From first to last the water supply
should be under the care of the head of
the household, and not trusted to serv-
ants. They will not take the trouble to
draw off the water tho first thing in the
mornings that has been standing in pipes
all night to corrodo lead pipes or absorb
sewer gas from adjacent waste pipes
which have the usual pinholes eaten
through them. Lead pipes will be eaten
away by water containing free oxygen
without carbonic acid; therefore pure
rain water Injuries lead pipes" says Capt.
Gallon, and the infusion of lead in the
water standing over night is quite
enough to give the babies collie and re-
new the symptoms of the grip in the
elders of the family unless the stream is
allowed to run until it is cold and clear.
This water need not run TO waste, but
may be saved in n firkin for washing
uses. a supply of fresh drinking water
for the day should then be boiled in n
bright tin lined or enameled kettle, for
the copper lined teakettles are only an
other of the deadly devices which abound
in housekeeping. Tea made from water
boiled in a copper lined kettle is a cor
rosive infusion equal to upsetting the
digestion in time, if it does not ruin the
vital economy altogether, like so much
arsenic.-Shirley Dare in New York

No Mans Land.

when one speaks Of 'No Mans Land"
we generally presume that he refers TO
that little neck Of land in the Indian
territory, lying between Colorado and
Kansas on the north and Texas on the
south. But such is not always the case.
The original mo Mans Land" is a little
tongue of land extending a few miles
south of the Mason and Dixon line, be-
tween the states of Maryland and Della
ware. Every now and hen somebody
starts the story that this tract Is, prop
erly speaking, part Of no state, literally
out of the jurisdiction of the United
States; that it is one of the left over
pieces of the whole country, wherein no
owns the ground upon which he
lives. On the maps the ground is cred
tied TO Pennsylvania, but, according to
these same authorities, the claim is a
shadowy one.
This triangular bit of territory was
marked off in a curious way. The east
ern boundary of Maryland was early de-
termined, but the southern boundary of
Pennsylvania was long a matter Of dis
pute. Finally Mason and Dixon began
their work as tho eastern boundary of
Maryland, and proceeded westward,
while the northern boundary of Delaware
was declared to be Il s~emi-circle, whose
center was New Castle. In surveying
the semi-circle it was found that the cir
conference did not touch the boundary
of Maryland at its junction with the
Pennsylvania line, thus giving rise to
this triangular bit of land, which has
been discarded by the three states and
only allowed to attach itself to Pennsyl-
vania for judicial purposes.-St. Louis

The heroine Of the hour just now in
Lisbon is a German girl, Fraulein
Johanna MaestrSk. Fraulein Maestrick
was born near Berlin, but went with her
parents as a child to Portugal. When
she was II an impresario, struck with
her size and beauty, offered to train her
as a female bull fighter. The agent
sent his pupil, who is not yet 90, to
compete at the show of female beauty
which took place at Lisbon, where she
carried off the first prize. The adver-
tisement proved an excellent one, forever
since the inpresario has been bombarded
with letters from persons Of all classes,
wishing to know when the beautiful
''torera" is to make her debut.
She has not yet appeared in an arena,
but last week she came out in a trial
fight at Oporto. A huge crowd collected
to see the unusual sight. The young
lady quickly laid two bulls in the sand,
and rode off followed by a band of music,
amid thunders of applause. Crowds of
people collected before the windows of
the hotel Mt which the "torora" was
staying, and far into the night she was
obliged to appear on the balcony in
response to their calls for her.-London

