"While the scissors were clicking around
the victim's head, Arthur Smith, colored
barber, eaid: "When I was in St. Louis
about 15 years ago, General Sheunsu sat
down in my chair to have his hair cut I
knew the General, for he'd been coming to
the shop I worked in regular for some time,
but 1'rTneter handled him. I was a pretty
proud man to be cutting General Sherman's
hair, and I thought 1M make the most of it.
After I'd been cutttng a minute or two T
fetched up enough courage to speak to the
Genera). Didn't know 'xactly what to besrin
on, sol cracked off something abont marching
through Georcia. He never moved tils head
bat just said quiet-like: "You keep a-marcbin'
through my hair, bonny, and don't worry about
Georgia." "
That reminds me," said the victim under
sci-sorp, "tliat during the march fiom Atlanta

him, 'Uncle Billv. worn tut, had lain down
beside the road along which the troops were ad-
aucing to get an hour or two's rest. It was in

stumd galoot fori uou't believe the fellow

happened to Make upas this was said, and
called good-naturedly to the grumbler: Ynu

I was awake and planning for j ou,' and you can
bet the rst of us cheered him, and the growler
looked mighty mean."

"There's an art In doing the smallest things
well," said Charles Corning, the electrician,
'and I saw it beautifully illustrated in a Pull
man car coming over from Chicago a tew days
ago Ine porter was unusually pol'ite and
painstaking. Ho called us in good time to get
Jrcssed before wc got into Pittsburg, had our
shoes beautifully sbincd, and brushed us with
that mingled tenderness and elaboration that
only long practice in Pullman sleepers can pro
duce. I don't know how many of us there were 1
in tbc car: perhaps a dozen men. But in that
last ten mmute-, after the regular tips had
beunpaid, everjonoof us. I think, discovered
that his umbrella was missing. Each man
sooner or later called in the porter, and after a
sharp mvestigatson of nooks and corners the
umbrella always came to light thanks to the
porter's keenness of eyesight and detective
qualities, of course. In each case, or in most
casts anyhow, a dime or a quarter went to the
Under of tbe umbrella. 1 here is, I sav, an art
induing the smallest things, even trailers,
and 1 regard that porter as an artist in err
truth."
Tortrait Painters Aid.
"The portrait painter of to-day, said Mr.
Dabbs, tbe photographer, "has a much better
time than his predecessors had before the in
tention and perfection of photography. Tbe
artist who painted a portrait, say 50 years ago,
had to make it from nature entirely a series of
tittings were necessary. J ow this is not neces
sary, howeTer desirable it may be. if be can
obtain a good photograph of the subject. He
can get the little points of color, expression,
dress or special features reqmred by the client
in a sitting or two. For form, pose and ex
pression to a large extent the artist can rely
upon a photograph, and it is my opinion that
the result will be usually found more satis
factory than under the old methods when the
arust had only his own powers to depend upon.
Beyond all question photography has enabled
the portrait painters of modest talents to rival
the geauises ot former times."
Bachelors to Bo Sacrificed.
"Women are always the benefactors of man--ind,"
said a lawyer yesterday in strict confi
dence, "and I am prepared to yield'them hom
age for their stand in most matters. The
American woman, as the finest of her sex, has
fewer faults, no doubt, than her sisters the
world over, but in one particular she sins more
grievously than they. It is in regard to politics
that the American woman is very generally ex
erting her influence in anything but the best
way. I don't refer to the woman in politics; I
refer to the woman out of politics. The
litter is opposed to her male relations entering
politics, fahe says to her husband, brother or
sweetheart: 'Don't you go in politics for
heavcu's sake politics is so dirty! You will be
contaminated.' The other day a married
woman besought me not to lead her husband
into politics, and explained her motives in tbe
usual wav. 'But if all the good, pnre men stay
out of politics, my dear madam.' I said, 'how
can nolitics be an j tiling but impure?'
" 'Then,' said she, 'let the bachelors attend to
polities' delicious idea, wasn't it?"
Criminals Lack Courage.
Detective Fitzgerald has a pretty wide ac
quaintance with the men and women who live
on tbe seamy side of the world, and he said the
other day: "Tbe majority of criminals are
cowards from the word go. 9. he average thief
and common tough will not fight nnlesshe's
sure he ha got the odds on his side. Liquor or
a crowd of friends ma ometimcs give a cur
courage, but most of the habitual criminals
would rather run than fight any day And
though it is a fact that most of them carry
guns, j ou don't often hear of them shootin" an
officer who arrests them." h. 5

