THE BALED HAY QUESTION.

Reasons for the High Price of the Only
Monopoly Farmers Enjoy.
Fine words do not butter parsnips, it is
said, but they are like apples in gold, or
pictures in silver, when they sonorously set
forth the love and selfdenial of the COM
mercial classes. not only for each other, but
for the whole world where the sentiments
uttered are soaked in champagne at the
yearly gatherings of merchants.
But while the lofty sentiments and testi-
monials of affection are really meant on
gorgeous TO carry into everyday life, and
generous rivalry toasted on convivial occa-
sions becomes war to the knife and the knife
to the handle at times in actual business.
In an impromptu gathering of commission
dealers yesterday, Mayor McCallin's charge
that hay might have been obtained for Fire
Department and other city horses at S14 in
stead of SD ton, was under consideration.
A friend of the Mayor asked that the record
might be amended by making the price SIS
a ton, as he said really first-class hay, could
not be had for less What makes it cost
and gives the Allegheny county farmer the
only monopoly he has, is the fact that even
baled hay is so bulky as to be expensive stuff
to ship on railways. If full weight could be
loaded on cars, the best timothy hay would
not often sell above $40 a ton in this market.
But the meaty part of the discussion was
not developed until a member stated that a
dealer now furnishing hay was furnishing
loose-baled hay to order out of tight-baled
stuff. 1t was stated that, in order to do this,
all that was necessary was to put twine or
rope bands around the bales, and then cut
the wires. The hay swells, and at once be-
comes loose-baled hay, of the kind demand
ed by city department authorities.

A CAMP FIRE.
Patriotism and Enthusiasm at the Fair of
Post 12S Last Night.

Post 12S G. A. R. held camp fire at
their fair, in Allegheny. last night. 1t was
attended by the delegates to the State en-
campment at Erie who were on their way
home to the East.
Thomas Kay, of Post 81, Philadelphia,
sang humorous song, "He's Never Done
ANYTHING Since" He was called back and
he initiated fife on drumstick.
Department Commander Stewart then
made a short speech, in which he said he
was glad to make his first official visit to
Post 12S. He complimented the post on
their record as charitable organization and
bespoke success for their fair. He consid-
cred that there was more enthusiasm in
Allegheny county than anywhere else in
the State, and said the Grand Army was on
a higher plane and in better condition
than ever before.
Past Commander Goblin, of Lebanon
county, spoke next. He said the flag
brought home by the boys in blue is
brighter and purer than ever, and it is in
consequence grander and nobler thing to
be citizen of the United States. The
patriotic men of Pittsburg and Allegheny
responded nobly to the call in 81, and their
records will go down in history as the CEN
ter of loyalty. Those records show that
loyalty ard patriotism will ever exist.
Assistant Adjutant General James Nc
Cormack congratulatS14the members of the
post, and wished them success in their fair.

PROFITS AT PORTER'S.
The Locomotive Firm Distribute a
Portion of Their Earnings
AMONG THEIR MANY EMPLOYEES
The American Flints Will Hold Big
Reunion Next Summer.
A ROSY OUTLOOK FOR GLASS WORKERS

The second annual distribution Of per-
centage of the profits of H. K. Porter & Co.,
light locomotive manufacturers, among their
sum was given to the men.
The plan of giving about 10 per cent of
the years earnings to the employees was in
augurated by Mr.. Porter about a year ago.
The second allowance exceeds the first, but
the exact amount of money distributed could
not be learned.
When a DISPATCH reporter saw Mr..
Porter yesterday, and asked him what the
profits had been during the year and what
amount had been given to the men, he said
it was private arrangement between the
firm and the employees, and he preferred to
say nothing about it.
One of the laborers at the works said:
son an average the men have received more
than last year. l know of several who re-
ceived as high as S25, and some got more.
The firm is we'll paid. however, as the men
will not strike as long as this arrangement
continues"
Mr.. Fred F. Helmold, another workman,
in speaking of the division of profits, said:
"If all firms would follow the example of
H. X. Porter & Co. it would prevent many
conflicts between capital and labor. The
firm does not do this with any show or
ostentation, but as quietly as possible. 1
do not know the exact amount given out,
but know that one man who has been work
ing only part of the year received about
S15."
1t is stated that the entire amount dis
tributed was S75, 900; but Mr.. Porter would
neither affirm nor deny this report, merely
saying: eff you want to publish figures
make it Million

TO LIMIT THE PRICE OF GAS.
An Important Resolution Adopted BY Aile'
gheny Councils Last Night.

