papers reported the incident with all the
sensational color Australian journalism
could scrape together, and the leader writer
preached columns of steam-pressed morality
on the subject. The butchers name was
heralded far and wide. Some lawyers who
had been looking for him unsuccessfully, at
once notified him that he was the heir to a
large fortune. Thus the slip of the butchers
lips brought him a fortune.
1t is not unreasonable to expect that Sgd
ney now is not nice place for pretty young
women who do not like being kissed-that
is by strangers or men they do not favor.
The men of that prosperous Australian city
are sure to be impressed with the lucky
sequel to the butchers kiss. If the butcher
had achieved publicity or notoriety rather
by committing an assault, or by stealing
loaf of bread, or by selling meat under
weight, or by some other crime decidedly
unromsntic, he might not find imItators.
But a kiss is such pleasant thing anyhow,
that a pretty woman is almost irresistible
with the chance of finding fortune a-beg-
ging behind her lips. We trust that all our
readers will resist the temptation neverthe-

COME TO Us, MALLIsTER /!

There is something about genius which
enables it to survive all sorts of crushing
disasters and defeats. Ward McAllister is
genius, and, phenix-like, he is arising in
splendor out Of the ashes to which he was
reduced during the centennial of the consti-
tuition. Cast down by the lordly Stuyvesant
Fish, Ward McAllister bounces up again
like an india rubber ball. There is some
thing admirable in this quality of genius,
even when the genius be thst of being a
superlative fool in hund-,d different ways.
On this foundation the cl iIls % genius of
the great -Four Hundred in New York are
mostly based.
Now Ward McAllister proposes to get up
great ball at the Metropolitan Opera
House, for the exclusive benefit of the Four
Hundred. He stands fair chance of sue
cess in this undertaking for Mrs. William
Astor has signifed her imperial approval
thereof. The rest of the reigning families
will doubtless follow suit, for there exists
far more amiable spirit among the royalties
of New York than European Courts can
boast. 1t is really joyful to behold the
ways of the aristocracy in this democratic
land.
When the illustrious McAllister has
started the season in Gotham and the wheels
are moving smoothly, could he not be per-
suaded to come to Pittsburg? Some of us
sigh for him. We who sigh may not be
many, may not be very blue-blooded, but we
are as ambitious as our aristocrafic mush-
room of the Empire City. Ward McAllister
knows so many tricks society's trade that
he could easily erect littl' empire out of
our raw material. And then Pittsburg
could laugh at her little four hundred as
heartily and as often as New York does at
hers

VALUABLE PRECAUTIONS.

The fact that the health authorities are on
the watch against the appearance of small
pox, from the cities to the north, where that
disease is now reported, is one Of the best
safeguards against any serious inroads. 1t
is well for them to be on the alert, and to
urge vaccination wherever exposure might
be feared; but with the proper precautions
there is no need to expect the prevalence Of
the disease.
Smallpox has never been epidemic in
Pittsburg, except where there was at the
start dlscreditable neglect by the health
authorities of the obvious methods of isola-
tion and disinfection. In the serious Wis
itation of smallpox half dozen years ago
the original case was left in a crowded
court, where the spread of injection was un-
avoidsble, simply because the sick man OBJ
jected to going to the city hospital. When
ever the first case of the disease is promptly
and vigorously isolated and disinfected its
spread can be checked.
We are glad that the Health Bureau is
on the watch; and the belief that it will
neglect nothing that will prevent the spread
of the disease in Pittsburg gives the best as
surance that our city need not fear the
smallpox.

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY, OCT. q, ISs
UNcoNvINCIEG ASSURANCES.

1t is very pleasant to have the constant
assurances which the Pittsburg public is
receiving that our electric light wires are
perfectly safe. We should be glad to be-
lieve they are, as implicitly as we do believe
that they are much superior in safety to the
wires which have caused so many deaths in
New York. Nevertheless some facts appear
which are likely to disturb the implicit
faith which might otherwise be placed in the
earnest assurances of the gentlemen who are
interested in leaving the wires where they
are.
Thus we are informed that q thoroughly
insulated wire, bearing a current of 1000
volts, contains no danger to the public.
Supposing the insulation to be indestructs
ible, either by the abrasion of crossed wires
or any other source, how would it be if there
is a fire? Are the fremen whose duty it
may be to cut away these high tension
wires to do it at the risk of their lives? If
the cutting can be done without fatality
what will be the result if the exposed ends
complete circuit by contact with build
ing, or the ground or the body of an unfor-
tunate bystander? The electric light COM
panies may be able to take these risks, but
we do not think the public can afford to.
The matter is not to be remedied by at
taeking any single company and leaving
others undisturbed, as was proposed in
Councils this week. The least that can be
done for the safety Of the public is to put
all bigh-tension wires under ground.

