This Is a story of how one may get about town, going from one prominent street to the other, without the aid of umbrellas during days when old Jupiter pluvlus does heavy stunts in the watering-pot line.

Of course everybody has -experienced the disagreeable and temper-destroying effects of being caught in a sudden shower and marooned In an office building or under an awning Just at the psychological moment when he Is tn a hurry wants to catch a train, for ln-Btance, or rush out to lunch and back to his desk In the least possible time. But not everybody knows that in many such instances It is not at all necessary to- have a portable, artificial roof; that Is, an umbrella; neither Is a raincoat or mackintcsh indispensable to ward oil the lances of rain. All one needs to do is to take the "under roof" route for his des tination. There are a dozen or more of these in the downtown section but one must do some thinking and mental blueprinting to discover them. An excellent typical case in hand oc curred the other day during a heavy downpour that left pedestrians stranded in stores, offices and under awnings, porte cocheres and other protections from the descending anueous element.

Two gentlemen, one a manufacturer whose office was on ater street be tween Wood and Smithfield and the other a man-about-town, hopped off an incoming trolley at Smithfield and Sixth ave nue. The rain was dashing from the empyrean in bucketsful In fact, in hogsheads. "This is fierce." said the manufacturer. glancing up at the sky Just before they disembarked. "We should have brought out umbrellas.

"We don't need them," the- other rejoined. "Come with me and I will show you how to reach your office with a minimum of wetting." The man-about-town made a dive for the open and public passage of the Henry w. Oliver building, nls companion ioi-Jowing him. Our and past were Suits are famous.

"You won't get any wetter this way, old man." They crossed Oliver avenue and disappeared in the Antler Hotel, 1 passing through the dining room on the first floor and in a few minutes emerged on Fifth avenue.

"I never thought of coming this way," the man of business remarked to the other. "It is well to know all these rainless routes." A Lo-ng Distance Under Itoof. After stopping at a store a few doors from the hotel the umbrellaless pair entered the Harry Davis Arcade and landed in Diamond street. It was still raining cats and dogs. Then they hurried across the street and again were under shelter in the handsome quarters of the Colonial Trust Company; a short cut made by busy pedestrians every day.

This lap of i the journey brought them out on Fourth avenue. Directly across the thorough- fare was the entrance of the Ferguson block and here the two resumed their "under roof" journey until Third avenue was reached. From this point they walked through a well-known store, arriving at Second avenue, where, passing through another store they emerged on First avenue. Here they completed their journey by using another store of the i same firm to Water street. 4 A remarkable feature of this walk, eight city blocks in length, is that it is almost a straight line.

The entrance or exit of every building made use of is op- posite, or almost so, of the building across the street. This route is of great interest to all those wishing to get from Sixth avenue, where many street-car lines bring their passengers, to the busy frequented thorough fares of Fifth avenue, Diamond street and Fourth avenue. Here is another rainless route. Suppose you are on Fifth avenue below Penn avenue say you have been visiting the Exposition and it is afternoon. If you are one of the fair sex, you are, of course, solicitous about new gown or pretty hat.

Anyway, gown or no gown, you don't want to get wet. You wish to get to Fifth avenue near Wood street, i First you enter a large department store, passing through from Fifth street to Penn; then hurry across the street to the Jenkin's Arcade and through it to Liberty street. Crossing Liberty you enter the Wabash Terminal, or depot, emerge at the Ferry street entrance, op- posite Diamond street, and pursue your tranquil way up the short stretch of this public way under awnings and roofed-in sidewalks to the Diamond market. Traversing this you come out on Fast Diamond Square and hurry into the Fifth Avenue Arcade, which brings you out at Fifth avenue or Diamond street, as you wish. If you desire to get to Liberty street and Sixth avenue from this point all you have to do is to cross Fifth- ave- i nue and traverse the first floor of a large department store.

Masculine pedestrians making this" de-, tour may use a saloon running from Union to Market street Instead of the t. Wabash Terminal and the awning route along Diamond street.

RECIPROCITY THE CHIEF ISSUE Farm Note of Border Provinces a Big Factor the Liberals Are Counting on. (Special Correspondent to The Gazette Times.) TORONTO. Sept. 2. It is no exaggeration to say that the political campaign now under way in Canada is by all odds the fiercest that has been waged in 20 years, and it is possible that before polling day it will have broken all records.

