"WjLSHlSGTOJi, Aug. 4. The spirit of
hankfulness was so pervasive and tangible
t the Capitol to-day as to be almost visi
le. A long drawn out sigh of relief ex
pressed the feelings teelings not always
efore expressed in orthodox language of
early every member of Congress at both
nds of the CapitcL
Members and employes who hare been
weltering in the ill-ventilated halls of the
louse and Senate daring the recent torrid
feather solely on account of the deadlock
ver the Fair appropriation saw signs of
peedy relief, and unless some mishap oc
urs that cannot now be foreseen, Congress
vill adjourn sine die on Saturday after
oon, or at farthest, in the early days of
ext week. Members generally are pack
ng their gripsacks to flee on Saturday, al
hough both Houses to-day extended the
ppropriations to cover August 10.
The Texans who refused to stay in the
ancus yesterday and gave notice that they
rould filibuster against the substitute Dur
urow bill, which provided for an ap
ropriation of ?5,000,000 for the Fair, made
distressing failure to-day. A march was
tolen upon them at the outset, and they
rere defeated in their plans before their
rits woke up.
A Surprise to the Filibustered.
Almost as soon as prayers were said Mr.
Patchings, who returned to the city last
ight, reported a rule from the Committee
n Rules, prescribing that it would be the
rder to-day to suspend the rules for the
asisage of bills, as on the first and third
Iqndays of each month, which are known
s j'suspension days." Here was the point
t uliicli filibustering should have begun,
nt ithe Texan objectors, Kilgore, Bailey
nd Anthony, were busy planning how
ley would obstruct the Durburow bill, and
ie : -nle was adopted without a dissenting
jic ;.
Tl is rule absolutely put it beyond the
owi r of any filibustering to make more
iour or five dilatory motions, as a bill
its passage under a suspension of the
is is not subject to obstruction as it
fild be if taken up in its regular order.
fVlien it dawned upon the Texans that
ljjy were beaten by the rule, Mr. Bailey
I uausted every possible obstructive
otion, but as a quorum voted every time,
id as only a ball-dozen, all Texans, voted
.h him, he could neither pass nor obstruct
motion, could neither get tellers, nor corn
el the calling of the yeas and nays, so that
e was soon at the end of his string, and the
esolntion to suspend the rules and consider
ne Durburow bill in committee of the
hole, a, vote to be taken at 1 o'clock to
lorrow, was'speedily adopted.
The Texas I'podlcy to tlio Front.
Mr. Bailey, the iniant prodigv(he is only
9 years only) from Texas, delivered him
elt of a very well-constructed and sensible
peech, however. He described to tboe
democrats who opposed the 5,000,000
'steal," Out who had agreed to a compro
lise upon 52,500,000, in good set terms the
illainous logic that could denounce the
5,000,000 as a "steal," a "raid on the
"reasury," and with apparently clear con
ciences agree to a "steal" of $2,500,000.
ie had little fault to find with the Demo
rats who had all along favored the appro
priation. He did not condemn the Repub
icaus, but he certainly made those Demo
rats look down their noses aud squirm in
heir chairs, who had talked so highly and
olily against a 55,000,000 steal and had con
ented so easily and grace! ullv to a 52,500,
00 steal.
These half dozen Texans, of whom Mr.
tilgoreand Mr. Bailey are the most con
picuous, assuredly had the logic of the
ituation with them, but they had not much
lse.
This tiresome and disgraceful episode of
he end of the first session of the Fifty-first
loncress will close to-morrow, in all prob
bility. The only chance for further pro
onging the matter will occur it the Dur
urow bill be defeated upon the direct vote
rhen it is reported to the whole House
rom the committee of the whole. It was
learly stated to-day that the caucus action
ound no one to vote for the bill.
Not Otip of tun Tioa That Ulnd.
