THE EXPOSITION BOOMING.

No less than twenty thousand persons
passed through the Exposition gates yester-
day. Every day from now on the increase
in the number of visitors will be notable.
The people are realizing what wonderful
collection of rare, beautiful and useful
things are to be seen in the handsome build
ing beside the Allegheny. Yesterday the
splendid exhibition of flowers gave an i'm
petus to the attendance.
There are signs everywhere of that bene-
fetal influence upon the city which we pre-
dicted would proceed from the Exposition.
1t is having very strong effect already
upon the neighborhood surrounding it.
There is talk of new buildings, improved
streets, additional means of transit, and
other desirable innovations The Point is
sure to lose its unenvisble reputation before
long. In another part of this issue will be
found a description of new electric rail-
road which it is planned to carry about the
lower part of the city in such a way as to
make connecting belt. This is one of the
direct results of the Exposition. Other and
more important results involving an invest
ment of much capital are to be expected.
And the city, as whole, shares in the bene-
fits conferred upon section.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
Friends Tender Mrs. Hainsworth n Fnre-
well Racanfian.

well Reception.
A farewell reception was rendered to Mrs.
and Miss Hainsworth at their residence, Penn
avenue by some prominent Lawrenceville peo-
pie last night The affair, though gotten mp
under the guise of secrecy, was nevertheless
very splendid entertainment. Mr.. Hams
worth who, 1t will be remembered, severed his
connection with the mill that bears his name
to start similar establishment In Seattle
Wash, some months ago, preceded his family
to their future home Last night the friends
of the family took the opportunity of saying
''goodby."
Edibles OF every kind were prepared and sent
to house opposite the Hainsworth mansion
by the committee who had charge Of the ar
rangement. About o'clock 90 people crowded
on the steps of the house and sang farewell
ode The people inside the house were startled
at this unusual proceeding, and went to the
door to see what was the matter. Imagine the
surprise when the door was opened to be con-
fronted with host of friends familiar and
dear to them. The party was invited inside.
and in e,os rev minutes took possession a. OF the
as charades and other amusements OF like
character.
About 10 o'clock a ring came to the door
with another surprise. Six young maidens
dressed in white, laden with choice viands,
gained admittance and spread out table that
made the epicure's palate tingle. A more en-.
ticing cold collation. could not be desired, nor
more beautiful arrangement of the table. Mag
nificent cut flowers were layishly strewn
across the table.
An elegant souvenir was presented to Miss
Hainsworth by her friends in the shape of an
elaborately worked autograph.
The COMMITTEES who had charge of the affair
are the following:
Messrs. j. w. Kinnear. H. ID. Evans. Jesse
Hitler, Harvey Wentz, DIR. Pearce and DIR. Cam
eron. and Misses Laura Crime, Kate Crime, Leah
Fetzer, Mollie Clark and number Of others.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY. SEP. 20, 1889.
PLAIN TALK FROM MR. BLACK.

The Hon. Chauncey f. Black talked
with more that his wonted freedom and
force to a DISPATCH correspondent al
Philadelphia yesterday. The ex-Lieutenant
Governor spoke plainly Of his party's plans,
the issues Of the campaign, of his own
modest disposition to run for Governor next
year if the Democrats forced the nomination
upon him, but his plainest and most
pointed words were directed to the
alleged attempt of Mr.. Wallace to secure
that nomination for himself 1t is not un-
fair to the man who fought through the last
Gubernatorlal campaign with indubitable
courage, though scant success, to say that he
gives Mr.. Wallace notice that he is above
chasing delegates for next years conven-
tion, and that he plainly adds that Mr..
Wallace ought to be above those practices
also. The tone Of Mr.. Blacks remarks can
hardly fail to draw a rejoinder of some sort
from Mr. Wallace.
An interesting point aside from person
alities in Mr.. Blacks declaration is the re-
affirmation of his adherence to the policy of
tariff reform as constituted by ex-President
Cleveland. Mr.. Black may still be set
down as a friend of the Cleveland idea gen.
orally. More than that, he says the Demo
cratic party in this State must remain true
to Cleveland's principles if it wishes to
stand any show of winning. The straight
out attitude of Mr.. Black is worthy of him.
He may not accumulate spoils 10 any ex-
tent, but he has the courage of his con-
victions on all occasions.

