MORE HOTELS NEEDED.
This Fact Strongly Emphasized Once Again
This Week.

This Fact Strongly Emphasized Once Again
This Week.
The Street Railroad Convention brings to
the front once again the necessity for more
hotel facilities in Pittsburg. This city,
however, is not the only one at present
suffering from lack of good taverns. The
leading hotels of Louisville and Cincinnati
have notices posted in the >Monongahela
visit them this week, as they
will not be able to care for
them on account of conventions in the city,
and yet Cincinnati is diekering for the next
Republican National convention. Such an
announcement fills the business man with
gloom who has anything to look after in
those cities this week.
w. s. Brown is one of the bright young
New Workers who has come to attend the
gathering of street railway men. He was
fortunate to secure room at the Duquesne
Club, but he had considerable trouble yes
terday to get accommodations for sew
eral friends. "It is strange" he said,
shat a city like Pittsburg, noted
for its wealth should not have more hotels.
Such small houses as the Richelieu in Chi
cago, the st. Nicholas, that are elegantly
furnished make barrel of money. There
is no reason why another hotel i'll Pittsburg,
whether large or small, but built on a first
class scale, should pay well from the start.
I think ii, would, if some one would build
it,
Chief Clerk William Crosby, of the An
derson, has had his soul narrowed for some
time turning people away. The Anderson
refused to take any of the railway visitors,
because it has enough to do to
take care of its regular trade. ''It is an
outrage" said Mr.. Crosby, Ito bring peo-
pie to Pittsburg, and then not house them
properly. They go away feeling sore AMI
roast the city. 1t is the fault of Pittsburg-
ers'. Conventions ara held here, and little
thought is given to the accommodation of
the visitors. Men don't like to double up
or sleep in cots. What the people should
do is to build another first-class hotel here.
Why the city can't provide for 300 people
outside of the regular business at the
hotels
The truth is that Pittsburg has grown
enormously in the last ten years and the
hotels have not kept pace with the increase.
At the Duquesne they have been turning
people away for the last three weeks.

BLAINE NOT A SICK MAN.
A Doctor Says He Is a Hypochondriac and
Needs Encouragement

Needs Encouragement.
W. B. Roberts, Wisconsin physician.
was passenger OH the limited last evening,
going home. He is a personal friend of
Blaine, and recently saw the Secretary in
Maine. "Blaine is not really a sick man,
he said, 'and if he feels iii at all it is his
own fault and is due to over
work. He has no organic disease.
The Secretary is hypochondriac,
and much of his trouble is due to imagina-
tion. l don't think there is anything
wrong with him. All that Blaine needs is
a little encouragement. If his friends
would only stop talking to him about his
health he would soon forget it. If someone
meets him and remarks: you are looking a
little pale this morning, Mr.. Blaine, then
the great statesman takes it into his head
that he is sick, and goes to he'd
W. P. Bushev. 4 Chicago man, tells a
good story on Blaine, which illustrates his
hypochondriacal tendency. During one.of
the campaigns the Secretary was speaking
in Michigan. General Alger had provided
a special train to take Blaine and the news
paper men to a small town up in the penin-
sula. The cars were stocked with all the
delicacies of the season, and the whole affair
was intended more as an outing than any,
thing else. Blaine had been extensively
advertised to speak, and the popula-
tion for miles around turned out
When the morning came for the start to be
made Blaine had a slight headache, and he
refused TO get out of bed. Doctors were
called, and they assured him he was all
right Alger tried to persuade him, but it
was no use. The General had to make the
trip alone, and to add to his turmoil the
newspaper men deserted the cars when they
found Blaine wasn't going. Alger had a
train load of provisions and nobody to eat
it. He was mad. Walker Blaine apollo
gized for his father. He told the reporters
to say nothing about the illness, as the old
man would be out walking in the afternoon,
and so he was. Blaine wasn't sick, but he
thought he was in a bad way.

