President Kerr and Manaser Donovan th be.it part of yesterday In selecting the material for tiniforrr.3 for the trJvtes for the coming' season. anI If the local team Joes not succeed In lauding the pennant, they are going after ono record at least, and that is to be the neat-eat dressed team In the National learue. The president and manager had (julte a Ftvck to choose from, and alter their labor for the day had been completed they sat back In their chpirs and congratulated tuemstlves on what they think will be the neatest la the league. Last sea-son the team wore a white uniform, with black triminir.ta, for the noma games, and their traveling- uniform was a Yale gray, with dark blue trimmings. This srylft of uniform is in a measure a re- quiremiit of the National league, In order ti.at strangers may without trouble the homj from the visiting Viayers.

The uniform selected for this year will to some extent be the same, only that more attention will be paid to de-tail. The home uniform selected is a milk white, with seal brown stockings h.i.O belt, brown eao with the letter handsomely worked on the front of it, arcl across the breast of the shirt will be "Pittsburgh" in neat brown letters. The traveling uniform will be a real light gray InMead. of th Yale color, and brown ftcckins, belt and cap. The traveling win include a very neat doubie-rireasted brown coat instead of red, as worn last year.

The officials think the uniforms wil! be by long odds the hand-porrest ever worn by a local team. After material had been selected an order was placed with the Spalding Comnany for a complete outfit, and the uniforms are expected here before the team leaves for the South on March 20. Manager Donovan had the measurements of the players, having received the iast one yesterday, and they were sent in with- the order.

He Is a great believer in on the tild.

and the local players will he exported to present a r.eat, clean appearance at all times. The players will be furnished with the very best of uniforms, and they will be expected to care or them and not to go on the field looking a though they had just come out of a Lrickyard, or had been doing a chimney sleeping act. Manager Donovan was in a very happy frame of mind yesterday, ad be had received letters from numerous of the players him that they were in good shape and eager for the opening of the season.

The action of. Rov. Dr. Rainsford, rector of St. George's Protestant Episcopal church, in advising members of his parish who received invitations to the masked boll of Mrs.

Brudley-Martln not to attend, Is the subject of much discussion. The ball will be given February 10. It was at first Mrs. Martin's intention to build a temporary ball room at the rear of her house In West Twentieth street, but it was found that the building department would not permit a wooden structure to be erected. A structure of corrugated iron, which was thought of, wouJd take too long to consu-uct, consequently tho Waldorf was decided upon.

It is said that many from distant cities have expressed a desire to attend the ball, and great pressure is brought to bear i'or Invitations. A feature of the ball will be the quadrilles arranged by Mrs. Astor, 3drs. E. L.

At the time it was estimated that thla bail the hostess and her guests In this is reckoned the money enect for costumes, flowers, hair dreswers aiid carriages. There were a thousand guests at the "VanJurbllt ball. As much as $700 was spent by one lady upon her costume. The average ex-r-nije. however, of ladies' cosiumts was about 2S, of gentlemen's about $175.

These figures were baaed upon newspaper interviews at the time with dressmakers and costume-mak-irs. More thau a thousand invitations hav teen l.ued for the Bradley-Martin bail, and its total cost is put down at SJoO.OO1).

together with th expense of costumes for the various members of the Era icy-Martin fam'ly, will easily raise the total of the expenses on the sid of host and hostess to SIOO.OjO. As It is snfe to say that the averaga cost of guests' costumes will exceed thuse of the Van-derbilt guests, you might estimate as tne amount which wil! be laid out by the invited on modistes, costumera, tailors, shoemakers. halrdresKers, florists, perfumers, waiters and livery stable keepers.

The Deetom "Wanted Seven UnnJrcd Dollars to Attempt tbe Cxte Tbe following is a letter we received a short time ago from M.

C. Hlnkley, 602 orth Mississippi street, Indianapolis, Gentlemen While suffering intensely from piles, I became interested in your advertisement in one of our daily papers and procured a package your Pyramid Pile Cure from our druggist. Contrary to any expectations, the was instantaneous. 1 used two boxes of the Pile Cure and one of the Pills and am convinced that they are the only pure cure- for piles on the market. I have been a sufferer from plies for fifteen years and have been confined to my bed about one-naif of the time, expecting and wishing for death for the pain was so great.

I went to the college here and the doctors said case was a new one to them, the great pain having brought on a large rupture, which they wanted seven hundred doiiars to cut out. I was very much afraid that death would result from the blood-pcisoning which they said would result from the operation. I feel as though I can't praise the Pyramid Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills too highly, as I am convinced that they saved my life. Before using your cure I weighed only ninety pounds and now I weigh one hundred and fifty and feel as well as I ever did in my life. You are at liberty to use this testimonial In any manner you may see fit, as I want nil sufferers from thiB terrible disease to know that there has at last been compounded a remedy that will cure piles.

