DIFFERENT VIEWS OF IT.

The consideration of the question of site
for the main buildings of the Carnegie
Library, which was alluded to by the DIS
PATCH yesterday, is taken up with spirit
by our evening contemporaries; and that
they do not agree, but distinctly disagree,
rather adds to the interest of the occasion.
The Chronicle Telegraph is pronounced in
favor of the acceptance Of Mr.. Clarke's gen.
srous offer OF the handsome tractat Oakland;
the Leader thinks that Oakland does not
suit, but that the Duquesne way ground, or
that upon which the present postofice
stands would be best; while the Press is not
less emphatic that the proper place is the
commanding eminence in the neighborhood
of the Court House.
There is nothing like full comparison of
notes on the subject. The peculiar topo-
graphical situation Of the city and distribua
ton OF the residence quarters, makes q
choice that will please everyone out of the
question. But the more the subject is dis
cussed the better the commission will be
able to judge, and the reader the public to
give approval to its ultimate decision.
Meanwhile, as will be seen by our ''Mail
Pouch" there is still another suggestion
from q correspondent, who thinks the
Diamond Market would be about the proper
place, if the present old buildings were re-
moved. There are a good many people who
will think that this last is the best sugges-
ton of the batch.

THE EGG oYER-PRopUCTroN

1t is painful to learn that the last example
of pernicious activity in the line of ruinous
over-production is presented by the hens OF
the nation. Undeterred by the great COM
mercial industries engaged in the selling OF
picked eggs at 80 cents per dozen, the
American hens have been misled by the
mild winter into turning out a supply of
fresh eggs that has knocked the picked and
artificial egg business into a condition close
ly spproximating panic. We have mot
heard that any complaint of this state of af-
fairs is made by the consumers of eggs but
the proprietors of the more antique stocks
are plainly convinced that the interests of
the nation will be sadly injured if the pub
lie gets too cheap and too fresh eggs A
movement to put the hens into a trust which
will restrict the industrious fowls to a pro-
duction of two eggs per week is the obvious
remedy according to the economic policy of
the day.

Palace Rink on Frankstown avenue, was one
Of the busiest and most interesting places in
the city last evening The ladies of the Sacred
Heart Church took possession Of the rink early
in the morning, and under their management
an Alladin.like change transformed the COM
modious, barren apartment into a cozy, at
tractive, festooned affair. One side of the
rink presented brilliant appearance with a
succession of prettily arranged booths. The
dainty wares of which appealed to the purse
through the eye, while the fragrant odors from
the opposite side, where the supper was served,
proved that not only through the stomach is a
mans heart reached, but also his pocketbook.
The ladies who were in charge we're kept
busy from the time the doors were thrown open
to the public until late hour in supplying the
wants OF the eager visitors. They were as fol-

THE ExTIRPAr1oN OF DISEASE.

1t is of interest to the whole human race,
that the science of extirpating disease has
been carried by DR.. Hercules Sanche, of
Detroit, to degree of perfection which will
cause the elixir of life to hide its abashed
head. DR.. Sanche has discovered the
method of wiping out all disease, without
regard to its character or origin, by the pro-
cess of "EleetroIibration;" the name of
which alone, is almost enough to make a
sick man well, or we'll man sick.
The method of DR.. SAnehe is one which,
from its simplicity, makes it appear remark
able that it was never discovered before, He
describes the process both of discovery and
of application, by saying: 81 first discov-
cred simple method OF producing disease
of almost any kind or degree. by easy play
on the natural laws connected with indue-
ton, which were heretofore unobseryed."
Having found how to produce disease, it
suddenly appears by a fash, that all that is
necessary to cure disease, is to reverse the
operation, and by turning his induction
backward, as it were, and bringing the sci
ence of Decentralization" into full play,
the enterprisiDg doctor declares that he can
make that mysterious process, wipe out all
human ailments.
This is very satisfactory, and described in
the doctors language, appears highly scien-
tifc, but its originality is made somewhat
doubtful by the fact that it was described
long ago by an alleged doctor in language
much more closely approaching the vernac-
ular. 1t is practically the same process de-
scribed by the old quack who said: "When
1 find man and don't know what the mat
ter of him is, 1 frighten him into fits, and
I'm death on fits"

TWO sides 10 THE SHIELD.

The recent decision OF the State Supreme
Court with regard TO the legal status of bene-
fciary organizations, having sickness and
death benefit features, generally regarded as
victory for that large class Of organizations
1t is so in an important sense, as freeing them
from the legal duties and obligations of in
sursnce companies, and as defeating the
effort OF the insurance companies to vacate
the charters of such as do not comply with
the legal regulations for life insurance COM
panies.
Yet the decision rests on q basis which is
likely to afford good deal Of aid and COM
fort to the enemy. The Supreme Court re-
verses the holding OF the Attorney General
and the lower court, and declares that these
organizations are not insurance companies.
But the ground Of this ruling is Une which

fcisry organizationh 1t ia stated by the re-

A BIT oF RELIEF HISTORY.

q The report of the Committee on Supplies
of the Pittsburg Relief Commission gives a
matter-of-fact recital of the active work done
BY that organization for the relief of Johns
town. The efforts recounted there resulted
in bringing the first relief to the destitute
and stricken survivors of the awful calamity.
1t will always be gratifying recollection
that, as shown in this report, the entire pop
ulation of Pittsburg rose to the occasion and
joired in bringing in supplies as fast and
in some eases faster, than they could be sent
forward by rail, That the suspension of rail-
way traffic delayed some of these supplies
on their errand of mercy was a misfortune
for which no one could be blamed. The gen.
erositY which made this relief so abundant
and prompt is one of the bright spots which
stand out among the dark surroundings of
that terrible disaster.

