KISSING AS AN ART.

The Latest Eastern Fad Strikes Pitfsburg
With a vengeauce-An Attractive Lady
Professor to Opes a School.
'My face is my fortune, sir, she said. /"
Whether it was of sufficient value for the
pretty maid to finally refuse the marriage
proposition made her by the young man, the
song does not say. But young lady in
this city, whose face is attractive enough to
be called pretty, has determined to make a
few dollars, if not fortune, by the combi-
nation of her face and some advice to the
generally bashful young man who is an ar
dent, but clumsy, wooer OF pretty maid.
The dainty little miss has had the oppor-
tunity of studying European manners, and
is we'll educated, as far as young ladies go.
She obtained her idea while on a trip East,
and now that her more material fortune is
rather depleted, she proposes to open a
school to be known as the "School for In
structions in the Art of Oscillation and De-
pertinent
She is to be proprietor. manager and
professor. Her pupils will be obtained
from the ranks of her friends, who are
legion, and her charges will be nominal.
1t may be necessary to obtain a professor
for the instruction Of the lady pupils, as
that would make the thing more interesting,
but at present she proposes to give lessons
to young men only and allow them to i'm
part their teachings to their sisters.
According to the ideas of the new pro-
fessor, American men do not understand the
proper method of implanting a kiss upon
the lips of even charming sister or more
sedate mother. They are too clumsy
"It has become quite a fad in the East,

hind the age. went to few lessons, but

was fussy little Frenchman, and am 60

paper man.
''You draw [but in this case she didn't
draw worth a cent the young lady gently
toward you. Place one arm lightly about
her waist and allow her left hand to rest on
your shoulder. Then take her right hand
in your left. Don't get excited
and squeeze the hand; that detracts her at
tention from the more important task at
hand. She should throw her head slightly
back. The gentleman should always be the
taller. With lips slightly closed press
yours to hers for a brief moment. Don't
smack the lips. 1t is annoying and might
be overheard. Don't have your mouth
open. Teeth and lips are very different
things, you know. The Partisan is the only
man who knows how to kiss"

FOR ANOTHER BANKING FIRM.

The Southside Dcfuuct Bank Building TO
Go Under the Hammer.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank building will be offered
for sale at auction, and a great deal of
guessing has been going on lately as to who
would be the probable purchaser.
Mr.. j. H. Sorg, President of the defunct
bank, stated last night that they had dc.
cided not to take less for the building than
$4,000. Should they not be able to realize
that sum from the property, the sale will be
adjourned.
Mr.. Sorg also stated to representative of
this paper thai he had heard rumor yester-
day to the effect that number of Southside
business men intended to buy the building
for the purpose of starting another bank
He could not give any more definite infor-
nation on the subject, however, and various
inquiries made of several prominent South
side business men resulted in the same way.

panions Stand Aghast for Awhile.
James Alexander, machinist at Will
lam Renton's machine shop, 81 Water
street, suddenly became insane while at
work yesterday morning. The man Is
about 40 years of age, and he was said to
live in the Eleventh ward.
Alexander had, of late, shown frequent
fits of insanity, but they never became very
severe. On Tuesday, however, he did not
appear at the shop at all, and the men at
that place suspected that something must
have happened to him. Yesterday morning
ne arrived at the shop at the usual hour,
and commenced work
During the forenoon, however, he sud-
denly took hold of file and stabbed himself
IN his chest with the tool. Then he took
another and did the same thing again, each
time inficting serious wound. His CO..
workmen stood aghast for a moment, and,
IN their horror, forgot to take the tools
from him.
After awhile they went up to him, and,
although the unfortunate man struggled
very hard, be was at last overpowered. The
patrol wagon was then sent for and Alex-
ander was conveyed to the Central station.

was taken to his home on the hill.

The Tank Glass System,

Some important information to window
glass workers was received at the head
quarters of the association on the Southside
yesterday. Six large factories in Belgium
have closed down, and the operators have
gone into bankruptcy. These firms operated
what are called tank factories, and their
failure is evidence that the tank system is
not success, at least in the old country.
Chambers and Mckee intend using the
tank system at their Jeanette factory.

yesterday taking look at the schools and

A HOLE In A SENSATION.
The Deputy Supreme Justice of the Order
of Iron Hall Sees No S1S.OOO.O0O
nrRcif Nor Anr Shnrfn Qa nj All.

The Deputy Supreme Justice Of the Order
of Iron Hall Sees No S1S.OO0.O0O
Deficit, Nor Any Shortage AT All.
Considerable excitement and discussion
has arisen among the friends and members
of the Order of the Iron Hall and similar
organizations founded on basis of paying
the policy holders 81 900 at the end of seven
years, minus the sick benefits, by a
statement in the Philadelphia Rec
ord that the Order of the Iron
Hall is not liable for the maturity
of its policies. As a basis of reason, it is
stated that, at a rate OF increase of so per
cent per year in the membership of $4,000,
the society will encounter deficiency of
more than SIS, 600, 900 in paying the matured
certificates of its policy holders who
Joined prior to 1885, AS one illustration of
this, the figures of the Insurance Commits
sioner OF Massachu sets, wno examined the
workings of the order in 1887, were given.
In order to ascertain the truth of the
charges, call was made by a DISPATCH
reporter yesterday on Mr.. w. c. Mackey,
Deputy Supreme Justice of The Order of
the Iron Hall. Mr.. Maekey said:
The charges are well gotten up from reason
ing standpoint; but the writer was evidently
unacquainted with the workings of the order,
and the statement is preposterous. We are
bound to pay our liabilities anyway,
even should the assessments have
to be doubled or trebled to
do so. We call an assessment of s. 90 as
often as it is necessary to pay the matured poll
cies or sick benefits. The subordinate lodges
retain 20 per cent of this, which is invested by
them. The other so per cent is sent to the Su-
preme Lodge. 1t has been found that about %
per cent will pay the sick benefits, and the re-
manning 80 per cent is invested by the Supreme
Lodge.
On the maturity of certificate the Supreme
Lodge draws on this 80 per cent, together with
one-seventh of the 20 per cent which is called
in from that portion yearly which the sub
ordinate lodges have retained. When this
fund is not sufficient, an assessment is called.
This reserved fund has now reached over
$500, 900. We find that nearly two-thirds OF the
certificates do not reach maturity.
The liability is just as sure as with any such
except on different basis.

PIG IRON PRODUCERS
Threaten to Bank Their Furnaces IL the
Price of Limestone is Increased.

Price of Limestone is Increased.
The blast furnace owners throughout the
Mahoning valley have notified the Carbon
Limestone Company that if the price of
limestone is to be advanced they will bank
their furnaces rather than pay the increased
price. This was reported at meeting of
limestone operators, whose men are now on
strike for an advance in wages of 5 cents
per ton in the price of quarrying.
1t was unanimously decided to resist the
demand. 1t is likely that an attempt will
be made to fill the places of the strikers with
new men, as the operators claim it would be
impossible for them to grant the advance
and at the same time sell at present prices.
