HERBERT wARD-THE CONGO STATE. q,
the beginningsof a five years experience
which made Australia and Borneo seem
like Sunday school picnics.
At the station itself white man could
retain life and fair degree Of health
but frequent expeditions were necessary
and finally he volunteered in the Emin
Bey relief expedition under Stanley, and
was in the forlorn band which struggled
towards the coast, only a few of them
reaching it, Among the black savages
living nearest to the station Mr.. Ward
was often witness to the most revolving
cases Of cannibalism, and remained some
time in villages scourged by smallpox
and African fever. During all this time
he kept up his nerve, took many valua'
BILE Photographic views and set down
minute descriptions Of the country and
people.
His most agreeable experience was
with Tippoo lib, the now famous bandit
and slave catcher, who is an unusually
intelligent negro with a slight dash OF
Arab blood. Hppoo was Of great use TIC
Stanley on his first expedition in hiring
men, acting as interpreter and securing
free route by the terror OF his name
He then organized larger band thar
ever Of Arabs and Arabized negroes ane
entered on systematic course of plum
der. His principal method is to attack
a native village, capture as many OF the
principal men as possible and compel
the tribe to ransom them. An elephant
tusk is the standard ransom for an ordl'
nary black citizen, and one Of Mr.
Wards photographs is of pile OF tuskl

Every Moral. Physical and Social Evil.
Adventurous circles III New York city
are now enjoying the society of Herbert
Ward. late lieutenant Of Stanley and
one Of the4very few survivors Of that
awruI journey up and down the Congo,
which comprised all the horrors OF
African travel. Mr.. Ward has made
n,;lny journeys and had many adven-
lures in wild regions, especially India
aud Australia, but all their horrors and
dangers combined, he thinks, would be
but d primary school 70 the miseries Of
Central African travel. Elsewhere death
and disease are common, it is true, but
lii. is still the normal condition; in
Africa existence is a continuing disease,
death is the natural termination OF
barney and survival the exception.

There are vast regions where every
native is thief always, a murderer on
occasion, and a cannibal whenever he
can get the material. There are other
vast stretches Of wilderness where fever
is as common as catarrh in New York,
and almost always fatal-regions the
European can only traverse by keeping
lis system super-stimulated with quinine
81 other prophy Tactics, and where low
ering Of the physical standard for even
one day is death warrant. And to cap
the climax Of horrors there is belt ira
yersed by the Congo where all these
evils are combined, where the air is ab
solutely so poisonous that no race OF
developed brain and nervous system can
survive year, and, consequently, none
but the lowest savages live-a land ap.
parently forgotten of God and afflicted
with every possible moral, physical and
brute evil, where every bush has thorn
and every insect a sting, every worm is
vile and every snake is venomous, every
man is an assassin, every woman beast
Of burden, and all Of both sexes cannibals.
There is popular impression that the
enormous natural wealth of the country
will Justify risk Of even such horrors,
but Mr., Ward thinks otherwise. The re-
sources, he says, are nothing like what
is represented, and, even if they were,
white men would not be justified in the
attempt to redeem such a region till all
other sections of the earth are civilized
and filled. His experience before going
to Africa should have qualified him to
Judge. He is but 26 years Of age, small
but compactly built, with a superb con:
stitution and phenomenal powers OF en-
durance. He is English, of wealthy pa,
rentagr. and in early boyhood ran away
and became a sailor. As such he reached
Australia, where he joined circus com.
many and travelled some time as a per.
former on the horizontal bars. Next
he went to the mines and then explored
the wild Australian interior.

Bar,lerr.s Furnaces and Ranges.

