PittsburE Sees n Great Light.

The people of Pittsburg are rubbing their
eyes and trying to discern II possible what
is the matter with their city. They are get
ting sunburned like the denizens of other
cities who expose themselves rashly to the
rays Of The MONDAY sun. Several Pitts
burg residents have been astonished of late
by their ability to recognize old acquaint-
anccs across the street. The unique and
appropriate title Of Smoky City which has
from time immemorial attached itself to the
town Of which Chris Magee is the boss is
misnomer. The city is smoky no longer
and the surprise of the Pittsburg ladies
who visit other cities in winter time and
find that snow is white will cease. The
snow will be white in Pittsburg after this.
The irrepressible oil man did it. After
lighting the rest Of the world and accumu-
lating a surplus of forty millions of barrels
Of Gil with which to light his own way to
bankruptcy, 1t occurred to one or two of
him that II the more than Egyptian dark
ness which hung over Pittsburg could by
any means he made luminous there would
be no more worlds for the searcher for light
to conquer. Boring for oil In the neighbor-
hood Of Pittsburg had proved n disappoint-
ment as far as finding the low-priced fluid
was concerned. But the oil prospector
found gas, and being quick to make the
best Of whatever his drill turned up, he con-
ceived the idea of turning an honest penny
and Kidding Pittsburg of smoke by intro
ducing his new find as a fuel In the place of
coal. lie has succeeded In both branches of
his undertaking beyond his most sanguine
expectations. HIS pocket overflows with
money, and TO the ordinary Pittsburg eye
grass is green and the sky blue, just the
same as to other eyes.
1t is this latter phase Of the natural gas
question that leads to the belief that despite
all danger from explosions the new fuel has
come to stay--that is, just as long as the
supply lasts. In spite of all precautions
that can be taken 1t is fair to presume
that gaspipos will leak and explosions take
place occasionally, and whoever happens in
the vicinity will get scared surely and hurt
probably. But having tasted the sweets Of
sunshine and been enabled TO enjoy the
hitherto unknown luxury OF clean cuffs and
collars, the average Pittsburger will gladly
face the occasional risk Of cremation In a
hurry rather than return to the SCOT and
darkness of the olden time, Pittsburg is to be
congratulated Oh the optimistic views Of the
world 1t is to enjoy IN the future, and the
gas men deserve all the money they can
make by their new and successful expert

THE "DAD hoy" At ALBAuG1rs.
The spectacular play at Albaugh's Opera
House will give way next week for comedy,
and "Peck's Bad Boy" with the Atkinson COM
pauy, will be the attraction. This company
has made an extended trip west, going as far
as the Pacific coast, and has done q most ex.

well selected and each individual suited for
the part he or she has been assigned to fill.
Since its production here the play has been
almost completely reformed, much OF the old
material having been cxpungcd and now mat
ter inserted, and now the piece is well con-
nCcied and as rendered by this company
makes n performance well worth witnessing.

A nnnsilnn AnswerctI.

"Supposing an Arctic expedition should
succeed IN rca hing the north pole 1nd, af-
ter sufficient exploration to bring N!l mys-
teries to light, should return In safety, what
good result would have been accom-
plishcd ~ Thus writes an esteemed cor
respondent Of The REPUBLICAN.
The question is practical and shall be
promptly answered. 1t Is our belief that,
until the north pole has been reached and
all mystery connected Herewith has been
dissipated, there will be no end, or any long
pause, in the fearfully costly efforts to
achieve that object. We believe the human
mind is incapable Of giving up this quest,
and that II It goes ON for centuries costing
thousands OF lives It will still continue to
lie prosecuted to ultimate accomplishment
or the end of time.
But II an expedition should reach the
pole, fully explore all regions contiguous,
and returning report that nothing existed
there but horrors Of ice that no aid to
commerce, no practical good OF any kind
could I've gained by further risks In that di-
rcction, the incentive to exploring would
be gone and the awful waste of life and
treasure would cease.
We have not Il doubt that II the north
pole is ever reached, the men who get there
will find that there is no reason why others
should follow their examples. In some
peculiarly exceptional season It is more
than possible that ship may go to the
northernmost point Of the globe. When
this has been donc-and not till then-will
the long succession of Arctic horrors have
an end.

Breakfast Table Letter To the Presi-
dent.


dent.
Mn. PRESIDENT: The present week must ever
linger In your memory Us one IN which your
administration has been indorsed by the De.
mocracy New York In state convention and
by letter by the Hon. Dorman d. Eaton, of the
civil service commission. Your own utteranccs
also form n conspicuous part of the history of
the week. The renewal OF your declarations
approving civil service reform and the cutorce-
ment of the present law designed TO promote
II are not in accord with the plat form of the
New York Democracy, which denounces the
present machinery of the law and urges
the revocation OF all past action favorable to
present incumben,s 1t also expresses solici.
tudc concerning the impairment OF the powers
of the executive and the chiefs of bureaus in
making appointments to Office under the terms
of this requirement 1t must be manifest to
your mind that the Democracy OF New York
are opposed TO a substantial civil service law,
and this in the face of your bold leadership so
recently uttered favorins faithful execution
Of the law.
With many II is matter of surprise that
yourself and Dorman B. Eaton are convinced
that your Cabinet are even friendly to the
civil service reform. This opinion is not
shared by the people. A careful investigation
oithc acts of your Cabinet ministers. 1t is be-
licvCd, would change your reliance, and when
Congress meets It will dawn upon your vision
that n large majority Of Democratic members
Will favor the repeal Of the law. This action
is plainly foreshadowcd in the declarations of
the Democracy Of New York.
Senator Eustis, Of Louisiana, Democrat, In
comparing Mr.. Gladstone, as n successful re.
former, with your presidential reform policy
says that Gladstone had, first, prc.eminent
position asa leader, by virtue OF his remarkable
intellectual power; he alta, X ,d and uprooted

A bust Of Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, the late
distinguished pbilanthropist and Friend, of
England, will be unveiled at the Friends
toarding school in Providence, r. l., In a
few days. The material is Carrara marble,
and the work was done by the eminent Eng
lish sculptor, William Theed, whose group
Of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort Is
so much priced by the former. The bust is
pronounced an almost perfect reproduction
by those who knew Mrs. Fry. She is clad In
aQuaker shawl and cap OF the period, the
model for the latter being one that be-
longcd to John Bright's mother, and John
Bright's sister wore 1t to give the sculptor
his required sittings. This bust will COM
plete an interesting group in the possession
OF the Providence school. 1t consists of a
bust Of John Bright, portrait Of the poet
Whittier, and the bust Of Mrs. Fry. In

other night when the city was lighted up by
the flames of the confagration which de-

piles of debris that met the gaze of the
thousands who went to look upon the ruin
