THEIR ANNUAL MATCH.

The Members of the Washington Have
Some Sport In Target Shooting.
The Washington Infantry held their an
nual shooting match and picnic at Manor
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, yes
terday. At Manor they were met by local
delegation with a band, and were escorted
to the shooting ground.
The members of the infantry shot for
medals until noon. The medals were won
by the following rifemen: First, J. II.
Mitchell; second, Sergeant Harry Davis;
third, Charles Geilifuss. Dinner was en-
joyed at the Moore and Snyder houses.
After dinner there was clay pigeon shoot
by the Manor Hunting and Fishing Club
and game of baseball. The Washington
Infantry gave an exhibition drill, and the

Mr.. Browning sings his little song and
makes his little speech into the phonograph
early in the morning. There are great
many uncomplimentaryr remarks made about
his vocal powers. One lady observed yester-
day after hearing the song, "What horrid
voice. If / had that voice I certainly
shouldn't want to advertise it" Another
visitor remarked that the "phonograph
spoke through its nose"
This last speech annoyed the worthy di-
rector of the show intensely, for he is an En-
glishman, and considers that only Ameri-
cans speak through the nasal organ. There
is a great deal of competition among those
anxious to get inside the magic barrier and

that the goods have not been cut, nor is

Dozens of pieces of goods as handsome as

PIG IRON STOLEN.

How fhe Westinghouse Air Brake Com
Away BY the Cart Load on the QnIsf.
For several months large quantities of pig
iron have been stolen from the yard Of the
Westinghouse Air Brake Works on Robin
son street, Allegheny. The members of the
company were unable to discover the cause
of the constant shortage in the piles OF
metal, and at length placed the matter in
the hands Of the Laf6erty Detective Agency
on Federal street. The result Of their work
on the case was that Christian Speer and
John Munday were arrested for the larceny
of the pig iron. Speer is the yard boss in
W1lIey's lumber yard on Lacock street
He lives in the Third ward, has a family.
and has heretofore borne good reputation.
Munday is colored man employed in
Willey's yard.
The prisoners were given hearing before
Alderman Brinker yesterday afternoon.
Evidence against them was given by Lafferty
and a number of small dealers in iron to
whom Speer and Munday had sold Dig
metal. From their stories, it appears that
the defendants were in the habit Of going to
the lumber yard very early in the morning,
before any workmen were present either
there or about the Westinghouse works
nearby. They would take Willey's wagon
and team, put on load of metal, drive
away and sell 1t, and return to the lumber
yard before the other uorkmen appeared.
Many loads of metal were thus disposed of
during the summer, the loads being sold, at
about half price, for from "a to s..
Z. Alderman Brinker held both defendants
in bonds, of $500 each, for the action of the
grand jury. Bail was furnished in both
cases.

THE HILL Is SLIDING.
Peculiar State of Affairs in the
Twelfth Ward, Allegheny.
HOUSES ARE MOVED OUT OF PLACE.
Preparing to Build Heavy Retaining Wall
Along the Hill.
THE WATER MAIN ABOVE THE SURFACE

A peculiar work is under way on Howard
street, in the Twelfth ward of Allegheny.
Howard runs along the side of steep hill,
parallel with and above East street. Resi-
dents on the street say that every year there
is a movement Of the hill, which cracks the
foundations of houses on the lower side of
the street, and causes sidewalks and pave
ments to reveal holes. This summer there
has been an unusual landslide. It has been
going on slowly and imperceptibly, but with
serious results. AT point on Howard street
just above the Hope Biscuit Works the
street has sunk about foot. The sidewalk
on the eastern side of the street has gone
down two feet for about half block, and
large double house, near the head of the
steps leading up from East street, has been
moved nearly foot off its stone foundation.
PUSHING RETAINING WALL.
1t has been determined to build strong
retaining wall along the lower side of How
ard street to arrest, Ii possible, the land
movement. John Seidler, the contractor, is
now engaged in the work. Immense stones
are being used, and the wall is being built
deep and wide. The work is a difficult one,
on account of the unstable nature of the hill
surface. The sinking of the street at that
point broke the large water main running
along Howard street. A new main has been
formed above ground. The pipe has been
propped up about three feet above the sur
face of the street, and connected by elbows
with the underground main on either side
of the sunken territory. When the retain
ing wall is built the main will be placed be-
low the surface.

How . Couple OF Foxes Tired Out q Canine
Persecution.
In the spring of 1888 pair of red
foxes took up their, home on Dakota
farm. They dug several holes on a
knoll In a wheat-fieId, and soon after
four exits" or young foxes, arrived.
Every day, while narrowing and SOW
ing wheat in the field, says the farmer,
saw the two old foxes lying ON the
little mound in front of their home.
The kits rolled about in the sun, played
with the bushy tails of their parents
and enjoyed themselves apparently as
much as a group of kittens.
One morning a neighbor came to
work in a field adjoining, bringing
with him a dog, and the dog, with all
the curiosity of his kind, soon began
the investigation of both farms.
He was still a long distance from
the fox-den when I heard a sharp,
warning bark and saw the kits disap-
pear. AS I looked, the mother fox
lay on the mound, her ears erect, her
nose on the ground, oil attention. The
father of the family, with his big tail
swir giT g in the wind, trotted toward
the dog.
Cam he intend to attack himp won
dered. 1 had never heard of such a
thing, and the dog, though not q large
one, was still larger than the fox. But
Reynard knew his business better thar
!. He approached tho intruder until
the dog saw him, when both stopped
for an instant, and then the dog gave
chase. The fox, with bark of de-
fiance, turned and ran in direction
away from his home.
At first the dog seemed to gain rap
idly upon the fox, but watched them
for nearly mile before they disap-
peared in the prairie grass and con-
cluded that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way.
In about an hour the dog returned
from a fruitless chase, and for time
he contentedly followed his master.
Then he began proving around again

had they disappeared when the male
trotted back from some hiding-place
and took tho position vacated by his
mate. The dog returned after 8
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to chase, first by the
male and then by the female, and.
while the one kept him busy the other
watched over the young, who did not
show themselves after the first sigh
of the dog.
It is hard to say which we admired
most--the bravery of the pair in chal
longing the dog to q race that woult
have proved fatal had he caught
them, their ingenuity in taking turns

chased, their skill in leading him
away from their young or their clev
erness in throwing him off their tract
when far enough away.--Youth's Com

Dew on the Painting Flower.

Appreciation is an excellent stimu,
lus to the performance of excellent
work. 1t is hard if not an lmpossl'
ble thing to do ones best when there Is
a suspicion that no man careth wheth.
er we succeed or not. Appreciation OF
honest endeavor and meritorious per-
formance is not flattery. There is no
reason why it should be withheld, and
many why it should be given. 1t Is
like dew to the fainting flower, like
bread to the starving body, like the
shadow of a great rock to the traveller
in the desert sands. Let it be given,
not only as the expression of C kindly y,
sympathetic heart that seeks to make
Others happy, but also as just due:
Indeed it becomes duty to manifest
appreciation of all that is worthy OF
conmendation. Those who are prais'
ed because they do we'll will seek to
render themselves worthy OF praise:
Parishioner, if the PASTORS sermon did
YOU good, tell him so. 1t will do him
good to hear it, and perhaps prove the
inspiration of better one. Husband,
praise the little wife who prepares Sc
daintily your favorite dishes. Wife,
let the husband hear first from YOU the
expressions of appreciation of his la
bor which will come from others:
Yours will do him more good than all
the rest put together. Without yours
the heart will be unsatisfied, and labor
slavery.
