RIGHTS IN THE SIDEWALKS.

A new question is introduced by the steps
taken by the Department of Public Works,
to prevent the occupancy Of part of the side
walks by steps leading to the Easements of
abutting buildings. What the foundation
is for the theory which has long obtained,
that the property owner has the right to oc-
cupy three feet of the sidewalk in this
manner does not clearly appear; but it is
plain that Mr.. Bigelow intends to have the
matter fully tested. The basement en-
frances are. no doubt, of great utility to the
occupants of the property abutting on the
streets; but the sidewalks are no less neces-
sary for the travel to which they are dedi-
Gated. The decision of the legal rights in
the matter is quite important. If the posi-
tion of the Department of Public Works is
sustained, it will necessitate radical re-
construction in many of our business build
ings.

FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST.


GARIBALDTs sons and all of his relatives
are living in Italy, and though none of them
are wealthy. they are well provided for and
highly honored.
SEVERAL of the students lately arrested at
Naples for riotous proceedings in the streets
have been condemned to heavy fines and six
months imprisonment
RoCH EFFORT has taken the fancy to become
q designer or sketcher. and daily passes few
hours in drawing amateur pictures Of a comic
character akin to political cartoons.
ALL of the bank note currency of the Italian
Government is engraved and printed in the
United States. The notes are neat, but small
resembling somewhat the fractional notes
issued in war times.

He calls himself king of the island. and the
title is loosely accorded to him by the rustic
inhabitants. His marriage with one of the

young Caprians.

THE WAY TO TEST 1T.

The criticisms OF that speak-easy list made
by the police department, have brought the
question to an issue which is to be tried be.
fore the court. The form in which the issue
is to be presented is rather hazy. The SIM
plest way TO bring tie matter to legal de-
termination would be to prosecute the
alleged Illegal liquor seller for violation Of
the law.
Indeed, that is the only way in which the
correctness of the list can be fully verified.
Neither the courts nor the police department
can spend the time to produce or hear evil
dence showing the correctness of the asser-
tion as bearing on an applicants fitness for
license. But if the evidence is submitted as
the ground of prosecutions for Illicit selling,
the claim upon the attention and time OF the
courts would be valid. If the police de-
partment will take that course it will yindi-
cate and enforce the claim of its list to be
considered of public importance.
Still a somewhat informal and purpose
les investigation of this one case may be ac-
cepted, in view of the pressure of more
vital matter. 1t is not half so necessary to
settle the accuracy of the speak-easy list as
it is to have full investigation of the
charge that influence has been used to e1-
tort money from saloon keepers under the
pretense that its payment would secure
licenses.

HOW THEY sTIFLED 1T.

The disposition of Senator Sherman's
antitrust bill by referring it to the Judi
ciary Committee was the only thing that
could be done with it after the policy had
been successfully adopted of loading it
down with amendments foreign to its pur-
pose and utterly senseless in character.
1t may be a question whether the Sena-
tors who took this course were so ignorant
of the importance of the matter that they
actually supposed themselves to be engraft-
ing valuable features on the bill, or took
that method of killing bill which they
dared not vote against. 1t is hardly possi-
BILE to so exalt Senator Ingalls, honesty at
the expense of his intelligence as to rank
him in the former class; and he was the
leader in the movement to smother the bill
under riders, by his amendment to tax trans
actions in futures. 1t is pertinent that the
Kansas Farmers Alliances take the same
view, a meeting of IS presidents of the
county organization having resolved to sup
port no member of the Legislature who will
vote for the Senator's reelection. Ger

THE MODERN WAY.


