F1TT8BUBG. SATUBDAY. NOV. 16, 1SS9. THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE PABKS. The formal acceptance of Schenley Park by the City Councils, yesterday, was marked with practical unanimity; while the dis cussion on the acceptance of the option to purchase 100 acres more, may appear to have disclosed a discordant element, but does not really detract from the appreciation shown of this splendid acquisition tor the public. It is true, and The Dispatch has always maintained, that the city must have smaller narks at points more accessible to the dwellers down town than Schenley Park will be. But tbe enrichment of the city by this magnificent gift will facilitate and not delay the establishment of these nearer breathing spots. A moderate appropriation for the improvement of Schenley Park and for the purchase and improvement ol hill top parks closer to the thickly built parts ot the city, will supply Pittsburg with a system of parks which will put her at the head instead ot the bottom of the lilt in this respect. In the line of parks and Exposition build ings, Pittsburg's supply is secured. Then if the same success is attained in giving ns a library, art gallery and music hall, our city can.chailenge comparison with any in the land, for the esthetic as well as the material features of municipal life. A COLLAPSED BRITISH BOOK The dispatch from Glasgow, which reports that the boom in the pig-iron market there has undergone a reaction, is of interest to this country, not for any direct effect it is likely to have on our market, but for its evi dence on the danger of booms. Tbe fact that a boom has collapsed in England does not indicate that a similar backset is to take place in the iron trade here. The boom in England went so far beyond the rise in this country that iron was sold from the United States to be shipped to England. Of course such a reversal of the usual order of things could not last long, and the English market has tumbled, while the American trade rests on the firm basis of actual demand. Per haps a very useful inference may be drawn to the effect that the speculation in iron war rants, which is a feature of the English trade and which some people are trying to introduce here had much to do with the excessive advance there and the very prompt reaction. IT MAY BE A COHPBOMJSE. Yesterday's gossip about town produced a report that the Pennsylvania Bailroad is preparing for the purchase of property at the corner of Smitbfield street and Fifth avenue, where it is planned to erect a pas senger station and ticket office. Tbe story is an interesting one, and connected with other reports of attempts of the Pennsyl vania Bailroad to get further down town with its local passenger traffic will attract much attention, denials notwithstanding. The first objection to accepting the report with implicit faith, is the very large cost of pnrchasi eg the property and reaching it with elevated railroad tracks. For a depot equal to the Pennsylvania Railroad's needs, not only tbe two buildings mentioned wonld be needed, but nearly the whole square from Fifth to Sixth avenues. Even to make a local station at the point named, and to pay damages for reaching it with elevated tracks wonld probably cost nearly as much as to construct a cable road from the same point to the East End. Of course, if it is made one of the Penn sylvania Bailroad dispensations to orna ment the corner of Fifth avenue and Smitb field street with a new passenger station, Pittsburg will probably accede to the pro ject with good grace. But in view of the cost of the undertaking, Pittsburg will probably be satisfied to compromise with a business block on the site named and a nice passenger station at Seventh avenue. PETTINESS OK BOTH SIDES. As the echoes of that dispute over the gale of liquor in Vice President Morton's hotel at Washington are still ringing, it is permissible to say that a good deal of th: small-gange kind of politics has been mani fested on both sides, in connection with this matter. In tbe first place, the fact that a hotel has in connection with its restaurant' a regular proruionor the sale of wines and liquors is not so unusual a thing that tbe whole opposi tion need go into a fit over it. The total abstinence people may be expected to ob ject to it; although why they should con sider themselves more entitled to criticise Mr. Morton for this than other representa tives of wealth and power, who do the same thing, is not clear. But for the whole pha lanx of Democrats, who wonld not stop at any hotel that did not have unlimited facili ties for imbibing, it is not less petty for its shallow insincerity. At the same time, the Bepublican at tempt to deny that the Vice President had a saloon in his hotel was equally small sited and insincere. The story was de clared to be a fabrication; simply relying on the unexplained difference between a saloon and a buffet The ability ot the other side to show the fact with reference to the sale of liquors made this sort of denial more dangerous in the recoil than in the dis charge. "When sincerity and frankness are ruling qualities in politics, it wiil be recognized on both sides that if nothing worse happens under an administration than the Shore ham's license, it will be a remarkable ad ministration. BRAZIL'S BUMOBED BEVOLTTIOIT. The reports which come from Bio de Janeiro"" of a revolution in Brazil to over throw the empire of Dom Pedro and