LEGALIZING PRIZE FIGHTING.
Old Virginia Now Offering City of Refuge
to Pugilfsts.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-When,, March
6, the Governor of Virginia approved bill
Incorporating the Virginia Sporting and
Athletic Club, greater stimulus was given
to the deplorable "sport" of prize fighting
than it has received in years. The bill is SO
worded that all officers, either municipal OF
State, are forbidden to stop or inter-
fere in any way with any contests
between men or beasts that are given
by the club. Any kind of contest
can be given, and nobody has right to in
terfere Herewith. The club is stock COM
pany, and shares of stock will be put on the
market in few weeks. Men with money
stand ready to take the stock, but the men
running the club are very particular to place
the shares "where they will do the most
good" as one of them said last week.
The plan is to build a clubhouse near
Washington, D. c., and there give prize
fights almost within gunshot of the Capitol,
avoiding the necessity of fighters. going to
San Francisco to secure police protection.
The question has been raised as to whether
the act is constitutional, but this would have
to be decided by the courts.

A. Northrop & Co.'s New Circular-An
About Paueled Iron Ceilings,

A. Northrop &5 Co.'S New Circular-All
About Paueled Iron Ceilings,
II you are building, send stamp for this
circular.
II you are repairing building, send for
it.
If you have any rooms with old broken
plastered ceilings, or old, decayed and open
jointed wood ceilings, send for it.
Our patent paneled iron ceilings have
been before the public for the last eight or
ten years, and now there are thousands in
use, scattered all over the Union, in stores,
banking offices and hotels, white its superior
acoustic properties has brought it into ex-
tensive demand for churches, halls and opera
houses. Its low cost and cleanliness intro
duces it into schools and asylums. And
now the increasing demand for something
to take the place of plaster for residence
ceilings, something that would crafty the
artistic taste of our most cultivated house
wives, and still be permanent and endur-
ing, and thus save them the constant annoy
ance and expense OF re-plastering and re-
papering; something that could be applied
over the old broken plastered ceilings with
out being compelled to take down and re-
move the dirt and dust-covering stuff, has
prompted us to bring out these beautiful
designs OF embossed metal plates. These
emOosSeu plates are audpIeO 10 sue Walls as
well as ceilings, working up beautifully
into wainscoting, frieze and field. Al all
figures and designs are in relief, really very
little brush decoration is needed. They
are, however. susceptible of any desired de-
gree of ornamental decoration from simple,
quiet tinting to the most elaborate and or
nate display OF coloring, gliding and bronz-
ing, giving abundant scope for display OF
taste and talent to our most gifted decora-
tive artists. Address A. NoRTHRoP & Co.,

THE DOSE REPEATED.
McAlister Brothers INDICATED in the
Oleomargarine Suits.
UNITED STATES COURTS OPEN.
Ths Metropolitan Sues Agent Kay and His
Bail is Doubled.
NOTES FROM THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE

McAIister Bros. feel doubly vindicated.
The suit against them charging them with
selling oleomargarine was knocked out In
the United States District Court yesterday,
after getting a similar dose when tried be-
fore Judge Slagle.
The prosecution was by the Internal Rev
enue officers, but William McAlister states
that it did not originate there. He says II
was instigated spite work on the part ol
some people who chad it in" for the firm,
because he had been President of the Anti
Oleomargarine Association. He said they
had been asked to gay license, but refused
because they were not selling. He said the
case was trumped up one.
Yesterday District Attorney Lyon stated
that as the prosecution had failed on full
hearing to make a case before Judge Slagle,
the United States would not be able to main
tain it, and SO granted nolle pros.

Phenomenal Growth in Popularity OF the
Everett Piuno-Factory Capacity to be
Doubled.

