WHY NOT ABOLISH TT

An interview with leading real estate
man reports him as saying that next year
the change of moving day from April 1 to
May will be effected by making all leases
to run thirteen months from April 1, 1890.
This will be decided improvement on the
present system, which forces the great mass
to move at date which is more likely to be
unpleasant than almost any other time of
the year. But, reform on that point being
in order, why not go step farther and
abolish the custom of general moving day
altogether?
There is theory among real estate owners
that by having all leases terminate on a
fixed date they have a better chance of
renting their houses at that date. But the
fallacy of this idea is shown by the fact
that while the demand for houses is greater
as a result of this arrangement the supply
of houses is increased in exact proportion.
If the demand were distributed throughout
the year, and the same thing was done with
the supply, it would be just as easy both to
lease and obtain houses in October as it now
is in April.
The present arrangement only has the
effect of concentrating the work of negotiat-
ing and making leases. hunting houses, re-
pairing, renovating, cleaning and moving,
within three weeks of the year. To DIS
tribute moving day throughout the year
would enable this work to be distributed in
like manner. The change would emancipate
everyone from the rush and worry of a
universal moving day. and would rob the
work of house-renting and house-moving, of
half its terrors.
Since we are taking up this subject, it
will be worth while to discuss the question:
Why not abolish moving day altogether by
making all leases terminable at the option
of either party after year?

EXPLAINING THINGS,

That the statement of Major Merrill re-
vealing the ADMINISTRATOR reasons for a
change in the Commissioners office was
made with the knowledge of some of the
higher authorities at Washington is not
improbable. Both Secretary Noble and
President Harrison had been severely criti-
cised ior the removal of Corporal Tanner
1t was not clear to the veterans, or to good
many other people either, why a policy
which seemed to be no more than an e1-
tremely energetic enforcement of Repub-
lican pledges should result SO unfortunately
for the Corporal. Now, for the first time, there
is what looks like semi-offcial statement
of the causes, alleging such temper and dis
position on the part of the Commissioner as
were incompatible with judicial or judi
cious exercise of the functions of the office,
1t was not pleasant sort of explanation
for friend of the Corporal or of the Ad-
ministration to feel obliged to make. Major
Merrill evidently felt as much. According
to his account the President, Secretary
Noble, he (Major MerrilD, and everyone
who knows the Commissioner, have felt, and
still feel, personally friendly to him, but they
simply found him impracticable On the ore
subject of pensions. 1t is to be assumed
that the pressure of criticism by the veter-
ans upon the change must have been seri-
ously felt or Major Merrill would hardly
have ventured on the long interview.

EXTREMIST WEATHER.

The weather of 1889 has apparently taken
its course with firm resolution not to fall
into mediocrity. Most certainly the desper-
alton of the weather to run into extremes
has been amply illustrated of late. A few
days ago the most perfect summer calm pre-
vailed on this slope of the Alleghenies,
while on the other side winds and tides were
strewing wrecks along the Atlantic coast.
A week ago Pittsburg was sweltering in
heat and dust. Yesterday was the fourth or
fifth day of shivering in chilly winds or
trudging with cold, damp feet through the
mud produced by the slow and dismal
rains.
This meteorological determination to be
either very cold or very hot, very dry or
very wet, gives the grumblers plenty of
food for their animadversions, and at the
same time permits the philosophical to find
exercise for a CHEEKY philosophy The
former, who a week ago could not keep his
linen starched for the heat, is perhaps
justified in protesting that the alienation
to cold and mud is too sudden. But the
latter can find in bracing air and the re-
summer pleasures that were rife only few
days ago.
Nevertheless, both pessimist and .opti-
mist would be content to try little medium
weather, for a change, and will approve the
Weather Bureaus forecast of a change of
that sort within the next twelve hours.
May the prediction be more thoroughly
rapid than some that have been rendered
worthless by this inscrutable weather of
1891

MISS M'eORMICKs TRoUssEAU.
The Handsome nnd Costly Garments of the
Future Mrs. Blaine,

