,TOE KIKE TEAES ITS ABLE PRESIDENT
"William "Weihe, the big, broad, conserv
ative President of the Amaleamated Asso
ciation, was born in 1815 in -what is now the
Thirteenth ward. His parents were Ger
man. "When he was a child the family re
moved to the Sonthside, and there "William
was sent to the common schools. The pa
Tents were poor, and the yonni; man was not
given very much time to pick up book
learning. He ot along pretty well in the
spelling book and the readers, and secured
a fair knowledge of arithmetic with a touch
of grammar.
At the age of 11 he was compelled toco
to work to aid in the maintenance of the
family. He secured a place in Ihmsen's
glass factory, and there worked, in one
position and another, until he was 20 years
old. At that age he decided to change his
trade, and secured work in the great mill
of Jones and Langhlin's at Brownstown.
He worked first around the turnaces and
rolls, and then entered the puddling depart
ment. First in the Amalgamated.
Mr. "Weihe wasone of the early members
of the Amalgamated Association, entering
it when it was organized in 1874 In the
lodge councils he soon secured recognition
as a man of excellent judgment, whose ad
vice was always valuable, and he rose
rapidly in the association. From the occu
yancy of official positions in his local lodge,
lie became Secretary of the District
Board, ana held that position for
one year. Then he was for five
years a member of the Advisory
Board, and there his work was so effective
that in 1883 he was elected Presi
dent of the Amalgamated Association.
He has continuously held the office since
that time. He has been compelled on ac
count of the duties of that office occupying
all his time to give up his trade. Feeling
that he had fairly served his time at the
head of the great iron and steel organiza
tion, and desiring to encage in private
Business, ne at tne recent dune convention
of the Association declined to be a candi
date for re-election. This refusal was
announced early in the sessions of the con
vention, but there was an almost unani
mous demand made upon him by the dele
gates to withdraw his declination. This he
refused to do, and accordingly Assistant
President Jr. M. Garland was elected to
the Presidency and will assume the office in
October.
HI FfHcicnt Administration.
In the highly responsible office of Presi
dent Mr. "Weihe has displayed remarkable
executive ability. He has been careful and
conservative in all his acts, and his word
came to be unquestioned law becaure his as
sociates and subordinates recognized his ad
"vice as being guided by wisdom and experi
ence. He has seen the Amaleamated Asso
ciation of Iron and Steel Workers grow into
the most powerful labor organization in the
world. He has cmded it safely over the
shoals of many difficulties, and in the pres
ent crisis may be depended upon to give
Bale counsel. 'Whether his advice will pre
vail with the workmen in their present ex
cited condition, remains to be seen.
Mr. Weihe is 0 feet 5U inches fall, and
built broad and sturdy all the way up. He
is a giant in body as well as in mind. He
is ot dark complexion, with a large, broad
head and strong features. He is an agree
able and fluent talker when he wishes to
tpeak, but fully appreciates the times when
silence is golden. He is exceedingly popu
lar with his brother officers, who look upon
l)im as not only their superior, but their
iriend. In politics he is a Democrat

THAT STATION AT DALLAS.
A Good Deal ot Anxiety to What tne
Rallrond Company Will Do,
"I was misquoted about the station at
Dallas," said Michael Trump, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, to a reporter
yesterday, referring to an article published
in one of the Sunday papers. "I did not
say the stations of Dallas and Torrens were
to be consolidated. What I did say is that
no action whatever has been taken.
.Our workmen began yesterday morning on
' new station for Torrens, to be built on the
southwest corner at the intersection with
Fifth avenue. I will say, however, that
Dallas station sh6uld be discontinued when
the new station is completed."
"Why?" was asked. "Doesn't the busi
ness at Dallas warrant a station?"
"I do not referrfo that," said Mr. Trump.
"In the first place the, station is at a dan
gerous point on account of the shifting. In
the second plaoe, it is not so very far to
Fifth avenue."
This latter statement will very4 much as
tonish the good people of North and South
Dallas. They never knew before that they
were a race of pedestrians. The distance
would be short for balloon navigation, per
haps; and that's about the only style of
travel practicable to the people on the
north side with streets as they have been
the nast few winters. The people believe
there is enough patronage at Dallas to jus
tify a new station right where the old one
stands.
The residents of the district interested
are charitable enough to believe that the
citizen from the "boulevard" who, in the
newspaper article referred to was made to
say he favored a consolidation of the two
stations, was also misquoted. They cannot
understand why he should advocate a meas
ure which would result in such great Incon
venience to his neighbors. The people are
oathe anxious seat.
MUSIC FOB THE PEOPLE.
A Concort That Everybody Can Understand
and Hence Knjoy.

will undoubtedly be an interesting one, as

180 FIRST AVENUE,
PITTSBURG, PA.,
Have received a stock of the cele
brated O. F. C. Whiskey, manufact
ured by the George T. Stagg Co.,
Frankfort, Ky., and which is becom
ing popular and is being so generally
used by connoisseurs throughout the
land. The special and distinctive
qualities of this famous whiskey are
its delicate flavor, absolute purity
and great age. There is not a single
bottle of O. F. C. which is not at
least ten years old. This gives an
added richness to its already supe
rior flavor. It certainly is not sur
prising that it has become so popular
and is being called for so generally
by the better classes.
