Central American Trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-Minister
Manuel I. Morales, minister from San
Salvador to the United States. arrived
last night on the steamer San Juan.
He is on the way to Washington as q
special envoy to negotiate reciprocity
treaties between the United States
and San Salvador. He stated that
San Salvador was the first Central
American republic to take this step,
but he believed others would soon
follow. The trade of those countries
with the United States had become
very large. Morales thinks that
there is not the slightest chance of
war between Guatemala and San Sal

To Test the Oyster Law

MOBILE, Sept. 15-The people on
the coast engaged in the oyster bust
ness held meeting at Bon Secour q
few days ago and raised funds to test
the constitutionality of the oyster law
passed by the last Legislature, which
placed tax of ten cents on each
barrel, required an additions license
for boats to carry them, and for bade
their being carried out of the state in
the shell. The same law did not eX-
empt oysters taken from the reefs for
planting. A double tax was thereby
created in that instance. They claim
it is hardship upon them and de-
prives many of employment. Attor-
neys have been employed to test IL 9
law.

A Suggestisn.F

1t is suggested by Mr.. Juan F. Roc Z
riguez that the Military plaza can BE-
improved and laid off in q nice B1an~
ner by first planting grass bed all
around the city hall, then plant row
of trees, then construct nice walk,
another row of trees and paws, tho,
balance. Hucksters' teams could then
back up to this walk and the citizens
could do their marketing much bette =
than now. The hours for market
could be fixed and after certain hour r.
everything unsightly could be clean--
ed off, either by city prisoners or.
hucksters themselves.

Il. Z. Cole, Chairman of the Prohibition

it is impossible for a new party to rise

A GR0UNDLEss STORY.
Reported Inhumanity That Did Not Stand
Investigation.

Reported Inhumanity That Did Not Stand
Investigation.
A story was circulated yesterday to the
effect that on Thursday last the principal of
the Thirty-frst ward schools had COM
PEELED all the scholars and teachers in
the school to run up and down the fire
escape to test it, and as result large
number of them were laid up seriously
i'll. A visit was made to the Thirty
first ward last night by a DISPATCH
reporter, but the only case of sickness that
could possibly be charged to this exercise
was that of IA 4-year-old girl named Lottie
Mckee, who has since last Thursday been
unable to attend school ON account of sore
throat
According to the young girls statement
the scholars and teachers were ordered to
exercise in making rapid exit from the
building to see how quickly it could be
done in case of fire. The little Mckee girl
being rather stout had become overheated
by the exercise and taking cold it had set
tied in her throat. She said she had heard
of several other children being similarly
affected, but could not give their names. 1t
was stated also that one of the teachers,
Miss Alma Scheck, had tainted from the
violence of the exercise and had to be taken
home in carriage.
A call was made at Miss Scheck's home
late last night, but no response was received
to repeated ringing of the door bell. A
visit to several drug stores and doctors
offices and inquiry among the people failed
to discover any substantial basis for the
story

SPEAK-EASIES MUST CLOSE.

The Northside P1otective Liquor Associa-
Preparing for Next Years License
Court.
The Northside Protective Liquor Associ.
alton has arranged to'watch all speak-easies
and saloons to-day to see that no
liquor is sold. Detective Hesser has
charge of the work, and is determined that
no guilty man shall escape. The Associa-
tion is composed of about 80 licensed
dealers in Allegheny county who make it
a rule that they will obey every feature of
the law, and who are determined that
others shall do likewise. They claim that
the city officers shut,their eyes to illegal
liquor selling on election day, and in order
to improve the dignity of the profession
they will take it in their own hands,
In speaking of the work of the associa-
tion yesterday, President Schneider said:
I'VE are not making very much noise now,
but we are working Just the same. We did
not fare we'll with the last grand jury, but
nevertheless we will continue reporting
all persons we find selling liquor lille
gally. We are determined to rid the
city of speak-easies Liquor dealers pay big
licenses, and it is not fair that persons sell
ing Illegally should be allowed to compete
with them. The city authorities have failed
to force out speak-easies, and we are COM
PEELED TO make our own fight. Besides that we
have a detective who is collecting evidence
for use in the next License Court. Persons
who violate the law, whether or not they
belong to our association, will be shown up
in court and an attempt made to keep them
from getting license again. Our association
has for its object the enforcement of the
law, and it has already done great deal of
good in Allegheny"

COSTUMES FOR WEDDINGS
The Gowns and Trappings Fashion Die
tates for Brides and Maids.


