THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH SATURDAY, APRIL 80, 1892. !, t F mm BEN'S SHOES, '.Mrs. Martin, of London, Says I ewe is -uesuiieu. 10 dq mo Kext President. CITIZENSHIP 2J0 FACTOB. 3t Will Be Accomplished by a Mighty devolution of Mind ON AN EQUAL EIGHTS PLATFOBH. he Claims the Humanitarian Government Is the True Form. ARISTOCRACT OP GOOD BLOOD WANTED Probably tlio most unique women in the world nro Victoria C Woodhnll, now Mrs. John Biddulph Martin, of London, and Dennie C Claflin, now Lady Cook, the first lady bankers and reformers of America, as they style themselves. They came in from Xcw York on the limited last cveniue;, and registered at the Anderson. Sirs. Martin was accompanied by her husband, a venerable-looking man, who lias made a fortnnc as a banker in the English metropolis. Mr. Martin and his wife are members of the Eoyal "World's Fair Commission, and are now on their way to Chicago on Fair business. Mrs. Martin will go back to Lon don for two months, but return in October to open her campaign for the American Presidency. She sajs she is destined to be the next ruler of the United States, and ex- Speaker Heed, Harrison, Cleveland, Hill and other candidates will please take notice that they are not in the race. She is not clear in her explanation of how it will be done, but in a isionary way Rays it will ba accomplished by a "mind revolution." A Woman of Charming Presence. Mrs. Martin is a thorough woman, about 43 years old. Her hair is strongly tinged with gray, but she is active and vigorous, and is not masculine, as many people im agine. Oa the contrary, she has a sweet and rather handsome face. Indeed she is very lovable, and the average man would easily be won over by her agreeable man ners. She is terribly in earnest and a ter rific talker. Herein she does not differ from her sex. " she grows eloquent in expounding her bell she did last even ing to a small a nee of reporters at the Anderson, her cheeks red dened like a rose, and she was voted a very attractive and taking lady. Men will say she is visionary and imprac tical, but all who hear her will agree that the is wedded to the work that she has mapped out, the emancipation of woman. She believes in the equality of the sexes and equal rights. This is the platform on which she will make her canvass ior the Presidency. Lady cook is in hearty accord with her sister, but her character is quite different. She belongs to the nervous, energetic class of women that are able to take care of them selves. She make3 a good mainstav, and she says she is traveling with Mrs. Martin to encourage and help her in her mission. Once she ran for Congress, and though de feated, she has universally received the title oi honorable. Th, Woman of Dcstln-. The ladies are making arrangements for a rational conventiou to be held in Chicago early in October, when Mrs. Martin will be made the Presidental nominee. "lam," said Mrs. Martin, "a woman of destiny. It lias been known to me for more than a score of years that in the year JS02 I should be chosen to govern my people. It is destinV, and nothing can avert the decree. "When I left for America they told me in London that ur work was in England, but I said 'So, the United States is the place.' You know I am, an American, and I love tins dear old land of ours. The fact that 1 married an Englishman does not make me my the less a lankee. My nature ha changed."

