Are there any colored masons? If SO, can
they enter Masonic lodge composed entirely
of whitesf Do white Masons repudiate the
colored fraternities2 Have not read in THE
DISPATCH that the first charter to organize
the order in this country was granted to a
negro? This 1 believe. appeared in print about
year ago, when a controversy was started at a

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY. NOV. s, 1889.
PrTTsBURG ON EXHIBITION.

The sources of Pittsburg's greatness were
disclosed to our visitors from South America
YESTERDAY; the curtains were drawn back
and the mysteries and marvels of her many
industries were laid bare. 1t Is certain that
many and wonderful as the sights have been
that the hospitable cities of our country
have offered to the travelling statesmen, yes
terdav's exhibition of the power and prod
ucts of Pittsburg, her resources and the re-
suits must have surpassed all that had gone
before. They were taken through the heart
of the industrial body of this community,
and in succession saw the manufacture OF
glass, iron, steel and other staple articles of
universal use. The greatest mills the
country boasts were shown to the
Congress in full operation. The industrial
armies were not on dress parade when the
visitors called, but in the very heat OF
battle. 1t was grand object lesson, illus
trating the facilities which this continent
has for supplying her sister continent of the
South.
The entertainment of the evening was
supplementary in fitting way to the doings
of the day. More at their leisure the dele
gates were enabled to contemplate some of
the principal products of Pittsburg in the
great machinery hall of the Exposition. The
immensity and splendOr of Pittsburg's great
natural ally, natural gas. was also grandly
displayed over the great river which flows
toward the far-of homes OF the visitors. 1t
is impossible that this practical exposition
of this city's abilities to aid the march Of
civilization all over the globe will not re-
suit to the mutual benefit of the entertained
and their hosts. We are glad that this op-
portunity to knit together the commerce of
our own land and that of so many of neigh
bors has been SO well utilized.

Objects to ViIbeIm's Statement.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In regard to the statement made by Mr.. Carl
Wilhelm, editor of the ::Pittsburger Sonnta0s-
blatt und die Reform about the Anarchists
Circular, as published in to-day's DISPATCH,
saying: THAT circular was written and set up
in a German paper Office" (meaning the ArbeiteI'
ZeitunO). we beg to be allowed word: First,
Mr.. Wilhelm is mistaken; that circular was not
printed in our office; Second, the ArbeIter

T TTades Assembly. " DubIisbed nv ~ the he German
Workingmeu's Publishing Company; Third, Mr.
Ernest Walter, editor of the Arbeiter Zeituno O.
is neither an Anarchist nor a member of the
Main Committee of the Anarchists; Fourth,
it seems to us that said Wilhelm is interested,
with the German daily papers IN Pittsburg,
whose intentions are to ruin our paper. I

AMERICAN FASHIONS, PLEASE.

1t is pleasant to hear from the Sdrtoridl
art Journal that the merchant tailors' ex-
changes have brought about a change for
the better in the trade. The result of the
softening usages to which we are told these
exchanges have given birth is that whereas
not long ago there were but few who could
see any merit IN the work of rival, and
knowledge it, now there are none so quick
to discover the grace and beauty of gar
ment made by a merchant tailor as his
brother in business. This is as it should be,
and with such harmony in the trade the
sartorial art may achieve heights hitherto
uncontemplated.
Surely if the merchant tailor exchanges
have been so successful in stilling the jeal-
ousy and rancors born of competition among
the tailors, they can be depended upon to
encourage laudable projects aiming at the
elevation of the trade. Foremost among
necessary and widely demanded reforms, is
the establishment of national school of
tailoring. A school as purely and primely
American as our men of letters have formed
with their works Our tailors have bor-
rowed fashions long enough from Bond
street; they have endured the dictation of
the royal fashion plate in st. James Palace
far too long, and the time has come for re-
volt against this foreign tyranny. We do
not run our Government to suit Albert Ed
wards desires, why should we cut our pam
falcons on his pattern? That's what the
free and independent tsilors of America
have to consider. 1t is conceded that
American tailors make better clothes than
the Old World rivals, let them show us that
they can devise more sensible and more
beautiful fashions. The task is not a diff
cDlt one

Foster, "but / think am safe in saying that
the minority will Withdraw from the W. q. T.

Miss Esther Pugh, prominent adherent of

will doubtless be the withdrawal of the minor

Had Romance Enough for Awhile.

A stylishly dressed Young woman with big
blue eyes, pink and white cheeks and heavy
yellow hair, called upon Mrs Conkling, of ~
West Twenty-seventh street. late one evening
in the middle of last month. She introduced
herself as Madeline Earlscourt, a penniless
orphan from Richmond Va, in search of work.
Mrs. Conkling gave the girl home till October
20, and then got her position as the COM
panion of Mrs. E. s. Hart, the wife of the
famous Democratic ''stereopticon man."
Madeline was a fine companion. She played
the piano, sang, danced and did dozen other
things which penniless orphans are generally
supposed to know nothing about. These ac-
complishments made Mrs. Hart suspect her
companion Of not being what she pretended to
be. When questioned, however. Madeline
stuck fast to her original story. Last Monday
Madeline started out shopping. Ten minutes
later she came running home with a Washing
ton paper in her hand, broke in upon Mrs.
Hart like bomb, and tumbled down weeping
at her feet. Between her sobs she explained
that she was not Madeline Earls-
court at all, but Belle Brown,
Washington school girl, and that she had
run away from her home to New York to get
some of the romantic EXPERIENCES of which she
had read in novels of the Madeline and
"Earlscourt" style. She had just found per-
sonal for her in the Washington paper in her
hand, to the effect that her mother was very
i'll and that all would be forgiven if she would
only come home. A telegram brought Mr.
Brown here yesterday. He took his daughter
back to Washington last night. Belle is II
years old, well formed, and noticeably refined
in matters of dress. She is a great favorite in
Washington, and her parents were well-nigh
distracted over her mysterious disappearance.
Mr.. Brown employed detectives to search for
her. and reward was also offered for informa-
tion which would lead to the discovery of her
whereabouts. She has promised to be good
and not run away in the future.

through the front of the saloon. and then going

NEW YORK. November 7.-Early in the morn
ing OF October 20 Anna Muessen, 26 years old,
tottered into an EastsIde police station with
little baby boy in her arms. When she reached
the rail in front of the desk she dropped upon
her knees and besought the Sergeant not to
turn her out upon the streets She said that
she and her child were starving. She told how,
shortly after landing at Castle Garden, one
year ago, she had been betrayed and aban-
doned by one who had been an old friend of
her family in Germany. Investigations Of the
Humane Society proved her story to be true,
and she and her child were sent to Wards
Island. Herman Weiss, of Ridgway, Elk coun-
ty, Pa, read the story of this little tragedy in
city daily, and to-day wrote long letter about
it to the police sergeant to whom Anna first
appealed for help. In this letter. which was
received to-day, Mr.. Weiss said: II desire TO
get married, and therefore ask your help. I
read an account in a newspaper of how you so
nobly befriended a poor young German girl
who had been deceived and deserted in her
time of need. If she will consent to live in the
country will make her my wife. Assure her
of good home, as am in fair circumstances.
beg you to kindly assist me in ascertaining
her Whereabouts, and forward an answer" The
letter was sent over to Wards Island for Annals
consideration this afternoon. She has not yet
decided.
