TRIBUTE TO AN ABLE MAN.
The Allegheny County Bar Association
-Adopts a Minute on the Death ot
Judge Clark Klecant Addresses Made
by .Tudjre Mapee and Others.
The Allegheny O.iunty Bar Association
met yesterday to take action on the death
ot Judge riark ofthe Supreme Bench. M.
A. Woodward and Judge Kennedy were
Chairmen. Judge Magec in speaking of the
de"d jurist, said:
"To-dav I do not feel that my duty is
performed to the memory of Judge Clark if
I omit, in words, to express the regard
and sorrow I feel for his unexpected
death. I saw him for the last time the day
he left for his home, expectine. as he in
formed me. that at an early day he would
return to the city, with little thought that
when .ie spoke he stood on the threshold of
eternity, and that so soon he would go 'to
his long home and the mourners go about
the street
"I believe no one who came in touch with
him ever left his nresence unaffected by
love for the tun In the grasp of his hand .
you could feel the warmth ot his heart, and
in his tongue was "the law of kindness.' "
In conclusion, Judge Maeee said he was a
wise man and a good man. He left an
honored name, a spotless reputation and a
Christian life and a Christian death as his
legacy to the bench and bir of his native
State! "I mourn his loss."
Other addresses were made by City Attor
ney Moreland, Major A. M. Brown and J.
.. "Miller. Then a set of resolutions were
adopted. They recounted the story of
Judge Clark's life and then continuingsaid:
While we have followed his career upon
the Supreme Bench with fecllmrs of friendly
interest and professional pi idc, we cannot
nnuertakc :n till- minute even a brief re icw
of his judicial work. He who would do tnis
must mike n tudr of the nnmcraus opin
ions dcliverea by Judge Clnrk and published
m the !.it 40 olumes of the reports
These opinions are of ,uch character that
thev constitute :i fitting monument for a
.Ttulse of the highest ana noblest ambition.
Thev are models as to stj le, shon crcat m
dustrv.dcDth of research and legal learning,
and their loric is as clear as it is convincing.
Xo one. even in the heat of partisan strife,
cier had the tementv to suzgest might
asainst.TurtceCluk's uprightness and in
tegrity, and no more spotless Judicial robes
weie ever laid aside than those which he
put iromlnin when called himself to appear
before the Great Judge of all.
In thi- hour of lre-h sorrow, however, it
seems diihcult fnrus to turn our minds to
thoe things. We are o overwhelmed by
srief at the loss ofa friend and brother that
we cannot dwell upon other aspects of the
sad oicurrence. The unfailinscourtesy and
hearty cood will at all times manifested by
Judge Clark were such as to make him ap
pear the peisonal friend of each one who
appeared before him, and the many who
had the raro privilege of personal inter
course with him out of court will never
w nnt for a model of the true friend and high
toned cultured gentleman.
To his lamily we bejr to tender our heart

