Among those Pittsburgers engaged in busi-
ness away from here, who occasionally return to
the city is Mr.. Neville B. Dilwortb, who is well
known In the business and social circles of the
city. Mr.. Dilworth has an interesting story to
tell of the scene of his undertakings at Nor

In common with several other Pittsburgers in
a vast tract of wooded and mineral country,
over 10000 acres.
The extent and variety of the resources of
the Western North Carolina region, Mr.. Dill
worth says, would surprise the outside world.
Gold mining has been prosecuted in the region
and alluvial ground yielding sometimes from
SO to SIS per week to luckyoperaIore when

everywhere in that territory there is gold to be
found In small quantities; and good many
people are inclined to think that it must be
Somewhere near in large quantities. A garnet
mine has been found on the P1ttsburgers tract,
and several of the stones have been cut and
polished in Philadelphia. There is also about
a mile and quarter of mountain side which is
covered by flexible sandstone-the same min
eral which is found IN proximity to diamonds
in South Africa. Beside these are vast guam
titles of iron ore, with coal about 20 miles dis

placer deposits in small way.
The town has bank and a newspaper. in
both of which the P1ttsburgers who have in

A Very Lively Time Had by the Members oi
the Central Board at the Meeting Last
Night-Trouble About the Musical In.
structors.
The Central Board of Education at their
meeting last night had quite lively time
over the supervisors OF music and the music
question. There are two supervisors oi
music, Prof Rinehart and Prof. McGargo.
The former was reelected in June, but the
latter had considerable opposition. and was
only elected after contest that lasted TOR
three months.
When the Committee on Music reported
it presented two resolutions, one providing
that after September, 1891, there should be but
one supervisor of music, and the other giving
the committee the power to assign the super
visors to the schools where they are to teacn.
Mr.. Buckley was on his feet at once.
There Is snake in that report" he sald;
''the idea is to get rid of McCargo on the South
side"
Mr. Holmes moved as an amendment that
after September. 1891, no supervisor be en-
ployed The Chair ruled this out of order. DR..
McCandless moved to amend py making the
number three. Mr.. Buckley cried out:
Make it six. The orly idea in having but
one is to knock out the man who knocked out
the Southsider."
report Mr.. Carr said the committee was try
ing to take snap judgment on the board. Mr..
Keller said that there was no dissatisfaction
with existing arrangements, but Mr.. McKain
said there was; he was dissatisfied.
Mr. Keller-Who do you represent?
Mr. McKain-The Morse district, and it is
dissatisfied.
Thus the thing continued for some time, and
the Chairman found it almost impossible to get
order. AT last the resolution for only one su-
pervlsor of music was postponed indefinitely,
and the committee was ordered to prepare
schedule sending the instructors to the districts
who favor them and report at the next meeting
of the board.
E. l. Elliott was elected assistant teacher Of
science and mathematics in the High School.
and Annie Guttendorf was elected assistant
teacher in the commercial department Two
new teachers in the Hiland and one in the Mt.
Allison district were allowed. There is a total
enrolment of 774S pupils. L. las more than last

no more prizes should be given in the cooking

Surgeons Discuss the Best Time to Ampu-
tate Limbs.
About l6 of the so or more surgeons of the
Pennsylvania Company met at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel yesterday. DR.. j. ]. Buchanan,
of this city, opened the ball by roasting the
members who were absent. He then read
paper on the best time to amputate limb
when nothing else will do. Some surgeons
think it best to remove the cause at once even
if the person is badly shocked, while Others
claimed that it was best to wait until the shock
was over. DR.. Buchanan took the latter
position, and a majority of those present
agreed with him.
At the afternoon session President Thorne,
of Cleveland. made his annual report, which
contained nothing of special importance to the
public. He said that fewer men were killed on
the Pennsylvania Company's lines than on any
other railroad system in America. When told
that the death record of local roads had aver
aged about four victims per day for several
days, he replied. that his experience had been
that the railroads get in their deadly work in
waves. 1t is one of the unaccountable things
in life.
Or. Post. of Canton, is secretary of the or
ganizatlcn. The next meeting will be held in
Chicago.

SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT.
Finest Piano 1 Ever PLAYED Upon.

Such was the enthusiastic comment of the
possessor of delicious piano which he had
just purchased at the musical establishment
of Mellor & Hoene; then followed disser.
tation upon the singing quality as valuable
in expressive piano playing; the evenness
of tone; the perfection of the "harp'' at.
tachment, which is not only effective in con-
trolling the strength of tone. but in re.
ducing the wear and strain upon the in
strument; the superb "action" responsive to
the lightest touch, yet revealing its capabiIi-
ties for all the requirements of the player
endowed with immense strength; then the
beauty of the cases came up, with their ex-
ira hard polish; then the adjustable music
rack. and numberless other remarks con-
gratulatory of the famous Hardman.
