REV. CHRISTIE MAY DECLINE,
Though His Name Appears in the 1S92-93
Catalogue as Professor Of Theology.

Though His Name Appears in the 1592-93
Catalogue as Professor of Theology.
The Rev. Robert Christie, Scotchman,
who is at present pastor of the House OF
Hope, the largest Presbyterian Church in
st. Paul, Mimi, on a salary of $1,000 per
year and a permanent position as long as he
desires, received a call last winter from the
Western Theological Seminary, in ALLIE
gheny, as professor of theology in that
institution. 1t was understood that he had
accepted the call, and the news of his ac-
ceptance was extensively circulated.
His name appears in the catalogue of the
seminary as one of the faculty, which is
sent out for the term 1929 Last Thurs
day the Rev. Christie arrived in this city,
but left shortly afterward when he said he
would inform the institution by telegraph
on Monday whether or not he would accept.
Should his answer be contrary to expecta-
tions the seminary will probably send call
to either Rev. Robert H. Fulton, or Phila-
delphia, or tine Rev. S. B. Mccormick, of
Allegheny.
DR.: Holland, of the Belle6eld Avenue
Presbyterian Church, was seen last evening
in regard to the matter. He said that Rev.
Mr.. Christie had returned home to consult
with his family. and that no trouble had
arisen to cause Mr.. Christie to decline. By
Monday it will be definitely known whether
the Rev. Mr.. Christie will accept the pro-
fessorship. The question of salary may
have some influence in the matter, as the
one offered him by the Seminary is not as
large as the one he receives at st. Paul.

THEIR BUSY DAY.

Messrs. Widener and Elkins Looking After
More Rapid Transit Lines-Would Like
to Get the syndoate-Holding q Fran
chise With An-Night Cars.
The latest movement of the big traction
syndicate from Philadelphia is to gain con-
troll of the Citizens, Central, Second avenue
and the West End lines. Messrs. W. L.
Elkins and P. A. B. Widener spent
busy day yesterday in the city. In the
morning the annual meeting of the Pitts
burg Traction directors was held. In the
afternoon it had been intended they would
ride over the Fifth avenue and all the Du-
quesne lines by car and then go over the
proposed new route in the East End in car
riages, but the heavy rain at noon caused a
change of programme. and if the trip is
taken at all it will be taken this morning.
The talk going yesterday about the at
tempt to gain control of the other lines
mentioned seems to have some foundation.
1t is known that some months ago that the
stockholders of the Central Traction Com
pany were offered a proposition by which
they were to receive profit of about S5
share on their stock, but it was voted on
and declined by the board of directors 1t
was then announced that another offer would
be made, and it was made yesterday,
though what it was or what will
be done with it could not be learned.
From all accounts the syndicate will have
little trouble in capturing the Second
avenue or the West End lines, though there
will probably be fight before they get the
Citizens into camp, and that is the one
most desired. 1t is understood now that
not much attention is being paid to the
Manchester Traction il hei ino in such shane
that a deal can be made at almost any
time.
A feeble attempt at denial of the pro-
posed changes on the Fifth Avenue and Du-
quesne lines was made yesterday, the posi-
tion assumed being that the Duquesne line
on Forbes street was to be abandoned. In
its exclusive article on this subject yester-
day THE DISPATCH stated that Forbes
street would be practically abandoned but
cars enough to hold the franchise will be
kept running. The all-night cars would
answer this purpose, and they are paying
too well to be discontinued.
dividend of 81 so a share on Pittsburg
Traction stock was declared at yesterdays
meeting of the Board of Directors Thomas
Bigelow rendered his resignation as Vice
President, and c. L. Magee was elected in
his stead Senator William Finn succeeded
j. G. Wainwright, resigned, on the board.
P. A. B. Widener, George G. Wilson,
George w. and w. L. Elkins form the
balance of the board.
Last night the traction magnates were in
headquarters at the Duquesne Club, where
conferences were held with the largest
stockholders of a number Of other lines, but
no interviews could be secured, all requests
therefor being answered with polite, "Too
busy tonight; call in the morning."