Fufure Mrs. Blaine.
AUGUSTA, ME-, September 20-An Augusta
lady who has seen the wedding trousseau of
Miss Anita Mccormick, Emmons Blaine's
iancee, says it Is one of the most elegant and
expensive outfits ever owned by an American
bride-elect. Lace is Miss McCormick's special
luxury, and upon it she has spent thousands of
dollars, SO that every piece is covered with
cascades of the most exquisite webs from
all parts of Europe where lace is made She
has q fancy for white underclothes too, and
nearly every garment is of the snowiest null or
silk, the only color being furnished by the mar
row ribbons running through the laces, and in
many instances the ribbons are white also.
Her bridal garments are of white India silk,
trimmed with the most beautiful Irish point,
and this same point trims one of the few tinted
sets in the trousseau-one Of pale lemon color,
which also includes a silk petticoat and satin
corset.
The bridal stockings are of white silk, en-
broidered with silver thread, and there are
other pairs Of white stockings embroidered in
gold and colors. This is a new fashion, intro
duced by Miss Mccormick, who likes white
stockings as well as white underclothes and
who mailed directions with her order to Paris
that instead of sending stockings of a color to
match each costume, they should be white,
embroidered with silk the shade of the dress.
In conjunction with this liking for white,
Miss Mccormick has fondness for the per-
fume of lilies, and special sachets for the per-
fuming of her garments have been sent from
Holland, the only place where the perfumers
have learned to impart the odor of the lily to
sachet powder. The powder is inclosed in
white satin bags, edged with lace and en-
broidered with her monogram, and there are
three dozen of them for her different trunks
and boxes. Her opera cloak for this winter is
heavy white silk, embroidered with gold and
lined from top to toe with the long silky hair Of
the Persian lamb.

A PosTMAsTER,s STUDIES.

Some of our good brethren in PhiIadel-
phia are congratulating Mr.. John Field,
who is to be that city's postmaster before
long, and themselves, because that gentle
man has been studying the features of Ger
many's postal system and taking notes in
the Post Museum, in Berlin, and in the
General Postoffice, in London. They seem
to think, do these simple-minded Philadel-
pnians, that Mr.. Field has been fitting him
self to look after their mails by observing
the lifesize statues of positions in dress and
undress uniform, the models of carriages
and post wagons, the geographical maps
and collection of postage stamps in the
Berlin Museum. They are delighted to
know that Mr.. Field spent good many
hours in the dismal old building where the
Royal mails of London are made up.
We do not wish to deprive them of any
innocent pleasure they may have found in
contemplating the summer wanderings of
their distinguished fellow townsman, but
the Philadelphians ought to realize that
Mr.. Field would have learned far better
how to conduct the Philadelphia postofice
by staying at home and visiting that very
institution. If Mr.. Wanamaker were
thinking of resigning his place to Mr.. Field,
that gentleman's studies of foreign mail
systems would have been 70 some purpose
perhaps. A Postmaster General cannot
know too much of the postal matters Of the
world. But Mr.. Field is not in such luck.

A RED SHIRT CAUSES A LAWSUIT.
Novel Claim for $4,000 Damages From
Steamship Compauy,

Steamship Company.
NEW YORK, September %. - Patrick Nc
Crane. a seaman, has instituted suit for
$4,000 damages for injuries received against
the owners of the British steamship Alvo
which is now in this port. The steamer was
libeled in the United States District Court
yesterday. On May 21. 1887. the steamer was
lying in the port of Carthagena. South
America. Her hold was filed with wild steers
which had arrived from Brazil the week
before. The captain of the vessel instructed
the sings from the animals horns, This was
hazardous undertaking. and especially SO for
the seaman, who had never had any experience
in the work of handling live cattle. Un-
fortunately for McGrane. he wore a bright red
shirt, and had no sooner got below when the
steers we're driven into a fury by the sight of
the shirt, and madly tugged at the ropes with
which they were tied. McGrane was unable
to comprehend the cause of the brutes' anger,
and proceeded to obey his instructions.
With considerable difficulty he managed to
remove the slings from half dozen animals.
He also managed to keep out of the united
animals path by crawling along on the beams
overhead. Coming to the stall Of big steer
who was frothing at the mouth, McGrane was
compelled to enter the stall. He succeeded in
taking the sling off, but before he could get
away the steer caught him on its wide spread
ing horns and threw him among the herd, 20
feet away. The other steers charged on the
seaman and gored him. One long-horned ami
NAL jabbed horn into one Of his eyes. The
other steers also tried to gore him. He was
finally rescued and was laid up for several
weeks, Hence the suit.

