- OTJB IKDUSTBIAL BEINT0BCEKEUT8.
The latest intelligence with regard to in
dustrial developments, takes the shape of a
big plate-glas factory which is to come
from Belgium to Pittsburg and make things
lively both in the plate-glass market and in
an industrial way. The Belgians appear to
, appreciate the fact that they can make glass
nowhere else so cheaply as in Pittsburg, and
arc consequently talking of taking them
selves and their plants as soon as possible to
the industrial center of the world.
The pilgrimage of the industries of the
effete monarchies to share in our natural
advantages, is an edifying and inspiring
sight. It is true that plate glass concerns
and steel mills are likely to crowd each
other in transit With Krupp taking
up his line of march from Germany, the
Belgians shifting the base of the plate-
f glass manufacture to our city and English
syndicates buying up sites for towns and
tank glass concerns, all at once, the passage
may be uncomfortably jammed. But it
will be all right when they can get over.
Crnppit negotiating for abig river frontage
up the Monongahela and there are a few
other choice manufacturing sites in the
environs of Pittsburg, left for reinforce
ments of such rank. When they are com
fortably settled down in the valleys of
Western Pennsylvania we will unite with
them in showing the world how iron, steel
and glass can be made., in quantity and
quality never realized before.
I Pittsbnrg may well shout a welcome over
the Alleghenles to the Belgians. Let them
bring all Belgium with them. There is
plenty of room for the whole nation in
Western Pennsylvania.
THE WHOLESALE UCEKSE QTTESTIOir.
The Supreme Court decision on the ques
tions of wholesalers' and distillers' licenses
handed down yesterday, is likely to strike
the ordinary and. uninstructed mind as in
creasing the mysteries which environ the
license laws. Nevertheless upon careful
t Jtudy, the grouncLof the decision is tolera
bly clear"JThe'"rnling of the Supreme
Court is that under the act of 1867, which
ip still in force as to wholesalers and dis
tillers, the courts of the rural counties
lave the same discretion as they have with
regard to retailers; while in Allegheny and
Philadelphia counties the special law, left
unrepealed as to wholesale license, gives no
such discretion. This together with the re
marks of the Court on the defect of the
present law should suggest the importance
of amenuments which will make it uniform
all over the State.
PirrSBUEG'S GREATEST CHAKCE. """
The statements of Colonel T. P. Eoberfs
with regard to the supply of water for the
proposed canal between this city and Lake
ijde, together with the views of other engi-
ccrs, places the practicability of the pro-
jct beyond question. It is an agreed fact
Hat water sufficient for vessels of 800 or
000 tons can be obtained for the canal.
' uch a canal would permit the barges loaded
t Marquette and Escanaba to discharge
leir cargoes at Pittsburg and load back
gain with coal.
It is almost impossible to overstate the
d vantage which such a project would bAng
i Pittsburg. It is not too much to say that
the enlargement proposed in 1870 had
sen secured, Pittsburg would to-day have
sen a city of over half a million inhabi
mts. It is easy to count up the popula
on engaged in the iron and steel indus
ries, diverted to other cities, by the dis
riminations of 1873 to 1878, that would
late up the difference. With such a water
nte those discriminations would have been
npossible and those industries would have
een located in Pittsburg. With that route
pen the discriminations which squeezed
ut the Pittsburg refining industry would
ive been equally restrained.
This gain can be secured for the future, if
ttsbnrg will arouse itself to its possibili
&. Not a day should be lost in urging
the work: to actuafmaterialization.
EEIiIEy JOE THE AE FAMINE.
The statement that the release of cars
heretofore enirased in the traffic bettwn
Pittsburg and the lake, will permit the re-
uu oi iuc car i amine, is welcome news to
the shippers' of freight that take&4beall
rail route, but it hardly giveamnch conso
lation to those who have had large ship-
Enehts to make by lake and rail, and have
been unable to get them transported.
"While, of course, any relief is grateful, it
rwill hardly remove the feeling that the
facilities for transportation at a place like
Pittsburg should be adequate to the de
mands at any time. As to the rule of
eharrin? demurrage for rant rtfjiinerl
vvond a reasonable time, if that wouldhave
remedied the difficulty it should have been
resorted to long ago. The rights of carriers
in thatrespect are clearly fixed by common
aw, and there is no reason whv they should
Enot be enforced, upon due notice, whenever
ecessaryto the proper discharge of their
business.
"( LOKPEDEO'S DECLAEATIOir.
iKThe announcement of the Comte d'Eu,
the .son-in-law of Dom Pedro, Emperor of
Brazil, that the Emperor wiH surrender the
throne whenever the people of Brazil de
clare their preference for a republic over a
monarchy, is a novel one; and yet it shows a
good deal of wisdom on the part of that
liberal old rnler.
Tj the Emperor should do what is promised
Vwonldinot be the first time that he has
wwn himself to be a good deal of a re-
abUcan. It is not likely thatie will be
.ucujuuu 10 Bsn geoa ue assertion,

