AMONG THE THEATERS.

Houses-Notes From the Places of

The Attractions Ali of a Light and Popular
Order-Good Audiences at the Various
Houses-Notes From the Places OF
Amusement.
-Farce-comedy, minstrelsy and vaude-
| vile are on the ascendant in the theaters
this week. The people like to be amused,
and they are surely having their will.
At the Duquesne Theater that quaint little
comedian, Mark Murphy, who is SO well
known in connection with "Our Irish Visit
| ors," appeared as o star alone for the first
time in Pittsburg. "O'Dowd's Neighbors'' is
| one of the weakest connections, as regards
| plot and action, that was ever dignifled with
| the name of play. But that does not mat
| ter. As rendered by Mark Murphy and his
company 1t affords two hours and a half of
entertainment that sends one away in good
humor, and with dozen catchy melodies
jostling each other in his brain.
The story, such as 1t is, concerns one
O'Do'cd MARK Murphy and his neighbor
with charming rich widow living between
them, Mrs. Kate Riley Miss Ethel Lynton).
There is the usual fighting and squabbling,
and masked ball, which gives opportunity
for every one to wear fancy costumes and to
mistake each other for somebody else. 1t Is
useless to say this causes plenty of fun,
when such comedian as Murphy is at the
ball. Tho only fault to be found is that he
is not on the stage enough. The audience
would like to see and hear him from begin
ing to end of the performance.
Mr.. Sam j. Ryan, as McNdb, gives an
artistic representation of an illiterate, but
dignifled, IIishman, and exercises a good
voice ana nimble pair of heels in songs
and dances.
dainty little fairy is Miss Ollie Arch
mere. In the duet with Mr. Ryan, "They
Never Came Back" she not only sang
sweetly, but danced with grace in her
long dress that has never been excelled in
this city. The seXtet from Lucia de Lam
mermoor' was rendered in way that
would have been creditable to ian opera COM
pany. There is IL very large cast, the pro-
gramme containing % names. The girls are
all pretty, and the assertion of the manage
ment that it has strong singing company,
is sustained by the work done last night.
Mr.. Joe f. Nichols, the musical director,
holds them well together. The violin imita-
tions of Fred Luciers are clever. Charles
Eatwood, in his imitation of Emmett,
brought down the house. The finale of the
second act, "Songs of All Nations created
furore and demanded several recalls.
.'O'Dowd's Neighbors" will do big weeks
business

1T seems to be pretty clearly demonstrated

IT seems to be pretty clearly demonstrated
that the sub-treasury, land-loan politicians
have not sole and fee simple title to the
Farmers Alliance. The President of the
Kansas State Alliance has publicly repudi-
ated the ideas of PETER and Simpson, the
Missouri State body declined to indorse the
sub-treasury scheme and referred to the
local organizations, and thirty-six out of
see Legislature are avowedly opposed to the
Peoples party. That political craze may
run time longer, after which we may ex-
pect the alliances to be devoted to the same
legitimate effort-to advance agricultural
interests-that is undertaken by the oranges
of this State.

SAVING ON AUTHORIZATIONS.

In co Ommenting on the reported policy
of Secretary Foster to save some money
for the Treasury by not spending the full
amount of money appropriated by Con-
gress, the New York World finds itself as
usual unable to approve of anything the
Secretary does. 1t asserts that he cannot
''make money or save it by refusing to pay
debts"
This implies the theory that an appro-
priatioH by Congress creates debt which
the Treasury must pay. Of course if the
work contemplated in the appropriation
has been done in accordance with law,
there is a debt which the Treasury must
pay. But this is not the case at present.
The fiscal year for which the current ap-
propriati0nS were made is not yet one
fourth exhausted. There is nothing to
prevent the administration saving money
by reducing expenses in certain appro-
priatiOns twenty or twenty-five per cent,
unless there is principle, which the
World implies, that when Congress appro-
PIRATES money the executive has got to
spend it. But is there any such principle?
There is no such assertion in the Consti-
tuition. That instrument declares that no
money shall be expended without an ap-
preparation, but it nowhere asserts that
the money appropriated must be ex-
pended The history of that provision
also excludes that idea 1t was intended
to place a check on extravaganza and en-
croachments, such as are illustrated in the
career Of our late friend Mr.. Balmaceda,
of Chile. But there never was an inten
ton that the executive should not be more
economical than the limits set by Con-
gress, if it so chooses, and is able to save
money.
The practice of our politics generally
favOrs the idea that if money is appro-
priated, it has got to be spent But is not

A FRENCH NoBLEMAN DEAD.
He Won Distinction in Civil and Diplomatic
Life and Lived Near New York.

Life and Lived " ear New fork.
NEW York, Sept. H-[SpecidL 1-Charles
Adolphe Pineton, Marquis de Chambrun
and D'Amfreville, died at his residence in
Chelsea to-day after an illness of nearly
three weeks. On August 26 Lawyer George
Norris, Of Jersey City, called on the Marquis
at his office. He found him in q ia
tigued and worn-out condition. Mr.. Norris
left the office, and two hours later met his
friend on Broadway in the custody of two
policemen. The Marquis appeared to be in
o dazed condition. Norris took the sick man
home, and a physician found the patient to
be suffering from paralysis of the right side.
The Marchioness set out Immediately from
Paris for Liverpool. On arriving there, in
spite of being provided with letters from
Minister Reid and high French officials, she
was unable, on account OF the rush of travel,
to secure passage for New York. She was
compelled to take the slow Cephalonia for
Boston, and arrived in this city
husbands death. The Marquis de Cham
brun was made an officer of the household of
the Comte dc Chambord, the head of the
elder branch of the BOurbons. Early in
1865, under the rule of Napoleon Ill, the
Marquis was sent by the Vicomte
Dronyne de Lhuys, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, as a special envoy
to the United States to study
the causes of our civil war. He became in
innate with President Lincoln and was pres
ent at his invitation at the surrender of
Richmond. In 1871, when the Republic was
established in France, De Chambrun was
made legal adviser to the French legation at
WASHINGTON.

SPECIAL, NOT GENERAL.

1t is with regret the public will learn of
the embarrassment of that extensive iron
concern, the Moorhead & McCleane Com
pany. We may add, also, it is not with
out surprise the announcement will be re-
eeived While the fact Of the embarrass-
ment has been more or less known for some
time past in business circles, the SUPPOSE
ton was that there were resources behind
the company which would enable it easily
to tide over the temporary difficulties
which overlook it.
We trust the Moorhead & McCleane
Company will get the extension asked for
and come all right out of its difficulties;
this because of its leading members, who
have long been identified with the indus
tries of PittSburg, and also for the reason
that any other result will give rise to dam
aging impressions as to the state of buSi-
ness in this city.
We all know that the conditions for
business, especially for the iron industry,
have been specially good in Pittsburg dur
ing the past ten years The failures and
embarrassments which have occurred since
last November are the exceptional results
of exceptional and Special-it might al
most be said perSonal-causeS. That the
reasons for them are not at first always
clear to the public is the best evidence that
they do not reflect the general course of
trade and manufactures. 1t seems neces-
sary to emphasize this fact in order to re-
move impressions abroad which would
scarcely be benefc cial to our local interests.
Any embarrassments which have arisen
in Pittsburg since last November have dis
tinctly resulted more from methods of
tinanciering and business ssmanagement than
from any want of ample opportunity for
making good profits.
