Grip and Cerebrospinal Fever Send Up the Death Kate a Peg1. HEALTHIER TilAX OTHER CITIES. Slight Falling Off in the Number of Hearts That Seek Union. SAMTAIJr EFFECT OF GOOD SEWERS rittsburjr, while it is not a sanitarium, compares favorably for health with many cities of more pretentions, and will con tinue to irrow at quite a comfortable rat?, even without any accessions from the out ti i world. Purine the fiscal year ended March 1, .". ;J people died in this city, there were '.''' births and 2,224 couples were lec;ally boi.ud together by the holy ticot matri 111. nv. This interesting statistical state ment is furnished by the annual report of the Bureau of Health just completed and Low iu the hands of Chief Drown. The report is voluminous, including separate uotailed statements from the Superin tendent of Health, the l?ee;istrar of Vital Statistics the Sanitary Police and the meat, milk and vegetable inspectors. I'robablv the most interesting portion of the report is that of the Itepistrar, Dr. J. :. McOindiess. He shows that the city's death rate was much larger last year than in 1-siK). which had the lowest death rate ior j s vears. JIany Killed uy the Grip. Tli" deaih rate in 181)0 was 20.74 per 1,000 iihabitsnts with an estimated population ot l'40,0Ot, and last year it was 2.T.G1 per 1,0'ifl inhabitants, the population being estimated at "4,Ut)U. hue this is a lower rate than prevailed in many lars;e cities, it iv considered too high for Pittsburg. It. McCandless partially accounts for it bv the crip and cerebro-spinal fever epi demic, which prevailed in the early part of t'.e vear. There were 10S deaths from grip am! 2.10 others from pulmonary and bron c';i.il complications with it, over the record o; the previous year. Cerebro-spinal fever c iued 172 deaths, or as many as for the ten p: viou years combined. The death rate is :e !-eed to 2L04, however, by deducting the u"::ths from violent causes from the total, th.-e being 41(5 violent deaths, exactly coin ciding in number with the previous year's re ord. . Good Sewer Systems Save Lives. Of the total deaths 1,524 were of infants u ier one year of age, and 978 between one ai.l five years making 42 per cent of the foi.,1 mortality. There were 2,802 cases of 5 ; ctious diseases reported during the year, !Oi ot which were fatal, and forming 1G.7 of tl i"tal mortality, a slight increase over ihotl.ree preceding years. Of the infectious : ise&, measles caused 33 deaths, whoop i g cough, 114; diphtheria, 301; scarlet fever, T aiTlTJytlmid fever, 248. One noticeable f.-amreof the report Is that the East End r.istrict, which lias heretofore suffered most inini contagious diseases, had a lower :i erase than either the old city or the t ii. Mi-hie as a result of the extension of the ce. licit s-eweraire system in that viart of t . chv.

