FACTS CLEANED In ENGLAND.

DR.. Donehoo Makes His Report ON the Col.
Iege for the Biind-Carlng for the sight-
less in saxony.
The second annual report Of the directors
of the Western Pennsylvania Institution for
the Blind was issued yesterday. DR.. E. r.
Donehoo gives lengthy report of his visit
to the Royal Normal College for the Blind
in England. In his report Mr.. Donehoo
states these facts were CLEANED in England:
Out of $50 persons trained IN the blind schools
of Great Britain, only l55 were trying to earn
their living in occupations taught them in
public institutions. Out of ,267 blind men
taught trades in institutions. only 784 continued
TO pursue their trade. many of these earning
the scantiest living. The excellent system pur-
sued in the Norwood School, whereby every
pupil sent forth is located, if at all worthy of
assistance and then watched over and cared
for by his friends within the college, has re-
suited in rendering them far more prosperous
than any similar number OF pupils from any
other school for the blind in the world. A care
full record is kept of every pupil sent forth;
in every possible case situation Is secured De-
fore the pupil is dismissed and constant COM
munication is maintained between the one
thus provided for and the school to which he
or she is indebted for their training. Last year
the reports from the graduates of this college
show that the earnings Of 100 In the pursuits
for which they had been fitted amounted to the
sum of s60,o0O And this occurred at time
when commission appointed by Parliament
to inquire into the condition Of the blind in
Great Britain had just discovered that out OF
6S4S blind persons with whom they had estab-
lished correspondence, 4,605 reported that they
were unable to maintain themselves without
charitable assistance. Only $50 state that they
can support themselves while 8, 282 say that
they can earn nothing at all for themselves.
The kingdom of Saxony is the only country
in the world where anything in the form OF an
oversight is exercised over the blind, after Trey
have passed out of the schools where they had
been educated. There, system known as the
"Fursorge system" is in successful operation,
by means Of which those whose official duty it
is to attend to the matter are kept in contact
with the daily life of all the blind who require
their care. The blind are statedly visited in
their homes, assisted in all their struggles, and
in the sale of the goods which they manufac-
ture. A guardian with whom they are famil-
iarly acquainted, and in wnom they have conf
dence is designated to advise with them. exer-
else friendly supervision over them, and pro-
tect them from unjust imposition on tho part
of any who might seek to take advantage OF
their infirmity.

RIVALRY FOR PLACE.
Too Many Want to Serve on the PAN
American Reception Committee.
DISAPPOINTED ONES FEEL SORE.
The Ruling Question Now is, Shall the
Ladies be Admitted?
OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO PROPR1ErY

There is considerable dissatisfaction and
grumbling by prominent citizens all over
the city on account of not being placed upon
the Reception Committee to receive the Pan
American delegates The distinguished
representatives will arrive in the city on the
evening of Wednesday, November 6. On
Thursday and Friday evenings full dress
reception will be rendered them at the Mo
nongahela House, and there is considerable
kicking being done for places on the COM
mittee.
A meeting of the reception committee
will be held at o'clock this afternoon in
the Chamber of Commerce. & call has been
sent out by President w. e. Schmertz, who
has appointed between 30 and go represents
tive Pittsburgers to places on the committee.
The committee will be composed of the
Mayors Of the two cities, all the county
Judges and the prominent iron and steel
manufacturers. 1t was first intended to
have every industry represented, but it was
found that this would make the committee
too large, and the idea was abandoned.
DIDN'T LIKE TO BE LEFT.
When the list of names was announced
there was considerable agitation among
those who had not been put on. In speaking
of the matter yesterday afternoon, President
Schmertz said:
cit was impossible to get every person
who wanted place position on the COM
mlttee, aud many names were stricken of.
have been bothered to death by well-known
people who wanted place Of honor, but I
could not accommodate them. There is con-
siderable dissatisfaction in consequence
among those who were left off. They could
M ha for oSr ,Ia hat
there are too many Of them. have re-
stricted the committee to the Mayors,
County Judges, members of the Chamber Of
Commerce and iron manufacturers. We do
not wish to make the reception too general,
as 1t would lose much of its flavor.
A KICK ABOUT THE LADIES.
'The meeting tomorrow afternoon is for
the sole purpose of discussing the advisa-
bil1ty Of having our wives and daughters
present at the reception. I think it is a
good idea, but others do not hold the same
view, and want to exclude the ladies. I
think the proper thing will be full dress
reception in order to show that we can re-
ceive the visitors in the best possible style"
The Committee on Mechanical Exhibits
held another meeting yesterday in Machin-
cry Hall, at the Exposition, and allotted the
space to the exhibitors. The Westinghouse
interests have secured half OF one side of the
building to show their products. A letter
was read from the Philadelphia Company to
the effect that the natural gas display in the
Allegheny river would surpass anything
ever seen in this country.
Prof. j. A. Brashear. the noted astrono-
mer. has also applied for space. He will
exhibit all his astronomical instruments and
have his workshop in operation. The Pitts
burg Reduction Company win also make an
interesting display Of the high-class metal
aluminium.