ATREATYINDANGER
The Revolution in Brazil Is Liable
to Knock Ont All the Reci
procity Arrangements.
FONSECA FRIENDLY TO AMERICA.
Foreign Powers Jealous of South America's
Trade and Are Paid to Be Ee-
-hind the Revolt
NAT1TKB TATJGnT TO HATE YANKEES.
It Is Asserted That the Members or the Brazilian Con
gress Hire Been Bribed.
Americans are afraid that the revo
lution in Brazil will endanger the reciproc
ity treaty with that country. There is good
ground for the'fear, when it is remembered
that General Fonseca, who has just resigned
as President, only succeeded in having the
bill pass the House and Senate with one
vote to spare. Fonseca is a great ad
mirer of the United States, and
he has always been friendly to the Ameri
cans. Dom Pedro took a great liking to
him, and raised him and his brothers from
the rank of lieutenants to Generals in the
army.
W. S. Burns, an American business man,
who has traveled extensively in Sonth
America, and is familiar with Brazil and its
people,-is at the Anderson. When asked
yp.terday what effect he thought the resig
nation of Fonseca would have on the coun
try, he replied: "I am inclined to
doubt that the President has re
signed. The news comes by way of
London and bears English earmarks. It
looked to me like a story trumped up to
affect the stock market. I never looked for
bloodshed in Brazil. The people are of
Portuguese origin and great cowards, they
won't fight. Of course, the Germans
in the southeast, who caused the
present trouble, and the Spaniards
are pugnacious, and can't be bluffed. I
think the difficulty can be traced to the
foreign haired of the reciprocity treaty.
You have no idea how the English are
opposed to us. They see their valuable
trade slipping away from them in Brazil,
and they won't lose it if intrigue can
prevent it.
Bribed by Knglish Gold.
"I think the Brazilian members of the
Honse and Senate have been bribed, for
ever since the bill was passed the Congress
has been arrayed against Fouseca.
"There are Liberal Republicans, the
Monarchists and Fonseca Republicans. The
President made a mistake in declaring him
self a dictator. I beleive he could have
crushed the German revolt without it. The
temptation, however, is great when the Con
gress is against a man and something must
be done. Under a dictatorship his acts
would be legal. The United States, if it
v. ishes to secure South American trade, must
make a demonstration, and we can't do it too
Foon. The Pan-American delegates were
simply paralyzed with our resources and
strength, but thev couldn't go back home
and tell what they saw. The people
wouldn't believ them. They think that
Europe is the only country on earth, and
w hat come' from there is perfect. Our im
provements are so far ahead of Europe that
the South Americans doubt the stories of
their representatives.
"I don't think there is any danger of the
monarchy being restored. My impression
of the people is that they are Republicans
and want a liberal government. It was
rather rough for General Fonseca to take'
advantage of Dom Pedro, but you know
everything is considered fair in politics.
He saw that a Republic was sure to come,
for the Emperor was old and not expected
to live much longer.
"His daughter was the heir, and her hus
band, who is a foreigner and thoroughly
hated, would have beoj the power behind
the throne. He had grown immensely
weathy in the country and carted the money
off" to'Europe. You can easily see why the
people had no love for him. Fonseca was
very popular with the army through Dom
Pedro's favor. If the Emperor had ap
peared in Rio Janeiro in the morning
when the change was made, the army
would have rallied around him, but he was
old and submissive and remained in his
palace, about eight miles from the city.
The Emperor was much devoted to bis peo
ple, and he gave his money awavin charity.
I never knew a man who'was so free with
his wealth in relieving distress.
Cannot Restore tbe Monarchy.
"The monarchy can't be restored with
out European aid, and then I should think
that, under the Monroe doctrine, it
couldn't be done without consulting the
United States. The South American "trade
is worth striving for. The climate is not
aereeable to our people, and no American
would care to live down there. England's
only interest in the country is to hold the
trade.
'"Brazil has a vast extent of territory, and
its mines rre something wonderful. The
frontier begins about a degree above
the equator. You can see the
Amazon river at the month forcing its
way through the water for miles out, into
the" ocean. In going up to Para it is so
wide that land is not in sight on either
side. Grace, of New York, is the only man
who navigated the river to its headwaters,
and crossed the mountains to Peru. He
told me he never wanted to do it again.
"The Argentine Republic, including
Patagonia, is another great country.
In territory it is almost as large as the
United States. They adopted the Farmers'
Alliance policy, and issued 53,000 in money
for every man, woman and child. The re
sult is that good currency has gone out of
circulation, and the Republic is bankrupt.
The Patagonians are chiefly Indians, very
tall and powerful. The climate is cold. I
remember in going through the Straits of
Magellen a party of Indians came out in a
boat to the vessel. We could seeglaciers all
around us, "but the big fellows didn't wear a
stitch of clothing. They had skins of the
vacuna to sell, and they exchanged them
for small knives and "other trinkets. I
bought a robe for scarcely nothing that was
worth 40 in England. " The captain gave
them a pair of trousers for one. They tore
itapart and two of them took a leg apiece."
Creditors Kindly IMsposed.
The creditors of J. P. Withtrow & Co.
will meet in the offices in the Lewis block
to-day. W. E. Curtis, a New York lawyer,
whoepresents the Watts syndicate, ar
rived yesterday and registered at the Duquesne-
George L. Reis, of Kaoxville, the
engineer for the Watts people at Middle
borough, K.y., is also here. E. C. Darley
said there was nothing to say in advance.
The creditors, he thought, were kindly dis
posed and willing to give the company a
chance to recover itself- He said Mr. Cur
tis had not come specially to attend the
meeting, but that be had other business to
look after. The firm wants in extension of
time and it will probably be granted. Re
ceiver Thompson, in charge of the New
Castle works, held a consultation with Mr.
Witherow last evening. He will be present
at the meeting.
T-ads Arrested for Stealing.
Joseph Cardemie, aged 8 years, a Greek,
and Ernest McGrew, C years eld, an Ameri

