BAZAAR AND GARDEN FETK
Given by the Kings Daughters of the Shady
side Presbyterian Church.

Uiven Dy Inc hing's Daughters of the Shady .
side Presbyterian Church.
The lovely grounds surrounding the resi-
dence of Mrs William Scott, on Fifth avenue
presented bewildering vision of beauty yes
terday afternoon and last evening. Fairy-like
little maidens, in dainty white frocks, with
pretty garden hats, fiuttered about in and out
among the trees, early in the afternoon, and by
O'Clock from the picturesque confusion arose
a fancy booth. floral booth, q fan booth. and
any number of little tables draped in snowy
linen, upon which to serve ice cream and straw
berries. The occasion was a fancy bazaar and
garden fete given by the order of Kings Daugh-
ters." of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church.
BY o'clock the guests began to arrive. A tiny
policeman, in the person of one of Mr.. Scott's
little boys collected gate money to the amount
OF l0 cents each, and no one was exempt, not
even the little toddler in the nurses arms At
o'clock the lawn was thronged and the streets
lined with carriages. for almost the entire con-
the Daughters of the King in some way or
other, either at the fancy booth. admiring the
pretty articles that represented the work of the
little ones at the booth Of flowers, inhaling
their fragrance and filling the Golfer with sill
YER or seated at the tables enjoying the lus-
cious Strawberries and ice cream, while cooling
the air with fans from the fan booth.
1t was a great success, and, an interesting
feature of the event was the breaking of the
penny jugs" by the pastor of the church, Rev
r. S. Holmes. Each little member of the So
cleIy nao Deen Ior some time past saving their
pennies in small china jugs that were sacrificed
last evening, and their contents turned into
the general fund that is to help furnish the
new church. With this bazaar the little band,
under the management of Mrs. j. r. Mckinley
and Mrs. William Scott, will conclude their
work for the new church. and when they begin
labor again. in the fall, it will be for the poor
and needy families in the neighborhood. BY
their efforts they netted Sl45 last evening and
had already in their treasury SlI0 from a far
and bazaar given during the winter, SO it is with
the consciousness of well doing that they retire
from the church work proper.

MADE A DECIDED HIT.
Horace Lewis and His Company In Malcolm
Stuart TnxIor's New Drama.

Horace Lewis and His Company In Malcolm
Stuart TnyIor's New Drama.
A new play presented for the first time on
any stage. and Pittsburg is honored with the
event. Horace Lewis, who delighted large
audiences at Harris Theater last week, with
his excellent company, in "Monte Cristo," yes
terday brought out "a Sprig o. Green"
dramatizatior of John Banim's ''Crohoore Ma
Bill Hoge," by M. Stuart Taylor. Mr.. Taylor
has evidently worked hard and long to cling
closely the author of the story in this tale OF
the trials and troubles OF an Irish family. the
head of which is murdered and the colleen ab-
Quoted, and he has been very successful. The
play is very interesting one. its climaxes being
well brought up. In the hands of such faith
full actor as Mr.. Lewis ami his well-drilled com
pany, 1t IS more than well worth seeing 1t
should be seen by all who are fond of such
plays as"The Shaughraun" "and"Colleen Bawn."
In some respects IL is quite as strong as either
of those faYorite Irish dramas.
OF course the chief interest centers in
CTohoOre and Mr.. Lewis portrayal of that
character Is target for criticism that with
stands all attacks upon 1t. As Eileen ONeiL,
Nellie Donald Letfingwell is as sweet little
heroine as the author could wish, and Lois
Arnold as Rosy leaves nothing lacking. The
first presentations were quite smooth. and the
play evidently made the hit its author has
worked SO earnestly for and will doubtless be
given to good audiences the rest of the week.

pI.ISE AND THE sUGaR DUTY.

