PENN AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
Attracting Notice Right Along.

The movement of business men to secure
and improve sites on Penn avenue continues.
The avenue possesses advantages well recog-
nized BY merchants, principal among which
are ease of access and convenient location
to railroads and cable cars. Among the
noticeable Improvements is the new build
ing erected by Arnfelds, the popular hatters
and furnishers at 1125 Penn avenue. This
firm is one of the oldest and best known in
its section, and from time to time the regular
growth of its trade has demanded enlarge
ment of space; but their latest move is the
erection of the handsome new building re-
ferred to. The front is four stories, attract
lively finished, the entrance leading into a
wide, deep and we'll arranged salesroom.
The Messrs. Arnfeld have paid particular
attention to the lighting of the store, and
thereis clear, bright light in every part ofthe
large building. 1t is in every way unusually
well adapted for the display of the very
large stock of fashionable hats and gents
furnishings carried by this firm. Their loca-
tion is central, being one square from Union
depot, and visitors will find at Arnfelds an
unequaled line of goods at popular prices
from which to make their selection.

from Munich, and the photograph man and
lot of other money makers. Nevertheless,
with the great influx of people and the de-
msnd for beds and food at any price, almost
any village in England or America would
have doubled or trebled the prices charged
for accommodation in Oberammergau. The
night i was there, for instance, more than
1000 people slept on floors and in barns, and
were unable to get seats to witness the

DR.. Depew's trip through Italy was some
what on the plan of George Washington
Phipps' European tour. The doctor arrived
in Verona at 9 o'clock in the morning of
Tuesday, and rose at 6. Then with guide
he visited the Cspulet mansion and other
places of interest He says that il Romeo
really climbed up to Juliet's balcony as re-
corded by Shakespeare that the ,Iovelorn
youth was greater acrobat than Hanlon.
DIR. Depew also spent few hours each in
Venice and Milan, and went through St.
Cothard tunnel, which impressed him, he
had ever seen. With all his sightseeing in
Italy he managed to get back to Hamburg
by Thursday.
AN INTERESTING PLACE.
Hamburg" be said, sis the most inter
esting place to me of any that ever visited,
and 1 generally 60 there every summer.
One sees there not only the great people of
one country, but of every country. The
Prince Of Wales was there" he added, with
no more tremor in his voice than if he were
mentioning the name OF T. V. Powderly,
"and Idined with him, as usually do. He
was very agreeable and cordial, and said that
he hoped neither the Behring Sea discussion
nor anything else would ever interrupt the
friendly relations existing between England
and America.
Dr.Depew said that he found the continent
of Europe almost in a panic over the
Mckinley tariff bill. "In Germany" he
said, II found it matter of universal dis
cusslon, and, even guard on the railroad
and a hotel keeper discussed it most
anxiously with me. In France, the alarm
is even greater, as the people seem to be-
lieve that to carry out its measures would
entirely ruin their commerce."
DR.. Depew sails for New York. on the
Teutonic, Wednesday.

NOT WINE BIBBERS.
THE FACTS AS TO TEMPERANCE AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.

Information Obtained at the Instance of Mrs.
Ellen }. PhInney, President of the Non.
Partisan National w. c. T. U.-The Har-
risons stand Next the Hayeses.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
CLEVELAND, O., August 30.-The con-
iusing statements that have been made in
many quarters, and the disputes that have
arisen in the various temperance orgaDiza-
tions of the country over the stories sent out
by some correspondents from Washington,
are set at rest by letter recently re-
ceived by Mrs. Ellen J. Phinney, of this
city. Mrs. Phinney is President of the Nou-
Partisan National W. G. T. o.. and in order
to satisfy herself in regard to the stories
about President Harrison being a wine bib
ber wrote to Mrs. Lydia 81. Tilton, the
President of the District of Columbia branch
OF this union, asking for full and reliable
information on the subject.
Mrs. Tilton's answer brands the stories as
false. She says: while it is true that
wine has been furnished at State dinners by
the present administration, and by every
other, except during that Of Hayes. it is
also true that very few official homes during
this administration furnished wine, and
even when it is furnished, the example of
the Harrisons, Wanamakers. Windows,
Millers, Proctors, Illusions. Hepburns,
Dorchesters, Fosters. Morgans and many
others have restraining influence. Scarcely
any of the men selected by President Har-
rison as his advisers ever take wine. Blaine
is now a total ahstainer, President Har-
rison does not take wine at any of the re-
ceptions, and Mrs. Harrison never under
any circumstances takes wine. Never
since the days of Mrs. Hayes has SO
little wine been taken at public receptions
in Washington as during the present adj
ministration."

fBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH,
LONDON, August 3O.-The week has
passed without the slightest amelioration of
the grievous state of affairs in Armenia.
The situation in that part of the Turkish
empire is, in fact, fast approaching that in
Bulgaria Immediately previous to Russian
Intervention, which resulted in the LIBERIA
tion of the Balkan state. Armenian agents
in Europe are preparing memorial to the
German Emperor, praying him to convene
a conference of the Powers who signed the
treaty of Berlin, the provisions of which
have been persistently set at naught by
Turkey.
Russia, it is known, would STAY her hand
If there were reasonable prospects of such a
conference and of European remonstrances
to the Sultan. Mr.. Gladstone continues to
watch the course of events in Armenia, and
is collecting mass of information respect
ing Turkish oppression which may, at any
moment, be given to the world in the shape
of a pamphlet OF character similar to that
which eonvulsed Europe with Indignation,
in 1S76-'77, and set moving the memorable
Bulgarian atrocity" agitation in England.

The Novel Birthday Gift Which is Being

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.J
LONDON, August 30.-Queen Victoria
has arrived at Balmoral, her beautiful estate
in Scotland, for her customary autumnal
stay. She was much displeased at Perth
with the conduct of her loyal subjects, who
resorted to all sorts of devices to obtain
glimpse of her when breakfasting at the sta
ton hotel. For the remainder of the Jour-
ney North the Queen kept out of sight, and
would not show herself even to the enormous
crowd which Justify cheered the royal car
on its arrival at Aberdeen, one of Victoria's
favorite towns.
A German LADY described as ''eminent
and well-known in Berlin and Viennese
court circles" has been for some time past
engaged In the preparation of work. a
copy OF which she intends to present to
Queen Victoria as surprise gift on her next
birthday eight months hence. The news
papers, however, have divulged the secret
and the Queen must now know all about it.
Notwithstanding this the scheme, which at
least has the merit of novelty, will be pro-
ceeded with. 1t consists of the compilation
of magazine articles written by notable
women throughout the world concerning
Queen Victoria as a woman and Queen"
There will be essays, studies, "reminiscences,
etc., and the authors, whose literary efforts
will be enshrined in this unique scrap book
include representatives OF America, Eng

WORSE AND MORE OF 1T.
THE POTATO BLIGHT IN IRELAND STILL
SPREADING.