Mmbers who accepted the compromise
ad agreed to let a vote be taken upon it
rithout obstruction may yet vote against
he bill, and it is possible that the vote mar
e very close. The probabilities are, how
ver, that its passage is insured, as any
ther result would simply lead the Senate
o insist on the retention ot the 55,000,000
jnendment in the sundry civil bill.
Thoueh this bill was sent back to a con
erence by the House, the Senate adjourned
rithout taking any action, and the adjourn
nent is until 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon
-a lorcible hint to the House that the Sen
te does not propose to be the fly that will
ralk into the parlor of the Democratic
pider. Two o'clock is one hour after 1
'clock, the time when the House agreed
ty resolution to take a vote on the'Dur-
turow bilf. It the latter measure pass at
hat time the Senate will at once take it up,
nd when it is safelv passed bv that body,
assed beyond recall, the Senate will then
irovide for a further conference on the suu
Iry civil bill, and possibly, in case all this
appens, the remaining work ot the two
louses may be finished by Saturday evening.
The Durburow substitute bill, it may be
aid, does not meet the approbation of the
riends of the Fair at all, but they feel they
ne forced to accept this or notlftng. if
hey secure the two and a half millions now
t will anewer for expenditures possibly un
it Congress meets in December, whenjan
ther two and a half millions can be asked
or, when the elections do not stare mem
:rs in the face.
ItcporU From the Jajf Committer.
A committee which promises to have sev
eral reports is the Watson "Committee on.
fags," as it has been vulgarly named,
ferry Simpson has prepared a report which
irgues throughout that enough has been
iroved to justify even the sweeping lan
ruage used by Mr. Watson in his campaign
extbook. The Chairman of the committee
vill write a report for the majority, which
vill exonerate Judge Cobb, of Alabama,
rom the charge of drunkenness, and will
old that the evidence in no way supports
he charge of Mr. Watson, that members
rttempted to make speeches when they were
n a, state of maudlin drunkenness, and
lrunken members reeled about the aisles,
vir. Grout, of New Hampshire, the one Ke
ublican of the committee, will probably
iake a third report, showing that it had
een proven that members had been seen
a the floor who were under the influence of
iquor, but not in sufficient numbers or fre
quency to justify language which imputed
a somewhat general inebraition to the
House.
Mr. Watson said this afternoon that he
had no information as to the time when the
reports would be presented to the House,
nor In regard to the character of his pun
ishment. The majority report will severely
censure the offender, and leave it to the
House to name the penalty. Possibly
there may be a scene if any attempt is made
to censure Watson, as the Republicans
may filibuster against any motion to that
efie'et. The Republicans have constantly
given aid and comfort to the Alliance peo
ple in the House, for the purpose of mak
ing more oflensive to them the really shabby
treatment they have had at the hands of
the Democrats.
Watson rieased With Alabama.
Mr. Watson is greatly pleased by the re
sult of the Alabama election. He is con
vinced that Kolb, the Independent Demo
crat candidate, will be found to be fairly
elected Governor if the votes can be hon
estly counted. At least, the majority of
the 'straight-out candidate, instead of being
50,000, as was at first reported, will be re
duced to nothing. Mr. Watson is emphatic,
however, in announcing that Kolb was not
accepted by the Alliance as its candidate.
It is now the policy of the People's party
to formally support tio candidate who is not
an avowed member of the party.
Representative Watson speakei with en
thusiasm of the work that is being done for
pure democracy with a small d, by the
People's party, summing it all up in the
declaration that the result of the movement
will be that the solid South will be broken
up, that there will be no white man's or
black man's partv, that every citizen will
be able to exercise his Tight to suffrage
without hindrance or intimidation, and that
there will be a free ballot and an honest
count. One could forgive a few cranky
propositions in any party or movement
which would bring about such a blissful
condition of affairs in the South.
Political Effect of the FiUbnsterlnc.
