The reports of the National Encampment also show that the members of the order have been liberal in their own expenditures for charitable purposes. In the past ten years considerably over two millions of dollars have been expended by Posts for relief, in great part for the benefit of those not mnembers, and this is altogether independent of the large amounts expended by individual m1embers and of which no estimate can be made. As auxiliary to the work of the Grand Army in this respect note should be made of the magnificent showing of expenditures for relief made by the WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS and the LADIES O1F THrr rE G, A.

Yet, by a splendid constitution and indomitable pluck,he rose from the grip of death, recovering rapidly, and in November was again with his command before his wounds were fully healed. In fact, those wounds never fully healed. After Gettysburg it was Captain Adams. It was the bad fortune of the Nineteenth Massachusetts to be mostly captured at Cold Harbor early in June, and Captain Adams was among the prisoners. For nine months he suffered in rebel prisons. He was the first recruit mustered into Post 5 of Lynn, was threevarious Indian tribes. These groups of nomads were, at that tiime, living in constant dread of the powerful Iroquois. The secret of La Salle's hospitable reception among the Illinois Indians was the fact that j ust previous to his advent the Iroquois had descended upon them and taken over 800 persons whom they conveyed back to the head waters of the Ohio and into New York as their slaves. It was this indomitable race, the Six Nations, called Iroquois by the French, that were the only occupants of the soil when the emissaries of France first penetrated the trans-Allegheny wilderness. They were a warlike people and their contests had extended from New York to Carolina and from New England to the Mississippi. They well deserved the name " Romans of America." Tribes of the Six Nations were found scattered all through the territory south of Lake Erie and in the valley of the Ohio. A considerable village was located at Logstown, a few miles below Pittsburgh on the north bank of the Ohio. The Delawares, who had been subdued by the Six Nations, was another body of Indians occupying this region of territory. The Shawnees, one of the most remarkable and mysterious of the Indian nations, were also inhabitants of the country when France began to invade it with her armies. They first appeared in 1698 at Montour's Island, six miles below Pittsburgh. Others of this tribe located in central Pennsylvania and others on the head waters of the Susquehanna and Delaware. In 1728 the latter colony were again in motion to the west and located themselves near the Allegheny and Ohio. As has been observed, the Shawnees, or Shawanos, are the only mysterious element among the Aboriginal races of the great west. They were originally from the south, the French say from the Cumberland river. Rev. Mr. Heckewelder, a pioneer missionary, states that he was told by other Indians that they were from Florida. while Mr. Johnson, once United States agent of Indian affairs at Piqua, Ohio, states that they came from the Suwanee river in Florida, and that it derived its name fronl them. He is also authority for the statement that they only, of all the Indian tribes, had a tradition that their ancestors crossed the sea, and that long after their arrival in Pennsylvania they performed a yearly sacrifice for their safe deliverance fiom the terrors of the ocean. The Shawnees were blood thirsty and cruel, and some of the darkest stains on the pioneer history of Ohio and Pennsylvania are attributable to their ferocity. These various nations strangely mixed together, and yet preserving their distinct and separate organization, were dwelling here when the white man first appeared among them. To understand the conflicting territorial claims of France and England it will be necessary to review the European side of the question. With the land grasping tendencies which have always characterized England and England's monarchs, Queen Elizabeth, in 1564, granted to Sir Walter Raleigh a patent for a tract of land which practically embraced the Atlantic sea board of the New World, and extending inland to an indefinite distance. Under the terms of this patent it undoubtedly included what is now Pennsylvania and the adjacent territory. Sir Walter Raleigh never availed himself of the possibilities of this grant, which ultimately lapsed as he fell from royal favor. In 1609, James I granted a charter to a company of Englishmen headed by the Earl of Salisbury. Again was the territory now embraced in the city of Pittsburgh parcelled out to those who were destined never to set eyes on it. It was under this charter that Virginia subsequently claimed the soil of southwestern Pennsylvania. Seventy-two years later, in 1681, owing to the indefinite knowledge of the country, this same territory of southwestern Pennsylvania w-as included in the charter given to William Penn by Charles II. As a result, as The Right Hon. WILrw IAM PrIT, Esq. years went by, there arose a long and bitter contest between the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania as to the ownership of this land. The French claim, as has been shown, was based on the right of discovery. The English claimed it by royal favor. The struggle between England and France and their Indian allies, for the site of Pittsburgh as the key to the valley of the Ohio, the gateway to the great west, ultimately led to. an European war between these nations, causing the sacrifice of thousands of lives and millions of treasure; but this has no interest at this point. Up until the year 1749 the story of Pittsburgh is confined to the intrigues of English traders and French missionaries in their endeavor to excite the Indian tribes to war with their opponents. In that year the Marquis Gallisonier, Governor General of Canada, sent out an expedition commanded by Captain Louis de Celeron for the purpose of depositing leaden plates at important places along the Allegheny and Ohio, and taking formal possession of this land, Louisiana in the name of France. Three of these plates have been since found, one at the mouth of the French creek, one at Marietta, Ohio, and one at the mouth of the Big Kenhawa river. A year previous to Celeron's expedition a crown grant of 500,000 acres of land south of the Ohio and between the Monongahela and Great Kenhawa, and with the privilege of taking up land north of the Ohio, had been made to Thomas Lee, President of the Virginia Assembly, Lawrence and Arthur Washington, brothers of George Washington, and Mr. Hanbury, of London, under the name of the Ohio Company. In the meantime the Penns had been negotiating with the Indians for the purpose of' obtaining permission to erect forts on the Ohio.

The main purpose was to ascertain the number of the Indians and their feeling towards the French and English. George Croghan, an Indian trader, and an interpreter Andrew Montour, six months after the batteaus of Celeron had gone down the Allegheny, visited the Indian tribes and endeavored to secure permission for the erection of a fort on the head waters of the Ohio. An agent of the French, Captain Joncaire, was at Logstown at the same time, but his mission was unsuccessful. Croghan and his presents from the Governor of Pennsylvania were well received, but the Indians declined to part with their lands. In 1750 Christopher Gist, for the Ohio Company, spent the winter exploring the territory granted to Lee and the Washingtons. It was not until April, 1751, that George Croghan secured permission from the Indians to erect a fort near the mouth of the Monongahela. With this permission, which he had labored several years to secure, he returned to the Pennsylvania authorities, but strange as it may seem, the latter declined to assume the responsibility, on the score of expense, of erecting the fort. It was then that Virginia decided to assume the initiative. In 1753 Governor Dinwiddie, of Virginia, having learned that the French intended to extend their fortified posts, which, until that time, did not reach south of Fort Venango, on the Allegheny, determined to send a messenger to learn their movements. For this purpose he selected George Washington, one of the Adjutant Generals of Virginia, then under 21 years of age. Washington left Virginia on the 14th of November, 1753, and made a remarkable journey over mountain and forest in mid-winter, and through a trackless wilderness. On the 25th day after his departure from Williamsburg he reached the forks of the Ohio. In his journal of this tour Washington says: " I spent some time in viewing the rivers and the land in the fork, which I think extremely well suited for a fort, as it has the absolute command of both rivers. The land at the point is five feet above the common surface of the water, and tas a considerable bottom of fat, PITTSBURGH IN I795.

The rivers are each a quarter of a mile or more across and run here very nearly at right angles, the Allegheny bearing nearly east, and Monongahela southeast. The former of these two is a very rapid and: swift running water, the other deep and still with no perceptible fall. "About two miles from this, on the southeast side of the river, at the place where the Ohio Company intended to erect a fort, lives Shingiss, king of the Delawares. We called upon him to invite him to a council at Logstown. "As I had taken a great deal of interest in the situation at -the fort, my curiosity led inme to examine this more particularly, and I think it greatly inferior either for defense or advantages, especially the latter. For a fort at the fork would be equally well situated on the Ohio and have the entire command of the Monongahela which runs by our settlement and is extremely well designed for our carriage as it is of a deep still nature. Besides a fort at the forks might be built at much less expense than at -ihe other place." These were the impressions of George Washington as to the site of Pittsburgh as a strategic point in the approaching contest between England and France. That he did not err in his judgment is shown in tile fact that it was around the forks of the Ohio that the war for possession raged. It was the key of the vast valley of the Ohio. Washington visited the French commander at Fort Venang,o, delivered the letter from Governor Didwiddie, and was informed by the French general that his orders were to take all the English traders found on the Ohio, which order he was determined to obey. It was while returning from this expedition that Washington came near losing his life in the Allegheny river.

The story of Washington's adventures on the Allegheny river, within what are noiw the corporate limits of Pittsburgh, constitute perhaps the most thrilling episodes in his remarkable life, and is submitted here in his own language as taken fronm his journal:'I took my necessary papers, pulled off my clothes, and tied myself up in a watch coat. Then, with gun in hand, and pack on my back, in which were my papers and provisions, I set out with Mr. Gist, fitted in the same manner, on Wednesday the 26th. The day following, just after we had passed a place called Lvluraering town (where we intended to quit the patlh and steer across the country for Shannapin's town), we fell in with a party of French Indians, who b1ad laid in wait for us. One of them fired at Mr. Gist or me, not fifteen steps off, but fortunately missed. We took this fellow into custody, and kept him until about nine o'clock at night, then let him go, and walked all the remaining pait of the night without making any stop, that we might get the start, so far as to be out of reach of their pursuit the next day, since we were well assured they would follow our track as soon as it was light. The next day we continued travelling until quite dark, and got to the river about two miles above Shannapin's. We expected to have found the river frozen, but it was not, only about fifty yards from each shore. The ice I suppose had broken up above, fbr it was driving in vast quantities. "There was no way of getting over but on a raft, wvhich we set about, with but one poor hatchet, and finished just after sun setting. This was a whole day's work; we next got it launched, then went on OLD BrLOCK HOUSJE. board of it and set it off; but before we were half-way over we were jammed in the ice, in such a manner, that we expected every' moment our raft to sink and ourselves to perish. I put out my setting pole to try to stop the raft that the ice might pass by, when the rapidity of the stream threw it with so much violence against the pole, that it jerked me out into ten feet of water, but I fortunately saved myself by catching hold of one of the raft logs. Notwithstanding all our efforts, we could not get to either shore, but were obliged, as we were near an island, to quit our raft and make to it. "The cold was so extremely severe that Mr. Gist had all his fingers and some of his toes frozen, and the water was shut up so hard that we found no difficulty in getting off the island on the ice in the morning, and went to Mr. Fraziers." * * Governor Dinwiddie. of Virginia, in Washington's absence, had taken time by the forelock, and appointed Captain William Trent to take charge of the forks of the Ohio and erect thereon a fort. On his return from Fort Venango, Washington ilet the van-guard of Trent's little army on its way westward with the pack horses. In casting the horoscope of Pittsburgh astrologers of the future nmust reckon from the 17th of February, 1754, fbr on that day the white man took formal possession of the land whereon Pittsburgh now stands. The company of Virginians immediately began the erection of a fort, but the severity of the winter and the fewness of their numbers greatly retarded the progress of the work. In the meantime the Indian allies of the French, and the French traders among the Indians along the Ohio, had carried the word to uontracoeur, the commander at Fort ~Aenango, of the invasion by the English. Nothing could be done by himi, however, until the Allegheny river opened. About the middle of April he was ready to start, and on the evening of the 16th of that month the French forces, to the number of 1,000, consisting of French, Canadians and Indians, with eighteen pieces of cannon and a flotilla of fifty bateaux and 300 canoes, arrived in front of the Virginian's fort. Captain Contracoeur was a typical Frenchman. His demand for the surrender of the fort, which was made to Ensign Ward, was couched in flowing language. It contained about six hundred words in which the word "Sir " appears no less than sixteen times. Ensign Ward and his fortyone men were compelled to surrender and evacuate the fort and immediately Captain Contracoeur had Ward down to tea in his tent on the river bank. The French completed the fort and lnamed it Fort IDuquesne in honor of the Governor of ORIGINAL COURT HOUSE AND MARKET, TORN DOWN IN 1852. Duquesne un honor of the Goveraor of M Canada. Had the fort been completed by the Virginians, and the invasion of Contracoeur been delayed a few months, the name "Pittsburgh " would never have appeared on the map of Pennsylvania. "'Georgetown " would have taken its place, for the instructions as given bgy Governor Dinwiddie to Trent and Ward were to erect a fort at the forks of the Ohio, to be called " Fort Prince George." While the little handful of colonial troops were retreating up the Monongahela, George Washington, who had been raised to the rank of Major, and was shortly afterward made Colonel, was busy enlisting troops to re-inforce the detachment at the head waters of the Ohio.I 9$ 525 F I H H H HK ii H 1 C ('a, ____ * I (2l 2O" I 1. 1.

Colonel Washington marched from Alexandria on the 2d day of April, and on the 16th day of April, while the capitulation of the fort on the site of Pittsburgh was in progress, with his force of 300 men, was in the vicinity of Cumberland, Maryland, m.lrching northwestward as rapidly as possible. The news of the surrender reached him a few days later, but it only caused him to push forward more rapidly. He reached a place called the Great Meadows and threw up a hasty entrenchment, and here he was infbrmed that M. La Force with a skirmishing party of fifty Frenchmen from the forks were in the vicinity. Surrounding the following episode there hangs the only thing upon which the enemies of Washington ever endeavored by documentary evidence to leave a stain on his splendid career. Fearing that thisappearance of the French was a stratagem for taking his camp, Washington put his ammunition in a place of safety, and, leaving a strong guard to protect it, set out with forty men and visited a friendly Indian camp a little before sunrise. It was then decided that the Indians and Colonel Washington's party should attack the French. The latter were discovered in a retired place surrounded by rocks a few miles from the road. The approach of the English was their signal for firing, which was vigorously returned. The French were defeated, their commander, De Jumonville, and ten men, killed and twenty-one taken prisoners. Washington's loss was one man killed and three wounded. Washington returned to his camp, began fortifying it, and otherwise prepared for an attack from the main body of French. He called this place Fort Necessity and here he was joined by Captain Mackey of the Royal Army with an independent company of 100 men from South Carolina. This made his total force 400 men. It would seem that Washington's connection with western Pennsylvania embraced the bitterest experiences of his life. Cold, hunger, fatigue, incessant,battle and -skirmishes with the French and Indians, followed by defeat, made up this portion of his career. It took Washington and a small detachment of his men thirteen days to cut a road from Fort Necessity across the mountains to0:the site of Connellsville and where at that time Christopher Gist, a noted frontiersman, had his home. The news that the French were marching fromn Fort Duquesne caused Washington to retreat from Connellsville to Fort Necessity. Suffering fbr lack of food, and compelled to draw eight swivel guns after them, the half-starved soldiers were but the prototype of the heroes of Valley Forge. The French followed closely and on the 2d of July, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the French and Indians reached Fort Necessity and opened fire on it. The battle continued from eleven o'clock in the morning until eight at night, when the French requested a parley. The result of it was that terms of capitulation were arranged, and the next day Washington and his men marched out from the fort with the honors of war, but leaving their artillery behind, and proceeded on their return to Virginia. The articles of capitulation, which were in French, were translated by Captain Van Braam, of Washington's forces. History is uncertain as to whether Van Braam was a scoundrel or an ignoramus. He had an imperfect knowledge of both French and English, and as he was the only person speaking French in the colonial party, he interpreted the terms of capitulation in which the word assassination was used with reference to the death of Jumonville at the hands of Washington's forces. Thus it was made to appear that in agreeing to the terms of the French, Washington permitted himself to be stigmatized as an assassin. The publication, some OLD COURT HOUSE. time afterward, of these terms created general consternation in the colonies, but Washington's officers, who were present at the capitulation emphatically stated that no intimation of assassination and no such statement had been read by Van Braam when interpreting these articles of war. This ended the military operations around Pittsburgh for the year 1754. The French were in possession of the whole west; the English. were driven eastward beyond the Allegheny mountains. The English government now determined to oppose with all its energy the growing power of the French in America. That sluggish monarch George II placed Major General Edward Braddock in command of all the King's forces in America. Two regiments from Ireland under Sir Peter Halkat and Colonel Dunbar were sent to America, with: one thousand: barrels -of beef and ten tons of butter, to invade the western wilds. As the defeat of Braddock, near Pittsburgh, constituttes one of the conspicuous monuments in early American history, it is worth while going into some of the minor details of that memorable expedition. England desired, by one grand stroke, to destroy the French supremacy in the vicinity of Fort Duquesne. Thiswsuld give her absolute military control of the fertile valley of the Ohio. General Edward Braddock was a brave man. There is no doubt of this as his campaigns in Europe testify, but he was obstinate, vain, incapable of restraint, supercillious and a man calculated to make foes rather than friends. The selection of Braddock was England's first great mistake in this memorable campaign. The second was in making Alexandria, Virginia, the base of operations instead of Philadelphia. The order was promulgated immediately upon the arrival of the royal troops, that all officers holding royal commissions were the superior in comman(l of those holding Provincial comimissions from the Governors of the colonies. The injustice of this caused Washington to resign his commission at once. He served in the Braddock campaign but without commission, and ranking as volunteer aide-de-camp to the commander-in-chief. Braddock on his arrival immediately embroiled himself with the colonists. He found it impossible to proceed us rapidly as he had hoped. He could not procure horses and teams for transporting his munitions, and the expedition would have been a failure, doubtless, had it not been that Benjamin Franklin came to the aid of Braddock and undertook personally to supply horses and teams for the transportation of the accoutrements and artillery of the royal forces. Then the march of the army was tedious in the extreme. A road had to be cut across the mountains with great toil while the colonial officers were continually fuming and fretting over the haughty superiority of the British regular officers. Braddock rode in a coach, did not mingle with the men as Washington and the others did, and in numerous ways increased the unrest, and provoked the dislike of the soldiers of Virginia. 7 7 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'OUSE ESTABLISHED 1836;SOLE OWNER AND PROPRIETOR OF THE''1855 AX UNIVERSALLY A CKNO WLEDGED FINEST PURE RYE WHISKEY Pte~G TELEPHONE No. 666 IMPORTED AND.....

