Wp p2-f THE PITTSpURS DISPATCH, , SATURDAY, t DECEMBER , 8; 1892. inch women 4s he had known several of them to reform and lead better Jives. 'The infidelity of onr people is to blame to a certain extent," Mr. Donehoo concluded. The Mayor then notified the ministers that a gentleman who refused' the use ot his came had handed him $100 to be used for the benefit of the unfortunates. He said he would turn the money over to any com mitte the ministers might name to receive it' He then urged the appointment of a committee as the best possible way to cet at the wort for which they had' been called together. Bev. Mr. Sands and Dr. Littell' assured the Mayor that the church people of the city would sustain his course, and both pledged him their confidence and help, but the Mayor assured both that he was not seeking public applause in the matter. He said he was onlv endeavoring to do his duty as he saw if regardless of whom he pleased or displeased. lie v. Dr. Miles, one of the managers of the Bethesda Home, assured the meeting that his institution was open to any of the outcasts who wanted a home thc-xe. He eaid the home could accommodate 50 of the wo men, and that they would- be delighted to have them if they'evidenced any desire to reform. He questioned gravely whether any of the women wanted to chance their lives, and he said with some emphasis that any who did could find help and comfort at the Betbseda institution. Taking a Common-Sense View. Rev. Dr. Hodges said he did not thint the ends sought lor will he attained. "The condition now confronting us is indeed a grave one," Mr. Hodges said. "To drive the women from their resorts is like treat ing a sore on the body and spreading the disease all through the system. I think that a blunder was made at the bottom of the whole business, but since it is upon us we should look the matter squarely in the face and do what we can ior these women. I don't think the closing of these houses will reform these women, but I am willing to lend a helping hand." Bev. Dr. Miller, an old gentleman whose hair and beard were white as chalk, had little sympathy with the women. He said he had no moiiey to give the outcasts, and he would not give them money if he had it. He had no confidence in their professions to reform. He denounced them all as law breakers, and lie Insisted that they should be punished as other criminals. The work house, lie said, was the proper place for all ol them. "Let the county take care of the outcasts," Mr. Miller concluded. He said he was a pastor of a small congregation out Penn avenue. I'.ev. M. Stanton agreed with Rev. Mr. Miller. He did not believe that the women who came to the Mayor the dav previous crjitur ior relorm, wanted any reform. He said the women were doing all this for tliow. He argued that there are tricks in all trades and he argued that if the women knew that the Mayor had $100 to disburse for their uses that all of them would want to reform until the money was (-one. 1'rau.e for Francis Murphy. This rather nettled the Mayor. He swung himself unpatientlj in his chair, his pleasant face clouded and his features twisted like one in anger. Then he said: "Look here, gentleman. I grossly question the methods you would apply. 1 rather believe in the means employed by Fraucis Murphy. He goes down among the drunkard, He extends to them a helping hand and he lifts them up. f-Tou preach to the same 100 or 200 people every Sunday and von never go outside to hunt sinners. ' This was accepted by the brethren as a rather pointed thrust at them. They looked earnestly ut each other, and all seemed lost ior a.i answer. Finally Rev. Mr. Donehoo straightened himself in the easy chair he occjpicd, and with some emnhasis said: "X don't think so, Mr. Mavor." ""-Veil. I do think io," the Mayor an swered quickly. "I admit," His Honor went on, "that you occasionally get a tinner into j our church to hear you preach, hut I hare "no knowledge of your coing down among the sinners to help them." 'Vh) don't you go down among them?" lte. Mr. Miller asked sarcastically. "It is not my place to go down among the criminals ana law-breakers," the Mayor answered emphatically. Miss Kurd, a missionary who wai among the women present, realizing that the dis play oi temper might destroy the work for which thev had gathered, uskedtobe heard. Miis Kurd is a sweet faced little woman. She is rather liaudsome. She was sincere and earnest and her sweet voice rang out in the room like a silver belL The War to Reclaim Outcasts. She said that she could not make a speech but sl.e believed that the way to reclaim the outcasts was to co among them. "I believe we should go among them," she said. "I go among ttieni every day. These women want lore. They want divine love. There are hopes for many of these women but to reclaim them we must go to their homes and throw our arms about them and pray with them and for them." "It may be all right for you to throw jour arms about these women, Miss Burd," Rev. Littell said, "but it w ould not do for me to do it. I would be glad to go to these women. 