To the Editor of Tue Evexino Stan ‘Tux Stan is usually very reliable, but I beg leave to ask your reporter who gave him away about the alleged prohibition of smoking in this department, which interdict was fully set out in your paper night before last. I had oc- casion yesterday to visit the department several times and saw the happy visitors and others solz.-ing themselves, as usual, with cigars and cigarettes. When I asked why is this thus I was blandly informed that the prohibition of smoking was only a newspaper story. Now let your reporter give bis authority or apologize for his story.

To the Editor of Tne Eventxe Stan: Your correspondent of August 21, 1890, in his letter entitled “In the Poiice Court,” after al- Inding caustically to the manner of conducting eases therein, calls pointed attention to the “disgusting spectacle” to be witnessed before the Police Court building every morning, and asks that this daily ‘spectacle’ be removed from “the heart of the city.” Permit me to call the attention of the pablic and the Com- missioners again to this matter, with the declar- ation that this ‘‘spectacie” is an intolerable infliction upon that part of the city, and inthe manner in which it is conducted it would not be difficult to prove it a nuisance. It is some- what difficult to see how residents have so long borne with the daily procession of unfortunates, the idle crowd around, the sausage venders, and to these may now be added the prisoners’ van delaying on 6th street, and the uew jail in the rear, While the spectacle is sickening the im- moral effects procecding from this daily show are too great to be estimated. Has not the time arrived when all this should be stopped? As the Police Court is about to remove tempo- rarily to City Hail might it not as well remain there now permanently, its proper place, —— Real Estate Matters.

The New York Herald publishes the following from Montreal: The Gazette, government organ, will publish today what may be regarded asa reflex of the dominion government's position toward the reciprocity resolution introduced in the United States Senate by Mr. Sherman, Speaking of the terms of the resolution it will say: “This proposition seems to us admirably constructed and of acharacter to excite ap- proval in Canada, It is strictly in accord with the policy of the dominion government, sct forth during the negotiation of the abortive fisheries treaty in 1887, when the British com- missioners, acting at the suggestion of the Cana- dian ministry, proposed to take up the whole question of the trade relations ot the two coun- tries and settle the fisheries dispute on the basis of a reciprocity arrangement, Unlike the projectsof Mr. Wiman, Mr. Hitt, Mr. Butter- worth and the Canadian liberais, that of Mr. Sherman givos ample scope for’ negotiations, mutual concession and the protection of inter- ests evsential alike to the material Prosperity as to the political integrity of the dominion. It does not put a pistol at the head of the Cuna- dian government with the threat: ‘Put the control of your fiscal affairs in our hands or suffer a commercial crusade against your in-. terests.’ On the contrary, it provides alterna- tives and proper Jatitude. Under the terms of the resolution questions relating to the coast- ing trade, to transportation in bond, to the fish- eries, to reciprocal privileges in wrecking—in a word, to the commercial relations of Canada and the United States in their widest sonse—can be made matters of discussion and negotiation. “Whether the resolution will be adopted ie doubtful. Mr. Sherman, however, is one of the most influential members of the Senate and ——- a a party a juite possible he wi ye the support of a aulaber of democrats. Just now the driftin the dominant party is toward reciprocity in ac- cordance with the lead taken by Mr. Blaine. Meanwhile it is satisfactory to have mooted b; & public man of John Sherman's eminence a: ability a proposa) for enlarged commercial re- lations, whose acceptance will be entirely con- sistent with honor and in- terest.” ——+90—___—_ Virginia State News.

Under a cloudless sky and in the presente of thousands of people, says a Gettysburg dis- patch, the curtain went down yesterday on Pennsylvania's farewell appearance on this battlefield. The theater was the beautiful National Cemetery, the stage tho little vine- shaded rostrum, and the parquette the volvet} lawn that stretched away eastward to the iron gates that border the Baltimore pike. The sultry July days of °63 formed the first scene in the drama, and for twenty-seven years the setting has never been shifted. It was pecu- liarly fitting that the last act should occur in the presence of the sleeping men whose valor it was intended to emulate, and especially that the mau who was the chief executive of this commonwealth when tho curtain rose should be the censral figure as it goes down for the last time. The old war governor was the originator of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, and he presided yesterday, when the thirteen monuments that wiil tell for years to come the part taken by his ‘‘boys” in this battle were formally christened with the rites of peace. Promptly ut 1o’clock the main body of the Reserves responded to the call, “Fall in,” at Camp Patterson, which was the ‘rallying point, The ins was formed and marshaled by Capt. John ‘faylor, headed by the Frankford Band, and with the corps flags flying. it marched five hundred strong to the rostrum in the National Cemetery, from which so many noted speeches have been and will be delivered. Here 4,000 citizens were gathered to hear the exercises. ‘The monuments to be dedicated in this formal way were the first, sccond, fifth, sixth, ninth, tentH, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth ia- fantry, the first cavalry and Rickett’s, Thomp- son's and Cooper's batteries. The first, fifth, ninth, tenth and twelfth are on Round Top, the other infantry ones on the wheut field, Rickett’s and Cooper's batteries on east Cemetery Hill and Specie, battery on Hancock avenue. Seated on the platform were many men who helped to make the Reserves famous and who were now engaged in the loving and patriotic duty of dedicating monuments to perpetuate the memory of the deeds of daring and bravery done by their dead comrades in behalf of the Union, Capt. John Taylor introduced ex-Gov. Cartin. He was received with great cheering, and in speaking of the organization of the Reserves suid he acknowledged the honor of presiding, and reminded them of their increasing age. He complimented their organization and said it was unique in that they enlisted for three years when the national government called for three months’ men. He was gratitied at their fighting ability. Ex-Gov. Curtin introduced Fighting Chaplain Beale of the first cavalry, who offered prayer. A select choir sang “‘Drop- ping from the Ranks.” Gov. Beaver in presenting the monument to the Battletield Associntion expressed regret at his inability to carry out the wishes of the Re- serves for a memorial building. He had acted according to law and would give his reasons, for they have never been given, for the veto at some future day. Col. Chill W. Hazzard in accepting the trust for the agsociation assured the rves of the sacrodntes with which it would be keptand said that the monument would tell future gencra:ions of the men who died here that government of the people, for the people and by the people might not perish from the earth, tt [cca ee Two unknown young men were drowned in the East Lake Garfield Park, Chicago, Sun- day in full view of hundreds of persons.
