What Happened TO n Mnn Cursed With q

There was a lively breeze blowing in
the streets early this morning. At Q
o'clock sharp an extra Whit of wind blew
something that looked like a man into the
corridors'of the Monongahela Hotel. Gath

son OF the Sunny South, but Clerk Ellis
never wilted when the stranger lowered
above him and hissed in a voice full of
emotion and beer:

Dispatch. 1t is my business to work the
hotels. See?" giving the register flip that
made the leaves ripple. "What have you

Alex. Wilson, the cigar dealer, gave his

Captain Silvus, of Central station, said:
Gas soon as the news came that New York
City had passed a law making young
tobacco users liable to arrest, some street
boys came to me and asked whether they
were in danger of being locked up. I told
them not yet, but Pittsburg ought to have
that law"

When the firm found the detectives on
the track of its employees, Mr.. Logan begged
that nothing be said about it. He sand one
of the men doing the stealing had been in
their employ for years, and if arrested the
shock would disgrace the mans wife and
five children. He wanted the matter kept
as quiet as possible, and refused to prosecute
any Of the men. He said the firm could
suffer the loss, and, if no arrests were made,
the matter would blow over. Inspector
McAleese was not doing business in that
way, and ordered Mr.. Bailey brought in.
The detectives out looking for the others up
until midnight had made no more arrests.
An important part of the business is the
finding of three revolvers in Gallinger's
pawnshop. Mr.. Gallinger's son was ar
rested yesterday for receiving stolen goods,
and this case follows on the heels of the
other. Inspector McAleese said last night
that Mr.. Stern would also find himself in
trouble. as his attempt to get out of it before
the arrest was made was prima facia evil
dence of his guilt. 1t is expected that the
other arrests will be made this morning
when the clerks report for duty.

PENN AVE. STORES.
QUEER

That it should be put to so severe a test
the first day. We started the baskets
yesterday and we had the biggest day
for weeks. Store was crowded almost
from the opening to the closing of the
doors. Despite the rush and despite
the newness of the thing there was
scarcely hitch during the entire day.
The first rehearsal was the most thor
ough and practical one any new piece of
machinery ever had. Only few days
and you will marvel at the smoothness
and dispatch accomplished by our new
system. 1t is the best product of years
of thought. We hope sincerely that it
will meet the peoples approval.
We're actually sorry to say goodby to
the bright little army of boys that have
served you so long. You can put your
finger there, and there, and there, on
men among the greatest of this great
city who have forged their way to the
very foremost ranks from this very
practical starting point-the cash boy.
But progress is progress.
You can't get 81 worth of goods for
81 20 even at our most extraordinary
Wash Goods remnant counter. It's not
quite that bad-for us-but almost.
Hundreds of pieces from 20 yards and
down at the lowest remnant prices you
ever heard of. Almost OUR remnant
prices, and likely less than ordinary
remnant prices on every INCH Of
Wash Goods in stock. All goods must

changing of departments, and prices

lhoch springs independent
Since its opening over two years ago
the Van Dyke mine has suffered from
various vicissitudes and undergone a
good many changes in management and
ownership. A portion Of the land claimed
by the Van Dyke company is in litiga-
ton and as oon as the ownership OF the
disputed coal land is decided it is proba-
BILE that the entire property will be pur
chased by Mark Hopkins, who has been
running the mine since Cotton & Hall
gave up the management of it. The
only time the mine paid much OF a profit
was when Hall 4 Hopkins had the con-
tract for getting out coal and Mr.. Hop
kins had the management of it.
There has never been any trouble in
finding a ready sale for the coal. Its
high quality is such that its finds a ready
market everywhere. The vein being only
about four feet thick it is a little more
expensive to work than some other mines
so that the question of its profitable work
ing depends much upon the management.

How many of the girls have heard OF
"the friendship ring" that ingenious de-
vice for depicting the pockets and ruin
ing the characters of all mankind? The
scheme is to collect a penny from zach
of your friends until you obtain two
hundred and then invest the money in a
ring. A score or more of young ladies
engaged in this genteel begging in one
place will make things exceedingly live
ly for the gentlemen they can catch.
Their persistence is something wonder
full, and the amount of prevarication
they will commit in trying to convince a
man that they haven't asked him for a
penny before, when, in truth, they have
robbed him Of anywhere from three to a
dozen, is sad to contemplate. = Cor.

condition OF Mrs. j. @. Blaine, Jr.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has about
abandoned hope. Instead of getting bet
ter, she is, if anything, a trife worse.
Medical science does not seem to be able
to alleviate, yet alone cure, her infiam-
matory rheumatism. 1t is not likely that
she will ever go on the stage. She has
not been out of her sick room in months.
Most of the time she is in bed with her
unfortunate leg in a plaster cast.
She is a patient sufferer, and never
complains, although the cup of sorrow
was pressed to her lips very early in life.
Her baby boy is progressing finely, and
Is a bright, healthful looking little sprite
the only sunbeam that brightens its
mothers room. Some of her friends are
still loyal, but they are few. There have
been times when poverty crossed the
threshold of the sick room, and the poor
creature would have suffered for the
necessaries of life but for the i~nterposi-
ton of friends OF the ones who have
proved faithful nom is more deserving
of credit than the English maid-of-all-
work, who has served Mrs. Blaine with
out pay, and at times has drawn upon
her savings of years to keep the wolf
from the door.-New York Mail and Ex-
press.
