ADvIcEs from Washington indicate
that Letto's portrait of Columbus, now
in the collection of James w. Ellis
worth, of New York, will probably be
used as design for one side of the ex-
position souvenir half-dollars. The
government Worlds fair building is ex-
pected to furnish design for the re-
verse of the coin. While the portrait is
not supposed to be painted for life, it is
believed the artist finished his worl,

acquaintance.

In fact, the stone is tied to the ground
tied down by the roots; or, in other
words, its not a stone, but block of
living wood.

BURGLARY and house-breaking in
London, according to police reports, ara
by no means profitable occupations.
There were only 5S2 burglaries in Lone
don in 1891, and the net gain of tho
thieves from them was only s14,562, or
s27.4O lob" Considering the risk at
tendant upon this manner of gaining a
livelihood, this is not remarkably large
pay. If there were only the 1919 burglars
whom the police convicted for this
$l4,562 to be divided among it would be
only little over s112 apiece for a years
stealings, which is a good ways below
the wages earned by the paupsr labor
of their country.

A DARING ROBBERY.

Three Masked Men Beat Michael Lannon
and Robbed His House-Eighty Dollars
and Two Gold Watches Taken-The
Thieves Still at Large.
Michael Lannon, of No. Z Vickroy street,
had an experience early yesterday morning
which he is not likely to forget for some
time He had been down town during
Saturday evening and returned home rather
late. He was preparing to retire for the
night when knock came to the door. Mr..
Lannon answered the call, being the only
person in the house at the time. The
moment he opened the front door tough
looking individual, wearing mask, struck
him on the head with the end of a revolver,
and knocked him down.
The stranger then entered the house, and
was Immediately followed by two masked
companions. One of the latter stood over
Lannon with gun and threatened to shoot
him if he made move or outcry. Lannon
was suffering intensely from the effects of
the blow he had received. The three men
lifted him, after few minutes deliberation,
and carried him into the parlor, where one
of the trio took charge of him again. The
other two then went through the house.
They searched every corner of each room
for booty and took hold of everything that
was portable.
In a bureau drawer in the parlor they Sc
cured about $50 IN cash, and in one of the
bedrooms two gold watches valued at $l75
were found by the thieves. Their opera
tions occupied nearly half an hour, all of
which time Lannon laid upon the parlor
floor under cover of a revolver. The rob-
bers left after gathering in everything they
could take away.
Immediately upon being released Lannon
reported the affair to the police. All officers
were notified to be on the lookout for the
thieves. but so far no trace of the men can
be found.

SUNDAY In HOMESTEAD.

Religious Services in the Min-A Large
Crowd Dispersed by the Tide - The
Storm Causes a FURRY in Camp William
Wall Corrects a Mistake.
The religious services in the Carnegie
mills at Homestead yesterday were con-
Quoted by Rev. NJ. B. Riddle, D. D., of the
Western Theological Seminary. The usual
devotional exercises have heretofore. been
held in the new beam mill, but the restau-
rant, being built within the mill fence, has
SO far been completed that the services
were held in it.
The meeting was well attended. DR..
Riddle used as his text the Scriptural pas
sage: "What is man that Thou art mindful
of him or the Son OF Man that Thou remem-
berest Him?' He dwelt upon the weak
nesses of humanity and pointed out the
necessity of putting greater trust in the
Lord. He made no reference to the present
strike OF anyone connected with it. In the
afternoon at o'clock the colored labor
ers held meeting and were addressed by
number of speakers.
Yesterday afternoon 500 persons assembled
on the green below the town. A brass band
was the chief cause OF their being there, but
as the crowd rapidly increased in size, the
mil mill officers GERS became apprehensive; The The

going on. On the boat were num-
Der of Coal and Iron police. when
the steamer was seen the people
rushed down to the river bank.
The children in the crowd began yelling
at those on the boat. There were no DEM
onstrations by any of the men present. This
was evidently considered of enough impor-
tance by the crew, however, to land and dis
perse the crowd, and the boat was at once
headed for the shore. This move had the
desired effect and the Yelling ceased for the
time being, and the Tide steamed on down
the river. After going down a short distance
she turned around and returned to the
mooring below the mill yard. The COM
ments afterward showed that had any of the
officers landed there would have been
trouble, as the strikers looked upon it as
evident that no one had any right to inter-
fere with them at that time.
The quarters of the Sixteenth Regiment
were gwen a thorough cleaning up yester-
day. The troops were kept busy almost the
entire day doing police duty and getting
the camp in good condition. The rain and
storm in the evening caused quite O furry
among the tents. For a time it looked as
though the camp would be wrecked by the
wind, but the soldiers got out in the rain
and by hard work succeeded in keeping the
canvas to the ground, though all were
thoroughly drenched.

DISCUSSING THE DUMP.
The Much-vexed Question of Garbage
Still Causing Trouble.

The Much-vexed Question of Garbage
Still Causing Trouble.
Chief Brown received letter Saturday
from Secretary Lee. of the State Board of
Health in reply to a request to compel
garbage boats to dump below Davis Island
dam. DR. Lee talks favorably to the pro-
position but says he will not act until the
State Board considers the question at its
meeting next week.
Mayor Gourley, Chiefs Brown and Bige-
low of this city, and Mayor Kennedy and
Chief Ehlers, of Allegheny, held consul.
tation Saturday on health matters. The
Allegheny officials complained that George
Free makes practice of beginning to un-
load his dump boats into the river as soon
as they get below the Point so that by the
time the boats reach the penitentiary they
are empty. As result the garbage is
strewn over the river and gradually the
bulk of it floats over to the Allegheny
shore and washes up on the bank to rot and
breed disease. Chief Bigelow promised to
have the practice stopped at once and to
have the boats dumped below the Allie
gheny city limits pending the action of the
State Board.
