mammas by the score crowded through tho

one was the prettiest baby In tho world.
They climbed the stairway lelidlng to tho
bandstand platform, where the show was
held, and there they anxiously awnltcd tho

It was a new thing for the babies. Thev

their chubby little arms, sucked their
thumbs, made goo-goo eyes at each other
and evldontly thought It great fun. One
little girl refused to be weighed and when
a crusty bachelor serving on tho committee
of arrangements ' asked her how old she
vas, she puckered up her dainty mouth and
cried.

l.nusih nt Them.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 16. It was a tur
bulent day for President Shaffer and the
general officials of the Amalgamated asso
ciation. Tho headquarters of the organisa
tion were crowded today from morning
until evening with delegations of Mrlkers
awaiting word from Itho leader regarding
the settlement of "the strike. President
Shaffer arrived In his office early in the
day and remained until 6 o'clock tonight.
Ho had difficulty In seeing all who came,
and finally arranged to sec Individual dele
gations from each todgc under promise
that what they learned from him was to
remain secret, except when the subject
was brought before the lodge nnd In the
lodge room. The callsrs at tho general
offices were all mora or less excited and
many were deeply Incensed. Many of the
strikers declared they would not respect
the order calling the strike oft until they
were given full particulars of tho settle
ment. Otherc were calling boldly for tho
resignation of President Shaffer and an
other class demanded the withdrawal of
tholr lodges from the organisation. The
most worrying feature to President Shaffer
was the presence of newspaper men In tho
headquarters. Ha finally ordered them
from the building. His order was not
obeyed, .but on his promise that nn offi
cial statement nf the settlement would be
given out later some of the men withdrew.
Tho statement was not given out after all.
Nhnffer Minim Pnlillc.
At 6 p. m. President Shaffer left for his
home. He looked neither to the right nor
to t'he left. He seemed depressed nnd
wanted to avoid everyone. Other officials
of the organization busied themselves cir
culating among the angry men and making
a plea for quietness and patience. They
Insisted that the settlement would not prove
so bad as reported. None of those who did
this work were ready to give any Inkling
of tho terms granted or how It affected the
men on strike. Those who wero finally
permitted to see 'President Shaffer departed
from headquarters looking decidedly dis
pleased and muttering much against whit
had been told them.
Before leaving his office President Shaffer
announced that he did not think It was
necessary to maki a statement. He said
he was satisfied that none would bo forth
coming from the manufacturers, as they
had given him assurances that they would
not rtneal the conditions of tho deal. One
of tho officials other than Mr. Shaffer said
It was but natural that "nothing would be
said about the settlement. He added. that
It was galling enough to bo beaten, without
talking publicly about It.
Home Striken; to Kin lit " Uut.
A meeting of the tin workers of the Star
mills was held during the afternoon and
tho matter of tho strike settlement was
taken up. After the meeting the men an
nounced that they had decided to remain
out and keep up the strike until they had
heard from President Shaffer. They addJd
that If the settlement was such as to make
the Star mill nonunion they would refuse
to return to work and would fight the battle
single-handed.
The strikers at the Monongahela .plant
of the same company have, taken similar
action. When these facts wero 'presented
to President Shaffer he only laughed sar
castically. Ho offered no commeut.
At the Painter mills the strikers had
taken no decided action on returning to
work. It had been reported ut tho mill
that about a dozen old men bad applied
for work, tut nono had been taken bayk.
The strikers at the Llndsey & McCutchcon
mills applied for work and about a dozen
were re-employed. The American Sheet
Steel works reported that the old men had
returned at Plqua', O., and at the Aetna
Standard at Mingo Junction, and that some
had asked for work in the Canul Dover
mills. In the first three they have started
to work. In the Canal Dover works the
stokers were not accepted for thi present.
The mill Is running partly with noa-unlon
men and for reasons not offered the ofli-clalt-
decided to hold off until Wednesday
be.'oro accepting any of tho old incu

