THE DISTRICTS ALL RIGHT.
Reed and His Friends Will Find Tough Nuts
to Crack in Ohio,

to Crack In Ohio.
Mr.. AL. Carlisle arrived in the city last
night from Ohio, and as usual is we'll posted
ON the political situation of that State. Mr..
Carlisle is Democratic TO the core and can
always be depended upon to give out some
solid Democratic doctrine. In answer to a
question regarding the alleged efforts of
Speaker Reed and his cohorts to have the
Ohio Congressional elections held in the old
districts, he said:
"There's no possibility Of such thing
occurring. The law is all right and there
are no technical defects. The district lines
claimed by Reed to be illegal were never
changed from the districting made by the
Republicans. The township referred to is a
part of Cincinnati and was taken into the
city in 1863 The other portion of the town
ship is included in another district. The
Governor looked into the matter and found
it all right and there will be DO call for the
Legislature to reconvene and make any
changes.
''Mr. Reed and his followers will find a
different class of Democrats to deal with
than those he run across in Maine. The
Democrats in Ohio know just as much as
Reed, and he will run against very great
obstacle when he attempts to beat them.
The Democracy of Ohio is unpurchaseable,
and are not to be bought like sheep, as they
were in Reeds district.
"Ohio Democrats were never better Or
ganized than at present. They have men in
the field who are prepared to talk on ma
tional issues, and that is what the people
want. Some of their best men are on the
ticket and they are sure to be elected. You
may depend upon it that very district that
according to the last election showed DEM
ocratic majority will send Democrat to
Congress-"

THAT OLD SILK HAT.
A TRAMP's SUNDAY MORNING SERMON
ON SIXTH AVENUE.

An Emblem of the Downfall of NIan-The
Service Concluded by Taking Up Gel.
lection.
In the mire of Sixth avenue, beneath the
windows of a certain well-known political
and social club, lay dilapidated silk hat.
Once upon time it had been glossy hat,
but now its crown was beaten in, and it lay
at the mercy of harsh world upon those
muddy pavements. The sprucely clad
church-goers glanced disdainfully from be.
meath their irreproachable head-coverings at
the castaway. The occasional street arab
gave the old hat good-humored kick as he
went by, and the wheels of cab and car
spattered it as they ratified along.
Presently the stream of church-folk
ceased Only a few stragglers hurried by
with hymn books and umbrellas. An
organ began to peal from two neighboring
temples of worship, and the notes OF
sacred chant arose. Just then there strolled
along the sidewalk tall, gaunt individual.
He was out at the elbows, and generally seedy
10 look upon; yet spite of unshaven jaws,
and nose suggestive OF over-indulgence in
LIQUOR, there vas a certain air OF dignity
about the man. He carried a ragged
umbrella, which he swung to and fro
as he walked. Suddenly the newcomers
bloodshot eyes caught sight of the old hat in
the roadway, and with a smile the man
stopped short. First he looked up at the
loungers in the club windows, then at the
battered hat, which ne raised on the point
of his umbrella. A party of young fellows
chanced to be passing, and some of the men,
bers were descending the club steps.
Seeing that he had an audience the
brokeu-down man waved the hat in the air
and began a sermon-and such a sermonl
"Look at this outcast hat, my brethren, he
exclaimed, land draw moral from its de-
graduation. 1t has been thrown from the
windows of yonder club; perhaps it was
the hat of a Senator: perhaps it
glistened in the halls of the Capitol.
AT any rate, it was once tne silk hat.
Look at it now. brethren; kicked about,
dirt-bespattered, robbed of its splendor, it
must lie in the cutters till the street.
sweeper brushes it-who can say whittier.
"Now take your eyes away from the old
hat-and remark the political bigwigs who
are smoking in those rooms overhead. They
are all glossy hats, but some day or other
they may be kicked into the mud, just like
this hat. There have been such falls be-
fore, brethren, and such there will be again.
But l see a minion of the law approach
ing; 1 must cease my little sermon, trusting
that when 1 pass around this hat, which
serves at once as text and collection box, you
will act generously to dinnerless preach
er"
The old hat was passed around among the
politicians and the rest of the motley con-
gregation, which had largely increased.
Quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies were
thrown into the ragged receptacle, and one
bright dollar glittered amid the little col
lection. Then, as a policeman Joined the
crowd, the preacher emptied the funds into
his pockets, threw the hat once more into
the mud and hurriedly departed.