The campaign has now been under way for a month and at this stage both sides express confidence in their prospects. The betting, however, as TSr as lias been reported, indicates some preponderance of opinion in favor of the government. One or two bets at even money on the government being defeated have been recorded, but in these instances sentiment seems to have over-ruled judgment. A large number of bets have been made at even money that the government will have thirty of a majority, as compared with forty at dissolution, and a few have been recorded at one to two that the government will increase its majority to fifty. JVhat the Liberals Expect.

The Liberals expect to gain one or two seats in the Martime provinces, they expect to hold their own in Quebec, they expect to gain sufficient seats to allow them to break even in Ontario, and they expect to gain one or two seats in the western provinces. On the other hand, the Conservatives claim jiey will break even In Nova Scotia, thus making a gain; that they will gain a few teats in New Brunswick, that they will make many gains in Quebec, and that they will hold their present substantial majority in Ontario. They claim that Manitoba and British Columbia will go solid against the government. Alberta and Saskatchewan, with their great wheat-growing aeras, are conceded to go Liberal; tn fact, unless local dis-sentions and special reasons cause the defeat of reciprocity- candidate here and there, there Is a possibility that these two provinces will show a clean sweep. Unfortunately for the government, their representation Is not as yet large, being onlv 17 members out of a House of 221.

After redistribution, which will take place this year, it is expected these provinces will return probably 40 members. The Paramount Imtue. Up to date, there Is no question but that reciprocity has been made the para mount issue In the press and on the hust- ings. This has occasioned some surprise to some political observers, who figured that as soon as the opposition secured their object, in forcing dissolution, they I would immediately start a guerilla war-1 fare on the government, attacking them on every vulnerable point, and let the reciprocity isseu ihkc care oi iiaeu. as there is little doubt that the opposition has a good deal of effective campaign material against the government, outside of the issue on reciprocity, it is somewhat remarkable that it has stuck to reciprocity as well as it has.

The explanation is. no doubt, that the inter ests that forced the anti-reciprocity policy upon the Conservative party in the first place have now insisted that the election be fought out on this issue. If reciprocity had been made a subsidiary subject for discussion, and scandal and other issues made the leading planks, possible victory would have been robbed of Its fruits, but Tinder the present circumstances with reciprocity to the forefront, a victory for the Conservative party means that reciprocity is as dead as a doornail and that there will be no possibility of the subject being revived for at least 25 years. That, and that alone. Is what the interests opposed to reciprocity in Canada want.

What these interests fear Is that reciprocity will he such a good thing that the countrv will want more of it. They fear also that once the protective duties on the farmer's natural products have been removed it will be hard to demonstrate that the duties that protect the manufacturers oueht to be maintained. Generally speaking, the government candidates stand to lose votes in the cities snd towns, where the manufacturing industries are strong, and in the rural districts the government is gaining votes, but how manv it is impossible at this date to say. Government supporters hnve to confess that not many Conservative farmers have openly declared themsflven as wllline to forego their party aliegi-nnee for the sake of reciprocity, but on the other hand it Is claimed that a really large number of farmers, convinced that the putting in force of the agreement means many dollars in their pockets Individually, will quietly go to the noils and switch their ballots without making a nubltc announcement.

Miss Wildermann will leave Vienna shortly for Berlin to continue her studies in the German capital under the famous' master, Maurice Aronson. St. Michael's Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. E.

G. Klaphake, has been engaged to render the dramatic musio for the coming season of plays in Michael Hall, Pine street, South Side, beginning October 16 and 17. The advantage of having a special orchestra engaged for the season will readily be understood inasmuch as dramatic music must be rendered in accordance with the requirements of the stage. The members of St. Michael's Dramatic Association, feeling themselves encouraged -Wy last year's success, are preparing tv offer to the members of St.

Michael's congregation and to the public generally some special attractions. In its repertoire of plays for this season is to be found "The Double Triumph," scheduled for October 16 and and "Quo which will be presented just before the Lenten season, also two other plays in the German language, one during the Christmas holidays and another after Faster.

To Director Grande we owe special thanks for the Introduction of lteethoven's Violin Concerto, played In Trop-pau for the first time in the original, with orchestral accompaniment. The public listened with real devotion to this incomparable poem, rendered with extraordinary piety and diligent penetration.

Miss Barstow's youthful naivete and her rettless temperament stand in inverse proportion to her astonishingly matured musicianship.

Vv'ith the purest Intonation, she combines tin assurance of bowing and easily recognizable sensitive delicacy that are admirable. Naturally, she received a most extraordinary ovation, her childlike presence aione making profound impression. Troppauer ZettunR. April 8.

