W
RESIDENCE OF H. C..FBICK,
In spite of the return cf smoke to this
city, it is conceded hy all who visit Pitts
burg at this time of tear that a more beau
tiful scene than is presented in the suburbs
of "Old Smoky" ,Cannot be found in the
jiole "United States. The buds are burst
ing everywhere, and the mass of greenery
alone the main avenues to the East End
and in the suburban districts completely
counteracts the depressing effects of the
smoke ihat pours forth from so many mills
and lactones. After trying ineffectually
for weeks to obtain a foothold, spring has
really arrived at last, and May will be, as
it should, the month of flowers and green
trees, No wonder everybody wants to live
away from the center of the city, and no
wonder the real estate agents have had such
a busy time of it this year. Now is the
time that the purchasers of suburban prop
erty realize that they have done a wise
thing from every point of view.
"We all know what Tennyson says about
'the young man's fancy" in the spring.
Fortunately, it is not only the young man
who is aflected by the arrival of this most
joyous season. Those in whose hearts the
lamp of charity ever burns brightly ieel a
stronger clow as they 6ee what opportuni
ties are afforded for giving pleasures and
necessaries to the poor and needy. The
month of May will be prolific in entertain
ments for sweet charity's sake. The ladies
of the various churches and charitable or
ganizations are determined to make this
month notable for good deeds, and there
will be a steady call upon the pocketbooks
of the large class of citizens of Pittsburg
who are ever ready to give their abundance
to those who are less tortunate in this
world's goods.
There have been a number of charitable
events already within the last few weeks,
? an earnest of those that are to come, and
the campaign cannot be said to have more
than fairly begun. One of the important
days cf this week, from a charitable point
of view, will be next Thursday, when dona
tions for the Protestant Home for Incur
ables will be received at the Home in Law
renceville. This excellent institution, that
makes no distinction in its patients, further
.ban to know their afflictions, is sorely in
need of help. The hard-working ladies
who give their time to its management are
about to put in a new hydraulic elevator
a positive necessity at the Home and they
have not enough money to pay for it. They
depend a great deal upon the results of
"donation day" to help them to raise the
required sum, several thousand dollars. It
remains for the charitable to see that they
do not hope in vain.
To-morrow the fair under the auspices of
the congregations of the various German
Protestant Evangelical Churches of the two
cities will open in Old City Hall. The
fair is for a most commendable object, to
raise money toward the building fund of the
new orphan asylum at "West Liberty. Al
though the German Evangelical Church is
building the new school, it is not in any
sense a sectarian institution. The children
of parents of any church, or no church at
oil. are welcome, and all receive equal care.
Dinner and supper trill be sjerved in the
hall every day this week, and it is certain
there will be no lack of guests. Eating and
drinking for charity's sake is enjoyable in
more ways than one.
A fillip to the memory may not be out of
place to the effect that there will be a meet
ing of the Ladies' Hospital Association at
the Dispensary building, Sixth avenue, at
3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
Everybody will want to go to the Alvin
Theater this week. The entertainment will
undoubtedly be very good, and the purpose
to be a served with the proceeds appeals to
the hearts of all who have any ordinary
human regard for their iellow creatures.
Ihe receipts of the week are to be devoted
to the benefit of the Allegheny General
Hospital, which has nearly completed an
annex to the building, where a house-warming
will be given as eoon as the finishing
touches have been bestowed. The attrac
tion at the Alvin will be the dramatic
cantata of "Belshazzar," interpreted by a
splendid cast.
A "Russian tea, under the auspices of the
ladies of the First Unitarian Church, will
be one of the leading social events of next
week. The proceeds will go toward de
fraying the expenses of the new reading
room in the University building, Diamond
street.
The Homeopathic Hospital annex, pur
chased with the 530,000 given by Mrs. "Will
iam Thaw, is nearly finished. The ladies of
- the board have determined to open it
formally in the first week of June. There
will be no cards, but the whole public will
be invited. The ladies recognize that every
body has an interest in the hospital, so
there will not be anything exclusive about
the opening reception.
Although over six weeks must elapse be
fore the holding of the annual Episcopal
Church home festival, the preparations al
ready in progress indicate that it will be a
more than usually delightful occasion. Be
sides the booths, with their dainty decora
tions and stores of fancy, and useful wares,
there will be plenty of amusement for the
children, with supper for everybody. The
date set is Thursday, June 16.
Thursday next will be donation day for
Christian Home for "Women, Allegheny,
h time the annual reception will be
'he institution needs a new home,

