EDITOR BEACON :-Asthe candidates
are moving aronnd at n lively gait,
might it not be well for us 10 discuss
the mode of selecting our nominees
for The various offices at the ensuing
election. The basis Of representation,
as nj now stands, was agreed upon by
n mass meeting of the party when the
negro was a disturbing political elc'
mcn,, and our bre,1,creif on the other
side lad hsrd work 10 help pull the
ticket through, but things have
changed. II is now hought'the work
of the Constitutional Conyen,ion. The
ference, will eliminate them from pol
tiles, hence the people, l.btfievc, de-
mand a change. 1t cannot be denied
that conventions almost invariably
thwa,t the will ofthc people. Cliqucs,
rings, and combinations in the past
have disguised many of the rank and
file of the party.
We think a double primary will
come nearer meeting the demand Of
the party than any thing we have ever
tried heretofore,
Let tue two candidates who secure
file highest vote iu the first primary
purf.throagh in the second; thai will
secure a majority m each case. This
IA democracy-that a majority shall
rule. No democrat can object TO this,
We suggest that a call be issued for
a mass meeting OF the Democratic vo.
tiers, at The Court House, At some suit

matter.

The Carrette Line 10 the Parks VIII BE
Operation by Next Spring.

The Carrette Line TO the Parks VIII he in
Operation by Next Spring.
Already it is conceded on all sides that
Pittsburg and Allegheny excel in rapid
street railway transit other cities. of
the Union. Notwithstanding this, a new
company has been organized which
will establish line of earettes
to traverse the principal thoroughfares
of the two cities. j. c. Allies is Treas
urer of the concern which is STYLED ''The
Carrette Company of Pittsburg." ANY one
who visits New York cannot but notice the
carrettes which run up and down Fifth
avenue and through Central Park They are
very literally patronized, as there
is no street car line laid on that great artery.
The idea is to place four of these large
vehicles in Schenley Park to carry passen-
gers from one end to the other. Each one
will have seating capacity of thirty pas
sengers, the furnishings and upholsterings
to be on the most elaborate and luxuri-
Gus scale. These will have spiral
steps which allow those who care to ride
up on top of the carrette. This is on the
plan of the tallyho coach, and is very pop
ular in the metropolis Each one of these
will necessitate the using of four horses,
the coaches being very heavy.
The carrettes which will cover the
principal streets between Pittsburg
proper and Oakland will be of lighter de-
sign, and two horses will be sufficient to
draw them. The city authorities will not
allow any fares to be charged for riding
through the park, consequently the passen-
gers who desire to spend pleasant summer
afternoon in the free resort will only have
to settle for the ride to the entrance.
Treasurer Allies expects to go TO Philadel-
phia and New York to arrange for the con-
struction of the carrettes next week. The
fare will be 8 cents trip. He is very con-
fident that the innovation will
be met with approval by most Pitts
burgers, as the coaches are patronized by
the New Workers and ChicagoanS Outing
parties will be able to go out for a moon
light trip to the different road houses, after
the fashion of metropolitans who go up
Harlem road to indulge in a lunch and
other pleasant etcetres found at suburban
hostelry. The carrettes wilt be in opera
tion by early spring.

A TWO-COLORED LIGHT
CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE
OF THE DESPATCHS WRECK

Evidence Adduced to Prove That the As
tenant Noel Backs Up Lieutenant
CowIes' Testimony in Full.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-At the Des-
patch Court of Inquiry, this morning, Lieu
tenant Cowles testified that he had had no
notice of any change in the position of the
winter quarter to show the light Lieuten-
ant Noel, executive officer of the Despatch
and navigating officer at the time the course
was changed, recited in detail the incidents
in the course of the vessel from the time she
left New York. At 1:5O A NJ, while on
deck, the lookout reported to him red
light, and few minutes thereafter, he saw
the light himself He asked the quarter
master of the vessel if it was q red light,
and the reply was in the affirmative. As a
red light is required to be shown at the
winter quarter lightship, he supposed that
what he saw was the winter quarter light
ship.
He then changed the course of the vessel
south 40 degrees west. He looked carefully
all around to see if there was any other
light visible, but there was none. The light
he saw was visible ] Z points to the star
D0aru. Inc course determined upon by
him would carry the vessel in the direction
Of the winter quarter shoal light ship. As
the red light turned out to be the Assa-
league Light, the winter quarter shoal
light ship, was, he said either off station,
or it showed no light whatever, as a careful
examination had assured him that there was
no other light in sight. At 2o'elock he was
relieved by Lieutenant Mulligan. to whom
he explained the situation, and told him on
reaching what he supposed was winter quar-
ter shoal lightship to head the vessel for
Cape Charles lightship. He then retired,
hut shortly before ) o'clock he was awak-
ened by the ship grounding. Going on
deck Lieutenant Noel said he saw the red
light and he could not therefore imagine
how the vessel could be ashore.
Lieutenant Noel said although he had
not seen the Assateague light show so red
as at the time of the wreck, yet it always
had a peculiar appearance, and never
showed a clear, white light.
Several statements OF shippers of vessels
touching upon the Assateague light were
then read 10 the effect that the white light
there often appeared red, even under favor
able circumstances One skipper regarded
it as particularly unreliable.

