HUMANE SOCIETIES MEETING.
Work of the Associations to be Discusse,
at Nashville Next Week.

Work of the Associations to be Discussed
at Nashville Next Week.
The annual meeting of the humane societies
of the United States and Canada will be held
at Nashville, Tenn, on Wednesday of next
week Pittsburg's representative will be Pres-
dent Leonard d. Eaton. who. for many years,
has been one of the vice presidents of the Inter
national Association. At this meeting ques-
tions of interest to humanitarians will be dis
cussed.
President Eaton said yesterday: "The care
exercised by humane societies over helpless
children, who are orphaned by the desertion of
their natural protectors is by no means a Sec
ondary object, but has resulted in inestimable
good to those thus protected as well as the COM
munity. The influence of parental example
and the inevitable association with the igno-
rant and debased, when youth is left to follow
the bent of ignominiOus heredity, would unite,
without the prompt I'M rervention of these soci-
cites, in adding all these deserted little ones to
the already rapidly accelerating forces of the
criminal class. and IN course of time work social
and moral disorganization. Under the best
conditions youthful hearts and minds are suf-
ficlently prone to that which all good people
avoid, showing the faulty pre-notal influence,
which will require score of generations un-
der proper treatment TO eradicate"

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
THE CHIEF CASE BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT JUDGES.

Silverman's Appeal From the Quarter ses-
sions Court Heard Yesterday-A Case
Against Oliver Bros e. Phillips Was Also
Argued-Cases Quickly Disposed Of
The leading case before the Supreme Judges
yesterday was the appeal of silverman. the
Leechburg original package man. Silverman
opened an original package house in Leeeh-
burg on the strength of the United States
Supreme Courts decision, representing himself
as an agent for the Cincinnati Brewing Com
pany and selling beer in Original packages"
He was sued for selling liquor without license.
to minors and persons Of intemperate habits,
indicted and convicted. The court refused to
allow the "onIgfnal package" claim and
special allocatur was obtained from the
Supreme Court. 1t Is claimed that the Sec
tiOn of the ac: of 1887 on which the indictment
was made is in conflict with the Constitution OF
the United States and of Pennsylvania.
The counsel for Silverman contended that all
acts OF Assembly tending to regulate inter-
State commerce are unconstitutional. Liquor,
he said. is as much an article of commerce as
clothing. The police laws Of the State did not
apply to this case.
The counsel for the Commonwealth presented
the case as a man openly and confessedly yiO-
lating the laws of the State, then assuming the
position of an injured victim and asking the
court to administer those laws for immunity
from punishment,
Anargument was had in the case of Lars An
derson against Oliver Bros. & Phillips, appealed
by the plaintiff from the Common Pleas OF
Lawrence county. The suit was for damages
for injuries caused by imperfect brakes on q
car. Anderson was non-sulted on the ground
of contributory negligence. but an appeal was
taken and the claim made that the company
should provide safeguards for the protection OF
the employees.
Shortly before adiourning yesterday Chief
Justice Paxson disposed of eight cases in very
quick order: The cases were appeals OF Peck

STIRRING UP THE s0UTHsIDE.
John Coffey Speaks on the Issues of the
Campaign in the Odd Fellows Hall.

John Coffey Speaks the Issues of the
Campaign in the Odd Fellows Hall.
Odd Fellows Hall. Southside, was too small
for the audience that assembled within it last
night to hear addresses from prominent speak
ers on the issues of the campaign.
Mr. Robert E. Beck was elected to the chair
and John H. Gass appointed secretary. The
vice presidents included J. M. Miller, ]. w.
Pierson, John Douthitt, Joseph Hirsb. ]. Roess-
Ter, John Keil, Jesse Boyle. f. Locke. Tim
Hauey. Thomas Pierson, Edward Wheeler
John Nelson. K. Roessler and NJ. Nolte,
Mr.. Wetzel of the printers union. was the
first speaker. and he was followed in very
stirring speech by Mr.. Mccarthy, of Luzsrne
county. The Chairman then introduced ex-
Eastern green glass blowers. who was received
with prolonged applause.
Mr.. Coffey, in the course of his remarks, laid
stress on the fact that he was not present as
the subordinate of any particular party or in
dividual, but man disposed to engender
spirit of American independence on behalf of
a candidate for Governor whose past record
and present assurances indicated that he was
practically a true friend 10 labor. The speaker
took up PattIson's record and showed that as
the candidate of the minority party in the
State he was pursuing an aggressive policy
against thar of g defensive one on the part of
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Coffey showed
conclusively that Dewey. Carlton and Turner
had no connection with organized labor, and
that any political document coming from them
should be discountenanced. 4.
Mr.. Coffey said that Delamater during the
whole of his Senatorial career had antagonized
every bill which was introduced for the benefit
of the laboring man, and tnat the only thing
can commend him to the working people for
was his trucking propensities to political
bulldozer."

A GREAT SUCCESS.
AMERICAN MECHANIC MEMBERS STORM

Of verify the special day of the Jr. D.

two Saturdays, had so many people been

The Kirk Patents.

1t must be borne in mind that but few
days are left in which to examine these
wonderful patents in Mechanical Hall. The
exhibit has created profound impression;
for in these matters displayed have been
found the solutions to that ve1ed question
of the best system for slaekwater navigation.
You may hear about a model and may think
you understand 1t, but there is nothing like
seeing it in motion, that is, working model.
In this instance OF the great lock, with its
gates rising and falling as required, the
whole matter becomes plain, and you COM
prehend why this invention is 80 valuable,
and how it will reduce the difficulties OF
passing through the locks to a min
imum. Indeed, with this new plan,
it will be so interesting to prove
by personal experience that the
boat does not have to stop her engine, and
that no time is lost, that travellers will really
look forward to enjoying what has hitherto
been an annoyance and vexation. 1t is the
people who have given most thought to
these matters that so cordially indorse these
inventions, and admit without reservation
that they are practicable; that they can he
built at moderate expense; that they will be
durable when built; that they are worth
having, and will be the systems of the
future. These locks are apparently SO SIM
pie that it is marvel that they were not
brought out before; anybody might have
done it, but somehow nobody did, and it
was left to Arthur Kirk & Son to open the
eyes of Pittsburgers and others as to what
might be done.
The steam drills in this exhibit are as
interesting as can be, as they work away
so energetically. while in contrast
to them is the array of handsome canisters,
presumably filled with high explosives,
sporting and blasting powder, but it is only
the outward semblances of the terrific
weapons of destruction, the packages being
filled with harmless materials so that no
accidents could possibly occur. By most
visitors these goods have never been seen,
and to view these fac SMILES is both safe, in
teresting and instructive.

FUNERAL OF LEE QUON.
The Dead Chinaman Laid Away in the
Uniondale Cemetery.


Uniondale Cemetery.
The funeral of Lee Quon. the Chinaman who
died at the Homeopathic Hospital on Monday,
took place yesterday from the morgue The
novelty of Chinese funeral is diving out some
what and this one did not attract as much at
tention as former ones have done. There were
only about dozen Cinnamon in attendance,
with but single mourner-the deceased's
brother. Less than half of these accompanied
the bodyto the grave in the UniondAle Gene
terry.
One almond-eyed native of China insisted
upon riding on the hearse with the driver.
Nothing else would suit him and he was al
lowed the privilege. Along the way to the
cemetery the Chinese sIrewed small bits of
paper with some sort of writing them in
reference to the dead man. At the grave there
was no service. The burial was simple and
entirely void of peculiarities.
Lee Quon was born in China Al years ago. He
had been in PIttsburg about five years. He
was well-known among the Chinese population.
