this is going on everywhere throughout the country, but the unresting enerzy which, combined with nature's en dowments has made this the iron and steel center ot the continent, has accomplished more in this humanitarian direction and in shorter time here than elsewhere, and is still at work. More Money Than Many Sjatcs. .According to a report of the Chamber. of Commerce just issued there are in Pitts burg .1,(570 industries representing a capital otS,392,240f employing 134,097 persons, paying in wanes 5(50,780,8.18 annually, and producing each year 5350,201,925 worth of manufactured goods. In 1S00 Pittsburg had 1,565 inhabitants; in 1820, 7.24S; in 1840, 21,115: in 1860, 49,217; m lbSO, 156,351, and in 1890, 23S.473, an in crease for the last decade ot 82,084. Alle ghenv City in 18S0 had 78,681. and in 1S90, 104,!67, ail increase of 26,288. Allegheny county, which is practically Pittsburg, writ large, had 551.S56 inhabitants in 1890, an in crease ot UI5,Ha7 otcrits population in 1880. The value ot the taxable real estate in Allegheny coutitv in IsSO was 175,356,766, and in 1890, $202,611,357. So lew people are able to grasp the real import of figures that these will not put Pittsburg in its proper perspectie, but the Jollowing facts should : The cash resources ol Pittsburg's incorporated banks are larger than those of any one of 33 States and Tenitories, double those of all the banks of Virginia, $10,000,000 more than those of In duiij. and ?17,000,000 more than those of Ti-ias. The capital surplus and deposits of the (57 Allegheny count- banks aggregate 5105,000,000. or one-fifth the total amount houn by all the banks, national, State and private, of Pennsylvania. In 1890 the clear ings at the Pittsburg Clearing House aggre gated 902,550,025, ail increase of over 500,000,000 above the gross amount in 1880. lis Facilities for Kecreatfon. So much for the merely material side of Pittsburg. What of its social side, of its comtorts and and opportunities for recre ation? To travel lrom auy part of the city to another is made easy by 13 lines of street railway, operating 100 miles of track. In seven of these electricity furnishes the uiotie power, in three cables are used, and ihree still cling to horses. Nine power in clines make the uphill journeys of foot pas engers e.is. There are six theaters and une museum. In the two cities there are 2bl churches, representing all denomina tions. .Most ot these buildings are exceed ingly handsome, stately and grand. Pitts burg has 65 school buildings, with 32,57S pupils in attendance, under the instruction ot 60S teacher-. Allegheny City has 22 school buildings, with lb.000 pupils and 292 teachers. These figures do not include private and parochial schools, of which there are mauy. Se en public libraries are maintained in the two cities. Its Schenlev Park will soon be one ol the most beautiful and largest in the country. Tor the relief of the sick eight hospitals are maintained. Both cities have magnifi cent water uorks, and rejoice in the fact that they use more water per capita than any other cities in the world. Of parks there are two measuring together 550 acres, and both natuially beautiful and main tained in liandsome fashion. Pittsburg manufactures newspapers for the whole couctrv side. There are 70 published here. (i these the more important are The Pitts-iu-bc DISPATCH, J'ost, Commercial Gazttte, thrcnue'e Jeleffrapn, iMacr, nines, J'ress, J'reiJieitt-J-'rcmui and Pitlsburoer UeobadiUr. Coinpllincntu 1'rnm a High Authority. The PiTTsauKG Dispatch, the foremost and most influential journal of Pittsburg, vas established in 1846, since which time its growth has been steadily progressive, not alone in business and circulation, but in the esteem of its readers and the general public. Its policv has always been "onward and upward." It is considered one of the 'great" newspapers of America. Its pro gressiveness, absolute fearlessness, inde pendence and comprehensive news features iae made it in point of merit second to no newspaper published in the United States. Its lecognized position as "the leading newspaper" ot Western, and Central Penu lt lvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia is never questioned, and it is considered throughout the Union as one of the stand ards ot excellence in all of the salient fea tures that make a great newspaper. The Dispatch's utterances, both in its edi torial and news columns, are considered as "authority" everywhere on account of its reputation for reliability and veracity. The DisrATCH last year moved into and now occupies its own commodious building