CATARRH.
Catarrhal Dtafness-Hay Fever-A New
Homo Treatment.


Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due 10 the presence Of living parasites
In the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, HAY Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay

Opening on Monday.

Mr.. Schoenthal, formerly and for many
years with Mr.. NJ. II. Danziger, has estab-
lished himself at 612 Penn avenue, Hotel
Anderson building, and will on Monday,
April 8, open one of the coziest stores in
this city.
Mr.. Schoenthal will carry full line of
ladies fine furnishings, making a speciality
of corsets, gloves, hosiery and underwear.
A special feature of the corset department
will be a convenient fitting room, affording
ladies an opportunity to try on before pur-
chasing, avoiding the trouble and annoy
ance of exchanging. Ladies who wish can
have the corset fitted by an experienced lady
filter, in this manner obtaining the particu-
lar corset best suited to the form. No abso-
lutely cheap goods will be carried, but the
range of prices and qualities will be large
enough to satisfy the most economically in
clined. In gloves Mr.. Schoenthal will carry a
full line for ladies, misses and children in
fine and medium grades only. Determined
to sell only such goods as Mr.. Schoenthal
can guarantee, he will ignore those grades
usually sold as bargains. The Hosiery De-
partment will contain all the latest novel
ties in fancies and a complete line of the
celebrated Onyx fast black. Mr.. Schoen-
thal's patrons will find low-priced goods in
his establishment, but no so-called cheap
ones.
In addition to the above items Mr.. Schoen-
thai will carry full line of muslin and
fabric underwear. handkerchief, collars
and cuffs, ruchings, neckwear, jewelry, fans,
umbrellas, veilings and many other special
ties and novelties for ladies and children's
wear.
The grand opening of this store will take
place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
April 8, 9 and 10, and the ladies of Pitts
burg and Allegheny are invited to give
Mr.. Schoenthal call.

The following conversation was uninten-
tionally overheard by me in the lobby of
the Ebbitt House the other evening. A
Western Office seeker who had formerly
lived East, met a friend, also an office
hunter, from their old town. After a
mutual inquiry about their own families,
the Westerner began to speak of other old
acquaintance who were local politicians.
"HOw's Smith?"
ooh, he's dead"
"And Brown"
"He's dead too"
"My! my! that's too badl And how's old
Jones? I don't think he would die"
"He was killed in an election row last
November"
"Great Scottl What's broke loose in the
old town." Then, somewhat cautiously:
"Well, how's-how's T-T-Thompson?
'Oh, he committed suicide two years ago
on account of his not getting office under
Cleveland. He was great Democrat, you
know"
"-I think I'll go to bed," said the
Westerner; somehow don't feel we'll my
self"

A Busted Omca Seeker.

grieve to say that one Office hunter from
my own parental State of Pennsylvania is
now suffering from too much confidence in
his ability to close the eyes of hotel clerks.
He is victim of the last administration.
He endeavored to become a Democrat 50
quietly as to prevent discovery after re-
movals began in his department, but unlike
many others whom know, he was caught
in the act and unceremoniously fired. He
endeavored to get reinstated by complete
flop to the party in office, but there were too
many lifelong Democrats, each of whom
had elected Cleveland, wanting places, and
so he failed. Alter the 9Th of last November
he was suddenly seized with renewal of
Republicanism of the most dangerous kind,
and was again an office-seeker.
Within the last few weeks he exhausted
his small remnant of funds The hotel
clerk seemed to know to cent the condi-
tion Of his purse, and at once shut down the
foodgates upon his brooklet of sympathy
and good-fellowship. The office seeker left
one trunk as security for weeks unpaid
board took his other trunk and his grip
sack to a cheaper hotel, pawned few
trinkets he vet had saved from the clutches
of that other ''uncle" who is even more in
exorable than Uncle Sam, and took a new
lease of Office hunting life. But, alasl he is
again gone broke, his trunk and grip are
levied upon by the second hotel keeper, and
the Office hunter is now eking out living
on what he can borrow. He is living with
profound economy. His case is hard one,
and has my deepest sympathy, but that
sympathy is somewhat tempered by the fact
that he endeavored to make merchandise of
his party principles, admitting that he had
a fair share of this marketable commodity
to begin with.

The Death of James Gallery.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors Of
the City Insurance Company, of the city of
Pittsburg, held April 3, 1889, action was
taken upon the sudden demise of James Cal
lery, as follows:
1t is with the deepest feeling of sorrow
that we learn that Almighty God has in His
wisdom removed from our midst one of our
fellow-members, James Gallery. In his
death we feel that the City Insurance Com
pany has lost an efficient officer and one of
its most valued supporters, aad that we and
the community will miss a noble and gener-
GUS friend and good citizen. In him we
recognize man of the most sterling quail
ties, and Christian gentleman whose vir-
tues we will do well to emulate. To lis
family we tender our warmest sympathy in
their bereavement, and as a further mark of
our respect we will attend his funeral in q
body. M. MUNHALL, President.

