twijm' TfA'F VTC THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATTJBDAT, NOVEMBER 22, 1890. 12 wftm7?W TTT -: i ft . THE CRITIC'S REVIEW A Choice Bit of Clever Yerso From a Volume Pull of It. WARD M'ALLISTEU'S PRODUCTION Any Quantity of Eecent Literature in the Taper Covers. WORKS OF AX I1IST0UICAL INTEREST To begin with, this clever bit of Terse, en titled. "A Little Brother of the Rich," be ing; the name-piece of a little volume ot equally clever verses, written by li S. Mar tin, published by Scribner's, pirated in England anc sold there to the number of 12,000 copies. To out new shingles on old roofs; To Rive old women wadded skirts; To treat premonitory coughs With seasonable flannel shirts: lo soothe the stings of poverty And keep tbe jackal from the door Tiicse are the works that occupy Tbe Little Sister of the Poor. She carries, everywhere Bhe rocs. Kind words and chickens, jam and coals; Poultices lor corporeal woes. And sjmpathv for downcast souls; Her currant jelly her quinine. The lips of fever CiOve to bless. She makes the humble sick-room shine With unaccustomed tidiness. A heart of hers the instaut twin And vivid counterpart is mine; I alo serve my fellow men, 1 hough in a somewhat different line. The poor, ard their concerns, she has Monopolized, because at which It falls to me to labor as A Little Brother of the Rich. For their sake at no sacrifice Does my devoted snirit quail. 1 give their horses exercise; As ballast on their yachts I sail. Upon their tally-ho's I ride And brave the chances of a storm; I even use my own inside To keep their w mes and victuals warm. Those whom we strive to benefit Dear to our hearts soon grow to be; I love my Rich, and I admit That they are ery good to me. Succor the Poor, my sister, I While heaven shall still vouchsafe me health Will strive to th&re and mollify The trials of abounding w calth. These are no doubt the boncst sentiments ot Mr. Ward McAllister. Mr. McAllister is, indeed, a very Bic Brother of the Rich. It is hard to see how so'me 400 or so of these un fortunate people could get along without him. This impression is heightened and emphasized by a reading of "Society as I Have Found It" (Cassell Publishing Co.; J. E. Weldin & Co.) In spile of the rather ill-natured jests and jibes of Life, whose editors seem for the mo ment to have abandoned theirgood manners, and in spite of the pictured and colored quips and quirks of Puck, Mr. "Ward Mc Allister has written an entertaining book. It is not a contribution to litera ture, that is very true. But it aninses, it diverts, it instructs. And so it has its plaec. Must all writers dis course upon the profundities of Aristotelian philosophy? or tormulate pages of mathe matics? Do we not all of us eat and drink as well as think? And spend more atten tion upon our eating and drinking than upon our thinking, some of us: will any body deny it? Why, they say now that even Aristotle himself wrote a book of good advice about how to behave at the table. And we ail know that even the literary so cieties always wind up their feast ot reason with another kind of feast, more substantial and (to most of the members) more enjoy able. Mr. McAllister knows more about the fine art of giving a Cotillion Dinner than any other mau on all this wild Western continent By all means let him discourse upon his pleasing specialty. Let him de scribe the wonderful banquets at which he lias been host or guest; how was the table set? in what form were the invitations made out? who came and who stayed away? and what had they to eat? and what said they between the courses? This is what we de liirht to talk about and to hear abont We always read the paragraphs in the news papers whicn tell such history as this. Why not put it between handsome covers, and stamp the crest oi the McAllister family on the blue binding? And yet how funny it is ! "Chapter I : My Family My Mother an Augel of Beauty and Charitv My Father's Noble ness of Character My Brother the Law yer." And the visit to Windsor Castle 1 Here is another verification or that profound saying, "as we are we see." This is what Mr. McAllister sees: "I saw the old, tall doorkeeper, with his long staff, sitting at the door ot the servants' hall. I saw Her Majesty's kitchen and the roasts for all living in the castle at least twenty separate pieces turn ing on a snit. Then "I examined a large, hot, steel table on which any cooked article being placed would tav hot as long as it remained there. " I have seen Her Majestt 's table at Windsor Castle all ready for her. I have heard her footman in green and gold, re-echo Irom hall to kitchen the note that "dinner is served," and then I was told to go." Mr. McAllister was too modest. He should have told Mrs. Victoria who he was. Then when the lion-aud-unicorn covers m frosted gold were lifted from the entree dishes, and the toothsome contents di'-elo'ed themselves to sight and tate, an American citizen (a matter of con- c rn :n" i pride to all ot us) might have been there to see. lr. MiAllister is uo doubt acquainted with thi dainty cook-book almost too pret li'y bound for a cook-book which lies upon the Critic's table significantly close to liis culinarv autobiography. He could make a column and a halt ot profitable comment upon it The Critic, however, is not "up" in this sort ol thing. To him it is as great a mjstery as it was to the inquisitive king how the apple gets inside the dumpling; and it he were lett, like another and wiser king, to watch the cakes, the cakes would surely burn. And so all that he can say is that the name of the book is "New England Breakfast Breads. Luncheon and Tea Bis cuits;" that Lee & Sbenard publish it and J. R. Weldin & Co. sell it for 51; that it contains an attractive picture ot a big Mas sachusetts kitchen, and that Lucia Gray Srett, the writer, affirms that most ot the recines have been used iu a New England family lor 50 years. IL In paper covers. Three translations of foreign works, published by Worthington: "A Russian Country House," by Carl Ditle:; "Asbein," a musical novel, by Ossip Schubin; "A Sister's Love," by W. Heim berg. The illustrations are considerably better than in preceding issues iu the series. And two American books, published by Lee & Shepard, both of them reprints of novels which were first published as long ago as the war