EARLY CLOSING.
The Merchants Interviewed, but All
Are Very NOn-COmmittal

As hot summer months are rapidly APP
| preaching, the question is often asked:
| will we get off at : o'clock again?' Last
| year the early closing hours We're in
| vogue. every important establishment
closing its doors at p. m, except on
| Saturdays.
With a view of finding how the early
| closing hour plan stood this summer a
| LIGHT man called upon several of the
| merchants who employ a large number of
clerks Some of the business men very
| readily gave their views on the subject
others cOnServatiyely withheld them, bnt
none expressed themselves as decidedly
antagOniStic to the plan.
From Wolff & Marx it was learned that
they closed every evening at half past
seven, land we would just as soon close a
half hour earlier as not, it makes no par
ticular difference" says Mr.. Marx.
Julius Tengg, of Mic Tengg'S. asked to
be excused from giving his ideas on the
subject in print.
J0Ske Brothers. who employ a consider
able number of persons who would be
greatly benefited by the change said.
''Whatever understanding the majority
of the merchants come to, am in favor
Of"
Hugo q Schneider told the reporter
that they already close earlier than seven
o'clock as general rule. theirs
being a wholesale house. SO the early
closing hours would not cover their
grounds.
Mr.. g. t. Frank. at Solomon DcutSCh'S
when asked what his sentiments on the
system were. replied: We have no Senti
mentS on that subject that We are willing
to express.
Mr.. l.. WOlfSOn. whose recent express
ions seem to indicate that h" was opposed
to the movement, was next seen. He said
that he could not speak on that question
just a t present: he will see about it later
on.
Another merchant. Mr.. Haas. of Haas
& Oppenhcimer, thought that tn" outlook
TEN was not very bright
and 4 there is very little to do, and the
ladies do not turn out until between ) and
:. We are closing about half past every
evening, except Saturdays. bat If the
other merchants desire to close at : We
are with them too.
Mr.. Geo. Dulnig. who also employs a
good number of clerks, says, in reply to
the reporters question. Il have given the
question no consideration as yet. but |
cannot see that it would make any mate
rial difference whether they closed at five.
six or seven o'clock. as the people would
do their purchasing earlier. It's Just the
same as with Sunday closing. close on
Sundays and the people do their buying
for that day on Saturday nights. But as
| say. | have not given that question any
consideration as yet.

THE ENCAMPMENT
A Big Thing for Little Money.

There does not seem to be a great amount
of interest manifested in the coming en-
campment, by the people of San Antonio.
A member of the committee gave as a
reason for this. that the people did not APP
prpciatc the cncampment to the full eX-
tent deserved by it. for the reason that it
came cheap many regard it on the prn-
cipI" that it is a small affair that onIy re-
qurrS 5000. But this cncampment will
draw as many people and benefit the city
much more than many a costly drill gotten
up by Texas cities. There will be "a
greater turnout Of militia which will be
sure to attract Il greater crowd IN proper
ton as tn" numbers of the men increase
over other affairs held in the state The
city will get more than its 5000 worth Of
good for its money.

LOST WIFE AND MONEY.

