GIVE THE LADIES A SHOW.
Suggested Thnf the Exposition Board En-.
courage EducationJ Also. That tht
Women Wnnf 10 Be Henrd.

Suggested Tint the Exposition Board En-
courage Education, Also, That the
Women Want TO Be Heard.
A suggestion was made yesterday by a
public-spirited citizen, relative to tocombining
some features not vet tried with the plans
heretofore involved, to make the Exposition
success.
He suggests in the first place, that room
be set apart for an educational exhibit of the
public schools of the. city, as was done at
the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
1t is argued that the object OF an Exposl-
ton is as much educational as financial,
and that to make the educational depart
ment success, school boards would be justl-
fed in levying taxes sufficient to raise say
S10O in each ward. which would give IS, 600
annually, and not be felt as burden, when
all pupils of the public schools would De
benefciaries. He also stated that the Cen
trail Board might add somewhat to the funo.
Another project urged by the same man
was woman's movement. He referred TO
the one that did so much work for the
Sanitary Commission during the war. de
argued that women had shown that their ca
pacity for getting shekels for religious and
patriotic purposes was greater than that OF
men.
They have a way of making people con-
tribute willingly and literally that men
cannot cannot hope to make successful, and
he thought that the feminine mind might be
as enthusiastically enlisted in this matter
as any other. So far they have been al
lowed to contribute, but have not been
asked to share in the glory of an enterprise
to which they are as much entitled as men.
The suggestions seem worth attention, for
there is no doubt that woman's genius
might succeed where mans effort would be
futile. They may not take so much inter-
est in productions of iron mills and furnaces
as men, but an exposition to be success
must combine with such exhibits works of
art, textile fabrics and general household
conveniences and adornments, which draw
more women than the first named do men.

ONLY A NEwsIEs' TRICK.
Why a Disgusted Proprietor Hesitated to
Offend Customers.


Offend Customers.
A DISPATCH reporter was standing in
one of the shooting galleries yesterday when
snap went whip, as the proprietor. draw
ing out big buggy whip from under the
counter, made lunge for half dozen news
boys who were slyly holding confab
around the stove.
As they scooted out the door, like rats
through hole, the proprietor said, ''Those
poor little cusses give me more bother than
1 can tell you, but they're smarter than a
whip. Just wait q moment and see what
they'll do"
As he spoke little shaver peeked out
from behind the stove and whispered shine,
mister?"
In another moment in marched seven,
each with cent in his hand, and demanded
q cigarette, and resumed their pow WOW by
the stove, putting away with might and
main. The proprietor made another lunge,
when one little chap stepped out and,
striking a theatrical attitude, said to those
in the gallery, Gentlemen, see here; is this
right; is this the way to treat customers
what spends their money in his store fer
him and his family to live on?'
The proprietor smiled and put up his whip
under such argument and the newsies
warmed to their hearts content until their
cigarettes had gone out and they were Gus
toners no more, and then marched out with
a triumphant air.

DISCIPLES OF GEORGE
Seeking for n Solution of the Land Question
in the Single Tax Idea.

Seeking for n Solution of the Land Question
in the Single Tax Idea.
The single tax idea of Henry George is
gaining ground in Pittsburg. A club call
ing itself the "Single Tax League of Pitts
burg" is similar to those existing in other
cities at present.
Two preceding societies of this nature,
organized on the Southside in the course of
a year, have failed, but this one seems to
have little more vitality. 1t contains
about 100 members
Its members are all enthusiasts over
Henry Georges land theory. The general
impression Of the members seems to be shat
the subject is not sufficiently understood by
the public at large, and they propose to
bring the matter before the people in Its
true light, and irrespective OF party ties or
prejudices.
Some of the members express themselves
freely and say the single tax is bound to
come in the course of time, especially in
this city, which has so great future before
it, and that looking at it from political
view it would seem that if some great party
does not espouse the cause a new party will
be formed.

THE ALIEN BILL.
1t Would Not Affect the Denny Heirs, but
Mrs. Schenley VIII Lose.

1t Would Not Affect the Denny Heirs, but
Mrs. Schenley VIII Lose.
When Mr.. VIM. F. Aull, the agent of the
Denny estate was asked yesterday how he
thought the bill referring to the fact that all
lands Of aliens, non-residents or foreign cor
porations should revert to the Common
wealth would affect the Denny heirs, he
said:
at would not affect them at all, simply
because all the Denny heirs are residents of
this country and always have been There
are altogether 13 heirs to the estate, and of
these, eight live in Pittsburg and have done
so all their lives.
Then there are two residing in Boston,
two in New York and one in Princeton,
n. j.
The agent Of the Schenley estate would
have nothing to say on the subject, how
ever, because, he said, the bill is not passed
yet There is no doubt of the fact though
that the passage of the bill would not please
Mrs. Schenley, because she has not been
living in Pitsburg for nearly 80 years and
her husband is an English captain.

"Something Wrong With This Wire, Central"

In order to ascertain whether the blood
was all driven out of the ear by the tight
receiver and the consequent development Of
the ear arrested, her left auricle was gently
squeezed, and the blood flew from it in an
instant, queerly enough, however. it all
lodged in her cheeks.
As the interviewer was of scientific and
investigating turn of mind, he expressed a
desire to pinch her cheeks and see if the
blood would flow back into her ear again.
This, however, was mildly objected to by
pale bookkeeper who had been content to
gaze at those cheeks, and had never arisen
to the dignity of pinching them; objection
carried.
In conclusion, the fear, and almost panic
spread among the eastern telephone girls.
is almost groundless; their ears are all right;
none better, and as tor their posterity, none
safer.

Are generally what people want and inquire
after when about to make an investment or
purchase. A piano or organ has ceased to
be a luxury, as almost every house has one

line, and not at high prices, but at price
and on such terms that all can be accommo-

but make a selection that will be satisfac-
tory both in price and terms. Don't fail to
come in. S. HAMILTON,

justified This woman came along in a yery
sick state, ana asked the men in the stable to
take her in, which they did for the sake of
humanity. Then, when she had been taken to
the station house, and there died, the men were
arrested.

THE FLORAL QUEEN.
1t is Still the Rose Although the Orchid
Runs Hard Race.

For floral culture the past year has been
a most remarkable one. While from pure
business point of view, it has been an un-
exceptionally good one, the fact deserves
also to be chronicled, that one species Of
plants which were hitherto comparatively
unknown have now become general favor
ties.
This flower is the orchid Until a very
short time ago orchids were only known
as very rare, peculiar, and costly plants
collected by the flower fanciers of the world.
But that is changed now. There are end
less varieties of orchids in the market now,
and while they are still very expensive.
thev are also admired and bought for their
oddity, and Pittsburg is buying more of
them every day.
But the rose remains universally the
favorite, and that flower is now the same
as ever, the floral queen of the ball room.
