CAUSE OF THE SCARCITY.

With regard to the present high prices of
sugar, the Providence Journal repeats the
argument, which has been made by several
of our contemporaries, that it is not fair to
charge the most recent advances exclu-
sively to the Sugar Trust The Journal
states that the visible supply of sugar in
the whole world is less than three-quarters
of what it was year ago; and that the sup
ply at the four leading ports of this coun-
try is not half the amount visible at the
same points last summer. Hence it is con-
cluded that: 1--WE are simply experienc-
ing now one OF those changes in the price of
staple commodities which are entirely natu-
raj and unavoidable"
This is fair statement on its surface,
but it commits the error of not tracing
deeply enough the causes which often tend
to produce reduction of supply. 1t is by
no means certain that the change in the
price of sugar was, as the Journal says, en-
tirely natural and unavoidable or that twas
not due to the operations of the Sugar
Trust. It is worth while to remember that
in the first two years Of the Sugar Trusts
existence its effect in holding down the
prices of raw sugar at the entry ports of
this country, was as decided as its work
which was more keenly felt by the people
Of this country, in raising the price of the
refined product The fact is that the Sugar
Trust, combining its monopoly with the
low prices already produced by the compe-
tition of beet sugar abroad, reduced the
price of raw sugar SO that it hardly paid
for the cost of raising it. The result of a
marked decrease in the output of sugar was
inevitable; and the effect Of the same cause
is visible in the fact stated by the Journal
that, of the supply which has been pro-
duced, much less share is coming to this
country than formerly. The operations of
the Trust in squeezing the producer may
not have been the sole cause of the reduced
production; but that.it has exaggerated it,
appears on the face OF the facts.
This feature of the market only repeats
the old lesson that artificial interference
with the free action of demand and supply
must inevitably work out its own pen
atty. 1t also shows that the punishment of
such violations of the law of trade is apt to
fall upon the innocent consumer rather
than upon the manipulators who are really
responsible for the trouble.

MAXIM GENEROUSLY APPLIED.

De nOrtuiS niba niSi bonun1, is a maxim
which is being very generously observed
toward the deceased General Cameron.
Some of the characterizations of the de-
ceased would seem to borrow the language Of
singular extravaganza, if it were not a re-
membered fact that it was Simon Cameron s
fortune in the latter years of his life to
hear even such tributes from those who in
earlier times had visited upon his head the
most unsparing and scathing criticism. OF
such for instance, were Judge Kelley and
Ben Brewster, who, from at one time deplor-
ing the inability of language to express the
ofense which General Cameron's course in
politics gave them, came after some years
to regret similar ineficency to state ad-
equately their admiration for both the man
and the politician.
The opposition which General Cameron
met at stages of his long and exciting career
was too hot, and the part he bore in national
as well as State politics was too conspicuous
to make it possible for most of those who
then earnestly and eonscientiously opposed
him to be disposed to revise their opinions
or their judgments now. But the modera-
tion with which alike leading Democrats
and Republicans, who were in opposition,
refer to the political incidents which gave
rise to so much acerbity, and the uniform
acknowledgment they make of the leading
commendable personal qualities Of the man,
are as noticeable as the extreme encomiums
from those who supported his contest.
The wisdom of Cameron in retiring from
the political arena ten years ago is GER
tainly illustrated in the comments now be-
ing made upon his career. 1t was during
the ten years of his retirement that the
bitterest fights occurred in the Republican
ranks. The party under the direction, or
rather domination of his son, Donald, the
present ex-senator, and his colleagues, was
not by any means so harmonious, nor were
the methods of its direction or its acts of
such sort that had the General been con-
eerned he could have escaped continuance
of bitter criticism. But it is the good
fortune of his memory that he was in retire.
ment when these later battles were fought,
and that his notable and picturesque old
age, and the wonderful oheerfulness and
geniality which he showed in il to every
body, regardless of past disputes, inclined
the present generation, to whom the Incl
dents Of his earlier life are little more than
traditions. to take the most generous view
and to apply to him in an unusual degree
the saying Of the ancients, that of the dead
only good should be spoken.

ODD THINGS ON THE HEAD.

