FOR RAISING FUNDS.

The Methodist Episcopal Church Will

Organize a flew Society

TO HELP EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS.

A Knmber of Ministers to Change Places atthe Xext Conference.

BISHOP TOSS WILL ACT AS PBESIDEKT

Attorney H&rvey Henderson has beenretained by several well-know- n clergymenof the Methodist Episcopal Church to ob-

tain a charter for an important society. Theobject of the society is laudable. It is topromote and provide fnnds for the advance-

ment ot higher education in the PittsburgConference. A lew men who have had theeducation of the younger portion of thechurch at heart have been struggling forsome years in a disorganized condition for

the welfare of the colleges, and the resulthas been that their efforts have suffered con-

siderably through lack of organization. Toremedy this and place the society in asphere where it can accomplish successfullythe desire of those interested in collegework this application has been made.

Every day the need of better educationalfacilities in the church is felt, and the seatsof learning are in need of systematic helpwhich will place them in a position wheretheir usefulness will not be impaired bymeager supplies.

The Pittsburg Conference of the MethodistChurch has had for some years an educa-

tional society composed of ministers of theConference. This society promoted and encouraged education among the people, pro-

viding means whereby they could acquireknowledge. Said Mr. Henderson yesterday:

. "We have been working on a verr limitedscale. Ouraid to tLe institutions of learninghas been small, but we n ill. after incorpora-tion, push this society to the front. Com-

mittees will be created who will be empow-

ered to collect funds. These iunds will beused solely lor edncational purposes. Thedistribution of the money will be in thehands' of a board of trustees, who will haveregularly elected officers.

"For lear of any misapprehension it mustbe emphatically stated that no help will begiven to individual students at present. Atsome future date this may be contemplated.In the colleges of the Conference, however,scholarships will be created which cau be obtained through the ordinary channels, ofcompetitive examination.

There are only two colleges in the Pitts-burg Conference, and these are for females.It is expected that the incorporation of thissociety will greatly benefit these institu-tions. Allegheny College, Meadville,though outside the Conference, will behelped. The Conference is a patron of thecollege. The Pittsburg Methodists havetubscribed 580,000 to its endowment. Thecollege requires about 515,000 a year.

The office of the new society will be overthe M. E. bookstore, on Smithfield street.The charter is expected in a few days, whenimmediate steps will be taken to collectmoney. All members of the Conference, layand clerical, will be members, and all whosubscribe $5 and upward.

Some of the pastors, where theirterm ends at this Conference, will not seek

main in the city till the Pittsburg teachersunderstand the subject.

-- The teachers ot other cities, like those ofPittsburg, think the change from the oldmethod ot drawing t be difficult at first,but soon come to be much pleased with it.

The first institute of the school year willbe held at the Ralston school next Saturdayat 9 a. ai. The programme will consist ofdiscussions on the following subjects, andevery one can have his say:

"Resolved that single dailv sessions ofschool in June are not desirable," to beopened by Prof. W. A. Proudfit. "Whatamount of home work, if any, should be re-

quired in the primary grade?" by Prof. J.JI. Logan. Prof. Vissman will give anaddress on United States history. Prof. C.A. Biddle will give his views on "Thespelling-boo- k should it be abolished ?and, if so, why?" "Concert reading canit be used to advantage?" by Prof. A. G.Burgoyne.

school, will be married on the 19th to Mr. Will-la-

Hardy.Miss L. Williams, of the Mt. Washington

A heavily laden coal barge belonging tothe Alps Coal Company was snuk, just

2o. 1, on Friday morning. "Whenthe Davis Island dam was completed Tues-day night the water in-- tha fit- - pool rose tofour feet, and on Wednesday three bargesbelonging to the Alps Company were movedfrom their moorings, prepartofy to takingthem down to the city wharfs. Next daythe water was let out of the dam so rapidlythat the barges were stranded. One of themwent down on a rock, which pierced its bot-tom. It is now almost entirely underwater.

K0 MUSEUM TRUST.

A Wild-Eye- d Rumor From the West Au-thoritatively Dented.

A movement was yesterdav reported to bemuse-- questions before andcountry syndicate, con

trolled the Barnum-Baile- v combination,J. W. Plocker, Manager of the Casino Mu-seum, was asked about the matter last nightand laughed at the idea. He said:course a consolidation of the museum busi-ness would be a money-makin- g investment,but it is not being done. The names youshow me in the list prove that There isCole & Middleton's, which has changedhands in a very short time, and no moneycould buy out the present proprietors. Theinvestment is claimed to be 52,000,000, butthat money would not begin to buy out thedime museum interests of the country. Iam perfectly satisfied that the interests ofthe Casino are not sale, and I know wellthat others are fully as independent. AVhena man is making money it is a time tosell out his business."