S'S?0111 F7Blar a .tht I
declaration that he trill hold his power only at
the approval of his subjects practically puts
his government on an irregular bwiiof
republicanism. Dom Pedro will rale to
the end of his days, but whether a republio
may not succeed him is. a question for the
future to decide.
The New World has set many examples
to the Old World; but there are lew that
should be more instructive than the spectacle
of the Emperor of the second largest empire
in the world declaring to his subjects that
-be will maintain his dynasty no longer than
the majority of them wish him to.
THE 0EE RATE UP AGAIN.
The formal and authoritative nnnouce
ment that, on November 20, the freight rate
on ore will be advanced to 51 CO indicates
that the railroads arc still disposed to get
the last cent that is possible out of the
industries of Pittsburg.
The advance is explained on the ground
that the iron market has improved so much
that iron interests are able to pay better
rates. There is some foundation lor this;
although it will take but few such advances
as this one upon ore and the appreciation in
the price of coke to confiscate all the im
provement that has been made in the aver
age price of pig iron. But that does not
touch the meat of the matter. The reduc
tion of the ore rate to 51 05 per ton was
made on the clear showing by Mr.
Carnegie that the higher rate was
transferring the pig iron Industry
of Allegheny county to the shore of Lake
Michigan. At the reduced rate, ore is the
most profitable low class freight carried in
large volume by the railroads. The re
duction was the wise choice of one railroad
to carry a liberal volume of ore freights at
moderate rates rather than to let the busi
ness dwindle and perish. Are we to con
clude that the roads are now agreed to make
all the money that they can for the moment,
and to kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs?
We do not believe that the railroads can
maintain ihis high rate, which has not been
really In force except at brief intervals since
years before the passage of the Inter-State
Commerce law. If they do the Pittsburg
manufacturers should begin anew the agita
tion which produced the concessions of last
summer. In the meantime it may have a
pertinent bearing on the project of the
canal, which will bring the ore here at a
tithe of the charge that the railroads are
now seeking to impose.
THE PEICE OE PEHTCES.
The revelations concerning the monetary
basis of the marriage of Hiss Clara Hun
tington and Prince Francis Hatzfeldt are
more interesting than any other feature of
this exchange of American cash and beauty
for a German title and rascality. They
show that Prince Hatzteldt conducted the
deal with Mr. Collis P. Huntington with
considerable shrewdness. The price the
Prince put upon himself at first did not
meet with Mr. Huntington's approval. The
American railroad king was willing to pay
a fair sum for a genuine prince, even if his
royal highness were a little flyblown and
faded, but he could not take the Prince at
his own valuation. Then Prince Hatzfeldt
began to scale down the price, lopping off a
hundred thousand dollars at a time. What
the exact figure was at which Mr. Hunting
ton agreed to take the Prince is not known,
but it is known to be 'enough to
pay the promising son-in-law's debts,
which amount to a million, dol
lars. We understand that there is prodig
ious joy among the money lenders, gam
blers, blacklegs and fair and fast women of
Paris and other European capitals over the
prospect of the liquidation of Haltxfeldt's
debts. This jubilation is probably prema
.ture. Prom these transactions we can estimate
with tolerable accuracy the present market
value of European Princes. Prince Hatz
feldt, son of a second rate German Prince, a
gambler, roue and deadbeat of great
notoriety, a pariah as far as decent society
is concerned, gets in return for his hand in
marriage hearts are never referred to in the
high world a pretty American girl, a
million dollars, and a father-in-law worth
many millions more to fall back upon; Mr.
Collis P. Huntington has always been re
garded here as a sharp bargain driver, and
we presume he got this pretty prince a littie
below rather than above the market price.
Still Prince Hatzfeldt looks very dear to us
at any price.
Taking then what Mr. Huntington paid
for Prince Hatzfeldt as a guide, what are we
to suppose would a No. 1 prince, a moral,
self-sustaining, tolerably sensible man cost?
Certainly a fabulous sum, such as not even
an Astor oraYanderbilt could afford to pay.
For the convenience of American parents
and heiresses who desire to procure royal
connections, it is desirable that some expert
on the subject should compile and publish a
price list of eligible European princes at
once. Very little space need be given to
such matters as the character or financial
standing of the royalties, but plenty of room
necessarily must be set aside for the selling
figures.
THE CAHAL WOULD AKSWEE.
The reports of scarcity of cars for railroad
shipping in Pittsbnrg, must not merely
awake our business men to the need of new
railroad lines, but interest will, we trust be
'strengthened in the ship-canal project
With water transportation between Lake
Erie and Pittsburg, immense advantage
would accrue to this town. But if it is
worth having, it is worth working for. The
manufacturers and merchants of Pittsburg,
if they are fully .alive to their interests,
will lose no time in organizing working
committees to push along for the canal.
They have just made a success which Is pro
ducing important benefits by establishing
an Exposition. The co-operation, of effort
which "obtained results in that instance can
beprofitablypracticcdon a much largerscale
in respect to the ship-canal.
The industrial exhibition at Mechanical
Hall is reported to be taking very attractive
shape. In that case, why not give the pub
lic a chance to see what our manufacturers
can do in the exhibition line, upon payment
of an admission which will help to meet tbe
expenses?
Since The Dispatch has discussed
ihat reported Kansas usury law forfeiting
the principal where usurious interest u
charged, it is no more than fair to say that
the report was incorrect The law previous
to the last session only forbade the collec
tion of interest above 12 per cent, and in
case it was collected required the excess to
be credited on th.e principal. The amended
law reduces legal rates to 10 per cent and
forfeits double the excess. Experience
proves that usury laws do not amount, to
much; but it will be a very general opinion
that the man who tries to get over 12 per
cent interest, deserves to lose it .

