OFER THIRTY MEN SAID TO HATE DIED ALadr, Package or sboes. J.T. S3 Eight hundred needy little ones. A city overflowing with peace, prosperity and good things, yet that many helpless Home stead mites may beg and importune Santa Clans in rain unless the kindly give of their plenty to those that lack. "With these holidays bringing that day of peace and cood will to men, a pitifnl ap peal comes from Homestead, telling of what is needed there to complete the happiness of many little ones who have been called upon to face a bitter season of want, with not one ray of light to illumine a Christmas Day that the rest of tbe world looks for ward to with anticipations of pleasure and thanksgiving certain to be realized. The plea of The Dispatch for a mite from those blessed with plenty is meeting with prompt and generous response, but not enough money has yet been contrib uted to make all these children happy. Auditwonldbeafailure were even one child to be disappointed and all the rest supplied. These children are in need of many things, bat especially are they in need of what goes to brighten that annual event looked ford to with anticipation, and backward to with pleasure a Merry Christmas. An Eagerly Looked-For Event. The distribution of toys and other little pleasures that go far toward making a child's life happy will take place at Homestead Saturday afternoon next, and a few hundred more dollars are required to make the occa sion what it should be. There are many who have and are willing to give, and no op portunity has ever been offered where snch a little will go such a great way, and for every dollar given a thousand will be re ceived in return in smiles, gratitude and perhaps tears of joy from the many little ones. The "Washington Post, merely by repub lishing the pathetic letters which appeared in The Dispatch, has started a similar fnnd which has met with some response. It devolves, however, upon Pittsburg to take care of her own. The following letter was forwarded to The DisrATCH by the Superintendent of the Second ward school, Homestead: Superintendent of Second Ward School, Home stead, Pa, Dear Sie This afternoon I read In The Pittsburg Dispatch of December 14 an arti cle from "Chick" in which the writer de scribes a Tisit to your school, and copies specimens of letters written by the children to Santa Claus asking for needed clothing at Christmas time. I write to you to know more of tbe particulars and in what form - help is to be given. Promise of a Generous Gift. The time is very snort In whloh to wotTE, and our citv has been canvassed and recan vassed in the interests or other worthy ob jects, yet I hope to send you a mtte from those who love children and delight in their joy, especially at the glad Christmas time. I have thought that to send a check for a certain amount and a box of such things as seem most needed mleut be best sent to vou. as ou can learn the needs of each and sup ply them to the best advantage. Would a box of clotlilnz new and old together be ac ceptable, and to whom (ir acceptable) shall it lie sent? I only wish this had come tome sooner, but 1 will do all I can in the few days left us. If you can have an answer reach me by Saturday I could announce the result to our little ciicle of Christian scientists on fcnnday mornlnir and get them to help me solicit. Then if later in tbe week following j on can send more definite information as to individual needs it mizbt help us. I do not promise any lame sum and can only k ork and trust, knowing that, whether great or small, it will do Its good work and make somo little hearts glad that might otherwise be sadly disappointed. Oh, that I had the control of a few hundreds of the money use lessly spent at this time. Our little adopted babv, who came to live with us on the first Uay" of this year, and for whom we were plxnning several pleasant surprises, when told or these little ones, gladly consented for the money to so to those needing It so much worse, and my husband and 1 are too linnpy to have any need ot triftsot love from each other.

Diamond is cutting diamond in the many cases growing out of the Homestead strike. The Perkins Union Detective Agency, of Pittsburg, is employed by the defense and its men and the Pinkertons are coming to gether quite often these days in the most unexpected ways. Gilbert B. Perkins, Superintendent of the agency, is rather uncommunicative on the subject. Yesterday he said: "It (is true we have been doing a little work for the Homesteaders. It consisted chiefly of subpecnaing witnesses. I cannot say that we have entered very deeply into the work. "We are here to do business, of course, and those who have money can se cure our services." For the past ten months there has been a steady and quiet warfare carried on be tween the two agencies. A Perkins man is continually on the track of one of Pinker ton's men and vice versa. Both Bides think that the other does not know of it. If a Perkins man strikes a lead, a detective of the opposition forces gets on to it pretty nearly as soon. Playing King Around the Itosey. Everybody connected with the legal de partment of the Carnegie Company is watched closely, and often after they talk to a stranger a Perkins irmn seeks an inter view with the same individual. Both sides are continually playing tricks on the other bv dropping wrong tips, which cannot be discovered until they are worked out. Hugh F. Dempsey, Robert Beatty. Pat rick Gallagher and J. M. Davidson all had true bills found against them by the grand jury for the poisoning of the non-union men at Homestead. There arc four counts against each man. Two each charging them with felonious assault anil two each for ag gravated assault and battery. Tbe jury based its findings on the injury done to William K. Griffiths. The bill also adds that the defendants were guilty of admin istering poison to many others, the names of whom are unknown. There were only four witnesses before the jury. These were Drs. A. P. Fogteman, W." H. McGeary and A. M. Barton, oi Homestead, and Dr. D. G. Foster, of Craf ton. They told of the number of cases they had attended, and all but Dr. Faster had administered to nearly 200 patients each. A. H. Ames, H. C Prick's stenographer, was before the jury. He was called to identify Gallagher's confession, which was offered as evidence. Gal lagher and Davidson were held in readiness to testify, but they were not needed. A number o'f others were in the waiting-room and it was considerable of a surprise when it was found their evidence was not to be used. The testimony of the physicians is said to have been very strong. Thirty-Two Said to Have Died. It was stated on good authority yesterday that 32 deaths