OUR GREAT EXPOSITION.
II. Kleber & Bro.'s Stnud.

The crowds thronging around the music
exhibit of Kleber & Bro. prove that theirs
is one of the most attractive stands in the
whole building. The superiority of their
instruments is conceded by all, and no other
can compare with the great Steinway, the
wonderful Conover, the lovely Gabler and
the popular Opera and Emerson pianos.
Also, the phenomenal Vocation church Or
gan which, while costing only $500 or less,
fully equals any $500 pipe organ. Here,
also, are shown the famous Burdett organs
and the wellknown Earhuff organs. In the
way of musical curiosites the Klebers ex-
hibit Tom Thumbs miniature grand piano,
made expressly for him in London at an ex-
pense of 81 900 and played upon by him in
his shows all over Europe and this country.
Klebers have also secured the first piano
ever made in Pittsburg by Charles McDon-
nell for the late Frederick Lovenz. one of
the greatest glass manufacturers of his time
tits worth a 100-mile trip TO see and compare
this 1O0-year-old piano with the splendid
specimens of the present time. The Messrs.
Kleber & Bro. are the Oldest established as
well as the leading music dealers in Pitts
burg and Western Pennsylvania. They sell
their instruments on a smaller profit and on
easier payments than other dealers, and they
give the longest warranty, viz, eight years.
Klebers are trusted and preferred by the
great majority of our people as the safest
house to deal at,

railing with futed columns. In the center
Of the staircase are the steps. from which the
basement and lavatory are reached. Half
way to the second story is landing where
the half flights begin and end. a large,
double window sheds its light on the lower
hall at the landing. The lower half of the
window is occupied by handsome oblong
stained glass pattern in subdued tints. In
its center is smaller oblong of cut glass
panes of minute size, and in the extreme
center is disk of darkly-tinted glass with
educational objects neatly blended in its
prevailing color. This window is marvel
of neatness and beauty.
On the second floor are four classrooms
with small cloakrooms between them. Di-
rectly over and to the left of the entrance
are the three handsome rooms to be occu-
pied by Superintendent Morrow, Secretary
R. B. Scandrett, and their assistants. These
rooms are finished in yellow pine with old
gold tinted walls and ceiling, and viii be
luxuriously carpeted and finished. The
second-story front with the semicircular end
is to be the room Of the Allegheny Board of
Control. 1t is one of the best lighted rooms
in the building, and will be adequately
furnished and carpeted. The tints of all
the ceilings in classrooms and Offices are
delicate and rest the eye, being in pleasant
contrast to the usual glare of white finish.

farsighted policy of the Allegheny Board
of Control, and their courage and persistence
with which opposition was fought down
and super-conservative notions combatted.
The High School covers site 120x11O
feet, fronting on the Sherman avenue side
of the West parks, and is nearly opposite
the handsome park band stand. It is three
stories high. and the contractors price of
S69, 900 has been augmented by the amount
expended in fitting up the interior with the
most modern OF scholastic appurtenances, SO
that it will cost, when dedicated. about $780,
900. The cost of one-half of the site-the
city owned 60-foot frontage-was $50, 900,
making the net outlay S12O, 900.
Viewed from the park the building pre-
sents magnificent appearance. The arched
entrance divides the front of the building
unevenly. To the right hand a gabled front
goes aloft three full stories. terminating in
a sharp peak. The third and fourth stories
meet in the upper center of large triple
arch window. The first story frontage is of
rough stone, the balance of the structure be-
ing red pressed brick. On the left side of
the entrance is a massive tower-shaped
front, with deeply recessed windows, the
inner corner being a minaret with carved
capstone. The outer corner is an octagonal
half tower. The extreme left of the front is

TO HIRE STRANGERS.

Master Horseshoers Will 20 to Other Cities
for Men-The Strikers Claim Many of
x the Firms Are Faltering.
The master horseshoers of this city, did
not meet with much success yesterday in
the attempt to hire non-unlon men to break
the strike. An advertisement was inserted
in The DISPATCH asking for IS men, but
only four applied for positions. They
expect to have another one by Monday
morning.
A member of the firm of Doris 8 Sons,
stated yesterday, that they would 20 to
other cities for men as they were satisfied
they could not be secured here. Advertise
ments will be inserted in Eastern and
Western papers offering good positions to
men, but the strikers say they will be on
the lookout, and prevent them from work
ing. Mr.. Doris stated that the horseshoers
were only organized in New York, Chicago,
and PIttsburg, and there would be no
trouble securing men.
The master shoers held another meeting,
and again decided to stand firm. The strike
has now settled down to a long fight The
employers claim it is not a question Of
wages, but one of where they shall draw
the line. They claim the men have struck
so often that it is about time to refuse to
grant their demands.
Secretary w. j. More of the National
Horseshoers' Association, said they have 81
unions in the country, and they are organ
lied in every large city. He says the men
have been notified in other cities, and will
not come here. Eight firms have already
signed the scale, and more will follow. They
claim the masters make 80 per cent profit
The horseshoers are supported by the 81
unions and organized labor in Allegheny
county,

AT THE EXPOSITION.


