What is home without a mother? some
body has asked just for the sake of showing
that he is smart eno'ugh to know what a
motherless home is. Bat there is another
sort of home that is not a home at alL It's a
hybrid thing a domicile, a residence, a
bouse or dwelling, but not a home.
It may be a cousin to a palace or it may
be one small room at the top of a tenement
bonse, and it is talked of-by its owner or
lessee as a home. You notice that it isn't
the least bit sacred in his eyes or in
those of anyone else. "Wby? Because
the man's heart isn't there. He has
so chains of love or dnty to bind him to it
softly bnt most strongly. There's the secret.
Home mar not have even four walls and a
roof though it may be said they are con
venient to have around may not represent
5100, or may bave cost 51,000,000, it is all
the same if the heart of its owner or owners
be there.
What is home without a mother? An
orphan asylum, perhaps. But what is home
without a heart? Sitcplvnot a home at all.

As an Instance of how small suggestions,
trivial enough in themselves, sometimes influ
ence the author whose keen judgment accepts
them as indications of a change of public taste
or thought, Mr. William Gillette, the dramat
ist, tells of an incident which first turned his
mind in the direction of an American drama,
resulting in the production of the remarkably
successful play, "Held by the Enemy." The
author, some years ago, chanced to be visiting
in Frederick, Mar land, on Decoration Day.
The veterans of both the Federal and Coufed
erate armies had made arrangements to strew
flowers on the graves of their fallen comrades
on the same day, tbe cemetery in which the
Northern men's graves were, decorated being
in jiaryiana, ana tnose oi tne soutnerners lust
beyond the border line, in Virginia, With
muffled drums and furled flags the ex-soldiers
of the tno armies each marched from
their own rendezvous to their special
destinations, Gillette went to attend the cer
emonies at the Union cemetery. As the salute
was fired over the grave there came the sound
ot firing from the Confederate cemetery. The
orator of the occasion noted this fact and in
his peroration suggested that it would bo a
noble, humane and gracious act for the body
of Union soldiers to march to the Confederate
Cemetery and decorate the resting places of
the dead of the "lost cause," many of whom,
though they had been arrayed against them
under a different .lag, had been dear neigh
bors ana companions before the national strife
Degan. inecrowa needed no persuasion, and
at onc the march began. Word -was sent to
the Confederate veterans of this purpose, and
when the Union men arrived aud were received
through an open column of Southern
soldiers the scene was one of the
most tender and touching that the young
author had ever-witnessed. That noble act
swept away all sectional feeling that had pre
vailed and cemented all hearts in a common
brotherhood under the dear old Stars and
Stripes. This incident, Gillette says, convinced
him that the time had come when the people
of both the North and, the South would be
willing and glad to receive a play founded on
the Civil War, providing its plot should not be
drawn by a hand influenced by sectional pre
judice, and a few years later he produced
"Held by the Enemy," which has been as en
thusiastically welcomed in the South as in the
North.
This Week's Attraction.
Those play patrons who have for so long a
time been regretting that America has too few
works of a distinctively native character, will
find an opportunity to welcome one of the
worthiest or our dramas to-morrow night,
when William Gillette's celebrated war play,
'Held by the Enemy," will be presented. Jt is
familiar to the amusement seekers of this city,
but its theme and its stirring incidents will
meet with no diminution of interest on that ac
count, for the story is one that can be followed
with keen enjoyment many times. Mr. Gillette
has handled his subject with a careful hand,
and never once can there be detected tbe ele
ment of offensive prejudice, even though tbe
treatment is bold and .spirited. Its recent
production in New York on the occasion of the
opening of Lester Wallack's Theater, under the
management of A. M. Palmer, was a high
compliment to the work, for In a season limited
to Coquelin and Hading, Mary Anderson and
other attractions under Mr. Abbey's control, it
was awarded the place of honor in tbe list,
leading all the others. Theauthor has not only
provided a strong drama in "Held by the
Enemy," but he is said to feel some pardonable
pride in making a military play that is consis
tent witn an tne technical tactics employed Dy
his soldier actors. The War Department is
said to have furnished him with authority for
all the military matters he has em
ployed, and before it was first pre
sented to tho public was subjected
to a very careful revision by General William T.
Sherman and other officers of experience. It
will be given here with all the New York
scenery and by a company of admirable artists,
the most of whom have been Identified with
thB nam in which thevaooear from the time
of the first performance of theplavin Jew
York. The principals are Mr. James Ii Wilson