times: "Cudjo's Care," by J. T. Trowbridge, and "In Trust," by Amanda M. Douglas. These are included i'n a "Good Company Series," and are worthy of the name. "A Beys' Uistorv of the United States," published by Worthington, and written by Annie Cole Cody, begins with the mound builders and ends with Benjamin Harrison. There are plenty oi pictures, and the chapters are written in a simple and in teresting style. "Vive la Americal" the Eentiment with which the history ends, is rather queer French, but there is nothing the matter with the spirit of it. And that is better than all the pretty regulations of orthography. IIL We get a long way back in our national history when we reach the time at which America's place in the world was much like Africa's place now. At that time this broad continent belonged to nobody in par ticular the Indians counting lor no more than the Congo savages and accordingly England and Spain and France were each claiming to own the whole of it, and coming to frequent blows in defense of their wide claims. And they partitioned off these boundless miles of trackless forests as Eng land and Germany and Portugal are divid ing Africa. It was at this interesting time, in the middle of the eighteenth century, that Mr. James Edward Oglethrope, gentle man, soldier, scholar and Member of Parlia ment, became interested in the misfortunes of that aggrieved class of men with whom most of us may be in sympathy, the debtors. And it occurred to this philanthropist that a good buffer to put between Spain, which was claiming everything on the southern coast of this country, and England, which was making equal claims along the northern coast, would be a colony of these poor fellows who had nothing to claim at all. So he took 700 liberated debtors and brought them over here, and set them down in Georgia. There they had good fortunes and evil ones. The Governor leader spent a large measure of his private fortune in the uplifting and bettering of tbe colony of debtors, and all the debtors hated him cordially. That is the way of the world. Finally Mr. Oglethrope went back and left Georgia to its own desires; the colony was taken under the Eoyal Govern ment, introduced slavery, went against the founder's advice in most ways itcould think of, and became prosperous. Henry Bruce is the author of this interesting, careful and graphic narrative, with which Dodd, Mead & Co. begin their new and promising series of biographies of "The Makers of America." A second volume in this same valuable series is the story of the founders ol Mary land, George and Cecilius Calvert, Lords Baltimore. William Hard Browne, the author, has had access to material unknown to previous historians. In the litter and rubbish of an English attic a great bundle oi manuscripts came to light not long ago, and the writings were found to relate to the Calverts. These have been diligently studied, and to good purpose. George Cal vert, a gentleman nigh in favor iu the court of James I., a nobleman and Secretary of State, turns Roman Catholic, resigns his preferments, and follows in the wake of the Protestant Pilgrim Fathers across the At lantic to these free shores. He adventures here and there, having grants of land in this region and that, but never quite satis fied. His son Cecilius settles definitely in Maryland. The story of the settlement, of the voyage of the Ark and Dove, of the re ligious uroblems which arose, and tbe hin dering of the Jesuits, and of tbe effect upon the young colooy of the troubles and changes in the mother country in the days of the first Charles, and of Cromwell all these things are told, and pleasantly told, and not at a wearisome length in tbe pages of this history. IV. On the 4th day of March, 1809, President James Madison was declared and constituted President of the United States. It was noticed that he was very properly attired "in a full suit of cloth of American manufact ure;" that he read hisinaugural address in a tone so low that the ten thousand patriots who came to listen could not hear it; that when it was afterward printed and read it was found to be full of commonplaces and empty of any definite statement of policy, and that at the inauguration ball, which crowned and concluded the glories of tbe day. "the crowd was excessive, the heat op pressive, and tbe entertainment baa. Thus began an administration which included within its term of years the disasters of the War of 1812. Madison had been a capital lieutenant for Jefferson. His forte was to advise, to coun sel, to be the power behind the throne. His place on Olympus was that of Minerva rather than that of Jove. He was a scholarly man, interested iu philosophy and theology as well as in politics, and possessed of a determination sometimes not a for tunate possession to see both sides of every subject At the outset there were partv troubles. There waR great difficulty in making up the cabinet Gallatin, the best man in the country, was kept out of the place which belonged to him, and an in competent ringster was put in. And then came the war, with its brilliant successes on the water, and its dismal fail ures on the land. All this is told, with painstaking care fulness, accuracy and interest, in the fifth and sixth volumes of Prof. Henry Adams' "History of the United States" (Scribners: J. R. Weldin & Co. 51.00), which deal with Madison's first administration. The record is as minute as the report of a cotemporary newspaper, and more accurate. Particularly entertaining is the story of the great battle of Tippecanoe, which was fought first on the hunting ground which gives its name to the combat; and afterwards at much greater length in the newspapers; and has even very recently been exploited in a political campaign. It seems, when the real truth about it is told, that it was a pretty small battle. Tecuniseh described-it as an "unfortunate transactiou that took place between the white people and a few of our young men at our village." And that, it appears, was about all there was ot it There are several excellent and helpful maps in these volumes, and at the end is a fuli index of all the volumes thus far pub lished. Prof. Adams is writing a worthy history of a great nation. That the three volumes yet to come will be as interesting and valuable as these five is the hope and expectation of The Ceitic.

