THEIR REVENUES REDUCED.

Cost in Court Cases Must Go to the City
Mayor Gourley Lays Down the Law to
Police Magistrates-An Ends in Har-
mony.
Mayor Gourley had conference with the
five police magistrates yesterday afternoon
with the result that big hole was ripped
in the pockets of each of the police court
judges.
Ever since the new charter went into
effect the police magistrates have retained
costs in all the cases which have gone to court.
They held that they took those cases as Alder
men, and an act of Assembly regulating that
office gave them the right to retain all such
COSTS
The ordinance creating the office of police
magistrate says all such costs be returned to
the city. Mayor GOurley holds that while a
State law does give to the police magistrates
the privilege of keeping the costs in court
cases, the men are appointed and act under the
city ordinance, and therefore must give to the
city the costs in court cases of criminal nature
where the information has been made by po-
lice officer or any city official.
The magistrates all acquesced gracefully to
the Mayors Interpretation of the law, and
hereafter all such costs will find resting place
n the City Treasury. None of the costs tor the
past three months have been paid out by the
County Controller, and will therefore be turned
over to the city.

FOOTBALL THE FAD.
The Brooklyn Game Attracts Many
Admirers From Pittsburg.
A UNIFORM TARIFF DEMANDED.
Col Hulings, of Oil City, Thinks Delamater
Was Badly Abused.
EASTERN PASSENGER MEN IN THE CITY

Pittsburg is essentially college town,
and it can furnish its quota of graduates
with any other city in the country.
The boys have not forgotten the sports on
the campus, and that rough-and-tumble
game of football still has many admirers
here. 1t was hard to tell last evening which
was the greatest attraction, Thanksgiving
to be spent in New York or the football
game to be played in Brooklyn between
Princeton and Yale; but whichever it was,
the eastern trains on the Pennsylvania road
were crowded, and it was necessary to put
three extra sleepers on the 7:15 train to
accommodate all the people.
THANKSGIVING IN NEW YORK.
There were any number of young folks. par
ticularly girls, who were going over to New
York to eat their Thanksgiving dinner, incl
dentally to see the game, you know, and then
do some shopping before returning home, but
SO far as that goes Pittsburg merchants are
well supplied with all sorts of Christmas gifts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rafferty, were on the train, and
they intend to make a social visit in the East
Charles Robinson, eX-member of the Legisla a.
ture from Allegheny. seemed to be the leader
of the football contingent. "Hello. old man,
going over to see the gamer was the cry
heard on all sides as the young fellows with
light grips and top overcoatS commenced to ap-
pear. There were men from Princeton and
Yale. and the partsans of course, stood by
their respective clubs II Think" said Yale
admirer, 'our boys lost the game with Harvard
to turn the tide of betting, and pull in the
Harvard lambs on the home stretch. But there
is no use talking fellows, our club is weak this
year. Some of the best rushers were hurt
early in the season. and others are SICK"

In the crowd who have gone and will go are
John Moorhead, ]. c. Shoemaker, w. r.

Chairman Abbott. of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.,
was on the train, but he was bound for W ash
ington on private business. When asked if it
was not to confer with Secretary Tracy about
the tests to be made with the new nickel armor,
he denied it. The afternoon reports from
Washington stated that the Bethlehem Iron
Works and Carnegie, Phipps & Co. would
make the plates for the Government. Mr..
Abbott said he didn't know anything about it.
But the football cranks took possession of
the depot "Ah, my boy" remarked promi-
Eent local admirer of the game, "baseb ball is
not in il. 1t is too tame. Why, yell like an
Indian when see the fellows struggling on the
field, and l never could do that over a home

much interested i'll the outcome, and some

OVER THEIR TRACES.
Painters Are Kicking Against Making
a Fight for Eight Hours
WITHOUT AID FROM OTHER TRADES
Two-Thirds of the Pudding Furnaces Will
Go Back to Coal.
A GR0CERS DRIVERS OUT ON STRIKE