Judge Stowe filed an opinion yesterdayconvicting John A. Martin of worldly em-

He also fined him$25 and costs in each case, and in default ofpayment to be placed in jail for 30 days.In this decision the Court held that thethree cases depended on the same question.The evidence of the defendant as well as theplaintiff showed him guilty under the act ofApril 22, 1794.

pression of opinion in reference to them wouldbe out of place.it cannot oe seriously urged, I think, at thislate day. in view of the popular understanding

of a whole century, and of the many expressionsof opinion lrom both Common Pleas andSupremo Courts of the State, that deal in? inmilk as a merchantable commodity is not asmuch a worldly emplojmentasdeallne in breador meat or any other article oi food.

Nor does the suggestion of counsel, and theproof that milk is a perishable article makeany difference. The Legislature knew that aswell as we do, and they have not seen fit tomake any distinction for that reason Wehave no right to do so, even it we so desired.Our plain duty is to enforce law, not to makeit. If an act of the Legislature has becometo the times in which we live, the matterlies with the lawmaking power and not withus. To give the act of 1791 the interpretationthe defendant claims would be simply to re-peal the statute In its material character andin my opinion a violation of our judicial duty.

SOUTHSIDE GHOSTS.

The Grncsomo Apparitions of a Man andDoff Startle nirminsham.

A curious ghost story is going the roundson the Southside. Every night, about halfan hour after midnight, a tall man envel-oped in a cloak and ,wearing a heavy slouchhat, passes hastily from the direction of theriver, and striding along Carson street, turnsinto a waste field on the right hand, wherehe is speedily lost to sight. He is followedin his rambles by a gaunt dog of the deer-hou-

species, who trails a broken chainfrom his neck-coll- ar and limps as he walks.

Several people have spoken to the latewayfarer among others an elderly man whokeeps a tobacco store near the Castle Shannon depot but to none has he returned anyother reply than to fold his heavy cloakmore closely over his face. ' Those who sawhim say thaf his eyes are bright and pierc-ing. One gentleman declares that he threwa stone at the dog, and felt sure he hit hirain the ribs, but the dog took no notice of theblow. The police have been informed ofthe strange creaturesj who have now beenseen on over a dozen different nights. Themost curious part of the thing is that dumbanimals take no notice of either man or dog,and appear not to see them. The police, itis said, will try to waylay the ghosts if pos-sible.

The man never appears exesnt on nitrhtswhen the moon is wholly or partially cloud-ed over.

An Association to be Started to Sys-

tematically Help People

LN TIMES 0E GREAT EMERGENCIES.

General Axlin, of Ohio, ana Dr. Chris,la'nge Devising the Plans.

EXAMPLE OP THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.

A charter has been applied for theAmerican Belief Association, in Columbus.The birth of this association is the outcomeof the dis organized manner in which thework of relief was carried on at Johnstown.

Dr. Lange, Eirst Vice President of the.society, said yesterday: "The work ofameliorating the sufferings of the people inthe devastated regions of the ConemaughValley was seriously crippled, because welacked organization. The exigency of thecase demanded immediate action. Stepshad to be taken promptly yet cautiously.Suffering in its most malignant form wasscattered all around, and to relieve this asquickly as possible was the main desire.But on every hand we were handicapped.

"This organization proposes in times ofgreat urgency to work in a systematicmanner. Onr society will be divided intothree parts, a medical corps, a sanitarycorps and a commissary corps. These divi-sions will cover the whole needs of a com-

munity overtaken by any appallingcalamity.

THE DUTIES DEFINED."The duties of the medical and sanitary

corps are obvious;he special and" perhapsthe most important corps will be the com-

missary, whose work will be to receive andtake charge of all clothing, food and money,and to distribute them in a business-lik- e

way."Theadvantage of this sooiety can be seen

by giving an instance that happened atJohnstown. General Axhne, of Columbus,gave orders to unpack a large bpr of shoes.In turning the box over the shoes naturallymixed up. The people, eager to produrethem, snatched up a couple, regardless ofthe shape or size. The resnlt of this pro-cedure was that the shoe donation wasworthless. Nearly every person got oddshoes.

"The same thing occurred with the food.Large boxes of pies and sweatmeats weresent, but before they were landed they werecrushed and could not be used. Throughthe carelessness of donators, three-eight-

of the preserves that we received in glassjars were broken. The commissary willadvise the good people who give how togive. For instance, they will ask those whogive shoes to tie a, pair together, or if theydonate clothing to put a full suit in aparcel.

