For the first time in its history Pittshurg this year has a place wherein to hold a right royal Fourth of July celebration. Not a pent-up pretense of a park, such as the grounds held by private owners in Alle gheny nor yet the charming but almost too-ncat-for-use public areas of the sister city, such as on previous festive occasions Pittsburgers treated as their own but a playground of vast and noble proportions, which is decked at this season in attire that will delight the eye of every town dweller. The lour hundred acres of the Schenley Part, in short, carpeted with soft grass, canopied by the bluest of summer skies, and offering rich combinations of hill and dale, woodland and open, as might nnt to shame the veriest expert in landscape gardening, are at the service of Pittsburg for a good time on the coming Fourth. Upon no accession to its assets does the city more deserve congratulation than in re spect to this park. It is an excellent idea that a general gathering shall be had there on the Fourth, so that the people may sur vey the splendid gift at the season when 'it is looking its best. One of the incidents of the day will be the test of the facilities for travel. It is an actual fact that the park is the most centrally situated tract in the city. The projected new electric road, the bridge from the South side, and the cross roads from Lawrence ville, will make it much easier of access to .all parts than it now is; but as the situation stands, the Pittsburg Traction, the Second Avenue Electric and the B. & O can easily take 30,000 people to and fro on the Fourth. The bringing out of the school children for their first airing in that place is also a happy notion. As for the expense of the whole inauguration, the $1,100 or 51,200 needed will, The Dispatch is qnite sure, be sent iii very quickly to City Treasurer Denniston by the people who receive his circulars this morning. GREAT Is GLAK. If any one of Pittsburg's many industries be examined, if its present condition be compared with that, say, of ten years ago, the expansion during the decade will be ' found to have been great beyond the most sanguine expectation. Even Pittsburgers are astonished at what every day is reveal ing of their city's progress. Wonderful stories have been told or cities that have sprung up, like mushrooms in more points than one, in a night; the Great "West has some remarkable monuments of tbis sort, some of them sepulchral. Bnt nothing more extraordinary has been told ot a trade than what The Dispatch prints in another place to day, about the rise of glass manufactures in this end of the State of Pennsylvania. A comparison has been instituted between the statistics of the glass industry for 1880 and those of 1890. Some of the figures may be quoted here, though the article in tolo should be read for a perfect comprehension of the gratifying facts. In the manufacture of flint glassware there are this year in Pennsylvania one hundred and eleven furn aces as against seventy-five in 1880; in win dow glass. 44 furnaces as against 34; In green glass, 33 as against 18; in plate glass 24 furnaces as against none; and in cathedral and other special glasses, two as against none. These are the figures for this State alone, and though ihey are by a great deal the most remarkable, the showing of the glass industry throughout the country is very satisfactory. The estimates for this year do not include the flint glassware furnaces now being constructed at North Jeannette, Butler and Pnnxsutawney; nor the plate glassworks at OharleroL In this region the introduction of natural gas into the industry is largely responsible for these favorable results. Undoubtedly protection has made possible the rapid progress of what is, comparatively speaking, a new industry. To insure the further growth and diversification of the domestic glass manufactories, a tariff measure judiciously planned for their protection and the McKinley bill is especially strong and wise in regard to glass is a national necessity. Yet some Republican Senators are doing their best to deprive the glass trade of the protection it needs. The review of the glass trade is the best argument for protection that a sensible American can ask for. SUMMER PESTILENCES. Cholera has broken out in Spain. Every year almost this announcement is made when hot weather begins. The cholera is brought to Spain usually Irom Africa or Asia Minor, though the filthy condition of most Spanish cities renders tbem liable to the suspicion that they are breeding places for the plague. Last "year the cholera did not appear in epidemic form in Europe, though it did fearful work in Asiatic Tur key and Persia. But in 1885 it seemed likely that the cholera would pay a visit to the United States, so extensive was Us fatal range over Southern Europe. But lor one or two cases immigrants who were promptly quarantined in New York harbor the cholera did not land upon these shores. In fact, since 1866 the disease has never ob tained a good foothold here. The ravages it committed on ils last visit have. induced carelul preventive measures at our ports whenever Europe has given us warning. Surgeon General John B. Hamilton says that all proper precautions will be taken at once tn keep out the plague. The immigrants who come from Spanish or Mediterranean ports will be inspected rigor ously by the health officers in our ports, and the steamers which ply between Cuba and the United States will be quarantined, directly cholera shows itself in the former place, which is an event confidently to be expected as soon as the epidemic breaks out in Spain. PitUbnrg does not stand in any near peril of the cholera, nor as far as can humanly be seen of any other general and fatal sick ness. The discovery of a case of smallpox in this city yesterday, however, shows that it is well to be prepared for any and all emergencies. The