That the effect of the Democratic filibus
tering against the World's Fair appropria
tion will be heard in the politics of Illinois
and the States immediately around it, is
claimed by all the Republicans and ad
mitted by many Democrats. A prominent
Democratic member of the House, not from
Illinois, told me to-day that his party might
as well give up all hope of carrying Iowa,
Michigan, and even Indiana, as these States
were almost equally with Illinois inter
ested in and enthusiastic for the success of
Fair. This member had lately been through
all of the States named, and he declared
that it seems to be the unanimous senti
ment of the people that the Democrats had
made such colossal fools of themselves in
this Fair matter that they ought to be
taught a severe salutary lesson.
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who is one of
the most practical, dispassionate and
philosophical of men, takes very easily the
tremendous effort which be asserts is being
made to defeat his re-election. He is in
formed that about 8,000 negroes have been
imported from Southern States into his dis
trict to work on a new railroad, and that an
attempt will be made to vote them against
him. Mr. Simpson says, however, that he
has about 10,000 certain majority and he
can stand a few thousand imported fraudu
lent votes, if those who try to vote them can.
Mr. Simpson is emphatic in giving bis assur
ance that the People's party will carry
Kansas, the State ticket and the Presi
dental electors, by a large majority.
DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.
William Eerie, the Tloneer Iron Mill
Bnllder or Western Pennsylvania Grad
ually raises Away at Ills Home In Boli
var at the Ace or 101 Tears.
William Reese, the pioneer iron-mill
builder of Pennsylvania, and the oldest
resident of Western Pennsylvania, died yes
terday at his home in Westmoreland county
at the age of 104 years.
The deceased was widely known through
out the Western counties of Pennsylvania,
as he here made his home for the last 60
years. His descendants extend to the fourth
generation, there being a number of sons,
daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
over 600 in alL Jacob Reese, the
patentee of Philadelphia, Isaac Reese, a
well-known Pittsburg business man, and
Abram Reese, engaged in inventions in
Pittsburg, are sons of Mr. William Beese,
and among his grandchildren are Miss
Reese, a bright newspaper writer, Charles
Reese, an illustrator and cartoonist engaged
in Pittsburg.
William Reese was born in Wales, June
14, 1788, and came to America some 60
years ago. He was engaged in the iron
manufacturing business in Wales, and upon
his arrival in Pennsylvania began buildinz
iron and steel mills. During his business
career he erected some of the largest mills'
in Pennsylvania, and was the pioneer of
iron men in the Eastern part of the State.
During the last quarter of a century Mr.
Reese has not been engaged in business pur
suits and made his home with his daughter
Rachel, in Bolivar, Westmoreland county.
The old gentleman had a remakably healthy
life, as he never spent a day in bed on ac
count of illness. He has been in failing
health daring the last three months, al
though his appetite remained good to the
last and he was able to partake of his iood
with his usual regularity. The funeral ar
rangements have not been completed.

FOILED BV A TRICK.
Nebraska Republicans Blake No Nomina
tion Because the Llehtg Go Out.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4 After the most
bitter struggle ever known in a Nebraska
Republican convention, the State conven
tion adjourned at 7 o'clock this evening,
without having made a nomination. The
delegates will reconvene at 9:30 to-morrow
morning, and the fight will be renewed.
The great contest came on at 3:30, when the
ballot for Governor began. The nominees
were: Lorenzo Crounze, Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury; ex-Congressman
Thomas Majors, Lawson Sheldon, A. E.
Caddy, Jack McCall and Judge Reese. The
first ballot resulted: Crounze, 376; Majors,
314; Sheldon, 42; Cody, 82; Beese. L
There was little change on the second bal
lot, but when the third ballot was ordered
the trouble began. Pandemonium reigned
for half an hour, but at 6:45 another ballot
was taken, which resulted: Crounze, 393;
Majors, 317; Sheldon, 33; Cady. 60; McCall,
40; Beese, 2. After the result had been
known, an effort was made to adjourn
but the motion was lost. There was con
siderable filibustering and in the middle of
it, the lights in the Opera House were
turned out, A theatrical troupe was booked
to play there to-night, and in order to
secure adjournment, the proprietor of the
theater took this means to bring tbe con
vention to time. The play proved suc
cessful, and the convention was forced to
adjonrn until morning.
