o REFORM.
How the Bill About Retrenchment for
Public Printing stands.

How the Bill About Retrenchment for
Public Printing Stands.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. Ex-senator Man,
derson's report on reform and retrench-
ment in public printing came back from
the public printing office to-day and the
senator made an Intellectual attempt to
call it up and secure immediate consid-
Grafton by the senate. There was evil
dence, however, OF the part of the dem
ocrats to postpone action but the senat
adjourned until Monday in spite Of SEN
ator Manderson's protest. The report,
if adopted, while increasing the efficiency
of the government printing office and
securing a better distribution of puulic
documents will save from $3.50, 900 to
100000 annually. 1t looks as if the
democrats in the house were anxious to
call the measure up In hat body, to
which it was presented by Mr.. Richard
Sol of the joint committee on printing,
and securing its consideration and pas
sage before it could be disposed of by
the senate.
By such means the democratic house
could claim the credit of q measure of
retrenchment and reform conceived first
by the Nebraska senator and upon which
he has been steadily working for over a
year.

THIRsTING ON SUNDAY.
New Movement Against Restaurateurs by
the Law and Order Society.

New Movement Against Restaurateurs by
the Law and Order Society.
The Law and Order Society's movement
against the pernicious selling of milk, etc,
after IL o'clock Saturday night is occasion
ing a great deal of criticism. Alderman
Robe says there are six or seven informa-
tions being prepared by the society for the
violation of the law, but thinks the charges
against the dealers are for selling ice cream
and cigars. He stated that anyone brought
up before him charged with selling milk,
ice or bread on Sunday won Id be discharged.
He considers the application of the law to
the selling of glass of milk as stretching
things too far.
A gentleman who had Just gotten off
train went around the city Sunday morn
ing about 1 o'clock in search of something
to quench thirst which he had been culti-
waiting for many miles. He first tried the
saloons, but found none open. Next he
plead with the drug store clerk even for a
glass of vichy, but to no avail He became
desperate at last and went into Smith6eld
restaurant and meekly asked for a glass of
milk. He nearly fell from his seat
when the waiter informed him it was
against the law to sell milk on Sum-
day without being served with full meal.
He sat meditating tor awhile, then with
great deal OF reluctance said: Scan you
give me glass of water without violating
the law?" After forcing the liquid down
his throat he went out muttering to himself,
in not very complimentary language, about
the kind of place he had fallen into.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-23

that he agreed with Mr. Howley, that the
platforms ought not to be adopted, but
merely recommended
Mr.. Lsrkin said he asked merely that the
general committee should adopt or reject
the work of the subcommittee, and after
wards dispose of it as they pleased.
William Dickson, of Sewickley, then
arose and spoke his mind freely, while
many of the committeeman shuffied in their
seats and looked about uneasily. Mr..
Dickson said: "Before that report Is ac-
cepted want to put in my protest against
one clause of it; that is, the commendation
whom the Democracy has followed for ten
years to its sorrow. The Democracy of
Pennsylvania has for years been far away
from Democratic principles. All ask Is
for them to get into line with the Dem
ocracy of the nation. Our party in this
State built up and fostered anti-Demo-
cratic principles under Mr. Randall we
have a club in this city named after him.
He did more than any other man to destroy
the Democracy OF Pennsylvania Governor
Pattison came here and allied himself with
the people who brought armed mercenaries
into our midst. He frowned on organized
labor, and used the weight of all his moral
and political influence against il. would
cratic body"
The Platform Simply Recommended.
There was an evident fear Of stirring up
the animals and nobody had a word to say
in answer to Mr.. Dickson when he sat down.
P NJ. Carr softly arose in back corner and
asked Mr.. Larkin to withdraw his motion to
allow another motion to receive the report
and discharge the committee. Before Mr..
Larkin could establish center of gravity
and arise from his seat Charles Jordan
moved Mr.. Carr's idea as an amendment,
and it was carried.
John L. Sullivan then moved to recon-
mend the resolutions to the various Con-
gressional, Legislative and Senatorial Con-
ventions, and having found second, went
on to make speech. .'I want to say in re-
gard to Governor Pattison," he said, ''that
he merely did his duty. He waited for
several DAYS before he called out the militia,
and when he did So"
At this word Mr.. Howley called out,
1--WE have no strikers here tonight"
NO." responded Mr.. Sullivan, ''but the
strikers have sympathizers here"
"You can't put the Homestead matter
out of this" said Mr.. Dickson. Then some
body moved the previous question. Mr..
Sullivan's motion to recommend was car
ried, and the meeting hastened to adjourn
before anybody else could set match to a
bomb

