THE FLASHING GTOy uEMORL4L ARCH.

Since the year opened subscriptions to the
fund for building the Washington Memorial
Arch have been encouragingly numerous. Over
81 900 has been raised, thus reducing tho
amount which is needed to finish the noble
structure to little less than S23, ,0O0. As the
work makes progress it is to be expected that the
subscriptions will keep pace with the demand for
them 30 that the arch may advance to completion
without being delayed by want Of money. Every
citizen of this town may well esteem it privl-
lege TO be allowed tc help pay for this noble
memorial Why not? We all in 1889 entered
heart and soul into the celebration of the first
centennial Of WaShingtOn's Inauguration. We
did so because of the conviction born Of patriot
ism that so notable an event in the history OF
our country was worthy of signal remembrance
The arch may be said to be the Quintessence

An interesting question in social philosophy
is discussed by a correspondent to-day namely
Do women hate each other? 1t is not alto
gether a dignifed question. nor one that Is
creditable to human nature. Yet it needs the
asking There is, in truth, notion, which has
been formulated into proverbial shape and
which is OF an origin as indeterminate as most
proverbs. that the feelings of women toward
each other are well-nigh universally marked
with envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharltable-
ness. The courtesy due to the fair SEX how

and it is pleasant to be assured that women
themselves repudiate it vigorously, by works as

The defeat of Osman Digna by the Egyptian

inefficiency of the felah as a soldier has been
so constantly maintained that he himself at last
came TO believe it; and so when the foes Of
Egypt were TO be overcome, 1t seemed the natu-

A GIFT TO THE CITY.

Henry Phipps, Jr., Donates 100000 for q
Conservatory in schenley Park-Partfal
Decision on a site-May Result in More
Gifts of Similar Nature.
Henry Phipps, Jr., of Carnegie, Phipps
& Co., on Tuesday, in letter to Mayor
Gourley, donated to the city S10O, 900 to
build a-conservatory at Schenley Park. 1t
is further understood, though not stated in
the letter, that he will double the amount if
necessary, in order that Pittsburg will have
the finest conservatory in the country. The
letter contains no stipulations, as the fol-
lowing copy will show:
NOVEMBER Il, 1891.
Hon. II. 1. Gourley, Mayor City of Pittsburg:
DEAR S1R-If the city grants me permis-
sion l shall be very glad to erect a conserva-
tory in Schenley Park at a cost of say $780,
600. In the event of favorable action, my
good friends, Messrs. E. NJ. Bigelow Chief of
Department of Public Works; Oliver 7.
Scaife and John Walder, have kindly con-
sented to act as committee to aid me IN
the matter, and we shall endeavor to erect
something that will prove a source Of in
struction as well as pleasure to the people.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY PHIPPs, JR.
The Mayor replied last evening, thanking
the donor in suitable terms on behalf OF the
people, and promising to properly submit
the matter to Councils. Chief Bigelow is
undecided where the new building will be
placed, but has intimated that a point 1, 800
feet southeast of the Forbes street entrance
bridge would be the most convenient and
otherwise desi able location. Mr.. Phipps
in an interview gave it as his desire that the
conservatory when built shall be kept open
seven DAYS in the week. though he does not
saw so in his letter. 1t is understood the
ministers will not make any move in oppo-
sition to this
The gift has caused much rejoicing in the
city, and everyone thinks it will greatly
increase the usefulness of the already pop
ular Schenley PBrk. Chief Bigelow is par
ticularly happy. Controller Morrow thought
the gift most timely and the donor most
generous. Said he:
81 have expected to hear from other pub
lic-spirited men since Mr.. Carnegie's mu-
nificent gift. This last will probably cause
stillothers to open their purse strings in
behalf of the city's beauty spots. There is
plenty of room at Schenley Park vet for
other gifts, that will not only beautify the
place, but make monuments to the gener-
osity of the donors that will endear them to
the people. Handsome fountains, monu-
ments, entrance gates similar to the Allie
ghenv Cemetery entrance, and in a few
years, a menagerie building, are some
things that would be suitable and appreci-
ated.''
Charles Clark last spring expressed an in
tention to donate $50, 900 to build a 4. con-
seryatorv at Schenlev Park but for some
reason has not vet fulfilled his intention, al
though he and Chief Bigelow went East a
couple of times to examine similar build
ings there.