ESPECIAL TELEoRAA TO THE DIsPArcH,I
PHILADELPHIA, February l2-The ways of
fate are not half as mysterious as the art
which enables a woman to pack a pile of goods
sxl6, into 4x8 trunk. An illustration of this
wonderful feminine faculty was given yester-
day in Judge Gordon's court in the suit of
Mrs. Laura Dalsen against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to recover damages for the
loss of trunk. In the course of her testimony
Mrs. Dalsen showed that she had slowed away
nearly 500 worth of drygoods and sundries in a
Slb trunk. Mrs. Dalsen was, before her mar
riage to DR.. Charles W. Dalsen, Miss Laura v.
Hayes, a member of the MoCauE Opera Com
paDy. She is slender demi-brunette, of pre-
possessing appearance and with a dramatic de-
livery. Mrs Dalsen told the Court and Jury
how, in 1884, the company had to make Jump
from this city to Boston, and that the trunk she
had expressed, and for which she held check

promenade alp seemed to he the order
upon which the visitors at the Carnegie Library
in Allegheny acted yesterday afternoon and
evening. The crowds which thronged the
building and the paYements surrounding the
two sides where the entrances were did not
differ materially from the ones that occupied
the same space the afternoon and
evening of the day preceding From the
moment that the heavy doors were opened in
the afternoon and the policemen assumed their
positions the public availed themselves of the
privilege rendered them to enjoy the beauties
of the hall and the organ recital.
If possible, the music hall was more an object
OF interest than on the day before. Mr.. John
Pritchard was the first to take his position at
the magnificent organ, and it responded
manner. Miss Sarah 81. Kilikeily,
Mr.. Pritchard, and in her usual accom-
plished style, tested the purity, sweetness and
power of the huge structure before her in a
way that brought forth charming results. In
the evening Mr.. Charles DAVIS Carter appeared
before a solidly packed audience, which not
only filled the music hall and gallery, but ex-
tended 10 the outside doors of the hall adjoin-
ing. be interpreted the music of faVorite
fashion that it could not fail TO please not only
the audience, but himself, because of their ap-
probation of his efforts.
Mr.. Joseph H. Cuttings at 9l5 o'clock, with
his rare touch and wonderful execution, rem
dered the organ a creature of life, tiguratively
speaking, and for one hour the hall resounded
with beautiful strains, the effect of which Mr..
Cuttings was the cause
1t will afford the citizens Of the two cities
considerable pleasure to know that the library
will be open again to-day between the hours of
and 10 o'clock and the organ recitals which
are SO much enjoyed, will be continued.
The art room was just as crowded yesterday
and last evening as upon the opening day and
seemingly by a different people, although oc-
casionally familiar face could be recognized,
who, lover Of art, perhaps, was utilizing every
moment in studying the beautiful paintings
exhibited.
As before stated, the library will be open to-
day, while tomorrow and the day following
the ladies interested in the Allegheny General
Hospital will have possession of the building
and an entertainment of beauty and supper
of wonderful desirability will be conducive to
the enjoyment of the guests and reinforce the

WOMEN AND THE MAILS.

Women and civil service reform have
scored a victory in BrattIeboro, Vt. Re
FORMS victory lay in the retention of an
efficient postmaster, and the women scored
by obtaining the right to vote upon the ques-
ton of his retention. The postmaster
term was about to expire and the Republi-
cans Of Brsttleboro decided to retain him IL
a majority of their party were in his favor.
The novel addition to the list of voters was
made by the declaration that women
twenty-one years of age whose sympathies
were with the Republican party in the last
campaign and who were listed either in
their own name or jointly shall be entitled
to vote, otherwise not"
The women, to the number of seven
ty-fve, accordingly voted solidly for
the postmaster's retention and their
votes carried the day. 1t is said
that the women conducted q vigorous and
practical campaign, and showed themselves
in every way entitled to the novel privilege
extended to them.
In small towns and in rural districts it is
undoubtedly fact that the fair portion of
the population is deeply concerned in the
character of the postmaster. The women
in such places have more dealings with the
postmaster than the men, They go for the
mails as a general rule, and they are
the best judges of the postmaster's
conduct in Office. 1t is matter of great
importance to them that the man who pre-
sides over the postoffice should be expedi-
tious and courteous. Perhaps courtesy is
even more desirable in their eyes than any
other quality. Willingness and ability to
disseminate the scsDty news OF q rural
neighborhood are regarded by the adorable
sex as high endowments in the postmaster.
Some officials have been led, they say, to
more diligent perusal Of postal cards, hand
writing and other details of the mail service
than is absolutely necessary and lsudable
BY desire to cater to the tastes OF their
feminine customers. However, we are dis
posed to regard the drawbacks as trivial as
compared with the advantages OF giving the
women a voice in the selection of post
masters in small towns and rural places