to es tablish a republic is about as unexpected a piece of news as could be imagined. If any one of the South American governments was supposed to be firmly founded in the affections of its subjects, it was the liberal and constitutional government of that peri patetic old monarch. The cause for such a revolution is the more difficult to comprehend, since it was recently announced on his behalf that when the Brazilian people wished a republic he would abdicate. Possibly there may have been a difference ofopinion as to what indi cated the will of the people in the matter. But even that hardly seems to be sufficient cause for a revolution. It may be well to await complete details before making up onr minds either as to the accuracy of the report or that it is based on higher motives than a revolt of some plant ers discontented over the recent emancipa tion. THE IMP0ETATI0K PBOSECUHOHS. The announcement from "Washington that District Attorney Lyon has instructions to proceed with suits against all the parties en gaged in the importation of foreign glass blowers, promises that the full evidence in the matter will in due time be spread before the public. Of course, when the investigating officials reported that there had been a violation of the law, this was the only course to take. It would not do to nullify the law or to make fish of one party or fowl of another. All violators must be prosecuted alike; and it tbe enforcement of the law works hard ship, those who enacted such law must be held responsible for the injustice, instead of those who enforce it. In that respect, unless the facts brought out by the trial are different from those now in the public knowledge, the prosecution of business men and labor leaders for bringing over laborerswho, by the opinion of the labor organization interested, are needed in this country, will present one of the most re markable examples of hasty and ill-considered legislation known in this country for a long time. "With the salient fact that the one organization which most unqualifiedly accepts the responsibility for the bringing over of these workmen is the American organ ization of window glass blowers, the opera tion of a law which prosecutes these cases and lets in thousands of Italians, Poles and Huns every year without prosecution is pnt in the most invidious light. Tne law must be enforced; but when the law is shown to interfere with the operation of legitimate and needed industry, the duty of changing it will need no argument. FBEE FOOT BRIDGES. The idiosyncrasies which are developed in connection with the bridge question, are hightened by the statement that the new bridge to be erected for the Pittsburg and Allegheny cable line is to have a tree foot way. This when realized will produce the anomaly of a free foot-bridge between the two cities, while on the bridges within the city of Pittsburg every passenger must pay toll. The resolutions introduced in Councils of Pittsburg for correcting the hardship to the working classes of having to pay toll for walking from one part of the city to an other, were presented at an exceedingly un timely juncture, bnt have a good deal of foundation in justice. It certainly ought to be possible after all the franchises that have been granted in this connection, to secure for those who wish it the inexpensive priv ilege oi walking without charge. To make all the Monongahela bridges free for ve hicles as well as pedestrians may be difficult, and will certainly be a costlyand protracted undertaking. But pending that work it should be practicable to secure for foot pas sengers an exemption from the bi-daily tax now levied on every one whose work takes him to and from the Southside. In the era ot municipal improvement it is unquestionably well to give prominence to the relief' of burdens like these on the com mon people. AH INSTRUCTIVE CHARGE. Tbe charge of Judge White in the alder manic conspiracy cases states the law with regard to the duty of Aldermen in a way that leaves little doubt as to the duty of those officials, and yet with which many of their acts cannot well be reconciled. The whole business of taking informations upon slight inquiry, of allowing prosecutions to be "settled," and conniving at or permitting prosecutions for that purpose, is shown to be illegal and criminal. These principles should appear plainly enough to any impartial person. Yet there is almost gronnd for a charitable doubt whether some of these exponents of the law actually know what tbeir duties require of them in an impartial land upright adminis tration of justice. The plea made on behalf of. one of the defendants in this case, that he did these things supposing them to be all right because "everybody did them," car ries with it one of the most crushing com mentaries on the lower magistracy that can be imagined. It is to be hoped that these cases will work a,decidedreformation in the Aldermen's courts. Mb. John L. Sullivan has fixed his price for fighting McCaffrey at $20,000. As this is a raise of 10,000 in a week it is possible that the Hon. Jobn L. bas concluded that It is best for him to serve out bis long sentence for prize fighting, before incurring a new one. Tbe diffi culty of serving two sentences at once would be likely to puzzle even greater Intellects than that of the champion slugger The disclosures afs to tbe Cotton Seed Oil and Sngar Trusts present a gratifying example of the squeezers sqtieesed.

