DeIiQIlted Poople.

During the past few weeks, the music
warerooms of Mellor & Hoene, II Fifth ave.,
have been crowded all day long with visitors
to see the wonderful Eolian. Unbounded
admiration and praise is freely expressed
all round, many well-known Pittsburgers
securing Eollans for their homes. This IN
strument has already been introduced IN
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other principal cities, and will, beyond all
doubt, soon become popular here.
Few people have any idea what this IN
strument is, many resting under erroneous
impressions and imaginary suppositions.
The Eolian is an instrument which every
musically cultivated family should have, as
any member of the household can produce
upon it. with little practice, the highest
class of music accurately. and at the same
time with the most beautiful changes OF
tempo and tone coloring.
Endorsements of this musical wonder have
been received from the best musical experts.
including Mr.. Anton Seidl, OF the Metro
politan Opera House, New York, who Is
very enthusiastic in its praise.
Visitors to see this instrument on exhibi-
ton at Mellor & Hoene's are politely re-
ceiyed.

FLINT SCALE UNSETTLED.
Final Action Postponed Until After the Juno
Convention.

Final Action Postponed Until After the Juno
Convention.
The flint bottle scale remains unsettled, and
final action on it has been postponed until after
the coming convention of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union in Baltimore, which
takes place there in July. There have been
two or three conferences between the manu-
facturers and the workers committees, and
the various items in the scale have been dis
cussed. and each side has proposed the
changes and amendments desired by their
respective associations.
It IS understood that there are several i'm
portant changes submitted. among others an
increase on several points by the workers,
which the manufacturers are not willing to
concede. The manufacturers want reduction
on several items, which the workers will not
allow. In fact the exact position of either side
has scarcely been fully defined, for the reason,
it seems, that the committees had not been in
structed definitely as to the will of their asso-
Citations.
The scale in its present shape has been re-
ferred to the associations and their commit
tees. When they come together again they
will be empowered to act finally in the matter.
The date fixed for the meeting in Baltimore is
July l5. 1t is expected that the Flint Workers
Convention will have adjourned by that time.
and the committee will be in possession of all
the information on the subject.

SUED AN EX-ALDERMAN,

Mr.. Heinrich Gets Into Trouble About One
of His Own Old Cases.
Ex.Alderman Herman Heinrich, of Allen
town, was given hearing yesterday be-
fore Alderman Beinhauer on a charge of lar
ceny by bailee made by George Litz. The cir
cumstances of the case date back to the magis-
tracy of the ex-Alderman when Litz entered
suit before Heinrich against George Goetler to
recover 81 25 due for work done. Not much
attention was paid to the case. but as it is
claimed the Alderman did not pay over the
money which Litz claimed, and as he heard a
short time ago the money and costs in the case
had been paid by Goetler, he made demand
on Heinrich, but was told, he claims that only
the costs had been paid. Later the ex-Alder-
man denied that he knew the parties to the
suit.
The information was then made charging
Heinrich with larceny by bailee At the hear
ing Litz produced as evidence the receipt given
to Goerler by Heinrich and Alderman Bein-
hauer held him under bail for court. A few
hours later Heinrich had entered an informa-
tion before Alderman King, charging Ltz with
perjury.