In Memoriam.

At meeting of the Board Of Directors of
the City Savings Bank of Pittsburg, held
Friday, April 8, 1889, the following minute
was unanimously adopted:
The announcement of the sudden death of
james Gallery, President of the City Saw
ings Bank, startled this community this
morning, and none received the sad intelli-
gence with more profound sorrow than did
his fellow directors of this bank, which, as
director and President, he has served so
faithfully and efficiently for the past Is
years.
We, therefore, desire to place on record
some testimony, however brief, of the regard
and esteem which many years of intimate
business intercourse have inspired in us,
and which will forever surround his mem
ory.
While his removal is. loss, hardly re-
parable to us in many ways, foremost of
these is the feeling of personal deprivation,
which at this moment far exceeds all lesser
and more selfish sentiments We tender
our sympathies to his bereaved family and
will attend upon the last sad rites whereby
we can attest our appreciation of his worth;
and instruct this minute to be entered upon
the permanent records of the City
Savings Bank as the best means of perpetu-
ating to our successors the memory of this
President to whose influence and energy the
bank is so largely indebted.

across. The chief industries are shoemak-
ing, onion raising and matchmaking. When
Cousin Dave was here he.talked about his
farm, and I supposed he had some land
worth counting. Well he has only 20acres
and half of that he plants with onions. It's
the same way with the other farmers in the
neighborhood, and five and ten acre lots of
onions are as asplentiful as cornfelds at home.
Every man that is not farmer-I mean an
onion raiser-is shoemaker, and works in
one of the big factories in the village. The
factories employ about twice as many girls
and women as they do men, and this proper
tion of feminine population seems to hold
good all over the town. Factory work is
hard for girls, and they tire of it after
year or two and jump at the first offer of
marriage, in order to escape from their
drudgery. Some of them don't even wait
for an offer to be made BY the man in the
case, but make tender of their hands and
hearts, if they think there is a possibility of
being accepted. There is a scarcity of,
beaux and tremendous surplus of women
OF manageable age (and past), and any
single stranger of the opposite sex is an OBJ
ject of universal interest.
Boys and girls begin courting at the age
OF 10 and marriages among minors are al
most as common as any other. The pre-
vailing craze for husbands is so great that 1.
hired man and almost penniless, at Is
years of age, could have my pick of any
one of dozen likely girls Now don't say
I'm getting conceited-the idea didn't come
to me until Aunt Mandy used the words
have quoted. She says so, and it must be
true; tor what she doesn't know about mat
tters OF that sort is certainly not worth know
ing. She astonished me by informing ME
that 1t was time for me to think of getting
married: Such thought never entered my
mead before. But, as said, Sagawam peo-
pie are peculiar.
Ii Edward had been much acquainted
with Eastern Massachusetts, he would have
known that there are scores of country
villages In thatregion whose inhabitants ex-
mott exactly the same traits ofcharacter thar

such reputation was by no
means easily acquired, nor devoid of
honor when established. Aunt Mandy had
fairly earned her position, and her matri-
monial agency was one OF the recognized in
stitutions of the village. Her sisters hus-
band, Dave Martina big man with boy
ish heart and a streak of humor running en-
tirely through his system, from his funny
waddling legs up to the dimple in his chin
and beyond even to the thin tuft of light
hair that stood straight up in front of the
bald spot on the crown of his head-this
overgrown, eccentric fellow, vino resembled
nothing so much as fat and gigantic baby
that was never fretful, was wont to make
fun of Mandy and her occupation. But he
was the only person who dared to do it, and
Mandy didn't mind, because Dave had a
habit of making fun of everybody. Once
he painted board, making a neat sign,
with the following inscription:

in the other evening to alecture delivered
under its auspices by Prof. Garside, the Of
fetal lecturer of the Socialist Labor Party.
Grand Army Hall was crowded to suf-
location. One of the most proml-
nent drug dealers of the city was
keeping door, and I noticed many
other well known business men
all of whom listened and applauded hearth
ly. II was remarkable scene, and one
which almost prompted belief in the asser-
tion of Prof. Garside, that Americans are
being converted to this theory of universal
industrial cooperation at the rate of 30, 900
a month. Another class of co-operationists
are just now organizing to start for Okla
homa on the Goth inst, to found colony,
but these isolated experiments in co-opera-
tion, which must always be hampered and
bounded by the competitive. capitalist sys-
tenn outside, find no favor with the nation
alists and other socialists, whose ambition
is to establish new national and inter-
national system, and not merely strive for
temporary relief for few. E. W. L.