THE PITTSBURGH DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY,
TO SEE THE FOOTBALL OAKS.
i
A Baali or PltUburgers to Mew York, Inter
ested In the College Match.
The annual pilgrimage to New York about
Thanksgiving time to see the college foot
ball match has become a regular thing in
Pittsburg. Local people have been going
to the metropolis for the last week. The
women take as much interest in the game
as the men, and both sexes are about equally
represented. Last night the first of the
rush occurred, and it is estimated that fully
500 Pittburgcrs will see the Yale-Princeton
match. Several additional Pullman cars
were put on yesterday, and two sections of
the Eastern express "were run. A carload
of young men, principally Yale graduates,
started for New York last night.
Among those noticed on the trains were
Charles J. Clarke and family, Mrs. James
A. Chambers, O. D. Thompson, one of the
Pittsburg eleven; Mark Baldwin, the
pitcher; J. Palmer O'Neil, who claimed he
was bound for Philadelphia, and out of
baseball forever; Park Painter, David Ew-.
ing andothers.
Yale is the favorite in this city, and the
betting is 50 to 25 against Princeton. These
bets are taken freely by admirers of the
New Jersey men. The Thanksgiving fam;
ily reunions in New York are taking many
people over there also. The young folks
come in from the schools and attend the
game, while the fathers and mothers enjoy
themselves at the balls. The dinner is the
main event of the day. The Eastern travel
is expected to be very heavy to-day, and
additional sections will be run.
BEI1(G BEATEN TO DEATH.
A rittsburg Mother Wanted to look After
Her Boy in Chicago.
The police are endeavoring to find a Mrs.
Plumber, thought to be in this city en
gaged as a trained nurse in some hospital or
other institution. A letter was received
some weeks ago, from Chicago, relative to
the inhuman treatment of a child of Mrs.
number's which has been adopted by a
Chicago family, but the signature was
anonymous and no attention was paid to the
communication. Yesterday another letter
was received, in , different handwriting,
on the same subject. The letter tells the
story:
I write to ask If you will kindly look for a
Mrs. Plumber, who is a trained nurse lo
cated In Pittsbnnr. She trave her little boy,
George, for adoption to Mr. and Mrs. Gable
(they are supposed to be man and wlfo).
She is beating the boy to death and making
an idiot of hira. He receives no care w hat
ever, is left in a cold room by himself, is
never allowed to play or associate with
other children. He is only half fed and is
not allowed to go to bed until his adapted
parents do, no matter how late, and If ho
gets sleepy they make him run up and down
the room to keep awake. They are con
tinually pinching his nose, slapping, or
otherwise nbnsing the child, and if Mrs.
number ever wants to see him alive she
had better come to him a once. She cin get

