A FBEE TKADE DISCOVERT.
The New York World in its vigorous at
tempt to discover a flaw in Senator
Aldrich'a argument on the cost of living
under the operation of the McEanley act
thinks it has found a bonanza. It finds
that the price of certain articles
of food has been increased since
the passage of the McKinley act, and
straightway accuses Senator Aldrich of
suppressing the fact It compares the
statistics of beef, bread, butter, codfish,
cabbage, eggs, flour, mutton, onions, pork,
milk and potatoes, and discovers that since
June, 18S9, they made an advance of about
21 per cent, and in September, 1891, aver
aged 1 per cent higher. "In this list of
the necessaries of life," exclaims the
World, "there is not an article that did
not advance in price during the agitation
and after the passage of the JIcKinley
act."
Now will the esteemed World pause in
its tariff-smashing career long enough to
explain now the action of any tariff duty
can raise the price of wheat, flour, beef,
bread, butter, milk, pork et al in this
country? Whence would come the im
ports that would cheapen prices to Amer
ican consumers if thoy were admitted
duty free? What has become of the free
trade dogma that the price of all these
domestic products is invariably fixed by
the foreign markets where" we sell our
surplus?
The Democratic indictment has been
that the tar.ff does not advance the prices
of farm products and is therefore a
burden to them. If the esteemed World's
profound study of the statistics has any
appesiteness it shows this assertion to be
untrue. The fact is, as everyone with
even a superficial knowledge of commer
cial movements knows, that these ad
vanced prices for domestic food staples
were due entirely to short crops. The
esteemed World, however, recognizes that
the firs! requisite for its tariff-destroyine
editorials is ignorance of the natural in
fluences which control the markets. .
VICTORIA'S DISCRETION.
The reception of Gladstone by the
Queen at Osborne will have the effect of
quieting the adverse talk caused by re
ports that the English sovereign was in
spired by dislike for the old Commoner
almost to the extent of inaugurating a
constitutional conflict to prevent his tak
ing office. The incoming Prime Minister
was received with especial honors, and
not even Lord Salisbury has been received
with more hospitality.
This was doubtless intended to allay the
republican muttering caused by reports
tint the Queen was disposed to interfere
with politics to the extent of blocking the
fervor of the Parliamentary majority to
designate the Cabinet These reports
were probably without foundation. But
it is beyond question that Gladstone's re
ception showed a great change in the royal
attitude from the decidedly c6ol hospi
tality with which he was received in
1885, when he was summoned to form a
ministry after Lord Ilartington had been
requested to perform that function and
had refused it Then not even a carriage
was sent to meet him at the railway
station. On Monday, however, he was re
ceived with decided empres3ement and ac
corded the recognition due to a statesman.
It is a matter oftsonjecture whether the
Queen has becomo reconciled to the rad
ical views of Gladstone, or has become
convinced that her personal dislike for
him and his policy must not enter into
offlclal relations. But it is clear that she
has too much sense to entertain the
thought of marring the close of her con
stitutional reign by trying to assert an
arbitrary power over the naming of the
responsible government or by treating the
Ministers whom she does not like with
open disfavor.
CONSTITUTIONAI. IGNORANCE.
A theory of Mr. McCune, editor of the
Farmers' Alliance trgan, is in circulation
by which if the People's Party can carry
electoral votes enough to throw the elec
tion into Congress the Vice Presldental
candidate of that party, General Field, is
sure to be elected. The House will elect
Mr. Cleveland sure enough, Mr. McClure
recognizes, but he thinks the Senate has
got to elect General Field. "The Consti
tution prohibits the President and Vico
President both' coming from the same
State," says Mr. McCune, "and the House
having chosen Mr. Cleveland first, Mr.
Eeid would oe rendered ineligible. The
Senate would, therefore, be compelled to
choose between Mr. Stevenson and Mr.
Field, and there is little room for doubt
that they would select the latter. " A city
cotemporary editorially concedes Mr. Mc
Cune's postulate, but deems it more than
doubtful if the Senate would prefer Gen
