Paducah Clergyman tells this: II married
couple up in Allen County, and after / had pro-
nounced them man and wife, the groom took me
to one side and asked me what the damage was,
I told him that there was no fixed price; he
might give me what he chose.
'Parson,' said he, i've got five hound pups
down home, for which am asking five dollars
apiece, and I'll let you have one for three dol
lars
OF courst I declined SO ridiculous fee, as l
had no use for the hound pups.
When he got home he must have found his
wife better than he expected, for he sent me
ter saying that he was so happy with Maria that
he would give me dog for nothing. "-Louis-

Persons can have no idea of the popu-
larity of the Kleber Bros, and the immense
business they are doing in the sale of pianos
and organs, unless they drop in at their
warerooms, 5O6 Wood street. And Titles
the wonder, for the Messrs. Kleber have the
monopoly of the grandest pianos made in
America. Just look and listen to the glori-
GUS Steinway and Conover pianos, and the
popular Gabler and Opera pianos, and you
will admit that nothing else will compare
with them. They also sell the beautiful
piano-organs of full seven octaves extent,
and upon which all piano music can be
PLAYED It looks as fine as the finest Grand
piano The wonderful church organs of the
Vocation make are also sold at Klebers'
Besides the Messrs. Kleber sell at honest,
reasonable prices. They take the smallest
profits of any dealer, and they give the
longest warranty and sell on the easiest
monthly payments Klebers' store is the
most popular place to buy at, and people
have implicit faith in their honest dealings
and their superior judgment.

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.

A Low Rate Adopted by Local Lines on
Tin Plate Bars-DecisIon Of the Pitts
burg Committee of Freight Agents.
The Pittsburg Committee of Freight
Agents met yesterday, and transacted some
important business that will interest local
shippers. After considerable discussion and
numerous conferences with brick manu-
facturers it was decided to
apply Me present brick rates
to hollow brick, fire proo6ng and fue lining.
The rates apply in the Pittsburg territory,
and are mainly intended for the brick men
of Wheeling, where the other varieties are
largely made
The skelp iron rates will be applied to
into effect February 81. The railroad men
evidently believe that the tin plate busi-
ness is go in the United States. This is
the first rate that has been made and Us
about the lowest in the iron classification.
The tin plate men won't have much TO
grumble about on this score.
1t was agreed also to make dlfferentlal
rate to San Francisco via the Canadian
Pacific road only. The rates will go into
effect February q and are as follows:
First-class, 27 cents; second, 1Sc; third, 15c;
fourth, 12c; fifth. 12c; A, 101ac; B, 1O3c;
c, Sc; D, &c; E, &c. The Pittsburg lines
decided to break away from the uniform
bill of lading. Hereafter each line will
make out its own bill according to any
form they may adept. The local roads
were among the last to throw the scheme
overheard. A number of roads refused to
adopt the uniform plan, and there was
friction from the start. The system will
now be abolished.

IN THE BOSOM OF THE OCEAN.
How 1t Feels to Be Down Among tn
Monsters of the Deep.

How 1t Feels to Be Down Among the
Monsters of the Deep.
From view behind the scenes. 'The
Bottom of the Sea" is decidedly interest
ing study of stage manipulations To grope
about the ugly bed of old ocean with
out becoming food for fishes is a
strange sensation for a dry land in
habitant From comfortable seat in
the parquet, one would shudder to think
of being dropped down among the Shiny
rocks and still more Shiny monsters. But
behind the scenes these feelings are all dis
PEELED by, the realization that the green
water is nothing more than series of
cleverly arranged gauze drops, and that one
could dance clog on the muddy bottom
and kick hole through any of the rocks.
The horrible looking octopus loses all its
terror when one sees its long cloth arms,
kept in motion by thin wires suspended
from star-shaped frame far above, and
each little wire, working over pulley, do
ing its share to make the audience tremble
for the diver in his combat with the monster
The great lobster and fishes, of papermache
and paint get their life from similar con-
trivances
The divers, in tin helmets and suits of
something like horse-blanket material,
are lowered from platform above the stage
down into the dry water. The descent
looks perilous from the front, but in reality
is not any more so than climbing an apple
tree. The whole affair of the fourth act is
masterpiece of stage effect and requires a
large force of well-trained men to manipu-
late it. In the third act the ship scene is
also a very realistic one

ANOTHER SORT OF ROAST.