The Navy Department Has received bids
for the construction oi three new cruisers,
the contract' speed-of which, has been re
duced to sixteen knots in order to come
within the legal limit' of cost Inasmuch
as foreign nations are building cruisers of
twenty-two and twentjMbur knot speed, it
is merely throwing away money to build
vessels that could neither ran away from nor
catch them. The absence of the Cramps
from the bidding has been made the subject
oi explanations; but the most creditable one
would be that they do not wish to damage
the reputation, of their concern by building
such slow vessels.
The oil market reached the point yester
day where it was absolutely necessary to
pay some attention to the threatening man
ner in which the wildcats throughout the
petroleum regions are developing into

The first effect of the change of the Cot

ization was to squeeze about 25 per cent of
water out of its capitalization. Tbe capital
being reduced from 543,000,000 to $32,000.
000, there is 'still plenty of water left in it
But when it was discovered that .the trust
scheme'couldnot hold the tnouoDoly, it was
also discovered that it was best to get rid of
some of the fictitious capital on which it
was hoped that the monopoly would earn
dividends.
The announcement that the Yanderbilts

Chicago's real estate boom has reached
the'stage of a "grand amphitheater sale,"
at which a'balloon ascension will be made,
and from the height of 1,000 feet the aerno
nautwill send down a parachute with a
deed for one of the lots to the finder. We
should fear that this balloon feature would
be unpleasantly suggestive of the nature of
the real estate values, with a warning that
when the boom bursts the supply of para
chutes to let values down easily will be ex
hausted. The advance in ore rates indicates that
if the railroads cannot transport all the ore
that is offered them, they are bound to get
all the money they can out of what they do
carry.
It is asserted that Senator Vest has his

