The assessment for the widening of Cecil
alley follows that for Diamond street. The
cost of $4,000 for opening Fifth avenue
through to the Allegheny river does not seem
excessive especially when over 100000 of it is
assessed on the property abutting the improve
ment. Let US hope that the opening will bring
with it another bridge to Allegheny City, which
would insure its use as a new avenue of trade
between the two sides of the river.

MRS. HARRISON CRITICIZED
At Yesterdays Meeting of the Womun's
Club of This City.

! CiuD OF rms CNy.
The regular meeting of the Woman's Club
was held in the Teachers Library yesterday
| afternoon. Mrs. Charles I. Wade presided,
| and Mrs. Irvine Reynolds, with pencil and
paper. took notes for another chapter in the
history OF the club in which will be chronicled
| the entrance of a new and very interesting
member, by name Mrs. Schrlvan. The ladies
who were ION the list for papers regarding
Spain were all excused from the reading there
of, for good and valid reasons, by the Chair,
and an informal discussion of Washington
social life, and some of the Presidents wives,
engrossed the time and attention of the club
One member, who but recently returned from
Washington, was not very well pleased with
Mrs. Harrison's reception of the delegates
to the Wo,nan's 5uffragist Convention that was
held there not long ago. BY special invitation
of Mrs. Harrison they all repaired % the White
House, where the first lady" greeted them,
individually, with the stereotyped hand shake,
and then, evidently thinking her duty as host
ess performed, suggested to the ladies that they
promenade through the rooms and survey the
beauties of the White House. This the dele
gates were anxious and willing to do, and as they
disappeared in one of the rooms Mrs. Harrison
the stairs as if the hospitality they
had .ss1a extended had been very, irksome
disappearance some White House servants ap-
peared and actually showed the entire body of
delegates, many of them old, sivery haired
ladies' out of the house. not permitting them
to look at anything. Some very tart criticisms
upon the treatment were expressed, and it was
informally resolved that Mrs. Harrison ought
to be lady. even if she was the Presidents
wife. Her unladyIike treatment was con-
trasted very unfavorably with the courtesy
shown the w. C. T. U. delegates by Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes, when they honored the White
House with their presence.
Some facts revealed concerning the Wash
ington newspaper correspondents made the
members of the profession in Pttshurg, who
were present, congratulate themselves upon
the fact that they did not have to write up
receptions for Congressman and other inf1uen-
tial men who, if they were not written up in
glowing terms, would see that the poor news
paper correspondent was discharged. This
fact, 1t was asserted, is responsible for the
supremely gorgeous accounts OF dinners.

Washington newspapers TEEN. The social
life of Washington, from the reports given,
does not differ materially from the ultra circles
of any large city. only, perhaps, in the enforced
round.
After the preceding discussion a very inter-
esting paper on Spain as a WHOLE country and
people, was read by Mrs. DIR. Schlenderberg.