.by the Enemy," Gillette &Hayman'sbig "She"
company will begin an engagement at the
Bijou on January 11, with the complete scenery
and chorus.
The Grand Opera House will be honored
with the presence of Messrs. Booth and Barrett
this week. Of course th,a public of Pittsburg
will be glad to see these great actors anywhere.

with the addition of 'The Fool's Revenge"
and "Yorick's Love,", which we think have not
been played here by this company before. The
repertoire is arranged as follows: Monday
night, "Julius Caesar;" Tuesday night and
Saturday matinee, "The Merchant of Venice;"

Thursday, "Hamlet," and Saturday.

announced that the plays are. provided with
scenery by the company, and ot course the
costumes and the mise-en-scene generally will
Show the judgment, harmony aud good taste of,
Mr. Lawrence Barrett, Altogether, the great
est actor America, or the world, perhaps, has
to-day, Edwin Booth, will be seen to unusual
advantage on this occasion.
A gentleman naiAed John W. Coffee, who
combines in himself the comfort of being a
skeleton, with the elegant reputation of being
a -dude, is the primary star at the Casino
Museum this week. He is reported to be
thinner and more captivating than ever. At
the last town he played at he received -423 pro
posals of marriage. He hopes to do even bet

giant Pat O'Brien will sit near Mr. Coffee.

ANNUAL SCHOOL APPB0PEIATI0N.
An Increase Rendered Necessary by the
Growth of tho Schools.
The Finance Committee met yesterday at
the Central Board rooms, and made the gen
eral estimate for the expenses of the schools
of Pittsburg during the ensuing year. They
are as follows: Ordinary expenses Central
Board, -$8,119; High School, 5,870; Normal,
51,310; geueral expenses, $372,173, made up of
SOCO for teachers' salaries, $2,750 for music,
$5,000 for evening schools, janitor's dwelling
3,000, less estimated balance on hand February
1, 1SS9, of 3,500, which makes tbe total appro
priation asked for ?3S4,80J.
This is an increase of 817,604 over last year's
appropriation, made necessary on account of
additional teachers and a janitor's new build
ing at tbe High School. The items for the
Central Board expenses include those for offi
cers, printing, etc. The additional expense of
$3,000 for the janitor's dwelling is considered
necessary, because the High School is- over
crowded, and bis present domicile is to be used
for additional rooms for the pupils.