Mr.. T. II. HSf1ey struck a new and
forcibls idea when he said hat within the
past year there has grown up within the
ranks of the Republican party a new par
ty, still nameless, but the most infamous
and IrretreviEbly corrupt political orRani
zatiou that the country had ever known.
This party was under the leadership of
Mathew Stanley Quay, Speaker Reed
and Major Mckinley. Its leadership rep,
resented public infamy that had been pill
loried but a lew days ago by a Republican
CONGRESSMAN from Ohio in the house of
representatives. Congressman Kennedy
10 referring to Quay then said The
Republican party cannot afford to follow
the lead of a branded criminal. He has
failed to justify himself and though op-
portunity and ample time has been gwen
him be has remained silent. His silence,
under such circumstances, is confession
Of guilt Under such circumstances he
should be driven from the head Of a par
tv whose very life his presence imperils.
Ane lNtpubAC4u IhINN has NOue tuOuRu
for Its pretended leader. Let him be rel
egated to the rear. 1t is no longer a
question of his vindication. 1t is now a
question Of the life of the party ITSELF"
Reed. who has destroyed the parlia-
mentary presidents of 100 years, was
placed in his position by Quay. The
Mckinley bill was the result of a banquet
of mouopolistic manufacturers held in
Philadelphia. 1t was not a banquet 10
which the poor taxpayers or the ioiling
masses had any part or parcel, but it was
a gathering of choice spirits who have
waxed wealthy by grinding the life blood
cut Of the working men and women of
America. 1t was this third party, this
infamous aggregation Of political Phari-
sees, which had grown up within the past
year, that Judge Carey sought to Justify
to the people Of Wyoming, and whose
concrete degiltry 10 the shape of the Nc
Kinlsy bill he sought to commend 10 the

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

10 lnt E0liot u Ink LEADER
CHEYENNE, Sept. Sin view of the
constant declaration that the tariff is the
cause of high wages in the country, an In
v%estigation into the question of labor COM
pensation, will lead to the following con-
siderations: Does the tariff regulate the
rate of wages? Does the wage Garner re-
ceiye compensatory wages justified by
the protective duties? Does the tariff
reduce the cost price to the consumer?
The tariff is universal throughout the
United States; it's effects should be uni

if the twentieth volume OF the United
States census reports of the commissioner

THE ooMMANDANT's HISTORIC MANSION.

ceeded by Captain ]. w. Reilly. who remained
at the post from 1880 to 1856. Captain Reilly
was literary in his astes, and one of the most
polished scholars ever detailed here. His deep
interests in the efforts of PiItsburg people to
have the arsenal grounds turned into a national
foundry few years ago will ever be remem-
bered on his behalf. He is now in charge of
the arsenal at Augusta, Ga. Major Mckee fol-
lowed Captain Reilly to This point.
Colonel Morgan, the present offiuer second in
command at the arsenal, Is a member of the
celebrated Morgan family. which settled that
portion of Washington county now known as
Morganza. His father. James V. Morgan, died
only wear ago in this city, at the age of IS
years. 1t was Colonel Morgan's ancestors who
figure in the nations romantic history as enter
tanning Aaron Bur- on the spot now known as
Morganza. They exposed Burrs nefarious de-
signs on the Government.
Altogether, that old stone mansion in the
arsenal has had some interesting occupants.

THE EAST END STIRRED UP.
DELAMATER MEETING IN THE FRANKS
TOWN RINK.