The Records of Allegheny Councils Are
Never Presented for Correction Com
plications That May Follow Too Much
City Legislation Decided on the Pavc
menU. Select Councilman Jdwin Lare, of AUcv
cheny, arises to remark that he thinks it
time that the minutes of Councils should be
read. He says he has no recollection of
hearing , the clerks declaim once in
the last ten yearns, certainly not
in the last four. How, Mr. Lare
thinks that no man wonld allow his
private business to be thus loosely con
ducted. He says he does not mean to charge
that the clerks neglect to perform their duty
conscientiously, but being fallible it is pas
sible there may be mistakes in the record
and a further possibility that if there are
tbey may in future tell against the city in
law suits.
Mr. Lare says the stereotyped form
of doing business is for the presidents
to order the reading of the minutes.
Some member invariably arises and
mores to dispense with the
reading. A short controversy settles it, and
those who wish to rash business always win.
Mr. Lare cites other evil results that are
possible on account of the omission, and says
one cause of tbe omission is the late hour at
which Councils convene. This precludes
much debate during the session, and in con
sequence most measures are debated ana
members' minds formed on the sidewalk to
tbe detriment, in some instances at least, of
the public weal. Unless the s abject under
discussion be of intenseinterest it is almost
impossible to hold a quorum until a late
hour.
Mr. Lare also points out the fact that un
der the arrangement that gives Allegheny
City 53 Common and but 13 Select Council
men thisyear, it is possible for seven mem
oers in the Select branch to control all the
legislation ot the city. "While it does not
follow that such will be the case, the ease
with it might be accomplished is perilous.
SUIT AGAINSTJNCLE SAM.
Herrs Island Property Owners Protest
Against the Building of the Movable
Dam Claims They Enter for Damages
Basis of the Sole.
A bill in equity' was filed in tbe United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, by Harbison
& "Walker, Armstrong Bros. & Co., "W. H,
Hamilton & Co., the estate of James B
Morgan, and the trustees of the estate of
James Marshall, against Hon. BedfielZ
Proctor, Secretary of "War; W. E. Merrill,
Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers of the
United States Army, and J. "W. Arras,
resident engineer,' defendants, on behalf of
the Goverment,
The suit is in relation to the construction
oi'theHerr's Island dam. The plaintiffs
state that they are the owners of the land
along the river from Twentieth"to Twenty
fourth streets. By reason of the location of
their lands they are entitled to the riparian
rights of owners ot land on navigable water
ways. The Secretary of War and Lieuten
ant Colonel Merrill have decided to con
struct a movable dam across the Alle
gheny River, at Twenty-second street. A
lock will be placed on the Pittsburg side,
extending 17 feet above low water mark;
also, a wing wall of crib-work, which will
be higher than the natural surface of the
land, and will take away the riparian
rights of the plaintiffs, and depreciate tbe
value ol their properties.
The damages claimed are as follows: Har
bison & WalKer, $50,000; estate of James B.
Morgan, $15,000; trustees of the estate of
James Marshall, S25.000; Armstrong Bros.,
$25,000; W. H. Hamilton & Co., $25,000;
Ireland & Hughes, $20,000.
The defendants claim that under the act
of Congress they are authorized to construct
the dam without making any compensation
to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs maintain
that under article 5 of tbe Constitution pri
vate lands cannot be taken for public nse
without just ' compensation being made.
They ask for an injunction Restraining the
defendants from proceeding with the dam
without compensation being made, and if
the act of Congress authorizes the taking of
the land in question without making com
pensation, to decree the act unconstitutional.
DYING FB0M STAEVAXI01T.
Awful Situation of a Fayette County Family
Xoir Living in Pittsburg.
"Here is another instance of the heartless
and almost inhuman methods of the County
Poor Boards," said Examiner Hoffman, of
the Department of Chapties, yesterday, as
he tossed aside a letter from the Poor Board
of Payette county.
The woman interestetlMn the letter was
present. She was a fine looking lady, with
every appearance of respectability. Her
name was Mrs. John Forman. She had
been sick all winter, and her husband is
dying at a little house in the rear of 2918
Penn avenue from consumption and starva
tion. They had lived at Morrell, Favette
county, where Mr. Forman worked for the
Cambria Iron Company until he was over
come by disease. They have nine children.
The eldest is 23, and a cripple. Several of
theyoungergirlslived in Pittsburg as domes
tics, so the lamily decided to reunite in
Pittsburg. Soon after their arrival here
almost all the family took sick. The De
partment of Charities was notified and aided
them, but, of course, wrote to the author!,
ties of Fayette county, where the family
belong, asking them to make good the
money which the Pittsburg department
might deem neccssarv to advance.
The reply that came was that the family
could go to the Fayette county almshouse,
but not a cent would be allowed them in
Pittsburg, although they know, perfectly
well that the man is dying. Mr. Hoffman
said tbe city could not do anything, al
though he gave her several dollars to buy a
little food. She left the office crying, a"nd
just as she reached the door she said: "He
may be dead before I get home."
AFTEB COUNTERFEIT DETECTORS.
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara Issues a
Warning to City Ban&s.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Eoger
O'Mara has received notice that "W. Camp
bell Phelau is in the city endeavoring to se
cure the patronage of the banks for the
American Detector Company. The object
of this corporation is to insure banks
against loss caused by taking in counterfeit
money, the offer being to redeem all such
money in return for a yearly subscription of
$10.
Mr. O'Mara has in his possession a circu
lar from New York denouncing the com
pany and tbe men who comprise it. One
member is nut down as a man who failed,
compromised with his creditors and then re
fused to pay the notes given them. Another
is said to have started as a "bountyjumper"
during the war and to have kept up this
record until in November, 1883, he was sent
five years to the Fitchburg, Mass., jail for
passing counterfeit money. This was
Phelan, the man now in Pittsburg. He was
engaged on a publication devoted to expos
ing counterfeits and his plan was to borrow
counterfeit money from banes which had re
ceived it ostensibly lor the use o' the paper,
and then pass this money off on storekeepers
and at gambling bouses. Another man is
said to be wanted in New York for em
bezzlement. The circular in the possession of Mr.
O'Mara is signed by "W. Dickesman, of 31
and 33 Broad street, New York, whom the
assistant superintendent says is all right.
Mr. O'Mara states that he is aware that
Phelan is in Pittsburg and he desires to
warn the banks from doing any business
with him.

