Stevens Chair Compauy,

Our articles of manufacture belong to the in
dustries of Pfttsburg. Our combination of an
adjustable folding chair has now been before
the public for Is years. Our trade has increased
to wonderful proportions in all parts of the
world. This wonderful chair has no equal for
convenience, durability and elegance. The
time is not distant when every home will con-
tain one. 1t combines in one lovely article the
equal of five pieces of furniture, viz: easy cnair,
adjustable lounge, child's crib, invalid's re-
Ginning chair and bed. 1t is neatly finished in
All manner of upholstery suitable for parlor,
library or sick room. 1t pleases everybody
old and young alike. AS a birthday or holiday
present particularly, it is the most appreciable
gilt that can be made. We hoped to have
had an attractive display at the Exposition
barred out notwithstanding we were among
the first to place our names on the roll of life
membership as well as having been one of the
first to assist in the pleasing attractions at
every Exposition since 1876.
We feel now that by making good display at
our store. No. Sixth street, and offering
special inducements we can avoid very much
expense which is naturally incurred by an ex-
position display, and give our patrons the
benefit
We also manufacture chairs on wheels for
1nvaiids, and in fact we carry almost every
thing desired for invalids.
Another of our specialties is office desks of
every description. Largest stock at discount
prices.
We are pleased to state that in our special
lines we have had booming trade within the
past IL months. Right service and just dealing
are the secrets of success. Please examine our
stock at No. Sixth street.

A Pittsburrer in West Texa..

BRACKET, KINNEY COUNTY, Tex, Sep
tember IL, 1889.
A. F. Dignowity, Esq, Pittsburg, Pa.
DEAR SIR-Perhaps few words from
me at this time giving impressions etc.,
may not come amiss. Leaving Pittsburg
on the evening of the 31st ult., made no
stop until reaching San Antonio, which
place reached (barring several detentions
and a couple of freight wrecks) at 7 P. NJ,
on the following Tuesday. Your letter to
Mr.. J. V. Dignowity 1 was unable to
deliver owing to his absence from the city,
but I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. VIM.
Purkiss with whom I had long and pleas
ant talk. had often heard and read of San
Antonio as being the paradise of sports and
gamblers, and lawlessness generally, but 1
must say that In my two days stay here, and
think saw the city pretty thoroughly,
that did not see single drunken man, or
any signs whatever of a disturbance. I will
venture to say that in a New England town
OF equal size, you could not find a
more peaceable state of affairs. The
idea of men going around With pistols in
their belts looking for blood is absurd.
The day of such men as Bud Thompson,
Jack Harris, Billy Simms, etc., is gone,
never to return. 1 had several pressing in
Vitations to stay longer but as promised
you to go to Bracket, pushed on and
reached here on Thursday evening last. To
say that am pleased with the country. would
convey but faint idea of how like it. After
being so much accustomed to the high hills
of Pennsylvania, to be so suddenly trans
ferred to such vast plain, it did seem rather
odd at first, but the more see of the coun-
try, the better like it, and 1 hope the day
will soon come, when this vast fertile coun-
try will be dotted with towns and villages,
which will put to shame the boasted advan-
tages of the much talked OF West. And
there is no earthly reason why it should not
be so. 1 do not think you have over esti-
mated its advantages in the least, and I
am only too glad to add my little mite in
helping to build it up. had the pleasure
of driving over to your Mariposa ranch last
Sunday, and what a magnificent piece of
property it is. 1t must be seen to be appre-
ciated. With thorough, earnest and sys-
tematic cultivation, could be made equal to
any of the famous farms of South California.
Hope everything is progressing favorably
with you, and that the result of your labors
will be that Northern men will see these
things in the right light, and that it will be
to their advantage to come here. Person
ally 1 have found the people as hospitable as
can be found anywhere, and as for safety,
where else in the United States can you go
to bed on the ground floor, and leave doors
and windows open? The idea OF people
going round with their lives in their hands
is a bugaboo, and simply born of preju-
dice. With regard to the newspaper busi-
ness, matters are progressing favorably and
will be consummated shortly. With kind re-
CARDS, I am yours, very truly.

MUST ACT OR GET OUT.
The Lincoln School Board Must Show Why
They Failed to Elect Teachers-Citizens
Tired of SouahhIes.


A petition was presented in court yester-
day praying that the seats of the directors
of the Lincoln School Board, Twenty-first
ward be declared vacant, and that other
suitable persons be appointed in their stead.
The petition sets forth that the preseut
Board, A. b. Edwards. R. B. Ward, R. W.
Thompson, John Grist, E. j. Mclaughlin
and NJ. r. Cunningham were duly elected,
but they have failed to elect regular teach
ers or substitutes sufficient to properly con-
duct the school. The school opened on Sep
tember 2 with q number of vacancies in
the corps; by reason of the boards failure
to agree on a candidate, their children are
deprived of their lawfnl right to be taught
in the public school. The petition alleges
there is no question or dispute as to the
right of the petitioners, and others living
in the district to have such regular teachers
and substitutes elected, but the directors
have failed to perform their duty and the
school has not the requisite number of
teachers, and that they believe the directors
have made no provision for such election,
and that none will take place by reason of
controversies and disputes between them.
The signers are W. f. Aull, E. d. Smith,
John S. Dawson, Finley Torrens, Samuel
Shaffer, George w. Mcneil, G. r. Martin,
John Bradley, Samuel Heppenstall, j. e.
Ash, r. Lamont, A. K Henderson, Jos. S.
Brown and j. C. Jamison.
Judge White granted rule on the board
leturnable on Monday September q, at 10
o'clock, to show cause why they do not elect
the teachers, and In default why they should
not be removed.

