SSS5EP tei v?? K-frB yr-THylVr TVT THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 1892.' 12 jfaggfcaWgjBSyBB EESIDEXCE OP The Pittsburg chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution it congratulated on its successful entrance on a career of landlord ism. Sirs. Schenley, of London, who is mistress of the art of doing graceful acts, has tranferredthe old Block House at the Point, the ground on which it stands and a surrounding plot for the purposes of a park In perpetuity to the organization. It ii understood that the Daughters will improve, beautify and embellish the little breathing spot, and use means to preserve the Block House, but not to injure its peculiar and, to the Daughters, sacred characteristics. "Whether there will be a desire to remain landowners or not is a question. It is too toon to believe thjit they have given long, serious thought to what the ownership of ground in Pittsburg will entail. It may be that the city will relieve the property of taxation if the park be thrown open to the public. In that cae the only responsibility would be the meeting of current expenses, whatever they may be. A practical transfer of the improved property to the city would be in fact what the first is in spirit, and in addition would relieve the Daughters of the burden ol the management. Again, they night charge a small entrance fee, and, re taining the property in their own right, pay possibly only a nominal sum to the city. It is not meant to be ungenerous to the society, but it is likely matters would be Tmuch simplified and a longer and more successlul existence predicted for the Block House Park if it were turned over to the city. The Daughters might beautify it to please themselves first and have a tablet or other monument to perpetuate their act of useful ness to posterity. It is amusing to hear the Health Pro tective Association felicitating itself over the improvement in the condition of the THE OLD BLOCK HOUSE street cars. It may be that there are con ductors really desirous to have cleanliness In their cars, but the majority are indifler en t, not to sny actively responsible for a feneral contempt of the white sign for idding expectoration. There is no reason why a conductor should not indulge in tobacco, any more than that anyone else jhould do anything else by which the pub lic is annoyed. But there are conductors, and on our pattern Fifth avenue line, at that, who do use the weed, and, since they stand by the steps, very much to the detri ment ot a woman's dross. It must be denied that the cars are a bit cleaner than they were six months ago. As for the streets they grow worse. And, really, the smoke may be diminished, but it soils one's linen as much as ever. "We are scrubbing, scouring and ccraping ali the time, and yet our streets and the general ap pearance of our public conveyances must cause anything but a glow of pride on our cheeks. The Health Protective Association has done us a good turn as a town, and we all like it very much, but when it begins to congratulate itself, as it has done, then it is time for us to "reason together." The question is, is the lengthy lease of life enjoyed by the Tuesday Night Club due to its merit or to the long suffering of its friends? I almost committed the serious act of burying a very much alive institution last Sunday. All that was said of Miss Ward's school will hare to be recalled, (or, though made in entirely good faith, it appears the statement that the schoolwould cry "pt ccavi" at the close of the midsummer term is en tirely Incorrect. Miss "Ward, in a polite letter of remonstrance against having her school put under ground, says that her school is very flourishing and will be ready to take up the cudgels ior itself next autumn as usual, and congratulations are extended to Miss Ward that she still will continue in school work, and also to the East End that it will still possess one of the most flourish ing and successful schools of its kind in town. One of the snmmer's wasted opportunities might be described as the girl who eould look graceful on a bicycle if she would only raise the seat of it a bit. If the "Daughters of the Bevolutlon" continues to acquire property as success fully as she attained her first possession there will have to be a close watch kept on fortune hunters. The "Daughters" is very feminine alter all, and might be enticed into making one in a case of elopement. Orphans will be the most fashionable fad in children this week. One would like to know, when society and I MBS. P. C. KKOS, history put iheir heads together, what they find in common to talk about. MARIOS' CBAWFOBD GAT.TiATTBB. BRILLIANT BRIDALS.