An Important Resolution Adopted BY Aile'
sheny Councils Last Night.
The regular meeting of Allegheny Coun-
ellis was held last night, but quorum was
not secured until nearly o'clock. and only
routine business was transacted. -
Almost all the members were at City Hall
before o'clock, but they were so busy dis
cussing the election next Tuesday that they
forgot to 60 upstairs until after the usual
time.
In the Select branch resolution adopted
by Pittsburg Councils relative to the nat
ural gas companies and their arbitrary ac-
tions was presented and adopted without
any discussion. A request for Councils to
select delegate and alternate to attend the
celebration of the one hundredth anniversary
of Washington's Inauguration April 80, was
received and filed.
The reports from the different committees
were received and placed on file.
In the Common branch the following,
presented by Mr.. Kennedy, was adopted
without debate:
of Allegheny City, that Joint Committee Of
two from Select and three from Common
Council. with the City Solicitor, be appointed
to prepare bill, to be presented to the Leg1s-
ldtuIc, pldCluR upon ndLuIal gas companies q
limitation in the price of natural gas to con-
sumers. Said committee shall have power,
when necessary, to appear before the Legs.
lature in the interest of such bill or any bill
that will afford relief to the citizens Of Allie
gheny from extortion, as at present practiced,
and that our Representatives work to secure
such legislation.
Mr.. Neeb presented an ordinance grant
ing certain piece of land near Herr's
Island to the United States for use in the
erection of dam. The matter was referred
to the committees on city property and
wharves and landings.
A resolution authorizing the Committee
on Roads to construct and maintain board
walks in the rural districts, councils to ap-
prove of any bills so contracted, was called
up and evoked considerable discussion. Mr..
GerwiS, opposed the resolution on the
ground that it would give the Road Com
mittee unlimited power and put them in a
position that they could spend all the money
in the sinking fund.
Mr.. Chambers in defending the resolution
pictured the residents in the rural wards in
a very sad plight. The children were going
to school, he said. in mud knee deep, and he
asked the members in the name of humanity
to pass the resolution.
After some discussion Mr.. Gerwig amend
ed the resolution to read ''within the limits
of the committees appropriation, and this
was adopted. after which motion to adjourn
prevailed.

ST. VALENTINES DECAY.
The Worship of the Patron of Love and SEN
tinleut Growing Weaker Every Year

The Worship of the Patron of Love and SEN
timent Growing Weaker Every Year
Causes of the Loss of His Devotees.
Dear old st. Valentine, with his annual
crop of love and nonsense. is losing ground,
at least so say the postofice officials, and
they are in position to know.
The sending of valentines has ceased to
become the fashionable way in which to de-
clare ''undying devotion" to ones best girl.
Cupid's arrows may prick masculine hearts,
but to find its way between the steel ribs of
average Pittsburg lovers pocketbook is not
so easy a matter, that is, when there is no
return for the outlay.
The Claude Melnottes, who sigh like a
furnace, it seems would rather pour their
tales Of love into the listening ear of charm
ing Pauline by word of mouth than bv hav-
ing it printed in cold type, and bearing a
close resemblance to the advertising cards
of Cooks Cough Cure" It's cheaper, and
there's more fun in the job.
The constant tendency of late years has
been toward increasing the cost of the card.
This is one of the causes of the decay. And,
as many think, it is the best thing that
could happen to custom which partakes of
extravaganza and absurdity.
Sad to say in few years the "star-eyed
gazelle" to whom one pays tribute on off
nights, will no longer receive dainty miss
i've inclosed in an envelope whose exterior
decorations call to mind the fringes around
a dyspeptic looking sponge cake in baker
shops window, containing white card, on
which are printed in variegated colors a
gentleman who is attired in style of
clothes not permitted in polite society VINO,
with a look of agony on his face, is saying
sweet nothings to female with pinch
back dress and false hair, while several bill
ious looking angels hover about, shooting
blunt arrows at plethoric hearts which are
shedding an excessive amount of red ink.
Underneath is verse of poetry with meter
as smooth as the jolting of a street car over
the cobble stones.
Saint Valentines days are numbered.
Peace to his ashes. May he be buried so
deep that the last trump will not disturb
him, even if hearts are turned up. Once
more vale, Saint old boy.

MUST HAVE WORKING CARDS.

President O'NeilI, of the Potters' Union,
Talks About the Trade.
John J. O'Ne1ll, President of the Ma
tional Potters' Association, and Master
Workman of Nd. A. 16O. K. of L., passed
through the city yesterday on his way to
Trenton, N. j.
He had been to Steubenville, where he
inquired into the strike at the works of Day
& Co. The men employed at these works
are on a strike because the firm refuses to
recognize working cards.
Mr.. O'Neiu says the strike will be won
in few days and that none but union
workmen with cards will be employed. He
says the potters' organization is stronger
than it ever was before, and that trade is
good. There is bright outlook and Mr..
O'NeilI thinks every pottery will be oper-
ating full in few days.