Braddock and the men had hoped to win an easy victory. He depended upon the prowess of the English regulars, unmindful of the fact that they were wholly unaccustomed to the style of warfare upon which he had entered. Washington endeavored to awaken the royal officers to an appreciation of the latter fact, but the coldness and disrespect with which his suggestions were received, compelled him to abandon all attempts in that direction. As he approached Fort Duquesne, knowing that his movements were constantly watched by French scouts and Indian spies, Braddock determined to make a magnificent showing of his army. In his journal of that time Washington says that he stood on the hillside and watched Braddock's army cross the river preparatory to the battle and that it was the grandest sight he had ever witnessed. Each soldier was faultlessly dressed, and with drums beating, colors flying and the sun shining on the gleaming arms of the regulars. they presented a sight sufficient to strike terror into the hearts of the French and Indians. The English forces were three to one as compared with the French. The latter were under command of Captain de Beaujeu, who was killed in the first attack and who was succeeded in the command by Captain Dumas. The French and Indians marching out from Fort Duquesne at first contemplated contesting the passage of the English across the river; this was abandoned and Beaujeu disposed of his men among some ravines through which the English forces would be compelled to pass. At first the British regulars returned the fire of their foes, who were in concealment, with such effect that the French were repulsed. But they rallied quickly and, then the war cries of the Indians and the heavy firing from a concealed foe so demoralized the English that they fell into confusion, which ended in a rout and wholesale slaughter. Braddock was wounded and the direc- OLD TOWN HAIT, ATGLEGHENY CITY, TORN DOWN IN 1863. tion of the retreat devolved upon Washington. It was entirely owing to his courage, skill and experience, that every human being in the remnant of the army was not exterminated. As it was, out of 86 officers 26 were killed while 714 privates were either killed or wounded. Of the French and Indians only 3 officers and 30 men were killed. Early historians credited the death of Braddock to the French and Indians. This has been successfully disputed since, and it is now certain that the headstrong commander received his death at the hands of one of the colonial soldiers, Thomas Fausett by name. Fausett. claimed, years afterwards, that he shot Braddock through the lungs because he struck his brother Joseph Fausett with his sword for taking shelter behind a tree while firing at the Indians. By a strange fate Fausett, thirty odd years after, was buried near the grave of the man he killed. Braddock died three days after the battle and was buried near the scene of his death, Washington reading the burial service over him by the light of a torch. The direct result of this disaster was that in May, 1756, George II declared war against France and at once planned an American campaign and placed the Earl of Loudon in command. In the meantime the French and Indians had been desolating the country west of the mountains inhabited by the English. Settlers. were dragged from their homes to be tortured and burned at the stake. A reign of terror ensued. In 1758 London was recalled, the personelle of the military staff in North America was changed and General John Forbes was placed in command of the army west of the mountains. Forbes started for the western country with an army that dwarfed that of Braddock. It consisted of 1,250 Scotch Highlanders, 350 Royal Americans, 2,700 Pennsylvanians, 1,900 Virginia troops, 6,200 men in all. Again was Washington conspicuous in this campaign and to his superior intelligence and experience are traceable those results which ended the supremacy of France along the Ohio and practically throughout the whole of' North America. Forbes' army moved slowly, and early in September of that year found it in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. On September 5, Major Grant, who had been sent out to reconnoitre with a force of 800 men, was attacked by the French and Indians on Grant's Hill (upon whose summit the present court house in the city of Pittsburgh now stands) and overwhelmingly defeated with a loss of 300 men. The success of the English army in their operations in North America had weakened the hold of the French on Fort Duquesne, and it was apparent that it was only a. question of how long the garrison could hold out. The fall of Fort Frontenac on Lake Ontario on August 27, cut. OLD POS1T OFFICE. off the main source of supplies for Fort Duquesne, and this was the crowning stroke of disaster for them. On the 24th of November, 1758, when Forbes' army was almost in sight of the fort it was blown up by the French and the buildings. around it, thirty in number, burned to the ground. The French retreated in detachments up the Allegheny and down the Ohio, and with them disappeared the last vestige of French dominion at this point. On the following day, Saturday, November 25, 1758, the English army reached the blackened site of Fort Duquesne, the English flag -was hoisted by Colonel Armstrong, the hero of Kittanning, and at the suggestion cf General Forbes the place was named Pittsburgh, after William Pitt, Earl of Chatham.

CO UMBIAN FIREPRO OFING CO. FIRST AVENUE AND GRANT STR~EET, PITTSB URGH, PA,opened trade with the settlers of Pittsburgh and it soon became a point of great commercial interest. The first census of Pittsburgh was made on April 14, 1761, in which it is shown that the number of inhabitants was 233, with the addition of ninety-nine officers and soldiers, making the whole number 332 living in 104 houses. The town continued to receive acquisitions notwithstanding the fact that the roads leading to it were watched by savages who committed all sorts of outrages. These became so freouent that in 1764. Governor John Penn, by proclamation, offered the following rewards for the capture of Indians. "For every male captured $150, or for every scalp $134. For every female or male under ten years of age captured $130, or for the scalp of such female killed $50." As civilization pushed westward and settlements increased, the number of Indian outrages grew in number until the whole frontier was red with the blood of white men and the sky blackened with the smoke of torture fires. In the latter part of the spring of 1763 broke out the famous Indian campaign known as the Pontiac's war. The savages attacked all the frontier forts throughout the west. Fort Pitt was vigorously assaulted, all communication with the outside world cut off and with devilish ingenuity the Indians endeavored to reduce the garrison through famine, fire and fatigue. Captain Ecuyer, of the Royal American regiment, was in charge of Fort Pitt at this time. Colonel Henry Bouquet, who had acted under John Forbes, was sent to the relief of the beleaguered garrison. He met the Indians on the 28th of July, 1763, near Bushy run, twenty-two miles east of Pittsburgh, and defeated them, with severe loss. In September of the following year Bouquet on his way further west reached Fort Pitt with a detachment of Pennsylvania troops. A redoubt was built, which to-day is the sole existing monument of British dominion west of the Alleghenies. The stone tablet which was put into a wall of the redoubt, now occupies a prominent place at the head of the main stairway in the City Hall of Pittsburgh. It reads: "COLL-BOUQUET, A. D. 1764." | In this same year Col. John Campbell laid out into lots that part of the city of Pittsburgh which lies between Water street and Second avenue and between Ferry and Market streets. This was the first step towards building a town. On the 8th of January, 1769, a warrant was issued for the survey of the " Manor of Pittsburgh. " It was found to contain 5,766 acres, lying on both sides of the Monongahela, but principally on the east. One year later Washington visited Pittsburgh for the last time, and he has left this record of the visit. " The houses which are built of logs and ranged in streets are on the AMonongahela, and I suppose may number twenty, and inhabited by Indian traders." In October, 1772, Major Edmonson, who commanded the Garrison of Fort Pitt, received orders to abandon the post. Although the erection of this fort cost the British government over $300,000, yet Edmonson sold for $250 all the iron, wood-, work and other saleable material about the place. Immediately upon its abandonment, the Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, took possession of the fort. For a number of years ensuing there was a struggle between Pennsylvania and Virginia over boundary lines which involved the possession of the inchoate city, the details of which it is not necessary to enter into at this time. Suffice to say that the extension of Mason and Dixon's line in 1784 ended the matter in favor of Pennsylvania. The period of unrest in Pittsburgh prior to the revolutionary period was heightened by the dread of an Indian invasion, so much so that a petition was sent to John Penn by the citizens of the town asking for protection. In 1775 the number of dwelling houses within the limits of the city did not exceed twenty-five or thirty. In the spring of 1784, arrangements were made by Tench Francis, the agents of the Penns, to lay out the Manor of Pittsburgh. During the Revolutionary War, Fort Pitt remained in possession of the colonial army, and was the center of government authority west of the Allegheny mountains. A glimpse of Pittsburgh in 1784 is furnished by Arthur Lee, diplomat and Indian commissioner who stopped in Pittsburgh on his way west. Concerning the place he says: "Pittsburgh is inhabited almost entirely by Scotch and Irish, who live in paltry log houses, and are as dirty as in the north of Ireland or even Scotland. There is a great deal of small trade carried on; the goods being brought at the vast expense of forty-five shillings per cwt., from Philadelphia and Baltimore. They take in the shop as money wheat, flour and skins. There are in the town four attorneys, two doctors, and not a priest of any persuasion, nor church, nor chapel. The rivers, encroach fast on the town; and to such a degree that, as a gentleman told me, the Allegheny had, within thirty years of his memory, carried away one hundred houses. The place, I believe, will never be very considerable." It was in the midst of such discouragements as these that John Scull and Joseph Hall, who are described as two poor but enterprising young men, began the publication of The Pittsburgh Gazette, the first copy of which was issued on the 29th of July, 1786. Allegheny county, which to-day possesses the peculiarity of being the only county in the United States having three cities within its limits, viz: Pittsburgh, Allegheny and McKeesport, was organized by act of the General Assembly September 24, 1788. In 1792 a triangular strip of ground, which embraces the present city of Erie, was purchased, thus giving the State a harbor on the lake, and added Erie to Allegheny county. Pittsburgh was raised to the dignity of a city in 1816. In the closing decade of the last century the Indians along the frontier again became troublesome. Great alarm was felt in Pittsburgh, and fortifications were thrown up for the protection of the place. General Anthony Wayne, in command of an expedition against the Indians, arrived in Pittsburgh in June, 1792. He made his -winter quarters on the Ohio, just below Pittsburgh. The following year he moved on to the west, and in the following year, August 20, 1794, fought and defeated the Indians at "Falling Timbers." This forever ended Indian troubles about Pittsburgh. The Whiskey Insurrection of western Pennsylvania, celebrated in history, centered around Pittsburgh. Then, as now, the Monongahela Valley was noted for its distilleries. To assist in paying the Revolutionary War debt Congress passed a law in 1791 imposing a tax of from nine to twventy-five cents per gallon on distilled spirits. Opposition to the enforcement of the law was immediate and intense. A convention was held in Pittsburgh in September of that year, at which the Excise law was denounced and the administration of President. Washington assailed. The law was amended in 1792, but the government experienced the greatest difficulty in enforcing collections. Some distillers paidlPOWER HOUSE AND CAR BARNS OF THE DUQUESNE TRACTION COM-'ANY tAT energetic electric street-railway builders canl accomplish in a single year is well illustrated in the recently completed Duquesne Electric Street Railway, which furnishes rapid transit to half a dozen of the delightful suburbs, which taken collectively are known as the "East End." Ground was broken for the 28 miles of track in I890o, and in February of this year the roadbed, car-house, power-station, line work, and rolling stock were all ready for operation, when an unfortunate fire resulting from a gasoline explosion destroyed nearly the entire power plant. This occasioned three months delay, and the line was finally opened for service May 2ist, I89I. Since that date sixty cars have been in operaticn, doing much to develop the outlying districts. The power-house is at Ben Venue Station alongside the Pennsylvania Railroad, and nearly one-third of a mile from the nearest street traversed by the Duquesne cars. This location was selected to save expense in the handling of fuel. Twelve Thompson-Houston generators driven by three Wetherill-Corliss engines, two of 6oo horse power each, and one of 500 horse power, constitute the essential machinery of the plant. The boilers are in two batteries, and in one of these batteries crude oil vaporized by steam jets is successfully used for fuel. The Duquesne car house at Bellefield, is a substantial and imposing structure of brick and iron, I40 feet wide, 400 feet long, with numerous sky lights, incandescent electric lights and every modern device for the rapid handling and care of the rolling stock. The officers are C. L. Magee, president; Jas. A. McDevitt, secretary; Jno. F. Steel, treasurer.the tax; others refused. Witnesses, collectors and all others interested in the enforcement of the law, were beaten and subjected to indignities of all sorts. A number of distilleries whose owners had paid the tax were wrecked. An attempt was made to kill General John Neville, inspector of the district. In July, 1794, several thousand of the malcontents, armed and equipped, met at Braddock field, and under the leadership of one, Bradford marched to Pittsburgh. Bradford seized the mails, and would have stolen guns and ammunition from the arsenal at Pittsburgh had it not been for the firm attitude of the officer in charge. On the 25th of September, 1794, President Washington called out the militia of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia, 15,000 men in all. The larger portion of the army marched to Pittsburgh, but before this the ringleaders in the insurrection had fled, while many of the others quietly submitted. In 1788 Pittsburgh contained about 500 inhabitants. In 1790 the entire population of the county was placed at 10,309; in 1800 it was 15,087. From this time on the history of Pittsburgh is one of gradual growth. Coming on down the years we find that in 1810 the population of the city had increased to 4,768; in 1830 it was 12,542; in 1840, 21,115, and in 1860 it had reached 124,844. To -e population of Pittsburgh is 262,000; Allegheny 115,000, and Allegheny county aggregates upward of 600,000. Between the years 1886 and 1893, Pittsburgh proper has opened up 124 miles of new streets, paved 33 miles, sewered 70 miles and laiti 77 miles of water pipe. She had in 1893, 161 miles of paved streets, 105 miles of streets sewered, and 233 miles piped. These streets are lighted by over 1,600 arc lights of 200 candle power, in addition to 2,416 gasoline lamps, and over 150 incandescent lamps. Since 1880 over 28,076 houses have been erected in Pittsburgh, at a cost of more than $57,824,105. Among its conspicuous buildings are, the new Federal Building, which cost $1,500,000; the Court House, $2,500,000; the Carnegie Library, $1,100,000. The Carnegie Library in Allegheny cost nearly $400,000. OLDn DRURY THEATER. NEvLLUE STREET FIRE ENGINE HOUSE. The total valuation of Allegheny county is about $500,000,000. This includes Pittsburgh, wvhose taxable property amounts, according to the valuation for 1893, to $223,770,787, and Allegheny whose taxable property amounts to $81,994,485, and McKeesport, taxed on the sum of $12,906,205. There are besicles this a number of boroughs and townships with a valuation of $116,000,000. Property to the value of $47,700,000 is exempt from taxation in the county. Pittsburgh has helped to make glorious the -war history of the Union. In the war of 1812, Allegheny county furnished two companies. The rigging and cordage fbr Colmmodore Perry's fleet were manufactured in Pittsburgll. Four companies were recruited in the county for the Mexican War of 1846. In December, 1860, the prompt action of the loyal citizens of Pittsburgh prevented the shipment of 150 cannon from the Allegheny Arsenal to New Orleans. Six days after the firing onl Fort Sumter a company of forty Pittsburghers, under command of Captain Robert McDowell, marched across the country from Harrisbulg to Washington, and offered their services to Secretary Stanton. During the war Allegheny county furnished over 20,000 soldiers for the suppression of the rebellion. There are thousands of maimed survivors of the great rebellion who remember Pittsburgh's hospitality with overflowing heart. The Subsistence Committee, a voluntary association of leading citizens, was organized in July, 1861, and continued in active existence until the war was over and the last soldiers had returned to their homes, the 1st of January, 1866. During this time it had furnished meals to 409,745 soldiers, besides caring for 79,460 sick and wounded in the soldiers' homes. The great Sanitary Fair, wvhich was held in the Allegheny Diamond in the summer of 1864, realized $361,516. A part of this sum mas devoted to the endowment of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital where wounded soldiers were sheltered and cared for, and the remainder, over $203,000, was handed over to the managers of the Pittsburgh Sanitary Soldiers' Home.OLD EXPORT WHISKEY XoXaLE,I, Is now recognized as the standard of excellence of this community, being absolutely pure, well aged and palatable.

