GOOD SHEPHERD NUNS.

Their Mother Superior Granted a Special
Permit to Visit Father Mollinger's
Chapel-Some Peculiarities of the Lives
of This Order of Sisters.
Bishop Phelan has granted special per-
nit - with one from the Pope - to the
Mother Superior of the House of the Good
Shepherd, on Troy Hill, to visit the new
completed chapel built by Father Mollinger
in honor of st. Anthony The venerable
Mother Superior will be taken from the
convent to the chapel and return in closed
carriage. The removing of a Sister from
one convent to another is carried out the
same way. The change always takes place
during the night.
The origin of the Order of the Good
Shepherd and the mother house was in
Angurs, France, in 1869, and now there are,
throughout..th tn, world, 100 houses. Of these
80 are in France, IA in Italy, Is in Ger
many, 10 in England, Ireland and Scotland,
9 in Asia, s in Africa and 1 in Australia.
Thirty-nine are in North and South Amer
lea. Among the Northern States the order
has house each in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia. Baltimore, Columbus and Oregon.
The one on Troy Hill was founded at the re-
quest of the late Bishop Domenec, in 1870,
and since the most of these in the Northern
States were established.
The largest house in this country is in
Chicago, at the corner of Market and Hill
streets. The mother house in Anglers,
which is the largest, always has 2OG Sisters.
Not long ago a Good Shepherd Convent
was established at Tripoli, in Africa, for the
purpose of rescuing slaves sold in the public
market. A House of the Good Shepherd
has just been founded at Bengalore, East
Indies, where, in addition to their usual
works, they receive a class of little Indian
children, who are thus saved from idolatry.
1t is impossible for anyone who has ever
been an inmate of convent asylum of
the Good Shepherd to become nun of their
order. The constitution strictly requires
the nuns to be persons ef unstained reputa-
tions, but if the penitents be really con-
verted and shrink from again entering the
world, with its snares and trials, there are
means of escape open to them. They may
become cOnsecrated, make a profession and
remain in the convent for life.

BROKE UP THE BAND.
How the Sight of Lemons Demoralized
Blowers in a Western Town.

How the Sight of Lemons Demoralized
Blowers in a Western Town.
'sDid you ever try the plan of sucking an
orange or lemon before band that was
playing?" asked a theatrical man of re-
porter yesterday. "Well, if you want to
see set of performers go to pieces, try it
some time. 1 had heard of the trick, but
never believed it would have such an effect.
Not long ago 1 was in a small town in the
West. The village band was serenading a
newlv-married couple when L thought
of the trick. 1 supplied several
boys with lemons, and instructed them to
suck the fruit where the players could see
them.
'sThe effect was very laughable. The
man with the bass horn caught the
sight first His mouth commenced to twitch
nervously, then his dry throat suddenly ex-
pressed a desire for lemon juice and be-
tween it all he lost his place and quit play
ing. Other players had the same expert
ence and they couldn't blow together to
save their lives. The boys were clean off
and the music was recommended. 1 have
been told by several band men that lemon
sucked where they can see it while playing
is very exasperating as the blowing makes
the lips dry, and lemon would afford them
great relief

Company, is authority for the statement that
the all-night cars will be running every halt
hour from midnight to o'clock within a
few days. No decision as to the fare has yet
been made, but in one of his recent public
utterances on the question, Mr.. Magee is
quoted as saving the fare would be all the
same, all the way around. There may be an
increased rate ON the Williamsburg line, but
that is also to be decided later.
A notice was posted in the Office at Craig
street yesterday announcing where the trips
begin. On the outbound run passengers
can board the cars at Smithfield street and
expected to alight at Fifth avenue and
Wood. Passengers on the Center and Neg
ley avenue line will be carried as far as
Penn avenue, East Liberty. On the Els
worth and Highland division they will be
carried as far as Penn and Negley. On the
Larimer and Lincoln avenue branch passen-
gers west will be carried to any point on the
branch east.
Three-Cent Fares Bound to Go.
President George w. Elkins, of the Pitts
burg Traction road, arrived home from
Philadelphia on the limited last evening,
while c. L Magee was a passenger on an
earlier train going East. Colonel Elkins
was not inclined to talk about the Scent
fare, remarking that THE DISPATCH had
published everything new connected with
the proposed reduction.
'Is it game of bluff" he was asked.
"We are not in the blufing business" the
Colonel answered. THAT rate was made to
stand, and WILL
at is claimed the result will be that one
road will gobble the other and the people
will be worse off than before"
els that so? Well, a few people are evi-
IDENTIFY figuring far in the future" is all be
would say in reply. Mr.. Elkins had moth
ing to state about all-night cars, but he
limited that the patrons of the road would
have little to complain about. No addi-
tional meetings were held in Philadelphia,
and it is apparent that the Pittsburg Trac-
tion people are in healthy fighting humor.

