No. | don't think she was sue

II see no reason why she shouldn't.
She is quick and apt to acquire knowl-
edge, she has good memory, is care
full in making her measures and can
certainly mix the pills, powders or So

The croak OF the frog sonorous,
Down in ITS sedgy lair,
Accompanied by the tink, tink, t'nE

Tie chirp OF the rowdy cricket,
And the Fastening shadows OF gloarn,
BespealS the hour of Jenny's tryst-
Time when the cows come home.
Down where the orchard blossoms
Distil their perfume sweet,
She sits in the gathering shadows
And builds in her hearts retreat
A castle of silver towers,

Whose lwinkling stars are bold.
Down from the pebbly roadway
He steps with a step that's gay
Her lover fair, with the ruddy cheek
And eyes as open as day.
His hats a-slouch and dusty,
His shoes clay-stained, nor new
But his kiss is as sweet as the fragrance OF
The rose that's stepped in dew.
They sit in the quiet evening,
Erecting plans in air,
While the rowdy cricket and lizard spell
The frog in its sedgy liar.

NO CAUSE FOR THE FIRE.
The Loss TO the Westinghouse Plant Won
be More Than $4,000.

The Loss to the Westinghouse Plant Won't
be More Than $4,000.
The origin of the Westinghouse fire can
not be ascertained,
The company has number of heavy
orders on hand at the present time, and had
the operations of the works been suspended
loss amounting away up in the hundreds
of thousands would have been sustained by
the company. Machinery for 80 electric
light plants with capacity for 81, ,150 in
candescent lights, were being constructed. Be
sides this the company was making machin-
cry for the Allegheny City light plant, for
the 80, 1000 light plant in London, England,
and for numerous electric shops, now being
erected in London.
Some reflections have been called forth by
the fire, and one of them by Inspector Nc
Aleese is that some arrangement should be
made in the future to raise the hose up
which may happen to cross our tracks on
forks, SO that the street cars may not be de-
layed for hours as they were last night.
j. D. Reno, of Reno & Johns, the firm
that insured the Westinghouse electric
light plant, said yesterday, that he did not
think the loss from the fire would be more
than $40, 900, if, indeed, it will reach $780,
600. He denies that the fire originated
from cross wires. No wires were attached
to the building at the time. for within the
last week he has been making an examina-
ton of the structure and the wires-were cut.
He says too, that the company will not
move to Wilmerding, for the reason that the
officers in charge of that matter are not in

Measures Begun Toward n More Perfect
Union and Higher Wages.
There was an open meeting of molders Of
Pittsburg and vicinity in Imperial Hall,
corner Of Seventh avenue and Grant street,
last night of all the craft irrespective of or
ganization. The object was to form more
perfect organization that is to weld all the
different bodies of molders together so as to
move in solid phalanx. The speeches were
spirited but not hostile. Their tenor was
that acting separately they could not work
effectively for the common good no matter
how perfect their organization.
The speakers had evidently been making
extended inquiries into the state of trade
generally, for they had information on the
subject as general in its scope. and at the
same time as explicit as the reports of Brad
streets or Dun's Commercial Agencies. 1t
was stated that there wasn't an idle molder
in the country unless it might be one that
didn't want work, and that on the Pacific
coast none were working for less than So 30
per day.

The members of the new Lincoln School
Board did not receive their commissions
from the Clerk of the Courts yesterday, and,
therefore, could not meet last evening. 1t
was stated to reporter by a well-posted
citizen of the Nineteenth ward that there
was no great haste needed in the matter, as
the vacant place is supplied by a reserve
teacher. There are no Catholics on the new
board. Messrs. Aull and Jefreys are Meth
odists; Messrs. Kirker, Van Wagner and
Roessing, Presbyterians. 1t could not GER
tainly be learned to what denomination Mr..
Dinger belongs, but it is believed that he is
a Presbyterian. Five members of the new
board are Republicans, Mr.. Roessing being
the only Democrat. All the gentlemen are
owners of property in the Nineteenth wprd,
and have not meddled in politics. Their
regulations are most excellent as representa-
tive men of the ward.
1t appears that the election of Miss Gard
ner to a position in the Allegheny Ninth
ward school has not removed her from the
Lincoln school contest. 1t is said on ex-
cellent authority that Miss Gardner willnot
accept the Allegheny position.