LLEGHENY, which lies on the north bank of the Allegheny and Ohio river, is Pittsburgh's twin sister. It was settled shortly after Pittsburgh. When Allegheny county was organized its commissioners were authorized by the Legislature, on September 24, 1788, to erect the court house and other county buildings on what was known as " the reserve tract opposite Pittsburgh." In September of the previous year the executive council of the Commonwealth, had ordered this to be laid out as a manor. This was done and "Allegheny town" was called into existence when 144 lots, each 60 by 240 feet, were plotted. This reserve tract. as it was known, comprised 3,000 acres reserved by the State by act of March 12, 1783, out of lands appropriated for the redemption of the certificates of depreciation given to the officers and soldiers of Pennsylvania in the Revolutionary War. By an act of Assembly approved April 14, 1828, Allegheny was made a borough. In 1840 it became a city. Allegheny is a distinct municipality from P'ittsburgh and is a city of the second class. It is largely a city of homes, for numbers of its residents have their places of business in Pittsburgh, while residing in Allegheny or in some of its beautiful suburbs. At various tinles attempts have been made to consolidate the two cities but without effect. The combined population of both cities is 343,904, of which 238,617 belong to Pittsburgh, and 105,287 to Allegheny. The attractions of Allegheny are its beautiful parks, the Carnegie Public Library and numerous other public buildings and institutions. THE SOCIAL SIDE OF PITTSBURGH. How the Pioneers of the Western Wilderness Lived in the Days of the Forefathers.-Amusements and Intellectual Pursuits.-The Pittsburgh of To-day.- Its Theatres, Societies, Charitable Institutions and Newspapers. ERE in Pittsburgh the story of its socialogical aspect is full of intense and absorbing interest. It is a history of evolution wrought in a century of time; as we see it now, the log cabin of the frontiersman has given place to the palatial mansion of the merchant prince or manufacturer; the flicker of the tallow dip has been succeeded by the blaze of the electric light, while the mirror of fashion reflects silks, satins, jewels and broadcloth wlere ten decades it shadowed a deerskin suit and a linsey-woolsey frock. The society of early Pittsburgh was of the rudest sort, but through it ran a vein of rugged honesty and wholesome hospitality, characteristics which have survived among the descendants of the first settlers, to the present day. It will be interesting to those who are unfamiliar with the early history of Pittsburgh to know that the " boycott," as we understand it, had its origin around the forks of the Ohio. From an early sketch of western Pennsylvania, it appears that, "the punishment of idleness, lying, dishonesty and ill fame generally was that of'hating the offender out.' " It was our boycott- pure and simple. It was the public expression of a general sentiment of indignation. At house raisings, log rollings and harvest homes, the unfortunate victim of' the "hating out" process was let severely alone. From the same source we learn a great deal that is interesting about the homes, habits, amusements and occupations of the first settlers around the head waters of the Ohio up to the close of the last century. " Their buildings were of the rudest kind. A spot was selected on which to erect a house, and on an appointed day, a company of -choppers met, felled trees, cut them off at proper lengths, while a man with a team hauled them to the place-this while a carpenter was in search of a straight-grained tree fbr making clap-boards for the roof. The boards were split four feet long, with a large frow, and as wide as the timber would allow-they were used without shaving. Some were employed in getting puncheons for the floor of the cabin; this was done by splitting trees about eighteen inches in diameter, and hewing the faces of them with a broad axe. They were half the length of the floor they were intended to make.. These were the usual preparations for the first day-the second day the neighbors collected, raised and finished the house.'"The third day's work generally consisted of'furnituring' the house, supplying it with a clap-board table, made of a split slab, and supported by four raised legs set in auger holes. Some three leggedstools were made in the same manner. Some pins stuck in the logs, at the back of the house, supported some clap-boards which served for shelves for the table furniture, consisting of a few pewter dishes, plates and spoons; but mostly of wooden bowls, trenchers and nogT- LI -_ -... - 1'11 - -A -1 II 3 _,1 gins. it these last were scarce, gourds ana nara-shelled squashes, made up the deficiency.

A single fork, placed with its lower end in a hole in the floor, and the upper end fastened to a joist, st-rved for a bedstead, by placing a pole in the fork with the one end through a crack between the logs of the wall. This front pole was crossed by a shorter one within the fork, with its outer end through another crack. From {he first pole, through a crack between the logs of the end of the house, the boards were put on, which formed the bottom of the bed. Sometimes other poles were pinned -to the fork a little distance above these, for the purpose of supporting the front and foot of the bed, while the walls were the support of its back and its head.

The cabin being finished, the next ceremony was'the house-warming.' This was a dance of a whole night's continuance, prior to the cabin being moved into. "The diet of the first settlers was mainly hog and hominy. Johnny cake and pone were the bread for breakfast and dinner, mush and milk a standard dish for supper. When milk was not plenty, which was often the case, the substantial dish of hominy had to serve the place of it; mush was frequently eaten with sweetened water, molasses, bear's oil, or the gravy of fried meat. " Their dress was partly Indian and partly of civilized nations. The hunting shirt was universally worn. This was a kind of a loose frock, reaching half way down the thighs, with large sleeves, open before, and so wide as to lap over a foot or more when belted. The cape was large, and sometimes handsomely fringed with a r'avelled piece of cloth of a different color from that of the hunting shirt itself. The bosom of this dress served as a wallet to hold a chunk of bread, cakes, jerk, tow for wiping the barrel of the rifle, or any other necessary for the hunter or warrior. The belt wvhich was tied behind, answered several purposes, besides that of holding the dress together. In cold weather, the mittens, and sometimes the bullet bag, occupied the front part of it. To the right side was suspended the tomahawk, and on the left the scalping knife in its leathern sheath. " The hunting shirt was generally made of linsey, sometinmes of coarse linen, and a few of dressed dleer skins. These last were very cold and uncomfortable in wet weather, The shirt and jacket were of the common fashion. A pair of drawers or breeches, and leggins, CLUBS OF PITTSBURGH. were the dress of the thighs and legs; a pair of moccasiins answered for the feet much better than shoes. These wvere made of ldressed deer skins. They were mostly made of a single piece, with a gathered seam along the top of the foot, and another from the bottom of the heel, without gathers, as high as the ankle joint, or a little higher. Flaps were left on each side to reach some distance ul) the legs. These were nicely adapted to the ankles, and lower part of the leg, by thongs of deer skin, so that no cldust, gravel or snow. could get within the moccasin. "The moccasin in ordinary use cost but a few hour's labor to make them. In cold weather the moccasins were stuffed with deer'.s hair or dry leaves, so as to keep the feet comfortably warm. "The linsey petticoat and bed gown, which were the universal dress of our women in earlier times, would make a very singular figure in our days. A small, home-made handkerchief, in point of elegance, would illy supply the profusionl of ruffles with which the necks of our ladies are now ornamented. They went barefooted in warm weather, and in cold their feet were covered with moccasins, overshoes or shoepacks, which would make but a sorry ligure beside the elegant morocco slippers, often embossed with bullion, which at present ornament the feet of their daughters and grand-daughters. "The coats and bed gowns of the women, as well as the hunting shirts of the men, were hung in full display on wooden pegs round the walls of their cabins, so that while they answered in some degree, the place of paper hangings or tapestry, they announced to the stranger, as well as neighbor, the wealth or poverty of the family in the article of clothing. This practice prevailed for a long time.1K An-~ P Th{IT (m v C -n-tcIn Is Like a Meat Without Pickles ~ Fill t~' FL \.- lILI~AAl-VERY DRY.. X.........

Life goes on here soberly, (lecently. Our rich people arenot extravagant, do not llnake: show, do not set themselves up above the rest of us. And our poor people are poor only by comparison; there is but little destitution. For the most part there is work here and good pay for every man who is disposed to be industrious. Men -who live in small houses on back strleets, and wotuld ibe taken perhaps for poor men, get salaries for their day's work in the mills which are envied by the ministers. "Sunday is better observed in Pittsburgh and Allegheny than in any other cities of equal size between the two oceans. The streets are quiet. In the summer people go out in the afternoon and evening to the parks, and behave themselves. Everything is closed up, the saloons have a vacation; Sunday base ball, Sunday theatres are unknown. The churches are well filled. Pittsburgh was well trained at the start, and has never forgotten it. The bulk of its early inhabitants were of Scotch-Irish origin, and brought up in the strict ways of their fathers. Pittsburgh was a Puritan colony, a bit of New England set down beyond the Allegheny mountains. Our debt to the Presbyterian church can never be paid, and is every year being made greater." In the rush for wealth the advantage of social position and culture are not overlooked. The people of Pittsburgh love the bright side of life. Each succeeding year sees them giving more time to pleasure and social intercourse. It has a number of clubs, three of which own spacious and beautiful buildings. There are seven theatres, half a dozen gymnasiums, and several riding academies. There is also an Art Society, Academy of Science and Art, School of Design, Symphony Orchestra, Mozart Club and IMicroscopical Society. More than this, the two cities, Allegheny and Pittsburgh, support fifty-eight benevolent institutions. Of this number the Dixmont Hospital for the Insane is one of the most noted institutions in the country. There is also the Western Pennsylvania, Homeopathic, the Allegheny General, the South Side, Mercy and St. Francis, and the Children's Hospitals, Home for Incurables, the Infirmary and three dispensaries. There are eighteen asylumns for orphans, infirm and aged persons. There is a large institution for the blind and another for the deaf and dumb. The newsboys home and the association for the improvement of the poor are efficient charities. A college settlement, Kingsley House, is located in the Ninth Ward. Schenley Park, the gift of Mrs. Schenley, of England, formerly cf I'ittsburgh, is a magnificent expanse, bountifully endowed by nature with retreats of rare beauty. Highland Park presents a view of the surrounding country unsurpassed for beauty. The area of Pittsburgh's parks embraces 678 acres. U. S. COURT HoUSE AND POST OFFICE. In the suburbs of Pittsburgh are to be found miles of shady streets and thousands of beautiful homes. The city is not to be judged by the smoky center of business. Pittsburgh is a city of rare beauty when properly seen under the intelligent guidance of some of its citizens. Fourteen bridges span the two rivers, and in the past five years $14,000,000 have been expended on these structures. The growing intellectuality of this vast manufacturing center is shownl in the fact that its people read over three hundred thousand newspapers every day. Its newspapers are among the most progressive and enterprising in the United States. In point of mechanical equipiment and ability of -wTriting staff the Pittsburgh daily journals are abreast of the great metropolitan dailies. There are seventy-one newspaper establishmeilts in the city. Seven morning, four English and three German, and three evening newspapers are published. RELIGION AND EDUCATION. The Beginning of Religious Effort in the Primeval Forest at the Forks of the Ohio.-Presbyterianism Gains a Foothold.-The First Missionary Sermon at Fort Pitt.-Denominational Growth in the City.--First Schools.-Development of the Public School System. HE first voice of praise and thanksgiving that ever trembled on the air of the primeval forest on the site of Ilittsburgh was that of a Jesuit priest in the sacrifice of the muass -when Concracoeur andl his little army of invasion captured the fort, yet the city has always been a bulwark of Protestantism. This, no doubt, is owing to the fact that the land around the forks of the Ohio was largely settled by Scotch and Irish, Presbyterians and Covenanters for the most part. The first clergyman to locate in Pittsburgh, after the departure of the French, was the Rev. Mr. McLagan, chaplain of the Forty-second Regiment, which was stationed at Fort Pitt, in 1766. The religious condition of the inhabitants at this time was evidently very deplorable, for James Kenny, a Quaker, in his diary a few years previous says: "Many of ye inhabitants have hired a schoolmaster, and subscribed about sixty pounds for this year for him; he has about twenty scholars, likewise, ye sober sort of people seem to long for some public -Nway of worship, so -e schoolmaster, etc., reads ye Litany and Common Prayer on ye first day to a congregation of different principles (he being a Prisbiterant), -where they behave very grave (as I hear), on ye occasion, ye children are brought to church as they call it." In 1766, the Rev. Charles Beatty was appointed by the Synod of New York and Philadelphia to visit the frontier. Un the 5tll of September he arrived at Fort Pitt. Of the embryo city he says that it was " some kind of a town without the fort." So far as we lhave an~y knowledge, Rev. Beatty wavas the first Presbyterian clergyman to minister to the inhabitants of Pittsburgh. Though the circumstances of territorial conquest drove the first missionaries of the Roman Catholic church from the banks of " La Belle Rivere," yet the church has ever been solicitous for the welfare of its members here from the earliest days. Up to the close of the last century priests from other fron.tier points visited Pittsburgh and ministered to the people. The first resident priest was Rev. W. F. X. O'Brien, wh-lo located here in 1808. The first Episcopal visit was paid by Right Right Rev. Michael Eagin in 1811. The See of Pittsburgh wvas _ l:115,~PLCVJ L 1L Y1 LLLLW lljl ~ ~~Lyr~r~c..........

The first Catholic church was erected through the labors of Father O'Brien in 1811. The Baptists followed the Presbyterians very closely into the western wilds. The first Baptist church was organized some miles south of Pittsburgh in 1773, the same year in which the Rev. John McMillan began organizing Presbyterian churches in the country round - 1. 1 1 I- -,....... - about Pittsburgh. The first Baptist church in the town proper was organized in 1812. It is now known as the Fourth Avenue church. The first Presbyterian church within the city limits was organized in 1785. Of the other denominations which have spread the light of the gospel here, the German Evangelical Protestant church had an organization as early as 1787, Rev. Wilhelm Weber being pastor. It was on the brick building owned by this congregation in 1833, that the first church bell in Pittsburgh swung. The United Presbyterians were first known as the "Associate Congregation of Pittsburgh " in 1801. The Reformed Presbyterian church had sufficient of a following as early as 1799, to justify them in calling Rev. John B'lack as their pastor. The "Associate Reformed church," now known as the Second United Presbyterian church, had preaching in Pittsburgh in 1794. The Protestant Episcopal church was on the ground at a very early day. In 1787, the Penns made a deed to certain trustees of this denomination, although no church was erected until 1805. The early Methodists in Pittsburgh came from England and Ireland, and were evidently full of the fire and zeal that characterized the followers of Wesley. The Honorable J. W. F. White, ifn 1,41 s )pai:s. iak'i:' g xt:'!t co:tmptrt.^e h ten s i ve c tenXit-al sketch of the churches and schools of Pittsburgh, savs, concerning thi s denomination: "The first Methodists that ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. settled in Pittsburgh were emigrants from England or Ireland about the year 1800, perhaps two or three families. They brought over a little of theMethodis fire and enthusiasm of the old country; held prayer meetings and experience meetings and sang joyful hymns. They were regarded as fanatics or religious enthusiasts, were ridiculed and despised and the preachers denounced as ignoramuses. "John Wrenshall, a local preacher, and Thomas Cooper, a class leader, both emigrants from England, were among the first, if not the very first Methodists, who settled in Pittsburgh. Thomas Cooper came over in 1803; John Wrenshall perhaps earlier. Prior to that date some Methodist itinerants, as well as locals, had preached in Pittsburgh, but no society had been formed." As early as 1788, however, the Pittsburgh circuit was formed, which practically embraced all the country within one hundred miles of Pittsburgh, west of the mountains. Rev. Charles Conway was the circuit rider. In 1789 Bishop Asbury visited Fort Pitt and preached. In 1790 the total membership in the circuit was only ninety-seven. From these hlumble antl inauspicious beginnings the denominations have grown to magnificent proportions. In the two cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny there are now over 272 churches. The statistics for 1893, the last obtainable, show that of this number fifty-three are Methodist, seventy one Presbyterian, divided into fbour communions, forty-eight are Lutheran, forty-three Roman Catholic, twenty-one Baptist, and twenty Episcoralian. Of other denominations there are seven of the Christian or Disciple church, five Reform churches, three Congregationalist, two Universalist. There are five Jewish synagogues and one church each of Unitarian, Latter Day Saints, New Jerusalem, Free New Church anid Church of God. There is also one society of Spiritualists, a Salv-ation Army Station, a Theosophical society and a Secular society. 01' the churches forty-six minister to the German population and seventeen to colored people. There are also ministrations in the Welsh, I Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian, Swedish, Italian and French languages. TRINITY CHURCH. In addition to this the Catholic church has fourteen religious houses. There are some notable church buildings in Pittsburgh. The square, unadorned, and ungraceful brick edifices, so suggestive of cold formality, of earlier years, are giving way to structures of great architectural beauty and handsome interior adornment. Three of the most attractive buildings of the latter sort belong to the Presbyterians; the First Presbyterian church, a very stately and dignified structure, Shadyside and East Liberty Presbyterian churches, white stone buildings, with graceful tower cloistures.