ing enjoyed a novel entertainment. An
English play, a French comedy and a Ger
man dialogue, all good, are not often seen
and heard in one evening. The talented
young people you bore their parts in this
diversified programme, as well as their in
structors, cannot receive too much praise
for theirsmooth work.
The first concert of the East End Musical
Club drew forth a very large and fashion
able audience that was most encouraging to
the young director, Mr. J. C BrciL Al
though the programme was rather long,
there were no signs of weariness to be de
tected among the listeners, and the enter
tainment throughout must be pronounced a
success. One of the interesting features of
the evening was the singing of Miss
Pauline Lemmer, a bright young girl
who has just completed five years of study
in Germany, and whose powerful and flex
ible soprano was heard to advantage in the
aria from "Lucretia Borgia" and the great
duet from "Cavalleria Busticana," with
Mr. Breil. Miss Lemmer will be a decided
musical acquisition lor Pittsburg, and will
be much sought after for concerts. She has
a good stage presence as well as a thor
oughly trained voice.

Executive Committee Meetlns.
The Allegheny County Executive Commit
tee met In the Pension Office Wednesday
evening, and sent out the badges to the
comrades who failed to get them at the De
partment Encampment. Last week the

tors to the Department Encampment lund a
handsomely engraved card or thanks. The
cards are about 12x16 inslies. At the top Is
the name of the. contributor and under this
the title of the Committee and the G. A.
R, badge in colors worked In. A sol
dier stands on either side below, and
there are flags, cannon, war ves
sels and kindred objects tastefully
arranged. Near the center is the inscrip
tion: "Please accept, in the name of the
comrades of the G. A. R. of Allegheny
county, our sincere thanks for your efforts
to make the meeting of the twenty-sixth
annual encampment the grand success It
was." Below are tne signatures of Thomas
G. Sample, president: H. H. Bengough and
A. C. Frank, secretaries, of the Allegheny
County Executive Committee.
Government Headstones.
As was announced in this column some
time ago Post 141 has some 40 or more
headstones for soldiers buried in the ceme
teries of the Southside. Among these are
several who were never connected with the
post, and, although the place of burial so
far as the cemetery is concerned is known,
the location is not. The friends of these will
confer a favor upon the committee having
this matter In charge by calling upon Com
mander L. T. McGratb. 1922 Carson street,
who has a list or them, ir the friends so de
sire, they ean take the stones away with
them. In raot, where the friends are able,
this course would relieve the post greatly.
However, whether the friends do this or
not, the committee expects to have them all
properly placed before Memorial Day.
BIcKeesport Soldiers' Monument.
McKeesport'a soldiers' monument will be
dedicated on the Fourth of July under the
auspices of Colonel Sam Black Post No. 59
in that city. Elaborate arrangements are
being made for the occasion. The commit
tee having the matter In charge will send
invitations to all the Grand Army posts In
Allegheny and neighboring counties, and
also all-civic societies in MoKeesport and
vicinity to participate In a pnblic parade.
The McKeesport people have been working
hard for many months in order to honor the
soldier dead with a handsome monument,
and now that their labors are almost com
pleted, the Grand Army posts, many of
which have co-operated In the work, will
doubtless lend their aid In making the dedi
cation a great success.
G. A. K. Day Committee.
The general Grand Army Day Committee
for 1892 will assemble In Council chamber,
Municipal Hall, next Saturday at 3:30 r. J.,
for the purpose of organization. The ques
tion as to whether Grand ArmDay shall
be celebrated, and, if so, what shall be the
manner of celoVration, will be discussed.
The meeting should be a good one, and
every member is nrged to make it a point to
be present.