The report that Secretary Blaine made a
decided and, as the report gave it. and in
temperate attack on the provisions OF the
Mckinley bill, turns out as The DISPATCH
predicted, to be incorrect Authoritative
denials are made, and the fact is clear that
all the Secretary did was to repeat what he
has already made public by letter, his
theory that the duty should be kept on
sugar, in order that we may trade off that
duty in establishing reciprocity with the
South American republics.
On this point it happens that the Secre-
tary makes two errors. In the first place,
the purpose of the reduction of the sugar
duties is not to benefit other countries, but
to relieve the people of this country from
the undue cost now imposed on its entire
sugar supply. On this point we occupy
the same position that England does
with regard to American food products
Talk has been heard of English
duties on our cereal and meat products in re-
taliation for the Mckinley bill; but such re-
taliation will never be undertaken, for the
reason that the enhancement of the price Of
food in England would hurt that section a
great deal more than the United States, and
a government which undertook such q
measure would simply break its own neck.
The object of the reduction of the sugar
duties here has the same found alton. 1t is
simply to relieve the people of the United
States of an unnecessary tax of over S6O,-
OOO, 600 on an article of universal consump-
ton of which, after twenty-five years pro-
lection, about one-tenth is produced in this
country.
Another mistake which the Secretary
makes in this connection is to suppose that
we can get cheap sugar by 6 system of re-
ciprocity with the nations represented in the
Pan-American conference. Of the $50, ,000,-
600 worth of sugar imported to this country
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1889, only S5,OOO,0OO worth came from
the Spanish-American republics. The other
ifteen-sixteenths came from Cuba, the Brit
ish West Indies, Guiana, Germany and
Hawaii. The reciprocity project, while
eminently proper on the products of the
South American republics, would not WIS.,
IDLY affect the price OF sugar in this country.
As to duties on our products in Cuba,
they are manifestly retaIiatory and afford
marked example of the misgovernment Of
that unfortunate island.
Secretary Blaine's project of reciprocity
with the South American republics is
ssgacious and wise policy. But since 1t
would embrace only one-sixteenth of our
supply of sugar, the objection to the McKin-
ley tariff on that score is manifestly mis-
placed.

A DISCIPLE OF ANN JENNEss

Astounds the Residents of Pnritnnicnl Back
Bny, Boston Residents.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.I
BOSTON, June pa rather pretty woman,
mounted on a powerful bay horse, created a
sensation in the Back Bay district this morn
ing as she rode along Beacon street. 1t was
not her faultless equipment or well-fittng
habit that drew the attention of the Puritani-
cal Beacon street residents. She rode astride,
clothes-pIn fashion, just like man. foot in
each stirrup and an air of complete indepen-
dence and perfect comfort distinguished her,
Her seat was good, and she managed the big
bay with the skill of an accomplished horse
man. Undercrust Phillstines who witnessed
the ride say that the lady appeared to far bet
ter advantage than those of her sisters who
precariously cling to the side saddle and as
sumo pleasure that they do not feel.
II is the first time that the Miller style of
horsewomanship has been seen i'm Boston and
it naturally aroused not little excitement.

Good Fortune Tint Has Given Birth to a
New DOxOioEy.

Good Fortune Tint Has Given Birth to
New DoxoioRy.
From the San Francisco Chronice.l
A Pittsburg dispatch says: The Forest Grove
Presbyterian congregation is In luck, and all
its members promise to become rich through a
strike in oil made on q few acres of ground sur
rounding the rickity old chapel called church.
The site is located about eleven miles from
Pittsburg, and is right in the center of the
new Grove oil fields. For years Deacon Bea-
com has been pastor of the congregation,
and it took the combined receipts from a few
acres of farming land, the district school, and
the offerings of the small congregation to keep
the good man alive; but by good fortune this is
all changed.
Three good oil producers have beon struck
during the past week, with an average output
of about 1000 barrels a day. This gives the
church people a daily income of S125 from roy
alties, in addition to a cash bonus. Two new
wells are being sunk. which will increase the
church income to 81, 500 month. One of the
new wells has been dubbed "Old Hundred"
because of the following revised version of the
familiar hymn which one of the drillers has
tackled upon the derrick:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him for putting oil below,
Praise Him, ye drillers give hearty thanks,
Praise Him for the Overlooking tanks.

The Philadelphians are better satisfied with
this showing than the Western cities seem to
be with theirs; but for the rest Of the country
the lesson seems to be that the publication of
census returns, like everything, goes by favor.