The Fourth Avenue Baptist church is the largest and Inost commodious edifice belonging to that denomination. Trinity Episcopal church is one of the finest specimens of gothic architecture in America. It is located on Sixth avenue above Wood street and stands on land donated by the Penns. But the nmost striking religious edifice is the Romain Catholic cathedral at the corner of Grant street and Fifth avenue. It is of brick wvith graceful twin campaniles and is especially noted for its handsome interior. Its red brick exterior is stained with the soot and storms of nearly half a century, but despite this fact it is the miost conspicuous church structure in the city. The first school in Pittsburgh of which we have any knowledge was that referred to by the Quaker Kenny in 1761, the schoolmaster of which received sixty pounds for his first year of effort teaching the frontier youth in the log cobins outside the barracks of Fort Pitt. IReading, writing and cyphering was the curriculum of those early days, and the New Testament and Bible were primer and reader. Ministers of the various denominations usually conducted a " day " school where, besides the rudiments of' the English language, the catechism was taught daily. The Pittsburgh Academy was chartered in 1787. In 1819 it was merged into the Western University of Pennsylvania, an institution which to-day is the educational pride of the two cities. The first public school in Pittsburgh was opened in rented rooms at the corner of Duquesne Way and Seventh street in 1835. Very shortly after three other schools were opened in the First, Second and Third wards. Seven teachers were employed during this year. The growth of the system since then has been one of steady progress. There are now 1,037 teachers employed to impart knowledge to 52,000 pupils in 102 school buildings. The value of the buildings and grounds in Pittsburgh and Allegheny is about $4,817,633.00. There are thirty-two school districts, two high schools, and a normal school. WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA EXPOSITION BUILDINGS, DUQUESNE WAY. In addition to those already noted, there are located in Pittsburgh and Allegheny three IJiiversities, thlree Femlale Colleges, seven Seminaries and eight Academies, besides seren fiee Kindergartens. Among the institutions of Pittsburgh, which have scored a miarked success, the Western Pennsylvania Exposition deservedly stands in the very frcnt rank. The substantial and elegant buildings are located almost on the historic spot known to history as Fort Duquesne; the scene of the early struggles and triumphs of the American people over the wary savage as well as the trained soldiers of France and England. The first Exposition was held in 1889, followed by others in 1890, 1891, 1892 and 1893, all cf which have been phenomenal successes. The ecordls of the Society for these years, show an aggregate attendance of over 2,500,000 persons and the net profits dturing th.it period nearly $250,000, abundantly prove that the institution is popular, and appreciated by the citizens of western PennsylNvania. An Exposition is held annually. Its management is composed of some of the best known business Ien of Pittsburgh, who )p ssess the confidence of the people. Its character and standing is of the highest. Its exhibitions are elevating and instructive, an( the enterprise is recognized as the leading one of the kind in the country. Prosperous and financially sound, it has a most encouraging outlook, and it is safe to say, that the Avonderful successes of the past five years which are now phaced to its credit, will be repeated in the future. Energy, enterprise and intelligence have accomplished much for Pittsburgh, but in no single industry have greater triumphs been chronicled than those placed to the credit of Pittsburgh's pride, The Western Pennsylvania Exposition Society.6MM1HIFIJ~L STRIT,ZT ANI) SIXTHi AVgNfll IRWIN AVJgNuZ, ALJE;GHFNV.HAVANA CIGARS BRIAR PIPES AND MAKERS OF PITTSBURG STOGIES 7) %7 CHARLES H.

Pittsburgh Leads the World in the Number and Variety of Great Manufacturing Establishments.-A Large Proportion of all the Iron, Steel and Glass of the Country is Made Here.-Her Coal Tonnage the Greatest in the Universe, Area Considered.-A Record of Superlatives. ITTSBURGH'S proud pre-eminence as the great and distinctively manufacturing city of the United States, has never been disputed. The story of its mills, mines and factories, as told by the finished product, has been recited in every land beneath the sun. She manufactures more iron and glass and rye whiskey than any city on the continent; she mines more coal, considering the area, than any district in the world. From the wells in her immediate vicinity more oil has flowed and natural gas poured forth, than ever came from the bowels of mother earth in any district in this favored land or in any country beyond the seas. There is nothing in the wide domain of the mechanic arts that this city has not achieved. It was a Pittsburgh engineer who invented the great Ferris wheel. To-day one of Pittsburgh's claims to greatness is the number of her great establishments. The largest Bessemer steel works and the largest crucible plant are located here. The largest plate glass factory in the -world lies just outside her borders. She has the largest glass tableware factory, the largest lamp chimney ifactory, the largest cork factory, the greatest air-brake works, the largest pickle and vinegar works, and the largest tube works. Pittsburgh's foundries have cast the cannon for three wars. One of her foundries, which was established in 1803, cast the cannon which blazed iu victory froILI Perry's little fleet on Lake Erie. Guns and shells for the Mexican Awar were manufactured here. From 1861 to 1864 over tvwo thousand guns for the army and navy, from the great Columbiad, weighing one hundred thousand pounds and throwing a projectile of one thousand pounds, down to the six pounders, were made right here in Pittsburgh. The growth of P'ittsburgh's varied industries, if traced in elaborate detail, would require a volume. The statistics for the year 1892, which are the latest obtainable, make of themsef'ves a recital of superlative interest, which far exceeds anything which might be written concerning the beginnings of our industries. Allegheny county, which is only a part of the tributary territory of Pittsburgh, produces eighteen per cent. of the total amount of pig iron manufactured in the United States. That is one-fifth as much as is made in all Great Britain, one-third the product of Germany, two-thirds the product of France, twice as much as is made in Belgium or in Russia, three times as much as is made in Sweden, and six times as much as is made in Spain. Allegheny county produces thirty-five per cent, of the total product of steel in the United States; being nearly half as much as is manufactured in Great Britain, more than half the output of Germany, more than the whole product of France, five times that of Belgium and Russia, and twenty-two times that of Spain. The twenty-six blast furnaces and sixty-two rolling mills of this territory produced, in 1892, 1,775,257 tons of pig iron, 55,722 tons of crucible steel ingots, 1,550,252 tons of all other kinds of steel, 1,188,727 tons of rails, bars, bolts, rods, shapes and skelp iron, and 248,369 tons of sheets and -plates. More than half of the Bessemer steel, of the rolled iron and steel, of the rails, and of the plates and sheets made in the United States are manufactured here. At the several plants of a great corporation, capitalized at $25,000,000, there have been produced in one month 100,000 tons of pig iron, spiegel and fero-manganese ores, 100,000 tons of coke, and 50,000 tons of limestone. In addition, there was made and shipped a finished product of over 100,000 tons, consisting of open-hearth and Bessemer steel blooms, billets, slabs, plates for boilers and bridges and tanks, and various structural shapes, Bessemer steel rails firom sixteen to eighty-five pounds per yard, car forgings and wire nails. i'rom twenty to twenty-ive carloads ot material are lhandled every day. The capacity of one plant for MUNICIPAL HALL, SMIPHFILLD STREIT. the manufacture of steel rails exceeds sixteen miles of single track per day. This concern directly employs more than 10,000 men. There are 82,000 operatives in Pittsburgh's mills and workshops, and 31,000 in the coal mines and coke regions; 16,000 are employed in mercantile establishments, and 15,000 work on river craft and railways, a grand total of 144,000, representing a population of 720,000. Two establishments are engaged in the building of locomotives. One of these makes an exclusive speciality of light locomotives, building to any practicable gauge of track, from eighteen to seventy-two inches. Locomotives of their make are running in nearly every State and Territory in the Union, in a large number of the States of Central and South American coast, and in Asia.

Step by step he won promotion until he was breveted Brigadier General. In the second battle of Bull Run he was severely wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederates. He rejoined his regiment and served until the close of the war. He was one of the first of the veterans to organize the Grand Army of the Republic. Was the first Commander of Post No. 6, Germantown. Appointed Provisional Commander toone standard and narrow gauge engines were made, in weight from five to sixty-five tons. This plant has a capacity of 300 locomotives a. year. Seven great establishments for the manufacture of wrought iron tubes represent a capital of three millions of dollars. Upwards of 55,000 tons of malleable iron are made here every year. The annual output of six factories making nuts and bolts exceeds 43,000 tons. The yearly product of elliptic and spiral springs is about 18,000 tons. The wire works ship more than 80,000 tons a year. The melting capacity of thirty-seven foundries closely approaches 190,000 tons. Nearly all the great railways use switches and signals made in Pittsburgh. The largest automatic car-coupler plant in the country is located here. Pittsburgh bridge builders have spanned the rivers of the country. Nearly three millions of dollars are invested in seven bridge works. The bitiuminous coal fields of the Pittsburgh district are of unknown extent, and their product is shipped in great coal fleets down the Ohio river, besides feeding the furnace fires of the great manufacturing establishments of the city. Natural gas, obtained by boring from one to two thousand feet, and piped from innumerable wells into the city, supplies a constant and clean fuel which is used both in mills and in private houses. Nearly 68,000,000 barrels of the highest grade of oil have been pumped in the neighborhoo(l of Pittsburgh during the past four years, the market price averaging sixty cents a barrel. This oil has been sold for more than $40,000,000. The Pittsburgh district has thus produced three-fifths of the quantity of the entire output of the whole country during that time, and seven-eights of the value. In 1893 the coke regions, owned in Pittsburgh, produced 6,300,691 tons, valued at $12,000,000. The coke country contains 87,886 acres, 11,219 of which have been mined, 682 reserved for buildings and 75.864 still held in reserve. There are 17,327 ovens. Seven of the eleven firms engaged in the manufacture of plate-glass are located in Allegheny county. Over $10,000,000 are investcd.. Duiring the past twenty years the total prodution of plate-glass in this country has been multiplied bv ten. In consequence this article, equalling the best European make, has been reduced more than fifty per cent. in price. Allegheny county produces more than half of all the plate-glass made in the United States. Twenty-three firms are engaged in the manufacture of flint and lime glass. The annual production of table ware alone exceeds in quantity 24,000 tons, and in value $40,000,000. This is the leading brass market in the country, especially for architectural and domestic purposes. The capital invested in the wholesale hardware business here is nearly $3,000,000. The white lead industry is of great importance, the annual product being about 600,000 kegs of twenty-five pounds each. Lead ore and base bullion are refined here. The freight on these last year amounted to $322,000. The product was: silver, 9,165,000 ounces; gold, 34,000 ounces; copper, 600 tons; lead, 215,000 tons; the whole valued at $11,000,000. The shipments in and out weighed 47,813 tons. Pittsburgh has been identified with the copper interests for half a century. In 1843 some of our citizens began mining for this. metal in the Lake Superior district, and their two mills continue to ship largely to all parts of the coantry. The altecnating electrical apparatus made here for incandescent lighting plants are used in 500 central stations distributed over the inhabited world, and every night set blazing more than two million lamps. One of the best electric motors for street railways is manu-- factured here. The capital invested in eight electric plants amounts to $27,500,000. Pittsburgh illuminated the World's Fair at Chicago. The window glass factories of this county produce about twenty-five per cent. of the total output of the United States.

The general mercantile interests of this city are protected and advancedl by the Chamlber of Commerce, anl association of the foremostmerchants, manufacturers and citizens. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION. The First Drayman in Pittsburgh Died of a Broken Heart.-Pittsburgh Built Ships that Carried her Name Beyond the Sea.-The First Steamboat and Railroad Line-Our Tonnage Greater Than That of any City on the Globe. HAT Pittsburgh has the greatest railway and river traffic of any city on the globe is conceded. Its mines, mills and factories are pouring forth their riches to the four corners of the earth with increasing abundance every year. It is a city, magnificent alike in its progress and its products. The organizer of the first system of local transportation in Pittsburgh died of a broken heart. His name was James Rattle, an Englishman, who settled in Pittsburgh in 1797, and took up the business of draying and storing goods. There were no regular draymen in Pittsburgh at tllat period and goods were generally hauled from the flat boat in a three-horse wagon. Mr. Rattle was the first to undertake the regular transportation of goods, but as he had no warehouse he was greatly handicapped. One night a box of dry goods was stolen from his yard, the value of which he hadl to surrender. This bankrupted him and he died of a broken heart. The river traffic of Pittsburgh, however, long antedates this time. The first record of transportation is that furnished by John McKinney, a prisoner at Fort Duquesne, in February, 1756, who says that while he was at Fort Duquesne there came up the Ohio from the Mississippi about 30 batteaux and about 150 ~~~~_- A -,___ ".,. -_ men, loaded with pork, flour, brandy, peas and Indian corn; they were three months in reaching the fbrks of the Ohio. It lhas Ilnot been disputed dovwn to the present time that the first attempt to propel a boat by machinery on this hemisphere was made in a crude way here in Pittsburgh one hundred and thirty-four years ago. From the diary of the Quaker trader Kenny, which has been referred to elsewhere, the following is taken: b1-761, 4th mno., 4th.-A yonJg man called William Ramsey has made two little boats, being squair at ye sterns and joined togeather at ye sterns with a swivel, make ye two in fo(rm of one boate. but will turn round shorter than a boat of ye saime length, or raise with iiore safety in falls and in case of striking rocks; he has also male an engine that goes with vwheels enclosed in a box, to be worked by one man, by sitting on ye end of ye box and tredding on treddlers at bottom with his feet, sets ye wheels agoing, wlhich works scullers or short paddles fixed over ye gunnels turning tlhem round; ye under one always laying hold on ye water, will nmake ye boate goe as if twVo men rowed; and he can steer at ye same time by lines like plowv lines."RI~SIDIENCT~S IN TFIIT EAST ElN-D.The first actual work in boat building began on the 23d of February, 1777, at a point on the Monongahela river above Pittsburgh. It was the first systematic attempt at this wvork on the western waters, and it was under government auspices. On that day fourteen carpenters and sawyers came from Philadelphia to build transport boats or batteaux for the use of troops. Until 1794 the river traffic was carriedi on in keel and flat boats. In July, 1794, a line of mail boats was established to run from Wheeling to Limestone and back once every two weeks. From Pittsburgh to AVheeling the mails were carried on horseback. In January of the same year boats began to run from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh for transportation of freight and passengers. In announcing the establishment of this line, its promoter says: No danger need be apprehendedl from the enemy, as every person on board will be under cover, made proof against rifle or musket ball, and convenient port holes fir firing out of. Each of the boats is armed with six pieces carrying a pound ball; also a number of good muskets, anll amply supplied with plenty of ammunition, strongly manned with choice hands, and the masters of approved knowledge." In 1799, Loluis A. Tarascon, a French merchant in l'hiladelphia, being wealthy and enterprising, sent two of his clerks Messrs. Brugiere and Berthoud to examine the course of the Ohio and Mississippi river from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, and ascertain the practicability of sending ships and clearing them from this port ready rigged to the West Indies and Europe. They reported favorably and shortly afterwards the firm of John A. Tarascon Brothers, James Berthoud Co., was established in Pittsburgh. They conducted a large wholesale and retail store and warehouse, a shipyard, a rigging and sail loft, anchor smith shop, block manufactory, and in fact everything necessary to complete vessels for sea. In the first vear, 1801, they built the schooner " Amity " of 120 tons, and the ship " Pittsburgh l' of 250 tons. The former was sent loaded with flour to St. Thomas, while the "' Pittsburgh," also loaded with flour, sailed down to the gulf and around to Philadelphia from whence she was sent to Bordleaulx and brounllt back a cargo of wine, brandy and other French goods, part of which reached Pittsburgh in wagons at a charge of six cents per pound. In 1802 they built the brig " Nanino' of 253 tons, in 1803 the ship "Louisiana, " and in 1804 the ship " Westerii Trader " of 400 tons. DAVIS ISILAND DAM. These later vessels were the first to carry Pittsburgh coal down the Ohio, btit it was taken simply as ballast. In 1817 flat boats came into use while steam togs for towing boats and barges were introduced in 1845. Thle history of transportation from the Atlantic seaboard to Pittsburgh and the west embraces four stages; first the pack horse on the Ind(lian trail; second the Conestoga wagon as roads began to penetrate the wilderness; third the canal; fourth the railroad. On May 1, 1805, the first stage started from Pittsburgh to Chambersburg. The first steamboat on western waters was built here, the "New Orleans." She Vas constructed uncler the superintendence of Mr. Rossvelt for Messrs. Fulton and Livingston of New York. Nevill B. Craig, that shrewd observer and early historian of Pittsburgh, thus describes her:' She was a boat of 138 feet keel, and calculated for about 400 tons burden. She was launched in March, 1811, and landed at Natchez in December of the same year, where she tcokz in loading and passengers for the first time and proceeded to New Orleans." On thec mutter of steam navigation of the inland rivers on this continent Pittsburgh holds undisputedly the first place. The " New Orleailns" was the first steamboat to ply on western waters. The Independence was the first to ascend the Missouri river. The' Western Engineer " the first to reach Council Bluffs, the " American " the first to ascend the MTonongahela, and the " Enterprise " the first to ascend the Red river and make a return trip from Nen Orlearls to Pittsburgh. The first boat built of iron to navigate the -western waters was built in Pittsburgh in 1839, and wNvas known as the " Valley Forge." Nine war -vessels have been built in Pittsburgh. The revenue cutter " Michigan " for the lake service was built here. Two monitors, the'Manayulnkl' and the "Umpqua" were built for government service here in 1863. Long prior to this, however, Pittsburgh boat builders h1ad been constructing v-essels for the government. About 1845 a revenue cutter called the "'Hunter," and a second class frigate called the "Allegheny," both intended for ocean service, wvere built and launched in this city. The Pennsylvania canal, which was lestined to be the great commercial hiighway of Pennsylvania between the East and WVest for a number of years, was commenced in 1826.

