ARTISTIC SINGING.
The Howard Method.

Mr.. John Howard, of New York CITY.
originator of the Howard method and au-
thor of the Physiology of Artistic Singing,
will, it is understood, teach in Pittsburg
during the next six weeks, commencing to-
morrow.
Mr.. Howard claims not only a better
mode but asserts with absolute confidence
that he has the only method which proceeds
with certainty. Several exact efforts of the
tongue, palate and throat must be combined
to produce the artistic singing tone; certain
rected. The method is not a complicated
one, but simple in the extreme, for only
a half dozen efforts, no more, are to be mas
tered, only two faulty ones checked.
Besides this advantage of certainty, an
other merit is the enormous saving of time
Confessedly, the first few lessons-from three
to six-are dull, but the new power of tone.
the absence of straining, and, above all, the
delightful quality of the new singing voice.
are found to be ample recompense for the
work, when etudes, songs and arias are next
studied.
Mr.. Howard advises the plan of giving to
each pupil daily lessons, and to favor this
will place his terms for regular lessons much
below his New York rates. Pupils NAV
begin or stop at any lesson, but are urged to
take lesson each day so long as their study
continues This plan has been found to
give most remarkable results. A few weeks'
application will develop the voice more than
a whole years study by non-physiologlcal
methods.
As much study has been given to phrasinp
and expression as to the posing of the voice.
This study usually begins at the fourth or
fifth lesson, with song or aria.
Last autumn many of our best yocalists
studied with Mr.. Howard. BE is allowed
to refer to his pupils-Mrs. Jean wallace
Webster, Miss Rosa Weber, Mr.. Ross
Drum, Mr.. j. M. Bullock, Mr.. Richard
Cannon and many others. HIS studio will
be most conveniently located, at 720 Penn
ave.

RAILROAD TAXATION
Occzpies the Attention of the North Dnkotn
Constitutional Convention.

Occupies the Attention of the North Dnkotn
Constitutional Convention.
BISMARCK, N. D., August 17.-AIl of
this afternoon was passed in considering the
section providing a system of railroad taxa
ton. The Convention previo usly adopted
the section providing that all property shall
be taxed alike. To-day the advocates
of the gross earnings system, which
is favored by the railroads carried motion
to reconsider the section and after one OF the
bitterest fights of the session they succeeded
in so amending that the Legislature may
provide for a gross earnings tax on all prop
erty used exclusively in the operation Of the
road.
Wallace, of Steele, who was opposed to
the amendment, endeavored to talk against
time, but weakened after holding the floor
for an hour. At to-night's session the re-
port OF the Committee on Engrossment will
be received and the Constitution as a whole
adopted. In all probability the convention
will adjourn sine die before II o'clock.

BY the merest kind of an oversight,
a note went to protest i'm Harrington,
SAVERS a. Co. s bank last Friday, which

ward, revealed to the bank officials and
others, the fact that heavy forgery
had been perpetrated, and that the
amount all told would reach nearly if
not quite 81 800.
A farmer i'm Emerson township,
William Curtis. had forged his brothers
names to notes, for various amounts,
one at the above named bank for $500;
one to II. Harrington for $500; and one
to an Ithaca bank, for something over
500. and one or two others for less
amounts. He was confronted with a
charge of his crime last Saturday and
acknowledged the whole transaction,
and of course was very penltent. His
brothers, of whom none can say a
word against, and who are among the
wealthiest and most respected farmers
of this county, have arranged to fix the
matter up, and no one will be the loser
thereby.
These transactions have been going
on for the past two years, no one doubt
ing the genuineness of the signatures,
and the money obtained used IN buying
m achinery, land, etc.

