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

exactly right where partisanship is concerned,
is shown by its editorial attack upon an alleged
Bepublican scheme to repeal the duties ori raw

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

AND now Chicago's ambition rises to the
height of transferring tbe national capital to

The spectacle of the enforcement of the

of whom mention was made laT The Dispatch

residence on fenn avenue. The funeral, which
will be In charge of Director James Klannery,

pioneer members of tbe church and a solemn high

THE TOPICAL TALKEB.
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

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.

Talmag-e'a Son Lecture a Little.
rjTIW TORS BUB1AU 8FXCIAL8.1
NewYobk, November 15. A slender, rosy,
cheeked, light mustached young man In a
puce-colored suit delivered tbe weekly lecture
before the students of Packard's Business
College this morning. Ha was Frank De Witt
Talmage, 21 years old, student in tbe Univer
sity of New York and son of the great Brook
lyn divine. His subject was "First Impres
sions." as .rapa Tannage is away off among
the Egyptian pyramids, it waa suggested that
young Talmage might Intend to give his "first
impressions" of a night key; but be did not.
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. He also men
tioned the Greeks and Romans, and Voltaire
and George Washington. Throughout his
speech he waved his hands over bis head and
pounded bis hips just as his father does.
Young Talmage is studying for the ministry.
Charged by HIa Father With Forgery.
David Campbell, son of a Montreal tailor.
was arrested here to-day at tbe instance of his
father. The charge against him is forgery.
He was' in business in Montreal with his
father several years, during which he misap
pronriated 16,000. His mode of obtaining tbe
money was to get bills at SO, 60 and 90 days
irom customers, duplicate them, and nave
them discounted.
Smothered In the Mod of a Ditch.
Mrs. Nodine, of Hoboken. sent her 5-year-old
child out yesterday to buy a newspaper.
He did not return. His parents banted for
him all afternoon and evening without success.
To-day his dead body was fonnd in a ditch threa
feet deep about half a block from his home.
He bad fallen Into the ditch, apparently, while
trying to jump It, and had been smothered by
the mud at the bottom.
One More Attempt to ba Made.
Tbe French societies here have at last gotten
together a French theatrical company, which
will soon produce French plays before French
New Yorkers, just as Amberg's company does
German pieces for German New Yorkers. The
title of the new company is the Theater Franco
American. The first performance will be given
In Clarendon Hall, December 18. and will consist
of the four-act comedy, "Le Voyage de M. 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. A dozen unsuccessful attempts
have been made in the last 20 years to establish
a French theater in the city, but none of them
started with such a boom and as strong finan
cial backing as the present one.
At Frnocla Would Like It.
Governor David B. Francis, ot Missouri, is
visiting in New York. It is confidently alleged
In political circles that his mission is to
fraterniza with Grover Cleveland. Calvin

a doubt. "While Mayor of St. Louis, it will bs
remembered, be was a great social success, and
It was he who persuaded Mr. Cleveland, while
President, to vi-it that city, entertaining bim
royally at bis own home while there. He
wants the 1893 ticket to read "Cleveland and
Francis."