T'tS,. 4-. v our esteemed cotempo-; THE PITTSBT3BG- rary, the Philadelphia .Record to get things exactly right where partisanship is concerned, is shown by its editorial attack upon an alleged Bepublican scheme to repeal the duties ori raw sugars "while leaving undisturbed the duties on the refined products. The Bepublican prop osition at present is to repeal all the sugar duties, which, whatever Its effect on the inde pendent interests would, most assuredly knock the trust endwise. It wan the Mills bill which fixed up the sugar duties so as to leave tbe trust a very liberal margin between duties on raw and refined sugars. The loss of an eye and the fracture of a jaw at a football rnafeh between teams from Western colleges indicates that the wild and untutored West, is resolved to rival the highest culture of the scholastic East The miners' strike is announced to com mence on Monday and tho operators declate that they will not concede the advance re quested. Therefore thatindastry is to be placed in the position of practically declaring that the wages qnestion cannot be settled without the losses of a strike at the beginning of the winter season. Iz is well to bear in mind that it is two years and a half before the Presidental nom inations will be made. A spirants with booms will be wise to keep them in out of the cold until that time. AND now Chicago's ambition rises to the height of transferring tbe national capital to its limits. There is undoubtedly plenty of room for tbe capital within Chicago's city lines. Nevertheless, the principal value of the move ment is in its gratification of Chicago's per sistent tasto for rubbing it in on St. Louis. Is IT not pertinent to suggest to our rail roads that morn money can lie made by carry ing the freight they have, than by putting up tbe charges on the freight they don't carry. The spectacle of the enforcement of the law against the importation of labor, in a case where the strongest backers of tbe imported laborers are the labor organizations in the in dustry employing them, is one of the most unique results of that most remarkable legis lation. The attempt of tbe financiers to devise a dollar which shall be good in all countries will only succeed by putting exactly a dollar's worth of precious metal in each coin. The report that John W. Keeley has in vented a successful dynamite gun which works well with compressed air, conveys the impres sion that when Keeley discards his especial dis covery of ethenc vapor, the public may have some use for him. The European hop crop being one-third larger than last year, the hop consuming inter est is likely to think no small beer of itself. It is interesting to learn from Ohio that Allen O. Myers' protest against electing a mill ionaire Senator is to be ignored with silent con tempt. A proposition to put brains above boodle finds no sympathy in the Ohio Demo cratic machine. PEOPLE OP PR0MIKENCE. De. Amelia B. Edwabds will be among this winter's lecturers at the University of Pennsylvania. Mb.

Senator Allison, of Iowa, who is a wid ower, will, it is said, be married to Miss Theresa Stonghton early next year. The en gagement was made last summer in sight of the Alaskan glaciers. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, says his daughter is about as skilled in the law as be is. bhe acts as his amanuensis and advises with him when doubtful legal points arise. Such a daughter is a jewel in the parental crown. H. Eemskn WnrrEnonSE, United States Charge d' Affaires at the City of Mexico, and Baron von Zedtwilz, the German Minister, have climbed tbe extinct volcano of Iztacci huati, 18,600 feet high.

