THE WORKING GIRLS CLUB.
SouthsIde Will Send Delegates to tho New
York Convention.

York Convention.
The Progressive Club, composed OF work.
ing girls OF the Southside, will meet tonight
and elect two delegates, in the persons Of
Miss Haller and Mrs. r. 81. Jones, to at
tend the first convention of the Associations
of Working Girls Societies In the Metro
politan Opera House. New York. April Is,
16 and IL. There has been no definite pro-
gramme arranged as yet for the convention,
but the business will include a permanent
organization of national association, and
general arrangement of things SO that the
various clubs which have recently been Or
ganized in all of the larger cities, will have
a uniform system of proceeding with the
work of their clubs
The objects of these clubs have been fully
explained in The DISPATCH, and they
have met with such universal approval that
four clubs have been organized in Allie
gheny county-two in Allegheny and two
in Pittsburg. 1t is the purpose to enlist all
girls, who, by reason of being compelled to
earn their own livelihood, and in many
cases support widowed mother besides, in
the work. The evenings OF the week will
be divided. Night school will be held one
evening and dress cutting and fitting will
occupy a second, and so on, something of a
permanent value during the whole week.
1t is likely that the most of the time at
the New York convention will be consumed
by addresses by prominent members of the
association in the East. who will outline the
work it is proposed to take up.
The Southside club has moved, or will
move to-day, into their new quarters at 1104
Carson street, where rooms will be fitted up
and occupied for the purposes of the club.

SHE HAD SOME TROUBLE.

Mrs. WeItzel, the Missing Woman, Brooded
Over some Household Cnrc-Nothing
Learned as TO Her Wherenbeuts-Her
Letter Sheds No Light.
The disappearance of Mrs. Kate Weitzel
from her home in Allentown Saturday after
noon, an account of which was published ex-
clusivelv in Yesterdays DISPATCH, is still
a complementary.
The story of her going away, as told by
her father, Mr.. A. Binder, member of Select
Council from the Thirty-frst ward, and
other members of his family, Is that on Satur-
day afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock,
Mrs. Weitzel came to the rear door of
her fathers store, at the corner of
Maple street and McLain avenue. and, call
ing one of her little brothers, asked him to
60 and stay with her little boy. There
were q great many persons in the store at
the time and no further attention was paid
than ior them to look TO see who had called.
From that moment she appears to have
dropped out of sight. Mr.. Binder, the
the father, said last night that the letter
she left behind did not furnish sufficient
evidence of a controlling motive to satisfy
him. Mr.. Weitzel said, as does the miss
ing woman's letter, that for the last ten
weeks she had been brooding over some
trouble, real or imaginary. He was
formerly inclined to think that her morose-
ness was due to a depression that seemed to
have seized her after the birth of her last
baby. Until that time she had always been
cheerful, lively dispositioned woman,
which suddenly changed.
Always during those weeks when he
came home from work he found her moody
and silent. When urged to tell him the
reason for her brooding she would make
some cheerful reply that concluded further
questioning, although there were times
when she spoke voluntarily of some trouble
that was killing her.
On Saturday morning when Mr.. Weitzel
left home for work his wife cheerfully bade
him goodby.
The matter was reported to the police by
Councilman Binder, who, with his son-in-
law, has looked every place where they sup
posed she would be likely to 60.

WHERE AMERICANS GET LEFT.
The Finest Cigars of Cuba Go to Bismnrcl
md Other Great E uropeuns.

The Finest Cigars of Cuba Go to Bismarck
md Other Great e uropenn..
"It may be surprising to an American"
said recent visitor to Cuba to the st. Louis
Republics "Man About Town" the other
day, "but the best Havana cigars do not
come to the United States, but go to Ger
many and England. The United States
millionaires may think they arc smoking
the best cigars Cuba can produce, but they
are not. In one factory visited saw the
cigars made for Prince Bismarck, the late
German Chancellor. They were large and
black looking, but were of the finest tobacco
grown in the State, and cost 25 cents each in
Cuba and also saw the cigars made for the
Prince of Wales and various other English
noblemen.
Foreigners of wealth have their cigars
made to order and named to suit them. 1
do not know of one rich American who does
so. Our Government has peculiar law re-
garding importations, which prevented our
bringing up some good cigars other than
what could carry in my hand. This is that
not less than 3, 900 cigars can be imported.
If it were not for this law everyone who
wanted cigars could just write down to Cuba
and tell his cigar man to send him hun
dred or two by mail. And then the import
ers would have to give up business. Ma
poleon III. used to get the pick of the finest
leaf in the Vuelta Absjo district, just as he
had the call on the select grapes of the
French vineyards for his champagnes."

AN UNKNOWN MAN HURT.