John S. Robb Refutes Emery's Charges and
amaker Was Not There-Old Army
Stories From General Bussey.
The Americas Club held a meeting in the
Frankstown avenue rink, East End. last
evening. The weather was not of the sort
that would be the cause OF great amount of
enthusiasm, but the singing of a quartet in
side the rink kept the audience in a good
humor.
The club turned out go men, and, headed
by the Grand Army Band, had short street
parade after disembarking from the cable cars.
Upon arriving at the rink the meeting was
called to order by Charles Z. Baer, and Alex
ander Dempster, the coal operator, was chosen
Chairman. He made few remarks and intro
duced John S. Robb. Esq The latter paid a
glowing tribute to Senator Delamater's ability,
intelligence and honesty and business capacity.
As 10 Emery's charges, he said there was not
jot or little of legal evidence against Della
mater. Speaking of Pattison, be said he tried
to make the people believe that there was no
general issue at stake, but he knew that the
Mckinley tariff bill is on trial in this election.
Mr.. R0bb read the letter written by Senator
Cameron to Senator Quay on July 10. 1855.
about the latter's bail, and made strong de-
NAL of the charges made against the junior
Senator. In finishing he urged them to vote
Tor 1lelamater and he would guarantee that he
would make as good a Governor as Pennsyl-
vana ever had
Colonel Chill w. Hazard followed and read
letter from Postmaster General John Wana-
maker. in which the latter regretted his ina
bility to be present.
George w. Darr, Esq, a member of the Oil
Producers Commission which went to Harris
burg in the interest of the Billingsley bill, said
the bill was fixed in the interests of Emery and
his Philadelphia interests, and he was angry at
Delamater for the defeat of the bill in the Sen
ate.
General Cyrus Bussey, Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, was the next speaker. He told a
story of Is soldiers who, durilg a revival went
to be baptized. The occurrence was told to
the Colonel of another regiment, who. not to
be outdone, at once detailed 20 men for bap-
tsm. He understood. he said, there was some
one in Plttsburg, who is detailing Republicans
for baptism into the Democratic party. The
question Is, Will you be baptized?
No" was the shout of many in the audience.
He touched on the policy of protection, say
ing the people of Pittsburg do not fully under
stand what hey receive from protection. He
nkened the protective tariff to the Mississippi
levee protecting the surrounding fertile coun-
try from the raging waters. Continuing. he
referred to the good effects of the Mckinley
bill, stating that it would not raise prices, but
would reduce them. He concluded with refer
ence to the IMPOVERISHED condi ion of this
country under Democratic and free trade rule,
and its present prosperous condition under Re-
publican protective rule

DRAWING THE LINE.

Wholesalers Must Not Supply Saloons-The
Retail Grocers' Association Calling
Down violators of Its Rules-Pass Books
That Are Neat and Valuable.
The Retail Grocers' Association of Pitts
burg met last night in its hall on Smith
field street. There was good attendance
despite the inclement weather
The reports of the agents employed by
the association to collect bad debts we're
highly encouraging. They showed total
collection for the two weeks of S229 &C. The
collections that have been reported during the
past several months have been larger than ever
before in the history of the association.
On last meeting night complaints were en-
tered against Heinz & Co. and Lutz Brothers
charging them with selling to consumers. The
agents were ordered to see these firms concern
ing the charge. This was done, and, as a con-
sequence Mr.. Helpers was present at the meet
ing, representing Heinz & Co., and communi-
cation was read from Lutz Brothers The mat
ter was Immediately taken up. Mr. Keepers
was given the floor, and, in substance, he said:
The first knew of this was when was nnti-
fed by the association" He added that he
didn't know the line was drawn on saloons but
they never solicited the trade, and if their
wagons did stop at saloons it was without the
knowledge of the firm.
The association passed law some time ago
prohibiting wholesalers supplying saloons
CldSSluS iueul Will CDQSumefS. Il1S law was
never announced to many of the wholesalers
and the consequence is thai number OF them
have been supplying saloons lately. Mr.. Keip-
ers said that if the association stated lust
where it drew the line, the firm would without
further trouble, keep within it.
MIR. O'Donnell said that the line was not
drawn on large saloons and hotels. Hereafter
when the agents hear of complaints entered
against any firm it will be their duty to see the
firm, notifying them of such complaint, and
then if they don't obey, the matter will be
handed in to the association for action. The
communication that was received from Lutz
Bros. reads as follows:
GENTLEMEN-To the best of our knowledge We
do not sell goods to saloons. Our agents are in
structed not to do SO. We have sold few goods
to restaurants when called for, and were iInder
the impression that 1t was allowed by the associa
tion. Are other house men selling also? Will
you please advise us where to draw the line
Yours respectfully, LUTz & Co.
The Secretary was instructed to answer the
communication, stating very plainly Just where
the line is to be drawn. The matter was then
dropped.
The passbooks were brought to the associa-
tion room and were received. They are very
neat. There is one thing connected with the
books that renders them very valuable. They
serve as recommendation. For instance any
one holding this book can go anywhere in Penn.
sylvania and open an account with any grocer.