Another Interesting and Instructive
Talk by Edmund Eussell.
PRIME MINISTER OP DELSARTE.
His Views, as Expressed at the Pennsyl
rania College, Yesterday.
SEVERAL OTHER I.ECTOKES OP THE DAI
French, German, music and everything
else in the school catalogue was completely
ignored yesterday afternoon by the young
ladies at the Pennsylvania College in favor
of "dress," and they were upheld in their
co-called frivolity by their principal, Miss
Pelletreau, who, In her own dignified and
charming manner, introduced Edmund
Eussell, the dissipator of all routine studies
in their youthful minds.
College girls were not alone in the culti
vation of the subject dear to the heart and
purse of every woman, as a large aggrega
tion or East End society ladies reinforced
their numbers and assisted in comfortably
filling Dilworth Hall annex to the college.
Mr. Bussell said in substance:
Dress should be an art in some degree
peculiar and special to each individual,
with the modifications due to his peculiar
constitution and the circumstances of his
growth. It is the most complex and
difficult of all arts, for, resting on the frame
work of the human body, an adjunct and
accomplice in all man's expression, it re
quires the broadest knowledge of humanity
and individuality to understand its mys
teries. Being Artistic by Catalogue,
It is fashionable and quite the proper
thing to be artistic But many are so by
catalogue. They visit picture galleries and
recognize' from the. catalogue marks the
great masters' paintings, and likewise haunt
china stores until competent to judge of fine
chinaware. Butthe taste that only grasps the
beauty of an individual object is a primi
tive one. The higher knowledge of art will
take that object and so relate it that it be
comes part of a harmony.
Dress should be so studied. Few know
by instinct, and fewer by knowledge, those
subtler relations of line and coloring to the
lines and colors of the wearer, tbe expres
sion of different orders of motion as to re
vealing character, the expression of different
textures in materials, the relation of the
lights in jewels to the gleam of the eyes and
teeth, to the sh&dows or high lights of the
complexion. Virtues should be enhanced,
defects covered up, dress should represent
its wearer in character, at her best. Every
garment and every color donned either
accentuates good or bad points. Fashionable
dress is designed and made for no one in
particular; it is adopted by all people, not
by their expression, but for it.
Artistic dress is one especially designed to
suit all the characteristic points of the in
dividual. A great many people dress fash
ionably and expensively, lor a great many
people know how to coin money, but few
dress artistically. What we need is more
study of art, not of the arts, with their spe
cial technique, painting, sculpture and
music, bat a knowledge of the principles of
art at the center, the art human, the art of
daily life.
Some of the Models of the Day.
The models which seem to be followed to
day are tbe German soldier and the Noah's
ark woman. People are less anxious to
wear what is becoming than to wear what is
the latest style. Individualism is sacrificed
to style every time. The fundamental laws
of beauty are violated by modern cos
tumes. The beaujy of lines radiating- from
the points of support that makes the Grecian
dress so beautiful are ignored In modern
costumes. A beautiful woman in a tight
fitting dress would be but little short ol an
angel in flowing, graceful robes. A
plain woman wonld be interesting in
a similar dress. The graceful swaying
and undulating movements of the body are
prevented by the drawing-in at the waist or
at any other portion of the body. The laws
of health, as well as ot beauty, are violated
in such an instance. The freedom of motion
and grace ot carriage are then no longer
possible. Men and women are mechanical,
their movements are abrupt and jerky; they
lack grace and rhythm.
The fundamental law of expression Is
control at the center, freedom at the extrem
ities, and perfect flexibility of all parts of
the body, so that it responds to the passing
emotion and translates it faithfully. In
great actors the body is so sensitive that the
motion passes over it in great waves, so fine,
so complicated in its harmony, that we are
unable to analyze it; we can only speak
of the effect it has upon us. Bernhardt, in
her "Joan of Arc" the first act is capable
of arousing breathless intensity, yet she
remains to the uneducated eye almost mo
tionless during tbe greater portion of it.
But in order to do that, her dress is con
structed entirely without stays or bones.
In combining colors and fabrics, Mr.
Bussell repeated the remarks already made
at Mrs. A. E.'AV. Painter's, and reported in
these columns. ,
A TALK ABOUT JAPAN.
Rev. Dr. Holland Interests an Audience at
Grace Reform Church.
For a better understanding of things
Japanese, those who were of last night's au
dience in Grace Reform Church are in
debted to Kev. Dr. "W. J. Holland, late of
the United States Government expedition to
the Kingdom of tbe Mikado. While be
talked, using pleasing and entertaining
language, the room was darkened,
and clear, sharp photographic, views
were thrown upon a canvas, thus more
surely fixing on the mind the splendid and
graphic descriptions of the speaker. Having
conducted his audience safely into the har
bor of Tokio, Dr. Holland told them about
the quaint, clean, but uncomfortable junks,
or old-time boats, for travel and commerce,
contrasting them with the more modern
steam crafts of the present. Then he
spoke of other conveyances, notably the
two-wheeled vehicle propelled by ''man
power," which was invented by an Amer
ican seaman, out of a pair of wheels and an
old store box, for the convenience of his in
valid wife, saying that this little handcart
was immediately adopted by the- "Japs,"
and by them introduced into, general use,
being adopted later by the Chinese.
The lecturer also described the homes of
these interesting people their light, airy
houses and their beautiful gardens in which
were found numerous examples of artistic
ingenuity and imitation in miniature of
nature. The most interesting and sug
gestive part of the learned gentleman's dis-,
course, spoken in the plainest words of
Anglo-Saxon origin, to meet the under
standing of all, was his description of the
great public works of Japan her mag
nificent temples and castles, with their in
tricate carvings and inlaid woods, and her
grand parks and grounds for recreation.
While he talked enthusiastically ot the
fasciuating grandeur as well as the entranc
ing beauty of tbe workmanship and
finish of those gorgeous temples
monuments to a people's skill not the
name of a single individual was uttered as a
pre-eminent person to whom the present
might turn in emulation. It was all the
work of a people, and contrasted very
forcibly the individualism which tbe civili
zation to which the country is an heir, with
tbe want of individualism, fhe merging of
the one into tbe person of the whole people
the "Nationalism" of the civilization of
which Japan, of the not-bt-anv-means
ancient past, loruied a conspicuous part.
There was thought and inspiration in the
doctor's talk.