HIROUGHOUT the United States in the financial rating of the cities and towns Pittsburgh stalnds AA-1. Her bankers, and the managers of her financial institutions of all kinds, are men of wide experience, rare business ability, shrewd judgment and markedl conservatism. In the ninety years' history of banking in Pittsburgh there have been few instances of wild cat speculation or wholesale fraud. The firat bank in Pittsburgh was established on January 1, 1804. It was a branchl of the bank of Pennsylvania and was the first bank wvest of the Allegheny iiountains. Its first officers wrere: John AWilkins, president; Thomas L. Wilson, cashier; John Thaw, teller. Its board of directors were Ebenezer Denny, afterwards the first imayor of Pittsburgh, Abraham Kirkpatrick, George Stevenson, John Wilkinson and Akdamsonl Tannehill. The first local bank organized was chartered in 1813 and orgainized November 22, 1814. Its capital was $600,000, but of this only $250,000 had been paid in up to 1833. In the history of this institution it is claimed that in no instance has the bank ever coerced a loan in tiime of financial d(istiress. Since the close of the rebellion the dev-elopment of the bankiing interests of Pittsburgli has been so great that, to BANK OF PI'TSBURGH AND CLEARING HOUSEg enumerate the v-arious organizations and private banking i:)uses, to say nothing of brokers in various lines, would require pages of this history. There are to-day in Pittsburgh seventy-three banks whose combined capital, deposits and assets of every kind exceed $120,000,000. Pittsburgh firequently holds sixth place in the clearinog house system of the country. Pittsburgh holds one-fifth of' all the bank deposits in the State. The total business of the clearing house, since it was established in 1866, up to 1893, aggregated $10,479,254,241.62.SCENES IN HIGHLAND PARK.THE RECORD OF DISASTERS. How the City has Suffared from Fire, Flood and Riot.-Great Freshets in the Rivers.-The Fire of 1845.The Cloud Burst of 1874.-Destruction of the Exposition Buildings and the Railroad Riots of 1877. OWEVER, running parallel with Pittsburgh's splendid line of progress is another line of disaster, by floodl, tire and riot. Oftentimes the yellow waters of the Allegheny pouring from the highlands of southern New York and northern Pennsylvania have carried death and desolation on their breast. The first of these to attract any attention in local history was what was known as the " pumpkin flood 1" of 1810. In that year the rising waters. overflowed practically the entire city. The great flood of 1832 inundated the lower portion of the growing city, drove hlundreds of iinhabitants from their homes and reached a point as high as the present Diamond Market. The loss by this flood is estimated at $200,000. The great flood of 1884, is inemorable from tlhe fact thlat the water at its highlest point was four inclhes an(d a fractio highler than the historic flood of 1832; the higlh water mark touching thirty-four feet four and threceighth inches. On July 26, 1874, Pittsburgh and Allegheny City were -visited by a storm of phenomenal violence. A water spout bursted over the hills, poured down the narrow ravines in the northeastern portion of' Allegheny snown as Eutcher's run and the southwestern part of Pittsburgh along Saw Mill run, below the Monongahela, causin-g the loss of' 124 lives and involving damage estimated at over a million dollars. In 1845 Pittsburglh was visited by what is known in her history as the " great fire." On the 10)th of April of that year a conflagration broke out in a building on Ferry street, two squares from the Monongahela river front. The fire was caused by the carelessness of a GREAT CONFULAGRATION AT PITTSBURGH, PA., APRII, IoTH, 1845. RUINS FROM BOYDS HII,L. washerwoman. It spread rapidly eastward until it embraced a territory five squares in breadth and eight in length. In a few hours more than nine hundred buildings were consumed and three thousand people were left without shelter. But two lives were lost. The State appropriated $50,000 immediately for the sufferers, which with addition fromii other sources, reached a total of $150,000. This was expended for the relief of 1,011 persons. The total loss from the fire was estimated at between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. The city of Allegheny on July 4, 1874, was visited by a conflagration which consumed $300,000 worth of property, and left over 200 people homeless. Early on the morning of October 3, 1833, the Pittsburgh Exposition buildings in Allegheny City were totally destroyed by fire. All the exhibits were destroved. The total loss was estimated at $750,000. The one dark page in the history of Pittsburgh, duiring the present century, covers the last wNeek of June, 1877. The Pittsburgh riots, considering the loss of life, dlestruction of property, injury to business enterprises, and disturbance of the public peace, was the worst disaster known in the history of the city. These riots were precipitated and carried on by the lawless element of the city and from all parts of the country. The total loss to property was over $4,100,000. The county of Allegheny paid back to those who had lost property in the riot, including the Pennsyl-ania railroad's claim of $1,600,000; a total of $2,700,000. For three days a period of excitement unparalleled reigned in the city. Notwithstanding these great disasters the city has gone on increasing in wealth and population thus placing an especial emphasis on the indomitable will and pluck of its citizens.IEDUCATIONAI, INSTITUTIONS.Illustration of Coke Making in the Connellsville Region, Pennsylvania, at Works of H.

E have been told what Pittsburgli has been and is. How about the Greater Pittsburgh? That is a, question that is just now cormmlanding the serious attention of the thoughtful men of our commIunity as well as affording unliimited opportunity for the day dreamer to give his imagination full scope. A favorite tlieme of conversation among the men of affairs in Pittsburgh and Allegheny is " the Greater Pittsburgh.'' The local newspapers are so enamored of the idea that it were treason for the intelligent comnpositor to spell " greater" with a small "g." It must be a big " G "' or nothing. O1n every hand there is an apparent disposition to lay aside the conservatism which hath so easily beset us. and run with patience the great race nowv on in the United States for mulnicipal pre-emineince. An official of the city of Pittsburgh, asked some days ago for Iiis conception of the territorial limits. of the Greater Pittsburgh, replied: "Take a map of Allegheny county." Personal inquiry among men of all walks of life has disclosed the fact that there are many whose id(eas are in harmlony with this conception, That would mean a muaicipality ot 757 square miles, which would be Imore than halt the siz%of the entire State of Rhode Island. The are;. of New York city is 41 square miles. Thoughsheis the metropolis there are fifteen cities which exceed her in area. Chicago has 180 squaremlliles Prov idence. I. I.. 157.10; Philadelphia, 1293; Brooklynl, 26); St. Louis. 61o; Boston. 37; Baltimore,'31' San Francisco. 42k; Cincinnati, 241; Cleveland, 27}-; Buffalo, 42; New Orleans, 60, and Pittsburgh, 27 -3-. All the cities named excepting Providence have a larger population, according to the last census, than Pittsburgh. There are but three which are smaller in area-Brooklyn, Cincinnati alnd Cleveland. Of the 114 leading cities of' the United States there are twelve which now exceed Pittsburgh in population and twenty-six which exceed her in area. With a Greater Pittsburgh limited only by the present lines of Allegheny county we should have imore than four times the territory of the present city of Chicago and should have a population exceeded only by four cities in the country. The census of 1890 gave the population of New York as 1,515,301; Chicago, 1,099,850; Philadelphia, 1,046,964; Brooklyn, 806,343; St. Louis, 451,770; Boston, 448,477; Baltimore, 434,439; San Francisco, 23)8,997; Cincinnati, 296,908; Cleveland, 261,353; Buffalo, 255,64; New Orleans, 242,039; Pittsburgll, 238,617. There are, therefore, twelve mlunicipalities now with a larger population than Pittsburgh. If we take unto ourselves, for better or for worse, all of Allegheny county, we shall have, again accepting the figures of 1890, a population of 551,959. Fromii thirteenth place in the sisterhood of cities we should advance to fifth, only New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn exceeding the Greater Pittsburgh in population. WVhat that would nean to our local pride, to say nothing of the importance of our position in the eyes of the world, is apparent. Ordinary mortals are not gifted with a prophetic power upon -which it is safe to bank, and speculation as to our population in years to come is at best an uncertain undertaking. However, between the census of 1880 Headquarters Citizens'EJxecutive Board, 28th National Encam-pment, G. A. R., and that of 1890 the population of Allegheny county Times Building, Fourth Avenue. (the Greater Pittsburgh) increased 55.10 per cent. Allegheny was one of eight counties in Pennsylvania to show an increase of more than 50 per cent. The decade intervening between the eleventh and twelfth census is not one-half gone. It will probably be said, and witlh considerable truth, that the phenomenal showNving made by Allegheny county during the last decade was due to the natural gas development and its resultant stimulus to industrial operations. But who shall attempt to say at this early day that this decade shall not do as well as the last? If it does, and the Greater Pittsburgh shall hlave become a reality, we shall liave a city of 856,088 souls. It is doubtful whether Brooklyn, in that event, could maintain her present place in the procession, for she would not have the advantage of such possibilities for growth as the Greater Pittsburgh would naturally enjoy. This is one of the Greater Pittsburghs proposed. Of course there are others. A man Awho has given more thought and energy to the advancement of the present Pittsburgh than any other wvhoi I lknow of, and the dream of wvhose life is of a Greater Pittsburgh in every sense which the termu " greater "I implies, takes the position that a city embracing all of Allegheny county Aould *be inmpracticable. The' territory would be too large to handle under ordinary mlunicipal regulations and too sparsely settled. WAhen you come to consider thatSCEINES IN SCHENLEY PA-R.1,any portion of a city is entitled to street, wvater, fire, police, light and sanitary arrangements on a par with any other portion of the city. or at least adequate to its own necessities, itv will be apparent at a glance that a city of 737 square miles would not only be large, but unwieldy. The Greater Pittsburgh would be the biggest city in the world. London, with a population of 4,231,431, has about 689 sqnare miles of territory; Paris, the second city in the world, only about thirty square miles, and Berlin, the third city of Europe, only twenty-five square miles. In the inatter of territ-ory, therefore, the idea of embracing the entire county ef Allegheny would have plenty of room to fall without any danger of disappeaeing from the map in comparison with the other great cities of the world. There is one conception of a Greater Pittsburgh which appears to be entirely practicable. Let your new city line run down the Ohio as far as Sewickley, up the Alleglheny as fur as Htlton and Verona, and up the Monongahela as far as Bradldockz, taking in all intervening LIBERTY STREET AND FIFTH AVENUE. territory and towns and not running into the country back of Allegheny too far, nor too far out into the townships back of the South Side hills. That would give the new city a population, according to the census of 1890, of 481,675. In arriving at this figure the following districts as indicated in the census oft 1890, are em-ibraced; Aleppo township,.................. 510 Osburn borough.................221 Alle-heny,..... 105,287 Penn township,.932 Baldwin township,............. 4,860 Reserve township...2,941 Bellevue borough................. 1,418 Reynoldton borough.......1,379 Beltzhoover borough,..2,009 Scott township.......... 2,651 Braddock borough,.......... 8,561 Sharpsbnurg borough,...4,898 Braddock township,... 7,230 Spring Garden borough,........720 Chartiers borough............. 2,983 Sterrett township............1,182 Chartiers township,..7,808 Stowe township..............3,716 Coraopolis borough,.... 962 Union township,..............417 Edgewood borough,........ 616 Verona borough........1,477 Et'na borough,............ 3,767 West Bellevue borough,.........804 Glenfield borough,...... 718 West Liberty borough.......863 Green Tree borough,........ 685 Wilkins township...........2,504 Homestead borough,........ 7,911 Wilkinsburg borough, 4,662 Kilbuck township........ 2,143 Wilmerding borough, 419 Knoxville borough,.. 1,723 Parts of Moon, Robinson, Shaler, Patton, Versailles,.. 3,500 Lower St. Clair township....... 4,302 Pittsburgh..............238,617 McKeesport,.... 20,741 Mansfield borough,........... 2,352 Population of the Greater Pittsburgh in 1890, 481,675 Mifflin township..... 1,144 Allow natural increase of 331 per cent. for 10 years, makMillvale borough,......... 3,809 ing population in 1900.....642,233 Neville township......... 353 Or if we should increase as we did in the last decade, we O'Hara township........... 3,402 should have in 1900..............747077 Oakmont borough,................1,678 This is to say, with a Greater Pittsburgh embracing the foregoing civil districts as indicated in the census of 1890 if we shall have a natural increase of one-third in population and the other cities of the United States shall enjoy the same ratio of increase, we shall with the dawninz of the new century be the fifth city of the Nation, topping in population St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Bufialo and New Orleans, eight towns which now take higher rank in this respect than Pittsburgh.SIXTH AND LIB1NRPVT bTRFETj, MARKT~T STRI1FT.In point of area, wve should have about 160 square miles of teriritory. We slhould not be as big as London, nor even Chicago), but should be larger than Paris, Berlin, New York or Philadelphia. The Greater Pittsburglh wvould be triangular in shape, adLe so by following in a general way tlle lines of the three rivers, the banks of whicll are naturally more densely populated than the balance of tllhe territury emobraced in the districts mentione(l. The city would be twenty miles long from extreme points, Sewickley an(l McIKeesport, and it would l)e sixteen miles from the extremes of breadth, Verona and the corner of Baldwin township. It would narrow to a point at Sewickley and to another p:int at Verona. For the most part it would, even with the present transportation facilities, be easy of access anywhere. There are, however, considerations aside fromn population and area which make the Greater Pittsburlh desirable. Give us a greater population and a larger area that our pride may be gratified and our vTanity have something to feed on when ve meet a man from St. Louis, or Boston, or Baltimore. But let us have something else to make Pittsburgh greater. Our most pressing need now is a quickened and awakened public spirit. We have to-day no lack of private enterprise, but the community spirit is wanting to a sad degree. It is true that Pittsburgh is synonymous with solidity, prosperity and substantiality, but that has reference more to individual accomplishment tha;n to public effort. We should have a more frequent display of that public spirit which has been directed for many months past toward miiikincg the Twenty-eighth National Encampment of the Grandl Army of the Republic a success. It is perhaps too much to expect any ilmisinless inan to consider, first of all, whethler what he undertakes will add anything to the general welfare of the community, yet if that were possible it is not difficult to imagine what it would mean to the city as a whole. We have lheard much talk of late of the Greater Pittsburgh, which may be taken as a surface indication of an increased public spirit. If that talk shall in a year or two assume the proportions of actual public effort the Greater Pittsburgh Nwill not long be a dream, but a reality. It is not possible to make a Greater Pittsburgh merely by the annexation of a(ljacent territory. We need two or three modern hotels on the order of the Waldorf, Savoy or New Netlherlands, of New York; the Lexinlgton or Great Nortlhernii, of Chicago, or the Shoreham and SIXTH STREET. the Arlington, of Washington. In America the traveling public is a very important factor of the community. It is discriminating and exacting. It is not satisfied with what it can get at home, nor with what it was possible to get ten or twenty years ago, but it wants all that money will buy to-day anywhere. While a town is primarily responsible for its own reputation, and as a matter of fact makes its reputation itself, the traveling public gives it wvhatever reputation it enjoys abroad. This mray sound paradoxical, but it is true. Enterprise, individual and collective, has been singularly remiss in Pittsburgh in this one item cf hotels. Another feature of the Greater Pittsburgh must be a convention hall or auditorium, large enotulgh to easiEy accommodate all comers. Conventions bring crowds to a city, and crowds bring money, and money brings added prosperity anid induces new enterprise. Conventions do not attract people merely for a day, but they often are the means of disclosing to capital froim other sections of the country than the convention city new avenues of investment either in real estate, manufacturing or commercial pursuits. The basis upon which to secure a big convention crowd is, of course, the proper accommodation of the convention itself, and f\r this purpose an assembly hall affording the necessary conveniences for any gathering, no matter how large, is indispensable. Somewhlat akin to this we shall need also a larger nusic hall than aniy we have now, either complete or in course of erection. Even now we have every year entertainments aside from theatrical performances which are sadly marred for lack of a building large enou,gh and possessing the necessary conveniences and acoustic properties. If we hope to realize the Greater Pittsburgh in the fullest and broadest sense we shall have to foster, endowv and encourage the ATestern Uniiversity until it shall rank with Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the like. The people of the Greater Pittsbur(rh must see to it that their institutions shall not have a reputation sD niearly local as now, but rather as wide as this broad land. There are those who hope that the Greater Pittsbunrgh will be even better entitled to be called tile Iron City than it is now. Their fancy pictures the ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio completed. They see the iron ore of the lake regions set dowln at our furnace doors for fifteen cents a ton freivrht instead of $1.15 as noNw, with all the new enterprises andl thle increased pro(luction which such anHUMANE INSTITUTIO~NS.advantage over less fortunate communities would mean. With the canal completed they see the hampered iron mills of the East and the West coming to the Greater Pittsburgh and crowding the banks of the Ohio, the Monongahela and the Allegheny with their plants and peopling the new city with their workmen. To build this canal would cost $28,000,000 to $30,000,000. That is an enormous sum, but communities not as large as the Greater Pittsburgh will be, have not been dismayed by larger undertakings than this. The Greater Pittsburgh, at the very outstart without a single new furnace, would have a larger output of pig iron within the city limits than any other State in the Union save one. Our tonnage upon river ant( rail would be larger than that of any city in the United States. We should have within the city oil and gas and salt wells. We should mine within the city every year millions of tons of coal. Where else in this world is there a city that has, or can have, all these within her very borders? There is only one Pittsburgh and there can be only one Greater Pittsburgh. Think for a moment, too, of the possibilities which such a Greater Pittsburgh as has been blocked out would afford for beautifying the city? It needs no imagination, for one acquainted with our natural surroundings, to picture the parks, zoological and botanical gardens, the conservatories and observatories, the pleasure resorts and breathing places that could be accommodated within the city's gates, limited only by public means and private generosity. Fancy a magnificent boulevard running the entire twenty miles length of the new city, of imposing width, lined by beautiful grounds and handsome residences, twice crossing the rivers in its course upon great modern free bridges, and you have an idea of one of the pleasing and important features of the new Pittsburgh. Combined capital is often accused of being selfish, but combined capital is sometimes public spirit transformed into business shape. There are several respects in which the spirit of the Greater Pittsburgh has been mlanifest in the present Pittsburgh for six or seven years past. We have a progressive city government. It is going ahead as rapidly as the voters will permit. More it cannot do. Combined capital has made possible our present systems of rapid transit to the East End. That individual enterprise will keep pace with what combined capital does is evidenced by the transformation we have witnessed in that section the past few years. For beauty, comfort and luxury our East End homes and surroundings may with safety challenge the Nation. Singularly enough, our churches have displayed the spirit of the Greater Pittsburgh to a more marked degree than any other portion of' the community. This is testified to by the many new houses of worship, the advancement in architecture and interior comforts and conveniences, to say nothing of the vigor and energy which congregations are showing. There is something of this same spirit shown in our public school affairs. Witness the character, size and beauty of the buildings erected by the district boards in recent years. In still another respect has Pittsburgh given evidence of becoming greater. Its men and women of wealth are displaying a disposition to do something for the community in which they won their fortunes. Persons who do for a community what has been done and is being done by Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Mary Schenley, Henry Phipps, Mrs. William Thaw, Miss Jane Holmes and John H. Shoenberger contribute the foundation of the sweeter a-nd brighter side of the Greater Pittsburgh. The Greater Pittsburgh is an inexhaustible theme. It is a pleasant one, too. One in love with the city as an abiding place might write about it until the end of time, if there were no limit to the visible supply of white paper. Let us dismiss the subject now with the statement that we have the money and we have the men to build along the three rivers at our feet a Greater Pittsburgh of princely proportions, imperial resources, the majesty of whose achievements shall challenge the admiration, if it does not excite the envy, of the whole sisterhood of the cities of the Nation.

