MRS. sCHENLEY,s LATEST GIFT.

Mrs. Schenley, by donating the ground
on which the institution for the blind is to
be erected, has shown how unfounded were
the reports that she had decided not to aid
this particular charity. The giver of the
magnificent tract of land now known as
Schenley Park, is not the person to allow
small considerations to move her from a
purpose once determined upon, and having
promised to aid the proposed institution,
the promise was certain to be kept. Mrs.
Schenley has also shown that her affections
for the home of her youth have not abated,
and that its progress Is always a matter of
much interest to her.
The site selected seems to fulfill all re-
ouiremen:s admirably, and a very short
time should be allowed to elapse before the
buildings are erected and ready for occu-
pancy. Every day now counts, and the
sooner the institution is in home of its
own, the sooner the full expectations of its
founder will be realized. Mrs. Schenley
has done her share toward making the
realization CT these expectations possible.
Merely as an aside, il might be mentioned
that her action suggests way out of the
Carnegie Library snarl. Pittsburg has
many persons who could soon settle the
matter of site FOR the latter institution by
donating one. If this suggestion is acted
upon, the completion of the library will be
greatly hastened. and the giving would, as
IN act OF philanthropy, rank with those
which have already earned the gratitude of
our citizens

TEKNIS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. APR. Il, 1891
hpKINLEY,s InPRACT1CABLE WISH.

Major William Mckinley is reported as
willing to run for Governor. with the con-
cition that the fight is made squarely on the
tariff issue. HE does not want" says the
New York Press, ''either State complica-
tiors, Federal election methods, reciprocal
y+rade suggestions or any other issues to
cloud or befog the minds of Ohioans."
This is a rather difficult contract to fill.
A candidate like Mckinley must stand or
fall on the Republican record. He can get
clear Of State complications by putting the
Republican marty so completely clear Of ali
jobbery or abuses in State administration
that there will be no dispute about them.
1t may be a little late to commence that task,
but it is better late then never. Mr.. Nc
Kinley can clear himself of the reciprocal
trade business if he wants to by declaring
his opposition to it. But there will be de-
cided doubt as to the wisdom of that course.
and a general doubt as to whether reciprocal
trade has not as much to do with the tariff
policy as the duty on tin plate.
But it will bother the Major to get the
Federal election question out of the Repub-
.lican record. If he had wanted to keep
campaigns clear of that issue
he could have done so by beginning his op-
position to it when that bill was before the
House. As he failed to do what he could
to prevent that issue from getting into the
campaigns, he will have to stand its pres
enoe there this fall as best be can.

WORKING TOWARD REFORM.

The plan Secretary Tracy has permitted
to be published as the one which will be
adopted for taking the navy yard out of
politics is very good as far as it goes. 1t
comprises the opening of a registry list on
which every applicant for labor can have
his name placed. Unskilled labor will re-
ceive employment in the order of their
names on the register. except preference
will be given, first, to men who have served
in the army and navy, and, second, to those
having families to support Skilled work
men will be required to undergo an exam
ination, and will be selected according to
the ability brought out by that test. In this
connection it is pertinent that the Secretary
gives a very strong Endorsement to the re-
suits of the civil service examinations. He
declares he knows, by personal examination,
that appoirtees under that system are un-
questionably more efficient than those Sc
lected under the patronage system, and he
proposes to extend the former to the navy
yards.
This plan is undoubtedly a long step
toward abolishing the use of navy employees
to do political work. If carried on in good
faith it will go far toward removing politics
from that branch of the Government service
But the trouble with all such reforms is the
fidelity of their enforcement. The Secretary
undoubtedly intends to carry them out in
good faith, but there are many subordinates
able to render his orders nugatory. With the
power of discharge left unchecked, for in
stance, how easy it is for the superintendent
of a navy yard, who wishes to oblige his
friend, the Congressman, to have lot of
ward-workers entered up on the registry list,
and then just before election discharge all
workmen who come in ahead of them. De-
vices of similar character to get around the
reform are already familiar to political
workers at the capital.
The most efficient influence In taking the
Government service out of politics is to have
the whole range of the official world, in
Guiding chief clerks, heads of bureaus, and
all their kind, understand that the admins
tration is thoroughly in earnest. When it
is well known that any official who uses
patronage for political purposes viii lose his
head, politics will disappear from the public
service without any mental reservations.

MAIL MISCELLANY.


