fTTClkl. TELEGRAM TO THE CISPATCn.l
New Yobk, Sept 14. A contingent of
Indianians was the attraction yesterday at
Republican headquarters. It included Gen
eral Michencr and J. N. Huston. Their
testimony was that, while Illinois and Wis
consin doubtless needed attention, Indiana,
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
would without doubt decide the battle.
They deprjeated all expenditures in Ala
bama, the Virginias and the Carolina,
Sir. Carter for a week has been overrun
with Southern Republicans, who have
argued the possibilities of the Republicans
carrying several States below Mason and
Dixon's line. The Indianians, Dave Mar
tin, Senator Quay's personal represenative,
and E. C Keiens, of Missouri, ex-Senator
Thomas C Piatt and others advise that the
work be done in the four States mentioned.
These advisers believe that things will
right themselves for the Republicans in
Illinois and Wisconsin in a Presidental
year. The doubters even have great faith
in the influence of Uncle Philetus Sawyer.

GROVER'S TARIFF VIEWS.
lie Cannot Staucl One or the riatforrn
Planks ami Will Modify It.
New Yokk, Sept. 14. The Herald pub
lishes the following: "Mr. Cleveland, in
his letter of acceptance, intends, it is said,
to depart from a strict interpretation of
the tariff plank of the platform adopted at
Chicago and to appeal to the country on a
carefully prepared modification of it. I
hear that much correspondence is going
back and forth between the Democratic Na
tional headquarters and Gray Gables about
the matter. What Mr. Cleveland is under
stood to object to particularly is the sen
tence in the platform: 'We declare it to be
a fundamental principle of the Democratic
party that the Federal Government has no
constitutional power to impose and control
tariff except for purpose of revenue only,
and we demand that collection of such taxes
shall be limited to necessities of the Gov
ernment when honestly and economically
administered.'
. "This utterance was not satisfactory to
Mr. Cleveland at time of its adoption. It
was a part of the substitute inserted by a
combination of the extreme opponents ot a
tariff and Mr. Cleveland's ill wishers who
wanted to weigh him down. He will meet
it on the Hue of liis speech in Madison
Square Garden July 21, replying to the offi
cial notification of lus nomination in whicti
he complained of the inequality and unfair
ness of the tariff laws now in force. I was
told at the National headquarters that Mr.
Cleveland would discuss at length and com
pare differences between foreign and
domestic wages, showing that thev are not
correspondingly as great as the difierences
in the prices of commodities. The letter
will not be made p'iblic until the latter part
of next neek, and perhaps not until the
week following. In about two weeks Mr.
Cleveland will close up Gray Gables and
return to New York to 6tay till after the
election."

dismay to the combination in the South and
its manipulator:! in the Xortli. In lliino

