Tho liberty enjoyed by American girls as
tonishes the English as much Us the liberty
of the English girl surprises the French.
From the ago of is, tho American girl Is
allowed almost every liberty. She takes tho
others She can travel alone, and go to
concerts and even to theatres unattended by
n chaperon.
She is supplied with pocket money, which
she spends at her own sweet will in bonbons,
knickknacks and jewelry. If there Is none
left for the milliner and d~ressnaker, papa is
coaxed to pay them. She visits and receives
whom she pleases-I mean those who please
her. She has hsE own circle of acquaintance.
II, ut n ball, she meet with n young man who
takes her fancy, l do not say touches her
heart, she says to him: ~ am at homo on
such a day; come and sec me.n Next day he
may send her a ticket for n theatre and DO
her escort for tho evening. He may bring
her flowers, offer her refreshments after the
play, and take her home in a carriage. In
America, all this seems to be tho most nat
ural thing in the world. This leads to no I'M
timacy, for q few days later it msy happen
that he meets tho young lady ut a ball, and
she comes up to him, and snys: 81 want to
present you to a friend; do tell me your
name, | quite forget ii"
TIL American girl, who appears to us
French so giddy md even fast, seems to mo
to act according to the dictates of common
sense Tired of tho old formula, "a lady
cannot do that, 1t would DO improper she
says: 81 will do it, and II | choose to do It, it
becomes proper" 1t Is for woman herself to
mako the law on these matters "Why
should not go to the theatre aloner' she says
again; IF your streets are impure, 1t Is for
you to cleanse them Why should l not re-
ceive my ball partners who please met II one
OF them were to profit by my seeing him alone
In the drawing room to take n liberty with
me, no would be an III bred fellow, and l
should have him properly shown out of the
house, and certainly it Is not for such as he
that should change my habits.n

In the grounds OF tho lhtter stand conserva-
tories estimated to DO worth $4,000. l trust

/ cannot guarantee hat Mr.. Gould Is n
happy man. Concerning immense fortunes a
witty American friend, rich In moderation,
and n great philosopher, said to mo one day:
"No man can own more than a million
dollars. When his bank account outgrows
that, no does not own It; 1t owns him, and ho
becomes its slave"
Tho Americans, having no king In our
sense Of the word, make the most of those
they have, republicans though they be. To
read the pcdigrees, published In full every
time a death occurs in ono of these rich
families, is highly entertaining. A Mrs
Aston died while | was In America, and, after
the enumeration Of her charms and virtues,
which were many, came the list of John
jacobs from whom her husband had sprung.
The Astors were all John jacobs apparently,
and were mentioned as John Jacob l, John
Jncob ii and John Jacob Ill. Tho line does
not go back very far, John jacob / having
gone to America as n poor emigrant early In

ton OF the present grandeur of his house by
trading in furs
IL will not 10 to inquire too closely into the
way in which somo of Americas m~iIionaires
havo nmassed wealth. Strange stories are
told Of men so grasping that they stopped ut
nothing, even to tho running of their own
sons. When / saw Mr.. Bronson Hownrd,s
clever play, 1.-THE Henrietta In which he
portrays a son so mndly engrossed by the ex-
element Of gambling on the stock exchange
as to try and absorb his fathers millions,
thought tho picture WINS overdrawn- Ameri-
cans, however, told me that the case was his
%torical, but with tho characters reversed
which made it still moro odlous
As for the colossal fortunes of railway
kings, it is well known how thousands Of
small ones go to mako them, how tho rich
mans palace is too often built with the stones
Of hundreds Of ruined homes.
There is no other name than king used in
speaking Of the few great fnanciers, who
hold tho bulk Of the railway stock in America.
But they nrc not the only ones. There arc
oil kings, copper kings, silver kings, md l
know not what other majestics in America,
and when you see tho power possessed by
these, and the numberless trusts, cornbina-
tons and pools, a power pressing often very
closely on the million, you wonder how the
Americans, who found ono king one too
many, should submit so patiently to being
governed by scores.

ANOTHER COLORED SCHOOL.