1 love mv sisters, good and bad, and I would go to these now if X knew where to find them." "I would be glad to lead you to their re sorts," Miss Burd taid. "I have found them ready to receive anyone who ii will ing to talk and pray with them, and I am confident many of them can be reclaimed if the ministers wili extend a helping hand. I " "How long have you been at work and how manv of these women have you re-c'alme-l?" Rev. E. R. Donehoo interrupted. "I have only started in the work I was about to explain myself," the little woman answered. "Those who are about to lny off the armor ere mere competent to talk than those who are about to put it on," Rev. Mr. Donehoo remarked with a smile. Major Gourley said he thought there was a great deal ot truth in Miss Burd's re marks. Rev. Mr. Donehoo also took exceptions to the Mayor's remarks. He said Miss Burd had no right to arraign the ministers.. Mr. Donehoo liaises an Objection. Mr. 1'farr, representing the Salvation Army, said he, too, wanted to indorse the sentiments expressed by Miss Burd. The gentleman was about to make an extended speech when Rev. Donehoo, now thoroughly aroused and more or less indig nant, jumped to his feet and with his voice trembling with passion, said: "Mr. Mayor, I was led to believe that this was to be a meeting of ministers." A few explanations followed. Miss Burd said she had no disposition to arraign the ministry. She was disposed rather to applaud them. Mr. Pfarr explained that he was not a minister, but that he was a Christian" gentleman, and that be was pres ent to help the cause. The explanations rattier embarrassed the meeting, and by way of relief Rev. Dr. Sands moved that a committee be appointed to whom the Mayor could refer any of the women who wanted to reform, and for whom homes would be found. Mr. Sands started to came this committee, and placed among others the names of members of the Salvatiou Army on the list Several of those present ob jected on the ground that the committee should consist of ministers alone. It was finally decided that the committee should consist of RevsLittell, Donehoo, Gisler. Applegarth, Hodges and Miss E. I Burd. A motion wu also adopted that Mayor Gourley continue to enforce the laws, and the ministers guaranteed him their sup port. Before leaving the ministers united in assuring the Mayor that they would be in dustrious in their efforts to take care of the women when the places are closed. They also assured His Honor that the House of the Good Shepherd, on Troy Hill, the' Bethesda Home, the Bethany Home and the Christian Home of Allegheny were all open to the outcasts. A Home for an Outcast. After the meeting had adjourned and be fore the gathering; had dispersed, an old lady was ushered into the Mayor's private office. She looked about her like one thoroughly frightened. She was plainly on' npfltlv 3r0r TTa. tnnHl tttrl nt her being a widow. Her round full face, kindly as & mother's, without a mark other than that ot Christian charity, flushed a trifle when she faced the gathering. She took the seat nearest the door, and she looked anxiously about, evidently looking for a familiar figure. When Mayor Gour ley turned to her she arose, extended her hand and in a voice trembling slightly she said: "Mavor,, I have come to ofler you my blessing. Ton have done your duty. I will ever pray for you. While X prar for you I will also pray for the outcasts. I have at mv home a spare room, with a comforta ble bed for two, which I wish to extend to any of these women who will come and live with me and reform. My name is Mrs. John Williams. I live at 2714 Carson street, Southside." Then the old lady bowed politely, and without ceremony left the room. "God bless you," the Mayor said, as the figure in black passed out into the streets, taking with her enough real affection to warm the world. The condemned houses were all opened last night, and there was general rejoicing among the women. HUNTING NEW HOMES. Some of Kttsbnr-r's Outcasts Go to McKees- port for Locations. A dispatch from McKeesport says: The real estate dealers and agents of this city have been besieged to-day