"I advocate the creation of an aristocracy of blood as a remedy against those i nfluences operating toward the deterioration and deg radation of human beings. For various reasons I advocate such an aristocracy; but the most important reason is the object les son that such an aristocracy would be to hu manity in the value of healthy blood, good parentage and favorable environment" "But what will 'be the platform of your arty?" was asked. "'Our platform will be the same as that of 21 years ago "Equal Eights." While the conventiou in Chicago will be National, of course, we will have delegates hero from every country of the globe. A call is shortly to be sent out to the women of the world asking their co-operation in this woman' cause. A Woman's Political Campaign. "The time is now ripe for a woman's iiolitical campaign. I will not be the 'rcsidental candidate of any partv, but I expect the 'Equal Rights' jeople will affiliate with me. How will I bo elected? Not by ballot, to be sure It will 'be sentiment, the feeling of the mosses that will raise me to the Presidental chair. I believe woman is Intended lor the higher sphere of life. In the future it will not bo written in the. marriage ceremony, who gireth away this woman? There "will bo no ceremony. "Would I eliminate love and have marriages depend on the same principles used in breeding horses? Oh, no, love isjthe purest J ana nest in tlio world, it-glioma De tne foundation of all marriages." " Is woman to be tho governing power in the future? " was auother question. Mrs. Martin hesitated for a moment and then with slight irritation replied: "I can't answer that question to-night. It would take more than ten minutes. If you could see things from my educational standpoint, you would understand my system. In the future the selection of a ruler for the people will not depend on the votes of the ma jority." ENLARGING CARNEGIE HALL" lis Fonndor Will Slako Important Chances In tho Butrtlnc Upon Ills Return From Jurnpo Thousands "Turned Awajr Weekly From the Organ Kecltatr. That tho people of tho two citie3 like music has been shown in many ways of late. Tho proposition of TllE DISPATCH to es tablish free concerts In the parks has met with such favor that no one can doubt the desire of the masses to hear good music at every opportunity. Another proof of the fact that music is not allowed to go to waste when there is no prohibitive tariff of admission is afforded in the tremendous success of the free organ re citals in Carnegie Hall, Allegheny. Mr. Harry B. Ecker, the orgariist, said yes terday that lor the last two months he has been obliged to turn away at least 1,000 peo ple every Saturday because they could not possibly squeeze into the halL This, too, with an audience of 2,000 people inside, sit ting and standing. Last Saturday, when Mr. arid Mrs. J. K. Murray assisted, the jam was greater than ever. Mr. Ecker says he always gets to the hall some time before the hour' announced for the commencement of the recital, but he has to fight his wav to the organ through a solid mass of peopfe every Saturday. There is strong probability of the hall being considerably enlarged when Mr. Car negie returns from his European trip. He is willing to do anything he can to give greater accommodation, and it has been pointed out to him that there is a space of 00 feet on the Diamond street side that could be taken into the music hall, with 10 feet in length that could also be added. The probability is that this enlargement will be made during the summer, so that when the recitals are taken op in the tall there will be room for several hundred more people. Mr. Carnegie takes the greatest interest in the recitals, and is anxious to give as many as possible the privilege of enjoying them. At this afternoon's organ recital City Organist Ecker will be assisted by the Schumann Ladies' Quartet and Mr. Eduard Vignau, flute soloist. LIMA OIL PBOVES COSTLT. Looking Tor Cheaper Fuel for the Brilliant Pumping Station. Chief Bigelow and Mayor Gourley had a conference yesterday concerning the .fuel used at the Brilliant pumping station. The city now has a contract with tho Stand ard Oil Company for Lima oil which is piped directly to the boilers, but is costing far more than was anticipated. "When the oil system was first adopted it was figured that all the steam necessary could be raised at an expense of about $7,500 a month. It has been a little over six months now since the use of the new fuel began, and its cost has steadilv increased from ?9,000 the first month, to 512,000 for last month. This figure is considered too high, but coal would cost nearly as much, counting the cost of handling coal and ashes, and would make an enormous quantity of smoke, and the only alternative, is natural as. The Philadelphia Company has been jeping a close watch on the city's expense luel, and, it is said, have intimated that v will furnish all that will be required for Brilliant station at $7,000 a month for a d of six months, but no longer. Some k this offer is made in order to get the tor a customer, and that when the six ths expire the price will be doubled, on the other hand it is argued that even ch is the case, the company has a larger )ly and smaller consumption in the six mer months, and can afford to supply citv cheaply in that period, and that ould be to the city's advantage to take company's offer and then return to oil cheaper fuel when the contract expires.

Scott Frnmlsed to Stay at Bomr'bnt Broke His Word. yf. H. Scott had a hearing before Alder nan Kerr yesterday on a charg'e of desertion and non-maintenance preferred by his wife, Sadie E. Scott. Some time ago Scott left his home, oa Fortieth street, and went to work for Baldwin & Graham, stove man ufacturers at New Castle. His wife entered information against him, and he compro mised the case. He promised to stay at home. He kept his word for abont two weeks, when he went to his former place. His wife communicated with him, bnt he re fused to return. She' entered suit and Con stable Jack brought him back. He was held in (500 bail for a trial at court ALLEGHENY B0Y3 IN TB0UBLE. Tliey Start for the World's Fair and May Get to a Reform School. City Marshal Hagan, of Massillon, O., is in a quandary as to what disposition to make of the four Allegheny boys that he intercepted on their way to the World's Fair. As the parents of young Eobertson are indifferent as to what becomes of their son, and no word has been received irom relatives of the others, the Marshal has de cided that, if he can legally do so, he will send the quartet to the State Beform School.