It the report of Superintendent T. W. ILiker a number of improvements are sug j.1 ted, uuiong them one for tho erection of tno or more small buildings, separate and apart from the Mm icipal Hospital on Bed ford avenue, for the purpose of caring for and treating destitute persons suffering Horn scarlet fever, diphtheria, erysipelas or otnei diseases of tuat character, other than Mnal luox. ami which will not be leceived in Hie general hospitals. Scarcely a month j... es lj-without the necessity lor sucli pro- .-ion being emphasized. The mun.cipal smallpox hospital is nuilt on n 4U:icie tract of Ian. I, purchased for S4',008 in 1S74. T.ie bunding oceui.iesa small portion of I lie land and tuere would be plenty ol ground to iso late the smaller buildings suggested without ! -k, and as there has been an avera eof ah one sniallnox patlenta year for the past Moor six yen re, the hosniial steward and i health "nhysician could easily care for j. itients in the'proiioscd new buildings. In referring to tlie garbage question St:ieiinteiileiit Baker says: "The garbage Jurnaeo on Hill "treot. Sixth ward, has been in operation tour year: continuously, de umiiif all the garbage collected fi-om the lower waidof thecitv and the district out 1-ilth avenue, to and including Oakland, whi-h iurnishes a lamr quantity than pi ib.ibly the balance of the city. The j.a.'uii.i gas fuel now used is becoming very expensive lor garbage burning and the sup pi v is so irregular that it is a question as to the practicability of continuing its use." Indorses the New Gaib.ige system. Keterimg to the garbage company asking foi legislation, the siipciinteiident indorses their scheme ol floating garbage down the rivei as tlie correct solution in this city of a cptcstion that i worrying many largo cities ot the country, and he asks his chief to lend bis assistance to having tho measure m'optcd with pioperamendinents. Thecost .t ;: rouge iiirunce last year was as follows: .Salaries, 1,S13 ,"i0; cxjienses, $i,17i; ground n if, PI2.1. eonsidei-ablc spaceir the Superintendent's report is gie.n to a discussion of vaccina tion as a preventive . il smallpox, lie thinks t... little attention is paid to this matter by the public, and that the rules legulating tho sdtiiission of childien to the schools arc not us clo-ely followed as tliev should bo, although the sanitary police "have notified eciy school piuit'ipal iu the city or their dut in requiring the vaccination of every j.iinil admitted. He also complains that not Miiilcient attention is paid to the spread of inlectious diseases byway of the school, and accuses winic ol the city's most reputable )rt,y-ic:ans of giving certificates, within a lew days alter recovery from some con tagions tieeao, tinting that they are well and that it would bopcrlcctlyaafe loi them to attend school. This practio'a ho bavs endangers tho llfo and health of many children, but thoro seems no way ot stop Dinjj it. Xot less than 30 days should elapse after convalesence before a child suffering from un inlectious disease is permitted to return to school. Degtrnjltid Articles Unfit for Food. ' Meat and Milk Inspector McCutchecn's report shows thnt meat, poultry, vegetables and milk to the market value of $2,897 50 were condemned and destroyed as unfit for con sumption, and S75 head of cattle, hogs and sheep were'eondemned. Ue takes credit to the Health Bureau that, notwithstanding the increased surveillance exorcised by tho inspectors, there is each year a decreaso in the amount of stuff lound necessary to con fiscate. Touching tlie question of Chicago beet", he says: The State Board of Health ot Illinois has assumed charge of the inspec tion, and at present each car of dressed meat arriving here is accompanied by a cer tificate by one of their inspectors that each carcass was inspected on hoof and after be ing slaughtered, and that they were healthy and lit lor food. Live stock is also rigidly inspected betore being loaded on the cars, and shippers, having learned that diseased stock will bo destroyed, have become care ful." Belativo to the distribution of milk in the city, the Inspector says that a few years ago the milk supply was produced by daitymen living in or near the eitv, but now, owing to tho building unof rural property, the dairies have disappeared and the milk nearly all comes in on tho railroads, and is sold in almost every grocery and candy store in the city, making It extremely difficult to give it proper inspection. Tho danger lies In the tact that comparatively few milk dealers have either the facilities or the knowledgo of tho business to take proper care of the milk, and tho people nrc the sufferers, Vegetable Inspector Kilcore's report shows stuff to the market valno of J7.1SG SO had been seized, condemned and confiscated as unlit lor food. ASSESSING WATER RENTS. A T.nrge. Clerical Force lrpring the 1.1st for the CItv Treasurer Figuring on the Supplemental Assessment A Large In crease In Keveime Expected This Tear. The Dureau of "Water Assessments has a large force of men at work making the water assessment for 1892. Tnlike the property tax this assessment is made up new and complete every year, and an immense amount of work is involved. The assessors start to work April 1, and their report must be finished and tho books for overy ward in the city turned over to the City Treasurer for collection on the first day of June. In addition to the annual assessment returned in June, thero is what is known as tho sup plementary assessment, made from Septem ber to Januaiy, whie.h takes in all new build ings erected alter the spring tax is levied. Through tho Building Inspectors' reports it is a comparatively easy matter to make tho supplementary assessment. A record of every building for which a permit has been issued by tho inspectors is submitted to the Water Assessor at tho end of each month, and. as the Inspectors keep a watchful eyo on every move in tho building line, nothing ever escapes. From this report tlie Water Asse.st.or makes an assessment, first on tho contractor lor water u-ed in mixing mortar, etc, in the construction of the building, and then, when it is completed, on tho owner of the building for the various faucets used in its fnrnishment. The water assessment last year was $715. 064 and the supplementary assessment $8,912, while J0,59o was collected for water used in building operations. This year's assessment is expected to exceed last year's to a consid erable extent, and, unless the building trades striko i3 resumed, there will be a largo in crease from new buildings. V. P.