The Carnegie Library rjans Can Still Be
Seen.
The exhibition of designs for the Carnegie
Library will be kep. open a few days loneer
or until the board gets ready to mee' for the
purpose of making a selection. It is the
intention to have these meetings held with
closed doors, and when they are not in
session the public will be admitte?. James
B. Scott said yesterday that the plan of the
library would hardly be selected for a
month. After that the architect whose
design is selected will prepar? the
detail; of the work, and then the
contractors will be given a chance to enter
into competition, fit is estimated that it
will take over two years to complete the
building after the contract is let, and Mr.
Scott th:nks it will be at least three years
befor the library will be raady to be
opened.
The district libraries, Mr. Scott said,
would not be commenced until the main
library is well under headway. It is in
tended to have all completed together.
Caught Trying; to Enter a Leather Store.
Last night, about 10 o'clock, Lieutenant
Glenn and Olhcer Yeagcr caught two men
in the rear of 214 Smithfield street, who
were in the act of breaking into the store of
D. Kinzer & Son, leather dealers. They
had secured a pick, by which they removed
the handle, and, after vainly trying to pry
open a shutter on a window, had broken the
door around the lock by pounding it irf. It
was the noise ot this work which attracted
the officers' attention, and thev surprised
the men while at work. At the Central sta
tion they gave their names as Benjamin
Straus, of Pittsburg, and Charles Ford, of
Dayton, O. The latter is a mere boy, hard
ly more than 19 years old. Both were
locked up for disposal to-day.
Contributions for the Humane Society.
At the regular meeting of the Humane
Society yesterday steps were taken toward
making arrangements for the annual meet
ing of the Society, which will be held next
January. The Society has been prospering
during the past year, and some very inter
esting reports of the good work that has
been done are about completed. They
show that the Society is one of the most
flourishing in the country. Secretary
Davidson reported the following contribu
tions: Mrs. James Hay, $3; J. R. Hen
dricks, fo; J. Walter Hay, J5; F. P. Adels
perger, children, ?5: 'John Munhall, 510;
fine from Agent Witt 510. or a total
of 540.
Only Three Officers Examined.
One of the regular examinations of officers
for promotion in the Second Brigade was
held at the Monongahela House last even
ing. None of the colonels were present,
and only three candidates were on hand to
stand tlie ordeal. These were 'Kilgore and
Saymer from the Tenth Regiment, and
Captain Spencer, of the Sixteenth. Captain
Hunt, Captain Murdock and Major Kay
constituted the board. The number is the
smallest ever examined, and the absence of
military men in the lobby was painful. It
looked as if the cold weather had dampened
the ardor of the young men and the
veterans.
His Horse Was Gone.
Last evening George "White, an Alle
gheny huckster, bitched his horse and
wagon to a post at Ohio and Arch streets,
Allegheny. He went into store near by
for a short time, and when he came out his
team was gone. The police were notified,
but secured no trace of the missing team up
to a late hour last night.'
Three Suspicious Children.
Two little girls and a boy, each about 12
years of age, were in the Central station last
night charged with being suspicious charac
ters. They were Martha "Bartkaniik, Katie
Siminska "and Charlie Gornak, and had
been arrested at the Market House while
begging and picking up articles from the
market stands. '

that of establishing

This wish has been faithfully carried out
by Mr. Donnelly in the institution known