Tbe Success of n Pittsburg Boy Some
Bather Odd Celebrations of Birthdays.
WASHlwarON the little has how three dally
papers. It Is remarkable how the success of
one man in a perilous venture will attract
others. But Mr. Byron Clark's bit with bis
bright and really newsy paper, the Journal, is
not likely to be duplicated. It was a daring ex
periment that Mr. Clark made, but the hard
work which he brought to bear In tbe enter
prise carried It over the reefs easily enough. I
heard a few days ago that the Journal is
already paying nicely, and those who have any
idea of what a difficult matter it Is to establish
a daily paper on a paying basis In a small town
will be inclined to compliment Mr, Clark
highly.
The success of Mr. Clark In Washington is
not a surprise to the newspaper men who
worked with him for many years in Pittsburg,
and know him to be a brainy, hard workor, en
veloped in more modesty than would sufljeo a
half dozen men.
Occasionally a man or a woman is found who
does not have a very clear notion of when he
was born.
' There used to be one of those anomalous be
ings who can take caro of a garden, a horse or
a cow Indifferently well in tbe employ of a
friend of mine. He was wont to come to his
master for advice en ill sorts of questions.
Once he came into the house and asked for an
audience. When "he was admitted to tbe
library and bidden to say what be wanted, he
said, with a pull at his forelock: "It ye plaze,
sir, I want to bave a birthday."
"Certainly, Pat. When does yonr birthday
comer"
"Faith an' that's what I don't know at alt
That's what I want ye to tell me."
"How can I tell you?"
"Oh, everywan has a birthday but me; and
the byes they laugh at me 'cause I have sorry a
one."
And'bydlntof cross-questioning the master
learned tbat his man did not knowwben he
was born, but needed a birthday to-celebrate.
"I tell you what you'd better do," said the
adviser at last "You're an American citizen
now, and you should take tho glorious Fourth
ot July as your birthday."
Tnis pleased Pat Immensely and he cele
brates July i to this day with tremendous
energy.

There lives, or there did a few years ago,
an old lady in this county who has a movable
birthday. She had the good fortune to be born
on Easter Sunday and she insists on receiving
presents and congratulations on that festival
no matter when it occurs. Lots of people have
tried to reason with the old lady, calendar in
hand, but she replies to them all, "I was bom
on Easter Sunday mom 3 years ago, and till I
die Easter Sunday will be my birthday."
And this reminds me of the very loyal En
glishman born in the shadow ot Winchester
Cathedral, on tbe 21th day of August the
birthday of William IV. who when tnat
neutral-tinted monarch died, changed his birth
day to May 21, In order to still enjoy the coin
cidence of a birthday with his sovereign.
AT THE THEATERS.
Roland Rocd In n New Piny Zlg-Zne Ar
tistic Dogs and Sensations.
There is not a little humor in tbe ingenious
comedy written by tbe late David D. Lloyd
and entitled 'The Woman Hater." It snlts
Mr. Roland Reed very well, and be made a
large audience laugh very heartily by his oddi
ties and embarrassments as the man
who had the name of a woman hater,
and loved women not wisely, but too
many at tbe same time, at the Grand
Opera House last night What It lacks of being
a really valuable addition to the list of Ameri
can comedies, may be jnore directness of plot
condensation in plenty of pllcea, and a charac
ter besides Samuel Bundy of strong individuali
ty. It does lack a good deal of being compar
able, for Instance, with such work as "Tbe
Henrietta." Probably if it were boiled into two
acts the motive of the piece would not seem so
deplorably weak,
Mr. Reed is blessed with a face that Is com
ical, even in tbe repose of deep slumber. His
nose is an amusing anecdote in profile, ana
viewed from the front is a pointed jest A cer
tain angularity in his body from toes to crown,
and a voice that is normally an elfin horn from
Yankee land last night it was muffled In a cold
make up Mr. Reed's big stock In trade. He
can assume more queer attitudes than any
comedian we know, and his voice usually has a
range and variety of intonation that are equally
peculiar. All these personal characteristics be
gave to Bamuel Bundy, and a funny imperson
ation it was. Nobody else made any vigorous
effort to be humorous except Mr. Harry A.
Smith, as a semi-servile college professor, j3or
aee Mulbridge. Miss Isadora Rush, a Pennsyl
vanlan debutante, made a very charming
widow, with a delicious taste in dress. Miss
Rush is a strikingly handsome woman a very
bright blonde in complexion. Miss Ruth Car
penter, in a small part showed great good
looks. Nearly all tbe company seem to be suf
fering from that mysterious complaint "tbe
Pittsburg grip." 8o hoarse was Mr. Reed that
he was unable to sing his incidental songs, and
made a little speech instead at the end of the
third act
Harris' Theater.
Crowded houses yesterday afternoon and
evening greeted the presentation of "The Old
Oaken Bucket" by tho Gray and Stephens
Company. The play Is one of the good, old
fashioned melo-dramas which appeal so
strongly to tbe sympathetic side of human na
ture, and keeps the interest of the audience at
fever heat from the rise of the curtain on tbe
first act nntil it drops at the close of the last
act Miss Minnie Oscar Gray, who is one of
tbe best impersonators of heroio boys now be
fore tbe public, assumed tbe role ot Messenger
Boy, and her rendition of the character was
warmly received. Messrs. Joseph Coyne, J. C.
Harrington and Charles Eastwood did some
clever comedy work, and their singing was
quite a feature of tbe performance. The
trained dogs played their parts with great
cleverness, and were charmingly Indifferent to
the applause they won. The special scenery
carried by this company for the staging of its
productions, is very flno, not a necessary detail
having been omitted.
On Thursday afternoon and for the balance
of tbe week this company will produce tbe
popular melo-drama "Saved from tbe Storm,"
which lias been larsely rewritten by its author,
Frank Dumont this season.
The Bijon Theater.
"Ziz-Zaq" seems to be as popular as ever,
for a great audience went to see It last night at
the Bijou Theater. It is much tbe same romp
ing, ding-about, musical, nonsensical farce that
it was last year. The changes are merely inci
dental and unimportant Miss Anna Boyd,
handsome as ever and wearing no end of pretty
clothes not too many at once and a select
company of other girls attired gor
geously, and mythologically at one place,
endowed tbe play with the light of their
Jiersonal beauty. Miss Alice Vane also shone
n an elderly role. The comedy no. there is
no comedy in "Zig-Zae" the acrobatic harle
quinade was well attended to by Messrs. Hejler.
Wheelan; Fisher, Clark and Kyle.
If, moreover, wo say that some of the singing
Is tuneful and fresh-voiced. Miss Boyd's topical

