been crying. What is the matter =" he
said suddenly. as he came closer and saw
the tears on her cheeks and IN her eyes.
To this Pauline vouchsafed no reply for
the all-sufficent reason that she had none;
Her eyes foil and scarlet wave rushed
over her face.

G00DBY, MR.. RAIN.
The Signal Observer Says. the Sun VIII
Shine as Usual To-Day.

The Signal Observer Says. the Sun VIII
Shine as Usual To-Day.
The rain which began yesterday morning
set in with sullen sort of splish-splash
which indicated determination to continue
for several days. The sky was leaden and
heavy, and it was the general opinion that
the fall rain had begun. For several days
j. Pluvius had been making spasmodic and
decidedly portentous struggles to get up a
real heavy rain, and people SAID yesterday
that he had finally got things started.
Many riverman or coal operator looked at
the sky and said, Here's the fall freshet
and that dam work down at the island ain t
done vet" Then he slammed the door and
went back to the fire.
All day long the rain came down, not
hard, but persistently. and after dark it be-
came heavier. and it certainly looked like
general storm. Up to II o'clock last night
the rainfall for the day had been two-ffths
of an inch. The weather bulletins last night
indicate, however, that the rain will not
last To-day, they say, the clouds will
break, and the sun may even shine. The
storm, which was yesterday central over
Pennsylvania, has moved to the New Eng
land States. A high barometer wave is
moving this way from the West The
weather to-day will be slightly cooler, and
perhaps decidedly cooler along the lakes.

No Longer In Doubt.

1t is no longer question but an absolute
fact that merit is a winner all the time.
Thrust an article of merchandise in the
open market and if it has not the qualities
claimed for il, it will live but little while.
Soon, yes very soon, the people will brand
il n. G. Not so, however, with the real
thing, but quite to the contrary. If it is
what it is claimed to be, that same public
will indorse it by continuing its purchases.
So it is with ''Klein's Silver Age Rye -
No better Endorsement can be obtained than
the continued sale to those who have been
using it for years. Doctors and hospitals
have tried it and are still using it, proof of
which, if wanted. can and will be furnished
aboundingly. Silver Age Rye being the
only displayed whisky at the Exposition is
another. proof of its fearless position as q
standard old and reliable stimulant. We
do not claim that it cures all diseases, but
we do know that it is an excellent remedy
for many. 1t is sold everywhere at 81 so

ing Pennsylvania rye whiskies, full quarts,

PITTsBURGERs NOT SLOW.

They Know a Good Thing When They See It.
We have great confidence in the practical
common sense of the people in this COM
munity. Propose to them new idea or
system of conducting any large enterprise,
and if it is good you can rest assured of their
support. No better evidence of the truth of
this statement is needed than the wonderful
success of the Everett Club, or cooperation
plan of selling pianos adopted by Alex.
Ross, Of Allegheny. This plan is simple,
but very effective. Mr.. Ross proposes to
conduct the piano business by making large
contracts for $50 pianos at one time, thus
getting the lowest possible cash price and
saving each member of the club at leas. SIS
in the price Of each piano, at the same i,ne
he gives everyone an opportunity to get a
fine piano. The plan is so arranged that
members can pay in the way most convenient
to themselves, from 81 week up to the
whole amount Since this plan has been
adopted Mr.. Ross has had to increase his
force Of employees six times, and they have
all they can do to supply the demand. The
system is good, and the people know it. All
that is necessary to convince anyone is to
examine the piano and understand the plan.

STREETS In BAD0DOR.
Bloomfeld's Highways Knee Deep in
Mud and Stagnant Pools.
CITIZENS PROTESTING IN VAIN.
Prevailing Contagious Diseases Traced to
This Cause Alone.
AN OUTBREAK OF SICKNESS EXPECTED