PEACH LEAVES AS A TONIC.
italian Women Use Them for Condiments
and Medicine. Z

and Medicine.
From the New York Herald.i
Italian women have been collecting peach
leaves in South Brooklyn during the past few
weeks. their object being to concoct out Of the
dried leaves tonic, which may be used either
with food or as medicine. These women hail
from Naples and other parts of Southern Italy
and retain in this country the many quaint old
customs which make them so interesting a
study to the historian and antiquarian. Among
those customs is that of gathering peach leaves
for medicinal purposes.
81 don't know how old this custom is" said
Mr.. L. Brignardello, an italian interpreter. to
me yesterday, but it is certain that many gen.
erations Of Southern italian women practice 1t.
In almost every country there are persons who
believe in the curative powers of certain roots
and plants, and in Southern Italy especially
such believers are, and have always been. very
numerous. AS to the peach leaves l don't
know exactly how the medicine or tonic Is
made out of them. AS to the peaches them
good deal OF prussic acid is extracted from the
kernels"
From other sources learned that these
Italian women make many strengthening
drinks and drugs from various roots and plants,
and are thus ready at moments notice to ad-
minister dose of homemade medicine to any
members of their families who may be in need
yoke the assistance of regularly licensed ltal-
ian physicians. Indeed" said an Italian edi-
tor to me, "a physician finds it hard to earn his
living among these people, and this fact largely
explains why many Italian physicians in this
city find 1t hard to make both ends meet"

THE BOOM IN WICKEDNEss.

A rather telling cartoon in Puck this
week has attracted considerable attention
BY the representation of Beelzebub as a
summer tourist rejoicing in the fact that his
work has been going on in New York,
during his absence, even more prosperous
ly than at the watering places The
details of the cartoon come into col
lision with the modern saying that
Satan never takes vacation although the
churches do; but it shows that the same
results are attained from the fact that if
the Prince of Darkness goes upon summer
tour he leaves efficient substitutes at home
to carry on the work. But it may be
doubted whether the statement is correct that
the business of the internal regions has
gone on more briskly in New York than
at the watering places. The most scandal
Gus outburst of the season was at q seashore
resort; and wherever vanity, selfshness and
the pursuit of pleasure goes on, there Satan
finds mischief for the idle hands to do.

PITTsBURG. SATURDAY, SEP. q, 1889.
TWELVE PAGES
THE FALLING CLIFF.

The disaster from which Quebec is suffer
ing in the shape of landslide of part of
the famous cliff for the possession of which
Wolfe and Montcalm struggled, and the
crushing of the dwellings of over 200 souls
at the bottom of the hill, is variation from
the usual line of wholesale fatalities, which
should not be without its warning for other
communities in like positions.
1t seems that the dangerous character of
the cliff was we'll enough known. A like
disaster occurred As years ago with less
destruction of life and property. Efforts had
been made to guard against its repetition;
but as is too frequently the case with such
precautions they are shown by the result not
to have been sufficiently far reaching. Only
portion of the dwellings within reach of
the landslide were removed, and only the
most obviously threatening of the rocks
were blasted away. The consequence was
that the great fall of rocks buried 30
houses, and is supposed to have killed over
200 people.
OF course this is an evidence of the ne
cessity when danger threatens to leave
nothing undone that can guard against 1t.
Beyond it, there is a special warning to
cities which, like Quebec, have crowded
quarters under PERCEPTIONS hills. Pittsburg's
hills are mainly sloping enough to guard
against such dangers; but there are some
places in which they assume a clif-like
character which, with the example of Que
bee before US, should be carefully watched.
The subject is made more difficult in this
country by the apparent doubt as to power
to compel the removal of dwellings or the
cutting away of hills that may be dangerous;
but the presence of the danger wherever it
exists, only makes the difficulty of dealing
with the matter an additional reason for
promptly seeking its solution.