Something About French Real Estate-why
the Traction Cable Jerks : Curious
Freaks of Steel-Needed an Inspiration
Price of Gas in London-Causes of
Suicide.
The April Bulletin, issued by the Chicago
Real Estate Board, contains an article on real
estate methods in Paris. Much of the article
has special reference to the history and geo.
graphy of the city and to description Of the
principal points of interest. The facts in re-
gard to the sale and transfer of French real
estate are furnished by the Secretary of the
American Legation and Paris real estate
broker. Some, interesting comparisons are
made In regard to the business customs of
France and the United States:
There is no real estate board in Paris. Sales
are principally made through advocates and
notaries. There are nearly 6000yO00 land own
ers in France. There are over 1000, 600 whose
holdings are less than two and one-half acres
each. The heighrh of buildings for residence or
business is limited by law to not over six
stories. The value of real estate in Paris is
low as compared with New York and Chicago;
$50 square foot for the land being very high
price. Business is scattered over the city; not
confined to particular streets as in the United
States.
Real estate is described on the public rec
ords with u1inuteness and detail unknown to
the system of this country. A full description
of the superficial area and all buildings being
given, Iscluding boundaries and abuttals party
walls, ancient lights, etc. Country lands in
France are described with the same care,
whether woodland, pasture or recently planted,
how the land is inclosed, with fence, stone
wall etc., and if there is any shooting on it,
ETC. Property is sold either by private con-
tract public auction before a notary public or
by the courts Thirty years unulsputed pos
session makes title absolutely good. The
French laws and forms in many cases are the
same as here.
Regarding marriage and the mutual rights
of husband and wife they are, however. very
different. marriage contract regarding the
property is generally made.

Price of Gas I'm London.

The New York Times says the cost of making
gas in London was considerably increased last
year, owing to the exceptionally high price of
coal, but the companies continued to pay
dividends of 13 per cent, and the price of gas to
the consumer was not increased. The price Of
gas supplied by the Gaslight and Coke Com
pany was 661S cents per Thousand, and oonsum.
ers who used the gas Of the South METROPOLITAN
Gas Company were required to pay only 54115
cents The increase in the cost of coal was
about one dollar per ton,
The distribution of the earnings Of these
companies is governed by law which permits
dividends to be increased only when the price
of gas to the consumer Is decreased. Under
the operation of a sliding scale, as provided in
the statute, the companies have been able not
also to accumulate large reserve funds, the
reserve of the Gaslight and Coke Company
having been S. 656 9T5 at the end of the last
calendar year. Owing to the largely increased
cost of coal the companies have been obliged
to draw upon their reserves funds for part of
paid. The law would have permitted them to
increase slightly the price of gas, but they pre-
ferred not to do this.
The price of gas to consumers in some of the
other cities of England is much lower than it
is in London. In the last ten years there has
been notable movement in Great Britain for
the regulation and restriction of the profits of
gas-supplyiug corporations, and In some cities
the business has been taken up by the munich
palities, to the very perceptble advantage of
the people. Where the business has been re-
tanned by the corporations, as in London, it is

The finest grades of razors are SO delicate
that even the famous Damascus sword blades
cannot equal them in texture. It is not gen.
orally known that the grain of a Swedish razor
is so sensitive that its general direction is
changed after short service. When you buy
fine razor the grain runs from the upper end
of the outer point in diagonal direction
toward the handle. Constant strapping will
twist the steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use will
drag the grain outward from the edge, so that
after steady use for several months the fiber of
the steel occupies position exactly the reverse
of that which it did on the day of purchase.
The process also affects the temper Of the
blade, and when the grain sets from the lower
and outer point toward the back, you have
razor which cannot be kept in condition, even
by the most conscientious barber. But here's
another curious freak that will take place in
the same tool: Leave the razor alone for a
month or two, and when you take it up you
will find that the grain has assumed its first
position. The operation can be repeated until
the steel is worn through to the back.

SPRING.

April has come, with her promise of flowers,
Come with the budding of bare, leafess trees,
Come with the sunllgh. and swift-passing showers,
Whispers Of summer to be in the breeze.
Shine out to meet her, earth stars that have
hidden
Under the ground through the dosolate days,
Haste to the feast to which all things are bidden
10 welcome the springtiIne and Yield her our
praise.
How shall we render her thanks for her comingp
Long reign the winter, and cruel his sway,
While in far happier lands she was roaming,
She who has come back to rule us to-day.
How shall we show her our true adorationY
Though earth and heaven together should sing,
Yet not sufficiently great the ovation.
Which we would give her-our well-beloved
spring.
snow-drop and crocus have blossomed before her,
Messengers they Of her glory to be;
Blue skies stretch radiant their canopies DER her.
Swallow and cuckoo return o'er the sea.
SO with asl reverence come forth to meet her,
Nature uniting in onejoyous voice.
Mountains and valleys re-ecno to greet her,
Spring 10 come back to us-All things, rejoice.