eral Field to Mr. Stevenson.
1 wo inquiries naturally arise When such
a theory of Constitutional action is pre
sented. The first is what clause of the
Constitution provides that the House shall
elect the President before the Senate does
the Vice President? As there is no such
provision, it would be just as easy for Mc
Cune's theory to have the Senate elect
Mr. Reid first, and this would accomplish
a much greater victory for the People's
Party by insuring General Weaver's choice
by the House on the same logic. The
other question is: What clause of the Con
stitution prohibits the President and Vice
President both coming from the same
State? Mr. McCune and our cotempo-
l rary both need to overhaul the Constitu
tion in order to learn that there is no such
prohibition. The only prohibition is that
the electors of each State, shall vote for
President and Vice President, "one of
whom at least shall not be an inhabitant
of the same State with themselves." The
electors of New York, for example, can
not vote for both Mr. Cleveland and Mr.
Beid; but none of them will wish to.
If the election is thrown into Congress
the House will, elect Cleveland and the
Senate will elect? Beid. There i3 no Con
stitutional obstacle to their doing so; but
there would be a Constitutional obstacle
to the Senate's election of Mr. Field. The
Constitution requires the Senate to make
a choice from the two persons having the
greatest number of votes. As General Field
would be the third on the list he would be
ineligible to election by the Senate. It
is well to consult the Constitution before
quoting it
ENGLAND'S NEW MINISTRY.
The full list of Gladstone's Cabinet is
given to the world at last, now that all
customary usages have been complied
with. Earl Boseberry's acceptance of the
Foreign Secretaryship may be taken as an
indication that Gladstone's course in deal
ing with other nations in the past is to be
modified and stiffened up. The Dis
patch has already pointed out the doubt
as to Harcourt's fitness to become Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, and at the same
time noted the superlative appropriate
ness of John Morley's return to the Irish
Secretaryship. Baron Herschell will be
come the woolsack to the credit of the
nation as the woolsack will become him.
Few British politicians have made such
rapid strides to prominence as Mr.
Asquith. He is a young man and
has given exceptional evidence of
oratorical brilliancy and keen men
tal ability. As Home Secretary ample
opportunity will bo found to test
his powers of statesmanship. This office
has control of the London police among
other things, and is filled with increased
importance and difficulty since the growth
of liberalism, radicalism and socialism in
the British metropolis.
Among other appointments those of the
Marquis of B.pon as Secretary of State
for the Colonies, and Mr. Arnold Morley
as Postmaster General appear peculiarly
happy. The former is'a man of such tact
and suavity as have brought him great
popularity, and as Viceroy of India he
made a very satisfactory record, verging
even on brilliancy. Arnold Morley is a
thoroughly able business man of
sound integrity, and he has served
his party faithfully as a "whip."
Baron Houghton, the new Viceroy of
Ireland, is young and little known to the
public. His father, the first of the title,
was a man of considerable literary ability,
and was remarkable for his wide circle of
friends and acquaintances among leading
statesmen and politicians. This appoint
ment is possibly due to a personal expres
sion of the Queen's desires, as the Baron
has been one of her Lords in waiting. But
it is probably that his .wealth and its de
votion to the Liberal cause play no small
part in the matter.
Taken as a whole, Mr. Gladstone's Cabi
net is a strong one, but it is hardly equal
to his earlier Ministries so far as can now
be judged. The new Government has a
hard task before it, though it is one the
successful accomplishment of which de
pends in an unusual" flegree on the action
of the party as a whole, and still more on
the common sense and unity of the Irish
members, than on the individual or col
lective strength of its Cabinet officers.
THE NECESSITY OF LAW.
With miners attacking the convict
camps in Tennessee and setting the State
at defiance; with striking switchmen
blockading the public highways at Buf
falo, and with the mutterings of the
trouble at Homestead and in Montana still
audible, each section of country has con
tributed its quota to the labor disorders of
