FROM A FOREIGN SHORE.

Harry w. Patterson Home Again No Ro-
nance to His Disappearance.
The discovery of Harry w. Patterson
filling the place of a clerk in country store
has dispelled the little romance that weaved
itself around his sudden disappearance some
three months since, Immediately after his
return from Europe. 1t may be a matter of
congratulation to his friends to learn that
his life in the interim of his absence was
most exemplary, and his reputation in the
selfselected field of labor one which might
excite the emulation of youths starting out
in the battle of life. Though apparently
satisfied with his position, he raised no OBJ
lection to returning home He will arrive
in the city in few days.

THgIR SIDE OF THE CASE.
Union worI5men Of the Allegheny Light
Company Make Statement.

Union Workmen of the Allegheny Light
Company Make Statement.
The % union men employed by the Allie
gheny County Light Company have written
a long letter to President Gompers, of the
Federation of Labor, in which they give
their side of the case. They are members of
Local Union 1896, A. F. L., and claim the
statement made Is unsolicited by the COM
pany.
They hold that the Executive Council,
which has sanctioned the. strike, was not
informed of all the facts in the case, or
they would not have taken such action.
They say the inside, or shopmen, were not
consulted, and the strike was started by car
bon settlers and linemen,
The question of strike was not discussed
at the meeting of the union and never was
sanctioned by it. They claim the inside
men were kept in ignorance OF any such
movement
In conclusion they state that charges have
been made against the men who refused to
stop work, and they have been put IN a
false light with reference to other labor or
ganizations. thus engendering bitter feel
ings. They hold the strike was started by
one-fourth of the employees, and against the
advice of the reasonable men. The COM
pany is praised for reducing the hours of IL
hour men to eight and advancing wages un-
solicited. The signers claim that the COM
pany has not been fairly treated. Refer
ence is made to the activity of K. of J.. Of
icials when enmity is claimed to exist be-
tween the former organization and the Fed
Grafton of Labor.
When John E. O'Shea was apprised Of
the subject matter of the foregoing, last
evening, he said:
1T is mean, contemplate document to
come from any set of men, and especially
from persons who have placed themselves in
the position OF those men. Menl They are
hardly worthy of the name, since they have
sold themselves, body and soul, to the
ngnt company. They have sacrificed
their manhood, violated their obligations,
and are not any longer entitled TO be
reckoned as American citizens. Many of
those whose names are signed there were
present at the meeting of the union, and
voted for the strike. The strike was ordered
bv the union as a union, and not by any
section, and the insidemen were as fully
aware of what was transpiring as the rest of
the men.
Regarding the charge that the Knights
OF Labor officials were interfering In the
matter, it is not true. The document Or
dered By the General Committee of Organ
lied Labor was signed by its subcommittee
as members of labor organizations, and not
as belonging to any branch. Of the five
men whose names were attached to it,
two were straight A. F. of L. men, two
straight K. of L. men and one-myself-
longed to both. 1 regard the entire docu-
ment as an effort on the part of the men to
make good their cause, and that they have
failed think no man of ordinary intelli-
gence will doubt. They are now the special
prOteges of the Light Company. They are
known as the non-union men over the
whole country, and they can never get work
anywhere where union men are employed"

The Duqueane GrayH Are Preparing to Flight

thing like that to be held in the hall of the

Blast and Pudding Furnaces Being
Erected ar Clinton.
Some extensive improvements are being
made in Clinton mill in the West End that
will, when completed, make the capacity of
the establishment much greater. Changes
in the pudding department, which include
the addition of several new furnaces, have
been decided upon. To secure space for
these the ground occupied by half dozen
tenement houses has been taken. New roll
and accompanying appliances have been put
in, together with two new batteries of boil
ers. This week the remainder of the ground
will be utilized by the building of seven
more pudding furnaces and the putting in
place of the third new battery of boilers.
At the time these changes were decided
upon, the company operating the mill began
to repair their blast furnace, but subse-
quently concluded to tear it down and
build new one. The work of razing it is
well on and is progressing with all possible
haste,

TRAINING TIE MEN.

Pleasant Valley Employees Being Taught
How 10 Run the Road.
Engineer Cow, who constructed the Pleas
ant Valley road, said yesterday that the
company was busy training about 81, men to
properly handle the line and cars. The
road won't be started untiLthe men are
thoroughly trained and competent to do the
work. They practice daily, running cars on
the small loop in Allegheny. At night cars
will be run over the road to familiarize the
men with the grades and curves.
1t is the intention of the company to start
the road in week, but they will delay
month, if necessary, rather than begin with
incompetent men. All the cars are here.
and the line is in good working order.
Mr.. Cow also said that Pittsburg would
soon again have the title of Smoky City, un-
less the authorities compelled manufacturers
to put in smoke consumers Many mills are
returning to the use of coal, and. at the pres
ent gas rates, Mr.. Cow says that slack is
much cheaper for heating purposes than the
natural fuel.

How to Enjoy n Good Cigar.

A cigar dealer on Park row gives a lesson
on how TO smoke for pleasure.
"Few people know how to smoke cigar
TO enjoy IT," said he. Most men after
buying their cigars stick them between
their teeth and gnaw the ends Off reckless
ly. tearing and loosoning the wrapper in
many instances; light their cigars and put
away "a if their very lives depended on
finishing them. In many instances the
finest cigar will burn irregularly, and
smokers lay the blame on tho cigar
"The cigar may be to blame, but in most
instances the fault lies in the way it Is
handled. After the cigar has been bought
the end should be cut smoothly off by the
clipper. The reverse end should be placed
in the mouth and the cigar blown through.
This removes all the little particles of dust
which cannot be avoided in manufacture
and prevents them from being inhaled into
the throat and from producing coughing.
"Thc clear should then be lighted, and
particular attention should he paid to its
being thoroughly ignited all over the sur
face Of the end. Instead OF putting away
like steam engine, three or four puffs
every minute make the best way in which

kept in the mouth short time in order e
appreciate the flavor. Then it should bc
emitted slowly.
"In case one side OF the cigar should
burn and leave "A ragged edge on the other
side, It is not necessary to relight, rs
have seen many people do. 4 gentle blow
through the cigar toward the lighted end
will ignite the ragged side and it will burn
regularly Smoking this way is a pleas
ure. 1t frets me to see a man smoking q
cigar who does not know how to enjoy it, >

Rather Awkward.

The following story is told Of Forrest,
the American tragedian, and an eminent
Judge. When they were both young, and
unknown to fame and each other, they met
at a modern inn. BY chance they were put

the dark, each suspicious of the other.
They slept pretty comfortably-so well,
indeed, that they refused 10 rise in the
morning They were lying eying each
other with ferocious looks until noon,
when Forrest, making a desperate effort,
called out:
stranger, why don't you get upi"

beneath the clothes.
Presently the other raised his head and
said:

Here they would remain Tor some hmc
