in the order Of their per capita Of admins
tratiye expenditures, by coincidence Pitts

IACKSONS claim to be
able to save you some money
and we will make good the
claim if you will call on US
before the week is out. A
careful examination of our
stock shows that some lines
have gone off a little more
readily than others; and, so
that we may even things up,
we shall quote special rates,
making in some instances re-
ductions of 10 per cent, 20
per cent and 80 per cent.
This means that while the
leveling-up process continues,
So and 50 will have the pur-
chasing power of $40 and

the lines affected by this
sweeping reduction are some

DEFIED ETIQUETTE's LAWS.

Jack Robinson Wore Spike-Tail and
Russet Shoes at a Meeting.
When Jack Robinson made his speech at
the Tariff Club Friday evening he wore a
full dress suit and russet shoes. Few peo-
pie noticed it though, as he sat
with his neither limbs curled up
under big table, but those who
caught on asked "Happy Jack" if he was
introducing new fad in society. Accord
ing to strict society devotees only patent
leather pedal coverings go with the spike
tail coat, but the genial Congressman said
he went in for comfort, and he didn't think
anybody would object to his shoes.
Mr.. Robinson is very democratic and easy
to approach. He has a habit of defying
fixed rules when he feels like it, and this is
a sample of his style. "What is the matter
with russell shoes on such an occasion?" re-
marked one of his friends. t'They look
well and everybody was happy"

All Traffic to the Exposition Grounds Must
Go Over One Line.
CHICAGO, June 28-With one stroke the
officials of the Worlds Fair have: given the
Illinois Central Railroad monopoly of
carrying people to the Exposition grounds
and all but paralyzed scores of spectators
who have their money locked up in prop
erty on Stony Island avenue, between Six
tieth and Sixty-seventh streets.
Under the original arrangement it would
have been possible for half a dozen surface
steam roads to have connected with the big
loop from points south of the exposition
grounds. While the roads have claimed all
along that they would not make any effort
to compete with the Central, they were
nevertheless figuring on a pool arrangement
whereby six or eight of them would be able
to land passengers on the grounds. None
of them can now get to the Midway Plais-
ance entrance of the grounds without rum
ming over the Illinois Central tracks part of
the Way.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Among the %
cabin passengers who landed from the
steamship Tower Hill when she arrived at
her dock in Brooklyn Tuesday last was
Charles Warner, young English chemist
from Devonshire. He intended to'embark
in business with his brother Thomas,
who is engaged in the manufacture of an
antiseptic fluid under the name of T. P.
Clayton & Co. Thomas called ON Inspector
Byrnes on Wednesday last and asked his
assistance in finding Charles, who, he said,
had not been seen since he left the Tower
KILL. He had with him SIC, 900 which he
expected to invest with 7. P. Clayton
& Co.
Thomas has been here ten weeks, and has
made money out of his business He says
he fears that Charles may have been muir
dered for his money by some one to whom
he injudiciously impaired the knowledge
that he had it. Charles knew his brothers
place of business and his residence. A gen.
eral alarm was sent out for the missing man

1t Contains $4,000 Acres and VIII Be
Worked by New Yorkers.
NEW YORK, June pa company has
just been organized, with a capital of
81, ,OOO, 900, for cultivating q farm of 112, 900
acres in Florida. This will be the largest
farm in the world, and upon it enough
could be raised to supply the city of New
York with food. The name of the company
is the San Sebastian Land Improvement,
Sugar and Investment Company. The farm
lies between the Indian, San Sebastian and
St. Johns rivers, and is drained into the st.
Johns
The farm has muck soil, similar to that
in the Valley of the Nile. The company
does not propose to raise cereals or garden
stuff, but sugar cane and cocoanuts, es-
pecially cocoanuts. This will be in the ma
ture of an experiment, as cocoanuts are not
indigenous to Florida. The company is
composed of New York and Southern cap
italists The land was bought from syn
dictate of young men of New Orleans, headed
by Mr. W. w. Wallis, who has some stock
in the farming enterprise, and will be presi-
dent of it.

Alvin Joslin Says His New Theater Will
Be Completed By Fall.
G. L. Davis the, actor, arrived in the city
yesterday on one of his trips to watch the
progress made on his new theater. While
in New York he said he tried to secure an
extension of his contracts with the theatri-
cal companies, but they had made all their
arrangements for the year, and it was impos-
sible. Mr.. Davis remarked that nothing
now remained to be done but to complete
the house in the specified time. He thinks
with the present force of men that
the theater can be finished for the opening Of
the season, but he hopes to put more me-
chanics at work. The walls are almost up,
and the roof can soon be put on. He has
made contract with New Yorkers to deco
rate the interior. Mr.. Davis stated that the
house would not hold quite as many people
as the Bijou, but the seats would be larger
and more comfortable. He claims when the
theater is finished that it will be one of the
coziest and finest in America.

