MUST OBEY THE LAW.

Police superintendent Weir After the Vio-
Iators of the New Liquor Law-Nothing
Less Than Twelve Pint Bottles of Beer
Can BE Sold.
Police Superintendent Weir will see that
the liquor laws are properly observed in
Pittsburg. OF late it has been brought to
his notice that a large number of small
wholesale dealers are violating portion of
the new law passed at the last session of the
Legislature. One section expressly pro-
vides that bottlers and brewers shall not
sell less than u pint bottles of beer at one
time.
81 have found" said Superintendent Weir,
"that great many small dealers are paying
no attention to the section. Some of them
are selling quarts of beer right along, while
a large number are having big sales of half
gallon bottles. This business is the cause of
dren than all other branches and features of
the liquor business and we will see that it is
stopped.
"The law states very clearly that nothing
less than u pint bottles can be sold, except
by retailers. There can be no modification
of this. 4 wholesaler cannot sell gallon
and a half in bulk or six quart bottles,
though the amount of beer is the same as in
l2 pints. Pint bottles must be used except
where more than Il pints are sold at time.
propose to prosecute all those who violate
this law"
Superintendent Weir yesterday sent no
tices to all dealers in PittsDurg warning
them that if the law is not lived up to prose
cutions will come speedily. He thinks such
actions will drive out of the business n lot of
one-horse establishments where quart of
beer is sold to anybody willing to pay 10
cents for it.

A NIGHT OF MELODY.
Enthusiasm Awakened by the Irish
Airs at the Exposition.
BOBBY BURNS WILL RULE TO-DAY.
Nine Big Excursions Have Been Scheduled
for This Morning.
SOME OF THE LEADING ATTRACTIONS

Last night was Irish Night at the Expo
sition, and many bonny blue eye flashed
brighter, and many brave, true heart beat
quicker at the rollicking bursts of
melody that came from Cappa's band. These
concerts are becoming more and more popu-
lar every day. Seats in front of the band
stand are in great demand. Cornetist
Rogers rendition of Irish melodies last
night seemed to touch a responsive chord
in every heart in the immense audience.
There was a larger proportion of ladies
and children present at the matinee yester-
day than usual.
To-day is expected by the Exposition
to be the biggest of the season
up to date. No less than nine excursions
will come in over the various
roads, and at least 10000 people
from out of town will throng the
aisles of Pittsburg's great exhibition. To-
night is Scotch night, and the Scotch-lrish
element which is to largely predominant In
this section will have another treat and
many an old Highlander will close his eyes
and catch the scent of the heather as the
pibrock of the Campbells and the wheeling
of the bagpipes comes whistling to his ear.

THE LAW TOO NARROW.

Deputy Factory Inspector Miss O'Reilly
Suggests Some Important Changes-1n
Favor of the Men-The Act Not Wide
Enough in Its Scope-Some Observa-
tions.
Miss Mary A O'Reilly, the Deputy Fac
tory Inspectress, is still busily engaged
looking into the condition of local concerns
which come under the provisions OF the
factory act. She has discovered a remark
able fact that will no doubt receive consid-
cradle attention in her report to the State
Department relative to the scope of the law.
Speaking of the matter last night she said:
my impression is that it is not so much
the use in various occupations for women as
the abuse that in most cases affects the
physical condition; for instance, in Philadel-
phia, where the textile industry predomi-
mates, many women are, during the fall and
winter months, engaged from 6:45 A. NJ until
or. NJ, leaving As minutes for MONDAY meal
and 15 for supper The portion of this in
dustry most injurious, to my mind, for
women is in the weaving department, the
working being unusually heavy. Again, in
many of our mercantile houses tools are pro-
vided supposed to be for a SPECIFIC purpose.
1t frequently occurs to me, however, IN
going about that the purpose, while Delng
as too frequently has it been proven that the
cost of a woman's position has been her
desire TO use the tools when wearied from
over eNertion.
"The position, or rather the condition of
our industrial market to-day so far as
women are concerned is undergoing verv
radical change, inasmuch as women are IN
the majority in nearly all the States and
their growing tendencies are to be more de-
pendent upon their own resources. To ac-
complish this they must, necessarily, do
manual labor. The employer being, as is
usual. alive to the times, discovers this dis
position and Immediately takes advantage
women labor. This works disastrously
in many ways. To me the two
most vital, however, are, viz: the closing of
that occupation to man and the possibility
of its being done at IA cost of from $2 to S6
difference in the salary paid the man as
compared with what the woman may re-
ceive. Yes, this is decidedly wrong.
For if conditions necessitate that
women must enter into the industrial
world as mans competitor, then let
it be upon the basic principle
of equal pay for equal work and backed up
py that humane line, which appeals direct
to every man and woman; Live and let live
Through legislation can be done many
things for the Dettering of woman's condl-
tiQn. but it may not be made an exceptional
feature my belief being that what IS good
for one is good for all, and while the factory
act in Pennsylvania is purely one Tor the
benefit of women and children, already
have we felt and realized its narrow con-
fines. Already the spirit of dissatisfaction
has manifested itself, and the result will be,
hope in Il revision, when all Will be COW
cred with a shield which, am sorry to say,
is considered unnecessary in this the land
of enlightened American intelligence.

Something Worth Seeing

Is the view of the subject taken by the Wis
itors to the stand Of Messrs. Hopper Bros &
Co., found, as heretofore, in north gallery.
People were charmed with it at tile opening
night, and they have taken kindly to the
additions made since then, for you are
forced to admit that the improvements are
really improvements that have enhanced
the value of the display. The members of
help them out with ideas; they don't know
how to follow, but they do know how to
lead. Always on the alert for the newest
and the best always ready to give prompt
and courteous attention to patrons, always
prepared to execute all orders with energy
and intelligence, this firm has built up an
immense trade, for they are deservedly
popular. Visit 307 Wood street and be
carried by elevator to the four floors there,
not forgetting those fronting on Third ave-

huge stock carried by this house-stock that
is good, reliable and worth your money

There was only one fatal accident yester-

and unmarried, track walker on the West

PROMINENT CAPITALISTS HERE
To Inspect Local Industries, With a British
Magnate Among Them.

Charles 4. Otis. of New York; Thomas
Jopling and L. y. Roby, of Cleveland, and J.
T. Smith, of London, England, formed q
party which arrived at the Duquesne last
evening from Cleveland. The gentlemen
are interested in the Otis Steel Company, of
Cleveland, q property which was ac-
quired some time since by the English
syndicate which operates under the
title of the Investment and Securities
Company of London. The property was
capitalized at 81, 500. 600 and is owned largely
in England. This is one of some half dozen
similar establishments the English operators
have purchased. The gentlemen compris-
ing the party are here for the purpose of
inspecting some of the industrial establish
ments of the city, in company with J. T.
Smith, of London, who is the President of
the Investment Company.
Mr.. Smith said he had been in this country
such a short period that he felt he must re-
frain from any expression of opinion re-
garding what he saw. He had not had time
to draw conclusions as to the effect on
British trade of the Mckinley tariff act but
he believed the iron and steel industry
would not be strongly affected. The tin
plate makers were not yet feeling discour-
aged. Mr.. Smith said there was always
English money for American property. He
was aware there was good deal of English
capital invested in the South, and he also
knew people who wished they had not in-
vested there.