Chairman ferry Becelres an Offer of a Tract of Land. - MATOE GOCKLEI IS IMPBESSED BI IT Tlio Committee on Charities has been called to meet at 3 o'clock this after noon, when it is expected something de cisive will be done toward the purchase of a new Poor Farm. The only business tbfct has been regularly referred to the commit tee Is the ordinance presented at last Mon day's meeting ot Councils providing for the purchase of the Alexander farm at Hulton, but it is expeoted that something new will be developed in conneotion with the matter before the meeting closes. Chairman Perry intends to submit to the committee two letters he has received from parties at Courtney, a few miles above Mc- Keesport, offering a farm there with 40 acres ot river frontage at $225 per aore. The letters are addressed to Mr. Perry as 'Chair man of the Charities Committee, and are each signed by James Loutell, Thompson Nolder and Dr. H. J. Billick.' The first letter is as follows: . Another Slto Offered the City. Wo noticed In tlio papers the lntontion of Pittsburg Councils to purchase a City Foor Farm, we offered, In regular order, at tne tlmo sites for Poor Farm purposes woro of fered.a sito on the Monnngnhola,25ml1cs from tlio clty.on the JlcICfc B. It. It .a farm of from 100 to 300 acres. For richness of soil, location of land, etc, this farm was equal, if not superior, to any farm offered at the time for the purpose. The farm was visited at that time by the Chief of the Department of charities, and ho pronounced it a good farm. It not asking too tnuoh of the Charities Committee, we would he pleased to have you visit the fnrm mid pass judgment on the location. We think that after visiting and viewing this property we can convince the committee that there nro sites this one especially that nie Ju9t ns nvallablo for Citv Fnrm purposes as anv other farm vet offered, and for less money per acre. Wo can show to acres with river frontage, now being snrdened and under a high state of cultivation nnd. without doubt, the finest piece of bottom land you will find on the Monongaliela river, a hill that seems to be formed naturally for a reservoir, as fine (arming land on the hill as can be found anywhere, plenty of good run nine snrinss. coal, bnildimr stone, limestone. nil convenient and some on the fnrm. There can be a wide street graded from the bottom to the hill, giving good, comfortable grade. From a Hundred Acres Up This tract of land can be had in any num ber of acres from 1C0 to 800 and for a less price per acre than the farm offered oiftho Allegheny river. We think It would be ad visable for the Charities Committee to visit this laud before making a purchase. The next letter, received a few days ago, is an answer to a note from Chairman Perry asking specifications as to price. It reads: Tonr note in regard to the price per acre is at hand. Wo offer this fnrm, not that it is inferior to others, at the price of $2Z5 per acre. Land that alongside of our bot tom land that cannot be bought for less than $50i) to $S00 per acre. We nre willing to sub mit it to the committee if, after viewing the natural advantages of the location, richness of the soil, etc., you decide it is not availa ble as a Poor Farm site, we will bo satisfied. .Any further information desired will be gladly given. Chairman Perry says he will present the letters to the committee at to-day's meeting and will recommend that the committee visit this larni, or any other that seems reasonably available, In'a body. He thinks tne committee is tne proper body to look: into the propositions made for Poor Farms, now that Chiet Elliot has intimated an un willingness to go any further in that direc tion. Ferry Is Won by the Dssorlptlon. Mr. Pcrrv savs he has never seen the farm offered through him, but Judges from the description given that it would be in nearly every way desirable and "Worthy at least of inspection. Mayor Gourley is favorably impressed with the offer made. Said he: 'That sounds like n fair offer, and it the farm is all the parties represent It to be I would not oppose the purchase of it I don't remem ber of having seen it when we visited farms offered last year, and don't even remember that it was offered, even though the owners say it was. One feature of the proposition strikes me favorably, and that is the offer to sell any part of it above 100 acres. That you know is the limit I place on the size of the iarm, and I don't think we should buy more." There is no record in the City Clerk's office of the above farm ever having been formally offered, and if Chief