The prospector Disappearing.

The traditional prospector will soon be
as extinct as the dodo. He was pictur-
esque character in fiction and in reality,
and he will be missed. His disappearance
will not be due to the absence of ground to
be prospected, but to the different condi-
tons under which work is now done. In
early times the prospectors were literally
gold seekers. They were after surface
placers. 1t takes but a little time for en-
terprising, hardy men to overrun con-
siderable territory in the search of this
class of deposits, easily discoverable by
simple planning tests here and there, and
only to be looked for in certain Topographic
cal situations, and the country has been SO
thoroughly gone over that the likelihood
of finding anything of Importance in the
way of placers has been steadily lessened.
The prospectors of today give their at
tention mainly to veins and lodes-deposits
lin place." which are much more difficult
to locate. The pioneers used to cover
great distances, undergo almost inconceiv-
able privations and hardships, and at times
face dangers from hostile Indians. Now
it is found that the immediate neighbor-
hood of ones own camp is about rs likely
place to prospect in as one farther away,
and many of the best lodestrikes have been
made in the heart of districts where min
ing had been going on for years.-Albers

WON ON HIS MERITS.
Inspector John McAleese Chosen
Warden Of the County Jail.
ELECTED on THE FIRST BALLOT.
He Will Assume the Duties of His New
Position TO-MorrOw.
MUCH GOSSIP ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR

Police Inspector John McAleese was
yesterday elected Warden of the county
Jail at the regular monthly meeting of the
Prison Board. The choice of Mr.. McAleese
was not. surprise, as it was expected,
though some people did not expect his ma
jjority TO be SO overwhelming, as several of
the candidates were men of influence and
two Of them, Smith and Gang, were men of
large experience in Jail management. The
vote stood ito 4, the latter votes being
cast for Leon j. Long, a clerk in the Clerk
of Courts Office. Although McAleese is a
stalwart Republican it does not appear that
politics had anything to do with the selec-
tion.
The meeting was held in room No. 2 of
of the Common Pleas, Judge Ewing presid-
ing. The monthly bills were first acted
upon, and then the election of a Warden was
considered. The candidates were Leon j.
Long, A. w. Smith, Felix c. Negley, S. B.
Cluley, William II. Garvy and John Nc
Aleese. But one vote was taken, McAleese
getting and Long votes. The members
of the board do not tell how they voted.

| The ballot was secret, so that 1t is possible
some of the members of the board do not
know themselves Just how all the ballots
were cast.
After the result was announced Commits
sioner Mercer called attention to the well
known fact among the members that the
swaddling clothes in the shape of rules made
in 1867 to govern the old jail had been out
grown in o4 years. and suggested that they
be enlarged and remodeled.
WILL REVISE THE JAIL RULES.
1t is urged by some who understand the
situation that the deficiency in the govern
ment of the prison, and for which Warden
Berlin was not altogether to blame, was at
least partially the cause of the facility with
which murderer Fitzsimmons escapedJudge
Ewing appointed Judge White, Commits
sioner Mercer and Mayor Gourley a com-
mittee to revise them. Judge Ewing also
appointed Judge Slagle, Controller Grier
and Commissioner Mercer the Quarterly
Committee. There is promise of reform in
this direction, as it is said that heretofore one
Quarterly Committee has undone the work
of another, so that the Warden has not in
though such in theory.
. rf LIFE OF WARDEN M'ALEEsE.
Warden McAleese is this morning, ac-
cording to the nativity record, 40 years, 6
months and q days old. He was born in
the Thirteenth ward, and never lived far
away from that neighborhood. After leav-
ing school he learned the carpenter trade,
1,n 10
man in the William Phillips Engine Com
pany, which was organized on that date.
He subsequently reached the captaincy of
the company, and remained with it until
March 1, 1888, when he was appointed In
spector of the First police district, and
since then he has been noted for general
efficiency and get-up.
Warden McAIeese will enter upon his
new duties tomorrow morning. He set to
work to make out, his 500, 900 bond yester-
day. Financially the position is worth well
on to over three times that of the Police In
spectorship. That was 81 ,260 year, while
the Warden gets $4,000 a year, house rent,
provisions and fuel added.
A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE
All yesterday morning Inspector Nc
Aleese was kept busy receiving congratula-
tions from his thousands of friends. In the
dllcTHOOH IC pun III LIS blult uldhlLS dr.
rangements for moving into the Warden's
residence on Monday. He wears the honor
modestly and says his election was victory
of public opinion as expressed through the
press
With the announcement of Inspector Nc
Aleese's election came numerous candidates
for his present position. Detective Robert
Robinson is said to be in the lead, the only
objection at present being his want of age.
The other candidates are Detective Sol
Coulson, Captain Dan Silvis and ex-Police
Magistrate Brokaw. Captain Mercer, of
the Second police district, has also been
spoken of for the place. When Chief
Brown was asked about the matter yester-
day he said he did not know just when the
appointment would be made. He will prob
ably make it within the week. Superin-
tendent of Police Weir will take charge of
the First district until the appointment is
made.

