MAX O'RELL IN sEWICKLEY.

The Witty Frenchman Delights a Large
Audience With His American Expert
ences-Society Leaders Keep Quiet on
Holidays-white Dinners Now the Fad.
Max O'Rell Iectured last night at the
Presbyterian Church in Sewickley to the
largest audience any lecturer has had in the
valley for years. The church was full in
fact, and the eminent Frenchmau had the
satisfaction Of knowing that the beauty,
wealth and culture of Sewickley were
represented in the audience. Hep
burn Johns introduced the lecturer
in the briefest fashion possible,
and Max O'Rell for nearly two hours
kept his auditors going from smiles to
braced the experiences of Max O'Rell in
America, and contained besides the cream
of his recent books on this country num-
ber of delicioqsly humorous observations
and incidents that the witty Frenchman has
never put in print. For pure wit and telling
description no parallel could be found to
this lecture, and the laughter and applause
which punctuated it showed how highly It
was appreciated last night. Mr.. Paul
Blouet, as Max O'Rell is called off title pages
and platforms will be a guest OF Mr.. Edward
A. Woods, of Scwickley, till Saturday.
A GLANCE at the streets yesterday in
structs one that the polite world here as in
England is conspicuous by its absence from
public view on a general holiday. Scarcely
carriage was to be seen anywhere, except
IN the morning, conveying its occupants to
and from church, and of course nobody was
walking. The matinees at the various thea
ters were well attended, and here and there
in houses at which were fashionable at
fractions, little knot of visitors from the
more exclusive world might be seen. In
general, though, THANKSGIVING had the re-
tired air of an English Christmas or New
Years. A great many merry little dinner
parties were enjoyed in the East End and
Allegheny.
THE President of the Board of Women
Manac ers of the Worlds Fair, Mrs. Potter
Palmer, is described as being tall, with q
finely nodded figure, face exquisitely fair
and as delicately out as a cameo, crowned
with an abundance of waving hair silvertng
over the temples a charming smile, a well
modulated voice and grace of manner. All
these gifts. no doubt, accounts for the fact
women-the board-with her photograph. It
wasn't particularly mannish, nor yet
manly thing to do; and women seeking
suffrage should remember and avoid the
pitfalls for the qualification Of vanity.
THERE is a sort of general impression
abroad, coming from nowhere seemingly,
that the Pittsburg Hospital for Children is
enjoying an embarrassment of riches. 1t is
doubtless q. .phantasy OF the brain growing
out of the often repeated invitation for the
poor to send their sick children. 1t is not
that the hospital cannot find a means for
getting rid of their money, but rather that
it should become so pronounced a blessing
that more money would be required to
prosecute the work. A percentage of the
money realized by the National Pageant
will be devoted to the hospital.

No Geographical Dispute.

THE English Channel would not ordinarily
be understood as included in tile term Atlapt,c
Ocean Ore would not say that Dover or
Calais is on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
and yet clearly the Enghsh Channel belongs to
the waters of the Atlantic. In point OF fact
therefore, according to the usage of the world
there is no dispute of any consequence between
the two Governments on the geographical point
under consideration. The historical point is
the one at issue.

SAGE AND MAIDEN
Have a Lively Tilt at the Alliance
Executive Committee

Have a Lively Tilt at the Alliance
Executive Committee.
A lively time was had at the session
of the executive committee OF the Farm
cts Alliance yesterday, when it came
to the question of issuing an address to
county Alliances. asking them to call-
vass the state Oh the subject discussed
the preceding day relative to pur-
chasing the "Great West" A spir
tied debate was preciptated in
which President IgnatiuS DOnnelly and
State Lecturer Eva Mcdonald took star
parts. Sage Donnelly insisted upon
that course being pursued, and Miss
Mcdonald with equal earnestness OPP
posed the plan and emphatically refused
to sign such address. Mr.. Donnelly
charged Miss Mcdonald with giving to
the papers more of the proceedings in
executive session than it was thought
by him advisable. This precipjtated
more lively discussion. Resolutions
were approved favoring the legal in
corporation of the state Alliance
couched in the following terms:
Resolved, That i'll the Judgment of this ex-
ecutive committee, the committee of five
members appointed by the State Alliance at
the last annual meeting TO investigate the
affairs of the state agricultural college and
its relations to the state university, should
continue to pursue their work of investiga-
tlon, and should act in injunction with any
committee on the part of the Legislature APP
pointed to make q similar organization.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this execu-
tive committee that committee should be
appointed by the house or senate to investi-
gate the relations of the state agricultural
college to the state university, and especially
TO inquire how far the funds belonging to the
former institution have been absorbed by the
state university.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman of the committee.

night at the Gospel temperance meeting
conducted by the Woodworking re-
former, Thomas N. Doutney. There

work they are doing in this city, COM
mending them to the kind consideration

The citizens central union will meet

tiers for the benefit of the delegation.
Light is wanted, and every chandelier
should blaze. Let every organization
turn out, hold secret sessions, and
transmit the results to the
delegation. If there is anything
the delegation wants, it is crystallized
information. Gen. Sanborn carries a
standing sign: "Wanted: Information

gestions on an economical adminlstra-
ton of the public schools thankfully re-

In an article in yesterdays GLOBE 1t
was not intended to convey the I'M
preston that the names of the recent
grand jury were drawn from the box 10y
Judges Brill and Kelly. That, of course,

tended was that the original list
of names was furnished by the
judges alone, and that the chairman OF
the county commissioners was not pres
ent. The law was 10 doubt fully com
piled with. but the idea is simply to let
the public know the method and draw
its own conclusions, after reading the

After some recent judicial and legis-
iative experience it will not be at all
surprising if the next Democratic
county convention names straight-out
Democratic candidates for judges. sena-
tors and representatives and then elects
them.

Well as the Fields of War.

Among the many enjoyable affairs of
season, the dances given by Company C,
First regiment, M. N. G., have been
most successful-the bright uniforms
of the "boys in blue" seeming to have
some remarkable attraction for the
youth and beauty of the city. On each
occasion when the dances have been
given, the armory has been crowded by
the elite of society, and the members of
the company have put forth speciaI
efforts to entertain their fair guests.
Monday. Feb. 8, the last of the most
pleasant series will be given, and, as it
will be full dress affair, promises to
be a social event. The members OF the
other companies of the regiment have
been invited, and, as full dress uni
forms will be worn, it can be safely
stated that very large number of la
dies will be present, for In the presence
of military uniform the somber even
ing dress suit has to retire, and bright
uniform will always win lady's heart.
