ADVANCED THE PRICES,

the Trade.
A number of manufacturers of lantern
globes met at the Duquesne yesterday to
discuss the trade. They were very mysteri-

vanced about 10 per cent. The rates have
been cut so badly during the last few years
that the makers agreed to bury the hatchet
and maintain living prices.

George B. owry Sent to Jail for Court Trial
for Having Two Wives.
A great crowd assembled at Alderman
Soffel's Office yesterday afternoon expecting
a treat in the hearing in the bigamy case of
George B. Owry. A letter from his first
wife was submitted in evidence, which was
very conclusive. The attorney for the de-
fense tried to compromise by offering to pay
the costs, also claiming that Owry had OBJ
tanned a divorce in Chicago, but the Alder
man would not listen to the proposition,
and Mrs. Noe, the prosecutri1, got angry
and charged the attorney with neglecting to
perform certain work for which she said she
had paid him and refusing to return the
money.
The attorney said if she would let the
suit drop he would pay her every cent she
claimed he owed her. In the meantime,
the Alderman made out the commitment of
the prisoner to jail in default of 81, 900
bail for the September term Of court.

REST AND RELAXATION
To Be Found at a Pleasant Crawford Count,
Summer Resort.

Summer Resort.
A great many Pittsburgers who are seek
ing GOODNESS in these sweltering days, as
well as rest from the dust and dirt of sum-
mer, are finding both at the Hotel River
side, Cambridgeboro, Pa, where they
also have the free use of the celebrated
Gray mineral springs, the waters of which
are renowned for their health-giving quail
ties.
This hotel is even destined to become
more popular with people from this section
of the State, as it is so easily reached, and its
rates are within the reach of all. Although
since last season $50, 900 worth of improve
ments have been made, and the hostelry
thus made the equal of any summer resort
in the State, the rates have not been ad-
vanced, but remain at from $40 to SIS
week. The free use of the Gray mineral
spring water is also an inducement not to
be overlooked.

WHAT SUPERVISION MEANS
Is the Only Point to Be Settled in the
Mayors Trouble.

WHyOrS IrOuDIe.
1t is not likely that Mayor Gourley will
take many steps toward discovering the
exact powers of his Office until after the
Fourth of July celebration is off his mind.
But as he has stated frequently through THE
DISPATCH, he does not intend to allow his
case to drop with simply letter-writing.
Controller Morrow said yesterday: 'The
Mayor certainly has supervision of the de-
partments Now the only question to de-
eide is what is supervision For my part
1 am willing to take Webster's definition,
but that may not be sufficient in this case. "

The season just closed has not been too
prosperous one. At one time over 20 win
dow houses were shut down owing to dull
trade. The flint trade was bad But the
worst Of all for the men is the fact that the
flint manufacturers have as yet refused to
sign the scale, and the window manufacture
ers want a reduction in wages.

to use an expensive tool where a
cheap one will answer the purpose.
@. When a nation uses a million
dollars worth of metal money when
paper money would do the same
work, what is lost?
A. Surprising the paper money
to cost $1,000, the amount lost every
year is equal to the interest on
100000.
@. How is the loss made?
A. 1t is considered lost in accord
ance with the principle that when
we do not get thing that we might
just as we'll have, we lose it, just as
a man who misses days work is
said to lose days wages. If we
had used the paper and had let
out the metal at interest, we should
have gotten the interest, not having
gotten it, we lose it.
Q. If money be such useful
tool, is it not important to have a
full supply?
A. Yes. Nothing is of greater
Importance.
@. Is it possible to have enough
money?
A. Yes.
@. How is our present supply
obtained?
A. Our standard money is now
gold, and it is obtained in this way:
Any man who can find the precious
metal does SO, and taking it to the
mint has it coined into money.
@. Are we able to find enough of
this standard money?
A. No. It has become scarce.
We cannot find half enough for the
money use.
@. How is the deficiency sup
piled?
A. We use some silver. The sill
yer is not so scarce, sixteen times
as much of it being required to do
the same work.
G. How is silver obtained?
A. In the same manner as gold,
anybody may find it who can.
@. How does it get to be money?
A. The law now prevents our
taking it to the mint for coinage,
but the government buys a certain
quantity of it each month and
either coins it into money or issues
paper certificates in place of it,
which are to us as money while the
silver is locked up in vaults where
it remains just as idle and useless
as when it was locked up in the
rocks in the western mountains.
@. Why is not silver coined and
used for money just the same as
gold?
A. 1t always was until 1873,
when by slight change in the law
the coinage was stopped without
knowledge or consent of the people.
@. Was it right to make this
change in this way?
A. Clearly it was not.
Q. What was the object of making
the change?
A. To prevent the use of silver
as money.
@. What was accomplished by
the change?
A. One source Of the supply of
money was cut off, and thus the
quantity was made less.
Q. Did not this deprive the peo-
pie of most useful and necessary
DOL?
A. Yes.
G. Who could wish to do that?
A. The selfish interests of any
Who had large sums of money
