COOLING WITHOUT ICE.

An Apparatus W-ith Marvellous Powers-A
Way to Circumvent High-Priced Ice
Dealers and Open wiuters-Clay Made
to Cool Liquids.
A water cooler which will make ice water
without the use of ice is the latest novelty
in the inventive line, and the component
materials are so cheap that the owners Of
the patent hope to make good thing out of
it. DR.. Eric Munk, the inventor, is a
graduate of Oxford College, England, and
has been experimenting with the subject of
porous material, and recently discovered a
chemical which renders ordinary potter's
clay subservient to process Of natural
evaporation. The three-gallon jar DR..
Munk exhibits is quite ordinary in appear
ance, and were it not surrounded by a
Jacket of zinc, perforated with small
apertures with space of an inch and q
half for the circulation of air, it would not
differ from the earthern jars of commerce.
The ice water furnished by the ordinary
cooler is of the emperature of 40 to 80 de-
erees, and the city water of the present time
is at 65 to 20 degrees. In an experiment
made yesterday, water at temperature of
so degrees was reduced to As degrees within
an hour. The coolers can be made in any
size, and at cost far below the highly orna-
mental ice coolers now in use. The total
saving of ice, especially in a season when
ice is scarce and high priced, is regarded as
an unanswerabie argument in favor of the
new apparatus.
Mr.. j. Clark Williams, President Of Curry
University, has obtained control of the in
vention, and has formed a company with
capital of 5000, 600 to develop and manufac-
ture the new cooler. The factory will be
pressed to an early completion, in order to
place the coolers on the market Immediately.
The principle is conceded to be very novel,
on account of its facility of application to
ordinary materials in the usual method of
manufacture.

WILL SUMNER IN SCOTLAND.

Mr.. Carnegie Again Lenses Cluny Castle
for the Heated Term.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has again leased
Clany Castle in Scotland, and will 60
abroad in June. He will remain abroad
two or three months, and return with the
European delegates to the International
Convention of Iron and Steel Manufacturers,
which is to meet in Pittsburg. A fund of
$50, 900 has been raised among Pittsburg
firms for the proper entertainment of the
visitors.
With all these matters engaging Mr.. Car
negie's active attention it is doubted
whether he intends to devote much time to
library matters. Some of his Pittsburg
intimates state that their opinion is that the
cavalier treatment of his munifcent plans
by Councils will end only in one way--his
complete abandonment of any ideas looking
toward the betterment and establishment Of
the city Of Ptttsburg.

CHALLENGE TO ROSS.
The N. N. P. U. Wants to Settle the
Great Western Band Trouble.
BOTTLEBL0WERSASK FOR 8 ROURS
A Lively Hustle for Window Glass Workers
Votes for Clarey.
YESTERDAYS GRIsT OF LABOR NEWS

The row between the Musical Mutual
Protective q nion and the Knights of Labor
over the engagement of the Great Western
Band to play at the opening game of the old
League Baseball Club, is getting warmer
each. day. The latest is challenge from
the NJ. NJ. P. U. to settle the trouble by
arbitration. If it is found the Great West
ern B and is in the right, the M. NJ. P. U.
will withdraw from the field and not inter-
fere with the band in the future. The fol-
lowing is a copy of the challenge written
yesterday:
l make the following proposition to I. N.
Ross. Master Workman of D. A. No. 8, who
has been bowling SO much about the M. M. r
U, that the trouble between the Great Western
Band and the NJ. M. P. U. be settled by an arbi-
trating committee of five; we to select two, Mr.
Ross two, and the four to select the fifth nan.
If the committee sustains the Great Western
Band will cancel my engagement with Man
ager 81 ecker, of the Allegheny Baseball Club.
Will meet Mr.. Ross at the Registers office at
o'clock PM, April Il GUS KRIEL.
For the NJ. NJ. P. U.
A SCHEME FOR THE FUTURE.
Master Workman Ross has scheme to
prevent such troubles in the future. He
wants a conference of the different labor Or
ganizations, held once a month, for the pur-
pose of talking over existing troubles, and
devising means to work in harmony. He
says if such conference was held OCCASION
ally, the rank and file of the different organ
izations could properly understand matters
better. Many false statements sent out
i1of nr0nprlV
squelched if the officers Of each body come
together.
At conference held in Philadelphia
some months ago, an agreement was entered
into by the different labor organizations and
a written contract signed to the effect that
one union would not organize the expelled
members OF another union.
RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE.
At the conference General Master Work
man Powderly represented the Knights of
Labor, and President Gompers was there
for the Federation. As the M. M. P. q. is
affiliated with the latter body, Mr.. Gompers
was their representative. In spite of the
agreement made, the local assembly in which
the members of the Great Western Band are
enrolled numbers among its members all
the expelled musicians from the M. M. T.
U. Notwithstanding the protest made by
the Federation against organizing the Pitts
burg expelled musicians into the Knights of
Labor, the general officers of the latter is
sued a charter for the Pittsburg men. This
is what caused the first trouble between the
NJ. NJ. P. U. and the Knights of Labor, and
is following out the idea of Mr.. Ross.
Master Workman Ross was seen last night
by DISPATCH reporter and when asked
what he proposed to do about it, he said:
1--WE will accept the challenge and will be
on hand to arrange the preliminaries with
Mr.. Kreil. We will show the committee
that the knights of Labor is right and the
NJ. M. P. U. is wrong"

Superintendent Collins to Gather Pointers
for the New Office.
The postoffices in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston are to be visited by Super
intendent OF Mails Collins, and the best
ideas he collects there are to be woven into
the plans for the new postoffice in Pittsburg.
He will start this morning and will be alb
sent week.
Mr.. Collins says the Treasury officials
have all decided to make Pittsburg the
finest and most completely equipped post
office in the country, and that expense will
not be considered in the matter, only the
wants Of the officials here. Mr.. Mexican
and Mr.. Collins are now preparing the
plans for the furniture and other arrange
ments of the Office, and, as New York,
Philadelphia and Boston have the best
equipments now, he hopes to gain some
features from them for the Pittsburg office.

