told me that he had secured marvellous
results in a case where powerful opiates
had failed, by using virus from the bite
of a rattlesnake.
"But the mass of queer prescriptions
are brought in by ignorant people, and
are not vouched for by any member of

a lock of hair from the head of baby,
five whole black peppers, the tooth of

Spilled Milk.

A gentleman who CHANGED to meet
A wee child crying in the street,
Paused in his course to ask it why
And what it was that made it cry.
II lost my penny sir" it said.
Here" said the friend, lis one instead"
But hardly had he turned to go
When tears again began to flow.
Returning to the child said he:
Now, why are all the tears see?"
"Pd have two pennies now," it wept,
IF the other one had kept
How often with enough we've sighed
For something we have been denied.
Our natures are with longings filled
For cream that is forever spilled.

Seeds and Words
ed q seed beside q path,

OCCuS uuu VOINSs
I dropped seed beside path,
And went my busy way,
Till chance or fate-I say not which,
Led me, one summer day,
Along the self.same path, and 10!
A flower blooming there,
AS fair as eye has looked upon,
And sweet as it was fair.
I dropped sympathetic word,
Nor stayed to watch it grow,
For little tending's needed when
The seed is good we sow;
But once l met the man again,
And by the gladstone way
He took my hand knew l sowe
The best of seed that day.

IN THE PENN BANK CASE.

Exceptions Fled Ye, terdny by ATTORNEY ID.
T. wntson-He Alleges That the Mnster
Erred In Numerous Places In His Find.
ings-Whnt is Claimed.
D. T. Watson, Esq, yesterday filed in
court exceptions to the finding of the master
in the Penn Bank case. The exceptions are
on the part of Thomas Hare, Philip Rey-
mer, James Hardman, A. A. Hutchinson,
j. o. Brown. F. Laughlin, s. Severance.
A. M. Cavitt, George c. Davis and I. B.
Swearingen, of the defendants. 1t was
claimed that the master erred in not finding
and reporting that the decree in the case OF
Warner, assignee of the bank. against Hare
and others was bar to any relief under the
present bill for the alleged negligence OF the
defendants. He also erred in finding, notwith-
standing the provisions of the charter. that the
directors would be liable for losses suffered by
the bank by reason of their negligence, and in
not finding that under the charter the directors
were not liable even IL losses had happened to
the bank caused by their neglect or want of or
dinary care.
the assets on April 20 1884, amounted to nearly
81, ,300, 600. He should have added certificates
of the United Pipe Lines for oil aggregating
100000 TO 100000 barrels at a market value Of
from 81 to 81 Is per barrel, and that w. n.
Riddle, either by himself or with the assistance
of others, unlawfully and without the knowl-
edge of the directors, abstracted the certificates
and converted them to his own use.
tis claimed the master also erred in finding
that the fictitious accounts of Hill & Co., d.
Wilson d Co. and Watson q Co. represented
transactions aggregating over s5,0000O0 from
February, 1888, and he should have found that
the fictitious account represented part of the
losses of the Riddle oil syndicate, for money
abStracted from the bank.

New Castle, and r. s. Loytou.
Major Mcdowell stated that the eourts had
finally disposed of the bribery CHARGED and
the decision should settle all doubt. Soms ~
ticularly from Butler, will meet at Harmonv
to-day TO nominate an Independent RepuS
lican candidsre. The Major thought that II.
w. Phillips, of New Castle. would be the man.
He doesn't believe ir would be good politics
for Mr.. Phillips to accept in the long run, if he
expects political preferment in his district.
Mr.. Mcdowell says the Republican majori ~
in the district is 1000 and he figures that
he will be elected, even if Mr.. Phillips is
candidate against him. He said Mr.. Phillips
supporters are in Butler county, but it remains
to be seen what time will bring forth.
Mr.. Phillips was in Pittsburg yesterday. He
held a conference at the Duquesne with several
gentlemen, but was very non-commIttal. He
declined to say anything. Mr.. McCracken
stated that the present complications in the

fault.
The Democrats will meet shortly to nominate
candidate. 8. L. Hoyt seems to have the
inside track. He is wealthy and capable Of
making good fight.