prompted me gitt was an aamiranie one,
Leaving a Laved One.
while the results of this desire will perpetu
ate the name of Donnelly and be a credit to
the city of Pittsburg. Mr. Donnelly sat
in one of the reception rooms yesterday
afternoon, tired from a busy trip
over to New York. He, howeyer,
was obliging and courteous, and with
the assistance of Sister Agnes Mary of the
Sisters of Charity, he showed a Dispatch.
reporter through the rejuvenated building.
It is truly interesting.
The Hospital a Model of Taste.
Starting from the parlor, which room is a
model of taste and artistic judgment in har
monious selection of furniture, carpets,
decorations, etc., Mr. Donnelly's own
idea by th way one wanders through
the spacious balls "..to several
aite rooms for the reception of
visitors and parents.- These are all
handsomely furnished. Then to the kitchen
and pantries where any one with a hobby
for the culinary art would dote over the
many conveniences of modern invention
there to be found. The absence of dirt in
all departments is a refreshing feat
ure. The dining room is a large,
commodious apartment in which are a
number of tables covered with
good tableware and linen set for the serving
of meals to the sisters and nurses or whoever
may be a visitor. There are over 30 rooms
in the building and upstairs the most inter
esting sight meets the eye of a Ciller. The
private chambers, of which there are several
on the second floor, are quite
luxurious in their furnishment. They
would satisfy the most fastidious dyspeptic.
Apartments That Are Lnxnrlon.
The ward chambers are almost as fine,
while the Sisters' sleeping apartments are
perhaps more liberally furnished than the
average nun is used to. Sister Marie point
ed to the brussels carpet on the floor, and
smilingly said: ''This is something we
have not been used to; we have everything
which is necessary, but you know we are
very simple in our worldly tastes and
wants." She then complimented the donor,
Mr. Donnelly, in the very high terms.
Next the visitor suddenly enters into the
most interesting room on the floor. It is
the nursery, where 28 infants ranging in
ages from a month to two years, are laugh
ing, crying, singing, crawling, sleeping or
feeding to their hearts content. Anyone
who is fond of prattling babies can find a

there were only 14 young inmates in the

A little totlet of Hebrew extraction tum
bled and tossed over the floor with a gentle
man of very tender years, whose ancestors
came from Ireland. " Then an interesting
Hungarian was havine an argument over a
disfigured doll with a'Welsh baby, who de
monstrated its loyalty to foreign tin by
blowing a whistle made from that article.
The Different Nationalities.
A young German who was industriously
pulling at a bottle of milk, brought forth
the facetious remark of a Sister that he
"was taking to the bottle early." A Polish
prattler and dusky playmate made faces at
each other while a nurse carried them to
and fro to quiet their infantile tempers.
The woman was satisfied for she said, "this
is the happiest place in the world," while
the reporter held his ears to keep out the
shrill cries of the disgruntled youngsters.
A. playing room is now ready for the tots,
and it is filled with playthings, etc., which.
are the welcome gifts of" outsiders. Every
thing, no matter how infinetisimal, is wel
comed, and the public if it wants to further
the interests of the institution can not go
wrong in giving to it freely.
Also an immense laundry, a spacious lava
tory and bath rooms, sewing rooms where the
children's garments "are made, a ward for
the maternity hospital with 12 beds, a recep
tion hospital where children are examined
by physicians for contagious diseases before
admission and other details of importance.

wonderfully, and it is now a very handsome
structure.
Something About the Grounds.
Fire escapes "and broad porches are essen
tive features for safety in case of fire, and
the latter can give the children a chance to
breathe outdoors on rainy days. The
grounds are ample and a depth of 173 feet
in the yard is sufficiently large enough for
a sprinting track. There is also a large
vacant space across the street from the home
overlooking the Union depot which is to be

the idea of arrangement should and will be
complimented. It will be conducted on
the same plan as the New York Foundling
Asylum with a board of managers
and chairman. Those now at the bead of it
wish it to be prominently remembered
that it will be non-sectarian; every church
denomination being welcomed, and it is a
sure thing no one wil be carelessly treated.
The Sisteis will oversee everything, and ex
perienced nurses attend to the wants of the
young until they have arrived at the age
of two years, when every effort will be put
forth to secure for them suitable homes in
good responsible families.
How the Babes Are Received.
What is called the "Waifs' Basket" at
tracted attention by its novel working
and use. It is a comfortable revolving con
cern for the reception of the little tots
whose mothers, for various reasons, wish to
dispose of them. A button is touched and
the box automatically revolves, tne child
placed in, and again "the receptacle turns,
and there yon are. The mother can't get
the child out if she changes her mind.
The maternity hospital for erring or
destitute mothers who desire care, is a most
comfortable and admirable annex. On
Thursday nt the formal opening of the
Asylum many visitors who take interest in
such matters are expected to be present. A
number of invitations have been sent out
for the event, to take place in the building
at' the corner of Cliff and Gttm streets. It is
a great location both for pure air and
a charming view.
All others who have not received invita
tions are cordially invited to the opening.
The fact that much interest is evinced in
the welfare of the institution, is fully dem

