Doing the Bay.

~ P. ]. Dunno, Deputy In
terL.,. .iue Collector for Western
Neva spent the holidays with
friends at the Bay. The SENTINEL
learns that the Captain is in greater
request among the bellies dwelling by
the sea than any man who goes down
from the mountains. During the
holiday season he was frequently seen
on the Kearney and Market street
boulevards with bevy of charmers.
While he is not a masher, in the Of
fensive sense, it is confidently asserted
in high social circles that ne could
lead dozens of the fragile beauties
over the Sierras with tow string.

A DEPOSIT OF DEATH AND TREASURE

The Interesting facts set forth in an article
elsewhere, concerning the necessity of dredg
ing to the bottom of the river below the
gorge which was formed at the Johnstown
bridge, contains great many singular de-
tails. The possibility that in the bed of
the river there is deposit of the treasure
that was washed away by the food gives the
work a new and entirely unprecedented
phase of treasure-hunting.
The probability of recovering any very
large amount of gold and silver from that
place is hardly great enough to warrant
making it leading incentive. If any
treasure is found, it should be returned to
the owners so far as Identification is possible.
The rest may be turned into the relief fund.
But the real incentive to the work should be
the removal and sepultureo of the dead bodies
which are still remaining in the river at
that point.
This is duty not only to the dead, but
to the living. The bare statement that a
river furnishing considerable share of the
water supply Of the towns of Western Penn
sylvania is passing through pool where it
is so impregnated with the decomposition of
bodies that its disturbance causes an almost
unbearable stencil, is sufficient to show the
necessity of the work. Until that pool is
thoroughly purified the use of river water
requires the greatest precautions.
The deposit Of treasure may be a singular
feature of that terrible gorge, but its de-
posit of death is the characteristic that calls
for energetic and persistent work.

THE SCALE SETTLEMENT.

The close approach to the LIST of July
without any signatures to the iron scale is
not a matter to produce any uneasiness. 1t
is customary to leave the matter until the
last day. and as mills that are not crowded
with orders are apt to shut down on July 1,
for few days, it would not be strange if
some of them should leave the scale un-
signed for week or two yet, without any
intention of struggle. The fact is that the
employers and employed are nearer together
than in almost any preceding year, the men
being satisfied with about the old scale, and
what few objections are made on the part of
the employers being far less strenuous than
usual. The only quarter where there is any
threat OF serious difference is at Home
stead; and all will unite in the hope that an
agreement may be reached there as easily as
at the other works.

P1TTsBURG. SATURDAY. JUNE %, 1889.
WHAT THE DECISION DECIDES,

The brewers, bottlers and wholesale liquor
dealers won a victory over Judge White in
the Supreme Court at Philadelphia yester-
day. Judge Paxson's opinion is that the
privileges of restraint and regulation vested
by the Brooks law in the Court of Quarter
Sessions in respect to the retail trade do not
extend to the wholesalers; that the latter
are entitled to license under the terms
of previous act, which required only
that they should be "citizens of the
United States, of temperate habits
and of good character and that in
failing to assign any one of these causes as
reason for refusal, the Court in Allegheny
county left itself open to reversal of its
judgment.
This means new hearings for all appealed
cases. That will doubtless include such,
also, as were refused wholesale license but
did not appeal. If in the course of these
hearings citizenship, character and temper
ate habits are proved the granting of licenses
is made compulsory; and the supreme tri-
bunal further asserts its right to review the
testimony if appeal be taken from the Quar-,
ter Sessions
OF course the point remains that so long
filed against special applicants on any of the
three grounds cited, the Quarter Sessions
Judge will still have authority to act ac-
cording to the evidence. What Judge Pax
son decides is simply the point ably argued
in communication to The DISPATCH some
months ago by S. A. McClung, Esq, that
the discretion vested in the Quarter Sessions
is not arbitrary but judicial, and subject to
review. As to the retailers, however, who
take license exclusively under the Brooks
law, this limitation is not even hinted at by
the opinion.
The drift of examination during the license
hearings On wholesalers applications was
not toward serious objections to any OF them
on the score of citizenship, character or
habits. Only one point was noticeably
raised that might be construed in that light,
viz, as to their selling to parties who in
turn retailed without license. This was met
by the general answer that it was not the
business of wholesalers to know or forecast
the actions of their customers. 1t looks as
though it might be held by the Supreme
Court on review to be a sufficient answer,
excepting in cases where there was positive
knowledge that customers were engaged in
unlicensed sales But the interest of the
entire liquor tlade, wholesale and retail, is
now to maintain good order. In practice,
therefore, it is to be expected that they will
cooperate with, rather than antagonize, the
spirit of existing laws. That is their SUBJ
stantial interest, at any rate.
While jubilant that they have won their
case over the Quarter Sessions, it is not
likely that the sense of victory will lead the
wholesalers to ignore existing regulations of
the retail trade, or to leave themselves liable
to remonstrance on any of the stated grounds
when they next apply.

