EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE,
And Call at Kleber Bros

After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most of the visitors (who mean
business) call at Fl. Kleber & Bros, 5O6
Wood street, and select one of their superior
pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make fine show is one thing
and to give peopl: the very finest instru-
ments at the price of the common second
class goods is quite another thing, The
Messrs Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest
confidence of the public, and whether they
exhibit or not, whether they hold forth on
the principal business street of P ttsburg,
Wood street, or in Diamond or Virgin
alley, the public will seek them out and
congratulate themselves that they have
found out the place which is utterly safe and
reliable, and above the sharp tricks of new
houses which have come in at the eleventh
hour and which have to rely upon the
credulitv OF the public to get rid OF their
goods-using clubs and other knock-down
arguments to bulldoze their callers into
buying their inferior wares-articles which
the Kleber Bros. had long since rejected as
unworthy of being associated with their
honorable record and name. Such pianos
as Stelnway's, Conover's, Opera, Gabler,
Emerson, and organs such as the greet
Vocalions Earhuff dust-proof and Burdett,
cannot be duplicated in this country.
Klebers' give an eight-year warrantee and
sell on easy time payments.

How an Insurance Agents Business is Hurt
by His Name.
Prothonotary John Bradley yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Lee MCDOWELL, for
mer clerk in Mr.. Bradley's Office, who is
now in San Antonio, and who stated he had
seen A. C. Jarrett, the missing real estate
agent of the Southside. Mr.. Woodwell did
not know anything about the circumstances
under which Mr.. Jarrett had left. but i'm
agined something was wrong. Jarrett was
haggard and sickly, and did not care to talk
much to MCDOWELL, although both had for
nerly been good friends. He told Mr..
MCDOWELL he was going to South America.
An unfortunate thing has resulted from
Mr.. Jarrett's transactions, and one that has
already resulted in 4 considerable loss to
Jarrett & Shook, the insurance agents on
Fourth avenue. A. c. Jarrett was a real
estate agent, while Jarrett & Shook are ex-
clusively insurance agents, and yet many
people have taken it for granted that A. G.
Jarrett was a member OF the firm
and the firm has been the loser as.
consequence. w. N. jarrett
is the insurance agent. One day this week,
Mr.. Jarrett called on firm to renew $50
900 line of insurance which was about to ex-
pire. "Oh, we thought you had left the
city, and we gave our business to another
agent" was the answer he got. "This is
only one of five similar cases that have oc-
Cured this week." says Mr.. Jarrett. eve
had no connection whatever with A. C.
Jarrett. We transact an entirely different
business, and yet we have been made to
suffer great deal"

WITH SPLENDID MUSIC.

The Iron and Steel Men Entertained at Car

Concert.
The complimentary concert given at Car

1t was the first appearance Of Miss May
Beesley, the new soprano of the Third Pres

stood in need. Her brilliant execution and
high range of voice so pleased the most ex-

Mellor and played the selections chosen BY
the latter. While good many were dis
appointed at the illness OF Mr.. Mellor, they
could not but be greatly pleased at the fine
performance of his substitute. Mr.. Neyin's
piano solos were badly spoiled by the piano
which is the instrument used as an ac-
compartment and is not in condition for
solo work. Notwithstanding this handicap
his renditIons were certainly successful.
The Mozart Club had a large representa-
tion out and the chorus filled large
portion of the gallery. The choruses under
the direction OF Mr.. j. P. McCollum were
grand and the hall fairly rang with the
splendid melodies. Mr.. John Pritchard
played the organ accompaniment.
Every number on the programme was
rendered in the most excellent manner, and
as the musicale was arranged to suit the
tastes of the visitors, it could not fail to
please.

SURGING STREAMS OF HUMANITY.
A Stranger is Surprised at the Remark

BOSTON GIRLS WATCH THEIR BEAUX

Each Saturday night the streets in the
lower portion of the city are more or less
densely packed than on the preceding one.
The main arteries below the Hump" are
congested by the streams of humanity pour
ing into them. Last night it looked as il
the limit had been reached, and that either
the streets must he widened, or that the in
habitants of Allegheny county must effect
an arrangement whereby, but limited

time on Saturday night. The barber shop
system of giving checks might help the
matter.

the Republican Committee.
Nine of the 200 or 300 members of the
Allegheny County Republican Committee
met yesterday afternoon, and adjourned in
very short order. but not before one member
had declared that there were traitors in the
camp.
Chairman Porter called the meeting to
order, and 7. Holmes Miller moved that the
calling of the roll be dispensed with.
J. B. Kennedy jumped to his feet and e1-
claimed with some excitement, ut would
be we'll to call the roll; this formality has
been dispensed with too often. ] have at
tended half 4 dozen meetings lately, and
have not heard the roll called vet There
are names of persons on it who have avowed
their intentions to vote Tor the opposition.
1t 10 time we should count noses and find
out who are loyal and who are disloyal. I
never saw a committee where there was so
much chilliness toward the State ticket. I
think it's about time we knew where we
stand"
One of the spectators in the lobby. worked
up to a high pitch of indignant enthusiasm
by Mr.. Kennedy's eloquence, aided, per-
haps, by something even stronger, jumped
into tho arena and yelled: ''That's the way
to talk. That's the proper thing"
The balance of the committee paid no heed
to the protest, and there being 10 business
to transact, an adjournment was taken.

