12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1891 I;, JPa $rh A"0jj P' J few raw Tri BEAUTY Next Sunday all OTer the Christian world the clad Eister carols will be suurj. Learned men, with silvery eloquent tongues, will tell to many conpreffations of the joy ous resurrection, symbolic of the creation o new thine, and if the rain doesn't prevent the wholesale appearance of new suits and gowns and bonueta that hare been purchased for the day there will be thoughts dissemi nated other than those about the crost. Easter would hardly be Easter without a new gown, and the suggestion of resurrect ing a last year's costume would be received verv frigidly bv the majority of woman bind, and would only be made by some stern husband or fatber whose sordid ideas mleht prompt it. Thus the day commemora tlre of the resurrection of the buried is in reality the occasion of the advent of the new And the passing of the old. And really, if good fortune would attend for another year, some thing new must he worn at least so &avs an ancient and bunnraDlo superstition. So, it the weather forbids thesown and bonnet, bow the Vi ee to another hit or folk-faith, anciently Enclish in its origin, and wear a useful trifle after which is named the highest order of kuigbtbood at the conrt of B . James. If the colur be yellow the mascot charm accirded the Iiitle affair can defy anvtbing but la grippe. La griune is rather an expert at defying and doesu' take a back feat for an thing. .Medi cine, nur&ing, maledictions and prater-, .ire alike heaped unavailinglr upon this unrelent ing plague winch relea-e its hold upon its victims whenever it become weary of them and has enjo3ed their ropery to its heart's con tent. It has most ot the town in its clutches jn-t at present and a social gathering for which cards were oat for last Friday consisted principally of regrets, much to the relief of the ouug hostes, vliose eyes were like snme of Jay Gould's railroad stock and whose nasal organ required all tbo attention she Mas capable of gitmgit, to the exclusion of an jut else. The Community on w noels. The several spnrg days of the past week ha e simply been forerunners of u hat's to fol low in the way of rag men, peddlars and mov ing wagons.

While, in some ways, the moving season is one of discontent, m others it is ne of great happi ness. The possibilities ol a new home, and the arrangement oi furniture and decorations wnhiu it, are inspiring as well as fatiguing.

Think of ill The Proper Easter Offering. It you have a 6w eethcart you mustn't 6end her a basket ot flowers on Easter, but a ham per ot f res'i vegetables. They cost ten times what the flowers do.for there mw be at least a j quart of strawberries, each berry coaling about half a dollar. These early vegetables come trom Honda or the Bermudts. and are the most exauisite tnmgs you ever tested. Green pfeas. greoa corn, ripe tomatoes, straw berries, asparagus, radishes and so forth must be included in your offering. Only $25 for a good-sued hamper! Kathleen- Husslt-Watsox. K0UES OF PLEASUEK.

HOW TO OtTAED AGAINST THE DISEASE. Croup is the terror of young mothers, es pecially during the winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concern ing the cause, first symptoms, treatment and bow to prevent it, is tbe object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold; children are subject to ttking cold very eas ily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom ot croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized and once hexrd always remembered. Usually a day or two before the attack, the child be comes hoarse and gradually shows symp toms of having taken cold, and this is where the mistake is usually made. The mother, thinking her child has just taken cold, gives it no especial atfntinn until, awakened in the night by the vio lent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup and remembers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in tbe house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physician or drug store. You can well imagine the situation and her dis tress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse or shows symptoms of hav ing taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given from that time on, ali tendency to croup will disipper and all d inger be ..voided. Tne remedy prevents .Uily 10,000 cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers through out the Western States and Territories; tbey have learned its value and how to use it, and in tbose f unities croup is seldom kuown because it is always prevented.

Members of the committee are ur gently requested to be present. One of tbe Important matters to be consid ered js that of Grand Army dar this year. If tbe glorious day of last year at Rock Point Is to be repeated, tbe grounds will have to be se cured early. If tbe celebration is to be held any w here else tbe same applies. It is the opin ion of a great number of comrades that some earlier day sbocld be fixed than last year iu or der to avoid changeable weather. A date and place Hill bo considered at the meeting next Saturday. Another important matter to be considered is tbe department encampment to be held here next year.