His mother tried to reason with him and ho struck her a blow that sent her reeling against the wall. He followed this up and was .iving hern severe beating when the officer appeared. He was given CO days to the workhouse. CEHTEAI HOTEL OPENED. The Honsn Remodeled, and Once More Ready 1o Receive Guests. The Central Hotel will be opened again this morning.

AN EXODUS TO CHINA. Celestials Declare They Have Been Uirjastly Treated and WILL EETDRN HOME IN A BODY. The Effect of the Chinese Exclusion Act in nttsburg. PRICES OP TEA ARE TAKING A JUMP Exciting talk among the Chinese, grave apprehensions upon the part of consumers of Chinese products, nnd anticipations of a rapid rise in the market price of teas and Chinese drugs have followed the signing of the recent Chinese exclusion hill, and, as a consequence, Pittsburg and Allegheny are considerably exercised. Teas have already advanced 2 cents per pound, and Mr. William T. Chaffee, one of the largest tea merchants in Pittsburg, said last night the price would be raised 3 cents higher. The Chinese are indignant and say they will heartily join the New York and Philadelphia Chinamen, who will call upon all of the natives of the Celestial Empire to return to China in a body and declare enmity toward all American tourists and travelers. A number of prominent Chinamen were seen yesterday by a Dispatch man and the general impression seems to prevail that the exclusion bill was enough to give the Chinamen an opportunity to exhibit the rancor and bitterness toward Americans in China that characterized the cruel epoch in Chinese history previous to the openi. g of the Chinese ports in 1813. Chinese noldlnc Secret Conferences. Advices from New York convey the startling information that the natives of China located in that city are holding secret conferences and important meetings in Xew York and Philadelphia to decide upon some method whereby tho entire Chinese popula tion in America may be romovod in a body. Their object in so doing is to declare a hit ter hostility towaid all Americans traveling or sojourning in China and treat them with the same severity with which they deem themselves treated by the American Gov ernment. Quong Wo ''ung, ono of the most influen tial and conservative Chlnatnou in Pitts burg, was seen in tho little tea store at So. 179 Second avenno anil expressed himself most emphatically amvtnst the bill. "It is an outrage," said he, as his pale lips twitched with indignation, "and all loyal Americans will agree with us in saying so. We are cruelly discriminated against and shall take some steps to show our feelings against tho injustice. I have heard nothing of an Imperial decree spoken of in tlie New York telegrams.nor of the seciet conferences held, but wo have hnrdlyhad timo to hear anything definite, as the result of the last conference has not been offic'nllyjrabllshed. All toyal Chinamen Will Return. 'If these reports are accurate, and I be lievo they are, I believe all of the loyal Chinamen will heartily join the Eastern contingent in whatever they propose. We are a raco of peoplo who have been made to suffer so much by just such actions of gov- omments tttat we nro nenriuy weuneu oi oppression and will do that which will show we aro capable of rosenting an insult. Iu America wo are the least trouble to the authorities of any na tionality that is uoro represented. Tho criminal annals will show that our poonlo nro brought boforo the courts of Justice less times than peoplo of any other country, and yet it is the Chinaman who is obliged to smuiglo himself over the borders and net as a criminal. Onr onemies snv we are parsimonlous,butare we tobe oomparod witli the money-getters of other nations who como here, stay less time than wo do and go back to their "native land with fnr more monev than we dot It is not tho Chinamen who "fill yourjnils and penitentiaries; if It is any nationality It is that of another coun try. There nro many