He Writes About Window Workers? WaigeJi mid Koreitsn Competition Stntemcnts Challenged by Clisi mbers. James A. Chambers, president of tho Chambers glass company, has engaged in a controversy with President Burns, of the Window Glass Workers' association, over a statement issued by President Burns to the members of the workers' organization relating to the present wago dispute and bearing upon domestic and foreign window glass prices and manufacturers' profits, showing that tho manufacturers can amply afford to pay the advance asked by the workers. Mr. Chambers challenges the truth of Mr.

Burns's statements when ho supports the claim frequently made that window glass manufacturers are receiving profits equal and to some extent higher under the present tariff than under the McKinley tariff. Among other things, Mr. Burns says in his statement: "Taking the average all around on single and double, the average cost of importing French glass over the actual cost of manufacturing, with freight from Pittsburg to Xew York included, will uverage about 36 per cent. The averag" price of a box of glass SxlO, Sxl2, lx12 and 10x11. as taken from the report made by James A.

Chambers of the date of January 3, 1S, shows the selling price of a box of glass for the year 1SM in these brackets to he $1 5, and a box of from 10 to 18 to 12x2 $1 SO. He does not state what quality this glass is. The net price of a box of single, under the present list, at the discount of 75 and for SxlO to 1x14 is $1 'A for first quality; from 10x16 to 32x20, SI So. first quality. A prominent large jobber gave me a statement showing a purchase of 12 cars of glass from a Pittsburg manufacturer during the year ending and also witn as near as possible the same number of boxes to a car and the discounts, showing the actual cost of each car, which gives an nvcrage increase of 4i) per cent on the 12 ars purchased last fire over the ones the year previous.

Another prominent jobber asserts that allowing manufacturers a car for the increased cost of production this year over last, they Mill receive about J3'Yj a car more for glass during the rast tire than they did the year previous. The average duty on window glass at the present lime over lC'i per cent. This shows conclusively that the manufacturers can pay the list asked for under this tariff. The American manufacturers have during the last fire advanced their prices 20 cents net per box on the following sizes: 11x11, 11x17 and 16x20 slngla and in double."

Three flore Attractions: WAN OPENED ANOTHER HOUSE. Phipps Conservatory Chrysanthemum Exhibit Grows Bigger and Better. MANY RARE NEW BLOOMS.

Another house full of chrysanthemums was opened at the Phipps conservatory yesterday. A host of new things were to be seen. Despite the cold weather 1S.000 people saw the posies. The chrysanthemum show at Highland was pretty, too, and no less than 5,000 people saw it. Sehenley was a sfudy in fall fashions.

Tlie dual' attraction of the greatest chrysanthemum, show on earth and the art exhibit attracted thousands. The fashionable set was out in full force, and rubbed elbows with the millworker's wife and children in the aisles of the big Phipps conservatory and in the galleries of the Carnegie art palace. A continual stream of people circulated between the two big buildings. It was. the first Sunday the art galleries have been open.

Notwithstanding that fact the Phipps donation housed the greater number of visitors. It was posies vs. paintings, and the posies won. The flower Show was much more popular with the general public, and it is g-eneraliy so. The art exhibit was seen by more of the fashionable folk, put the throng at the conservatory was one of those crowds that has helped to make Pittsburg-famous.

There were all sorts of people wandering through the aisles together. Men who work on the streets tor a dollar a day, surged through the crowded aisles alongside women clad in silks. Victory for tbe Polo. The Phipps chrysanthemum show was bigger and better than ever. Kvt-ry day now set this flowers in herter shape.

The sunshine and light of last week had a telling effect, and the big blooms are gradually ncaring their glory. The show will probably last two weeks The southwest wing, full of pretty, late blooms, added much to the attractiveness of the place. The southeast wing, full of early blooms, and the center house, with the plants that hae slipped in between, compose a beautiful cluster of displays about the Victoria house. One of the features of the show in the southwest wing ia the extreme length of the stems of the chrysanthemums. Some of the stocks measure 10 and 12 feet; 10 feet is the average, and there are but a few whose stalks are less than nine feet.

Each stalk is as clean, healthy, and free from rwt as possible, and altogether-the big -exhibit is a most extraordinary affair. The renowne4 Mrs. Hardy is a great attraction in this wing. That beautiful, hairy, white bloom is, perhaps, queen of them all. It is a stately flower.