MRS. il. C. HINTCLT5Y. There la no need of the danger, pain and expense of a surgical operation for any form of plies.

The Pyramid Pile Cure does the work without pain and is the safest and best- also that the Pyramid Pills are a certain cure for constipation, acting without griping and restoring natural action to the bowels. The Pyramid Pile Cure is pold by druggists at 50 cents and J1.00, and the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents, or by mail from Pyramid Albion. Mich. BICYCLERS JIUST STOP. Same Rale In Crossing; Railroad na Applies to Pedestrians.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25. (Special.) In the supreme court to-day Justice Mitchell filed an opinion In which he holds that the rule requiring a pedestrian' to stop, look and tinten before crossing railroad tracks, must be observed by bicyclers. "The real contention of the appellant." says the Justice, ''ia embodied in the proposition tha the circling round and round constituted a legal as well as a bicycler's stop. No such proposition can entertained for a' moment.

In so circling the rider must to some extent have his attention fixed on his wheel, and at parts of the circles must have his back to the track, which he is professing to watch. The law requires a full stop, not orly for the sake of the time and opportunity for observation, but to secure undivided attention, and tha substantial and not merely perfunctury performance of the duty to look and listen. Riding round and round in large or small circles, waiting for a chance to shoot across, is not a stop at ail, either in form or substance. Considering the ease of dismounting and the control of the rider over his instrument, a bicycier must under all ordinary circumstances be treated as subject to the same rules as a pedestrian. "VVe do not say that there may not be cases of accidents by nroken gearing or steep grade, or other casualty which will require a modification of the application of such ruie.

but these cases will be exceptional and must be decided on their own tacts when they arise. The general rule to be applied requires that a bicycler must dismciunt, or at least bring his wheel to such a stop as will enable him to look up and down the track and listen in the manner required of a pedestrian. It is plain that the deceased In the present case did not do this, and that his failure to it was in effect the unfortunate accident by which he lost his lif." S03IETHIN(H)F A HIX.

Some days since it was given out that Trenchard had been signed for physical director of the Western University of Pennsylvania, and that he would take charga of that part of tue institution's work a.t once. This news was hailed with delight by all the university men as Trenchard Is known to be one of the very best football players and coaches in the country. The following from Chicago puta quite another tace on the matter; "Wisconsin will have another Princeton athlete to assist in developing athlstrcs at that institution. According to reports from Boston 'Doggy' Trenchard has been enraged the regents of the University of Wisconsin as physical instructor. Trenchard la one of the best ends that the Tigers ever turned out.

and captained his team in 1893 and liM. There in also a likelihood tnat 'Phil' King- will be seen a.t Madison this spring. "The secret of the matter is that Wisconsin is ambitious and thinks that first place in western athletics belongs to her. Iast spring her track team wept everything in front of it in the western intercollegiate meet, aad last fall her football team made a most creditable showing. In addition the Badger crew defeated the Yale freshmen on the latter's course." Sebleller and Black Beaver Falls, 25.

The United States supteme court to-day affirmed the judgment of the California district court in the case of Robert Robertson and four other seamen arrested at San Francisco for refusing to obey orders of the master of the Aragcn after having entered into articles to make a voyage to Valparaiso. The constitutionality of the law empowering justices ot the peace to arrest deserting seamen was involved -and also the question whttber their arrest violated the involuntary servitude amendment to tho federal Constitution.

In Spite of Hi tins told and Flylnsr Frost the Play Hooscs Were Well Patronized and the Amlleiices Well Pleased.

A farce that Is funny without a hint of vulgarity in "My Friend" 1 from India," which was given its first Pittsburgh presentation at the Alvin theater last evening. Even in leas capable hands than those of Messrs. Smyth Rice's comedians, the laughter must be continuous. But with Frederic Bond, Walter E. Perkins, S.

Abeles. Miss May Yokes and their able associates, the only quiet moments in the Alvin, last evening, were those while the curtnin was ascending on each of the three acts The plot of the farce is decidedly original, the comical situations hlngelng about the attempts of a Kansas City ex-pork packer to. break into New York society by means of a fad in the shape of a young scapegrace of a barber who pretends to be a theosophist just returned from India. The pork packer has a couple of pretty daughters, a harum-scarum son and a giddy sister, who is looking for her third husband. In the second act the most amusing complications ensue sver a broken mirror, two Persian gowns and missionary who lias two counterfeits.

Such laughter as these evoke is seldom heard in a theater. It was the unanimous verdict of a large audience that "My Friend from as a destroyer of the blues, is an unlimited success. A popular matinee will be given to-morrow. The Avenne. The Avenue stock company presented a bright, clever comedy entitled "The Lottery of Love" to audiences yesterday and last night.