IN THE COKE REGION.
FOUR SCORE DELIGHTED VISITORS TO
coNNELLSVILLE.

American Skill and Enterprise Compli-
mented by Allan Excursion to Many
Points of Interest-SOme Valuable Statis-
teal Comparisons and Pointers.
-Four score of the visitors availed them
selves of the Connellsville Region Excursion
yesterday morning. And four score
pleased sight-Seers returned in the after
noon with wIdened views of American en-
terprise; statistics on the commercial end of
the business, and feeling appreciative of
John Schlosser's catering.
The train conveying the tourists hauled
out at S:45 A. NJ. There were on board, in
addition to their guests, the following gen.
tlemen: h. C. Frick, W. L. Abbott. H.
E. Collins, james Dorsey, J. NJ. and S. L.
Schoonmaker, Charles Lockhart, William
Thaw, Jr., H. w. Oliver, Lennox Scaife,
John Walker, J. Morton Hail, John E.
Atcheson and r. L. Martin, of Union
town. Andrew Carnegie boarded the
train at Shadyside, and remained with the
party all day. Excellent maps of the region
were distributed among the passengers
From Scottsdale the train went by way of
the Mt. Pleasant branch to the Standard
Works, and thence to Adelaide by the
Youghlogheny Northern road, and then to
Leisenring No. l and Trotten and David
son.
At the Standard, each guest was provided
with safety lamps The visitors, in order to
reach the cage, passed between two mine in
spectors, and each lamp was locked. The
principal of mining coal in America was
explained by Superintendent Thomas
Lynch, of the II. c. Frick Coke Company.
BLASTING IN MINES EXPLAINED.
The theory and practice of blasting in
mines was explained to a number of guests
by John L. Kirk.
On returning to the cars John B. Schlos-
ser served the party an appetizing luncheon
in his usual excellent style.
The foreign guests were delighted with
what they saw. They said that here,
the coal which is thrown away they would
be glad to use, and to use its like contin-
ually. In this respect they believe Ameri-
can producers are wasteful.
The British manufacturer pays about
$13 go per ton for furnace coke on board
cars at the ovens and twice as much for
transporting the same as is paid in
America. They are astOnished that a class
OF coke equal 10 their own celebrated Dur
ham sells for 81 10 per ton. The visitors
were told that coke was first made in this
country 73 years ago. 1t was only within
the past 20 years that the discovery of the
value OF the coke OF the Connellsyille re-
gion demanded developments which to-day
place coke making as the greatest industry
in the country next to steel.
MUCH is DUE TO COKE.
The large productions of pig iron west OF
the Alleghenies is owing to the opening up
of the Connellsville region Ia 1880. Seven
ty-two per cent of all the coke produced in
this country was burned there. 1t is esti-
mated that there were originally Y, 900 acres
Of coal in these fields, of which 60, 900 acres
remain unmined.

Southside Manufacturers Expect a Surplus
of Fuel in a Few Days.
Manufacturers of the Southside who have
had occasion now and then to complain
about a temporary shortage of gas, are salts
fed that their troubles in this direction are
about at an end. Patrons of the MonougaheIa
Company have been assured that within two
weeks the facilities will be increased to
such an extent that there will be a steady
and abundant supply. The Philadelphia
Company also promises to be in line by the
first of November
A glass manufacturer from that part of
the city said last night: "On Wednesday
we had one ounce of pressure at our works.
Tonight we have Is ounces. The former is
not enough, but the latter is four times as
much as we could possibly use. There is
not a manufacturer over there who has any
doubts at all about the supply of gas in this
vicinity. They all know that there are
thousands of acres of territory and gas
enough for years to come. The trouble is
the companies will have to increase their
facilities. This is apparent when it is stated
that none of them will.take in any new con-
sumers. For that matter they are all en-
gagged now in putting down extra mains,
and when this work is completed we will
have more gas than we can use."

were present while three cuts of AZ cubic

is something entirely new to them.

No Stars Save Its Own to Heighten Its Glory
on the Court House Tower.
A magnificent sight was witnessed by peo.
pie coming in Fifth avenue last night. The
electric light decorations on the Court House
tower were not visible until the building
had been reached, but at Tunnel street the
great big flag could be seen through the
mellow light standing out against the dark
sky for background, as if held aloft by the
spirit OF freedom it represents
The effect was magical. There was not
star to be seen in the heavens in any direc-
lion save those on the proud emblem of lib
erty, and their glory was heightened by the
mingled rays of the electric jets that flashed
forth from their massive granite backing.
People by the hundreds stopped and gazed
in admiration at the sight. and they will
not soon forget the impressions it left.
