CREss0N HAS BEEN CAPTURED.
All the Cottages but One in the Possession
of PittsburRers


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
CREssoN SPRINGS, July 4.-This is q fayorite
resort with Pittsburgers. Fully two-thirds
of the guests are from the "Gas City" and.
excepting the Park cottage, all the cottages
are occupied by people from Pittsburg.
Superintendent Robert Pitcairn, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, arrived yesterday.
He is accompanied by his wife and Misses S.
r. and A. S. Pitcairn, Mr.. Robert Pitcairn, ,Jr.,
and Miss Blanche Street. They are in the
hotel.
1t is very quiet here now. There is nothing
to break the monotony excepting the excur-
sions and new arrivals. At first this quiet
which is characteristic of Cresson is very
enjoyable, but after while one is tired of
resting and it becomes monotonous, SO it is
hoped that something will be started. Some
OF the older children, those that might be
called young ladies despite their short
frocks, are trying TO start a cycling club and
have had bicycles ordered. ,Cresson has
SO many good roads that this sport could be
made very delightful and no doubt excit-
ing races could be planned. There is good
tennis court here, but for some reason or
other tennis seems in disfavor.
Some of the children, especially the Pitts
burg children, are unusually graceful dane
ers, and the parlor is a pretty sight in the
evening when little feet are keeping time
TO the music, and it looks almost deserted
after the children leave, for as yet there are
few grown people who care to dance.
Another excursion from the East arrived
last night which brought good addition to
the number of guests already here, though
the hotel was unusually well filed for SO
early in the season.
Ex-Governor James A. Beaver was one of
this weeks guests. aewas accompanied by

Where Air Is Sold.

The Bible house of Constantinople has
been often deserted. l was conducted
through it by the son of DIR. Bliss, so
many years in charge of it, and who but
a few months before had died at Assioot,
ON the Nile, as described in former let
ter. The Bible house is very we'll
adapted to it's purpose, marked in all its
departments by evidences of American
energy, and also by indications of con-
servative management.
Looking out of one of the upper win
dows, perceived long, low block by
the side of the Bible house, and said to
Mr.. Bliss:
"Does the Bible house corporation
own that block?"
"It does not"
"When that is removed, if buildings
of the character of the others in the
street are erected your magnificent views
from these windows will be cut off,"
"No," said he; ''they cannot do that.
We own the air."
"What does that mean?"
'sThere is a custom in Constantinople
of selling the air above the houses, which
makes it impossible for the owner of the
building to build above certain point,
and we have taken pains to purchase the
air between hero and the end of the
block. DIR. J. M. Buckley in Christian
Advocate.

AS winter advanced the distress grew

cold rains and SHOWS alternating. To
famine and fever was added cold. Hun
dreds of cabins in County Cork had
nothing on their earth floors save few
rotten bundles of straw-not blanket,

could the people afford in many cases
even the cheap peat fires. The men
tramped barefoot through the snow to
the relief works. Their rags hardly COW

thing in the world for men to be ''struck
with the cold" and die in a day or two
All over the country men and women
could be seen s,redigging the potato

Chimney Pots

When we reflect with satisfaction how
far we have emancipated ourselves from
the restraints of fashion in the matter Of
boards, does it not seem marvellous that
we still endure the oppressive, though
unwritten law which constitutes the
chimney pot hat to be the only decorous
headdress for well to do male humanity?
Woe! woe aesthetic woe to the sons of
men who, having cast aside one after
another the Phrygian cap, the furred
birrus, the slashed bonnet, the knightly
beaver, the three-cocked hat and the
feathered glengarry, have resolved that
whosoever will enter good society must
bind his brows with the gloomy cylinder
None has word to say in its favor;
every one hates it and condemns it. In
travelling the hideous object has to be
provided with special case, yet for
more than three generations it has been
held indispensable. There is a cynical
levity in the ribbon which still encircles
its rigid circumference, recalling the
happy days when a hat band was
reality. used to adjust the flexible cover
ing to the head. Odious as it is admit
ted to be, perhaps the most serious OBJ
lection to it from the point of view of
taste is the hindrance it presents to any
tendency in our other garments to be-
come more picturesque. Every visible
article of outfit has to be brought to the
aesthetic level of the headpiece A chin

Left Court for the Field.

Gen. Butler had a great practice be-
fore the war. For years he had two
offices, one in Boston and one in Lowell,
and a partner in each engaged in the
preparation of cases. He was trying
cases in court almost constantly for nine
months in the year. Then, as now, he
was punctual and methodical in his COM
ings and goings between Lowell and
Boston. When the war broke out he had
one of the most lucrative practices in
New England--worth probably $4,000
a year. He was trying case in court
when the order came for the Sixth regi-
ment- of his brigade to muster on Boston
common in readiness to proceed to
Washington. BY the courtesy of the op-
posing counsel and the court he was
allowed to leave the court. and the case
WAS stopped at that point. Boston Ad-

Metals the Pyramid Builders Lacked.


Apparently we are ignorant, and like
ly to remain SO, of the mechanical power
which erected the pyramids. Neither
do we know by what process the granite
was cut and polished. With us, having
steel and steam, this is easily done. In
many OF the American cemeteries are to
be seen shafts, pillars, pedestals and
phnths of red granite, which.is. extreme
ly hard, but can be cut into any shape
and polished to the smoothness of look
ing glass by simple machinery. Now,
though the ancients sometimes used
iron, and got the metal out of the ore by
great and long continued heat, they did
not know that by adding carbon to it
they could convert it into steel, which is
hard enough to cut all other metals. Be-
sides iron the ancients were acquainted
with copper, gold, silver, lead, quick
silver and tin-that is, withseven metals,
whereas we have over fifty.-Thomas j.

A Curious Eating Custom.

The Dyaks divide in pairs when the
hour arrives for taking food, the father
and mother at one platter, two sisters at
one and still two brothers at another.
When the family is not equally divided
as to sex a brother and sister may eat to-
gether, but this must always be the
youngest and oldest of the family.-St.
Louis Republic.
