Things were decidedly lively at the
intersection of Market and Fourteenth
streets, last evening, and between half
past seven and half-past eight o'clock
there were several hundred men and
women there all the time, the aggregate
being thousands. as they came and
went at very short intervals.
The attractions were three fakirs and
two religious gatherings, while band
in nearby saloon furnished the mu-
sic. The Salvation Army conducted
one of the meetings, and a new and
not at all bad female voice caused a
large attendance
But the main attraction was the meet
ing conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. Rice.
Mrs. Rice is the preacher, and her audi
hundred and fifty during the fifty or six
ty minutes she spoke. Her manner of
speaking is peculiar. but not more so
than some of her utterances, for she
never misses an opportunity to score
the churches for their alleged sins of
omission and commission. For instance,
last night she said: "A preacher receives
his money for preaching to sinners.
Few OF them do it. That is obtaining
money under false pretenses." Again:
IF a preacher should take fallen wo-
man to church, and the female mem
bers of his congregation found it out,
most of them would say, If they are
going to have the outscourings of So
ciety in church I'm going to a decent
churchi'"
She hit some municipal officials a
hard rap when she said: Il have been
in police courts where as many as sew
enty-five poor women We're arraigned,
from sixteen to fifty years of age, and
they were fined five dollars and costs
as fast as they could take in the money,
What do you think of officials who will
drag a woman off the streets, take the
wages of her sin. and then send her
back onto the tsreets again to earn
another five dollars, that she may pay
another fine You talk about this being
civilized country. but we do many
things which would bring a blush to the
cheek of savagery.'
You arrest and convict men guilty
of robbery, and yet some of the biggest
robbers in this country sit in the
churches. Take Russell Sage. of New
York. He goes to church, and then he
turns around and makes $4,000 in an
hour and twenty minutes. No man can
do that honestly. He must do his
neighbor, and do him mighty hard. "
Il will give any one in this audience
ten dollars if you will bring me your
Bible and point out the place where
Christ ever denounced a sinner. but
denunciation appears to be the chief
stock in trade of the churches to-day"
These are specimen extracts from a
really unique talk, and it has been re-
peated with variations every evening
during the past week, attracting
great deal Of attention.

The Wei shoe and Dressing.

A few years ago a goat was consider
ed good only for cleaning up the bill
boards and garbage dumps about town.
Now they are among the most valuable
of the leather producing quadrupeds go
ing A certain Robert H. Foerderer
discovered a process for tanning the
skin of the circus bill and tin can sea-
venger, whereby the softest and love-
Hest shoe that ever adorned my lady, 5"
foot has been evolved. And Bob has
grown immensely rich with his find,
worth forty millions now and only be-
gun his career. His secret is unpur-
chaseable and ,unknowable. Yet il
sometimes occurs that leather made to
look something like Wei Kid is sold
for the real. Genuine Wei Kid can be
made only by Robert H. Foerderer.
Last week Alexander was showing the
genuine Wei Kid and the Vici Dressing
made by this same Mr.. Foerderer. Sat
urday was a grand jubilee for the child
rem. They came to the store with their
dollies, and every one of the little dears
(the dollies) were shod with beauti-
full Vici Kid slipper, more lovely than
that of tabled Cinderella.

A PlTTSBURGER'S IMPRESSIONS,
He Is Distinctly of the Impression That
wheeling Looks Like q City.

wheeling Looks Like "a City.
An occasional visitor to the city from
Pittsburg was in town last evening.
and after short chat With reporter
upon the booming iron and steel bust
ness of the Smoky City. as is to be ex
pected from the average Pittsburg man,
he said: Il wish to call your attention
to little local matter which your home
people, perhaps, have not noticed, but
which Immediately attracts the atten-
ton of an out-of-town man like my
self. Ii is the immense change your
cross-town car lines has made in the
appearance of the city. 1t has in
creased the busines-like aspect OF af-
fairs three hundred per cent, and real
", when stood at Market and Twelfth
streets this evening at six o'clock. It.
reminded me of the cross streets along
Fifth avenue at home How your peo-
pie used to get home / don't know, but
the present aspect of affairs has chang
ed very decidedly, and the old town
looks more like city than ever before.
Your street railway system appears TO
be an admirable one now, except that
the cars on the city lines appear to be
very small to me. You ought to agi-
tate for big cars. They can be opera
ted nearly as cheaply as small ones,
and require no more men"

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
At the Plant Of the Wheeling Hinge
Company Early Yesterday Morning.
FREDERICK cox, AGED NINE
TEEN. OF NO. $50 MARKET
STREET, CAUGHT IN A BELT
AND HAD HIS RIGHT ARM
TORN OFF-DIED AT THE CITY
HOSPITAL ABOUT THREE
HOURS LATER.