on Smitbfield and Diamond streets, which, as a newspaper"buildlng, I second to none between 2Tew York and San Francisco for its convenience and adaptability. The building ia as completely fire-proof in con struction as it la possible to make any structure. The front is built of the best quality of Bearer county (Pa.) sandstone, the bases being of New England granite, highly polished. Its location is the most central in the city, being only a bloct from the postoffice, while all around and about it are the main business houses -of Pitts burg. The entire equipment of the build ing is new. Furniture, fittings, machinery, presses, type, appliances and accessories are all ol the newest designs, embodying the latest improvements. The City's f nnday Newspapers. The sworn circulation of The Dispatch is 32,000 daily, 62,000 Sundays, 12.000 weekly; and the character of its constitu ency renders it the most valuable adver tising medium in Pittsburg. The Sunday edition has especially been a marvel of growth, for its circulation at the present time, which is greater than the combined circulation of all the other Pittsburg Sun day newspapers, covers mostexhaustively the entire region within a radius of 100 miles ot PitUburg. The advertising patron age of the daily and Sunday editions of The Dispatch is greater than that of any two other Pittsburg newspapers; the local merchants finding its columns indispensable, while shrewd and successful general adver tisers from Maine to California invariably use its columns, because they have tested and proved the paper to be the most valua ble and remunerative advertising medium in Pittsburg. There are 84 hotels in the cities, with ac commodations for 8,000 guests. Chief of these is the Monongahela House, famed the country over. Other large houses aie the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Hotel Anderson, Hotel Duquesne and Hotel Scblosser. Iu so wealthy a town it is natural that there should be a rapid enhancement of realty values. In the last decade the tax able values of Pittsburg and Allegheny City have been increased by upward of 570.000,000. A notable feature of the City's growth is the improvement of its architec ture. Many handsome public buildings have been erected and better taste is dis played in the construction of private resi dences. There has also been a rapid devel opment of suburban properties consequent upon the extension of transit facilities. Do Business on a Large Scale. Business operations in Pittsburg all seem to be on a grandiose scale, and after one has been there a little while and become used to seeing the enormous manufacturing plants of the city, it is not surprising to learn that one real estate firm alone has at the present time KOJOOO.OOO worth of real estate upon its books. Pittsburg's great growth must continue, as in the past, to be in the accretion of in dustries. For these there is no better lo cated town in the country. Twenty thou sand miles ot river transportation are open to its products, and three of the greatest railway aggregations in the country com pete strenuously for its freights, the Penn sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio andVander b'ilt systems. At its doors are illimitable stores of coal, iron and natural gas. Gath ered within its limits is ahost of the most skilled mechanics in the country. The people are habituated to industry, trained to economics of production. Invention is in the air: the inspiration of competition, the atmosphere of suggestion everywhere. Last year the total freight into and out of Pittsburg bv rail aggregated 34.638.'3l6 tons. and 417 trains, making thirteen miles of cars enter and depart from Pittsburg daily. The city contributes more freight to the railways than the city of New York. Onr Coal Is 'World Famous. Pittsburg owes its industrial pre-eminence primarily to coal. Somewhere in the thirties it was discovered that coal of fine quality and in generous abundance could be mined in the neighborhood, and in 1840 the first boat load of Pittsburg black diamonds was floated down the river to Cincinnati. The operation entailed a loss upon the ven turesome person who undertook it, but the marketable character of the coal was estab- j lished, and more and more energy began to be devoted to the exploring of the, district's entombed wealth. Pittsburg is the center ot the richest bitn-1 minons coal field yet exploited in this country, and no ether bituminous coal ap proaches that mined here in quality. Hence the enormous strides made by the city in manufacturing, and the constant demand from all parts