When the parade reached the Grand Gen.

into the old building, which is mass of dec
orstIons, and passed in review before the
stage. The men marched up the right aisle
and. after crossing in front of the stage,
passed down the left and middle aisles and
took seats to hear the flow of German ora
tory and eloquence. IL was nearly IL o'clock
when the audience was seated. and Rev. Joseph
Suhr pastor of IS. Peter and Paul Church,
began his address of welcome. He said:
As viewed the parade tonight and saw it
Cathedral my heart, and feel sure the heart of
every priest, bounded with delight. What a
fine set of men; what grand appearance made
cur boys in the uniforms, and what grand
proof this sight afforded to the fact that we
are all bound in the unity of the allglorious
Roman Catholic Church We are Catholics;
we are loyal citizens, and we stick to the colors
OF our Lord Jesus Christ. We are as the de-
tenders OF our faith, faith for which We
fight with our life's blood even unto death.
"As you are aware. there is a serpent just now
abroad in this country which is imbued with a
false love for the land of its nativity. This
serpent goes around and points its false tongue
at everything that is foreign, at everybody that
is not born in this country. But we must crush
this serpent Not with the weapons of blood
and destruction. No, we must fight it at the
polls. They who do not love the land in which
their fathers were born cannot love the land in
which they are born themselves.
"Now. as to Pittsburg. We all know there is
lots of dust, and dirt and smoke here. but let
me assure you all who have come here that
beneath the sooty exterior beat hearts as white
as snow, and while the water of our Monon-

1t where they brew a drink that is good enough
for anybody. fContnued cheerlng.l

THE BUILDING TRADES MEAN IT.
They Will Support the Painters Against the
Knights of Labor Men.

knights of Labor Men.
The policy of the Brotherhood Of Painters
was carried into effect yesterday, and in one
shop members OF this body refused to work
with Knights of Labor painters. This was in
the shop of r. G. Miller on Sixth avenue.
ANY doubt as to whether this fight against
the Knights of Labor would be prosecuted in
reality were cleared up yesterday, 1t was as
certained that at the meeting of the Building
Trades Council on Saturday night resolution
was put and carried pledging the trades repre-
sented, excepting the bricklayers, who remain
neutral, to support the painters in their action.
This was agreed to unanimously, and as re-
suit the carpenters, timers, marble cutters,
electricians and other building tradesmen will
refuse, when called.upon. to work with Knights
of Labor painters.
When called upon has q certain amount of
significance. The war will not be waged against
the order all at once. but one shop will be taken
at time and operated against until the knights
have deserted 1t. This is the reason why more
shops were not idle yesterday. The feeling in
the council on Saturday was so pronounced in
favor Of this action that resolution was
actually introduced pledging the painters
financial support. It was withdrawn at the re-
quest of the painters delegate who said they
didn't require any.
The plain English of the matter is that a
stubborn and probably long drawn-out war is
to be waged against the Knights painters. The
Building Trades Council have decided it shall
be SD, and as they are the stronger, they will
probably win. Master Workman Evans claims
to know that the plasterers, carpenters and
stonemasons will not support the movement by
the painters. In this he Is mistaken. 1t is un-
derstood that the action by the painters is not
to be confined to Pittsburg When hsadway Is
throughout Western Pennsylvania and thence
through the West.

VISITORS TO PITTsBURG EXPOSITION
Can MIKE $50 Clear.

Last year it cost us upward of $4,000 to
exhibit at >the opening Exposition. We
have been kept SO terribly busy this sum-
mer, however, in selling our pianos and
organs, and banjos and mandolins and
guitars and brass horns and sheet music.
that we actually found no time to get up an
exhibit for this years show. However, we
propose to give our customers the benefit of
this great saving, so that anyone who will
buy piano or organ, or any other instru-
ment during the continuance of the fair.
will get the benefit of an extra reduction in
price of goods of 5 and 10 per cent. Visitors
to the show can therefore make some $50 by
calling at 81. Kleber & Bros music store,
506 Wood street, and buying one of their in
struments. They are the sole agents for the
famous Steinway, Conover, Gabler. Opera
and Emerson pianos; also for the wonderful
Vocation church organs, and the mouse and
dustproof Earhuffparlor organs. Anything
in the music line which you cannot get az
Kleber's is not worth having. Don't fail to
call at Kleber's, then, 506 Wood street.

DR.. Ernest Leber, the Center Leader In the
Reichstng, Present.
Among the distinguished men who are in at
tendance at the German Catholic Congress is
DIR. Ernest Lieber, of Camburg, Germany, the
leader of the Center, or Catholic party in the
Reichstag. He succeeded the celebrated DR..
Windhorst. who retired from politics in 1888 on
account of his old age. His party always op-
posed Prince Bismarck, and was instrumental
in securing the old chancellor's retirement
DR.. Lieber is at the Schlosser, but
ho declined to see reporters until
to-day. This Is the way they
do business in Germany and is his right, but it
Is not in accordance with American newspaper
enterprise. The Doctor claimed that he was
too busy receiving friends. He will make
speech at the Congress tomorrow.
Two years ago he was in Pittsburg when he
was not so well known. He has sister in a
conven; in New York, and he spent several
days with her before he came to Pittsburg
His visit to America at this time is to attend
the congress.
There are also three Bishops in the city at
tending the congress-Bishop Haid. the Vicar
General of North Carolina, Bishop Jansen, of
Illinois, and Bishop Rademccher, of Nashville.
The Bishops are being entertained at the Holy
