u C. Curseo, President people.
The toilets of the ladies were plain, but
in very good taste. Beauty was not lack
ing, and upon the arms of many of the
swarthy sons of the Sunny Land, hung sig
noritas, whose olive skin, dreamy eyes, and
heavy tresses sustained national reputa-
tion for loves languor and romance's
pardon. To the Societa Fraterna belong
the flower of Pittsburg's Italian population.
The society is not yet four years old, and
their first reception was held three years
ago this month In Turner Hall. j. G..
Cuneo (whose portrait is printed above),
is President of the association, and he is
supported by a corps of popular officers.
Regular committees had been appointed to
manage the ball and that accounts for the
smoothness with which every thing passed
of.
After preliminary dances the grand
march occurred at $50. 1t was participated
in by $50 couples. In the galleries sat 200
more people. Lunch was served downstairs

These were present, and aside from the
dancing the other social pastimes of the
evening were enjoyable. Some of the
dances were favorites of italian people, and
as the original Royal Orchestra was on
hand the music was just to the italian taste.

THAT DIAMOND STREET ORDINANCE

Discussed Pro and Con Yesterday Before
the Committee on Surveys.
The principal business done by the Com
mittee on Surveys at their regular meeting
yesterday afternoon was the consideration
of the ordinance widening Diamond street
between Liberty and Wood streets, which
had been referred back to the committee
from Councils. A petition from property
holders representing 214 feet, and remon-
STRANGE representing IA feet, abutting, was
presented.
Mr.. Black, of Black & Baird, a property
owner, opposed the move. Mr.. Charles
Meyran, representing the Germania Saw
ings Bank, favored the ordinance and
thought the city engineer ought to thor
oughly investigate. Mr. j. E. Kuhn, of
the William France plant. opposed it, as it
would take away nearly all of that proper
ty, and the damages would be from $500 to
81, 900 per foot front for the 357 feet it would
take off.
A representative of the David Gregg and
Mckee property, corner Wood street, said
it would take away all the Gregg lot and
damage it SAC, 900. Several others favored
the move as great thing for the city.
On motion of Mr.. Bigham sub-commit-
tee, composed of Messrs. Bigham, Epping
and Getty, together with the City Engineer
and City Attorney, were instructed to inves-
tigate the cost, expense and benefits OF the
improvement and report in the present
month.
The following ordinances were afirma-
lively recommended: Locating Republic,
Fingal. Seward and Rutledge streets, Thir-
ty-6fth ward; relocating Industry street
from Maple to Beltzhoover avenue; estab-
fishing the grade of Vine street from Reed
to Rose streets.