of the country for Pittsburg coals. The river coal interests centering there employ over 10,000 men. The average yearly production oi coal in the district is about 100,000,000 bushels. The article continues at considerable length to exploit other features of Pitts burg's progress. HE IS NOT JACK THE RIPPER. Police Officer Think Deeming Is Only Try ins to Get Buck to England. Lojtdok, March 26. The Liverpool po lice who have charge of the Rain Hill case have no further knowledge of the con fession said by a Melbourne paper to have been made by Deeming than that contained in press dispatches from Melbourne. The story of the confession has caused an immense sensation in the Bain Hill district, but it was not required to con vince the residents there that Deeming had killed the women and four children found at Dinham villa. The Scotland Yard authorities have re ceived no private information from Melbourne regarding the confession, and they attach little importance to Deeming's statement that he' killed two of the Whitecbapel women. They say they believe Deeming's object in making that confession is to secure a remand and to be brought to England. This they add is a well known trick of criminals. They giveas their reason for saying that Deeming was not the mur derer of Franres Cole the fact that' at the time she was killed Deeming was serving a nine months' sentence at Hull for the theft of a quantity of jewelry. IXCITEMINT ON OLD AVENUE. Tho Famous Hole-ln-the-IVall Gutted by riro This Horning. An alarm of fire was turned in at 1:05 o'clock this morning from box 36 for a fire in the store and residence of N. Miller, 18 Old avenue. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Miller says he and his wife had retired, and he was awakened by his wife and only had time to pull on his tiousers. Mrs. Miller and he were compelled to jump lrom the second-story window. After the fire had been put out Miller made a search of his room and found a pair of trousers in which he had over S100. He claims his stock was worth over ?300 and there was an insurance of $500, but he could not remember in what company it was placed. The building is a two-story frame', and was at one time famous in police circles, when Mrs. King ran there what was known as the "Hole-in-the-AVall,' and the thirsty wet their whistles at any"price ranging from 2 to 15 cents a drink.

MILBANK, The Spirited Second of Mr. Borrowe, Who Is Himself a Fighter. THE TEXT OP TAB HYPOTHETICAL CASE fSFXCIAl TELZOBAX TO THE DIlrATCtM XkV Yob's. March 26. Interest in the Drayton-Borrowe affair for the time.. being has shifted almoit entirely from the two principal figures to Mr. Harry Vane Mil bank, Mr. Borrowe's spirited second, and the complications with the Due de Moray and Edward Fox growing ont of the pub lication of the correspondence of the un fought duel. Mr. Milbank has the reputa tion of settling little misunderstandings in a rather summary manner, and, according to his own statement, there are very serious misunderstandings between him and Ed ward Fox and the Due de Moray. The cablegram from Mr. Fox on Friday, announcing that it was he who had given out the correspondence for publication, pro voked Mr. Milbank's condemnation, and his grievance against the Due de Moray is that the latter made public the terms of the hy pothetical case submitted by Mr. Milbank, on which the Duke decided that Mr. Dray ton could not demand a duel from Mr. Bor rowe. - The Hypothetical Cfs as Stated. This letter, as It was originally printed in the papers here, Mr. Milbank said, was a garbled misrepresentation of what he wrote. Since then the Duo de Moray is reported to have given ont in Pans a copy or the letter in his own handwriting, exnetly as Mr. Mil bank wrote it. This reads as follows: Case submitted to me February 10, 1892: 11 r. and Mrs. A. resided In the country, some six or seven years ago, and Hr. B. lived on an adjoining property. Mr. B. paid a good deal of attention to Mrs. A., but it was not until Ave years ago that Mr. Abe came possessed of some- incriminating cor lespondence, and, meeting Mrs. A. and Hr. B. in the drawing room of his own house, oharted them with being too intimate. From that date Mr. A. and Mr. B. did not speak. Last September Mr. A procured, bv threats. a written confession from his wire. Armed with that dooumont, and under plea or sav ing his wife and children from scandal, he succeeded in obtaining an agreement by which his wife, ont of her income or 7,000 per annum, agreee to pay him X 1,000 per annum for personal expenses, 3,800 for maintenance of ohlldren and with