About 1000 People Viewed the Exhibit,
Yesterday-The Crowds Are Fond oi
the Lofty Galleries.
Another very pleasant surprise awaited
Exposition Managers, and Pittsburgers
generally, last night, when. at 9 o'clock, q
tour of the gates was made and the turn.
stiles showed round total of 1000 for the
day. This was especially pleasing, since
no single attraction had been advertised,
except that the Exposition was open, and
would be ready in few days. The man.
ayers have, with perhaps a couple of excep-
tions, been very chary of promising any,
thing definite in regard to just when the
buildings and exhibits would be completed.
Last night, however, Vice President John
Bindley made a careful search throughout
the great main structure, and in speaking OF
the results said:
81 have talked to every exhibitor tonight,
who was in any way backward on his
stand, and one and all unite in promising
definitely that by Saturday evening their
exhibits would be in perfect order. We
feel safe then, and are glad to promise
without doubt there will be no more scuf-
fling, and showing about of exhibits after
this, but that everything will be in apple
pie order for Saturday"
In speaking of the great iron structure,
Manager Johnston was net at all slow in
saying Marshall Bros. might hurry things
considerably more than they were doing.
He did not consider there were men enough
employed on the building considering the
e1igencies of the case. As it is, exhibitors
are pushing things rapidly for themselves
in Power Hall, and some of the most novel
and pretty mechanical ideas are taking
shape rapidly.
1t is the intention hereafter TO make Sat
urday peoples day, and to provide such
music and amusements as will be highly ap-
preciated by the masses.
With this end in view Conductor B.
Weiss has been preparing a programme
that will appeal to the hearts and musical
ears of all. He is now making careful
selection of light operas, waltzes and lively
and lovely music as will mark the name of
his celebrated musicians one niche higher
in the affections of Pittsburgers.
One popularity has been noticed about
this Exposition that is contrary to all the
usual rules. The visitor, both home and
foreign, after making tour of the lower
floors, seem to like above all other things to
mount the balcony and gaze for hours, it
seems upon the lively, brilliant throng be-
low seem to please them most, and rattling
game of billiards played on a handsome
table exhibit, attracted a delighted audi
ence. while electrical machines and Edison's
famous monographs held crowds about
them all the time.

A LONG LOST MAN FOUND.
He Is Rich Enough TO Buy the Township
in Which He Was Raised-SaIt Lake a
Great Place for Swimming.

He Is Rich Enough to Buy the Township
in Which He Was Rnised-SaIt Lake n
Great Place for Swimming.
A. B. Stevenson, ESQ.,, has returned from
general tour of the West and Northwest.
During his trip he studied the real estate
movement in Minneapolis. Salt Lake City
and Helena, and says that although he had
read of it he never realized its immensity
until be talked with the exuberant agents
in those cities. In the vicinity of Helena
the movement has been slightly checked by
a long drouth that has been somewhat
repressive of energy, but Mr.. Stevenson
says the depression cannot last long in a
town of20,00 inhabitants, among whom are
35 millionaires, all of whom are hustling as
though on the verge of starvation.
Mr.. Stevenson also stated that notwith
standing the ecclesiastical dynasty that large
ly controls Salt Lake City, that towns builtby
religious fanaticism, irrigation and hard
work, offer powerful inducements for men
of energy and brain. There are no flies on
her. Mr.. Stevenson learned to swim in
Salt Lake, having failed to acquire that
graceful and useful acquirment on the
knobs of Moon township, where he spent
his boyhood days. He says it is the place
to learn without danger. All you have to
do is to shut your eyes and mouth, and keep
the salt water out of them, and then strike
out until you learn the gait necessary. You
cannot sink, so you need not be nervous,
and there are no sharks nor sea serpents to
molest nor to make you afraid.
But the most interesting discovery made
by Mr.. Stevenson and one of moment to
many people in Moon Township, was the
finding of George Mccormick, who was
raised in Moon, but whose whereabouts
have been mystery for II years. In 1872
Mr.. Mccormick left Moon for parts un-
known. and has never written to any of his
friends. He is a miner and rancher at
Silver, 20 miles from Helena, and richer
than Cresus. Mr.. Mccormick is still
bachelor, but were he to come home might
easily induce some eligible maiden to take
charge of his establishment.

