Chief Brown yesterday addressed the fol-

ladies as his decision in the appeal made to
him by them q few days ago:
PITTsBURG, June /, 1889.
To the WOmen'S Christian Temperance Union:
LADIEs-Tbe Board of Police, after having
carefully considered your application to hold
public meetings in the open air in this city
upon Sabbath day, beg leave to say:
First-That no public meetings Of any kind
can be permitted upon that day, where the
same are held upon any Of the public streets OF
thOroughfares Of this city.
Second-That the said board cannot grant .
license or privilege, or give permission to hold
such meetings in or upon private property, for
the reason that the use and occupation Of such
private property is outside the Jurisdiction Of
the Police Department Of the city of Plttsburg;
and, in the absence of disorder or commission
of acts contrary to law. the jurisdiction Of said
department would not attach.
Third-The said board is of the opinion that
the peace and good order Of this city upon the
Sabbath day would be best maintained and
secured by the absence of all public meetings
in the open air.
The said board recognizes the effectiveness
and the value of the efforts put forth by the
W. O. T. q. in the past, as well as the present,
and believes that in the future they desire to
conform to the law in all respects and after the
careful consideration aforesaid, and under adj
vice of the legal department. of the city, they
have arrived at the conclusions above set forth.
Very respectfully yours,
j. o. BROWN,
Chief Of the Department Of Public Safety.

AMONG THE ARTISTS.
Notes Taken In Piftsburg Galleries and
Gtudfos--A Few Fine Pictures.

Mr. JOHN j. HAMMER is soon to leave this
city and make his home in New York. He has
decided upon this move for some little time,
carried his class- at the School Of Design
through to the close of the term.
r. NJ. DE LoNGBRIE Is the name signed to
splendid water color painting of fine bunch
of hlaes, leaves and blossoms, noted at Giles
pies This artist is celebrated for his skill in
Hover painting. in which line his work Is
clear representation Of the natural forms and
colors.
THREE fine little water colors bearing the
name Of Miss Jennie Brownscombe, which are
shown at Gillespie,s. would be sufficient to in
dictate that the lady is finished artist, even to
one who had never before seen any OF her
work. They are all studies of youthful female
figures, or rather three-Quarter figures, very
gracefully posed, delicate in tone and particu-
Iarly well handled.
MISS JosfE MCDOWELL Is exceedingly
clever in her studies from life, as is indicated
by the very arsistically poised head executed
by her which might haye been seen at Giles
pies during the week. Miss Woodwell has
found very good subject for her pencil In one
of her classmates at the School of Design, and
this fact in addition to her skillful treatment
of the work renders the study q very strong
and pleasing one.

production of a burlesque upon the workings

Tanner and Bussey.

After arguments before him as to his power
under the law to advance the ratings of PEN
sioners who have lost an arm and leg, or
suffered equivalent disability, from $50 and $50
to $72 month, Commissioner Tanner, after
full consideration of the arguments pro and
con, came to the conclusion that he had the
legal power to make the advance, and ordered
1t in some 20 cases. The argument for the in
crease was illustrated by photographs OF terri
bly, lacerated anatomy, showing the exact
disabilities of the benefciaries.
The puplic will universally approve the Com
missioner's decision, as a man who is suffering
from the loss of an arm or a leg, or disability
equivalent thereto, is practically helpless and
entitled to the highest rate of pension.
Apr0pos Of this. Assistant Secretary Bussey
recently rendered decision in the claim of
William Powell, of Company d, Forty-seventh
Pennsylvania, who, while waiting to be mus
tered out and paid, was walking in the bar
racks when corporal of his company threw
fve-gallon demijohp, which struck him on the
leg infiicting q severe wound, from which he
never recovered. The claim was originally re-
jected on the ground that the injury was re-
ceived after the applicant was discharged from
the service and that if in the service.the in
Jury had no connection with his military duty
and hence was not pensiOnable. From this
view the Assistant Secretary dissents and d.
rects that if upon further examination 1t be
found that the claimants actual separation
from the service did not occur until after he
incurred the disability, though bis discharge
papers were dated some two weeks previous
thereto, he be given pension.

Memorial Hall at Richmond, Va.

The G. A R. posts and Women's Relief Corps
all over the country, from Maine to California
annually send contributions to the Memorial
Day Committee of Phil Kearney Post at Rich
mond, Va. The Northern comrades have been
very liberal and there is surplus, which will
be used in erecting memorial hall, from the
rents and profits Of which the Southern COM
rades and their children, who are organized as
Sons Of Veterans, will have the means with
which to perpetuate the memory Of their COM
rades who fell on Virginia battlehelds.
Nearly 81 500 has already been set apart for
this purpose, and it is their aim from year to
year to aid TO this fund any surplus from CON
tributions received for Memorial Day until It
shall be sufficient to carry out the object de.
signed. The contributions this year have ag-
gregated more than all heretofore received.
and General Allan will visit the National En-
canpmert at Milwaukee in August and expects
in reporting the progress already made to
awaken even a greater interest in this worthy
movement than has heretofore been done.
AS the Northern comrades have shown verv
liberal hand in contributing to the movement
the success Of the enterprise seems assured,

OUR NEXT COMMANDER-lE-CHlEF.

Some Of the Candidates for the Omce-
Comrade Charles PreIler's Death
Rating of ensioners--RichmOnd's Mem
orial Hail. Gossip of the Posts.
As the last quarter Of the official term of
the'present Commander-in-C Chief dawnsiupon
us the question of his successor becomes an
interesting one and is already being actively
discussed. The Department of Pennsylvania
has no avowed candidate, but if it had, he
would probably be Department Command
Thomas j. Stewart.
The Department of Vermont expressed its
preference in an unmistakable way at its
annual encampment by unanimous vote in
structing its delegates to the National En-
campment to support Past Judge Advocate
General Wheelock g. Veazey.
The Department of New York, at its annual
encampment, refused to nominate any candi-
date. Past Department Commanders Henry
A. Barnum, Ira M. Hedges and John Palmer
are, however, being considered as possibilities,
and in certain contingencies will develop much
strength in the National Encampment
A strong movement is developing in Mich.
igan, Ohio, Indiana Illinois, and elsewhere, in
favor of Ex-Governor Russell A. Alger, of
Michigan. The personal friends of the late
General John A. Logan are particularly active
in Comrade Alger's behalf, remembering his
close relations and loyalty to that i1lustrious
comrade.
The Pacific Coast Departments showed signs
at one time of concentrating on General T. H.
Goodwin who was q candidate before the
TYenty-second National Encampment at Co.
lumbus, and received handsome vote, but of
late nothing has been heard of his candidacy.
The choice of the Department of New
Hampshire will undoubtedly be Past Junior
Vice Commander-in-Chief John c. Linehan.
As the Department of Massachusetts wants
the Twenty-fourth National Encampment
held at Boston, it viii probably present no
candidate.
If the Department Of Connecticut presents a
candidate it will be Past Judge Advocate Gen.
era1 Henry e. Taintor
Past Department Commander I 8. Bangs is
Maine possibility.
Any one of these would make an excellent
Commander.in-Chief. There will be plenty of
good material for the National Ehcampment
to select from, and it cannot go wrong no mat
ter whom it elects to this, the highest honor,
in most honorable and representative organi-
cation.