The platform, which is lengthy, indorses
President Harrison's administration and
denounces Pinkertonism, and favors
Government postal telegraph and postal
savings banks.
ELAINE LIVING IS SECLUSI05.
Bat Be and Morton Will Take an Active
Fart In the Campaign.
Bar Habbok, Aug. 4. SpecidW Of
the talk of Mr. Blaine's taking the stump
comparatively little is heard here, for at
this season Bar Harbor deals but little in
politics. Mr. Blaiue is living in the ut
most seclusion at Stanwood, seeing few but
his most intimate friends. That his mind
is actively at work, however, is shown by
the fact that he is in conference with states
men and politicians. It is said that one of
the members of Mr. Harrison's Cabinet
called upon Mr. Blaine last week.
Mr. Blaine passed last Monday in Ells
worth, visiting Senator Hale, who is to take
the stump very soon. Joseph H. Manlev.
of Augusta, came up to Ellsworth Tuesday
night, which he spent at Senator Hale's,
and then came on to Bar Harbor and spent
an hour with Mr. Blaine. Both Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Manley decline to speak for publi
cation, at present at least. Mr. Manley,
who Ib to return here soon, will have some
thing to tell when the plans are perfected.
Mr. Blaine, it is positively asserted, will
take the stump during the" campaign, and
do all he can for the success of his.party.
It is also asserted that Vice President Mor
ton will take an active part in the cam
paign. JONES' MAJ0KITI ABOUT 20,000,
But the Eolbltes Still SttcK to It That Their
Man Has Won.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 4. Reports
from all the counties but two have
been received. The official count will
take place Saturday. Governor Jones'
majority will be in the neigh
borhood of 20,000. Further reports
confirm the statement that there will be a
two-thirds majority for Jones, Democrat, in
tht Legislature. P. G. Bowman, Chair
man ot the Kolb Jefiersonian Democratic
Executive Committee, has issued a circular
to their partisans, saying.
You are requested to meet at the Court
House or your county on next Batutday for
the purpose of seeing that the votes cast at
the election of August 1, 1892, are correctly
and tatrly counted. You will make note of
all irregularities. Keep an account of all
votes that weie illegally cast and bo
prepared to have it. Circulate this
among your friends and go to the
Court House in such numbeis as to show
that you are determined to preserve vour
rights. The indications now are that Kolb
is elected Governor and that tbe Legislature
will be composed of true men who will see
Justice done in the premises. And I urge
you to do your duty, from now on, as you
nave done in the past, and not lose the fruits
ofyourvlotory.

6TEV32HSON IN KENTUCKY.
The Demoeratlo Nominee Begins Bis Cam
paigning in His Old Home State.
Louisville, Kt., Aug. 4 This has
been a great day and night for the Kentucky
Democrats. The opening and dedication of
the new Watterson Clubhouse drew to
gether all the leaders of the party in the
State. The Governor and bis staff came
down from Frankfort The Legislature was
left without a quorum. But the chief
feature of the occasion was the pres
ence ot Hon. Adlai -E. Stevenson,
Democrat nominee for Vice President who
came at the invitation of the Watterson
Club, and spoke both to a great concourse
of people at Leiderkranz Hall and to a
smaller gathering at the Watterson Club
house, where he was given a reception, and
where Mr. Watterson, in spite of his-j-ecent
severe illness, of which he showed decided
traces, also spoke.
Hon. John Yonng Brown, Governor of
Kentucky, presided over the great mass
meeting, and introduced General Steven
son to the immense audience. He was
greeted with tumultuous enthusiasm. His
speech was devoted to the great deeds of
Kentuckians and Illinoisans, and was
punctuated with applause. Speeches were
also made by Hon. J. Proctor Knott, Hon.
