DRAMATIC Mode of Execution.

A Leipsic inventor has devised an
extremely dramatic mode of execution
for criminals, which possesses the adj
ditional advantage of being painless.
The machinery consists of a platform
nine meters square, approached by
steps. In the center of the platform is
a chair for the condemned man. Be
hind it stand figure of Justice, hold
ing a pair of scales in her left hand,
the scales being movable. Under the
platform is placed an electric battery.
from which wires pass through the legs
of the chair into the seat and back,
terminating in platinum plates. If the
patient objects to seating himself in
the chair be is simply tied in. Then,
after the sentence has been read, the
executioner takes a stick, breaks it,
and places the pieces in one of Justice's
scales. This descends, puts the bat
terry in motion, and ends the matter.
Death is instantaneous and painless.
The machine has been tried on animals
in the presence Of a large company OF
invited guests, and is pronounced a
success Christian Union.

TWO STRIKES.

Under the circumstances we feel that we
are justified in renewing to the League
baseball club Of Pittsburg the assurance of
our distinguished consideration. The
Hustler's cherubs have Joined battle with
Anson's boastful boys on two successive
occasions, and have come out victorious
each time. This is at it should be. Pitts
burg steadily marching upward all the
time could hardly bear to contemplate the
discreditable descent of the local baseball
club at the beginning of last season, and
even the rally of our players toward the
last, at time when the jig, so to speak,
was up, did not wash away the dismal
memories of early disasters.
Now hope springs again in the bosom of
the crank who has sighed so long to see the
pennant fy above the neutral-tinted barn
of baseball in Recreation Park. If the
doughty Dunlap can keep his veterans from
the vain delusion that all the clubs in the
League are but an oyster open before them,
needing nothing but slight effort on the
Pittsburg delegations part to be swallowed,
all will be we'll. There is large stock of
compliments and laurels in good preserva-
ton left over from the seasons gone by,
which will be cheerfully lavished on the
Pittsburg team if it con tinues its gallant
charge to victory.

MRS. HARRIsoNs eoop SENSE.

A satisfaction almost equal to that over
the iDtimations that the President is disap-
pointing the practical politician, is created
by the report that Mrs. Harrison is shock
ing the feelings ofthe aristocracy of thecapi-
tai by her independent and of-hand method
of transacting her private business. 1t is
whispered, With bated breath, that the wife
of the President has even been guilty, when
she wishes to consult physician, of going
to the physicians Office instead of summon
ing the physician to attend her pleasure.
This is regarded by the ladies who for sever
al years made such an exhibition of them
selves, by quarreling over who should have
precedence, as entirely beneath the dignity
of the first lady of the land.
1t is quite possible that those who imag-
inc that ladies can take official rank in
Washington, and who think that the rank
is suitably asserted by public quarrels as to
the respective standing of each prominent
person, regard it as improper for Mrs. Har-
rison to adopt the common sense and demo-
cratic method of going to see those with
whom she has business in place of ordering
them to attend upon her orders. But the
sensible people of the country will
not be at all displeased to learn that Mrs.
Harrison attends to her own affairs
with the same course every other
well-bred and sensible woman would
take. There is nothing either in the
Constitution and laws of the land, or i n the
constitution and laws of common sense,
which prevents the wife of the President of
the United States from being sensible, un-
assuming and business-like. Conceding
the theory that there is first lady of the
land to be correct, it is obvious that the
ladyIike character would not insist upon
making people dance attendance upon her
pleasure when she can more conveniently
consult them upon the business which she
has with them.
A silly attempt at setting up a cheap
imitation of the customs of royalty may
and naturally will produce an idea that the
lady of the White House should arrogate
an especial superiority. But there is moth
ing either in the position of the Presidents
wife or in the true constitution of American
society to warrant any such idea. The lady
of the White House has exactly the same
rights and duties as any other lady. If she
she has any business to transact with any
one it is sensible tor her to do it in the least
obtr usive and most convenient method. If
she wishes to visit any of her friends she
has the right to do SO without adopting any
special forms or privileges which they
would not assert against her. This is
directly opposed to Washington etiquette;
but it is based upon the principles of demo-
cratic common sense.
No doubt the so-called official society of
Washington would be very much put out if
Mrs. Harrison should adopt these rules; but
the less attention she pays to the silly idea
of official etiquette, the more likely will she
be to set the example of Unassuming good
sense which should govern republican
society.

JOY rs IN ORDER HERE.

June, the month dedicated above all
others to Hymen, is not here yet, but the
fires are being lit on many matrimonial
altars. Perhaps the propitious spring has
hurried on the tides of Cupid, and made
the month of flowers and showers ring with
tunetul sound of marriage bells. But not
alone have the many marriages made this
Eastertide merry; the people generally
seem to be largely given over to seemly but
none the less joyous pleasures at this season.
The statistician may tell us that figures of
the country's finances do not justify high
jinks. But here in Pittsburg, at least, the
prosperity of the masses is too positive to
he denied a free utterance OF the joy 1t
brings.
There is no reason why diseordant note
should be heard here. Pittsburg works
hard; she earns her pleasures, and now that
the season and the wages of work conspire
in suggesting iollity, We are glad to see
that in all society, high and low, the sound
of merriment mounts high.

