CANDY ALSO IN A CORNER.

The Rise in Sugar is Followed by Pro-
pOrtiOnate Jump in Tnfy.
4 The price of candy as well as that of sugar
is on the increase. Readers of THE DIS
PATCH who have sweet tooth had better
lay in their summers supply. This appre
citation of candy is due to the fact that
within the past week the price of sugar has
been forced up1 cent, and will go higher
The Sugar. Tust has done it, and it looks as
if they were cornering the market, When
sugar goes up 1 cent the price of candy is
also advanced cent.
Common candy is now selling for 10 cents,
the price of sugar being 9. In reply to a
query for the reason for the price of common
candy advancing. Mr.. John Messer, we'll
known manufacturer, said:
1T appears to me as if the Sugar Trust
was trying to corner the European market
on sugar, and, as the price of the product
goes up, candy has to keep / cent ahead OF
it. The manufacturers and wholesalers Of
this city are fighting shy on large orders
until they see what will likely be done. I
have orders on my books now for only 1000
pounds; but this is more than want to sell
at the old. prices. Common candy is now
selling for 10 cents, and 1 do not think it
will ever go lower than this.
"The beet sugar industry is coming on as
rapidly as could be expected. In Europe
they are using it, and find it is almost as
good as the Cuban sugar, while 1t can be
msde cheaper and after the juice has been
extracted the beets can be fed to stock.

A BOY CHOIR.
One to be Formed ut ST. PauTs-Congre.
EationaI Singing May FoIlOw-HOw it
Was Iuaugurated in Gotham.

One to be Formed ut ST. PauIs-Cougre-
EationaI Singing May FoIlow-HOw il
Was Inaugurated in Gotham.
Rev. Father Wall, rector of st. Psul's
Cathedral, is considering the project of
having boy choir in the church, to sing
at vespers. The matter has not taken def
mite shape, but as soon as director can be
found the choir will be formed. The regular
paid choir will still continue to sing at the
high mass, and the other will be used upon
other occasions The singing of the boy
choir will be done from the gallery in the
rear of the church.
In New York City the Paulist fathers
have inaugurated congregational singing in
all their churches, as will be seen by the
following:
One of the priests directs the singing from
the pulpit going over the hymns line by line,
in old-fashioned Methodist style of 'lining out
the hymns" and the congregation then take up
the words and sing them, following the choir
master, who acts as leader All the hymns, ex-
cept the Latin hymn sung at the benediction OF
the sacrament are In English. The choir
originally assisted. but now the people do all
the singing themselves. The priests encourage
the people to sing, and the thousands OF voices
respond heartily. Even the old are said to
catch the infection, and Catholics who have
been coming to church during long lifetime,
and who never dreamed of such thing as con-
gregational singing, are now heard joining
heartily in the hymns, while the young people
go home singing; and in many Catholic home
where an English hymn had never been sung,
now these hymns are heard. After Easter, on
"Wednesday and Sunday evenings. these hymns
will still be sung, and it is SAID that the people
viii be instructed with the rehearsals, at which
new tunes and hymns will be taught.
The founder of this movement for congrega-
tional singing is the Paulist father, Rev. Al
fred Young. He is an old man, who has been
connected with a choir, either Protestant or
Catholic, ever since he was eight years old In
1884, after vespers, he used to rehearse hymns
with his people, and this suggested the move
ment Father Young is said to have great faith
in his innovation, and he predicts chat some
day, in all Catholic churches, it will become
general, as means towards intelligent devo-
ton. He says that, by singing hymns, the peo-
pie will gain more intelligent ideas of doctrine,
morality and worship. He thinks the people
at high mass should all be able to stand and
sing the Creed-their profession of faith. 1t is
said that congregational singing is not new in
the church, as it was common before the Refor-
nation, The Italians put stop to it by intro
ducing concert music.
The scheme is to be tried in some of the
Baltimore churches also.

A STRANGE RECOVERY.
A Man Carried From a Death Bed
to DR.. Smith, the Magnetic
Physician, at
No. 500 Penn Avenue.

