Although tbe stringency that worried the country a few weeks ago is practically over, there is much speculation as to the intention of congress with regard to the tariff, and the croakers and calamity howlers are fulfilling tbeir office of trying to frighten everybody.

As a matter of fact, it is not likely that congress will interfere with the tariff tp any great extent, this year at least. As tbe Fitnss has double wedding that ocenrred Thursday V' "frMUCSS 0-lMlaeN Offlea. JUM-AUegfceay. CSt-Saata Sid. TELEPUONESl 1143-Mltorlal Emu 6077-lart Eld.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1813. I-OH 111. t.L,OH. It Is not often that a sporting event can be arranged to give the participants as well as tbe spectator a country outing distinct from the race, at ftich an interest-' log spot as Niagara Falls. Generally a contest like the Piiess' second road race, set for the Stlth, is a matter strictly of business, not.al'ovring the participants to give attention to anything but the principal matter in band.

But in this case those who go to Buffalo to wheel" it from that city to will ablo to visit Niagara aud have a pleasant time alto- gether distinct frolu tbe race. It is undcr-- stood, of course, that the race will be entirely an amateur affair. It is on this cc-ooantthat the Prks Is obliged to withdraw Its offer to refund the entrance feo of fo to all wbo make the distance within the prescribed limit of 38 hours. As explained in yesterday's Press, this would make tbose getting their money back liable to be considered as having received cash prizes, which would prevent their ever taking part In amateur events again. So the Pr.Bsa did the best it could under the circumstances, by reducing the entrance fee to $3, aud not refunding it.

Tbe last raoo was lost by those who could have won It because they disregarded tbe rules. On this account tbo Press is careful to make the rules distinct, and to avoid anything on its own part that might possibly be construed as an infringement of tbe rules of the L. A. W. This ruco must be run and won entirely ou its merits, and it is particularly desired that there ball not be any question as to the tecum- callties when the event is over.

The Press will do its part toward this do sirable consummation, and it looks to all tbe men who enter tbe ruce, to second it in its efforts to chow the world a good race. There is a great chance to lower the record and it is to be hoped our young men will make tbe most of their opportunity. THE IVL.U UAIIV.

Ill A pitiful case of destitution, and want brought about by sickness and death in the family, was reported to tho department of charities, Allegheny, yesterday. It was investigated by Inspector Eichenlaub, who found matters even worse than they bad boon represented.

In a two-story frame house at No. 190 Madison avenue, Allegheny, that bas long since become rickety from its advanced age, witb-sickuess and starvation staring tuam the lace, Mrs. ivate Kieinnouse, with her five littlo children, one only a few weeks old, and tne others ranging in age from 4 to 8 years, resides. Tho house contains four rooms, carpet- less ana scantily lumisnea. bho has neither food nor money, Bud no means of securing oither.

The little family have only been prevented lrom starving by the as sistance of kiud neighbors. About three weeks ago the oldest child, a boy of 8 years, took ill with typhoid fever. While he lay sick the husband aud lather contracted the disease, aud a few days later he died. What littlo money was in the bouse prior to the time Mr. Kieinnouse was stricken down was soon exhausted in providing food and medical aid for the sick.

When, finally, death came appeals wero made to irieuds and relatives to defray funeral ex penses. The sick child finally recovered and was sent to its grandparents in the coutitry. They are in but moderate circumstances and unable to give the distressed family much A day or so after tbe departure of the convalescing child a second ono took down witb the disease, and is at present lying in a critical condition. In tbe midst of these troubles tho fifth child was born. Although mother and child are reported doing well and ere being taken care of by neighbors, such cannot last long, however, and yes terday the case was reported to the de partment of charities as stated.

Mrs. Kleinhouse and her children will be given immediate attention. An effort will be made to have her and the babe and the sick child placed in a hospital. The other children will be placed in some charitable institution until all have recovered. Mrs.

