TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, SATURDAY, OCT. Il 1889.
PTTTsBuRGs CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

The statement that Mr.. Carnegie has,
after rine years pending of his offer to
furnish Pittsburg with free library, deter
mined to wait no longer on the tardy action
Of the city government but to 60 ahead
solely on his own account, forms the subject
Of an article elsewhere, which will be of the
keenest interest to Pitts5urg.
The erection of $3.50, 900 building, which
Ehall combine the characteristics of fine
library and home fo= the scientific and art
organizations of the city, will be a splendid
addition to the public institutions of Pitts
, burg. The impatienee over the delay of the
City Councils, which is attributed to Mr.
Carnegie by this report, is not unnatural
under the circumstances; although the
tsrdiness may be partially excused by the
legal obstacles which had to be overcome
Nevertheless since that impatIence results
in such a magnificent enlargement of Mr..
Carnegie's proposition, the public will not
object to the rather uncomfortable position
in which it leaves our city politicians.
Most certainly the public will welcome
with great approval the realization of such
a project as is elsewhere outlined. The
erection of a S75O,OOO library, with the
features suggested, in the central part of
the city, will supply in the best manner a
lack for which our city has heretofore been
discredfably prominent.

INTERESTING BUT uNRELIABIE.

The report that the English Government
had called for reports from the military
officials of Canada, on the ability of the
Canadian railways to transport troops
promptly from one part of the Dominion to
another, was a feature in yesterdays news
which caused a little hutter. Were the
Behring's Sea seizures to cause mobiliza-
tion of the British forces on our frontier? or
had the Tory Government concluded to
crush home rule by an attack on its cita-
dels in the United States? These explana-
tions of the rumor. though wildly improb-
able, mightwell cause some reflections on the
utter absence of preparations to resist at
tack on our side. But a much more credit
able and reliable explanation of the report
came later on, by authority of the Cana
dian Minister of War. That is simply that
the whole story is q fabrication.

at war with the boys living on the west side.
The eastern boys looked down upon the
western boys as wild desperadoes of the
frontier, and the latter regarded the eastern
fellows as little better than namby-pamby
tenderfoots, beneath the notice of healthy
Western youths.
A day or two ago this feeling took an ag-
gressiye turn. The fasteners took their pis-
tolls, the westerners their rifles, and blazed
away at each other. One boy was killed
and the war for the time ended. What
subsequent campaigns may bring forth
when the lads parents and elder relatives
take up the quarrel in the Western way, it
is hard to picture. Local pride is beauti-
ful thing on its proper pedestal and within
a reasonable limit of size, but when it de-
velops an antagonism between neighboring
hamlets, villages, towns or cities, leading
the citizens to boast mendaciously of their
individual dwelling places capacity, to
print dogs names in the directories in order
to swell the apparent size of the population,
to abuse each other maliciously. and to even
shed each others blood, then local pride is
only another name for violent and dis
reputable form of mania, sort of moral de-
lirium tremens, from which every decent To-
cality should be free.

TIE EMPERoRs MEETING.

The CEar and the Kaiser have been fol-
lowing the Democratic advice and "got
together" The possibility of doing this
has been doubtful for some time, and still
the incredulous are not above limiting that
while they may be together in body they
are still a long distance apart in spirit.
Nevertheless the visit of Alexander to Ber-
lin has its significance. 1t is not likely that
these two monarchs would put themselves
in position of amity while cherishing the
intention to set their armies at each other
when the spring opens. In addition to that
general probability, the stories that the
Gar would not meet Bismarck, or that Bis
mArck would steer clear of the Gar, prove
to have been the productions of a lively
imagination. While the combinations of
William and Alexander may not be
especially wise, they are likely to carry the
meaning that this country cannot sell its
food products to Europe in 1890 at war
prices

COME TO P1TTsBURe THE CLEAN.

With clear sky and a clear conscience
we can commiserate Chicago on her smoky
condition. Pittsburg has no boasts to make,
but we cannot help hearing the verdict of
the civilized world that Pittsburg is the
cleanest manufacturing city on earth. Chi
cago is groaning under heavy cloud Of
smoke, and does not know how to dissipate
it. 1t is a case where the poetic soul Of
Chevalier Eugene Field and the terrific
mind of Frank Lawler are alike at fault.
The detectives of the Windy City have
found nothing as usual in the way of a
remedy. The smoke stiles the painting
poets of the prairie who live in Chicago's
suburbs, and the newsboys who lend little
life to the ponderous gloom of her city
streets are abnorinally hoarse
So grave a nuisance has the soft coal
smoke become that the grand jury has
gravely brought in a special presentment
against it. This will have a tremendous ef-
feet. A jury is a mighty hard thing to get
in Chicago. and when a grand jury de-
nounces an evil, if it be properly consti-
tuted and modest evil, it fades away at
once. But soft coal smoke is, it is to be
feared, not the sort of nuisance 10 be abated
by presentments. There is really but one
course we can honestly and hopefully rec
ommend the people OF Chicago to pursue.
Let them abandon the swsmpy fats, the
filthy libel upon a river, the prairie-laid
suburbs, the vile lake winds and the fall of
inky suffocating smoke, and HE them hither
to the clean, clear air of Pittsburg, to the Iron
City, which grows larger and more beautiful
every day, at the gateway of the Ohio. We
will cheerfully give their manufacturers
sites for their industries, homes in the love.
liest, hilly scenery the country can afford,
natural gas to warm, work and cook for
them, and share in the abounding pros
perity the present holds for us and the fu-
ture promises to double. Flee from smoky
Chicago and come to clean, cheerful Pitts
burg! To clinch the bargain. well give
you jury of honest men to try the mur-
derers of Cronin.

they were liberated they wanted to
go to their homes in peace. These men have
suffered severely. Being convicted of their
first offense in selling on Sunday. they had
their $500 licenses revoked for one year, they
were made to pay a fine of $50 and costs OF
about s400 each, and sentenced to jail for 30
days, so that when they are released they will

DELIGHTFULLY."- ROMANTIC.
Story of Flower Girl Who Became
College Presidents Wife.