Joachim, however. chose this 'piece dl since it could boast of so proud a name, with special predilection for his recitals, and he was the first to make it accessible to the music world at large. Miss Vera Barstow approached her task, not only from the standpoint of the virtuoso, but also endeavored to enter into the spirit of the composition, and she succeeded especially in the adagio and in the second eantablll subject of the rondo in magnificent manner. Her far advanced technic was pleasingly evident in the assurance and purity with which she performed the staccato passages, the arpeggios and the polyphonic episodes frequently occurring in the concerto, especially the rondo glocoso.

It is certain that Miss Barstow must be counted among those youthful virtuosi who. with Industry and continued strict training (her teacher is Lulgi von Kunltz), are justified some day to ascend the heights of her beautiful art. Frel Schlesische Presse. March 31 "In Beethoven's violin concerto Miss Vera Barstow nlaved the solo Dart. After overcoming an Initial embarrassment, she quickly gained in tempo and assuredness.

Later on she played with very pure intonation and rather distinct individuality. The difficult cadenza and the double stopped passages were played In extreme-, ly clean form. Unfortunately the Instrument carried rather weakly, otherwise her beautiful broad and big style of bowing would have been still more appreciated and admired. The audience overwhelmed the soloist with regu lar ovations. The 3rst announcement made a month ago by the Pittsburgh Orchestra Association of plans for the coming season has broughjt many letters of appreciation and orders for season tickets for the series of five concerts to be given in Memorial Hall, and assures a brilliant concert sea- laadinv ih nn orchestms of the country.

The interest and support given the series last season under the association management has encouraged it to increase the number this year, and in addition to the favorites of last sea-' son, it has provided a treat in orchestras never before nearct in t-msourgn. as it. was deemed inadvisable, after careful consideration, to attempt the formation of a permanent orchestra at the present time, the association feels fortunate to have these renowned orchestras brought here. The following orchestras will comprise the series: Theodore Thomas Orchestra of Chicago, with a soloist to be announced later, on November the Philadelphia Orchestra, with a violin or 'cello soloist, on December the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, with Joseph Le-vhitme, the pianist, on January 13; the Minneapolis Orchestra, Its first appearance in Pittsburgh, on March 16, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on April 8. The Orchestra Association will have offices in the Farmers Bank Building, and In the course of the next month will mail the season prospectus to thousands of music-lovers in Pittsburgh and the surrounding: districts, givlug ail Information in regard to the series and including a subscription card for season ticKets.

Several of William M. Stevenson's pupils are making names for themselves. Donald Chalmers sang with great success on President's Day at the Ocean Grove Auditorium to an audience of 12,000. President Taft was the honor guest. Besides being a popular soloist at this resort every summer, Mr.

Chalmers is director of music for all youug people meetings. Harry Sakolsky, the young tenor, was recently on a visit to Pittsburgh, when he sang on several informal occasions. His voice is constantly improving. Mr. Sakolsky Is known in New lork as Harrv Hepner.

He is a soloist at the Portuguse Temple, N. Y-, and the lunder the Bridge of Sighs between the fjail and court house to the Ross street fntrance of the temple of justice; through he great building to Grant street; across Jrant to the Frick building and up to the 'bridge connecting the Frick building with the Frick Annex. i Coming out at the Cherry alley en-1 trance of the latter one may, if he has nerve enough, enter a big department store through the freight and delivery tiepartment and make his way to Smith-field and Fifth or Smithfield' and Diamond. From this latter point it is but a few steps from the Davis Arcade. Thus the journey may be continued to Sixth avenue.

Or even further, for by going through a store there the traveler emerges on Strawberry alley, where he merely crosses 20 feet of street and dives into the rear entrance of the Seventh Avenue Hotel. This will bring him out at Liberty and Ninth where he may proceed half a square still farther by making use of the corridor of a bank building. Should one wish to go to Fourth avenue or Third from Ross and Fifth avenue he passes though the court house and Frick building, coming out at the Diamond street entrance of the latter; thence across the street to an office building, where a number of lawyers hold forth through this via of a hallway to Lemon alley and into another lawyer's building directly opposite to Fourth avenue. Or by going half a block farther toward Smithfield street the pedestrian may traverse a dairy lunch room, come out on Fourth avenue opposite the postoffiee, and through the postoffiee to Third avenue. Here, by hustling half a block down Third he may reach Water street by the route first told of.

And so the "under roof' routes may multiplied. It is an unique study. I.
