How a wire-Grass Boy Turned the
Show Into an Advertisement for
Himself and Company.
Col. John Milliken, ticket agent
for the l.. & N. at Louisville, passed
through the city to-day on his way
back from franklin, where he had
been spending Sunday with his
fathers family.
When in the city John spends his
evenings at the young mems Chris
tian Association rooms, and at other
gatherings where evangelical work
Ia thickest. Last Friday night, how
ever, he was induced to visit the
Buckingham theatre, with some Of his
country friends, who insisted on see
ing both sides Of city life. They took
seats--as was their custom when
visiting the synagogue-right up to
the front with the other ancient and
bald headed sight-seers.
In the course Of the evening a
beautiful young girl was introduced
to the audience 40 the most marvel
GUS Of all yet discovered mind read
ers. She was blind folded and 4 large
black board placed just behind her
as she faced the audience. Her man
ager then asked that some gentlemen
would ascend the stage and make
few lines on the board. No one yet
accepted the invitation. AT length
some one nominated Milliken. He
blushed and shook his ensanguined
locks in token of refusal. The man
ager insisted, the crowd yelled, and
the Colonel at length overcome his
well known diffidence, advanced to
thelfront. AS fast as he made the
figures the young mind reader cried
them out. He saw his opportunity
to get in little free advertising for
his road and made the letters
"L&S."
The large audience fully appreciated
the neat way in which he had turned
the occasion TO his own advantage,
aud loudly applauded him as he
descended the stage with one of his
bewitching smiles.
This incident only illustrates the
fact that John always keeps two
optics wide open where the interests
Of his road are at stake. In token of
their appreciation Of the joke, the
entire company, consisting of thirty
persons, purchased tickets on his
line on leaving Louisville.
John Ia one of our native wire- |
grass boys, who is always polite,
energetic aud business like, and the
Times is glad to know he has gone
steadily up and is still going

Scrofula in Children.

The following is taken from let.
ter written under date of July l.
1889, by Mrs. Ruth Berkley, q most
charitable and Christian lady, of Sa.
lima, Kan: "In the early part of 1881
scrofula appeared on the head OF
my little grandchild, then only eigh-
teen months old. Shortley after
breaking out II spread rapidly all
over her body. The scabs on the
sores would peal off ON the slightest
touch, and the odor that wonld arise
would make the atmosphere cf the
room sickening and unbearable.
The disease next attacked the eyes
and we feared she would lose her
sight. Eminent physicians from the
surrounding country were consulted
but could do nothing TO relieve the
little innocent, and gave II as their
opinion, that the case was hopeless
and impossible to save the child's
eyesight.' 1t was then that we de-
cided TO try Swift's Specific Is. 3. 81
That medicine at once made speedy
and complete cure. For more than
a year past she has been as healthy
as any child in the land"
Cured His Little Boy.
My little boy had impurities of the
blood that were of a scrofulous ma.
ture, which resulted in the breaking
out Of anlabscess on the hip. gave
him Swift's Specific Is. S. 81 1t
purified his blood and restored his
health. AS blood purifier It cer-
tainly has no equal.

The greatest known depth of the
sea is In the South Atlantic Ocean,
midway between the island of Iris
tand' 'Acunha and the mouth of the
Rio de la Plata. The bottom was
there reached at a depth of 40,246
feet, or eight and three-quarter
miles, exceeding by more than H.
600 feet the heighth of Mount Ever
est, the loftiest mountain in the
world. In the North Atlantic Ocean,
south of Newfoundland, soundings
have been made to depth of 1850
fathoms, or q, ,4S0 feet, while depths
1900 feet, or six and a half
miles, are reported south of the
Bermuda Islands. The average
depth of the Pacific Ocean between
Japan and California Ia little over
2 900 fathoms; and between Chill
aud the Sandwich Islands, $500
fathoms; and between Chill aud
New Zealand, 1900 fathoms The
average depth of all the oceans Is
from 1000 to $500 fathoms.

IRON AND STEEL STAGNATIoN.

