ladies who want to buy gloves. Before I
put that table in, the gentlemen came to the
counter with the lady and the lady ordered
her gloves. The next day they came back

ITALIANS MUST GO.
Controller Morrow Says They Will
Give Way to Americans.
THE MAYOR ALSO AGAINST THEM.
Superintendent Mcknight 10 be Confronted
by Citizens.
MAY PROVE CHARGES AGAINST BIN

The question of employing Italians at
Schenley Park came up again yesterday for
discussion at City Hall. Mayor Gourley,
Controller Morrow and Superintendent
james Mcknight each played hand, and
for time things were lively. But the end
is not yet and number Of gentle tiffs are
expected in the hall during the next few
days.
The time of the opening chapter was early
yesterday morning, when Mayor Gourley
asked Superintendent Mcknight for an ex-
planatlon of the matter of his employing
italian laborers. Not satisfied with the in
formation, the Mayor visited Controller
Morrow and asked why he was signing war
rants for the pay Of aliens when the city
laws implicitly state that only citizens Of
the United States should be given employ
ment on the public works.
ACTING UNDER INSTRUCTIONS.
To this Controller Morrow replied he was
acting under the instructions of Chief Bige-
low; that it was impossible to obtain
American laborers, and therefore the city
had to employ Italians He knew it was
contrary to the city ordinance, but under the
circumstances it could not be helped.
The matter was then dropped, but soon
after gentleman whose name the Controller
refused to give, called on him and stated
that there had been 20 or 80 Americans who
had made application for work at Schenley
Park, but had been refused by Mr.. Nc
knight. Mr.. Morrow stated the man who
gave him the information was perfectly re-
liable and he could depend on what he said.

matter further. In speaking OF it he said:
81 will send communication to the De.
partment of Public Works and to Superin-
tendent Mcknight. 1 want them to come
and see me and will have the men who
were refused work there also. The story
will be sifted to the bottom.
TO ENFORCE THE Law.
'I mean to enforce the ordinance and if it
is possible to get American citizens to work,
the Italians will have to be discharged. Of
course they would have to be men who
would do full days work. mean that
every competent American citizen who
applies for work shall get it. If it is possi-
BILE to get citizens of Pittsburg I will not
issue warrants for the payment of the
Italians.
Superintendent Mcknight says: 'fOnly
one American has been discharged and that
was because he was sick. suspended him
and he did not come back. If could get
sufficient number of American citizens, I
would discharge every italian in the park.
I am willing to give citizens work and will
give them the preference, but they won't
come. can not be expected to take fish
net and 90 about through the streets of Pitts
burg capturing all the American citizens
who have no work. Any that will come can
find a job"
Chief Bigelow is out of this trouble for
the present. A cablegram yesterday an
nounced his safe arrival in England. The
voyage was pleasant one, and he will pro-
coed without delay to the business for which
he crossed the ocean.

Hso, your baking powder is adulterated

unscrupulous manufacturers simply to

palatable and wholesome.
"Cleveland's Superior has the peculiar

THE BI1ou OPENING.
A Good Many improvements In the Prct'y
and Popular Thenter.

Good Many improvements In the fret'y
and Popular Theater.
The Bijou Theater, prettier than ever, and
improved In various ways, was opened 10
the press last night for private view. ine
changes from last season are details affecting
the comfort and safety of the audience
chiefly, with the exception of sundry artistic
additions to the attractiveness of the house.
The entrance to the lobby has been repalnted
in white and gold, and velvet carpet has
been laid upon the stairs. There are sundry
important improvements in the way OF
nicely appointed lavatories, etc., and new
ice water fountain. A very handsome
shield supported by battle axes, all OF SOLID
brass, will announce matinees, and the
patrons of the parquet will take their pro-
grammes from a hammered brass table.
Electric lights have taken the place OF gas
in the footlights and orchestra lamps-thus
completing the electric illumination OF the
house.
But the most notable addition artistically
to the theater, however, is the new drop
curtain painted by Mr.. Tim Carroll, the
Bijou scenic artist. Mr.. Phil Weis' excel
lent orchestra struck up lively air last
night as the crimson plush curtain was
uFaWH DacK revealing nr. CarrOil uanui-
work. The new drop is very pretty thing
in every way. 1t is picture framed in
silver picked out with blue, and draped
with crimson curtains 1t represents
scene in Paris century or so
ago. There is glimpse of the park on one
side and of the city on the other, and love-
making in the foreground are grisette and
her cavalier. A stretch of lawn runs up to
q stone balustrade, and other couples in the
distance are discovered in affectionate atti-
tudes. The scheme of the scene is in the
brightest of colors; the contrasts are sharp
and the general effect airy and cheerful.
Mr.. Tim Carroll has done exceedingly we'll.
The dressing rooms and the stage gen.
orally, as well as the auditorium, have been
thoroughly cleaned aud frightened up. All
these things, and supper served in admir-
able style by Schlosser were observed with
great satisfaction by the newspapermen,
and it can be safely said that the public has
never had better or prettier theater than
the Bijou is this year. Tonight Cleveland's
minstrels will open the theater to the public.
