DEATH OF CONSUL BEE.

Colonel f. A. Bee, Chinese Consul and
friend and defender of the Chinese in
America for many years, died in San
Francisco last week. His funeral was
devoid of any sensational glamor, although
probably more unique in the character Of
its attendants than any burial of
Christian heretofore in this country.

THE PAY TRAIN
Runs Into the Grand Opera House and
Makes Crowds Cheer.

Runs Into the Grand Opera House and
Makes Crowds Cheer.
There was not a vacant seat at the Grand
Opera House last night, and there is every
indication that even a Northwestern bliz-
zard cannot keep the people away during
tho balance of the week. The 'Pay Train"
is the sort of comedy-drama that operates
upon all of the sensations in rapid success
sion, and the dialogue is interesting
throughout. There is a plentitude OF
realism and some marvellous effects
are produced by the aid of railroad trains,
boiler explosions, coal mines in operation
and an incline tramway, from which a car
containing a man is dashed to the stage.
The great railroad scene is in the third act,
and this really is a marvel OF realism and
awakens unbounded enthusiasm. Then
there is fire in the second act, murder in
the first act and a lynching scene in the
last act, when the william meets well-de-
served death. Florence Bindley is charming
little actress. She sings well, dances as
though her feet were winged and plays
solos with marvellous skill on the autoharp
and macephonia. She WAS encored as many
as 20 times during the evening, and de-
served every one of the tributes to her
powers Her company is well placed and
evenly competent. Drew A. Morton.
Dyke Brooke, W. II. Pendergast, Miss
Meta Franklyn and Miss Dora Norman
enter fully into the spirit of their lines and
give competent support to Miss Blndley.

WANTS TO WIN HER BACK.
A Deserted Husband Asks the Police to
Help Him Find His Wife.

A Deserted Husband Asks the Police to
Help Him Find His Wife.
j. T. Gum, of No. 241 Bedford avenue, a
brakeman on the Panhandle Railroad, was
at the Inspectors Office last night and,
amidst sobs and tears, related tale of woe.
He said his wife had deserted him, and
whittier she had gone he knew not. They
had been married two years, and during
that time their life had been one of perfect
domestic bliss. Not even hard word had
passed between them, SO there could be no
excuse on that score for the wife's departure.
Previous to their marriage the girls FAM
lily, who, it is said, is well-to-do, was op-
posed to Mr.. Gum as visitor and did
everything in its power to prevent the mar
riage, but without success. Since then Mr..
Gum says that his wife's family has tried
every inducement to get her to desert him.
Yesterday morning he kissed his wife
goodby and went to work. On his return
she was gone and with her S225, the savings
since his married life began. The husband
did not want his wife arrested because he
was sure she had been guilty of no particu-
lar wrong. All he wanted was the police
to aid him in locating her and he was sure
he could win her back with love.

PROMOTES
The Reasons Are Plain

and easily understood why Drs. Lowe,
Grubbs and associates of the Catarrh and
Dyspepsia Institute, 323 Penn avenue, enjoy
such q worldwide reputation for curing
their patients. They are thoroughly edu-
Gated physicians and have had a combined
practice of 80 years. Their knowledge Of
disease and medicine, with their quick per-
ception enable them to correctly diagnose
the ills of their patients, and apply the
proper remedies for each individual case
Besides their costly medicines, prepared
from their own laboratory, they have many
other scientific methods of treatment not
possessed by any other physician or firm Of
physicians in Western Pennsylvania. Their
constant, watchful care Of their patients
making such changes in their treatment
from time to time as the change of their
condition may require.

Although the medicines themselves cost
several times that of cheap medicines, ir-
respective of cost, Drs. Lowe, Grubbs and
associates will treat all catarrh and dyspep-
sia patients who apply before February 10,
at s. month, including medicine. Both old
and new patients will be treated at $5
month until cured, that the suffering public
everywhere may prove to themselves be-
yond a question Of doubt the superior skill
of these physicians'in curing the diseases Of
their speciality.

The taxpayers of the Twenty-sixth ward
met last evening in Turner Hall, Jane
street, Southside. About 300 were present,
and the meeting was interesting throughout.
1t was called to order by Dr. L. X. Reinecke
In the chair George Hanback, was elected
Secretary. The Chairman stated the object
was to consider and protest against the
great increase in taxable valuation of prop
erty in the ward. and to condemn extrava-
gance in municipal management; also to
secure the lowest millage possible.
August Wills, M. Maber, John M. Kemm-
Ter, David M. Jones and j. w. Ruhlandt
presented the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, The present assessment being
made by the city assessors on real estate In
this ward is large advance upon the al
ready large valuation on which we were
taxed in former years, in many instances
being considerably more than actual sale
value of the property; and,
Whereas, The extravagant administration
by our city officials is resulting in q large in
crease of taxation from year to year to such
an extent rs to threaten the prosperity OF
business in terests, discourage improve
ments and the purchase of homes by our
citizens. and is gradually driving 9 large
percertage of our population to suburban
towns, thereby threatening the destruction
OF our trade; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we enter our emphatic
protest against the unfair assessment Of our
property, which will result in the collection
from us of large and unjust increase Of
taxes, and that we demand revision Of
the same and a reduction to reasonable
basis.
Resolved, That the representatives in
Council from this ward be instructed to
vote against any appropriation ordinance
which countenances q larger tax levy than
IL mills.
Resolved, That committee Of three be
apDointe to notify our said Councilmen OF
these instructions, and impress upon them
the necessity of making strenuous efforts in
behalf Of low millage
Resolved, That q committee of seven be
appointed for the purpose of providing
measures and forming plans Of future action
in the event of a refusal by the Board Of As.
SCISSORS to modify and reduce our assess
ment to just figure.
Resolved, that six taxpayers rom the
ward, one from each election precinct, be
appointed by the Chairman as q finance
defray unavoidable expenses of this and
future meetings.
Resolved, that our Councilmen be in
structed to vote for no ordinance, appro-
priating moro than $4,000 per nnnum for
Schenley Park.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. This was followed by short ad-
dresses by several we'll known property
holders of the Southside. Among them
were: August Hitler, George Hanback,,
John KENNEL and Alderman Beinhauer.
The meeting then adjourned.

of pawn tickets found on Sampson, showing
that he had pawned overcoats at various
