Jolly Democrats. but the reception and con-
cert room on the first floor was the cen-er of
interest Here Squire Herman Handel,
Vice President of the club, presided, in the
absence of President WeiXeL No formal
programme had been arranged, but list of
the ceremonies was prepared after the MEM
bers and guests began to arrive. The pro-

Squire Handel sailed out into the crowd,
and bv the force of his personal magnetism,
assisted by the strength of his good right
arm, dragged them out and stood them up
in front. B. McGinness was called out,
but he tried to beg off on the plea of a
weak back. Handel said that he knew Mr.
McGinness had been working very hard for
a week back, and that he might be allowed
to sing sitting down. He then sang q num-
Der OF Irish ditties, ard after he got warmed
up couldn't be kept down at all.
John Crowley aroused great enthusiasm by
his rendition of the song, katy" as did
also Luke Mellon with his "Twickenham

Issued Any Orders to the
State Senate.
RANDALL CLUB MEMBERS CELEBRATE.
General Political Work and Gossip in and About
Pittsburg Yesterday.

Senator Quay and c. L. Magee held con-
ference of an hours duration yesterday In
the Seventh Avenue Hotel. 1t was an
altogether secret and quiet affair, and there
was no one present but the gentlemen
named While it was in progress Collector
Warmcastle, T. Baird Patterson, Postmaster
Mexican land three or four other friends OF
Senator Quay's called at the hotel. Ihey
were not requested however, to assist at
the conference. When Mr.. Magee had left
the Beaver statesman conferred with MS
henchmen, concluding at about O'Clock
with half an hours chat with postmaster
Mexican in the corridor
As he was leaving to catch the o'clock
train for Beaver Senator Quay was inter-
viewed bv a DISPATCH reporter. He SAID
he had come up to town to transact little
nriyate business, and nothing of Importance
should be attached to his visit. Beyond
this he volunteered no information OF the
object of his visit, and was studlously silent
as to who m he had or had not seen during
the day Postmaster Mexican remarked
that ii was the first time he had talked pol
itics with Senator QUAY for some months.
District Attorney Walter Lyon was In
Beaver on Wednesday, and, it is assumed,
arranged the meeting referred to. What Its
purport was can only be surmised.
The Senator appeared in excellent health
and spirits, and submitted to an interview
with much good humor.
''Thev say at Harrisburg, Senator, You
have given orders for short session of the
Senate"
81 haven't given any orders; don't give
orders, but l am in favor of having this
matter concluded at once.
''You are placing no obstacle in the way
of full investigation of these charges!
was asked.
Certainly not: 1 am in favor of an i'm
mediate and full investigation Of the busI-
ness, as 1 think it will be shown not to pos
sess the signifcanc. sought to be given to
it,
'Tn the event of the charges against the
officials being proven, what effect Will 1t
have on the Republican vote?'
''That is assuming something there are no
grounds for supposing it will occur.
Chow do you regard the prospects OF the
party at the coming election"
''The Republican party is as strong as
ever it was, and will undoubtedly roll
I'D its usual majority at the election.
There is no reason to think otherwise.
''They say, in this end of the State, that
the suggestions of crookedness at Harris
burg will affect the silent voters of the
party"
'rWell," said the Senator" as am not a
silent voter l cannot say. The Beaver
statesman then walked down to the depot
with the postmaster.

Got Their Fuel for Nothing.

Detective Bendel yesterday arrested Ma
tilda Rex, Johanna Osfroski and Kate Pier
galski, three Polish women, for stealing
coal at Dickson, Stewart & Co.'S yard, Six
teenth and Pike streets. For a long time
past the firm has been relieved of many
bushels of coal every day. 1t was known
that several Polish families in the neighbor-
hood were getting along without purchasing
coal, and even had some to sell to neighbors
But they were so careful in their operations
that it was difficult to locate the thefts.
Learning positively that these three women
had been among the number, Mr.. Dickson
yesterday made information against them
before Alderman McKenna and they were
arrested. They had pilfered enough coal to
last them through the winter. They will
have hearing Saturday.

Agent O'Brien Investigates a Serious Case
of Abuse at McKeesport.
Humane Agent O'Brien visited McKees-
port yesterday and investigated complaint
against John Jarvins, of White street. Jar
wins was accused of neglecting his family
and acting immorally toward his children.
While investigating the matter Agent
O'Brien says he found it to be one of the
worst cases of neglect and iniquity he ever
heard Of
He was told by neighbors that Jarvins
had been driven out of town by his fellow
workmen, who learned of the treatment of
his family. Agent O'Brien found Mrs.
Jarvins at her home, paralytic and unable
to do scarcely anything.
Mrs. Jarvins has a 6-weeks-old baby
which she cannot give the proper attention,
and as there is no person to assist her, the
child is almost starved about half the time.
Agent O'Brien says he is powerless to act
in the case as Jarvins has left the State and
will not likely return.

DISEASE AND THE DEVIL.
Or. Dowie Explains the Cause of All Bodily
Ailments.

Ailments.
At Dr. Dowie's divine healing mission
Yesterday the afternoon session was at
tended by large number of people. The
discourse Yesterday was principally on the
subject OF the origin or cause of sin, the
apostle Of health adducing many passages
from the Scriptures in proof of his claim
that disease and bodily ailments were the
direct work of the devil. He said: tI do
not believe in divine healing or salvation
bv special divine favor. There is no such
thing as divine discrimination when the re-
quiremen = are fulfilled" He enjoined his
hearers to connect themselves with some
branch Of the Christian Church Then he
continued:
There mag be hYrocrites il the church,
hut that is no ezG-Ise for YOU to remain out
of II. Trere was on: hypocrite among the
Twelve Apostles, but that was no reason for
the discontinaance of the apostleship.
''You have begun to see that We make
haste slowly in this mission. We never
make a move until the teaching has had the
proper effect There is more teaching
than preaching in the pulpit nowadays
The minister is sent to you TO minister
10 your needs, and to tell you Gods mes
sage. This is very often neglected. This
word OF God says that He is willing to
heal YOU, and it also states that He never
changes IF Christ 10 centuries ago went
about teaching, preaching and healing the
sick, He is just as willing to-day, if you
have the necessary faith. Christ bv mis-
stonement took away our sins and infirIni-
ties: why should We keep them? You have
been taught that disease and affiiction are
visited upon US by God S will, for our own
good. This is a terrible thing to say, that
merciful and loving God would visit
affiictian upon His children. No. diseaseis
from the devil The power of Christ was
manifested to destroy the works of the
devil, and if disease is one of the DEVILS
works then Christ must be the destroyer of
disease -