GOSSIP OP THE GUARD.
Major A. J. Looak, Brigade Quartermaster,
returned from the South last Monday very
considerably Improved in health.
The field, line and staff officers of the
Fourth Regiment have decided to mess to
gether this year at camp. The organization
has also adopted a very pretty regimental
button.
Quartermaster Hasrt F. Davis, of the
Eighteenth Regiment, was appointed Ad
jutant last week by Colonel Smith. Mr.
Davis has been connected with the regiment
for a number of years and Is amply able to
take care of the duties of his new position.
The Tenth Regiment has decided to en
camp at Greensburg this year. Colonel
Hawkins has accepted the offer of the citi
zens of that town who will put up $700 for
setting things in shape for the regiment.
The piece of ground where the regiment
will camp embraces about 20 acres and Is
nicely situated.
Ex-Captain William H. Wassell, for
merly of the Eighteenth Regiment, .but now
a Llentenant in the regular service, Visited
the city last week to attend the funeral of
bis child. Mr. Wassell has been stationed in
the Indian Territory since his re-entry Into
the United States Army, and is connected
with one of the companies of Indian scouts.
Colonel Smith and Lieutenant Colonel
Rntledge visited Uniontownlast Wednesday
and decided to select that point for the regi
mental camping ground next summer. The.
citizens of that town think very well of the'
regiment on account of the good record
made there three years ago, and have sub
scribed a pretty substantial purse for its
entertainment. The regiment will practl-'
cally occupy the same ground it did before.
Comi-any G, of the Thirteenth Regiment,
was ordered to be disbanded last week, and
Its officers were honorably discharged from
the service. This order is the first of sev
eral of the kind that will be issued from the
Adjutant General's office this spring, as the
idea or General Greenland Is to rapidly get
the regiments in better shape for battalion
formations and do away with as many of the
weak companies as possible. An order of a
similar kind affecting one of the local or
ganizations will bo issued shortly.
Ex-Colonel BosAiroir, formerly of the
Third Begiment, spent a few days In the
city last week and visited several of the
armories. . The Colonel, although out of the
guard for some time, still takes an active in
terest in Its workings. He was at one time
one of the greatest hustlers in the First
Brigade, and was the prime mover in the
passage of tne act allowing cities to appro
priate $500 a year for the maintenance of
companies. He says the Third Begiment,
under tho handling of Lieutenant Colonel
Maginnls, 13 improving very much, and a re
organization has been decided upon. It in
cludes the assignment of the armory build
ing to the State for military purposes and
the abolishment or the civil Board or Con
trol. The line officers have also pledged
themselves to elect any person for Colonel
that Major General Snowden mav select. In
this way It is expected that the Governor
will side track his order disbanding the regi
ment. It good stiff regulations will succeed in
making the marksmen of the State attain a
high standard Colonel Osth&ud has certainly
hit upon the right plan. As predicted last
week in this column,' the date for the open
ing of the season of rifle practice has been
set at next Monday, and the closing day is
October 31. The two great changes to be
noted this year ore flrstthat every com
pany must qualify at least 35 men or be con
sidered sufficiently lacking in discipline as
to warrant disbandment, and secondly that
shooters in order to qualify as sharpshooters
must score at least 45 points to tnelr credit.
Last year but SO men were required to be
qualified and only 42 points were- necessary
to become a sharpshooter. Officers are also
expected to qualify this year or show cause
for their failure, and in other ways the or
der issued by Colonel Osthaus is most ex
acting. The maximum or axed ammunition
per company this year is 3,000 rounds andVot
blank cartridges 500 rounds, 1,000 rounds Of
the ball cartridges being forwarded to eacb
company at the opening of the season.
A revision or the State military code is
one or the probabilities or the near future.
The code as it now stands has been most un
satlsfactoiy, even under the old system of
taotlcs, for which it was Intended to govern,
and as a consequence the adoption of the
new regulations makes its revision impera
tive. Berore the work in this line will be
commenced, General Greenland pro
poses to have all the regiments In the State
changed to 8 and 12 oompanles each, as the
cases merit, su u mo iuvuiuu inw uai
teries will be more uniform, and theelectio
of two and three Majors to the regiment will
be deolded upon. Another change talked h(
Is a reduction of the minimum number bf
men to the company to 45 instead of 50, a
now stands. The fact is rapidly being rec
nizmln.Il oyer the State that tile marsin
tween the maximum and minimum numqers
for enlisted men is too sman, and that
men are Trequentiy Deing Kept in tne se:
in order to hold companies within the 1
or the law. Many otner cnanges w:

that Beaver county is taking in the meet
ing, it mav be stated that the electria line
Uconnectlng Beaver Falls with adjacent
towns win oarry rree tnose who desire to
attend the convention. Beduced fares have
been arranged for on the various railroads.
The President of Geneva College has in
formed Mr. Fisher that if the accommoda

SOUTH DAKOTA SIDETRACKED.
Oklahoma tbe New Mecca of All Who Want
to Get Divorces.
GUTHBIE, Okla,, April 30. Special
The number of divorce cases now pending
in Oklahoma is stupendous. In a. single
county the number runs well up toward
100, and they form a large part of the busi
ness in all the courts of the Territory. This
is not due to any particular infelicity of the
people of this Territory, but to the fact that
the divorce law here is very lax, and scores
of people have come in lroin other States to
get rid of burdensome marital ties.
A residence of only 90 days is required.
A divorce is granted for infidelity, cruelty,
neglect, desertion or intemperance, and
action can be brought in either the Probate
or District Courts. These facts are begin
ning to become "generally known over the
country, and Oklahoma trill soon rival
South Dakota as a mecca for divorce
seekers. .