tho re maiiMer to keep up nn establishment far himself, children and heiself. She also agreed, under force of pressure, that if she should see or write to B. again, to pay A. 2.500 per annnm and give him charge of the children. Detectives Utilised as IVJtnesses. About a month ago A and two detectives discovered Mrs. A and B. at luncheon In a private parlor of the hotel, where she had made an, appointment to meet her solicitor, and after pointing ont Mrs. A and B. to de tectives for Identification, said he would take possession of the children and exact 2,500 per annum. When solicitors of Mr. and Mrs. A. ex amined the marriage settlement they dis covered that Mrs. A had no power whatever to make any such settlement of her revenue, and It was after this discovery that A invited B. to come to Paris to receive an Invitation to a passage at arms. ThenB. came to Parts and put himself in the hands of his seconds, C. and D. Those gentlemen, niter a. eareim oxammation of the situation came to the conclusion that A had forfeited all lights to a hostile meeting, as such aotion should have been taken on his first proof of intimacy between Mrs. A. and C. and not after theie was strong probability that tho income for which he had condoned the offense he .claimed had been committed would cease .to- be paid. C and D. finally offcied to Jiavo the decision of a Jury of honor, -and after waitings hours for n reply lrom A., sent another letter requesting an answer by noon of tho rollowliig day. The answer camo that evening, declining to lay the mat ter before a Jury of honor, and ended bv making insulting remarks nbont B., and threatening to publish that he had "refused to meet him. Efforts were made this afternoon and to night to find Mr. Milbank in order to sub mit this letter to him for verification, but ihe was not at Mr. Borrowe's house and could not be found. The letter is to the same general effect as the one previonsly printed, but differs from it materially in the wording. MURDERED BY STRIKERS. A GUARD AT A STOVE WORKS STABBED IN THE NECK. IS ITefVas a Detective Agency Employe and Threatened Too Often to Shoot Three Men Attack Him and Pat Him Ont of the Way. Xew Yobk, March 20. SpecULl A man, supposed to be Burt T. Arnold, an employe of a detective agency in Brooklyn, who was working for the Siznonds Manu facturing Company in Long Island City, was murdered to-night by a gang of strikers while he was on his way to the factory. The Simonds Company makes stoves, and its works were built about a year ago, out on the meadows between Greenpoint and Blissville. A strike began a month ago iu the factory, and the molders about 30 went out. There were threats made, and the molders kept a picked guard of a dozen or more men to intercept any new workmen who might seek employment in their places. The company set its own guard around its property, day and night. The man supposed to be Arnold was one of the men thus em ployed. He was about 21, more than six feet tall, and the police say he angered the strikers by walking around his beat outside the works" with a big pistol sticking in his belt, and threatening to shoot anyone who interfered with him. Arnold went to the factory every night about 6 o'clock. He was on his way there to-night when he was attacced. He had a luncheon done up in paper, and a cartridge belt around bis waist, but apparently no weapon with him. One witness says he saw three men strug gling with Arnold. One had hold of his legs, another had him around the waist and a third was climbing upon his neclc. Then Arnold fell. He had been stabbed in the neck, severing the jugular. Several ar rests have been made. A YOUNG LAST'S SUICIDE. Crazed by Domestic Trouble She Iaps From a Ferryboat In Midstream. Bellaire, March 26. Special' Miss Jennie Summon, aged 17 years, daughter of H. V. Summon, a promineut merchant of this city, committed suicide by .drowning in the Ohio rher to-night. She was crossing on a ferryboat and when about midway across the river she leaned into the water. She had threatened to do the deed, but no one paid any attention to her. Domestic trouble is said to have been the cause. The body has not been recovered. A Icls'atlve Contest. The contest for the Legislature in the Fourth district is just now attracting con siderable attention from the politicians. The district is Democratic. John Kearns, who represented the district, is busy setting up delegates, and J. J. Sullivan, the hand some young railroader, is- developing a strength that is gratifying to his friends. Sullivan is said to be making a still-hunt campaign. Spring