COMPLETING DETAILS,
Head Office of the American Window Glass
Company to be in this CITY

Head Office of the American Window Glass
Company to be in this City,
Late advices from Chicago. where the Amer
lean Window Glass Company is completing its
arrangements, are confrmatory of the state
ments regarding The operations OF the window
glass manufacturers which have already been
published in these columns.
James b. Chambers has been elected Presi-
dent, and William Loeffler Treasurer of the
company. Thomas f. Hart, of Muncie, Ind,
is the Vice President and O. F. Frazee, of
Chicags. Secretary. The principal office will
be in this city. Exception is being taken
by few manufacturers TO the project,
on the ground that they will lose their identity
as manufacturers. Every factory will still re-
tain its distinguishing mark, and the grade of
the product will be noted by an Inspector. The
Incentive to produce superior glass will still re-
main, since the product will be sold on its
merits. The yield of any factory now turning
out better glass than its neighbors will still
continue to command higher prices. The OBJ
]ects OF the combination may be stated shortly,
as three fold: To prevent underwriting; to
raise the standard of native glass so as to sell
1t where European glass now has the call; and,
on the principle that where there is union
there is strength. to prepare for a trial of
strength next year with the workers.

THE HAPPY CHILDREN
ADDRESSED BY THE BISHOPS At CAR.
NEGiE HALL.

Bishop Talbot Tells About the Indians and
Rev. DIR. Graves Talks About the
Chinese-Bishop Kirkby and His Worlds
Junior Auxiliary Collection.
Bright, happy-faced children filled Car
negie Hall yesterday to hear what the Epis-
copal bishops and rectors had to say about
the mission schools. The little ones do their
share in the mission work, and it was not
more than right that the "big people" should
render an account of the pennies and nickels
stored away by the children and given for the
support of the mission schools of the church
all over the world. So they turned out en-
masse yesterday, and sat with smiling faces
while they listened to the stories of the other
children hundreds of miles away, who do not
have schools and churches, and some of them
not even enough to eat. Bishop Talbot told
them about the little redskins who go to school
at their expense, and they were especially in
terested in the story of the old Chief. Washega.
of whom the good Bishop had told them when
he was here before
Rev. DR.. Graves, of China, told how the boys
and girls of China study their lessons. singing
them SO loud that their diligence would be
away. Then he told of one of their boys'
who had been taken away fs0m the mission
school by his father, who wanted him to return
to the worship of idols. but the boy refused.
He has not been heard of SINCE aud his old
teachers are anxious to know what has become
of him.
During the offertory Mrs. Lucas, of Foxburg,
sang 20 Lord, Rebuke Me Not" in a clear full
voice. that made quite impression on her
little auditors as we'll as the many older peo-
pie present
The last speaker was the Rt Rev. W. W.
Klrkby, of New York. The Bishop was seen
TO be fat and proved to be as jolly and good
natured as he was fat. and his witty sallies Kept
the audience continually laughing. In intro
ducing the speaker, Bishop Whitehead said that
those who felt called upon to leave would be
excused. to which Bishop Kirkby remarked:
"A moving speaker is a good thing for an
anxious audience, but a moving audience is not
SO good for an anxious speaker"
The Bishop then talked to the children about
his WORLDS. First the Bishop would re-
peat his world" and then the audience would
follow The first one was. "WickedneSS Over
spreads Regions Like the Deluge." The funny
part of this "world'' was that several of the
ministers made slight mistakes in the last word,
incidentally mentioning the name of his satanic
majesty instead of the proper word. The
Others were, What Our Religion Loudly De-
mands" and I'VE Only Require Large Dona-
tions" AS the response to the last sentence
was not very spirited, the Bishop remarked
that the audience was rather weak on 1.-THE do
nation" but he was mistaken, for the result of
the children's offering of the afternoon was
SIS, which was added to the credit of the
Junior Auxiliary.

THE CURTAIN DID NOT RISE.
An OPERA CUT SHORT By THE MANIAC.
ERs DISAPPEARANCE.