How Thomas A. Scott's Predictions
Are Now Lfcing Fulfilled.
THE BIG CHAMBERS GLASS' PLANT
Drawing Thousands Mors to Konslngton
In Search of Horned
1T3 SOLIDITY JS NOW ESTABLISHED
After many years th e pet dream or Thomas
A. Scott, the great financier and late Presi
dent of the Pennsylvania. Railroad, is being
carried out, but by other han ds. His dearest
hobby was the building or a great manu
facturing town up the Allegheny river,
where Kensington is now located. Fifteen
years ago he declared it was the finest site
for a town in the Eastern States. The, broad
acres of level, tolling land far above any
danger of flood, bonnded on the west by the
river, and away on the east by a beautirul
range or hills pierced by a hundred never
falling springs that have an almost unlimited
supply of purest water, all led him to this
belief. To-day his dreams are being realized
to their mllest extent. Scarce more than a
year has passed, and where then the farmer
followed the plow now rows on rows of
houses take the place of furrows. Here
is found all the excitement and bustle
of an oil town with the solidity of a city
that has stood for a. century. Thousands of
busy peoDle are to be seen everywhere, and
from one end of the "miles of street to anoth
er is to be heard the clangor the hammer
and the hum of the factories. This is not
for a short time only, ror below tne river
bank is lined ror several miles with great
mills and workshops that give the place a
stability and standing among the great man
ufacturing towns or the world that Is undis
puted. Thousands find
It Will Be a City in Two Years.
Kensington Is an established fact. To-day
in this greatest of all Pittsburg's snbnrbs
over 4,000 people have their homes. Within
two years it will have a population or 23,000
people. Now, as one goes up the Allegheny
Valley road and reaches the great bend be
low Parnassus. Kensington in all its beauty
breaks upon the visitor. At Parnassus the
first or the new bright houses are seen, and
from there they stretch miles up the river
away beyond Arnold station. The sight is
an unusual one, from the race that the houses
are all new and brizhtly painted, while here
and there along the river the great red
staoks of the manufactories can be seen.
Such is Kensington, which is now tho lode
stone drawing the people from the ctowded
tenements and narrow streets of the old city
nnd from all over Western Pennsylvania to
the bright sunshine of this new Mecca.
As one or the heads or a Pittsburg city de
partmentrsnid the other day: "Realty at Ken
sington Is as good an investment as realty In
Pittsburg. It Is a place sound financially and
is Dounu to oecome one oi me nianuiuc lur
ing cities in the country."
The town also has several good licensed
hotels and numerous- business houses and
there Is a feeling of pride in the place that
makes the people spend their money there
rather than go to Pittsburg and all of the
many stores do a good business. Those who
own property seem to rare tbe best because
all those who have their money investod
there seem banded together like one great
mutual brotherhood.
One Firm to Employ 3,600 Men.
Beyond all this Kensington has one at
traction that would make It great and se
cure its lasting success if there were nothing
else. This is the Chambers Glass Com
pany's works. To-day a regiment and .hair
or men are working like beavers erecting
there the largest and greatest glass plant in
the world. The company has 43 sores or
gronnd at the upper part or Kensington and
by next year nearly every root of It will be
covered by this plant. Though they have
only been working six weeks the flattening
house, the cutting rooms and packing house
are built and under roof. They are In one
building running east trom the Valley road.
This building is 160 feet wide and 720 feet
long. Inside the men are working on tbe 14
great ovens that will fill this immense build
ing. On the north and running parallel Is
the warehouse 83x600 feet now In coarse of
erection. On the south side will lie the
glass tank side by side. The men are
at work on the foundations and In making
the excavations., Bach or these tank build
ings is 200x100. with a wing on eaoh one on
the south side that Is 85x100 feet. Beyond
the wing in each is the mixing house, that is
60x85 feet. Between each or the two build
ings is a space or 150 feet; and In the space
between the two wings is the gas producer
house, that is to be 150 feet square. Then
away at the south end is the big clayhouse
where tbe tank blocks are to be made. This
house is 115x100 feet and three stories high.
Built of Solid Brick nnd Masonry.
Like all the otner buildings, it is of brick,
but has a cement instead of an iron roof. It
is one of the most solidly constructed build
ings in the country, the floors being made of
2x8 Joists set on edge. The floors are guar
anteed to stand a strain or 500 pounds to the
square inch.
The work of construction is now under the
nnei-ctsinn of Geonre Moore. General Su
perintendent, formerly of the Jeannette
Glass Works. They are to be completed by
September 1, and-under the acres of roofs
will be round steady employment for 1,800
men. This, ths largest factory In the.worid,
will have a daily output or 2.1C0 boxes or
glass, and next year the plant is tQ be dupli
cated on the north side, thus making the
double warehouse the dividing line between
a glass factory twice as large as anything
known in history. This means ror the peo
ple or Kensington employment ror 8,600
men. It means that 12,000 more people must
make their homes in Kensington. It also
means an annnal pay roll of hundreds of
thousands of dollai-s, most of which must be
spent in Kensington. It means Kensington
the crystal city of the world.
The capitalization of the company is now
$800,000, and the entire product of the works
has been sold foryears in advance, two of
the greatest dealers In the world having
made contracts to take tbe entire output.
Shutdowns Do Not Affect Kensington.
That even is not all that Kensington has to
offer to him who is seeking a home. That Is
but one of its varied Industries. All kinds
of manufacturing are represented, and if
theie Is a shutdown In one trade the others
will carry the new city through. The Ex
celsior Flint Glass Company has completed
one or the finest lamp cnlmney nlants in the
world there, and it will open this week or"
next and give employment to duu more men.
The new brick works which will turn out
60,000 bricks a day will soon be completed.
The Pittsburg Tin Plate Company's plant is
doing a rushing business and American tin
stamped "Kensington" is now known all
over the country. Superintendent Btrow
bridge said the big dealers of Philadelphia
and Chicago are picking It up, and tbe Ken
sington plant is so overtaxed with orders
that its tinning department is soon to be
doubled. Besides this the Brownsville
Plate Glass Company, under the man
agement of E. C. Schmertz, is now
filling a big order for the Phila
delphia and Beading depot, and tbe
Kensington Stove Foundry Is manufactur
ing the old and well-known Bradley stove.
This plant is to be doubled this spring.
It Has a Monopoly of Aluminum.
Another cf the more important industries
Is the Plttsbnrg Reduction Company. Its
plant is now In full blast turning out aluml-

