LAST AND MOST 1MpoRrANrl

LAST AND MUST 1MPORTANTy
$500 GIVEN AWAY!
A lot worth s15O will Be given to each of
the first 80 persons who erect houses thereon
costing 81 200 and over.
Upon receipt of first payment of per
cent we execute and deliver Title Bond, to
be held by purchaser until the lot is paid
for, at which time we deliver Warrantee
Deed, free OF incumbrance, without further
cost.
MAIL ORDERS.
A certain percentage of our trade is mail
orders. Pittsburg is known to be growing
more rapidly than any city in the United
States, and great many people would like
the opportunity of investing money in such
city.
We have customers all over the United
States, and have gained reputation for
dealing with perfect fairness with them.
To all who send us first payment by mail,
we will absolutely guarantee to give them
the best lot then unsold, each person being
conscientiously served in their turn, and
Title Bonds sent Immediately.
We have hundreds of customers in this
city whom we refer to. A list will be given
on application.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-05-29
THIRD PRINCIPLE.

To make the first payment and subsequent
ones just as low as possible. In this we
have done something never known in the
history of real estate-ofered elegant prop
erty, as good as can be purchased anywhere,
and only ask 25 cents to 81 so first payment.
At this payment you obtain control Of the
property, can build and improve imme-
diately, in fact, have entire possession.
Another feature, we charge no interest and
pay all taxes until deed is given.
When the sale was opened, and whole
pages in the different daily papers devoted
to explanations of our methods, disaster
was predicted and failure prophesied. Real
estate men could not appreciate that there
were hundreds of people anxious to obtain
their own homes, to whom the ever increas
ing rents and expenses of growing families
make it difficult to accumulate the necessary
large payment required to secure lots under
the old system.
What was the result? Over 800 lots were
sold in two weeks, and now over 20 new
houses are being erected, with others start
ing every week. Our Office was filled, and
at times we could scarcely accommodate the
people, and further, resulted in these same
firms initiating and copying our methods.
There are now only 100 lots left out of a
total of over 1000; they are among the
finest, however, that have been offered.
They are offered to you at the original
price of S25 to $3.50, are 25x1O0 feet, some
larger, and face on 40 and so feet avenues.
Thestreets are all graded free of cost, and
graded well. Board sidewalks, three feet
wide, are laid on each and every street.
A railroad pass to and from the city, for
one year, is given to all new residents of
1889.
Lots will be given to all schools and
churches. There is Methodist Church
already on the ground, and two lots have
been given to the United Presbyterian
Church, which is now building beautiful
structure.

FASHION POINTS.
The tight coat sleeve is dead.

The tight coat sleeve is deau.
The two-piece dless is moribund.
All sleeves are loose above the ell
bow.
Waists grow shorter and less
peaked.
The basque waist is almost thing
of the past.
Tartans and stripes are in higher
favor than ever.
Skirts grow longer in the back, but
shorter in front.
The looped tablier is infrequently
seen on new gowns.
The newest Paris gowns have the
skirt sewn on to the bodice.
Brown, tan, gray and black gloves
are the correct wear with all Out-of-
door toilets.
All waists have SUPPLIES, bretelles,
plastrons, waistcoats, or revers of one
kind or another.
Panels remain q fashionable and
popular feature on most gowns for
street and carriage wear.
Ostrich feather tippets in colors to
match evening and dinner gowns are
seen in the best houses.
The figures in the new and richest
brocaded silks are very large, a single
pattern frequently covering an entire
breadth.
The cape-sleeved jacket, simulat-
ing q cape and waistcoat in front and
jacket in the back, is new and
favorite light wrap.
Tartar shoulder capes in triple
folds, with long square fronts, also
triple folded, are seen among the
utility short wraps for early fall
wear.
The suits for little people that seem
destined to drive out all others shown
this fall are those of plaids or tartans
as our English cousins call them.
Even street dresses are cut in the
fourseam, or princess, form, the skirt
and waist all in one, even when a
separate bodice is simulated by the
belt and SUPPLIES.
Wide white linen cuffs and co liars
are coming up again, but they are
not admired nor admirable. They
give a girl foolish look, but then
they are English, you know"
Among the long mantles sent from
Paris is one of royal purple velvet
with pulled sleeves and Queen
Anne collar, bordered with black
ostrich feather trimming and braid
ornaments.
Brownish reds and ruddy browns
in all shades are beautifully COM
bined with pale blue, rose, water
green and cream white for the fronts
OF dressy tea gowns and morning
wrappers.
Long mantles of the Russian type,
with plain loose coat sleeves under
the long hanging sleeves, are the
models most frequently shown in the
cloak departments of the leading
houses.
A favorIte waist has the short,
square jacket fronts, opening over a
full waistcoat and folded belt, and
half open, short, angel sleeves over
leg-of-mutton or bishop sleeves with
deep cuffs to the elbow.
The general rule for street toilets is
to have a plain long redingote of plain
stuff, worn over skirt of striped tar
tan, brocaded, figured, or bordered
material, and this rule is followed for
silk suits as we'll as for wooden.

THE PULLMAN REGATTA.
One of the Greatest Aquatic Contests Ever
Seen in This Country.


Seen in This Country.
The recent regatta at Pullman, Ills. was
one of the largest gatherings Of oarsmen
that has ever occurred in the United States
To read the list of entries was to read the
names of most Of the best scullers of Uncle
Sans domain and of Canada. The meeting
was Joint convention Of the American Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oarslnen and
the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing as
ISOLATION. Fifteen four oar crews, two eight
oar crews, fourteen double crews and forty
single scullers participated in the various
events, and some remarkably good time was
made.
OF course the most interesting feature of
the regatta was the race between the two
famous eights-the Atlantis, Of New York,
and the Bradfords, of Boston. 1t was right
royal battle between unbeaten crews The
Atlanta Boat club was organized in 1913,
making it the Oldest in the country. The
crew which defeated the Bradfords at Pull
man had been rowing together about two
years, and had during this season defeated
the New York club easily, and distanced the
Albany eight, who had never before been
beaten. The Atlanta clubs eight beat both
Harvard and Yale in 1871, and the club has
only one important eight oar defeat recorded
against it. In 1872 an Atlanta crew went to
England, and was beaten in the international
regatta by half length. The time at the
Pullman regatta was I'm. Ais, So seconds
better than any previous record. The boat
in which they rowed had once carried the
Wales to a glorious victory.

After a long sleep he felt better and decided
to go on, and on the evening of Thursday, the
fourth day, he went ashore at Garrisons.
His shoes were completely enveloped in ice
and he was sore and lame, but the next ebb
tide saw him again or the water, and at the
turn Of the tide he had reached Sing Sing.
Saturday morning he reached point just off
One Hundred and Twelfth street, and there
he was taken aboard the boat.

presses great hopes for his future

there is a great deal better chance for a man
