wonderful Show Friday Evening.

The exhibition of the Iron City Micro
scopical Society at City Hall, Friday, April
II, at P. M, will be one of the most re-
markable exhibits ever shown in this city.
The insight into the invisible things of ma
ture, as shown by the 80 microscopes, will
be one that rarely falls to the lot of anyone,
and will cause many an exclamation ol
wonder and delight. The 60 cases of butter
flies, etc., will be dazzling show of beauty
and rarity; and the lantern will show a
as large as an elephants. Alarge audience
should attend, when the admission is only
5Oc, and the cause such a worthy one, being
to raise funds for the increase of the society

The Company in Better Shape Than Ever
New Wells Coming In.
At yesterdays monthly meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Philadelphia
Company the forty-second dividend of 1 per
cent was declared.
On May the annual meeting to elect officers
will take place. AS far as can be foreseen
there will not be any change. A gentleman
prominently connected with the company said
yesterday:
The Philadelphia Company is now in a better
condition than ever it was before, and stock.
holders begin to realize that they could not
have had better management. The line Is
now in such shape that a complaint from any
where is looked upon as a novelty
SIT is probable that, at the next meeting, it
will be decided to lay new line from Belle
vernon to the city. The company is at present
occupied there drilling wells, which may be
brought in at the latter part of this week."

REV. J. M. MILES PITCHES IN.

Prohibition.

The quarterly meeting of the Bingham
street M. E. Church, Southside, was opened
last night with lecture by the Rev. ]. w.
Miles, A. NJ, who spoke upon the subject,
THE Cause, Curse and Cure of Intemperance."
The gentleman said the friends of liquor
claimed for it everything except the truth. He
said if St. Paul had stated that strong drink
money" he would have been quite correct He
characterized drink as a relic of barbarism and
a twin of slavery; a slaughterer of life worse
than all the casualties multiplied; something
into him; feeder upon paupers and feeder of
pauperism; destroyer of human life, and a
foe to the genius of national life, which can
only be remedied by prohibition, pure and
simple

A NEW BRIDGE NEEDED.
Stockholders of the Suspension Opposed to
the Cable Road,

stockholders oil the suspension opposed TO
the Cable Road.
W. Hildenbrand, the engineer who ex-
amined the Sixth street bridge last fall, was
in the city yesterday. Mr.. Hildenbrand
said that it was the intention of the company
to brace the bridge this summer, but the ma
jority of the stockholders were opposed to it
now. They also object to a cable road being
laid on the bridge, as was originally intended.
The bridge company is satisfied with the
present revenues, and does not think cable
road across it would increase them.
The prospects now are that the Manchester
street car line will be the one to build that
new bridge close to the present one to accom-
modate the cable road only. Mr.. Hildenbrand
had talked with some of those interested and
this was the idea conveyed.

very ridiculous to sickle for precise
number of votes in a case like this.
Vixen Mr.. Blaine wanted to be Presi-
dent and there were / 100 votes against
him in New York the Republicans, and
Mr.. Blaine too, thought it very ridiculous
that Cleveland should claim New York
ON a narrow majority like that. Blaine
knew that the country wanted him and
that New York should have given him
a majority. In fact he believes to this
day that there was mistake in the
count. But Cleveland was sworn in.
Little things like these are very annoying,
but still they cannot be helped some,

The only thing TO be done now, is Il
use the IA, 900 votes as starting point
and raise the number for a new call thai
will be unquestionable. Those who try t,
force call on the minority vote of 1888,
are not the true friends Of a new con
stitution, of the old constitution, or of an,
constitution whatever. They are guideC
by some mysterious jugglery of words

are not safe. They are worse than PERM

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.

The Democrats are serene. This ad-
ministration is not their funeral, though
they do intend to see ii decently buried
in 1892.
The Democrats are not responsible for
the choice Of a small man when Allison,
Sherman and even greater man, Ores
ham, we're left. Judge Gresham was
from Indiana too, and was advocated by
the great state of Illinois.
The only marked characteristics of
President Harrison are inexperience and
self-esteem.
The Vice President was recommended
and chosen because Of his large subscrip-
tion to the campaign fund. The contest
was between him and w. w. Phelps, an
other millionaire. and was entirely a
pecuniary contest. Ability and fitness
were not considered.
After canvas of bribery and corrup-
tion unexampled in the history Of the
world, this Doodle oked pair became the
President and Vice President. Frauds
and purchases were notorious in New
York and Indiana. The goods having
been delivered then came the division.
Blaine had dictated the nomination, and
through Foraker's treachery and bargains
with others, his friend Elkins secured d
promise from Harrison which neither
Sherman, Allison nor Gresham would
make. That gave him the premiership
The bargains compromises, deals, claimf
and pulls by which the other millionaire'
foisted themselves into the Cabinet ar,
too recent to need special mention, just
now. II is sufficient to know that
Wanamaker, Window and Proctor arr
there. They are not there for statesman
ship or experience in public affairs
Some of the affairs are so private indee,
that all of the records have beel
burned
For this kind Of work the Democrat
have a supreme contempt, They do nc
desire to run the government ON tn
doodle" plan. They offer lower take,
an economic and honest administration
They have neither the money nor tn
disposition to purchase the Presidency
They belong TO the majority q
the people against the presen
administration and they know that tn
country is safe. Hence, with seren
confidence in their ability to block th
"boodlerism, they can look at the spec
tacle presented to an astonished country
and await the developments which ar
sure 60 come. This is not their funeral