arguments made against us. but wo can meet ans- of them with irrefutable replies. The Chinese are made to bear tho brunt of a nation's ill humor. Hostile to the Cancnslun Race. "Is it any wonder then," continued tho disciplo of Confucius, "that our poople are hostile in tlieiruntive land toward the people of the Caucasian race? Tho Chinese of America will be ready nnd willing to meet and declare their indignation at the signing of the bill, and then when matters are ar ranged will return in a body to their native land." Yce Ghee, a Christianized Celestial, living at211Wylie avenue, said he thought the bill would have a serious effect upon the feelings of the Chinamen of the country ngn'nst tlie American Government. "The Chinese have borne so much of what to us seems very harsh treatment that they will bo very apt to take some aggressive action," he continued. "1 have heard nothing of these recent conferences held in the Eastern cities, but suppose the news w ill roach ns within a few days. I don't feel like express ing myself upon the matter until something more "definite is known." Quong Yuen Lun', n merchant at Xo. 311 Giant street, expressed himself iu the same manner that his fellow-countrymen did, and said he did not think it would take a groat deal of agitation to stir up the Chinamon in America into taking a decisive step. Its Lflect Opontljo Tea Tr.do. Regarding the commercial and financial outlook, it is anythingbut pleasing. In case tho Chinese declare hostilities, as they prob ably will do, tho great tea trade, as well as the opium and other lines of importations, will be seriously affected. William T. Chaffee was seen at his homo at 5S13 Itippey street last night and said the price of Chinese teas had nl rcadv advanced 2 cents and would go 3 cents higher. "O. course, the New York commer cial and financial men nro hulling tho tea market in anticipation of the fears of the peonlo over the signing of the bill," he con tinued. "I do not deem it wise to dicuss the situation at pres ent, ns market affairs are in a rather chaotic condition nnd are linble to fluctnate. In case the commercial relations are affected, as they undoubtedly will bo, the entire tea trade of the enormous porpor tion it is at piesont will go to Englnnd, and ns a result tho Amorican consumers will bo obliged to pay n larger price than they do at present. Americans control a great part of the tea trade now" continued Mr. Chaffee, "and this will he nborhed by the English. The latter people have money enough to purchase the entire production of China nnd are only prevented from so doing by the push, energy and ability of tho American buyers. England Will Reap the Benefit. "Xow that tho American is ejected from the country the English will como in and absorb the entire production. The Chinese Government is not affected by the change either way. So long us they can dispose of their production it is immaterial to them to whom they sell, and the result will bo that England will virtually control the exportation of China, and tho American people will be obliged to bear tho brunt of the excessive price. It will cost a great deal more to bring tea into the New York mar ket, as it will probably be first taken to England and then brought over to America. Tlie American people are strong in their favoritism for certain kinds ot tea, and in sist upon having it. Teas of Chinese growth make a delicious beverage, nnd the people, having become accustomed to the taste, will simply pay tlie increased price." A. C Latimer, of the tea firm of Latimer Bros., said the tea trade would he seriously affected by the new bill. "Prices will ad vance and people will be obliged to pay more for their teas or do without," said he. "It will be highly remunerative to tho tea merchants, as the consumer will bo Inclined to purchase ere it reaches a higher price. It will undoubtedly give tho business a great impetus." A Tendency to Adulteration. "Will it not