Many of the accounts, an inventory of which was filed by tbe administrator of the estate in Washington the other day, are against distinguished public men, and most of them are labeled "desperate or uncollectible." Mama mayo, tbe leading belle of Rich mond, Va., had 100 suitors, and refused 99 of them before accepting General Winfield Scott. He had courted Miss Mayo when be was a young lawyer. After entering the army he con tinned his addresses, and was refused succes sively as Captain Scott and Colonel Scott, and it was only as General Scott, the hero of Lundy's Lane, that he at last won the hand of the much-admired belle. Secretary or State Blaine will give an excursion to Annapolis to-day in honor of the delegates to the Pan-American Congress, and to the International Maritime Conference. Tbe Cabinet, except tbe Postmaster General and the Secretary of War, and a few invited guests will also attend. There will probably be over 150 people on tbe train, which will leave Washington at 10 A. jr., and returning leave Annapolis at 3 p. M. Luncheon will be served at the naval academy. Harry Watkins, the veteran actor, has played with all the great stars that have shone on tbe stago during the last 60 years. He played leading parts with the elder Booth, Mrs. Mowatt, Macready, Forrest, Burton, Hackett, the Flacides, and others of former days whose very names are forgotten. Who now remem bers tbe name of Charles Burke, the original Hip Van Winkle, long before the advent of Joe Jefferson in that exquisite character? Mr. Watkins is nearly 7u years old, but he is as ac tive as many men of 50. Tom Murphy is a once powerful politician who has fallen to rise no more. During the Grant regime he was Collector of the Port of New York, with an annual income of 100,000. He was the prince of good fellows. He spent a fortune In champagne. One hundred dollars a day went for his own personal expenses. Many hungry politicians fattened on bis bounty in those old days. Such was Tom Murphy in bis glory. Not long since he applied for a room in a cheap down-town New York hotel, and was refused admittance because he could not pay for it in advance. A Queer Find Upon Broadway. New York, November 16. Workmen em ployed on the subway yesterday afternoon dug up a number of human bones in front of Nos. 294, 296 and 293 Broadway. Years ago tbe Duane Street M. E. Church and its cemetery were located here. It is supposed that there ere some vaults where tbe bones were found. They almost crumbled into dust when touched. Policeman Formoos carried the bones to tbe Elizabeth street station, and the Coroner was notified. DEATHS OP A DAY. Andrew Jnckman. Andrew Jackman, the well-knawn livery man of whom mention was made laT The Dispatch yesterday, died early yesterday morning at his residence on fenn avenue. The funeral, which will be In charge of Director James Klannery, 1U take place on Monday morning from St. Paul's Cathedral. The accessed was one of the pioneer members of tbe church and a solemn high mas will be said for the repose or Ms soul. ' Mr. Jackman was born October 29, 1818, In a lit r tie house at the corner of Seventeenth street and1 Penn avenue, where Christ Church now stands He had tittle advantages for an education and at an early age seenred a position as driver of one of tbe old-rashiuned dravs, which was the ponu lar hauling vehicle in those days. In 1848 be 'es tablished a boatstore and livery stable on Irwin street, now known as Seventn street.

The Profit! or Pltisbnrg Theater The Need for a New Theater Sir. Madden's Becovery-A Will Changed by False Teeth. Very few PitUburgers realize what an amount of money the theaters of this city have been making the last two or three seasons. A gentleman who knows well enough the profits of making iron and steel remarked to me con cerning Manager E. D. Wilt's statement that he had cleared J20.000 last year: "ft is impos sible that he could have made such a sum." But I showed that gentleman that it was pos sible fer Mr. Wilt to have made more than that in the Grand Opera House. As to the correct figure of that theater's receipts last season, I have no right to speak. Mr. Wilt says he got 520.000 profits; there we must leave it. If he cot 120.000 In the season of 1888-9, what will he clear in 1889-907 Surely as much again, at tbe least, for this season has been better for theatrical enterprises, and particularly for the opera iouse, tnan last, which was the Presi dental election year, But in Pittsburg there are very few capital ists who know that the theaters or most of them here are veritable gold mines. Mr. Harris has one, the Academy of Music pays handsome dividends, and it can be said authoritatively that the profits of the Bijou Theater last season were in excess of $00,000, and some say over 35,000. That is what makes it so incomprehensible that local capitalists do not seriously undertake the building of a new theater on the ground floor, with all the latest improvements, to open at first-class prices. Once or twice a week someone confidentially whispers the plans for a new theater to sundry newspaper men, but notning is aone. There are enough people and enough money in Pittsburg to support another theater. It would not materially injure the business of