Brides dresses for evening weddings at
home, says Harpe,'s Bazar, differ from those
worn at church weddings in the daytime In
being cut lower about the neck and having
elbow sleeves. A half-high corsage, with
Marie Antoinctte sleeves, is a favorite
model for evening wedding dresses OF the
richest white satin. A notable model has
the fronts of the halfhigh corsage Tapped
at the point, and draped across the bust IN
full Greek folds that support bertha OF
the new Marquise point-lace with corded
designs on fine close meshes. The back OF
the bodice has no middle seam, and is round
at the waist line, where girdle of orange
blossoms crosses it and conceals the joining
of the train, then meets in front and falls
in two long sprays almost to the foot. Ihe
sleeves are puffed to the elbow, and I'M
ished there with very deep founce OF
the lace caught on the inner arm with
orange blossoms. The skirt (without
foundation skirt) has train 80 inches long,
deeply faced with satin, finished with
double balayeuse of lace, headed by
pinked founce of satin; there are four
breadths in the train; gored front breadth
and wide gored breadth on each side COM
plete the skirt. A lace flounce is arranged
In three deep festoons on the front and
sides, headed by vine of orange bios
SONS.
White dresses for the maid of honor and
bridesmaids are preferred to colored gowns
for evening weddings. The richest silks
are chosen for the gown of the maid of
honor, while bridemaids wear chiffon or net
dresses. A white Muscovite silk gown for
the most favored maid has low-necked
pointed corsage with asilver-beaded bodice,
and a chiffon bertha. Long transparent
sleeves are of chiffon, and there are slight
chiffon paniers.

CONFIDENCE RESTORED.
Theo Doerflinger's Conduct Did Not Affect
the Modern b. & L. Association.

| Theo Doerflinger's Conduct Did Not Affect
the Modern b. & L. Association.
On account of the many reports of the
deficit of Theo Doerfinger, late treasurer
of the Modern Building and Loan Associa-
ton, the Association held a largely at
tended meeting of the stockholders last
| evening. Extravagant reports had been
circulated in regard to the financial condi-
tion of the association and few timid
me mbers were inclined to withdraw. After
! hearing report of the auditors, however,
the feeling of doubt gave way and conf
dence was fully restored. The Board of
Directors reported that Immediately after
the arrest of Mr.. Doerfinger at the suit of
the Franklin School Board, they procured
the services of Mr. Bacon, an expert ac-
countant, to audit the books. Mr.. Bacon
stated that he had carefully checked up all
items of cash received and disbursed by MIR.
Doerfinger from the beginning of his term
as Treasu urer in June, 1888, and he had
found deficit of S7,272 26 The attorney
of the association had stated to the Board
that the bord to the association would fully
cover all loss by reason of this deficit, from
the fact that part of it occurred under the
DOHu Vi surety lSSueu pIlOT W MAY 10, loJl,
and the balance between that date and Oc-
tober 8. The bonded surety held by the
association was equivalent to $4,000 and
would cover all loss.
The Secretary of the association reported
that there was a surplus in April, 1891, of
S577 81, and the net earnings for the last
term up to October 5 amounted to 50, 743 A,
making a total of "a, 800 81. With this
amount. it was asserted, the directors are
able to pay dividend at the rate of per
cent per annum, which would amount to
about So, 200, and still leave a surplus of
81, 100 The association holds first mortgage
liens to the amount of $97, ,S25 and stock
notes for s., ,210, making the total securities
S101, ,O35. o
Mr.. James Doherty was recommended to
the board to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Mr.. Doerfinger, the Treas
urer. He was unanimously elected
Immediately after the reports the men,
bers dispersed fully satisfied that the
'Modern" was in good condition financially
and they were loud in their approval of the
promptness displayed by the board IN hav-
ing the statements made so that they would
fully understand the conditions of affairs.
Several shares of new stock were taken,
and some of the Withdrawals offered early
in the evening were cancelled. The future
prosperity of the association is assured as
the members feel satisfied that the slight
scorching they have received, will urge all
parties to see that affairs are kept in good
form hereafter.