The movement in favor OF the eight-hour
system next spring will not be brought
about in the manner at first outlined by the
Building Trades Council.
Some time ago the painters and deco
rators were selected as the ones to make the
demand first, with the understanding that
if they were successful all of the other
trades would follow. Now that the painters
have nearly all voted in favor of the propo-
sition, they are beginning to kick over the
traces, and do not want to proceed unless
all the other trades agree to combine and aid in
having the demands granted.
1t is argued in this way: If the painters
make the move and win, all the other organ
izations win without making the effort; but If
they lose. theirs is the only organization that
suffers from the defeat. The painters do not
feel disposed to make the fight for any but
themselves, and it is said will reconsider their
vote on the matter unless they can be sup
ported by the other trades. At the next meet
ing of the Building Trades Council the matter
the eight-hour question before each trade
separately will probably be considered.
An effort was made to see some of the Building
Trades agents yesterday but the headquarters,
on Smithfield street, were locked up all day
and evening, and none of the men we're to be
found. The matter was the general talk, how
ever, among laDOr leaders last nJgnt. One Of
flcial said: ut is very cersain the painters will
not allow themselves to be singled out to make
a fight for some one else, and they are wise.
To make that move properly, all ought to COM
bine."
1t is supposed the Building Trades expected
to assist the painters. and that the latter were
simply to appear as the only organization de-
mandlng shorter DAYS in order to deceive the
contractors. but they tumbed to the scheme
soon enough to save their own reputation in
case the movement is defeated.
A call was made at the Office of the Builders
Exchange for the purpose of learning how the
contractors regard the latest movement. Ex-
change Clerk McAfee said he had not heard of
it, but continued: Il never could see how it IS
going to be a benefit to have the eight-houl
day adopted. Suppose the men win and they
receive ten-hours' pay for eight hours work.
the difference would just be added to the cost
Of the buildings and the proprietors would be
the losers 1t Will not make any difference to
the contractors. 1 know of no very large
building erected in this city during the past
year on which the contractors were not COM
PEELED to change their estimates two or three
times IN order to reduce the cost to what the
owner wanted to expend. This was owing to
an increased cost of material and labor for
which the owner is always made to pay and not

THE EOLIAN ECHO STOP.
Wonderful New Effects.

One of the most enhancing musical effects
ever produced is brought out by the new
third pedal OF the opera pianos. 1t is called
the Eolian Echo, and Its use enables the
performer to bring forth the most delicate
and fairy-like effects. Its soothing influence
upon nervous persons and those in delicate
health, who cannot endure the noisy practic-
ing of their children, is truly wonderful,
and, added to this gossamer faintness of tone,
you have the overwhelming grandeur and
brilliancy of sound-all of which has made
the Opera pianos SO immensely popular in
this city and all over the State and country.
These glorious Opera pianos surpass all
others (except the Steinway and Conover),
and their cost is very reasonable. The i'm
mense durability of the Opera enables the
Messrs. Kleber 8 Bro, SOC Wood street, to
fully warrant them for eight long years. A
call at Kleber & Bros, 506 Wood street,
and an examination of those splendid new
three-pedal Opera pianos Is respectfully So
liclted.

A FAREWELL TESTIMONIAL
BY the Handel Musical Association to Prof.
Amos Whiting.

By the Handel Musical Association to Prof.
Amos Whiting.
Prof. Amos Whiting and his interesting and
accomplished daughter Miss Carrie. will be
rendered a reception this evening by the
Handel Musical Association at the residence
of Mrs L. J. Snead on Knoll streeI. The affair
is a complimentary farewell TO the talented
professor, who has for the past year so success
fully handled the baton for the ASSOCIATION that
will this evening regretfully bid him adieu.
Toledo is to be the future home of Prof.
Whiting and his family, Friday evening being
the time decided upon for the departure, which
will insure a choral of immense proportions a
competent leader in the Ohio city, but will
leave very fourishing association in this city
leaderless.
The course 20 be pursued by the Handel As
sociation is not yet decided upon. A disband-
ment of so promising chorus is not to be
contemplated, but whether it will become part
of Carl Retter's great May Festival choral
force. or remain a distinct organization under
the dictatorship of some other musician, is a
matter of speculation. Tonight, however, the
affairs of state will be forgotten, and with good
wishes for mutual prosperity. will the director
and the directed spend the evening.
