To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
In view Of your very sensible editorial in THE
DISPATCH of February Il favoring the selec-
tion of downtown site for the main Pittsburg

suggest that the United States be asked to do
nate for the main building their ground at the
corner Of Penn avenue and Garrison alley and
extending back to Duquesne way This piece
Of property Is about 100 or I5O by 800 feet, and
has no improvements of any consequence. II
the Penn avenue frontage Is insufficient. adj
Joining property could probably be bought to
make it ample size, This location is prominent
and central, being near the Union depot and

reasons why this building should be near the

KILLING THE WORLDS FAIR.

Besides the inevitable fight over the latest
development of the Speakers power to count
a quorum, the skirmishing in the House on
the Worlds Fair business brought out the
fact that Chicago was in the lead, with dis
position on the part of the rival cities to
combine to delay and, if necessary, defeat the
project altogether.
This is rather gigantic example of the
dog-in-the-manger policy; and shows very
strongly the desperate condition into which
that unfortunate project has fallen. New
York having killed her chances by making
a political football of the project, and St.
Louis never having had chance at all, but
being sctuated by pure Jealousy of Chicago,
unite to declare that if they cannot have
what they do not deserve, the country shall
have no fair.
This argument would prevent the fair be-
ing located anywhere possibly at
Washington, against which place there are
fewer local jealousies. But as further de-
lay is ruin to the project, the proposition
for an early vote should have commanded
the support of every man who did not place
envy and selfish interests above the national
credit involved in the fair.
1t should be fearful humbling of our
national pride if the project which was
opened with such high hopes last year,
should have to be buried now, with the epi-
taph: KILLED by local selfshness and petty
politicians"

that a public building for Sioux City

Congress asking for a $500, 900 building, but
this failed to pass. Since then the apprO-

Margaret Mnther ns Gretcheu-Dixey's
Seven Ages and Other Plays.
MISS MARGARET MATHER cannot complain
of the welcome she received last night from
a very large and appreciative audience at the
Bijou Theater. 1t was no more than Miss
Mather's deserts however, for she is an actress
who works hard in all she attempts. and who
does not rely upon her remarkable genius
more than she properly may. The character
in which she appeared for the first time in
Pittsburg. Is no ungrateful one. The title role
arduous, but instinct with graceful pathos
1t Is like its operatic counterpart, Marguerite"
sympathetic, and appeals to the hearts of the
audience. Miss Mather made excellent use Of
her opportunities, and her Gretchen would, we
doubt not, please the exacting author. As the
simple country maiden lured in the old,
old way to a terrible descent from
the narrow way, Miss Mather was
delightfully."- natural, and at times powerful in
high degree. She could hardly have better
support than Mr.. j. B. Studley gives her in fhe
Gilbertian version of Mephtsto. Mr.. Studley
did full justice to his liues-some of which are
curiously suggestive of Gilbert's grim bumor
in lighter works-and gave US a distinctly
novel of the diabol1cal parsonage who tempts
Fdustus to his ruin. Mr. Charles B. Welles as
FGuStus also did well, and the remainder of
the company assisted in making the perform
ance on the whole well balanced and effective.
As to the play, in spite of the dialogues
merits-fOr it is witty in places and uniformly
interesting-it is not possible to regard
Gretchen" as satisfactory work. The action
is not quick enough, and many of the situa-
tions Rse force by their elaboration. The new
conceptions of characters so historically
famous as Faust and Marguerite, which Mr..
Gilbert gives MS, are not sufficient compensa-
tion for the lack of real color, which Is the
plays chief defect.
Tonight Miss Mather will be seen in Romeo
and JulIet'-in which she is Worthily so well
liked here.

CANAL AND RIVER.

A city cotemporary, after the public has
been studying the question OF the Erie
Canal for the larger half of 6. year, proposes
as a poser the question: "Whst advantage
Pittsburg would be able to derive from an
eleven-fOOt canal emptying into q six-foot
river?"
If conundrums like that are the most
serious obstacles the railroads can induce
their organs to throw in the way of the
project, its prospects are bright. As the
product of four months incubation on the
canal question, its difficulties, necessities
and possibilities, this presents a brilliant
example of the exhaustive treatment of
public enterprises which might prove incon-
venient for the railroad corporations.
To relieve the mind which has hurled this
question into the arena, it may be said that
when it is found necessary to dig the canal
to the depth of eleven feet, we will provide
an eleven foot river to connect with it.