Tho Assessors Den to Be Lighted With Gas
Miserable Accommodations Com
planned of-why Change Should be
Made Soon.
The City Assessors want change of To-
cation for their office; and the experience
of the public who have had occasion to visit
the assessors this year will approve the
demand. AT present the assessors Office is
on the first floor in contracted space. 1t
wholly depends on artificial light, the high
Hussey building on the rear and the post
Office building at the side blocking up the
windows. Though many hundreds of tax
payers call daily, sometimes in crowds,
there is no accommodation for them ex-
cepting a dark and narrow passageway
about 10 feet long bv feet wide, and a
correspondinglv small bit of counter space
at which they throng till their turn comes.
The assessors want to get rooms upstairs.
Assessor Larkin said yesterday: "We had
to so up there good deal this winter for
room to do our work The most provoking
thing about this den, where we are
now cooped, is that we have no
nave been the greatest help to us if
we had room for large tables on which to
spread our charts, and room for the people
interested to stand or sit around and discuss
the facts and figures as to valuations or
localities from which appeals are made.
The assessors want to see the people; Il we
are wrong upon given valuations we want
the objectors to meet us and give us the
facts upon which correction can be made.
On the other hand, when we are right, or
believe we have evidence to support our
figures, we want chance to show the same
to those who appeal In our present con-
tracted condition we cannot do that in one
case out of twenty. To this is owing good
deal of the feeling that has arisen upon as
sessments. The proposition is now made to
put in gas in place of electric light in this
Office. That will be the worst roast yet
for the assessors, as there is positively no
ventilation, and the place will be regular
cookshop.'
Every one who has visited the office will
admit the justice of the complaint 1t is
thoroughly ill-adapted for the working of a
large force of clerks, for the reception of
the records, and for accommodating the
public. AS room could be made upstairs
for the assessors department, it should cer-
tainly be done this spring.

DESERTED BY HIS LOVE.

A Young Pole Puts Three Bullets Into His
Body-Found Dead on the Bank of the
Allegheny River-suspicion of Foul
Play Dispelled.
Anton Klatzback, "a young Pole, was
found dead on the Allegheny river bank at
the foot of Thirty-ninth street early yester-
day morning by ex-Constable Packer. There
were two bullet wounds on his left breast
and one on his head Beside him lay 81
caliber revolver with three shells empty.
The body was removed to the Seventeenth
ward police station, where it was identified
by E. Isriel, a tailor of No 1926 Penn ave-
nue., at whose place Klatzback was en-
pioyed Later the body was removed to
the morgue, and Coroner Mcdowell began
an investigation. klatzback has been in
this country about three years and lived
with his brother Alexander at Thirty7sixth
and Bank streets. He was 10 years of age.
Monday evening he left the house, taking
with him about S12. AS he went away he
said to his brothers wife: 'eYou will never
see me again" Later in the evening he
met friend to whom he gave his watch and
again stated he would not be seen alive
again.
The suspicion at first was that the young
man had been foully dealt With, as 1t
looked as if two of his wounds were fatal
and he could not have inflicted them both
himself But a post mortem examination
by City Physician McCandless last night
showed death to have been caused by sui
eide. Three bullet wounds in the body
were found, one in the head, slight one in
which the brain had not been penetrated,
superficial one in the left side, also slight,
and a fatal one in the heart.
Further investigation shows that for
some time past Klatzbaek has been melan-
choly. When he came to this country he
left behind him sweetheart whom he in
tended sending for as soon as he made
money enough to secure home and be
married. Recently he learned she had
secured another man for a husband in the
old country, and since then he has been in
respondent mood. 1t is supposed this
trouble is responsible for the deed

Confessed the Theft.

Otto Spring, 1S years old, was arrested in
Allegheny last night by Detectives Steele
and johnson on a charge of larceny. On
Monday Mrs. Reed, of 4S Avery street, re-
ported to police headquarters that thieves
had entered her house and stolen a watch, a
sealskin cap and a pair of muskrat gloves.
When questioned, the woman stated that a
Young man had been in the house fixing the
electric BELLS but she had no suspicion of
him, and thought him honest. Superin-
tendent Muth worked up the case and found
that the bell fxer was employed by Mr..
Zeister, of Ohio street, and the bell fixer
happened to be the boy who was arrested.
At the lookup young Spring confessed to
stealing the goods; the sealskin cap and
gloves were found on him, and he told the
officers where he had pawned the watch.

Opposed to the Smoke Nuisance.
Prot. T. S. Phillips spoke against smoke
and said it had been abated in Chicago and
should be done away with in Pittsburg. He
thought there were appliances that would
do away with it.
DR.. Sutton also spoke for smoke consump-
tion. He had been in Birmingham and
vouched for what Mr.. King said. pitts
burg" he said, ''is going back into smoke
and it increases the cost Of living, destroys
furniture, clothes, pictures, ETC.. overbur-
dens housewives and drives men who make
fortunes away to spend them elsewhere. !"
He thought the smoke from a bakery
baking doughnuts, destroying ward, not
necessary even if iron cannot be made with
out dirt 1t was true, he said, carbon or
SCOT is q great absorbent of noxious gases
and prevented the growth of bacteria, but
man couldn't grow where vegetation refused
to flourish.
Colonel W. P. Rend took new position.
He said the question was discussed in En-
gland six centuries ago. King Edward the
Second issued royal decree against smoke.
He differed with DR.. Sutton and thought
smoke healthy In the time of the
cholera the doctors ordered fires built
In the street so that the smoke
might destroy the bacteria animalculas.
1t is an antiseptic and a specific for
cholera. He considered that the smoke
should be abated as much as possible, but it
could not be entirely prevented in manu-
factories. Prohibitory legislation should not
be attempted.
Several others spoke briefly on the sub
ject, and the meeting ended with the under
standing that apparatus for smoke preven-
tion will be discussed at a future meeting.
