establish a freight bureau to permanently
foster this city's interests in such matters
has not met with the support 1t merits.
There is lack of responsiveness on the part
of the public for whom advantages are be-
ing sought which is at the same time short
sighted and dfscreditable. Without strong
united action no great improvement can be
secured for the city, With it there is moth
ing within reason that is not obtainable. 1t
is time for Pittsburgers to recognize the
identity of their interests with those of the
city and work more vigorously for both.

IRON MEN FEEL DUBIOUS.
What Well-Known Columbus Manufact.
urer Says of Political Prospects.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1L-Relatlve to the re-
port that the well-known iron firm King,
Gilbert 6 Warner, who have three furnaces
at Middleport and contemplated a reduction
in the wages of the mill employees 10 per
cent as result of the election, and that they
had orders for millions OF tons OF steel
countermanded since Tuesday. MIR. Gilbert,
President of the company, saws the report
about the reduction of wages is wholly un-
authorized, but declined to say whether
such a reduction in wages was contem-
plated.
He said they would stay in the business so
long as it paid; but If foreign goods are
allowed in this country at less price than
can be manufactured here, then the men in
business in this country would either have
to quit or the workmen work for
less wages. Mr.. Gilbert said sew
eral contracts and orders for steel
had been countermanded since the election.
In view of wnat the Democrats had claimed
about the new American tin plate business,
the men interested do not feel like putting
tine money into it that would be required.
His company had been furnishing abuut 100
tons OF steel month for this industry, and
the orders had been countermanded.

BIELA's COMET COMES BACK.
A Periodical Visitor Broken Into Meteors
Reappears Partly Reunited.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. n-Advices from the
European Union of Astronomers hint at the
fact that Prof Berberich, of Berlin, consid-
ers the newly discovered Holmes comet as
probably identical with that of Biela's.
This, if substant tiated, will be of the great
est assistance to astronomers. The comet
was originally discovered IN 1772 by Man
taigne at Lioges. Its periodicity was estab-
lished by Biela at Joseph-Stad, Bohemia, in
1926 Its successive appearances were
watched with great interest, but its posi-
tion in proximity to the sun prevented its
observation on several of its returns.
In 1S40 1t was see rs a faint neDula, and
was observed to separate into two portions.
On its next return. in 1852, the two compan-
ions were discernible, but widely separated,
and since that time it has not been seen. In
1872 q stream of meteors was noted. the or
bit of which agreed with that of the comet,
and an interesting relationship was at once
esta ablished. The possibility that the
higher comet, transformed into stream of
meteors, is once again visible to us as
comet, is OF exceeding interest and of value
as well, as a step toward the solution of the
mystery surrounding those wanderers of
the sky.

CRAZED BY POLITICS.
McKeesport Lunatic Couldn't Stand the
Strain of the Campaign.

MoKEEsPoRr, Nov. 11-[Specidll-Wil
Ferrington, OF this city, recently returned
from Dixmont Hospital for the Insane, has
again lost his reason, and the case is con-
sidered probably hopeless. MIR. Pennington
has been prominent in business, social and
church affairs.
His insanity dates back to political DEM
onstration at Wheeling which he attended
early in the campaign He returned, show
ing unmistakable signs of mania which cul-
minated in wild escapade in the
streets. He was taken to DiXmont and
appeared to regain his mental balance al
most as rapidly as he had lost it,. few
days before the election he WAS brought
home, and all efforts to keep him out OF
politics were futile. The excitement Of the
election and the anxiety atten ding the re-
suit again overthrew his reason, and the re-
lapse was complete. He has been returned
to the ASYLUM.

THE usual lack of backwardness in COM

in evidence. The light-wefghts generally

their falling out before the desired goal OF
office is reached.

IT IS natural that a combination which
has given evidence of such law-defying
powers of absorption as the Reading system
should be credited with intentions TO ex-
tend its ramitications here, there and every
where. So long as the bottom is not knocked
out of the evil by the courts, nothing is
much too wild to afford basis for a rumor of
its further growth.