Mrs. Levy and Ilqr Son Jacob Charged With Patting It There. ENOUGH TO KILL, BDT IT DID K0T, And tbe Eight Persons Who Drank It Only Became Tory Sick. THE DAI'S GRIST OP THE JUSTICE MILL Mrs. 'Entice Levy and her son Jacob Levy, were placed on trial before Judge Magee yesterday on nine indictments for felonious assault The offenses .charged consisted of the poisoning of nine persons. Mrs. Levy conducted a second-hand cloth ing store on Penn avenue, and next door to her was the rival establishment of William Smith and Jacob Kablinsky. The latter also kept a boarding house. Between the Lcvys, and the Smiths and the Eablinsky's there was considerable ill feeling, and sev eral suits before Aldermen resulted. Last August the members of the Smith and 2a blinsky families and their boarders were made very ill one morning by drinking some coffee. None of them died, however, and an examination showed the coffee to have been poisoned. Suspicion fell on the Levys and they were arrested. A number of witnesses testified yesterday that Mrs. Levy had threatened to poison the people next door. William Tailor also testified thatvon the night preceding the morning on which the family was poisoned, he caught Mrs. Levy climbing out of the window of Smith's kitchen. She refused to say anything when he asked her what she was doing. Witnesses also testified to different admissions made by Mrs. Levy after the poisoning. Mr. Hand, connected with tbe firm of Hunt & Clapp, testified to having analyzed the coffee. Twenty-nine per cent of a half pint he examined was tartar emetic, and there was ten times as much of the drug as has produced death. The defense denied the charges and claimed that the allegations were the result of spite work. Several persons, it was claimed, had been offered money to testify against the Levys, to seeing things which did not happen. Tbe jury in the case is out TO STAET THEM HT BUSINESS. An Uncle Who Died Before He Could Fulfill a Promise Josephine B. and Mary Ann O'Harran, of New York, yesterday entered suit in the United States Circuit Court against James Commiskey and Edward J. Melley, execu tors of Dennis O'Harran. The plaintiffs are Irish girls and nieces of O'Harran. In 1884, it is stated, O'Harran went to Ireland, and was much impressed by bis nieces. He made arrangemems with them that if they would learn tbe millinery business he would bring them to this country at his expense and set them up in the milliner; business, with 530,000 capital. They, learned the business and were brought to New York by O'Harran in 1887. He placed them with milliners to finish up their education. They did so, but in the meantime O'Har ran died. He had made no provision for them in his will, and his executors refused to carry out the alleged agreement The suit is now brought for 550,000 damages. LAND WASHED AWAY. A Suit for Damages Against a TVell-Known Coal Company. The suit of Thomas B. Pittocs: against T. M. Jenkins & Co., is on trial before Judge Slagle. The case is an action for damages on injury to land owned by Pittock on Nev ille Island. It was claimed that a coal barge of the defendants was washed away and lodged against the shore of the Island. It caused the current of the river to diverge and strike against the bank, washing away a large piece of land. The defendants, it was asserted, neglected to remove the barge when notified and more of the earth was washed away. To-Day Trial List. Criminal Court Commonwealth vs Patrick Tooin, Robert Grav, Chatles Mason, Charles C. Schoeller, W. G. Kennedy. Notes From the Courts. Chabi.es Adamitz yesterday entored suit against Edward Cochran for 5100 damages for injury to a wagon, caused by a collision with Cochran's wagon. In the suit of Martin Coyne against W. A Herron (Sons, A. Harcum and M. Joyce, to recover for poods seized for rent, a verdict was given plaintiff yesterday for M2. In the suit of Sadie A.

