,PRIME CHR1sTMAs BEEF..
LIE. BeIl.1eIn,. Big show.

IN THE ALLEGHENY MARKET, STALLS
35, 81 AND SO.
Every year for many years at this festive
season Mr.. Beilstein has been the first to
make special arrangements to show some of
the finest beef that can be had in the world.
As usual, his stalls will be decorated and
supplied with beef and other meats suitable
to the occasion.
Two magnificent animals were slaughtered
3 day or two since, and they have turned
out to be some of the finest specimens ever
handled by Mr.. Beilstein. Their united
weight before being killed was over 4, 900
pounds. and the meat, though finer than the
usual run, will be dispensed at the usual
market price. On Tuesday morning, the
oath inst, on Christmas Day, and continu-
ing all through the week, this special line
will be exposed for sale.
Besides the prime beef he has prepared
some extra fine South Down mutton, and all
kinds of other meat suitable for holiday
feasting, including roasting pigs.
10 the lovers of good beef this chance
offers special opportunities which, as it
occurs only once year, will be highly ap-
preciated.
the shcw in itself is picture and all are
invited 10 come and see it whether they buy
or not.
It is fair to infer that the temptation to
buy will be great and very few will leave
without obtaining a souvenir of the occa-

THE NEwsBoYs' HOME.
Its Aims and WHAT II Doe..


The question has been asked several times
within the last week where and what is the
Newsboys' Home? SO one of the managers
makes the following statement:
The Newsboys' Home is an institution
first established by Mr.. Thomas P. Druitt,
at Is Old avenue, Pittsburg, about two
years ago, and through his efforts some OF
our good, charitable people have taken hold
of the institution, and are endeavoring to
maintain a comfortable home and school for
the poor, unfortunate boys who have no
home or friends to look after and guide
them. -- -
The Newsboys' Home Association have
now charter and Board of Directors and
Managers, made up of weIl-known good
citizens, who have realized the need these
poor boys have for assistance.
The portion Of the building Used for the
Home is the second and third floors, The
second floor being the school room and play
room for the boys the third floor is divided
into kitchen, superintendent's room and
dormitory, three bathrooms and washroom.
The kitchen is large enough to be used as
dining room. The dormitory is a large. we'll
lighted and well-ventilated room in which
there are 20 cots with comfortable mattress
and plenty of good clean bed-clothing to
each. The building is heated with natural
gas, and kept at comfortable temperature
at all times.
A superintendent, cook and house girl are
employed by the managers to look after the
Home.
The table is supplied with good, we'll
cooked and substantial food. The dormitorv
and beds are Kept clean and neat The dav
school is in session from 10 A. M. until 2 P.
M. and is provided with a competent
teacher to instruct the boys. In the Sunday
school, which is held every Sunday after
noon, number of ladies interested in the
Home nave classes.
The managers and superintendent look
after the boys almost as closely as parents
would do. They instruct them as to how
they should conduct themselves, and en-
deavor to get them employment and chances
to learn useful trade and to save their
money. Some of the boys have been in the
Home for the past two years, and have been
benefited by it. They now have good
situations learning trade. or are in bust
ness. The boys are taught that to live they
must work. Each boy is required to pay to
the superintendent 81 30 per week board,
which includes boarding and washing.
IF in case of sickness or from any other
good cause a, boy is unable to pay his board
ing he is given a reasonable time in which
to make up his debt.
Boys who will not work are not permitted |
to remain in the Home. The managers are
well pleased with the success they have had |
in conducting the Home, and feel that, with
a little assistance from the public, in a short
time they can have much larger and better
Home for the poor boys. 1t is for this insti-
tuition that the ladies are now getting up the
Christmas pantomimes to be given at the
BJou Tbeater on the 26th and 9th instant.
The entertainment itself will be one we'll |
worth the price, and should be well patron |
lied to help the poor newsies.

George Ordman, the representative of the
Gamewell Company, when in Pittsburg,
suggested a number of other Improvements
which Pittsburg could possess. The immense
pressure of the nstural gas would admit Of
the working of a police whistle in con-
nection with the fash light and sending a
message, as well as giving q light caution
and relieving the average policeman of the
laborious task of blowing his own horn.
The same code would answer for the
semaphone as that in use in the United
States army by making the arms work in
dependently on the %, 2112, 221 principle.
This, however. is TO be further along in
case Of riot or uprising of any kind, in
which case the semaphone would be used in
placing the skirmishers, as well as the re-
serves, or ra,lying the forces at any given
point. When the Sergeant in charge of the
squad is not posted, which is improbable,
ali he has TO know when he sees a pair of
red arms waving around like an insane
windmill that he is wanted at that particular
place.
In the Central station, of course, a small
gong will be put up similar to those in the
The patral boxes, and when Inspector Nc
Aleese is the recipient Of a message like the
following off goes an official head.

This is calculated to elevate the educs-
tional standard of the police, and it will not
be long before each patrol box will be sup
piled with key and sounder, and flashes of
intelligence will course all through the
Gamewell system, propelled by this array
of educated cops. The club will be buried,
and logic and law take its place in inducing
the Old avenue first families to take up a
temporary residence in the Hotel de Brown,
and the soft pleadings of TRULY Shaul, as
he convinces the population of that locality
of the error of its ways, will take the place
Of the DOnnybrook Fair arguments hereto
fore IN vogue. Then will Chief Brown, in
his stern manner, call up Inspector Nc
Kelvey, of the Southside, and the following
interesting colloquy will result:

BURYING THE WIRES.
New York Will Get hid of Her Un-
slightly Telegraph Poles.

New York, April 16.-It is expected
the Department of Public Works will
some time to-day proceed to remove the
overhead telegraph, telephone and elec-
tric light wires to force compliance with
the law requiring them to be laid under
ground. It is expected there viii, be no
electric lights in the streets or buildings
tonight. Up to 10 80 this morning the
Department was waiting for an order
from the Mayor to begin work.
About 10 O'Clock Mayor Grants Secre-
tary received certified copy Of Judge
Wallace's order dissolving the injunction
procured by the Western Union Com
pany against the Board of Electrical
Control. Orders were sent to the De.
partment of Public Works. Before II
O'Clock the poles at Fourteenth street
and Union Square were being cut down.
Hundreds of people gathered to witness
each side of the street, attacked the
poles. Another company of strong
arm wood choppers made an at
tack on the poles on Sixth
avenue and Twenty-third street
NEW YoRK, April 16.-The Mayor sent
to the Commissioner of Public Works to-
day letter notifying him OF the poles
and wires that were to come down. They
we're as follows: On Sixth avenue from
Twenty-third street to Fifty-eighth street
except the Western Union wires on the
Elevated Railroad structure; on Broad
way from Fourteenth street to Forty-fiftt
street, except the fire department line Oh
Twenty-third street; from Sixth avenue
to Broadway on Twenty-fifth street; from
Sixth avenue to Broadway on Forty
second street; from Sixth avenue to Mad
ison avenue.
The fall of every pole was hailed witt
cheers by the crowd. The Commissioner
sent for more police, so as to be ready fol
any emergency.
