The sandrlngham Funeral serrsozt


The wide interest taken in the ques-
ton Of recognition in eternity was illus
trated by the extraordinary sale of the
sermon preached at Sandringham on the
decease of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, the eldest son of the Prince
and Princess of Wales.
The profits during the short period of
six months amounted to no less than
81 300, of which the sum of e650 was
given by the Princess of Wales to the
Gordon Boys home and 1850 to the
British Home for Incurables. Over co.
900 copies were sold in that time--a sale
certainly unprecedented i'll the annals
of profit from single sermon of few
pages.
The preacher has been heard to say
that this sale was not due to his slender
sermon, but to the touching anecdote
told by the princess, forming the prefa-
tory note, and which she gave perinis-
sion to be printed. The substance of
the story is that in 1888 all the five chill
dren of the princess were with her at
Sandringham, and they all partools of
holy communion together. II gave

TIN PLATE TO BE LOWER.
An Encouraging Outlook for What Prom

An Encouraging Outlook for What Prom
ises to BE a Great American Industry.
W. F. Niedringhaus, brother OF the ex-
Congressman and a tin plate manufacturer
of st. Louis, was at the Monongahela House
Yesterday. He said he had been in New
York and stopped over in Pittsburg
bv accident. W. f. Cronemeyer
called on him. Mr.. Niedringhaus
has great faith in the ultimate establish
ment of the tin plate industry in America.
He admits that the Welsh have imported as
much tin plate this year as they did in 1891,
but the prices are not any higher. To make
up for the increased duty they have re-
duced the wages of their men, so
that the American consumer, so far,
has not suffered from the action of the
Mckinley law. Mr.. Niedringhaus says
the Americans are paid 150 per cent more
in wages than the Welsh. He thinks in
two years more that 1000 men will be
employed in the tin plate business in this
country. He claims that in 10 years the
industry will be well established, and he
promises that prices will be lower than ever
before. He adds that the tariff tinkering
and the frequent threats of the Democrats
have scared some of the ma manutacturerH. He
is not afraid, however, that the tariff will
be reduced by this Congress.

BREATHEs THE AIR OF FREEDOM.
An L. q o. Agent Released on = Writ of
Habeas Corpus.

An L. q o. Agent Released on Writ OF
Habeas Corpus.
Mrs. Harry Horne, of Hill street, whose
husband, Law and Order agent, was sent
to the workhouse few days since in de-
fault of payment OF S25 and costs on a
charge of whipping Mrs, Horne, evidently
does not appreciate her neighbors' interest
in her welfare. At the hearing before
Alderman Gripp Officer Devlin testified
that Mrs Stingenlach called his attention
to a large crowd assembled before Horne q
residence and suggested his arrest for the
alleged beating of Mrs. Horne; that he
made the arrest and saw blood on Horne s
person, and Mrs. Horne, somewhat furried,
appeared with baby in her arms, and was
CRYING at the time. Mrs. Stingenlach backed
this statement, and representations were
also made that the nutriment allowed Mrs
Horne was somewhat scant
Notwithstanding all this, Mr. Horne
again breathes the air of freedom. Attorney
John Marion went before Judge Stowe with
petition signed by Mrs Maggie Horne, in
which she stated that the conviction of her
husband was illegal; that she was not CRYING
Murder" and that the testimony generally
was not true. Mrs. Horne also states that
the person who called the officer is un-
friendly to the petitioner and her husband,
and that by his Imprisonment she, Mrs
Horne, and her children, are deprived of the
necessaries of life, and in conclusion she
prays that a writ of habeas corpus might
issue and her husband set at liberty.
Judge Stowe allowed an appeal to the
Quarter Sessions, the hearing to take place
when that court fixes the time. Bail was
fixed at $50 pending the interval between
the time of granting The writ and the final
determination of the case.