by applications for houses to rent to the women whom the authorities intend driving out of Pittsburg. Xt was not known until late in the day that the powers-that-he at Pittsburg had fallen out over the execution of the Mayor's order and that the weak sisters had been given more time, bnt there was no apparent let up in the quest for houses even after the fact was known. Xn most cases they met with unconditional refusals, but it is said that some of them succeeded in. rent ing. Mayor Tilbrook says he can do noth ing to prevent them coming here so long as they deport themselves properly. CHURCH WOMEN MEET. They Appoint Committees to Help Care for the Outcasts. The ladies of the Filth Avenue M. E. Church held a meeting yesterday afternoon to consider the advisability of assisting the women affected by the police order closing the disorderly houses of the city. A com mittee was appointed to act for the church women. Meetings of a similar nature were held by the womeu of other churches in the city and at each meeting committees were ap pointed to act with the authorities of the charitable institutions in caring for the out casts. Many Gone to Wheeling. A dispatch from Wheeling says: A num ber of the women banished from Pittsburg were reported to be in Wheeling laBt night. A few girls secured rooms here. Chief of Police McNichols gave the women who were thought likely to harbor them orders not to do so, on pain of arrest, and the women promised to respect the order. A MINISTER RECLAIMED. He Signs a Murphy Pledge A Touching Scene Enacted The Meetings Becoming More Interesting Large Crowds Listen to the Great Temperance Reformer. There was a little scene enacted at La fayete Hall last night that those who hap pened to be present will not forget. The Francis Murphv temperance meeting had just been organized and the hall was more than comfortably crowded with men, women and children eager to hear the words ot temperance and encouragement from the lips of the great apostle of temperance. Mr. Murphy had just finished the reading of the gospel and Prof. Weeden was about to announce the opening hymn when there arose in the middle of the audience a man whose appearance indicated that he had been dissipating. This man, in a deep penitent voice, begged Mr. Murphy and those present to pray for him. The prayer that followed was long and fervent and the man sat with bowed head and tear-stained clieek A few minutes later the man ap proached the stage and in company with Mr. Murphy knelt down on the stage and prayed long and loud together. The choir and audience in the meantime sang with deep earnestness that stirring old hvmn, "Jesus Will Carry You Through." "The two men arose, and the one leaning on the arm of the other walked over to the little table, and with a "God help me" affixed his name to a pledge. Xt was then, announced that the man was an ex-minister of the gospel, who had fallen by the. wayside. The meeting of itself was a big success. Mr. Murphy made one of his stirring speeches. J. M. Kelly spoke of the good work be ing done by the Kceley League. Addresses were made by A. M. Brown, J. W. More land and others. Another meetinir will be held at Lafayette Hall to-night and Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Carnegie Hall, Allegheny.

He declares himself a candidate lor United States Senator, but paradoxically predicts a victory for his opponent in the fight, Senator Quay. . Will Open Headquarters. Immediately after the Republican nomi nations the City Committee will open head quarters for the campaign in the Magee building, where the County Committee was located in the recent contest. o THREE MONTHS' GAINS -OF- IHE .A - September, October, November, September, October, November, September, October, November, iSp2, THE DISPATCH WANTS A A $$$ DALZELLSTiLL IN IT, His Canvass for" Senator Quay's Shoes Still Going on Vigorously. CONGRESSMEN GO THROUGH Interesting Political Talk bj Warwick's Successor. Mr. REFOBH IN MUNICIPAL OFFICES Earnestly Promised by the Citizens' dnstrial Alliance, In- ITEMS OF LOCAL POLITICAL INTEREST ' Frank Case, chief lieutenant for Con gressman Dalzell, was at the Union depot last evening to have a final interview with the little lawmaker before he started for Washington to be present at the opening of Congress. Mr. Dalzell was scheduled to leave from the station, but instead the fast line stopped at Hawkins for him, so Mr. Case didn't have the chat he expected. , "Isv Dalzell still a candidate for the United States Senate?" was asked. "What," replied Mr. Case, with some show of astonishment and repeating the