distinctly on national Issues. Tho Repub

FL0WEHS AT THE GBAVE.
No Detth-Remlndlnc Designs Should Be
Csrd in Their Arrangement.
Until cremation becomes the accepted
means of disposing of our dead there will be
graves, writes H. H. Battles in the Septem.
ber Ladiea' Horns Journal. If the women of
the family go to the grave much of tbe dan
ger to their health can be lessened by
placing carpet, matting or boards on the
ground where they walk or stand. If it
storms there should be aa awning placed
that may protect them. Death has often
been traced to exposure at tbe grave. The
family are frequently in a low physical
condition caused by long aud anxious
watching, and are particularly susceptible
to cold.
Much of the horror of death may be
avoided by lining the grave with greens of
various kinds, also covering the mound of
soil with green. The flowers that were sent
to the house can be taken o the grave by a
special carriage and may be arranged before
the family arrives. It "is here where well
chosen flowers and designs are appieciated,
and see to it that there are none that will
leave an unhappy impression, such as a
clock pointing to" the "fatal hour," or a
broken ladder, which suggests climbing,
struggling, but at last falling, or a "setting
sun" with the rays two or three inches
wide, or words of poorly-shaped letters.
Let there be none of these, but in their
place let there be an abundance of greens
and flowers sent by loving iriends.
THE HEIGHT OF WAVES.
They Do Not Klso Qult so Much In Open
Sm ns on tho Kocky Co is'.
Youth's Companion.
That ocean waves run "mountain high"
no one ever believed unless he was very
credulous indeed. The phrase is a highly
exaggerated figure of speech. But the ob
servations of keepers of lighthouses in
exposed situations have proved that waves
run high enough, in great storms, to make
very respectable hills. Some time ago the
steamer which carries supplies to the light
house on Tillamook Rock, on the roast of
Oregon, was able to make a landing and
establish communication with the light
keepers for the first time in sir weeks.
The Tillamook Light has on previous oc
casions been washed completely over by
waves. The same thing has happened to
the Eddystone Light, oil the coast of Eng
land and to the light at Fleux-de-Brecnot,
off the coast of France, both of which are
upward of 150 feet in height.
It seems well established, therefore, that
waves may mount o a height of 150 feet
above the'gcneral level, where there are
rocks or other obstructions to cause them
to break. On the open ocean they w ould
hardly rise so high above the general level;
but as each wave is accompanied by a de
pression of corresponding depth, the vessel
which is carried through the trough of the
sea to the summit of the wave may truly be
said to climb a great hill of water.

