Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another from nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton, another with pain here or there, and in
this way they all present alike to themselves
and their easy-going and Indifferent or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he preScribes his pills and po-
1ons, assuming them to be such, when, in
reality, they are all only symptoms caused
by some womb disorder The physician,
ignorant of the cause of suffering, encour-
ages his "practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,

Strange Statements. Yet True.

A calculator has found out that if
Adam, when he first looked around in
the Garden of Eden, say G, 900 years ago,
had been met by Satan, and had been
employed by him at regular salary of
$50, 900 per annum, and his board and
clothes; and if Adam had carefully laid
his silver dollars away in barrels each
year, and had lived to the present time,
he would now have three hundred mill
ion dollars. Again, if a man born in
the Christian era, 1880 years ago, had
lived and been steadily employed t q
salary of $14, 900 per month, $443 per
day, and his living expenses besides,
and had saved every dollar of it, he
would not to-day have three hundred
millions.

ALMOST STRUCK THE MAYOR.

A Sudden Change Of WeaIher Causes n
Wind Storm Last Night.
Between noon and P. M. yesterday there
was q fall Of go in the temperature, from
44o to $50. Because Of the high wind the
change seemed to be greater, and the tenn
perature was supposed to be lower last even
ing than it really was. The weather reports
did not indicate cold snap, but the weather
is SO erratic that the signal service returns
are regarded with distrust even by the OBJ
servers. The velocity of the wind at fire.
quent intervals yesterday afternoon varied
from II to 20 miles per hour.
At about noon large portion of the front
brick wall of the building at No. 184 Sec
ond avenue was blown down. The building
was only one-story high, and was occupied
by .Pfaum & Co., scrap iron dealers
A piece of iron cornice weighing about 25
pounds blew off the Allegheny City Hall
about $50 O'Clock. Mayor Pearson was Just
going home at the time, and narrowly
escaped being struck with the projectile.
The high wind did some damage on the
Southside. Signs and fences were blown
down, and show case in front of Joseph
Sells store, on Carson street, was broken.
It was valued at SIS.
Otto Herald, an enploye of the Carnegie
Twenty-ninth street mills, was standing be-
meath the caves of the roof yesterday when
q piece of sheet iron torn loose by the wind
fell upon him, inficting injuries which may
prove fatal He was removed to his home,
corner of Penn avenue and Sixteenth street.

VERY COLD COMFORT.

Chief BIgelow Says the Piftaburg Incline
Company Must Not InterrupG Travel
Visited By DeIeGafion.
A delegation Of the Philadelphia capi-
talists interested in the Knoxville Improve
ment Company and the new Pittsburg in
cline waited upon Chief Bigelow, Of the
Department of Public Works, Yesterday
and had chat with him on the street OBJ
struction caused on the hill by the trestle
work and sandbed of the incline. The chief
explained that the streets must not be
barred by any corporation nor obstructions
to traffic be made by anyone.
Upon finding the height required over the
street it was figured by the committee that
an obtuse angle would have to be made in
the roadbed, which would render it practi-
cally useless, as in taking horses and car
riages or passengers up and down all would
be thrown with the usual style of incline
car. The only alternative was to have two
sets of cars, one for the incline and the
other for the level, which would meet at the
angle; but this would entail two sets OF
cables and vast extra expense.
A further conference was asked with Chief
Bigelow, but he replied that no conference
was necessary to determine whether traffic
should or should not be interrupted. It is
probable that another road will have to be
secured, as there is no possibility of an
agreement upon the present basis.
Francis Rawle, of PHILADELPHIA, the
spokesman of the stockholders in the City of
Brotherly Love, left Pittsburg last evening
with anything but feeling of fraternal af-
fection for PIttsburg and Western Pennsyl-
vania generally. The possibility of the
company's project being Knocked out was
not tasteful, and the Mt Oliver Incline
Company is in a correspondingly joyous
frame of mind, at least in an inverse ratio.

WILL HAVE WATER WORKS.

