PROUD OF THE BUILDING.


An English Engineer Says the New Postonlce
4. Not Surpassed In Europe.
Inspector Pattison, of the Government
building department, was found yesterday
at the Third avenue corner of the Central
Hotel looking at the new postofice. As he
complacently surveyed the building smile
lit up his face, and he made these remarks
to a reporter;
''There is as beautiful structure as there
is in America. Notice the quadrangular
shape, and then compare it with the public
buildings in Philadelphia. They are
stretched along one street between Market
and Chestnut. The Pittsburg building
couldn't have had a prettier location,
though it should have been larger to allow
of broad approaches. .
"About three weeks ago an English engi-
neer was here looking at the new postofice.
He had been sent out to make comparisons
between European ana American archi-
lecture He told Mr., Malone that there
wasn't finer building in Europe than this
one. The French have some magnificent
public buildings, and the English in recent
years have erected some great ones in India,
but he gave it as his honest opinion that
none of them would discount the Pitts
burg edi6ce. 1 have never trav-
eled in Europe, but I know con-
siderable about foreign architecture,
and can indorse this engineers strong and
Aattering opinion. The Government, by
the way, in all frst-class cities has built
structures in keeping with their surround
ings. Nothing on small scale or unsub-
stantial is put up. 1t takes time to build
them, but the people are always proud of
them when finished"
A new boom was put in yesterday, and
the work of laying the stone on the east
tower was commenced. About 26 feet re-
mains to be built.

FORGING INTO FAVOR.

Advent Of the Elderberry on Liberty street
Ways Of Making the Hitherto Neg.
lected FraIt More PopuIar-A Commits
sion Merchant Who Didn't Get Left.
The scarcity of fruit this year may be the
means of bringing the elderberry into a
measure of popularity it has never before
enjoyed. There are comparatively few peo-
pie who find it palatable, as it has very
rank flavor, and, though there are those
who praise the wine made from it, the
majority who drink it make wry faces
and say they only use it for its sup
posed medicinal qualities. As many people
will be forced to use the elderberry or
90 short on berries, some inventive woman
may find some method of overcoming the
rank favor.
It is berry that so far has stood the
assaults Of insects, frosts, and even the
husbandman who makes war on it annually.
There are three days in August in which the
superstitious say cutting the STOCK
will kill the root Some people are
glad, this year, that the hardy annual
has survived. A commission dealer on
Liberty street received consignment one
morning last week of nearly 100 crates OF
elderberries. His neighbors laughed at him
and supposed the dump would get the
greater part of the consignment, but by
evening the dealer was smiling on both sides
of his mouth, and in the center, almost the
entire lot having been disposed OF at GOT
cents q quart. Since then they can be seen
at frequent intervals along the street, and
while slower sale than huckleberries, yet
they move fairly we'll.
It is said that if sweetened with honey.
elderberries are quite palatable, and make
good substitute for those which nature re-
fused to supply this year. or at least very
grudgingly. Some housewives mix with
the elderberries they can for pie fruit a
small quantity of stewed apples.

An Odd Story Told About One of the Modern
Traction Mngnates.
'sYou say Mr.. Widener will be here
Tuesday," asked a middle-aged gentleman
yesterday, as he overheard reporter talk
ing about the coming meeting of the Pitts
burg Traction Company stockholders at the
Duquesne.
Eyes. Do you know him2"
"No; but his name reminds me of little
incident which caused good deal of COM
ment among the neie hbors."
''What was that?' asked one of the party.
"Well, you know just after the Philadel-
phia Traction Company got to working, Mr..
Widener's bank account began to swell at a
great rate, and he bought large place di-.
rectly across the street from the Ogontz
school for girls, just out of Philadelphia.
Well, he must have spent several hundred;
thousand dollars in fixing the place up and
remodeling the house, and the neighbors
commenced to talk about his enormous
wealth, and the girls to wonder if there was
were, how they were to meet the men, just az
school girls do. They were not kept in sus-
pense long, for Mr.. Widener put in an sp-
pearaDce, and his good looking SON started
driving tandem" round the country roads,
The only trouble, however, was that
he would not firt and the bellies
commenced to contrive means of meeting
him. All kinds of things were thought of,
but none seemed feasible, until one of the
most daring decided that she would sprain
her ankle in attempting to get out of the
road of his cart, and of course he would
have to drive her home.

