Members Of the Pan-AmerIcan Congress
Entertained at Ashland.
LEXINGTON, KY, November 4-The morn
ing was one full of enjoyment for the inter-
national American excursionists. They awoke
refreshed from the sound slumber, and as soon
as they had breakfasted the Reception Com
mittee was in readiness. Carriages were taken,
and in the clear and bracing atmosphere of a
Kentucky fall day the party started for Ash
land, which was the home of Henry Clay.
Here they found an old-time Southern man
sion, and courtly Southern welcome from
Major Henry Clay Mcdowell, their host. The
with surprise that the delegates received the
information that all of these verying types of
female loveliness were descendants of Henry
Clay
After the reception and few minutes spent
in chatty conversation the visitors we're taken
to the rear of the house, and here, on lawn
heavily carpeted with the famed blue grass and
bounded by walks whose bordering shade trees
were planted by Henry Clay, they saw Ken
tuckys chief pride. a magnificent array Of
trotting and thoroughbred stations, among
them the famous Dictator, Bonnie McGregoE
Robert McGregor, Jay Gould, Duquesne, Bel

Stranger, Allendorf, Lord Russell, Fayette

tice. They were then driven to the famous
cemetery where the remains of Henry Clay Iie

in his honor.
At Il:35 the party returned to their train and
started for Cincinnati, where they arrived about

FINE POINT.

The decision of the Supreme Court revers-
ing the ruling of the Mercer County Court
under which Mr.. Joseph Fleming, of this
city, was convicted of selling liquor in that
county by shipping it G. o. D, on a mail
order, relieves Mr.. Fleming of the unpleas-
ant possibility of serving sentence for an
action in which no violation of the law was
intended. The case turns entirely on the
question whether, in such transaction, the
sale is made at the place of business of the
defendant or in the place where the goods
are delivered by the carrier who collects the
money. The majority of the Supreme Court,
like the majority of the public, take the
view that the sale was made when the con-
signment was packed in accordance with the
mail order and delivered to the carrier as
the agent of the buyer. The minority Judges
hold differently. declaring the carrier to be
the agent of the seller. 1t is a very fine
point, and furnishes a. striking illustration
of the hair-splitting on which very impOr-
tant cases may turn.

SUPPRESS THE BoMB-rHRowERs.

The people who, whether under the idea
that it was practical joke or as a result of
religious prejudice, threw gas pipe stuffed
with explosives into the headquarters of the
Salvation Army on the Southside should be
detected and given a severe lesson on the
legal consequences of such acts. Whatever
may be the eccentricities and extravagances
of the Salvation Army, its members are en-
titled to protection in life and limb. If
either hoodlums or fanatics adopt the instru-
ments of anarchy to attack them, the safety
of society is interested in making an exam
pie OF the offenders. On the charitable sup
position that the act was committed by
idiots who imagined itwas funny, the lesson
is necessary that the true humor of such acts
is not brought out until those who commit
it have been given term of penal labor to
the full limit of the law.

suppression of anything so Philistine as
the street renditions of popular airs, stroke
of municipal genius; but the New York
Board of Aldermen is the last place in the
world where that class of opinion would be
expected to break out For the popular
taste it is rather pertinent that this body
has succeeded in selecting the one nuisance
of the streets which least requires suppress
sion.
The ''little German band" may be lacking
in ensemble and the hand organ i s undoubt-
edly cranky but there are worse qualities
than those to be discovered in city streets.
After the municipal rule has suppressed
the professions which seek to import to this
country the quarrels of another hemisphere,
has silenced the ear-piercing fife and put
away the oilcloth capes and torches of the
political marchers, has suppressed the OBJ
structive and deceptive fakir, and cleared
the streets of all other nuissnces, great and
small, it may be in harmony with the gen.
eral rapidity of administration to wipe out
the street bands and organ grinders.
But until the greater and more noxious
nuisances are suppressed in the streets, much
is to be said on behalf of the music and
monkeys, beloved of the children, and
chiefly offensive by their poverty, both Of
votes and Doodle.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Helen Warren Kay.