The Petal Of Rose Causes the Death of a
Fair Young Bride.
HAVANA, April 13-No happening for many
day has caused so much talk IN Cuba as does
the untlmely taking off of Senorita Ernestina
Olivia, the bell of Havana. This lady was
about Is years OF age. Her beauty was of rare
quality. She was the toast of all the gentle
men of the Greater Antilles. She lived with
her parents in one of the handsomest houses
in the city of Havana. on the Prado, and was
noted not only for her beauty, but for her
sweetness and charm Of manner and DISPOSE

Senorita Ernestina Olivia was engaged to be
married this spring to Don Eduardo Lebredo.
A few evenings before the day set for the we'd
ding the bride-elect happened to be In the gar
den adjoining her fathers house. Carelessly
plucking rose she put one of the petals in the
mouth. 1t is presumed that an insect which
had been feeding on some diseased meat was
concealed in the petal and stung her lip, for a
short time afterw7rd she complained of pain
in her lip, which began to swell in an alarming
manner. Physicians were summoned. but the
poison could not he controlled or eradcated,
and after suffering great agony she died on the
following morning.
All OF the bIooded Havanese were at the
maiden's burial. A gorgeous gala coach was
drawn by eight horses decked with plumes, all
coal black and covered with white netting
driven by eight pages in scarlet livery and two
coachmen.
Following them came the family carriage
draped with mourning and decked with blaz-
ing torches, the funeral coach and innumera-

TRAGIC ANNIVERSARY.

This is the anniversary OF President
Lincoln's assassination. The recollections
of that tragic event, which changed the re-
ioicings Of the'nation over the termination
of the Civil War into universal mourning,
will be fresh in the minds Of older citizens;
but to those below middle age that terrible
Gala nifty is hardly even a memory. By the
act OF a msdman, hardly less crazy. though
more impressive, than Guiteau, the greatest
figure of his age was cut off at the moment
of his triumph 26 years ago to-day. 1t is
interesting to speculate what the effect upon
public affairs, and what position in the
duration OF his governmental Office, would
have resulted if President Lincoln had lived,
like Sherman, to the close of the second
decade after that in which his history was
written. The country has grown in wealth
and enterprise since his death to an extent
which could hardly have been conceived at
that time. But it may be questioned whether
our public councils are ruled with the de-
gree of sagacity. disinterestedness and fore
sight which brought the nation through the
greatest crisis to its greatest triumph.

Needed an Inspiration.

A merchant had clerical friend, between
whom and himself there existed q warm inti-
macy says a writer in the NeD England Mag
dzine Every Saturday night. as the merchant
was balancing his cash, there would come q
note from the minister requesting the loan of a
s. bill. The money was always restored
punetually on Monday morning. But what
puzzled the lender was that the identical bill
was always returned.
On Saturday night he sent a S5 gold piece in
stead OF the usual bill, and marked it. Still
the very same coin was returned on Monday.
The merchant became nervous about this
strange fact. He was becoming consumed
With curiosity, when note came from the
reverend borrower Christmas eve, asking
for a loan of $40. He resolved to call and in
quire into the mystery. When he was shown
into his friends study he found him plunged in
melancholy.
"Mr Bowersox," said the merchant '.if you
will answer me one question l will let you have
that $40. How does it happen that you always
pay me the money that you borrow on Saturday
night in the very same coin or note on Mon
dayR"
The parson raised his head, and after strug-
gle said
''My friend, you are gentleman. Christian,
and New Yorker-1 know that can rely on
your inviolable secrecy You know that am
poor, and when on Saturday night I have
bought my Sunday dinner seldom have a red
cent left in my pocket. Now 1 maintain that

BiiOu Theater,

The "Stil Alarm" has lost none of its popu.
larIty. The Bjou Theater last night was
crowded from parquet to ceiling with one of
the most enthusiastic audiences that ever Sat
in Pittsburg playhouse. The interest in this
clever play is sustained as much by the story as
by the novel effects that are used to work up
the enthusiasm of the audience at judicious
intervals. 1t is the old story of love and en-
emies, with love and virtue triumphant at last,
as they must be in all well regulated melo-
dramas. 1t is needless to say that the engine
house scene, with the horses dashing into their
places at the still alarm, and the men fired with
the call of duty. springing to the front, brought
down the house. 1t always does this, and it
would have surprised everybody had 1t failed
to do SO last night There is another effective
scene in the "Still Alarm" the breaking of the
window, that is always catchy. The company
is very good. Harry Lacy makes Jack Manly
a hero, every inch of him, and his control of
the beautiful horses is something wonderful.
The musical features of the play are very
pleasing. Altogether, it is no wonder that the
"Still Alarm" is one of the most successful
pieces on the American stage to-day.