Saltings. For a good-fitting snit go to Pitcairn's, 434 Wood street- SLOW HORSES MADE SPEEDY. ELECTRIC SPURS USED ON A TTORN i OUT RACING NAG. A Hnndred-to-One Shot Brought in Win ner by an Electrician's Invention JeaJ oniy of a Rival Cansea the Snap to Be Given Away. - KewYobk, March26. Special. When Electrician P. Tobin bought the old racing horse Gyda last October Guttenburg horse men smiled. Tobin was green, and the sharps thought beihad been taken in. Gyda had been a good horse in her day, but she was old and was weak ening fast. In one of the first races in which the horse was entered she ran slowly until she got to the stretch, when she forged ahead with a marvelous "burst of speed and won the race. She paid her backers 100 for 1. Horsemen thought Gyda'a fine form rather suspicious, but they did not investigate. The horse did nothing extraordinary from that day on until last Friday Jockey Cook then rode her at five pounds over weight. The race was five-eighths of a mile. At the start Gyda was fifth. At the one-eighth she was sixth. Passing the quarters he ran fourth. On reaching the three-eighth Cook dropped his whip and fumbled in his jacket. Suddenly the old mare shot forward like a frightened deer. She was third at the thre-eeightb and was gaining at the half. Cook fumbled with his jacket again, and Gyda lost ground. In vain Cook tore at his blouse and used his rpurs. The horse was run out, she finished last. When Cook re turned to weigh out his overweight was nine pounds instead of five pounds. He was searched. 'Anelectrical apparatus was found under his jockey dress. This ap paratus consisted of a leather belt four inches wide, fastened at the ends by long leather thongs. On either side of the belt there were four metal cells the size of the cartridges used in a 10-bore gun. Each of these cells con tained a fluid. The tops of the cells were scaled with lead, and two wires protruded from each covering. The wires from the four cells on the right side of the- belt ran into an insulated wire about four feet long. This wire ran down Cook's leg, through a small hole in the back of his boots, and was attached to the spur. The wires connected with the cells on the left were arranged in the same manner. When Jockey Cook started the electricity by turning the lever and stuck his spurs into Gyda, the old mare felt the ttngling of the electricity and jumped forward to get away. xoDin attributed tne overweight to a leather pad slipped under the saddle' by some stable boy who disliked him or was jealous of Cook. Owner, horse and trainer were expelled from the track. TESTS OF PROJECTILES. Two Unsuccessful Ones of a John Ericsson Patent A Pneumatic Gnn Carriage Trial That Tamed Oat All Right. New York, March 2a The Ericsson gun and submarine projectile, invented years ago by John Ericsson, have been tested at Ft. Wadsworth. The gun used was pieced together from the old cast iron Ericsson gun, which was once mounted on the Destroyer. The "principle of the weapon is to project with accuracy a large charge of high explosive for a long distance without danger from premature explosion, while the projectile as soon as it strikes the water shoots under the water for a certain distance, converting Itself into what is virtually a Whitehead torpedo. The tests were carried on by the Board of Ordnance and Fortification, under General H. L. Abbot. Tho first shot was unsuccess ful. Tho projectile described a curve, and when it sank below the sur face it did not appear again, as it had beeu arranged to do, so that it could be .recovered. The steering apparatus appar ently refused to work, and the projectile was lost in the bay. The second shot was also unsuccessful,' as the projectile broke when it struck the water. The next test will take place soon. General Abbot went to the Sandy Hook army ordnance proving grounds to witness the tests with the pneumatic disappearing guu carriage, made for the Pneu matic Gun Carriage and Power Company, of Washington, by the South Boston Iron Works. The tests were satisfactory to Gen eral Abbot, as far they went. The trials are merely to determine whether the car riage shall be paid for by the Government. An Ancient Historic Macs Uncovered.