the season.
It should be clearly understood that
every such attitude of defiance to law and
order is an injury to the cause of thework
ingman. Labor can never be secure un
less the law is supreme. The reign of
force and violence paralyzes industry,
drives capital into secret hoards, and
leaves everything at the mercy of lawless
ness and brutal strength. The. most
greedy encroachments of organized capi
tal cannot do labor half so much harm as
the substitution of civil war for peaceful
government by law.
The laboring men sbonld promptly and
forcibly aid in the suppressing of all those
who burden and injure their cause by
criminal acts. There are unquestioned
evils to be redressed in the relation of
capital to the masses; but the remedy can
only be found in peace and good order.
To attempt to solVe them by acts of civil
war is simply industrial self-destruction.
KEAR TO RECORD-BREAKING.
The performance of "Nancy Hanks last
week at Grand Rapids Mich., in trotting
a mile in 2:09 under unfavorable condi
tions, contains an intimation, though not
an assurance, that the era of record-breaking
is not at an end. Only once has this
time been equaled or beaten on a regula
tion track; and that once was the famous
record of Maud S. While the conditions
cannot be held to make or lower records,
there Is in.jthis performance an indication
that the best time has not yet been made.
For not only was this fast mile made un
der unfavorable circumstances, but even
with them the last quarter was done in
Sli seconds, probably the best closing
quarter on record. A horse that can finish
a mile in such a style is liable to do some
great trotting at an unexpected moment.
The failure of Nancy Hanks to break
the record at this trial shows an amount
of speed and bottom that may take away
the laurels of Maud S before the career of
the younger mare is ended, and possibly
before the present trotting season is
closed.
DONT VULGARIZE IT.
It is not pleasant to learn that the Chi
cago Committee on Ceremonies has made
a contract to spend $100,000 on twenty
four enormous "floats" which are to rep
resent "The Progress of the Centuries" in
the opening ceremonies of the World's Fair.
The "floats," as described byT,be Chicago
press, are fearfully and wonderfully
made, and will give spectators an impres
sion of the nightmare, unless wind and
storm mercifully intervene to prevent
their infliction on the public.
The "float" is a survival of the. Dark
Aces, which has heretofore been confined
to Mardi Gras shows, circuses nd politi
cal demonstrations. It is always crude in
conception and uncouth in execution. It
is interesting, like the Lord Mayor's show,
in snowing what the people of the dim
ages regarded with delight, and. as illus
trating the survival of the childish tastes
e ven to' the present day. For the inanities
of Mardi Gras foolery lit is not inappro
priate; but it is as mqch out of, place in
connection with an exhibition of the most
advanced civilization as a hog would be
as Instructor in the differential calculus.
Let us hope that Chicago will thlnket
ter of its '(float" stupidity. It inaugurates
the great exhibition with an aroma of
Mardi Gras nonsense and circus procession.
The people will not be attracted to Chi
cago' byx float monstrosities, and-if that
sort of thing attains prominence the vast
majoritywho wish to see the finest and
best products of modern art and industry
will be most apt to stay away.
CHOLERA DANGERS.
Our cablegrams from Europe indicate
that the cholera epidemk; as a whole is
rather increasing than abating. So far as
Russia is concerned, indeed, it is evident
"that the worst of the matter is not alio wed-
to reach the outside world, and probably
never will be.1 It is pitiable, and worse,
that with the misery extant in his present
possessions the Czar should court further
trouble by seeking to extend his borders
instead of devoting every effort to internal
remedies and reform.
The news that rags from cholera-infected
districts have been discovered in an
unloading vessel by the health authorities
of London.shows a fresh opening for vigil
ance. It ta probable that no rags,, other
than those worn by immlsrants, are now
imported in America from plague-infested
or other neighborhoods, but no scrutiny
can be too keen as a safeguard in inspect
ing incoming merchandise as well as hu
manity at such a time as this. Let us do
everything possible to keep the disease
without our boundaries, and meantime ob
serve all the laws of cleanliness and
health.