Elliot looked it over he must have done so when he was out on a still hunt for options last fall. The Chief could not be seen last night in regard to the matter. GUESSING AFKEE BBIDGE SITE, Chler Bigelow Thinks a Selection Should Be Made and Work Started Soon. Chief Bigelow offered to make a bet yes terday that he could guess the location of the proposed free bridge to the Southside. He was in conversation with a number of other gentlemen at the time, and the new bridge was under consideration. "I don't pretend to know where the bridge will be placed," he explained, "but I am willing to make the wager on my judgment of pub lic sentiment." Xo one seemed willing to try to win the wager and the guess was not'made. Mr. Bigelow, in further discussing the question, said he was in lavorof starting on the bridge at once, but it would probably require three or four months to get an ordinance prepared and passed and another to let the contract. If anything is to be done this year it must be done now. .A proposition is now talked of to allow the Southside people to select two sites,one in the vicinity of South Tenth street and the other up about Twenty-second or Twenty-fourth streets, and then de cide which shall be chosen by popular vote. USED A CLUB 0V HER B0T. The Police Arrest Mrs. McGowan While Beating Ber Children. Mrs. Kate McGowan, who lives on "Web ster avenue, was arrested last evening by Officer Sommerville and locked up in the Eleventh ward station on a charge of dis orderly conduct It is alleged by the officer that Mrs. McGowan was in a drunken con dition, and when the officer arrived at the house she was in the act of beating one of her mall children with a club. She struck the child over the head with the club before the officer could interfere. The case will be turned over to Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society. BOB BUKDnTTE'3 PATCH to-morrow. fan In THE DIS- Palnting Connty Bridges. The County Commissioners and Controller met yesterday and opened bids for the painting of 19 county bridges. Three bids were received the Atlas Paint Company, at $1,060; B, Brewer, at $98j, and M. Mar shall, at $719. The contract was not let, however, as it was desired to consult County Engineer Davis on the'subject first, and for that reason the matter was postponed. Betnrnlng From the South Sea Islands. George Daisie, a Scotchman, who went to the South Sea Islands when a youngman about 20 years ago, married a relative of the Queen Pomero and became wealthy, is expected in this city to-day with his wife and 13-year-old daughter to visit his brother, a resident of Oakland. airrtrA ' i lT. - mtiiiir THE BAKER BALLOT MUDDLE Both the Mayor and the Sheriff Will Men the Special EltctlonFrocIamatlon Dl x "crated With the low Lawyers Have Trouble to Straishten It Oat. Attorneys representing Mayo Gourley, Sheriff McCIeary' and the County Commis sioners met yesterday and discussed at Bome length the Baker ballot law. They also dis cussed the question whether the Mayor or the Sheriff shonld issue the proclamation for elections under' the new law. On Thursday Mayor .Gourley issued a proclamation for the Couneilmanio elec tion in the Thirty-third ward, Pittsburg, where the contest' at the regular election between Perry and LougbVon resulted in a tie vote. Some of the ' attorneys argued that under the new law the Sheriff should issue the proclamation while others con tended that the Mayor was the proper per son to issue the proclamation because, they argued, that under the -law the Mayor has the same authority as he had under the old act. "When " Issuing tho proclamation for the special eleotion, Mayor Goujley was in doubt as to his authority. He consulted the City Attorney, who advised the Mayor to go ahead. At the conference yesterday tho -attorneys themselves were not entirely clear on the subject, and as a result Sheriff Mc CIeary will indorse the Mayor's proclama tion to guarantee-its legality. The new law requires that a proclamation for an election by the Mayor shall be Issued at least 42 days before the election, while it also requires that the Sheriff's proclamation shall only be issued ten days before an elec tion. . Senator John Neeb, who was ealled Into the conference on the subject, says the Baker ballot law has greatly confused every body. "It is especially annoying to the politicians of Pittsburg and Allegheny just now. The Baker, law. 