His Name Supposed to be A. NJ. Brown, of
sharpsburg-He Fell From n Moving
Train-A Child Takes n Dose of Iodine
By Mistake.
An unknown man was taken to the ALLIE
gheny Hospital in an unconscious condi-
tion. He was picked up at Sharpsburg by
Pittsburg and Western employees, who say
that be was seeing friend off, and in at
tempting to jump from the train was thrown
against pier of the Sharpsburg bridge.
The doctors examined him carefully, but
he bears no external marks OF any kind.
The physicians think he was struck below
the base of the brain.
The man is apparently about 80 years of
age, with light moustache and hair and blue
eyes and has the appearance of being Ger
man. He was dressed in a complete dark
suit, soft felt hat and wore boots. The
collar of his linen shirt is marked ga. NJ.
Brown" which is probably his name, but
nobody in Sharpsburg knew anybody of
that name. In all probability the man will
die before morning.
On Saturday last a 2-year-old child of
Mrs. Meyer, living at 261 East street, Allie
gheny, secured a bottle of tincture of iodine,
and unknown to its mother drank about two
teaspoonsful of it. The little thing began
to cry at once, and the partly filled bottle
being discovered near it, the nature of the
act was at once surmised by its mother.
She took the child to DR.. Elterich, who ap-
piled the proper restoratives, and relief was
afforded at once. The child's mouth and
throat were pretty badly burned, but be-
yond being made very sick, no other injury
was done.

A CHAPTER OF FUNERALS.
The Southside Has More Thnp Dozen ON
Easter Afternoon.

The Southside Has More Thnn a Dozen on
Enstcr Afternoen.
The undertakers of the Southside were
never so busy in one day as they were
yesterday. No less than Is funerals took
place in the afternoon. Some of the undertak-
ers had two or three. Several of the deceased
were prominent residents of that side of the
river. The largest funeral was that of
Adam Grabenstein, who died on Friday at
his home on Mt. Oliver. Mr.. Grabenstein
was formerly teacher in the Birmingham
Turn Verein. and was prominent member
of several other orders. Representatives
from the Mt Oliver and Ladder Com
pany, Schiller Lodge, A. o. U. W., Olive
Lodge, 1. o. o. F., the Birmingham Turn
Verein and the Allegheny Gymnastic Club,
attended the funeral. Interment was made
in the Troy Hill cemetery; Allegheny.
The funeral of Mrs. Maggie A. Du Shane
took place ffena the Carson Street M E.
Church. The deceased was an active mem
Der of the Daughters OF Liberty, in which
she held a commission as National Deputy,
an honor never be ore conferred upon a
female member Of the order. Councils from
Allegheny, West End, Mt. Washington,
Homestead and Lawrenceville, together with
y nifty OOuncll NO. IL, OF Wnlcn MIS-.
Du Shane was a member, attended the
funeral in body. The council had charge
of the funeral and the services were per-
formed at the church.
Jerry Finch, a prominent member of
Smoky City Council No. l19, Jr. o. U. A.
NJ, was buried in the Southside Cemetery
by his council.
Lieutenant Geary Post had charge of the
funeral of David Denkel, one of their men,
bers, who lived on South Tenth street.
Among the other funerals which took
place, were those OF Mrs. Mary Haupt,
mother of Herman Haupt and Mrs. Laura
Greevcs, of the head of South Twenty
seventh street. The majority of the re-
mainder were children ranging in age from
one to five years. .....
1t was a secret society day in sense.
Nearly all of the grown persons had heen
members of some order and these turned out
in large numbers to lay away the remains of
their departed members. The Daughters of
Liberty created quite an impression owing
probably to the membership being composed
almost entirely Of women, who proved their
loyalty to their deceased fellow member, by
marching eighteen squares in the hot sun
over rough streets.

MUSIC In THE AIR.

The Original Royals VIII sue Persons Using
Their Name-They Are Billed for Three
Dances This Evenins-How Mistakes
Are Made.
The members OF the Original Royal Ital-
ian Orchestra are considering the advisable
ity of prosecuting clubs and organizations
which use the name of the orchestra when
the latter has not been engaged to play for
them. The dancing season reopens this
evening, and the orchestra is billed to play
at three different receptions. 1t has an en-
gagement to play for the members of the
Monongahela Club, at Salisbury Hall, on
the Southside, and is also announced to be
at the Union Rink, in! Allegheny, and at Or
pheus Hall, in the East End. At the latter
place the Carroll Club will give reception.
but the Original Royal Orchestra will not
furnish the music.
For some time past it has been practice
among certain socials organized to give
ing money, to hire a cheap band and put
the "Original Royals" on their invitations.
The orchestra is composed of trained Italian
musicians, who make speciality of dance
music. A great many young men about
town follow the band to balls, and prefer to
60 where it will play. AS result. they
are disappointed when they 20 to a recep-
tion and find an inferior orchestra there.
In speaking OF the matter last night
Colonel McMichael, prompter of the Or
chestra, said: 1--WE will make it warm for
the persons who use our name for the purpose
of attracting class of dancers who are not
particular at which ball they put in the
evening. I was told that the Carroll Club
put our name on the invitations through
mistake, but these mistakes have occurred
too often. The Creston Club also made
mistake when it put our name down on its
cards. On Tuesday evening we will play
on Duquesne Heights, and are also billed to
play in the Lawrenceville Rink. We will
find some way of stopping the business, and
a number of well-known young men about
the town will come to grief. We are a
chartered corporation and intend to keep
our name. If we cannot do it in any other
way we will prosecute them"