A horrible accident occurred about
half-past eight O'Clock yesterday morn
ing at the plant of the Wheeling Hinge
Company, ON Nineteenth street, the vic
tim being Frederick Cox, aged nine
teen, of No. $50 Market street. Death
resulted about half-past eleven at the
City Hospital, where the patient was
promptly removed.
Young Cox, who was most exem-
plary and industrious young man, was
at work in the factory, and it being
necessary to throw belt over shaft
pulley overhead, he procured a ladder
used for such purposes and amounted to
hte line of shafting. In some manner
unknown his right hand and arm was
caught in the belt at the moment of
throwing it over the pulley, probably
through the slipping Of the ladder. In
an instant Cox had been drawn up to
the line of shafting and was being
whirled around, while none Of his fell
low workmen noticed his awful predic-
ament. The revolutions of the victom
continued until his right arm had been
literally torn from the body, when Cox
fell to the floor Unconscious. Work
men, as soon as the accident was OBJ
served, ran to his assistance, and the
youth was conveyed as rapidly as pos
sible by direction of the management
to the City Hospital, where DIR. Hill
dreth was summoned. Everything that
medical and surgical aid could suggest
was done. but the injury was of too
serious nature. and death resulted
about half-past eleven o'clock. An ex-
animation of the patient at the hos
pital showed that not only had his arm
been torn away but that his legs were
fractured and serious injury sustained
to his back, while there were numer-
Gus bruises.
The accident is one deeply to be re-
GREETED, but appears to have been I'M
avoidable, and no blame attaches to any
one.

BEST YEAR
For Bloch Bros, in the Manufacture
Of Mail Pouch Tobacco "A Grow
ing Demand for the Product.

Eyes, after the first few years of re-
markable demand for Mail Pouch to-
bacco, we anticipated competition which
would cut into our trade" said Mr.. S.
S. Bloch to a Register reporter just be-
fore his departure for New York. eve
did not expect to be increasing our
working force, but as a matter of fact,
last year was the biggest and most pros
porous in the history of our company. !"
Bloch Bros. tobacco factory is one Of
the substantial industrial establish
ments of the city, running almost with
out interruption ever since it has start
ed, and furnishing employment at good
wages to hundreds of men and women.
The Mail Pouch idea was new to to-
bacco consumers throughout the coun-
try, and many predicted that when the
novelty wore off, the remarkable de-
mand for the tobacco would die out
On the contrary, Bloch Bros. have sue
ceeded in creating a demand for what
is locally termed scrap" tobacco-Mail
Pouch being somewhat different from
stogiemakers' SCRAP" however-and
while there has been a great deal OF
competition, the number of manufac-
turers having increased and multiplied,
Mail Pouch is recognized as a standard
brand, and will probably continue 10
be in great demand by chewers and
smokers. The number of manufactur-
ers has increased, but the increase in
the number of consumers has kept pace
with It.
Mr.. Bloch stated that very little Mail
Pouch is shipped abroad. not sufficient
to make the foreign trade an item Of
any Importance to his company. This
is largely due TO the fact that foreign
countries place the duty so high as to
virtually exclude the tobacco.

SEAS0NABLE HINTS.


Guard Your Health in FAN ana Earl
Winter.
A change from warm to cold Is
always attended with more danger
than from a cold to warm tenn
perature, hence the greater mortal
ity from lung and throat disease at
this season of the year as compared
with spring.
The best protection against colds
is not so much in extra clothing as
in good digestion.
If the digestion and circulation
are good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor cir
sulation of the blood and when in
this condition severe colds are con-
tracted on the slightest provoca-
ton.
People who make regular prac-
tice of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals are free from
colds, simply because their diges-
ton is perfect, the heart strong and
regular, and the whole system for
titled against disease.
IL requires lutte argument TO cOH-
vince any one that the best safe
guards against colds, pneumonia
and changes of temperature is a
good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals are dissolved and
mingling with the food cause it to
be promptly digested and assim-
Hated; they do this because they
contain nothing but harmless diges-
tive elements, which digest meat,
eggs and other food even when the
stomach itself is weak and flaccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people well and keep them well,
and the best habit you can acquire
is to make daily use of them at
meals to keep the digestive organs
strong and vigorous.

C. D. Kyle's place, No. 1854 Market

Some Good Work Being Done at the South
Side Institution.


During the past week some excellent
work was accomplished by the manag-
ers of the Bethel mission, on the South
Side. A large number of men of the
deserving poor class secured lodging
and board at the institution, and
through the efforts of those in charge
of the employment office in connection
with the mission, three men and three
women secured employment at various
places in the city. A number of appli-
cations for positions as bookkeepers
and clerks have been received at the
office. At present there is a demand
for old clothing at the mission. The
sleeping apartments have been made
more comfortable and better arrange
ments have been made for serving
meals.

SHREWD BUYING
AS Exemplified in the Business of Local
Jewelry Firm.

Jewelry Firm.
What marks the difference between a
good and a poor business man, is not
SO much the ability to make sales, as
the ability to buy right. The success
full buyer is obviously enabled to I'M
dersell his competitors. The shrew
merchant keeps close watch upon mar
ket conditions, buys at the right time,
and by paying cash gets the additional
saving of discounts allowed.
An illustration of these facts is fur
nished in the case of Shelf Bros. the
Main street jewellers and opticians.
Their buyer has made three trips to
the East during the summer. He as
certained that watches were going to be
scarce, and in order to prepare for the
coming holiday trade he bought 500
watches for spot cash. Watches have
since advanced very much in price, and
the wisdom of his early purchase has
been demonstrated.
Manufacturers always sell cheaper in
the dull summer months than when
the holiday demand commences, and
Shelf Bros. buyer also took advantage
of this fact The saving may be
small on some articles. but this kind
of buying gets goods at the very lowest
prices, and explains how Shelf Bros. are
enabled to undersell their competitors
on fine goods. With judicious buying
and the firms guarantee back of every
article sold, the success of Shelf Bros.
may be readily understood.