For n Real Rest From the Cares of Life
Take n Boat Ride TO CHARTERS.
The letting the water out of the dam has
played the deuce with the Pittsburg and
CHARTERS Packet Company. Venus poked
her nose into the mouth of CHARTERS creek
the night the wickets went down and she is
there yet. The last rise in the CHARTERS left
bar just outside where the Venus was
anchored and she is imprisoned and will be
until the dam is raised or there is rise in
the river. Meantime her consort, the
Venice, picks her way in sort of depre-
catory apologize manner among the holes
LETT by the sand dredgers.
The company's whar boat at CHARTERS has
its back up. 1t is lying across bar and it
looks as though there would be abdominal
trouble when the water rises again. If you
are not in hurry a trip by water to
CHARTERS is a restful experience nowadays.

your part
"They may think what they like"

There was change in the tone Of his voice
that caused the doctor to put his hand on
his wrist again.

supposed you want to keep me alive to get

won't speak again"
: The others held a whispered conversation
in the corner.
"He is going fast" the doctor said. "It
is marvel that his voice is as strong as II
is. He certainly won't live till morning.
It is likely he may die within an hour"
81 will ask him another question or two,"
Mr.. Volkes said. "If we could but get
something to corroborate his story it would
be invaluable"
But Reginald Carne spoke no more.
He heard what was said to him, for he
laughed the same malicious laugh that had
thrilled the crowd as he stood on the para
pet, but it was low and feeble now. In
hopes that he might yet change his mind,
Mr.. Volkes and the clergyman remained
with DR.. Arrowsmith for another hour. At
the end of that time Reginald Carne
startled them by speaking again, clearly
and distinctly:
81 tell you it's all over, you witch; you
have done US harm enough, but I have
beaten you. 1t was you against me, and I
have won. There is nothing more for you
to do here and you can go to your place.
Carne's Hold is down and the Curse Is

As he ceased speaking the doctor moved
quietly up to the side Of the stretcher, put
his finger on the wrist, and stood there for
minute, then he bent down and listened.

CHAPTER xX.-CLEARED AT LAST.
Reginald Carne was laid down on the
table in the gardeners cottage. The doctor
could now examine him, and whispered to
the clergyman that both hislegs were broken,
and that be had no doubt whatever he had
received terrible internal injuries. ST don't
think he will live till morning"
Presently there was knock at the door.

the doctor opened it. 81 have known the

she is sensible in way" the doctor said.
's.That is, believe he knows perfectly we'll
what we are saying, but he has several times
laughed that strange cunning laugh that is
almost peculiar to the insane"
''Well, at any rate, will speak to him, !"
said Mr.. Volkes.
"Do you know me, Reginald?" he went
on in clear voice as he came up to the side
Of the table. Reginald Carne nodded and
again low, mocking laugh came from his
lips. "You thought you were very clever,
Volkes, mighty clever, but tricked you. !"
"You tricked me, did you?" the magis-
brate saiu, cneerluAy' hoH uiu you uicA

"You thought, and they all thought, the
dull-headed fools, that Ronald Mervyn
killed Margaret. Hol hol I cheated you
all nicely"
A glance of surprise passed between his
listeners. Mr.. Volkes signed to the others
not to speak, and then went on:
$50 he did, Reginald, so he did-though
we couldn't prove it; you did not trick us
there"

An exclamation of horror broke from the
three listeners. Mr.. Volkes was the first to
recover himself.

OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
And yetl-lsst Sunday the door of the
Fifth street police station opened, and
pretty young woman with tears in her eyes
fell on her knees before the desk.
"Please don't drive me out," she sobbed.
''I'm penniless and starving"
She was plainly, but neatly, dressed, and
in her arms was a wee baby. Sergeant
Welsing, big-hearted man, leaped from his
seat and helped the pair to chair. The
woman gave her name as Anna Meussen,
aged 26 years, and said her baby was 4
weeks old.
81 have been walking the streets all night
and this forenoon with my child" she said.
81 haven't tasted a mouthful of food since
Friday evening. 1 thought 1 should have
to lie down in the street and die, but
woman who passed me sitting on step told
me to come here"
She came from Bremen to this country
year ago, following the man who had asked
her to marry him. Not finding him, she
obtained employment as a domestic. Soon
after she met young man named Louis
Meussen, with whom she fell in love and to
whom she became engaged. 1t was the old,
old story. He disappeared.
She had been an inmate of an infrmary
on Second avenue until the previous Tues
day, since which time she has been seeking
employment, but without success. Finally
the last cent was gone and starvation stared
her in the face.
Sergeant Welsing notified the German So
ciety and the latter will take steps toward
having the mother and her child sent to her
home in Germany, it being claimed that she
still comes within the jurisdiction of the
Castle Garden authorities.

VEGETABLES AS MEDICINE.
Various Garden Products Considered as Aids

to Digestion.
Are you a vegetarian, and do you want to
kn ow what influence your favorite diet has
on the different parts of the machinery of
your body? II so, read what the Scientific
american says: Spinach has direct effect
upon the kidneys. The common dandelion,
used as greens, is excellent for the same
troubles. Asparagus purges the blood.
Celery acts admirably upon the nervous
system, and is helpful for rhuematism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beats and turnips are excellent appetizers
Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in their
effects upon the system.
Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shallots,
all of which are similar. possess medicinal
virtues of a marked character, stimulating
the circulatory system and the conse1 1uent
increase of the saliva and the gastric Juice,
promoting digestion. Red onions are an ex.
cellent diuretic, and the white ones are recon-
mended to be eaten raw as a remedy for in
somnia. They are tonic and nutritious.
A soup made from onions is regarded by the
French as an excellent restorative in debil-
ity of digestion.

NO NOTION OF SHOOTING.
Land Owners at Fever Heat-Farmers
Forgetting How TO Farm.

