ness,which has always presented an attract
i've appearance, has for some tfme been in
the hands of decorators and paper hangers
and now assumes an aspect which makes
the word "parlors," rs applied to the firms
title, appropriate indeed. It is seldom one
sees such q presentable combination OF golG,
silver and bronze decorations in ceiling ef-
fects, which, together with the wall-siZed
mirrors, impresseS one with the fact that
the firm has certainly spared no pains or ex-
pense to make each OF the four floors of
their building an attractive place to visit.
The latest improved elevator service is in
vogue. The Misfit Clothing Parlors are to

sight of the warning factions the crowd scat
tered and no arrests were made.

STOLEN BY AN ACTRESS.

A Two-Year-Old Child Abducted From Its
Mother by a Variety Actress of Question
able Respectability-EagerS Search Being
Made for Her.
A kidnapping story with most sensational
features was obtained yesterday from the
Office of the anti-Cruelty Society. On Fri

Corless, living in Lawrenceville, called at

Mrs Richardson. Mrs. Corless stated
that Mrs. Richardson was an actress play
ing in beer gardens and low-class theaters.
She had taken fancy to the child, and OBJ
tanning possession of it she eluded the
mother ever since.
Mrs Corless finally determined to evoke
the aid of the society. She said that after
getting the child Mrs Richardson went to
Steubenville. Some time later a man
named Duffy wrote to her and said Mrs.
Richardson was living with him in Steuben-
vile and advised her to take the child
home, as the man was abusing it. Mrs.
Corless made preparations to go, but lust as
she was about TO start she learned that Mrs.
Richardson had been seen in a museum in
Pittsburg. She finally got trace of her
here, but only to learn that she
had gone to Chicago. She had told a
tale of sorrow at the Office of the Depart
ment of Charities in Allegheny and OBJ
tanned pass to Chicago. 1t was at this
juncture that Mrs Corless applied to the
Anti-Cruelty Society.
Secretary Dorente at once telegraphed to
the Chicago police. From them he learned
hat ha had off
in company with an actor named Payne,
taking the child with them. 1t was not
known where they had gone, but the Chi
cago officials said they would endeavor to
learn and would send all information OBJ
tainable. In the meanwhile the society is
also making vigorous search for the woman
and child.

preparations made, all orders left last week
and the hundreds more which are sure to be
left this week will be filled before Easter

in Allegheny Since February.
From February to Yesterday $50 persons
have been accommodated with lodging at
the Allegheny Central police station. None
of them, however, were under any charge.
All had some tale of woe to tell and were
classified as tramps or vagrants. The per-
son who completed the number $50 came in
at 1890 o'clock last night. His name is
Charles Hagen, aged As years, an Austrian,
and has living in his native land wife and
two daughters. Three years ago he left
Austria to seek fortune in America. He
reached California, played in bad luck and
left there for Chicago. He worked there as

PURE NATURAL GAS HERE
A New York Claim That 1t Is Mixed With
Artificial Gas Branded as Absurd.

A New York Claim That It Is Mixed With
Artificial Gas Branded as Absurd.
1t is strange what queer ideas people in
the East form about gas. Fred E. Saward,
of the Coal Trade Journal, while testifying
before the New York Senate Committee
yesterday about the effect the Reading CON-
bination will have on the price OF coal, said
if the rates were pushed up 80 cents
per ton there would be a gen
eral demand for oil and gas stoves.
He added that manufactured gas is now
being fed through the natural gas pipes OF
Pittsburg, but people did not know it.
Here was a revelation. and j. r. Mckinley
was hunted up at once to see it it was true.
Mr.. Mckinley is now managing the ALLIE
gheny Heating Company, and he is one OF
the best posted men on gas in this section.
He laughed at the idea and said it was
absurd, very ridiculous, indeed. Manutac-
tured gas is not forced into the natural gas
pipes in Pittsburg. 1t can't be done.

DISAPPEARED IN LIVERPOOL
Two Young Pittsburg Girls Lost in al
English Seaport.


English Seaport.
There is mystery attached to the disap-
pearance of two German girls, Lizzie Stier-
lin and Annie Sedle, whose case was re-
ported to the police yesterday. One of the
girls is the daughter and the other the
sister of Mrs. William Stierlin, of 700
Norton street, and were en- rorte
from Reinfall Seminary, where they
had been attending school, TO their
home in this city. The young girls have
been traced as far as Liverpool, from
whence they were to sail for America upon
the steamer the City of Paris. In tha
English cities all traces are lost. Mrs Stier-
lin received from them word that they were
to sail upon the 23d of last month. Since
that time nothing has been heard from
them.
The girls are prematurely developed, and
their relatives are greatly worried over
their disappearance, as they fear the girls
have not fallen into the best hands