RAILWAY MEN ARRIVE.
The Convention to Pave the Way for
a Display at the Worlds Fair.
AN INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
President Watson Praises Pittsburgs Street
Car Lines.
MAGEE MENTIONED FOR PRESIDENT

Every man who walks in Pittsburg is
looked upon with suspicion. The city is
given over to street railway men, and who
ever does not patronize these means of rapid
transit is believed by them to be an enemy
to nineteenth century progress. Street cars
have been given an extra coat of paint, to
catch the eye of the railway magnate, and
conductors ring up fares with gloved hands
that alternately reach out for nickles
and brush the wrinkles out of their
new blue coats. The different lines in the
good impressions with the visitors, for they
realize that no man can foretell the day
when they will issue more stock, and the
money of out-of-town capitalists is just as
good as that of local men.
Although the convention will not as
sem5le until tomorrow many of the dele
gates have arrived. They are here for both
pleasure and business. The pleasure will
come later in the week, when they are to be
shown the wonders of the birmingham of
America" p" The business will be transacted
in the convention hall, and will be of great
Importance.
PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION.
One of the principal questions to be dis
cussed will be in regard to an "Interna-
tional Street Railway Convention to be
held in or near Chicago in 1898, to which
everybody interested In tramway matters
abroad will be invited. 1t is the intention
now to have a committee of both railway
and supply men appointed, to consider
what they think necessary to provide for
the best display possible and then outline
plan. A correspondent of the Street Rail,oay
Journal referring to the subject says:
''Tramway officials abroad are already
interested in American progress in the line
of rapid transit, and are looking forward to
a similar development at no distant day in
all the leading cities of the world The
project on foot for holding an international
electrical congress in connection with the
Worlds Fair will no doubt call the atten-
tion of foreign men to the advancement we
have made, and will, I think, lead to the
organization of an international associa-

THE HUM OF A BEEHIVE

About the Three Local Rolltical HeadQuar-
tiers All Day Yesterday.
There was beehive hum about all poll
tical headquarters yesterday, and the ''di-
rectors'' were at work at usual, but there
were no bulging peculiari les about the
situation The Democrats said that Chair
man Bremen had the appointment of meet
ings, and some of them said he had billed
one for McKeesport tomorrow evening, but
Mr. Bremen was neither at headouartprs
nor at his Office in the afternoon
At the straightout Republican rooms a
point was scored by the employment of
some ladies. The room, however, in which
they are employed is marked ''private" ON
one door and the other is locked, so it does
not seem that the employment of the
weaker vessel is for political effect
The regular Republicans have billed two
meetings for next Saturday night. one at
Lafayette Hall and the other at Tareptum
At the first named the list of speakers has
not been made out, but Mr.. Kirker said that
Congressman Dalzell would be one At
Tarentum four lawyers will talk. Clarence
Burleigh, Thomas Patterson, John Hav-
maker and S. q. Trent.
1t is said that James NJ Guffey is slated
to succeed William L. Scott, on the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. It is claimed
that he is free from all entangling political
alliances. and is therefore better qualified
to take the place than any other man his
equal in other respects,

horses without any stirrups at all. In
any case / pay very little attention to
them and put very little weight on
them.
"This Anglomaniac fashion of riding
with short stirrups and rising six
inches out of your saddle with every
step of the horse is, I know, the fash
ionable way and the easy way, but 1
don't like the looks of it. The long
leg or military stirrup>is very much
harder seat to acquire. You stick
close to the saddle and don't rise the
fraction of an inch from your seat.
Your. legs reach around the curve of
the horses belly and give you the most
secure possible seat in case the horse
jumps or twists suddenly, while with
the short stirrup your knees are above
the swell and you have no grip to hold
on by. Then, again. with the long
leg your spurs prick under the horses
belly, where they should be used, and
do not gouge into the animals side

with anything. They never seem to
get enough. Five rings now. but in a