The bloom is a most -perfect white, and very woolly. Florists say it is prettiest of all, yet hardest to manage. Robert M. Gray is much after the fashion of Mrs. Hardy, too.

It has that stately appearance, is hairy, grows very large, is hard to manage, and in everything except it3 color is a counterpart for Mrs. Hardy. It is brick-colored. Some of tbe Wonder. Mrs.

Craig I.ippencott. an air" bloom with incurved petals, and a wealth of bright yellow, Is a very pretty specimen, and is scattered about the houso in prolusion. Milibrook is of the same color as Robert Gray, but in design like Mrs. Lippencott. It is used to offset the former.

Indiana, a silver pink, very peculiar in shape and noticeable among all the other blooms, made many friends yesterday. Ruth Ellis. a comparatively new specimen, and said by florists to be a coming plant, was alongside the Indiana in many places throughout the southwest wing. The petals of this plant are shaped like a corkscrew, and the pair give a splendid idea of the great difference in chrysanthemums, even those of the same color. Some of the later blooms that are coming along in the southeast or early wing, have been allowed to retain their original Japanese names.

The blooms are all large and pretty, and during last week were rearranged with a beautiful effect. The aisles were raised to the same height as the side and center benches, and visitors are enabled to look over the top of the sea of color. A collection of artemeslas, or poinpone, the old chrysanthemum, i3 a feature of the exhibition in the center house. The blooms are very small about one-fortieth the size of the latter day blooms. The object in the grouping of this line is to get hem as small as possible, just as it is to get them very large in the chrysanthemums of to-day.

Mjnerva, a yellow standard with 75 blooms, i3 another big attraction in this room. Each of the blooms ia perfect in itself, and this standard is said to be the finest ever grown. The stalk is three feet long, and from it goes out 75 stems. The stems form circles, and the whole affair Is The usual shows by electric light will be given this week. THOIGHT HE HAD A IIOMI1.

A Molveesport Roy Arrested In Knn-Kia ns a. Suspect. Ernst Gamble, a popular vocalist of McKeesport, who is now in Europe completing his musical education, had a most thrilling experience in that country a few weeks ago. Mr. Gamble has written his father, C.

W. Gamble, relating his experience. A few weeks ago the Czar of Russia, officials, and 20,000 soldier, were parading the streets of a city in Russia. Jlr. Gamble happened to be in that city on that day, and had his kodak with him.

He was standing on the side-walk waiting for a favorable opportunity to take a picture of the czar. One of the soldiers happened to spy Mr. Gamble with the peculiar looking box in his hand, and, thinking he was about to throw a bomb, rushed up with hayonet fixed and placed Mr. Gamble under arrest. Immediately several soldiers surrounded Mr.

Gamble, and he was about to be cast into prison. Mr. Gamble had considerable trouble in explaining what he had intended to do, but finally convinced tho soldiers that he was not a bomb-thrower, but that the harmless box he was carrying was only a kodak. He was then allowed to go, but was not permitted to take the picture of the czar and tiis soldiers.

GOOD WORK OF THE CLUBS. I rgos Democrat to Continue to Carry on the Fin lit. A 1,1 OF DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS itinera Mc County Chairman Joseph Howky lias Issued an address to the Democratic voters. He recites the ditlit-ulties the party had to contend with in the late campaign, praises the wirk of the Democratic clubs and urges the formation of district associations, provided for by the new rules of the party. The address is as follows: "As the chairman of the executive brdy of the Democracy of Allegheny cfunty I ftef--ire tn thank you, and through you the members of your organization, for the noble work you have done in the campaign just closed.

The Democracy in this fight was not able to make the fireworks campaign carried on by the opposition. The contest was a peculiar cue. and the issues at stake deprived our party of much of the assistance so essential in the conduct cf a political battle. What we lost in this manner was gained by th" opposition, and while we doubly weakened by a lack of financial aid. the opposing- party was correspondingly strengthened.