How Performers Were Brought From Other
Cities and Left Without Pay-They Tell
Their Own stories-The Engagements
) May Yet Be Filled.
Alexander Varena, of New York, came
to this city lew weeks ago and entered
into contract with the Dramatic Committee
of the Forbes Street Turnverein to give a
performance in the hall one night each week.
A similar contract was made with the Allie
gheny TurnvereIn. Varena engaged actors and
singers from New York, Cleveland and Cincin-
natl, making contracts with them for
the season. Two weeks performances
have already been given and there
when an audience Of over 800 persons assem-
bled they found the hall was dark and no COM
pany to be found. An investigation was made
William Adrian. the stage manager of the hall,
house,on Magee street.
Mr. Adrian said: ~ have no idea where Mr..
Varena has gone. A few days ago he talked Of
going to Cincinnati. His wife, Fraulein Won
Hofstetter, is a great vocalist there. and as he
has had some trouble with his leading lady
here, expected he intended to bring his wife
here. Yesterday he was with me until noon,
when he left, saying he was going nome TO bed.
At 5 o'clock my wife came to my Office and told
me that during her absence Varena had come
to the house and removed his trunk. This
was after he left me at noon.
have not seen him and know not
where he is. We were intimate, but he bade
neither my wife nor myself good5y nor said he
was going or where, He owes me nothing nor
the Turnverein. In fact, l knew of nothing he
owes, except his contracts with the actors and
ACTRESSES. Mr.. Otto Reuter-, of Cleveland, and
Miss NJ. Muench, of New York, two of the
members of his company. are in my house now
and you can talk to them"
Mr.. Reuter- and Miss Muench were both
seen. Tney have season contracts, but Miss
Muench is the only member of the company
who did not receive some advance money.
They did not care to talk for publication. They
thought Varena had acted in most extraor-
dinary manner. but thought he might yet re-
turn and make his contracts good.
The Dramatic Committee Of the Turnvercin
held meeting last night and decided that if
Varena does not communicate with them to-day
they will give performances in this city. Alle-
gheny and Homestead to raise enough money
to pay the company.

This Evening.
The William H. McCleary Glee Club Will not
sing at The Americus Club meeting this even

the absence Of . prayer singing has opened
the exercises and the McCleary Club was
always called upon to do the vocal business
About 10 days ago Collector Warmcastle sent
to tie manager of the club and engaged the
latter 10 sing at the meeting this evening.
Nothing WAS thought of this until yesterday
morning when several Amercus Club people
objected 10 the McCleary music.
As result the club was left of the pro-
cramme, and when the vocaliSrs asked why
they were told the time would be SO fully occu-
pied 1T the meeting by speakers that the club
would have no show 10 display its talent. 1t
did not take the singers long to find out the
ola fight between the Americus and Tariff
Clubs had broken out again and are not pleased
that the former Is visiting its spite on their
patron.
a letter was received from Assistant Secre-
tary Cyrus Bussey, of the Department of the
Interior saying he will be present at the meet
ing and will make an address.

EMERY NEVER ACCUSED BEACH
OF Using Money UIegitimately During the
Campaign of 1883.

OF Using Money HIegitiInately During the
Campaign of 1883.
The following telegram, which is self-ex-
planatory, was received last evening:
BRADFORD, PA. October q.
To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
Under date OF the Goth inst, Hon. l.. c. Beach
has MADE a public statement that had in
PiJtsburC quoted him as saying that he had
used money legitimately for Messrs. Quay
and Andrews in the campaign OF 1SSS.' Out of
justice TO both Mr.. Beach and myself, want to
say that l never so stated in any Of my speech.
The language used by me at Pittsburg, which
! read from Mr. Beach's statement to me, was:
After the State campaign was through
! camo ZONE. Had never had any
money but my expenses Delamater
had all the money and loads of it." This is
exactly what I read and nothing more on this
point, and Is an extract from Mr.. Boach's con-
versauo with me IN my paIlor March last,
heard it. If Mr. Beach has been shown papers
that have misQuoted me l an sure l am not to
blame. l have not mIsrepresented him at any
time and could not certainly expect to accom-
plish any good by SO doing. All statements that
have. as have repeatedly said, am prepared
TO back up and defend. but l cannot be ex-
pected to apologize or explain any newspaper
errors or misc quOlations.
Very respectfully,

that purpose exactly that this assembly was
constituted.
The new scale, calling for an hours less work

ceptance by the storekeepers, which nobody
thought it would. Employers are not given to

of this Scale has now, however. been transferred
to the care of the Executive Board, which will

MACHINE AGAINST MAN,
Operators Must Get Out Their Coal, Either
With Men or Machines.

With Men or Machines.
The statement has been made that miners were
becoming concerned about the introduction
of labor saving machinery in mines. They ap-
prehend that the demand for their labor may
be reduced so per cent or more. The fact of
the matter is that operators are obliged to use
machinery to mine their coal, owing to the con-
tinued and increasing scarcity of mine labor
Mining is becoming less popular source of
employment every year, while the production
of coal is always increasing.
Under these circumstances operators must
find means of getting out their coal. But it
may be long time before so many machines
are in use as to materially affect the wages of
the men who now make living by coal mining.