Pure Food in Congress
A bill has been introduced into Congress requiring
baking powders containing ammonia or alum to be so
branded. The bill should pass ; then if people dose
themselves with "absolutely pure" ammonia or alum
when taking their meals, they will do it knowingly, not
ignorantly as they do now.
Such a law would affect nearly every baking pow
der in the market except Cleveland's that does not
contain a particle of ammonia or alum. Besides, every,
ingredient of Cleveland's baking powder is plainly
printed on the label, information not given by other,,
manufacturers. ' -J

num. Soon the company will bnild a Tolling
mill for working the ingots into all forms for
tbe general trade. This improvement will
cost about $100,000 and will give employment
to three times as many men as at present.
This company has all the original patents
for reducing aluminum and all the foreign
manufactories are operating under these
Satents. Suits are now pending ror inrringe
lents In this country and favorable decis
ions have been obtained in the lower
courts. When they get the decision from
the higher tribunals it will give the Ken
sington' firm a monopoly of the aluminum
trade or the world and an unfavorable decis
ion will not affect them, fo it will leave
them on an equality with the others.
Another feature that has appeared there
this.year is the three-story hospital erected

hospital, where he Intends to treat nervous
patients. Later be will build on tbe hill as
the springs a great hospital on the "Round
House" plan, and will unite with It an
enormous natatorinm with an imitation sea
beach. -

to say there is work there for all who coma
In search of homes, and in the next few years
to. come thonsands must go to Kensington,
tho city unburdened by taxes, and where all
are given a chance to earn as good a liveli
hood as in the city, and yet enjoy all the
comforts of a suburban residence, pure air
and pure water. Kensington Is the golden
combination of country comforts wlthaV
facilities and life or a great city.

HOVEL AKD GEXER0C3 OTTER TO THE LADIES.
People passing the corner of Smithfleld
and Diamond streets last Friday afternoon
between 2 and 3 o'clock were attracted by a
large crowd in front of Sailer & Co.'s cloth
ing establishment. The cause of the excite
ment was the winding np and sealing or ths
lady's solid gold watch which had been on
exhibition in tbe firm's mammoth window
during the past week.
Long berore the hour advertised crowds of
ladies had gathered in the store to witness
the proceeding, showing the deep interest
taken in Sailer & Co.'s liberal offer. A news
paper committee, composed or Mr. H. L.
Hall, or The Dispatch: Mr. John Grlbben, of
the Leader; Mr. William Kohler, of the Bec
bachter, and Mr. George P. Pettit, of the
Post, had charge of the entire affair, attend
ing to the winding np, sealing, placing the
package in the window and all other details.
The lady guessing nearest the time the'
watch stops at will be presented with It.
Hundreds of guesses have already poured in
by mail, and passersby soonld make it a
point to witness the display in the window.