B. l.. II. DABBs' PORTRAITS, ETC.
A Very Significant Display of Pittsbura
Notables in the Art Gallery.

The Art Gallery is always crowded, not only
in the main rooms. where oil colors and pastelle
predominate, but crowded where the photo
graphs have been allotted space Mr.. Dabbs,
as the leading photographer of Pittsburg,
holds our PittsDurg people very close to his ar
tistic heart, and the result has been that the
best pictures ever seen of many of our first
people are constantly found in his ateller
Some of these he transferred to the Art
Gallery and they are viewed with the greatest
interest by the thousands who have attended
and will no doubt hold as an attraction all
through the Exposition season.
The speaking likeness of the late Mr.. William
Thaw has been draped in black and is the GEN.
ter of respectful attention by all who enter
these precincts. Others are there who are
well known to the majority of visitors and each
receives Its need of praise. Mr.. Dabbs is es-
sentialy a portrait photographer, as he pos
sesses the heaven-born gift of posing his sub
1ect SO as to produce the best expression. He
does not seek after effects, he reproduces
nature, and all can understand this: hence his
popularity. No young bride feels that she has
fulfilled all the requirements of her new
position until Dabbs has photographed her face
and form in bridal costume and made a feature
of the veil. Being in love with his art, he
throws all of his soul into his work, and the
result is that Dabbs is the synonym of per-
fection.

with everything useful for the housekeeper's
requirements; the floor the counters the four

streams; New Era clothes washers that cleanse
the clothes without rubbing, the suds being
pumped through them by hydraulic suction;
1ndurated fiber ware that can't rust. in all pan
and pail forms; Silver & Co.'s glass rolling pins
that insure fiaky, creamy, puffy paste, because

cles, and visitors who have seen this exhibit on
main floor will best realize what a herculean
task it would be to even enumerate the items.

AN OLD SWINDLE.

A Raised Greenback Passed of on ]. L..
Masten-Detective Coulson Expects a
Flood of Counterfeits.
The green goods business has been probs-
bly exhausted in the newspaper reading
population of Pittsburg, and the man who
entices another to back room to purchase
5000 for 5000 has gone to New York to So
licIt subscriptions for the Grant monument,
or to Chicago to fleece the verdant Suckers
on a Worlds Fair project. The raised bill
is now the style in which the ordinary
crook and extraordinary swindler seek to
beat the Pittsburg public.
On Friday afternoon the Office OF j. l.,
Masten, postmaster at Beltzhoover, was In
vaded by placid-looking stranger, who
wished to buy dollars worth OF groceries,
which, with registered letters, postage
stamps, bills for unpaid tailors and other
necessaries of life, are to be found in every
rural postofice. With the ready willing
ness to accommodate which pervades the
Postofice Department from John Wana-
maker down, who might drop his canceling
stamps to show a customer into the ready
made department, the Beltzhoover post
master showed the way into the grocery
sanctum. There the purchase was made,
and a $40 bill handed over as far as appear
ances are concerned.
But appearances are deceitful, and so was
the $40 bill. 1. was 50, the vignette of
Major General Hancock on the left-hand
lower corner smiling as sardonically on the
changed condition of the bill as he did over
the fatal delay of Mcclellan after 'Septem-
Der 13, 1862 The word Two, engraved on
the front of the bill, had all the T and part
of the erased with lead pencil, and the
figures 40" clipped from revenue stamps,
were stuck on over the Is in every position
required.
Detective Sol Coulson has the case in
hand, as we'll as the bill, and says it is as
we'll a made-up "raiser" as he has ever seen,
and would be liable to deceive any person
taking bill in a hurry. He thinks that
this old species OF swindling revived is
simply used to pass time away and take atten-
tion from dangerous counterfeits which will
stand the inspection of non-experts, and
may shortly be sprung on the community.
The raising of 81 bill to $40 entails con-
trouble, and the amount gained is
not sufficient to repay the risk, so he says to
look out for counterfeit twenties, tens, and
over, which will show no pasted numbers.

A TIGHT GAS LINE.
The New Wrought Iron Pipe OF the Phila-
delphia Co. Stands the Test.