SNOWDEN IS VISITED.
Secretary McBride Is Only Interested
in the White Miners.
WHAT THE INDIANA MINERS WANT
The Strike in the Tittshurg" District Wa3
Opposed bj McBride.
SOME GENERAL INDUSTRIAL NOTES
National SecretaryMcBride, of the United
Mine Workers' Association, was a visitor
in Pittsburg yesterday. He came here
from his home in Ohio to. investigate the
condition of the white miners at Snowden.
He returned from there late Monday night,
and when seen yesterday afternoon he gave
the following information:
"I was at Snowden Monday for a little
while conferring with the proprietors of the
mines .over the trouble existing between
them and the white miners. The whole
difficulty lies in that contract they want the
men to sign. The agreement calls for a 10
per cent discount on every dollar of
the miners' wages, which is held
for eight months, the time
the contract is drawn for. If
a minerjrants to leave the Snowden mines
he has to give one month's notice, or he does
not get the amount of his wages which
has been held back. The operators
did not feel disposed to give in,
so the 48 white miners will stay
out, and the association will give them all
the aid that is necessary. There are several
things against the Snowden miners. They
nearly all own properties there and cannot
leave. I think, though, the company will
see the tolly of its course and eventually
come around all right. The matter will be
left in the hands of President Costello for
ettlement.
Negroes Were Not Suffering.
"My visit to Snowden did not have any
thing to do with the negro element. They
are not organized, and, as I wanted to do
ray best for the whites. I was afraid of
friction with the operators if I said any
thing about the colored miners. I ob
served though, and asked certain persons
about the published story of the slavish
condition of tbe blacks, and it was strongly
denied. From what I saw I was convinced
the men were being used all right. I left a
colored member of the National Board to
investigate it thoroughly."
Mr. McBride also talked on several other
subjects. In speaking of the fetrikc in the
block and bituminous coal regions of
Indianafihe said:
'"To-day the miners and operators of the
block coal region of Indiana are holding a
conference. To-morrow ther miners of the
whole State will meet, and the report of to
day's conference will be heard. The block
coal miners want an advance of
10 cents and the bituminous miners want
an advance of 5 cents. If our side receives
the advance the other side will be willing
to give in, but if the operators refuse to
make any concessions a general strike of
long duration will follow. The block coal
miners are not well organized, but the bitum
inous men are and it will make a long fight."
McBride Opposed the Last Strike.
Secretary McBride was sounded on the
political situation of the association, but
on this subject he was as mum as an oyster.
He branched off on the late strike In the
Pittsburg district. "I was opposed to that
strike from the 'beginning," said he.
"When it was brought up before
the National Board I then ob
jected to it, and the strike never had
tbe sanction of the National Board.
Therp were several reasons for it. I hold
that the men broke their contract in strik
ing before their scale had run out. It was at
least bad policy to strike until after the late
trade had1 been gotten out The miners of
the Pittsburg district are not as well organ
ized as in some districts. One part of them
were firm during the strike, while the other
was constantly wavering and disheartening
the others. The men were not wholly to
blame, as the operators, too, broke their
agreement in several instances.
""I anticipate a great deal of trouble next
May, when the new scale is made out. The
men will demand an advance, at least on
local trade, and the "operators cannot get
around giving it, although they will prob
ably fight it. (The unions have the same
righttoaskfor an advance now the opera
tors had to demand a decrease several years
ago. When natural gas was first put on the
market as a fuel there was plenty of it, and
the local coal trade was affected. The oper
ators then asked for a decrease and got it,
and, on the same principle, the miners will
next spring ask for an increase, as the gas
has virtually played out."
