THE NEW BOULEVARD.
Now Being Surveyed and Will Be
Built Quickly as Possible.
CONNECTING The TWO BIG PARKS.
Affected Property Holders ALI Anxious fol-
Work to Begin.
THE LINE OF The PROPOSED ROUTE

There seems to be no longer any doubt
about the construction of the grand boule-
ward driveway connecting Schenley and
Highland Parks Chief Bigelow talked of it
few months ago as q possibility. Now
it looks like . settled fact. Hardly
q day passes but some of the property
holders through whose lands it
will run call at the City Engineers Office
and urge him to hurry the work forward,
They willingly offer the necessary ground
from their property to m AXE the SO-foot
driveway which Chief Bigelow has planned
and the required city legislation cannot be
secured quickly enough to suit them.
The City Engineer has had corps of men
at work making q survey of the proposed
boulevard for some time. Since they began
some changes have been made in the
original plans
Making . Survey Of the Route.
Their work has been confined to that part
of the new road between Frankstown ave-
nue. and the lower end of the Negley's Run
Valley, and that part of it has been nearly
finished There is stretch of mile and a
half from Finley's Lake to the Allegheny
Valley Railroad down through the course of
Negley's Run. The next stem tn be

main sewer Wnen 1T is completed
and the water ofthe small run or creek is
diverted into it, there will be an excellent
place for the proposed roadway. The pro-
posed grade is only per cent incline at
certain places and at others none at all. At
the lower end OF the beautiful valley there
will be loop of graceful curve and at the
upper end there will be a symmetrical
circle around Finley's lake.
From Frankstown avenue near Finley's
lake the present Fifth avenue will form a
part of the connection of the two parks to
Penn avenue, preserving its present width
of 60 feet. This will be the only part of
the proposed boulevard which will be less
than so feet wide, and the name of il will
be changed from Fifth ayenne tn Raecbvood

A BOON FOB RIDERS.
An Enthusiastic Whce!man Invents an
Umbrella for Cyclists.

An Enthusiastic Whee!man Invents an
Umbrella for Cyciists
j. Edwin Baker, of Sixth street. is man
who takes q great deal of interest in bicy-
cling. He knows what it is to climb hill
on a hot day with the sun away up in the
nineties and playing tattoo on the brain,
or to be caught in thunder shower on a
country road several miles from house or
barn. These are some of the trials. that
poster the pleasant life of bicycle rider.
To remedy these evils Mr.. Baker has in
vented what he calls bicycle umbrella 1t
is intended for male or female, the ones for
the ladies can be distinguished by their
gaudy colors This is something that riders
have needed.
The umbrella is like any other de.
signed to keep off sunshine or rain. The
attachment to the machine is light and
simple. 1t consists of an upright rod bent
over at the top. The umbrella can be ar
ranged to cover the body in any position.
1t moves up and down on the rod, and is
fastened with clamp. In going up hill
the rider can put the umbrella directly in
front to ward off the suns rays. or at his
back, as OCCASION may require. Mr..
Squires created a sensation at the annual
meeting of the association in Washington
by appearing with one of the umbrellas on
his wheel. 1t was much admired, and all
sorts of questions were asked about it.

Named at . Meeting of q. A. r. Men and
Citizens.
A meeting was held last night at Post
161, G. A. R., Hall, 40 West Diamond
street, Allegheny, at which William G..
Griffith was Endorsed as . candidate for
Mayor of Allegheny, to succeed Mayor
Kennedy next spring. 1t is intended by
the g. A r. men to push Comrade Griffith
to the front as a"people's or citizens" can
didate. The soldiers state that he is
not their choice simply because he is
a veteran, but is their choice as q
citizen. 1t was upon this principle that the
meeting was called.
1t appeared at first that there would not
be a representation large enough to give
the occasion the dignity it should have.
Shortly before 9 O'Clock there were only six
persons present. Shortly afterward more
persons entered. and when the call to order
was made there we're present about 40
persons, including members Of the Grand
Army, IL members of the JE O. o. A. M. +,
and other persons irrespective Of any or
ganization.
Captain j. z. Barbour was called to the
chair and Charles F. Sheriff acted az secre-
tary Walter Fitzgerald, q representative
of Peerless Council, of the American Me-
cbanics, stated that there were present in
the room a number of American Mechanics
and that they wished through him to signify
the pleasure they had in learning of the
candidacy of Mr.. Griffith and that they
would support him.
A letter was read from Mr.. Griffith recit-
ing that as he had frequently been asked to
consent to the use of his name as candi-
date for the nomination he was ready to
comply Herewith.
A motion was made that the meeting in
dorse Mr.. Grifith's candidacy. This was
assented to and the body adjourned until
next Saturday, when plan will be agreed
upon to further the campaign. Com
mittees will be appointed and on
the Saturday following general
mass meeting will be held andward officers
will be chosen to boom Mr.. Griffith.
The candidate is a well-known business
man of Allegheny, and was connected with
the One Hundredth Pennsylvania Volun-
teers.
Pursuant to this action there is move
ment on foot among a number of G. A. r.
men to again place Major TYLER in nomina-
tion. His defeat by Mayor Kennedy, it is
said, has not weakened his popularity.

