THE WESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Its Advantages.

In the classics, a thorough training in
language, literature and civics. The Uni
versity library and public libraries of AL
legheny and Pittsburg will afford increasing
facilities for research.
In science, the well-equipped laboratories
give opportunity for extended study in
chemistry and physics, and especially in
electricity and metaIlurgy.
In engineering, it is safe to say that no
school in this county exjoys equal facilities
for illustration Of principles taught in the
class rooms. The eight or ten bridges of
different type within the two cities. and
railroads and the mines show the work of
the civil engineer. While the engine. loco
motive. pump and bridge works, the blast
furnaces and rolling mills, the electric and
cable cars, the arc and incandescent light
ing: plants, with the splendid machinery
used in these various industries, force upon
the student of mechanical engineering not
only illustration of theory applied but in
spiration as we'll. Add to these the well.
equipped shops and engineering laboratory.
and we have advantages rarely offered.

The Sign Keep OF the Grass VIII be
Looked Upon With scoru.
The children's jubilee in the Allegheny
Parks tomorrow afternoon promises 10 be
successful beyond the fondest expectations
of the gentlemen who agitated a renewal of
the old and beloved custom. A joint meet
ing of the Citizens Committee and the
Board of School Control was held at the
High School building last night. The
Finance Committee reported collections
sufficient for all the necessary expenses that
will be incurred. There is enough money
now in the hands of the committee. 1t is
hoped enough more can be raised to give a
number of popular open air concerts. This
can almost surely be counted upon as sew
eral merchants and residents of the town
have expressed themselves as being in favor
of them.
The only business for the committees to do
last night was to arrange the bands of music
for the several schools. There have been
four bands of "a pieces each engaged and
one more will be engaged to-day. They are
tine Cathedral, Select knights, Post 162 and
the Superior The Ave bands will be di-
vided, and, as there are but ten schools to
take part in the jubilee, each school will
be escorted to the park from their school
building, after which the bands will again
join and take up their allotted stations. In
the evening it is probable they will all be
massed and give grand concert with I2O
instruments.

PITTsBURG ENTERPRISE
Does Away With Outside Competition and
E.tahlishes Home Iudusrry.

Does Away with Outside Competition and
Establishes Home Industry.
Pittsburg has made gigantic strides in all
branches of trade within the past few years,
and nowhere is this more noticeable than in
Job printing. Only a few brief years ago
thousands of dollars worth of work OF this
kind went to New York and Buffalo. Every
year have the printing houses in those cities
looked upon Pittsburg as one Of their most
lucrative sources of revenue.
But times have changed. Instead of send
ing work out, Pittsburg is now prepared to
take it in and do it in manner that even
Buffalo, with all her splendid printing
plants, cannot surpass.
Ben D. Stephens, who is known the
country over among the printing fraternity,
was in the city few days ago. He used to
come here every few months in the interests
of a well-known printing house of Buffalo.
He doesn't now. 1t doesn't paw him. But he
was here a few days ago, and during his
stay he took tour through the establish
ment of Percy f. Smith, on Virgin alley,
near Smithfeld street. Mr.. Smith, he
said, was the cause OF his loss Of trade here,
and he was curious to see what sort of a
plant he had.
In referring to the subject in an interview
with a DISPATCH reporter published in
this paper a couple of davs ago, he says:
81 dropped around to Mr.. Smiths Office
this afternoon to see his plant, and, although
1 expected to see a model, well-equipped
Office, must say was astonished. He has
an outfit that for modern completeness is the
equal Of any in the country. His press room
is the best arranged of any in the city, and
among his machines are three two-revolution
Cottrell perfecting jobbers that are the finest
in the market. His smaller presses, paper
cutting apparatus, ETC., are up to the same
high standard, while In his composing room
are thousands of fonts of type, among which
can be found the choice new designs of all
the type foundries in the country. His ia
cilities for quick work are something mar
velous, and Idare say he could turn outa for
tv-eight page pamphlet, ready for the bind
er within forty-eight hours after having
been handed the copy. His wood type de-
partment, designed especially for poster and
show printing, cannot be excelled in Buffa-
10, and that, you know, has the reputation of
being the best poster and show printing city
in the country. 1 tell you he can print any
thing from visiting card to a three-sheet
poster as good as any of them"
we'll up on everything pertaining to print
ing is something of which not only Mr..
Smith, but all Pittsburg may we'll be
proud. Mr.. Smiths plant is indeed model
one, and for proof of the fact that the mod
ern conveniences it contains, and the high
class of work it turns out are appreciated by
Pittsburgers, is very readily found in the
constant clicking of the presses and the rush
of business that keeps the army of en-
ployes as busy as bees from early morning
until night.

Chief Bigelow Constantly Adding Attrac.

1t is expected that 5000 persons will go to
Highland Park this evening to listen to the
free concert to be given by the Elliott Mccall
Band. The park has been greatly beauti.
fed by the addition of the flower gilt oil
Mr.. E. NJ. Ferguson. and now compares
with parks of older growth in other cities.
Mr.. Joseph Loughrey. of Boquet street,
Oakland, yesterday offered Chief Bigelow
the contents of his fine greenhouses Tor the
Identification of the parks. Mr.. BigeloW
promptly accepted the offer and will trans
plant the flowers to Highland Park before
next Sunday. Highland Park will be plen-
tifully supplied with flowers now.
Chief Bigelow said last night that the
park concert will take place tonight, rain
or shine, so there will be no disappoint-
ment.
Another concert will be given at High
land Park next Monday night, subject to-
the same conditions of weather.