James A. McKenzie, Hon. Boyd Win
chester, Hon. Albert S. Willis, and others.
After the adjournment oi the mass meeting
General Stevenson gave a publio reception.
The members of the Watterson Club and
their invited guests then repaired to the
Watterson Clubhouse, where a repast, fol
lowed by a feast ot reason and a flow of
soul, awaited the Democratic braves. Mr.
Watterson, though still suffering, made a
characteristic address.
Democrats Catch Republicans Napping.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 4. County
elections were held in all the counties of
this State to-day. The elections were quiet
In Middle and West Tennessee, as a rule,
Democrats were elected and in East Tennes
see Republicans, though in Chattanooga, a
Republican city, the Democrats took the
Republicans unawares and swept tbe
county. In the Congressional primaries in
the Fifth Congressional district Hon. J. D.
Richardson is overwhelmingly elected, de

SUCCESS AT ETNA.
Members of the Amalgamated Association
Do Not Like the Idea of Non-Cnlon
Men Being in the JU1U of Spang, Chal
ftnt Si Co.
Success marks the operation of the plate
department in the works of Spang, Chalfant
& Co. at Etna. All the furnaces are run
ning full blast and the requisite number of
heats are being made. The members of the
Amalgamated Association do not seem to
take kindly to the change in af
fairs. When they learned that
the plate department was being
operated successfully they immediately is
sued a call for a meeting. This call reads
as follows: "There will be a mass meeting
in Odd Fellows Hall on Thursday after
noon. All the iron and steel uorkers of
Etna are invited to attend. All working
men come. By order of the committee."
A representative of The Dispatch went
to Etna about 2 o'clock, the time set tor
the Catherine, and met several members of
the Amalgamated Association, who said
that the meeting was open to anyone, but
fore the meeting cemmenced several out
siders were told to retire by Thomas Byers,
one of the Mill Committee. A visit to tbe
office of Spang, Chalfant & Co. revealed that
the plate mill crew had just finished their
last heat. 'The iron turned out is as good as
that made before the shut down.
Manager Chalfant was"seen coming 'to
ward the mill, and when spoken to said:
You have been through the milk We. do
not keep anyone out who wishes to go iu.
The gates are open, and we have
had no trouble. The men are better
satisfied now than they were before,
and alter resuming operations Tuesday
over SO of bur old employes, and as many
strangers, asked for employment They
were informed that at present there was no
work for them." The entire puddling de
partment is repaired and ready to start at
any time, though no attempt has been made
to put it in operation.
One of the Amalgamated men was seen
later in the evening. In speaking of the
afternoon meeting he said: "We had a good
meeting. President-elect Garland and
Vice President Sheehan, of the Amalga
mated Association, were present and
made stirring addresses to the men, about
200 of whom were in the hall. They
cautioned the men to stand together and
said they would undoubtedly win. Secretary-elect
Kilgallon was also present, and
warned the men not to use violence in
getting the workers now at work to cease
operations. A vote was taken on tbe arbi
tration question and that measure met with
unanimous defeat"
Tbe Etna merchants complain of a dull
ness in trade. Thev say their customers
are buying closer and some are confining
themselves only to necessities. The only
rolling mill in the borough idle, and two of
the three blast furnaces not working,
makes business practically at a standstill,
and many are eagerly awaiting a settle
ment HOT BUEPASSED BY ANY.
Description of the New Rolling Mill Added
to the Hrapp Works.
