TAXING POWER CURTAILED,
The Ninth Ward School Board Bump.
Against the Commonwealth.

The Ninth Ward School Board Bumps
Against the Commonwealth.
Years ago when money interest was very
high, the Ninth ward of Allegheny issued
a large wad of school bonds, which had
long time to run. subsequently the ground
now occupied by the Riverside Penitentiary
was taken by the State, and the Ninth ward
school board has been in a quandary. Its
power to tax has been curtailed by the TAX
ing, and how to recoup is the question. A
school for the discussion OF constitutional
law has been opened, ii is said. in Morris
drug Store, and the question as to what must
be done discussed daily.
1t is now proposed to lay the matter be-
fore the Legislature and attempt to get re-
lief there

THE BLlNDING SNOW,

The Storm Almost Prevented the Operation

The heavy but brief snow storm of yester-
day afternoon was general over the lower
lake regions. At this point the snow, melted,
amounted to only one-fitieth OF an inch.
Further north the fall was heavier, but no.
where exceeded two inches OF snow. Colder

coated the front end of the cars in such a
manner as to make it almost impossible for
the gripmen to see 20 feet ahead of the car.

Chief J. o. Brown Declares War Upon All
Disorderly Houses.


Chief J. o. Brown, of the Department of
Public Safety, has issued an order to the
police inspectors of the bureau. stating in
the most emphatic terms that all disorderly

The order is imperative. and signed by
the Chief in his own hand, although he is
confined to his house at present by illness.
This order will create considerable difficulty
in the various parts of the city, but none
particularly in the lower part of Pittsburg,
when within day or two some startling de-
yelopments may arise.

State Senator George Handy Smith, of
Philadelphia, was at the Duquesne yester-
day. The genial politician said he was
here on private business, and he spent
much of his time at the Duquesue Club
with C. L. Magee. He thought Della

all his friends, and he didn't care to discuss
them in detail

HE WANTS TIE ALLETS.
A New Yorker After Information in Regard
to the Traction Company.

Mayor McCallin yesterday received let
ter from Charles H. Royce, of No. Broad
way, New York, in which he states that,
having seen in the newspapers that the coun-
ellis of Pittsburg had granted franchises to a
railway here embracing all the available
territory in the city, he would like to obtain
further information concerning them. Mr..
Royce stated that he was deeply interested
in street railroad property, and had recently
received some propositions in regard to Pitts
burg lines.
The Mayor promptly forwarded copies of
all the Duquesne traction ordinances. He
said he had never heard of Mr.. Royce be-
fore, and his printed letter-head gave no
clue to the nature of his business.

RASPBERRY TAPIooA PUDDING.
a small pudding use one quart Of
raspberries, half cupful Of tapioca,
half cupful Of sugar, half a tea
spoonful Of salt, one tablespoonful of
lemon juice, and one cupful and a
half of cold water. Measure the
tapioca and turn it on the moulding
board. Crush it as fine as possible
with the rolling-pin. Now wash it,
and soak it in the cold water for three
hours or longer. Put the soaked
tapioca in double boiler and cook
it until it is perfectly clear. If it has
been soaked over night it will cook in
half an hour but if soaked only three
hours it will require cooking for an
hour and half. When the tapioca
is clear, add the sugar, salt and
lemon; then take the dish from the
fire and stir in the raspberries. Rinse
a bowl with cold water and pour the
pudding in it. Set aside to COOL

Suggestions.

If the fat in the frying-kettle is hot
before you are ready for it, put in a
dry crust Of bread. 1t will not burn
as long as it has something to do,
only when it is left idle.
1t is convenient to have an iron
holder attached by long string to
the band of the apron when cooking
it saves burnt fingers or scorched
aprons and is always at hand.
A spatula or palette-knife is the
best thing for scraping batter, por-
ridge, ETC., from the sides of bowls
or pots; it is not expensive and soon
saves its cost by preventing waste.
Keep clasp knife or knife with
a handle different from those in COM
mon use for the sole purpose of peel
ing onions, and so avoid the flavor
and odor Of them where it is neither
expected nor desired.
Half a teaspoonful Of sugar will
nearly always revive a dying fire, and,
unlike few drops Of coal oil which
servants are so fond Of using and
which have caused so many sad acct
dents, is perfectly safe.
To mend very large hole in socks
or woven underwear, tack a piece of
strong net over the aperture and darn
over it. Thus mended the garment
will be stronger than when new and
look far heater than il darned in the
ordinary way.
To keep the bright, green color Of
summer cabbage and some other
vegetables, boil fast in plenty of
water in which has been dissolved
piece Of washing soda the size Of two
peas; cover until the water boils and
then take off the lid. II the steam
is shut in the cabbage will be yellow
and unsightly.-Good Housekeeping.