question, "is he still a candidate? Why he was never out of the race, and will be in it to the end. And by the way, Senator Quay will not have the easy walkover that he anticipates. Several months ago X visited many of the legislative candidates from the northwestern counties, and I was favorably received and premised their support for Dalzell. I haven't seen them since the election, but it is needless to say that most of them were elected. I have made all my arrangements to start out on an active canvass for Dalzell in a few days. In a short time the Allegheny county delegation will indorse the Congressman, and this will be the basis of my work. I don't like to give away secrets, but have a little patience and you will see where Mr. Dalzell stands." Tho Dalzell Bureau Still Active. The Dalzell bureau that was organized last spring to boom the Congressman and later was abandoned is not dead, and its members individually are at work trying to secure pledges from rural members. The Philadelphia delegation is lost, ot course, but the plan is to unite the country and the smaller towns against the Eastern metropolis It is understood that the Dalzell people'are trying to prevent the re-election of Senator Quay if they find that their candidate can't win out Congressman Jack Robinson, with his little boom, hasn't been heard from for some time, hut it is safe to say when the vote is taken at Harris burg he will be on hand urging his friends in the Legislature to stand by Quay. Farmer Taggart, of Montgomery county, may be a candidate. If he is, it is argued that he will hurt Dal zell more than the Beaver Statesman. John Cessna is putting in some good licks ior the local Congressman in Central Pennsylvania. It has been, war to the knife with him for some years so far as Senator' Quay is con cerned, and if '(ho old man could lick Matthew Stanlny for the Senate he would be content to die in peace. But the chances are strongly against him. Congressmen Flocking to Washington. The reopening of Congress on Monday is taking the members to Washington just now at a lively rate. Some of Ihetn have been at the capital for a month arranging their homes and work for the winter, but the bulk of them will tumble into the town like a lot of sheep between this time and Sunday evening. Colonel W. A. Stone sent his family last evening, and will follow to-night. Tjie Western delegations are scheduled to pass through Pittsburg to day. Last evening Congressman Shiuely, of Indiana, a son-in-law of George A. Jenk.s; Hurd, of St. Louis, and L. T. Obliger, of Wooster, the successor to Warwick, were among the Washington passengers. The trio are Democrats. Young Shively is one of the ablest ot his party in the House, bnt after serving four terms he declined a re nomination, and turned his seat over to an other South Bend citizen. His example is rare and worthy of emulation in the field oi national politics. "I have been through the mill," he sa'd, anu nave naa enougn. une experience in trying to distribute Federal patronage sat isfied me, and I am content to give the glory to another. I was a Crisp man, and I think the country and' the members are well pleased with him. I expect to see him re-elected Speaker without opposition from his party. I haven't heard much Cabinet gossip, and I take but little stock in what I hear. These people who think they know Mr. Cleveland's mind don't know it all. The Indiana Democrats feel that they ought to be represented, and I believe that ex Governor Gray will be tendered a port folia Shively Favors an Extra Session. "As for the extra session, I will advocate the calling of a short term for the appoint ment of the more important committees, particularly the Ways and Means and financial committees. X think the Wavs and Means Committee should sit durincr the summer, and after learning what the people want frame a iensible and fair tariff bill to be presented early next December. In this way no time would be lost, and there would be no hasty action. 'This is the danger to be avoided." Congressman Hurd, of Missouri, is one of the rabid Southern Democrats. He was re elected for the fifth time, and is beginning to think that he owns his district He is red-hot for an extra session to wipe off" the statute books "the robber tariff law," as he calls it. He is rather a talkative citizen, and claims tbe result of tho election calls for radical measures. Northern Democrats are very much afraid that the fiery Southern 'members will throw away the fruits of the big victory by insist ing on Texan free trade, and they are look ing to Cleveland to hold them in line.

