DIR. JAMES P. CAMPBELL:
DEAR SIR-VieWed from a "complexional"
standpoint we prefer the gentler and lovelier
sex should render verdict as to the efficacy of
Campbells Arsenic Waters, neither member
of this firm ever having had occasion to use
them'in that particular direction.
But as a reliable STOMACHIC, NERVE tonic
BRAIN nutrient and INVIGORANT we say
without the slightest hesitation, that we have
jointly derived great salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almost network of open
trenches, emitting unhealthy and noxious
vapors, our SENIOR used the waters most sue
eessfully in overcoming an attack of malaria
and in Warding off other yisitations of that
most persistent ailment, and Mr.. Hummel de-
clares emphatcally that there is NOTHING to
equal Campbell's Waters, when one realizes
the necessity of quilting ones self together"
We know "whereof we WRITE" SO please &C.
cept this honest expression of our convictions
regarding the wonderful waters bearing your
name.
Very truly yours, HOWE s. HUMMEL.

The New Wandering Minstrels.

OhS-
J.Mervin Hull, in Young IDEAL
"What's that coming down the
street," said Max to his little sister,
Carrie, as they were at play on the
lawn one afternoon.
II dess it's the scissor-man," said
Carrie.
"Oh, no It isn't" said Max, scorn,
fully, che isn't ringing any bell"
80 Max, what is that funny little
thing hopping wound with the red
suit on?"
s'Its monkey, it's monkey!'
shouted Max, and then the children
clasped hands, for they were just
little afraid, but good deal more
curious, and waited until the strange
procession was opposite them.
Then, to their surprise, the weary
looking man set down the burden
which was on his back, and took a
dirty, grey blanket from it, and there
was revealed hand-organ with some
wonderful figures of people and ami
mails on it.
When the man turned the crank, it
made the most lively music ever
heard, and Shem, Ham and Japhet
on the top of the organ looked as if
they were trying to jerk their heads
off, while the COW and the goat and
the other animals jumped up and
down on their four stiff legs. After
he had played few minutes, the
organ-grinder put little plate in The
monkeys hand, and he hobbled
gravely to Carrie and Max and held
out the plate.
"He wants his brefcuts," said
Carrie. Breakfast was still "bref-
cuts" with Carrie, and it meant any
meal of the day.
~ guess 1T Is pennles, SAID Max.
"I've dot some,' said Carrie !;
"Uncle Will gived me three" and
she took them from her pocket and
put them on the plate.
This satisfied the monkey, who took
the plate to the sidewalk, set it down,
took the pennies in his hand and
climbed up his masters back and put
them in his pocket.
When the man had played some
more, and the monkey had got all the
children's pennies, the man covered
mp his organ and went away.
Max and Carrie were very sorry to
have him go, but Max had got great
idea, and that evening he played a
great many tunes on his harmonica,
just for practice.
The next day he begged from the
cook a wooden box with hinged lid,

and this he took to Mike, who did tn
out door work, and got him to nail a
stick to the back side of it for rest.
and to bore gimlet hole in one end
of it.
can fwhat are ye goin' to do wild
it?' asked Mike.
ooh, I'm going to travel,' said
Max, with an important air. Then
he got piece of wire and bent it Ike
crank, which he put into the gimlet
hole. Then he tackled narrow strip
of cloth on the box, long enough to
60 over his shoulders, and his organ
was complete.
When Carrie and Max were allowed
to go out to play that afternoon, they
did not stay on the lawn, but Max
put his organ-strap over his head, and
they started out. As they had no
live monkey, they took the cloth ele-
plant which had long been their faith
full playmate, and he rode in triumph
on the top of the organ.
In little while they came to a
house where the people were sitting
on the piazza. They went up near
the piazza, and Max rested his organ
on the stick.
They he took his harmonica out of
his pocket, and played "Pop goes the
WEASEL on it, turning the crank of
his organ very fast all the time, as if
that was what made the music.
The people laughed and clapped
their hands, and then Max played
very softly, and Carrie sang,
"There is happy land,
Far, far away"

The people were so much pleased
that they gave children handful of
pennies and some oranges, which they
put insidesthe organ without hurting
the music at all. Then they went to
other places, and every one was so
charmed with the curly-headed min
strels that they kept on until the sun
went down, and then they thought
of home.

street heard them as he drew near.

over them.

Uncle Will did not say much, but

THEIR CASE READY.
League MaEuates Prepare Their Argument
for Injunctions Against Players.

