1T is mysteriously whispered that the Phila-

now using gas in their pudding furnaces to pay
the expense of placing big meters in their mills.
This means an outlay of thousands of dollars.
A sort of long meter, as it were.

~ Wtsh you would play, Mr. Hayae."
Miss Travers had other reasons for
wanting to be alone. That very after
noon, just after stable call, she found
herself unoccupied for the time being,
and decided to 60 over and see Mrs.
Waldron few moments. The servant
admitted her to the little army parlor.
and informed her that Mrs. Waldron had
stepped out. but would be home directly.
A bright wood fire was blazing on the
hearth and throwing fickering lights
and shadows about the cozy room. The
piano stood invitingly open, and on the
rack were some waltzes OF Strauss she
remembered having heard the cavalry
band play night or two previous. Seat
ing herself, she began to try them, and
speedily became interested. Her back
being to the door, she did not notice that
another visitor was soon ushered ina
man. She continued slowly picking
out" the melody, for the light was grow
ing dim and 1t was with difficulty that
she could distinguish the notes. Twice
she essayed a somewhat complicated
passage, became entangled, bent down
and closely scanned the music, began
again, once more became involved. ex-

STATE POLITICS.

BRADFORD Star: Ex-senator Lee has been
talking up Phillips for Governor some time, but
now the tables are turned, and Phillips is talk
ing up Lee for Governor; al least, the Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette says he is. Well, one good
turn certainly deserves another.
SCRANTON Sun: Republican journals are
devoting good deal of their space to eulogistic
comments on the first year of the Harrison ad-
minstration. But the large Democratic gains
in the recent New Y ork and Iowa elections are
good indications of general public comments
on the same subject.
TITUsyILLE Citizen: Delamater and Stone
will contest for Erie county's delegates, and ir
is safe to say that Congressman Culbertson will
not exert his influence in favor of Quay's cam
didare. The recent election in Erie city shows
that the Congressman wields no little power
there and in the county, the Quay and anti
Culbertson candidate Tor Mayor, Downing
losing half the Republican vote to his success
full Damocratc opponent
OIL CITY Blizzard: The editors of two or
three newspapers published less than a thou
sand miles from Oil City. are pursuing a course
with reference to the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton. which, to a casual observer, seems some
what erratic and inconsistent. Their enthu-
siasm for their own favorites appears to becloud
their sense of fairness to such an extent that
they are unwilling to accord to others the same
privilege which they themselves claim and ex-
ercise-that of saying good word for some par
ticular aspirant for the Governorship. The
Republicanism of these editors cannot be
doubted, but they are certainly pursuing an in
judicious course when they undertake to make
capital for any one Of the candidates at the ex-
pense Of another.

THE KENDALS VERY GRATEFUL.
They Are Called Before the Curtain md
RespOud 10 the PIaudits

hespOnu 10 the Hlaud1tg.
NEW YORK, March S-Mr and Mrs. Kendall
concluded their engagement at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Theater tonight. Mr.. Kendall made a
speech at the end of the performance in re-
sponse to the plaudits of the audience, in which
he spoke of the kind treatment he had received
in America, and expressed his extreme salts
faction that the sincerity of their efforts in pre-
senting to the American public the best at their
command had met with such strong approval.
Tomorrow night" he said. "we begin jour
ney which we have looked forward to for
some months with much appreh ension-a six
days railroad ride across your great American
Continent. The size, extent, wonderful re-
sources and enterprise Of this country had
always been subject of wonder to him, but he
said he had not supposed when he first landed
on these shores that he should find the oppor-
tunity to go through the experiences of what
appeared to an Englishman SO long and wonder
full a journey. He further said, that at the
other end of the trip he was told he would meet
audiences, who in spite of the great distance
with critical attention; who would be generous
and hospitable il he and Mrs. Kendall pleased
them. They would work hard. he said, to re-
ceive the same Endorsement from the citizens
of the Golden Gate. if hard work would bring
it. that they had the honor of receiving on the
Atlantic side.
Calls for Mrs. Kendall brought her to the
front also She said II am what am. ap-
preciate what have seen in my audiences as a
test of their affection. You have laughed with
us and cried with us, and no sincerer test is
wanted by an actor than this. Your social gen.
erosity has been without limit. You are as
generous in heart as you are large in country
But there were others who watched with
anxiety and solIctude our advent among you.