TO BLOW ONLY EIGHT HOURS.

Green Bottle Blowers will Recommend
Adopting the Short Day.
L. A. Gill, composed of knights Of Labor
green bottle blowers, met last night in Labor
Hall. The members discussed the eight
hour law and its relation to their trade.
The union is considering the advisabiIity
of recommending to the next annual con-
vention the adoption of the eight-hour law.
At present the bottle blowers work by the
piece, and the method proposed at last
nights meeting is to continue on that sys-
tenn with the difference that no one shall
work longer than eight hours each day.
There is no limit to the production of each
man, and he will be allowed to make as
much as be can in that time. The Pitts
burg men are taking the initial step, and 1t
is said their example will be followed by
others in the East and West.

music dealer. At Kleber's the buyer is ab-
solutely safe against sharp tricks-they are
the most honorable house IN the trade. They
sell the great Steinway piano, the wonder
full Conover piano and the charming Opera

ARB0R DAY IGNORED.

A Holiday Whose Existence is Not Thought
of i'm Pittsburg.
Yesterday was Arbor Day in this Com
monwealth, but in Pittsburg it was passed
without any observance whatever. In fact.
scarcely anybody knew that it was such a
notable ccasion-notable, however, only in
the rural regions. The only planting done
in this city was in the way of erecting few
more telegraph and telephone poles in out
lying wards.
Even Superintendent Hamilton, of the
Allegheny parks. planted no flowers. 1t is
a month too early, he says, for the early
flower catches the frost.

A Meeting of Pittsburg Agents to be Held

A meeting of the Pittsburg Freight Com

than those of last year.

WANTS MORE ROOM.

Allegheny's Postofice Seeks the Health
Office Quarters for n Division.
Postmaster Gilleland, Allegheny City, ,ssid
yesterday that he intended to endeavor to Sc
cure the present Health Office Of Allegheny,
across the corridor of the City Hall and on
the postofice floor, for the money order and
registry division. 1t is thought that the
Health Office could be moved upstairs and
be just as satisfactory to the public, and
thereby greatly alleviate the crowded con-
diton of the interior of the Office.
Mr. Gilleland says that when Postmaster
General Wanamaker came to Pittsburg to
attend the Americus Club Grant banquet
an effort would be made to induce him to
inspect the Allegheny office. One glance is
considered enough to receive liberal a.
lowance for new quarters.

A VERY SORRY SPECTACLE.
Carnegie Free Library 1t is Up to Date-A
UtiIitarian Suggestion.

A melancholy spectacle can be contem-
plated by the lightof the incandescent lights
in the Carnegie Library almost any night.
Broad tables guiltless of any other literature
than ancient newspapers, medical reports Of
the vintage of 20 and sundry stray almanacs
stretch their unused length and tantalize the
bookworm. A few boys were sitting at the
tables last night yawniDg over the papers,
and several bookish-looking young men
were pacing the floor. A fire blazed in the
huge fireplace, and in the dim light the face
of Mr.. Carnegie looked out over a literary
desert. There were the lights, the chairs,
the tables, the shelves, but where were the
books?
To show what practical and marvelously
utiIitarian people dwell in Allegheny, the
proposition of political heeler made in the
corridor of City Hall. last night, will be
thoroughly indicative: Say" said the
heeier, "de library amt no good. See? Wy
don't de city rent it to de Guv'ment fer o

Coroner Mcdowell yesterday completed

YOUNG CALVES STARVING.
Agent Bergman Descends on East Liberty
Stock Dealers.


Agent Bergman, of the Humane Society,
visited the East End Stock Yards yesterday
afternoon to look into the condition of a
number of young calves said to be neglected.
He found the facts to be as represented, and
after some threatening induced tine owners
to feed the animals with raw eggs. Agent
Bergman says they were starving, and
some OF them were too young to eat solid
food.
What stock dealers call the calf season is
now at its height. Last week 300 calves
were consigned to the dealers here. The
animals ranged in age from 10 days to 6
weeks. On an average ], 800 are shipped to
the stock yards every week. In his visit
yesterday Agent Bergman found 400 in
pens. OF these, he says, 200 at least were
not more than 10 days old. They were
neglected, and no effort was made to keep
them from starving. Agent Bergman also
saw that nine young lambs we're fed. He
claims they also were starving. The agent
declares he will make ilformations against
the owners for their neglect.

Yesterday workmen began tearing down
the old house of Mrs Mary McTighe at 49S
and 500 Fifth avenue. The old building is
to be replaced by two four-story fats, which
will cost $4,000. The house being torn
down is probably the Oldest one in the city.
1t has been standing for about 100 years,
aud in the early days of Pittsburg was
known as the Fourth Street Road House,
and was one of the famous hostelries of the
city. When built 1t was mile away from
the nearest house, and was favorite Sun
day resort during the summer.
In those days the house was about eight
feet above the road, but Fifth avenue has
been filled so much since then that the
front door was five feet below the pavement.
