The Americus Club viii Issue No More In
vitntions for the Dinner.
The Committee of Arrangements of the
Americus Club met yesterday and decided
to issue no more invitations for the annual
banquet. The seats are all taken.
The subcommittee on the dinner reported
progress and made many suggestions as to
the decoration OF the tables, dining room
and the whole second floor of the hotel
which has been engaged. The committee
was continued. The subcommittee on
guests and speakers and printing reported
good progress.
Arrangements were also made to brighten
up the club rooms. The guests who will ar
rive on Saturday morning will be enter
tained by special committee appointed
from the life membership OF the club. The
formal invitations are now in the hands of
the committee and will be mailed only to
those who are expected as guests of the
club. They are beautiful in design. The
guests table this year will. from present in
dications, be all taken by distinguished
gentlemen. As this table has been arranged

A SKIRMISH EXPECTED

Over the Patronage of the American Me.
chnnics' National Council In Chicago.
The pittsburg Passenger Agents Associa-
ton will meet tomorrow or Tuesday to make
a rate for 1000 members of the Jr o. U. A.
NJ. who will attend the meeting of the Ma
tional Council at Chicago on the 18th of
next June. The National Council meeting
will be perhaps the most important in the
history OF the order. An attendance of from
5000 to 1000 members and delegates
is expected, and Pittsburg, as the strong
hold of the order, is expected to make
handsome showing. George H. Bartlett, of
Haverhill, Mass, present National Vice
Councillor, will succeed William r. Stroh,
of Mauch Chunk, Pa, present National
Councillor. The old struggle over the change
of name will be actively pressed, and it is
thought likely that the words Junior" and
Mechanics" will be Topped of, leaving the
title as follows: 'Order of United Ameri-
cans"
There is general committee for Pitts
burg, of which II. r. Peck is Chairman and
J. X. Enge Secretary. Superintendent of
Mails Collins is looking after the transpor-
tation. 1t is expected that a round trip rate
Of ST will be given. There are four roads to
Chicago, and the skirmish for custom will
be as lively as usual

MORE ROOM BADLY NEEDED.

A1legheny's New Postmaster Keeping His
Eye on Councils.
The Allegheny postofice will be traus-
ferred to the new postmaster, John A. ill
leland. at midnight tomorrow. 1t is the
end of the financial quarter, the third quar-
teri the Federal fiscal year. The transfer will
be made at midnight because it will require
several hours after the close of business to
make up all the accounts. Mr.. Gilleland's
assistant postmaster will go into the otfic
with him. 1t is expected that Miss Jennie
Swan, who has charge of the money order
department, will retire with her father. and
that the present assistant postmaster will
take charge of that department temporarily.
Mr.. Gilleland will make no other changes
in the office until May 1.
The new postmaster, who has been looking
over the office, is much impressed by the
want of room. His is closely watching the
action of Councils in regard to the increase
of space by the addition of buildings. He
is apparently apprehensive that Councils
will not authorize the construction OF the
proposed wings. He will do all he can to
further the project. In about fortnight he
will visit Washington and lay the exact
condition OF affairs before the department
He says that if the city does not provide
better accommodations very soon, he will ad-
vocate the leasing of some other property.

SUMNER NIGHT CONCERTS.
What n Cleveland Prima Donna Thinks of
Pittsburg's Scheme.

w nat a cleveland ffImQ Donna Thinks of
Piirsburg's Scheme.
Mrs. S. c. Ford, the soprano soIoist, of
Cleveland, who sang at Acme Councils con-
cert on Friday evening, is an acknowledged
authority on musical matters. A DISPATCH
reporter had pleasant conversation with her
at the Hotel Duquesne yesterday. In speak
ing of the proposed summer night concerts,
under the direction of the Exposition Society
for the coming season, Mrs. Ford said:
81 think the scheme is an excellent one,
and the concerts can be made of incalcula-
BILE benefit to Pittsburg. But the concerts
must be properly managed. The Buffalo
concerts were failure probably because OF
ill management They were an immense
success in Chicago. I would suggest that
the managers OF the affair secure either Gil
more's Band or Thomas Orchestra and vary
the programme with heavy male soloists.
"The concerts ought to be given at popu-
lar prices for the benefit of the industrial
class of people who cannot get summer
outing"

The promoters of the new glass town of

Brownsville, Monongahela City, Elizabeth
and other places along the road favor the
movement and are signing the petition.
To run from Brownsville to Pitts.
burg, a distance of so miles, now
requires about three hours when all the
stops are made. This time could easily be
be reduced if fewer stops were made. The
petition will ask for an express train each
way. Superintendent Watt assured the
people that if the business was guaranteed,
the Pennsylvania road would put on the
trains. He admits they are needed.
Yesterday an application was made for a
charter for the Charleroi and Pellevernon

NO NEW CHURCH.
MIR. Lockhart Denies Reports About DR..
Ewiug's Old Charge.

