Good Play Mt Harris.

"His Natural Life" is being given its first
representation in Pittsburg at Harris this
week. The melodrama is a strong one and in
very capable hands. Each one in the long cast
acquirs himself or herself creditably. lingo
TyrreIl has evidently made deep study of the
role of Josh Graves, and has in it part he
likes to play. Miss Agnes Lane is sweet and
lovable Sylrid Vickers. Will Cowper and
Charles Patterson are among those who have
been seen here during the past season at other
houses, and they are good. as they always are.
George II. Whitman in topical song was
heartily encored at both performances yester-
dav He has made hit. Miss Lillian Andrews
conception of the role of Sarah PurJoy is good.
The mechanical effects are clever, and alto.
gether His Natural Life" is the best bill of
fare offered at this house for long time.

MICHIGAN CAN STAND 1T.

1t is rather amusing to find an interview
going the rounds of the press in which Mr..
Burte. the President of the recently organ
lied salt combination, states that the law of
Michigan prohibiting manufacturing cor
porations with more than $1,000, 900 capital
was the cause OF irreparable loss to Michi-
gan of having the salt combination with $15,-
O00, 900 alleged capital, organized under its
laws. As this 15,OOO,OO in capital was
expended for the purchase of from So, 500, 900
to 100000 worth of property, it Will be
seen that the obstacle to the organization of
the company in Michigan was not the law
of Michigan, but the anxiety of the pro-
moteis to infuse an immense amount of in
fation into their company's capitalization.
The subsequent fact that investors at large
have seen through the trust game of floating
watered stocks, and refused to have any
thing to do with the salt company, may
make it easier for Michigan to bear the loss
than it is for Mr.. Burte to do the same
thing.

a nuFFN,s nIscnVEPY

It is pleasant enough to read that Queen
Victoria took great fancy to Russell Har-
rison when he visited her recently. We
have been given to understand that the
Queen of Great Britain is not easy to please,
and Mr. Harrison has some reason to be
proud of his conquest. But the English
authorities which record the fact that Queen
Victoria was favorably impressed with Rus
sell Harrison go on to say that he impressed
her as "most unassuming man who pos
sesses a great deal of common sense"
Surely we have reason as a nation to be
grateful to Her Majesty. She has made a
remarkable discovery. Here we have all
known Russell Harrison at first, second or
even third hand ever since November last,
and we have never suspected him of being
unassuming or imputed to him the posses
sion of more than his share of common
sense. Perhaps, like prophets, Presidents
sons are not without honor save in their own
country.
We hope Queen Victoria has not been
over-hasty in her judgment of the young
man. The discovery is timely, If it be true.

YOUNG GARFIELD AT COLLEGE.
His Part In the Franks Performed By Boys
at Williams.


From the Kearney (Neb.) Enterprise
Young Jim Garfield is going to be married,
aud that, too, to one of the handsomest girls
in Chicago hear that Jim has steadied down
considerably since leaving college. There was
q time when Jimmy" as he was called. was
one of the leaders in fun and mischief at old
Williams. With the understanding that this
article will not fall under the eyes of the young
lady who is soon to be his wife, perhaps / may
write few things that the public does not
know.
In his college days Jimmy" wore one of those
meek injured innocent" countenances that
member how, on one bright May morning. Sum
day it was, during fierce cane rush IN front OF
the chapel he had hand-to-hand struggle Tor
the possession of a cane with Prof. Perry, the
famous free trade star. The angered Prof"
was about to gain possession of the stick, when
Don Rockwell, young Garfeld's cousin. ar
rived on the scene and took in the situation.
With one jump he was in the midst OF the hight,
and quicker than can tell it, smashed the Pro-
"Prof." reached daylight again there was no
one in sight.
Yes Jimmy Garfield was a cool star. He
could open a campagne bottle as quick as the
best of them: cut recitation on the slimest
pretext and make up a plausible story for the
Professors benefit. / don't remember that he
was ever caught In a college prank, and he mas
been engaged in ''rackets" that would have
ended his college life rather suddenly II he had
been detected.
Jimmy" Garfield was a favorite with the
ladies, and has enjoyed many jolly Irritation
in his Berkshire days Here's congratulations
anyhow.

