Erie CPs.) Dispatch.l

Erie Ps.l Dispatch.l
A man who many years ago was one
of the best known characters in Erie
county was in the city yesterday,
namely, Dan Rice, the veteran show
man and clown, who for SO many years
has been before the public as a cater
er for its amusement. Dan, as he is
Familiarity known. has probably had as
varied an experience in financial and
other temporal matters as any man
living. Nor have spiritual matters
been entirely neglected. He has time
and again amassed a fortune, which
he as recklessly squandered, but a
truer man to his friends was never
known than Dan Rice, and he would
give his last dollar to accommodate a
friend. The town of Girard owes
much of. its beauty to his lavish gem
erosity. Shortly after the war he had
erected at his own expense a hand
some marble monument to the dead
heroes who fell in defense OF their
country. Standing as it does in the
center of Main street and surrounded
by a neat park, it is the first object
that attracts the attention of new
corners and ELECTS general remarks of
admiration. In addition to this mon
ument Dan erected the handsOmest
private dwelling in Girard aud sur
rounded it with grounds fully in keep
ing with the residence.
A reporter of the Dispatch meeting
the old veteran stopped to ask him
how the world was using him and
found him the same old Dan that he
was in the palmiest days of his pros.
perity, with a joke and hearty laugh
for everything. Dan is now connected
with a show that is known as Dan
Rice's Grand Aggregation of Animal
CuriOsities and Wonderful Colossal
Combination ofCircus Talent" There
is more of the name, but life is too
short to write it all. This circus is
now showing in Erie county, and Dan
took advantage of the opportunity to
run over to his old home in Girard.

Pittsburg POST
Would it not be wise for our Pitts
burg manufacturers to take organized
action to exhibit their products at the
Atlanta Exposition. The New South
promises a great and growing market
for Northern manufactures, and cer-
tainly no interior or coastwise city has
greater natural advantages than Pitts
burg to reach this market. We are a,
the head of a system of water commu-
nication that touches or penetrates
almost every Southern State.
The Exposition is TO continue from
October 5 to the end of December, and
its success is no longer a matter of
doubt OF anxiety. From an originally
designed Southern cotton exhibition
the enterprise has become general in
its industrial scope and international
in its territorial reach. More than
400 entries have already been made,
and the applications are rapidly in
creasing every day. Already it has
been found necessary to double the
space originally contemplated, and
still further extensions will have to be
made. Two English steamships
loaded with machinery will soon be
on their way to this country.
OF course the South's chief exhibit
will be its great staple. But the
Southern display will be varied and
interesting. We are promised among
other things instructive exhibits of
the gold of Georgia, and the useful
minerals of other States, the tropical
fruit and flowers of Florida and the
Gulf States, the canes Of Louisiana,
the marble Of East Tennessee and the
valuable woods OF Georgia and South
ern forests. Visitors in vast numbers
are expected and extensive prepare
tons are making for their accommo-
dalton in the way of new hotels, and
a system for the assignment lof guests
to private families. Remarkably low
rates have been fixed from the prin2
oipal cities of the United States. From
Chicago to Atlanta and return will be
Sl4 and from Cincinnati and return
50. The rate for round trip
from New York will probably be
$18 to f21. The rate from Pittsburg
will be propOrtionally low. Monster
special excursions will be organized
by the transportation committees and
so adjusted that the special crowds
will be distributed over the three
months. After the first months of
the exposition the annual tide of
Florida travel-involving from $4,000
to 100000 people, will set in and be
delayed for few days by the exposi-
ton.

Reeds Gilt Edge Tome prevents maluria


The increase Of wages in New York
City during the last three years has
been very marked, and has extended
to all branches Of trade. The brew
cry men, bakers, aeigar makers, long
shoremen, steamship fremen, men en-
gagged 10 building trades. and day la
horers have obtained considerable ad-
vantage through strikes or by means
of peaceful agitation. In nearly all
the building trades wages have in
creased about Is per cent. In 1878
bricklayers earned from Sl2 10 SIS q
week, Now they receive from $lS to
ga, and in some places are striking
for $27. The increase in three years
has been in this trade nearly 80 per
cent. While the pay has been raised
in most instances, the cost Of living
has not increased quite in the same
ratio. Bread is sold for the same
price as in 1873; beef costs from two
TO four cents more per pound; dairy
products, potatoes, tea, coffee and
sugar are less now than then, and coal
in the Eastern cities is con.
siderably lower. There is evidence
that wages have been forced up to
the highest notch, and must decline
before they advance again.