"The Ijss oT ir.aity of our wealthy men. and the la oT for oar citizens, raidc the formation Jf district marching organizations an utter impossibility ia many and especially i- a larse mtnber of districts within our county. S.i-h orgjnisations attained to th Ic-m- ra wt-te bailt up and maintained soiib" through tae zeilous eiforid and the intense intcrt.st of the memoers who composed tJiern. I realized that fact throughout the campaign, and appeared a we'giity matte- It was this sarr.e fan that sevfrai prompted me to fay tint or.c Dnuaeratic organization was iisriiig more for its party than two o.r tjbs fostercu by the party that fouu'-: prH-ciples. Since the srr.cke or i i' is cleared away I have beer, t.ijrc th i.i ever convinced of that fast.

I'riiisr the- Organisations. "K.i di.uri 't orgar.iz is deserving o' (jreit credit for the good they accomplished member of tich organization is deserving of credit for his exer-tiors iti cenalf of his party and its prtn- clubs were rot formed solely purpose of display, and it Is evident tha: each club wa.s a working, a hardworking, organization. In the face of the ponderous odds arrayed against us this is not to see, for oar enemy tvu kept well in hand. The public meetings you have held, the literature you have the citiz-rs of your district, and the work of the indivMual members o.J your organization, have all hd their effect. "Yet we were beaten, and, although beaten, we have accomplished a maeriitl-eent victory.

I regard the showing made by our party in this campaign, fought as It was by every Influential pOwer, ns second only to the victory achieved by that most wonderful of men, Andrew Jackson, under similar circumstances and against such odds. "Since our clubs have wielded such an Influence, and since they have so well served their party, would it not be well to continue them as organizations? At the beginning of the campaign many of the clubs were formed as permanent associations, a most commendable move, and will still be found fighting for right. "The new rules of the Democratic party In Allegheny county, just recently gone Into effect, provide for an organization of Democrats In every ward and district in the county. Committees are to be formed, and the district organization is made tho executive body of the district in which It operates. The work of the party Is transacted In the various districts by these organizations, and every good Democrat is given an opportunity to assist in building up his party through his own efforts.

Will Maintain the Interest. "This will eoon arouse an unusual interest in every ward and district throughout the county, and it will be the apparent duty of every Democrat to assist In the wor of his party. "I'nder such circumstances I most surely believe that the campaign organizations so well formed should be continued, and that they should take up the work of the party, participate in the business of the party, hand in hand, or as a part of the various district organizations. Section 3 of the new county rules provides the duties of the organizations, and show clearly how each Democrat can serve his party. Each district organization will be a part of the county organization, and the object of the rule mentioned Is to keep every district in touch with the county or-ga nlzation.

"It Is the request of the Democratic county committee that the name of each dub. the location of its headquarters and the of its officers be sent to the headquarters at once, that a record may be kept of the associations already In existence and that a meeting of tho members of the clubs may be called at an early day to the feasibility of nuiking all of the organizations permanent."

When it is forthcoming the great Sehenley park will be greater than ever. All that is needed is a word of assent from Mrs. Sehenley. That word will most likely be secured by the father of the parks. His influence with Mrs.

Sehenley is considerable in the park line, and he will prouabty able to convince her that it is the proper thing to do. He has another scheme to accomplish that end, and that is how the city will come out without any expenditure. Mr. Bigelow will probably have an audience with, the donor ol tho present park soon. He wili ask that she increase the park by giv-ng" the city ail the land between the Murdoch property and the church at Boquet with the exception of a strip 500 feet long by 200 feet deep and fronting ou Forbes street.

Will Increase tlie Valnt-, Director Bigelow thinks with the park extended right up to that little strip of land the Vaiue of the strip would increase to that extent that it would be as valuable as the entire plot is now. H- will go into at. agreement with Mrs. Sehenley to increase the value of her property in consideration of a "further donation. It is a business transaction pure and simple, and the public works, man has -a record of being clever in that line, as shown by the deal he has made for the city.

The value of property abutting the Allegheny parks is shown as an evidence that Mr. Bigelow's proposition is a practicable business one. Lots adjoining the Northside parks are very valuable, growing more so, and are located just as the strip Mr. Bigelow proposes that Mrs. Sehenley shall retain.

