A SATURDAY CROWD.
Exposition Voters Favor Semi Week.
ly Excursions Three to One.
LAST WEEK OF THE GREAT SHOW.
The Electric Stone Crusher and Lift
Attract Much Attention.
NOVEL FEATURES OF THE EXHIBITS

Last night saw the Exposition filled with
the usual good-humored Saturday evening
crowds. Many well-known faces might
have been recognized in the throng, and
some of the costumes worn by the ladies
present were distinctly chic. OF course the
concert was the center of attraction, but the
Art Gallery and Machinery Hall came in
for very fair share of popular favor. In
the latter building are two new appliances
which create quite furor-the electric
stone crusher and the British cleo
trio lift. The oil we'll was also
visited by thousands, and much satisfaction
was expressed when it was learned that the
$50 foot level had been reached. The sink
ing is now being done through stratum of
tough slate, but every hope is entertained
that the promise of gas made last Wednes-
day will be shortly realized to some purpose.
The coming week is to be the last OF the
Exposition Of 1890, and Manager Johnston
states that no amount of persuasion will in
duce the directors to keep the big show open
Mr.. Innes' famous mechanical sing
ing birds will be exhibited. These
birds together with their cages
were made in Geneva, Switzerland, and
cost SIS each. Tuesday night the airs Of the
''Land o Cakes will be rendered. We'd
nesday-American night par excellence,
will be set apart for the visit of all the local
and neighboring branches of the Jr. and Sr.
o. U. A. NJ. and the P. o. S. A. Amer
lean airs will be played. Thursday is to be
German day. and the Mannaerchors have
once more promised to sing.
The voting at THE DISPATCH stand all
yesterday WAS unusually heavy. The ques-
tion was, "Should railroads run semi-week-
ly excursions to Pittsburg during the
spring, summer and autumn" The voting
was over to in favor of the excursions.
Some of the remarks attached to the afirma-
tive votes were as follows: "'Should' is too
strong; say might" ''Good advertisement
scheme;" "Run them every day. ''Three
times week better" The principal mega
tive opinion was, "Mere waste of money
and steam"

Hopper Bros. & Co., so7 Wood Street.

Well, the days are nearly over in which
people can take solid enjoyment in contem-
plating this inviting bewitching exhibit in
north gallery. Happily, there are few, or
perhaps none, of all the thousands who Wis.
tied the Exposition who have failed to take
in and expatiate upon the veritable worth
and merit OF this artistic display. Hopper
Bros. & Cn. are eminently long-headed men,
who never wait to make their preparations
for the Exposition, so no doubt thy have
already planned ahead for next year. If they
have, it will be something good, or it always
is, and, as they have all the new styles and
designs in household furniture, they can SIM
ply draw upon their boundless resources
and give continued pleasure to their hosts
of friends. 1t is surprising stock that is
carried by this firm, full to overfowing with
everything desirable for real honey home,
not simply an abiding place. From this
vast stock the variety is so great that per-
sonal individuality can be grati6ed, you
can stamp your houses with that inde-
scribable something which marks individ-
ual tastes. 1t is not only that this stock is
so large, but that it is so genuinely good, it
is all well and tastefully made. and is meant
to last per ect lifetime, or they use the
best materials. They know, too, how to
counsel and advise you need it, otherwise,
you judge TOR yourself, a fact to be appre-
ciated by buyers. Under all circumstances
there is perfect courtesy, and stranger still,
promptpess. When you give your orders
they will be filled satisfactorily. Add to
this the important question of low prices
and easy terms and the many reasons for
the great popularity of Hopper Bros. & Co.,
will be readily understood.

Once More Into the Breach.

Even good in this world cannot be done
without a struggle, for we urge ourselves
often into doing what is best for health and
comfort, when we could do the best even
without effort To convince others and to
persuade them, we should use the arguments
which influence our own judgment For
example: The ills of suffering humanity
should be relieved promptly and perma-
nently. There is but one way of doing So,
and that is by procuring the surest remedy.
Some remedies are good, others are better,
but long experience and undoubted proof
point to only one as the best. There is no
questioning this fact in the treatment of
pains and aches, and when the advertise
meLts of St. Jacobs Oil, which have conl-
menced for the season their appearance in
the columns O. this paper, catch the eve, the
best certainly stands revealed. The great
remedy for pain holds the confidence of the
public, and has done so these many, many
years, and it is truly Y worthy of it.

Display of Artistic Photographs.