MAKE THE CITIES CLEAN!

Far away from Pittsburg as yellow fever
may seem to be, its resurrection in Florida
may properly serve as suggestion to the
authorities of this city and Allegheny to
make some improvement in the condition of
the streets. Although the avenues most
used in Pittsburg are happily as clean Just
now as it is possible to make them, the same
cannot be said of a great many streets and
alleys in various sections of the city. With
even greater force may this be said of Alle-
gheny. The warm spell of last week re-
vealed this truth Extensively to the nostrils.
1t cannot of course be certainly predicted,
but there seems to be likelihood that the
coming summer will be rather hotter than
usual The temperature for the months of
1889 which have gone by has notably ex-
ceeded the average. This clearly makes
clean streets all the more desirable, and if
to the ordinary perils of a hot summer there
is added the chance of a visit from the terri
bic seourge of the South, the city authori-
ties cannot bestir themselves too early or
too energetically to make the two cities as
free from pest-breeding filth as possible.

TABLEAUX AND MUSIC.
Fine Entertainment Given by the Dorcas
Society of the Two Cities.

The Dorcas Society, a non-sectarian charita-
BILE organization, gave an entertainment at Ma
sonic Hail. Allegheny, last evening. It con-
sisted of tableaux, recitotions and music, and
the proceeds, which amounted to 5000, are for
the benefit of the society. The object of this
association is to make and distribute clothing
among the poor of the two cities.
A number of prominent persons participated
in the entertainment last evening, and the pro-
gramme was one of the finest ever given in the
hall.
After the overture and a song the following
tableaux were formed: Feast of the Gods on
Mount Olympus" "Apollo and the Muses."
1.-THE Happy Expression" Ruth Cleaning in
the Fields of Boaz," "The Interrupted Court
ship" "The Wise and the Foolish Virgins"
1.-THE City Swell" Town and Country Love"
1.-THE Russian Wedding" "Courtship of Miles
Standish." "Dick Swiveller and the Mar
chioness" "Pygmallion and Galatea,' "Ye
Ancient Mariner" and the Gypsy Camp"
The latter was participated in by the follow
Misses Bertha Scully, Rose Dunlevy, Name
Nicholson, Sidney Grace Jennie Brown, Dollie
Brown, Nettie Roose Alice Carter, Jeanette
Grove, Messrs. j. II. Horne, John Nicholson,
Charles A. Robb. Galen O. Hartman, A. A.
Gillespie, F. Bradshaw, H. Fish, Master Clifton
Grace.
The tableaux were interspersed with music
by the orchestra and solos by Messrs. Fred.
Robertshaw and John A. Strouss.
The hall was crowded and the entertainment
was one of the best ever given by the society.

THE PRESIDENTS PACE.

Is not the laborer worthy of his hire? The
workers, rank and file, in the Republican
party are tolerably agreed that he is. This
question at the present moment seems to be
subordinated to another somewhat like unto
it, to wit: Is the laborer to be paid with
thanks merely or with the offices? This is
the question which the organs of the party
in power are asking in all sorts
of ways. The symptoms of uneasi-
ness and discomfort have only
shown themselves as yet in photographic
snorts But the rumble of the heavy artil-
lery getting into position is plainly to be
heard There is trouble in store for Presi-
dent Harrison.
Yesterday meeting of Republican NAL
contents voiced the feeling to which we
allude at Indianapolis. These dissatisfied
politicians of the practical stripe made it
known as their opinion that the President
was rewarding only the so-called "dude"
element of the party, the gentlemen whose
service in the fight had gone no further than
the dress parade, and that he was neglect
ing the workers who had taken of their
COatSs duN udu given buC41 bAuSs uOASg oAN
best energies to promoting the party's sue
cess at the polls. From the same quarter
proceeded also somewhat pathetic plea for
the recognition of the coIored man, and
humorous allusion to Mr.. Harrison's choice
of domestic servants for the White House.
This ebullition of discomfort would be
beneath consideration were it not in har-
mony with the utterances of prominent men
at Washington, New York and other
centers. In THE DISPATCH of yesterday
appeared the statement of a leading New
York politician, in which the Presidents
course was severely criticised. In this in
stance, as has often happened lately, the
President was blamed for not turning out
the Democrats quickly enough. The cry of
all the malcontents is that more Clarksons
are wanted to clear the way for the Repub-
lican Office seekers. Praise unstinted is
lavished on Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson.
1t is clear that the Office seekers are not
happy, that the President is likely to be
abused by them openly and roundly before
long, but it is not so clear that the Repub-
hcan party as a whole is angry because the
administration is trying to run the Govern.
ment in a business-like fashion. Mr.. Har-
rison may continue to go slow without in
curing the displeasure of any considerable
part of the nation.