By Col. RICHARD REALF. My father was mighty Vulcan, I am smith of the land and sea; The cunning spirit of Tubal Cain Came with my marrow to me. I think great thoughts strong-winged with steel, I coin vast iron acts; And weld the impalpable dreams of Seers Into utile lyric facts. I am monarch of all the forges, I have solved the riddle of fire; The Amen of Nature to need of Man Echoes at my desire. I search with the subtle soul of flame The heart of the rocky earth, And hot from my anvils the propheci Of the miracle years blaze forth. I am swart with the soot of my chimneys, I drip with the sweat of toil; I quell and scepter the savage wastes, And charm the curse from the soil. I fling the bridges across the gulfs That hold us from the To Be, And build the roads for the bannered march Of crowned humanity.INCLINE PLANES.

WVhen the war broke out in i86I he enlisted in the Friend Rifle Guards, April 25, i86i, which company joined Sickles' Excelsior Brigade the regiment being the Seventieth New York Volunteers. He was promoted to Captain of this famous company, but having his right arm shattered at the battle of Williamnsburg, Virginia, and being thus disabled for company duty, he learned to write with his left hand and was appointed a commissary of subsistence of United States Volunteers by President Lincoln on recommendation of General Daniel E. Sickles. While serving as commissary of the Second Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps, he volunteered his services as Aide-de-Camp on the staff of Colonel M\lurphy, Brigade Commander, at the battle of Reams Station, Virginia, August 25, 1864, where he lost his right leg and was brevetted major for gallant conduct in that action. Being then disabled for field service, he was assigned as disbursing officer for the subsistence department at W\ashington, and retained in the volunteer army until January I, 1867, when he was mustered out after a continuous service of-five years and eighth mnonths. He was one of the founders of General McPherson Post No. I 1 7, Department of Pennsylvania, G. A. R., in 1867, and was its first commander.

We want to sell you DRY GOODS-expect to, sometime-during this visit, if you wish, later if you prefer-ebut, sometime. Our strongest wish is to prove this store's claim to your consideration--it's not the very largest store in America, but it IS a large one, and sells a lot of Dry Goods-millions of dollars worth every year, and its claim lies in the fact that it will not only sell you the BEST Dry Goods, but sell them for LESS MONEY, on a smaller profit, than any store in any city, large or small, NOT excepting New York city,or Chicago. Our perfectly organized mail order system gives to every one in every city, town and village throughout the nation equal opportunity to buy their Dry Goods and kindred merchandise on the same basis as to price, and kind -and assortments, as the residents of this city, who have, it is universally conceded, by reason of this store's uniformly less price methods, superior advantages. We sell everything that a large modern Dry Goods store is expected to sell except Shoes and Carpets, but would direct your special attention, if the time you will have to devote to the purpose be short, to the DRESS GOODS, SILK and CLOAK DEPARTMENTS, which are, we have reason to believe, unequaled. Ask to see the goods and learn the prices. OUR FUR DEPARTMENT sells more Ladies' Fur Garments, according to manufacturer's reports, than any other single store on this side of the Atlantic-a large business directly traceable to the small profit, LESS prices-always considering of course, large and superior assortments. Those who intend to purchase Souvenirs of the visit--not useless gew-gaws, but substantial, useful, articles that will be appreciated, are advised to investigate our Fancy Goods Departments-Jewelry, Silverware, Leather Goods, China, Fine Pottery, Gloves, Handkerchiefs, Toilet Accessories, and a thousand and one other suitable:nick-nacks for men, women and children-all at less than usual store's prices. Any who wish to do so may arrange to have their mail directed in care of this store during their stay in the,city. Our package department will take care of any parcels you send there. Ladies will find a reception room on the second floor, where they may arrange to meet their friends, write -letters, and make themselves generally comfortable. All are requested to leave their name and address so that we can mail you our I50 page catalogue and pricelist, which is issued twice a year, Spring and Fall, and mailed free. Those who do not come to the Encampment may have the catalogue mailed to them by sending name and:address. A photographic view of Allegheny and Pittsburg, taken from the top of Mount Washington, a perfect photograph finished in Leipzig, Germany, size 6xI8 inches, suitable to frame, will be presented to any one who calls ~for it, free.

T was not until January 3, 887, that the National Association of Naval Veterans ot the United States was formally organized. For a time its growth was slow, but in the last four years its increase has been marked, and to-day it numbers thirty-three local associations, located on the sea coast, great lakes and western rivers, all of whom are in active working order. To become a member the applicant must have served as an officer, seaman, landsman, fireman or marine in the United States Navy or Revenue Cutter service from April 9, I86I, to August 25, 1865, and have resigned or been honorably discharged. The National Association has a uniform and rank insignia not unlike that worn by the officers of the "Old Navy." It has its distinctive badge and lapel button and flies the Union Jack as its service colors. At the gth Annual Convention to be held at Pittsburgh, Pa., in September, I894, it wIll be represented by over 200 delegates. The objects of the Association are mutual benefit, the securing of better recognition by Federal, State and municipal authorities, a higher elevation of old messmates, the cementing of the bonds of friendship that were formed more than a quarter of a century ago, and independent but concertive action of naval veterans throughout the country. There are now on the roll of the association the names and addresses of over 9,ooo naval veterans. OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NAVAL VETERANS. B. S. Osbon,...

The main object of the Association is to perpetuate the name and fame of those of Our Country's defenders who, in the darkest hour of the struggle for its life, far out beyond the picket lines and videttes of the Union Army, battled with filth, exposure, starvation, disease, despair and death, enduring hardships and environment which beggar description. The history of the men who thus suffered in the prison pens of the South adds credit and lustre to the achievements of the Union Army. No overtures of food, shelter, or rai-.~p _ *1: _1 _ *, 1 r _1. 1 ment, could win them from their allegiance, and the offer of life itself on conditions of disloyalty was spurned, as only patriots and martyrs could, until over seventy thousand of their number had yielded up their lives and the Confederacy was crushed. Among other objects the Association seeks to bind together in the most friendly ties the survivors of rebel prisons by joint action of its members in any direction which will secure justice to the living and honor to the dead, and to assist such of our fellow prisoners as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen; to correct false statements concerning rebel prisons in order that historical justice may be done.

The Philadelphia Company was organized May 24th, i884, under a special act of incorporation. Its growth since has perhaps been unequalled by any similar organization. It has over 8oo miles of pipe lines, 36 in. diameter and smaller. Having a series of independent main lines, consisting of 36, 30, 24, i6 and I2 inch pipe, from the various gas fields to the city, the use of any one of which may be discontinued without interfering with the others, and radiating to all points of the compass for a distance of 45 miles, tapping all gas fields discovered, enables it to reach any new field in the shortest possible ( time, thus insuring a service which cannot be equalled by any other Company. IN FUTURE THE SUPPLY OF GAS FOR RESIDENCES WILL BE MADE A SPECIALTY, and the new fields lately discovered warrant the assertion that our patrons can rely on an ample supply during the coming winter. A most desirable location, consisting of 18i acres, has been purchased with a view to the erection of a modern fuel gas plant to meet the requirements of the Company whenever it shall be i deemed necessary to proceed.WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS---AUXILIARY TO THE G.

URING the War of the Rebellion, when the hospitals were filled with the wounded and dying, the loyal women of the North went forth by hundreds to render needed assistance; they organized Christian and Sanitary Commissions and other relief societies, and all the world knows how well the work was done. With the close of the war, woman's work did not end; there were orphans and widows left desolate and alone, there were weary, feeble men who had sacrificed health and strength, and would never again be able to take up life's duties, and these must be cared for. As early as I870, at the Fourth National Encampment, reference was made to the work of woman, and a recommendation was made that some grade should be established to show her service, and again at the fifth and seventh encampments, but nothing definite was accomplished. In 1879 the Woman's Relief Corps of Massachusetts, Auxiliary to the G. A.

It makes little difference whether the cannon actually loaded was on the steamboat Silver Wave, on the wharf, or on Wood street. It was in the Allegheny Arsenal before the late war, and was included in the order of Secretary Floyd for shipment south. After considerable correspondence with Hon. W. A. Stone, the following letter was received "HOUSE OF1 REPRESENTATIVES, U. S.," "WASHINGTON, D. C., JaInaZiry 22, I-S.4." "PERCY F. SMITH, Esq., Pizlsburgl,, Pa.. " " DEAIR SII: I 1herewith send you order for cannon, which, as I understand it, has been by Gen. Flagler, directed to be delivered on my order. I made this application promptly, but it has been delayed, as you see." "Very truly yours," "WILLIAM A. STONE." THE HISTORIC GUN. The order authorized Col. F. H. Parker, Commandant of the Arsenal, to transfer one of the bronze cannon at said Arsenal, and upon its receipt the Committee on Badges selected the cannon, a bronze I2-pounder, composed of go per cent. copper and Io per cent. tin, weighing I, 756 pounds. It was a muzzle loading piece, and on the left trunnion was the stamp of the founder, N. F. Ames, of Springfield, Mass., and on the other trunnion the date 1842. It had many hard dents about it, as if struck by musket balls. The battered old gun which was brought from the Arsenal to the postoffice, really formed the centerpiece of the first public demonstration in connection with the National Encampment of the G. A. R. in Pittsburgh. Nothing more appropriate could have been selected for such an event. Back through the years the cannon carries the memory to stirring times, when the citizens of Pittsburgh, in face of gathering war and wild confusion, showed their loyaltyIRON CITY TOOL WORKS, Limited Standard Track Tools Sledges and Hammers Picks and Mattocks Grub Hoes and Wedges Solid Box Vises Mining Tools:'" Eureka Nut Lock Cannot be put on wrong Strongest Spring Lock made Cannot turn on Bolt Never injures thread of nut or bolt Best Lock made for use on Engine, Cars, Bridges, Track Joints and Machinery NEW YORK BOSTON CHICACO iflowe Brown Co., Limited - MNPITT URSBURG, PT I..