New York preparing for foreign missionary
work. One of these is Miss Lucy E. Dunn.
She had been an invalid the greater part of
her life, and the doctors could give her no
relief or hope for ultimate healing. She at
last resorted to her Maker alone. She had
then been imprisoned by feeble health to
the house for many months, but she says
the closer she lived to the Lord the
more steadily she gained in health.
At last she was barely strong
enough to make the 60-mile journey
from her home to Pittsburg. Her friends
bid her good by, never expecting to see her
alive in this world again. She made per-
sonal application to Miss Moorhead, who
short time, the young lady says, her health
was entirely cured. Now she is under
going the hardest study in New York for q
foreign mission.
Another convert of Faith Home was Miss
Blanche Phillips, formerly of the East
End, now the wife of Rev. Mr.. Nardi. Mr..
Nardi was converted from Catholicism, de-
liberately exiling himself to the life OF a
recluse at Economy until he studied out his
own feelings about religion to his satisfac-
ton. His wife went from Miss Moorhead's s
home to Mrs. Simpsons college in New
York, graduated there, and is now helping
her husband in evangelistic work among
Italians of the large cities of the United
States.
THE MOVEMENT HAS SPREAD
all over Pittsburg and Allegheny. At the
Faith Home there are seldom more than a
dozen guests-persons who have come to
stay there until they are cured by faith of
all sorts of ailments. They pay no board,
the management depending entirely on
providential means for sustenance. Daily
prayer meetings are held not only here, but
at private residences. The writer knows
that many of these are the homes of some of
the richest and most cultured people of
town. The work is, in fact, more popular
with the higher classes, just as the Salvation
Army confines its work to the lower classes.
This accounts for the extreme privacy and
exclusiveness of publicity that character
ICES the results of the revival. Mrs. Hall
is kept busy as a visitor. Rev. Mr.. Nor
row says that nearly every Protestant church
in the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny
include in their membership warm friends
and supporters of the work. A wealthy
gentleman of Allegheny whose name is
withheld from the public at present is sup
plying the money for the publication and
distribution of thousands of tracts These
tracts do not relate so much to the Divine
healing as to the necessity of living in q
higher plane of Christianity. In fact that
is true of the Faith Home meetings. The
healing is brought in as secondary matter.
Holiness in everyday life is aimed at first.
Now, the Bethany Tract Rooms have been
opened in suit of rooms in the Hamilton
building by Miss Moorhead and Rev. Nor
row. From this Office goes forth, in addi-
ton to the tracts, monthly paper of eight
pages, called Faith in God. In two months
its circulation was 10000. Its expenses
are borne in the same way-dependence on
Providence. No price is accepted for the
everybody free of charge.

OPINIONS, HIT OR MISS.

A Few Fair Samples of What Local OBJ
servers Are Saying of the Cabinet-Both
Praise and Criticism.
The new President and the new Cabinet
have taken the place Of the weather. if not
of the weather prophet, as staple topic for
discussion. Some very interesting local
opinions are expressed. The objections to
the Cabinet officers that are most generally
voiced are in regard to the comparatively
small national reputation which several of
them possess. Below are some local opin-
ions:
John Lambie, Select Councilman of the
Eighth ward-I think that President Harri-
cult thing for President to select men that
shall please the whole country as well as him
self, and General Harrison has done very well.
Senator Quay, however, has also done very wen
for his man, Mr.. Wanamaker, because in his
position as Postmaster General, he will have
an enormous patronage.
Emanuel Wertheimer, of Allegheny, spoke
to reporter as follows: sit Is a hard thing to
express any definite opinion, as 1 really don't
know much about some of the Cabinet officers.
Blaine and Window are almost the only men
nationally known"
"How about John Wanamaker?' quer1ed
THE DISPATCH man.
"Oh, he's all right-he's from the Keystone
State, you know" replied Mr.. Wertheimer,
with a laugh.
Chief Kirshler. of the Allegheny police maj
esty, thought that the Cabinet was all right
that 'there was some good stuff in II" as he
tersely put it.
City Solicitor Ephinstone was averse TO talk
ing on the subject. but said: Il have hardly
formed an opinion; in fact one has hardly had
chance to form one on the merits Of our new
Cabinet"
John Morrow, the educational hub of the
Northside, although not politician, said: II
have always been great admirer of Blaine as
statesman, and he is the right man." AS to
the other members he seems to think in a SINH
lar manner.
Richard Johnson, of Pittsburg, did not seem
to think much of some parts Of the new Cab
met.
"The main trouble" he said, ''is that in
the selection of these men, more attention has
been paid to their constituents than to their
fitness. OF course, l don't say that OF men like
Blaine and Window"

A GREAT CONVENTION
The National Association Of Plumbers
to Meet Here,
AND DISCUSS SANITARY SYSTEMS
900 Delegates to be Present, and the Session
Will Last Pour Days.
A BANQUET TO WIND UP THE BUSINESS