The Citizens' Industrial Alliance Getting a Firm Foothold Workmen Taking Hold ' of the Movement With Earnestness They Want Reform In City Government. A branch ot the Citizens' Industrial Alliance was formed last night in Alle gheny. The meeting ior the purpose was held in Schondelmyer's Hall, No. 68 Ohio street It'was called by .the officers of tho Industrial Alliance and was conducted by Charles V. Arbogast, President About CO were present President Arbogast made a lengthy ad dress, in which' he explained the objects and proposed workings of the Alliance. He said that it is the intention to organize branches in every district in the county in order to secure good, honest and efficient government The Alllanee had been formed to oust the county officers, but it had be come so strong that they felt they must do something in the municipal election. As a resuit they have started to organize politi cal clubs over the cities. John Frey compared the local condition of political aflairs with conditions out West which resulted in the landslide for the ruling party. llev. William Kobertscn spoke on the rights of working men. He urged them to organize for the purpose of righting all the wrongs of society as far as possible. A. M. Swartz, of the Building Trades Council, urged them to organize, find out the people coming before them for office and select good men. M. Pv Carrick explained that this reform movement did not resemBle others and could not be sold out by the leaders. At the conclusion of the addresses a number signed the roll of tbe branch or ganization. It will meet, effect a perma nent organization and elect a delegate to the general organization. FIGUBING ON CANDIDATES. Slayor and Controller Nominees Not Tet Decided Upon. About the only development in .connec tion with the Mayoralty contest yesterday was that the politicians as a rule are not in favor of Captain Batchelor's candidaoy. Major Montooth is vastly more popular among those who are dissatisfied with Dr. McCandless and there was more talk about him downtown last night than for several days. Dr. McCandless has spent the past two davs at the bedside of his mother who is very ill. For the time being he is not doing anything in a political way, devoting his time to his aged parent whose wishes, he cays, subordinate everything else in the world as far as he is concerned. His friends, however, say they are looking after the doctor's boom and claim it will he in first class shape on January L Mngistrate McKenna is as vigorous as ever after the Democratic nomination and claims he will win it easily. Captain Kerr' delegates have all been set np, it is said, and while the Captain is not talking him self his friends talk confidently of his nomi nation. Owing to Controller Morrow's absence from the city there'is little being said about his renomination. Tbe Democrats are dis cussing Stephen C. McCandless as their nominee for Controller, but it is claimed by one faction that McCandless would not accept the place, and that the boom for him is intended only to keep Mayor Gourley out of the race. The talk of the Mayor's candidacy on a citizens' ticket is still talked of notwithstanding his declaration not to be a candidate if Controller Morrow is re nominated. Under the Baker ballot law he will have plenty oi time after the Be publican nominations arc made to decide what course he will pursue. A P0SITIV.B LINE DBAWN. Eov. Dr. Hodges Tells Why Women Shonld Bo AllWed to Vote. The Woman's State Equal Suffrage League held its regular monthly meeting in the Carnegie Library building in Alle gheny last night In tbe absence of the President, Dr. McMillen, the Bev. Dr. Sproul acted as Chairman. Letters of en couragement to the league were read from Judge Agnew, ex-State Senator Harlan, John F. Dravo and the Bev. George Hodges, pastor of the Calvary Church, of the East End. Bev. Hodges' letter was short and written in his usual trenchant style. Xn it he placed himself on record in the most emphatic language as believ ing in the justice and wisdom of giving women the right to vote, say ing among other things that it is an ex ceedingly inconsistent thing to allow every male out of jail, rascal or ignoramus, to vote, while female teachers, graduates oi colleges, and other well educated and re cnpntnhln women have not the anmn privilege. He also said that he believed women to be the best crlterians among us and often times the most intelligent vShort addresseswere made by Dr. Sproul, Andrew Price, Miss Matilda Hindman and J. B. Sharp, in which they spoke encour agingly ot tbe progress the league was making in this and other sections of the State. A resolution was passed authorizing the President to appoint a competent person to canvass the State and organize branch leagues. TEE SYNDICATE VICT0BI0US In the Bandall Club Election, Winning All the Contests but Four. The official count of the Bandall Club vote was not completed until 6 o'clock yes terday morning. The syndicate had called a meeting of the club at 3 in the morning and herd a quorum until the vote was an nounced when, to avoid a possibility of a march being stolen on them, they passed on' tbe election officially. The syndicate elected all their candidates but one Vice President and three directors. The antis captured these by cumulative voting. The antis are very sore over the result and talk on con testing the matter in court on the ground that some of the syndicate candidates were not legallv nominated. The official vote was as follows: President S. A. Duncan, 132; George S. Flomlnsr, 2J2. Vice President O. K. Gardner, 324: Joseph C. Cuneo, 262; Charles B. Scott, 210; F. J. atanley. 216.