Pittsburg's Great Establishments, and the Greatest One of Them All. A great Lenten function has been the millinery openings of the various large buiiness'houses in town dnring the past week. A millinery opening;, since it is to nine out of every ten visitors of the femin ine persuasion the prefaee to a new bonnet, is an event eagerly expected, zealously en joyed and fondly cherished. A woman takes as keen a sense of duty with her to make the rounds of the millinery shops as she does to the missionary society. No less than six different- representative concerns were thus entertaining the ladies of Pittsburg last week, and "thousands, in order to compare the various departments and assortments, made close observations nd studies ot them all. At Kaufmanns' millinery bazaar (if is located on the third floor of the great store) the crowd was at all times the largest and most enthusiastic, and, if the-expressions of surprise And admiration which were beard on all sides may be counted' as votes, then Kaufmanns certainly have been unani mously elected as the'iasbionable millinery headquarters of the Twin Cities. A mere glance through Kaufmanns' mil linery department (which, 'by the way, is decidedly the largest and handsomest in the city) was sufficient to detcrmine'the result Yet the fact of their opening having so com pletely out-distanced the efforts put forth by the other establishments is due to superior energy and enterprise alone. The truth is Messrs. Kaufmanns consider no time nor talent wasted that is used in efforts to please their customers. Mr.' Henry Kaufmann. known in Paris as one of the keenest buy ers, and possessing artistic sensibility, is a regular and frequent visitor at the French capital and keeps close watch on every creation turned out by a Paris milliner. Nothing recherche misses him, and prestol off it goes to the Pittsburg house. It is not nnfrequently the case that achapeau exhib ited in a Paris shop may be seen a fortnight later adorning the head of a Pittsburg lady, thanks to the truly commendable enterprise of' Kaufmann Brothers. This naturally gives them a great advantage over other houses who buy through the New York im porter". In addition to their Parisian contributors, Kaufman us have their own artiste modistes, several of whom bring enviable professional records, not only from Paris, but London and New York as well. Their duties are to incorporate the ideas of the customer who does not just find in a pattern hat quite what she desires, with the thought and invention that goes to the getting up of a hat. Thus, Kauf manns' establishment practically earns for everv one ot their hats or bonnets the right to the distinctive title of "pattern." For a lesson in millinery you should visit their bonnet display. Among the clever artistes who have contributed to their show cases are: Madame Pouyanne, Madame Heitz Boyer, Madame Gosse, Madame Linn Faulkner, Madame Yirot, Madame Berthe and Madame Julie. Gosse inclines to buckles, flashing with rhinestones, in her creations, and every French milliner is following in her foot steps. Many of the most charming of Gosse's creations occupy a prominent place in Kaulmanns' show cases. Though Madame likes the flash of the rhinestones, she uses subdued colors. Her combination in one hat is green and brown, the bat itself being of brown straw and straw gimpe and the moire ribbon introducing the green. The hat is. nearly crownless, having at the front a halcyon bow and behind gracefully grouped ostrich tips. The next hat at first doesn't strike you. Then it strikes very hard. The entire brim is covered with ecru colored point' lace, to which the black straw is the foundation. The three colors intro duced in this hat are black, white and gold. The last color is seen iu felicitously ar ranged braid. Tee Pouyanne areation is principally a mass of frozen violets surrounding a crown of ecru colored point Inee, with, light blue ribbon as a cheerful contrast. Hcitz-Bover introduces what the woman who under stands the value of flowing lines will appre ciate. In a hat, an elegant affair of lace and brown, she has a tie of ribbon several yards in length. Midway a dainty rosette is placed, which, when the hat is on, is fast ened to the coifiure, the remainder of the ribbon depending down the back. This fancy is quickly being popularized. These few examples stand out pre-eminently, and for that reason are specifically described, but there are countless more equally well selected and beautifully harmonized effects in hats, and each with an idea to present and principally that of remembering that a human lace is to be underneath it. In conclusion a reference of commenda tion to the appointments and conveniences to be found in Kaufmanns' store, such as ladies' waiting, retiring and toilet rooms, is not amiss here, nor is a suggestion to other stores, where a painful lack of these conveniences is rightly construed into dis regard ot the comforts of customers, to speedily lollow suit.