Helen Warren, wife ofJ. Conrad Kay, Lieuten-
ant Major of the Eighteenth Regiment N. g. p,
died yesterday afternoon at the Monongahela
House. Her death has created genuine sorrow
not only among the family Of her husband here,
but also among the lives which have been made
brighter by her sweet presence. In Plttsburg
society she was great favorite. No gathering
was considered complete without Mr.. and Mrs,
Conrad Kay. She was gifted with ready tact
kind heart and sunny temper, which endeared
her to all. There never was a young matron here
more generally or deservedly popular. In her
own house Mrs. Kay was charming hostess, spar
ceedine as few hostesses do. Her recent Illness
has indeed bereayed Mr.. Ray, and he has the sin
and esteemed his wife since she came to Pittsburg
Ms KaJ's illness was contracted by nursing
mr. oldest son, who was ILL., The close attention
She gave him caused her health to break down and
the strain carried her of. She was the daughter
of William Warren. q prominent resident of Chi
cago. She had been married about seven years
and leaves two little sons.

and Miss Julia Umpstead, of Valencia, were
married on Halloween at the residence OF the
brides parents at Valencia. The wedding was
witnessed by great many friends Of the bride

were numerous and expensive.
IT looks as if some of the reported many
weddings that have been wandering around
in Sewickley, minus groom or bride, had mean
dered up this way. where everything necessary
for the performance of wedding was found.
No less than four will take place to-day.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUEspAY. NoV. 5, IS89.
THE VOTE TODAY.

While Ohio and Virginia will open their
eyes this morning to the culmination in
each State of the most closely-contested po-
litical campaign that either has known,
Pennsylvania will TRANQUILITY cast msjori-
ty of its ballots for Boyer, Republican, for
State Treasurer. Extraordinary events are
required in these years to raise the slightest
doubt as to Pennsylvania's vote. Nothing
of the sort has arisen in the present canvass.
The Republicans estimate from $4,000 to
A, 900 majority. If they get less it will be
a surprise.
In Allegheny county there is just one
contest which attracts notice, that for the
District Attorneyship. Though the political
forces have been somewhat more active on
the part of Rowand within the past few
DAYS, it is still beyond belief that, against
the unmistakable and abundantly justified
set of public opinion, there is any chance,
however remote, Of Rowand's election.
Nothing but an extensive detection of
Democrats from Johnston can defeat the
latter, who is a capable and fit man for the
Office. There is no likelihood of any such
contingency, which would be utterly cause
less. Meanwhile, great numbers of Repub-
lieans will feel constrained to vote fatty
against the Republican candidate whose
nomination meets with most conspicuous
disfavor. as well within as without the party
ranks.
So much for the strong probabilities to-
day. But it is the duty of every citizen to
vote. Unless actual ballots are cast predic-
tIons and opinions 60 for nothing.
1t is well to bear this all-important fact
in mind during voting hours. Everyone
should go to the polls.

Competitors could

monopoly. Competitors could not
be allowed in the profitable
enterprise. Players were bought and sold,
as they themselves say, "like sheep" The
result of the monopoly is that while it was
sustained for some time by its form of Or
ganization, its abuses have destroyed it en-
tirely. The Brotherhood will be able to
start grounds of their own. The League
will have to quit the field or organize their
teams with unknown PLAYERS. When it is
seen how easy it is to break up such COM
binations as have recently existed, the life
of any that may be formed in the future
will not be long.
The baseball monopolies did not increase
the cost of life to the public. They were
no such burdens as those which tax the peo-
Piles food, fuel and light. 1t is to be wished
that other and more iniquitous combina-
tions could be broken up as easily as this
seems likely to be.

The Bijou Theafer.