''Some people are born great" etc. There
is a wonderful revival Of enterprise and
progressive spirit at Coraopolis. Having
made arrangements for the comfort of the
dead, by the establishment of frst-class

start an institution that is, if possible, more
needed-a water works.
The incorporators are Frederick W. Pat

illus, L. S. Hooper and 81. s. KiehE The
application for charter has been made to
the Governor by Attorney Cornelius, and
the company has bought piece OF
ground on top of one of the highest hills
back of the town, on which a reservoir will
be built. Several capitaliSts are interested,
and it is proposed to build the plant right
away, and the town will be piped as quickly
as it can be done. The supply of water will
be gotten from the back river, the channel
back of Neville Island; not from the sur
face, but wells will be bored, and a supply
of water as pure as it is possible to find, as
it will pass through very thick natural
filter.
This is the most important enterprise yet
projected in tnat section, as, cemetery or no
cemetery, there is very little water in the
borough below the Presbyterian church
crossing that is fit to drink. Had water
works been built four years ago the place
would now be much more populous than it
is. The water on the terrace above the
main source of pollution has disagreeable
taste. 1t is chalybeate, but, nevertheless,
has not been proven to possess medicinal
qualities worth speaking Of

THE COKE CONFERENCE TO-DAY.

Prospects for an AmicsbIe Arrangement of
the Scale for the Year.
At the conference which will be held to-
day at Scottdale between representatives of
the miners and cokers and the operators, it
is expected that harmonious agreement
will be arrived at concerning the scale for
the year.
Though theoperators have not yet been ap-
prised OF the nature or details of the scale
to be submitted by the workers, it is we'll
understood that departure will be made in
the direction Of proposing a scale of prices
dependent on the variable market values of
the product, OF, in other words, sliding
scale.
A gentleman identified with the largest
interests in the region said yesterday that
he thought sliding scale based on the mar
ket price Of coke would meet the approba-
tion of the operators, provided that the basis
was not too high. He did not think that
any advances in the price of coke would be
made, and he considered that an equable
price and steady trade were better than
temporary advance consequent on an un-
usual pressure on the market. He thought
that an amieable arrangement for the year
would be effected at the conference to-day.

Receives the Everett piano on payments of
81 per week. The Everett Piano Club, or
cooperative system of selling pianos, is the
most successful and satisfactory plan ever
tried. We are delivering pianos as fast as
our wagons can haul them. Our members
get the lowest possible price, because there
are enough members to contract for $50
pianos, and thus save $75 in the price of
each piano; $50 members, each paying 81
per week. will pay for one piano in cash
each week, and we deliver one piano per
week on these payments. Members who pay
all cash. or who pay $25 cash and $40
monthly, can take their pianos at once, and
still get the discount obtained by the club
contract. The piano selected by the club
has no superior. Having the whole market
to choose from on so large a contract, we
chose the Everett, because it gives full value,
dollar for dollar. We pay nothing for rep
utations of men who died years ago. The
Everett is piano Of to-day, with all the

SMELLING WORKS SOLD.

Grant McCarEo and C. E. Dixon Buy the
keystone COmpany's Plant.
The keystone Smelling Company, stu
Hted between Thirty-third and Thirty fourth
streets, has changed hands. 1t was formally
owned and worked by A. B. Rose, George
r. Ward and n. C. Davidson. They have
sold out the business. mill and machinery
to Messrs. Grant McCargo. son of the Su-
perintendent of the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road. and C. E. Dixon, who took possession
this week. The sale has excited no little
wonder among brass founders, because this
mill is one of the best in the CITY. The
business extended over the whole country.
The new firm intends to largely improve
the plant. There are four furnaces, which
can be charged with 800 pounds of metal,
and one 6OO-pound furnace, the combined
furnaces having an output of 5000 pounds
of finished metal per day. There is also at
tached to the mill a large babbitt metal
furnace, and the new firm will work the fur
mace which was idle for a long time during
the regime of the old company.
Dixon & McCargo are contemplating
making both brass and bronze under a diff
ferent process than has been employed
hitherto. They will build a very fine
u.
The new process will enable them to turn
out an immense amount of finished brass
each day. For the finer grade of bronzes
the firm will sink several furnaces on the
crucible plan, where they can melt their
bronze in a crucible pot and obtain any
grade of metal that thev may desire. The
difference between melting brass in cupola
and in a crucible furnace is that, in the one
the metal is in a slight degree influenced by
the air, which passes through the regenera-
tors, while in the other the metal is fastened
tightly in a pot where the air cannot touchit
The firm also hopes in the near future to
acquire additional ground to make the mill
a more complete one. At present there is no
pattern shop which. Mr.. McCargo says, is a
very necessary part of all foundries. There is
an extensive piece of ground in the rear of
the mill, and On this land they will build a
big pattern shop.
The babbitt department is to undergo re-
pairs, and some extension will take place
there. There are to be several extra fur
naces erected for the manufacture of this
article. The bronze melting and the babbitt
melting have hitherto been operated in the
same place. In the future the two depart
ments will be run separately.
The enlargement of this plant will give
employment to double the number of men
who found work there before,