was a verv low estimate for the number ot people who have died from poison. The number of those who hare been sick at Homestead is placed at 2,000. No more arrests are to be made for sev eral days. It was learned yesterday that a number of people would be swooped in within the next ten days. The list holds many surprises, bearing the names of sev eral druggists and physicians. It is also said that several restaurant-keepers will be included, as well as the proprietors of sev eral Homestead saloons. Poisoned beer and whisky it is said have been sold to the non District Attorney Burleigh had a long I conierence witn ur. doorman, oi Home stead, yesterday. Neither gentleman had anything to say about the interview. Coroner McDowell developed nothinc new yesterday. He and his assistants are constantly at work on the cases. He had a long interview with the Court, and a plan was arranged for his work. He does not care to say what was agreed upon at the conference, but gives the impression that he is to sift every supposed case of poison ing to the bottom. A FALSE INTERPRETER. He Gets a Man Into Jail for a Crime of Which He Was Himself Accused Warden McAleese Discovers the Scheme The Grand Jury Acts Promptly. Beta, an Italian, was placed in jail last night on a commitment issued by Alder man McMasters. He is charged with a serious' affense by Winsenza Colon), an Italian also, the lather of Bosanna "Win senza, a-16-year-old girl who lives at Chartiers. Both the father and his daugh ter were released from the jail last week, after a lengthy confinement brought about by Bela, who misrepresented certain facts to a squire at Chartiers. More than two months ago the father went before the 'squire for the purpose of making an information against Bela. The latter kindly volunteered to act as inter, prater, at Coloni could not speak or under stand English. The interpreter so stated the case that Coloni himself was made to appear as the offender, and much to his mystification he was sent to jail, charged with committing a crime against his daugh ter. He was kept in confinement awaiting trial, and two weeks ago was joined by his daughter. The 'squire was notified she was about to leave the vicinity of Chartiers, and fearing she would not appear as a witness at the trial he had her arrested and sent to jail. i She had been there one week when "War den McAleese got an inkling of the true state of affairs and sent tor an interpreter, who soon learned from the girl the story ot how she had been deceived by Bela, who nan Dotn her lather and herself put in jail. When asked if she did not accuse her lather she at once said that Bela was the offender. She was very much surprised to hear her father u as held ft the offense and cried pitifully when she Iearued of it. Superintendent Dorente, of the Anti Cruelty Society, was notified of the circum stances and he becan an investigation. In tbe meantime the cavs of Coloni came be fore the grand jury, and on the presentation of the facts the lather and girl regained their liberty and the bill was ignored. Coloni is 65 years old and his daughter 16. Superintendent Dorente made information against Bela before Alderman McMasters, and he was held for a hearing next Tuesday. DEFINING A BILLET EVANGELIZING ALASKA. Mahoning and Shenango People Kicking Against Local Hates. The Pittsburg, Youngstown and Cleve land freight committees are visiting this city and Wheeling with a view of classify ing billets. On Tuesday they interviewed the managers of Jones & Laughlin, Dil worth, Porter & Co., Keystone Boiling Mill and Duquesne Steel Works. Yester ciav thev SDent in Wheeling and to.dav oi Uthey will go to Youngstown. As usual the iron men in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys have been kicking. They claim that Pittsburg men are ship ping all sorts of manufactured articles as billets, thereby securing a low rate and a big advantage over the valley people. To investigate the complaint and define what is a billet is the object of the tour. The agents have gathered a mass of opinions, none of whicn agree, of course, and when they get through With Youngstown will take tbe subject under advisement and re classify this product The trouble is to distinguish between finished and unfin ished articles. The iudications are that the new classification, it made, will not benefit the local manufacturers. Interesting Statements Made at the Meet ing of the Woman's Home Missionary Society or the Pittsburg and Allegheny Presbyteries The Trials or Mission aries. The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Presby teries held its regular quarterly meeting in the Second Presbyterian Church, on Penn avenue, yesterday. Over 200 delegates, representing 33 societies, were present. Mrs. Coulter, who has spent several months in tbe South visiting the freedmen there, and having during that time visited 18 schools opened bv the society, made an interesting address in which she said that the society's work in tbe South has been very successfully carried on. The Treasur er's report shows an advance of more than $1,000 over the receipts of the pre ceding quarter. Mrs. T. H. Bobinson read a paper on a "Trip to Alaska," which she and her hus band had taken during the past summer. She described in very graphic language the physical features of the country as well as the manners and customs of the people. Mrs. W. C Devore, a teacher for three years in the ' mission school at Sitka, Alaska, told of the struggles of the mis sionaries in that frozen land, and the eager ness with which many ot the natives grasp after the religious light and knowledge as revealed to them by the missionaries. She recited many instances of-Alaskan boys and girls being tnrned from crude savages into bright, intelligent Christian men and women through the efforts of the mission schools, and implored the society to contribute liberally to the fund being raised to carry on these schools.

ONLY & HUM0E, THAT'S ALL, Secretary Lovejoy Denies That Workmen Are to Be Discharged. Some excitement was created among the people at Homestead yesterday over the report that all the men at tbe mills were to be discharged January 1. It was Btated notices to that effect had been posted, and the unemployed men were jubilant Secretary F. T. F. Lovejoy, of the Car negie Company, was seen last night, and said the rumor was silly. The story; he thought, came from the fact that several departments were about closing down lor the annual repairs, thus laying off some of the tonnage men. Only incompetents, he said, had ever been dropped from the pay rolls, and they intended keeping all good men. FINEST STERLING SILVERWARE For Prices Almost as Low as Plated Goods.
