THE SIDEWALK QUESTION.

The sidewalk ordinance has run up
against the snag of the Mayors close
scrutiny, and in the veto message sent in
Yesterday that wideawake official dis
closes several pertinent objections to the
measure in its present form. 1t is clear,
after the analysis given to it by Mayor
Gourley, that the provisions of the ordi-
nance permit an exercise Of power that
would not only be extreme, but would in
cur the danger of unconstitutionallty
With those loose and dangerous provisions
In the measure the veto was necessary.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to recognize
the importance of some measure to obtain
greater uniformity and better character
of sidewalks. We can hardly support the
Mayors Endorsement of the brick side
walk. Dear as that ancient material may
be to association and memory, it is for
travelled streets snare and a delusion. 1t
NAV suffice for streets where cheapneSs is
necessary to the pockets of the property
holders, but for the leading avenues of
progressive city it should be tabooed.
While the distinction which the ordinance
sets up may not be the most logical one, it
was certainly an attempt to establish the
principle that for the leading streets that
archaic style of footwalk is no longer to
be permitted.
1t would seem to be the obvious
course when the errors of the ordi-
nance are pointed out to let
new one be brought in shorn of the
arbitrary powers and the extreme and
suspicious specifications discovered in this
one. That could have been done without
unnecessary delay by incoming Councils.
But the present body preferred to perfect
its record and ignore the objections of the
Mayor by passing the ordinance over his

to the sidewalk paving ordinance was the
right one. No ordinance should be passed
which leaves loop-hole for abuse. Such
measures should be so framed as to be
independent of the integrity Of those who
administer them.

They Range From Burletta to Farce, and
From Spectacle TO Melodrama.
There is not what one would call an en-
barrassment Of riches in the way of theatri-
cal attractions at PittsburQ's theaters this
week. De Wolf Hopper in "Wang." Collier
and Reed in "Hoss and Hoss," Gilmore's
Devils Auction" "The Vendetta" and q
few other players and plays are what came
to us after Bernhardt, a long way after.
But should you care to laugh without ex-
erting your brain to any serious extent
Dewolf Hopper as Wang will serve your
purpose. This original and uproarious come
dian reappeared in the title role OF wang"
at the Alvin Theater last night, and kept q
large audience laughing for several hours.
The strange thing about "Wang" is that it
stains, as comic opera actors and their
clothing are apt to do toward the close
of pretty lengthy season. Mr.. Hopper sets
them q good example to be sure for he never
tires; but the palace and purlieus Of Bang

badge Of intimacy with many stages and

Hoss and Hoss Improved.


From comic opera or burletta Of the
"Wang" brand to farce comedy is not much
of jump. and you can go to the Duauesne
Theater and laugh as heartily at "Hoss ana
Hoss" as you've a mind to. This light and
plotless absurdity was seen here last fall,
and it was enjoyed generally. Now it is
really a more compact and egregiously
farcical piece than it was last October, and
nobody in the cast has changed for the
worse. Charlie Reed and William Collier
bear the main brunt of the battle, and they
are so different in their methods, though the
results they achieve are alike, that the con-
trast of comedy is as funny as the farce itself.
The second act has been altered for the bet
ter: a new finale, with faithful and funny
sketch Of q rather tough ball, having been
tackled on. New songs and no end of new
business have been sandwiched in every
where, and the third act has been enlivened,
both as to the costumes of the women and
as to dialogue and business. Some hOary-
headed chestnuts have also been removed;
notably the secret society initiation
travesty in Act II. Louise Allen
gives brief, but convincing sample
Of her Kangaroo dance. and Arthur Moul-
ton, Helena Collier, May Yohe and the rest
help the fun along and incidentally adorn
1t in the ladies' case with some beauty and
vocal sweetness. Altogether "Hoss and
Hoss" as a laughter-mill grinds in grand
style. big audience said SO emphatically
last night.

Tne entertaining qualities Of 1.-THE Ven
detta," !" a melodrama produced at the Grand
Opera House last night, exceed bya great
deal its merits as q drama. But as "The
Vendetta" was written to amuse people
and not to edify them, by show Of art or
otherwise, we suppose Mr.. ID. X. Hfg-
gins, the author Of that grand work, "The
Plunger,,' knew what he was up
to. With anything less than weeks
close study no man could succinctly relate
the story OF 1.-THE Vendetta" 1t begins with
a murder, in which the wrong man gets the
blame and the villain all the beauty and
Doodle lying around. and ends in a complete
hero, Octorio Romdrf, with variant ac-
cent and a series of statuesque
poses. Mr.. varney, as the villain is

effects, though he acts evidently with close
regard for traditional melodramatic moth
DDS. There was good deal OF life and free
dom, as well as fire, in the portrayal of the

she deserved fully the hearty applause she
received. The rest of the company is very

ism of some of the scenic effects, and doubt
less with reason when the lights are prop

ing piece, pretty we'll done.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s. The United

Court in the well-known Chicago lake
front cases. The lower court decided in
favor OF the city, holding that the Illinois
Central did not own riparian rights and

years, and involves property already
worth millions of dollars and wharf.-the