Cherokees Will Besist the evening of tbe fctrlp to Settlers.. DISSATISFACTION OYER HEED LAWS O. Walter Battice, Secretary of the Sax Fox tribe of Indians in the Territory, was a passenger for Washington last evening. He was intrusted with a Government mis sion of which he declined to speak. He was a bright young man, having been educated at Hampton and Bridgeport His father-in-law is Mahkosahtoe, the principal chief of tbe tribe. Battice is a great be liever in education for the reds, and says the Government system of schools Is good. His tribe will open a new schoolhouse next week that cost ?13,00Q. Tha Secretary de nied that tbe young bucks when educated, in the East become blanketed Indians as soon as their elothes wear out They may do this in isolated cases, but it is not the general rule. "The opening ot the Cherokee strip in the spring," he continued, "will cause a great deal ot trouble and some bloodshed. The Indians realize that it is only a ques tion of time until all their reservations will be thrown open to settlers, but they feel that they are not ready for it The opening of the Oklahoma country resulted in con siderable dissatisfaction, and the Indians feel sore. The Cherokees are the most intelligent of the tribes in the Territory. They are practically civilized, and through frequent intermarriages have become two-thirds white. They won't see their lands taken away from them without a struggle, and their threats of trouble are not mere idle boasts. Another thing that made the Indians tired were the new herd laws. They were 'intended' to take advan tage of our people. The regulations lim ited our pasture lands, and, the laws went into effect so soon that it was impossible ior tbe reds to collect their cattle and ponies that were beyond the lines. These were gobbled up by the ranchers, aud in many cases ponies were ransomed for more than they were worth. The fines were onerous, and lots of Indians couldn't pay them and lost their stoct. ; "As soon as I heard that trouble was brewing among tbe Cbeyennes and Arrapa hoes on account of the Government schools, I paid them a Visit to see what ,1 could do to persuade them not to fight When I went into tbe schools and saw the food in tended for tbe children, my stomach re volted, and X did not blame the people for refusing to send their sons and daughters to the schools. The buildings were filthy, and the grains, dried fruits, eta, lull of crawling vermin. The stuff bad decayed years ago and was not fit for even savages to eat The trouble is that the food is bought by the agents in Wash ington, and X don't believe they know how bad it is. In the Eastern schools the super intendents buy their supplies ana the boarding is all that could be desired. Un less it is remedied the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes can be expected to go ou the. warpath." ) General Meigs, the Commissary General of tbe United States army, was on the limited last evening going to Chicago. He said he had nothing to do with feeding the Indians, and all be knew of dissatisfaction among some of tbe tribes was what he learned from the newspapers.

An 80-page pamphlet will tell you why if you have time to read it. Get-this pamphlet in our Men's De partment. It will tell you at length what we must tell in brief. UNDERWEAR THAT DOESN'T SHRINK because the frame work is cotton. The unspun wool fibres are drawn through cotton meshes, forming a soft non-irritable inner surface totally different from any other underwear. UNDERWEAR THAT PRE SERVES THE NORMAL TEM PERATURE OF THE BODY because of the softness of the wool, which is perfectly porous and car ries the moisture quickly to tho cotton outer surface, where it has no influence upon the body what ever. The body cannot be chilled in passing from a warm to a cold atmosphere if clothed in this un derwear. This is the name of this wonderful underwear, and, remember, if anyone ejse in this city tells you they can sell you this underwear they simply don't tell the truth. Jaros Underwear. For Men, Women and Children, In Combination Suits and in Shirts and Drawers, in Winter and in Sum mer Weight. Jaros Underwear protects against the heat of the equator as well as against the cold of the north. Jaros Underwear is indorsed alike by Missionaries in Africa and by Ex plorers in the Arctic Region. Jaros Underwear is superior to all pther makej for those wbo taxe ' yJoIentTexercise or who byoccupa- -tion are exposed to excessive heat or excessive "cold, or are obliged to make sudden and frequent changes from warm to cold atmosphere. Jaros Underwear is indorsed by the chief executive officers of some of the leading Athletic Associations cf the country.

And besides all this if it wasn't good we wouldn't indorse it ourselves. After careful examination we are con vinced that the Jaros Underwear is the best Underwear made that claims peculiar hjfgienic qualities. And it combines Comfort and Sight liness and Fineness of Finish to a degree not found in any other so called Sanitary Underwear. And in spite of its unquestionable superiority the Jaros Underwear ia not extravagant in price. It is of course comparatively new to many persons in this city, but we will make it known to everybody who wears Underwear, and we are confi dent of its being favorably received wherever given a trial. We want everybody to come and examine the goods for themselves. Meantime you can have pamphlets and cata loeues for the askinsr, which will tell you why tbe makers and many others believe the JAROS SANITARY UNDERWEAR T THE BEST IN THE WORLD.T r JOS.HORNE&CO.'S, PENN AVENUE STORES. - opent P.