It is really surprising that Piatt and Hill
do not resort to the toss of a coin or some
similar chance settlement as to which of
them shall throw the vote of New York to
the other. Forthey both appear to be actu
ated by purely pergonal motives, and each
seems as confident as the other that he owns
his party entiraly in his State and almost in
the country as a whole. If the one could but
buy np the other in some way ho would Just
add the final straw which would break the
back of his party's endurance, and lead to
the country's happiness by an iy.ter disre
gard of his wishes.

Ok the twelfth page ot this issue will be
found a list of Pittsburg property exempt
from taxation. The total foots up $33 000,000,
which, added to the taxable valuation under
the last triennial assessment, mates the ag
gregate valuation of city property $300,000,
000. The long list will repay perusal by
thoughtful taxpayers, while its big total
added to the assessed valuation will pot
Pittsburg's property wealth up a peg or two
in the comparative tables of taxation statis
tics. Smithfield STKEETwouldhaveasweeter

The statement is made that British finan

ceptibility to fluctuations than to any real

A LOOK AROUND.
It is about time somebody put spikes in
the iron railing about the Court House or
that a policeman was kept employed there
driving away the sitters. This has become a
Paradise for fellows who expect to get a job
next week. They fonl the pavement with
toby butts and tobacco, and the air with
anecdotes and oaths. It is about the last
place in town suitable for such an assem
blage, and it is the dutv of somebody to see
to it that the. splendid building is not pol
luted by such gatherings. Nine-tenths of
the men who go there have no sort of busi
ness theie. If there is no fund for an active
policeman, why not ran a wire ont from the
dynamo and charge the railing with elec
tricity, which is always vigilantand doesnot
do business at any of the saloons?
Vale KnoxianaI In a neat but tiny
little cottage on Highland avenne. on the
right hand as yon went toward the reservoir
and within a few doors of Station street,
there was for 20 years and more a shrine sa
cred to the younger portion of the popula
tion of that section of the East End. Thither
came toys and girls from the adjacent pub
lic school, or from the great or little houses
along the avenue or in the bye-streets.
Thither also came nursery maids with
helpless charges in perambulators, and
thither, too, came even a clientele of elders,
, and they were all conjured to this wee shop
by the magic of lollypops. They were ot
astonishing sweetness and eternal fresh
ness, and those wondrous arrangements of
molasses and peanuts which appeal to the
Juvenile stomaens in squaies at a cent per
square; there, also, were to be found small
pancake-shaped masses of brown, prickly
with stringy cocoanut or cubes of chocolate,
within which lurked a Bweetened whltyness
of paste;' butterscotch in neat papers, real
old-fashioned, seductive outterscotch, and
those bullets which require no gun to kill
withal, the' cheerful "bulleyes;" and then
for extieme youth careoring gingerbread
horses and astonishing dogs with pink eyes.
And above all was the kindly smile and old
time courtesy of Miss Knox herself, who
bad sold sweeties in her time to the mothers
and for aught I know to the grandmothers
of those who are 'now debutantes or belong
to colloge football teams! Alas it has all de
parted, and where the bit of cottage stood a
row of modern brlckeries is now in the
bands of paintf r and decorator. The good
old lady lives, I believe, and lives in com
fort somewhere, and there is many a tongue
to wish her peace and sunshine in her time
of twilight.
All hail Chicago! Wbuld she could lend
Pittsburg some of her self-esteem and
energy. If there is anyone on earth who
can solve the old problem how can a man
lift bimself over a fence by his own boot
straps? it is some gentleman from the City
of Protoplasm. A few days ago, in speak
ing of the ill effeots of labor disorders npon
Pittsburg and the need for coirectlve action
on our part, I alluded to the fact that men
who bad desired to erect two large manu
facturing plants here had given np the idea
because of these tioubles. Bifore 48 honrs
elapsed an energetic agent of a Chicago con
cern waited upon me in the office to obtain
the names and addresses of those concerned
in th&jwo ventures alluded to in order to
lay before them the advantages of bis town.
It did not matter what tliey wanted to
manuiacture, he felt sure Chicago was just
the place for them and could offer unrivaled
facilities for their business. If he did not
happen to Have locations to suit he had
friends who did have plenty of the right
kind. Now, what can you hope to accom
plish against such nerve and promptness as
this? It is the very essence of Chicago. It
explains the growth of the place by one
single incident. Put this in your hat all ye
strolling Pittsbnrgers and forget not tbe
place of your habitat. Let the country hear
ot Pittsburg occasionally and see what will
come of it. '
It was on a street in Algiers. A man
was walking along in an aimless manner
amid a crowd of all colors and races when
he heard some one say: "Hello! Dr. Frank!"
He stopped in astonishment and turned

hands with another stranger near him both
English. One of them .was. Dr. Frank Mc
Donald, of PittsDnrg, who wrote to a friend
saying lie had Just been able to getaway
from Monte Carlo, bnt he had a friend who
kne,w a man who had enough money to get
them all home. He is still in Algiers.
The dullness of business is pending many