'I he went on. "re quires that party nominations shall be made' as aays Deiore tne election, anu unuer tnis law this is the 'last -day upon which nominations can be made. To get a name on the regular tickenfter to-day it will be necessary for the candidate to secure' the names of at least one-third tho voters of his ward to sign a petition to the County Com missioners asking that the name be put on the regular ticket. Otherwise the ticket will be printed with blank spaces upon which the voters will be compelled to write the name of the candidate who has not com plied with the law." "This law must be repealed," one of the attorneys who attended the conference said. "Annoying features of it turn up every day and every day we are more thoroughly con vinced that it will not da It will cost the State several million dollars to get it into working order, and then I think by that time people will be so disgusted with it that tbey wilt demand that the law be re pealed. It is an infernal nuisance," the speaker concluded. GLAD 70 BE BELIEVED, Mr. Dempster Thinks the Coal Shipments Won't Be Any larger Than Ist Tear. Alexander Dempster, who has retired from the coal business, went to Kew York last evening. He says he is very glad to be relieved. Some men make money in coal while others have very little to show for their work. Mr. Dempster Bays the freight rate was cut 5 cents, but no sooner was it done when some of the operators reduced the price of coal irom 2 to 5 cents per ton. They were afraid the market wonld be dull, and rushed in to get the business. A few of the Hocking Valley shippers have been cut ting the price of coal, but Mr. Dempster thinks only the men who need money have done so. He figures that the railroads will not be able to carry any more coal this season than they did last year, so that the reduction in freight rates will not help Pittsburg very much. Already cars are scarce, and they are becoming fewer and farther between every day. He believes in the end that the Hocking Valley operators, who whined so mnoh about making the freight rates equal, will get their share of the trade as usual. ' BATES TO BE BEST0BED. No More Slashing In the Southwest After Mtfy O. The Southwestern freight rates, which have been badly cut up for some months, will be restored at a meeting of the lines May 9 at St Louis. Most ot the roads in terested have representatives in Pittsburg. The M., K. & T. line is held responsible for the slashing, but once more it has agreed to maintain the tariffs. The .passenger department of the Central Traffio Association will hold a meeting in Chicago next week. The local general pas senger agents will attend. The question of summer and party rates will be discussed. No changes ot any consequence over the rates of last year will be made. CB1PPLES AT A BALL. A Sonthslde Reception That Was Both Funny and Profitable. The reception of the Southside Cripples' Athletic Club, at the Birmingham Turner Hall, last night was a big success. There was a large crowd in attendance and-they thoroughly enjoyed the affair. The Great Eastern Italian Orchestra played '-The Old Geaser," and other appropriate melodies and a considerable amount of amusement was gotten out of the attempts of some of the cripple's to dance to the music. Financially the affair was all it could be desired, and the club will have a neat sum as a result Violated a City Ordinance. The proprietor of the Hotel Arthur, at the corner of South Twenty-seventh and Carson streets, has been annoyed by boys loafing in front of the hotel and around the corner near it. Numerous complaints have been made to the police. Last night, while the customary crowd was obstructing the sidewalk, Officer Iteich walked in on them and arrested Edward Hartnctt, Sonrlght Stachen and "Willie Mangaa and locked them up. Will Discuss Taxation. It has been semi-officially announced that there will be a meeting of the citizens of the Thirty-first and Thirty-second wards in the schoolhouse of the la'.tcr to-night There does not seem to be much of a head to the movement, but it is altogether probable some kind of a meeting will be held. The topics to be discussed involves the questions of taxation, free bridges and parks for the Southside. The residents of all the hill wards are interested. The Bootblack Got Away. S. "W. Bonney was in the Central station last night on a charge of disorderly con- duct. The prisoner got into an altercation with a bootblack on "Water street yesterday aiternoou and the boy struck him in the face with a cobble stone. The boy managed to get away, but Bonney was captured. Dr. Mpyer fixed up the prisoner's damaged optics. Angostura. Bitters make health, makes bright, rosy cheeks and happiness. 8:50 P. M.