The New Wrought Iron Pipe of the Phila-
delphia Co. Stands the Test.
Superintendent Brown, of the Bureau of
Water, yesterday was present at the test of
the new wrought iron pipe to be used by the
Philadelphia Company. 1t was a 36-inch
tube, over mile long, of steel plate riveted,
and Mr.. Brown says it is the tightest gas
line he ever saw. and more secure than any
as yet laid, either in or out of the city.
Ritter & Conley are the makers, and under
10 pounds pressure there was no appreciable
leak in mile or over, which is q most ex-
cellent showing.
1t carried more gas than anyone would
suppose, being fed by two 16-inch, three 10
inch, two 8-inch and two 6-inch pipes, and
would carry more gas than anything he has
ever seen in the shape of pipe.
He said, further: ''This will inaugurate q
new era in the gas pipe business, / have no
doubt, as the diminution of friction is the
great point to be attained; and one pipe of
large diameter, as shown by to-day's expert
ment, will carry more than great number
of smaller ones"
The new pipe will probably be adopted
for all mains.

PIANOS, AND PNEUMATIC SYMPHONY
ORGANS.
E. G. Hays & Co., IS Fifth Aveuue

This young firm has a most creditable ex
hibit of genuine novelties. They are very
young men, but are manifestly progressive
They believe that an Exposition should be in
structive; that it is an educational affair; not
time for bringing out the same old too familiar
objects, but the time to receive new impress
sions and ideas. Therefore, not one of the old
style dark wood cased pianos is to be found in
their space, but choice, selected specimens of
French walnut, English burl oak bright rich
hued rosewood, mahogany and ANTIQUE oak.
The pianos carried by Hays & Co, are the
Mathushek THAT will stand any amount of
hard work and persistent usage); the Lester.
and the Hazleton Bros. The grand
of this latter make is noble in
strument, beautiful action, and deiiciously
full sonorous tone. The miniature Cabinet
Grand, called the Petite BIjou," has won
many encomiums. 1t is astonishing how much
sound the little thing gives out, despite its
short strings; the very thing to take with
serenading party or a picnic, or similar oc.
cason where large instrument would be too
cumbrous. The Wilcox & White pneumatic
symphony organs are the greatest invention of
the day. Music is produced by the feet alone
or by hands, or by both together: every register
of reeds acting upon the pneumatic organ
Anybody can procure music from them, musi-
clan or not; no wonder they are SO popular
The exhibit is so bright and cheerful and the
mechanical bird sings SO blithely, and Ii all ia
so pleasant, that people congratulate the YOUNG
firin that has stepped right to the front with
such courage and aplomb.

GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA CO.
The Leading Tea House of the World.

The Leading Tea House OF tne "ori"'
1t is no wonder that this tea company has
met with such success when one takes INTO
consideration the energy, enterprise ana push
displayed by it from their start in 1861 TO tne
present day. The fact that the name OF tnls
tent than any other in the world goes to prove
that its business was great success.
There have, however, been no imitators VINO

not hard to discover. The Great Atlantic ana
Pacific Tea Company, with its 200 large stores
in different cities of the United States, mas
been able to conduct its business on a scale OF
magnitude that enabled it to obtain prices Iar
below its competitors, and thus sell TO its
patrons at the lowest prices. Everyone should
call and examine their stock of teas, which
include all the choicest varieties known. MOST
celebrated among these is the Thea-Ne ectar,
put up in one-pound boxes. only 60c pound.
With each pound a special present is given. 1t
is upon the fine quality and delightful flavor OF
this delicious brand of tea that much OF the
high reputation of the company has been built.
II is worthy place on any table,
The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
has six stores in PIttsburg and Allegheny,
which have been highly prosperous under The
management of Mr.. Owen Jones' doing very
large business in the most satisfactory manner

HANDSOME MANTELs.
Kramer & Redmnn, Limited, and G. T. Her.
rick 6s Co., 7OS SmitbfieId ST.

While occupying no regularly allotted space,
these enterprising firms have specimens of
their beautiful workmanship at the Exposition
that are revelation to Pittsburgers of the
power of home manufacturers to produce as
handsome settings for freplaces as can be
found. In Groetzinger's parlor display they
have placed mantel in the style of Louis
XIV, in white and gold, with hearth of ONYX
tiles, the whole trimmed with brass p. C.
Schoeneck's display they have mantel OF oak,
with an Elizabethian fireplace beneath. Also a
wonderfully handsome wrought iron fireplace
Other superb pieces of art work in hardwood
mantels, in tiles and CRATES in brass silver and
wrought iron, may be seen in the spaces occu-
pied by Messrs. Dauler, Close Johns, Bovard,
Rose & Co. and Thomas Pickering
The massive doors of Machinery Hall are the
production of Kramer & Redman, and that
firm made the beautiful EXPOSITION case OF
Boggs & Bull; while the fireplace and exduis-
ite blue thing in Roenigk's room display are
from the house of G. T. Herrick & Co.
Enough has been said to indicate that these
firms have made splendid showing at Pitts
burg's Exposition. They court inspection of
their artistic hardwood mantels and tilng and
at 7OS Smithfield street show as bewildering an
array of these beautiful pieces as can be seen
anywhere. They have the finest and most ex-
elusive line of novelties in wrought iron CRATES
and open ireplaces and in tiles, marble and
ceramic mosaics ever seen here. 1t is matter
for congratulation to Pittsburgers to know that
such high class work can be, and is done every
day here in their city.
