One Of the principal purposes of the tariff
Enquiry ordered by the senate resolution of
. March ), 1891, was to ascertain whether
this claim of the opponents Of protection
WAS justified. An investigation much
more extensive and thorough than ever
before attempted was instituted. The
committee determined to ascertain the
prices pail for all articles of general con-
sumption at retail in every part of the
United State; on the first Of each month
from June, 1889, to September, 1891, Il
period Of seventeen months prior to the
passage of the act of 1890 and eleven
months subsequent. The quotations were

places ut which quotations We're obtained
were selected with the view of covering the
entire country geographically, md in.

and agricultural communities. The prices
were secured by the trained experts of the

This investigation clearly establishes tho
fact that a decline instead of an advance

The coming of Agnes Huntington apd her

next week is arousing more than passing
interest. and fashionable audiences will no
doubt be the rule. Captain Therese, by

engagement.
FRANK W. SASGER's Broadway Theater
Company is on o tour of the principal cities
of the country, and everywhere it has been
produced, the critics have been warm in its
praise. Archibald c. Gunter in dramatizing
his popular novel, "Mr. Potter of Texas"
which is soon to be presented at the Bijou,
week of February L, by Mr.. Sanger's COM
pany, begins the play in Venice, moving
from there TO Falkstone, with the arrival of
Mr. Potter from America on a visit to his
daughter While a number Of people have
suggested that the play should include the
entire story, as in the book after careful con-
sideration, and a great deal of work, Mr..
Gunter found that in order to place on the
stage properly the ombardment of Alexan-
dria and the fight with the Moslems, it would
take five or six hours to perform the drama.
As we have not yet arrived at point when
a play can be divided into two evenings, a.
method successfully. Mr.. Gunter had to
abandon the idea, and start the comedy as
before stated. Joseph Wheelock, Jefferys
Lewis, Frank Aiken, Maurice Drew, Mat B.
Snyder, Lee Lamar, and May Haines are the
principals in Mr.. Sanger's company. The
sale OF seats will commence next Thursday
morning.

upon the arrival in San Francisco: and thas
testimony is also herewith transmitted.
The brutality and even savagery OF the
treatment of these poor mon by the Cnilean
police would be incredible If the evidence
of Shields was not supported by other ai-
rect testimony and by the distressing condl-
tion of the man himself when he was finally
able to reach his vessel.
The Captain of the vessel says:
HE came back a wreck: black from ms
neck to hips, from beating, weak and stupid,
and is still in a kind of paralyzed cond1tlon
and has never been able to do duty since"
A claim for reparation has been made In
behalf of this man, for while he was not
citizen of the United States, the doctrine so
long held by us, as expressed in the con-
sular regulations is: ''The principles which
are maintained by this Government in re.
gard to the protection, as distinguished
from the relief, of seamen, are well settled.
1t is held that the circumstance that the
vessel is American is evidence that the sea-
men on board are such; and in every regu-
larly documented merchant vessel the crew
will find their protection in the flag that
have as yet received no reply to our
note of the 21st instant, but in nv opinion.
ought not to delay longer to bring these
matters to the attention of Congress Tor such
action as may be deemed appropriate.

Pleasures Of Memory.

What blessed thing is memory.
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleasantnessesl
You recall your childhood days, do,
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associa-
tions, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind
comes the face of some friend. 1t
was once pale, sad face. 1t showed
marks of pain, lines of care. 1t
seemed to be looking into the here
after, the unknown future. And then
you recalled how it frightened, how
it recovered its rosy hue, how it be-
came picture of happiness and joy.
Do you remember these things?
Many people do, and gladly tell how
the health returned, how happiness
came back, how the world seemed
bright. They tell how they were once
weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, GER
tainly unhappy. They tell of sleep
less nights, restless days, untouched
food, unstrung nerves. And then
they tell how they became happy,
healthy and strong once more. You
have heard it often in the past, have
you not? You have heard people
describe how they were cured and
kept in health? You certainly can
remember what it is that has so helped
people in America. If not, listen to
what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who
is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: "Six years
ago, when suffering from mental care
and overwork, l received the most
pronounced benefit from the use of
that great medicine, Warmers Safe
Cure" All, now you remember.
Now you recall how many people you
have heard say this same thing. Now
you recollect how much you have
heard of this great Cure Now you
are ready to admit that memory is
usually pleasing, that the highest
pleasure comes from perfect health,
and that this great remedy has done
more to produce and prolong health
than any other discovery ever known
in the entire history of the whole
world.

ELECTRICITY FOB RAILROADS
Chief Engineers of Western Lines Think II
Application Is Near at Hand.

