clared to be good reason why dividends
should not be paid, took effect long ago,
and should have suspended dividends at
the beginning of the year.
Of course no one need assert that the
other dividends were paid when Mr..
Gould had stocks to sell at high prices,
and that this one is passed because he has
sold out and is now ready to buy at low
figures. Such an intimation of the stock
methods of corporate manipulation would
be superfluOus, as is also the idea that
when Mr.. Gould has got all the stock he
wants a much more enticing statement
may be Forthcoming.

Better Tenenents Needed.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
1 hope it is not too late to call Miss
O'Reilly's attention to the homes Of the
working men and women, in her desires and
efforts to help them and save them from the
tyranny and rapacity of employers. There
can be no permanent benefit to the wage
workers if their homes are not comfortable
and if they are not properly provided with
ihe necessities of life. The close crowding
of families in the tenement houses built for
the workmen near the large establishments,
cannot but result in the fostering of vices
and are the very hotbed of evil and degra-
dation. They are worse than the oppression
of employers in their effects on the young.
1 hope that if Miss O'Reilly has not already
paid attention to this subject she will do so
at once. W. 5. p.

THE coat t-of-arms has become an issue in
the New York campaign. 1t has been dis
covered that the Democratic candidate in
dulges in the Stiffness of an escutcheon in
which a considerable number of crows are
rampant: and the New York Press is going
for him with the sharpest shafts of partisan
Indignation. We are glad that his sin has
found linn out; but will the esteemed Press
be equally severe on Republican million
aires who indulge in the same idiocy?

IT is rather surprising to learn that the
Democratic committee from New York IS
sending out appeals for contributions to the
d emocratic campaign fund, with the plea
that the new ballot reform law will make
the campaign more expensive. OF course, if
this is true the Republicans will also re-
quire moro funds. But one of the distinct
purposes of ballot reform is to do away with
the excuse for big campaign funds. Is it
possible that the kind of ballot reform which
David Bennett Hill dictated to the State OF
New York with SO much care has reformed
campaign expenses the wrong way?

THE Presidents check to the New Y

The President S check to the New ork
State Committee, with the presumption that
similar checks have been sent to Ohio and
Massachusetts, is construed by q Democratic
journal to be an intimation to the Cover
ment clerks that they are expected to "vol-
UNFAIRLY contribute" Perhaps fair con-
struction of it would be that those are ex-
pected to contribute who draw as good q
salary as the President and are as anxious to
have it continue till 1898.

The Effect of the Wool Tariff,


The Mckinley tariff on wool will give EN-
ployment to 150 more men in a single Cleve-
laud establishment, while it has put in
operation dozens of wooden mills all over
the country that were Improbable before,
yet the free traders say the protective tariff
retards the development of wooden manu-
featuring in this country.

of this area of high temperature.

A Big Hotel Needed Badly.

-''The only thing lacking here" said
Thomas Arllwright, of New York and Du-
luth, yesterday, "as far as 1 have noted,
Pittsburg is Il hotel worthy of its wealth and
size. There are good hotels here 1 don't
deny; quite good enough for me, but they
are overcrowded, and on occasions like the
Democratic Club Convention altogether in
adequate. What Pittsburg needs is a hotel
on the big lines of the latest structures
in New York and Chicago; house
that could absorb convention crowd
without gorging, and give the peo-
pie who would be willing to pay for
them some of the luXuries of hotel life
When the Chicago exposition opens, thou
sands of travellers will pass through Pitts
burg and believe great many more would
stop few days here if they knew that a
hotel equipped with every convenience and
comfort was at hand to receive them. If the
opportunity to make a great stroke of busi-
ness, which L am sure the building of
large modern hotel would constitute, were
realized, there would be wild rush of capi-
talists to get in. Three months ago in Bos-
ton a banker told me of some plan lie had in
Whether anything is to come of that plan L
am not able to say, but now that Pittsburg
appears to be OH the high road to an ex-
tended term of prosperity the circumstances
could hardly be more favorable"
Inquiry among the real estate men did not
develop any news of the project originating
in Boston, but of the plan to build an i'm
mense modern hotel on the Speer property,
between Penn avenue and Duquesne way,
one of the interested parties said: Nothing
has been done in the matter during the
heated term because the pricipal moneved
men of the town to whom we look for caDital
have been away. Very soon l expect some
futher action. and the hotel is to be built on
burgers will not come forward, capitalists
elsewhere will be invited to take hold.''

FAIR WOMAN'S WORLD.
Items OF Interest to Society and the People
Who Make 1t.

| Exposition parties and Exposition bonnets
are the fads at present. 1t no doubt seems
to country visitors that city life is perpet-
ual dress parade. and that Pittsburg Deaux
and bellies are the drum majors heading fne
| procession. To do this effectively the girls
| must have pretty bonuets, - here are rev
| ideas to help the dear creatures out: All
| evening Donnets for young ladies are IN the
| long toque shape. The brims are of black or
| dark velvet, while the crowns are OF the
! most delicate tfnts of any color that VIII suit
| the fancy or complexion of the wearer.
| There is much gold and silver material USED
for this purpose. Very often the crowns are
| entirely composed of lovely jewel passe-
| meDterie, which shows to advantage by gas
| light.
Among the shapes for middle-aged ladies
the horseshoe is preferred. A very becom-
ing bonnet is of gold bullion, thickly stud
| ded with pearls. a black aigrette in clus-
| ter of fine black lace is perched on top near
| the front. while the ties are of lace. The
! whole makes Il very graceful headcovering.
1t may be Interesting to the girls TO learn
| that their best winter bats will be all black,
| every bit. Black velvet. ostrich feathers
and jet passementerie will be used i'll abund-
ance. So the girls with glossy, golden-brown
| locks and peach-like compilations may look
| forward to u winter of many conGuests:
| Besides the black hats for street wear all
| the dark rich shades of brown Will be used,
| with Il dash of color-red or yellow-wher-
| ever it will be most becoming to the wearer.
| The shapes are medium size. Fur will be
| used n great deal next winter to edge hats
and bonnets and boa of the same fur as is
used on the hats and bonnets will be worn
with them.

A Bicyclist's Mishap.

These are days when bicyclists abound
and are glad. The roads about Pittsburs
and Allegheny are in better shape for wheels
than they have ever been before, and of
course this clear, fairly cool October weather
is perfection itself. Yet with all these things
so favorable to the sport an Allegheny
bicylist had a tragic experience on the
Perrysville road few days ago. He was
spinning along at very decent speed, the
west was empurpled, and q cool wind as
well as the failing light told of evenings
approach.
Suddenly he saw in front of him
sitting in the dust, something alive. A rab-
bit he said to himself and unconsciously
increased his speed. The animal began TO
run before the bicycle came up, and kent uD
Il steady gait about dozen yards ahead
The bicyclist spurted. The rabbit did the
same. So it went on for half a mile and the
bicycist was going as hard as he knew how.
He was gaining rapidly when the rabbit
turned Off at right angles from the road.
Then something happened that made the
Dicyclist remember the proverb which saws
"All that run are not rabbits" and he
hadn't chance to forget that some of them
are polecats until he mad buried his clothes
and bathed abundantly. And some of the
clothes bear the initial A. Il. whereat the
youth OF Allegheny may smile