ODD THINGS EECEIVED."Often we received a package which wonld

contain a pair of trousers that would fit aman measuring 46 inches around the waist,and a coat and vest that might suit a boy of7. The givers will be instructed how topack goods so that they will be receivedwithout being broken and useless.

A Plain Statement.,' "Septembeb 7. 1889.

To the Public: "We wish to make's, few statements in an-

swer to what appeared in the morningpapers in regard to (tha horseshoers' strike.

The master horseshoers claim that themen have struck so often that they mustdraw the line some place.

I wish to .state that there has been one de-mand in eight yean, and that was for 10per cent of a raiseiver three years ago,which was granted, This is the second onein that tjme.

T want to let the public know what thejourneymen have done for the master horse-shoers of Pittsburg and Allegheny.

We organized their present union oyerthree years ago, and compelled men to joinwhom they bad over, with thehelp of the organized labor of Alleghenycounty. It fs not ove're three months agosince we took into their, organization aboutsix shops that they have been trying to getto join them for over-thre- e years.

They are now getting at an average from50c to 75a per. set more for shoeing than be-

fore we organized tbem.They claim they cannot par 25c a day

more to the workman. It may be so, bnt weclaim they can. We would iike to see themmake more money. and if thev are not making enough they can charge lot the shoeing,in answer to Dr. Doris, who is not a horse--shoer, and cannot be expected to know asmuch about the-- business as the man whomakes his living at it, we affirm that we arenot better paid than any other class of me-chanics, and there are no other mechanicsbut the horseshoers at the present time work-ing ten hours for a day's work.

We asked them to give us nine hours fora day's work, and they objected, statingthat it did not suit their business. We havenow .made a- - demand to tret off at 1 o'clockon Saturday, and they claim that the publicwould be .inconvenienced by that. 1 saythe public can g$t a sboe on in any shop tolast till the next" week. We offered to leavea man in each shop id tighten and pnt onshoes for the accommodation of .the public,and if they, can close the shops up far awhole week, only tightening shoes they cansurely afford to close up at 1 o'clock on Sat-urday.

He spoke of the journeymen being greatsoendthrifts, and drank most of their money.I know that is true, butl am willing to com-pare the journeymen with the mastershoers. I wish to inform the master shoersthat we don't have to call on any outsideparties to carry on our strike, as we hareDrains enough among ourselves.

We were open for arbitration in the firstplace, and the bosses made no reasonablepropositions,, therefore we are in this fightto win.

In regard, to advertising for men, theycould not get enough men in twelve monthsto fill our positions".

W. J. Alopre wishes to contradict a state-ment which appeared in the morning paperswith his name attached, that the mastersmade 90 percent, as he made no such statement. He Knows as well as any man at thebusiness what bosses can make, but that isto himself. '

A word to the masters before closing, thatinstead of bringing all our influence to bearagainst the shops that do not belong to yourunion, we will bring it to bear, with the helpof the labor Organizations, against the shopsthat hire scab labor.

We are not looking for sympathy from thepublic, but we just wish to give you a fewfacts, which cannot be denied.

We have won the fight now. as our menare returning to work, some every day, re-ceiving the demand.

GUN" WA, An Chinese Physician,who cannot under the American laws practice medicine, has a line of preparedChinese herb and vegetable specifics for the cure of rarious diseases, which he sellsfor a small sum. They are quick to act, perfectly harmless, pleasant to take andnever fail to cure. Among the diseases which these remedies quickly cure are Cancer, Tumors, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Female Weakness, Paralysis, Bron-chitis and Lung Troubles and all Blood and Chronic Diseases.

NO CHARGE FOR ADVICE OR CONSULTATION, as Gua Wa doesnot practice medicine. A friendly talk costs nothing. If you cannot call write toGun Wa, inclosing 4c stamps, foe a history of his life or a circular on Cancer,Rheumatism, Catarrh, Piles, Female Weakness, Tapeworm, or his book (for meaonly) on private and nervous diseases.

GUN WA WILL CUBE YOUor tell you in all kindness that he cannot, but all of the" above mentioned troublewhich Gun Wa calls "AMERICAN DISEASES" (they having been masteredand eliminated in His country) quickly and permanently yield to these Nature'Cures, which are the result of thousands of years of research and study in the homaof Cqnfucius and are considered positive specifics among the upper and educatedclasses in.the Celestial Empire.

THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS are sent daily to Gun Wa. whose eel- -ebrated Chinese Vegetable Medicines are recognized the world over by their healingand g qualities. They are made of rare medicinal herbs, Imported from;China for this sole puroose, and are not in use nor known to any physician in theUnited States.