one By and BY.
AwARM TRIBUTE TO WARDEN WRIGHT

William Jasper, son of the famous ''The
Sun Do Move" Jasper, has been released
from the Riverside Penitentiary, where he
was confined for three years and half, hav-
ing been convicted in the Allegheny County
Courts of larceny.
Young Jasper is said to have been an obe-
dient prisoner, and every morning since his
release he has called upon one of the men,
bers of the Prison Board to inquire after
the health of Mrs Wright, wife of the
Warden. Mrs. Wright has been declining
steadily and her physicians have little hope
of her recovery.
'I'll not commit any more larcenies,
Jasper said yesterday, ''and I'm going to
keep on walking just as the chaplain told
me-" Jasper then produced letter written
him by Chaplain Milligan, of the Riverside
prison, which was filled with good advice
and concluded with an expression Of thanks
for the colored mans solicitude for the
health of the warden's wife.
Doerfinger Will Make It Lively.
'T'm going to keep that letter, because
everybody who leaves the pen don't get
such letters. don't think Doerfinger will
get that kind of letter." Jasper went on.
showing his perfect teeth, white as ivory.
"Doerfinger takes it a mighty sight harder
down at the pen than did. knew him
before he Joined the gang down there, and
l was his friend. He works in the tailor
shop and 1 worked in the yard, but we got
together often. He didn't like it because
he got eight years and the other fellows
were only sent to Jail.
"What other fellows do you mean?" was
asked.
"why, Wyman and Hastings of course, ="
JasIer replied. "But Doerfinger says
there is trouble ahead for some of the boys
when he gets out He often talked to me
of his trouble, but don't know the fellows
he said were mixed up in his case with him.
He didn't talk to everybody about his
trouble, but he SAYS some others will get q
taste of the same medicine he is taking
now."
An Admirer Of Warden Wright.
Chow did you enjoy your term at River
side?"
''First rate. I liked Captain Wright.
He's boss, he is. In my letter from Mr..
Milligan he tells mo that Elmer Morgan
died down there the other day. Morgan
was the worst colored man I ever saw. I've
heard of tough people, but he was the
toughest I ever saw. He was serv-
ing his third term in the
pen. He was first sent there from
this county for stealing. The second time
he was sent for shooting at William White.
also colored, in church in Allegheny, and
the third time he was sent from Cambria
county for trying to kill man. White was
in the pen for killing man while Morgan
was there, but the two never made up.
They had fought about girl. White is out
now.
"what are you going to do now?" was
asked.
'I've got job working in stone quarry
for 81 30 day That's better than doing
nothing, and it will keep me out of devil
ment. If the sun don't move. what does the
axle of the earth stand on?" the ex-convict
laughingly asked as he hurried away.

10000 Square Feet Of Music.

Not less than six large floors filled to the
brim with musical instruments of every de-
scription-and the very best and most de-
sirable Of their kind at that! Can any music
store in the land beat this?
Tie Messrs K Kleber & Bro, 506 Wood
street, have for nearly 30 years supplied al
most exclusively the musical wants of West
ern Pennsylvania. They have secured the
sole agency for the best pianos and organs
and band instruments and sheet music in
the country. The Steinway and the Con-
over and the Opera pianos are admitted the
very best in their respective order, while
the great Vocation church organs and the
7-octave piano-organs are the wonder of the
present generation. Add to this that the
Messrs. Kleber & Bro are the only music
firm who have been brought up to music
from infancy, and it is no wonder that the
people place more reliance upon their say-so
and their choice than in the representations
of any other house.

CONFLICT WITH THE LAWS

Mayor Gourley Considering Two Ordinances
to Which Objections Are Made.
Mayor Gourley and Chief Bigelow had q
long conference in the Mayors Office yester-
day afternoon on the ordinance providing
for closing up and vacating Armstrong
alley between Fifth and Lincoln avenues.
This is the ordinance which passed at the
last meeting of Councils in disregard of the
new street law. Mr.. Bigelow, it is under
stood, comedies with the Mayor in the be-
lief that if the ordinance becomes law the
parties damaged thereby will have an action
in court against the city.
The two officials also discussed the new side
walk ordinance which was passed at the last
meeting and is now in the Mayors hands
Councilman Ferguson and others are greatly
opposed to the ordinance as it stands alleg-
ing that it gives monopoly in sidewalk
laying to about four firms in the city, gives
the chief of Public Works absolute power
to order pavement to be replaced with
any kind of material he may select, and
cuts out brick pavements in all parts of the
city. The Mayor will not disclose his views
on the measure at present, as he says he has
not yet fully digested it.

Frank Osborne, who was defeated by
John Huckenstein in the primary contest
for national delegate last Saturday night,
said yesterday that he was preparing con-
test which he says he will carry to the
State Convention. The Meyer-Knnkle
faction OF the Democratic party, who, it is
alleged, were defeated by Lee Frasher, are
also preparing a contest to be carried to the
State Convention.
Chairman Bremen said last night that he
mad not been officially notified in either of
the districts mentioned. He had heard,
however, that the contests would be made.
Speaking of the contests yesterday, John
Huckenstein said: "We were notified be-
fore the conventions by John w. Jiles, who
is clerk in the Office of Secretary of
State Harrity, that we would not
be admitted to the convention even
IF We won the fight. so we are pre-
pared for the contest. Of course, we will be
thrown out of the State Convention if Mr..
Harrity is in control, but we are fighters,
and we will certainly carry the contest to
the National Convention. We won our
fights in the Second and Seventh districts
beyond all question, but as Mr.. J1les no
doubt warned us with authority, we know
what we may expect, and we are ready for
the light" .
