HE ADOPTS ELECTRICITY.
DIR. RUTLEDGK, OF BLAIRsvILLE.
AFTER TREATING SIX WEEKS AT
THE ELECTRICAL AND MEDICAL
INSTITUTE. Az PENN AVENUE, FOR
PARALYSIs,

Improves Sufficiently 70 Have One OF
Their Special Batteries Set Up in His
Office to Complete His Recovery.
DR.. s. r. Rutledge, of Blairsville, Pa,
the leading physician of that section, also
surgeon Of the Pennsylvania Railroad for
the past II years, has been one of Pitts
burg's frequent visitors of late, undergoing
q course Of electrical treatment at the Elec-
trical and Medical Institute, Az Penn
avenue, for stroke of paralysis received
about two years ago, which was incurred by
overwork The results were so favorable
that he had their chief electrician place one
of their special batteries in his Office at
Blairsville, which is particularly adapted in
his disease, in order that he might complete
the treatment at home.
Electricity is fast gaining popular favor
as a restorative agent both with the pro-
fession and the public in general. Its sp-
plication being adapted in all chronic dis
eases in some Of its various forms, and the
results recently accomplished give it q
place in medicine and surgery equal to that
for mechanical purposes, and SURPRISING all
other remedial agents that have ever been
discovered.

A Feat in Light Gauge Rolling.

The Carnegies have finished an order of
300 tons of plate at their Homestead plate
mill for the Standard Oil Company for
tanks in the Mcdonald oil field. The
tanks were made by Ritter s. Conley, and
was a rushed order. The capacity of the
plate mill at Homestead will be appre-
ciated when it is stated that "a hours after
the order was placed the first consignment
of the plate was in cars ready for shipment.
This order was the lightest in gauge ever
of the Homestead 119-inch plate mill. The
plates for the Standard Company are known
as No. 4 and Nc. 6 gauge, and weigh e6S
and 825 to the square foot.

AN ENGLIsEMAN's VIEWS.
The Tariff VIII Interfere With Exhibits at
the Worlds Fair.

F. Willoughhy Firth, a prominent iron
and steel manufacturer from Sheffield,
England, was at the Hotel Duquesne last
night He had just returned from trip to
Chicago, ard felt confident tha. the World s
Fair would be great success.
''The only thing that will prevent English
people from making good exhibits" he
said, will be the tariff. It is customary
after an Exposition Of thas kind for the eS-
hibitors to sell their displays and thus avoid
return freight and at the same time make a lit
lie profit. This cannot be done at the Worlds
Fair, however, because the arrangement
whereby goods will be admitted free of
duty will not allow their sale. 1 think.
however, that England's industries will be
well represented"
Referring to the condition of English
workingmcn, Mr.. Firth said that they had
never yet learned the use of a bank. He
thought Americans save more money than
Engljshmen, but that they do so on account
Of being educated TO save rather than be-
cause Of a difference in earnings.

A NEW BOYCOTT.
Percy Smith and the Bijou Theater Settle
Amicably.

The striking job printers have sprung
something new in the way of boycott
They will vote the Straightout ticket on
Tuesday solidly, as that was the only party
that had its printing done in union job
Offices. They are also inaugurating 9 boy
colt against all tradesmen who do not affil-
late with them. They will not even buy
papers from non-union newsies Outside of
this phase there is nothing new in the situ-
alton.
The trouble between the Biiou Theater
and Percy Smiths printing house will
probably be settled before it goes into court
The Biiou people have sent a communica-
tion to Mr.. Smith, requesting that he send
them bill of their account, and also an es-
innate on what he will lose by having the
contract taken from him, and they will send
him check for the whole. Mr.. Smith has
complied with the terms, and is now waiting
for the check. As soon as ne gets it he will
turn over the cuts, and the matter will be
settled.

''The stallion rose up, but soon fell to the

he refused to release his grip. Someone

Jetsr walden Insane.


The sad news that Jeter Walden is now
confined in a private asylum for the insane
will cause sensation among racing men.
Jeter Walden is one of the best-known train
ers on the turf He is big, whole-souled
man, and every one who comes in contact
with him becomes his friend. He is generous
to fault, and his liberal heart has kept him
comparatively poor.
Jeter Walden was the father of James
Walden, who met his death at the hands of a
noted courtesan at Fourteenth street and
Broadway james Walden first met her at
Sheepshead last June. He became infatuated
with her, and she finally induced him to con
sent TO bgamous marriage in Camden, n.
a., where James went with her from Sleeps
head Bay. Ever since the night when his
son was murdered Jeter Walden has seemed
dazed and bewildered. His friends kept a
close watch on him. Tears were continually
flowing down his cheeks, and he talked in Il
random manner. He threatened vengeance
on the woman who had murdered his son.
He said he would kill her on sight. Every
one who knew him talked with him and tried
to console him. Lucius Appleby, one of his
closest friends, tried in every manner posi-
Bile to quiet him, but it was in vain. Walden
rapidly went from bad to worse in his insanity.
James Walden was the son Of Jeter's first
wife. His present wife has three children,
one a mere infant, eighteen months old.