TEE RESPONSIBILITY For IT.

There is a very slight amount of either
rhyme or reason in the attempt of New
York Democratic organ to make political cap
ital against Vice President Morton because
his banking firm has charged high rates for
money during the present furry. That act
on the part of the firm of Morton, Bliss &
Co., has exactly the same moral and polit-
ical character as that of selling oil or pig
iron at the top of the market
Without doubt Messrs. Morton, Bliss &
Co., like to get u or Is per cent interest on
their loanable funds, if they can do it. 1t
is a well-known fact that for the greater
part of the last ten years they have been
obliged to take nearer per cent, simply for
the reason that they could not get higher
rates. In other words banking firm can
not put up interest rates to suit themselves;
but the rate for money like the price of any
thing else is governed by the law of supply
and demand.
OF course there can be no legitimate de-
mand for Is per cent loans; but speculation
and extravaganza can produce an illegal de-
mand for money at that rate. If anybody
is to be pitched into, as responsible for the
high interest rates, the spectators who
make the demand, and the extravagant peo-
ple whose purchases have sent money out of
the country. should be summoned for pun
ishment

NEW YoRKs BRILLIANT PLAN.

The financial plan b. which New York
hopes to secure the W .rld's Fair of 1892,
has been published in full by the papers of
that city. 1t occupies several columns in
length; but with regard to the important
matter, where the money is to come from, it
can be stated in a few lines.
The plan in this particular is the chef
d'euvre of the New York efforts to evade
the difficult task of getting her million
aires to open their money bags. The money
to build the buildings is to be raised by: ~ an
advance of So, ,OO0, 600 from the city of New
York; (2) similar advance from the State
of New York; and (3) an advance sale of
scrip which shall be redeemable for admis-
sions at the fair, estimated to amount to ten
or twelve millions.
What is the amount which the million
aires, the merchants, and the real estate
owners, hotelkeepers and railways of New
York are expected to subscribe? A guar
antee fund OF 81 900, 900 which is not to be
paid unless there is deficit from the other
sources, and the subscribers to which are to
draw the profits if there are anyl This pro-
ject to let the people who are to be enriched
by the show, out of the duty of furnishing
the funds, caps the climax of New York's
record.
Ifthe State and city of New York permit
themselves to be taxed in accordance with
this scheme, the outside public need not OBJ
ject. But the publication of this plan con-
firms the impression that New York does
not want the FaIr-badly enough to put up
the money for it.

WE KNOW HOW TO WAIT.

1t is suggested by the Philadelphia Press
that as there are eleven vessels in the navy
to be named shortly, it is an opportunity for
PIttsburg. 1t is pointed out that we have
supplied ribs, plates and beams for many of
the vessels of the new navy and that two
thirds of all the Government steel inspectors
were detailed for service here. Therefore the
Press says: Let Pittsburg lift up her voice
in demand, so loud that it will be heard in
Washington, that one of the new steel
cruisers be named in her honor" All of
which is very true dear Press, yet Pittsburg
knows how to bide her time. We are wait
ing for the vessel to be built which will be
unique, unsurpassed and unrivaled. When
the ship is turned out that will be steady and
mistaken by the severest storms, which is
at once unconquerable and irresistible,
which will knock the navies of the Old
World into old junk as the Monitor did, the
name of that vessel will be fixed by all con-
siderations OF fitness. She must be the

ANY one who watches the movements of the
big iron jaws of General B. F. Butler as he sits
in court and manages an important case. would
infer that he was an inveterate tobacco chewer,
so diligently does he masticate. Still, the fat
old general does not smoke or chew. His jaws
for the past four years or more have been exer-
cised on the mild and exclusive bark OF the
slippery elm. of which he always carries sup
ply in his pockets This is due to the fact that
his physician told him he must give up smoking.
Feeling the need of something to take off the
"hanker'' for tobacco, he resorted to the elm
bark, and chews it constantly.

BEFORE COLUMBUS CAME.
A Manuscript Supposed to Relate to Ameri.
cas- Discovery, 1000 Years Ago.