nothing doing at home. Speaking ot holi

recently, I saw the following sign on te

THE DEAD F0KCE SILL.
Senator Biprgln Says It's No Longer a
Fac'or In th Election.
Bedfoup, Pa., Aug. 16. tneciiU United
States Senator Anthony Higgins, of Dela
ware, who has been resting fit the Springs
since, the adjournment of Congress, was
seen to-day beiore taking the train for his
home, where he goes to take part in the
work of the State Convention, which meets
on the 18th, and was asked as to what extent
the force bill would, figure in the coming
campaign in the Southern States. He said:
"It is becoming apparent that the cry of
the force bill as an Issue is dead for North
ern constituencies. Ic is not a lively ques
tion, touching no inteiest Immediate to
them, and the march of events is disclosing
w hat has long been known to those having
an intimate knowledge ot opinion In the
Southern States, tlint it is no longer of any
weight there. The Southern people no
longer fear negro rule. They know such a
tiling is impossibla. Twenty-five years have
passed since that has prevailed, and thoy
will be no longer restrained from taking
sides on the living issues oi the day. nor be
frightened by those who hare so long been
in power and control in their States and
counties, but who have lost touch with tbe
living Issues ot the day.
"The result in Alabama has opened the
eyes of the North to the feeling in the South,
and to my mind, the significance and in
terest oi the situation rests not so much on
the peculiar views and dogmas as upon the
fact of the change ltseir. It is a proround,
if not a wild and violent Breaking of the
Southern whites, especially the rarmers
with their Domociatic past. The planting
class is extinct even in Virginia, the country
of tlie aristocracy of the ante bellum days.
It is a thing absolutely of the past. It Is
now the Farmers' not the Planters' Alli
ance. The gentlemen, the Colonel", the
brigadiers who led the cotton States and
drove the border States into the Kebellion,
to-day seem to have lost their constituen
cies. They find they cannot conj lire the re
calcitrants by the issues of the war.
The new South, the South of the farmers,
of tbe mine and mill owners, fighting by
thrift and industry and economy the battle
of life of to-day will not be turned aside by
the events of long years before. Whether
the movement will go far and deep enough
to give the electoral votes of any or many of
the Southern States to the People's party or
the Republicans, time and the election alone
will show, but elec.lon prophets will proba
bly have to revise their calculations."

New York, Aug. 16. The Herald repro
duces the following from its European edi
tion: "An-interview with Pope Leo XIII. by the
well-known Parisian lady Journalist, 'Sev
erine,' is published this morning by our en
terprising cotemporary, the Figaro. The ob
ject of the interview was to obtain from the
Pope some expression of opinion with re
gard to the prominence into which the Semi
tic question has recently been brought; or, to
adopt the diplomatic language or the Figaro
correspondent, to find out, not what Leo IIL
disapproved or, but what he did not ap
prove 6 f.
"After a kind welcome from His Holiness,
Mme. Severine spoke of Jesus Christ nar-
L doning his executioner and a3ked if it were
not a Christian's duty to follow His ex
ample. "The Pope replied tljat Christ had bled for
every man, without exception, but ohiefly
for those not believing in Him, they having
the'greater need. He had loft the Cbnrch
the mission of bringing them all back to tbe
truth, not by persecution, butby persuasion.
AH violence against persons was contraiy
to the will of God, and contrary to God's
teachings. The words 'War' and 'Bellgion'
did not go together.
"'There remains. Holy Father, the war of
race,' told f'e interviewer.
1" What races? All are the issue of Adam,
whom Gnd created. What does it matter if
individuals have a different coior and a dis
similar aspect according to their environ
ments, since their souls are all of the same
essence? If we send our missionaries to the
infidels, to the heretics and to the savages it
Is because all human boings are mark it
well their cultures. There are some happy
enough to have faith, and there are those to
whom it is our duty to give it. That is all.
They are all equal before the Lord, since
their very existence Is the work of His will.'J
"The Pope then referred: to the devotion
of the Catholic priests toward the Israelites
when the Ghetto existed at Borne, and
added, 'and when tbe populace wished to
massacre Hebrews, they (the Hebrews) put
themselves under tbe protection ot the
Pope, and be spread bis protecting influence
over them.' '
"'But,' continued the head of the Catholic
Church, 'if the Churoh is an indulgent
mother, with arms ever openfor those who
come to her or who return to ber again, It
does not follow that those of the impious
who deny her should be her preferred ones.
She has no anger against them; they are her
grief, her sore: bnt she keeps her predilec
tion for the faithful who console her and
who are her fervent and pious sons. If the
Church has a mission to defend the weak,
she has also a mission to defend herself
against all attempt at oppression. And now,
alter -o many onslaughts, the reign of
money has come. They wish to conquer the
Church and rule th'e people with money.
But neither the Churoh nor the people will
allow them.'
" 'Then, Holy Father, the great Israelites?'
put in the interview er.
"The Pope said: 'I am for tbe lesser ones,
the humble, the dispossessed those whom
our Lord loved.'
"Leo XIII. would say nothing. more on the
Semitic question.
"Before this Interesting interview came to
a close the Pope expressed in unmistakable
langnago his wish to avoid politics. 'My
kingdom is not of this world,' his Master bad
said.
"One last question. Did his Holiness ap
prove of the conduct of Abbe Jacot.the
Alaclan-LoraIner, who preached to "the
French of that State forget fulness of their
mother country, telling them that In this he
was interpreting tbe Pope's command
ments? .'I deplore It, said Leo XIIL 'I love
France. It is toward her that my eyes
always turn whenever my voice is heard in
these chambers wheie I have wandered for
15 years without ever going out.'"

