To dress becomingly should be the aim Of
every woman and we believe is the rule
with ever, sensible one. But in order to do
this every one should know something about
coiors herself. We are often told that
every thing and in fact any thing is fashion
able and insll, that one cannot possibly
get out of the fashion No, perhaps not but
we can very efectually get out Of our
senses. which thing is proved by the colors
we often select for our dress material and
millinery goods.

IRONWORKER'S STORY.
A Modern TubaI Cain Relates His Own
Experience,
DESCRIBING A LONG SIEGE.

"It was between three and four years
ago." said Mr.. Keough. ''that exposurs
brought on cold. After while it seemed
to leave me. But whether it was not en-
tirely well, or other exposure brought on
fresh colds, don't know. At any rate my
head became stopped mp, my throat raw and
uncomfortable and had continual hack
ing cough"
The speaker was Mr.. John @. Keough,
who resides at Reynoldton, across the
Youghiogheny river from McKeesport, and
is engaged in the National Rolling Mill at
McKeesport.
"The trouble at first seemed to be small,
but it steadily grew worse. began to feel
that there was something the matter with
my nasal organs and bronchial tubes. My
nostrils would clog up, first on one side and
then on the other. There was dry fever
ish feeling inside. My throat would choks
up. and there seemed to be weight or op-
preston on my chest that at times almost
sufocated me. I was constantly hawking
and raising and could feel the mucus drop
ping back into my throat / found 1t hard
to breathe, could not seem to get air enough
through the passages. / was constantly
raising white particles about the size of

stick in my throat that could not get up
or down.

BEARS ROUTED.
The Trusts Resume Their Upward Move
ment, and Prevent q Bad Break-The
Bank Statement More Favorable
Than Expected - Bonds

Let Co.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The stock market to-
day was fairly active, but the animation was
almost entirely confined to the trusts, which
again furnished more business than the regu-
lar list. They were also decidedly strong
throughout, especially lead and sugar, and. to
a certain extent checked the declining tenden-
cy in the general list, caused principally by the
hammering Of the traders. There was gener-
al expectation of bad bank statement and
this served to restrict buying and encouraged
the bearers and traders to bring considerable
pressure upon the list so that first prices were
from "A to u per cent below last evenings
closing figures, and further declines of like
amount were scored in the early trading, under
the lead of St. Paul ahd Atchison.
The unusual strength shown in sugar and
lead trusts. however, acted as wet blanket
upon the BEARS and in very large transactions
lead rose from 3215 to "a and sugar from ll5T
to 1l71z in the first hour. The regular list re-
sponded with rally of small fractions which,
however, was sufficient TO bring most of the list
up above first prices Lead gave way again
after IL o'clock, but sugar steadily rose until at
the close it had reached ll8T net gain Of 81
per cent. The general list fell awav again. but
the BANK statement proving better than expect
ed, prices rallied again toward the close, which
was fairly active and firm at but slight changes
from last evenings figures. There was little
or no news from the West, and the market was
uninfuenced by anything outside of the board
ROOM The final changes are insignificant and
about equally divided between gains and
losses Lead shows gain of 14 per cent.
Railroad bonds were dull, the total sales be-
ing only $3.50. QUO, and the number of issues ur-
usually small. The market was weaker than
at any time within the last few weeks, and
most Of the tmportant changes In quotations.

tares so like the wheat, which an enemy
might sow and destroy the looked-for
harvest.
As our eyes turn northward to Lebanon,
We discover, nesting in the mountain
ranges, the city of Safed, one of the four
holy cities of the Hebrews, which perfectly
answers to our Savior's picture in the Ser
mon on the Mount, "a city that is set on a
hill which cannot be hid" When he ex-
horted to the multitude to "let their light
so shine before the world that others might
see their good works and glorify their
Father in heaven" he said, eye are the light
OF the world, city that is set on q hill
which cannot be hid"
THE MOUNT wHEREoN CHRIST STOOD.
From the mount where these memorable
words were spoken we turn our eyes to
Lebanon and see the city which to-day, as
more than 1Scenturies ago, answers to the OBJ
ject lesson of the prophet of Nazareth.
And as we look across the little inland sea
at the foot of Lebanon, fed by the melting
SHOWS of Mount Hermon, the beauty and
force of that sublime conclusion to the Ser
mon on the Mount, is seen as never before.
Before the Jordan empties itself into the lake
it traverses for few miles the plain of Cen
nesaret. In the o]den time the cities Of
Capernaum and Bethsaida stood on these
banks. In the spring time the Jordan often
overfowed its banks, and searched out the
fimsy foundations of the dwellings.
THE LESSON OF THE BEATITUDEs.
The greatest of teachers, who spoke as
never man spoke, and who was wont to
gather his most impressive lessons from
objects before His eve, concluded
His great sermon on the Mount of
Beatitudes, with those words which have
become household words throughout Christ
endom. The man who hears and obeys the
truth is likened to him who builds his house
on the rock. When the rains and winds
and storms beat on that house it stands be-
cause it rests on solid foundations. The
man who does not obey the truth and follow
its leader, builds on the sand, and when the
floods and storms beat on his house it is
swept away.
"Whosoever heareth these sayings of
mine and doeth them, will iken him to
a wise man which built his house on the
rock; and whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine and doeth them not, will liken
him to a foolish man who built his house
on the sand" And the people were aston
ished at His teaching. j. 81. YOUNG.