Phenomenal Growth in Popularity OF the
Everett Piune-Factory Capacity to be
Doubled.
One would think that a piano factory
which turned out so finished pianos per
week, would be almost enough to supply all
America. Yet this has been the production
of the Everett factory, and now we are noti-
fed that the company are at work on the
foundations for another factory of equal
capacity, and by the first Of October will be
making 160 pianos per week. Think of it,
and ask why it is. that while other max
ers are struggling for existence, this COM
pany cannot supply the demand for their
pianos. The reasons are simple. The fact
is that the Everett Company are a rare COM
bination of money and brains. The present
factory, while not the largest, is probably
the best equipped and most systematically
conducted one in the world, consequently
they are able to make a frst-class piano tor
less money than other makers. This being
the case, 1t naturally follows that the wide
agency for the Everett piano. They are the
foremost pianos of the day, and ample proof
OF this can be found at the agency in this
city, where you can get pianos of almost
every other make, which have been taken in
exchange for the Everett. Alex. Ross, of
1877 Federal street. Allegheny, has con-
tracted for $50 of these pianos, and while
these last, has reduced the price SIS on all
styles, SO that you can now get one of the
finest pianos in the world at $3.50, in a rose
wood case, or at 1876 and $400 in any of the
fancy styles OF mahogany, antique oak,
French walnut, etc. These are cash prices,
but you can arrange to get one of these
pianos on payments to suit your own con-
venience. Dc not fail to see them, or send
for circular, to Alex. Ross, 137 Federal st.,
Allegheny. TTsu

Session About One Month.

united states Court "Opens and Will De IN
Session About One Month.
Tie United States District Court opened
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, with Judge
Acheson on the bench. On the organiza-
tion of the grand jury. l. H. B. Brownlee,
of Washington, was appointed foreman. A
short address was made to them by the
Court, in which they were told that the
District Attorney would give them all the
information required relating to their
duties, and that their work ought to be
finished in week.
The first business done was to issue at
tachments for witnesses in 16 cases. The
failure to appear was made on appeals by
those summoned that they were too poor to
come from their homes, which are in and
about Scranton. Deputy Marshals will be
sent to bring them here.
To begin business the grand jury re-
turned in the morning with true bills
against the Somerset county counterfeiters.
There were indictments against James Fl.
Wilt, 4 against Jerry Wilt, against John
Sipes and against Edward Brisbin. A
recess was taken at IL o'clock, and when
court again began at 2 o'clock it was found
that the defense was not ready to proceed
and court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
day.
The criminal docket for the term is a
large one and includes a number of cases of
postoffice robberies, violations of the reve-
nue. laws, sending obscene matter through
the mails and counter citing.
The Circuit Court will open on the first
Monday following the close of the District
Court and will be of interest to this city,
particularly on account of the trials in the
Jeanette glassblowers' case and of the
Monongahela Navigation Company case.
There is a probability OF both going to the
Supreme Court. The terms of both courts
will likely continue one month. Detective
McSweeney arrested another alleged coun-
terfeiter at Johnstown on Sunday night in
the person of William H. Speicher, and
lodged him in the county Jail.

THAT SOUTHERN HURRICANE.

Rather Serious.

MoNTEvIDEo, May 5.-The hurricane
which prevailed here last week caused
serious damage to the shipping at this port.

A QUESTION OF EYES.
People With Light Optics Most Easily Influ-

People With Light Optics Most Easily Influ-
enced by Hypnotism.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
"In my experiments with the mysterious
influence called hypnotism 1 have made
some queer discoveries" said DIR. James
Arnold. 81 find that it is impossible for me
to hppnotize a man who has hazel eyes,
having hazel eyes myself. But other physi-
clans, having eyes shade lighter or darker
than mine, can control the same persons
with whom 1 have failed with ease, and
vice versa. Why this is cannot say. All
physicians who are practicing the art say
that the lighter the eye the more easily af-
fected is the person. People possessing
dark eyes are generally nervous in disposi-
ton, and cannot concentrate their sight and
thoughts without a very hard effort, which
considerably retards the bringing about Of
the hypnotic condition"