LITTLE DAvY WILLIAMS D1Es.
The Four-Year-Old Petrolia Boy Who swal-
lowed a Piece of Pipe Stem Succumbs.

The Four-Year-Old Petrolia Boy Who Swal-
lowed a Piece Of Pipe Stem Succumbs.
A piece of common clay pipe stem, about
an inch long, has terminated little 4-year-old
Davy Williams short existence. He died
at 9 o'clock last night in the West Penn
Hospital, where he had been removed from
his home in Petrolia, Butler county, on
Saturday. The child swallowed the piece
of stem about a week ago, but it was not
until he was brought to the hospital that
anything was done to save his life.
DR.. Thomas Mccain operated on the
child's throat Saturday. The stem was
reached with probe but could not be dis
lodged. DIR. McCann was to have made an
other attempt to reach the obstruction by
operating through the chest, but he was un-
able to be present yesterday. Another at
tempt was made by the house physicians
last evening to remove the stem, but with
out successful result, for the boy died at the
time stated. He was stated to be in a
critical condition since the first operation
was performed A post mortem was made
revealing the pipe stem embedded in the
bronchial tube. The remains will be sent
home to-day.

BETTER THAN MARYLAND DUCK.

A Drummer Sings the Praise Of Roast
Monkey in Spanish-America.
sThe most delicious thing ever ate was
roast monkey" said drummer at the
Anderson yesterday, who occasionally takes
a trip through the tropics. Talk about
chicken and turkey, or even canvas back
duck, they are not equal in flavor or tender
ness to young monkey. The natives in
Spanish-America are very fond of them, and
they never hesitate about eating them
They scoop out holes in the ground and
make small bake oven in which they roast
them. Sometimes the animal is boiled, but
no matter how prepared the meat is always
palatable dish.
'grhe girls of Spanish-American countries
are of the type described by Byron in his
Don Juan,' rather swarthy complexion,
with large, dark eyes and an abundance of
hair of the same color. They are very much
fascinated with white men, and think they
are creatures of superior order. I have
seen as many as half dozen of these pretty
girls lettering around my door to catch a
glimpse of me. They are not bashful, and
love to gossip with you in the Spanish Ian
guage But the girls are not very attrac-
tive to an American after all. They are too
dirty and slovenly in their dress when they
do take notion to wear clothes Indeed,
the misses in their teens walk around with
scarcely anything on them"

THEY DON'T WANT DOCTORS.

Russians and Poles Call in Physicians Only
at the Last Moment.
A Russian named Gregroiw, but who
called himself John Miller, residing on
Jones avenue, near Twenty-seventh street,
died suddenly yesterday of rheumatism of
the heart, aggravated by excessive cigarette
smoking. He had called upon Dr. L. Sa-
dowski, of Penn avenue, the day previous
and the doctor told him what allied him,
cautioning him against smoking
DIR. Sadowski said yesterday that the Rus
slams were much addicted to cigarette smok-
ing, but that there was great deal of differ
ence in the quality of the Russian tobacco
and that made inio cigarettes in this country.
''This man." he said, ''was only week or
so in the city. He used to work at mining,
1 understand. He came to me long after
any physician could have done anything for
him. 1t is the way with both Poles and
Russians When they fall sick they be-
lieve they will die if they are to die, and if
not they will recover without any help
from the doctors. 1 attended case of
pneumonia on the Southside, yesterday,
which should have been seen to week
ago, Now it may be too late. They only
call in a doctor at the last moment, and
very often to prevent trouble from the
police"

QUAY'S BEST CATCH
Was When He Hooked Nine Tarpon In a
Night In Florida Waters.