Recently a new rolling mill has been
added to the Krupp works in the Ohio Val
ley which, it is stated, Is not surpassed by
any in the world. It is for rolling armor
plates, and turns out the heaviest plates of
this description that cap possibly be re
quired; that is, those of about 28-inch thick
ness and nearly four yards wide. Some
idea of the dimensions or this machine may
be obtained from the statement that each
pair of crucible rollers, when in the rough
state, weighed 100,000 pounds; and the en
tire rolling mill, with its reversing engine,
the large furnaces, the cranes that can move
300,000 pounds, its beuding presses, etc.,
form of themselves almost a complete
plant
Immense shears, with long, steel blades,
cut through the plates as easily as ordinary
shears cut through paper, and extremely
thin plates are also produced. Automatie
tables are employed tor raising and lower
ing the plates in their passage from one set
ot rollers to the other, and automatic de
vices for guiding them as they pass be
tween tbe rollers or are taken from them.
So automatic is this process that, without
the aid of tongs or levers, the glowing
blocks move back and forth between the
rollers.
An Excellent Showing
For the fiscal year ending June 30, -1892,
the Government report of the manufacture
of tin and terne plate in the Unit ed States
shows that the total amount of tin turned
out during the vcar was 4,539,231 pounds,.
and of terne 9,162,329 pounds. This is con
sidered a handsome exhibit for this indus
try. A New Coal Plant.
The piece of land along the line of tbe
Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny
Bailroad at Buena Vista recently pur
chased by John W. Painter and Bobert and
Frank Carroll, contains 265 acres. Upon it
will be bnilt one of the ' largest coal plants
along the Youghiogheny river.

1 per cent, with other special laws, on all
crops and produce lands, averaging ly, per
cent on the assessment of property, and
to issne bonds for the construction of
levees.
The motion of these two boards completes
the levee system in Louisiana, taking all
the levees away from the control of the
State and placing thera under local.control.
It means a large increase in the revenue for
levee building and the raising and strength
ening of levees. The La Fourche levee
district will undertake at once the construc

The Export Demand Bather Better Than
Domestic Inquiry.
MnraiAPOLis, Aug. L The Xortfucettern
Hitter says: As a result of accidents, caus
ing two mills to stand idle the cloilnj half
of last week and others to lose more or less
time, the flour output fell short of what it
was expected to be. The week's production
was 192.610 barrels, averaging 32,102 barrels
daily, ngainst 193,070 barrels the previous
week, 171,400 for the corresponding time in
1891 and 196,470 barrels in 1890. For the same
reason that existed last week, tbe output
for this week will likely show a decrease.
Flonr continues in active demand, and, as
wheat is a trifle cheaper, prices are easier.
Foreigners appear to be mora tesponsive to
any strength shown in wheat than Ameri
cans are, and the export trade is, if any
thing, rather better than domestic. The
direct exports last week were 72 500 Darrels,
against 70,160 barrels the preceding week.

IMPROVEMENTS IN ALLEGHENY.
Streets Must Be Sewered Before They Will
lie Krpaved Mr. Henrlcks Presents a
Plan for the Issuance of 81,000,000
Worth of BondL
The Allegheny sub-committee on streets
and sewers had an interesting meeting last
evening. Tbe question of the relationship
of sewering to paving occupied considerable
attention, and the committee put itself on
record as being opposed to the paving or re
pavlng of any street until after it has been
sewered and the sewer completed for at least
six months.
There were brought up abont a dozen
ordinances for the repaying of minor streets
with vitrified brick, asphalt block or asphalt
sheet. The committee added in each case
the words "or other improved pavement,"
and recommended to the Committee on
Public Works such ordinances as referred
to streets already sewered. Chairman Faulin
said he thought tbe committee ought not to
recommend the paving of any street where
the property owners had not secured sewer
aze facilities. Mr. Henricks thought it
ought to be made clear to the people that
they must petition for sewers before asking
for paving.
The committee affirmatively recommended
an ordinance providing that no street shall
be repaved with improved pavement nnless
already sewered or where the sewering can
be done In the rear alleys, and that no re
paving shall be done until at least six
months alter the sewering has been com
pleted. Henrlcks on G-nrra! Improvements.
