"A SERIOUS MISTAKE"

The Memphis Daily Commercial
says: "The Republicans Of Gibson
county have taken on the guise Of
temperance and put out full ticket,
in the name of the Prohibitionists.
A serious mistake has been made. "
All stuff! Insinuating that the
Gibson county Prohibition move
ment is a Republican trick, when
the majority Of those Prohibitionists
are ex-Democrats who left Democra-
cy because it is sold, body and soul
to the saloon in politics. They
know that to attempt to get State
and National Prohibition through
the Democratic Party, you had as
we'll undertake to reach heaven
through hell.-Nashville Issue.
When Doctors disagree there is
trouble on hands. Armisted of the
Issue is an old Democrat himself
and stood steadfast by the whisky
democracy until he saw that terrible
place staring him full in the face,
that closes the sentence of his arti.
cle-"Hell." Some times demo.
Gratis do get scared at that word and
repent. The TIMES wishes they
would all get scared, like Armstead
did and leave the whisky party, and
join the prohibitionists. as the,
swear they will never join the repub
licans.

Best Thing He Ever Saw,

Best Thing He Ever Saw,
The following is an extract from
a letter written by Mr.. d. A. Rey-
nolds, editor and proprietor of the
Herald, Lyons, Mich, under date
of January 18th, 1890: "You will OBJ
serve that l have given your adver-
tisement position on the first page
of the Herald, while other proprie-
tary medicines have had to take
the run of the paper. The reason
for this is, that upon receiving
your "copy" a number of the cures
effected seemed similar to that of
which my little son was suffering,
a case of blood poison, or irritable
sores breaking out all over his body,
To-day he is entirely free from di.
sease, and one bottle of Swift's Spe.
cific S.S.S. did the work. Now this
is the reason for giving you the po-
sition, as consider Swift's Specific
S.S.S. the best medicine ever saw
I wish you unlimited success in
your business"
The above is q sample of letters
which are coming to US all the
time. S.S.S. is nearer iufallible

probably done more good than any

The report comes through the
Knoxville papers that the Knox

A man in Iowa pays 1925 tax,
and out Of this amount 1915 is for

complaining about the large surplus

sure he is a democrat, Of the old

give Iowa to his class of thinkers.

CoNFERRING ON REVISION.
The Presbyterian Committee on the Vexed
Question In Session Here To-day.

The Pre.byfcriau Committee on the Vexed
Question In Session Here To-day.
The committee appointed two years ago
by the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church to report on the constitutional
methods of revision of the con fession of
faith, will meet to-day at the Hotel Ander-
son. This committee consist of e1-Justic
Strong. of the United States Supreme Court;
Rev. Dr.. w. II. Roberts, of Gin
cinnati; Judge Wilson, OF Philadelphia;
Rev. DR.. Leftwich, OF Baltimore, and
Rev. D. E. Kempshaw, of Elizabeth, N.
j. Rev. DR.. Kempshaw arrived last even
ing, and put up at the Anderson. He
declined to express any opinion as to the
outcome OF the conference, or to say any
thing as to the merits of the controversy
concerning revision. He said, beyond this,
that no member of the committee would
give any opinion concerning these topics.
The work of the committee is, to large
extent, perfunctory. 1t is not to consider
the issue of revision or non-revision in any
manner. They are simply to work upon
the line of the manner in which revision
may be accomplished, if it is desired. They
are to prepare, for the use and guidance of
the General Assembly, which will meet in
Saratoga on May Is, set of rules for action
in the discussion and revision of the confess
sion,

WAITING FOR A DROP.
The Novel Method of Attempting to
Commit Suicide Adopted
BY AN ENGRAvER OUT OF WORK.
Loafng Around q Church Corner for the
Tower to Tumble on Him.
THE PLAN SPOILED By A POLICEMAN

