WHITTIER SCHOOL OPENING

Recalls n Prophecy BY Ihe Late William
Thaw, Now Fulfilled.
The formal opening of Mt. Washington
Whittier School, last Monday, was a gala
hecasion for that section of the hill. 1t
Marks an epoch not only in the history of
education in the Thirty-second ward, but
alsCin its phenomenal growth in popula-
tion, which makes the school necessary.
The programme, including the presenta-
tion Of BE flag by William Penn Council,
Jr. o. UA. NJ, was the same in substance
as that odflined in THE DISPATCH some
weeks sincS Kirk @, Bigham, Esq, was
prevented being present to deliver the ad-
dress on the history of the school on account
of sickness. Mr.. William Halpin took his
place, and, thou gh having had no time to
prepare data, etN he succeeded admirably
Mr.. Halpin was NMr. Whittier's successor
on the school board, and served altogether
something like II years.
In his address Mr.. lHalpin made state
ment that is significant of the rapid growth
of the hill district. It was to the effect that,
in 1869 the taxable valuation of the ward
was S225, 100. 1t is now $2,750,000. In a
subsequent chat, Mr.. Halpin said the rapid
growth of the hill district and the building
of a big city on the hilltops had been
by the late William Thaw,
years ago. At the time he made the remark,
Nh Halpin, as director of the Mononga-
hela incline, spoke to Mr.. Thaw in regard
to purchasing land from the Yennsylvania
Company, for a landing for th9 freight in
cline. After listening quietlya Mr.. Thaw
said: eff it were between you AID me, you
would not have to negotiate fuAther. Do
you know have had it in mi amind for
years that some day the overflow hf Pitts
burg's population will build a large city on
those hilltops The Southside is building
up fast with mills and will be manu-
center. The laborers must have
homes, and your hilltops will furnish them.
For that reason will do all can to give
them access to their future homes"
Mr.. Thaw lived TO see his prophecy full
6lled to large extent, and the growing
generation will see it in its fullness. When
St. Clair township, Knoxville, Reltzhoover
and CHARTERS township join hands with the
parent city (Which Is thought to be an action
IF the near future) then will Mr.. Thaw's
prophecy come true beyond probably his
greatest expectation.

NEW DEPOT FOR THE P. & W.

The Road PHrchasInG Land on Which to
Eroct n BaIiniae- Mere Room Nseded.
Better Accommodations Wanted.
Numerous reports have been in circula-
ton recently to the effect that the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad was about to erect a
new depot in Allegheny. The business Of
the road has been such the last six months
that the officials feel warranted in going to
the expense Of substantial depot to re-
place the barn-like structure which now
shelters its patrons.
Besides needing more room for its passen-
gers it also needs more accommodations for
freight traffic, and 4 rumor was in circula-
tion yesterday that it had agents at work
purchasing property on Isabella street, be-
tween Sanduskv and Anderson streets,
on which to erect an immense
freight depot. The old depot is constantly
undergoing repairs, and by the time a few
shingles have been put on one part of the
building, or an alteration made, some other
spot is found which needs attention, and
this continual outlay of money to repair
the present building has been largely in
strumental in bringing the officials to the
conclusion that better accommodations are
needed.
of General Manager Mcdonald, yes
terday, but as he was not
about, Superintendent Doyle was seen.
That gentleman stated that he had no au-
thority to give the plans of the road to
the public, and said that Mr.. Mcdonald had
charge of the purchasing of property and
the erection Of the new depot. 1t was stated
on good authority that the Pittsburg and
Western had about finished negotiations for
the purchase of the property mentioned,
but that the deal would not be closed for
several days vet.

