+ IT has been stated that Mr.. Irving could not
accept knighthood even if he were disposed,
as his stage name is not his own name. This
is an entire mistake. Henry Irving is Henry
Irving, and nothing else. Some two or three
years ago he took the necessary letters patent
from the proper authority to make this his.only
name in law.
JOSEPH NINlMo, JR of Huntingdon, N. Y,

IT seems that the recent arrest of gamblers
at the Field Club, London, was brought about

was among the gamblers arrested. He had a
pull" and was released. He has been noted
for his severity on the bench.

A FAMILIAR TROUBLE.

The concert last night brought out the
old point which has so often been demon
strated in Pittsburg musical events. If a
concert extends beyond II o'clock the large
number of people who are obliged to leave
at that hour should be warned Of it, given
an opportunity to leave the hall, and then
the doors should be kept closed until the
performance is ended. The people who dis
turbed the performance of ''The Creation"
last night were not to be blamed for it.
They were obliged to go; but the manage
ment should provide against this repetition.
This is an old trouble in Pittsburg and the
present occasion is good time to apply the
remedy

'Ir is my good fortune said Mr.. Reid, ito

revolution. This increases our interest in the
magnificent display of the arts of peace with
which you nobly crown your centenary My
instructions inform me that there does not ex-
ist the shadow of difference between France
and the United States capable Of obscuring the
centenary-old friendship of the two republics,
which, hope, will always endure"
President Carnot, in reply to Mr.. Reid's re
marks, said that he received with pleasure the
letters accrediting Mr.. Reid to France There
existed between France and the United States
bonds and traditions which impaired to their
relations an especially agreeable character.

men would extend to him q cordial greeting,
and would do all in their power to make his

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY, MAY p 1889
THE OPENING OF THE FESTIVAL.

The first concert of the m usical festival
last night made an encouraging opening of
the musical event of the season. While
there were some drawbacks, such as the un-
pleasant night, the lack of heat in the hall
and the partially finished character of the
building the festival opens with an eclat
that contains the utmost promise for the
restAof the week.
The most gratifying feature of the splendid
rendition of the highest musical works, and
the furnishing of an auditorium Of sufficient
capacity for the greatest occasions, is the
evidence of what organized public spirit can
do. The present hall is, of course, only a
beginning; but it contains a promise of ex-
post ons and musical festivals that will give
Pittsburg leading rank in the best in the
country. The intelligent appreciation of
the audience also promises that the highest
class of music adequately rendered will COM
mand the public patronage.
The opening of the festival and the first
use Of the Exposition building are the in
auguration of new era for Pittsburg.

WHAT CAN WE COMEDIES 2

1t appears upon the authority of Mr..
William Walter Phelps that the concessions
reported as made by Germany, in order to
settle the Samoan dispute, were not made.
At all events, Mr.. Phelps states that these
reports were published in the German press
for the purpose of creating feeling against
the commission, by creating the impression
that Germany was giving up everything.
About the only thing WHICH we can rely
upon, according to Mr.. Phelps statement,
is that the work of the commission is very
nearly completed. Moreover" says Mr..
Phelps, sit is not true that mutual cOnces-
sions have not been made"
This amounts to an assertion that the

CHICAGO May 2l.-The s., 900, 900 or 81, ,00O, 900
of Charles j. Hull, the West Side millionaire,
will be distributed without a fight, and his
cousin, amanuensis and chief business man
ager, Miss Helen Culver, will be left undis-
turbed in the enjoyment of the bulk of his
fortune. This result was amicably attained in
Judge Collins court this morning. Mr.. Hull
died a very rich man and before his demise he
decided the bulk of his property to Miss Culver
and on his death made her his sole deYisee:l
The estate was estimated at $1,000, 900 in round
figures though the deceased was said to be
worth more.
He had neither wife, children nor parents
and the only heirs-at-law were the children OF
his brother, Burdette F. Hull and Eunlce
Naramore who were left without mention In
the millionaire's testament. They proposed to
contest the action of the council In cutting
them off and leaving everything to Miss Culver
but upon an intimation OF that intention Miss
Culver expressed desire to settle some OF her
large fortune on them.
This morning decree was entered by which
Miss Culver gave to the nephews and nieces OF
Mr.. Hull S2l2, 500 to be divided among ~
adults and minors in equal shares. Miss Culver
is absolved from all claims by the heir and thus
a contest of Mr.. Hull's will is aYerted.

NOT THE RIGHT PLACE.
The Question of Trusts and MonopolIes
RelnnRa In The LRUiaInfure.

The Question of Trusts and MonopolIes
Belongs in the Legislature.
CHICAGO, May2L.-Judge Baker delivered an
opinion in the Gas Trust case to-day, denying
the application to dissolve the corporation and
declaring that it has legal existence. The
action was brought in quo warranto by the At
torney-General of the State, on the ground
that the Trust was an illegal monopoly, and
doing business inimical to public interest
Judge Baker holds that the matter OF monop.
oly is one for the Legislature and not for the
courts to decide, and as long as the trust holds
a valid charter and does business under it, there
is no legal grounds for interference with it
The charge gives the trust the right to buy a
controlling interest in other companies and op.
crate the business, and 1t is an authority which
cannot be questioned. There were some rs
speculators Interested in Gas Trust securities
in the court room, and when they caught the
drift of the Judges decision they made con-
certed dive for the door, in order to get out
and work the stock market before the news
became known.