city is fairly clean as far as the streets are 'concerned, and the health authorities have been active lately in en forcing the regulations of life that are so necessary in summer time. Their prompt ness in removing the stricken Italian to the pest house yesterday was also commendable. Their vigilance should not be relaxed for a moment, and all good citizens should assist the health officers whenever the opportunity occurs. Perhaps a little extra care should be taken to inspect the portions of the town inhabited, almost exclusively, by natives of Italy and other foreigners notoriously negli gent in hygienic matters. The enforcement of cleanliness is one ol the safeguards that a city cannot dispense with. SILVER UPSETS REED. Here's a state of thingsl Speaker Beed, the mighty, has been pulled down from his lofty seat, and the humble Democratic minority in the House has enjoyed the luxury of metaphorically jumping upon his person. Mr. Eeed is an elastic as well as large man, and we do not suppose that he will remain prone upon the floor as a platform for his danc ing opponents for any length of time. But there can be no question of the humil iation of yesterday. The Speaker's rod of rules which has hitherto awed the minority, if not subdued them, was broken in twain. And the bitterness of it was that Repub lican members of Congress made the defeat of their leader possible. To-day, perhaps, or to-morrow, the absent members of the Republican party will be hur ried up to the front, and some sort of soothing poultice, in what precise shape it is hard to say, will be applied to Mr. Beed's wounds. But nothing can wipe out the fact that the Democrats were able, with the help of a handful of Republicans, apDarently obedient to silver influences, to recall the Senate bill from tbe Coinage Com mittee, whither it had been referred by Speaker Beed rightfully, it would appear, under the rules and to virtually censure Speaker Beed for his action. The significance of the incident in its most important bearings, is that it reveals formidable strength in the ranks of the sup porters of the tree coinage bill. The sup port the Democrats received from the other side of the House must have been induced by friendliness for the Senate's silver meas ure. As Colonel Bayne remarked yester day, there is undoubtedly great danger of the free coinage bill passing tbe House. Pennsylvania's representatives in Congress will not assist, it is comfortable to know, in the perpetration of tbis mistake. Tne action of the Senate seems likely to result in a tactical advantage for the Democrats, and precious little else. President Harrison can hardly avoid vetoing the bill if it passes the House, and with that all prospect of silver legislation this session vanishes. It is mighty amusing politics, but pretty poor business. A NEW CABLE SYSTEM. In a month or two Bermuda will for the first time be brought within talking distance, as it were, of the outside world. The ship containing the cable which is to be laid be tween the "Vexed Bermoothes" and Halifax is on the scene of action and electric con gratulations between the beautiful coral island and the North American continent will be flashing under the sea before the summer is over. The laying of the cable between Halifax and Bermuda is a good thing in itself, though to Americans it is more of a leisure convenience than a commercial necessity. To Great Britain it is a link in tbe chain as suring her military and naval intelligence. There is, however, a likelihood that other cables will be laid centering in Bermuda be fore long. The project is to connect Ber muda with the British West In dies, and so with all the islands, Cuba and the rest in that region. This would give direct communication by cable with a part of the world that is ridiculously remote considering its location near two continents. From tbe West Indies it will be natural enough to extend the cables southward to Brazil, and thus bind together North and South America in a way that cannot but promote the interests ot the United States. The latter part of this pro gramme indeed might well enlist American enterprise and capital. MPH.AT ON THE WATERMELON. Murat Halstead has the reputation of saying very mean things of his political opponents in such a clever way that it is not always easy to distinguish between a compliment and a thrust; but when it comes to discussing the Georgia watermelon ha makes one's mouth water. He concludes a brief dissertation on this luscious Southern product in the following words: "The Georgians say, and it is discouraging, that the very best melons grown in the State are so fragile tbey cannot be transported, and that those who would enjoy the top flowers of this wonderful product of the sun and sand must go where the exquisite spheres glisten among the dewy leaves of the gener ous vines whose marvelous distillment of sweetness is the dainty distinction of a favored land." The watering places must be dull and uneventful nowadays. Up to date but one sea serpent has been reported along the Connecticut coast and it was such a poor specimen that its discoverer was ashamed of it Shakespeare has insinuated that there is nothing in a name. Perhaps not, bat there is trouble likely to grow oat ot one in Chatta nooga, and tbat name no less distinguished than Ben Franklin. A colored man who was so fortunate as to inherit this time-honored cognomen, traded a piece ol town property to one of his friends for an eight-dollar watch and tbe $75 back: taxes. When the purchaser bad made tbe payments and was proceeding to fence up his lot, another Ben Franklin, also a gentleman of color, appeared on the scene and, showing his deed, proceeded to summarily oust the new deluded owner. The chances for the great philosopher's namesake, Ben No. 1, spending tbe summer in enforced seclusion are decidedly flattering.