The Old Masters Are Neglected Nowadays
for Newer Work.
c. S. Pate, New York art dealer, was at
the Duquesne yesterday. He says that the
80 per cent duty on imported pictures does
not prevent buyers from investing their
money in French and English works,
even when something equally as good
can be produced in this country.
in the case of steel engravings.
especially line engravings, the French and
English artists were vet superior to the
American, very few really skilled artists in
this work being found in this country.
Public taste nowadays runs in the direction
of line engravings, mezzo-tints and water
color drawings, to the exclusion of the
copies of the old masters. His house, he
said, had a Titians copied abroad by we'll
known artist, but there was no sale for it.
He knew of another house which had old
masters stored in their garrets
There was also a good market for fine
sheet engravings but they were not made
in this country. They could be printed
here as well as they were abroad, but the
superiority could not be obtained.

PITTsBURG's FINE CARRIAGES.

A Demand That Has Been Accelerated by
the Opening of Schenley Park.
Few persons in Pittsburg, perhaps, are
aware that this city is only second 10 New
York in the manufacture of fine carriages
and other road vehicles. In talk with one
of the members of L. Glesenkamp & Son,
he informed THE DISPATCH that orders
were received from every part of the United
States for carriages of a superior quality and
style 1t is not confined to this country,
either, as many orders from Europe are on
the books of this firm. Even Japan is adopt
ing the American idea of vehicles, and no
less than dozen fine coaches and 1andaus
are rolling the streets of Yokohama of
Pittsburg manufacture.
Since Schenley Park opened its gates, the
local demand for fine carriages has materi-
ally increased. Pittsburgers are not tardy
in adopting new thing, and the fact is
daily demonstrated that their ideas are be-
coming more metropolitan in regard to the
coaches, landaus, T carts and buggies.
Schenley Park has been the means of bring
ing about new era in the manufacture
of vehicles in Pittsburg

The Unusual Demand for the Former Run

''The demand for sugars has been greater
in the past six months than was ever

mission broker, yesterday. 'EJust at present,
however, the buyers are waiting for lower
prices, but reports from all over the
country show the stock to be low, and this
will necessitate an unusual activity in the
market with large sales at good quotations.
in Chicago the scarcity of cars prevents the
shipment of the sweet staple East, but we
hope this will be soon remedied."
Mr.. Dilworth leaves for Washington to-
day to close a contract with a mammoth

WATER WORKS WANTED
by the Residents of Neville Island-The
Scarcity of Gas Leading to a Metropoli-
tan Innovation-How the Valuable Fluid

Iy the Residents of Neville Island-The
Scarcity of Gas Leading to a Metropoh'
tan Innovation-How the Valuable Fluid
Is Now Used.
Neville Island, which is also Neville
township, is about to have not only water
works but to enjoy the luxury of bonded
Indebtedness thing which that so-near-
and-yet-so-far unsophisticated locality has
never enjoyed during the century, more or
less, of its civilized autonomy,
Mr.. Pittock, who manages the natural
gas company that supplies the island with
gas, has heretofore used himself and sold to
their engines which lift water to water
their ground. 1t is not used as fuel, but in
the cylinders of the engines instead OF
steam. As gas gets scarcer the force be-
comes more costly, at least to the pur-
veyor, consequently Mr.. Pittock no longer
cares to furnish it, it being worth more for
fuel, and proposes that waterworks be
erected instead, as cheaper and more effect
i've and less liable to failure, as it is posi-
BILE the gas pressure may become too weak
in short time.
The proposition seems so acceptable that
it is more than likely all the people on the
island will be ''in it, within few days:
Mr.. Kerr and John Wesley Brown stated
yesterday that they thought operations
would be commenced very soon.
1t is proposed to have an iron tank built
on the Fleming property, south of the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railway, opposite the
head of the island, on an eminence sufficient
to give the requisite pressure and pump
water from the river into the tank. Pipe
will be laid the entire length of the island
and people will pay for the use of water,
either by meter OF according to the size OF
the irrigation pipe they use. The water is
not intended to be used for either drinking
or cooking, as the islanders have excellent
wells in which the river water is filtered
through an immense body of sand and
cost of tank and pipe is comparatively little.

A CRISIS COMING.
Another Batch of Printers Arrived Yester-

Another Batch of Printers Arrived Yester-
day for Strikers Places.
A crisis is looked for in the printers
strike tomorrow. In many of the houses
it will be payday. An opportunity will be
given those who want to go back to work,
to take their old places and those who refuse
to do so will be discharged. This is the
plan adopted, as given out by one of the
principal employers yesterday.
Thirty-nine additional men came into the
city Yesterday morning and all went to
work. This makes So typos and pressmen
now in the places of that many strikers.
Percy Smith said last evening that so far as
his firm and those of Meyers, Shinkle 81
Co., Stevenson & Foster and Eichbaum &
Co. are concerned the strike is virtually
won.
The strikers are resting easy and claiming
that they have not begun to work yet.
They still insist that the majority of the
men who have been brought here are union
men, and that when the proper time comes
they will spring surprise upon the en-
ployers that will cost them several hundred
dollars more. 1t has already been an ex-
pensive strike to the employers, but the
typos propose to let it continue and have
their fun with the employers later on.