LeaEue Maguates Prepare Their Argument
for Injunctions Against Players.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK December 10-The first move
on the part of the National League against the
Players League was made to-day when the
League Committee, consisting of Messrs, Day.
Rogers and Byrne, with George F. Duysuers, Of
counsel for the New York Baseball Club. met
in the Office of Evarts. Choate & Beaman, at So
Wall street, and decided upon plan of action
against one or more players Of the New York
club. It is very certain that John Ward will
be selected for the test case. During the con-
sultation it was decided to work on one of two
plans-either to apply for temporary injunc-
ton or file q bill of complaint The former
plan would prove much the quicker, for in case
q bill of complaint was filed it would take
weeks, and probably months, for to be reached
on the calender.
The committee went over the League con.
tract with Mr.. Beaman. and after the meeting
Mr.. Beaman said that, as it was claimed that
there were too many ifs in the former opinion,
he was now ready to say that the League con-
tract was well made and binding. The papers
in the case will be prepared at once, and the
matter will probably come before one of the
Supreme Court judges A complete history of
the reserve rule and a report of the League
Brotherhood conference was submitted to Mr.
Beaman. to be incorporated in the evidence.
President Day said tonight that he felt very
much encouraged over the result of the meet
ing. Colonel Rogers, however. was probably
the happiest man at the meeting. He said that
heretofore he had not declared that the League
had case against the contract breakers Now
however, he was perfectly satisfied that the
League had good case. Colonel Rogers left
for home after making the remark that he
would prepare papers in a suit against one or
more of the Philadelphia players at once One
cannot secure temporary injunction in Phila-
delphia so that it will be necessary to file bill
of complaint

THE SUPPLY OF RIYER COAL.
Miners Still Inactiye-C Cincinnati and Soul
ern Markets Well Stocked.

Miners Still Observation-Disclosures and South
ern Markets Well Stocked.
Mining affairs in the Monongahela Valley
continue in an inactive condition and with
the exception Of one or two small operators
who send down an occasional bostload, and
one mine owner who is shipping fat coal
for the local market, business is at stand
still.
"I have reason to know" said leading
operator yesterday, ''that the feeling among
the majority of the diggers is in favor of a
resumption of work at the old rates. They
are acted upon, against their own interests,
by half dozen leaders who seek to gain
their own ends and living, at the expense
of their fellows 1 believe that large Sec
tion of the men favor the idea of holding
another convention and electing other and
more temperate and intelligent delegates to
meet a committee of the operators to discuss
the present conditions of the trade, than
those whom they lately sent here and who
declined to listen to either facts or figures in
the conference. You have already referred
in THE DISPATCH to the growing increase
in the Kanawha competition and the large
quantities of coal stored at Cincinnati and
other points. Now the Southern market is
Just as we'll supplied.
Here" continued the gentleman, "are
the official returns of the number of boats
living south of Memphis. Up to the end of
November there were 238 of last years boats
and 212 of those recently sent down stored
in the South. These include the shipments
of Ii operators, and taking $4,000 bushels to
a boat. there are now 10,800,000 bushels
available for the use of the Southern mar
kets; enough to supply the demand until

Uncle Sam Pretty Certain to Foot the Bill
Run by Mr.. SIIcotf.
ESPECIAL TELKeRAM TO THE prsPATcH.I
WASHINGTON, December 10.-It is now
pretty certain that Congress will have to
foot the bill for whatever fun Mr.. Silcott
may have had out of the $40, 900 odd dollars
which he took out of the safe of the Ser
geant-at-Arms. On the other hand, Con-
gress is coming to the conclusion that MI.
Leedom, whose cashier SilcOtt was, acted as
disbursing agent for the Government in the
payment of Congressmen's salaries, and that
all those salaries which have not been paid,
though the money was drawn out of
the Treasury for that purpose, can
be collected from the Government.
OF course it is not difficult for Congress to
interpret the law In this way, and the 215
Congressman who are prospective losers may
be expected to vote liberal appropriation
for their own reimbursement, and
to put the political screws upon their
friends at the other end of the Capitol, to
induce them to join hands in this backpay
grab. At the same time it is clear that
on which it is written.
Ex-Congressman Paige, now of New
York, has engaged Lawyer Davidge to look
up his liability as signer of Leedom's
bond, and the lawyer has found that, accord
ington to the express terms of the
bond, the sureties are held for
the faithful performance of Leedom's
duties "during the Fiftieth Congress" AS
the Fiftieth Congress died last March, and
as the unpaid salaries have accumulated
since that date, neither Leedom nor his
bondsmen can be held. And so Uncle Sam
will have to pay the fiddler.

He Will be Buried in Washington County

The body of W. N. Riddle, ex-President
of the defunct Penn Bank, of this city, who
died in New York Monday, will arrive in
the city this morning. The funeral services
will take place from his mothers residence,
near Canonsburg, in Washington county,
tomorrow. The Knights Templar of this
city will participate in the exercises and
have charge Of the funeral.
Three newsies about as dirty as an ordi-
nary street arab can get in month walked
into General A. L. Pearson's Office yester-
day afternoon. After taking off their hats,
which proceeding was caused by the leader
giving one of the others a sWipe over the
head for his lack of manners; the tallest
boy, who was not more than IL years old,
said:
''Say, where's de Genral?"
General Pearson at that moment ap-
peared in the doorway and the urchin, ad-
dressing him, said, after making an attempt
at courtesy:
"Say, Genral, wen does Billy Riddles
funral cur off. We wanter take it in. We
knew Billy, we did, an tink it's right to be
at de burial. Billy was de newsies best
friend and we're goin' t'do de square ting
fhe's buried here.
The speech almost foored the General,
but upon recovering from his astonlshment
he informed the boys what arrangements
had been made. The action of the Arabs
showed the spirit they possessed and their
appreciation of their old friend.

