ODD INDUSTRIES IN PITTS
BURG.
Alnest every body knows that the
furnaces and lactones of Pittsburg and
Tioini'y turn out more steel, iron and
glass than those ot any other city in the
county; and that itsooaltrade is immense,
but Pitte'.'irg has other industries of which
little is known by the world in general.
Some of these are described in an article
by Bion H. Butler in the Pittsburg Times
of last Friday, as follows:
In the manufacture of cork goods Pitts
burg ranks first. The railroads about once
» week bring in a train load of cork bark
ftnd other supplies to the cork works, and
carry away as much as they bring worked
*p into finished product. The city can
make about 20,000,000 oorks a week, be
sides nearly 100,000 co-k soles in the same
space of time, In addition a great many
special articles are made of cork. Bicycle
handles are a Btaple and regular produot.
So are corset stays. Cork enters into a
multitude of speoial things that are made
ftt the Pittsburg cork faotories, but noth
that is more novel than the pair ot shoes
fitted up by one of the city cork factories
for a young man short instature. The
fellow had a tall girt, and he was looking
forward to a danoe to which he had en -
gaged to take her. In order that his
•tatui* might not show off te a disadvan
tage he obtained a pair of shoes much too
large, and by having them fitted at the
faoiury with all the oork they would hold,
admit his feet, he succeeded in get
ting enough under his feet to raise him
two in height. The manufacture
ol cor* in PitWburg employs 1,200 to 1,500
The orude material is brought
froi»Ss»m A&d Portugal. Some experi
ment., are on foot looking to the produc
tion of the cork tree in America. As it
takes the tree about 30 years to yield bark
jviok enough for commercial uses, tho
orop will not bo a large one.
At ihe foot of Locust street, in Alle
cheny city, is an establishment that has
little in .common with the industries
thought to be so tzpioal of Pittsburg. It
it tin. iarire pianl ol the Pittsburg Brass
onrrcany an institution that started in
188G in t'ffo rooms of the Eag'e cotton mill
building near the Sixth street bridge.
Three ye*-" ago the magnificent big struc
ture on Locu«t street was erected and it
now makes a staple article—the Pittsburg
lamp This in itself is unique in its suc
cess; as it has penetrated the globe as tar
•a Calcutta and the West coast of Africa.
But the company makes a line of onyx
tables that is more interesting. It is in
teresting also to kaow that the output of
the f»i.tor> is the largest "t any in Amer
ioa, averaging 1.000 onyx-topped brass
tallies every day. ,
High priced workmen design the vari
ous styles of tables, and the work is done,
from-ihe casting of the iron and brass to
the fini'hicg in gold, plate, in the big
building. One exception to the finished
work is in the grinding of the onyx. Onyx
panv, api'roaching the cornelian in haes.
TLd supply ased at the Allegheny factory
is bronjrht. from Mexico. Prom the City
of Mexw 'tt goes to New York, whence
the Pittsburg Brass company send their
•uppi/ to Buffalo to be polished and ground
to shape. Ho faoilties exist in Pittsburg
to cat and polish it cheaply enough for
purposes. The daily output
of the TPittaLurg company is close to 3,000
pieces a day in tables and lamps, of which
inyx constitutes the column of the lamps
and the fop of the tables. The tables s«ll
in the markets of the world at prices rang
ing frcm $4 to SSO. Cabinets on a more
elaborate style than the tables ran in price
u high as 8100.
Onyx as it is found in Mexico is in small
pockets, New deposits have to be sought
eontinuallr to keep up the supply. Some
times .. bice block will be found trom
whiih can be cut pieces that will bo worth
eight or ten dollars for a pieoe eight inches
square In the same block will be other
pieces worth not a fourth that much and
some that is absolutely valueless. TJO
coloring and texts re have all to do with
the value. The bigh-priced pieces go in
to expensive tables carefully designed and
worked out by hand and heavily plated
Trith gold. The cheaper kinds are used in
tables made of light iron castings and
plated with brass. But even the cheapest
are handsome.
Pittsburg import from Fuboea(an
island of the Aegean sea, east of Greece)
annually the.material to f nrnish gas for
more than i 00,000,000 glasses of soda
water, and scarcely a hamlet from Penn
sylvania to the rocky mountains goes
through the summer without more or less
ot tud g'<iß manufactured by the Liquid
Carbonic Aoid Manufacturing company,
■srbioh has a faotory in Bonvenue, in the
OuJ. The company has factories al
so in St. Louis. Chicago, Milwaukee, and
the fou. factories supply the bulk
oi the soda water gas made in the United
Btau>'. concerns exist, but they
aro lev in number, and their business is
l\icitod on upai6>l with what is done by
the operating in Pittsburg.
The material imported from Greece is
oakiued Grecian magnesite, the purest
suaroe in the world of carbonic acid gag
It is brought over by the Pittsburg oom
f any a »h. t i load at a time. After the gas
is driven out the by-product is sold to the
.pouhearlh steel makers, a* il withstands
the extreme of the heat better than any
thing elss they can obtain.