Willey and Huckenstein & Co., for damages for injuries received in the wreck of the Willey building in Diamond alley, is still on trial be fore Judge Ewing. . Tub snit of John KoDpitz against John Wellington, for damages for alleged false ar rest, is on trial before Judce Collier. Koppitz was arrested on the charge of having stolen a dog from Wellington, but was discharged. BT an error In reporting the Criminal Court cases on Monday last The Dispatch of Tues day said Henry Strickler was oa trial for fel onious assault and battery. The name should have been Joseph Strickler. One of Pittsburg's prominent citizens is Mr. Henry Strickler. While no one for a moment would imagine that he was meant, still this correction is not out of place. A STRONG COMBINATION. The Results "Which Follow the Exercise of Skill, Experience and Ripe Judgment. Tbe eyes of the public are being Dretty well opened to the tricks ot trade iu general, and of the piano trade in particular; and the ears and eyes of the people can no longer be de ceived as of yore, and they do not "bite" at any (absurdly low weekly payment) schemes. Piano buyers turn with positive relief to a firm whose 60 years of business life in this community attests to its worth and high principles. All feel assured that such a firm cannot and will not place upon the market a piano or organ that will not fully come up to every requirement of the most exacting, and that will not stand tbe test of time in every particular. The stand ard instruments of merit thatiwill stand the test of time and are represented bv such a tried firm are the Hardman, the A B. Chase, the Krakauer and the Vose pianos, and tbe A. B. Chase, the United States and the Chicago Cottage organs, which fill the ex tensive show rooms of Mellor & Hoene, 77 Fifth avenue. Here are instruments of standard excellence, aud backed by a tried firm. In tbe making of these instruments, skill, long experience aud ripe judgment have been embodied. Nothing hurried or im perfect is permitted to leave the factories where these beautifnl and complete instru ments are created. The fact that the above firm handles these makes is even a sufficient guarantee of their excellence, and we can only say to those as yet unconvinced, go to 77 Filth avenue and see and hear for your selves. Extreme beauty of design and form, perfection and quality o ' tone, great est durability and reasonable prices, con tribute to make tbe establishment of Mellor & Hoene a sort of Mecca for piano and organ buyers. Such has been the case, we might add, for nearly two-thirds of a century, and the indications are that it will be the case for fully as long a time yet to come. Cour teous attendants are always ready to aid visitors in becoming familiar with the merits of the instruments, and terms are made perfectly satisfactory to all reasonable purchasers.

