The worshipers of south side church,
in this city, whose pastor is now in the
midst of series of revival meetings, think
they have good joke on their pastor. In
his sermon the other evening, the preacher
was earnestly calculating the mysteries
and workings Of Providence, asserting
that it was not possible for weak humanity
to understand these things, neither is it
necessary for us to know all things in
order to believe the works of God. 10
illustrate, he undertook to say, "How is it
that we may put horses and cattle, sheep
and hogs, and geese into the same pasture
field, and the same grass produces wool on
the sheep, feathers on the geese, bristles on
the hogs, and hair on the cattle and horses
and we cannot understand how it is done,
vet we welieve it is done;" but in his earn
estness and enthusiasm the parson got
things just little mixed, and put the
feathers on the sheep, the wool on the
geese and the bristles of the horses and
cattle. OF course this innocent ''slip of
the tongue" excited the visibility of some
in the audience, but fortunately the young
folks in the church did not catch on and
the pastor himself did not discover his
mistake until some of his friends went to
him at the close of the service and Joined
with him in hearty laugh over the mat
ter. 1t is even suggested that II he had
carried the illustration little further he
would have made kicker out OF goose
and Horner out of the pastor. After all,
the people saw the point more forcibly
than if the mistake had not been made,
everybody was Happy, and the meetings
have seemed to thrive over the joke.

THIRD FLOOR FOR AN ARMORY.
Talk About Some of the City Building Space
Being Placed for an Income.

Some of the councilmen have been intro
duced to scheme which they think may
assist in decreasing the taxes in response
toIthe city building. The Light Infantry
is looking for an armory and have been for
some months with apparently lit
tie success. The company can get from
the state $500 for armory rent and the boys
are willing to add $500 more according to
Capt W. L Osborne, making 5000 rent an
nually which would be equivalent to an
investment of $4,000 at four per cent.
This amount of 5000 it is proposed to offer
for the third floor of the city building and
enter with contract to give that amount
for five years.
According to the plans so far the school
board alone has quarters on that floor and
the other rooms provided for arranged for
all round purposes and may not be needed
for five or ten years. 1t IS thought that
the change could be made costing no more
and in fact the doing away of the walls for
posts would decrease the cost of the build
ing.
In the consideration of the matter a
councilman said yesterday that he had no
doubt that if some of the room in the city
building could be rented so as to bring In
some money the tax payers, In his
Judgment would not object. They could
see reduction of taxes and never finch.
| That sort of thing was not productive OF
| finching. 1t was the increasing of taxes
constantly and by jerks that caused the
| finching. This income, in his judgment,
would be looked upon very favorably, but
how to bring 1t about the question. There
were always objections 70 changing
plans. People were suspicious that
changes meant jobs and jobs meant
Doodle, and as rule that was something
near the facts. To make a change after
contract had been signed up as a rule eX-
pensive for contractor always hopes to
make money on changes, and he had 1t IN
| his power to either make money or not
make the change. Should anything OF
the kind be agreed upon it should be
agitated very soon; even before the con-
tract signed with Rogers, who was award
ed the job He supposed the matter might
come up at the meeting of the council to-
| morrow night, but had not reached con-
| clusion as to what was the best thing to dc
| and supposed the council would face the
question and consider it carefully. He
| thought there would be no difficulty in
getting room for every branch of the city
government and all kindred offices in the
building without using any part of the
third floor. In his Judgment it was not 6
question of lack of room, but whether 6
change" to bring in $1,000 in five years
Just enough to pay the mayor in the alb
sence of an increase would be considered
business. He thought that private indi
vidual would try to make arrangement fol
the $1,000, but it could be handled les;
adroitly by the city council.

Mr.. J. a. Smith. trainmaster of the

city Yesterday and told some interesting
stories about Mr.. NJ. r. Mosher, a farmer
living near that town and who is well
known in Wichita. He says the farmer
estimates his crop of grapes next year will
make "A, 600, 600 gallons of wine; that while
making the statement he holds an earnest
face and looks Just like he thought he
would probably make little more than
that, so he did not want TO overestlmate
for fear he might be considered on the ex-
ageration style.

MOST ENCOURAGING.
The Immigration Society Suggestion Taken u
by Nearly Nine-Tenths OF the Counties
OF the State.