Attorney-Tonne Mates an Odd Flea'in Max . Schneider's Case. L, P. STONE BESTS OX THE TESTIMONI Max Schrleider'g hearing was concluded yesterday before Judges Collier and Slagle. AH the testimony in the matter of selling to minors was heard, and Attorneys Young and Stone made a plea for their respective clients. As on the hearing before, the room was crowded with politicians and saloon keep ers. There were also a number of promi nent attorneys who watched the case with interest Great-interest is being taken in the case from the fact that it is also practically a trial for selling liquor to minors, with the additional feature that a combined effort was being made by outside parties to entrap Mr. Schneider with a view to hav ing his license refused. Attorney Young, for Mr. Schneider, made a plea that as this hearing was not on a rule to revoke a li cense, but simply the hearing ot an appli cant, the only questions the Court had to decide were necessity and fitness. At one time during the hearing the Conrt threatened to fine the attorneys for making remarks about a mustache that one of the minors wore. Testimony Given by Minors. Harry Boyle, who said he was only 18 years of age, said he had purohased beer in Mr. Schneider's place two weeks ago to night John Hamilton, another lad of 18, said he had met young Alexander, who was employed by" the Murphy Detective Agency, some weeks ago. They started for Allegheny. Young Alexander loaned him a dollar, with which he purchased a bottle of whisky and several drinks of beer from Mr. Schneider's bartenders. Hamilton got mixed when cross examined bv Mr. Younir and could not tell whether his testimony was the same as given before Magistrate McKenna the previous day. Aughbrey "Wilson, 19 years of age, testi fied that he had bought beer several times in the Hotel Federal Charles Cunning ham was put through a rather severe cross examination by Mr. Youne. Cunningham claimed to be 20 years of age, and when asked if he had not told the bartenders that he was over 21 he refused to answer. Abe Cornelius, John Fluty. George Geis inger, tfeorge Hays, Mrs. Jennie Hays and A. T. Brefiier did not answer when their names were called. Attachments had' been issued for three ot them, but Detectives Murphy and Deputy Sheriff Cunningham said they could not be found. A Bnddlng Mnstache Canses levity. James Knox, who said he was 20 years of age, but who appears to be 25. witha black mustache, said he had boughtoeer 12 or 15 times at Mr. Schneider's bar. A little levity over the young man's mustache brought a threat from Judge Collier that if it was continued those participating would be fined. Nearly all the boys on cross examination owned up that they were not clean shaven and some had dirty faces when they bought beer. Detective Murphy was called by the de fense. He said he had charge of the case lor the prosecution, and had collected tho evidence. He admitted that he had em ployed boys to entrap Mr. Schneider, but reiusea to sav Dy wnom ne was employed. Mr. Schneider was next put on the stand. His examination was lengthy. He ex plained In detail the usual precautions he always employed to avoid violating the law, particularly since he had been advised by a close friend that someono was trying to "do him up." Ho always remains around the bar every night, and employs a special officer every Saturday and all holidays to watch the place so that no drunken men or boys cain admission. Louis Brandt and Mr. Fisher, the? bartenders, testified as to the strict orders always given them by Mr. Schneider, and the means employed to avoid violations of the law. Officers McCnne and Loughrey and De tective Hesser, testified about being on duty at various times and preventing boys from going in. "ot Obliged to Refute Uesns. This closed tho testimony and Mr. Young made an argument in behalf of the appli cant holding that umiert he Brooks law, It was discretionary with the oourt to grant or re fuse Mr. Schneider's license. According to the fifteenth section of the law it is not mandatory upon them to refuse unless the applicant has been twice convicted of a vio lation. It was shown that Mr. Schneider was a fit person to have a license, that he had a house of nearly 40 rooms, and that the opposition against him was in the shape of concerted effort by officers of the law who employed boys after the fashion of the Law and Order Society to entrap their victims. He also pointed out to the court that the case bad been dismissed by Alderman Mc Kenna. Attorney Stone merely rested on the tes timony, arid said it was shown that Mr. Schneider even with extra precautions was unable to prevent violations of the law, and said he could see no reason why Mr. Schneidershotild be treated differently from any other applicant A number of petitions for rehearings were presented yesterday, roakinz so far a total ot vzo presented, ii. u. Uhristv filed a remonstrance asainst a rehearing in the case of Joseph Bedfern, of AVilmerding. C. C Montooth filed a petition for a re hearing in the case of the "Windisch Muhl nansen Brewing Company. Court will con vene this morning again at 10 o'clock, when several decisions are expected.