Kleinhouse is an industrious woman and is willing to toil for the support of herself and little ones if she was able." SENT TO THE HOSPITAL. A Girl Cared for by the Humane So clcty Agent. Agent O'Brien, of the Humane society, yesterday aftornoon placed Maggie Ayers, a 17-year-old girl, in the West Penn hospital, she being afflicted with typhoid fever. The girl, whose parents are both dead, has been under the care of the Humane socioty for the past three years, and she has been living as a domestic at a number of places during that time. In speaking of the girl yesterday Agent O'Brien said: "Three years ago last May this girl, wbo was then only 14 years of age, was found in company with a Frank Fullerton, a would-be detective, who had found tbe girl in Steelton, where she was living with her aunt, and induced her to run away with him.

The girl was placed in our care and an information made against Fullerton for abduction. He was convicted in Judge Slagle's court and sentenced to the penitentiary for a year. Tho girl has ripened into a rather handsome young woman. I could never learn very much about her parents, but 1 think berfather or mother, or probably both, were Spaniards, the girl being very dark complected. "For a few weeks past the girl has been living with a Mrs.

Donner, back of Sharps-burg, who, when the girl took sick sent word to us and asked that she be placed in a hospital. Three years ago tho girl appeared to be greatly attached to Fullerton, and cried eud fretted herself almost sick about him when be was sent the penitentiary, but she soon appeared to forget nil about him, and it seems she has behaved herself very well ever since."

The copyright on the famous aong, '01d Folks at Home," better known Ribber," expired the other day and now anybody may sell or publish it. This ballad, which is said to have been more profitable than any other song ever written, is familiar to all nations, especially those to whom Patti has sung. An existence of over 40 years has not diminished its popoltrity. Stephen C. Foster was the author of both the words and music of "Old Folks Homeland had he composed nothing else his name would still have been indelibly stamped in that STEPHEN C.

One afternoon he entered the office of bis brother, Morrison, and asked for tbe name of a southern river to put into a com pleted song, a euphonious name of two syllables.

Morrison suggested Yazoo, Pedee and several others, all of which were cast aside. They thou had recourse: to an atlas, end the first river that caught tbeir eyo was tbo Suwanee. Having tbe desired attributes the name was put into the song. The song was first sung in public by Christy's minstrels, and in 1851 was copyrighted by Firth, Pond of New York. This firm made a fortune out of it, and at the expiration of the 38 years fixed by law Foster's wife and daughter, Mrs.

Marion Foster Welch, secured a composer's copyright for 14 ears, and it is this period that bas just expired. Foster was born in Pittsburg July 20, 1826, the same day that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died, and lived only 27 years. btrangely, although be was a northerner and always uvea an tbe north, his most popular songs are distinctly of the south. In addition to "Old Folks at Home" he composed, among 125 others, My Old Kentucky Home," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground," "Old Dog Tray," Way Down South," "Nellie Was a Lady," Willie, We Have Missed You," "Old Black Joe" and "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming," all ot which had a phe nomenal sale. One of tbe secrets of bis success was his simplicity in style and musical construction.

Ho died in New York city, but was buried In the Allegheny cemetery at His body was lowered into the grave to tbe sounds ol "Old Folks as Home." Tbe funeral services were held in tbe old Trinity Episcopal church, on Wood street, and an unusually large number of the local musicians were present. During the services a number of the airs written by the popular poet were rendered, and as the cortege entered tbe portals of the cemetery the Great Western band rendered Come vv here My Love Dreaming," in a manner that affected every person who heard it. The "Suwanee River" has been sung during the week at the exposition by Black Patti.

and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who heard the familiar but beautiful air. The oil portrait from which the accom panying cut was made is in the possession of Hon. Morrison Foster. When the expo sition in Allegheny was opened, and a revival of the Foster melodies was carried into execution, the portrait was con- picuously displayed on tbe band stand in he center of the main aisle. It was the first and only time that thousands bad an opportunity of knowing what the man who had sung himself into tbe hearts of the peopio looked like.

No matter how rabid may be tie majority in the two branches of congress for "tariff for revenue only," they will hesitate to take steps in opposition to all reason, Therefore, if it bo determined to reduce the tariff tho day for such an act to go into effect should bo fixed at a time in the distant future Tho conservative portion of the Democratic majority will recognize the necessity of giving rnreful thought to any proposed cbnngo that will aim to destroy the work of 5)0 years in buiidiug up a tariff that bas given prosperity to the United States such as is not enjoyed by any other country.

