THE NEW INDUSTRY.

The authoritative announcement that the
Westinghouse Company is going largely
into the manufacture OF electric motors for
street railways, permits the expectation of
an important addition to our manufacturing
industries.
We can hardly share the opinion of the
gentleman who is quoted in our local col
umns that Pittsburg will receive special
benefit from the location of factory at some
other point, to be run by Pittsburg capital.
But the manu- acturing advantages of Pitts
burg are so decided, and our facilities for
shipment to all parts of the country so great,
that we can cherish the expectation that this
important manufacture will be carried on
here.
Beside the local Importance of the enter
prise, it is somewhat instructive to note that
within a month of the organization of trust
composed of other motor manufacturing
companies, this new competitor springs into
the field fully equipped and ready to begin
business at an early date.

TEARS AND LAUGHTER.
Tho Wife. nn Idyl of Modern Times-Rough
md Tumble Comedy-The Wilbur Song
Birds-Tbe Night Owls.

TT is a matter of regret to us that "The Wife,
is not new play. and that it had not its ini-
tial performance in Pittsburg last night at the
Grand Opera House. To criticise work so well
done is real pleasure. But the day has passed
for a review in detail of Messrs. Belasco and De
Miles comedy. 1t is a deftly constructed little
drama, nearly always true to nature, and di-
dactic in the best of ways. The lesson it
teaches is plain, and the manner of its exposi-
tion never tiresome. If there were less tears
in it we would not complain, but probably
every woman would.
''The Wife" was played last night by the
New York Lyceum company, which has come
to mean that an artistic and complete per-
formance was given. Mr.. Daniel Frohman
merits the thanks of all theater-goers for main
tanning his travelling companies upon such
high plane of artistic excellence. There are l3
actors in the company, and for once the num-
Der is of good omen, for svery actor is CON-
petent. Mrs. Berlan-Gibbs has the hardly
pleasant duty of presenting the character of
The WIFE, who is unhappy from the moment
she weds tiil-at all events, till the curtain falls
finally upon her return to peace of mind.
Mrs. Berlan-Gibbs is unhappy in very
becoming and natural way. She touches the
chords of pathos in the part with steady
hand and in the scene where she confeSses to
her husband that she has loved and loves still
another man. she developed great, power; If
there is any complaint to be found with Mrs.
Berlan-Gibbs, it is thaTtears abide too contin-
uously in her voice. Before the shadow of sor-
row strikes her, her voice verges upon the
minor key-and she never leaves it for a
second. In nature there is some grad
uation of grief; an occasional inter-
lude. Mr.. BOYD Putnam, as Senator Rutherford.
allowed none of the grandeur of the
chaTacter-and it is rare nobIlity-to be lost.
He is remarkably handsome man. Not SO is
Mr.. Henry Herman, who plays the villain.
Matthew CutUer, but what splendid piece of
character he makes of the willy man in politics!
Asa picture of polite rascality Mr.. Herman's
Cutuer cannot be exeelled 1t is not often
equaled. Mr.. 5. Miller Kent is always
graceful and sympathetic actor, and his Robert
Gray is nicely done. Mr.. Burns threw in
a spice of ripe comedy, but as simple matter
of fact the impulslve, somewhat eccentric
ingenue whom Miss Eliza Logan introduced
Us to in Kitty IUes rather put all the other
comedians in the shade. Miss Logan almost
alarms the audience with her acrobatic feats,
but she is close to nature most of the time and
deserves hearty word of praise. The actors
we have no space to mention deserve praise in
every instance. The scenery is very fair, and
some of the ladies' dresses are Interestingly
costly

THE DISPATCH EXPEDITION.
Pointers for the Benefit of Our Road Ex-
pIorers-Bnd Highways Far More COM
mon Than Good Ones-Editorial Testi-

mony.
From the Du Bois Courier.l
Much has been written and said concerning
the condition of the roads of this State and
many have demanded their betterment. 1t is
not to be supposed that it is expected to make
the entire roadways of the State the equals of
the old National road of the Westchester pike
down which Numbered the steed bearing the
hero of Sheridan's ride. or of the Telford
roads of Delaware county, but it is thought
that better system than the present could be
devised and the condition Of said roads be bet
tered without great additional expense. Opin-
ions and statements bearing upon the compare
tive condition of our highways have varied so
greatly that to determine their exact
condition, THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH
has organized an expedition which is to
be sent out upon the highways and byways Of
the State to investigate their condition and re-
port thereupon. Descriptive writer's and
artists will accompany the expedition, and the
patrons of that enterprising paper will soon be
able to learn more concerning this subject than
many of them have ever known. The caravan
is now, we believe. in Washington county. and
is to, in the future, go well over the State that
the report may not be local or sectional IN its
application.
Had its writer's and its artists accompanied
Sheriff McClOskey from Clearfeld to this place
yesterday they would have been furnished with
much material for both description and Illus
tration, and have presented the appearance-as
did the SherIff-of having been rolled in the
mud. and have been able to prove whether or
not the well-nigh impossible condition of the
roads hereabOuts has been oyerstated.

" TWO Old Cronies" put in their second ap-
pearance in Pittsburg at the Bijou
Theater last night, and very large audience
welcomed them with much applause and
laughter.
1t is a musical farce comedy on the pro-
gramme, but better name for it would be a
circus without the ring or the wild animals.
The fun of it is all of the widest kind. but
clean enough in its way and honest in Its inten-
tions. Frank M. Wills and John E. Henshaw
as the Cronies keep the circus jokes hur-
tling through the air, and dance
and sing and fall about with absolutely
no thought of anything but to make every
man across the fOotlights laugh. They sue
ceeded last night, They were assisted greatly
by Miss May Ten Brock and q company con-
tanning good deal of low comedy talent and
some pretty girls. Miss Josie Domaine. a
small package of good looks. and Miss Norma
Wills, Miss Leo Sinnet. Miss Leese Peici Miss
Adele Wallace and Fred Mendosa all work
with heart and soul in the cause of laughter.
To criticise Two Old Cronies'' seriously is
out of the question.

Harris Thearer.

For the third time this season the Wilbur
Opera Company is filling an engagement at
this popular house. The opening performance
was given yesterday afternoon, the bill being
THE Princess of Trebrzonde." Since its last
appearance here there have been few changes
in the personnel of the company. Susie Kirwin
of course heads it, and j. E. Conley. the tenor,
and Tie Drenick and Kohnle, the come
dams. are as ever among the feat
ures. The title role in the opening operetta
was sustaided by Miss Maggie Bolton, a
pretty and plump Young lady, who can sing
the hands of those who have SO often pleased
Pittsburg audiences. Manager Wilbur CON-
tinues his policy of selecting young, bright
faced and shapely girls for his chorus. and not
a few of them are able to sing and act, as well
as stand around and look pretty. This is un-
doubtedly one of the secrets of MIR. Wilbur's
success bohemian Girl' will be given at both
performances to-day, and ''The Grand Duchess"
tomorrow.

puzzling relations of silver and gold have
been complicated during the last two dec
ades by the decrease in the production of the
costlier metal. If the statements as to the
wealth of the deposits in the canon of Colo
RADIO are we'll founded it is possible that the
increase in the supply of the latter metal
may nearly equalize the bullion value of
our gold and silver dollars. 1t that were
done it would put gold and silver coinage on
a parity and remove the disputes of the gold
and silver advocates.
1t would be novel and not altogether un-
pleasant solution of the silver question to
have it done by an increase in the supply of
gold which would bring the gold dollar
down to level with the silver coin of the
fathers