have a tendoncy to increase the adulterations of teas V was asked. "It may in America," continued Mr. Lati mer, "but it will not in an alien land. The tea inspector, appointed for the first timo during President Haye's administration, is most rigid iu his examination of tea nnd no adulterated teas aro permitted to enter tho ports. But once in America tho count less devices known may he put into use and adulterated teas will be put upon the market. Tho tens of China are peculiar and aro classed very high. Tho teas ot the Moymio district are the finest cultivated and havo a strength nnd taste that is unsurpassed. Tho Young Hysons, the Gunpowders and the other teas of the Moyuno districts aro famous tho country over, and whllo the eye may bo de ceived by tho adulterated teas, the taste never can. The teas from the Ping Suey districts aro not as good as the lloyune teas, hut their taste is also peculiar to that par ticular part of tho country. New 1'orlt Importers Will Suffer. "The tea market, so far as the importa tion is concerned, is controlled by a few wealthy firms in Sew York, and there is but little tea imported by other poople in Amer ica. This bill will greatly affect them, but they will of courso protect themselves by raising the price. The raise in price of teas in tho last few davs is due to the work of Sew York speculators, and Is simply a clever method to boom the product." That tlie opium trade will bo affected stands to reason, and a prominent down town druggist said last night that the effect will be felt by tlie consumers within u short time. "While the best opium comes to us from India," said he, "thero is such a great amount coming from the land of Confucius that wo cannot disregard the effect of the Chinese exclusion bill. The price of opium fluctuates materially, nnd this latest affair will undoubtedly cause the price to udvunce considerably." LIKELY TO BE LIVELY. A Knmber of Important measures Ex pected to Provoke Warm Discussions in Councils To-Day Keeping Up tho Freo Itrldee Agltalion Burylne the Over bead Wires. The meeting of Councils this afternoon will probably be of unusual interest, and some warm discussions are looked tor. The negative report of the Public "Works Com mittee on several ordinances for paving streets with flro brick will likely provoke some discussion In Solect Council. Dr. Evans and Mr. Warmcastle being in favor of the ordinances and prepared to innko a fight for them. Dr. Evans wi 11 claim that on Hazelwood avenuo 19 out of 20 property holders have signed a petition for paving that street with brick and will demand that their wishes bo respected. If the meeting of telegraph, electric light and telephone officials with Chief Brown and the Mayor at tho hitter's office scheduled for 10 o'clock this morning is us productive of harmony as expected, an ordinance will probably bo prepared and presented this afternoon pioviding for putting wires under ground. Chief Brown is anxious to get the measure boforo Councils as quickly as pos sible, as it is his desiro to have part of tho work of underground wiring done this summer. Controller Morrow is likely to be hoard from m a communication relativo to his fight to have contracts approved by the Mayor, and it is likely an ordinance placing a tax on street railways will come from tho same source. The Poor Farm ordinanco will ho pre sented and probably passed under a suspen sion of tho rules without reference to tho Charities Committee. Tho argument for hasty action on this ordinance is the short time now intervening until the city must vacate the old farm, and as the ordinanco has been arranged to accord with tho Mayor's views no opposition is expected to its Immediate passage. The bill fixing tho timo when interest shall begin on money due street contractors, and which is designed to lessen the cost ot paving and sewering, is nlso to be presented to-day, but whether an attempt will be made to pass it Is not