OsK of the Midway attractions of the
Atlanta Exposition will be an internat
ional beauty show, in which represen
tative types of tern de beauty from vari
ous of the world will be on

The l»«t Legislature enacted a law which
•a/8 thai "the pay of the judges and in
spec'ors at all elections hereafter held
•ban be three dollars and fifty cents each
at eaoh election no held without regard to
time, and the pay of the several clerks to

according to thift law, the election boards

A Country of Homes.
"The greatest thin* tor a country," says
a philosopher, "is for ail of its citizens to
hare a home and in this respect oar own
country is to bo regarded as the greatest
in the world. Our people hare what may be
called the fireside instinct in a larger de
gree than those of aay other nation. They
are pre-eminently home-makers, and the
proportion of them who own homes is in
excess of that known elsewhere. The his
tory of the country from the first is the
story of a constant struggle for the own
ership of land and multiplication of family
heanli-stones. This purpose has been the
controlling one in the work of subduing the
wilderness and extending the sway of civil
ization between the Atlantic'and the Pa
cific. The log cabins of the earliest set
tlers represented the inspiration which was
to insure the development of our unpre
cedented resources and the winning of a
surpassing order of prosperity. Where,
ever American courage, industry and forti
tude have been manifested, there have
homes been established, and the domestic
virtues nourished and encouraged. It is
true, that patriotism of the best sort is al
ways found where such conditions exist.
Those who are part proprietors of a coun
try are sure to love it, and to hasten to its
defense in a time of peril, as has been so
grandly illustrated in our own o ase.
There is no other one thing to which we
are indebted for otir national welfare and
progress more than the homestead laws.
That great measure of practical beneficence
gave more homes to homeless people than
all the rest of the influences at work in
that direction during all the preceeding
history of the country. It provided an
opportunity for which tens of thousands
were longing ; it helped the poor and hard
working by enabling them to help them
selves. Wo are too apt to forge*, that in
the absence of this incentive and assist
ance, the settlement ol the new West
would have been indefinitely postponed.
It was the homostead law above every
thing else that caused immigration to go
beyond the Mississippi and the Missouri,
and to fill the waste places with produc
tiveness and all the means of comfort and
enjoyment. The Government was an im
mense gainer by the policy which thus in
creased the sources of its prosperity and
strengthened the dev®tion of the people to
its principles and institutions. A vast ad
dition was made to the homes of the coun
try in a comparatively short time, and
with the homes came churches, schools,
newspapers, railroads, and all the other
advantages that have contributed so much
to our aggregate happiness and greatness.
The historians of the future will not fail
to dwell upon the importance of this move
ment, and to praise the wisdom which
made it possible.
The New National Park.
Since Thursday of l*st week the Govern
ment of the United States has been in full
possession of the Chickamauga and Chat
tanooga field. The nation has another
public park, which, while it may not be
as grand from a scenic point of view as
that of the Yellowstone, yet it will be far
dearer to the hearts of the people. Tho
park dedicated to the nation that day was
drenched with blood in 1863, The unique
feature of the dedication was the faot that
men who struggled and fought against
each other »t Chickamauga thirty-two
years ago, met again as brothers, and seal
ed a compact by which the last vestige
venom caused by the civil war was blot
ted ont.
Within the limits of this grand historic
place of pleasure for the nation to-day
were upwards of 75,000 people. Of Presi
dent Cleveland's cabinet there were pres
ent, Attorney-General llarman, Secreta-y
of the Navy Herbert, Secretary of the In
terior Smith and Postma3»er-General Wil
son. There were a baker's dozen of Gov
j I trt rtJntrWH
part'in'tHe conflict between the
North and South.
The ceremonies took place at Snodgraas
hill, whose top and side for a mile or mor9
were so thickly covered with dead thirty
two years ago that, as the survivors say,
one could walk all over it from crest to
base stepping from one prostrate body to
another.
Hours bef jre the exercises began the
battlefield was alive with people who had
come to attend the dedication. The first
event of the day was a display of arms by
Battery F. Fourth U. S. artillery. Then
there was a battalion regimental drill
showing the new tactics and field move
ments under command of C«l. Polland.
These exercises at arms were of great in
terest to the veterans, to the "Kebs"
and "Tanks," though the old fellows ex
pressed the belief that such taotics would
have fallen as timothy before a mower if
plaoed against those adopted during the
battle ot Chickamauga.
Vice-President A. E. Stevenson presid
ed over the dedicatory exercises, lie was
introduced by Gen, John S. Fallerton,
chairman of the Chiokamauga and Chatta
nooga National park. Spaeches were also
made by Gens. Palmer, Gordon and Long
street; and that night in the big tent by
Gens. Howard, Wheeler and Warren.
The Stewarts.
Held a reunion at the house of Mrs. Per
melia Davidson in Centie twp, on Sept. 10
in honor of her mother, familiarly known
as "Aunt Jaue Motheraf." The last sur
viving member of a family of seven broth
ers and six sisters—children of Samuel
Stewart who settled in or near Portersville
and who died about seventy years ago.
Aunt Jane having passed her 75th mile
stone lately, the friends when they heard
of the day appointed, joined by common
consent in doing her honor, considering
with the uncertainty o{ lite that an op
portunity might never occur to do so again.
llence there was a general outpouring
of the Stewarts from Allegheny, Lawrence
and Butler counties. It would be very
hard to find a more kind or hospitable
home for such an occasion than that of
Mrs. Davidson. Everybody was welcome
and the freedom of the whole house and
its contents wore in a manner thrown open
for the comfort and entertainment of the
friends and relations.
Alter partaking sumptiously ol the good
things provided, Samuel L Houston ol
Ko6e Point, Lawrence Co. was called to
the chair and your scribe made Sec'y.
A. G. Stewart was called on for a speech
and responded say.ng some very good
thing", af'er which Rev. McClelland of
Prospect made a very tine address, com
mending these social gatherings as helpful
and necessary to the wel'-buing ol society.
We thought h : s re.uarks very appropriate.
T. T Stewart was called on but did not re
spond; Alvin M. Stewart of New Castle
made a short speech as did also S. Walker
Stewart ot Butler, Mr» Arvilla Harrop ol
Brnddock and Mrs. Anna Houston of Kose
Point.
Letters of regret were sent by Jndge
Frew Stewart <>t Washington I). C., anil
James H. English ol Nortb Keuova 0.
The feeling was evidently general to honor
Auat Jane and the expressions were not
only a hearty hand hhake and Godbless
y< u. but also some substanrial pre-ents,
~nd it seemed proper and right, as it not
only cheered and made glad the heart of
this dear old aunty, hut those that gave
their ami cheer added to their
own enjoyment by Laving done their duty
in honoring her. Thus it is l>y doing our
duties cheerfully und heartily as we have
opuortunity, our path through life is made
more plain and pleasant, and right here
let me emphasize,
"Don't forget the old folks
Love them more and mure
A* they turn their longing eyes
Toward the Golden Shore."
This communication might bo made
mnch longer by reciting who some ol the
prominent men and women were who
made up these families of Stewarts, some
V.eing present, but their history is written
and being written, and I«-t us seek to make
it still better by living as we have light
and Knowledge. Rev. McClelland closed
with au appropriate prayer