of the service is quandary to the average
citizen. Captain E. A. Hunt, of Battery B,
was visited at his Office in the Smith & Fri
day building, on Fifth avenue, yesterday
afternoon, and asked for an explanation of
dispatch, seemed very much surprised that
such statement should have been made,
and, in answer to it, said:
General Goblin is only a commander of
one brigade, and / cannot see how he has
any authority to make such sweeping charges
against the entire artillery of the State. He
has the authority to report on the battery of
his brigade, which is located at PhGnixville.
but on no other. The artillery of the guard
as regards men, equipments and discipline
is Just us efficient as any other branch, but
in armament we are inferior. This, of
course, is not our fault.
"We are armed with 3-inch rifles which
have been condemned, and for which no
ammunition is now manufactured. The
only effective guns which we now have con-
sists of a couple of Gatling guns. do not
believe that General Goblin made such a
sweeping charge, as he is TOO copl-headed
and efficient an officer to denounce any
branch or part Of the service over which he
has not immediate charge"

faults. too. Mrs. Davis was the most
charming and loVable woman he had ever
seen, and Of course, she was passionatelY
attached to her ugly, commonplace husband.
This was quite as it should be, only WHY
did she so labor to convince him Of fact he
never had doubted?
So time wore on, and if he began to find
that the hours spent in his friends house
were the only hours worth having in his
life, the discovery did not hurt him much.
He went at his own risk; Davis was glad to
have him, and Madge was absolutely safe in
her exaggerated love for her husband. He
was satisfed.that it should be so, for he had
not an evil thought in connection with Mrs.
Davis. Indeed, incredible as it NAV appear
he had probably never had an evil thought
in connection with anyone.
Indeed, he took sort Of wretched pleasure
in the success Of his sacrifice, and as often
as ne left the friends Of his own set to 20

not regret it.
Now it had happened that while Davis
and his wife had been on their honey-
moon they had fallen in with an old
uncle of Davis, who was q great ad-
mirer of pretty women, and he had
been 50 taken with Madge's beauty
and brightness that on parting with them
he Immediately made his will in his
nephew's favor, "as a recognition Of his
good sense and cleyerness in securing such
a charming and amisble woman as his
WIFE"
The old man said pothiug about this at
the time or afterward; he probably saw
other pretty women, and forgot all about
Madge for he never held out a helping
hand to her husband in all the long struggle
with poverty which followed their marriage,
and took no notice when he was informed
that their second child was called after
him. But if he forgot his fancy for Msdge,
he also forgot to make any other will, and
when at last news of his death reached
Davis in London, he found himself the
owner of good deal OF railway stock, a
fine old country house, several Well-let
farms, and coal mine at Glywwych, North
Wales.
This, Of course, entirely revOlutionized the
three lives. Davis and his wife had now the

Davis, "but am asking it of man who

pause, "no, Tom, can't think of it.
But the answer showed Davis that he had
been thinking of it.
They sat silent for moment OF two, and
then Davis tried again.
"You remember that fellow in the Bible,
Chris, that we used to hear about when we
were boys. The great man had fOcks and
nerds without number, you know. The poor
man had only one little eve lamb. You are
in the position Of the rich man; don't take
her from me-"
TITS altogether different" said Whelan,
whose scriptural knowledge was vague, but
practical, since he mixed the alleeory with
the fact, and between the two made out
his case. ''Its altogether different;
Miss Parry don't belong to you,
like the lamb did to the fellow in the story,
and he was cheated out of it, while no one
is acting unfairly toward you. You did
introduce me to her, / know, but did not
know you liked her, and, if had, the trial
was as free to me as to you"
That's all true" said Davis eongratu-
lating himself inwardly on having taken
the right line at first. ''That's why ask
you for generosity and not for Justice.

There is no agreement between theSdiffer-
ent countries relative to holding fairs of
any kind. The word "international'' us ap-
piled to any fair in which foreign exhibitors
compete for prizes extensively. A warld's
fair is a large international fair, the name
as the latter could be called an overgrkwn
country fair. How much the coming fai in
1892 can merit the application OF the wbrd
"world" will depend on the interest taAen
by the countries Of the Old World.