terday, and when asked about the reported
discharge of Superintendent Kirkland and
other officials of the West Penn division,
said:
''I am very sorry that any reports reflect
ing on the integrity of the gentlemen should
have been published. Any such reports are
untrue, and the reason for the changes are
purely business ones. Mr.. Kirkland has
not kept pace with the development of his
division, but if he wishes to remain in our
employ he may do so. His resignation is
to go into effect on January /, but if he
stays be will be transferred to some other

Meeting of Greene County Members of the
Dowlin & Rush CATTLE Company.
Stockholders of the Laramie Plains Land
and Cattle Company to the number of
met yesterday in the Office of William H.
Dennison, and it seems to have been very
earnest gathering. The meeting was mainly
composed of Greene county farmers, who
wished to find way out of the complication
which confronts them.
Committees were appointed to make sale
of lands, cattle, hay, etc., proceeds to be ap-
piled to Indebtedness.
While the meeting was reticent while in
session, some members expressed themselves
plainly after adjournment. One said he
was Greene county farmer who, four years
ago, was worth $50, 900, and now was ruined
through the operations of the company.
With an original capital of $4,000, the
amount was increased 5000, 900, and in ad-
dition $4,000 collected in assessments
from Greene county people.
There was talk of all sorts of crookedness
having been INDUCED in and that a con-
siderable number of people in this city were
caught Many law suits are threatened, and
altogether it looked as though. the Dowlin
& Rush Cattle Company might hereafter
navigate very strong channel.

PRESIDENT YOUNG A POOR MAN.
A Friend Of His Says His Private Fortune
Haa Beeu Sunk


Has Been Sunk.
President w. W. Young, of the Lawrence
Bank, is poor man. A friend ofhis stated
that he has nothing except what kind asso-
ciates have given him to help him along
since the failure. He sold his home for
$500 and a lot in East Liberty for
$1,000, making $4,000, all of which he
put into the bank to try to save it. Last
Saturday Mr.. Young stated that there were
$500, 900 assets in sight, but he didn't know
what the liabilities will be. It is stated on
good authority that the Love Manufactur-
ing Company was as much responsible for
the collapse of the bank as the failure of
Long & Co.
The meeting of the directors of the bank
which was reported as having taken place,
on Monday, did not come of. Mr.. Allison,
the expert accountant, said no such meet
ing OF directors was called, and he couldn't
see for what purpose they would meet, be-
cause the affairs of the bank were absolutely
in Mr.. McKelvey's hands,
It was said that Assignee McKelvey had
resigned his position in favor of the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company. This
rumor has not the least foundation. The
assignee could not be seen, but he was
doing duty yesterday at the bank, and Mr..
Allison said that he had no intention of
resigning.
Cashier Hoerr would like all depositors
who still retain their bank books to send
them in so that they can be balanced, be-
cause delay in sending in books mean delay
in making up statement

CESAR COULD NOT COME IT.

Lack of an Audience Drives the African
APOSTLE to Despair-But He VIII YET
Soar in Triumph in Ethereal Air.
Rev. Cesar A. A. Taylor, NJ. U. D., ETC.,
etc., the gentleman of African descent, who
got himself into trouble with his landIady's
daughter, last week. was booked for a
lecture at Avery, Mission, Allegheny, last
night. The ebony exponent of multitudin-
Gus omniscience contemplated lecturing on
whatever his audience wanted to hear ex-
planned and discussed; but, alasI there was
no audience.
At o'clock the church was lighted and
everything put in readiness for the expected
crowd, but no crowd materialized. The
would-be lecturer, however, was on hand,
and, as the moments flew by and NO
expectant throng greeted his anxious gaze,
he became more and more excited. Finally
he abandoned hope and fled from the scene,
but not, however, before he had expressed
himself strongly about the non-appreciative-
ness of the general public.
The sable seeker after shekels was will
ing to acknowledge that he was partially to
blame for the dearth of hearers, saying that
since his late trouble and subsequent incar-
ceration in the county Jail he had not been
able to advertise the lecture properly. He
also reiterated his statement to the effect
that there was conspiracy against him,
but declared that he could not be downed.
tMy prosecutors are now on top, but wait.
The time is coming when shall soar above
theml the euntrammeledea eagle that cleaves
the blue ether with his tireless pinions, look
ing down on the earth and its inhabitants
with contempt" was what the dark divine
said to one of the attaches of the church.
One churehman, who wishes his name
withheld, said that he considered the Rev.
Cesar very small potatoes and few in
hill,