It is described as an eccentric comedy, V-tit it is more like a farce comedy. It has many very good points, and there are lots of funny but there are some dragrgy places in it. particularly in the first act. The various characters are well handled; in fact, it is doubtful if the piece could be presented better than the Avenue stock company does it. Miss Lizzie Hudson Collier, the new leading lady, had a role which did not give her much scope in which to demonstrate her ability, but in so far as her part allowed, she gave promise of bettor thing3 when ehe has better opportunities.

The vaudeville features were well up to the Avenue standard. Morris' ponies made a great hit; Moreland, Thompson and Roberts, in funny songs and jokes, had to respond to half a dozen encores; Maria Heath, in character songs, made herself a favorite; the Borells, Bloekson and Page; the ventriloquist; Harding and Ah Sid, Bates and Bates and the Martinetti brothers made up the program of vaudevilles, to all of which was added a revival of Manager Harry Davi3' presenting- all new views. The Bijou. "The Power of the Press," Pitou Jessep's great American drama, as admirably staged S3 ever, was witnessed last nleht by a crowded house. H.

Coulter Brtnker takes the leading role, that of Stephen Carson, the ship carpentur, who is cast, into prison through the intrigues of Turner Morgan, the villain, who loves Carson's wife. The press comes to the young ship carpenter's aid, establishes his innocence and brings Morgan to justice. Miss Lillian Lamson. as Julia Scymore, who does such kind service to Carson and his brave wife, performs her part very cleverly. Among tbe other members of tbe company who deserve especial mention are Ivid V.

AVfc.ll, as Sidney V'arian. the dude, who Invents a patent corset clasp, and Murry AVoods, as Mike O'Callighan. Miss Minnie Victorson, as Dan. the lame newsboy, is very clever, as are also Gertrude Dawes and George S. Foil, as May and Sam.

The play throughout Is clean and wholesome, and besides pointing a strong temperance moral is brim full of fun. The Sew Grand. At the New Grand last night Mr. Gus Ileege and hi3 company presented "a new Swedish dialect' comedy drama, entitled "A Yenuine Yentleman," which title, on-supposes, is the phonetic reproduction of tbe hero's modest characterization of himself. TUij piece bears no author's name, and is a most extraordinary hodgepodge of absurdly impossible f-ituations.

About the bt-st that can be said of It is, that it gives almost uninterrupted occasion for the presence of Mr. HeKe on tbe stage, which, attt-r all. is probably just what it was intended for. Mr. Heege as the central figure gives the same representation of the impti U'rb-able and big-hearted Swede that his work in similar parts has rendered familiar.

He was admirably assisted by Miss Julia Batchelder, as Sven's Ameriosn sweetheart. Jessie Castle. Miss St. George ilussey as Miss Cordelia O'Grady, though cast in a minor part, trade a most pronounced and well-deserved hit. The balance of the company ranks from the medium to the fairly good.

Altogether, if one is not too particular about probabilities, and can accept such stage law and such delirious situations and events without difficulty, the piece is worth seeing. But one wishes that whoever is responsible for tho play had infused as much common sense into it as he did action and spectacle. Tli" Dnqaenne, There la a splendid entertainment here this week, begining with Prof. Wolff's overture, a descriptive fantasia entitled "A Day With a Circus." This cannot be described, it has to be heard. This is followed by various 'amusing, and some very entertaining acts, and no lPtle excellent Yvettn Violette's im-mltatlons of the famous Yvette Guiibert, were specially well received.

In Addition to these she wili render a number of coster sonr in imitation of Chevalier and Elene. But everybody seemed to wa't to see Handsome Bob Hliliard, and when "The Littlest Girl" was announced the house fairly rang. It is one of the prettiest thintrs of the sort on the stage, and Hliliard, assisted by little Alice, Ed Holland and John Wolfe, did not disappoint his many old friends, it is a show in itself for those who have a taste for the beautiful, the Innocent, the sweet. The biograph still continues to exclta the wonder of visitors; Eden Mnsee. The M'Barrison sisters drew fairly well yesterday, but did not set the house on fire, at least not as old Rube is said to have done.

They are five, each Rnd every one a high kicker and grotesque dancer, made up to resemble in sine degree the Uarrisons who dropped in on Ktw York some time ago, and who have as suddenly drowed out again. The house agent says these "live yeilow haired women make up in chic what they lack in artistic merit." They are not naughty, as some pretend t' Fny. The house artis-t has given a very creditable character sketch of the iot on the canvas exhibited In the lobby daily. Old Rube was admired by his old friends. Although inanimate he looked life Ilka and awe-inspiring.

The Zingari gypsies told the fortunes of lady visitors free, and Eli Bowen showed how agile a legless man can be when he knowns how. The Empire Vaudeville Company presented numerous specialties of an enjoyable chiiracter. The Academy.