of others. The Museum contains a number of

arc simply results of his successful archery in
the past. No less than four brides will spend
the day alternately in joyful anticipations of
.having a home and a husband all one' owu,
and sorrow at the severing of girlhood's ties,
combined with the fear of the responsibility
that tbe step about to be taken will place upon
them. What a conflict of emotions the wed
ding day does create, and the brides are .not
alone in the conflicting state,though the grooms
affect an indifferent matter-of-fact air which
does not deceive a close observer and only
makes them the more interesting, and snrely
when contrasted with a charming girlish crea
ture in bridal attire aud some half dozen bride
maids, more or less, In all their you.;h and
beauty, the groom needs something to make
him interesting. On the wedding day, if no
other, the lord of creation is thrown, in tbe
shadow completely, and around the bride and
her maids centers almost all of the interest of
the occasion. Of course; tbe groom and his at
tendants are necessaryattribUtes at a wedding.
It would bo impossible to abolish them en
tirely, but it is a little amusing tbat on the most
important day of their lives the superior crea
ture must take a back seat in favor ot the
weaker party;
Aprops here, wben tbe groom is a mere
figurehead anyway, why do sp many of them
betray such a shockingly bad taste In tbe
selection of a best man, who, by bis superior
features and physique, absorbs what little at
tention might be paid to the groom? A bride
has too much tact to do anything of tbat sort.
In the selection of ber attendants she always
plans to bave them aids to her owu beauty,
rather than bave it eclipsed.
Among those who will commence to-day the
solution of the question whether marriage is a
failuro or not, will be found Miss Diana Mon
tague, daughter of Mr. and- Mrs. .James Mc
Quiston, of Brushton. to Mr. Joseph B. Vander

place in tbat edifice. Tho reception which was

to the i'mpassai le condition of the street will
be held at the future residence of tbe bride and

