THE BARNES SAFE EXHIBIT
In Mechanical Hall.

In Mechanical Hall.
The Barnes safe was established in 1845.
and its growth in 45 years is something to
think about for this manufacture has now a
worldwide reputation, honestly won. The
excellence of the product is exemplified in
the superb collection of safes shown in this
display. The Barnes safes are only manu-
factured by 'The Barnes Safe and Lock
Company" Nos. 124 to 131 Third avenue,
Pittsburg. Thousands of these safes are
now in use in the United States, and the
Barnes Safe and Lock Company holds un-
limited numbers of testimonials which have
been received from owners of safes that stood
the test of the most terrible fires which have
ever devastated this country.
THE CHAMPION SAFES.
There are, the burglar proof bank safes
which weigh some 1000 pounds, and have a
Sargent and Greenleaf time lock. They
are the handsomest bank safes made in this
or any other country. 1t is worth the time
of any man interested in keeping his securi-
ties and valuables intact to make himself
thoroughly conversant with the superior
qualities of this safe. for everything that
modern science has developed in the way OF
security for books and valuables against
depreciation and robbery is employed in the
Barnes system. Around and in the space
is an attractive collection of freproof sales
of all sizes and varieties, finished in the
highest styles OF artistic decoration. 1t is
no unusual thing for safes to be sold from
this exhibit, and the purchasers have evi-
IDENTIFY no objection to seeing their firm name
appear over the door.
VAULT DOORS
are another of the specialties at this dis
play. In this class OF work Barnes stands
at the head. There is scarcely building of
Importance in Pittsburg where vaults are
used that has not been supplied by the
Barnes people. While Pittsburg is nat
urally the headquarters OF the Barnes man.
ufactures. the sale OF safes is by no means
confined to this territory; indeed, the rsmi-
fcations of this gigantic business extend
into every State and Territory of the Union.
This Barnes display of safes is pro-
nounced by travelling men to be the finest
shown in any exhibition ever held from one
end to the other of this land. 1t may be
stated that sales are constantly being made.
as the safes are looked upon as prize speci-
mems, and parties desiring a safe apparently
take pride in securing one which has been
built tor expert criticism.

ARTISTIC AND EFFECTIVE.

The New Touchine-Up of the First Pres.
byterian Church Ready for 1nspection-
How the Walls aud Ceiling Have Been
Thoroughly transformed.
Carpets will be laid, pews vanished, and
everything will be in readiness in the First
Presbyterian Church ior service this morn
ing. The interior Of the sanctuary
presents decidedly attractive ap-
pearance, the walls and ceiling having
received an artistic dressing, under the
supervision of Messrs. Leake & Greene.
A noteworthy improvement has been made
in the ceiling. This formerly was stained
in imitation of dark walnut, and was dull,
heavy and colorless, but by the adoption OF
a more copgenial scheme of ccloriDg. the
whole interior has been rendered more inter-
esting and pleasing. The field of the cell
ing panels, in warm ivory gray, is confined
by decorative border of soft red, on a
background Of pale amber, while the rib
holdings, in olive yellow, are emphasized
in lines of pale gold.
By the ornamentation of the wall spaces
from the frieze to the ceiling, in shades of
amber, yellow and brown, the desired de-
gree of enrichment is obtained, and frieze
motive of medieval outlines, modeled In
tones OF olive green and warm red, on a
background of soft yellow, soitens the bold
but harmonious contrast of the mellow
depth of orange-brown wall, below which,
in turn, is finished by an ornamental wains-
coat band in clouded shades of crimson
brown.
AS the pulpit end of the auditorium is
naturally the center of interest, here no
effort has been spared to give it its proper
decorative Importance also, and here we
find the predominating tone one of deep
red, which otherwise would be too somber
were it not contrasted and relieved by a
churchly design, wrought in gold and
lighter color.
In treating the architectural holdings
which form the pulpit arch the necessary
contrast en- masse has been achieved by the
arrangement of gold and color, and the
whole brought into harmony with the wall
coloring by an ornamental band of conven-
tional motive extending around the arch in
orange gold, on clouded ground of russet
brown.
In strong analogous contrast to the main
color motive Of the interior is the organ
front, which is treated in subdued shades
of peacock blue, crimson brown and gold.
Opalescent stained glass windows, yet to
be put in, will be of field ivory yellow, re-
lieved by band of amber, terminating at
the window heads in gothic treatment in
ruby brown. deep amber and italian green.