They'd taught her to live-in sort of way

And now she'd fain die-and end with smash,
But she's never been taught about dying.
Recently Max O'Rell contended that the

am tempted to quote few lines from Mr..
Lathrop.
There is not" Mr.. Lathrop says, "a charac-
ter actor living, nor any other kind of an actor
or actress, who, by any amount of stimulation
or makeup, can deceive an audience as to his
or her identity for more than a few minutes,
provided the audience have known the same
performer in other pieces. Even if they have
not seen the actor before, they soon form an
impression Of his personality from the way in
which he plays his part, and from a score of
little traits and touches that belong to the man
himself. After that they will derive a heIgh-
tened enjoyment from seeing him in another
play. II would De absurd to demand that he
should change all the tones and even the tin,bre
of his voice to suit the different parts He
could hardly change the ttn,bre If he wanted
to. any more than he could change the color of
his eyes. Why, then, should we insist that he
should always conceal his true features, dis
tort his figure, and generally obliterate his
actual personal appearance?'

TIE DESTRUCTION OF THE STORM.

The terrible calamity which hurried con.
siderable portion of the city of Louisville
into ruins, yesterday evening, resembles the
destruction of Johnstown in the sudden and
overwhelming character of the visitation,
although we are permitted to hope that the
destruction is not so vast and the loss of life
far less appalling. The exhibition of the
terrible power of the cyclone which, beside
prostrating scores of villages and hundred:
of farmhouses throughout the valley Of the
Ohio, has torn to pieces a considerable Sec
tion of Louisville, is one before which
humanity can only stand, awe-struck and
silent.
By the dispatches elsewhere it will be
seen that the estimates of the loss of life run
up into the thousands; but it may be hoped
that the complete statements, which will
not be made for days. will bring down that
fearful total. At this stage of such a
calamity estimates usually become exag-
gerated, and multiply the losses. But what
ever diminution may be made in the total
of lives destroyed, it is evident that the
loss was fearful one. Hundreds of people
have been crushed by the falling buildings
or have suffered the fearful death of burn
ing while imprisoned beneath the ruins.
Like the calamity of last summer, one hor-
ror is added to another, until the mind re-
fuses to conceive the full measure of its
awful slaughter.
In the presence of such destructive work
of the elements, the duty of inquiring for
human responsibility is absent. Perhaps
with the increase of cyclones, it may be
necessary in the future to urge the provision
OF stronger buildings and walls better able
to resist the most furious blasts. But in
this case the pressing public duty is to
succor the suffering and relieve the destitute.
The charitable public will be quick to re-
spOnd with all that is needed to alleviate
the condition of those who have been
injured and made destitute by Louisville's
fearful calamity.

THE NEW SURVEYOR,

The nomination of Mr.. Dravo, for Sur
Neyor of Customs at Pittsburg, which was
sent to the Senate, yesterday, very nearly
completes the appointments for the import

Dravo is among the best known of the
appointees of the administration in this
section. While resident of Beaver, he
has long been identified with the business
interests of Pittsburg. As leading mem
Der of the Chamber of Commerce he has
been prominent in enterprises for the well
fare of the community and as an active pol

reputation, but has developed an indie

ACNE COUNCILS ANNIVERSARY,
The souihside Accorded n Rich Musical
Trent Inst Ni1ht.