In connection with the question of re
paving and sewering Mr. Henricks pre
sented the following statement to the com
mittee: The present discussion of the subject of
public improvements In Allegheny City is
one of great importance to the future wel
fare of the city, aud it should be the aim of
tbe committee to fully set forth the needs
of the entire city, not a portion or particular
section. We need better streets, better
sewerage,-new and wide avenues to the sub
urbs, more light, and last, but not least, we
will havo to provide & better source of
water supply before a great while. The
public should be thoroughly informed as to
the probable cost and manner of paying for
the same. For large expenditures of money
for permanent improvements tbe issue of
bonds is the proper method, as it removes
the burden and distributes it so that when
the time for payment comes, a larger popu
lation, a larger property valuation, and con
sequently larger tax receiptsand a sinking
fund, created by yearly amouts set aside,
are ready to meet the bonds.
In connection with this Question, I desire
to call attention to several facts. One mill
tax yearly will provide for an issue of $1,
000,000 bonds, at 4 per cent interest, payable
lnSOyoars. One and one-half mill tax will
provide for $1,500,000 bonds, payable in 80
years. The property valuation of Alleghenv
is about $70,000,000, and 1 mill raises $70,000
yearly; IU mill would raise $105 000. With
$1,000,000 bonds we could set $500 000 aside for
street improvements, allow $300,000 for the
Butchers' Run, Woods' Run and other needed
sewers, allow about $50,000 te pay for con
demning toll roads within the city limits,
set aside $50,0C0 for increased electric light,
and have $100 000 for general purposes, such
as assisting in paying damages for opening
or new and wide streets to develop the out
lying wards, etc.
Developing the Ontstde Districts.
The valuation of rural propertv is about
$25,000,000, out of a total of $70,000 COO. The
acreage of the rural wards is 3,200 out ot
4,720. By Judicious management and open
ing of Rood streets the valuation would be
so raised that in the course of a few years
the rural wards would pay most of the tax,
and longbeloie the bonds would be duo tbe
money expended on new avenues would be
returned many times over. As an illustra
tion. nrODertv where California avenne is
laid out could have been bought two rears
ago from $1,500 to $2,500. In other words, it
returns over Ave liii'es the taxes to the
city treasury since the avenue has been
ODened. The balance of the rural wards
will, if properly opened up, add their quota
of inci eased tax returns to the city. The
mechanic, merchant and wealthy clas3'can
all find homes at reasonable figures and the
exodus to the East End of Pltfburg bo
stopped. With a million and a hair bonds
the extra $500,000 conld De expended on tbe
water supply and a better supply secured. I
would suggest that meetings be held in eaoh
ward and the matter thoroughly discussed,
and citizens and Councilman have a full in
terchange of views, so that whatever be
done in November next be for the best in
terests of the entire city.
Chairman Faulin said he considered the
matter suggested by Mr. Henricks to be of
great importance, and thought the members
of the committee ought to have' time to con
sider it some length. At the request of Mr.
Henricks the communication was laid over,
so that members could study the questions
involved. He hoped the committee would
be able to formulate a general plan to be
submitted to the Finance Committee.
The committee opened bids for repaying
Cabinet street and lor the construction of a
jetty to carry the Butchers' Run sewer out
into the current in the Allegheny river.

Letter to thn Pope.
New Yokk, Aug. 4. Archbishop Cor
rigan was seen this morning at bis residence
in relation to a cablegram from Rome,
charging him with disrespect to the Pope.
The Archbishop said he was perfectly
willing to give out for publication the letter
which was sent by him and his fellow
Bishops to His Holiness, aud that if this
letter gives ground for the charge of dis
respect to the Pope he (the Archbishop) il
willing to stand by it He declined, how
ever, to give for publication tbe letter
which he sent to the Pope previous to Juno
13, claiming that what he wrote to the
Pope was "his own private business." He f
said:
It Archbishop Ireland will publish hie
memorial, I am willing to publish tbe pre
ceding letters. This parochial school scheme
of Faribault is nothing new in this country.
