Col. McCOrmiCk'S Advice Needed

Now is the time when the voice Of the
campaign orator is heard throughout the
land proclaiming in thunder tones the vfr-
tues of his party and giving to his hearers
cheap advice. Politics, however, had moth
ing to do with the advice recently given by
Colonel Mccormick to his friend Major judi
son, who was about to purchase a new suit
OF clothes. The Colonel advised him before
following his first impulse to call on DICK
SON, whose virtues are so well known, and
have him renovate at triflin9 cost his old
suit, and thus save the expense of q new
one, and the Coloners advice was needed.

On SEPTEMBER 18TH, 1893,
Columbus sailed from Cadiz on
his second voyage of discovery
across the Atlantic.
Seventeen ships and 1900 men
comprised the expedition. These
were adventures who gave the
admiral much trouble by their
quarrels. Jamaica, Porto Rico
and the Windward Islands were
discovered and the expedition
returned to Spain in July 1904
loaded with honors.
That the explorers were amply re-
warded for the discovery of the great
est Continent in the world, there is
no question. Your reward will be
equally great if you will journey to
see our handsome stock of Fall

THE ADMIRATION OF ALL.
Solomon Ruben's Building Nearing Com
pletion.

pleUlOu.
The citizens of Pittsburg ALLEGHENY and
in fact of all the surrounding TOWNS will soon
have an opportunity OF inspecting a struct-
ure which will undoubtedly be voted the
"Pride of Pittsburg." Yesterday a reporter
spent much time in noting the work done on
the new Solomon & Ruben building, at the
corner of Smithfield and Diamond streets,
and was amazed at the progress made.
Skilled mechanics and artisans were busily
engaged in putting on the finishing touches,
and when tine doors of this great building
are formally opened the scene which will
meet the eyes of the patrons of Solomon Il
Ruben will be one OF inspiring brilliancv.
The five floors and an elegant basement
stocked as they will be with the choicest
clothing. hats, ladies', misses and children's
cloaks, shoes, furnishing goods, and a COM
plete line of other merchandise will certain
ly prove the favorite shopping place in the
city, and veritable Mecca to bargain hunt
ers. An immense quantity OF goods, coming
from all parts OF the compass, are now crowd
ed onthe platforms OF the different freight
depots in this city. Monday the gigantic
work of hauling these goods to the new es-
tablishment will begin. As soon as unpacked
they will be taken care of by the forces of
the different departments, checked of,
marked and put in readiness for distribu-
tion on shelves and tables By no later than
October the doors of Pittsburg's model
business house will be thrown open to the
public, and the actual merchandising on
new and approved lines will mark a new era
in Pittsburg's progress and prosperity.

Some Very Tame Colts.

and there was no interest in the last few
innings
Some Very Tame Colts.
Anson's team are not by far as good as
teams that he has had in the past There is
still a great attraction in the Captain s
name, bit ttsre is really little left but the
Gsme-how. He does not play with the dash
and vim that used to characterize his eff
forts, and his team generally give one the
notion that they are Indifferent as to results
This was how things looked yesterday, e1-
cept when the visitors by a stroke OF good
luck TOOK the lead. They did all they could
90 to retain the lead, but they failed.
Terry pitched an excellent game, and eI-
cepting the fifth inning the visitors could
do nothing with him. He was little of
in that inning, and as a result four runs
were made by the visitors Terry was well
supported.
Gumbert pitched six innings for the Colts
and then he was relieved by Hutchinson.
The score was tied and Anson had a notion
that "Hurch" would win 1t out. But he
was sadly fooled as Terry, the first man to
face HUTCH" banged out home run.
Gumbert pitched quite good game and
there was some surprise when he was taken
out of the game. kittridge caught a very
bad game indeed and the fielding generally
of the Colts was bad.
In the second inning Smith reached first
on q tumble by Connors and then Bierbauer
flied out to DUNCAN. Mack made a single
and stole second, Smith scoring on Mack's
play and bad throw by Kittridge. Terry
made a single and Mack scored.
The Visitors Made Squirt.
In the fifth inning the visitors made all
their runs. Decker started of with single,
and then Gumbert was hit with a pitched
bali. Kittridge forced Gumbert out at sec
ond and Ryan got his base on balls, filling the
bases Parrot made a single to left, scoring
two runs, and then Canavin was put out
Anson followed with single, scoring Ryan
and wild pitch scored Parrott
In the second half of the inning, after two
men were out, Donyan made three-bagger
and scored on Farrell's double.
In the sixth inning the home PLAYERS tied
the score. BeckleY started with two
bagger and scored on Mack's single to right.
Hutchinson started to pitch in the sew
enth inning, and with the score tied Terry
hit the ball for tour bases. The ball went
right to the left fence. Kelly got to first
on tumble by Ryan and passed bali; a
sacrifice and a wild throw by Kittridge
scored him.
Iu the eighth inning Beckley made a
single, Smith got his base on balls and q
passed ball and a ridiculor wild throw in
center field by KittridgI -Ilowed Beckley
and Smith TO score. The contest was now
over, and the Colts easily beaten. The