Chief Engineers of Western Lines Think Its
Application Is Near at Hand.
Chief Engineer McHenry, of the
Northern Pacific Road, and eight other
railroad engineers were in the city yester-
day studying electricity at the Westing-
house plant with view of seeing what
progress had been made toward using it
as a motive power on railroads. They formed
railroad commission, and were very reti-
cent about their business. Outside of Mr.
McHenry the others refused to furnish
their names. Thev had examined the
motors of the Thomson Houston and Edison
companies in the East, and expressed them
selves as well pleased with the gearless
motor of the Westinghouse people.
Mr.. McHenry seemed to think that
the application of electricity as the
motive power on railroads is near at hand.
He said motors would be put on each car
and they would furnish the power. The
problem rests with the electric companies,
and as soon as they can solve it the rail-
roads stand ready to abolish locomotives,
coal and steam. Numerous experiments are
now being made and the results are very
satisfactory. The engineers left for Chi
cago on the limited last evening.

Famous German Company.
SPOONS FILL Tue OPERA HOUSE.
Richard Golden Returns Again With the

4 PRETTY IRISH PLAY AT THE BIJOU

1t would be absurd to comment upon the
Individual work of the actors of the Meia-
niger Company that made its first appear
ance in this city at the Duquesne Theater
in "Julius Caesar" last evening. As this
company produces Shakespeare's great
tragedy, it is intended to represent series
of grand spectacular pictures, while at the
same time adhering strictly the text. Treat
ing of it in this sense, it must be admitted
even by those who have no knowledge
of the German language whatever,
that the Meininger Company's perform
snce is enc of the most magnifi
cent spectacles that has ever appeared
in this city. Indeed, it would be difficult
to name any production that can be con-
sidered superior to it as a whole. The idea
of the Duke Of SaNe-Meiningen, the royal
patron of this organization and the indi-
vidual who has brought it up to its present
excellence, was to give a perfect perform
8nce of drama as the dramatist intended
it. To that end the scenic artist, the
costumer, the mechanic, studied the
time and place of the play and did his work
accordingly. The results perfect work of
art. Aside from the magnificent scenery the
especial feature is the work of the mob. As
every play-goer knows, the mob has great
deal to do in Julius Cesar" and there is
not the slightest doubt that no stage mob
that ever appeared in Pittsburg did IFS work
half so well as that of the Meininger Com
pany. In the forum scene, that great scene
where Mark Antoaty wins the mob to him by
force of his grand oration over the dead
body of Cesar, the crowd of motley citizens
performed as well as Mark 4ntony, and
Riahard Oeser, who assumed that character,
was himself no mean actor.
Without doubt the best individual work
was that done by Mathien Pfeil as BI7a,s
Mr.. PfeiI is good actor, aside from the
mannerisms peculiar to the German player.
But, as previously stated, there is no indi-
v1dual work that can be truthfully selected
for critical allusion. 1t is as a whole the
performance must be viewed. In
that respect 1t is great production and
and will well repay visit. The audience
last night was fair for Monday. MANY of
the better class of Germans were present,
and Judging from their comment quite
number will be seen again at the Duquesne
before the week is over

And a Great Crowd Floclxs to Hear the
Tar and Tartar.
The sudience was as interesting almost as
''The Tar and the Tartar at the Grand
Opera House last night. The standing
room in the foyer was invaded, and women
rs well as men were crowded in the rear of
the parquet. In the parquet itself the
audience had an odd appearance, for more
than two-thirds were women. Spoons did
it. Manager Askin's idea of giving a spoon
ss a souvenir of the 3G0Ih performance of
the 'Tar and the Tartar" proved
bowling success, and before the
curtain went up the supply of spoons had
given out Not so the supply of women,
and to appease the spoonless printed cards
in the form of rromissory note, the spoon
payable before February 10, were given
out. The spoons will be paid at the box
Office
The theater was tastefully. though not
extrsvagantly, decorated for the occasion,
and the opera went with q swing in tune
with the festival There is nothing very
subtle about the humor of the piece but
Digby Bell has contrived to weave a pretty
good web of laughter through the
first two acts, and it is not his fault if the
jocularitv of the last act is trile attenu-
ated. Mr.. Bell was at his best last night.
and the audience could hardly have laughed
more heartily and continuously than it did.
Miss Marion Manola seemed to be in far
better health than she was last fall and
sang delightfully."- of course. She has
changed the music of her part somewhat,
and one interpolated song from ''rhe Tyro-
lean," called ''The Nightingale, Z" is gem.
She sang it admirably, and as she always
does with rare delieacy. For the rest of
the comic opera and the cast, there is no
more to be said than that the performance,
as a whole seems better than it was when
seen here last fall. The audience was gen.
erous with applause and the encores-espe-
cially for Digby Bell-were very numerous.
The comedy work of Laura Joyce Bell, and
Wilkes singing and acting were good
points deserving of mention.