Father McDermott Establishes One In
PhiladeIphia-Miss Drexel's Intentions
She Will Not Teach.
The following special was received last
night from Philadelphia:
Rev. Father McDermott, who for many years
has been professor at the Holy Ghost College
at Pittsburg, will, on September 2, open Cath
olic school for boys at Ninth and Pine streets.
The building has heretofore been occupied as
a school for girls. taught by the Sisters of
Notre Dame, and for their accommodation the
building at No. 1loS Pine street has been tem-
porarily secured.
Special interest has been taken by Father
McDermott in the education OF colored youths,
and he is considered one of the most competent
educators in the country. 1t is his intention to
provide facilities for giving the boys thorough
course of instruction in all the elementary
branches, and such as may desire it will be
gwen course in practical bookkeeping.
enced corps Of teachers has already been en-
gagged. For boys and young men who are en-
ployed during the day night school will be
opened early in October, and students will be
given a sound, practical business education
"The account recently published of liberal
donation having been made to the school by
Miss Drexel is entirely without foundation"
is Sin in a PIttsburg convent. % She is not paying
any attention to worldly affairs, and If she has
ever been engaged in teaching colored children
no one except the reporters has as yet been
able to find 1t out The announcemenr that
Miss Drexel had given SO literally to the school
has stopped other contributions and the cIrcu-
lation of such a report is calculated to greatly
injure the prospects of an institution that will
depend for its success largely upon charity"
One Of the features of the institution is the
handsome chapel that has recently been fitted
up in a portion of the building Services are
held specially for colored people, ana its capac-
ity is greatly taxed every Sunday morning by
the large number Of people who attend mass.

DOGS FOR HORSES.
A Cripple Who Utilizes a Dog TO Carry
Him About-A Trip Of 900 Miles Made
Iucidepts en- Route.

A Cripple Who UtiIizes a Dog to Carry
Him Abouf-A Trip of 900 Miles Made
Incidents en- Route.
Wonderful stories have been told of the
devotion of dogs and their sagacity in diff
ferent ways, but probably their use as
practical steed has not been paralleled by
an instance brought to notice last night.
Frank Forsyth, of Irwin, has been q Grip
pie since his birth, and for II years has de-
pended wholly on his dogs to draw him from
place to place in a cart weighing, with him
self, 175 pounds. About four months ago
he started on tour through Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, Washington and other points,
driving through the country with his dog,
an intelligent animal of'the shepherd breed
about years old.
Last night he returned from his long
tour, covering over 900 miles, only travelling
a very small percentage of the distance on
the train. His return trip from Harrisburg
was made through the country with his dog
as his horse. The dog obeys his simplest
command, but last night his last long trip
had tired him, and his master decided to
take the train from Pittsburg to his home.
The dog weighs IS pounds, less than half
his load.
Ashe travelled through the country Mr..
Forsyth repaired clocks, etc. He left
Johnstown the night before the flood.
He guides his novel steed by one line,
without whip. The dog will not allow
q stranger to come near his master.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Prospective Company to Locate Large
Supply Factory for Water Works-S5OO,-
900 Capital.

A Prospective Company to Locate n Large
Supply Factory for Water rWorks-S5OO,-
900 Capital.
Mr.. w. Nj. Dodds, business man of New
York, has been in the city the past few days
looking up the business status and resources
of this section. He represents number of
capitalists in New York City who are look
ing out for an investment of their surplus
capital in manufacturing. They propose to
build and operate a large works for the
manufacture of water works supplies, such
as valves, .hydrants. etc. Mr.. Dodds
said that several Pittsburg capi-
taIists had Joined the proposed
company, and he was shown around by
them while here. He would not give their
names, however, until his return and the
arrangements were definitely made.
The capitalization of the company is to be
about $500, 900. Mr.. Dodds hinted that it
might be raised, as the company would
start slow and work up, like other great
corporations of this city he had been told
about.
After going about the city and inspecting
its source of supply and facilities for manu-
featuring and shipping in company with
the Pittsburg parties, he told a reporter
that he was very we'll pleased with Pitts
burg as a location. No other company of
the kind is situated here, and all the ma
terials, such as iron, etc., could be obtained
cheaply near at hand. He said that with
the information he had the establishment of
the company in Pittsburg was pretty sure.
Mr. Dodds returned to New York last
night and will be back in the city in about
a week, when the formation of the company
will be completed.
The mill will probably be located on the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
