A SCEN E
From Real Life In Water
 hnrV.

We were called to take charge of he re- mains of Mrs-some time ago. She was less than 30 years of age. She left a hus- band and two children, the youngest of whom Is bright intelligent child of five years aud of an inquiring mind. Before we closed the casket the child looked at the undertake er and seemed puzzled When the pallbearers came to remove the casket she seemed still more puzzled. In return from the cemetery we had occasion to call at the house and 80 stopped the hearse a few moments. All at once the child walked up to the undertaken and with considerable feeling asked deliberately, "Where has my mamma gone lou did not bring my mamma back" "Oh, where, Oh, where is mamma gone "' She spoke in accent wild; sat upon the empty hearse
 And thought I heard child. I thereupon looG sd down and saw
 A child with eyes like coal They flashed, and then she trembled-
 l could see her very soul.
 II. "Oh, where is mamma, sir l' she said
 And she To 'ked up and cried, "You said you'd take her out awhile
 Just for little ride" She looked around the empty nehEse
 And tried to see in vain The kindly form she loved so well,
 And then she looked at me-
 III. A playmate older stood close by,
 And pointed to the sky She said: Your mammals gone up ther @ To dwell with God on high " And then she tried to realize
 What dOaa this dream mean: This death that took her mamma dear,
 How cruel does 1t seem
 ". And then she saw her fathers hack,
 It stood beyond the door; She asked him where her mamma was Would she come home no more He took her up and kissed her cheek,
 And silence reigned supreme; 'Twas innocence-'twas innocence
 Who could forget the scene.
 MORIARTY. We were the first in this city to intro duce the art of embalming. The deadly ice-box was taken from house to h use. Everyone knew that wood absorbed dis ease, but the fact was never brought forci- bly to their minds until the PEOPLES UN- DERrAKER took up the task, for which we expect greatful community to build a m1nume mt to our memory in Center square some day. Nobody will ever know how many deaths we saved the city by taking our famous stand ten years ago against the ice-box. We have lived to see the triumph of our labors. We aim to please the peo- pie. We have on hand full line of Baskets, Robes, Habits, Linings, etc. Our charges will always remain as low as the lowest, in keeping with good work.

There is plenty of fun provided for visi-
tors to Harry Williams Academy this
week. Fields and Hanson's drawing cards
are well named and sure to draw we'll. AL
Reeves is with his banjo and his wit kept
the house in great humor, as he always
does. He is "English you know" but he
is funny for all that. Whether he is
nimbler in his fingers or in his tongue
must be left to each individual to decide,
for his execution with both is of high
oricr. Barron and Forrest are descriptive
vocalists who have earned a fame that the y
deserve, and who bid fair to add the en-
thusiasm of Pittsburgers to the laureis they
already wear. J. w. Kelly's songs were
rendered we'll, and fun and paihos strove
for supremacy therein. William Mitchell

evening. If the laughter and applause of
the audience were to be taken as evidence
of their approval Of the piece, it must be
acknowledged success. The only fault to
be found with the production was that it was
too lcng. The comedy was of the con-
tagious order and the success of the per-
for:Gancc is mainly due to the fact that the
audience got no time to rest The fun was
furious to a degree and caught all from
the start.
The story of the play is simple, though
unique 1t opens with the suburban resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs Clasher. Mr.
Clasher is o real estate dealer of more
than ordinary ways and means, and with

inspecting committee made lots of
fun. The second act showed ticket
brokers' Office BY day in which
confusion reigned supreme from start to
finish. mainly through the amusing manner
in which Mr.. Clasher avoided an impertur-
able collector. The last act took the
audience to the ticket Office 'by night, !"

everybody fairly screamed. As Robert

ON THE TOP OF THE CROSS.
Daring Man Stands on the Tip-Top o.

Daring Man Stands on the Tip-Top of
the Cathedral Steeple.
Pedestrians through the business portion
of the city yesterday afternoon were
treated to sight not often witnessed.
Everybod1 knows the natural tendency of
the average American to inquire into
things. 1t man stops and points upward
at an object, in short time curious
crowd will gather and watch the object with
interest Yesterday afternoon some one
discovered man on one of the Cathedral
steeples slowly making his way
towards the cross on the top. People stood
and watched him in breathless anxiety.
Upon reaching the top he proceeded to
tasten the stars and stripes to the cross.
After finishing the work he mounted to the
topmost point, took off his hat and waived
it to the crowd below. Many people turned
away, feeling sure that he would fall, but
he descended in safety.
When seen by DISPATCH reporter be
said his name was R. s. Siegfred and that
he had volunteered to put the decorations
on for glory of the thing. II have deco
rated much higher places than that, he
said. ''The steeples are only 800 feet high,
while I have been fully 200 feet above that
just wanted to show that there are people

The Mascot in a New Dress.

Henry E Dixey appeared last night ut
the Duquesne Theater in a rejuvenated
production of ''The Mascot" Audran's
tuneful little operetta is we'll known, and
considering its graceful comedy and charm
ing music its revival alone should assure il
q hearty welcome. Mr. Dixey played the
part of Lorenzo, and in keeping with the
whole modern;zation of the piece, managed
to get in his usual quota of
gags and humor. He plays Lorenzo as
an old, iovesick Italian dude, with monocle
and powdered hair, and abandons entirely
the original creation of the gouty, clown
like king. His vocal powers are not great
and failed him in several places last night,
but his graceful dancing and clean-cut
comedy made ample amends therefor His
mimetic powers are as wonderful as ever.
The Interpretation of the musical part of
the piece rested mainly with Juliette
Gordon and Signor Tagliepetro. The first
scored an instantaneous hit as Bettind
In the 'Gobble Song" particularly, she
had full opportunity to display her charm
ing personality and her light, clear soprano.
She has grown wonderfully as singer, and
is now easily among the best of our light
opera artists Signor Tagliepetro can lay
NO claim whatever to being an actor,
but his baritone is full and finished
and won him several encores Fred
Lennox is very funny as Rocco, making
him nearly a modern hayseed, and
Harold Blake's light but sympathetic
tenor was heard to good effect in the Pri,,ce's
part. Miss Yolande Wallace as Fianaetta
was very spirited and in several places an
agreeable surprise. The chorus was large
and we'll trained and in conjunction with
the orchestrs lent truly musical air to the
whole assemble. The house was crowded
and imperative in its demands for encores.
After the second act all the principals had
to respond to curtain calls