MIR. Lockhart Denies Reports About DR..
Ewing's Old Charge.
It has been reported for several days that
now that DR.. Ewing had resigned from the
Sixth U. P. Church some of the influ-
entail and wealthy members contemp mplated
erecting new building on grand scale on
one of, the main avenues of the East End.
1t was mentioned that Charles J. Lockhart,
of tine Standard Oil Company. favored new
building. 1t was also stated that the former
proceedings which finally secured the resig-
nation of DR.. Ewing were intended to get
rid of him, and that the righteousness of
marrying sister-in-law was a mere pretext
tor this purpose.
When Lockhart was seen he prompt
ly denied the whole story. He said they had
a good church building, and ne was satisfied
with it. The fact that they had spent con-
siderable money in Improvements didn't
look as if they intended to build a new one.
He said he had never even thought of con-
tributing 100000 for building, as the re.
port was current. He was we'll pleased with
the present structure.

said: 1.-THE scare about the Jackman build
ing has been so frequent that we no longer
believed much about it. 1t may
be that the property has been leased,
but as Andrew Jackman's Will Is being
contested, 1 don't see how anyone could
give lease, hut it looks as if it may have
been done. 1t will simply drive some the
ater to the wall. There is not enough room
here for four theaters. We will, of course,
stay right here, and 1 believe we will have
plenty Of business, although it will
take patronage from all of us.
Then it will place us in bad shape,
for we have not a single attraction booked
for next season, outside of Minnie Palmer.
We will have to do some heavy hustling.
But it will be big undertaking to run
theater right across the street from Harry
Williams combination house. He has a
national reputation, and will be hard man
to fight"

apparent presumption in entering the lists
against Congressman of so long expert
ence as Colonel Bayne. But of course as
this is a matter entirely in favor of Con-
gresham Bayne, it is not question that
requires comment. At this late date 1t is
apparent that
NO OTHER CANDIDATES
will aspire TO the position, and this fact re-
leves me somewhat from the hesitation 1
had felt in permitting the use of my name,
admitting, as l do, that there are so many
men in the district who are particularly
well qualified to represent it in Congress,
but who from one reason and another will
not allow the use of their names at this
time"
From another source the writer learned
that the delay in announcing Mr. Shiras'
candidacy was really for the purpose OF
awaiting the possible entrance of any other
candidate in the field. This was by the
young gentleman's own wishes, it is under
stood.
MR.. SHIRAS' CAREER.
George Shiras Ill. was born in the city of
Allegheny, January 1. 1859 He prepared
for college at Phillips Academy. Andover,
Mass, and graduated at Cornell University
in 1881, and Yale Law School in 1888. He
was admitted to practice at PittSburg bar in
the autumn of 1888; at present associated
with his father. George Shiras, Jr., in the
practice OF law in this city. The only public
office he ever held was the seat in the last

ers-Firsr Night's Celebration of the An
niversary of the Paris Communicable
Usual Tirade Against Capital
The International Working Peoples As
sociation, of Allegheny county, last night
commenced the celebration of the nineteenth
anniversary of the Paris commune, at La
fayette Hall. 1t will continue this after
noon and evening. Herr Most was the
speaker of the evening. His address was In
German, but tonight he will speak in Eng
lish.
EIhe name of the great Anarchist was
enough TO fill the house, and by o'clock
1000 Anarchists, embrvo and otherwise,
were crowded into Lafayette Hall. There
was not a fine looking face in the audience
Herr Fricke was there to father the pro-
ceedings. The red flag was displayed every
where, nearly every man carried red hand
kerchiefs and large number of the women
wore red dresses. Beside this, each of the
Anarchists wore a red flower. All along
the walls were placards in red. On them
was a poem TO the memory OF the "heroes''
who fell in the Paris commune. 1t painted
them as martyrs, and said a monument had
been erected for them in the hearts Of the
working people.
There was an anarchist orchestra present,
which opened the exercises with selection
o; its own. 1t was a cross between the
racket at Haymarket square, the "dull
thud" of the anarchistic ''black FRIDAY"
and the lonely wall OF Nina Van Zandt.
Next lat, greasy anarchist sang 1.-The
Marseillaise, which was followed by several
other selections.
Then heavy round of applause an
nounced the entrance of the Anarchist
leader. His iron-gray beard is trimmed
close, and he has lost much of his wild ap-
pearance. His address was in German, and
every few minutes the building was shaken
with applause, and the tobacco smoke would
clear enough for the audience TO get square
look at Herr Most All the men wore their
hats and smoked cheap cigars.
Most's address was mainly a historical
sketch of the Paris commune From each
feature he drew moral, and advised his
PIttsburg hearers to follow in their Paris
brethrens' footsteps. His cries of "Long
live the commune Down with the aris-
tocracy' and kill the capitalists were re-
echoed from every part of the room. In one
Of his outbursIs he cried, "Arm yourselves,
and don't be run and butchered by the
bloodhounds of the law. as were the martyrs