A FIRM'S PROGRESS.
Uosenbaum' Bis Trade Compels the Firm
to Meke Improvements.
Now that the holiday season is past and
the rush and bustle has settled down into
the expected January dullness, it might b;
well to take a glan'ce over the field of trade.
It is not necessary to Include every firm
in the city in the observations, as Bosen
banmisa model merchant The holiday
trade of this firm seems almost phenomenal,
yet when one considers- the low cash prices
of their goods and the strict attention paid
to the wants of customers, it becomes noth
ing more than the result of such sound busi
ness habits.
The firm is now making preparations for
extensive improvements in the storerooms
on Market street and on Fifth avenue.
Their increasing trade compels them to
adopt these measures.
The firm acknowledge that competition is
keen and-that their rivals are men of judg
ment and ability, but these talents are over
come by their purchasing goods in large
quantities in the East and paying cash tor
them. The retail sales are then made n't the
lowest possible rates.
A large clearance sale is now in progress
at Bosenbaum's. These goods must be sold
in order to give them room to make the pro
posed improvements and at the same time
lay in a stock of spring goods. A large
quantity of trimmings, white goods, gloves,
etc., must be sold and the prices are so low
there can be no question but the sale will
indeed bring about a clearance.
A New Yenr.
With the new year try tbe new brand of
flour Rosalia manufactured by Whitmyre
& Co., Thirty-eighth street and Allegheny
"Valley Bailroad, guaranteed to be the best
flour in the market, -- -
The above cut represents1 one of the
youngest soldiers of the War of the Eebel
lion now grown to manhood Comrade G.
W. Dean, of Colonel J. B. Clark post, No.
162, of Allegheny City. When 14 years of
age he enlisted in Company C, Third Begi
ment, West Virginia Cavalry, on the 28th
day of October, 1861. His service, like that
of all cavalrymen, was of the exciting and
never resting kind, and his regiment was
kept constantly busy in West Virginia
taking care of Mosby, Johnson and other
rebel Generals ot dashing note. Young
Dean was honorably discharged from the
service on (he 8th day of April, 1863, near Mar
tlnsburg, W. Va., on account of disability.
At the close of the war ho settled in Alle
gheny, where he has since resided. He Is act
lvely interested in Grand Army work and
is identified with several secret organizations.
Last year he was Marshal of the Third division
of the parade of tho Jr. O.-U. A. M. on Wash
ington's birthday. Through the recommenda
tion of Hon. Ormsby Phillips, 11 years ago,
Comrade Dean was appointed an officer in the
Western Penitentiary, where he is still em
ployed, having filled satisfactorily almost every
subordinate position In that institution. He is
a member of the McClnre Avenue Presby
terian Church, and has always taken a great
interest in tbe betterment of the unfortunate.
He will doubtless be promoted to the position
of Assistant Superintendent of the Pennsylva
nia Industrial Reformatory at Huntingdon.
Pa., a position lor which his experience and
Christian character as a gentleman well quali
fies him.
The reformatory is a .State institution in
tended for first offenders or those who have
just started on theplown grade. The objects
and aims of which are to take such offenders
and teach them somo useful branch of business
or trade and educate them. They will then be
dismissed on "ticket of leave" and will be re
quired to report to the Superintendent at least
once a month. If they become good citizens they
retain tbeir liberty, but if they return to their
old sins they can be taken back to the reform
atory without being tried the second time.
Again if adversity overtakes them they will ha
privileged to return to the reformatory as a
place of refuge and thus be tireventcd from
committing crime. If on the other hand such
offenders should prove unruly, they will not be
'kept at the reformatory, but will be turned
over to the penitentiary in tbe district from
which they were sent to the institution.

The comrades cf Timothy Ingraham Post.
No. 121, of Hyde Park, Mass., met with a severe
loss on Friday by the fire which destroyed tho
Everett Block. The Post was holding a fair
for the benefit of Its relief fund and lost many
thousands of dollars In valuable pictnres. goods,
army relics and Post property. The firo oc
curred early in the morning and no one was in
jured. The controversy having been settled who
was tho.yonngest and oldest soldier to enlist
during the war, the Department of 'Minnesota
is said to be trying o find out who was the first
oitizen irom that State and who was tbe first
in the United States to enlistin 1S01. The timo
could be better employed looking after the in
terests of the order.
Street Superixtendext Wallace, of
Auburn, N. Yr, was recently convicted of mis
demeanor, in having refused employment to a
veteran soldier and his team on the streets,
while he was employing men not veterans.
This was the first conviction in that State
under the law. The penalty is not to exceed
$500 fine or one year imprisonment, or both.
The charge had been made that General
James Jordan, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is
known to many Pittsburgers, had refused to
appoint veterans of the war on the Kings
County Elevated Railroad. On Investigation
the cnarge was found to be false aS many well
known comrades looked into the matter and
proved that the General had always favored
and given preference to the old soldiers.

Below will be found an order of much im
portance to company commanders. For
several years after the riots of '77 it was the
habit of regimental and company command
ers all over the State to bave a supply of
ammunition constantly on hand where it
could be reached at a moment's notice. Of
late, however, the vigilance in this line has
relaxed to a certain extent, and a sudden
call for tbe troops in many cases would have
found the men useless for want of ball cart
ridges. As the militia in a number of 8tate3
have been doing riot duty during the past few
