Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-13

and this thing Of one feast after another,
and the numerous receptions, would kill
auy man, All, but l like YOU all. Such
hospitality / never saw before, and what
pleased me much to-day was the manner in
which the Sabbath was observed. 1 like to
see this day sanctifed. l couldn't buy even
a cigar There may be an undercurrent OF
vice; it exists in all large cities, know,
but why not keep it in the background as in
Pittsburg. This is frst-class city, aud
am sorry am leaving it, but nust be
going"
What Mr. Chadwick said about the hos
pitality of Pittsburg was universal senti-
ment. "We didn't expect il, Come and
visit me, !" "Much obliged for your great
kindness, % were remarks that were heard on
all sides. Sir William Lewis, of Sheffield,
had been treated so well at the Duquesne
Club that he WAS 10th to leave. "I don't
want to go, he said. Il should like to re-
main awhile longer. You Pittsburgers are
so open-hearted.
WHY PITTSBURG IS LIKE SHEFFIELD.
This city is situated much like Shef-
field, in river valley, just the place for a
manufacturing town. Your mills are
crowded together, but not so close as ours.
/ saw nothing new here, but that doesn't
make auy difference. The question is, can
you turn out a good product? The man
who can do that will make money. 1 have
been here before, but l had no idea Pitts
burg was such bustling city,"
Prot Gilchrist is very iond of music, and
he attended the concert at Carnegie Hall
Saturday night He insisted that many of
the amateurs were professional singers, and
when told they were not, he remarked:
well, they ought to be. 1 see that Pitts
h,,r hnh nd in
not only great iron people, but you cultivate
the finer arts as we'll. l never was so great
" surprised in my life with city. / saw
a number of things mere that simply amazed
NE"
J. Edward Head, an analytical chemist,
said: After the scramble for a room the
first night, and when got settled 1 thought
i wouldn't like Pittsburg, but the people
have treated me so kindly that / am very
much pleased, indeed. 1 think you are a
little behind us in rolling iron, bur the out
put of your furnaces is something wonder
ful. America in this particular is away
ahead of England. The Lake Superior ores
here are much richer than our own. Pitts
burg is a great iron center, and l will
always have pleasant recollections of the
place.
IMPROVED BY NATURAL GAS.
Bell, had visited Pittsburg before, but they
could see marked Improvements since the
introduction of natural gas. Sir LOwthian
said his eyes had been opened. One En-
glishman raved over his visit to the coke re-
gions, and others were surprised with the oil
and gas fields.
Mr.. Phillips, OF London, had never been
in America, and as he discussed the coun-
try with several friends he said: "These
Americans are a pretty sharp set, and a
man must be well posted to travel in :he
States. The oil and gas fields are wonder
full"
He was interrupted at this point BY his
companion who claimed the gas would not
hold out.
well, 1 don't know about that" an
swered Mr.. Phillips. 'These Pittsburgers
have been using it for a good while, and
they seem to have a sufficient quantity left.
1 saw a good deal OF improved machinery
in this city. Do YOU know the manutac-
turers are in a peculiar position to-day. |
Their positions are not secure. A man |
can't tell when some new plan will be in |
vented that will revolutionize his busI- |
ness"
DUTY on TIN NOT TOO HIGH.
E. c. Martin, of Swansea, and Mr.. Farm
worth, of W o!Yerhampton, were pleased /
with Pittsburg, but they were more inter-
ested in tin plate, being tin plate workers. |
The American tariff will not affect u.s."
said Mr.. Martin. I'VE can still compete |
with you. Mr.. Mckinley didn't make the
duty high enough"
The fact is, that when the foreign visitors |
settled down in the cars yesterday afternoon, |
they one aud all were grateful to Pittsburg |
people for the kind treatment received. |
Even those who slept in the westinghouse
lodging house." as they called it, forgave
