The Committee then turned its attention
20 the consideration of the department es-
Inmates, commencing with that forcemeter-
les. and proceeding regularly through the
list. The first discussion was over the gen
eral city contingent fund, on which there
was spent in 1889 SlO,92l.l5. IL was pro
posed TO make il $4,000 for the present
wear. and that sum was az first allowed,
but later. when a proposition TO pay for the
collection of taxes out of il had been lost,
the fund was cut down TO 5000, on the
principal that If the fund was small one,
a good many little expenditures, which
would otherwise be rushed through and
charged up to the fund. would be saved.
There was little discussion on the Fire
Department and police estimates, and the
latter was cut 500. and real estate 500,
but matters went along smoothly until the
Gas works estimate of Sll4, SO was reach
ed. when there was "A big kick and a long
discussion. some Of the members not being

have carried the balance OF about Sl6, 800

the money be appropriated TO make neces-

ter was actively cOmbatted by others,
and after half an hours talk, the gross

works were allowed, being SlG6 more than
was asked for.

this evening in her famous character,
Meg Merrilies, " the PittSburg Dispatch
saws: "The addition Janauschek has
made to her repertoire bids fair to be a
most popular one if last nights large
audience at the Opera House may be ia
ken as criterion. Meg Merrilies' Is
character to which this sterling actress
is peculiarly well adapted in many re-
spects. and she is wise in making ii her
leading attraction. Few actresses essay
the role, and the past few years have
seen the play shelved for this very rca-
son. Upon Janauschck devolved the
task of rescuing it successfully from the
undcservcd oblivion to which the death
Of Charlotte Cushman had consigned ii.
That the revival is popular one and
that the actress is meeting with une-
ouivocal success was demonstrated by
the enthusiasm which greeted her work
last night She has surrounded herself
with an excellent company who fully
succeed in holding the interest OF the
audience until Meg puts in an appear

Probably more money is spent in ad-
vertiSing than In any other single
branch OF the expenses of the more
prominent business houses. Our mtr-
chants have been rather backward
about general advertising, but there
are signs that change is taking
place. Take in the safe business
alone. Although there have been thou
sands upon thousands Of dollars of safes
sold in this vicinity, yet it is a queS-
ton whether one hundred dollars was
spent in advertising the business before
the Globe Contract Company, the we'll
. known concern of Wheeling, took hold
of it. In fact. there had not been up to
| that time stock Of safes of any kind in
the State. This concern. however, seems
| to believe in advertising, and are spend
| ing great deal of money in that dircc-
ton with the result that they are becom-
| ing the best known dealers throughout
the State. OF course it won't be long be-
fore the more active dealers in other
lines begin to appreciate tho advantages
Of general advertising, but it does seem
queer that so little has been done here