CROSSING VERSUS LOOP.

| The repeated occurrence of accidents where
the cable roads cross each other, which have,
| fortunately, so far inflicted nothing
more serious than delay and interruption of
business on the roads, should convey a
lesson not only to the traction companies
but to the public. At present the points
where motor lines intersect down town are
eight. But with the completion of the new
projects, every corner from Third avenue on
one side to Seventh on the other, from
Wood street to Grant in the other direction,
will offer the excitement incident to the
crossing of one line by others.
This occupancy of nearly all the down.
town streets by various lines is the result of
the theory that each individual line has ex-
elusive rights in the streets which it first
preempts. There can hardly be doctrine
more at variance with the public character
of street than this; but it is not the legal
but the practical aspect of the matter to
which we desire to call attention. The in
tersection of two companies at Fifth and
Wood has already occasioned several
costly and ve1atious accidents, which may
at some time in the future develop fatal
qualities. What will it be when by the
building of two additional lines, the same
conditions will be reproduced at four cross
ings on Wood street, six on Smithfeld street
and two on Grant street, at some of which
three and perhaps four different lines will
aggravate the crowding and enhance the
blockade, if any mishap ensues? Moreover
what will be the outlook for the general
public when every one of these street corners
exposes the driver or pedestrian to the
chances of being run over by cars bearing
down on him from four directions?
1t would be of no use talking of this mat
ter if the remedy had not been plain to
foreslghted public policy. and were not still
within reach. A single loop open to all
motor lines, would insure all cars
60 in the same direction, so that they could
not meet with The accidents that have taken
place frequently. 1t would let the public
know in which direction to look for the cars
aud would concentrate the motor business
on certain streets and leave the others free
for ordinary traffic. Both safety and con-
venience would be increased by an arrange
ment which would send ali these cars
around single loop. and abolish all such
crossings as those which are now making
the trouble.
1t would have been very easy to provide
such belt line by intelligent legislation
in the first place; and it should not be i'm
possible now. Perhaps, after the companies
have run iEto each other few times more,
they will perceive the economy of such an
arrangement to themselves.

PROGRESS CRAB WISE.

Philadelphia has lately presented strik-
ing example at once of the progress which
can be made by an intelligent policy in re-
gard to widening narrow streets, and of the
municipal stupidity which is capable of
throwing all that progress away. Some
time ago an ordinance was passed in that
city that all future buildings on Walnut
street should conform to the lines giving it a
width of sixty feet. The result was that the
gradual process of widening the street was
going on slowly, but surely. The Phila-
delphia papers all testify that the expert
ment had progressed far enough to insure
its success; but all at once the Councils re-
pealed the ordinance and restored the old
tifty-foot lines.
As this subjects to material loss those who
conformed to the sixty-foot lines and injured
the city by stopping the work of widening
one of its principal streets, the inference is
very plain that it was inspired by some in
fuence that wanted to rebuild on the mar
row line. 1t is a remarkable example
of the very slight respect that is sometimes
shown for the public interest by the repre-
seRtatives of the public. Pittsburg has
several streets that might well be widened
by the process adopted for Walnut; but
with Philadelphia destroying her own ex-
ample by throwing its benefits away, the
difficulty of overcoming the conservatism
that stands in the way of giving US modern
streets will be infinitely enhanced.

to find Senator from California who has
been supposed to be citadel of the solid
money policy developing policy that dis
counts the widest propositions of the soft
money school. Such a reversal of what
have been supposed to be Senator Stanford's
settled views can hardly fail to evoke inti-
nations that the immense landed estates
which are held by the corporations he rep
resents, NAV have something to do with his
new views.
Nevertheless the arguments by which
Senator Stanford supports his ideas have
enough foundation to furnish valuable
suggestion. The country is now considering
the question what securities shall take the
place of the Government bonds as basis
for national banking. The plan has been
presented by citizen of this city of max
ing approved real estate mortgages at the
valuation of assessments for taxation the
new basis for national bank circulation.
As Senator Stanford says, there is hardly
any more stable foundation for values than
that of land. With the safeguard proposed
against inflated appraisals, it is question
able whether any more universal or salts
factory substitute for Government bonds in
national banking could be found than this
one of good real estate mortgages.
The idea is certainly worth considering.
Senator Stanford's rather expansive idea of
an indefinite volume of currency on land
mortgages, might be brought into practical
shape by making those securities the basis
of national banking.

DRUGGISTS AND PHYSICIANS,

The long-standing dispute over the re-
spective responsibility of druggists and
physicians, for mistakes in the administra-
ton of medicines, has caused one of our city
druggists to produce examples of prescrip-
tions, which if filled literally would
be very likely to cause an increase in the
mortality rates. The physician for instance
who ordered twenty grains of deadly drug
to be put up when he meant twentieth.
made slip of the pen that would have been
fatal but for the intervention of the pre-
scription clerk. THE examples illustrate
the need of care in the writing as well as the
filling of prescriptions. As to the respective
responsibility for errors, it is probably about
equally divided; and with regard to their
frequency we are glad to believe that the
cases cited constitute the exceptions, to the
care which marks the services both of the
profession that gets up at all hours to pro-
vide us with drugs, and the one which as
sists us into the world, and. the cynical
might say, assists us out of it.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