Persons Trying to Buy Copies of the Trien nial Assessment Pamphlets. Controller Moi-row has received numerous communications within tbe past few days from parties who desire to secure copies of the triennial assessment pamphlet of 1888-89, and who evidently think the price has been reduced to SO cents per volume, for several of tbe letters contained money to pay for the books. The resolution reducing tbe price of the assessment lists will probibly be introduced at the next session of Councils on Monday. Until the matter has been settled the fixed price of S7 80 per volume will be asked, and the Controller does not care to be annoyed with orders for the books until it is settled. The City Treasurer is the only person who can sell the boobs, and the Controller will turn what money he has received over to him as soon as the price is reduced.

They state that they fouud that the company was working against their interests, aud they asked for information, which was not given them.

Yesterday the company obtained an in junction restraining Klotz from interfering with their business, and appointing another agent to take charge of tbe establishment.

Closing Out Auction Sale Of diamonds, watches, jewelry, clocks, bronzes, silver and silver plated ware, etc. Finding that I canno. give the necessary amount of attention to two stores, I have de cided to dispose of my Smithfield street store and afterward give my entire atten tion to tbe store at 36 Fifth avenue.

My stock is composed of over $75,000 worth of strictly first-class watches, diamonds, jewelry, silverware, clocks, bronzes, etc. This stock must be closed out as quickly as possible.

Respectfully. J. K. Obk. Caledonia, Elk Co., Pa., Nov. 25. To tbe Cheek er Editor of The Dispatch, 1 Talk of Barker's recent chestnut in the Chronicle Telegraph, it was after all only an old idea that often occurs in play across the squares, or even take the fine analysis of tbe doctor, sent to Joseph Maize, and credited to Wyllie. Inat is game 1595 of tbe Twf, and was given by nu less a dis tinguished player than J.H. Mugridge and was prefaced by quite a letter, afterward incor porated in R. E. Bowen's fine analysis of tbe 23-19 move in the June number of tbe N. K. C. P., 1879, and we can reconcile ourselves to tbe facts, but when I see anyone who has the audacity to take Martin's famous position, known as "Martin's Gem" set it back a move or two, and call it his own, it is time to call a' halt. It is true Solomon says "There Is nothing new under the sun." Let me say this Is not an ordinary con ception. One time in the Elmira Telegram I came across a very fine shot. It seemed famil iar, and after an exhaustive hunt found it in old Stnrges, with the colors reversed. I wrote a note to the editor and stated it must be an instance of "great minds think alike," only they thought the same in different colors. He called the contributor's attention to it,but nary a word did he answer. In problem No. 10 place tbe K on 22, white man on 9, and you bave Martin's famous posi tion. I will also add this came up in actual play in the old fourteenth, when a number of others and myself were playing Reed one even ing in exhibition games during his late visit. R. W. Pattebson. East End, Nov. 15, 1890. To the Checker Editor of The Dlspatcb.l Deae Sib Position No. 10. which appeared In The Dispatch of the 15th, is nothing but a rehash of the famous Martins position. The famons Martins position occurred in a varia tion of the Glasgow. I herein inclose you a copy of the game, as it was played between tbe lamented R. D. Yates and Mr. Pierce. Southside, Pittsbubq.

CHECKER CHATTEB. Sherrow's challenge has been accepted by a resident of the city, who withholds bfs name at present. We hope that after all arrangements nave been completed that we will have a well played match, that the city championship will so to the right parties and the best man via, Wneellnz. W. Va boldly ehallenna Pitts burg's bt trio to a correspondence: Bitch. Now. boys, let usjbear from you. There is plenty of line material in tbe city, it only re quires three, but let tbe best three come to the front aod hold np Pittsburg's reputation as a checker-playing city. We are proud that the city claims tbe birthpls.ee of the American champion, J. P. Reed. Mr. Rae, an old checker player, was in the city last week. He found that the city boys were a little too strong for him; tbe lack ot practice accounted for it. Strangers bave to be very expert to get away with the Pittsburg bovs. We feel a little nroud of tbem. Our frlenu Mr. Ellis is now one of our Pitts burg Doys. We are much pleased to bave him a resident amonir us. With a little across board practice he will be a strong candidate for cnampionsnip nonors, now soon to ne tested in real earnest. Joseph Maize was in the city on Wednesday afternoon the McDonald expert. It is ru mored we might have Joe among us, too; then, as a checker-playinc city, let some of tbe great cities beware of their reputation. THE PITTSBUT.O Dispatch contains a cor rect likeness of the veteran checker expert. Samuel Seeds, who has done more toward building up tbe game in that vicinity than any other. His biography is clean and bright, and players calling at 96 Seventh avenue can al ways find a welcome and a game going Derry Nevis. GILMOHE'S AGENTS HEBE. Preparations Being; Completed for the Thanksgiving; Concerts. Frank Christianer, manager, and Howard Pew, press agent for Gilmore's Band, were in tbe city yesterday. They unite in saying that this will be one of Gilmore's greatest seasons. He played in Cleveland a few nights ago, and hundreds of people were turned away. The band will appear at Old City Hall next Thursday afternoon and evening, and the following evening at Altoona, after which it will go to New York for a rest. Speaking of the Pittsburg concerts, Mr. Christianer said: "The advance sale of tickets is one of the greatest I have found along the route and indicates that Mr. Gil more is as popular as ever with the Pitts burg people. His programmes are espe cially fine, and his people are all in good trim." HEHHESST'S ASSASSHTS INDICTED. True Bills Found Against Nine Principals and Eight Accessories.