TO THE OLD CONFEREES.

The Congressional Nomination in the
Twenty Fourth District Transferred
From the County Chairmen to Repre-
sentatives From Each County.
The Republican County Chairmen of
Washington, Fayette, Green and Alle-
gheny counties met yesterday at the Monon-
gshela House to arrange for nominating a
candidate for the unexpired term of the
late Congressman Craig, of the Twenty
fourth district. The County Chairmen
present were Messrs. John R. Byrne, of
Fayette; James A. McGiffin, of Washing
ton; Allen P. Dickey, of Greene, and John
Gripp. of Allegheny. Frank Fuller, Gen
eral S. NJ. Bailey and others prominent in
politics in Fayette county attended the
meeting and industriously urged that
Colonel Stewart be named as the candidate
for the unexpired term.
John Gripp acted as chairman of the
meeting. George W. Miller was chosen
secretary. After the situation was dis
cussed resolution was adopted referring
the nomination to the conferees from the
several committees in the district that
nominated Colonel Stewart for this place
nearly two years ago. The confeeres are ap-
portioned according to the Republican vote
of the several committees Allegheny
county is entitled to IS representatives,
Washington county 16, Fayette county IA,
and Green county 5. These confeeres will
meet in Pittsburg on September s, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate.
Chairman Dicky, of Greene county, rep
resented the Acheson wing of the Republi-
can party in bis county. He was authorized
to call his committee together to name con-
ferees to assist in the nomination.
Before the meeting of the Chairmen ad-
journed the following resolution was
adopted:
That we recommend to the Republicans of
the Twenty-fourth Congressional district,
Pennsylvania, that the committees of the
different counties agree upon q plan or
method of making nominations satisfactory
to the different counties comprising said
district,
1t was decided to make the organization
of County Chsirmen permanent until after
the November election, meeting at least
once month in the different counties at
the call of the Chairman.
After the meeting adjourned General s.
NJ. Bailey said: "We are here to secure
the nomination of Colonel Stewart. Our
county demands his nomination" General
Bailey is one of the most popular Repub-
licans in Western Pennsylvania He served
term as State Treasurer, and he has
several times refused Congressional nomi-

NEW FEATURES FOR TO-DAY.
Allegheny County Teachers WIN Listen to
Advanced Plans of Yester-
days Session Of the County Institute
Interesting Talks.

