MessTS T. II. and Constantine, started for
the scene Of their suffering parent, 4 dis

The ''incomparable Lotta, " as the pa
pers term her is this week filling an engage
ment with her renowned comedy company at
the opera House, rittsburg. We didn't see
the celebrated actress while in that city the
other day, but we did see Lolita trunks be
longing to her at the Seventh Avenue Hotel,
where, it is the unadulteratpd truth to say,
lot Of guests are constantly enjoying the
good things Of lite under the genial manage
ment of Col. Unger and his competent and
courteous aideS-de-camp, one Of whom Is our
clever friend "BiIIy' MaugeT The Seventh
Avenue is unquestionably one OF the boss
hotels of the United States, and the fact that
our young tOwnsman s. j. Humphrey is an
attaChe of the establishment is still another
reason why it deserves ana should receive
the patronage of all who visit Pittsburg from
this part of the world. We may also add
that 50 great is the demand for accOmmoda-
tiOns at this immense and admirably con-
Quoted house that II is in contemplation, as
soon as the weather permits, to put another
story on top of the four or five Of which il
already consists. When that is done our ad-
vertising columns will no dOuht be called on
to chronicle the fact and still further extend
the fame Of hotel that has TO superiors aud
few equals anywhere.
WORTH RENENIBERIE EG.--Now that good
times are gain upon rs, before induGing in
eXtTavagant show, it is worth remembering
that no one can enjoy the pleaSantest sur
rOuudinEs if il bad health. There are hun
dreds Of miserable people going about too day
with diSOrdered stomach, liver'Or kidneys, or
a dry, hacking cough, and one foot in the
grave, when a 30 CT. bottle Of PaTker'S Gin
ger Tonic would do them more good than all
the expensive doctors and quack medicines
they have ever tried. 1t always makes the
blood pure and rich, and viii build you up

WHY WE DIDN'T PRINT THE BoRoUGH
ORDINANCE. Those of our readers who re-
side in Ebersburg and vicinity, wha ever may
be said for the rest of them. are doubtless
aware that nearly an entire page of our un-
town contemporary was taken up last week
with the recently cOdiiod ordinance for the
government Of the borough Of EbpnSburI
That a Republican paper should have ;gCt
this work to do is of course entirely justified
as member Of Council remarked at the time,
on the theory that 'tO the vict0rs belong the
SpUils,' but as the powers that be wanted to

I'd, Q committee was appointed to call upon
f-irI of No, To
and ascertain how much per inch each Of us
would charge for publishing the aforesaid or
dmance, the understanding being that the
lowest bidder was to De awarded the con-
tract In pursuance of this appointment a
member of the committee did call upon us
and get our estimate, one item of which was
Sl.5O for printing fifteen copies Of the same
matter in the form Of q poster. That our
HeiEhb0T was interviewed in like manner by
another member Of the committee we have
no doubt but that no figures were furnished
at that time we have right to conclude from
the fact that when both bids were publicly
announced at subsequent meeting Of Couu-
ell. the gentleman having our bid IN keeping
being the first to report, which he did open
ly, it was found that the figures of both were
exactly alike as % The advertising, but in or
der to make sure of the job our neighbUr
was willing TO print the posters for nothing
III which means that the Uerdld'S bid was
intended to secure the work. and for that
reason was subject to any reduction which
the figures Of FREEMAN, after they became
known, might render necessary. Hence it
IS that we didn't get the contract, and mOre'S
the pity for the taxpayers, as we are willing
to he qualified that our proposition was based
on much smaller type than the Herald used
for the purpose, and as consequence the
cost would have been some eight or ten dol
lars less than our neighbOrs bill VIII amount
TO If he charges for each and every inch oc-
cupied These, at least, are what we con-
ceive to be the facts in the case, and as such
we have given them, subject to correction in
any essential particular that may be shown
or even assumed to be false.
