sIepE-At the Political Headqunrrers.
The Republican headquarters yesterday
were visited BY General Hastings, who is
in the city for a few days in connection with
the military resources of Pittsburg. He
had q pleasant chat with the people pres
ent, and in speaking to Mr.. Gourley con-
graduated him upon a success which the Gen.
eral regarded as a foregone conclusion.
The General and William Finn walked out
side, leaned upon pile of drygoods boxes, and
held an interesting conversation for half an
hour
General Hastings received many callers atthe
Hotel Duquesne yesterday. On the previous
evening many who called to see him were told
that he was out The fact was that the General
was in, at least physically, He was very tired
after his Johnstown visit and his railway jour
ney. He lay down upon his bed at $50 P. M,
without undressing. and went sound asleep.
He slumbered SO hard that the rapping of the
boys on his room did not awake him. 1t was
midnight when he awoke. He then went out
for lunch.
General Hastings departed at $40 o'clock
last night for Harrisburg. The General
seemed to be in good spirits. He has been on
'the GO" ALMOST constantly recently, but looks
well, and said 1t had rested him to come to
Pittsburg. The General was asked if he would
be at the Department Encampment at
Shamokin. He said he thought he would be
too busy to go. Official matters at the state
capital would claim his attention for some
time
There were 48 people on Penn avenue
traction car yesterday morning coming down
town, and the straw vote fiend commenced his
work upon the inoffensive passengers. He
was at once spotted, and while smile went

tlons of the passengers, which resulted in At

AS the gain in the number of applications In
Pittsburg is but 46 and in Allegheny but 81 in
all 7S. and the gain in the county 6OO it follows
that some people think there is room for 622
more houses for llquidating purposes in the
boroughs and townships than judged necessary
last year. The banner ward this year is the
Fourth ward, Allegheny City, which has 10
more applications fled than the Third, of this
city. The next in number is the Third, Of
Allegheny, which presents 40 applicants. The
showing gives the w. c. T. U. and the Law and
Order societies an ample field for the exer-
else of obstructive talent.
It looks just now as though applicants for
license will not be subjected to the same
amount Of badgerink that worried them last
year. No official declaration has been made by
the Law and Order Society, and Captain WISH
art is in doubt as to its course. He is reported.
however. as stating that the organization had
enough to do outside in the prosecution of vio-
lators OF the law, and could not spare the time
nor take the trouble to make a fight in the
License Court. However, some people say they
will not be astoniShed if the society does take a
hand. Notwithstanding its apparent unconcern.
William YOst, attorney for the society,
thought it would be time enough to act when
the list of applicants is published. He said he
had no instructions from the committee.

private ownership in land is incompatible with
Christian civilization; to secure the rights of
citizens in the soil upon which they live is the
object of the Single Tax League, which advo-

At go o'clock Mr. Rhinehart Mayors took

listeners in rapt attention, and displayed the
wonderful familiarity with the keys that only

the seat vacated by Mr.. Mayors, and as her
fragile figure and delicate hands we're viewed
by the assemblage it became q matter Of
wonder bow such strains of strength and power
could emsnate from the organ under her ma
nipulation.
In the evening Mr.. c. c. Mellor. at S:l6. made
the organ acknowledge master, and until 9:l5
delighted all those who were in the solidly
packed music hall. At that time Mr.. Leonard

which be handled the keys with the delightful
enhancing strains. which were the result of his
efforts, increased the reputation the gentleman
already had of being an accomplished musician:
In the accustomed manner the audience OF

the various numbers rendered, and praise Tor
