HENRY CLEWS' BALLROOM.
1t Is One of the Finest Private Apartments
in the World.

1t Is One of the Finest Private Apartments
in the World.
No city in the world. not excepting Lon
don and Paris, can show more beautiful
and stately apartments in its r-'vate houses
than New York. The bathrooms of New
York are particularly gorgeous.
The Clews ballroom is one of the most
beautiful and artistically perfect rooms Al
America. There is nothing at all like il in
New York, and it will remain lasting
monument to the skill and taste of the late
John Fl. Sturgis, of Boston, who was its
designer
The room, which is oval in shape and
connects with the conservatory, is 80 feet
in length, IS feet in breadth and 25 feet
high. The style of decoration used is
combination of the Renaissance and Colo
NAL, and the colors adopted in the decora-
lions and furniture are white, gold and
cream.
The double dome with which the room
is surmounted is the most strikingly beau
tiful thing of its sort that has been at
tempted in New York The frieze is
row of dancing Cupids, with garlands of
flowers, not exactly copy of. but similar
TO, the one seen in some of the state apart
ments at Versailles. The first dome, that
adjoining the frieZes is ornamented with a
decoration OF festoons in delicate cream
color on white ground, and beneath the
points of support for the festoons ara me-
dallions, each one charged with the name
of a great musician in letters of gold
The second dome, which springs grace
fully from the first, is also unique and at
tractive in design, and the skyliCht above
it is covered with screen OF iron, ham
mered into an elaborate geometrical pat
tern and enameled in white At night
this is Illuminated from behind, and the
effect produced by the particoiored mean
descent rays, filtered through the screen,
Is peculiarly striking.
The wainscOting is of white and extends
but short distance up the walls and other
woodwork, including the arches of the
four Colonial alcoves, which are let into the
room at its corners and are also of white.
Over the entrance to the adjoining con-
servatory, which is altogether in white
marble, is the musicians gallery, and this
for delicacy of conception and beautiful
workmanship is worthy of the rest of the
room. The base of the gallery is excep-
tionally attractive in design Its decora-
tIons are in arabesques and diapers, and the
series Of curves by which it springs out
from the wall to meet the gallery balus-
trade is singularly graceful
The. floor is of inlaid wood, highly pol
ished, and il is an ideal surface for dare
ing. Upon ordinary occasions the room Is
used for music, and it i furnished with
grand piano Of white marble. iuiaid with
ivory and gold, ana a harp. When the
floor Is not needed Tor dancing is center Is
covered with . GEiorde> rug of great size
and richness Of color.

A great poet, weighted with the weight
of years, seeks solitude in a remote part Of
the country, DESTROYS to live his own life
what is left of it. But the world will net
let him if it can help il. His most ardent
admirers are those who take the most ire
quent shots at him; they come thousands
of miles to do it. They cannot let HIM
alone. Immortal fame is to them what

Reliable and ALWAYS the Same.

BRANDRETH's PILLS are the Oldest.
safest and best blood purifier and pur-
gative known. They are purely vege-
sable, therefore harmless. They are
always the same and always produce
the same effect. Other purgatives re-
quire increased doses and finally
cease acting altogether. A course OF
ono or two Of BRANDREru's PILLS
taken each night is a positive cure
for constipation, headache and all
bilious disorders. If you can't take
them plain, get them sugar. coated.

THE. Money Market.

Bradstreet's for the week ending
January 2, says:
"The New York loan market DUR
ing the week has been as placid as if
January l involved no change or dis.
bursehen,s whatever. The over
supply of funds is in fact the most
salient feature of the situation, the
last bank statement showing further
increase in surplus and in deposits
Borrowers are accordingly very indie
pendent, while the disturbance Of
loans incident to the date has been
reduced to minimum. The supply
of time money is much in excess Of
the current demand, and 33@4 per
cent. for so to 80 days, and Al per
cent. for 4 to 6 months on mixed
collateral being the ruling quotations.
Offerings of mercantile paper are still
further restricted in volume, and the
demand from all quarters is excellent,
although dealers expect more active
market and increased offerings after
January l. Best names and indorsed
bills receivable are quoted at 44@5
per cent. Call money is exceedingly
easy at 24@3 per cent, with some
quotations Of 5 per cent. on the last
day Of the year"

WANT ANOTHER VOTE.