There was an expectant ripple of merrimenr
plainly visible at the Bijou last night, even be-
fore the curtains parted, which rose to a louder
pitch little later, and swelled into an enor-
nous volume many times thereafter. Every
seat in the house was occupied by an appreci-
ative auditor, and the simple appearance of
either of the leading characters upon the stage
provoked round of laughter and applause.
Interest of course centered in the antics of
Messrs. Evans and Hoey, as J. McCorEer and
Old HoSS, and their every movement was
greeted by manifestations of delight. James T.
Galloway and Mr.. J. Sullivan, as Captain Kidd
and Farmer BeEonlont were also successful in
attracting their full share of attention, while
the Innocent Kidd, as interpreted by Miss
Minnie French, captured more hearts than that
of the omnipresent book agent. The solos
rendered by Miss Day were we'll
received, while the work of the
Olympia Quartet called forth encore after
encore. The other members of the company
are fully up to the standard. To combine
politics with pleasure the election returns will
be read from the stage tonight, and even if
your candidate is defeated you will go home
smiling.

The ordinance passed by the Aldermen, and
signed by the Mayor, putting an end to the
music Of street bands and hand organs IN the
city. has at last gone into pretty general effect.
For day or so after the silly resolution became
a city law. the street musicians had not heard
Of it, and they footed and caroled away as mer-
rily as ever. Finally they read ABOUT the ordi-
nance in the newspapers, or we're warned by the
police, and then some of them were arrested.
1t is believed in every instance 50 far that the
police magistrates before whom the unwitting
offenders have been arrsigned, have suspended
sentence or discharged. To say that there is
gloom ON the East side Of town and in the
places where the street musicians most did
frequent. Is putting the matter very feebiy.
The people miss the music, and complain IF its
loss. and If the question Of retaining the organs
and bands were put to vote the organs and
bands would stay by large majority.

Catherine Young. aulatto girl. told q long
story in a Jersey City police court, this morn
ing. of how she had been deceived and swfndled
by her false lover. Winfield Scott Matthew'S .

accepted his proposal Of marriage. Friday
evening was agreed upon as the date of the

to rent dress suit for himself. Winfield Scott
took the money and spent it all in filing him
self with Jersey lightning. On Friday night
neither he, the S45, nor the wedding gown. nor
the hired dress suit materialized at GATHERINGS
house. The wedding guests who turned out to
find the missing bridegroom discovered him at
midnight, dead drunk, in saloon on the water
front. He was locked up on the charge Of

Makes Her Reliable.
NEW YORK, November 4.-One Of the lay
delegates TO the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, just closed, was
l.. Bradford Prince, Governor of the Territory
of New Mexico. The Governor has
received the first copies OF the
Constitution of : the State Of New
Mexico adopted by the recant Constitutional
Convention at Santa Fe, and, in announcing
the fact he incidentally expressed the conFlc-
tion that the document presented virtues far
beyond those of the Constitution OF any other
State in the Union.
"The population of New Mexico,n said Mr..
Prince. lis about 100000 divided almost
equally between native Msxicans and native
Americans. Very little of the foreign element
reaching the Atlantic coast comes to New
Mexico. There is prevalent idea in the East
that the Mexican element Is an
argument against admission to State
hood. but this should not be
accented. The mixture of Mexican n0n-prog-
ressiyeness with the over-sanguine booming"
instincts of adventurous American pioneers
will produce a conservative community, whose
growth will be normal and healthy, and whose
Substantial methods will protect 1t from such
bane as large public debt
New Mexico is undoubtedly Republican"
continued the speaker. 1.-The Territory has it
is true been represented bya Democratic Del
egate for the last six years, but that was en-
tirely the result of local causes"

THE BASEBALL REVOLT.

The Brotherhood of Baseball Players lays
its case before the public in card which
will be found elsewhere. 1t is one of the
peculiarities of the national game that its
features OF organization have become a mat
ter for as prominent and grave discussion as
the tariff or the trusts. But that is the out
come of professional sports; and it is likely
to be recognized everywhere that the players
make strong statement of their case.
Indeed the dispute is an illustration of the
results of attempted monopoly in business.
The baseball business having got down to a
pecuniary basis, it was organized strictly on
the principle OF close corporation and
