THE FIGHT NOT ENDED.

shiras Says He is Sill i'm It-Lively Scenes
Scheduled for To-Day's Convention
One Man Arrested and More Are Prom.
ised.
The Republican Congressional Conven-
ton in the Twenty-third district to-day will
be fully worth the price of admission It
will assemble in Common Council chamber,
at 10 o'clock, and the red fire is scheduled
for few minutes later. Shiras will contest
the seats of II delegates. The general
charges are corruption, illegal voting and
intimidation by the police.
In seven districts it is alleged the police
kept people from voting for Shiras. In the
Second district of the Twelfth ward. and the
Second district of the Tenth ward Mr.. Shiras
had policeman and City Hall employe up as
his delegates. The day of the election, he
claims, these men were notified by their su-
periors that if they did not withdraw from the
tight their positions would be forfeited. Mr.
Shiras also claims that he has the majority of
the popular vote and expects to get the nomi-
nation to-day
The opening of the many developments
which are to follow to-day was made last night,
when on information lodged by the Allegheny
Republican Citizens Committee, warrant
was issued for the arrest of John Thompson,
member of the election board in the First dis.
trict of the Twelfth ward. The charge is for
violation of the election laws and was made
before Alderman McMasters. The information
charges that Thompson knowingly and will
fully received the votes of people not
legally entitled to vote: that he suppressed
and concealed ballots of several persons, and
refused to deposit them in the box, and that he
tore up the ballot of one man after it was cast"
The Citizens Committee is preparing other
cases in other districts. and against parties
somewhat higher in authority than Thompson.
The Stone men claim there is nothing to be
feared. They say they have two-thirds of the
delegates, which will entitle them to select the
Committee on Contested Seats. Colonel Stone
will make contests in four districts.

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.

Young woman's Strange Death In q
wyIie Avenue FIat-she Did Not Want
10 Die In tho House of a Friend - Ar.
rests TO be Mnde.
The body Of Mrs. Ollie Grimes, of Johns
town, a woman about % years OF age, is
lying at the Morgue, and a man who is
suspected of having something to do with
her death will be arrested. There is a mys-
terry surrounding the affair, and it will be
sometime before it is cleared mp.
Mrs. Grimes arrived in the city from Johns
town yesterday morning and went to the rooms
of friend, Mrs. A. ]. Scorer. wife of grip
man on the Fifth avenue traction road, living
in the Smith block, at the corner Of Wylie ave.
nue. and Federal street. After dinner she went
out, saying she was going to meet a friend, and
at supper time came back, saying her friend
had gone to Ohio and she had not seen him.
She ate supper and after leaving the table was
seized with commissions. She said to Mrs.
Scorer:
"For Gods sake get my clothes and get me
out of your house. l am going to die, and do
not want to be found dead here. do not want
to make trouble for you and will 60 out and die
on the street."
MRS. Scorer was frightened, and seeing the
woman was sick, sent for DR.. Blumberg, living
across the street. The doctor arrived and
worked for an hour with the woman. but could
not bring her out of the convulsions. He
worked with her until about o'clock, when
she expired.
Coroner Mcdowell took charge Of the body,
and had it removed to the morgue. Drs. NC
Candless and Blumberg will hold post mortem
examination this morning. and it is supposed
they will find that the woman took dose OF
roison. In her pocketbook was found her ad-
dress and the address of the man she went TO
visit. A pawn ticket on the Keystone pawn
shop for plain gold ring was also found. and
inquiry developed the fact that she had pawned
the ring, saying she had no money.
HAssisiant Inspector Coulson was called out
of bed and started to look for the man whose
address the deceased had in her pocketbook.
He is railroader, and will probably be appre-
hended. The Chief OF Police of Johnstown
was also telegraphed to for information about
the woman. A special inquest will be held on
the body at o'clock this afternoon.

nees who have Just returned from the sea-
shore. Salt water bathing works sad destruc-