fiterary notes.
oNDUCTED BY HARYoT HOLT.

of Miss Mary L. Both, late editor Of
Harper's Bazaar, is being prepared for
publication by her nephew, Mr.. Her
bert Booth King. 1t is said that
among her correspondents is to be
found the name of almost every lit
erary man and woman who was her
contemporary, as we'll as statesmen,
dlvines, scientists and lawyers from
oil parts of the world. Mr.. King an
nounces that it would be of material
benefit to him in his work if he could
obtain the letters she wrote in reply.
His address is No. As South Oxford
street, Brooklyn, and any communi-
cation regarding Miss Booths letters
will be gratefully received and
promptly answered.
A Hartford man tells the following
story of Mrs. Stowe, who, in these
last quiet years of her life is again a
little child. Walking in a friend
garden one of these pleasant spring
mornings, she came upon the gar
dener, who was busily at work. "My
friend,' she said, going up to him in
her simple, childish way, "have you
ever read Uncle Toms Cabin? P"
The perplexed fellow slowly unbent
himself. He was 10th to wound the
kindly heart, and he wished to say
the most for himself. And so he felt
himself getting very red as he STAN
mered, "Well, not exactly, ma am.
Not as you might say read it, but
I've tried to, ma am"
Harper's Bazaar says: "Mrs. Lee
G. Hardy is one of the latest of the
new school Of Southern writer's to take
up her abode in New York. She is
the daughter Of rich South Carolina
rice planter, who was ruined by the
war. In 1888 she published in the
Magazine Of American History an
article called The City Of a Prince,
which was republished in England,
Germany and Russia, gaining her an
election as Fellow Of the American
Historical Association. The Harpers
announce in an early number OF
Harper's Magazine an article by her
entitled Texan Types and Contrasts.
Mrs. Hardy is tall and stately in ap-
pearance, has dark hair, and laughing
hazel eyes, and is typical South
erner."
1t is said that since the days OF Tom
Hood, the poet, no literary man s
struggle with sickness and poverty
has been so pathetic and drawn upon
the public sympathy as much as that
Of the late Philip H. WEIGH. "The
Tailor Made Grit was one of the
productions of his pen, and all bis
writings were marked with a degree
OF wit and satire rarely met with. 1t
is said that his quips and cranks
which delighted thousands Of readers
were written while suffering from a
tortuous and incurable malady. He
died in February, 1889, and left a
large family in penniless condition.
The appreciation Of the public has
been substantially shown by the
donations which have aggregated
$26, 900, which has been turned over
to his family by the trustee Of the

Bsuperstitious OF men and allowed him

what most people consider t~rlvialtfes.
For example, ho told me On the Mon

another time he was In radiant spirits
because a little bird had flown into his

claimed; Hwait, and you shall see.
That day he won three principal races.
Indeed, o curious phase Of his super
s%titions wa that they generally turned
out to be correct. When he felt that he
was going to lose, he did lose; when he
imagined that he would win, he did win.
This. may be explained by coincidence,
or by the fact that his trainer and
jockeys were shrewd enough to humor
his whims, knowing that he would
rather justify his superstitions than cap
ture q race. But. whatever the expla-
nation, the fact that such q man should
be subject to such caprices is wonderful.

She Thought h Wa, Parad,,..

SAo y .
Where the road from Fairfax Semi
nary comes up over the Virginia hills
at Mount Zion Baptist Church, the
traveller is brought face to face with
Washington, lying spread out upon the
farther bank of the Potomac, like a
great picture on which the light is
thrown unexpectedly. It is a fayorite
pastime with those who know this road
to come suddenly from the quiet coun-
try valley to the top of the hill, and in
q moment bring this beautiful view to
the eyes of the stranger. The other
Sunday a young man of this town was
driving with his best girl along that
road, and. womanlike, she had about
as much idea of where Washington was
as a bird has of the location of the
House restaurant in q dry spell just
before reaching the summit, where he
was going to spring the panorama on
his unsuspecting victim, he said to
her:
snow, shut your eyes. and when I
tell you to open them, open Them"
She agreed, and Just as she reached
the point of view he stopped the cart
and said:
*There, sweetheart, open your eyes;
that's Washington, and he bent over
and kissed her li~ngeringly, as the
evening shadows touch the pink lips of
the roses.
"Oh, George she murmurSd, in .
b~ewilderment of surprise, sis it really?
I thought it was Paradise"
And George fell out of the cart