THE PRICE OF ICE
Quite Likely to Embarrass Many
Butchers in This Vicinity.
THE COOLING MATERIAL so DEAR
And So Hard to Get That Many Nay Have
to Stop Selling Meat.
TIE ABATTOIR COMING IN HANDY

One of the questions that are agitating the
butchers of Pittsburg and Allegheny is how
to secure ice for the coming hot months. 1t
is now certain that the cost of ice the coming
summer will be nearly three times as great
as last season. Last summer the price was
II cents per 100 pounds in large quantities.
and now dealers refuse contracts at 40 cents
per 100 pounds.
A leading Diamond market butcher said
yesterday: my ice bill at my stall and
slaughter house last season amounted to
over $50 per month, and now cannot get
any dealer to furnish me ice at double that
figure. A few butchers managed to get a
small quantity of their ice from ponds,
and some have made contracts with the
Chautauqua Company, but the majority
are at sea so far as future ice
supplies are concerned. The butchers who
do a light business are the worst off in this
emergency, and cannot see how they can
pay the big prices for ice which are sure to
prevail this season and come cut even. AT
present prices of ice large proportion
would lose money in warm weather, as the
cost of preserving their meat would far more
than eat up profits.
NO ICE AT ANY PRICE.
'oThe dealer who has furnished me ice for
q number of seasons has thrown up the
sponge, and says he cannot agree to furnish
ice at any figures. The Chautauqua COM
pany will only provide for its regular Gus
toners, and this at big advance over
former seasons. In my opinion, butchers
will be forced to pay so to 80 cents per hum
dred for their ice the coming summer, and
this they cannot afford to do"
1t is an ill wind that blows no one any
good. 1t seems that one firm in this city
bids fair to reap handsome profits from the
present ice famine. At the Hers Island
abattoir of Winter & Dellenbach, is freez-
ing machine, completed last May, which
has capacity of freezing 1000 head of cat
tie week. The outlay for this machine
was considered enormous at the time OF its
purchase, being upward of $4,000, but the
present outlook is that the money will come
back this season, with good interest. When
the abattoir was first opened, cattle were
there slaughtered for the butchers at 81 per
head, or 81 so if delivered to the customer.
After few months the proprietors of the
abat DIR found they had all they could do
to kill for themselves, and OF late have
abandoned the idea of killing for other
butchers. There is now a strong pressure
on the firm to start out again on the origi-
nal plan. A member of the abattoir firm
was interviewed on the subject yesterday,
and said:
CHEAPER THAN KILLING.
81 believe that butchers can buy their
meat from us cheaper than they can kill,
especially such as have small trade. EI-
penses have very much increased in the
past few years. Property is high, labor is
more expensive than 1t used to be, and, in

A PLEASANT PROSPECT.
How PIusburg Hunting md Fishing Clubs
Take TO the lakes

How Pittsburg HunttnR md Fishing Clubs
Take TO the Lakes.
F. E. Randall, General Eastern Agent of
the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Com
pany. arrived in the city yesterday. Mr.
Randall said be was not a weather prognos-
ticator, but he believed it would be hot
summer, and the hotter it is the better it
will be for the excursion business.
Mr.. Randall said, however. that Pitts
burgers pay no attention to the heat or cold,
and the numerous hunting and fishing clubs
will have their annual outings anyhow.
During the summer the ST. Clair river is
lined with camping parties from Pittsburg,
and it has gotten to be such a common sight
that the people in that territory have dubbed
it New Pittsburg.
The Argonaut Club has bought property
on the Indian river, and the members pro-
pose to build cottages this spring for their
own pleasure. The leading spirits in the
club are Messrs. Gasbelle, the real estate
agent, and Laird, the shoe man. Mr.. Ran
dali thinks the prospects for the summer
excursion business are brighter than they
were at this time last year.
Six years ago Mr.. Randall said the clubs
cEmped along the two rivers, and few of
them went over on the lakes. Some now 60
to Erie, others into the wilds Of Canada,
and many seek the Mackinac Islands and
points in the Upper Lakes.