Among the attractions at Mechanical Hall
these practical aids to the comfort of house
keepers receive considerable attention. Since
1S47 the Bartlett manufacture has held an i'm
portant place among those who seek the best
appliances for household comfort and economy.
The portable and brick set furnaces are un-
equaled in their line. while the kitcheners
and the special ]. G. B. grand
active wrought steel ranges are su-
perior in many respects to any thatsare Upon
the market. In the cafe at the Exposition the
kitchen is fitted up with the Bartlett system,
and those who desire practical illustration Of
their workings should not fail to e1-
anime this interesting spot. Anyone
looking for the most advanced ideas in
cooking and heating should by all means con-
suit Mr.. Bartlett. 203 Wood street, Pittsburg,

In Public Favor,

Probably no exhibit at the Exposition takes
better with the general public than that OF
Hopper Bros & Co., of 307 Wood street No
exhibit, we think. is the theme of such general
comment as theirs, and really we have voted
none more perfect. Such perfect combina-
tion of household goods in so small a space
one would have thought out of question.
From the parlor to bedroom, dining room
and kitchen, each seems to be the pref
tiest room. There IS a something so
attractive about this suite of rooms
that people cannot keep away from them.
something SO inviting that to use their own
expression, this is something worth living for"
Each day hereafter a limited number of that
plendidly-illustrated book published by this
firm will be given away at their exhibit; be
fortunate enough to get one. Mr.. F. A. Hop
per had intended giving his entire time to the
Exposition. but their trade at the store, be-
coming of a much greater volume than was
anticipated. requires his assistance there dur
ing the day, but will be pleased to meet his
many friends at the exhibit in the evening.

WHERE HE GOT 1T.
The Question About Thur Hat is Answered
at Last.


"where did you get that hat, where did
you get that tile?"
This musical query. like some merchants
stocks, is growing little shelf-worn, but 1t
becomes fresh as a daisy when addressed to
a young man on whose graceful head sits a
new winter style from Ruben's. There is
such distinct block and pleasant gloss to
the winter hats Ruben is just now taking
out of the boxes that it is not surprising the
fellows who have not yet "caught on"
should ask where the new style came from.
Technically treated, the winter hat is 81 by
IL, 81 by 155s or 81 by ~ inches in depth.
1t has round, beavy brim, and runs In
copper, brown and black. The block is in
describable. You will recognize the first
one you see on the street, however, princi-
pally on account of the come-down in crown.
There's one new wrinkle for TIE younger
fellows. 1t is black buckle set In the band
at point between side and rear.
The soft hat keeps up its prestige, and this
year will run largely toward Prince Karls.
Windsor caps are loud as ever, the plaids
and stripes being exceedingly gay, The
men like them, perhaps, on account OF their
jaunty appearance.
The halter who conceived this seasons
style of silk tiles achieved triumph. It's
the prettiest block turned out in along time.
The proportions are medium, the brim natty
and the crown a light. bell-shaped dome
which might be spoken of poetlcally as
fashions throne. The deceased Mr.. Crow
ley would have looked like gentleman un-
der one of these glossy tiles. The Kersey
runs in the same style and its exterior is not
so tender Hence it is just shade the more
popular hat.

THEIR LAST CHANCE.
The Lincoln School Board Must Elect
That Teacher by Saturday
OR ELSE STEP DOWN AND OUT.
That is the Decree of Judge White as to the
School Deadlock.
GENERAL NEWsOF THE COUNTY COURTS