In Norway high hat shaped something like
flower pot IS worn, and the Cossack wears =
hat like stovepipe, without brim.
TO-DAY among the Swiss a hat is worn SINH
lar in form to the old Puritan hat. 1t, how
ever, is often ornamented with gay-colored
ribbons about it.
THE marabout or black priest of Mohammed,
who wanders among the African tribes, wears
upon his sable head white cap or fez such as
he expects to wear in Paradise.
In Mohammedan countries the turban Is
found Some of these are scarfs wrapped and
twisted about the head. Others are combina-
tions of scarf and fez with button and tassel.
WHEN stovepipe hats were first introduced
among Indians they usually punched the top
out of them the first thing for the sake of ven-
tilation, as they did not care to have their
heads hot.
AN African hat is in the form of helmet,
woven of rushes or straw, having peak on
top and mask or wiser extending down over
the face. There are two holes or goggles for
the eyes.
THE Chinese mandarins and men of conse.
quence wear little round silk skull caps most
Of the time. These are ornamented on the top
with buttons whose colors denote the order or
rank of the wearer.
A SINGULAR Corean hat Is great round
mat of straw worn by a mourner. This goes
with costume OF coarse cloth. The hat Is
bound down at the sides so as to almost conceal
the head and face of the wearer. He carries
in his hand . screen or fan, and when in the
road anyone approaches him he holds this
screen in frors Of him 90 that IL, together with
the hat, completely conceals him.

tracks. As there is an embarrassment of
riches in the way of other routes that can
almost as cheaply and even more proftably
be taken up between Forbes street and the
Monongahela, it would seem decidedly the
filter policy for the prospectors to adopt one
of these, such for instance as the line of
the abandoned Eastern Heights Railroad.
But whatever objections may arise to par
ticular routes, the general movement for
rapid transit will be heartily welcomed.
Cable and electric railroads are much sought
after by nearly all localities which want
economy of time in getting to the business
center. A true business way of disposing
of rights would look to greater revenue for
the two cities than has hitherto been got
from that source-but so much has been
urged on that score with so little effect that
it seems useless to expect any immediate al
teration in the extremely liberal custom of
councils

SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION.
A Mother Kidnaps Her Child From Public
School Building.

School Building.
CHICAGO, June T.-The Hayes public school
was the scene of a sensational case of kidnap-
ing yesterday afternoon. Hattie. the 12year-
old daughter of John and Celia Thatcher was
stolen by her own mother. The Thatchers were
married in Chicago l3 years ago. Three years
after the marriage Mr.. Thatcher gained suit
for divorce, and the court awarded him the
custody Of the child Hattie then 2 years of
age. Mr.. Thatcher gave the little girl into her
grandmother's care.
At the close of the public school term one
year ago Mrs. Thatcher. who had made many
deavored to abduct her from the school yard.
The attempt was unsuccessful as the child was
afraid of her mother and refused to 60 with
her. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before
school closed, a carriage closely curtained was
driven up to the Hayes school and a woman
alighted. She entered the school building and
went directly to room eight. The teacher re-
sponded to her knock, and the woman said she
was Mrs. Thatcher and asked to see her daugh-
ter Hattie, but the girl refused to go to the
away. About five minutes later the door
opened and Mrs. Thatcher dashed into the
room. She seized the little girl around the
waist and started for the door.
Miss Harmon interrupted her at the door and
made determined resistance. Mrs. Thatcher
was much larger and more powerful than the
teacher and succeeded in getting the door
partially open. Then Miss Harmon called for
the pupils to assist her and they came in a
body, Just at this moment young man wear
ing a very heavy mustache entered the room,
and throwing Miss Harmon and the children to
one side, took the struggling child from Its
mothers arms and rushed down the stairway
followed by the mother. The man choked the
child so she could not scream. The cabman
stood with the door Of the vehicle open and
they entered hurriedly. Then Mrs. thatcher
applied handkerchief to the little girls face
and she lay perfectly quiet and the cabman
turned about and drove rapidly away. The
police were notified and are at work on the
case. The chllds father and grandmother are
much distressed.

ODD ITEMS FROM FOREIGN SHORES.

DURING the month of May no fewer than 43
suicides were committed in Vienna, total
which for that month has not been reached for
many years past.
THE escape of swindler by means of bal

which is both astonishing and delightful It
gives distinct vision Of objects 20 30 feet off,

WE are told that the frock coat which has re-
Gently almost disappeared from London, has
been brought back through the influence of
the Prince of Wales. His friends all haye
abandoned the tall hat for race meetings, and
the curious combination for mems costume,
known as the bowler or checked coat, waist
coat. and trousers from three different suits,
are, under the Princes leadership, in great
fashion. A dark blue dress coat. with brass
buttons. Is expected to be the subject of his
next effort. though such previous attempts
ended in failure.

PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, JUNE 2s, 1889.
THE DEATH ROLL.

Exactly how many lives were lost in the
valley of the Conemaugh in the great food
seems unlikely ever to be known. The
records on the subject are by no means clear
at present. and every day that passes seems
to make the definition of the number of the
dead more difficult In the first days after
the great disaster :here was, and rightly,
more attention paid to the living than the
dead. Instant help for the homeless, stsrv-
ing refugees was every ones first thought
Many of the dead that were drawn from the
rivers and the wreckage left by the food
when the relief corps first reached the scene
were buried without accurate registration.
A regular system in keeping the mortuary
list was not adopted till many days had
elapsed. Hence, when the available figures
are footed up to-day, the smallness of the
total loss of life is legitimate cause for
surprise.
In another place in this issue q cor
respondent of THE DISPATCH goes over
this subject rather fully. He finds that
authorities disagree more or less as to the
number Of the dead and the value of the
property destroyed. For the time being the
latter part of the question need not be dis
cussed. Mr.. Clark, who made directory
Of Johnstown in this year, and who is there
fore competent to some extent to speak upon
the subject, thinks that not more than 5000
lives were lost. Another authority Of some
standing puts the total 1000 below this.
And yet two or three days ago the doctors
working at Johnstown agreed that the list
of dead would be not less than 10000. Yes
terday, on rather vague basis, report
emsnated from Johnstown that at least
Il, 900 persons were dead or missing. The
figures of the dead recovered and buried
vary almost as considerably.
The officials engaged in registering the
living say that only 5000 names are on
their books, and express rather sanguine
belief that as many more names will be
added in day or two. We hope this belief
will be realized. The facts, however, do
not appear to justify it. We shall be very
sgreeablv surprised if the loss of life goes
considerably below IL, 200 instead of slightly
above that number.

thine is money" is the most popular of
proverbs now. The mechanical appliances
which have superseded horse-fesh as a
motor explain the situation. As most Of
these enterprises involve incidentally at
least, the growth of the community, the en-
hancement of property-values, and the con-
venience and comfort of the public, they are
to be commended and encouraged in the
bulk. The single one among them which is
likely to challenge exclusive and possibly
determined opposition is that which con-
templates the use of Forbes street, now the
only unobstructed avenue to the East End.
There is certainly force in the point that it
would be well to leave one street clear Of

Some Rather Precocious Children.

James Hanning and Edward Hea1ey, IA years
old, broke into Mrs. Healey's room with an ak
during her absence. Young Healey packed up
his mothers clothes while Hanning stole her
jewelry. They pawned everything they could
carry away, and then induced two l4-year-old
girls from Kinneys Tobacco factory to 60 on a
spree with them. The four children bought
and drank ten quarts of beer. Then they lay
down drunk in an alley and slept. A police
man who found them there locked them up.
They were committed to the care of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

AN ENJOYABLE RECITAL.
The Residents of Lawrenceville Apprecia.
81 &c

The Residents of Lawrenceville Apprecia-
tive of Good Music.
The organ recital given last evening in the
Butler M. E. Church was in every way most en-
joyable, as well as fair success financially
The rain kept many away, but in spite of the
weather the large auditorium Of the beautiful
church was well filled.
Prof. Carter. the well-known organist played
all his numbers with marked skill, expression
and fine feeling. Then the new organ was in
such perfect tone that the pleasure was agree
ably heightened.
Harry B. Brockett, Jr., was the tenor of the
evening, as was Miss Sadie E. Ritts the soprano;
Miss Olive R. Mckinley, the contralto and Mr..
G. NJ. Rorah the basso
The singers all did exceptionally well, and re-
ceived liberal applause, Mr.. Brockett, of course,
showing the good results of his European
training Miss Ritts, who has been creating no
little stir in musical matters here recently and
who is deservedly growing more popular every
time she Sings did even better than on any pre-.
yious occasion in this city. If her future success
Is as certain as the fact that her full rich voice
was appreciated last evening, then she can be
confident of the place among singers she de-
serves.
Mr.. Rorah and Miss Mckinley are new and
promising local singers. They both have very
good voices.