The souihside Accorded n Rich Musical
Trent Inst Night.
The second anniversary of Acme Council No
2l9, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, was held in Odd Fellows
Hall, Southside, last night. The capacity OF
the hall has seldom been so severely taxed as ii
| was on this occasion. There were about ,O0C
| persons present. and the audience included
some of the most cultured people of the city
and the East End. The stage was converted
into veritable hothouse of plants and flowers.
In the center was large PLAGUE made of car
nations, resting on an easel. The decorations
were by E. w. Williams.
The entertainment was pronounced the rich
est musical treat the Southside has ever been
favored with. The programme was varied.
The conspicuous numbers were those rendered
by Mrs. s. c. Ford and Mr.. Homer A. Moore,
of Cleveland, to whom much OF the success of
the entertainment is due. The reception ac-
corded them was of the warmest possible char
acter and both soloists were obliged to respond
Ford recalled an incident Of ten years ago, in
which she figured triumphantly. 1t was in the
days of the Lyceum Theater. Carl Retter had
osganidTed an ,vS orchestra and had ar
ance. The young lady who was to
have sung the leading part gave him a 4S-hour
notice that she could not appear. The director
was at a loss to know what to do He tele-
graphed to all the large cities for q soprano,
and found Mrs. Ford in Cleveland She ar.
rived in Pittsburg at o'clock of the day upon
which the performance was to be given. She
went on the stage and sang the aria from
"Freischuetz" and the polonaise from "Mignon"
without a rehearsal or without having ever
seen either, and made big hit. Her singing
last night cannot be spoken of in too generous
terms. Her selections were Dreams" by
Strelezki; Carmen" from "Seguediglia;" 10,
That We Two Were Maying," "Serenade," and
"a Child's Song" by Nevin. Mr.. Moore, who
possesses a beautiful baritone voice, sang 'She
Alone Charmeth My Sadness from Refine de
salia, and Thou Art My All.'' by Bradsky.
Of the local performers, Miss Julia Schwartz,
the elocutionist, won the hOnors of the even
ing. Her rendition of "a Georgia Man at q
Theater" enthusiastically received. The
Allegheny Mandolin Troubadours and the
Toerge Orchestra rendered the instrumental
music. The members OF Acme Council have
reason to feel proud of the success of the en-
tertainment

The Mucklernt Episode.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In an editorial in The DISPATCH of Friday,
March 2S, is sentence reading. THE state
ment that party of American Mechanics who
had gone out to the village of Muckelrat to put
up national flag, donated by that order to the
school, were driven away by mob of Hunga-
rans and Poles" is striking example of the
eagerness of our public press to stir peacea-
BILE village into ferment of bitterness and ex-
ctement. The truth is that there is not Hun
garian or Pole in the neighborhood, and the
statement that the committee were driven
away from the school building is untrue. 1t
is a wonder TO all lovers of truth that the pub
lie press Is not more careful N its statements
regarding peaceful communities
An offer was made by the Catholics to pre-
sent flag to the school before the Mechanics
made theirs, which. however. was not ac-
cepted. The statement that the Mechanics
wanted 1,000 armed men to put the flag up
consider unreasonable their part, as ten
unarmed men could do it without trouble, or
even one for that matter.
THOMAS F. N. CURRAN.
MUCK LERAT. March 2S.
1.-The editorial comment on the episode erred
in the direction indicated only 1t was pre-
sumed that the objectors were Hungarians
and Poles, although the local account did not
SO specify. The reporters were unable to reach
Mucklerat Thursday night, and were obliged
to secure data from other sources. The main
facts, however, seem to be correct.l

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Joseph Hay.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
BOSTON, March 2S.-Joseph Hay, of Boston,
died Friday at the ripe old age of 100 years 2
months and 13 days. During the first half of the
century he was at the head Of the largest import
ing house of crockery and glassware in the city.
He was for a long time President of the Boston
and Sandwich Glass Company, was also a member
of the Common Council in 1887, 1881 and 1S3a was
also member of the first Board of Directors OF
the Firemen's Insurance Company chosen in 1851
He had resided in the house where he died
for about 70 years and of his ten
children who were born there, but
three survive. For about quarter of a century
he had been totally blind from some disease of the
optic nerve. Up to within few years he had en-
though on account OF his infrmity he went out
but little he greatly enjoyed the visits of relatives
and friends. Within the past few years il has
been customary to celebrate his birthdays by a
gathering of friends and relatives, and these occa-
slons gave him much pleasure. He went out to
vote for the last time in 1885 and up to his 95th
year he had failed to vote but twice once when he
was abroad and once when i'll. The old gentle
man was an inveterate smoker and almost up to
the last seemed to enjoy it as well ever. He
was one of the two survivors of the city govern
ment of 1880
