he does the work of an evangelist in wild

We live within our houses, and although

The shadows were lengthening on the

One person took no share in the general
hustle. This was girl vino had made for
herself cozy seat among the heather and
seemed determined to abandon herself to
lazy enjoyment. She was more smartIy
dressed than the homely people around, and
she had decked her hat with wild flowers:
she had rosy cheeks, large dark eyes, a
tempting little mouth and jet black hair;
she had many coquettish little ways; she
was altogether pretty girl-a girl to break
mems hearts, but to break her own ior

Love may laugh at locksmiths, but when
the State OF Pennsylvania opposes a mar
riage the difficulty is enhanced. A delega-
tion of Twelfth warders, composed of Michael
Beatty, Mr.. and Mrs. DAILY and
Miss Maria Daily, the latter between
13 and IA years of age, and small for
her age, called on Captain Hieber in
the County Registers office and Michael
asked for marriage license for himself and
Maria As the girl was small, delicate and
in short clothing. the proposition astounded
Captain Hieber and he called Register Con-
ner to consult, the result being that the ap-
plication was refused, the little girl declar-
ing, with tears in her eyes, that she didn't
want to get married.
About this time Beatty and DAILY began
to exhibit symptoms of desire to waltz on
the bodies of Register Conner and Captain
Heiber, and an officer was summoned.
Word was also sent to Superintendent
Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society. and an
officer came from there and took Maria
down to Penn avenue. Her parents and
Beatty followed, and after some pow-wow
Maria's parents were allowed to take her
home, Mrs. DAILY promising that Maria's
wishes should hereafter be consulted as to
the proposed nuptials.
Mrs. DAILY said she had yielded to the
arrangement because Beatty was puddler,
making good wages, and already was we'll
on the road toward a competence. She
thought it best for her child to marry and
secure q comfortable living, and be put out
OF the way of the pitfalls that line the paths
of young girls. 1t is alleged that the date
of the child's birth had been changed from
1876 to 1875, the "5'' being marked with
lead pencil over the &C. She was born in
Center county, and Mrs. Daily had the
Bible containing the birth record with her.
Beatty boarded with the DAILY family Oh
Twenty-third street.
Agent Dean stated that he would apply
to court to-day for the appointment of o
guardian for Maria.

The cheapest and most sensible stairway

Raphneps Greatest Work Selected for the
Text of n Lecture.
Rev. j. G. White, of st. Andrews
Church, lectured last evening before the
Kings Sons and Daughters Society at st.
Peters Church, Grant street. The subject
chosen was Raphael's celebrated painting,
'"The Sistlne Madonna" and the speaker
sought to show how and by what means it
meant more than the casual glance would
discover. Raphael, the painter, was also the
greatest refcrmer. Revelation was the work
of God. Inspiration that of man. Both
pointed to the same idea. The difference lay
in who drew the curtain aside.
The lecture was we'll attended, showing
plainly that the work of the organization
under whose auspices the lectures are given
is bearing fruit.

PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, SEPT. Is. 1890.
ONE POINT SETTLED.

1t is rather surprising after all the init
nations and covert threats that the House
leaders would nullify the victory of Mr..
Blaine by cutting out in conference COM
mittee the reciprocity amendment inserted
bv the Senate to learn that the first days
conference resulted in the adoption of that
amendment bv party vote.
This prompt agreement to the most i'm
portant change made by the Senate indicates
either that the House leaders have gained a
clearer appreciation of the value of reciproe-
ity than some of their utterances indicated,
or that Speaker Reed has been credited with
more than his Just share of backbone and
stomach for fair, stand-up fight. As be-
tween himself and Mr.. Blame shows that
while the Speaker can get himself reelected
by a big majority, when the Secretary of
State develops policyot foreign trade, even
the imperious House leaders have to accept
his modification of their tariff scheme.
As between the House and Senate this
agreement to one of the especial features
grated on the measure by the Senate, is a
favorable indication that the House con-
ferees will obtain the abandonment of some
of the less worthy amendments. Next to
the reciprocity amendment, the most import
ant Senate changes were the raising of the
sugar duty and the cut in the metal
schedule. If the House accepts the reci-
procity amendment it will have the right to
expect a concession to it on one or both of
these points, and will probably obtain
them.
With that leading point of dispute settled
and the inference that it carries with it of
the settlement of other points of difference,
the Conference Committee ought to be able
to make an early report. 1t would not be
remarkable if next week should see the
tariff wrestle ended and the session wound