Was When He Hooked Nine Tarpon in a
Night in Florida Waters.
'I see by THE DISPATCH" said Dick
Quay last evening, "that Mr.. Dabbs has a
tarpon on exhibition which he caught in
Florida waters. The average weight of this
fish is from 1O5 to 13O pounds, but 1
have seen them tip the scales at
200. The best catch my father ever made
was nine in one night. When he goes fish
ing he takes small boat and lots of strong
line. The tarpon is like the trout, very
gamey fish, and when hooked soon wears
himself out in darting around furiously in the
water. The best time to fish for them
is at night. In still water they bite easy, and
a good fisherman can land two out of every
five hooked. In tide water they rush at
the bait, and then are off as fast as they can
swim. 1t is very exciting sport to see these
big fish when caught jump six
feet out of the water in their
struggles to get away. They will turn over
on their sides on the surface of the water,
but they soon exhaust themselves
n f'The best fishing ground is in the still
water on the west coast of Florida 1t is
hard to pull them out on the eastern side,
as the tides are very swift.

HE WANTS AN EXPLANATION,
Coroner Mcdowell Mysti15e ed About tn
Identity of a Drowned Man.

Coroner Mcdowell Mysti1ed About the
Identity of a Drowned Man.
There is mystery surrounding the identity
of the man found in the Ohio river near
Saw Mill run last Saturday. On his person
was found slip of paper bearing the ad-
dress of John Hurley, Nb. Brook street,
Providence, R. L, and Miss Annie Cum
mings, No. II Hawthorn avenue, East
Orange, n. j.
The Coroner yesterday morning tele-
graphed to Miss Cummings and soon after
ward received a reply stating that John
Hurley's wife lived at No. Brook street,
Providence, R. L.
A telegram was then sent to that address,
that man supposed to ibe John Hurley had
been found drowned and asking for informa-
ton. To his surprise The Coroner received
a reply, as follows:
'tNO one of that name lives here.
MIsS. JOHN HURLEY"
The meaning of this can only be con-
jectured, and the Cor oner has written to the
Providence police alb out it.

but whenever tried to talk to her about

it is a yeritable fact, and the old doctor

COULDN'T KEEP HER LOCKED UP.
A Woman Demolishes Washhouse in
Which She Was Imprisoned.

The borough boomers of McKee's Rocks
have fresh argument in favor of their
scheme. The great unincorporated aggre-
cation has no lookup and cannot make the
township provide one, and yet, in view of
the large number of rowdy picnics in the
vicinity and their iquor-laden clientage,
one is more needed than in any other town
in the State.
Deputy Constable Zinkhand the other
day arrested at a picnic a young woman
who was grandly, gloriously and violently
drunk. In default of any other place he
locked her up in Squire Bryan's wash
house. After a time a spirit-not that
which came nightly upon Samson, when
he rent the lion which came against him on
the highway from Zorah to Timnoth, but
one sufficiently potent for the purpose
came upon her, and she arose, and with
great violence threw herself against one end
of the building. She got away, taking with
her for some distance the end of the build
ing, just as Samson did the gates of GAIA.
Now, Squire Bryan would like to know
who is to make him whole, as the woman is
non est, and her name is not known.

SOME PEOPLE DOING WELL.
The Furnace Men Said to Be Not Anxious to
Sell Pig Iron.

Sell Pig Iron.
'Business is good with us" said Mr..
Ritter, of Ritter & Conley, yesterday. cat
present we are building what will be when
finished the largest still in America for the
Standard Oil Company at Whiting, Ind.
Things are very dull L am told in Denver.
We will put up furnace in Pueblo this
summer. This will be our third in Colorado.
They find good ore out there, and it makes
excellent pig iron. 1 was in the Northwest
week ago. The business is fair, and am
inclined to believe that the year will finish
very we'll"
Local iron men believe that heavy sales
of pig iron are being made, though the
Valley furnace men when approached are
10th to part with their stock except at
good price, which they don't get. The rate
has stifened little during the past week,
and the long shutdown should put the
market in good condition. The furnace
owners show no signs of starting up, and it
does look as if they are determined to fight
to finish for lower coke rates. The rail-
way officials claim it is great game of
bluff.