A new method of committing suicide has
been invented by a Pittsburger. 1t is a
distinctly original, if decidedly tedious
way in which to quit this earthly sphere,
and may be recommended to intending sui
cides who abhor the brutalizing influences
of razors and pistol bullets. The following
is the account of the new mode as attempted
yesterday by J. Harry Elkins, on one of
the city's chief efthoroughfares.
AS DISPATCH reporter was passing
along Smith6eld street yesterday his atten-
tion was called by a policeman to a man
standing under the. scaffolding around the
United Evangelical Protestant Church, at
the Sixth avenue corner. Over the mans
head was the warning to passengers that the
church was in dangerous condition, but
the man stood quite unconcernedly MUNICH
ing a large sandwich.
"Do you see that obstinate fellow" asked
the off Ger. "Well, sent him away from
that spot twice, and there he is back again.
About noon noticed him there and did not
pay particular attention, but when he was
still there at 1:20 P. NJ. and showed no sign
OF moving began to watch him.
WHY HE STOOD THERE.
"He stood in the same position, leaning
up against the scaffolding until 2 o'clock.
Then / went up TO him and told him he was
obstructing the traffic. He objected to move
on, and said: Officer, respect the last
wishes of poor fellow who has decided to
end his life.' 1 questioned MIN, and he told
me that his name was j. Harry Elkins. He
had come to Pittsburg in January from Chi
cago, but failing to get work as an en-
graver had determined to DO away with
himself L didn't want any of the old ways
of suiciding, so I racked my brain for a new
plan, said he. Yesterday / saw the danger
notice overhead, and hearing the church was
about to fall, 1 resolved to stand
underneath until it fell on me. 1 have let
lers in my pocket, giving all particulars,
addressed to my sweetheart. Now, officer,
60 away and leave me-"
81 told him he was lunatic and ordered
him to move on. He went, but came back
in ten minutes. Again 1 sent him away,
and now, as you see, he has returned once
more"
The officer then walked to the mans side
and said: Look here, if you don't go away
for good, I'll certainly arrest you."
ONLY ONE WAY LEFT.
The man made a gesture of annoyance,
leave poor fellow alone? You are putting
a lot of trouble on me by sending me away.
must go down to the river and drown my
self. 1t is my last resource"
Before the policeman could stop him the
man had started across the street, and was
striding down Sixth avenue at a tremendous
pace. "Let him CO." said the officer. II
bet he'll wait down on the wharf till the
river comes up to drown him.
Nothing further was heard OF J. Harry
Elkins, nor had any suicide been reported |
from the river up to this morning.

AN ARTISTIC SNEAKTHIEF.

Fine Collection OF Photographs Disappears
From DR.. Barron's ParIors-A Military
Caller Who Didn't waIr Long TO Greet

He picked his way over the muddy Butler
street crossing, and stretching out one
daintily-gloved hand. rang DIR. H. W.

answered his peal be expressed strong
desire to see the Doctor. put that gentleman
was not at home. That was decidedly un-
fortunate; yet, as supper time was at hand,
ne could afford to wait few moments for
MS "old schoolfellow, Barton" He sent
his card upstairs to Mrs. Barton. Its legend
ran thus: Lieutenant Percy Wilkes, As
Md"
Mrs. Barton requested him to rest him self
in her pretty parlors, and there await the
Doctors arrival. Ten minutes passed. and
the naval gentleman began to grow restless.
He summoned the servant, and, declaring
that he could stay no longer, departed. Ac-
cordingly the shining silk hat faultless gar
ments and delightful blonde mustache dis
appeared the way they had come.
In the course of the evening a very curious
THEFT was discovered in DR.. Barton's parlor
All the photographs, of which Mrs. Barton
was quite a collector, had disappeared.
Photos OF friends, photos of actresses,
photos OF notable folk Of every kind all had
been taken, with the most perfect impartial
lty, but nothing else had been removed.
Even the frames of these photos were all left
behind. The robber must have been .
photograph crank.
Who was the robber? As no one else
entered the house during the afternoon it
must have been the Annapolis "Lieuten-
ant" This opinion is strengthened by the
fact that DR.. Barton cannot recall any cold

Percy Wilkes. Here is groundwork for a.
sensational fiction of the Boissobey Gabor-
iau style!

DOWN On THE DOGS.