the other theaters, either, so long as they were man aged wisely. The story of Lillian Bussell's sudden de parture from the Casino Company in Chicago ought not to surprise anybody. That young woman is getting a great deal more free adver tisement than she deserves. Her conduct in Pittsburg did not make friends for her here, and the hour of ber total eclipse is probably very near at hand. No actress can work to any advantage on the stage If she devotes her time to the antics which usually wind up In the Bussell's case in a sadden elopement. The public tires of an actress who makes a habit of eloping. There are a good many people outside his circle of co-workers in this ofllce and friends in the profession who will be glad to hear that Mr. George A. Mad den is certainly on the high road to health. He has bad a terrible siege of illness and about half a dozen pitched battles with surgeons and physicians have left him thin and weak. But his spirits are as high as ever, and every day his health returns to bim in solid packages. Unless the improbable happens, Mr. Madden will be abroad in Pittsburg newspaperdom early in the coming year. There were days and not so long ago, either when false teeth were not in general use, and in rural districts about this very city there were lots of men and women who had never beard of a set of ivories that conld be re moved from the mouth and reset therein at will. A large fortune, which has largely been branch of a family in this county to another by a little mishap in which a set of false teeth played a leading part. Tbe owner of the money and also an upper set of false teeth was an el derly maiden lady. She had only two relatives in tbe world a nephew and a niece. The latter, who was wedded to a farmer, was her favorite. The nephew was a city man. It happened about SO years ago that this old lady had a set of false teeth placed in her upper jaw. It was a modest set and did not at tract attention, and the old lady was very anxious to keep their presence in her mouth a secret. Soon after she got them she went to visit her niece in the country. One evening as she was sitting before the fire in the parlor she fell asleep, and somehow or other her head fell back, her mouth1 opened widely, and tbe teeth getting loose settled down on her tongu'e. He' niece happened to enter the room at this junc ture, and never having seen false teeth before imagined that some fearful accident had hap pened to tbe old lady. Like a loving, dutiful niece she screamed aloud and all the house bold came running to her assistance. The climax came when the old lady, now wide awake, had to replace the teeth before a large mixed audience. She was awfully angry. Next day she went home and altered her will in her nephew's favor. NELLIE BLI HAS A RIVAL Another Woman Will Race Her Aronnd ibe World for $1,000. New York, November 15. It is an Instance of woman against woman. Jobn Brisbaen Walker, the millionaire proprietor of tbe Cos mopolitan Magdzine, walked into his office yesterday morning with a longer stride and heavier tread than usual, and startled his em ployes by the sharp query: "How quick can a woman go around the world:" Mr. A. D. Wilson, the business manager, said that Nellie Bly, of the World, bad just sailed on the Augusta Victoria and proposed to make the trip in 75 days. Mr. Walker said he had seen the announcement and he felt confident the time could be shortened. He sent Mr. Wil son for tickets and dispatched a messenger for Miss Elizabeth Bisland, a contributor to the magazine. She arrived before the tickets had been purchased, and after a short talk with Mr Walker she agreed to attempt a race withNel lie Bly. but decided to go west instead of east. She asked for a half hour in which to prepare for the journey, and Mr. Walker proceeded witb his arrangements. "Miss Bisland was ready in the specified time." said Mr. Wilson last evening, "but could not leave until 6 o'clock. A large num ber of friends went to the depot with her. She took the Chicago limited and will sail from San i Francisco, on November 21, on the Oceanlca. the same vessel that Nellie lily expects to take on her return. Miss Bisland will reach Yokohama, Japan, on December 11, and will bo in Hong Kong five days later. We have cabled for a Government boat for ber use in making tbe latter trip, and the exnense for this Dart of the journey alone will bo $8,000. It is in this transfer from Yokohama to Hong Kong that we expect to cam time, as .Nellie Bly must wait over at .Hung Kong f our days for the recrnlar boat.' The rest of the journey is comparatively simple for Miss Bisland. She will sail from Hong Kong December 17 by tbe Peninsula and Oriental line, and land at Brandisi, Italy, where she will take tbe steamer for Marseilles, arriv ing on Sunday, January 21, 1S90. If she arrives on time she will sail from Havre on Sunday. If she is a day late she will sail on Monday, Jan uary 22, from Southampton, arriving January 29 Mr. Walker and the proprietor of the World have wagered 51.000 on the result, and the money of tbe loser will go to some charit able institution. Miss Bisland is a French Creole from New Orleans, and is said to be only 22 years-old. Miss Corcoran (Nellie Bly) 13 in tbe neighborhood ot SO.

