II Will be Located at New Portage and a
Pittsburger is In II.
The old town of New Portage, O., will
within a short time be ranked among
the foremost of manufacturing places
in the Buckeye State. The sudden
elevation of the town is due to
a number of capitalists, who have
selected that place for the location of large
boiler works, blast furnace and rolling
mill, which will be operated by syndicate
or stock company known as the Sterling
Manufacturing Company, with o. C. Bar
bour, of New York, President; Allan M.
Sterling, Secretary and Treasurer, and
Thomas J. Deegan, of James P. Witherow
& Co., General Manager. The organization
has paid in capital of $4,000
The company is a reorganization of the
defunct International Boiler Company. The
company negotiated for the purchase of a
tract of land at New Castle, but found that
an English syndicate had gebbled all the
available manufacturing sites at that place.
The company contemplates erecting tube
works to be operated in conjunction with
the ot 1er plants.

A number of visitors from outside cities
voted. Under one vote is the note, "a New
York cable company only procured their
right OF way from the city by promising to
run all-night cars. 1t was also noticeable
that a good many workingmen waited for
their turn to vote 'yes, often remarking,
81 have had to walk home after work and
know how it goes"
Those who voted "no" gave as reasons
that it would encourage persons to
keep late hours when they ought
10 be in bed. They further said
they never had any use for all-night cars.

SCHOOL CHILDREN'S WORK.
YOUNGSTERS SURPRISE OLD TIMERS
WITH coPYBooK ART.

Teachers Busy All Day Getting the Benuri-
full Specimens Of Chirography In PInce-
All the schools Contributed TO the Ex-
hibiI.
The school children of Pittsburg walked
of with prize at the Paris Exposition for
their clever work in crayon and drawing.
Last May they commenced to prepare their
exhibit for the Pittsburg show. and a most
creditable one it is. Superintendent
Luckey, Miss Ralston and several other
teachers were busy yesterday putting the
specimens on the wall. There are too many
for the space allotted, and these will be ar
arranged on tables. Last night Prof. An
drews and Assistant Secretary Logan took
great pleasure in showing what the Pitts
burg schools can do. More than one per-
son was greatly surprised, and the display
reflects much credit on both teachers and
pupils.
The High School, normal department
and 81 wand schools are contributors. 1t is
all done in PENCIL, the High School exhibit
consisting of crayon drawing. All sorts of
fguves and objects have been carefully
drawn. Beside these Is large books show
ing the penmanShip in the schools are on
the tables. There are some remarkably
good specimens written by the younger
children. Superintendent Luckey states
that the children these days are taught to
write at the same time when they commence
to learn their letters, and in the future the
smart people will not be recognized by their
wretched cnirography.
In the geological line the students of the
High School have made a very creditable
collection of insects. A large herbarium
10 of Yala nd
ers. Mr.. Luckey and General Manager
Johnston, who saw the Paris display, claim
that the present one is out of sight, and no
comparison can be made Superintendent
Luckey is immensely pleased with what the
children have accomplished. He hopes
ONE day to see them at work making clay
models, which is more difficult.

CHIcAGo's MAYORS VIEWS.
He SAYS the Force Bill Is Not Favorably
Considered There.

Considered There.
The Hon. D. G. Cregier, Mayor of Chicago,
accompanied by Mrs. Cregier, arrived in the
city yesterday en- route to New York
on a pleasure tour. Mayor Cregier
talked of Chicago and her people,
he said: "The people of Chicago
are not taking much interest in anything of
a public nature at present outside of the
Worlds Fair, and opinions differ widely as
to the location of the worlds exhibit. While
not engaged discussing the probable site for
the fair, thev give some thought TO the
questions uppermost in the minds of peo-
pie in every section. They do not take kindly
to the force bill, from what I have heard.
The leading business men of our city pro-
nounce it to be one of the most radical and
unconstitutional measures ever introduced
in the Senate, and believe that il it is passed,
it will materially affect the business relations
that now exist between the Northern and
Southern States.
81 think that the bill, if passed, will un-
questionably put the country In the same
position as European nations which are
governed by unscrupulous rulers. 1t is so
rabid that don't see how any fair-minded
man, with the nations welfare at heart,
could conscientiously advocate it. believe
that tariff reform will ultimately be brought
about. The condition and opinions of
American people demand that material
changes be made on tariff duties"

TRACTION MEN THANKFUL.

Citizens Line Employees Get More Pay and
Better Working Hours.
The DISPATCH some time ago referred to
the fact that the Citizens Traction line en-
ployes were agitating for a reduction in
hours. The company has been unable to
grant any reduction in the working hours,
but are willing to give the men an increase
in wages. Yesterday the pay Of the grip
men was raised from 81 25 to 50 40. and
that of the conductors from 81 to 81 20.
The time schedule was also rearranged.
The "swingers'' who formerly were the
first out in the morning and the last home
at night, will now be relieved at 8 o'clock.
The arrangement gives general satisfaction
to the men.

REDUCED TO NINE HOURS

Is the Days Work In the Pennsy Shops,
but the Men Kick.
Master Mechanic Schafer, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company shops, yesterday
caused notice to be posted in the works in
forming the men that from to-day the hours
OF labor would be reduced to nine hours. A
general kick has ensued in consequence.
The men are paid by the hour, and don't
appreciate losing an hours wages every day.
The machinists and boiler makers at once
notified the master mechanic that they would
not work to-day, and the other employees
held meetings last night and discussed what
action they should take. What the out
Come will be is not said.