BAT CITT, next to Detroit, is one of the liveliest cities In Michigan, and not to be be hind the times, some of its citizens have just organized an Anarchist lodge with the Inten tion of raising money to aid in Securing the re lease of the Chicago Anarchists now in prison. As soon as the subscription book was opened a motion to adjourn was carried unanimously. Anarchists are thrifty unless beer is involved. The ice famine is not so Very alarming after all. The competition of artificial Ice plants will keep the gelid commodity from sup nlantlng diamonds for some days to come. The sophomores of the Western Univer sity distinguished themselves last night by de vouring tbe banquet prepared for the fresh men. The latter seem to have shown a guile less n ess not commonly found even in a fresh man, and tbe trick put upon them did not re quire excessive ingenuity on the sophomores' part. As a college boy joke it deserves com mendation for its mildness and strict propriety. POKTUOAL is maintaining a lively boy cott against everything that is English. The little empire can use the b oycott with more effect than she can the bayonet. The news that Pittsburg is to again enter tbe racing Held is bailed with aelight through out tbe country, judging from the favorable criticism in the metropolitan press. There is no good reason why races in Pittsburg should not draw paying audiences if the attractions are first class. Mayob Goueley's Feurth of July proclamation is short, pithy and patriotic It will stir every true American who reads it. Thebe seems just a chance, a very frail one, tbat the unfortunate miners entombed in the Dunbar mines may yet be rescued alive. It will be a miraculous escape from death. We trust that the hopes of the rescuing party are not too sanguine. The time to protest against the free coin ace bill is right now, when the direct represent atives of the people are considering it. The Allegheny Park Commissioners are to be cong ratulated upon allowing the children the freedom of certain portions of the parks on Wednesday and Saturdays. Grassnever grew for a better purpose than to be a carpet for the little ones. The Democrats mean to have all the ma jorities tbey can while the Benate silver bill shines. According to the newspapers, Chicago will have a population of over 1.000,000, while St. Louis Journals believe that 600,000 will be the top figures. Missouri papers seem to for get tbe tact that the enumerators bail from Chicago. A new luxury not the least ground for grumbling at the weather. THE average Pennsylvania murderer is never hanged hastily. To prove this, it is only necessary to mention tbe fact that tbe Board of Pardons have thrice respited a Lan caster murderer, without looking even nearer home. PERSONAL POINTERS. Josefh B.