Stealing Copper Pigs.

Three robbers entered the works of the
keystone Manufacturing Supply Company
early yesterday morning and tried to blow
open the safe. Failing in this, they loaded
into wagon seven pigs of copper prepared
for the United States mint and each valued
at S141. Watchman Thomas Flanagan
frightened them away. While driving
rapidly around a corner the wagon struck
post and was demolished. But the men
escaped, carrying two pigs of copper with
them.

Make two cakes, one with
Cleveland's baking powder;
the second with any other.
Note the difference.
The Cleveland cake is fine
grained, keeps its natural
flavor and moisture "the
other is coarse grained, as
if the sugar was too coarse,
soon dries out and becomes
husky.
Cleveland's leavens best
because its strength is pro-
duced by cream of tartar
and soda only, not by ann
monia or alum.

raganlni.s Fa.orlte Instrnmept.

Paganini purchased many other violins.
particularly several Stradavari, and was
continually buying and selling fine instru-
ments, but nothing could induce him to
part with his Joseph del Jesu. He kept
it constantly with him, and watched it as
father might watch delicate child
Once it was sick, appearing suddenly to
lose all its quality. and he took it to
Nuillame. known as the most famous re-
pairer of fddles in Europe. The expert
said that it must be taken apart. Paga-
mini insisted that it must not go out of
his sight, and compelled the work to be
done in his own apartments Vuillame
| told afterward that Paganini watched him
as he put in the knife and pried the deli
cate wood apart, and started at every
fresh thrust as though the knife were go
ing into his own body. AfCerward Vuil-
lame had to take it to his shop to put it
together. When the work was done
Paganini gave him gold box set with
precious stones, which Paganini said was
exactly the same as one he had TO give to
his physician, and that the doctor of his
body and the doctor of his violin were en-
titled to equal consideration. The box
was worth several hundred dollars, prob
ably ten times as much as the original
maker received for the violin when it was
new.
While the violin was in his shop Vuil-
lame made measurements of it's exact di-
mansions down to the very unevennesses
of the varnish, and from these he subse-
quently made another violin that was the
exact duplicate of Paganinis, but when
the latter heard of it he insisted that it
should be sold to him, and so no one ever
had a violin like that of Paganini until
dying, Paganini bequeathed the copy to
Camille SivOri, who has ever since played
upon it. The original violin Paganini left
to his native city, Genoa, to be kept for
ever in remembrance of him. 1t is kept
with scrupulous care, and only the most
famous artists are or have ever been al
lowed to touch it. Once before the honor
has been accorded to Sivori This time
Leandro Campanati, the director of the
Milanese quartet, shares the honor with

RECOMMENDATION from Panama i'm tS49.
We paid our money and went On board
the vessel, which was anchored about
three miles from shore. We found
prorniscuous crowd from every nation
under heaven. the predominating type
being that Of the American rough. The
deck was so densely packed with men
from stem to stern that we could scarce
" move. Many were PROSTATE with
sickness, or supported by friends, or
living in hammocks swung along the
side rigging All day long this crowd
of men were seething, swaying. quar-
reling and cursing. No food was pro-
vided, and hunger and thirst gave an
edge to the bad passions of the mob.
The captain, United States naval
officer, had not assumed command be
cause he was shut off from his men by
the chaotic crowd. At length, toward
evening, he stood on the quarter deck
and shouted above the angry mutters
and iargon of the crowd that the deck
must be cleared for his men so that they
could raise the anchor | had conferred
with few of the more respectable look
ing passengers, and we had concluded
that there were more men on board than
our contract stipulated for, so we replied
to the captain that the anchor could not
be raised until we had had a count.
The effort to get the men i'll order and
to set them in motion so that they could
pass around in line required two or three
hours, but was at last accomplished, and
the result showed 440 persons on board
besides the sailors This attempt of the
consignee to increase his enormous profits
dishonesty at the risk and discomfort of
the passengers excited torrent Of indig-
nation. Infammatory speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed
to visit the consignee and adjust the
matter. About 100 men left for the
shore in boats that the natives had in
waiting about the vessel, and those who
remained agreed to keep the ship at an
Choir until they should return.-John c.

A Horid sample.

A commercial traveller whom l know
carries perhaps the most unique 'sam-
pie" in the drumming profession. 1t is
nothing less than a human body, three
years old, an example of the efficacy of a
certain embalming fluid. For three
years this mummy has been transported
on the railroads as a sample case would
be, and, indeed, there is no outward sign
which would indicate the uncanny nat
ure of its contents. In this instance the
longer the body is preserved the more of
an advertisement it is for the fluid in the
veins of the "stiff. The box is zinc
lined, and does not exceed the limits of
the railroad excess baggage rule in