The Choice of Ihe People.

Seldom in the history of politics have the
people taken such an interest as in the pres
ent Congressional fight in the Twenty-third
district. A round taken among the mer-
chants and business men has developed the
fact that beyond question Mr.. Shiras will
receive the nomination. The feeling for
Shiras seems to be the result of the disgust
felt by the people at the attempt of Stone to
capture the nomination without going be-
fore the people or receiving single vote. And
this coupled with the fact that Stones only
supporters are the politicians about City
Hall, Allegheny. who think their own ends
well subserved by the nomination of Stone,
have aroused the people. So that there is
settled determination to see that time,
however, it may have been in the past, that
the voice of the people shall be heard at the
polls, and that voice needed by the nomina-
tion of Sfiras, who is the peoples candidate,
and that their representative in Congress
for the next two years shall be of their choice
and not that of the politicians.

CROWDED WITH PEOPLE.

The Streets, Theaters and Other Places of
Amusements Thronged.
Pedestrians in the lower part of the city
did not have to be reminded that last even
ing was the first theater Saturday night 1t
was noticeable everywhere. Smith6eld
street and Fifth avenue were jammed with
people, who jostled along, some with bas-
kets, some with bags and some with ''jags. 4"
The billiard rooms and other places Of
amusement were also crowded, and it is safe
to say that not one table in the city was idle
during the evening. Quite a number of
people also walked down to the Exposition
building to get peep at the work going on,
and were angry when denied admlttance by
the officers.

TOO MUCH SALT WATER.

A Corporation Fight and No Legal Rudder
TO Steer by-Srrenks of Lean TO Alter.
nate With the Fat In a suburb of Pitts
burg.
The petroleum fever has been great boon
to Coraopolis, and has done much toward
its development since the first we'll was
struck on the George Ferrie farm last
spring, but at present the town is asked to
take streak of lean along with the fat.
One of the borough Councilmen, Thomas
F. Watson, according to the story told,
stopped ditch in some way so that salt
water from a well on his premises
overhowed the property of Captain
R. B. Kendall. Salt water is a
good thing in its way, but in
large quantities it is not an agricultural
stimulant. and so the Captain proposes to
sue the borough, it is said, on the ground
that it is responsible for Mr.. Watson's acts
in the management of the highway, he being
a member of the Street Committee. On the
other hand, it is said that Burgess Alfred
McCabe takes the ground that Watson's ac-
tion did not complicate the borough, from
the fact that the Council did not direct him
to stop the flow and throw it out of the estab-
lished channel, and that in consequence the
tort is his own and he is responsible for it.
The story is also told in another way, and
that is that Captain Kendall sued Watson
and recovered, and that Watson then fell
back on the Council, contending that the
borough should be held responsible for his
acts. Whichever may be the correct YER
sion, there is snarl that, in the desuetude
of baseball gossip, gives people of leisure
in the village something to discuss equal in
interest to the tariff or the Lodge bill.
The borough having neglected to elect a
legal adviser, gives large play for the e1er-
this connection friend of Councilman,
who was said to have favored Arch Rowand,
says that Rowand is not the bone of conten-
tion at all, but that there is dark horse in
the stable that will be entered for the race
whenever it is made.

FERRY AGAINST BRIDGE.

An Injunction to Prevent the Construction Of
River Crossing.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by the
Riverton Ferry Company against the Nc
Keesport and Duquesne Bridge Company.
1t is alleged taat the defendant company
has erected piers and sbutments for the pro-
posed bridge. and that it is on ground now
occupied by the plaintiff company, who
secured the property by patent right. When
the defendant company asked for their
charter, it is alleged, they agreed not to erect
. bridge within 5000 feet OF any ferry or
bridge company now in operation, which
agreement the defendants are alleged to have
violated.
An injunction is asked for to restrain the
defendants from continuing the work, and
also that committee be appointed to assess
damages the plaintiffs have already been
subjected to.

of the county Jail.
