Plate Glass Improvements.
i
A meeting of the stockholders of
the Plate Glass Works was held at 1
the works, on Tuesday, for the pur
pose of considering the proposed im
provements, and it was decided ,to
adopt the new, patent, oven and build
some of them, and also to run a six
inch line of pipe to the gas well on \
the George Frederick farm in Summit ,
Twp , which the company has pur
chased. These with the new furnaces
and new buildings now in progress
will cost the company from fifty to
sixty thousand dollars. Mr. 11. J.
Klingler. the President of the com
pany takes an active part in the man
agement of the works,and Mr. Brock
man, the Superintendent, and Mr.
Wheeler, the glass examiner, are
thorough going glass men.
Pretty Flowers.
Mr. U. A. Heck's
or Pontederia is blooming, and cover
ed, as it is, by the immense leaves
of the Nelumbium, another water
lily, makes as charming a picture as
one could wish to see. The flowers
of the Pontederia are of a light pur
ple color, with a blue and yellow
Bpot, and are very pretty. lie ex
pects his big water-lily to bloom next
month. This cultivation of water
lilies is something new in Butler,and
they require more care, trouble aud
expense than land flowers, but a
lover of the beautiful in nature is well
repaid by the result.
Council Meeting.
At the meeting of the Council
Tuesday evening the resignation of
Mr, John McQ. Smith was accepted
as Street Commissioner and the
Street Committee authorized to em

i£uistion complained of people tlrain
iog into bis allev, and Mr. Shultz of

The Railroad Survey.
What that railroad survey through
the northern part of Butler means is
yet a mystery. 11. P. Scott, Esq
asserts positively that neither the P.
&W. nor the Shenango companies
bad anything to do with it. Mr.
Green, the P. R. 11. ageut here knew
nothing of it, and Mr. Chas. Duffy
r ridiculed the account in the Pittsburg
Gazette, so which company is doing
it remains to be seen.
For Sale.

> Borough limits can be purchased very
i cheap at present. Information of
same can be had at CITIZEN office,

panies on the grounds, aD d had the

Oil Field Notes.
The Ad. Klingensmith well on the
Widow Bulford farm in Penn Twp ,
was completed last week, and is said
to be good for 20 barrels a day.
The Dan. Iman well on the Isaac
Andrew farm in Penn Twp , was also
completed and is reported to be dry.
Butchers No. 2 ia tho Bakerstown
field is dry, and 13 new wells are
drilling in that field.
Arters, Glatzau and Waldron
struck a big gasser on the Blaine farm
near McGrath's Mills in Centre Twp.
The gas was in the third sand, ant 1 >
the Whitmire field sand was dry.
Jack White got a good well in the
"100 foot" on Powell Ash's farm in
Forward Twp.
Matthews & Liggett have
a well on the Sarver farm in Buffalo I
Twp., a mile or two east of Saryers
Station.
Coalstalk No. 3 on tho Whitmire
farm is doing 75 barrels a day, and is
the beßt well in that field.
Father (.Jriilter & Co. got a good
well on tho Hagerty farm in Donegal
Twp., said to be doing 100 barrels.
The Hospital Matter.
The committee appointed to look
up a site for the proposed Miners'
Hospital have already secured the re
fusal of several eligible locations, and
feel confident of the Hospital being
located here.
Grove City is the only other town
that will probably come into compe
tition with u?, and Butler has every
advantage over it as regards gas and j
water, and railroad communication
with the counties of the district to
the East of us. The establishment is
oae worth securing, if possible, as it
would mean another nice building for
the town, and a market to supply the
patients and employees. The law re
quires the necessary ground—three
or four acres—to be donated, and if
the Commission concludes to locate
the Hospital in Butler, the peoplo of
the town, or at least those who will
be benefitted by the location of the
hospital here, should contribute the
funds necessary for the purchase of
the property.
The Committee will meet again
next Saturday evening, at 8 p. m., at
Dr. Neyman's otlic-j, and all are re
q tested to attend.
A Good Entertainment.
The Working Association of tho
English Lutheran Cburch of Butler
gave a pleasaut entertainment in the
church room last Thursday evening,
at which Ilev. George Tit/ell, of Par
ker, gave an interesting biography of
Rev. Christian Gottlieb Schweitzer
barth, the celebrated Lutheran minis
ter who came to this country in the
early years of the century, while yet
a young man, and established many
of the Lutheran churches in this
county. He lived for many years in
Zelienople and died there. R(/v.
Titzell is a brother of Dr. Waltor
Titzell of Butler.
At the entertainment, also, Miss
Etta Miller sang a solo, Mr. Hart
Graham declaimed "The Dying Sol
dier" and did unusually well, and Mr.
Will Krug recited "Rain after
Drouth" in a very pleasing manner.

