MIR. PoWDERLY,s ADDRESS.

Mr.. Powderly's annual address to the
Knights of Labor, which we publish to-day,
contains good deal of interesting matter.
A clearer explanation of the New York Cen
tral strike would have been desirable, and it
is plainly to be seen that Mr.. Powderly ad-
mits that that ill-timed and unfortunate
movement was a blunder which should not
be repeated. If Mr.. Powderly's suggestions
are regarded by the order the position of the
knights of Labor as to strikes, and upon the
economic problems involved in the general
terms protection and free trade are likely
to be more clearly defined.

LUCY HOOPER has been to see Bernhardt in

upon the imprisoned reptile as she calls upon
it to 'bite-bite agan-bite harder-and one gets

upon her back, so as not to hurt the hidden

CONDITION OF WALL STREET.

WALL STREET Daily Ne,0s: It has been a
rich mans panic more than anything else, for
the decline does not seem to have developed
weakness in unexpected quarters or indeed
any sufficient to cause any special anxiety.
SPRINGFIELD Republican: But the thing
which weighs heaviest on the market is the
situation abroad. Europe has led and still
leads in the liquidation now in such marked
progress, and while it continues abroad, it will
go on here in greater or less degree.
WALL STREET DGtly Investor: Of course this
is a splendid time to buy stocks for those who
have the money and the nerve to do 1t, for IN
the nature of things the rebound must be very
great from the unreasonable depression pro-
duced by this manipulated panic.
PHILADELPHIA Press: The market did not
act as II the liquidation was at an end, but the
street is hoping for the best Comparatively
little money is borrowed on stocks, and the re-
duction of the bull account has been gradual
enough to distribute the losses pretty thor
oughly.

causes for lower prices in the heavy selling on

temporarily advance the rate of interest and
make it difficult to carry stocks on margin.
The Treasury Department evidently regards
Yesterdays stringency as artificial, and it is sig
nificant that no important interest here has
made any appeal to Secretary Window for
relief.
NEW YORK Commercial Advertiser: There
are numerous explanations for the continued
and destructive fall in prices; none of them en-
tirely satisfactory, and none OF them of such
character as to give ground for speaking conf

The money question is foremost now, as it has

A BRILLIANT EVENT.

The Marriage of Mr.. Jesse I. Lazear and
Miss Crissie McKelvy, in the East End
An Elegant Reception Follows A Days
Social Happenings.
''Standing room only' might have been said
of the wedding of Miss Christine McKelyy and
Mr.. Jessie L. Lazear that took place in the
East Liberty Presbyterian Church at 8 o'clock
last evening. The assemblage that witnessed
the interesting ceremony and after
ward graced the magnificent home Of
the McKelvys at the reception was
one of the most brilliant and fashionable of the
season. With Prof. Gittin.s at the organ the
no notes M Of MLohengrin,s Bridal Chorus announced
Murdoch, Howard Bidwell, William Patrick.
William Faber, Jr.: George Lyon. Stewart
Johnston. James Hailman, Denniston Lyon,
Ralston Mckelvy and Fred Wise, who had
previously seated the elegantly attired guests,
preceded the maid of honor, Miss May Lyon.
and the bride, who was escorted up the aisle by
her father, Mr.. John r. Mckelvy. The groom
and his best man, Mr. Lyttleton LaZear, were
in waiting at the laltar and the all-imDortaDt
words were spoken by Rev. DR.. Kumler, pastor
of the church.
The bride, bright, attractive and beautiful
girl, whose propensity for making and retain
ing friends is almost abnormal, was costumed
in an elegant white brocade of heavy rich silk.
fashioned with long train and bodice half
high. A veil of extreme length and exquisite
texture enVeloped her graceful figure and
a bouquet of the Mrs. Hardy" chrysan
themums gave the finishing touch to tie
pretty apparition. The maid Of honor was
golden-a gown of golden crepe, gloves, slip
pers and bouquet to correspond-made her
more bewitching than ever, and she is always
bewitching TO an uncomfortable degree for
some people.
The reception that followed the church
services was an elaborate one. The brown
sfone mansion wherein the bride has spent her
girlhood days was radiant with many lights,
magnificent palms and tropical plants, and
from behind screen of massive palms came
the enhancing strains of Toerge's Or
chestra as welcome to the guests
as they entered the hallway. In a room on the
second floor the wedding presents were dis
played and formed an attraction during the en-
tire evening. as there were so many, and they
were so tasty and elegant.
The steward of the Duquesne Club, Mr..
Riley. was responsible for the tempting supper,
which of the features of the
evening, and Messrs. A. NJ & j. B. Murdoch
superintended the floral decorations. Mr..
Lazear, who is a prominent young attorney ON
Grant street. carried his bride off last evening
on late train to places unknown, but promised
to return ere long and with her occupy the resi-
dence on South Highland avenue prepared for
them.