ward in the city. As to the claims for
brick, Ihave been 16 years in Council and in
that time have paid much attention to the
subject of pavements. NY belief and ex-
rerience is that brick pavements in the resi-
Gence portions of the city are superior to
amy other kind. There are no worse pave
mautsIn the country than we have in Pitts
burg, and if we would try a few brick pave
1.ruts, with decent foundation, they would
cost less, wear longer and give better salts
faction than any in use The vulcanite as
0iraIt payemen;s in this city are miserable.
They would wear out in ten years from the
action ct sun and rain if never trod upon.
they require constant repair and are worn
uut in five wears when the contractors turn
Them over to the city.
Chief Blgclow, being called on by the
cnmmittee, replied that his experience had
been that brick pavements were a failure.
Contractors laving them avoided assuming
thc care Of them tor five years, but in the
lew streers in this city paved with brick the
provision had been inserted without the
contractors knowledge, and as a result the
repairs had been made, but had
Cost ;hc Contractors Many Dollars
and still the pavements were not in good
saane. Stockton avenue, ALLEGHENY, had
Iegn paved with brick, but under the agree
mcnt the contractor had to keep it in repair,
and il was so worn that he had to repaye it
tu,irc in three years.
In defense of the asphalt pavements and
their cost M Bigelow said ours was as
good a> any other, but cost more because
contractors had to wait on their money, but
AN ordinance was to be presented to remedy
his and then PIttsburg would get asphalt
VavementS under SIS per square yard. Wash
Ilg-on was the only city that got them be-
los s., hus it was regulated there by an act
O. Congress limiting cost OF all paveMents
10 -
There was little discussion bv other men,
b1rs Of the committee on the subject, those
who talked saying brick pavements were
10 good. Mr.. Ford wanted a sub-commit-
Zee appointed to investigate, but was voted
down. The ordinances were then negatively
recommended to Councils, DIR. Evans vote
bcing the only one in favor of brick. As
tie meeting adjourned he exclaimed:
There should be sign hung up in this
hail and it should read: NO improvements
wanted here,''
The doctor was bitterly sarcastic in his
remarks and left the committee room in a
state Of indignation.

Early Danger in Eye and Ear Diseases.

In most eye and ear diseases permanent
damage is done in the early stages of the
disease before the patient realizes his con-
dition and determines on consulting an ex-
pert, This is the chief reason of many more

chronic diseases are the only exception.
When everybody learns to consult the most

MORE MUSEUMS NEEDED.

DIR. Holla nd Talks at Length on This Sub
ject-Pittsbur= Should Have q Local
Collection-The First Museum Founded
by Alexander the Great.
The Rev. DR.. Holland, President of the
Academy of Science and Art, delivered his
annual address last evening on Local Col
lections," on the occasion of the regular
monthly and annual meetings. DR.. Holland
presided and w. L. Scaife acted as secre-
tary. The annual reports were received.
That of Secretary G. H. Clapp showed
membership of 274. The report of Treas
urer w. S. Bell showed that the receipts
had been So, 900 and the expenditures the
same. The Lecture Committee reported u
lectures for the year.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, John A. Brashear;
Vice Presidents, George A. Macbeth and
James E. Keeler; Secretary, George H.
Clapp; Treasurer, w. s. Bell; Councillors
to serve for three years, Prof F. G.
Phillips, Rev. W. J. Holland, Charles
Davis and Alfred E. Hunt.
DR.. Holland spoke at length on his sub
ject and sought to impress his hearers with
the Importance of and benefit to be derived
from the establishment of local museum
and interesting objects and specimens that
would be of local interest and of value to
science He gave brief review of the his
tory of museums, and said that what was
probably the first museum was when Alex
ander the Great gave a large sum of money
to his preceptor, Aristotle. with which
to make a geological collection, etc
The second museum was established in 1867
at the Oxford University. The next was
created by an act of the British Parliament.
Since its inception there has been spent on
it $50 100000 The purchasing has also
brought gifts, and 500, 900, 600 could be de-
rived to-day from sale of the effects of the
British Museum. This country, he said, is
behind in things of this kind, there being
only two or three centers of mu-
scum activity in the United States.
In England there are 154, at least, outside
of the national collection. For a museum
here they could gather together everything
possible relating to the history of this
locality. The mineral and vegetable re-
sources animal life, ETC., are all suscepti-
BILE of being illustrated, and it would be of
immense Importance not only to the locality,
but scientifically. He suggested that this
academy take up the subject and have it
made prominent.