Allegheny County Teachers Win Listen to
Advanced Plans of Observation-Disclosures
days Session Of the County Institute
Interesting Talks.
New educational features will be intro
duced to the teachers of Allegheny county
now in session at the High School by
eminent educators from Eastern and West
ern cities at to-day's session. Miss Ma
thilde E. Coffin, Assistant Superintendent
of Schools of Detroit, will suggest new
plan of instruction in reading. and Prof.
Emory P. Russell. Superintendent of musi-
cal instruction in Boston, will suggest
new plan of teaching music.
The forty-second annual session Of the
Teachers Institute of Allegheny county
met yesterday, but the brunt Of work will
be transacted during the next four days.
The Allegheny Teachers Institute is con-
sidered one of the best managed and most
efficieut in the East by the educators the
land over. Miss Coffin, in speaking of her
proposed work, said the instruction in
reading was most important and there is
good ground for advancement.
my plan," resumed Miss Coffin, 'is to
instruct pupils in rapid and instructive
reading. 1 favor teacher sacrificing
certain small amount'of eiocutionary science
for the betterment of pupils rapid read
ing requirements AS, for instance, to
teach pupil to read hastily so he may
quickly catch the drift of the subject and
not pay SO much attention to the various
infections. also favor the adoption of
readers containing instructive rather
than thrilling subjects. Biographical,
scientific and similar studies are alike in
teresting and instructive and would prove
agreeable to the pupils"
Prot Russell says music in the public
schools should be taught mentally as well
as specifically. 'The pupils should be so
instructed that they absorb music mentally
just as they do their examples in arithmetic
and studies in geography, etc. They should
be taught by tone instead of by note. If
music is taught to be forgotten, it is q fail
ure, just as every other study SO taught is.
A pupil should be taught to learn music
mentally, and in SO learning they will no
more forget it than they will forget their
spelling and arithmetic.

DEATH ON THE WIRE.

Frederick F. Schmidt Electrocuted on Top
of'a BuiIding-Death Was Instanta-
neous-Touched Ono Of the Allegheny
County Company's Electric Light
Wires.
Frederick F. Schmidt lost his life yester-
day by coming in contact with live cleo
trio light wire of the Allegheny County
Light Company. The United States Fire
Escape Company have been engaged for
two months or more erecting fire escape
upon the back part of Jos. Home & Com
pany's building. On the back part of the
building there is small one-story addition.
1t was upon the roof of this building that
Schmidt and NJ R. Zahniser were working
Yesterday when the accident occurred.
There is perfect network of wires above
the court and passing over the roof
About o'clock, as Zahniser was bending
over some work, he heard a sckening groan
come from Schmidt, who was standing four
feet away from him, and, turning, saw him
doubled up lying over two electric wires
Zahniser realized the situation and ran over
to Schmidt, pushing him off the wire with
his foot. He was afraid of being shocked
himself if he used his hands. When Schmidt
fell to the root he gave three or four gasps
and then died. A doctor was called in, but
cOulQ renQer no assistance.
Schmidt's body was removed to the
morgue before 2 o'clock. During the
afternoon Schmidt's father came to the
morgue and identified the boy, saying
he was but Is years Of age.
several of the Allegheny County Light
Company's people visited the morgue and
examined the remains for marks of the
burning The only marks found on the
body were on the right hand.
Mr.. Miller, of the Allegheny County
Light Company, said: 81 cannot account
for the accident. The wires were fully in
sulated, being the standard underground
wire, and we cannot think it possible that
such an affair as this could occur" When
told that the officials of the fire escape
company claimed that they had notified
the Allegheny County Light Com
pany to place the wires in
different position and that the men
sent by the company did not follow
the instructions given by their men. Mr..
Miller said, II think it was about two
months ago we received word from that
company to remove some of our wires on
Horne's building. We sent our men, and
they fixed the wires under the direction of
one of the men who had charge of the
work"
The wires which caused the young mans
death run from the wall of the Hotel
addition, and could hardly be avoided by
been warned to keep away from the wires
several times during the morning. Schmidt
was q single man, and had been in the en-
ploy of the United States Fire Escape Com
peny for four weeks. He resided with his
father at 563 Ohio street Allepheny

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED BY A HAM

The Coroner's Jury Returns a Verdict on
Elijah Woods Death.
Magistrate Gripp yesterday afternoon
concluded the inquest in the case of Elijah
Woods, who died suddenly at S. L. Mar
shells store on Diamond street Friday.
The mystery surrounding his death was
cleared up when Ida Donley, a girl em-
ployed in the store. gave her .estimonythat
she had accidentally knocked ham down
the elevator shaft and it struck Woods on
the head.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental
death, and censured Miss Donley for care
lessness. They also censured the firm for
not providing a guard on the elevator shaft.