The Chilean lnSurgen5 EmDassador heeps

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Pedro
Montt. who is on a mission to this country
from the Constitutional party in Chile, has
been informed by Senior Errazuriz, the
Minister of Foreign affairs of that party at
Iouiuue that Committee of the Govern
ment has appointed Senor Luis Peiro its
confidential agent at Buenos Ayres. This is
a relative position to that filed by Senor
Montt to the United States.
Senior Montt still declines to say anything
with respect to his mission to this count ry,
but to an Associated Press reporter he said
official dispatches from Iquique contained a
denial of the truth of the reports from San
tiago; coming by way of London, to the
effect that the revolt is making no progress;
that provisions are scarce, and that the
army is discontented. Senior Montt said
the fact of the occupation of the Lobas
Islands by the Esmerelda is in itself proof
that the revolt is making progress. Pro-
visions are not scarce, he says, and the
army, being composed of volunteers, is not
discontented, nor is the pay of the soldiers
in arrears.

A Visitor TO the City Proves That He

A gentleman who was visiting relatives
in this city yesterday for the first time in 19
years, was wonderfully surprised at the
growth of Pittsburg. He said: 81 wan
dered about the streets of the city, not
knowing single person, when all of sud-
den 1 struck a familiar face, and who
do you think it was? Give it up?
Well, it was old Harry Brooks, the
faithful doorkeeper at the Monon-
gahela House. His was the only face 1 rec
ognized, outside of relatives, in the city.
81 said to friend, L will bet you new
hat that Harry knows me. Done, said he
So Harry was approached and the gentle
man said, Harry, this is this mans first
visit to Pittsburg in 10 years, and he recol-
lects you as well as though it were yester-
day. Do you know who he is?' oh, yes,
sir said he, hes Bill Avis cousin, from
Sunbury,' and the questioner collapsed, not
knowing that the faithful Harry had been
fixed previous to the interview

cient Food.
BRocKwAYvILLE,J June 2S.-Apeculiar result
of the establishment of the Johnsonburg
Paper Mills is being felt all through this
county. Before the starting of that venture
wild bees and bee trees were a regular source
of revenue to certain bee hunters'in this
vicinity. The past year, however, has been
absolutely barren of such results, and the
reason given is that the steady inroads of
the mill men on the former large tracts of
Eastwood have cleared the woods of such
trees, thus robbing the bees of their chief
sources of honey supply-the Eastwood
flowers.
Another source of honey-the white clover
blossoms-for some unknown reason are
growing scarcer, and wild flowers, as rule
are honeyless. As result the bees have
nothing to fall back upon but the buckwheat
blossoms, and the crop of this grain has been
lamentably light. Ira Felt is local bee
keeper of large experience, and he says the
days of his business have departed. He has
more fears and trouble supplying his bees
with proper food in summer than he has
in keeping them over winter, while for many
weeks he has not found single bee tree,
where two years ago he had all of that work
he desired.

building of st. Peters Church was dedicated
to-day and the ceremony and parade of the
societies held in honor of the event proved

and James Stratton, Chiefs of STAFF. and II
assistants Aside from the 25 McKeesport
societies several visiting societies and two
brass bands were in line. Prior to the pro-
cession leaving the church the high mass
was celebrated and Father McCrarar, as
sisted by the visiting priests and Rev.
Father Murphy, of the Holy Ghost College,
conducted the services. The dedication SER
mon was then delivered by Father Murphy.

pie Be Arrested for Jumping Trains.
A prominent citizen of the Ninth warJ,
Allegheny, complained bitterly yesterday
about the laxity of the police of Allegheny
and the Ft. Wayne Railroad in enforcing
the ordinance relative to jumping on or of
moving trains, referring to the fatal acci-
dent on Friday caused in this way. The
ordinance imposes fine of from 81 to $40
for this offense, and the gentleman held
that the police should be compelled to en-
force it and arrest all violators
Chief Murphy, of the Department of Pub
lie Safety, said it would take 1000 police
men scattered along the track to put stop
to this practice, and Councils did not allow
him an appropriation sufficient for that He
thought it impossible to prevent the viola
tion of the ordinance.