The Troubles of Russian Refugee-He
Couldn't Get Along With the Czar and
Left-Now His Better Half Leaves Him
and Takes Some Cash.
Berthold Gamulsk, Russian who can
speak half dozen languages, sang a tale of
woe to Inspector McAleese last evening.
Gamulsk fled from Russia because he was
identified with the Nibilist movement, and
the police got wind of it. He went to
France, and from there to Philadelphia,
where. nine months ago, he married Pauline
Christine, q pretty countrywoman. He
worked in an iron mill until the heat of the
furnace laid him up, and then, upon his
physicians advice, came to Pittsburg and
obtained employment at the French Spring
Company's works.
Gamulsk went to housekeeping at No. 8
Twenty-irss street. His wife was cheerful
and loving and assisted IN swelling their
bank account by taking odd jobs of house
cleaning and washing, but her husband
found out that she was getting into bad
company, and put stop to that. Then she
had less to do, and got into the society of
one-legged man who keeps a speak-easy near
where she lived, and who disliked Gamulsk
because he threatened to inform on him.
dissolate and neglectfuI, and finally got into
worse company than before. Gamulsk tried
to warn her, but she kept up her bad habits,
spending money iu the speak-easy freely.
Gamulsk was driven almost to despair,
and on last Friday evening was walking
about the streets wondering what to do when
he met a man whom he thought he recog
nized. He eyed the stranger so intently that
he was suspected of evil designs, and the
police being notified he was arrested as
suspicious character. The next morning he
was fined So and costs, and when he went
home his wife had gone, taking with her his
$245 in cold cash.
He was anxious for the police to find her
before the money was all gone. He had no
doubt but that she was still in the city, and
believed fully that she would come back
when she had spent all her money, but be
loved her and wanted her and the money
both if possible.
The Inspector promised to do what he
could to assist the young man in his troubles,
and secured minute description of the
missing woman.

CHESTERFIELD OF THE NAVY.
Rear Admiral Leroy Once Beat French

Rear Admiral Leroy Once Beat a French
man So Bad His Heart Broke.
The true Chesterfield of the navy, so far
as my experience and estimate go, says a
naval officer in the ST. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, was Rear Admiral William E. Leroy,
who died in 1885, When Admiral Farra-
gut commanded the European squadron,
just after the war, Rear Admiral, then Cap
tain Leroy. was his chiei-of-stafi One day
tine Franklin (hag-ship) arrived in French
port, dropped her anchor, and before there
was time to get out her accom- mediation lad
der a French Captain, chief-of-staff to the
resident port Admiral, came on board to pay
his respects to Admiral Farragut.
Captain Leroy received him at the
gangway, escorted him to the Admiral's
cabin, where he made brief visit, offering
the usual civilitIes, etc., then returned with
him to the quarterback and accompanied
him to the gangway. both bowing and scrap
ing like French dancing masters.
Finally the French captain stepped up
into the gangway, and facing about, made
his farewell bow; then forgetting that there
was no outside ladder shipped, stepped back
on what he thought would be the upper
landing, and OF course went overheard like
a shot, epaulettes, cooked hat, sword and

'lower the life boat" and 'let go the life
buoy" then taking his station in the gang
way, watched for the temperance of the
Frenchman, and as he bobbed up serenely,
made Him most profound salaam. The
French captain was saved from drowning,
but it is said that he died only few days
later of broken heart.

dens in the country where important cases
are tried this beats them all. You can
scarcely see the Judge on the bench across

to the old-fashioned customs of the bench

modern ideas here and there would not hurt

gheny-The Committee Fears the CAL
culations Are Not Correct-Contractor
Porter Bows Before the City.
The street-paving question came up again
last night, before the Allegheny Committee
on Streets and Sewers. The most important
matter was the opening Of bids for the
repaving of Federal and Rebecca streets,
and number of smaller thorough
fares. The bids were all in, but for fear the
figures might not be correct, the matter of
awarding the contract was postponed until
next Tuesday. In the meantime sub-com-
mittee will examine the figures and verify
all the calculations.
The meeting opened with victory for the
city in the matter of repaving Stockton ave-
hue, from Federal street to Sherman ave-
nue.. An ordinance had been passed at the
last meeting of Councils ordering the work
done by the city, and providing that the
cost should be levied on the contractor of
the present pavement, because it was not
satisfactory. Last night the contractor,
John Porter, sent in a communication that
he would repave the street himself, and
would commence work today. The letting
of the contract by the CITY was therefore
postponed.
Then the question OF opening the bids for
the paving of Federal, Rebecca and num-
Der of other streets was called up. Chair
man McAfee stated that as bids had been
submitted on three different specifications,
there were so many OF them that the SUBJ
committee and the Controller had been un-
able to examine them since 3 o'clock, when
the hour for bids closed. He could not,
therefore, say that the figures as represented
in the bids were correct. Controller Brown
said materially the same thing.
The committee then decided it would not
be fair to award the contract without having
verified the figures on all the bids, and,
therefore, the matter was held over until
next Tuesday night.
Ordinances for the repaving of parts of
North Diamond and West Diamond streets
were affirmatively recommended to Coun-
ellis. An ordinance ior the repaving of Bid
well street was negatively reported.
The ordinance for the vacation OF an alley
at the end of Lithgow avenue was resur-
rected. A number of the interested parties
made speeches against it and the bill was
adversely referred to Councils.