A CANDID ANSWER.
II is Made in Reply TO Questions Which Have
Frequently Been Asked.

u is Made in Reply TO Questions Which Have
Frequently Been Asked.
Do Drs. Copeland and Blair cure all cases
of catarrh?
Unquestionably, no.
This question has frequently been asked
and may as we'll be squarely answered.
In some cases catarrh has been allowed to
proceed unchecked so far-reaehing and
fatally impairing the lungs and causing con-
sumption or reaching the stomach and caus-
ing dyspepsia and Inflammation of the
stomach, that medical skill is powerless.
In such cases they do not profess to in
Variably effect cure.
In some cases, where catarrh has not
taken such hold upon the constitution as
to prevent the possibility of a radical cureS
the patient having begun treatment may be-
come careless and negligent, infrequent in
his visits and forgetful as to uses of his
medicine, and will thus undoubtedly fail to
obtain cure.
When the patient fails to come to the
Office regularly for treatment for the time
during which he is instructed to come, or
does not follow up his treatment regularly
and systematically, they do not profess to
be able to effect cure.
sorceries. They cure catarrh, but it Is by
patient, regular, systematic and methods
cal, as well as skillful treatment. Those
who hope to be relieved of this lingering
and insidious disease in an hour, day, or
a week, need not come to them for treat
ment.
The fact, however, that they do cure ca
tarrh and often in its serious and advanced
stages, when the patients follow their treat
ment regularly and faithfully, does not lack
a demonstration at this time. The crowds
that daily fill their parlors will testify to
this. And more than that, out of the many
who have been cured and have willingly Of
fered their statements for publication, one
has been given each week, together with
the outline Of the face and the name and
residence. Of course, none Of these have
been or would be published without the full
consent and approval of the patient. These
have not been obscure or unknown people
from another city or State They are all
residents of Pittsburg, Allegheny or Vicin-
ity, some of them very well known, and
their statements could easily be verified.
Such, for instance, as the statement Of Mr..
William J. Adams, of Mansfield, who had
had catharral and bronchial trouble for years
and gained 10 pounds in six weeks under
treatment; OF Mr.. Robert W. Huffman, 1853
Jackson street, Allegheny, who passed
through similar experience; Of Mr.. j. G.
Frazier, 5710 Kirkwood street, Pittsburg,
who gained II pounds in weight in less
than two months, and is restored in health
and strength; OF Mr.. Charles A. Miller, OF
Ohio township, whose experience was like
that of Mr.. Frazier, and Of many others
who might be mentioned.

The wyominr oiI Field.

Speaking of the oil interests of Wyoming. the
St0eet Water Chief says; Little developments,
however, have been made in the fields on ac-
count Of transportation facilities being 80 poor.
It has been almost an impossibility to get ma
chinery into the country even to prospect. But
now that railroad is penetrating the central
part of the State, different corporations are on
the move and considerable activity is witnessed
all over the country, and it is now being pre-
tlieted by prominent oil men .1hat there will
be greater oil excitement witnessed in Wyo-
ming in the next twelve or eighteen months
than was ever experienced in Pennsylvania or
Ohio" This may be presuming too much, but
1t is safe to say that the oil exists here in greater
quantities than either OF the aboYe named

the Oil Market.
Cash and July were the only options that re-
ceived attention at the Petroleum Exchange
yesterday. In one or two instances 95 was bid
for the former, and at least one sale was made
at that figure, the object being probably. to
get up little corner in it which would pass
unnoticed amid the other transactions.
July oil opened strong and active at 93 There
were sales between this figure and 93115, when
there was quick advance to 945S From this
point the market soon broke to 9315S and iuc-
tuated between that and 935s until near the
close when it softened and finished steady at
92X
The deal between the Standard and the pro-
ducers had the effect of strengthening the
market and the chances are that fair average
price will prevail for an indefinite period. This
view is strengthened by the fact that consump-
ton for the expired portion of the year is about
l,500 900 barrels greater than for the corre1
spending time in 1883.
This large and steady reduction Of the work
ing stock points strongly to dollar oil in the
near future. Whatever may be done with the
Ohio product now.it can make but little change
in the situation. Fridays clearings were S5S,-
900 barrels.

THE SAFE DEPOSIT BUILDING.
A Magnificent Structure Perfectly Equippe,

Ma agni6cent Structure Perfectly Equipped.
The ingenuity of man could not produce a
more perfectly adapted safe deposit build
ing than the new and elegant structure, No.
S3 Fourth avenue. The Sale Deposit Com
pany, of Pittsburg, has achieved this result
BY adding three stories and handsome col
umned stone front to the former building,
and has now a business building that is q
credit to the city and a source of pride to
Pittsburgers. The first floor is occupied by
this company's Offices and by their huge fire
and burglar proof vault. The remaining
five stories, which are as light and well
ventilated as good location and skillful ar
rangements can make them, are divided
into Offices, which are rented either singly
or en- suite, as desired The majority of
them are now rented, but a limited number
of highly desirable rooms may yet be OBJ
tanned. The building Is equipped
with both elevator and stairs. The
stairs are of iron and stone, as indeed
is the entire structure, which is perfectly
freproof. Not beam or joist of wood has
been employed in the constructions fact
that adds very greatly to the security of oc-
cupants, and induces perfect ease OF mind
even to those who, in less favored localities,
would fear the possibility of fire. The
Franklin Electric Supply has installed a
complete electric light plant in the build
ing, including dynamos, and this renders it
quite independent of interruption by storms,
crossed or broken wires and other accidents
which often prove annoying to users of
electric lights.
The magnificent receiving vault of the
Safe Deposit Company is arranged for the
reception of valuables in either small or
large bulk, each patron having box for
his exclusive use, the key to which he keeps
in his own possession. The convenience to
the public OF such an institution, centrally
located, is very great and there can be no
possibility of loss to subscribers from fire,
burglars or assaults. The building is
guarded day and night, the guards being re-
lieved at stated times, so that alert and
watchiul men are constantly on duty look
ing after the safety of the vault and build