The ArbuckIe e. Co. Well SUI Booming and
Land Owners at Fever Heat-Fnrmers
Forgetting How TO Farm.
The petroleum excitement in Stowe, Rob
insor and Moon townships is unabated.
About all the available territory around the
Arbuckle and Jamison we'll has been Sc
cured by Guffey & Co., Vandergrift and
Buchanan. and some people are kicking
themselves because they didn't catch on
sooner, and lease territory before the news
of the Arbuckle strike spread. Fortunes
might have been made releasing. The Ar
buckle and Jamison well is still keeping
up her regular flow. An attempt was
made to agitate her on Thursday, but the
agitators gave it up after they were almost
drowned in grease. Some genius started
story that the owners were intending to have
her shot that day, and a good many
people believed the story, stupid as
it was. 1t would require tremendous
pressure to get a torpedo to the place where
it should go if she were to be shot, as her
throes are too vigorous, and they come too
often to allow the attempt. It isn't likely
that anyone of brains would want to shoot
we'll flowing as she is. They wouldn't risk
spelling il. The flow varies from 20 to 40
barrels an hour, and the gas pressure shows
no signs of diminution.
1t was reported yesterday morning that
another strike had been made on farm
south of the Arbuckle, near the Ffitch farm,
but the story did not materialize. The we'll
on the Diepp farm, on Montour run below
Ewlng's Mills, is still keeping up her aver
age. Further up the run two rigs are going
up, one on the Schmid and the other on the
Knopf farm. A we'll like the Diepp, in the
70O-foot sand, which here is but a little over
l, 400 feet down, is good thing, as it costs
but little, comparatively, to drill it.
-AgsienItuzs- in that section has been at a
low cob for some years past, many farmers
having placed mortgages on farms left them
unincumbered by their parents, and it is
probable that if the oil fever keeps up a
year or two the present owners will entirely
forget how to farm.
Late last evening Mr.. Jamison stated that
the we'll was making from 25 to 80 barrels
per hour.

THE RARITY OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY

illustrated by a Touching Scene Outside
Fashionable Church.
New York SUM-
Rather touching illustration of the
mockery of human charity occurred few
afternoons since during the convention at
the Broadway Tabernacle. It was cold and
clustering day, and the Solons of the
church, as we'll as the directors of the mis-
sionary societies, who disburse large sums
of money in various quarters of the earth,
had been in council all the afternoon. As
they filed out in the street they were a
snug and healthy looking lot of men.
Crouching along by the railing which sur
rounds the church, where the crowds of cler-
gymen were almost obliged to brush against
her to pass by, was woman of perhaps 80
years nursing an infant at her breast.
She had scarcely enough clothes on for de-
cency's sake, and her face was pinched with
hunger and privation. The child looked
sickly. The wind blew her scant drapery
around her, and her shawl was wound
around the child to keep it warm. The
clergymen passed her by to a man; not one
stopped to say a word nor to bestow penny
upon the unfortunate woman, and long after
the church was locked she continued to sit
there, until the police sent her on.

MIR. Raymond Seems TO Have Been a Real
Bad Man.
Inspector McAleese Yesterday received a
letter from Burgess Dickie, of Waynesburg,
stating that John Raymond, in Jail here for
the burglary at the American House, came
to Waynesburg during the county fair, few
weeks ago, and opened combination fake
female walking match and gambling outfit.
He robbed the guests at one hotel, and
then changed to another, where numerous
petty thefts occurred. The walking females
were arrested and sent out of town, and Ray
mond was finally drummed out of the place
also. The authorities did not arrest him be-
cause they had no evidence against him, but
the Identification of the Hodge checks and
some other articles found on Kennedy, the
matter is cleared up, and they have abun-
dant evidence to convict him.

The Standard Oil Company, not the great
Standard Oil Company of America, but the
local company, will apply to Governor
Beaver for an amendment to its original
charter, to the effect that the purposes for
which the corporation was established is the
manufacturing, illuminating and lubrcat-

NO SHORTAGE OF GAS.
A Misconception of Some Contractors Ex-
planned by Philadelphia Official.

y
Philadelphia Gas stock reached 31Z on
Change yesterday, the lowest figure attained
since it was listed, mainly upon misappre-
hension. An official of the Philadelphia
states in this connection that Park Bros &
Co.. who have been supplying Shoenberger
&Co. with natural gas, ON September made
q sub-contract with the Philadelphia Com
pany to supply Shoenberger & Co. with gas
for 60 days, and that that contract would
expire and had not been renewed.
The Philadelphia Company has an 8-foct
strip of land running to Mnrraysville, and
is at present substituting one large main
for several small ones, which necessitates
the shutting off of the gas supply at inter-
walls. There seems to be but small founda-
tion for the alarming rumors extant about
the failure of natural gas.

that it is sure to be placed on the market.
Mrs. Schenley's reason for selling is that
she is displeased at the manner in which her