NOW COMES THE RUSH
0ut-of-Town People Flocking to the
City by Thousands
TO VISIT THE GREAT POINT SHOW.
Voters Unanimously Favor Giving the
Society More Ground.
SOME VERY INTERESTING FEATURES

Oh, what crowd there was at the Expo
sitlon yesterday Every person within 200
miles OF Pittsburg, who has been putting of
from time to time their projected visitto the
great show, is now hurrying to the city, and
what good-natured, sights-absorbing people
they are. After seeing thousands Of people
explore the Exposition from end to end, and
after noticing the evidence of interest on
their faces, who could deny the benefits OF
the Exposition as an educator.
Ali day yesterday throngs OF persons
could be seen coming and going from the
Exposition buildings. The excursionists
proposed not only to visit the big show, but
at the same time to do some shopping and
60 to the thester or other places of smuse-
ment aud interest
SHOPPERS FILLED ALL THE STORES.
All the stores visited yesterday were filled
with shoppers, and some of the clerks
wished the Expo in ''Dixie." 1t was the
same at the theaters and on the street. Go
where you might-to the Expo. theaters,
stores or on the street, the influx of excur-
sionists was found en- masse.
In the evening the city people augmented
the crowd at the Expo. 1t is curious, but
hundreds of city people visit the Expo
nightly and seem to revel in the brightness
and air Of excitement and novelty.
The DISPATCH headquarters was taken
by storm yesterday and big vote cast. The
subject was, "Should the city give more
ground to the Exposition next year" In
the opinion of a politician the voting
was not interesting because there
was no conflict, no divergence
of opinion-all said yea. But stop; that is
hardly fair. There were just nay votes
cast, but among the 229 ayes they were
nearly lost track of.
BooMs FOR SHOW AND CITY.
And the reasons that were given were so
weighty in their arguments that one would
be inclined to say "Give the Exposition So
ciety all the ground it wants. Boom the
Expo and conversely the city for all it's
worth"

Wedding Ceremony Over In Three Min
utes-Delay of Only Seven Minutes to
Train, in Order to MIKE Young Couple
One.
The 2O-minutes-divorce-rail stop OF
trains in Indiana was beaten in Washing
ton county, yesterday. Mr.. Will E. Robi-
son, of Beallsville, postmaster and agent of
The DISPATCH, and editor of the Weekly
Telegraph, and Miss Lou jeffrey, of East
Bethlehem, boarded the train at West
Brownsville, and contrived to get married
on the fly, while coming to this city.
The party did not wish 10 be married at
the home of the groom, but the postnfice
would not keep itself, and Mr.. Robinson
could not get leave of absence so as to get
a marriage license in this city, and how to
get married away from home, take a trim
and be back for duty on Monday morning,
was the question to be solved, and Mr.. D.
NJ. Watt Superintendent of the Mononga-
hela division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and Colonel Chill Hazard, helped the in
terested couple out of an interesting di-
lemma. Mr.. Watt had the train stopped at
Monongahela City. Editor Hazard had
secured the attendance of Rev. j. T. Riley,
of the NJ. E. Church, on the depot platform.
Mr.. Robinson and Miss Jeffrey stepped
from the train to the platform, and Rev. Mr..
Riley pronounced the ceremony without
wasting any time.
The train stopped at 5:14 o'clock P. M,
and was again on its way at 5:21, the cere-
mony occupying just three minutes. An
immense crowd had assembled at the sta
tion, and band was playing the wedding
march as the bride and groom stepped upon
the platform. As the happy pair stepped
back aboard the train, the crowd showered
rice upon them, until they were literally
covered with the esculent.
Conductor Ody and Flagman Bently
scrambled for kiss from the bride, but
George Earnest cut both out by the presenta-
tion of an elegant bouquet and bewitching
smile, and carried the, day.
1t is said that Horace Scheck, the engi-
neer, was so much excited that he ran past
several stations without stopping, and Con-
ductor Ody lost his reckoning, and is not
certain that he did not miss the collection of
several fares.

West End Company Promises the Electric

A few of the citizens of the West End
have been talking about holding an indig-
nation meeting for the purpose of devising
ways and means to compel the West End
Car Company to build its electric road.
Councilman Halliday heard of the matter.
and called upon Superintendent Burns. The
latter gentleman informed Mr.. Halliday
that work on the new road could uot be
commenced until spring, but that it will
certainly be done then.
The company, it is understood, put con-
siderable amount of the money originally
intended for the road into the Second Ave

anything with the West End line until