A CLEVER FRESHMAN.

How Larry O'Leary Entertains His Guests
in the Yellowstone Park-He Regnles
His Guests With Good Food md Witty
Anecdotes-A Notable Register.
Larry O'Leary is a good-natured Irish
man who runs an eating station in the Vel
lowstone Park for the monopoly that con-
trolls the hotel and transportation privi-
leges. His headquarters are at Trout
Run, at the foot of St. Mary's
Mountain, and his little canvass
tents in the valley are most welcome sight
to the weary, dusty Pittsburger after the
long, rough ride across the steep and hilly
country. As the stages round the curve at
the top of the hill, Larry and his faithful
spouse can always be seen standing with
arms akimbo in the door of the tent, and in
musical tones bidding everyone hearty
welcome.
"And how is the Madam? Oh, beg
pardon, Miss, I mean" and the Governor,
and the Colonel or Professor, as his fancy
may address itself to the strangers before
him, is his customary salutation, and then
he begins to amuse his guests with short
stories and a variety of witty remarks.
Even the old maid who has grumbled about
the mosquitoes and dust all along the road,
suddenly wreathes her face with smile,
and the dapper New Yorker is surprised to
find such clever Irishman living in an
open wilderness.
Larry;sets a good table and never gives
his guests time to think of the disagreeable
features of the ride, for they are many on
hot summer day. and every man who visits
Larry's pleasant quarters comes away feel
ing that the monopoly has an eve to busi-
ness as long as they keep him there. There
is something original and refresh ing about
his wit, and guests never refuse to register
their names on his book. During the long
winter months when the park is showed up
and the days are dark and cold,
Larry spends his time studying the
chirographv and trying to recall
how each one looked and acted. His regis
try is full of the names of prominent Ameri-
cans and foreigners who have dined with
him, and he prizes it very highly; indeed,
dotes on it. All who visit the park and see
Larry come away with fond recollections of
the pleasing and bright young Irishman.

What Some Visitors Think of Its Develop.
ment In P.ttsburg.
A visitor at one OF the hotels yesterday
who had been taking look around the city
said the opening of the parks and the Car
negie Art Gallery and Library-when these
come-should have at least one good effect
here. 1t would attract some of the loafers
off the street corners.
Another guest of the hotel, drummer
from New York, spoke up and added:
''There is not city east of the Alleghenies,
or for that matter west, of any pretensions,
where the same aimless gathering on the
corners and sitting on the steps of Offices and
business houses is seen as in Pittsburg on
Sundays. Nowhere else would it be toler-
ated. Perhaps the people who indulge in
this idle way of passing time may be ex-
eused on the ground that Pittsburg hereto
fore has had so few attractions"
1T is all right to talk about excusing the
loafhg on the street corners" said third
hearer, "but it is sickening to watch the
decoration of the adjacent pavement with
tobacco juice and to listen to the remarks of
some OF these crowds. Police are quick
enough on week days to make people move
on; but Sunday everything goes

OF FINE PHYSIQUE.
REPORTS ON THE CONDITION OF THE
STATE TROOPS At MT. GRETNA.

Cases of Insubordination, IDebriety and
Boisierous Conduct Were Couspicuously
Abseut-Militnry Etiquette Was Not En-.
forced as it should Have Been.
Captain Clinton B. Sears, of the q. s. A.,
has furnished reports on the bearing of the
men and on the encampment in general of
the State troops as witnessed by him at Mt.
Gretna.
The fine physical character and condition
Of the men and the good sanitary condition
of the camp, as we'll as the absence Of
malingering, was shown by the average
daily sick report of only So 3-5, or less than
one-half of 1 per cent among force of over
5000 men. No cases of inebriety, insub-
ordination or boisterous conduct were OBJ
served. The enlisted men were found to b.
as a body much superior to their company
officers, a large majority OF whom appeared
to be carelesss in their dress, slouching in
their carriage. slow and indecisive In giving
their orders. and though generally jealous,
were often grossly ignorant of their duties.
Military etiquette was found to be, as a
rule. deplorably absent, except among the
field, brigade and division commissioned
and non-commissioned officers who were
found to be neat in dress, alert
and military in their bearing, and pune
tilious in their manner. Unbuttoned
blouses, slovenly general bearing, failure to
salute in passing or addressing officers,
omission of the proper grade title, and
general slackness of military bearing and
lack OF esprit de corps characterized the
privates and non-commissioned officers.
knowledge of the duties of guard mount
ing was generally lacking on the part of
both officers and men. Too much time was
directed to inspections, reviews, and
maneuyers purely ceremonious and not
nearly enough to battalion drills and
especially skirmishing movements. Bat
talon drills observed were not even fairly
executed. Not one of the six colonels knew
his tactics even decently, and none we're
properly supported by their field officers.
1t was recommended that an experienced
officer of the army be detailed for duty in
the State as inspector of small arms practice.