The Master Plumbers Association OF Al
legheny county held a meeting last night at
their headquarters, 7S Fourth. avenue, Tor
the purpose of making arrangements Tor the
National convention of all the plumbers OF
the United States, which is to be held IN
this city from June 26 until June 20.
There will be 600 delegates invited, from
all the largest cities of the Union, and 1t is
expected that matters of national interest
will be discussed at the convention. As
far as could be learned last night, all the
invited guests will visit number of the
largest industrial plants in the city and vi
cinity. One day will be set apart for an
excursion to places of interestin the neigh
borhood of Pittsburg. The convention will
be wound up with grand banquet at one
OF the hotels in the city, which one, how
ever, has not been determined as yet.
OF WIDESPREAD INTEREST.
Mr.. Charles H. Humbert, President of
the Allegheny County Master Plumbers
Association said last night to DISPATCH
reporter, in regard to the coming conven-
tion:
"The discussions which will be held at
our convention and the action that will be
taken there are undoubtedly of great in
terest to the public at large, and for that
reason the sessions will be as much open to
the people as possible. Why? Because the
subject that will receive the bulk of our
attention will be the sanitary conditions Of
the cities of the United States.
ga number of papers will be read on that
subject by several delegates to the conven-
ton. Suggestions will be received from
plumbers Of the entire country as to useful
and
NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS
that ought to be made in the sanitary ar
rangements of our dwellings. That of course
you can readily see, is a subject of import
ance TO everybody, and as the plumber is
the man who is largely responsible for the
sanitary condition of any dwelling erected,
he is undoubtedly also the man who is best
able to point out where our present system
of sanitary work is at fault.
1--WE will invite some of the most promi-
nent medical men to our convention for the
purpose of getting their opinions as to how
disease can be prevented by sanitary i'm
provements.
"We have already done great many
things, as. for instance. the establishing of
plumbing inspector and the law of COM
pelling cities to have a proper sewerage"
When Mr.. Humbert was asked whether
the association was considering the adop-
ton of an amendment to the constitution
bearing upon the relations between the mas
ters and journeymen, he denied that rumor
positively.

Nominations Made for New Officers of
Union No. q.
The fight against Whitelaw Reid, of New
York, by the typographical unions, has been
taken up in TINS city. At the meeting of
Typographical Union No. z, Sunday, reso-
lutions were passed indorsing the action Of
No. 6, of New York, and denouncing Mr..
Reid. The resolutions adopted were to the
effect that the union protested against the
appointment of the gentleman to any polit-
ical Office under the Republican admins
tration. The action was taken on account
of the antipathy of Mr.. Reid to the union.
At the meeting the following Nominations
of officers were made:

A FIRE AT A BALL.

The Frohsinn Masquerade Last Night-Ir
Threatened to End In Ashes Before if
Had Really Commenced.
The masquerade ball of the Frohsinn
Singing Society in the hall on Sixth ave-
nue. last night was great success, although
an outburst of fire threatened to upset all
the beautiful decorative arrangements that
been made by the committee in charge.
When the hall was opened and the janitor
got orders to light the chandeliers he acci-
dentally held the light too close to the tissue
paper garlands, which had been stretched
across the hall in the shape of star. In
an instant the entire paper was afame, and
it was entirely attributable to the presence
of mind of some of the gentlemen who were
in the hall at the time that more serious
fire was averted. 1t was also fortunate that
hardly any guests had yet arrived, and no
ladies were frightened. But the exquisite
totally destroyed.
This unpleasant diversion, however, did
not materially mar the fun of the evening,
and a more enjoyable time has, perhaps,
never been spent in the Frohsinn headquar-
Nters.
/ Among the costumes of the masqueraders
there were some very fine specimens of in
genious disguises as well as artistic and cost
ly dresses. A young man in the makeup of a
Pittsburg newsboy attracted great deal OF
attention, and so did young girl, who imi-
tated Topsp of "Uncle Toms Cabin" fame.
The Committee of Arrangements, consist
ing of eight gentlemen, presented very
fine appearance in their elegant sailor cos
tunes.
The Toerge Bros Orchestra furnished
the music. At 10 o'clock the grand march
commenced, and, about midnight, an inter
val was called in the dancing for an ad.
iournment to supper