Enjoy a Pleasant Reunion at an Allegheny
Presbyterian Church.
There was a meeting' ot Sunday school
workers last night at the First Presbyterian
Church, on Arch street, Allegheny, com
prising those in the first district of the
Presbyterian School Institute. The church
was comfortably filled, and two addresses
"were made. The first was by Mrs Wilbur
1". Crafts, the President of the National
Primary Union. She isa forcible and fasci
nating talker, earnest and enthusiastic, and
on acconnt of these qualities held tbe close
attention of her hearers throughout her
discourse, lasting half an hour.
She told of the best methods of teaching
both old andjroung and with the aid of a
blackboard: and several articles, such as a
book, a match, a "swaddlingband" she pro
cured in the orient and a child's overcoat
from the same region, she made her talk
very interesting. She divided her advice
on methods into seven different forms which
she called lamps, naming them illustration,
imitation, imagination, questioning, system,
repetition and enthusiasm, A dissertation
was briefly given on each of these heads and
the whole put together in a clear, plain
manner that was no doubt prolific of much
thought by her hearers, which after all was
the object sought.
Kev. S. C. McClelland, formerly a mis
sionary to Siam, afterward delivered a lec
ture on "The Spiritual Preparation of the
Teacher, He was of the opinion that it
were better for the Church and the scholar
that the teacher be a converted man, even
if an ignorant one, rather than an uncon
verted one, even it intelligent His spirit
ual welfare must be secure to have the
proper effect with his scholars.

prevailed upon Mr. Sutton, of the American

himself, by cable, for a prolongation of the