An Official Report as 10 the Extent of the
scourge - Great Suffering is Now
Certain in n Number of Important Dis.
tricts.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.I
LONDON, August 30.-The prospect for
the peasantry in the districts affected BY the
potato blight in Ireland grows more grim
and dismal as the summer wanes. This
week has been issued report of the Land
Commissioners dealing with the question
up to August 15. The spread of the blight
has been even more general than has been
supposed. 1t only in Down. Tyrone, Tip
perary, Dublin, Queens, County West
meath, and small part of Donegal that the
Commissioners declare that the crop promises
an average yield, and it is remarked that it
is in these counties that potatoes are culti-
waited for sale.
The disease is spreading rapidly and the
prospect is very bad indeed in Glare, West
Glare, East Cork, Macroom, Bandon, Skib-
bereen and Clonskilty. An absolute failure
In poor land is how the commissioners
describe the prospects. In Kerry, we are
told, the crop will be below an average, the
result depending very much on the weather
WHICH, since tnese returns were compiled,
has shown no signs of improvement. On
the sea coast the crop will be much below
the average. In the Leinster counties, Car
low Kilkenny, Kings, Longford and part
of Meath, the crop is below the
average, and the Commissioners re-
port that the wet weather will cause
the disease to spread rapidly and as it has
rained heavily ever since, the prospect is
now of course more serious. In Louth the
crop is very doubtful. Iu Wexford, gener-
ally speaking, growth has ceased and must
result in a crop of small and unmatured
tubers. In the West and southwest of
Wicklow the crop will be much below the
average. Or the Connaught counties in
Galway, in good, we'll farmed land, the
disease is not serious; on poor and badly
farmed land the tops are black and much
spotted and growth appears checked, the
tubers also being affected. OF Mavo the
Commissioners report very much below the
average.
The disease is general throughout. The
distress appears worse along the sea coast,
where potatoes planted in the Jog were much
damaged by early frosts The effect OF the
blight has been almost to DESTROY the crop.
In some cases the stalks are blackened and
withered up, but the tubers are not as yet
affected, except in rare instances, but are
generally very small and immature. Owing
to the blight setting in unusually early, the
tubers in many instances will be absolutely
unfit for human food. In the poorer badly
cultivated districts the crop will be an entire
failure.

Reports of Secret Understanding in the
Guatemala Legislative Assembly.
CITY OF MEXICO, August 80, VIA GAL
vEsToN.-The rumors of peace arrange
ments in Central America are conflicting,
but the general belief is that SeIor Ayala
will not act as President and that when
Guatemala insisted upon return to the
state of affairs existing before the death of
Menendez it was with secret understanding
that the Legislative Assembly existing be-
fore the late Presidents death, and then
faithful to Menendez, but now supporting
Ezeta, should be called to govern the coun-
try until the election of President, and
that choice of President should be ar
ranged before hand. The peace proposal is
favorable to Ezeta, but is worded and ar
ranged so as to hurt nobody's feelings, and
affairs will be as before, with Ezeta as Pres
ident.

The aches and pains she had in almost every
part of her body were simply unbearable. I'M
mediately after eating, her stomach would be
seized with terrible pain and cramps, which
food, and the gas that formed would cause her
stomach to swell as if it would burst. In fact
all kinds of food except milk would cause pain.
She had pain over her eyes, dizziness and
noises in her ears. Her mouth would have a
bitter, disagreeable taste every morning. She
had pain in both sides and across the small
of her back. and in the night if she lay on her
left side she would be seized with the most ex-
cruciating pain, and her heart would palpitate
as If it would jump out OF her body.
Night sweats weakened her fast, and she had
a constant tired feeling but more tired in the
morning than on going to bed. While in
this condition she consulted the above special
lists, whose reputation, for making permanent
cures has long since become thoroughly estab-
lished. She says Of the matter:

lief, but gradually grew worse In fact my
neighbors and even myself thought could

Rope. Twine. Cordnge, Hemp Packing. SO
Water street.
This is the pioneer house in the city in its
line OF business. Established in the twen-
ties by Cornelius Flocker, it was continued
after 1874 by his son, John Flocker, and his
grandsons, Albert and Alexander Flocker.
Their first business location was in East
lane, Allegheny, now Madison avenue;
from whence the works were removed to
East street extension, where they have
since remained. At first all the work was
done BY hand, but 10 years ago the spinners
were displaced by the introduction of i'm
proved machinery, and the growth of the
trade has made this firm the largest, as it is
the Oldest, cordage dealers in Western
Pennsylvania. Two years ago the Water
street salesrooms were opened, and there all
Exposition visitors will be made welcome
and shown the reliable rope, sisil cordage,
tvine and hemp packing, the good qualities
of which have made the firms high reputa-
ton.
