Theatrical Notes.

HARRY DAVIS Eden Musee opened M
bright and early yesterday forenoon and
had its capacity tested all day. Miss Vir.
ginia Knapp created the same big surprise
with the newcomers that she did with her
audiences all of last week. She read with
much ease the minds of about two dozen
people, and did some remarkably clever
work ut finding hidden articles Samson
and other curios are on view. Nellie and
John Mccarthy were interesting in protean
serio-comic made o hit in her song "That
Man in the Moon" Collins and Monroe,
Griffin and Gallagher and Mile. Zwandoski
were very entertaining, and Chas. Duncan,
the balladist drew half-a-doZen encores
with his clever character songs.
LorrIE gibson, "the Little Magnet" John
R. Cumpson, the sweet singer OF German di-
alect songs, make "rhe Irish Visitors an
enjoyable performance. Sam Ryan and
Frank Davis furnish the fun, and it is fast
and furious. Miss Lena Loiraine's ballads
are worthy mention. Otherwise the show
is a we'll known specimen of wild horse
play. The audiences yesterday were two OF
the largest of the season, and the week will
without doubt be big one.
AT the Worlds Museum this week the
young necromancer, Master Eddie Abbot,
gives quite clever performance, and the
wonderful horse Mahomet goes through
some very startling mental feats. In the
theater the Olympic Speciality Company
provides O fair entertainment with some
very clever musical and comedy features.
The crowds yesterday were remarkably
large, considering the counter attraction of
the circus in Allegheny.

HIS HONOR'S OBJECTIONS

To the Purchase of More Land for Highland
Park - Establishing a Baa Precedent
in the Way of Spending Money-The
Souihside's Needs.
Mayor Gourley's veto of the resolutions
providing for the acceptance of options on
additional property at Highland Park is
lengthy and goes into all the details with
his usual directness. He shows that the
resolutions are not what they are repre-
sented to be. Instead of options they are
tight agreements which bind the city to buy
five acres, known as the Fite property from
E. NJ. Bigelow, for $685. IA acres
from William Finn at 1884 16
per acre; three tracts aggregatlng 27L
acres from Charles Lockhart at g, ,53S q
per acre. A total of S241, 900 for about 4S
acres of land which the Mayor says is not
needed. The precedent of buying property
in this way the Mayor says is bad. The
city should wait until the appropriation
ordinance for next year is being
framed to provide for such
purchases and no good reason had been
offered why it should not be done in this
case. The Major includes his objection to
large parks, being too large for the mass of
VIC pSoplc W Wdlh over. fOr the Glass
owning carriages one park like Schenley 10
sufficient in his Judgment In conclusion
he says:
But the great mass of our people do not
drive, When they visit the park they Q on
loot or patroniZe the street cars. When
they reach the grounds they have neither
time nor disposition to travel over 800 or 400
acres o! park property. They want shade,
they want rest.
believe, therefore, in locating parks ne
near the people as possible. A small park
convenient TO the people of a given locality
Is much more desirable, much more bene-
fcial, than a five hundred acre park seven
or eight miles distant. l am unable at the
present time to see any necessity for two
large parks in this city. In years to como
Schenley will be the great central park of
flttsburg. l! 1t Is not large enough it can
be made larger a ter a while.
But the interests of the whole people will
not, in my judgment be subseryed by large
additions to Highland Park 1t is ut the ex-
treme eastern limit of the city and is far re-
moved from the great mass of working peo.
PIE VINO constitute the very large proportion
OF our population, and who need more than
all others, the advantages, enjoyment and
recreation which parks afford. / must not
De understood as opposing Highland Park,
because am not. 1t serves q
grand purpose, but l believe it to be
su1nclently large to meet the requirements
OF those who can, with any degree of con-
venience, enjoy its advantages i do not
consider the present or the immediate Iuture
an opportune time for large expenditures in
park purchases, but If such purchases
must be made would earnestly suggest that
your honorable body consider the advisa-
bility of providing pleasure ground some
where on the Southside before investing al.
most $3.50 900 in the manner proposed by the
accompanying contracts.

A CHILD STARVING HERSELF.
She Runs Away From Home and Finds
Food in Refuse Barrels.

She Runs Away From Home and Finds
Food in Refuse Barrels.
McKEEsPoRT, Sept. II. -[SpeciaL ]-One
of the most remarkable cases of self-starva-
tion ever known has just been brought to
light in this city. The heroine is a little
girl. aged about 9 years The cause for her
strange act is alleged to be ill treatment by
her foster parents The child is a Hun
garian, named Mary Leehman. Her parents
are both dead and she makes her home
with an aunt, Mrs. Mike Leehman.
Three days ago the child disappeared.
Yesterday afternoon she was found secreted
under the floor of the ieehouse of the
Keystone Brewing Company. When
brought forth she presented most pitifnl
appearance. Her eyes had almost disap-
peared in their sockets while the sunken
cheeks gave evidence of the terrible suffer-
ing she had passed through in the past nine
days. In response to questions she said she
had left her hiding place several times at
night to secure food from refuse barrels.
She said that she had left for fear of a
beating The case has been taken in charge
by the local agent of the Humane Society.