From the oil paintings and water colors
in the art gallery the visitor turns quite
naturally to the Photographic display OF
Mr.. B. L. H. Dabbs, only to notice true art
in another form, and if the remarks and
mods of approval are any criterion, it is
quite as much admired and appreciated as
the elegant pictures just lett behind. Some
people are apt to think it is often luck in
getting good photograph, but Mr.. Dabbs
takes no chances that way. With him the
easy grace and elegant finish are the result
of long and careful study based on theories
and experiences peculiarly his own. No
better test of his ability can be mentioned
than the fact that the best portraits that
have been painted by the best artists in this
city for years have been from his photo
graphs. Give portrait painter the choice
to copy photograph and he will take the
one by Dabbs always.

A SHORT SESSION.

The Revision Committee Did Very Lite4e
Work Yesterday-Local Churches to Be
Filled by the Visiting .Clergymen To-
Day-Good Sermons Promised.
Only one session was held by the Presby-
terian Revision Committee yesterday, and
not great deal of work was accomplished.
Mr.. Stratton, New Jerseys representative,
arrived and took his place on the commit
tee. The main part of the work so far has
been by referring sections and chapters to
subcommittee to prepare, and several re-
ports are expected to be ready by to-mor-
row. Any subcommittee work remaining
unfinished at the time Of the adjournment
this week will probably be carried on by
correspondence, and thus the work OF re-
vision will continue all winter.
Some splendid sermons are promised in
the local churches to-day. As far as known
the following are the assignments of the
visiting clergymen: Rev. W. c. Roberts,
d. D., LII. D., will preach in the morning
at the Bellefeld church and in the evening
at the Third Church on Sixth avenue. In
the morning Rev. Herrick johnson, d. D.,
Will preach in The Third Church, and in the
evening he will occupy the pulpit Of the
Second Church, corner of Penn avenue and

PIANOS AND ORGANS.
Echols, McMurray & Co., A1leghen.

The impression used to prevail that it was
necessary for the citizens of the sister city to
come to PIttshurg ia buy a piano or organ,
but that idea has been most successfully
combatted by this firm, who have taught the
people that they can buy magnificent instru-
ments right at 1o3 Sandusky street. and that
the tide of travel has turned to Allegheny.
The superb instruments shown by
Echols, McMurray & Co. at their e1-
hibit have astonished those who were
unaware of the new order of things, and
we'll they might, for they are splendid
examples of what can be found in high
grade, standard pianos and organs. When
people purchase such celebrated makes as
the Weber, Ahlstrom, Chase Brothers,
Kurtzman or Mason & Hamlin. they are going
to get the worth of their money and more too;
or the same with leading makes of organs,
the Tabor, Mason & Hamlin, Waterloo or
Carpenter. 1t is dealing in instruments of
these classes and low prices, which have
built up the business of this firm so rapidly;
they have a large stock rom which to
choose, and discreet people will go and ex-
anime the wareroom at 123 Sandusky street
before coming to a decision.

MISTAKEN PETITIONERS.
A Bridge Wanted at Somerset Street, Not at
Washington Avenue.

A Bridge Wanted at Somerset Street, Not at
Washington Avenue.
A peculiar mistake has been found in the
matters submitted to Allegheny Councils.
The residents of Somerset street and vicin-
ity are very anxious to have a foot bridge
over the railroad and connecting with Full
ton street. There is very high embank-
ment on Sonerses street overlooking the
railroad, and i. is impossible to get across
without going several squares to Washing
ton or Highland avenues, which is about
ten minutes walk. 1t was understood that
petition was presented to Councils for a
bridge there. but it turns out that the petit
tion asks for bridge at Washington ave-
nue..
According to the statement of Ordinance
Officer Barkley the residents of Washing
ton avenue do not want a bridge as it is
level with the road and can always be
crossed. 1t is the Somerset street people
who want the bridge and want it badly.
A mother petition will probably be presented
to Councils asking for bridge connecting
Somerset and Fulton streets.

stock, and the actually handsome garments
that he knows so we'll how to produce. They
have, too, to commend the superior work
manshlp. the smoothness finish, and have
only pleasant anticIpations with regard to
the fall and winter suits and overcoats they
have ordered. Pittsburgers, surelv the most
interested oI all upon this subject, should
place their orders at once, before the outside
list becomes so extended that home people
will have no choice but to wait until Mr..
Maeder is able to work around to them, and
that means a discouragtng wait for those
who are content only with the merchant