As announced exclusively in TnE Drs patch several months 'ago, the Allegheny Observatory is to be thrown open to the public. The improvements described then, which Prof. Keeler, the director, had in contemplation, have been completed. This includes a new observer'-s chair. In a for mal letter last night Prof. Keeier said: The Allegheny Observatory has hitherto not been open to visitors. It is a private Institution, supported partly by the West ern university, otwtucu it is a department, nnd partly by its own exertions, and It is therefore not nnder the same obligations to the public as observatories connected witli State universities. Nevertheless, believing that it will be of benefit to the Obxervatorv Itto have its work better known in its Im mediate vicinity, and a sonrco or'gratlfica tion nnd instruction to the public to see omething of modern methods of astronom ical research, I have made arrangements by which the Observatory will hereafter be open to visitors every Thursday cveninsr, during tho summer months, bejjinninjr with May 5, 1802. As a larsto party cannot be ac commodated at the Observatory, it has been necessary to establish tho following rules for reznlatina the admission of visitors: Cards of admission will be required, which may be obtained on application at the office of the Chancellor of the University, Uni versity main building, Perrysville avenue, Allegheny. Not more than ten cards 'will be issued for any one evening. Names will be entered in the order of application. A card Is good only on tho evening for which it is issued. Visitors failing to use their cards must make a now application at luu iiianccuor's omcc. Visitors prevented by cloudy weather from observing with the telescope, and de sirous of coming again, must apply for new cards. 'The Observatory1 will be open at the stated times only. If any Important astronomical event re quiring the attention of the observors should happen to occur on any Thursday evening-, auother evening in tho same woek will bo specially appointed for tho reception of visitors holding cards for that date. The entranco to tho Observntoryls through the grounds of the Western University. Visitors should leave tho Perrysville avenue electric cars at the foot or University avenue, and follow the boardwalk to therdoor or tho Observatory. Tbey will be received by the officers ot the Observatory, who-wlllshow them the instruments and explain the man ner In which they are used, exhibit speci mens or astronomical photography and otherresults of scientific work, and, If the weather permits, show them a number of celestial objects with tho large equatorial telescope.

I. -.l TALKING 05 THE0S0PHY. The General Secretary of the Society" Tells of the Organization. "Wilson Q, Judge, General Secretary of the American section of the Theosophical Society, who is at the Duquesne Club and who is returning to New York from the an nual convention ot the society at Chicago, delivered a lectura in the Spiritualists' hall on Sixth street last nighty The lecture was fairly well attended. On the stage with the speaker was "W. C Temple, President of the Allegheny ball club, while in the audience wero motherly-looking women, gray haired men and a great variety ot young people. In his lecture Mr. Judge discussed Theo sophy and the Theosophical Society. The object of the society he said, was to form a nncleus of a universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of caste creed, race, sex, color or religion; to promote the study of Aryan and other literatures, religions and sciences and demonstrate the importance of mat siuay, ana to instieate tne unexplained laws of nature and the psychical powers latent-in man. "Our-society," the speaker said, "has no creed. It requires assent to no formula of religious belief It is abso lutely unsectarian. It is unattached to politics, and to involve it in any political movement is to violate its constitntion and incur expulsion from its ranks. It is an open body, without secrets and initiations." The lecture was nearly two hours in length. The audience listened attentively nnd all showed marked attention. PILLING THE HOSPITALS. The List of Mishap Reported la the Two Cities Testertlay.

GETTIBG BID OF UNION KEN. Eome or the Brlckmakers Will Not Employ E". or L. Labor. A report was going the rounds yesterday that the bjickmakers of the Builders' Fix change were going to discharge all K. of L. men in their employ. There is some truth in it, but the Exchange has not taken any concerted action in the matter. One of the largest brickmakers yesterday said: "The Exchange has never decided that brickmakers should not employ nnion men. Some time ago a resolution was brought up, which had this in view, but one firm ob jected to it for political reasons, and it was then decided to let the manufacturer use his own judgment. As a result ot this, there are only about four brickvards in the city at the present time, where K. of L. or union men are employed. The John Lnnz Company was the last to refuse to sign the scale. I believe it will now employ non-union men. The firms now employing union labor all have particular reasons for it" WINDOW GLASSWOBKEBS' MEETING. Vhe Convention Xs Thought to Be In the Interest or Cake. The window glassworkers, who comprise L. A. 300, will hold a convention on Thurs day, July 7. It is about five years since a convention ot L.