She Says She Does Not Want HerHusbaad'a Place Through Pity. Lexington, Kt., November 11 Speaking of the application of the widow of the late Colonel Goodloe for the Federal office made vacant by her husband's death, her brother-in-law to-day said to a correspondedent, who visited him at London: "Tbe friends of Mrs. Goodloe expressed a deire that she should succeed to tbe office lately held bv ber husband. In making an application- Bbe did not desire that it should be given her through pity, and she does not desire that she should be given anj thing unfairly and undeservedly won by her hus band." It is learned from theTery best authority that Mrs. Goodloe Is a woman of fine business qualifications, and there is no doubt that if she should be appointed tbe affairs of tbe office would be conducted with the same care and 'accuracy as had been -exercised under Colonel Goodloe'i administration.

NOVEMBER "l6, 1889. FOB A 1HTLE CHINEE. Bazaar of the Children' Ministering Leasrao of fit. Peter's Church. Japanese screens, lanterns and plaques, with draperies in oriental colors and gaily trimmed booths made the lecture room of St. Peter's Episcopal Church very picturesque last even ing. Fifty busy little maidens from 7 to 13 years old flitted hitber and thither fully real izing the great responsibility which retted upon them, for they constituted tbe Childrens' .ministering .League, ana it was their bazaar. One of the most interesting ana most ni irofltable features or tbe evening was the soap bubble table. The pipes used and afterward sold as souvenirs, were handpalnted by Misses Mary Worthrop and Mary Halpin, of the School of Design. The other tables, with tbe exception of one, represented the combined work of tbese little misses, who have met once a year since their organization as a club, and devoted the afternoon to work with tbe needle. Tbe results, as shown by tbe arti cles exhibited and sold, are wonderful. The "little helpers" of the charcn donated one whole table to their sister workers, and It was worthy of tbe benevolent spirit which prompted their generosity. A Erreat deal of credit is due tha officer of this band of lit le philanthropists. Miss Bose Edsall, President; Miss Adda Smith, Vice President, and Miss Ida Gracey, Secretary, as they have officiated as teachers as well as of ficers. Tbeir motto Is "No day without a deed to crown it," and the rule they endeavor to fol low is "Every member of the league must do at least one kind deed a day." Ice cream, cake and coffee were dispensed in admirable manner by a committee of little ones in connection with the sale of their pretty articles. The entire proceeds of the entertainment will be used in caring for a tiny Chinaman. Happy little celestial to have so many and such energetic ministering angels. TO HELP WORKING GIEIiS. Willing Worken of the Baptist Chnrch Give an Entertainment. A new departure in charitable work has been devised by the Ladies' Aid Society of the Fourth Avenue Church. A branch of tho main society, calling themselves tbe Willing Workers, has made arrangements for a series of free entertainments for the working girls of . The first of the series was given last evening in tbe lecture room of the church, for which a thousand tickets had been distributed. The programme was a very interesting one. and was opened with an address by Bev. H. B. Grose, the pastor of tbe church. Various recitations and musical numbers followed, and Master George English rendered Marguerette in a pleasing manner. In distributing the tickets the ladles fonnd all the managers of the different factories and manufactories willing and glad to co-operate with them in interesting and securing the at tendance of the working girls. The next enter tainment will be given December 20. The ladles in charge or this work are Mrs. M. F. Hutcbings, Mrs. John It Lewis, Mrs. Johns ton, of Hazelwood; Mrs. Godfrey and Mrs. Strickler. They were assisted by Mrs. Stubbs and Mrs. Lamen. Kour young ladies acted as ushers. Misses itichardson. Fricbard. Edstrom and McMann. The officers of the Ladies' Aid Society are Mrs. John L. Lewis.President; Mrs. Irwln,Vice President; Mrs. Stoff, Secretary, and Mrs. Stubbs, Treasnrer. It is the intention to give four more of these very enjoyable evenings and to serve a sumptuons repast to tbe girls on the evening that closes the series. The next one will be on the 2Qth of December. . MISS JDCH IS PLEASED To felng at tho. Concert to Aid the Domestlo Training School.

He began by saying: "Some of you have heard father speak. You now hear a chip of the old block, but, before I commence, remember that the part Is never equal to the whole." Young Talmage went on to talk a great deal about. nimseir, nis college classmates whom, by the way, he seemed to consider a pretty bad lot temperance and kleptomania.

Per richon," and a f area, lhe company Is backed by prominent and wealthy members of -the French colony, who propose to buy a theater eventually.