PRINCE CARoLATH SCHoENAICH has been
elected Grand Master of the Freemasons in
Prussia.
JAMES RUSSELL LowELL's physician says
that he is slowly improving. The probability
is that the distinguished author has been more
seriously ill than anyone except his physician
realized.
Mr.. HENRY E. ABBEY says that he has
never thought of bringing suit against Miss
Mary Anderson for breach of contract. There
is no misunderstanding which will not be amic-
ably settled.
TIE reports of Governor Hovey's illness are
greatly exaggerated. He has almost entirely re-
covered from what was not regarded as a seri-
Gus sickness, but is still weak and remains in
his room to guard against relapse
SPEAKER REED has received at least one
novel by every mail since it became known
that he is fond of light literature. Duplicate
copies of the same work have sometimes
reached him from the author and publisher.
THE Prince of Wales when going on a jour
ney always takes along whole boxes of hats and
huge trunks of dress suits, morning coats and
other changes. He makes point when visit
ing anywhere of not being seen twice in the
same coat.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS is 66 years old,
but he looks younger than man. men of 80.
He is of the medium height, well built, well
dressed and well hammered. His large gray
eyes have genial expression and his manners
have hearty, engaging warmth.
REV. CLEMENT NJ. BUTLER, D. D., who died
in Germantown, Pa, Thursday night, aged 80
years, during his rectorship at Trinity Church

NO CASE FOR PARDoNING.

1t is announced that very strong in
fuence will be arrayed on behalf of securing
a pardon for E. L. Harper, the Cincinnati
speculator and bank wrecker 1t is not
known that any reasons exist why Harper
should be pardoned, except the usual pre-
texts of deep contrition, failing health and
destitute family, with the actual reason
behind them, that the man has powerful
friends. Nevertheless, if there is one class
of convicts who should be made to undergo
the full punishment prescribed by the law,
it is the class to which Harper belongs. His
offense was the double one of betraying a
trust and stealing the funds intrusted to his
bank to use in gambling on the necessaries
of life. If the President releases such a
criminal the act will afford decided justifi-
cation to the frequently heard declaration,
that there is no real punishment for the
ofenses of men who have wealth and in
huence behind them.

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY. MAR. 9. 1890.
AN IMPERIAL THREAT.

The young German Emperor's speech, in
which he compares the powers of his throne
to the talent given to the servant, in the
parable, and asserts his intention of "add-
ing many another thereto, with the further
promise: 'Those who oppose, l will dash
to pieces" calls out variety of construc-
tions.
The general disposition is to take it as an
lntimation of the Emperor that he will rule
Germany without the Reichstag, if he can
not do SO with it. That is a natural deduc-
tion from recent events in Germany; and
outlines a policy which may make that
country the scene of exciting events. But
may not the expression be also reflex of
the tendency of the imperial will, toward
adding to his store, by the accession of new
territory and the extension of his military
powers?
Which significance is the most probable
makes little difference in the fact that either
promises lively times in Europe-if the
young monarch is not roaring too loudly in
the index.

The Remains of the Lnte Minister PendIeton
Laid to Rest In Spring Grove Cemetery.
CINCINNATI, March 8-The city was in
mourning to-day over the demise of one of her
brightest citizens Last evening Mr.. Pendle-
toms remains arrived In this city and were de-
posted in the chancel of Christ Church. A
detail from each company of the First Regi-
ment under command of Lieutenant Hanamen,
stood guard of honor during the night.
The funeral services this morning in Christ
Church were conducted by the Rev. DR.. Gibson
and the Rev. DR.. Forest, the latter rector Of
Calvary Church, Clifton, where Mr.. Pendleton
worshiped. 1t was attended by the family
and friends only. Meantime one of the most
imposing corteges ever seen in Cincinnati
formed to escort the remains to Music Hall.
1t was headed by a detachment of police, then
followed the First Regiment, o. N. g., and
Governor Campbell and staff Then came the
hearse surrounded by the pallbearers, and
they were surrounded in hollow square by
members of the Old Woodward Club. After
the hearse were carriages containing the fam
lily and friends. and following them came
Mayor Mosby, Governor Buckner, Of Ken
lucky: ex-President Hayes, Ex-Governor For
aker. ex-Governor Cox. ex-Governor Noyes,
Ex-Governor Bishop, ex-Minister Taft and ex-
Lieutenant Governor Lyon.
On arrival at Music Hall that magnificent
building was found to be tilled except the
space reserved Tor thOSe IN the procession As
the casket was borne down the middle aisle to
the catafalque in front of the center of the
stage. the long line of pallbearers separated
and faced inward, while the audience arose
and remained standing. Meanwhile the great
organ sounded funeral march. The hall had
been beautifully draped with national emblems,
and the space about the caskeI was decorated
with palms.
After prayer by the Rev DIR. Forest and an
anthem by the choir of Young ladies of the
College of Music, led by Prof. Foley the ora
tion was pronounced by the Hon. Isaac NJ. JOr-
dan. This was a carefully prepared eulogy of
the deceased, and was full of eloquent praise
of the many endearing qualities as well as of
the principles and work of the beloved dead.
After these services were ended the casket was
placed in the hearse. and followed by the fam
lily ana friends, was borne to Spring Grove
Cemetery where final Interment was made.