Low Condition of the lIarket-Trouble Be.
tween Two Associatious-Lower Wages
the Motto Of Manufacturer.
The general iron and steel industries are
in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory con-
dition, according to manufacturer state
ments, but it is not likely that any of the
works will close before the regular summer
shutdown. Overproductiou is given as
the cause, but as the consumption in the
spring and summer months always increases,
the stock will likely be reduced considera-
bly,.
A manufacturer who has made study Of
the affairs saws that pig metal has fallen
81 75 to 81 per ton since last fall, while
finished products have declined from s. to
S. per ton. He says that many mills would
shut down only for the fact that they have
regular customers who buy from them the
year through and they must keep them
supplied.
There is q great deal of trouble about
wages. As some manufacturers are opera
ting their mills under the Amalgamated
scale and others under the scale adopted by
n. 7. A. 217, K. of L. There is no uniform
ity in the price paid the puddlers In the
lbecbuIS O1cbIACb hhCtC SuC HILLS dIc COti-
trolled by the Amalgamated Association
S. 80 per ton is paid, while in the East and
West where the puddlers are controlled by
both of the organizations the price is s. 75
per ton.
1t was reported yesterday that the Eastern
manufacturers would insist on continuing
the payment of lower wages than are re-
ceived by workers in the West, while Pitts
burg workers will try to force a uniform
scale. In the East reductions have been
made for some time past and, as stated in
this paper yesterday, the Amalgamated As
sociation lost strike in Wheeling This is
an indication that the movement of manu-
fscturers to reduce wages all over the coun-
try may be successful. ----
The annual scale of the Amalgamated
Association will be drawn up in few weeks
and will be submitted at the June eonven-
tion. No reduction will be made in the
scale and none of the workers believe there
will be any trouble.

ITS LUNGS A MARVEL.
The Court House Breathing Machine
is Quite Big Enough
TO GIVE AIR TO 1,414,s57 PEOPLE.
Anew Way of Looking at the Wind That
Breeds no 0ratOry.
IS IT TIE CAUSE OF A DECADENCE9

Few of the thousands Of people who have
inspected Allegheny county's great Court
House can remember or realize that it pos
sesses pair of lungs in its basement of
many horse power, which afford fresh air
to the building sufficient to supply
1,14,357 people. allowing each
IA 7-12 cubic feet an hour, which
is said to be the amount
inhaled by a healthy pair Of adult lungs.
These lungs have been before alluded to in
these columns. In this respect as in many
others, the Court House is the product Of the
best modern engineering and Intellectual
knowledge and skill.
A visit to the subterranean depth was
made yesterday under the guidance of Su-
perintendent J. G. Mercer, and the visitor
could scarce believe the story told of the
volume until he experienced it, although
the thermometer had certified to 1t repeat
edly. He found supply sufficient to furnish
more air than all the fresh air funds
combined are able to supply to the children
of the poor, and the suggestion presented
itself; of force enough to run considerable
amount of machinery. Enough air is fur
nished every seven minutes to replace all
that the entire building can hold, so that, if
the inmates suffer from headache, it cannot
be caused by inhaling carbonic acid gas.
The supply is drawn down through the
tower and enters at apertures 300 feet above
the surface, which itself must be consider
ably over 100 feet above the river level AIR
at this height must be almost pure, no
matter what filth may be poison

feet an hour. When it enters the chambers
where the current is created by exhaustion,

The decline in forensic eloquence has been
noted by many this winter. The court
rooms no longer ring with impassioned elo-
quence, and many superficial thinkers have
been at a loss to account for it, but it is said
to be entirely owing to the presence of the
great tower blower. When a lawyer whose
lung capacity is greater than the necessities
of a case require. can be restrained in no
other way, he is led down to the mouth of
the great blower and invited to study it.
One application, so far, has been sufficient
to effect the reform wished for
The ancient Egyptians we're great on
towers, but if they had, instead of creating
them for ostentation or sepulture, designed
them as the Court House tower is, they
might have made large portion of malarial
Egypt as healthful as prolific.

An Estate That Seemed to be Lacking Of
Heirs Attracts Them.
Another claimant has turned up in the
proceedings in the Sheehan case in the Or
phans' Court This time it is Mrs. Honora
Sybrandt, of New Orleans. She claims that
she is daughter of Thomas Sheehan
(whose estate is in dispute) by former
wife, and that, a number of years ago, he
had placed her in an orphan asylum in New
Orleans. She left the asylum several years
ago, and has since married a man named
Sybrandt.
As the case now stands before the Court
there is petition tor a partition of the es-
tate of Sheehan, presented by Michael Glib
bons, of Williamsburg, a nephew of the de-
ceased, who claims he is the only lawful
heir, and asks that the estate be awarded to
him, with the exception of the widows por-
tion that goes to Mrs. Ann Sheehan, the
widow of Thomas Sheehan.
Mrs. Sheehan obtained an Injunction re-
straining Gibbons from taking possession of
the property, asserting that there was q
daughter living. This daughter she finally
discovered IN the person of Young lady in
Lawrence county, whose identity she ex-
poets to prove by birth mark.
Now another claimant has come forward,
and the case remains to be settled in the
Orphans Court. The estate in dispute is a
large one, and consists of real estate in
Sharpsburg borough.