A TIGHT MONEY MARKET.
Business Men Paying ms High rs SO Per

Business Men Paying High rs SO Per
Cent on Call Loans.
L. F. Humphrey, Boston wool buyer,
was registered at the Monongahela House
yesterday. He finds that the trade has i'm
proved little in the past two weeks, owing
probably to the passage of the tariff bill by
the Senate. In a measure it has restored
confidence, and the manufacturers of wooden
goods are beginning to branch out again.
What is hampering the wool market now,
and other industries also, is the scarcity of
money. The money market is very tight,
and Mr.. Humphrey can't account for it,
Several DAYS ago men were paying at the
rate oil 30 per cent for year on call loans to
tide them over for few days. This fact
has made business men very cautious. He
doesn't believe that one man in 10, 600 could
pay his debts in cash to-day if suddenly
called on. 1t would first be necessary to
sell their products. These facts do not
indicate that crash is imminent, but it
requires the exercise of some patience on
the part of creditors. Secretary Window
is doing all he can to relieve the scarcity.

Officers Hanna, Maxwell and Roach were

been sent up for 60 days for running an il
legal dram shop. His wife has been doing
business during his absence. and on the
next trip up the beautiful Allegheny she
will probably accompany him.
Another speak-easy was discovered by the
officer at 1910 noon, at No. Is Liberty

man, and in addition to the proprietor Bar
ney Sullivan, of Canonsburg, and James
Chalk were captured. The latter was not

Business Men Complain of the Tightness Of

CLUB DEMOCRATS GOING TO READING

General d. 81. Hastings, accompanied by
Mayor Gourley. went to Chicago last even
ing to boom himself for the director gener-
alship of the Worlds Fair. He is exceed
ingly modest about his ambition, andswhen
told that carload of his friends from Phil
adelphia had already preceded him to the
Windy City, he expressed great surprise,
and said he didn't know anything about it.
In the party was P. A. B. Widener, of
cable road fame, who is a member of the
commission. He is working hard for his
friend Hastings, as the report goes.
II am not sure that would accept the
position, even if got it, but don't think
there is much of chance for me-"
You certainly wouldn't refuse if it were
offered to you9"
The General only smiled in reply. Mayor
Gour]ey was listening to the conversation,
but he said nothing. The Mayor will use
his influence to further the Hastings cause.
The General said that he hadn't heard of
any other candidates from the State.
w. L. Elkins, of Philadelphia, partner
of Mr. Widener's in most of his business
enterprises, was also on the limited last
evening going to Chicago. When asked if
he was booming Hastings for Director Gen
eral, he replied: mo, 1 have nothing to
do with it, but if l had any influence I
would help General Hastings or any other
Pennsylvania to get the job. would
like to, see the position held by StaGe
man."
Mr.. Elkins assured the reporter there
were no new developments in the local
cable road fight.
On the subject of State politics General
Hastings fought shy, and declared he had
nothing to say and did not want to be
quoted. He would make 70 guess as to the
Republican majority. Yesterday afternoon
Senator -Delamater and General Hastings
took drive around the city with Chief
Brown.

Early Sunday morning Officer Adair, of
the Lawrenceville district, was patrolling
through Hemlock alley, when he encoun-
tered Thomas Diskin, who had suspicious
air about him. The officer inquired why
Diskin was prowling about back alleys at
such an untimely hour, and the man re-

that he was an honest taxpayer, and was
privileged TO go about
Just at this time the officer heard sus-
picious suppressed cackling under
Mr.. Diskin's coat An investiga-

citizen had nice, fat chicken slowed away
under his coat, and could give no clear ac-

was that Mr.. Diskin was placed under az
rest, and at the hearing yesterday morning
it developed that he was an old offender,
and Magistrate Leslie consigned him to the
workhouse for 80 days.
