PIPE LINE COMBINE.
Independent Oil Transporters Con.
template Joining Issues.
NO SEABOARD LINE TO BE BUILT
Production Of Mcdonald Fell OFF 500 Barrels
Yesterday.
AW. VA. WILDCAT MAY YET PROVE GOOD

Still another scheme has been sprung on
the pipe line world It seems on the sur
face more plausible and feasible than any
that has been broached thus far.
1t is simply consolidation of all Of the
independent pipe lines in the oil regions.
For some time past reckless contemporaries
have been publishing reports of pipe lines
which we're to be built by syndicates from
nearly every country except possibly China
German syndicates. indeed. syndicates
from nearly every European country
pairing to pounce down upon Pittsburg and
its surrounding oil territory. and carry It
away bodily: None Of these syndicates
The construction Of the independents lines
was started some time ago. They do not
contemplate a line to the seaboard but only
intend to connect their lines and bring
them under one general system. This can
be easily done by forming q stock company
and each independent owner will receive SO
much stock in the company for his s'prop-
erty.
The Producers Pipe Line Company, the
business end of the P. P. A, has line from
the Mcdonald field to Coraopolis. 1t does
not seem able to handle, or rather dispose,
of its oil after getting it to Coraopolis.
A Great Drawback to the p. P. A.
line. The managers are now after an outlet,
and they hope to get it by cooperating with
the other pipe lines and ref1neries which
are not identified with the Standard. To
form this combination they will PROBABLY
build line to connect the Producers line
with those IN the upper fields.
They do not contemplate, however, line
to the seaboard 1t would be almost impos-
sible for them to get to Bayonne. n. j., as q
contemporary published some time ago, as
New Jersey has no pipe line laws, and the
least opposition will block any attempt to
run q line through that State.
MELONS line, or rather the Crescent, in
the southern part of the State will carry all
the crude oil which the independent pro-
ducers will want to transport to the sea-
board.
To build q line from the southwest to the
upper country and thence to the seaboard
would be suicidal, as the Standard discov-
cred several years ago. 1t had two lines
from the upper country to the coast, and
was pumping oil from Pittsburg and vicin-
ity, to Colegrove in Mexican county, and
thence to tidewater. This was too eXpen-
sive, and to reduce the cost, one Of the lines
was moved to the southern part of the
State.
Some of the independents lines in the up
per country are the Elk Pipe Line Company;
the Emery Pipe line, and the Charles Miller,
while in the Southwest the Producers, and
the Crescent will make an attempt to cover
all OF the territory possible.

Indiana's Matrimonial MARI,

During the month of March the Clark
county clerk issued eighty licenses to
runaway couples from Kentucky. OF
this number one magistrate caught for
ty-four and the remainder were gobbled
by the smaller magisterial fishes. From
a cursory examination of the marriage
records on file in the clerks Office for
the past fifteen years not less than 5000
licenses have been issued to persons in
quest of bliss of this nature, 95 per cent.
of whom came from Kentucky. Out of
these seemingly startling figures one
squire married 1900 couples, another
1000, another 1,500, another $50, leav-
ing $50 persons whose religion necessa-
rily dictated to them that they be mar
ried by minister of their choice.
1t will be remembered that some weeks
ago an ordinance was passed by the city
council prohibiting matrimonial run
ners" or ''steerers" from further follow
ing their disgraceful calling under pen
atty of a heavy fine. The new law
caused them to cease operations for the
time being. Now they look upon the
ordinance as dead letter, and business
in this line has been resumed at the same
old stand-principally at the ferry dock
and on the streets. ts.-Jeffersonville Cor.

"That won't do" said the business

to impose on them?"
"No, sir. treat them with the great
est consideration.

Ladies, Bonnets in rheaters.

While aping so many English Gus
toms, why do not the women who occu-
py good seats at the theater adopt the
foreign habit of doffing their bonnets?
And why do not the managers make it
rule that the ladies in the parquet
should remove their headwearP Half of
the pleasure of a theatrical performance
is lost when one catches only stray
glimpses of the stage or part of it, and
has his vision intercepted by feathers
and ribbons that are wholly out of place.
No wonder that the men crave for front
or aisle seats, and look with favor upon
whatever woman sits hatless or wears
one of those sweet little things that fit
snugly on the head, the size of small
postal card and no appreciabls height.
Why is it that some women wear their
highest hats to the theater and those of
less dimensions to church, Mes

IT win Come Some Dax.

The passage of a woman suffrage bill
by the New York assembly was as usual
joke. Nine times in eleven years such
a bill has passed one house or the other,
always to fall by the wayside at last.
This time, however, an unusually large
number of jokers joined the real friends
of the measure, making the vote in its
favor as 2 to /. Some day the ''joke"
may be carried too far, for the jokers
and the bill may get through both
houses. Then, if New York happens to
have conscientious governor, he will
be unable to see any logical reason why
women should not vote and he will sign
the bill.-Priadelphia Ledger.

REFLECTIONS.

crossed the river late one night:
Reflected lay each warning liRht
Upon the waters breast;
And TO my thought they seemed to bc
Knights and their ladies fair to see,
In glowing colors drest.
The knights in golden armor bright
Are only seen when fades the LIGHT.
And ne'er appear by day.
They dance and turn. and come and 20.
With airy motions, to and fro,
The fairy knights are they.
And fairy ladies there are seen,
Some dressed in rose and some in green.
For whom the knights will fight.
You could not hear those maidens dance.
Though you should enter there by chance.
Their footsteps fall SO light.
Where do they dwell2 No one can say.
When morning comes they fade away
Like mists before the sun.
A flash of gems is seen, and then,
Passing away from sight of men.
They vanish, every one.

A Novelty in Menus.

At recent London dinner novelty
was introduced in the shape of menu,
which soon bids fair to become fad in
London circles, and which is original
enough to deserve mention. The eldest
child of the house, Miss Enid Dickens,
isphotographed by her aunt, well known
in London as an amateur photographer
The photograph was presented to each
guest as menu card. The little girl is
represented spreading out tablecloth
on which is the word menu" Following
this word there is room for the viands.
The idea is a pretty one, and it will
doubtless find many imitators, especial
ly on such occasions as family reunions,
and notably in the case of dinner given
for child's birthday. - New York

A Caution About Spring Dresses.

1t may be as well to suggest that care
should be exercised in the close cut of
skirts when the material is thin or of
light texture. Indian silks and crepe de
chimes have been worn recently that
traced every line of the corset and of
the limbs from the waist down. A
woman wearing such dress ought to
be indicted for indecent exposure of per-
son. Yet some do it without immoral
intention, simply from obliquity of sense
where dress is concerned and because
they wish to appear in the height of the
fashion