Too Much Water.
"THERE is more rheumatism about this fal

"THERE is more rheumatism about this fall
than remember for years" said doctor
of wide practice yesterday. II find that CON-
plants that can be attributed to the damp
weather exceed all the others put together.
The fact is, the climatic change which has oc-
Cured during the last three years is not prop
erly appreciated by the public at large. I am
speaking OF this region only but believe it is
measureably true of the whole continent. when
say that for more than three years the atmos-
phere has been superhumid to remark
able degree. Neither extreme heat in
summer nor extreme cold in winter have
come to our rescue to dry out the air
and the earth charged with moisture. The
average humidity of the seasons for 36 months
past has been greater, am certain. than for
any previous period of which records are ex-
tant. In consequence rheumatism, catarrhal
complaints and lung troubles are keeping the
doctors busy. I think a winter OF the old
fashioned sort, hard frosts lasting several
weeks at time would be blessing, in sani-
tary sense. that could hardly be overrated. If
this winter proves to be like unto last years
look for an increased mortality in this city"

THE TOPICAL TALKER.
A Disappointment.

a GENTLEMAN who lives in the East End has
among his worldly possessions horse that
dances to music with great grace and agility.
This saltatory accomplishment is not appre-
ciated very highly, however, by the driver of
the beast tor the apparently good reason that
the dance usually winds up, as 1t does in Hun
garian circles. with general smash up. He
has often driven a couple of blocks out of his
way to avoid a perambulating band.
A few days before the election the East
Ender drove into town and tied up his horse in
front of shoe store, which he entered with a
view to getting shod. He was trying on a pair
of shoes, and had both of his own shoes off and
one new one on, when a boompitty, boompitty
boom, announcing the approach of a band, fell
upon his ear.
'Great Scott! My horse'n bolt" he shouted
to the astonished salesman as he rushed to the
door, with but one shoe on. He sprang into
the buggy and caught the lines. 1t was not
moment too soon, apparently, for the horse,
with ears pricked up. was already nervous A
bystander loosed the hitching strap, but the
agitated gentleman in the buggy saw that it
was too late to attempt to turn around in the
narrow tboroughfare and flee from the ap-
preaching band. 1t was confoundedly unpleas-
ant, but he braced his booted foot against the
dashboard. gripped the lines firmly, and pre-
pared to face the music. 1t was brass band,
and they we're playing something very noisy
and full of chances for the bass drum To the
pallid driver in the doomed buggy it was the
most alarming Invitation to the Dance he
had ever heard. The horse was trembling
slightly-a trick he had before going into the
air.
Down the street came the big drum major,
making holy show of himself as usual and
behind him came whrlwind of tarrarums and
boompitty booms. Then - the horse sto cd
stock still and looked calmly into trombone
as it almost touched his nose, as if brazen
music were the one soothing inf uence his
equine soul had ever known.
The East Ender declares, moreover, that as
he re-hitched the disappointing steed he de-
tected a twinkle in his left eye. and heard a
rumble in the beasts throat that might have
been taken for horse laugh.

A PARAGRAPH announces that the canal

Chattanooga to the Ohio This is a matter of
especial interest to Pittsburg, as it will enable

quality can be produced there. 1t is also
likely that the opening of a cheap route which
lessons the cost of getting the products of that
field to the market, will modify the exceed
ingly low figures of production that have been
reported thence by rendering it possible to pay
higher wages.

Questions the Order of Woodmen, Now in
Session, Must Meet.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL, November 1.-THE
biennial meeting of the Jead Camp Of the
Order of Modern Woodmen, opened here
to-day. The organization has 1000 members
in Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota and North and
South Dakota. The order is considerably torn
up by the conflicting interests of some of Its
leaders. and has been involved in considerable
litigation.
A largely attended meeting was held at Des
Moines in August last at the instance of Head
Consul Joseph c. Root which would have re-
suited in the organization abandoning its Illi-
nois charter and removing headquarters to
that city had not an injunction been obtained
from the Chicago courts by Dr. Mckinney and
other members of the management. Some
time ago, also, the head camp imposed special
and double assessments on all its local camps
and undertook to suspend members who did
not pay up. The claim was made by the men,
bers that the assessment was Illegal. and two
Chicago courts have so decided and enjoined
the proposed suspensions.

observation bets amounting to at least SO, 900
or $50, OoO in the aggregate were made in this
city. There is one business man whose inter-

$4,000 at least by Pattison's election, and he
would have been stripped of every bit of prop
erty and every dollar he had if Delamater had
won"