1t is seldom necessary to comment upon facts
or upon that which is truly wonderful. yet one
cannot refrain from expressing profound ad-
miration for the skill which is raising so many
sufferers from beds of pain and distress and
restores them to health and vigor. 1t scarcely
seems credible that such marvellous results
can be obtained by the laying on Of hands, and
we should have been 10th to believe these
wonderful reports of DR.. Smiths re-
markable cures only for the fact that
we have been an eye Witness and see
ing, you know, is believing. What we see
with our own eyes we are bound to believe.
The following cases treated by the Drs. Smith
at the Grand Opera House and in their parlors,
at No. 5O2 Penn avenue, speak for themselves.
Mr.. John Foley, who resides at Millvale, was
taken with terrible pain in his right shoulder
upward of five months ago. The attack came
on suddenly. like shock of paralysis. The
arm became useless in a few moments time.
He could not use the hand or move finger.
A short time after the attack he began to ex-
perience pain in the shoulder. The pain in
creased in severity for a number of
days, when it was discovered that there
was an accumulation of pus in the
shoulder joint. Mr.. Foley applied to doctor,
who opened the shoulder with the knife.
Large quantities of pus was discharged at the
discharge a thin. acrid pus. In this helpless
and hopeless condition he applied to the Drs.
Smith, the magnetic physicians, at 502 Penn
avenue, ana was cured perfectly. He has re-
gained the use of his hand and arm, and is now
well and happy. John Mcdonald suffered ten
years from sciatica. Mr.. Mcdonald is an old
gentleman, and was helpless for several years.
He was cured on the public stage by one mag
netic treatment. Scores of cases of loss of
voice have been cured on the public
stage by one treatment, as well as
cases of rheumatism. neuralgia, catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis, and, in fact all kinds Of
disease. All that the doctors do is to apply
their hands to the affected parts for few mo-
ments. when the cure is completed. Drs. Smith
will continue to heal the sick free of charge at
the Grand Opera House every morning this
week from 10 to IL o'clock.
Next Saturday morning will be their last ap-
pearance in the Grand Opera House. and will
close their public healing of the sick. Hereaf-
ter those who desire to consult DR.. Smith may
do so at his office, No. 500 Penn avenue. Con-
sultation free from A. M. until P. NJ. daily.
All letters of inquiry must contain two stamps.
DR.. Smiths office will close at o'clock P. NJ.

ANIMAL FOOD BARRED.
Starved Down to Point Where She
Wouldn't Run the Householder Cases.

How a Wife Now Seeking Divorce Was
Starved Down TO a Point Where She
Wouldn't Run the HOuse-Other Cases.
George D. Shaw, commissioner in the d.
vorce case of Joanna Ballard against Georg
Ballard, yesterday filed the testimony taken
in the case. The evidence given by Mrs
Ballard showed that she had been submitted
for several years to cruelty, abuse, threats,
etc. She stated that, shortly after they were
married, her husband laid down a set Of
rules, one of which was that she was not to
eat meat, butter, eggs, lard, milk or cheese
He said that that kind of food would make
her big and she would run the house, as his
brothers wife did.
As result of the diet she was put on, it
was stated, she grew thin and sickly. The
couple lived in the Thirteenth ward.
Mrs. Emma Shible sued for divorce
from Joseph G. Shible. She claimed that
he abused her, and, pointing a revolver a.
her head, threatened to kill her. She was
compelled by his treatment to leave him.
Other suits for divorce were entered by
Alfred Harris against Elizabeth Harris, for
desert1on; Maggie L. Ziegler against John
n. Ziegler, for desertion, and Catharine
Laubengerger against Gotleib Laubenger-
ger, for infdelity, cruelty and desertion.

PATENT SOLID ENAMEL TILE.
Warranted Not to Craze.

We beg to call your attention to our de-
signs OF solid enamel tile manufactured by
the Butler Art Glass Company, of Fostoria.
O., for hearths, wainscoting, mantel borders,
etc. The ordinary tile is manufactured of
clay with a facing of enamel, and as all who
have handled it know, it will craze after
being short time in service. Thereason
of this Grazing is that the clay of which the
body is formed and the enamel on the sur
face are composed of two very different ma
terials, and they will not expand or contract
alike. In offering this new patent solid en-
amel tile to the public we give them tile
composed entirely of one substance, and that
solid enamel, and it is guaranteed never to
craze. We have the tile in all the different
colors required by the trade. We also have
a superior article in plain white for lining
bathrooms, wainscoting and other inside
work. The wainscoting tile is made with a
patent interlocking catch, by which each
tile is locked to the one next it. We would
be pleased to have you call and see our de-
signs. Z. p O'NEIL & Co.,

Crov,b of suburbnn ProDerty.