Mayor Kennedy Asks the Taxpayers oi
Allegheny to Vote on Issuing 100000
Worth OF Street Improvement Bonds
Substance of His Circular.
As predicted. in The DISPATCH, ALLIE
gheny is to have another chance to vote on
increasing the bonded indebtedness for the
purpose of improving the streets Mayor
Kennedy has prepared circular to be
sent out to the taxpayers asking for vote
on the issue of 5000, 600 worth of street i'm
provement bonds. The present millage is
81 mills and the valuation will not change
tor two years In the circular he says:
By keeping millage same as at present it
will give us about $1c0 600 per year for street
improvements. My idea Is that we ask citi-
ks Sens to vote on issuing $500, 400 Of 80 year
bonds to be used for street Improvements
onlv. To issue say 5000, 900 per year for three
years. and this with amount raised by direct
ta1atlon .s on SAM same millage as this year will
give US $500 900 per year for three years and
repave over 20 miles of streets with best
improved pavements.
Our present millnge. 81 mills. will permit
the payment Of interest on the bonds, $A. 900
in the sinking fund to pay the bonds at ma
turity. The actual cost of keeping this
amonnt OF streets in reDair as they now are,
would cost fully $4,000. or as much as the
interest, and the new streets will need no
repairs for years and will certainly increase
the value OF property and add to the cleanli-
moss and beauty Of the city. Ordinances arc
now prepared and passed Select Council to
repave many Of the prominent thorough
fares at an estimated cost of S225, ,000 which
will leave some $4,000 or more for streets
not yet passed upon.
1t would require on increase of mills to
pay for these Improvements by direct taxa
tion, while by this plan the burden will not
be felt 80 heavily.

woRKMEN IN THE QUAKER CITY.
Employees in Iron and Steel Mills Out on a
Strike.

The rolling mill employees in Phila-
delphia, like their fellow workmen in this
city, stopped work at the expiration of the
last heat yesterday morning, because of the
refusal of their employers to sign the scale
that has been in force for several years past.
by which 81 As per ton was the basis of nav
for pudding. The two firms affected are
Hughes & Patterson and Gaulbert, Nc
Fadden & Caskey.
Members of the two concerns who were
seen denied that there was any trouble
with the men, but refused to make any
further statement The employees were not
so reticent. The rolling mill hands are
nearly all members of the Amalgamated
Association. This organization has ordered
several strikes in this city, the last one
about five years ago. 1t was then the slid
ing scale based on "a 45 per ton for
pudding was conceded by the manu-
facturers. This scale has been signed every
wear since, each agreement expiring at mid
night, June 80.
Three weeks ago Hughes & Patterson
posted notice to the effect that they would
not sign the scale this wear. Conferences
were held, but were Intellectual, and finally
the Association determined to call the men
out. Representative workingmen say that
while their employers had not intimated
that they wished to reduce wages, yet if the
agreement was not entered into the manu.
facturers might throw them out in the
middle OF fwinter without any notice.

Court Proceedings to Wrest the Admins

Court Proceedings to Wrest the Adminis-
tratorship From Gregor Meyer.
A petition for the revocation of the let
ters of administration granted to Gregor
Never on the estate of the late Father
Mollinger was filed in the Registers Office
yesterday by Attorneys Wise and Minor.
They represent John De Wires Hoffman, of
New York, full cousin of the deceased.
He says he is one of the next of kin and one
of the heirs at law of Father Mollinger. He
asserts that the priest had no brother or
sister or relatives to survive him, except
the petitioner and his four sisters
and one brother. He is the only
one in the United States, and
is 65 years of age. The others are:
Rudolphina de Wires Hoffman, single,
aged Ga years, residing at Amsterdam, Hol-
land, Europe; Coroline de Wires Hoffman,
widow, aged 63 years, residing at same
place; Marie de Wires Hoffman, single, aged
sc years, residing at Kampen, province
Overpsel, Netherland, Europe; Jeanette
Won Der Schaaff married to Joseph Won
Der Schaaff, aged So years, residing at
Baambrugge, Gilderland, Holland; Franz
de Wires Hoffman, aged 45 years, residing at
Batavia, Java, East India.
De Wires asserts that letters should not
have been granted to Gregor Meyer, because
notice had not been sent to the heirs named;
because Meyer does not belong to any of
the classes designated by law as entitled to
administration; because Meyer is not the
nominee of any of the interested parties,
and because the letters were improvidently
issued.
A citation will be issued on Meyer to
show cause why the petition should not be
granted,
