A NEW THEATER LOST.

4
BY Way of Change Manager Gus Hartz
| Option on Valuable Property Near the
Bijou.
Until Saturday last it was within the
bounds of possibility that another new
theater would be built in Pittsburg. On
that day Manager Gus Hartz gave up an
option he had held upon desirable site for
a theater on Sixth street. The site was
within stones throw of the Bijou and the
Alvin theaters, and Mr.. Hartz has had it
for three years past, the price of the option
being. it is said, $780, Mr. Hartz spent
Saturday last in Pittsburg, and said to a
representative of THE DISPATCH before he
left town: CATER careful survey of the
ground here 1 have come to the con-
clusion that Pittsburg has as many theaters
as it wants or can support. Possibly there
are too many now. Anyhow do not think
it worth while to carry out my original
plan of building first-class theater on the
land which had the privilege of buying at
q reasonable figure. Mr.. Davis has built a
theater which New York might be proud to
possess, and there is no money now to be
made in theater- building in Pittsburg L
should have liked to own a theater here,
but I guess I'll have to wait while"
Mr.. Hartz did not explain what he meant
by waiting while, but wellinformed
theatrical man said yesterday: 81 expect
MI Hartz will have theater in Pittsburg
before very long, but he will not have to
build it. He is very anxious to get foot
hold here, and understands the situation in
Pittsburg thoroughly He gave up his
option on the Sixth street property because
he could not think of excelling the Alvin
Theater, and secondly because he is looking
out for another theatrical property in Pitts
burg"
(which theater is for sale?"
''That would be telling good deal more
than is advisable, was the non-committal
reply, ''but can say that theatrical mat
ters are rapidly nearing climax in Pitts
burg, and one of the theaters is about to
change hands or I am very much mistaken" "
Gus Hartz is manager Of enterprise and
ability He manages the Euclid avenue
Opera House in Cleveland, and the Youngs-
town Opera House. Last season he man
aged Richard Mansfield, terrific undertake
ing, and he has had good deal of expert
ence in other theatrical ventures. His
name has been mentioned often before in
connection with projected theaters in this
city. Mr.. Hartz has no connection with
the alleged syndicate which contemplates
erecting a theater on the site of the old
postoffice on Fifth avenue.

A POWDER MILL BLOWN UP.
Two Lives Lost, and a Shock Like an Earth
quake Felt for Miles,

quake Felt for Miles.
YOUNGSTOWN, Oct. 2S.-[Special THE
| glazing mill of the Ohio Powder Company,
five miles from here, blew up at s o'clock
| this morning, instantly killing Benjamin
Kirange and Joseph Maags, the only en-
ployes in the building at the time In
spector Robert Dainty visited the glaze
mills ten minutes before the explosion, and
found Kirange and Maags properly attend
ing to their duties. None of the machinery
was in operation at the time, and the cause
of the explosion is therefore unknown.
Kirange was blown 500 feet and his dis
membered trunk struck against tree and
fell to the ground, leaving shreds of flesh
hanging to the branches. Search was made
for his head, which had been blown off at
the shoulders, but up to this evening it had
not been found.
Maags was hurled 400 feet in another
direction, and the blackened, burned re-
mains were found denuded of clothing
The glaze mill is located in a thick forest.
and the surrounding trees were cut down,
torn and twisted as if struck by cyclone.
AT the time the mill contained 500 kegs of
powder, and the force hurled pieces of the
machinery two miles away. Farmer Ats
gerber, living two miles from the mill,
heard the explosion, and as he went to open
a door it was crashed in by heavy piece of
timber from the wreck. Considerable dam
age was done here by broken glass and
chimneys. Near Leadville shaft, seven
miles from the explosion, considerable glass
was broken. In the city all rushed into the
streets fearing an earthquake had occurred.
The loss of machinery, building and pow
der is placed at $50, ,OOC. Orders were issued
this afternoon to rebuild the mill The
company had the remains of the two en-
ployes cared for, and will pay the funeral
expenses

\ Nlic, and packed
~ them with the
~ best and purest
drinking teas We could buy in
China. ---ssee~r o.
These package teas met
with great opposition from the
trade, andwe were laughed at.
We lost money. Then we
decided to explain the good
ness of the tea to the public
by. advertising it in our
city, where we had been
known SO long. The public
tried them on the faith of our
word, and HE-No TEA be-
came a great local success.
Its fame and trade then ex-
tended to other cities.
AS soon as the tea-men dis
covered our success, they who
had ridiculed us the most, be-
gan to initiate HE-No TEA.
They we're blind, they
thought the package sold the
tea, and they put inferior teas
in packages so like HE-No,
that an old lady without her
specs could not tell one from
the other, thus casting dis
credit on all package teas.
Many grocers gave them up,
and spoke against HE-No to
their customers.
Still HE-No kept steadily
on, fighting misrepresenta-
tons, till by its own goodness
it won phenomenal success in
St. Louis, New Orleans, and
other cities remote from its
starting point, Baltimore.
At every Exposition, where
it was shown, it received the
highest awards.
Experience teaches that
when the people once find out
for themselves the qualities of
HE-No, its permanent success
is assured.