The Geffysburg Monument Association
Holds n Meeting mt Harrisburg.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
HARRISBURG, July 29.-The Gettysburg
Monument Commission convened in the State
Library to-day to consider designs and locations
for monuments on the battlefield for regiments
not yet represented. The Pennsylvania Re-
serve Corps Association, which desires the cree
tion of memorial hall. instead of monuments,
to commemorate the deeds of the reserves. was
represented by Congressman Atkinson, who was
a. surgeon in the First Reserve Cavalry; Colonel
Chill Hazard, Secretary of the assocla-
ton; Captain John Tayior, Quartermaster
of the division; Colonel r. NJ. Mccoy,
Adjutant General of the division. and Colonel
John Fl. Taggart, of Philadelphia. The uni
versal sentiment of the survivors OF the re-
serves, as expressed by the gentlemen inoi,
Gated. Is against individual monuments and
for consolidated structure. Colonel Hazzarc
stated that the reserves were Indifferent as 70
what designs the commission selected, II II
failed to allow them the erection of a memorial
hail. The commission might go ahead and DO
what the law required, but it would nave 70
assume all responsibility as to designs OF
monuments and their location. Its understood
that the commission will reluctantly assume
this responsibility. The commission will hoid
another meeting at Gettysburg to,morrow.
Adjutapt General Hastings. Colonel Nichol-
son, of the Gettysburg Monument Commission,
and Colonel Kellar, of Bellefonte, had con-
ference to-day for the purpose of completing
the preparation of blanks relating to the trans
portation of troops to Gettysburg on the oc-
casion of the dedication of Pennsylvania monu-
ments on the llth and 18th of September. These
blanks set forth that only soldiers who partici-
pated in the three days fight and who are now
residents of Pennsylvania can be transported
under the law. The Adjutant General esti-
mates that about 1900 soldiers can be ac-
commodated with the S50.000 which the Legs
lature has appropriated. The veterans will
have to furnish their own rations, but tents
will be supplied them. If the applications for
-. Gr1I 80 n u
considered. the State appropriation would more
than be exhausted.

IN criticism upon the remark of the
Boston Traveller, which speaks of EVERY
time the office cat of the Sun Justify
shouts" etc., the Albany Journal declares
that "a cat that shouts would be Curl
osity" This intimation that the tabbies of
Albany have been trained to observe the
golden qualities of silence during their
peregrinations on the back fences of the
New York Capital, is calculated to increase
the attractiveness of that town as resort
for people in need of rest. Perhaps the
Albany cat has been taught to be silent by
observing the awful example of the New
York Legislators.

THE older generation of local newspaper
workers is rapidly thinning out. The late
John C. Barr, whose funeral takes place
to-day, was one of the brightest and best
informed writers for the local press. He
was man whose kindly, sympathetic dis
position made friends under all circum-
stances. Not in newspaper work alone. but
also in knowledge of the details of Pennsyl-
vania and national politics for forty years
back, he was justly esteemed an authority.
Few will be more sincerely regretted in
newspaper ranks than the deceased, whose
gentleness drew people very close to him.

THERE is instruction as we'll as warning
in the fact that the late editorial manager of
the Chicago Times was kicked out OF his
position by the owners of the paper for
taking money from q certain eminent
millionaire of that city as a consideration
for flop of the paper against the annexa-
tion, to which the millionaire was opposed.
The instruction is made more pointed by the
fact that the venal editor was bounced after
an overwhelming vote had shown that he
Topped to the unpopular side.

YOUNG man by the name of Pritt Dawson,
while plowing on the Greenwade farm, not far
from Romney, W. Va, near the site of an old
house. turned up an old rusty pot, which was
filed to the amount of 81, 800 in old Spanish and
Mexican coins. The pieces contain dates be-
tween l7I6 and 1900. The oldest inhabitants
there cannot remember when the house was
last occupied. Nothing now marks the site ex-
cent the ruins of an old chimney. The young,
man is very jubilant over the find and expects
to go into business in Keyser.

any person from keeping more than three
cows within the city limits. This makes a

ordinances. When city lines are extended
so as to make dairy farming leading city
interest, the city ordinances will have to
conform to the needs of the milk business.

THE assertion by the attorney of Henry

it, is rather threadbare. 1t is quite prob

some, when a man is caught in an act of
notorious financial thievery, to have him
plead the baby act on the ground that a
bigger thief was behind him.