IBPECIAL TSLEQRAX TO TBB DISrATCH.1 rjUNBAB, Jnne 19. Those who live and work in God's pure air and light have no Idea of what is being undergone at this moment by the' faithful rescuing party in the depths of the Mahoning mines. There is not a word of complaint heard, however, from the men, and tbe only impatience is that shown at the prog ress, all too slow, to tbe busy workers, and how slow then must it be to tbe men waiting on tbe other side, sbonld they be living and conscious. A favored few were allowed to take a trip down tbe Mahoning mine this afternoon, and the strange experience will not soon be forgot ten by those who had nover seen suuch a thing before. Peter Wise, Knight of Labor organizer In this district, took tbe party in charge. He was sent here by the organization to look after the men, and do all ho could to push tbe work on. Just Inside the mouth ot the pit tbe party was called to a stand, and each man asked to give his name and residence to the brawny sentinel at the door. "What for?" was the hurried question. "It's only a record." (quietly). "Ye may never come out agatn." "Is it as bad as that?" "It's worse," (gloomily.) "Everything is worse here now. Nothlug seems to get bettor. You are on a dangerous trip, but it's none of my affair," and tho guard at tbe door stood aslao to allow the party to enter. Just inside the mouth Wise gave a Clenny safety lamp to each, after he bad carefully tested them. The lamp is made with a wire gauze cbimnoy instead of glass. Its merit is that the mine damp may ignite inside tbe screen, but tbe meshes are too fine to allow the flame to extend to tho outer air- .A faint blue flame, tbe men say, can be seen burning Inside tbe lamp when gas is en countered, but unless defective, it remains there. V Tbe Downwnri) Trip. TTITH these slender barriers between them and an awful death the party then began the march downward. To eyes unaccustomed to the darkness the sadden transition blotted oat everything but the faint spark from the lamps. "Step in here," said Wise, "and get your sight. I mean by tbat," he continued, in ex planation, "if you stand in tbis perfectly dark chamber for a few minutes your eyes will get accustomed to the dark and you will bo able to see, not much, hut enough." "Will it bring your sight quicker if you close your eyes?" "Yes. that will help. Now look at that wall over there, and when yon all can see it plainly we will start." tFor full ten minutes the party stared in the direction Wise pointed. At first nothing but inky darkness lay in that diredtion, but little by little there was molded out of the darknesi strange patches of something. These crew more and more defined, and finally the party with eyes round and wide could make out tbe lump patcbes to be coal. Feeling compara tively safer, with eyesight at least, the party again turned downward, while tbe guide told of queer experiences be bad gone through In regard to sight. One story was particularly striking. . One Eye for Daylight, Ono for Night. Tn driving mules down into the deep mines, one eye of tbe animal Is handled for day light purposes, while tbe other is kept for night. This is done by carefully blindfolding the left eye when there is occasion to bring the animal on top of ground, and as a result tho animal goes placidly along, seeing perfectly well underground with one eve and able to take care of itself in daylight with the other. He told also of when be was driving a car down in the Scottdale mines, he bad given to him a mule that tho other men did not seem to man age. Wise drove him for awbile. but noticed the poor animal invariably staggered from side to side in an uncertain way, far different from tbe straight walk of one that had its under ground sight. Wise carefully bandaged the ono eye when daylight was reached, but there was no improvement. The mulo positively could not see in the mine. Tbe driver happened to change the bandage to the other eye once, wben it was found tbat tbe animal could not see at all. He was and always bad been totally blind in ono eye. Thereafter tbe mulo was kept under ground all tbe time, and no further trouble was experienced. V The Air Grows Thinner. 'The party, after getting; its mine sight, started down again. The slope is very steep, being 18 feet in a hundred, and as they went lower and lower tbe current of fresh air grew thinner, though it was not positively bad until tbe very end was reached. Three thousand five hundred feet from tho mouth tbe party came upon a strange scene. Tbe steadily de scending slope suddenly branched to the right and made a silent rise. Several miners were at tbis juncture resting as best they could against the walls and munching at a lunch while wait ing for their turn at tbe pick. Three hundred feet from there, and up to the left, a canvas curtain.practically alr-tight,had been stretched, and bevond this could be beard tbe steady drive of the pick. A little further to the left some 60 feet of canvas had been put up. This was tbe "brattiscbe," to turn all the air possible toward the men working. Each man was allowed to step inside the canvass door for a moment, just one moment, in order to see tbe actual work of rescue. Heaven's "free air" was far too precious here to nave it wasted on any there for cnrlnsitv or sympathy. They wanted musclo and willing bands. ... Can Work Only Ten Minnies. Qnce inside the canvass door the stranger paused, disappointed. Tbero can be no romance, no poetry, no martyr here in tbis dirty hole. The nine-foot entranco has sud denly narrowed to but two or three, and at the end, half crouching, half lying, a single man swings hi' pick against the rocky barrier. The beat is intense, tlie airso tbln as to strangle a stranger, but tbe short, stout miner with the pick is working like a titer, driving his pick ud to the middle at every stroke, and tearing aside coal, wreck and rock as easily as if he were playing with a snowbank. ' "They can stand tbat work ten minutes or maybe a little longer," whispered the guard at tbe door, "tber, even the best of tbem must He down, outside to get back breath and strength." Working Like Mnd Men. 'T'dtkn the door opened again, and tbe visitors stepped respectively to aside, while another man entered and silently took the pick from the worker's bands, then tore at the earth and stones with it like a mad man. So the relief goes on, and so the relief will go on, until tbe men are found. There Is always a ready band to take up tbe work when one weary man lets it fall. A giant mule is driven hastily up tho slope dragging the queer shaped car, and is rapidly driven away again with tbe load, as tbe one thing valuable here is air, and nothing but tbe single worker must stay at the extreme,end for any length of time. The 17 men necessary to remove the rubbish and to relieve at the digging, are silent alL There is no time or inclination to talk, and it is work, and work only, tbat is wanted here.