The local committee having the immi-
grafton meeting question In hand is great
ly encouraged over the prospects for rous-
ing success. The secretary has heard from
about ninety counties of the state where
delegates have been selected to be present
and join in tie business of the meeting
Most of the counties have held public
meetings and selected delegates in that
way, and some of the counties will be rep
resented by delegates selected by the coun-
ty commissioners. The counties not TAX
ing an interest are located IN the north
part Of the state. mostly northeast. Inc
southwest and southeast counties come up
smiling with delegations and the letters
show deep and lasting interest in the
question.
A member of the committee said yester-
day that the object of the meeting seemed
to be well understood and nothing could
have been suggested that would have
spread SO rapidly and touched so popular
cord as the immigration question. lie
had not at first anticipated such bright
prospects but had always thought
that it would not fail to
call out considerable intereet and
probably fair attendance at the organiza-
ton meeting. One thing encouraging YVES
the prompt interest taken by the larger
| and more important counties. All the
larger towns and cities would be cleverly
represented and some of them would be
found on hand tomorrow with large dele
| cations.
The meeting will probably last two days
closing on Tuesday evening. As to wha
plan will be adopted for the business n'
one has any idea or scarcely suggestions
1t is proposed to get together and COME
with each other, get an understanding a
to what is needed and then try and wori
up some plan for accomplishing the worl
desired. There seems no doubt everythin:
will be perfectly harmonious and no chanc
in fact for anything else.

UP THE ALLEGHENY.
AToUR OF INSPECTION OF PENN AVENUE
MILLS.

Watching the Manufacture of Iron and
Steel by the Latest tProcesses-Surprised
at the Employment of Colored LaboTing
Men-A Special Test.
At o'clock party of about IA boarded a
Penn avenue car and journeyed out to view
some of the plants along the river. Among
them were James Plat, of the Atlas Works,
Gloucester, Eng; J. F. Hall, of Norbury,
Sheffield, Eng; George SiddelI, Pitsmoor.
Sheffield. Eng; R. A. Hadfield. of the steel
works of the name at Sheffield and Alexander
Jack, general manager of the same works.
The first stop was made at Mcintosh d Hemp
hills big foundry and machine works. Mr..
James Hemphill conducted the visitors through
the establishment, and subsequently accom-
panied them over the other plants.
From the foundry the party went on to Park
Bros. Steel Works. where they were shown
through portion of the works. They next
visited the Carbon iron Works and shown over
the entire establishment by Superintendent
Losh and Mr.. Matthew Graf, the latter gentle
man explaining the different processes as they
went along. Some of the party evinced great
interest in the methods of manufacture and
piled the officials and work men with questions.
They seemed to be struck by the number of
colored men at work here. Their next call was
to the Pittsburg Reduction Works. Very
much interest was shown in the
method of reducing the aluminium
from the ore by the electrical process.
One of the tubs being ready, several ingots were
cast from it for the benefit of the visitors.
From this a visit was made across the road to
the Adams direct process plant on Park Bros
ground. The Messrs. Blair made extensive ex-
plantations regarding the process, which we're
and Mr.. Hadfield, of Sheffield, were desirous
of learning all there was to be told about il. At
this time the sight seeing terminated, and bid
ding goodby to Mr.. Hemphil and the Messrs.
Blair, the visitors returned home.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-10

partly because the visitors were tired and
partly because some of the establishments on
the programme are common affairs in England
and Germany. There were not over twenty
visitors in the party. They were escorted from
the Exposition at o'clock by Mr.. D. B.
Oliver. director of the Oliver & Roberts wire
mill, at the foot of South Ninth street
The visit to this establishment lasted about
20 minutes. The time was spent studying the
manner in which wire is turned out at the rate
of 2S0,0 pounds day. and it was the source
of much interest to the British manufacturers.
A short call was then made at the Oliver Iron
and Steel Company's South Twelfth street
mill, where the Clapp-Grifith process of max
ing steel is operated. Each member of the
party "took notes. on the explanations made
by Mr.. Oliver, who did not have much diff
Guilty in entertaining the gentlemen.
The party was then driven to the American
Iron Works. The visitors were disappointed at
not meeting Mr.. b. +. Jones, but he was un-
avoidably prevented from being present to well
come them. They were shown through the
establishment by Roland Gerry, of the firm,
and Edward Matthews, the Assistant Manager.
The latter is native of Bristol England and
was acquainted with one OF two members of
the party. The chief point of interest seemed
to be the steel department, and especially that
part of it where steel rods are rolled and pol
ished by machinery at the same time. The
party returned to the city shortly before 8
o'clock. ~