known. Somnnow stteet railway ordinances will probably bo presented making provision for some of tho nroposed chuiiges on tho Du quesneand Pittsburg Traction lines, and it is expected that one of the Southside mem bers will offer n resolution calling for prompt action iu the selection of a site and Iiroceoding with the construotioh of a freo iridge over the Monongahela river. Tlie Flnanco Committee having lnilod to meet sinco tho last session of Councils, the audit ordinance will not be heard of to-day. A DEFENSE OF TOM SUN. Cattlemen Say Ho Slay lie a Half-Breed, but He Is Sot Illiterate. During tho recoil t war betweon therustlers and the cattlo icings of Wyoming, Tom Sun, who has grown rioh brooding cattlo, loomed up as ono of tho leaders of the small ranch ers. Tho reporters for tho kings refer to him sneorlngly as "an illiterate Canadian half-breed, whoso worldly possessions ten years ago consisted of n pony." Tom Sun Is well nnd favorably known by cattlemen In Pittsburg, and ho usually visits this city every summer to sell some of his stock. Those who know htm say he may be a half breed and a Canadian, but ho Is notilliter--ate. He is a tall, gaunt man, not prepossess ing by any means In nppearance. but. ho has a fund of ready wit and a fairly good educa tion that does credit ton man who was horn, raised and has spent tho greater part of his life in tho wilderness on tho frontier. A DisrATCH man met Tom Sun in Pitts burg two summers ago. Ho had been to Waynesbnrg selling horses, nnd whllo rid ing ono of them across a field tho animal stopped into n hole and fell, breaking Tom's arm. Ho got up very crestfallen, nnd un mindful of the pain said he was ashamed to havo been hurt by a horse. It was the first time an accident had belnllcn him in his career, and ho had ridden some of tho wort bucking bronchos in the West. His ranch is located 05 miles from Ka,wlins. When he was here ho said it was only a question of timo until tho cattlemen would have trouble in the roundups. In the early days he had to fight tho reds, and his stock was constantly being stolen by the Indians. Now it is the cattlo men who are robbing each other. Tom used to be nn old Govern ment scout and was formerly located in tho Yellowstone Park. THE FOEESTEES' GEAND C0UET. Thousands orMembers ot the Order Comlns to the City. Local members of tho Ancient Order of Foresters are making big preparations for the session of their Grand Court or Stato Lodge which is to open with a street parado in this city to-morrow morning. The parado will be the largest ever held here by Fores-ti-rs. Ell Moon, II. C. It., the highest State official. J. Harris, the State Treasurer, nnd F. J. Weavei, another high official ot tho order, have already arrived and the others are expected to-day. The mass meeting to-morrow night is ex pected to be a big succo-s as, aside from the local speakors and the musical programme, there will boa number of excellent talkers from other points to entertain and instruct the audience. The session of the Grand Court will open Wednesday morning, will probably con tinue for several days, nnd is cxpocted to be the most Interesting to the members since tho organization of the order in this State. S0EE ON C. L MAGEE, A Meadvllle Lawyer Defends Lencli's Connt of Jndge Henderson's Vote. Joshua Douglass, a Meadvllle lawyer, was at the Duqnesno yesterdny. He was one of Judge Henderson's workers at tho Repub lican State Convention. Mr. Douglnss thinks C. L. Magee took nn unfair ndvantnge on the Judge in Ills attack on Leach. Ho claims that tho count was honest, but Sir. Mageo seeing now things wore going in ado the charge against Leach for the effect it would havo on the convention. "I was not a delegate," said Mr. Douglass, "but I think I could havo knocked Magoe out very quickly. If I hdd been allowed to speak. "I insist that Leach waB honest, but tho Allegheny county lender bluffed the con vention. Ho acted ns if he owned the place.