Several Thousand" Throng tbe Booths at the Episcopal Church Home Festival A Charming Entertainment Wedded Be neath Jane Rotes Other Society New. At least 2,000 people gathered at the Episco pal Church Home yesterday afternoon and evening to attend tbe twenty-thlrd annual fes tival for tbe benefit of tbe Home. The build ing on Penn avenue, opposite the arsenal, was gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and the lawns in front of the building were covered with booths, where lemonade, popcorn, fancy articles and other things wore dispensed to the willing purchasers at premium prices to help along the institution. The Great Western Or chestra discoursed sweet strains from popnlar operas. Tbis was a great treat to the parent less children, who gathered around and lis tened attentively to the music A steam flying horse had been erected, which was well patron ized by tbe young folks, while their elders promenaded about from booth to booth making innumerable Durchasesof every kind o( articles. Inside tbe building a long row of tables was set, on which sapper was served dur ing tbe evening. Nearly everyone bought tickets for supper, and the management ex pects to net a good ronnd sum from the proceeds. In the basement of the building most of the artistic booths were located. These wire presided over by bewitching young ladies, who lured tbe passing throng to pur chase the articles displayed. The articles at these booths were both beautif nl and service able. Long before the hoar for closing all tho goods were disposed of. Tbey consisted ot ar tistic needlework, hand-painted souvenirs. About S o'clock Mrs. Frank BIssell, Presi dent of the institution, summoned all tbe young children of the Home, about 80 in nnmber, to supper on the lawn. Tboy formed a circle about a table and disposed of the viands pro vided for them. Tho late Mr. Shoenberger al ways provided ice cream for the little ones every year, and so that they would not miss tho treat now, Mrs. Shoenberger sent on money from New York to purchase it for tbem. The children made a very pretty appearance in their uniform pjaln dress, as tbey gathered around the festive board and devoured tbe good things with evident relisb. Abont 30 aged ladles are provided for at tbe Home. Ono old lady named Hamilton is cared for here. She is a victim of tho Johnstown flood, in which all her relatives were lost. The lady is about 80 years old, and bad a very pleasant borne in Johnstown, but tbe flood ren dered her destitute and made her dependent on the Home. She recalled graphically tbe inci dents of the flood wbile eating ice cream. The old lady appeared to enjoy the festival with the same ardor as the younger people. The Ministering Children's League of St. Mark's Church bad a booth erected near the Forty-third street entrance, where flowers were sold. This booth was presided over by tbe Misses Ingram. Lonkhart, McCandless and Heel, aided by Misses Julia McBrlde, Daisy Lonkhart, Jane Anders, Elliuor Walker, Mary Lojkbart, Ada Anders and Mary Kessner. About the most elaborate booth of all was the Trinity Church booth, in charge of Mrs. A E. W. Painter. Novelties in art of every description covered the tables of this stand, and were bought up quickly. Mrs. Painter was ably as sisted by Mrs. Darlington, Mrs. G. A. Howe ana Mrs. W. R. Proctor. St. Peter's Church also had a very uniauelineof fancy goods for sale in the basement of tbe Home. Tbis booth was in Charge of Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. McMasters and Mrs. McComb. The other stands were officered as follows: Christ Chnrch Fancy art booth, Mrs. Mc Brule, aided by Miss Oliver and Miss Turner. Trinity Church Floral booth, Mrs. Bessie Howe, Miss Harriet Watson. Calvary Cburcb, East Liberty Mrs. George Taylor, Mrs. George Heard, Mrs. J. Dilwortb. St. Andrew's, Ninth Street Fancy goods booth, Mrs. William Crosby, Mrs. J udgcBredin, Mrs. Harry Campbell. Mn E.

