THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 1892.'

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.