The American Steel Hoop company re
ported of the five plants In Ohio which
wore Idle all operating today. These
plants Included the upper and lower mills
In Youngstown and the plants In Warren,
Glrard and Greenville. These plants are
all union and will remain so. With the
American Sheet Steel company It was
stated that by the starting of the additional
union mills yesterday the company was
turning out 85 per cent of the normal ton
nage. Defore the strikers returned they
were getting out 65 per cent.
me reports rrom the National Tube
works show that over 4,000 strikers In
McKccsport asked for work there In the
various plants during the day. Of this
number about 2.000 wore employed. The
other 2,000 were not omployod. owing to
the mills not being ready for them. It Is
expected that they will all return to work
during the week.
Tho indications that tho tin workers
will withdraw from the Amalgamated asso
ciation shortly and form an Independent
organization are becoming stronger. Many
of the more Important workmen are active
In suggesting this course and In giving
united nld to those men who are standing
out In the Star and Monongahela plants.

last night, the feature belnf,' the considers
tlan of bond maturities. According to i
statement submitted by City Treasurer
Koutsky there will be due at the stato fiscal
agency In New York on October 1, IS4.3SO,
Of this sum there Is scarcely $2,000 on han
to meet the obligation. In order that th
matter might be tuoro fully discussed hy
the finance committee It was allowed to lay
over until tonight, when nn adjourned
meeting will be held for the purpose o
taking action In order that the treasure
may make provision for taking up the bond
falling due.
It will be necessary, eo It Is stated, to
Issue refunding bonds for the amount and
this, under tho new charter, can be done
without a vote of the people, the coumil
naving tne power to authorize such an
Issue. Tho bonds for Improvement districts
' wnera ,nero nai beu no litigation will be
floated at 6 per cent Interest, but In tho
disputed districts, those having been do
dared Illegal by the court, general Indcbt
edness bonds will be Issued. These general
bonds will bear 4 per cent Interest, as this
Is all the charter allows. On the Twenty
fourth street paving alono there Is J20.000
coming due and about $1,100 curbing. Other
districts in dispute will be Included In this
Issuo of general bonds. For the 6 per cent
bonds the flnance committee expects to se
cure a premium, but It Is thought that
there will bo no great demand at this time

There will bo no altcm.pt on tho part of
the city at 'this time to borrow money for

Board Defer Dnlldlns.
This resolution offered by Loechner was
adopted by tbe Board of Education at Its
meeting last night: "In view of the fact
that some of our citizens have declared
their Intentions to prevent any attempt
on the part of the board to provide a suit
able High school building for the needs of
our pupils I move you that the propositions
to erect a High school at this, time bo tem
porarily postponed and that all bids re
ceived for the erection thereof be rejected
and the enclosed checks returned."
Before tbe adoption of the resolution J.
Breen, attorney for the board, gave a
lengthy opinion . He said that It was unfor
tunate for the patrons of tho schools, but
An Excellent Combination.
Tho pleasant niothod and beneficial
effects ut the well known remedy,
Sybup or Fios, manufactured by the
California Fin Sykup Co., illustrate
the valueof obtaining tho liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to bo
medicinally laxative aud presenting
them in the form most refreshing to tho
taatei and acceptable to tho system. It
is the ono perfect strengthening laxa
fleaslnff tho system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverr
gently yet promptly and enabling ono
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Ita perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and Its acting on the kidneys,
Ilrer and boweln, without weakening
or irritating them, make It the ideal
laxative.
In tho process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they nre pleasant to the
taste, but thu medicinal qualitienof the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the Cauforku Fio Kvnup

tho board to abandon the matter for tho
time being. Tho suggestions of tho attorney
were heeded and the board adopted the

by Superintendent McLaln, to tho destruc
tion of property nt tho schoolhouses dur
ing vacation. On this account extra sup
plies will be needed, frof. McLaln sug-

of pupils In Albright, Mella's and at the
Lincoln school are needed nnd the bulldlnes
and grounds committee will look after this.

Although notice was served on Saturday
to six saloon keepers that they must come
In by Monday noon and pay the license feo
of $1,000, there was only one response
and that was from the saloon at 2602 N
street. In looking over the list given to
tho chief by Acting Mayor Adklns It was
found that an error In numbers had been
made In two Instances. While Investigat
ing this matter the chief of police found a
saloon not on record. Last night Mayor
Adklns said that be proposed to proceed
at onee and close every saloon not pro
vided with a license. Steps toward .this
end will be taken today. Tho 11,000 paid