HIS SALARY LOW.


Controller Morrow Ashamed of the Poor
Farm Preachers Wages.
Among the warrants signed yesterday in
the Controllers Office was one for the
monthly pay of the Poor Farm chaplain,
to the amount of SIC 46.
"This," said Assistant Controller J. J..
Davis, ''seems to be very low price to pay
for the Word. Now, in the Poli'e and
Street Departments the Book of Acts shows
mp a much bigger percentage in the way Of
receipts"
Controller Morrow, when asked the name
of the preacher whose services we've put at
so low figure, said: 81 decline to give it,
for the simple reason that am ashamed to
know a preachers services are valued SO low
at any place. The salary is merely nomi-
nal, but the necessity of preacher there is
acknowledged by all"
The Rev James Kirk, who fills the posi-
ton, is a well and favorably known clergy
man of Pittsburg, and has done much good
in his ministrations in the home for the un-
fortunate.

CELEBRATION IN TIE EVENING

A marriage is not strange event. The
ceremony is taking place every day, but the
nuptials that happened yesterday morning is
something of the romantic and strangely.
unique. Mr.. Enoch Ketterer, OF the West
End, was united to Mrs Julia KRONER, of
the same district. The groom has passed
the 18th mile stone, and the bride follows
close at his heels. Both bride and groom
had been previously married, and there was
a large number of olive branches on both
ends of the tree.
The wedding service took place at st.
Martins Church, West End, where Father
Gable celebrated nuptial mass, and then
tied the knot. During the service the
church was crowded, but the greater part of
the crowd was composed of the respective
families of the bride and groom. Mr..
Ketterer, who is hale, hearty old gentle
man, is the happy father of nine sons, and
Mrs. Julia Kroner is the mother of four
children.
THEIR CHILDREN MARRIED.
All the children of the contracting par
ties are married, and they have children
and grandchildren. This large family con-
gregated Yesterday at St. Martins to wit
ness the marriage, and they almost occu-
pied every seat in the church.
When the groom made his appearance at
the church, he stepped with the agility of
former wears. Had he been the groom of
youth he could not have appreciated the
circumstances more than he did. His
happy bride was in the same congenial
frame of mind. 1t was sight worthy to
be remembered to see the aged couple stand
before the brilliantly lighted altar and
pledge an oath of love. Two of the old
gentleman's and two of the spouse's
children we're witnesses TO the marriage
contract AS the welded couple left the
sanctuary, the organist Of the church played
a triumphal wedding march.
THEY HAD A FEAST.
After the church ceremony was finished
the party assembled to partake Of q nice
spread at the home of Mr.. Ketterer, in
Moon township. The immediate families
of the contracting parties composed the en-
tire gathering. No outsider was admitted,
and so great party did they make that it
required several tables to accommodate
them all.
In the evening a ball took place, which
was attended by and confined to the MEM
bers of the family. So ended the most re-
markable marriage of the West End.
The wedding caused quite talk in the
locality. The residents of the village wish
their neIghbors joy. Both Of them have
lived in the district for a great number of
years, and they are among the Oldest resi-
dents.