Doctors, Stock Dealers, Barglars and
Train Robbers Female Sailors and Sol
diers Women Who Tell Other Women
What to Talk About.
No woman has taken to the, trade of .tat
catching yet, so far as Is known: but the gentle'
sex are occupying tbe most ot other fields
of human industry at a rate wblcb would be
alarming to men did tbe latter find aught but
pleasure in this rivalry. Some of the best doctors
in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago are
women. Lawyers in petticoats have been
heard of since Portia's day; and are quite num
erous in tbe West Preachers in hoonsitirts
ttiefa have been from time immemorial. Joan of
Arc was one, Mrs. Balling'ton Bootb, the
charming evangelist is another. Journalists
with bustles on New York is full of them; one
single journal in tbat city bas six women on its
regular staff, some of tbem young and pretty
women, too. Among bankers and 'brokers.
Wall street men. stock speculators ana railroad
manipulators, Mrs. Hetty Green makes and
keeps- ber millions, and vields to no man in
shrewdness orboldness.-
Travelers men call It "gadding" when women
do it there bave always been amone the fair
sex, famous ones. too. ever since the Queen of
Sheba's time down to Lady Mary Wortley Mon
tague, Lady Florence DlxeTi Lady Baker and a
dozen others whose names will readily occur.
Ship captains In petticoats bave never navi
gated tbe Atlantic as a business, so far as Is
recorded; but skippers in skirts are not un
known on Lake Erie or on the Mississippi. In
St. Louis a ysar or two ago a license was regu
larly issued by tbe United States Supervising
Inspectors of Steamboats to Captain Mary
Ryan. As merchants, in a small way, women
all over the world sell nearly everything that
men do; for large wholesale and other busi
ness enterprises reauiring long looks ahead the
other sex seem to have not yet developed a
marked fitness.
All Sorts of Odd Occupations.
Women in disgulso as men have profitably
pursued the profession of arms; in trousers they
have also mined for gold in the Sierras, braked
freight trains over the Rockies, driven street
cars, dug in tho streets, gone diamond hunting
in South Africa, shipped before the mast and
proven in rare instances "as good as any other
man."
No woman in tbe guise and garb of her lex;
says a New York Herald writer, has yet ap
peared on the front platform of a street car.the
top of a freight train; nor has she as yet served
as a policeman, or a coachman, or a groom..
Blacksmltbing women often do In "tbe Black
Country" of England; carpentering: they have
been known to do In one or two Now England
towns where the preponderance of their sex
had grown painfully large; bootblacking only
one or two girls have tried though with suc
cess. .Horse thieving Is a new. trade for women.
Pretty Etta Robinson has been maklne a busi
ness of it all the fall in West Virginia. Down
in No Man's Land it may be Some Woman's
some day where horse stealing is an honorable
and lucrative profession; .Etta, and any young
woman who feels like riding along her trail,
may no doubt amass a fortune, besides getting
vue uwujtuu, ix wn more.
Reudlnc for Other Folks.
There are some very odd and many very in
teresting ways in which women make their liv
ing now, ways they have in many cases found
out for themselves and along which no men
keep tbem company. Every few months some
bright creature whose pocketbook is emptier
than her heart carves out for herself and her
sisters a new avenue to honorable mainte
nance. "Emerson" Jones Is a young New Yorker
who brought from Vassar to New York a
nickname, sound judgment and a good educa
tion. Miss "Emerson" has originated a pro
fession. She regularly reads the newspapers,
weeklies, magazines and new books, and for a
consideration instils tbe pith of them into the
vapid mind or fashion wildered head of your
spoiled darlfnes of society, who want "to talk
well to their friends and to be thought smart
and progressive, but who have neither the time
nor the inclination to read or think for them
selves. VEmerson" that Is, Miss "Emerson,"
who, it is said, was called after Ralph Waldo
to distinguish her from the other Jones, of
Vassar, fills the void 'the world could never
fill" it In these brain pans. She tells Mrs. Vera
de Vere she must comment when she gets a
chance on Professor Slashlngton Hobbs'
brilliant disquisition in the Century just out on
thefolliculated toes of tbe anser scarabaens.
Mrs. Vere de Vere pays "Emerson" or. Miss
njnerson" , say a. week, ana talks .about
the anser scarabaens in an anserine, but effu
sive way. She Is conscious all the time tbat
sue doesn't know a follicle from a microbe, and
she is glad of ltt There's a new trade for
women.
Lady Guides and Accountants. v
Women in New York will undoubtedly find a
new calling before long as "lady guides."
Thai's what they call themselves in London,
where the "Lady Guide Association" very re
cently published statistics showing that it was
established and on a prosperous basis. There