: Qhe old historical spot, Ft. Vance, lying
down on the P. Sc L. E. R. R., opposite
Neville's Island, will soon be thing of the
past. The desecrator has been at work, and
the scene is rapidly changing from one of
pastoral loveliness to the liHelier beauty OF
the suburban village. The Change is mar
velous. Three weeks ago, the passenger
on the train, looking out on the Montour
valley saw quiet farms just turning green,
and SO sleepy looking that one could scarce
imagine the place to be almost within the
outstretching arms of Pittsburg.
But all is changed. Such piece of land
could not lay forever in fallow fields while
crowded Pittsburgers were looking for
homes, and someone came to the front with
ability to convince the staid old farmers
that they had hung on to this property
with characteristic persistency just long
enough.
Had the farmer gone to sleep after sign
ing the deed and awakened yesterday, he
would have been paralyzed. In that time
laborers, graders, carpenters have been at
work, streets have been plowed, board
sidewalks laid, hills cut down, and in the
center nestles beautiful little station.
Thus Ivanhoe has come into existence,
with the promise of bright future, which
its natural beauty and convenience war
rants It has the best wishes of all who
must labor to purchase a rooftree for them
selves and little ones.

BUSY FLOWER DEALERS.

The Stores Crowded All Day Long With
POsey Loving Patrons.
The many flower stores in the city pre-
sented busy scene yesterday. Everybody
from the errand boy to the proprietor was
engaged in arranging bouquets. The flower
booths at the market houses were also very
plenteously supplied and largely patron
lied.
The Easter lily is the favorite, and no
bouquet is complete without one of these
beautiful blossoms The old German Gus
tom of presenting flowers on Easter has
taken a strong hold upon Americans, and
the displays in homes and churches will be
very lavish.
More money has been expended for flowers
this year than for any previous Easter Day.
Easter cards and souvenirs are also very
popular this wear.

WILL THEY WIDEN ITq

Diamond Street Ordinance Strikes snaE
in Comminee-It is Recommended
Though-Other ImrOvements.
The new Survey Committee of City Coun-
ellis met yesterday afternoon and organized
by electing R. B. Carnahan Chairman.'
The first motion passed by the committee
was reconsidered. 1t was with reference to
the Diamond alley ordinance. A motion
was made to refer the ordinance to Coun-
ellis afirmatively. This was amended, re-
ferring the matter to the City Attorney.
The amendment passed, but was afterward
reconsidered.
Mr.. Bigham was strongly opposed to the
ordinance going to Councils with an afirma-
tive, when less than one-fourth of the prop
erty owners on Diamond street had petit
toned for the improvement. The distance
from Smithfeld streetto Liberty avenue IS
LII feet. Those who have signed the
petition for the widening Of the street repre-
sent less than one-fourth of this frontage.
Mr.. Bingham wanted to refer the matter to
the City Attorney for the purpose of getting
information, and he made the motion that
was passed and subsequently reconsidered.
The matter was finally afirmatively re-
ported.
The other ordinances that were amrma-
lively recommended were:
Authorizing the vacation of Granite street,
between Wylie and Heron avenues; the Vaca-
tion of Mellon avenue, between Rural avenue
and Marguretta street; establishing grade OF
Desota street, from Fifth avenue to Anequlppa
street; relocating Emerson street. from Revena

A CLUBS BLIND CHARTER.
Robert Ray and Emma Miller Sell Liquor
Under il, and Suffer.

Robert Ray and Emma Miller, charged
with selling liquor at 553 Water street,
without license, were given a hearing before
Magistrate Gripp yesterday, and were each
held for court. At the hearing it trans
pired that the defendants had charge of a
chartered organization known as the Mo-
nongahela Gymnasium Club.
Detective Coulson, who made the arrest,
testified that there was no gymnasium about
the place, and that the charter was used as
a "blind," by which the liquor law was
violated