NEW TRAINING ANNEX
The Homeopathic Hospital Will Con-

VIM. rHAW's BEouBsr TO BE INVESTED

The Homeopathic Hospital, on Second

built on the north side of the main structure
at acost of $40, 900. 1t was circulated in the
city Yesterday that Mr.. William Thaw's
bequest, when received, would be appro-
priated for this purpose. 1t has been de-
cided, however. by the hospital authorities
to place the latter money which the Fidelity
Title and Trust Company. The hospital
has already invested over $4,000 with this
company, and the $4,000 left by the late
philanthropist will give them capital OF
$37, 900.
The new annex when built will be used
for training school and home for nurses
The building will contain on the lower
floor lecture room, large drawing, dining
and reception rooms and kitchen On the
upper floor will be dormitories, bathrooms,
lavatories and linen closets The place will
be replete with all the latest Improvements
so as to make it attractive and home like.

lighted with electricity. In an interview

desirous of one. There are q nurses now
who are under instruction. Most of these
nurses are used in the hospital. Our Inn

tanned whether lady has the capacity and

in that length of time we discover any
quality which shows wavering or nervous
disposition, we are obliged to dismiss them
from the establishment. After the month
expires the nurses are vigorously schooled in

they witness are minutely explained to
them. Every kind Of disease that comes
into the hospital they must attend to. It

HEAVY STEEL OUTPUT
The Furnaces at the Black Diamond
Break the Previous Record.
CHARGES RUN INTO THE MILLIONS.
Molders Hold Meeting to Perfect Their
Organization.
NO ADVANCE IN COKE ANTICIPATED

The output of open hearth steel in the
Black Diamond Steel Works was unusually
large last week. There are two Sieman and
five Lash furnaces in the mill.
The No. and No. 2 Sieman furnaces
were charged with $40, 900 pounds of metal.
which includes pig metal. crop ends and
scrap. Out of this charge there was net
output of steel ingots weighing $4,000
pounds. Between the gross and the net
weights a loss is shown of 56, 900 pounds.
This loss is accounted for by the accumula-
tions of dirt in the rough metal. The dirt
melIs like the steel, and floats on the sur
face Of the steel in the furnace. Both steel
and Stag are tapped into the ladle from the
furnace. The Stag being lighter, than the
steel, floats on the surface and enables the
furnace men to TEEN the heat into the
molds without a single ounce of Stag mix
ing with it.
SOME HEAVY CHARGES.
The five Lash furnaces each of them able
to hold $1,000 pounds of metal, received q
total charge of $500, GOO pounds. The net
output from this charge was 3,12O, 900
pounds of good steel ingots. The waste be-
tween the gross charge and net output was
18O, 900 pounds, accounted for as before.
The total charges in all the furnaces at this
mill last week were 4, 140, 900 pounds. The
net output was 1904, 900 pounds, and the
loss 236, 900 pounds. In accounting for the
loss between the gross charge and the net
output, per cent of the metal evaporates
through the stack.
This department now gives employment
to many thousand men. No part of the
Laa-kb
The two largest plants belong to Park Bros.
Black Diamond Steel Works and Carnegie's
at Homestead. The Black Diamond steel
plant is under the able supervision of Mr..
Thomas Carrier. He has most successfully
filled nearly all the great Government
orders for armour plate steel.
HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY.
Few people recognize how important the
open hearth steel industry has become with
in the last few years. The business has
only completed its majority. 1t was first
introduced into America by Cooper Ewart
& Co., of Trenton, N. j., in 1867. The
process was patented by DIR. Sieman, who
had but few years previous discovered the
method of making it at his celebrated mill
near Swansea, South Wales.
Singer, Nimick & Co. have the honor of
putting up the first plant in Pittsburg in
the year following its introduction in this
country. They erected Atom furnace,
which ran on single turn, in 1868, making
six heats a week, with total charge of "a
tons, and net output of 20 tons. To run
this first plant, only eight men were en-
ployed. These figures, as compared with
the figures of to-day, are startling. The big
strides this industry has taken is marvel
to the world. Open hearth steel is displac-
ing iron on every hand. In durability and
adaptability it far excels iron.

GREAT MUSICAL ATTRACTION.
KIeber & Bro. Lend as Usual.

No person posted in musical matters will
buy costly article, such as piano or an
organ, except from an old established and
well known house such as II. Kleber &
Bro. The Klebers are practically educated
musicians who have grown up with the old
standard piano men. They know their good
and their bad points, and have picked out
the best of them all for their own business,
leaving the Indifferent and poor instruments
to be dealt in by others less fortunate than
themselves. Who would compare aSteinway
or a Conover or an Opera or Gabler piano
with any other make? Or the grand
Vocation church organ, or the lovely
Burdett organ? The great advantage the
Klebers possess is that people put the fullest
trust in their honesty and reliability. They
have sold instr uments for the last half cen
tYry, and in most cases the choice is left
altogether in the hands of Mr.. Kleber.
Purchasers know absolutely that they are
safe in his hands; that prices are the lowest
possible, and terms easy and accommodate