As the story of the gun must be interesting, both on account of its past and its future, the files of old newspapers have been looked over and extracts made of the more blood-stirring episodes in connection with the attempted shipment south of this and other guns on the steamboat Silver Wave. "On Monday, December 24, i86o, our city was thrown into a state of unwonted excitement by a report to the effect that an order for the removal of the government arms at the United States Arsenal in Lawrenceville had been received, and that they should be shipped forthwith, on the Silver Wave, to their destination. The arms and material at the arsenal are all to be removed, though why, above all other places, the President should send them to New Orleans, cannot be accounted for, unless he desires to strengthen the hands of the dis-unionists in that city. The Silver Wave, it is also reported, gets $Io,ooo for taking the guns down. The matter has created intense excitement here, and the people are loud in their denunciation of President Buchanan and his policy. He is pronounced a traitor, and but one opinion prevails, namely, that he should at once be impeached. Had not our citizens better telegraph to Washington and ascertain the motive for this order. " For hours nothing was heard but denunciations of the traitorous policy of the President, and recommendations to resist the shipment of the guns at all hazards and at any price. The weight of the guns to be removed is 700 tons.'"It is stated that the cannon are to go to Ship Island and to Galveston, Texas." The report continues: "Yesterday afternoon a number of our most influential citizens met in the Controller's office and organized by calling Gen. Robinson to the chair. Ex-Governor Johnston, Judge Shaler, C. R. Simpson and R. H. Patterson were chosen vice presidents, and Messrs. Von Bonnhorst, Foster and Leonard, secretaries. After some remarks relSTEAMBOAT SITLVER WAVE. ative to the impropriety of stripping our arsenal of its ordinance at such a crisis, resolutions were adopted. Among the resolutions printed in full is the following: "That said committee call on Major Tallaferro, of the arsenal, and the contractors for the removing and transporting the cannon, and request them to suspend operations until an opportunity has been afforded us to communicate with the authorities at Washington City. "The committee appointed under the foregoing resolution consists of the following gentlemen: Mayor Wilson, Hon. W. Wilkins, G. W. Jackson, R. H. Patterson, Dr. A. G. McCandless and W. H. Hersh." The committee waited on Major Simonton, in command of the arsenal, but he said that unless the order was countermanded, he must carry it into effect. On learning this the committee petitioned Mayor Wilson to call a meeting next day of citizens to protest, either by memorializing the President or otherwise. The meeting was called for next day, Thursday, December 27, in the court house, but at 2 p. m. it was found that the building would not accommodate the crowd, and an adjournment to City Hall was proposed, but could not be made, as the hall was engaged. The meeting passed resolutions setting forth that "as loyal and Union-loving Pennsylvanians they were determined to resist the action of the officers of the general government, however infamous it be."CAPITAL AND SURPLUS,... rirSt Ndtio0ld 0dnk CORNER FIFTH AVENUE AND WOOD STREET, PITTSBURG This Bank offers its services for the transaction of a general Banking, Exchange and Collection Business. ~I" ~, loliei Accounts of Individuals,`irms, Corporations, Banks and Bankers received upon favorable terms.

WELLS WM, G, TA YLOER S~.Ll,oOn Saturday, December 29, the papers published the fact that the first five of the guns had been removed from the arsenal to the wharf. On January 3, under big headlines, the countermanding of the order was announced in the papers, as follows: " We received the following special dispatch from Hon. J. K. Morhead: The guns don't go. Men that are in favor of the stars and stripes must run them up now." Then follow several other messages all containing the fact that Floyd's order had been countermanded. These orders for the shipment of the guns to the south emanated from the then Secretary of 7Var, Floyd. So great was the excitement in town that the commander of the Silver Wave was told that if he left the wharf with these guns on board he would be sunk witlh his boat before getting out of the harbor. This boat afterwards became more historic as the first steamer to run the blockade at Vicksburg, under command of Capt. John S. McMillan. THE HISTORIC GUN. The action of Pittsburgh citizens in regard to these cannon was the first decided step anywhere in the country against the rebellion. It was the first popular outbreak of opinion of the Unionists. The Committee on Badges of the Citizens Executive Board, in connection with the G. A. R. Encampment, received a letter recently written by Joseph Gartside, of Philadelphia. He says he was a driver for a wholesale house in Pittsburgh at that time, and is a nephew of Joseph Marshall, who owned the Iron City Foundry, on Diamond alley. The day the guns were being removed Mr. Gartside was down on the wharf with a load, when he saw the soldiers figuring how to get the cannon down to the steamer Silver Wave, at the Wood street wharf. The wharf was so slippery they were afraid to drive down with the heavy ordinance. They were rigging ropes to a telegraph pole and intended to slide them down. Pittsburgh was all excitement over the prospects of trouble, and it only needed a match to fire the people. Gartside thought that something should be done quickly, and so hurried off to tellThe Second National Bank OF PITTSBURIG, PENN'A Capital, $300,000 Surplus, $400,000 GEORGE J. GORMAN, President S. C.

The latter, who was an enthusiastic Abolitionist, became furious, and at once ordered his men to the rescue. They spread the alarm and soon the whole city had turned out. Stores and workshops were deserted, and the cannon carried back to the arsenal. In addition to the efforts of citizens to stop the placing of the cannon on the Silver Wave, it was arranged that if the boat got away with the guns, men on board would sink her before she passed Rochester, Pa. At the time they were loading the steamboats, R. Biddle Roberts, one of Pittsburgh's leading attorneys, was drilling a company called the Zouave Cadets. The Silver Wave was loaded down to the guards, and the other boats were being loaded as fast as possible. Col. R. B. Roberts selected twenty of his boys, obligated them to secrecy, and sent them to secure situations on the different steamers and then report to him. Mr. B. F. Kurtz, of Pittsburgh, and his brother, shipped as cabin boys on the Silver Wave, and on reporting to Mr. Roberts, he administered to them an oath that if the boat left Pittsburgh they would sink, scuttle or burn it before it reached Rochester, or die in the attempt. Col. Roberts telegraphed our representative in Congress to know by what authority the Allegheny arsenal was being stripped, and President Buchanan answered he knew nothing about it, and countermanded the order of Secretary Floyd. And so it is that the old veterans look forward with so much pleasure to securing a badge made from the old gun. PITTSBURGH SUBSISTENCE COMMITTEE. T the beginning of the Civil W;ar the importance of some association by which at least a cup of warm coffee or assistance of any kind could be given to the many soldiers who were passing through our city was deeply felt. Regiments and companies leaving their places of rendezvous took with thein rations for a certain number of days. By unavoidable delays of railroad trains and steamboats they were often detained longer on their way than they anticipated and were compelled to live for several days upon half rations; and in many instances compelled to go without food for twenty-four hours, and this, too, while passing through a country laden down with the good things and teeming with plenty. On Saturday evening, July 24, I86i, about midnight, the Twenty-fourth Ohio regiment arrived in our city and were quartered in City Hall. On Sundayn morning they were marched to the depot, where a committee of citizens served them with ham, bread and warm coffee while standing in the street.

These were followed by many other regiments and companies who were taken care of in the old warehouse until October, I86 I,when councils granted the use of City Hall, then one of the finest and largest buildings in the county, for this purpose and the headquarters were transferred to it. Ten long tables, giving room for twelve hundred men at one time, were placed on the main floor. Under the personal supervision of Dr. Andrew Fleming who took charge of the Medical Department, a room adjoining was furnished with beds and medicines, where the sick and W. P.

In this building the work was continued with renewed energy and diligence, the citizens looking on with admiration, wondering how work of such magnitude could be carried on without appeals to the public for funds. At one ti-ne when the treasury was exhausted, a call was made on the banks and business men who responded in the most liberal manner and all the debts assumed by the members were paid, leaving a balance in the treasury. From that time the public voluntarily contributed enough to pay current expenses. City Hall being a con-;iderable distance from the lepot, many soldiers who.rrived by one train and leparted by the next could lot avail themselves of the privileges there extended.

Even with this but fifty soldiers could be accommodated at one time, while frequently from one to tlree hundred would require care and attention. This inade the duties of the committee very irksome and sorely taxed those who had to wait outside for their turn. A number of business men seeing this condition of affairs, in January, I864, secured from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company permission to use a lot on Washington street between Liberty and Penn streets (where Adams Express Company's Freight Station now stands), and in April commenced the erection thereonl of a building fronting eighty feet on Liberty street, and extending on east side ninety feet, on west side one hundred and forty feet. It was constructed of boards with strips covering the joints and so arranged that when no longer needed as a home, the lumber could be disposed of to advantage.

During these days the railroad schedule was so arranged that the larger number of trains should arrive in the evening, which made the work of the committee all the inore laborious, and that no loss of food might be sustained by reason of delay of trains an arrangement was made with the railroad companies by which a meal for I,ooo to I,5oo men could be prepared on three hours' notice, and so, perfect were their plans that upon one occasion, thirty members fed 5,000 soldiers in twelve hours.

Not only were the bodily wants of the soldier provided for, but every effort was made to surround the brave men with religious influences. Preaching and prayer meetings were held regularly at the Soldiers' Home, while over 246,000 pages of religious literature was distributed. In Old City Hall will be found two memorial tablets bearing this record, "Pittsburgh Subsistence Committee, organized August, r86i, dissolved January, I866, sustained by voluntary subscriptions of the citizens." On the other these figures, "409,745 soldiers entertained in this hall, 79,460 sick and wounded provided for at the Soldiers' Home, total 489,205," and this is the record they hand down to posterity. PITTSBURGH SANITARY FAIR. From Personal Reminiscences of Captain CHARLES WV. BATCIIELOR, N 1864, when the Civil War was in full blast, and the thoughts of loyal people at homne were directed to the field of battle and to the hlospitals, where our brave soldiers were lingering with wvounds and fevers, the Sanitary Committee of Pittsburgh was doing all it could to meet the demands made upon them for little comforts not furnished by the Government. The committee hlad made call after call upon the citizens for cash and supplies of hospital stores, until they had about exhausted their influence, and had not the face to ask for more. One day Miss Rachel McFadden, the secretary of the committee, and a noble, good girl, came to me with tears in her eyes, and read me some letters she had received from the hospitals, begging her to send tliem some supplies. We had no supplies, nor money to buy them with, and we hardly knew what to do. I told her that I would go and see what could be done. I started down street, hardly knowing where to go, or what I could do. I went first to a man upon who.n charity never called in vain, that good, loyal, noble, christian gentleman, James Park, Jr. I told him how we were situated, and of the letters Miss McFacdden had. New York, Cleveland and Chicago had held fairs for the benefit of the soldiers. Mr. Park asked me what we could do; I said, "I don't know, unless we have a fair, and I thought, our people would respond nobly if they had a chance." He said, "All right, if you think so I am with you." I then went to Joshua Hanna, and told him what had passed between Mr. Park and myself. He agreed with us, and said if Park and I would take hold he would join us. From him I went to James I. Bennett, who instantly agreed to join us. Mr. Hanna and I 1,. a N Ar M 1 r T- 11I I-. tnen went to iVllss Mlcftadden and requested her to call the FELIX R. BIRUNO'r, committee together. The committee met, with Thos. Bakewell Presidezd ol Me i/n'y Commission. as president. Messrs. Park, Hanna, Bennett and myself made our statements and urged the committee to hold a fair. Mr. Bakewell opposed it, and thought the fair would be a failure, and would reflect on the city. The committee concluded to have a fair. Mr. Bakewell finally resigned, and Mr. Felix R. Brunot was made president. At this-meeting a committee of six, three gentlemen and three ladies was appointed to go to Cleveland, where their fair was julst winding up, and take items.

I was there, but none of the others put in an appearance. I went, and took my brother James with me, and remained in Cleveland two days. After I came home a public meeting was called of the people to consider the fair business. About fifty citizens, most of them ladies, met in Lafayette Hall, with Thos. M. Howe as chairman. i made a statement of what I had seen in Cleveland, which seemed to arouse the audience in favor of the fair. The next day thne committee appointed a sub-committee of three, consisting of T...............-I, Jaimes Park, Jr., John W. Chalfant and myself, to go to Cleveland aild buy the buildings of the Sanitary Fair there. We went, and bought the buildings, dining room ware and gas fixtures, amounting to $9,941.65, for which we gave our joint individual note, as below: $9,941.65 CLEVELAND, Marc, zi6, z864.

When Secretary of Sanitary Conmission. Messrs. Park, Chalfant and myself reported to the committee what we had done, Mr. Bakewell remarked that he thought we were crazy to give our individual obligations for so much money. We had confidence in the loyalty of the people, and on that we built our faith, and were not disappointed. I was made chairman of the Building Committee, and put in three months' hard work during the time of the fair. Below is the full committee as it was when the fair opened: PITTSBURGH SANITARY FAIR. FOR THE RELIEF OF SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS. " This extraordinary war in which we are engaged falls heavily on all classes of people, but the most lheavily upon the soldier. For it has been said,'All that a man hath will he give for his life,' and while all contribute of their substance, the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then, is due to the soldier." Honorary Members. His Excellency A. Lincoln. Hon. E. M. Stanton. Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant. His Excellency Gov. Curtin. Hon. S. P. Chase. Maj. Gen. J.

Before the fair was opened a resolution was passed by the committee, agreeing to set apart five per cent. of the proceeds for the maintenance of a Home for Indigent Soldiers and Sailors, and ten per cent. for the Subsistence Committee, then feeding soldiers as they were passing through the city. The latter received $32,000.00, and $8o,ooo.oo was set apart for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home. When the war was over we had, including the $8o,ooo.oo, about $212,000.00.

By Comrade ROBErTIr B. BEATTI, Past Conmmander-/in-Chief G. 4. -R. HE formation of a national association of veterans who had served in the armed forces of the Union in the war for the suppression of the rebellion is due to the services of Doctor Benjamin F. Stephenson, of Springfield, Illinois. Upon his muster out as Surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, Dr. Stephenson settled in Springfield for the practice of his profession, and there, after months spent in consultation with his army friends, he outlined the plans for this organization, and on April 6, i866, mustered in at Decatur, Illinois, the first Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. While there were certain:modifications or changes of details in the general plans then presented, the organization of to-day is substantially as decided upon by Dr. Stephenson and his immediate associates. These covered single Posts, with a district organization by counties (afterwards abolished), a Department for each State and a National Encampment. Pending the formation of a Department for the State of Illinois, which was effected July 12, i866, and of the National Encampment, formed at Indianapolis November 20, I866, Dr. Stephenson was the official head of the order. His staff officers were announced in the regular form of general orders dated April I, I866, and consisted of Major Robert M. Woods, Adjutant General; General Jules C. Webber, A. D. C. and Chief of Staff; Colonel John M. Snyder, Quartermaster General; Captain John A. Lightfoot, Assistant Adjutant General, and Lieutenant John S. Phelps, A. D. C. The work of extension of the order was at once taken up. The staff officers were sent into different sections of Illinois and to adjacent States. During the months of April and May a number of Posts were organized in Illinois and in June Posts were formed in Wisconsin and Indiana, followed in July and August by the organization of Posts in Iowa and Missouri. Later in the year Posts were formed in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Kansas and the District of Columbia. A national convention was held in Indianapolis November 20, I866. Dr. Stephenson was elected Adjutant General and in his first report he gave the following brief account of the organization of the Grand Army: "Early in the spring of I866 a few patriots deeply feeling the importance of organizing a grand association of the gallant Union soldiers and sailors of the late terrible rebellion, for the purpose of fostering fraternal relations and keeping alive the zeal of patriotism and devotion to our country, and above all for the purpose of mutual support and assistance in clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and furnishing employment to destitute, sick and wounded comrades, and caring for the widows and orphans of our gallant dead, formed their plans and publicly calling on all interested, on the I2th day of July, i866, mnet in convention in the representatives hall in the State capitol at Springfield, Illinois, and then and there formed the nucleus of the grand organization here represented in convention and which from that humble origin now extends an influence of great power throughout nearly every State and Territory of our country." Prior to the meeting of the Grand Army at Indianapolis on November 20, the brganization received considerable strength as the result of a meeting of veterans in the Republican soldiers and sailors' convention which was held in Pittsburgh Septemrber 25, I866.Fund. That money, or most of it, is invested, and the income used for the benefit of the Twelfth Ward Hospital, so called, which is a branch of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital, Dixmont. When the government established the National Soldiers' Homes, our local home could, to a certain extent, be dispensed with. The Sanitary Committee then obtained an Act of the Legislature, giving it authority to make use of the Soldiers' Home money for any public use they might wish to put it to. An arrangement was then made with the Western Pennsylvania Hospital to take charge of the Twelfth Ward Soldiers' Home, which has to be kept open as a general hospital, but not to be closed against indigent soldiers or sailors of the war. The Western Pennsylvania Hospital has charge of the hospital or home, and receives the benefit of the fund referred to above. I here record one of the many incidents of the fair, my wife being a prominent person in the matter referred to: HEADQUARTERS PITTSBURGH U. S. SANITARY COMMISSION FAIR, PITTSBURGH, July 8, z864.