tomorrow. As look at this audience
can hardly tell whether / am Demo
crat or Republican. l know, how
ever, that am opposed t
these bonds. Primarily 1 wa
in favor of the building of sewers, eve
though we had to submit to "boodling
to get them. But my eyes have bee
opened to the iniquity of this propose
scheme by the daily papers which hav
taken stand against it. feel that W
will all owe debt of gratitude to tn
two papers to which I have reference
for the bold and fearless position whicl
they have taken.
| am opposed to the present schem
for several reasons; one is that it call
for $500, 900 for storm drains. 1 see n,
practical use for storm drains except t,
form houses of refuge for tramps. Spent
that half million in paving streets ant
putting in cutters.
1 object, secondly, to the scheme be
cause it is wasteful. Take the water t.
the sea and it is lost use it for irrigation
and it becomes wealth for all OF us.
is poor economy to kill the hen that lay
the golden egg. By the building of 9
sewer ton miles shorter, at much lesi
expense, you open up country where
work may be found for laborers for al
time.
But was asked to speak upon some
of the legal phases of the question. The
Southern Pacific has agreed to give the
sewer right-of.way. That company has
some very sharp men who do not pro-
pose to take any chances. When the
sewer is built and some time cracks and
leaks and an accident happens in conse.
quence, the city will be held responsible
and must pay the widows and orphans oi
the dead men heavy damages. All this
as we'll as many other provisions is down
in the contract.
But let us suppose that they have got
to the ocean with the sewer. Every man
who suffers one dollar of loss in his
property has claim against the city
which he can carry into the courts. The
moment that people begin to inhale the
fumes from the sewer, each one who suf-
fers has the power of enjoining the use
OF the sewer.
Do you suppose that such men as SEN
ator Jones and Baker are going to allow
their little city to be ruined without a
struggle? These questions are some OF
them far.reaching-much further than
the term OF the present members of the
Council.
When first saw that Rose contract I
supposed that that settled the question.
Now Mr.. Rose offers to sell the right-of.
way for $12, 800. Well, where are all the
rest of the contracts? We must see
them all. We have found the Council
false once We can't trust them again.
I recently travelled through Kansas and
discovered that no improvements had
been made for more than year, On
inquiring ! learned that ever country and
municipality was mortagged with bonds
to build this, that and the other, and that
capital stayed away from them as if they
were suffering from pestilence. Let
as have no such disaster as this fasten
upon are beloved city.
Mr.. @. M. Wells, the President of the
meeting, then read resolution declar-
ing that those present were in favor oil
sewers, If constructed on any reasonable
plan. 1t was unanimously adopted and
the meeting adjourned.

This House was opened on November LIST.
1888, and we are pleased to say that our
business has been very satisfactory in the old
crop, and we are better prepared than ever to
handle the new crop at the highest prices
with the lowest charges for selling. We have
the full support of all the Independent buyers
of our market, and we do not publish sales of
q few fancy lots to mislead. We nave orders
for both old and new Tobacco and are deter
mined to put down the erroneous reports
that we do not buy, by saying the. highest
prices. We want $1,000 lbs. of old Filters and
Smokers at once for which we will pay, the
highest market value, and We are pleased to
say that such grades have advanced. The
new crop is curing very bright, and prices
are satisfactory, our average sales on a large
quantity sold being over 20 cents per pound,
all grades. Don't sell your Tobacco to the
hived drummer, but. bring us your next
load and we will convince you that you cannot
afford to sell elsewhere.

FLOWER USERS.

For one reason or another the ma
iority of flower users are not flower
r~aisers, and necessarily the few must
supply the many. In the city or large
town all can procure their needed
flowers from professional florists, but
in r,any smaller places there is no
small demand constantly being made
on the amateur who raises choice
flowers. 1t is q real pleasure to give
ones pretty town girls the dainty cor
sage bouquet they ask for, and each
Sunday morning to supply the neigh
boris children with their little button
hole bouquets. It is gratifying to
ones pride to have a dozen or more
persons call each day "just to zee the
flowers" quite expecting and, in fact,
receiving a nosegay each, and it is
almost a privilege to send flowers to
adorn the bride, or to place on the
bosom of the dead; yet if all these
flowers, for these varied purposes,
must be furnished by one, that per-
son must use some forethought, or
else see his or her flower he'd robbed
