THE FINEST BANQUET.
A Select Dinner Given Last Night by w. O.
III. Woods.


About the pleasantest little social event
of its kind given this season, and in point
of elegance surprising all recent local BAN
quets, was the stag banquet given in the
private dining room of the Hotel Duquesne
last night, by Mr.. W. o. HI. Woods, the
well-known young business man of this city.
The dinner was given to Messrs. Van Hunt
ington. of the Hotel Anderson; II. c. Par
due, of the Hotel Duquesne, Joseph 7.
Hughes and c. r. Sutphen.
The dining room was beautifully decor
ated and the table was mass of choice cut
flowers. The gentlemen were in full eve
ming dress, and the menu was the finest that
could be prepared. An agreement was
made that the party would banquet together
once a year as long as they lived. Appro-
pirate toasts were proposed and responded
to, and Mr.. Huntington gave q number of
original recitations.

The City to be Lighted by Gas as Uusual for
Ten DAYS Yet,

Ten Days Yet.
Quite an attempt was made by several
newspapers yesterday morning to show that,
beginning with last night, Pittsburg was to
be in darkness, owing to the legal expiration
yesterday morning of the city's contract
with the gas company in anticipation that
the new electric lighting system would be
nearer completion than it is at the begin
ming of the new year.
The scare vanished as mysteriously as it
came, however, for Controller Morrow yes
terday stated that an arrangement had been
made with the gas company until the new
lighting system can be utilized, which will
probably be about ten days hence.

works, Mr.. Dale goes into detail to such an
extent that, no matter whether he signs
himself mick Dale" "Jules Verne" or
"Veritas," the subject matter mnst be in
teresting from its very colossal character.
He says:
HUNDRED FATHOMS DEEP.
Now comes the great firm of Carnegie Bros.
& Co. With due justice to Mr.. Carnegie and
his partners, it must be said that, as they make
the most money, and almost one-third of the
output of the whole county, they have
also the greatest expense, and the least or less,
proportionate profit. And if it were not for the
greatly improved facilities that they have, it
would be almost impossible for them to make
and sell the bulk of what they manufacture.
Their daily output now is nearly l,5O0 tons, and
very little of It is sold at more than cents
pound and great deal of it is sold at "a cents
a pound and less. The present price of steel
rails is not even IL cents pound, and not as
much now as raw muck iron, so that, all in all,
the average estimate cannot be put at more
than cents pound, or just little above the
price of common bar iron. The hrm made last
year (SSl at the Edgar Thomson, l25.0O tons of
steel rails; at the Bessemer mill at Homestead,
g. 500 TONS and from their two mills in this city,
q 645 tons of muck bars but 65, 600 tons of fin
ished iron in the mill at Thlrty-third street.
put of muck iron was q, 500 tons; but the net
product was 1000 IONS.
SIMPLY STUPENDoUS.
That is total of 2S2, 500 tons, yielding
profit of So 10000. For 800 working days, it
would be sl2, 4S0 day. This does not include
their nine blast furnaces, which will fall little
below s., ,O0O,0 600 more.
On the whole this cannot be taken as being
very large profit, considering the great invest
ments and enormous floating expenses, which
are fully $4,000 day. That is alone for raw
material and to pay an army of 5000 men.
Their capital invested is over Sl2 600, QUO which,
at per cent, would make s72o, ,0OO interest. That
would make s., 400 a day.
This article may cause some of the manu-
facturers to come forward with denial. But
before they do will make an humble and
friendly challenge to meet any or all of them,
at any time, and, at any place, and plainly show
and convince them, where their profits have
been underestimated. So far as the number of
tons are concerned, there is not likely to be a
denial from any of them.
Should the challenge be accepted, request
of the Amalgamated Association the presence
of the President, Secretary and all the dis
trict officers, as also delegation of four COM
petent, skilled, good union men, they to be two
from the puddlers and two from the fnishers,
from every mill in Pittsburg. NICK DALE.

The Reason.

Why I. w. Harper's Nelson
County Whiskey is preferred above
all other brands is because it is the
most regular and most perfect
product, incontestably Eve made.
A long experience IN the manufac-
ture OF the Harper, the large capital
of the dlstiller which enables him
to hold his whiskey until 1t has
fully matured, together with the
fact that the whiskey is brought by
and shipped to us direct from the
distillery accounts for the unvary-
ing satisfaction it has given those
