ators and miners, to be held at Columbus dur

permanent scale to suit all.
The operators held another meeting yester-
day, and reaffirmed their former position in
the matter.

markets in the country for produce and stock.

imagine that Chicago had better market. but

When you walk along Liberty street and see
wilted poultry displayed. you may know it
comes from Chicago or st. Louis. The prod
uce of many Ohio farms is brought to Pitts
burg.
Not as many fast horses are bought and
sold here as in some other cities, but your
draughr horses to be seen on the streets every
day show that Pittsburg is ahead in this kind
of horsefesh. l have heard more than one
strange speak of the fine draught horses pull
ing hesvy loads of iron and other materials.
This is also great town for oleomargarine and
piles of ii are sold to the workmen and their
families. They ask for nothing else and even
claim they prefer 1t TO butter. For my part

SICK AND DESTITUTE.

A Domestic Suffering From Diphtheria and
Without Medical Attention.
A servant girl who came to Pittsburg from
Wesrmoreland county about six months ago is
lying very sick with diphtheria and without
medical attendance at 4 house on Sixth street.
She has been working at the house where she
is now since she came to the city until she was
taken sick on Wednesday last. Application
was made for admittance to a number of city
hospitals, but this was refused her on the
grounds that the disease she had was con-
tagious, and since the people she lives with are
unable to render her any aid she mas been
forced to go without medical assistance.
While working she sent nearly all of her money
to her parents in Westmoreland county.
A doctor was ordered for her, and she will
be taken care of by the Bureau of Health until
a better place can be found for her.

P0TTERS' ANNUAL MEETING
Lower Prices for Their Wares Predicted by
Homer Laughlin.

Lower Prices for Their Wares Predicted by
Homer Laughlin.
A dozen or more potters left for Washington
last evening to attend the annual convention at
Wizards Hotel. In the party were Homer
Laughln and Messrs. Sims, NJ. c. Nichol and
Goodwin, of East Liverpool; Pearson. of
Wheeling. and Day. of Steubenville. Mr..
Laughlin said they offered prizes to the various
schools of design in the country for specimens
of decorative art, and one of the interesting
features of the meeting will be the exposition
of these designs. The latest machinery and
improvements will be discussed.
Concerning the prospects for trade Mr..
I,aughlin said this was their dull season. but
they had hopes, and the tariff was sufficient to
help them. The indications are that the prices
of the finer wares will be reduced and the. ten
dency generally is for lower rates. This doesn't
look as if the tariff was putting up prices. The
same thing is true of window glass.

The fact that Easter falls on very
early date this year March 29) has caused
friend of facts and figures" to collect
some curious statistics. In 1883 Easter
fell on March %, and it will only once
again in this century namely. in 1894. fall
on so early 6, date. In the three follow =
ing centuries it will occur only eight times
on the same dste-namely. in 1851. 2035,
2046, 2057, 21O3, 2114. 2125 and 219s.
The earliest date on which Easter can
fall is on March %, and this only in case
the moon is full on March O.. when this
date happens to fall on Saturday. This
combination Of circumstances is extreme.
ly rare; it occurred in 1890, 1861 and
1917, and will happen again in 1890. 2076.
and 2144. while during three following
centuries it is not once ION the books at
this early date. On the other hand.
Easter never falls later than April %;
this was the case in 1866. 1874 and 1886,
and will only happen once in the next
century--name ely. in 1913.