ALBANY, October 22.-Prof. Melvil Dewey,
Director of the State Library, made a discovery
while in Paris While in the National Library
Of France he went into the manuscript depart
ment. In this department is probably the best
collection Of autographs extant: Prof. Dewey
says that as he was passing through the depart
ments he saw hnelooking man with white
mustache. with his ose in yellow and musty
manuscript. AS he approached, the man raised
his head and disclosed his identity. He was
none other than General Daniel Butterfeld.
The manuscript in which he was interested was
one Of Saint Breuden a notable abbot in the
sixth century. The Latin manuscripts, which
was poorly written. seemed to relate to the
discovery of America.
General Butterfield told Prot. Dewey that he
had discovered the manuscript by accident,
about three weeks previously, and had become
SO interested in it that he would remain until
it SO long, said Prof. Dewey, 'that he could
read 1t faster than could. must give him
credit for that. There is some discussion now
cred America long before Christopher Colum-
bus did, and 1t would seem strange at this
time, when we are all talking about the four
hundredth anniversary celebration, IL General
Butterfeld were to discover evidence which
bore out the facts"
Prof. Dewey says that General Butterfield
became so interested in the work of tracing out
the clews furnished In this manuscript that he
accompanied him to London and spent hours
in the libraries there. Should General Butter
fields research establish the fact that the
party of priests actually did find America 500
years before the time Christopher Columbus
came across in the Santa Maria it would be an
important matter In conpection with the COM
ing big celebration. Prof. Dewey would have
liked to remain with General Butterfeld and
helped in the search, but his limited time
would not permit.

LIGHT ON SOUTHERN STANDARDS.

One of the measures of partisanship is
furnished by the editorial with which the
Atlanta Constitution welcomed Gov. Hill,
because that alleged statesman declared: 4
am Democrat" The assertion of that po-
litieal character, in the Constitutions opin-
ion, induces Atlanta, Georgia, ,and the South
to extend a cordial greeting and a royal
welcome" 1t does not seem to make much
difference to our Southern friends whether
their guest is Democrat who stands up for
honest and clean government, or one who is
hand in glove with all the jobbers that have
turned the politics of his State into a COM
petitive struggle for plunder. They do not
care whether be is pure and honest Demo-
crat, or whether he has been plastered over
with whitewash. II he is Democrat that
is all the South asks-if we may take the
Constitution as authority. The welcome to
Hill throws q rather strong light on the
Southern standards Of political integrity.

weather of last evening prevented many from

| lecture on Health and Grace Versus Illness
and Awkwardness'' given by Mrs Emma M.
Bishop at the Buena Vista Street M. E.
Church A tair-sized audience defied the rain
and gave to the talented lady the attention her
remarks merlted
| Mrs. Bishop was introduced by Mrs. Prentiss,
the Treasurer of the Woman's Club, under the
auspices of which her lecture was given. In a
very graceful manner she entered upon her
subject at once by taking an expression Of
Delsarte's Know and Express Thyself" as the
basis of her remarks. She reviewed briefly
| tn wonderful progress made in the
| past by women in the intellectual sphere,
| paid just tribute to women's clubs
| for the stand they are taking Intellectually,
| and to the press for encouraging them in their
work by giving them credit for the good they
accomplished, and said it was not intellectually
nor morally that she would discourse. but
would entreat all woman to know themselves
| physically First as to health. Everyone ad-
mitted the necessity of it, but grace, the twin
sister Of health. was scoffed at by great
many, and deemed utterly worthless and
superficial, except as drawing room at
tribute
Whereas Herbert Spencer was quoted as
saying Grace is ease in force" From grace
self-possession was derived. and the knowledge
of how to control the movements of the body
without friction, left the mind entirely free for
the development of its higher faculties. Awk-
wardness was waste of force and strength.
This was aptly illustrated by showing the nu-
merous unnecessary movements an awkward
person would make in sitting down or rising
from chair, and contrasting it with the same
acts performed by graceful person.
Incorrect standing was the cause of great
deal of illness; the ascending of stairways, con-
sidered SO laborious, would be pleasure If the
body was carried properly. Old age was gen.
orally matter of belief and might be cheated
wonderfully if proper physical development
was studied, thereby retaining the buoyancy and
elacticity of youth. The Delsarte gymnastics,
with all their beauty and grace were contrasted
with the ruder, energetic movements, as
taught in the public schools.
Mrs. Bishop was, in every movement on the
platform. the perfection of grace. Her voice
was clear and her enunciatlon faultless. Ladies
desiring to see her can do SO at the parlors of
the Central Hotel to-day between the hours
of and ii A. NJ. and and P. N.

GOLD MINE KISSES.

A pretty woman is a temptation enough
by herself. 1t is only after centuries of
civilization that men have learned not to
kiss every pretty woman they may meet.
Pittsburgers know better than most men
how nearly omnipresent this temptation is,
and they can therefore sympathize with the
male population of Sydney, New South
Wales, who have new reason for desiring
to kiss pretty women promiseuously.
Not long ago gallant butcher OF dney
was overcome by the beauty of customer,
and, as be was handing her neat parcel of
mutton chops. he could not help kissing her.
She did not appreciate the salute and hailed
the butcher before magistrate, who lee
tured and fned. him severely. The news