Denipsey's friends are circulating a petition to be presented to the pardon board, asking thut ho be released from the peul-toutinry, where he is counued because convicted of being in a conspiracy to poison non-union men at Homestead last year. The first two reasons given are that the petitioners do not believe ho was guilty, uiui mat, evidence am not warrant a verdict of guilty. Granting these propositions, what is tho use of tho petitioners wearying tho people with other reasons? If tho pardon board agrees with the peti tioners, it will no doubt recommend the pardon of tho prisonor. If, does not, nil they can odd to tbo first arguments will hardly help bis case. There is such a thing as piling it on too thiekly, or protosting too much, and the friends of Mr.

Dempsoy would probably do more for him by sticking to their' text thut they do not believe him guilty, and that he was not shown to be guilty at his trial, instead of costing iinputatiops upon the district attorney that the pardon board will bo disinclined to believe. Discretion is needed now, in behalf of Mr. Dempsey, who, on the wrong side of the prison alls, cannot do much iu the matter himself, if anything.

Miss Keuck's mar-riago will not interfere with her musical career, as together with her talented bus-band she will appear in numerous cities this winter and in the future. Friday evening at the exposition this season as of yore, will bo classical, and naturally will be society night. Not that tne rank and file of the visitors love classical musi less, but the upper crust love it more, If last Friday evening may be taken as a criterion, tho classical night Is to be taken advantage of very largoly by tho early homeowners who as yet have almost blank engagement books. It is an occasion for the airing of pretty toilets and an agrocablo broak in the week that might oterwise be rather dull. But natty gowns ure not confined to Friday night by any menus nor are stylish, attractive girls, either.

An event of tbe past week at McKees-port was tbe party given last Tuesday evening by Edward Wilkelmaa at his borne ou Walnut street, in honor of rassed correspondents wbo have been try ing so bard to give their papers the earliest Information on tbe subject can take a rest and smile sympathizingly with the president. Thebirtbot a baby to the chief executive of tbe United States bas not the Significance that attends a similar event in a royal family; There is no speculation as to tne future of little Miss Cleveland as it may concern the country. The gossips have not begun to select a busband for her, and there will be no necessity to watch her fancies in tbe future for fear she may throw tbe handkerchief to somo ouo who may not bo her husband tor reasons of The ordinary watchfulness that is bestowed upon every American girl to present her innocently falling into undesirable acquaintance will be her's, but that will be a matter for her parents aud guardians arid the country at large will have nothing to do with It. On the whole, the little girl might congratulate herself that she is born an American even though not a citizen as defined by the constitution, though she may one day grow up to be president of a woman's commission. There is as much interest felt here in the birth of a daughter to the president, how-ever, as there, could bo iu Germany or England if the emperor or the priuce of Males became a father to a new sou, and yr there is the additional pleasing charactor- istio to it in this country that the interes is purely frieudly, not nffocted by specula-9 tions as to what the baby may become in relation to the nation.

And as this is ouly a girl baby, the nation will show due fore-bearanee, and hope she may become as popular as her mother. AS TO The colored people who held indignation meetings a few wouks ago to protest against the lynching of men of tbeir race found guilty of atrocious crimes will hardly be disposed to excuse or pity the wretch wbo was hanged and shot by a mob in Alabama Friday night. Assuming that tbe guilt of the fellow was beyond all question as it seema to bo, since the posi- -tiTOevideuce was added to his own confession wbo can hlarae the people of Alabama for putting him out of the world? He confessed to having poisoned the well of a neighbor, causing the death of three children, besides tbe sickness of the father and about 30 neighbors. The father will die, probably, and the neighbors may not all recover. What righteous punishment could thore be for such a miscreant, ever-his color? Is it not reasonable to suppose that the indignant populace would have hanged arid shot the guilty one if he bad been white just as readily as they did There are soma crimes that are tacitly admitted in isolated localities to demand immediate punishment and wholesale poison-log ia one of hem.

It is not a question of color in this case. The deed was something beyond the conception of many people in its atrocity and the only proper way to deal with the perpetrator, in the opinion of these Alabama people, was to bang him first and riddle his body with bullets afterward..
