LIKES AN IMPULsIvE GIRL.

A Pittsburg Ofacial Who Doesn't Object 20
Explosive Exclamations.
"I like girl that will say darn it occa-
sionally," remarked prominent Pittsburg
official yesterday afternoon, "and one that
will put vim into the exclamation, too"
The speaker being highly moral man,
and one held up as an example of what
honesty and integrity will accomplish, be-
side being of unimpeachable manners, nat
uralIy aroused curiosity by his statement,
which was appeased by the following:
"There's more get-up, energy and am
bition about such girl every time than
there is about one of these painfully proper
maidens don't insist upon that accom-
plishment in my list OF requirements when
girls apply to me for positions, but at the
same time, if 1 hear a smothered ejaculation
when things go wrong at the typewriter or
desk, consider it good Recommendation
and always find that I have in the eiacula-
tor good employe. It isn't always a sign
of poor breeding or vulgarity in ny opinion,
but is the natural outbreak of
a girl possessed of an impulsive, nervous
nature, that can't endure defeat or being re-
tarded at their labor-in fact, one that an
noyances annoy. On the other hand, take
the excruciatingly prim miss who Is never
provoked into an under-breath exclamation,
and she lacks the qualities of push and de-
termination that make q success of business
life. Ten to one she's indolent, and simply
works to put in the time and draw her sal
ary-takes NO interest," and is not affected by
anything that causes disturbance. Give me
the girl that will say darn it, every time. "

CANNOT BREAK A HABIT.
A. Prominent New Yorker Who is Unable
to Change His Walk.

A. Prominent New Yorker who is Unable
to Change His Walk.
Gas was standing in one Of the largest
mercantile establishments in New YORK City
not long ago." said Warden Wright, Of
Riverside, the other day, "my attention was
called by my companion to the Pecuilar
walk of one of the dignitaries OF the place
He was q man of middle age, handsomely
attired and sported diamonds worth small
fortune. The popularity in his walk was
that he would take one, two, three, four
steps, abruptly stop, turn and retrace MS
footsteps, and then repeat the performance
any number of times, without varying tne
monotony In the least The bowed heao
and preoccupied air of the walker seemed
habirual and in keeping with the Walk, out
where did he contract such habit!
Some years ago there was NUMBER OF
prisoners transferred to Pittsburg from Phil
adelphia. Among them was that man. he
was condemned to hard labor and worked
his time out. Each evening, however, he
took a certain amount of exercise In his
short, narrow cell, in which he could only
take four steps when the wall would force
him to reverse. When liberated he went
West, invested legacy in mines, unearthed
q fortune, returned East, and is now one Of
the leading men in vast concern; and, IT
should round out this story By giving names
and dates, 1t would be surprise to thou
sands of people to whom the name is very
familiar one, but who have probably never
remarked the strange work that remains as
a specter of early associations"

A BATTLE ABOUT BEER.
AN ODD SUIT TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST
A SALOON KEEPER.

A Brewing Firm Objects to Wrongful use
of Its Advertising Matrer--A Test Case
Thar May Prove Inferesting-Severai
More Applications for Divorce.
John Marion, Esq, yesterday filed bill
in equity in Common Pleas Court No. l, on
behalf of Paul Wuesthoff, agent for the
Schlitz Brewing Company, of Milwaukee,
for Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
and Ohio. Plaintiff complains that w. Z.
Mack, licensed liquor dealer on Federal
street, Allegheny, bought ard sold the
Schlitz beer up until the middle of July
and then ceased. Prior to that period Mack
had two fancy signs calling attention to and
setting forth the merits of the Schiitz
beer. After ceasing TO patronize the Mill
waukee firm Mack continued to sell other
beer, claimed by plaintiff to be inferior to
the brand he represents and selling it on the
strength of the reputation of plaintiffs beer,
not only unjustly assisting other brewers,
but allowing customers to be misled and at
the same time injuring the reputation OF the
Schlitz product, in the manufacture OF
which several hundred thousands of dollars
are invested. 1t is not charged that the de-
fendant said he was selling Schlitz beer,
but that he allowed people to think SO by
keeping the signs on exhibition.
Wuesthoff says his attention was called to
the matter by complaints coming from
Mack's customers that the Schlitz Brewing
Company was allowing the quality Of its
product to run down, slop in the form OF the
Milwaukee product being sold as the genu-
inc stuff. A preliminary injunction is
asked for, which the plaintiff expects to be
made final, restraining the defendant from
exhibiting the Schlitz Brewing Company s
signs.
The case is somewhat out of the ordinary,
though there have been some somewhat
similar, in which plaintiffs won. Some
years ago bitters-making company was re-
strained from using trademark represent
ing st. George killing the dragon, the same
trademark having been previously adopted
by Hostetter & Smith. In another case a
brewing company had sign fabricated re-
sembling closely the heraldic device chosen
BY the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Company
to advertise its brew. The defendants In
these cases were forced to pay costs and get
up new trademarks.