Real estate dealers look upon the affair with a sort of respect for Bigelow's ability. Andrew Carnegie intended going to Sehenley for a drive over the smooth roadways and to see the Sunday crowds yesterday, but he was unable to get out during: the afternoon. In the morning, however, he was driven over the Highland drives and was much pleased with that pprk. Tho Panther hollow bridge was open to vehicle travel for the first time yesterday. The approaches at either end have been entirely completed, and the short route through the park is now complete in every sense of the word-All the drives beyond the bridge are in good shape, and this beautiful part of big grounds is in excellent cftndftion.

This week workmen will go to work on the lake beneath the new bridge. In he building of the structure the pond become filled with debris. Stone, iron and wood fell into it. At times it was necessary to place machinery in spots in the lake and platforms were built in it. The banks were broken down, too.

and the stream that filled it was clogged up. Cleaning? Out tlie Lake. The building of the bridge practically destroyed the pretty little lake, but the work of destruction is to be undone. The park workmen will clean the lake out, rebuild the banks, open up the feeding stream and generally remodel that portion of Panther hollow in which the lake is located. The lake will be filled, and the first free-J will bring outdoor skating at Sehenley.

Superintendent Falconer said yesterday that a goodly number of men would be put to work ir. the hollow, and that the lake would be gotten ready for the winter merry-makers at once. He says if there Js a freeze next week there will be good skating. There will be skating on artificial Ice at Sehenley to-day. The Casino will be opened for the winter skating season.

The place was open yesterday and hundreds wandered through it to view the improvements. The sudden brisk weather scared the horticultural department of the big park yesterday evening- Foreman Joe Spring feared the chill blasts meant that tSio thermometer would find the freezing point, and that meant a deal of trouble with thousands of plants. Just back of the southwest wing are hundreds of boxes called outdoor houses, in the hardy plants that are to comprise the next flower show, are growing. Jack Frost's evil designs would have meant dire destruction to all of them, and meant no holiday flower show. It was ideas of this sort that kept the night force at the park on the jump.

All the boxes had to be covered, and they wre, and the midwinter show will come off as per schedule. HEADLONG INTO HAVE. Awful Experience of lnnK Girl in Ho'meiteail. Miss Nellie Chapman, who has been a prominent and earnest worker in Hie First Christian church of Homestead, was buried there yesterday, after" but a short illness. The funeral was a very large one.

Miss Bessie Bair. a friend of the dead girl, with several companions, went to the cemetery witness the interment. In stepping back ironr the grave, out of the way of a carriage, the young woman missed her footing and fell headlong into the open grave. She struck on her head and nlvouldeFS, and the fall, together with the shock, rendered her unconscious. Help was summoned, and Miss Blair was taken home and placed under a physician's care.

She recovered consciousness last night, and the physicians eays aha will probably recover. Abandoned tbe Cable. The East Liberty branch of the Penn avenue cable is a thing of the past. At 13 o'clock last night it was tkt-n up and the eleatrio cars put on. East IJberty passengers will now transfer at Thirty-fourth street, where the electric line will terminate.

We do not have to say very much about "Our Own Blanket," for its reputation is established.

We may mention incidentally, however, that it is simply the best blanket that can be bought for the money anywhere. It is made especially for us. and comes in seven different grades, at $3.00, SS.50, $4.50, t.50, $7.00. In each grade the value for the cost is beyond the reach of competition. Penn Ave.

CLAIMS ROYAL BLOOM. Hneer Stof of an Anpllennt for Shy In Allegheny. A young who claims to be descended fron apobion Bonaparte, called at the Ail neny Central station last night and asked for lodging. He refused to sleep in the tramp room. His story is that the first he remembers of himelf distinctly was in New York city, living with Morris Krowsky, a tailor, who told him he brought him to this country when only 2 year3 of age.

A few years ago Krowsky failed In business and disappeared leaving his wife and family in destitute circumstances. Later he turned up in Milwaukee, where he again started in business and sent for hia family. Young Bonaparte went along with them, and until about four months ago worked as a tailor's apprentice with Krowsky. When he had completed his apprenticeship he started out in search of employment. Hard luck overtook him.

and while stealing a ride on a railroad train near Washington, L. C. he was arrested for trespassing and sent to the District of Columbia workhouse. While serving his term there he had his foot broken. The Society of the Bed Cross sent him as far as Pittsburg.

He wants to get back to Milwaukee, where he says he can get employment at Iris trade. He thinks Krowsky stole him from his home when he was a baby. LIGHT COAL SHIPMENT.