COUNT OF the fact that they are used to 1t.
EXPLODING THEORY.
Candy and other sweets are alleged to be
pad Tor the teeth, but that is an exploded
theory Pure confectionery will do no harm.
IL Is the adulterations that work the trouble,
affecting the stomach and at last through this
means running the teeth. The teeth are very
sensitive and must be taken care of as much as
any other part Of the human body. For this
reason we hnd that the wealthiest people have
the best teeth, and it is the poorer persons who
are compelled to use false ones The latter
look upon 1t as only matter of time until the
teeth must give way. and consider il unneees-
sary to have filling done, doubtless in MANY
cases thinking it merely for the sake of apDear.
ance But they are sadly mistaken and if thew
were to take care OF their natural teeth in
time. it would not only save them expense and
numerous aches, but would leave them good
natural teeth, which can never be bettered by
the dentists art. except In the way Of keeping
them in good condition"
Dr. j. ID. Bell. of Federal street. advanced
the same theories as did DR.. Hamilton. While
he finds great number of cases among chill
dren, he finds that other people are affected
from the same causes. In cases of this kind
it IS often difficult to locate the ache. Some
times the patient locates it in the upper row,
when in fact 1t is a lower tooth that is offend
ing. This is caused by the action of the nerves
crossing each other, and often, if the trouble
is not Immediately attended to. the entire set of
teeth begins to ache ''in sympathy"
In almost every office visited by DISPATCH
representatives yesterday, lady was found
seated in the operating chair, and the dentist
was hlling cavity with gold or grinding out
an old filling that was causing an ache or pain.
A lady Will never sacrifice tooth if there is
any possible way to escape She would rather
Sit in agony for several hours, while the dentist
tortures her with all sorts of instruments than

the risk of linz tInrs sI,nr - e..

THE HE NO TEA HONG
The Drawing Card of the Exposition.

The Drawing Card of the Exposition.
Nothing appeals more strongly to the feel
lngs than the ability to rest when one is
tired; therefore there is still another reason
for the marked appreciation of the japanese
exhibit. The visitor ensconces himself in
one OF those great, roomy chairs with their
broad arm rests, an attendant serves cup Of
fragrant. delicious tea, in which the aroma
has been carefully preserved, and the tired
and weary can at ease and with solid salts
faction take in the charms of this wonderful
. japanese bamboo structure. The more you
study 1t the more you are impressed with the
peculiarities and perfection Of this bamboo
work. Apparently light and fragile, it is in
reality strong and durable, and will bear
surprising amount of strain, and lasts an in
credible number of years. Just as the
building invites investigation, so does the
He No Tea; you call early and often, and
with each fresh trial of the aromatic herb
comes more decided liking for the flavor.
The taste grows upon you and you don't
try to resist it. So far rs the reporter could
judge it was not black tea nor green tea,
nor a com bination of the two; it was simply
He No Tea. product OF Japan that is COM
parable with nothing else. Glancing
around the terrace you notice the curious
porcelain six-sided ottomans, which the
Japanese use as they drink tea at the odd
shaped but exceedingly pretty tables per-
tanning to that land. For variety and for
ornament they are delightful but they don't
meet American ideas of comfort. When you
see these things you realize that Americans
are very Sybarites in all that relates to
personal comfort; but we cannot make fine
teas, and we know it, therefore we equalize
matters by drawing upon other lands for
what we must have. The He No Tea greets
us at the threshold, and knowing u good
thing when We meet it, we, as it were, take
possession of He No, and it is ours-so far
as the exhibit is concerned-they make it
ours, for, without cost or price, they hand it
out In the most liberal and generous way.
The cups are rendered you, you drink the
contents, return the cup, and the great
transaction is for that time concluded. By
and by your return and rehearse the whole
business ad infnitum. Verify the state
ments for yourself if such unbounded hos
pitality is beyond your comprehension.

Boys and girls at Curry q University being
under the direct instruction of the best
teachers in the institution every day gives
these students advantages that cannot be
had in any other Pittsburg school. Parents
desiring the best instruction for their chill
dren should remember that in these classes
the average student learns more in two
years than he can in three years in other
schools. The rates here are as low as other
schools, while the time saved to students is
worth many times the cost of tuition. A
three years. course in school for nothing is
much dearer for 16-year-old boy than a
two years course that costs $150-and does
as much for the boy. The best is always the
cheapest