DISPATCH, THURSDAY,
NEW STREET BOOMING.
Chief Bifjelow Says It Will Ho Opened
for Traffic in a Year.
SOT A SIDE ISSUE IN T11E SCHEME.
Denies That It Was Planned for Hotels or
fctreet Eailwaj3.
rnOPERTY HOLDERS ALL APPROVE IT
The prospects for the opening of the new
business avenue in the lower part of the
city grow more rosy each day. Yesterday
N. Holmes & Sons, the bankers, who own
three lots which the proposed avenue bi
sects, called on Chief Bigelow and assured
him of their hearty co-operation In getting
the improvement carried through. A re
presentative of Phipps & AValker, who own
the old Central rink property, part of which
will be taken for the avenue, also called
and signified their willingness to assist in
furthering the scheme.
Sinc9 it was first brought to public notice
there have beeu a number of schemes men
tioned, on account of which, it is alleged,
the new street is to De opened, one state
ment was that a hotel syndicate has pur
chased the old Fourth ward sub-district
school property and had planned the new
street to get a good frontage. In the deed
registry at City Hall a record was found
showing that within a few weeks Joseph
Home had bought the school property and
is still the owner. Other statements allege
the new street is planned to accommodate a
street railuay which is to run out to Thirty
sixth street, "cross over to Main street and
connect with the crosstoun line through
BloomGeld. When Chief Bigelow was asked
about these reports yesterday he denied any
knowledge of them.
"That street is purely a plan of my own
making," said he, "and any schemes assisted
by it have been made since THE Dispatch
announced it. I know nothing whatever
about them. I mentioned the plan before I
went to Europe to but two persons, the
draughtsman who drew the plan and Colonel
Herron, Mrs. Schenley's agent in this city,
My onl v object was to relieve the pressure in
the business section and to hasten the devel
opment of the Point district. Subsequently
I decided to open it to Thirty-sixth street.
"I contend that such a street is greatly
needed. Twenty persons bo will be af
fected have called on me to promise their
co-operation. They appreciate the great
enhancement in property values that' will
result and are willing to bear their
share of the damages. Never in my expe
rience in this office have I seen such una
nimity shown in legard to a costly improve
ment, "More than the necessary majority in
number and interest between Water street
and Sixth street have signified their ap
proval of the scheme. You can state that
by this time next year O'Hara avenue will
bo open for traffic. I hope to have it
graded and paved by that time. The or
dinance tor its location will be passed upon
at the next Council meeting, but the balance
of the necessary legislation will require
time, aud it will take all winter to secure
authority and make up the report of
viewers. Early next spring that will be
done, and the improvement will be pushed
through with all speed."
STRAIGHT TIPS ON THE STAGS.
Harr- Davis' Eden Museo has booked
some surprises for next Week.
A remarkable sword-swallower named
Cliquot will show his skill at tho World's
Museum-Theater next week. Theiowlllbe
many other attiactions.
The atti action at Harris' next week is
"The Hand of Fate." In It Miion Lefflng
well does a splendid hit of character actlm:
as the moiphine fiend, who is responsible
tor all the tiouble dlstiibuted throughout
the play.
The Impression made by "The Idea" i de
cidedly good. It has the making ot a flrst
class farco comedy in it, and the demand for
scats at tho Alvin shows ti.at Tub Disfatoh
w as riitht when it hailed "The Idea" as a suc
cess, even if a little ciude hero and there.
The improvement In "The Vendetta" fs so
marked since last season that it is no won
der that the Grand' Opera House has boen
drawing large audiences since hist Monday.
It pays to put such a good actor as Mr. Berg-mau-into
the leading rolo of a melodrama.
One of tho principal feature of next
week's bill at Harry Davis' Eden Musce
will bo tho Bedouin Arabs. Tho group con
sists of five natives of the Red Sea shot o
headed by Mahomed Bashaw Islaain. This
Is the first exhihitlon of the croup in tho
United States. They lire said to bo wonder
ful acrobats.
The clever acting of several individuals in
the cast of "Larry the Lord," as w eli as the
Deneficial operation of the ax since Monday
night, makes tho performance amusing
enough in many places. Mr. Graham's topi
cal song, with its susestions in music and
stylo of "What tho wild waves are saying,"
wins many encores.
Realism is tho chief thing aimed at in sen
sational melodrama thesodays.and "The Pay
Train," which comes to the Gland Opera
House next week, is Just chock full of realis
tio effects. A full train of cars crosses tlio
stago at full speed, a boiler explodes and a
number of other catastrophes of a startling
character take place. Besides the sensa
tional climaxus, tho company, headed by
Miss Florence Bindley, affords a good deal
of fun as well as stiong melodramatic
acting, i In Ueynolds and Drew A. Morton,
Pittsburg actors, are in the cast.
AVhex Hoyt began showine up tbe foibles
nnd crankiness of his fellow-man in farce
comedy, the general public received with
genuine iavorhls satiro upon railroad men
entitled "A Hole in the Ground." Thebag
gago smasher, tho Impudent station agent,
the runneis for rival rural hotels, the rail
road depot restauiant, with its antique
sandwiches and antedllnvian pies, the mix
ture of queer people onlv to be found on a
railroad, in all these people Mr. Hoyt found
abundant food for fun. "Tho Hole in tho
Ground" comes once more to the Duquesne
Theater next week with a company of more
than the average stremrtn, and it is said
that tliote aie so many novelties In the
piece as it is sent out this season that its old
liiends will hardly rocognize it. Frank
Lawton, the whistling commedian, and a
strong company will appe ir in it.
The so-called Irisn drama has fallen into
disrepute of late owing to tho amount of
rubbish that has been palmed off in Its name.
In fact, with exception of Boucicault'3 plays
a really clever work of Irish color has not
been seou hero in 10 or 15 years. It is there
foio refreshing to feel tolerably suio that
"Killarney," the new Irish play written by
Con T. Mmphy, is well constructed and
shows novel treatment of scenes in Irish
lire, or the play and of Katie Rmmett, the
New York critics have had nothing but
srood to say, and the- hit made by the piece
and tho star in Now Yoik seems to have
been unmistakable. Tho absence of those
chestnutty characters which wo oxpect to
find in an Irish drama, namely, the wicked
landlord, tho scheming attorney, the English
rake in a red uniform and the Irish colleen
all virtue and red checks, is ono of the
lecommendations of Killarney. Miss Em
mett made a bit in New York by her olever
acting, her sweet voico and her graceful
figure. The scenery is laid to bo unusually
beautiful and the costumes handsome and
historically correct.