Rules for Carrying CANNES on Pittsbure
Street Cnrs-sometmes They Can Trn vel
ms Bageage-Ohener They Must Run
Behind the Flying Cable Cars.
The canine population of Pittsburg has
every reason to howl against the street cars.
Not day passes but some luckless cur yelps
forth his spirit beneath some cable car, and
an average of eight dog obituaries is re-
ceived by the police every afternoon. The
electric roads are also down on the dogs, and
the calculated annual canine mortality from
this cause exceeds 5000.
Then, too, there is good deal OF 1egisla-
tion against dog passengers on these cars
The Citizens Traction line refuses to allow
dogs on its moving palaces. If you take a
walk with your favorite poodle, and board
a Citizens car on the way home, the unfor-
tunate pet must amble behind as best he
can.
Some people have no sympathy for poor,
dumb brutes. The Manchester, South
side and West End lines are gra-
ciously pleased to permit dogs on the
front platforms of their cars, provided
the owner thereof pays cents for the privi-
lege. On the Pittsburg Traction Company's
cars reputable ''dogs of size" are allowed
in the smoking compartments, on payment
of cents head.
"What is the limit in size?" was asked of
Traction company conductor.
'Do you think we measure them with
foot-rule?" was the reply. .'The dog
mustn't be st. Bernard. He
mustn't be big enough to incommode
the passengers. Furthermore, he must be
dog of good moral character. Any tendency
to bite or strong indications OF the presence
OF insects are sufficient to prevent a dog
from riding on our line"
The Central Traction Company and the
Pleasant Valley line have no particular
rules about dogs. The conductors on the
latter line treat the occasional dogs they are
asked to carry as baggage, and charge 10
cents for them.
1t has been suggested in street-car circles
to erect special "live stock crib" for dogs,
cats, and even poultry, on the tops of the
cars. If the plan be approved by directors
a miniature geological garden on the roof of
every car may soon be seen. It would be
decidedly more humane to carry the dogs
ON top OF the cars, instead of under them, as
is the present system.

COULDN'T PLEASE THEM ALL.

Those Left Ont by Mayor Wymnn Making
Deep Threats-Mr. stnyton Expected to
Profit by the DisgruntIed Outs-SriIl
SereueIy Confident.
There is q profound howl going up in Al
legheny over the appointments that Mayor
Wymsn did not make yesterday when he
parceIed out the plums in the line of police
officials, etc. One of the hottest men is Will
liam Bader, the genial butcher-politician
Ex-Detective Eichenlaub was the manager
ot Bader's campaign and hustled varicusly
thereupon, and it was not his fault that
William did not make the rifle. Veracious
persons assert that just before the election
when the Wyman side were having hard
shedding 'deal'' was patched up whereby
the Bader men turned in for Wyman. One
OF the considerations of the said deal was
the placing of Mr.. Eichenlaub in snug
berth on the patrol system. Mr.. Bader's
grievance was that while he delivered the
goods, Mr.. Wyman failed to keep the i'm
portant part of the bargain and lett Mr..
Eiehenlaub upon the chilly outside.
Another vigorous kicker is "Billy"
Braun, who sat on the political safety valve
in the Fifth ward, and had his labor for his
pains. There we're scores of scowling
visages around City Hall last night, and the
fellows who got there presented strong con-
trast
There was very lively meeting of Police
Committee, yesterday afternoon, at which
some of the members uttered significant
threats but not a member OF the committee
would say a word for publication.
One of the shrewdest politicians of the
Northside said that the men who expected
to get there and didn't, had discovered a
very neat way of reprisal and were proceed
ing to walk therein. Mr.. Stayton is to be
placed in possession of some information of
great value in the matter of the pending
contest, and if any one can give expert testi-
mony as to Wyman's methods, it is assumed
that his disgruntled ex-lollowers can. Mr..
Stayton was seen upon the subject and
asked number ofquestions, none Of which,
he said, he was ready to answer.
Mr.. Stayton expresses himself extremely
pleased in the person of the commissioner
in the contest. John d. Shafer, Esq, and
says that active operations will soon be COM
menced in the regular form prescribed by
law. He said he now feels certain that |
Mayor Wyman will be unseated and that he |
would be declared the legally elected candi-
date
All the appointees were inducted by the |
Mayor and Chic John Murphy last even
ing, and the Allegheny Central station
never assumed more animated appearance. |
Many of the appointees had no uni orm |
provided, and started out in citizens dress,
70 strike terror into the civilian heart.