Aliegheny's Meat and Milk Inspector Has
Grist of Them.
Meat and Milk Inspector Lippert, OF
Allegheny, was at Boston to see the G. A.
R. Encampment and is just now beginning
to tell some of the experiences. "One
morning." said he, 81 started out with q
Cincinnati friend. We found news stand

PITTsBURG DISPATCH"
Another story of the same trip is that
Chief Murphy arrived in Boston short
time before G. A. E. Post 12S, of Allegheny.
Happening to discover where this post was
to be quartered, he visited the owner of a
fruit store in one portion of the building.
He told the man who he was, and then
quietly informed him that Post 128 was the
worst body of thieves that ever left Allie
gheny. The man became alarmed, and at
once sent in a request for police projection,
and when the gallant Allegheny veterans
went to their quarters they found other blue
coats to stand guard over them.

A LONG SIEGE OF EUCHRK.

Prof. Luckey Considered by a Late Op.
ponent to be Well Named.
Some Pittsburg people have had great
game of euchre lately. 1t began in Queens
town, Ireland, and ended in Altoona last
Tuesday morning, with only intermissions
for meals and sleep on the steamer. The
contestants were Charles A. O'Brien, ESQ.,,
and James Wilson on one side, and Prof.
George J. Luckey and William B. Neal.
The deciding game of the series, the 1S5th,
was won by Messrs. Luckey and Neal.
Mr.. O'Brien says that Prof. Luckey is
the poorest but luckiest player he ever en-
countered, and that when he won the tie
game BY pure bovine luck he roared for the
porter in tones that awoke ali the people in
the sleeper and ordered 81 worth of refresh
ments, the greater part of which, O'Brien
alleges "Old Fortunatus" consumed him
self The voyage was so placid that only
the most bilious had any excuse for getting
sea-sick.

The Free Organ RecitaIs At Carnegie Hall
Keeping Up Their Hold,

The Free Organ RecitaIs af Carnegie Hall
Keeping Up Their Hold,
The record of large attendance was un-
broken at yesterdays free organ recital, the
fifteenth in the series which City Organist
Wales is so successfully conducting in Car
negie Hall. The organ sounded infinitely
more melodious than usual, due to the
fact that the organ has been placed in
thorough tune. Among the most striking
numbers of the programme were the two
Gavottes, one by Meyer-Helmund and the
other by Saint-Saens. Kreutzer's brilliant
overture, Das Nachtlager in Granada, and
q potpourri from Suppe's opera, "Clover,"
were two excellent examples Of the lighter
school of music.
A surprise was afforded by the new waltz
BY Roland w. Mossman, the New York
telegraph operator of The DIsPATCH's
special wire, entitled 'sLa Belle- Blonde"
1t has delightful motif. and is bound to
prove popular. Lovers of classical music
feasted upon Won Weber's Invitation to
the Dance" No more diversified or charm
ing collection of bridges could be imagined.
The vocal music was cleverly given BY
Miss Louise Germer, Of Chicago, Ill. Here
after in response to numerous suggestions

SAYS he was we'll received. The people are
all at sea and unable to agree on site. Un-
less they select one very soon no fair will be
held in Chicago in 1892, in Colonel Ander-
sons opinion. His plans were adopted for
the lake front site, which he thinks is the
best, but the transportation companies, the
fakirs and cheap boarding-house people are
against it, because they can't make as much
money out of it as il some other place were
taken. The Colonel's ideas in detail have
already appeared in The DISPATCH.

The average sentence of the convicts was

Penologists agree that the existing condi-

They are at no loss to find remedy, which
they say may be found without much travel

is loose administration. 1t is the general
opinion that vigorous enforcement of the