are no professional guides for whose services
Btrangers in New York now call except the
hotel detectives who show guests from tbe
country the Sixth avenue and West Third
street dives after midnight Women conldn't
do that, of course, but when tbe World's Fair
comes with its millions of strangers, who will
want to go everywhere and see everything In a
limited time, women can be guides in- New
York and guides to the fair, and in all proba
bility they will be. Tbey might just as well can
thpmAAlvAS "tmHa vnmrm " hnwnvpp aa 'InAv
themselves "guide women."however, as "lady
guides," and in fact a great deal better. Seeing
tne signts oi tne town witn a nngnt-eyeo, rosy
cheeked guide woman to point them ont would
at pnee become an attractive diversion even for
your veteran New Yorker who fancies he
knows every cobble stone on Broadway.
English women seem to have good beads at
thinking ont new callings for themselves. A
smart English girl bas just launched herself on
tbe sea of London life as a household auditor
and accountant: families whose grocers' and
butchers' bills are very large and who don't
want a housekeeper about all the time call In
tbe bonsebold accountant once a month' to
verify the balances of tbe butler's and bead
cook's accounts; she does so and gets well paid
for it. Whr shouldn't there bo household
accountants in New York, and why shouldn't
they be women?
L.
Women Us tUllilnry Lenders.
There is still room for a great woman general,
in tbis country. Semlramis and Joan of Arc
and'Bodicea and Elizabeth had the' spirit of
war and the strength to feed it, but where is
tbe great general In petticoats since Elizabeth's
day 1 Are women never to draw SJ3 a month as
Uncle Sam's soldiers? Cooks and nurse girls
might jnst as well be enlisted as the hostlers
and gardeners with which the rank and file ore
kept filled by tbe able recruiting officers.
Tbe wife of General John B. Gordon, woo.
since the war, bas been Governor of and United
States Senator from Georgia, was the Insepar
able companion of all his army campaigns, and
fierce ones they were. She had the soldier's
soul; she lived In camp, slept often on the
bare ground, ate ha'dtack and salt pork and
rode on tbe march by berhnsband'sside. There
was a woman who might have been a general.
She was a captain, by brevet, for "the boys"
always called her "Captain Sally!"
TOUGH TIPP00 TIB.
How His Filibosterlnc Business Proved a
Bis; Success.
Ifrom the Hew Tork Herald.
Tippoo Tib's methods of earning an honest
living are certainly unique, if not original.
Old "Tip," as be is called,was a man of no par
ticular renown until Stanley took him along on
bis first expedition. Tip was useful to Stanley,
inbiringtba men and acting as interpreter.
Tip, it would seem, though, had other 'fish to
fry. It occurred to him that with a band of
Arabs and well-armed natives he would go on a
filibustering expedition and levy tribute on the
surrounding tribes. As is well known. Tip's
business in this respect has been eminently suc
cessful. Tip Is now one of the nobility, when he is
there, of tbe Court of Zanzibar. Most of his
stealings' and thn results of bis marauding ex
peditions go to Zanzibar, and this fact Is both
known and appreciated by tbe Sultan, who
gives Tip his countenance. Tip has virions
ways of exacting tribute. Sometimes bo will
surprise a village, and , his men with repeating
rifles will fire into tbe defenseless blacks until
the latter throw down their spears, and sur
render. Then such of tbe survivors as he can lay hold
ot together with a number of women, be car
ries off, holding themprisoners until the. Test
of the tribe buy their release with ivory or
skins. AJtrong, healthy native Tip regards as
worth 'at least one elephant task. When tip
strikes a poor country where the natives possess
nothing of value the captives are taken to
neighboring tribes and 'sold as slaves: or, as
often happens, are bought by cannibals, who
eat tbem. Tip has supplied Stanley with many
men.- Tip can always ' secure men when ha
wants them.

The police were a good while discovering the
cave and found it only by shadowing one of
tho boys, whom tbey suspected of petty
burglary. The boys wanted to be bold brigands
and bave a good time, so they organized a
gang and mads their headquarters in, tbe c?ve
last summer. Since then they have stolen any
amount ot crackers, cheese, knives, powder
and shot from the stores la the neighborhood.
Tbe Interior of tbe cave was fantastically
adorned with used-up goat skins, bright bits of

John Barry, a victim ot excessive cigarette
smoking, bas just been sent by his family to
tbe insane pavilion of Bellevue Hospltat
Barry is 25 years old and the son of Officer
Barry, of the Leonard street police station. Ha
began smoking cigarettes at tne age of 15.
Two years later his wealth began to depreciate,
but he could not be pursuaded to give up smok

Mrs. Barry noticed that be was acting rather
queerly iand asked him what was the matter.
"Hush," he said, "God is speaking to me and I