NEW RECRUITS SCARCE.

Decreased Every Day.

The Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, Se-
cure No More Workmen LOT Their Up
per Union Mills and Their Force Is Being
Decreased Every Day.
Lawrenceville workmen are still engaged
in persuading the non-union workmen to
leave the Upper Union Mill Last evening
they induced five more men to abandon the
works. While this is continually goi ng on
it seems that the Carnegie Steel Company
are getting no new recruits. 1t is reported
that in the past - hours tine force in the
mill has not been increased by one new
man.
The Finance Committee held a meeting
yesterday from 10 o'clock in the morning
until in the afternoon. The entire time
was devoted to considering relief claims and
distributing funds among striking workmen.
One of the Press Committee declares that
the report that a break was contemplated
bv some of the men is untrue. If an ything,
they are stronger than ever. When asked
if it was true that they expected co-opera-
tion from the Switchmen's Union, he re-
piled: "We will have no joint meet
ing with the switcamen, but some
of the prominent members of the
Union have been visited. They will prob
ablv call a meeting, at which one of our
representatives will be present to see what
can be done for the Amalgamated AssocIa-
tion in the way of helping us in this strike
Tomorrow there will be a general mass
meeting at St. Johns Hall, on Thirty-sec-
.ond street All the Lawrenceville men will
be present President Gompers, of the
Federation of Labor, and President Nc
Guire, of the brotherhood of Carpenters,
together with their colleagues, will be
asked to attend. The meeting will be called
at . o'clock in the afternoon.
One of the men vino was induced to leave
his position in the Union Mills yesterday
said: "AIl but the pudding mills are in
operation after fashion. One scrap mill
furnace has been closed down for repairs.
the bottom having been ruined by some
workmen unacqualnted with the work. In
place OF this furnace they have started one
in a distant part of the MILL" The
Teemer brothers who, it is alleged, were
assaulted bv several strikers yesterday morn
ing. according to this mans statements are
badly bruised One of them has a big strip
# plaster on the back of his head which
overs bad wound. The Press Committee
re inclined to believe that the story Of the
ssault is a ruse. They say the Teemer
rothers are known to carry revolvers and
u case of a fight it is probable that they
yould have used them.

Since the campaign of last fall nothing

Secretary Frank Guffey was asked yester-

Nothing tor the present." he replied.
''The weather is too hot for political work,
but I suppose we will be heard
from later on. 1 do not know whether
the organization will be revived or allowed
to lapse. The plan is very good one, and
I understand is modelled after Tammany in
New York. The people in the association
are not In politics for spoils, but the good
of the party. 1t is always difficult to hold
the interest under such circumstances. The
man who is in politics for the money in the

I hope that the organization will be con-

Billy PeaseIey,s Latest Invention.

Bill Peaseley stepped in The Standard
office the other day to say that he is con-
sulting with Fred Decker in regard to his
invention of anti-kneebagging trousers.
The device consists of having the legs but
toned on band just below the pockets, so
that when the bagginess becomes notice
able the legs are unbuttoned from the band
and turned. The bagginess then consists
of an indentation that befits the bending of
the knee at the same time lending the
charm of picturesque effect. They are also
reversible, end for end, so that the bottoms
can be worn at the top and the tops at the
bottom. Selecting cloth similar on both
sides, the legs can be turned inside out
-one or both-making the legs almost in
destructible.
Another economic feature is that they
are peculiarly adapted for warm weather,
as the legs can be detached and the trunk
worn la Knickerbocker. Every one Wis
iting the seaside should have pair for
wading purposes, or with a neglige shirt
they can be eXtemporized into bathing
costume. Buttoned together they can be
used as convenierlt bag for transporting
clans. Being interchangeable, any dude
can wear a different pattern on each leg
SO that by walking by his dariing's win
dow he is able, on his return, to give the
impression that he has changed his clothes
in a neighboring alley. At night the
trunks and one leg can be rolled up and
stuffed into the other leg, thus forming 9
comfortable pillow. Bill then said "good
night" and started to leg it home.-West