HE Army Committee of Western Pennsylvania (Christian Commission) was organized April 6, 1863. OBJECTS. (I.) For gathering such funds and supplies as may be necessary. (2.) For supplying nurses for the sick or wounded wllhen and as far as practicable. (3.) For bringing home such sick and wounded soldiers as may be proper. (4.) For purchasing clothing, provisions, and minatters of comfort which rations and camp allowances may not provide, and which would contribute to the soldiers' happi1...-, 1 1 1. ness. (5.) For placing in camp such Bibles, books ai-nd papers as would instruct and amuse their days of rest and quiet and keep them informed of passing events. (6.) For gathering the dates and making a record of the name and history of each soldier and his services. (7.) For holding constant communication with paymasters or othlier officers of our regiments, that friends may interchange letters and packages. Prior to April 6, 1863, the only association which had been regularly and systematically forwarding hospital stores to the armiy was the Pittsburgh Subsistence Committee, appointed by the citizens of Pittsburgh at a meeting held in August, i86i. Its proper duty was the providing of refreshments for all regiments or companies passing through the city from the seat of war. After the reception from several hospitals of pressing appeals for stores, the comiSttee opened depots for receiving articles for the sick- and wounded soldiers, and sent or appointed agents at various points to attend to the proper tCistribution of the goods donated. Dependinge enitirely on the free will offerings of the people, the contributions poured se rapidnly and continuously..........._.:.:. that goods amounting in value isty thousand dollars were forwarded and distributed by the S bsistence Committee between J anuary, 1862, and ADril, j86;.

The first public meeting was held on the evening of April i6, 1863, at which time the new com-.mittee began to work in connection with the United States Christian Commission. The members of the committee, as it finally stood, represented various parts of the home field.IAI BUN STEEL CL. MANLiFACTURER5 OF OPEN HEAR TH EASTERN OFFICE H-AVEMEYER ]BUILDING NVEW Y ORK, N. Y.

PITTS URG, PA.Somne slighlt chlanges were iade among the officers in i864, William Frew becoming Treasurer and lMr. Albree taking tlle title of Field Secretary. FThe Aworlk of the Subsistence Committee 1had been so admirably done, and it had gained so strong a 1hold upon the confidernce of the conmmunity, that its alliance with the Chlristian Comimission at once secured to the latter a corresponding position and influence. A band of mnen and w%omnen hiad been trained to a just appreciation of the wiTork, ancl to skill in performing it. Messrs. Albree and \Veyman were especially active, and to them belongs no small portion of the credit for the noble record wlhicli their branch presents. Their hlome field, including Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Western Virginia, was well canvassed and local committees organized in every direction. The press and transportation companies freely furnished their great facilities, which were vigorously and systematically used. Various ecclesiastical bodies, as conferences and presbyteries, engaged each to keep a delegate constantly in the army, the several ministers going in turn, and also filling the pulpits of those who were absent Hon. ROBERT MCKNIGHT, Secretary Christian Comnzmissiozn. WM. FREW, Treasurer Christian Commission. upon this errand. The Pittsburgh branch was associated with those auxiliaries which undertook the more immediate care of the armies that had their principal dejpot at Nashville. Help had been sent there by the Subsistence Committee before the Christian Commnission was established in the west, and now their successors, the Army Committee, were proiminent in maintaining and enlarging the wvork, vwhile finding also ieans and men to assist in supplying the armies in the east. The statistical tables tell their own story with respect to the operations of tlis committee. AWVhile the cash receipts ($I58,334.37) rank Pittsburgh below Boston and New York, the value of her stores was sufficient ($679,664.89) to make the total cash value of all her receipts ($837, 999.26) in excess of the returns of any other auxiliary. IFThe annual increase in the amount of stores received was remarkable, being about five fold (renem-nbering that only four or five months should be reckoned for the year i865). The total cash value of stores was only a little less than of those sent to the central office (during the last year it was more than three times as great), and was nearly one-fourth of all that were received by the Commission and its auxiliaries throughout the country. It mnust also be stated that no salaries were paid by the committee, and that the expenses for collecting and forxvarding their immense receipts were $3,787.35 less than onehalf of one per cent. on the gross amount. Such an exhibit would be weakened by comment or praise.11 - -''I'll.........

O.a new era of rapid suburban growth began. Tahe "F rifth. d. avenue line," as the road is popularly termed, extends ew engines of rametypid sburbangrth bcall. Th "Fifth- rp from the business c entre of the city to East Liberty, a distance of five miles, passing through the most eli ible Le residence section of the ofEast End. The down-town loop THE GRE SOHO CURVE, PITTSBRG TRACTIO CO is quite a noteworthy feature, the radius being only twenty-seven feet and four inches. The three cables by which the cars are propelled are operated from two power-houses, one close by the Court House and the other at Oakland. The down-town cable is kept in motion by two Wetherill-Corliss engines of 15o-horse power each, while the middle section and EastLiberty cable are operated from the Oakland power station by two engines of same type, but with a capacity of 5io-horse power each. The speed of the cables away from the business centre is twelve miles per hour. At Oakland contiguous to-i e power-station is a fine two-story car house, with every modern facility to expedite the handling of the seventy-six cars. On the second floor is a complete repair shop. The grades on the line are not steep, but the corners and curves are numerous. The most picturesque of these curves is represented above. It occurs in the middle section between the two power-houses. The Pittsburg Traction Company likewise operates an electric line one mile in length, which begins at the Oakland power-house and extends through a suburban district remote from all other street railways.

FOR several years the question of inviting the National Encampment to meet in Pittsburgh had been discussed at the meetings of the County Grand Army Committee. The proposition to extend such an invitation was antagonized by prominent Grand Army comrades, because a doubt existed as to the ability of the citizens of this community to properly care for the remnants of our heroic armies. A meeting of the Grand Army Committee was held on September I, 1893, to which all citizens who were interested in having an invitation extended to the National Encampment to hold the: twenty-eighth session in Pittsburgh, were invited. Quite a number of leading citizens attended this meeting. After a full discussion a committee was appointed to wait upon the Chamber of Commerce at a meeting to be held on September 3, I893, and submit the matter for their consideration, this being done and meeting with the hearty approbation of the Board of Managers of that organization, it was decided to extend an invitation to the enlcampment then in session at Indianapolis, Indiana, to hold their next annual meeting at Pittsburgh. A telegram was sent Thomas G. Sample, Department Commander of Pennsylvania, advising him of this action and requesting him to present this invitation on behalf of the citizens and comrades of this community. Commander Sample complied with the request and the rare honor was conferred of unanimously selecting Pittsburgh as the place for convening the Twenty-eighth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Citizens Executive Board Twenty-Eighth National Encampment Grand Army of the Republic. THE Citizens Executive Board was constituted by representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Grand Army of the Republic and Citizens, for the purpose of assuming charge of the arrangements incident to the meeting of the Twenty-eighth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held in Pittsburgh, September Ioth to I5th, 1894. The Board met for organization on October I3, 1893. Through the courtesy of the Chamber of Commerce, the rooms of that body were tendered and accepted as temporary headquarters of the Board, and were so occupied until April I, 1894, when permanent offices were established in the Times Building. The organization of the Board was perfected by the selection of officers, appointment of standing committees and chairmen thereof, as follows: OFFICERS. CHAIRMAN-Daniel C. Ripley. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR-Major Albert J. Logan. VICE CHAIRMAN-Capt. C. W. Batchelor. SECRETARY-H. H. Bengough. VICE CHAIRMAN-Hon. B. McKenna. TREASURER-Wm. R. Thompson. VICE CHAIRMIAN-Hon. Wm. M. Kennedy.

A. 9w~~~~~~~~~~~~~a~~~~~~~~l~~~~~~4 In a few instances where Posts through Inistaken zeal have violated this law of the Grand Army their charters have been promptly revoked. It is a fact, however, that the adoption of this rigid rule caused many thousands of Inembers to withdraw. They believed the whole power of such an organization should be wielded to advance the political interests of members and through the power of organized effort compel recognition of these interests by the dominant party in the north. Other causes also operated against the growth of the Grand Army at this time and in several of the central States the order was practically abandoned. In the eastern and middle States the order was compactly held together, but with-a largely reduced membership. Notwithstanding the earnest and unselfish efforts of numbers of influential comrades, the growth of the order from I870 to 1876 seemed at a stand-still, but at no time did these same comrades lose confidence in the belief that the order was yet destined to attain great power and influence. In 1876 there was a manifest change for the better, comrades in the central western States took up the work of re-organization and thereafter the growth of the order was rapid and continuous. On December 31, 1877, but 27,079 members were reported in good standing in the order. On. Deeme 31 187.u 2,7 During the next ten years over 350,000 new members were added and there are to-day over 400,000 men on the rolls, and this thirty years after the close of the military service of its members. This number, large as it is for an organization of this character, does not represent quite one-half of the veterans of the war yet surviving. There are mnany thousands so situated that they cannot have the personal pleasure of attending Post meetings and so they have failed to join the order, other thousands have been members in the past and have dropped out for different causes, and there is a growing disinclination on the part of a large number against making any special efforts at recruiting their ranks, through a feeling that the Grand Army has attained its influential position without the encouragement and assistance of those who, in these years, should have shared in the work which has been of the greatest benefit to all surviving comrades and to the dependent families of the dead. The order has undoubtedly reached high-water mark in point GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN, of membership, and unless legislation is had looking to the Past Co,oaynder-in-chief G. A. R. nd origin- perpetuation of the name of the Grand Army of the Republic tor o), Memo,riaZ Day. by the admission of Sons of Veterans into full, or for a time, qualified membership it is but a question of a few years time when the order will cease to exist. The death roll of members must now naturally increase with an increasing ratio each year. This is the one cause which can now operate to deplete the ranks of the Grand Army, and because this is inevitable it the more strongly emphasizes the necessity for such a fraternity of the men who fought to save the Union. While the Grand Army has wisely abstained from political or partisan action, it has as an organization taken an active part in public matters affecting their general interests, and notably to secure increased pensions for many deserving classes, admitted on all sides to be inadequate as to these, and to remove conceded obstacles to a fair construction of the application of pension legislation. In several States homes for orphans of dead comrades, or for the children of men disabled by wounds or disease, have been established and thousands of children have been properly reared and educated and thus the better fitted to maintain themselves in the struggle for a livelihood. The State homes for soldiers and sailors established now in a number of States additional to the national homes are almost entirely due to the efforts of the Grand Army and the States have thusRECEPTION COMMITTEE.

S. A. I I I d6) 14HISTORY OF PITTSBURGH. ITTSBURGH is the unique city of the Great Republic. It has run the gamut of conquest and disaster in every line of its two hundlred years of history. The flags of three nations and the baniners of two provinces have beenl lifted successively in victorious possession above its soil. Twice captured in war, once desolated and destroyed by fire, once the scene of insurrection, the record ot its Eighteenth Century life bears a bar sinister in blood through Shawnee savagery and the barbarity of European mercenaries. It wAas the pivotal point around which circled for over half a century the intrigue of European Courts. It was the onIe spot on the horizon of the new world whence spranlg the war clouds which hovered over Avestern Europe, wvhenl the lilies of France drooped in defeat beneath the Cross of St. George upon its soil. Humana slavery and sacrifice have been no strangers to its domain. In the history of its first hundred years its ships have told the story of its progress in foreign lands. It has been the battle ground of great nations, and the cradle of a stern religious faith. The Pittsburgh of the present is a magnificent monlument to the tireless energy of its people. Out of the blood and toil and travail of its early years there rose the genius of an irresistable progress, which now finds expression in a myriad diversified paths of greatness. The traffic of its tideless waters is greater than that of the city of New York. Its coal mines are lighting and heating the cities of the South. Its rail mills are rolling out steel bands that stretch gulfward and westward, binding the country in closer bands of commercial unity. Its armor plate mills are girdling the ships of our White Squadrons with impenetrable steel, and its artizans are fashioning ordnance projectiles that all the splendor of European armament cannot resist. Pittsburgh's coke is feeding furnace fires in the old Montezuma land. She is building bridges in the Orient, her locomotives are climbing into the clouds along the slopes of the Cordilleras under the Equator. Her air brakes, astronomical instruments and electric lights are to be found in every land where civilization, science or railroads have penetrated. George Washington discovered Pittsburgh. His Ikeen eye, on the 24th day of October, 1753, was the first to discern its strategic position for a frontier fortress. his pen the first to describe the spot where a future city would be planted that would immortalize an English Earl. But v7who was the first white man, fifty years before Washington, to set eyes on the site of the city that was -to be? This is one of the unanswered problems of American history. His name is lost as completely as that of the red skin pioneer who, preceding him, guided the first of the Six Nations, on the mound builders' trail, into the valley of the Ohio. Here is the story of Pittsburgh's beginning: For at least a century before the first vwhite man had penetrated to the head waters of the Ohio, French traders, with Quebec as their basis of supplies, had journeyed westward along the chain of the great lakes; but civilization, as we understand it, then reached scarcely 150 miles inland from the Atlantic seaboard. There is some little reason to believe that M. De La Salle, or some member of his company, was the first white man to view the site of Pittsburgh. De La Salle was a Frenchman of intrepid disposition, a thorough-paced adventurer, and just the man for the work with which his name is inseparably connected. He was commanderi of Fort Frontinac on Lake Ontario. In 1679, he built a small vessel and with a company consisting of thirty-four men and Father Hennepin, a Franciscan Friar, sailed along the shores of Lake Michigan to the present site of Chicago. He had been preceded in this region by Joliet and Marquette, the explorers, in 1673. La Salle left here in December, 1679, and wvith his followers descended the Illinois river. The Illinois Indians received them with great hospitality, and on the banks of the river, about 150 miles from the Mississippi, La Salle built a fort which I-lc -A _IIA 0 11111 1- 111 P,- -, 4.,, _., 4- _- _ __ 1 -- ---- --- nlamectt ul'evecoeur. l1nese wlnler quarters were leIt In command of1 one of his followers, Tonti. while La Salle, with three men, returned overland to Canada. Under La Salle's direction, Father Hennepin, with Fort Crevecoeur as a basis, started out on an exploration of the adjacent country. He ascended the Mississippi to the Falls of St. Anthony, where he and the two men who accompanied him were captureCd by the Indians. They were subsequently liberated, when Father Hennepin returned immediately to France, and publishe(d an extended account of the country which he had discovered, and which he named Louisiana in honor of Louis XIV. Subsequently La Salle returned to Fort Crevecoeur and proceeded to make explorations tllroughl the vast country to the south and soutlhwest. La Salle himself, with a number of his men, proceeded to the mouth of the Mississippi river, vhile other smaller bodies of explorelrs from Fort Crevecoenr journeyed up the Ohio valley, and, it is possible, reached the point where the waters of the Allegheny and Mono!lgahela meet and form the Ohio, the present site of Pittsburgh. In the journal of George Washington, which constituted his report to Governor Dinwiddie, of Virginia, on the result of his visit to the French military post at Venango, Washington says, speaking of the claims of the French officers: "They told me that it was their absolute design to take possession of the Ohio, and by God they would do it. They pretended to have a divine right to the river from a discovery made by one La Salle sixty years ago." Bancroft says: " Not a fountain bubbled on the west of the Alleghenies, but they claimed as being within the French Empire. Louisiana stretched to the head waters of the Allegheny and the Monongahela, to the Kenhawa and the Tennessee. The energy of the centralized government of New France enabled it to act with promptness, and before the English government could direct its thoughts t) the consequences the French had secured their influence on the head springs of the Ohio." For nearly three-quarters of a century after the discoveries of La Salle, the territory now embraced in southwestern New York, western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky was neglected by both the French and the English. It was not until 1749 that the French entered upon the actual exploration and seizure of the region about the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. When Marquette, La Salle and Hennepin struggled through the primeval forests of the great west they found it sparsely populated byflembers of the G. A.