He was severely wounded at tbe battle of Williamsburg. About a year ago Comrade Burroughs' wife died, and he never rallied from the shock. He has been steadily failing ever since. He was 79 years of age. An interesting feature of Comrade Bur roughs' connection with Post 41 is worth men tioning. He was a member of the olor guard of bis regiment, and s.ved ibe colors from capture by the enemy in a sharp engagement. He brought tbe colors home and presented tbem to Post 41 upon its formation. Since then he has been accorded tbe honor or bearing tbe colors on all paraue occasions. He was laid to rest witb Grand Army honors on Wednesday. Complete Map of a Regiment's Route.

The presence of Mr. G. M. Connell, the autbor of the "Fallot Atlanta," was entirely unexpected to tbe ladles, as tbey have been in the habitof meeting once a month at the differ ent homes of the members of the circle, aud thus the husbands have been left out. Mr. Sherriff. thinking it a good joke on bis wife, came home early and brought bis guest, but that did not prevent tbe hostess from making each visitor feel perfectly "at home."

A MEMBER of Encampment No. 1 thinks tbe encampment should make an ctfort to bavo more portraits of prominent Union Generals linnir un in tbeir hall, as itaddsmncnto tho attractiveness of the assembly room, besides reviving tbe memories or many a battle and war incident. Groups ot old soldiers now stand and look at tbe battle scene of Gettysburg (from the Cyclorauia) and point out and dis cuss tbo different location) of tbe regiments and the part tbey took in tbat never to bo for gotten battle. Let ns havo more portraits and battle scenes, comrades, is the cry. Encampment No. 1 received the following from General Sherman's family in New York: "The family of General Sherman, receiving with profound gratitude the expression of sym pathy of tho members of Encampment No. I in tbeir bereavement, desire to express their warm appreciation thereof, and to say tbat their tribute to the memory of their father will ever be cherished with affectionate remem brance.

