uish the Music-PossibIlity of Singing
Societies Offering Their Services.
Chief Bigelow is bound to make Schenley
Park popular, and, in his different moves to
that end, has received encouragement on
every hand. The latest scheme is to give
band concerts in the park every Tuesday
and Saturday evenings for the benefit of the
workingmen and the populace in general. The
inaugural concert will be given next Saturday

repertoire Of patriotic and popular airs. Gus

Williams leader. New uniforms have lust
been received and the boys will spread them
selves in honor of being the first band to
play in the city's new breathing place. The
musical programme will be given to the public

join the list of music donors. Chief Bigelow
says that the new park is for the special enjoy
ment of everyone, and it is proposed to take
every means possible to make it popular

Later vocal concerts may be added. There
are any number of English, German and
Welsh singing societies in the city, and no
doubt nearly all of them would be willing to
contribute their services for one night. All
these things will come up for after considera-

and Nearly Cracks Her skull.
Mrs. Mary Dougherty, who lives in the
rear of 141 Webster avenue, jumped from
the second story window last night and
struck her head against the wall of the ad-
joining house and was knocked senseless.
Yesterday report was made to the Anti
Cruelty Society charging Mrs Dougherty and
her husband with drinking and neglecting and
abusing their four children. Agent Dean went
up to investigate the matter, and as he knocked
at the door he heard someone throw up win
dow, and then Mrs. Dougherty threw herself
out He went to her assistance at
once and carried her into the house. In
short time she regained consciousness
She asserted that she jumped out of the
window TO get away from her husband who
wanted to assault her, and that she had per-
formed the feat once before successfully. AS
Dougherty could not be found in the house,
Superintendent Dean concluded that she had
been apprized of his coming and wanted to
escape HIM.
An examination of the house showed it to be
in bad condition. There are four children. the
eldest 10 years of age, and two of them are
quite sick with measles. As the children
would have been alone Superintendent Dean
decided to leave Mrs. Dougherty at home. He
will make an information against her to-day.

Men Lack the Courage TO Ask Ladies the
Necessary Questions.
what did you think Of the census takerf'
was asked yesterday afternoon of little
woman who is noted among her circle of &C
quaintances for her brightness and brlliancy.
"Oh, the one who censused us was quite
nice man; he did all the prevaricatIng himself;
that is if he filled up the blanks. for he didn't
ask us any of those ridiculous questions about
insanity or disease, probably because he knew
they wouldn't be answered truthfully. Any
way he simply saved himself the trouble.
"A man never would have the courage to ask
all those questions and never would get the
truth of the matter if he did" continued the
speaker. why didn't they appoint from each
district the Mrs. Grundy who is the dread of
all the residents and who knows everything
about everyone and their grandparents, and
who. in her official tour. would be sure to CLEAN
any little item of information that might have
escaped her in her self-imposed task of infor-
nation seeking. II there really was anything
to be gained by Uncle Sam being cogniZant of
all the private affairs of his children, women
would be much more successful in the role of
interrogators and would doubtless perform
their duties with much more JUNCTION and more
faithfully and be able to keep the secrets after
they had received them, which q man never can

"That is toothpick 6end, said a clerk
in one of the largest hotels yesterday, as he
pointed to man who had two toothpicks
In his mouth, and was trying to get hand
full into his vest pocket. 'He is one of the
oiass of people who come into the hotel through
the bar entrance and after taking 5-cent drink
and l5cent free lunch, strolls into the office
and struts around as IL he was S5-a-day
boardcr. He brushes all the flies off the coun-
ter with his arms as he reaches over
in a patronizng way. and asks for the
imaginary train, and inquiring about the con-

entrance to the hotel he stops and picks the
remnants of his free lunch out of his teeth,

Why don't we k1ckf What good would it
do? 1t would only cause scene, and the best
thing to do is to pay no attention to him.
Sometimes we say something about the tooth
picks, but not often.
People have no idea what toothpicks cost
u.s." continued the clerk. Hotels like the Mo-
nOngahela House, the Anderson and the Sew
enth Avenue are under an expense Of about
S3O0 per year for the small pieces OF wood. AT
the Schlosser the management has introduced
something new in toothpicks the wood for
them is first cut, and after the pieces have
been carefully selected they are placed in
vessel and stepped in cinnamon. This gives
peculiar, rich flavor to the wood, pleasing
to the taste. AT the Monongahela House
different kinds of toothpicks are TO be found.
This house probably spends more money than
any other IN town for its teeth-priers. The
guest can have his choice of quill or wooden
toothpick. On the tables are found small bundles
of Japanese toothpicks. tor the use of ladies.
They are made in Japan, and are very expen-
sive in this country. The other toothpicks are
made in New York and Maine.
"At the Anderson the Club toothpick IS
used. 1t is piece of selected wood, which has
been put through steaming process The
same kind is used at the Duquesne; they will
not split or break easily AT the Seventh Ave-
nue. the ordinary wooden toothpcks are used.

The Western Roads of the Pennsylvania
System Net In the strike.
Prominent Allegheny railroaders were seen
yesterday in regard to the effect that the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston strike will have
on the western roads of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN. There is little apprehension felt by the
various companies. Superintendent Hutchin-
son, of the West Penn, said:
Il have not heard a word of discomfort among
our men, and there is no indication to show the
slightest possibility of the employees on the
West Penn being involved in the troubles of
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
strikers"
The following comment was made in the
Office of the P, Ft. w. & c. road: 1.-THE strike
on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
road is at present of comparatively
small proportions, but it is hard
to say where such things will end,
There has been no expression of dissatisfaction
among the Fort Wayne road employees so far,
and the strike will most likely not affect the
interests of this company"

H. c. Frick, Chairman of Carnegie Brothers &

THE cut in the duty would certainly have a
very serious effect upon the steel rail trade
The proposed reduction in the Mckinley bill
would have effected the duty, but sweeping
cut like that proposed by the Senate would in
vite all The English steel rail manufacturers to
enter the United States and compete with
home manufacturers for the market, especially
in the Southern States. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that in order TO secure contracts the for
eien manufacturers would reduce prices mate

would receive a dangerous blow.
