Cannot See Much on Sunday.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
am desirous oftaking my children to see
the rolling mills, blast furnaces and table
and window glass factories. The only time
1 can spare for the purpose is on Sundays.
Can you tell me If any of the above places
are running on Sundays? If so, which ones
would be most interesting to the 'little
ones" and are visitors admitted and what
hours would be the best?
PITTsBURG, August d Mt. WASHINGTON.
better take the 'little ones" around on a
working day. On Sunday only necessary
housekeeping up fires, ETC., is performed.
Some mills require q note from the office be-
fore admitting visitors, but not money. All
or any will interest old and young.l

THE smothering to death of three small
children in an old tool chest at Ironton yes
terday was either most deplorab bic accident
or a crime for which no punishment too
great can be named. The circumstances
surrounding the case seem to indicate that
the babes were deliberately fastened in the
chest and lett to perish for want of air. The
man, woman or child who would knowingly
consign any one, much less three little
children, to such u horrible death, should be
summarily removed from among the in
habitants of the earth.

Ex-pREs1DENT HAYES AT NEWARK
He Refuses to Talk Politics, But CompIi.
ments Civil Service Reform.

NEWARK, Aug. 2l.-A quiet parsonage
dropped into town last night and left this
morning before half the curious knew they
had seen ex-President Hayes. He had
dropped off here for rest after attending
the Pennyroyal reunion in Guernsey county
The General was on his way to Lakeside to
attend a reunion of his old regiment, and
slept quietly in the hotel all night, undis-
turbed by dance which was in progress on
the same floor.
The General avoided politics in his con-
versation, only saying that civil service re-
form as an institution was growing. He said
President Cleveland kept many men in office
who would not have been there had it not
been for his opinions on this reform. One
man is still at his post who was appointed
by President Pierce, while the main door
keeper at the White House had been put
there by Hayes.

honest performance OF duty.
THAT copy of these resolutions be

who has Judgment enough to superin-