The deplorable condition of the Bloom
field streets is attributed to be the cause Of
the prevalence of diphtheria, scarlet fever
and other infectious diseases in that neigh
borhood. Many of the doctors living in the
Sixteenth ward state that there is rapid
diminution of diphtheria, yet they are fear
full that another outbreak of fever of more
virulent character will result after the rain
has ceased, and the warm weather returns
which generally follows continuous down.
pour. 1t doesn't make much difference
which street you walk on in Bloomfield,
they are all in filthy condition. The con-
trast between other suburban places around
Pittsburg and this section of the city is
grotesque. While in the neighborhood it
makes one think that he has been trans
lated few ages back. when mud and dirt
reigned supreme, and sanitary science was
thing to be discovered.
Upon every hand the residents are loudly
complaining of the city's apparent neglect.
Some of them go so far as to state that it is
criminal lassitude on the part of the city
authorities in treating the matter in such
light manner. They say that remonstrances,
both verbal and written, have been dunnlng
the ears of the ruling powers for several
years past to put the streets in proper con-
dition. They state that they are menace to
the health ofthe resident population, besides
being dangerous to foot and vehicle travel.
Pearl, Ella and Scioio streets are
two feet deep in mud and slush
after short rain. which makes it repulsive
to travel along these streets. At short dis
tances are deep ruts where the water lodges.
When the sun shines the water in the rut-
holes becomes stagnant, impregnating the
air with poisonous gases. The women and
children who are constantly breathing these
impure gases are attacked with various dis
eases, which have resulted in number of
Deaths
The accumulation of dirt on the streets
enumerated has raised them two feet higher
than they should be. The channels are
choked up, preventing proper drainage.
Indeed they are not drained through the
sewers at all; most of the water is absorbed
by the soil, and this is another evil which
the citizens complain about.
Quite large number of streets on the
west side of Liberty avenue are not graded,
yet the streets have been inhabited for
years. Many of the people in this vicinity
own their own property, and they are in
fix as to what course to adopt. They are
cognizant that their health is constantly
imperiled by the impurity of the air caused
by the bad odors arising from the unkempt
streets. They are mostly working people,
and cannot afford to sacrifice their property
and lose years of hard-earned wages.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

How Measures Were Sometimes Carried in
Pittsburg Couucils-A Man Held UpWhile
an Ordipsnce Passed.
1t would appear on examination that one
age is pretty much like another. and that 8
difference in methods is the only substantial
one. About 80 years ago Congress street,
from Franklin to Fifth avenue, then the
Fourth street road, was, in a wet time, a
dangerous mudhole, but many of the prop
erty holders were opposed to grading and
paving on the score of expense. Mr.. Whit.
ney had made several attempts to have il
paved, but, though he could get majority
of householders to sign a petition therefor,
the opposition knocked him out repeatedly
in Councils. John Rebman was then a
member of Council, and, living on the
street, decided to have it paved. He got
Whitney to get up petition, and his-Reb-
man's-work was to secure the passage of
the ordinance. The objectors had decided to
mass their forces, and bring all their
opposition to bear on Select Council. At
length the fsteful day arrived. The op-
position were all in Select Chamber. Reb-
man got the ordinance through the common
branch without much trouble, and had all
his friends in the upper house posted as to
the tactics to be pursued. By various
methods they succeeded in prolonging the
session of Select Council until the opponents
of the ordinance became convinced that it
would not be sprung, and scattered about
the building.
At an opportune moment the clerk of
Common Council rushed into Select Cham
Der with a bundle of matter for concurrence.
ha hoA CT o.
gled out, leaving only Councilman Samuel
Morrow on that side. Rebman got close to
Morrow and before the latter could get in
an objection, which would have thrown the
matter back a month, Rebman, with his
dukes up, quietly informed Mr.. Morrow
that if he did not sit down
quietly and let the ordinance pass, he (Reb-
mani would knock him down. Morrow be-
came very indignant, but Rebman kept him
so engaged that motion to concur was put
and carried by a bare majority before the
whippers-in could rally their forces. Reb-
man succeeded in having the work begun
before the opposition could again centralize,
and before the next meeting of Councils
some of the objectors were converted. His
tory does not saw whether or not they were
convinced oy the method applied to MIR.
Morrow, but it is certain that when the
work was finished it sprang into popularity
at once.
Since 1860 the methods of lobbyists and
politicians have been subEmated. For in
stance, it has been found perfectly feasible
in some parts of the South to accomplish
political results by means of tissue ballots,
etc., and the shotgun is laid aside as cum
brous and unreliable. If every time street
improvement is to be made in this city it
were necessary to use the Rebman method,
few except athletes would care to serve as
Councilman. In such case 3 few John L.
Sullivans would have the roost all to them
selves