It exists in Poughkeepsle in my own diocrso.
In Savannah, Ga., and. In fact, in ten dif
ferent localities in the United States. If I
cared to I could refuse permission for tba

I, however, permit it in this place.
Tlieletter of Archbishop Corrigan to the
Pope is subjoined:
Most Holt Father The Apostolic letter
which Tour Holiness destined to write to us,
the pastors of the ecclesiastical province or
New York, has been Joyrully received and
most willingly accepted, for It and the
rescript published in the controversy pro
posed by tbe Most Rev. Archbishop of St.
Paul we return Your Holiness our bese
thanks. With all our strength we always
endeavor to remove discussions among
pastors, and to keep inviolate the bonds of
charity among all for the promotion of tha
spiritual welfare of the faithful and to
foster and inciease union with the Apostollo
See.
Nor do we deem that we have failed in
this, the greatest of pastoral duty by open
ing our mind to Your Holiness, ai we were
Induced to do so, not in a spirit of strife.buc
through a deep sense of our pastoral office.
Nor did we suppose, in like manner that
our letter would suggest even the slightest
doubt of our obedience to the See of Peter,
both because we acted simplv in tbe dis
charge of our duty, as also because it Is
well known that we have always lullr and
cheerfully obeyed the orders and advice of
Your Holiness.
Carrying out the wish of Your Holiness,
with united counsels, e will employ every
means to provide for the properinstructioa
of Catholic youths attending public schools;
but, lest there be any suspicion that thus
fur our episcopal solicitude has not extended
ltdeir in this direction, we beg toiniorm
Your Holiness that in the entire ecclesias
tical province or New York Sunday school
have been establ.shed In which, alter com
plying with the precept of hearing mass.tha
boys and girls attending the public schools
are taught their catechism. Meanwhlle.pros
trate at tbe feet of Your Holiness, we again
profess oar obedience to your beatitude
and beg tbe Apostolic benediction.

CHOLERA INFANTUM.
It Is Easily Avoided and May Often Ba
Aj Easily Relieved.
Cholera Infantum can be prevented by proper
feeding, and It can often be cured In the same way.
Mr. Horace R. Lane, of Burlington, Vt., writing
to tbe Boston Journal, says:
"With this letter I send yon a photograph of
Bessie F. Lane, whose life. I think, was uved by
the use or lactatcd food. Her mother conld not
nurse the little one, and the doctor ordered one of
the oldest and most
widely advertised
artificial foods; bat
Bessie refused to
take It. The doc
tor then recom
mended lactated
food, and the baby
liked it, thrlred as
well as on mother's
milk, and was the
picture of health
while riving upon
( T afar) -when
BESSIE LASE. ' "
she was a little over two years old. she was taken
with a severe attack of cholera Infantum, and was
so low that life was despaired of.
Lactated fcod was riTcn. and all other nourish
ment stopped, and she soon nicked up. gaining
flesh rapidly, and is to-day. as the photograph
shows, a picture of perfect health. 1 hare adrlaed
many of my friends to use lactated food, and
It has never yet failed to do all that Is claimed
for It."
Infants fed on lactated food suffer less and fewer
die than those fed on any other.
Mothers should thoroughly understand what this
lactated food Is, how pure and nourishing and how
succeasfullr It meets nature's requirements. It is
a food which contain all the nntrltlre properties
sufficient to develop the child's bone, muscle and
fat, and which Is digestible from the time of birth
and nourishes as long as it Is eaten.
No sugar Is used In it but tbe pure sugar of milk,
and this In proportion to most closely represent
mother's milk. With It Is combined pure barley
malt, tbe finest wheat gluten, and the nutritious
elements of the oat, and the mixture Is thoroughly
cooked by high steamfheat.
The little ones like it why shouldn't they?