WAR IN SHARPSBURG. A Crusade Commenced Against the Borough Speak-Easies BY CITIZENS WHO WANT ORDER. McClure's Methods Will Xot Ee Employed by the Reformers, AS TIIEY THINK TilEM TERT OBNOXIOUS A crusade against speak-easies has been inaugurated in Sharpsburg. The borough is honeycombed with speak-easies, and so open have their proprietors become that the peace-loving citizens of the borough are up in arms. Saturday night the ministers, the Bur gess and some of tho prominent citizens of the town quietly met in the study of Eev. T. JI. Thompson, the Presbyterian preacher, and adopted methods to wipe out the illegal liquor selling. Their plans are not those employed by the Pittsburg Law nnd Order Society, and Agent McClure can get some valuable pointers if he keeps track of the coming proceedings. "I do not wish it understood," said Eev. Mr. Thompson yesterday, "that our organ ization will be anything like the Pittsburg Law and Order Society. Doesn't Like McClure's Style. "McClure's practices are obnoxious and un-Christianlike. I do not believe it is the proper thing to employ men, have them visit speak-easies and get drunk to detect others. I do not see tho propriety in stop ping tho sale or cigars, soda waters and Sunday papers. They are not such great evils. It is the liquor business which is the menace to Sharpsburg, It is a common thing to see crowds of men, old and young, staggering along our streets on Sunday evenings. It has become so obnoxious that we, who love the true peace of Sunday, will not stand it. In Sharpsburg alone wo have at least 20 speak easies, while the surrounding townshipsalso contribute to the law-breaking. To help it along the borough lias fivo licensed saloons. Councils to Be Asked for Aid. "Wo intend to work along this line. In stead of employing detectives wo will ask tho Borough Councils to givo us nld. Sharps burg has a good force of policemen, and they can do tho work by gathering evldenuo and handing It over to tho constable. He will report the cases to court. This plan, however. Is a last resort. We do not want to be severe. Tho proprietors of the speak easies are nil known. Tney will be visited quietly nnd told of tho danger they nro in. Then, if they will not close up, we intend to push them just as far as tho law will let us. "Thero was one man. Rev. Father Schwab, who did not meet with us Saturday night, but wo expect to socuro his aid. It'was I'O who last fall made charges from his pulpit against some of his congregation who were engaged in tho speak-easy business. His re murks wero so severe that he drove a num ber of tho people out of the business. Their places weie soon taken by others, eager to mako monoy in this sinful way. Father Schwab will be a very valuable man to us." Snnday Visitors From Out of Town. Hov. Mr. Thompson's remarks are voiced by most of tho prominent people of Sharps burg. Etna has been pretty thoroughly cleaned of speak-easies nnd this adds to tho lawlessness of Sharpsburg. Each Sunday crowds from Pittsburg nnd Etna come down to Sharpsburg, Joining tho throngs of people in that borough who patronize the illegal dealers. Thoy do not wait for the darkness of night to aid them in covering their actions, but walk right; into the shops and private houses, where tho stuff is sold in broad daylight. So bold havo the proprietors become that several of thorn havo been doing business with open doors on several occasions lately. A number of the spenk.casies are kept by foreigners. They will be the haidcst to catch. If the illegal dealer is a Polo, Italian or any other foreigner, he will not sell to any person save those- of nis own natlon- miiy. un tins account; it win oo iinru 10 got witnesses against those men. All their customers will refuse to give tostimony. SUNDAY'S AMBULANCE CALL& List of Homes That Wero Darkened by Accidents Yesterday.

Mr. Danley Thinks Upper Berths Will Soon Ho Abolished by Law. "This is a cieat railroad," said E. C. Dan ley at the Union depot lust evening, "hut the accommodations are getting worse every year. Not enough Pullman cars aro run, and, unless you engage a berth throo or four days ahead, it is Impossible to get a lower, and who wants tosleci) In an upper? I think the timo is coming when upper berths will he abolished by Stato laws. It is an insult to ask people to climb into them. The number of cars is cut down thcsoditys to crowd people Into upper berths. "It would be easy and profitable to put on enough cars to accommodate ovorbodv with a lower berth.

Tills Star Creates Quito a Commotion by Her Brilliancy. Thousands of people all over the two cities caught cold last .night watching a brilliant light in tho far West, The light was ono or wonderful brilliancy. Some times it would be more intense and then fade out like nn electric light. This was probably what inspired a Chicago drummer without regard for truth on Sunday to circu late the report that the great 'light was from Chicago, where the World's Fair Commis sion was experimenting with electric bal loons and had sent one up eight miles. Tho story traveled quickly, and peoplo did not stop to consider what an enormous balloon It would require to sustain tho weight of eight miles of heavy wire. The clearness of the atmosphere lent credence to the story until it finally reached the ears of Prof. Keelcr at the Allegheny Observa tory. The man who lives among "the stnrs, the Caprtcnmus and the other tamo billy goats on Observatory Hill, was not to be fooled by a man from Chicago, and said it was Venus reaching her perihelion or maxi mum brilliancy. The learned professor gave no further ex planation, but the wise policeman on that beat opined It must mean it was springtime on that loving plnne, and that the intense brilliancy was caused bv the burning of brush in their backyards, or doing their spring boiling of soft soap.