ABOUT The PAPACY,

Bishop Watterson Discusses the Influence
of the Head of the Church-In Perfect
Harmony With the Times-Leo XIII. as
Leader.
Masterful In the use Of words selected
with regard to their exact shades of mean
ing; skilllul in the modulation Of his voice
when expressing emphatic periods; graceful
in style of delivery-such were the garnish-
ments of a most plainly spoken, but at the
same time profound discourse delivered last
evening at Lafayette Hall by Rt. Rev. John
A. Watterson, D. D., Bishop Of Colum-
bus, o.
The subject of mis- lecture was "The
Papacy," and it was delivered under the
auspices OF the Columbus Club, of this city.
On the platform sat Bishop Phelan, Father
Murphy, President of the College of the
Holy Ghost, Father Sheedy, Father Cos
grove. A. V. d. Watterson, Esq, and Presi-
dent A. B. Reed, of the club, who introduced
the distinguished speaker. Bishop Waiter
son laid special tress upon the guardian
ship Of the Popes over the affairs of men as
delegated to them by Christ. The high
Office and dignity of the Pope-the papal
authority and jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to the lives of men, the harmony
that has always existed between
the Popes and the individual times
in which they lived and exercised
their divine given right to direct affairs;
the superiority of mental and moral phil
osophy as taught by the Papacy over the
"isms" and ect-philosophies that do not
breathe of breadth and correct progress the
movements of the centuries led by the differ
ent Pontifs of Rome to a higher develop
ment of mind-in short, all the works ac-
complished by the church for the good OF
men and the salvation of their souls were
touched upon by the reverend gentleman,
who did not tail to point TO the signs OF
the present day, saying thai Leo NH. was
the leader of great and useful thought, and
that his mission at the head of the church
was clearly to strengthen the foundations.
The speaker contended that papacy is
clearly an institution that has progressed in
solid and durable manner, and that
every social, religious and political
movement of importance in the world
has been accomplished by the church.
PaganIsm, barbarism, despotism, error,
heresy, chism and all manner of opposition
to divine manifestations of authority have
been in turn defeated by the Popes, and now
Leo XIII. is fighting modern error and
false thought "at the point of prayer" and
from the Vatican alone will come that,
which, by its light of truth and reason, will
be the salvation of the human race"

Astonishing Extent of Valuable Forests In

New York SUM-
"You are making great ado in this State
about the forests you are trying to save from
the onslaughts of the lumbermen, and we'll
you may" said a prominent lumber oper-
ator of Western Pennsylvania, "but if you
could see some of the forests 1 saw three
weeks ago in the Guyan river region In West
Virginia, the Adirondack woods would look
like picnic groves to you.
81 saw a raft of yew pine logs start down
the Guyan river, one of the first that ever
went out of that wilderness, the smallest log
in which was feet in diameter and so feet
long, without knot. There were logs in
that raft feet through and ITO feet long.
There are miles and miles of forest contain
ing trees like these, where the sound of a
woodman's ak has never yet been heard.
Besides that, you may ride all day through
forests of oak, walnut, cherry, ash and pop

aborlgines roamed in their depths, although
they are not 100 miles from Wheeling.