THE DEAR, DEAD PAST
Has Come in Coaching, the Brag Being
Laid Aside In Pitt sbarg for This Month
Spite of Thermometers There are En
gagements tmlil Snmmr5oclety.
dgust is not a coaching month in
Pittsburg. Zither the devotees of this mode
of entertainment are out-of-town, or they
are pans ng for breath and September. Some
of our very swell girls are in close confab
with tbeir dressmakers and no doubt in a
short time will be seen wearing somo very
smart frocks on the dag, Which we may ex
pect in lull blast in a few weeks again.
Apropos of coaching, it is interesting to
note its 'decline and fall In England and its
revival in 'France, where Americans are
daily distinguishing themselves. England
has had her heydey or coaching. Twenty
years ago it was in full glory, when the own
ers and drivers were such gentlemen and
genuine lovers of sport as Sir Henry de
Bath, the Earl of Bectivn, Lord Macduff,
now the Duke of File, and the Prince or
Waies' son-in-law, Colonel Clitheroe, and
others. It was then that Mr. Tiffany, of
New Yoik, who lias been a constant
lover of the sport, drove his coach
over the Brighton road, which was
turned over to him by tbe Duke
of Beaulort, the present English authority
on the niceties of four-in-hand driving.
There is a certain unwritten social law in
England, which makes the road a man
drives his coach over.Iils property for coach
ing, and the-man who trespasses witli an
other coach is considered nothing more nor
less than a pirate. Tbe Duke of Beaufort
had been running a coach over the Brighton
road, and when he retired it was his privi
lege to name a coaching successor. Tbe
coaches wore patronized by the cream of
Ennlisli swelldom in those days. Now En
glish coaching has degenerated from a sport
into a high-priced, long-distance omnibus
business. Now in Paris coaching is nhat
coaching was in England, and its existence
is due to the fostering care of Mr. James
Gordon Bennett. He had a coach estab
lished in 18S2, which ran from Paris to Ver
sailles. ,
These certainly is need of a fine cafe
and restaurant on Sundays in tbe East End,
which is filled with people always this love
ly weather, enjoying tne delights of pedes
triunism in the jparks or on'the suburban
roads. Every Sunday there are lamenta
tions over the necessity of breakibg up an
agieeable outing party at dinner hour, be
cause there is nowhero it can go, unless
some hostess is kind enough to throw open
her hou-e and take on the burden of enter
tainment. Besides, the want is lor some
picturesque roadnouse, with big piazzas, set
in charming grounds, where people can
drive to for a good dinner and spend an
hour or so pleasantly. What more delight
ful .than if the Kenmawr Hotel
would supply this want? But, un
lortunately being a residential hotel
the combination of general entertainment of
the publio with natural family excluslve
ness could not be .conducted snccesslutly.
Even boarding houses look on Sunday even
ing as a period of rest, and usually are satis
fied to serve a bread and water, pick-ine-up
meal, which as poi-luck only wouid do to in
vite one's triends to partake of.
Society women in this country have not
yet adopted the Engli-h fashion of per
mitting their photographs to be sold in
shops. According to a New York photog
rapher, theie are only four women who
allow their pictured representation to be
hawked around, and they are: Mrs. Burke
Rnclie and Mrs. Jack Leslie an I Mrs. More
ton Krewen,whoare Lady Randolph Clinrcli
ill sisters. Before her null rlage. Miss Sal
lie Har.ous affected posing just as much us
a professional model. , .
Ladies are complaining energetically
about the discomfort of the low banging
branches of tbe trees on tbe boulevards of
the East End streets, which, in some cases,
have been known to attach themselves to
bonnets aud hats, very much to tbelr disar
rangement. At parts of Shady
Lane, Fifth avenue, Alder s'rret
Howe and Walnut, it is impossible,
to carry an open parasol, andin wet weather
the shower bath the unlucky person'brings
about him who ventures out with a ral.-ed
umbrella, is not likely to be soon forgotten.
It would not harm tlie trees if they were
Eruned cnnsideiably ox their lower
ranches, and it would be a decided relief
to pedestrians.

A slight error crept into some of the