Modjeskn and the Cnmelll Lady. Dumas' elegant novel, "The Lady of the Camellias," has afforded Modeska an op portunity of displaying some elegant dra matic ability.

Unlike the unfortunate character of the famous story, Camellia is of no uncertain reputa tion, but is honest, sweet, pure and rich. It is honored above all other floura because it is made in Pittsburg, and has sustained its reputation for making the best bread and more to the sack than any other. Try it. Bed Star Line.

HOW FRANK GERADE KILLS TIME. The Murderer Reproduced Flowers That Cheered His Youth. PRISON SNAPS THAT HAYE TAN1SEED Ex-Market Clerk David Hastings, of Al legheny, who is now in jail for juggling with accounts, is being made official crier of the jail. It is a position almost as impor tant as court crier, but is not hampered by a salary. The place is one that is always filled by some long-term man who can be trusted. His duties are to keep track of all the prisoners and their location. In the office prisoners are known by names, but behind the bars they are known only by numbers. When a man is wanted the jail officer simply calls the name to the crier, who will call, for example, ''Eange 15, pre pare No. CO for court." The man is then gotten ready nnd brought down. The place requires a man who can keep track of details. The man who now occupies the place will soon be released and David Hastings has accepted the position. Before he was doing carpenter work about the jail. Warden McAleese says he is one of the handiest men with a hatchet and saw that he has ever met This new position will give the market clerk greater privi leges and will keep his mind constantly employed. Hope Behind Prison Bars. Warden McAleese then got to talking about how confinement affected people. "Iu here," he said, "very few ever get de spondent. A Jail, you know, is simply a place of detention, and there Is always hope as Ions as they are in here. The prisoner can hiilld.fnncies on how he will come off at bis trial and there is none of thnt glve-up-the-strusglc feeling that comes to men sen tenced for a perlodof years. An example of this can bo found in tho case or Frank Gerade, who beat out bis step-daughter's brains. For two years he has lived in a little 5x8 cell and has never been outside of it ex cept when he was taken to court. Snch close confinement tor that length of time iu the Penitentiary would driven man insane. All that keeps him up here is the hope that ho may yet obtain clemency. Gerade has twice been tried and twice convicted of murder in the first desree and he nowhns an applica tion in for tho third trial. Under the prison rules we cannot put him at anything on tho outside and ho simply sits in his celt and smokes. He was a painter and has devel oped into quite an artist." Then the Warden displayed a piece of Gerudo's handiwork. It was a basket of flowers on a table. The flowers wero ones that were familiar with him in his child hood days in the Fatherland, and were rp Sroduced from memory in coloretl chalk, ach detail had been brought nut. He had spent weeks In mnkins tlie plctnre, nnd ho had even reproduced the grain in tho wood or tho table. Keeping ths Man's Mind Kmploypd. "We supply him with material." contin ued Warden McAleese, "and when he has finished one drawing wo ask for another, saying somo one else wants one. He does some very fine work In the way of enlarging photographs, and seoms to tako a pleasure in the work." "Are prisoners allowed to have meals sent in?" was asked. "Not any more," was the reply. "When I first came here meals weie being sent in at the rate of 100 a day. This is not a place for people to come to enjoy themselves. I had to shut down on that. We allow prisoners all tho clean clothes nnd tobacco they want, but thev are only allowed one basket a woek. Of course." the Warden nddod with a wise look, "wo object to tlie size of tho basket. "Tlie tobacco trade was formerly n profit able 0110 here. Wlien I first came I caiurht slzht of the tobacco stand behind tlie bars nnd asked how long it had hoen there, and was told 20 years. It just took mo 20 min utes to wind up the business." Mailed Free. Our new Ul-pase catalogue and price list of fine groceries sent to any address. MitLEn Buos., 182 Federal St., Allegheny.