An argument was had before Judge
White Yesterday afternoon on the petition
of citizens of the Twenty-first ward, asking
for the removal OF the school directors oil the
Lincoln sub-district OF the TWenty-nrst
ward. The directors are Messrs. McLaugh-
lin. Candy, Bryce, Edwards, Ward ana
Thompson. The trouble is caused by the
board dividing on the election OF Miss
Emily Gardner as writing teacher OF the
scbooI Messrs. Edwards, Ward and
Tbornnson are firm for Miss Gardner, while
Hfessrs Mclaughlin, Candy and Bryce
30 onnosed to her election and de-
Sira tbe election of Miss Mccormick.
Miss Gardner's supporters are willing to
elect Miss Mccormick to the position of
teacher. but desire Miss Gardner's retention
as writing teacher. The deadlock occa-
stoned the filing of the petition to have the
directors compelled to do their duty and
elect the full quota of teachers, %, the num-
Der being two short, or else have others ap-
pointed who would do so.
John S. Robb, Esq, filed an answer on
the mart OF Messrs. Edwards, Ward and
Thompson, asserting they are willing to
elect Miss Gardner and Miss Mccormick,
and that the former is fully competent for
the position, having held it for seven years,
while Miss Mccormick is not competent.
They blame the trouble on the perVerslty OF
the other three directors.
Arch. Rowand, Esq, filed the answer OF
the other side. They claim that Miss Gard
ner is not capable of filling the position Dy
reason of her quick temper, rendering the
scholars nervous and irritable. They lay
the cause of the deadlock at the door OF tne
other directors
j McF. Carpenter, Esq. presented the
case TO Judge White He argued on behalf
of the residents of the ward that all they de-
sired was to have the board elect some
teacher so that they would have the full
ouota and the children not suffer. If they
would not do their duty they desired the
Court to remove them and appoint some one
who would.
Messsrs. Robb and Rowand made argu-
ments for their respective clients. Judge
White said that he would let the case go
over until next Saturday. If the full num-
Der of teachers was not elected by that time
he would declare the seats ot the directors
vacant He would not decide as to the case
of Miss Gardner, but would say that it is
unfortunate whenever question of church
membership arises.
Mr.. Rowand-we deny that it is ques-
tion OF religion. That is only an allega-
ton of Mr.. Robb's and not in the testi-
mony.
Mr.. Robb-We will make it part of the
testimony.
Judge White-The singular part Of it is
that she has been a teacher for seven years
and you only now find out her incom-
potency.
Continuing, Judge White said that it was
the bounden duty of the directors to elect
the teachers. They had no business to dis
agree on a question and vote to for
months.

HOPPER BROS. & CO.'S DISPLAY
From 301 Wood street.

When you think of it seriously you come
quickly to the conclusion that it must be a very
large and very complete stock from which the
firm drew the materials for their exquisite dis
play in North Gallery; display which has at
tracted all visitors and held them spell-bound
at its loveliness. No stand in the building
could be more popular, and each day makes it
more difficult to force your way through the
crowd, which, by common consent, fills the villa
and the aisle in front of it. 1t is not just par
lor, or a bedroom, or hall, or kitchen, or
lining room but it is all of Them so that every
department of house is represented fully and
entirely; people have not time to stir up their
imaginations to fill up blanks and deficiencies;
they want tosee it all plainly told before them;
and this has been fully and satisfactorily done,
in this case. anyway. 1t will compensate Wis
itors to make a trip to the store, 307 Wood
street, and go from floor to floor to see the
other fine things for which there was not room
in the display. A speciality with Messrs Hop
per Bros. d Co. is to fill all orders at the time
promised: it spares annoyance to buyers and
enables the business of the house to run not
only smoothly, but to accomplish double the
amount of those who do little here and
little there, and satisfy nobody. Take in the
villa, and accept the invitation to call upon
them in Wood street.

PNEUMATIC SYMPHONY ORGANS AND
PIANOS.
EC Hay, & Co., z3 Ftftb Avenue.

Visitors are more and more surprised to find
that such very young men constitute the firm
that has the admirable display in South
Gallery. The instruments are fine, the cases
in all the new fashionable woods are of the
handsomest, and withal there is such business
air about the whole that the greatest interest
is felt in their evident success Hays & Co.
are showing those splendid pianos made by
Hazeton Bros, Lester and Mathushek. They
are in concert grands, cabinet grands and up
rights, with ali to itself the wee little instru-
ment called the "Petite Bijou," perfect piano
for serenading pal ties, as it can be put in a
carriage. The woods employed in the cases
English burl oak and antique oak, just the
newest style, each choice specimen of its
kind.
The pneumatic Symphony Organs" are of a
very high order of merit. They are a regular
keyboard organ, carrying the largest number
of reeds used, and they are also played by
simply moving the pedals with the feet, or they
can be combined, producing great tone.
Every register of reeds acts upon the Pneu-
matte organ, which is the case only with those
made by Wilcox & White. These organs are
invaluable for no home need be without
music; and so far as the Pneumatic organ is
concerned, the number of pieces of music that
can be played is without limit. 1t is only
needed TO buy the barrel which means the
piece of music, slip it into place. pull the
',stop," move the feet, and the music will roll
on at your pleasure.