PATRIOTISM WELL PLACED.

Surprise has been expressed in certain
quarters because Secretary of the Navy
Tracy telegraphed his congratulations to e1-
Secretary Whitney upon the successful trial
Of the cruiser Baltimore, and because Mr..
Whitney answered in a friendly way ex-
pressing his confidence in Mr.. Tracy's abil-
ity to still further improve the navy. 1t is
certainly somewhat unusual fer Republicans
to congratulate Democrats, or Uice versG, on
their services to the republic. The gulf be-
tween partiSans is usually too great to per-
NIT justice, much less public courtesy, to be
done BY one to the other. But the Secretary
OF the Navy and his predecessor are heartily
to be congratulated that they have allowed
patriotism so conspicuously to triumph over
party feelings.
II the country's interests are to be studied
first and all the time in the administration of
the navy by the party in power, Uncle Sam
will always have ships that he need not be
ashamed of. 1t is department of the Gov
ernment in which the country may be
greatly served or grossly abused. We have
seen more abuse than service there since the
end of the war of the Rebellion. Even
Secretary Whitney took unnecessary pains
to cast contumely upon what has proven to
be the eficient.work of the late Mr.. Roach
in the new ships planned under Republi-
can Secretary. In other respects Mr.. Whit
ney labored earnestly and to good effect to
give the country a formidable navy. There
is every reason to believe that Secretary
Tracy will carry on the good work on the
highest patriotic plane. And the nation is
not likely to forget the restorers of her
navy

Filtration Not Tolerated.

The seven last spring got information that a
young married woman was smitten with one
of the young members, and she was so agreea-
BILE that he confessed he couldn't resist her
charms. He was warned that unless he be-
haved himself, he would be dismissed and pub
lished to his friends. Two warnings completely
cured him. A kind letter was also sent to the
lady's husband, which was appreciated. on due
reflection, by both. The club has had good
deal of trouble with one membe, who persists
in his attachment to heartless. but beautiful,
lcoquette. Two committees reported that the
lady had no love for any man with real heart,
and that she was unworthy of the man she was
leading such wild chase. He pleaded, but to
no purpose. The alternative was to leave the
club or give up the f1irt. The last debate on
this case was on hot night in August on
the top floor of a four-story house. The win
dows were open, and some of the discussion
was heard on the street. When the love-sick
fellow gave in, all seven sang to a guitar ac-
compartment, Trust Her Not; She's Fooling
Thee, 'and "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground"
Since that time the seven give 1t out that they
are glee club.

WORTHY OF PENSIONS.

Very recently the United States Military
Corps of Telegraphers has been in conven-
tion at Louisville, and the members present
resolved to urge every member of the corps
to take an active part in the effort to secure
pensions from the next Congress. The New
York Sun, commenting upon this resolu-
tion, says sarcasticallv:
Perhaps there may be intervening groups,
hut il would seem that the next body of Gov
eTnment employees to appear as applicants for
some special share in the United States Treas
ury would be the department clerks. 1t cannot
be said that they served between '61 and '65
without personal risk to themselves Washing
ton was once in Danger of capture.
The sarcasm is hardly justified. Anyone
who will take the trouble to read q very in
teresting paper in the Century magazine for
September describing briefly the services of
the telegraphers in the field during the war
will be forced to admit that the men who
took the telegraph into battle assumed the
same risks as the combatants, and deserve
the same consideration. According to the
authority we speak of, many telegraph oper-
ators were killed in action, others shared In
the horrors of Southern prisons, and not a
few were wounded. Not one of them has
received a pension. Neither have the
widows some of them left behind. The
bravery. the hardihood, and the genius of
these men, of whom General Eckert was one,
have never been properly recognized by the
country, we are assured. The greatest GEN
erals on the Union side have testified to the
value of their services over and over again.
If any of them are suffering now for what
they did for the country between 1861 and
1865 we can conceive of none better entitled
to pensions.

old canal. It is the fate of most canals in
this part of the world. The railroads have
driven them out of competition first, and
have then even usurped the very ground
through which their placid waters flowed.
The floods of last May put an end to another
long stretch of canal which used to be a