MUDDYCREEK MUSINGS.
It kind of makes a fellow feel tired to
see almost every township and village in
the county represented in your news items
by some contributor except Mnddy Creek.
Why is it I can hardly tell; there is no
lack of ability—we have men learned in
tho law, Doctors, Ministers and those th.it
dispense even handened justice, any, or
all, might assist, but here they sit. Geu
tlemeu have you no friendly criticisms or
something to offer whereby your fellow
man may be benefitted. We know that
we are pretiy well on the road to perb-e

lacking, and some things done and doiug
that should not bo tolerated.
For instance in our immediate locality
known as "Egypt" we have a man the two
first letters of bis name are Calvin Mc-
Clymonds who will get up at unseasonable
hours in the morning and whoop aud
hurrah at Ins Jerseys against the peace aud
dignity of the neighborhood, besides this
he has at times kept up a cannonading
late in the evening. This is inexcusable
also there has bf)en no Prohibition victorias
or anything ot that sort.
These things when all summed up
amount to a considerable, and the tendencr
is that it will lead to cuss words Iroin his
near neighbors such as Robert Oliver and
Sam Jones two very peaceable men. It
should be stopped. I tuinlc gentlemoa it
would be better to get out an injunction
restraining him from converting a part of
the night into day for his osvn benefit
when it can bo clearly shown that it is
against the morals ol this locality. If Iha
court wont grant us a remedy we wiil see
that he is preseateil to thfl grand jury and
allow them to wrestle with him. We
have boldness to say this must be stopped
as reforms seem to be in order. Let the
gentleman take notice. I>.

PETERSVILLE POINTS,
Saturday Sept. 12 was a banner day for
the Sabbath schools on Prospect charge
circuit. For some time the members of
these schools have been planning for a
picnic and Saturday was the day set for it,
and was to be held in John Hose's woods
near Petersville. At an early hour the
Prospect delegation numbering 40 reached
the £rove followed by the schools of Ren
friew numbering 115, and last cauie the
gaily decorated wagons with the scholars
from Phillips City numbering UG.
A large number of the members and
friends of the Petersville school was pres
ent, with a number of the White Oak
Springs school to welcome the visitors. A
table was soon spread by the committee
with all the good things that could come
from the Butler county kitchens, aud after
all had enjoyed the bountiful dinner, they
gathered about the organ aud mado the
woods ring witb the songs of praise. A fter
this Kev. Grimes of the U. P. church and
ifr. Quigley, of Phillips City addressed tho
schools. The young people then engaged
themselves in running foot races, playing
ball and in social talk, and wheu the time
came to go home, all agreed that they
would not soon forget the Sabbath school
picnic held near Petersville.
Key. Cutter attends conlereuce this week