a pavement of minute mosaic work. Pass
ing through the interior doors one finds
himself in splendid hall, the heavy oak
paneling and high walls, together with the
subdued tints OF the ceiling, making it very
impressive. On the left is the Principal's s
room, a handsome apartment done in old
gold and the oak paneling, the feature ofthe
whole first floor, and ceiling cerulean tint.
Beyond that are two classrooms, front and
rear, separated by a side staircase leading to
the second floor. On the right side of the
entrance are two more classrooms separated
by small room intended as the future To-
cation of the teachers library. Opposite
the entrance is
THE GRAND STAIRCASE
leading to the second story. 1t is of heavy
oak boards, and very solid in appearance.

A PoNDERoUs ARCHwAY.

A PoNDEROUS ARCHwAY.
The archway, which constitutes the en-.
trance, is a ponderous and handsome affair
of rough stone, the integrals being 12 stones
on each side of the keystone. Above the
greatest curve of the arch on either side are
some beautifully sculptured leaves, grasses
and half-dragons in basso relieve. Engraved
in these are the letters ga. D." and the fig
ures 1885," the severe outlines forming a
pleasing contrast to the surrounding ara
besques. In straight line extending above
the archway are the word" Allegheny High
School, in Roman capitals. On either
end of this legend are two
short rounded columns with elaborately
carved pediments, below which are stone
scrolls manitestly meant for the reception
of names. The sustaining stones of the
archway are also sculptured The two
stories above the archway are deeply re-
cessed with an abrupt embrasure on the
third story level, the front of the embrasure
being formed of Corinthian pillars. The
archway is flanked by sculptured stone off
sets, and the level of the vestibule is
reached by flight of eight stone steps
rising from platform a little above the
street grade. The step and archway are in
perfect harmony.
PECULIAR COMBINATIONS.
Even those familiar with architectural
terminology would be puzzled by the pc
cuIiar combinations of the embellishments
to the facade. The designer has gone from
style to style with amazing versatility-now
Doric, now Ionic, now Corinthian-and al
r.. l. Is -,
has been indulged in, the general effect is
not unpleasant to an artistic eye, owing to
the judicious separation OF the features of
the front. Nearly all the windows are
formed of sets of columns with chastely de-
signed apexes. Below the second story win
dows are broad belts of basso relieve figures
executed in native terra Gotta.
Beneath the archway, the entrance is mar
rowed by half-round offsets, and terminates
in a massive oaken doorway. Inside of this
is vestibule with marble wainscoting and

UNLOADING THE GRANITE.

This Is the Fourth Car Used by MIR. Malone
in the New PostcfIice.
The third cargo of Maine granite for the
new Federal building, received since Mr..
Malone became Superintendent of Con-
struction, is now being unloaded from the
Baltimore and Ohio cars. When Mr..
Malone assumed charge he had one cargo on
the ground, so this is the fourth which will
be used by him In the construction. A cargo
averages about $50 tons. The one preceding
that just received reached nearly 1000 tons.
The unloading is slow and difficult, as the
stones are massive.

SOME GENERAL DETAILS.

The heating and ventilation of the school
are combined In the "Smead" system. a yerv
elaborate apparatus which delivers fresh hot
air and extracts impure cool air at
one and the same time by an in
genious arrangement of double furnaces
working together. By this system a con-
slant renewal of air in the classrooms is
maintained in either hot or cold weather.
The plan has been tested in the Fifth ward
school for two years and is believed to Der.
iectly solve an annoying problem in school
construction.
The desks on the first floor are new and of
cherry wood, the chairs being of the Gus
tomary opera house pattern. On the second

are old material worked over by a Pitts
burg firm. E"ch of the 13 classrooms will
seat on an average 30 pupils. The walls of
tne classrooms are utilized for blackboards.
and the supply of light has been carefully
arranged to give the best results.
Secretary r. B. Scandrett states that the
whole building will be lighted by electric
lty, and the fixtures will be in place in
few days. The lavatories and sanatiye ar
rangements are so planned that there is no
connection with the city sewers, and there
fore no possibility of the entrance of gas to
the building.
Yesterday was the date set for the opening
and dedication of the building, but the
decorators have still so much to do that
postponement was unavoidable. Several of
the class rooms are ready for occupancy.
