DOWN-RIvER ENTERPRISES.

Prospects Of Steel, Tin Plato and Shovel
Manufactures Below McKee's Rocks
The Ohio May Be Damned to Make .
Suitable Harbor.
1t appears that the people living along
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway be-
tween McKee's Rocks and Phillipsburg,
have at last gotten something tangible on
which to build hopes of prominence in the
way of manufacturing. For some days past
much talk has been INDUCED in relative to
what company reported as the Beaver
Valley Improvement Company intended to
do at Alliquippa. 1t has been stated that
the company had absorbed Aliquippa pic
mic grove, Logstown and Woodlavn and
that 700 acres were to be devoted to the
manufacture of steel, tin plate and shovels,
and John Mckee was named as one of the
incorporators, having put farm into the
project as stock.
After considerable inquiry the story was
secured from w. S. Kaufman, at the Office
of the Aliquippa Steel Works, Westing-
house building. Mr.. Kaufman said the
Aliquippa Steel Works and the j. c.
Russell Shovel Factory were fixed facts
with a capital of 100000. He said, how
ever, that he did not think that the picnic
grounds would be disturbed, but that 160
acres bad been secured and that a town
would be built, but that town building was
not the primary object of the company.
Mr. Kaufman stated that some of the
people interested beside himself were Forst
Il Greenlee, the oil dealers; j. G. Russell,
Joseph Kountz and James Mclaughlin, the
three last practical steel workers. He said
the intent was to break ground as soon as
possible, and that already estimates as to
cost of machinery, etc., were being taken.
1t Is prevalent belief now that the Ohio
in the vicinity of Allequippa will soon be
damned and that one of the best harbors
in the river will thereby be secured. The
location is also one of the few between here
and the mouth of the Beaver where suffi-
cient level land can be had to build a town,
and with slack water manufacturers can
connect at will with both the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt systems of railway. To the
sentimental there is something incongruous
and smacking of proclamation in covering
the ground where the Indian Queen held
court with a manufacturing site, but as loco
motives are already shrieking in Jerusalem
and at the base of the pyramids, it is evil
dent that this age has but little more rever-
elce for antiquity than had the Indians,
who knew nothing of the mound builders.
Queen Allequippa must put up with the
sight as we'll as her crowned cousins, David,
Solomon and the Pharaohs.

In % representative cities of the United
States there are $40 occupations in which
women are successfully working. Every
day women grow more alive to their new
wants, and the deficiency Is scarcely recog-
nized when the improvement begins. So
cieties for the Improvement or advance
ment of something are the outcome of al
most every gathering. If the want be physi-
cal, classes for higher physical develop
ment are formed; if mental, straightway the
road is made to admit more to the higher
branches Of learning, and schemes are made
and carried through for the annihilation of
the difficulties so long interposed. Is the
want moral. thousand sympathies are
awakened, and beautiful thoughts brought
to bear that the wrong may be righted.
Every intelligent woman of to-day, if she is
active in any good, has some place in this
great school of human progress.-Business

CALIFORNIA,
The Country Of Delightful Winters.

California is the most attractive and de-
ightful section of the United States, if not

Victor Hugo's prophecy that this was TO

his wife beside him in public. In the

Controller Morrow Looking Up the Case of
c. Abbotts Injuries.
The City Attorney yesterday received an
offer to compromise the suits of G. Abbott
Jr., against the city which are now on the
list tor court trial. One day in the summer
of 1889 Abbott was driving along the Allen
town road, Thirty-second ward, when he
encountered some old wires that had blown
across the road, one of which had come in
contact with live electric wire His horse,
valued at 5000, was killed instantly, and he
was somewhat injured. Two suits were in
stituted against the city, one for the horse
and the other for injury to himself, by Alb
bott, alleging carelessness on the city's part
in allowing neglected wires to remain on
the poles.
The damages were fixed pretty high, but
Abbott's attorney is now willing to accept
800 and the city pay all the costs. The
City Attorney referred the matter to the
Controller, who is now investigating the
case to see whether the city can be held
liable for anything.

THE SECRET OF HER GRACE.

The woman was certainly graceful, and
later, when acquaintance had ripened into
friendship, she told me the secret of her
grace. She says that as an invalid she be-
gan studying Delsarte for the cure of her
lungs, and then having learned how to
breathe, she became interested in the art
itself and studied Delsarte to become truly
graceful woman. In the privacy of her
room, clad in flowing Greek robe, she has
twisted and turned and bent and writhed and
wriggled, always according to Delsarte,
until she could perform some Of
the most wonderful feats that
one could imagine. She could
double up into On attitude Of the most
abject submission, sinking upon one
knee and reaching forward SO far
that you wondered how she would ever re-
gain her balance, and then, with q wonder
full turn, she would lift her head to your
face, until you felt that if she were to ask
favor of you while in that beautiful stti-
tude, you would grant the favor for very
love of her and her gracefulness. Then of q
sudden she would straighten out, and,
springing to her feet, would throw one arm
out into the air and denounce you in such
terrific accents that you would cover and
shrink and get into q corner to hide your
self, in spite of the laughing assurance that
it was all play and only Delsarte after all
oh, it's wonderful thing to have such con-
troll of your muscles and of your body, and
it's wonderful thing and a powerful thing
to have such thorough knowledge of the
motives and the motions which govern peo-
pie that you can be able to sway them by
look or bend or touch.