These ladies could not accommodate tbe vast crowd that poured into the tent throughout tbe day. They expect to make the largest return from their sales. The other booths on the lawn were; Trinity Chnrcb, fan table and popcorn booth Miss Mary Robb and Miss McKnlgbt. Calvary Chnrch Lemonade booth, Mrs. J. C. Dllworth and Mrs. G. M. Tavlor.

STATE P0I1TICAI. Congressman Scbanton, of the Eleventh district, will have no walkover. Colonel J. A. Gbkbxjteld will In all probability be the next Treasurer of Venango county. Congressmen of both parties are preparing for tbe November election. The tariff will be tbe leading issue in these elections. It is said that the new postmasters for Titus vllle, Cory and Meadville, recommended by Congressman Culbertson, will be appointed in a day or two. Ex-Congressman Scott has been nomi nated, bnt as yet has not given an answer. How the fur and money will fly in the Erie Crawford district lf be finally concludes to make the race. All tbe candidates elected to the lower House of the Legislature of Pennsylvania In the election of November will take part in electing a successor to United States Senator Cameron in January of 1891. Politics in Crawford county are about as hot as they can be. The fight for Assembly is going to be a stubDorn one. and the men who capture the plums will have to get up early in the morning and keep picking all day. THE judicial district composed of Forest and Warren is in a mix. Both counties have named a person for the judgeship, and they each con trol 15 votes. Neither will give way, and a lone, stubborn fight will be the result. Large delegations are making preparations to attend the State Convention next week. Pittsburg will send a tremendous one, and the delegates will exert a strong influence in be half of the nomination of Major JZ. A. Mou tootb. Pattison and Wallace are neck and neck, with Mr. Hensel a very dangerous dark horse, and it is not dollars to cents that he Is not the nominee of the Democracy. If he should cap ture the nomination, Pennsylvania would in dulge in an old-fashioned campaign. Ex-Senatob Wallace dropped in at his Clearfield home on Saturday evening, and will remain for a few days. He is sanguine of being nominated for Governor at Scranton and elected in November. He is in as complete training for a fight as ever Sullivan was, and will press his opponent to tbe ropes. Clearfield Hepubltcan. DEATHS OF A DAY. William Briahnm Wesson. Detroit. Mica., June l9.-Hon.

Beaveb Falls, June 18. If each quart, pint or half pint Is imported separately as originally put up by the manu facturer, some lawyers and Judges hold tbat under tbe Supreme Court decision they can be sold by the importer. An Iowa Judge has de cided tbat, though beer be shipped in cases, a bottle of It. if sealed, is an original package. He further holds tbat a man. to sell original packages, must have them sent to him from outside tbe State, and not get tbem from another person Inside the State. "Original package" men will have to take their chances and be prepared to defend their position in liti gation tbat may be quite extended as well as expensive. Tbe wisest course is to obey State laws until limits of national jurisdiction are clearly defined.! A Plea for tbe Boys. To the Editor of The Dispatch: It is notngbt to keep the boys out of the water unless the city provides free bath houses for tbem. Boys come home in the evening tired, hot and dirty. Tbe river Is their natural resort and the only relief for the majority of tbem. After sundown no one need take of fense at them, and they have a right to cool and cleanse themselves. It would bo a boom for tbe Natatonum and tbe pay bath house as well aa a boon to anxious mothers to keep them out. But the future cases of drowning from Inability to swim and tbe mortality caused by heat and dirt would be undoubtedly increased. I say free baths for tbe boys. AN xz-BOT. PrrrSBirBo, June 18.