D. K. PEARSON, the Chicago millionaire, has

A AFINE-LooKINe Boston girl dressed in a
Directoire gown the waistcoat of which was

and the brave lass was probably acting on the
maxim that the thing which procures the
greatest happiness for the greatest numbers is
the proper thing to do.
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE has written the
following letter to Band of Hope" connected
with a church in Edinburgh, Scotland: Don't
think you can do anything worth doing in fit
of enthusiasm, but train yourself carefully to
any work you are called on to do, and think
nothing too small to do carefully, or to train
carefully for, that is good for your fellow
creatures For instance, good or bad cooking,
may make or mar the lives of thousands, and
those, too, who are trying to do great things for
our race. God sends us real and lasting en-
thusiasm-that is, the spirit of love and of
power, and of a sound mind to carry us through
our training and our discipline"
AT the University of Vienna, five busts of
celebrated professors were recently unveiled.
One of them represents Prof. Hyrtl, the cele-
brated anatomist, who has contributed so much
to rendering the Vienna School of Medicine
famous. Though bent by 81 winters, he at
tended the ceremony. The numerous students
present broke into enthusiastic cheers at the
sight of him, and embarrassing his horses drew
his carriage over the Ringstrasse. The professor
thanked them in a clear voice in Latin, and en-
couraged every student present to give his
heart and SOUL and even his life, to the noble
science. It was only the fear of hurting the
weak old man that prevented the students
from carrying him down the great marble stair
case on their shoulders

ODD ITEMS FROM FOREIGN SHORES.

THERE is very pretty crusade afoot in
Glasgow. The authorities are taking energetic
steps to suppress betting. and the betting men
are taking equally energetic steps to avoid be-
ing suppressed.
On Whit Monday there were no less than
353, rs visitors at the Paris Exhibition, in ad.
dition to about 1900 free admissions. It is
estimated that nearly 5000 francs damage was
done to the trees and grass plots.
THE banks of the United Kingdom, number.
ing $50, have deposited with them 1900, 900
belonging to their customers, and it is calcu-
lated that considerable portion (perhaps a
fifth) Of this vast amount will never be
claimed. Numbers of persons deposit money
without any intimation of the fact to their
friends. and then disappear from the scene. A
large revenue is derived from notes burned,
lost at sea or otherwise DESTROYED.
The novel scheme of railway library has
been introduced by an English company called
the Globus. on the Austro-H Hungarian railways.

French, Czechish and Polish literature, have
been established at all the principal railway
stations in Austria ungary, and on the pay
ment of 10 kreutzers Tor centsl, and the de-
posit of forin, passengers may obtain any
single volume. This may be kept for several
weeks, and be given mp at any station when
the deposit will be returned.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Miss Maria Mitchell.