Story of n Flower Girl Who Became n
College Presidents Wife.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE account of the
opening of Barnard College, named after the
late President of Columbia College, recalls a
pretty little romance of long ago. Years ago
in Dayton, O., the custom prevailed Of holding
market days several times week. One
soft, sunshiny spring morning there ap-
peared at the market house flower
girl selling bouquets The girl was young and
charming, and spoke with French accent.
The first young man who passed that way
bought bouquet Every one who followed
did likewise. In an hour the first flower sale
that had ever taken place in Dayton was ended,
the stock sold out, and the fair vender disap-
peared. Next market day the little maiden aD-
peared again. She charmed everyone. For two
seasons the flower girl lit up the dingy market
house by her bright presence. One day, she
was gone. From that time the place knew her
no more. Years after one Of the young ladies
who had been patron of the fair flower seller
was in New York shopping in Denning's or, as
it was known then, Stewards, a stranger aD-
preached, and, greeting her by her maiden
name, expressed much pleasure at the meeting
and inquired for Dayton people.
Doubtless you have forgotten me-" said the
stranger, "but you used to buy my flowers in
the market house. That was long ago. I live
here now. I am married. Here is my card"
1t bore the name Of & the wife Of President
conversation explained the mystery of the
flower seller. The father of Mile. was
exiled from Paris for political reasons and his
estates were confscated. He came to America
and drifted to Dayton, where in modest cot
tage in the French quarter he beguiled the
term of his banishment by cultivating flowers,
while his little daughter eked out their slender
income by selling bouquets. After ten years
change in the government restored in a meas
ure their fallen fortunes and the father and
daughter were enabled to come East and as
sumo the social position which belonged to
them.

FISHES AND FROGS INNUMERABLE.
The Strange Sights Witnessed by Kentucky
Cave Explorers.

Gave Explorers.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.)
Provided with lanterns, several young men
started in the entrance known as Coleman's
Cave Spring, near Harrodsburg, and went east
ward three miles, where they could distinctly
hear the trains on the Cincinnati Southern
road at Burgin, which is ~ miles from this
place. They found stream of water running
the entire distance explored. In this stream
they found fish and frogs innumerable. The
passage was from to Is feet wide and about
the same in height, except occasionally narrow
ing down to a fat mans misery. Not far from
the entrance, the explorers found large room,
20x30 feet, studded with stalactites. In the
center of the cavern is circular chamber 80
feet in diameter and no less than so feet high.
This is veritable rotunda, covered, as it were,
by high wall-shaped dome. Over the entrance
is large curtain formed BY the union of stalac-
utes and stalagmites Is feet wide and as many
high. The most unique thing found by the ex-
plorers In the cave was the fac simile OF a side
saddle, all Of solid sandstone, opposite the
doorway in this chamber.
1.-THE young men attempted to sing the ''Star
Spangled Banner" but were forced to desist on
account of the terrible reverberating echo that
filled every nook, corner and recess of the
cave. They found number Of bones Of small
animals. but aside from the fish and frogs no
living creature was found. They will explore
the cave in few days, going different direc-
ton from the one taken by them yesterday.
Near the outer opening of the cave, cut in
the stone, was found the initials D. B. and nu-
merous figures and designs Of animals and,
birds. The initials were surprised to be for
Daniel Boone, and those who saw them say
they look 30 have been placed there years ago.
The young men say they have explored num-
has been prettier than this one, and are loud In
praises of its beauties.

A BIG ARMY OF BEGGARS,
About $4,000 Persons In Russia Who

About $4,000 Persons In Russia who
Solicit Aims for Living.
Russian officials have recently collected
statistics concerning the number of beggars In
Russian provinces and cities. They have pub
lished the reports from SO districts and eight
cities. According to these reports Russia has
about $4,000 beggars all Of whom carry
on begging as business with the en-
dorsements of village, city and church au-
thorities. Upward Of $500. Of them are Of
noble blood, 3491 are Of the clerical calling, 20
were once merchants, 1884 hucksters and
small traders, 1882 peasants. OF all the
cities. Moscow has the largest number of beg
gars; 28 900 persons solicit aims daily within its
limits. Sevastopol has no beggars at all. OF
the provinces, Livonia leads with 1900 beg
gars. Moscow and Courland come next with
1900 each. Warsaw has 14,0O0, Nishni, Nov
gorod and Wjatka 10000 each. Moscow, of all
Russian cities, contains the most beggars of
noble descent.
The Greshdanfn, q Russian publication,
thinks that these figures give no adequate idea
of the prevalence of beggary in Russia, because
they were gathered so hurriedlY and often
carelessly that many big districts and cities
were unable to register more than two-thirds of
their paupers. Its calculation Of the number
of beggars In Russia results in the conclusion
that more than 100000 Russians outside Of
almshouses live on the charity Of others. The
imperial commission, which is expected to
recommend a new and comprehensive plan