THE WINDOW GLASS TRADE.

Number of Pots In Operation-One Firm
Experimenting With Lima Oil.
The window glass trade is good and the
prospects are rosy, the workers say, par
ticularly in the Pittsburg district.
There are ,3O5 pots in the country, and
of these.1 ,157 are in operation and 14s are
idle. In the Pittsburg district there is not
an idle pot, and $50 are in operation and the
others in operation are as follows: Eastern
district, 222; Northern district, 156, West
ern district, 429.
The Bellaire window glass factory has
closed down indefinitely because of a failure
of the fuel used, Lima oil. Two months
ago the natural gas gave out and the firm
began the use OF Lima oil, but it was not
satisfactory. They will go back to the use
of coal unless further experiments with the
oil as fuel prove success.

SENATOR GOBLIN OPENS Up.
He Saws the Pen Will be Investigated, n
Soldiers Orphan School Must Close,
and He Prefers High License.

He Saws the Pen Will be Investigated, n
Soldiers Orphan School Must Close,
and He Prefers High License.
Among the Grand Army men who stopped
over in Pittsburg yesterday afternoon at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel, on their return
from the encampment at Erie. were Senator
J. P. S. Goblin, of Lebanon, and Thomas j.
Stewart, Secretary of Internal Affairs and
the newly elected State Commander.
Senator Goblin is we'll known in military
circles, and is one of the few who is an
open and avowed candidate for Governor,
and he says squarely, when the time comes,
he will make a fight for the nomination.
Senator Goblin is a member of the Senate
Appropriation Committee, to which the
resolution to have the Penitentiary investi-
gated was referred. He asked a number of
questions about Riverside, and wound up by
declaring that the institution must be in
vestigated, and committee for that purpose
would be appointed.
Concerning the Soldiers Orphans Schools,
he said: Zone of them will be closed this
year, and think it will be the McAlister-
Vile school, What to do with these chill
dren after the school is shut up is
bothering Grand Army men a great
deal. The other schools for certain reasons
will not care to receive them, and here the
problem begins. The Legislature made
great mistake in the first place to farm out
these children to a syndicate. In closing
up the schools care must be taken that no
discredit is cast upon the children. Many
of those who have graduated, both girls and
boys. occupy prominent positions in life.
"There are number OF important bills be-
fore the Senate, chief of which are the mu-
nicipal and revenue bills. The latter will
not differ in principle from the former one,
which miscarried through the lack of a sig
nature. The Governor couldn't have signed
that bill under the circumstances, but it is
not fair to say that he would have vetoed it
ANYHOW. feel certain the Governor would
have signed it.
81 believe that the vote of Lebanon
county will be cast against prohibition.
When an effort was made few years ago to
introduce local option it was lost by ma
jority of 400 votes. 1 voted in favor of
submitting the question to the people, but
regret that high license was not tried a
while longer to see what the result would
be. The temperance people have been in
too big hurry. High license has already
done much for the cause of temperance, and
would have done more. Many of the peo-
pie in Lebanon county are Germans, and
this class of people are always tenacious OF
their rights. They are opposed to sumptua.y
laws, and for this reason believe that the
Lebanon voters will cast their ballots
against prohibition.

A NOTED SPECIALIST,

DR.. Campbell, Of England, May Come TO
This City TO Teach the Blind.
The regular meeting of the Western Penn
sylvania Institution for the Blind was held
in the parlors of the Y. NJ. C. A. yesterday.
The special matter of engaging the services
of DIR. Z. j. Campbell, of the Royal College,
of London, was the feature discussed.
1t was finally decided that the Secretary
be instructed to telegraph DR.. Campbell at
once and ask him if he could come to this
city to talk the matter over. His expenses
are promised him, and if he will consent to
come and makes favorable impression, the
managers will offer him a salary to take
charge of the institute.

THE MODERN SABBATH.
The Wickedness of That Day of Rest d
nlored nv Rev. CRAFTS.

plored by Rev. Crafts.
The last session of the q. P. Sabbath
School Institute of Allegheny Presbytery,
commenced Monday evening, was held last
night. The Rev. E. S. McKittrick conducted
the exercises Rev. W. F. Crafts, D. D.,
was the only speaker. His subject was,
"The Outlook for the Sabbath" He COM
menced by quoting the commands in the
Bible that the Sabbath shall be day of
rest, and then deplored the condition Of
things that exist in that respect in the
present day. .-...
When he had concluded, DIR. Crafts called
for signers to the petition in favor of the bill
pending before Congress for the abolition of
unnecessary labor on the Sabbath. Many
attached their signatures to the petition.