LYNN, MASS, June 2S.-Maria Mitchell, the
noted astronomer, died at $3.50 this mornn at the
residence OF Mrs. Benjamin Fl. Currier, in this
city. The name Of Maria Mitchell has been q
household treasure in this country for over 20
years. With Harriet Beecher Stowe, she will be
remembered as one of the great American women.
Her fame was worldwide as mathematician and
astronomer. As Professor of Astronomy at Vas
sar College from 1865 to 1888, she became person.
ally known to thousands of American women who
were never tired Of referring to her as proof Of
what o woman might be and do. She
was born In Nantucket, Mass, the home Of
many famous men and women, August /, 1878,
so that at the time of her death she nearly II
years old. When Miss Mitchell was only IL years
old sne assisted her father In his astronomical
work. At the age of IS she became librarian OF
the Nantucket High School, and declared that she
there laid the foundation of her attachments in
mathematics and astronomy. She held this place
for 20 years, and spent night after night in the
study Of the stars. Her earlier work was for the
purpose of determining local time. Then she began
searching for comets, and In October, 1887, disc0v
fathers examination confirmed her discovery.
Prof. Bond, Of Harvard University to whom was
MAJ s 10 Se 1e Y
the King OF Denmark to the astronomer who
should first discover new comet. Through Pres
ident Edward Everett, Of Harvard, Miss Mitchell
claimed by many distinguished European
suited finally in definite proof of Miss
Mi!chcl's claim. and she received the King
of DeHmark's gold medal, also copper medal
struck by the republic of San Marino, Italy. There
are seven other comets which Miss Mitchell dis
covered, being in advance of other watchers in
some cases by few days, in others by
few hours. After lS47 Miss Mitchell's fame
as an astronomer was assured. She was
employed after this on the American Nautical Al
nadndc until her appointment to the Vassar pro-
fessorship. In 1865 she visited Europe and in
England was the guest Of Sir John Herschei and
of Sir George b. Airy, then Astronomer Royal at
Greenwich. When she returned the women OF
America presented her with q. large telescope.
She was the first woman to be elected to the
was made Ill. ID. by Hanover and Columbia
Colleges and by the Rutgers Female College,. She
accepted the Vassar professorship OH condition
that her father might accompany her there. Mr..
Mitchell died, at the age OF 20, few yearsago.
Miss Mitchell resigned her professorship on
Christmas Day, 1857.

THE WORLD MOVES

A feature Of the Mellow murder trial in
Charleston. South Carolina, furnishes in
disputable evidence that the world does
move. One of the leading citizens of
Charleston is on trial for killing another of
the most popular and influential class. The
jury selected to try him consists OF five
white men and seven negroes. So far from
regarding the presence of negroes among
those who will determine the fate of lead
ing white citizen, as an insult and danger
to the man on trial, it is stated that the
attorney for the defense actually, in several
cases, indicated his preference for negroes
who were under examination after, as to
their eligibility, on account Of his belief in
their impartiality.
This shows an utter revolution of public
opinion in Charleston. Thirty years ago
the man who would have ventured to sup
port the idea that negroes could sit on a
jury for the trial of white men would prob
ably have been taken out and hanged to
lamp post. Twenty years ago the incorpo-
ration of that provision in the law was de-
nounced there as dire insult, in the shape
of subjecting white men to negro domina-
ton. While there are still irreconcilables
like Davis, Early and Rosser, who keep up
the old outcry against negro domination,
this case shows that the twenty years of ex-
pertinent of equal rights for all people, with
out regard to color, has. although obstructed
by prejudice, and delayed by the survival of
old issues, gradually convinced the, public
that the old prejudice was delusion, and
that the new principle of equal rights can
be safely left to work out its perfect work.
This evidence of progress also vindicates
those of the North who through doubt and
discouragement have steadily held to the
belief that time would convince the South
erners of the practicability of the Republi-
can system, in which even the poor and un-
educated may be brought up to level of
intelligence where they can safely be trusted
with the discharge of the duties of citizen
ship.

SETTLING UP THE SHUTDOWN.

The statements is made by the authority Of
one Of the Standards organs, that the great
concern has purchased the stock of crude
petroleum which the producers have been
carrying for the last yeal and half. This
is the wind-up of the famous shutdown
movement.
The price which is paid for the oil is
naturally the important element in deter
mining how the producers have got out on
the deal; but that remains profound
secret. Previous agreements, however, point
to the conclusion that the producers re-
cover the very liberal storage rates which
they have paid to the Standard and prob
ably few cents profit, for their loss in
shutting down production, just when the
Standard wanted it.
The producers can now figure up the
profit on the shutdown deal. While the
unknown factors may surround the pro-
ducers gains with a good deal of uncertainty,
they are likely to discover that the
Standard has not lost any money.

THE ENeLIsHMEFs TROUBLE,

The withdrawal of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, of its challenge for the Amer

Englishmen to the new deed of gift, under
which that cup is to be competed for. As
the deed of gift provides that the fastest
vessel shall take the cup, irrespective of
style Of architecture, keel or center-board,
the objection of the Englishmen might be
open to criticism, if there was good reason
for believing that to be the real cause of
their action. But the fact is that the chsl-
lenge was issued after the deed Of gift