If you desire to do Jhe best work f
aud command the highest position in
your culling, it would be u .■!! for you
'to pay close attvnhon to the facts
' connected with your business.
Never before have your customers
been .so exacting or hard to please as i
they have been during the past sea
| sou and next season the case will be
| worse, instead of better.
This is caused by a liiort.- general
| intelligence aud broader educatiou on
i the part ot the people, and by a lack
iot corresponding progress upon the ,
! part of the dre'ssmaLgrs.
Requesting you to carefully read !
the following, we are, very resyeciful-
PITTOCK LA VERY,
Gen. Agents.
Dressmaking in the Future.
From the X:.i .nal I'uion]
All arts or trades arc rapidly chang
ing and improving under the careful j
painstaking ideas of this practical
age. Yet there is one art that has j
failed to advance in a general v.ay |
with the others. We ret'er to the art ;
of dressmaking, and especially of •
dress cutting.
But few people realize the import-1
ance of the above statement; yet
within the next few years changes iu
ideas aad opinions will force a tidal
wave over this country that will
swamp everything before it. Like
all radical changes there are many
who will Gppose it, yet their opposi
tion will be carried away with a
strength and rush that will make it ap
pear as if there was no opposition,while
others will be wise enough to see the
tide that leads to fortune, and quick
enough to take it at its llow.
A few years ago a lady thai: waut6d
to be well dressed patronized French
dl%Bsmakers, not through force of
fashion, but for the best reasons, the
English and American dressmakers
were not able to produce the lit and
style as were French dressmakers.
This was on aceount of lack oi sys
tematic methods used in th-ir work.
VVe know full well that many will
take issue with us upon this question,
yet an examination of the facts will
warrant the statement here made and
would e?eu admit of stronger argu
ment.
This question should not be ignor
ed by auy and should especially
be heeded by the young ladies aud j
dressmakers of America.
Ideas are constantly changing aud j
every day brings out new styles and ,
combinations which must be under
stood ia order to satisfy, and no dress
maker is t of doing the work
demanded of her and for which cus
tomers pay unless she keeps up with
these changes.
Is the nverage dressmaker abb to
meet the demands brought to her by
her best customers at this time? No,
she is not; and why not? In order
to answer this question intelligently
it is necessary to examine the plan of
training the young dres makers, and
then see the methods afterwards fol
lowed, The first thing that occurs, a
young woman concludes she wants
to work at the trade, and goes and
sews three or four months with some
one who is conducting the business.
She is taught but very little of any
thing but the plain sewing nud but
tonhole making, seeing but little of i
the cutting and basting of the dress
es that are made iu the establishments.
She is taught nothing of scientific
principles, not even knowing such ;
things exist, aud as to the beauty of n
outline in form aud geometric propor- ,
tion of lines, she has never heard of ,
such a thing and if her teacher knows
anything more about it thau she does
herself, it is a rare occurence.
So one, after sober reflection, will ;
say that the trainiug thus received is (
beneficial to any great degree, and
iti most cases everything done has n
tendency to unfiit tho worker for good
practical work. About the last week j
they are engaged in their apprentice
ship, they are given a few lessons in
some antiquated system, which in its
day of glory bad neither (it nor style
iu its catalogue of good qualities.
With this kind of training or none
at ail, the dressmaker sticks out
her shingle and goes to work as a
"first-class" dressmaker. Now, the
wonder is not that they fail iu turn
ing out good work, but that they
can do anything.
There are a few worthy exceptions
that goto prove the rule, and all such
deserve great praise when the trials
they must have encountered are con
sidered.
The French dressmaker learned
some time ago the need of a radical
change in such methods, aud a few
enterprising far-sighted men went to
work to remove tho evil in their own
case, and did so to such an extent
that they were able to produce sty
lish, good fitting dresses upon scien
tific principles of cutting and making.
The results were that they had more
than they could do at fabulous prices.
The knowledge of such work having
been done extended over England aud
America, bearing with it a desire on
the part of the ladies ♦<» have their J
dressmakers produce for them the
same kind of work. This demand
aroused a spirit of emulation upon
the part of the best city dressmakers
in both countries with a result that
is beneficial and is helpMg to forward j
the revolution above referred to. But j
the knowledge upon the part of the i
people that there was something
better among the possibilities has led
to this uprising, until it has become
a universal feeling on the part of the
people. "
This demand must be gratified, and
woe unto the dressmaker who tries to ]
dam up such a torrent, and great pro
fit will be gained by those who are
shrewd enough to get in the grand
procession.
It would be profitable to know
the cause of such a change in public
sentiment, but it is often difficult to | j
understand why a certain wave of sen- j
timent passe.i over a country at a cer- '
tain time, yet it is a known fact that '
such things often do occur, but the 1
greatest, factor at work in this case
is the effort being put forth by the '
National Garment Cutter Company
and to that company is due great
cre'Jit.
Messrs. I'ittock & Lavery, repre
senting the company iu the State of
Pennsylvania, have opened instruc
tion rooms on Main street; where
they will instruct all desiring it in the
art of cutting by the most approved
methods (
Those desiring to lead in their profession I
should certainly see these gentlemen ami in
vestigate for themselves. <
They come among us highly recommend
ed by press and people, and will call upin
you at your place of business or homes.
They have opened an ollice over lien no