Jordan, Tbe man milliner, invites you to his Easter opening of imported bats and bonnet', Tues day to Tnursday, March 21 to 26, 705 Penn avenue, Pittsburg. One of the most familiar names to-day in all polite and cultnred circles in Pittsburg and Allegheny is that of Charles Stanley Reinhart. He oconpies in tbe esteem ol tbe people the distinguished position of one of Pittsburg's sons who, by the brilliancy of his personal achievements, has reflected honor and distinction upon his native city. In the fields of science and art others have labored to the end that this eity has not been without honor and credit abroad; none have exerted a wider influence or cast a more radiant light upon the community. In all the world Pittsburg is known more for its Beinharts and Langleys than for its tonnage, and it will ever be thai its highest credit will arise lrom the achievements of mind rather than for the product of labor. It is nzbt, therefore, that tne people uo honor to this distinguished Pittsburger. who comes this week as a guest or honor. It was fittiug also, tbat tbe time-honored Art So ciety, standing as It does in tbe front of the 'aesthetic movement, should tender on behalf of Pittsburg a reception to Mr. Reinhart in recognition of his artistic triumphs. It wu the original purpose of the society to hold this reception in the Academy of Science and Art building, but this plan was abandoned because It was found that Mr. Relnhart's large salon medal picture, "Washed Ashore," could not be hung in the Academy building parlor. Tbe re ception will, therefore, be held on Thursday evening In tbe Carnegie Art Galleries, which have bean kindly given for tbe occasion by tbe city or Allegheny. Society and art people of the two cities bave tor some months looked forward to this event as one of unusual social Importance, and It Is certain that the beautiful galleries will be crowded Thursday night witb a brilliant and distinguished assembly. In addi tion to Mr. Relnhart's important large painting "Washed Ashore," there will be bung upon the walls many of bis most Important works in black and white. Among these will be bis famous crayon drawings depicting tbe German Relcli'tag. These drawings alone are sufficient to establish an .artist's fame. Tbey attracted wide attention throughout Europe and America at the time of their publication, and fur pow erful delineation of character bave probably never been excelled. They art remarkable representations of what can be done witb lines, and in absolute force and artistic strength must be masterly. No artist In America has done work In recent years to be compared with these forceful drawing unless it be Rnaud, ti French Illustrator, who visited tuis country a few yeats ago. Among tbe charming draw ings of a different charaoter and teebmcara those illustrating Women's Pilgrimage. In these the dainty but certain touch wblcb best renders tbe grace and beauty of the feminine form is everywhere manifest. Tbrougbout Mr. Relnhart's work, however, whether it be expressive of force or delicacy, there is apparent the everlasting qualitv jf truth. Absolute fidelity is bis pronounced characteristic Fashions in art may eome and go; peculiar technical methods and limited conceptions of grace and beauty may live and die. but the works based upon simple truth pos-essesa variety and vitality which is inesti mable. Such is tbe character of tbe produc tions of Jir. Reinhart. In delineation of char acter he is one of the ablest men ever produced In America, and his works have, by tbe aid of the printing press, delighted and cultivated tbe hearts of millions of people. As to the per sonality of the coming guest little need be said. He is too well known to need lntrodncion. Tbe opinion of so prominent an art journal as Ths Collector is not without interest, however, aud tbefoIlowing is from tbat paper: ".Mr. rteimiart is a native or Plttsnnrg. ao began active life in a clerical or employe capacity of some kind, and gravitated to tbe art as that other great Pennsylvanian, who created real art In Illustration in America, Felix O. C. Darley, did years before biro, from an office desk. A manly and self-reliant nature, a great talent, and a temperament calculated to make tbeswholi world bis friend, constituted his capital. Upon this and little more be went to Europe to Item to be a painter. He did learn, for bis work during a couple of years at Munich was of tbe best. He came borne to make more money to con tinue bis studies upon, and be went into the service of tbe Harpers to make It. "It would be unjust of me to stigmatize news paper illustration as be fonnd it Men of abundant talent performed it cleverly but crudely. It was their misfortune tbat their technical education was no better. Into tbe ranks ofthese day laborers of art Mr. Rein hart came as a splendid revelation. He knew how to draw, as well as how to sketch. He bad already learned tostudv human character, as well as mere human form. While Mr. Abbey was learning to draw on the block in a wood engraver's office in Philadelphia, Mr. Reinhart was teaching us. in snite of clumsy engravers and botch printers, that something really artis tic could be done in the embelllsbmen s of printed periodicals. He never forgot his art. even in bis day's work. He was tbe first draughtsman in this country (o use tbe model for bis figure. With his dream of an artistic future before bim, he toiled day by day at his desk, as a galley slave tugs at bis oar, and his bappy nature Kept mm auove nimseu. "At that period photography on wood bad not been perfected. Ibe superficial sketches on paper, wblcb now furnlst tbe engraver with tbe foundation for his work, were impossible. All drawings had to be made on the boxwood block itself, every detail defined, and then a great deal was certain to bo lost by the en graver. Mr. Reinlmrt began his work at Harpers' in the old style, with pencil outlines washed in ith India Ink. and hatched over with pencil. 1 hen be Introduced tbo use of tho pen Instead of the pencil. It made a surer and a sharper line, and produced an appreciable Improvement in the engraver's work- Next he took to making drawings entirely on tbe bloek witb tbe pen, and these were engraved, as far as the wooupecser s gut- went, in lacsimne. Withiu two years he revolutionized the sjstem of drawing un wood, as we had known it, and laid the foundation for that masterly engrav ing of which we may well be proud, bv furnish ing it with a corner stone to rest upon." After the reception in honor or Mr. Reinhart, the Carnegie art galleries will bo opened to the public, the Reinhart collection of works con stituting an art loan exhibition. It is probable tbat this exhibition will continue one week or ten days in order tbat all art lovers may enjoy the pleasure of stndt Ing tbe pictures displayed. Tbe Relnbart collection is an important one, and attracted universal attention in New York, where it wai exhibited. It possesses especial interest to Pittsburg and Allegheny people, not only because of its size and artistic import ance, but becai se tbe works presented repre sent the artistic labors of an artist of world wide fame whose birthplace is In ibis city. Mr. Frederick Keppel is earning quite a rep utation as a delightful lecturer. It will be re membered that he delivered a remarkably in teresting and instructive lecture on etching and etcher-before tbe Pittsburg Art Society about one year ago. All who heard this talk, which sparkled with delicions hits ol humor, were delighted. Recently Mr. Keppel deliv ered a new lecture before the Grolier Club in New York. Tills new talk, as Mr. Keppel would doubtless define It, can only be compared to a string of gems. They scintillate nil along the line with flashes of keen wit ard wisdom, but tho bright gems bangahoat a -ubMantial oulk of informa ion touching etchers and their etching0. Speaking of tbe only and great Whistler, be says: "There never has been a m in like Whistler before, and I do not see bow there ever can be again. He has long been m" dita ing a visit to his native country. When ever he come, may we all be there to seel" There Is on exhibition at Wunderlicb's gal lery. New York, a collection comprising 43 pastel and nil paintings, by J. H. Twachtman. The studio of Mr. George Uerzel bat been closed for a week or more, owing to the illness of tbe veteran painter. Mr. V. B. Walkley exhibits at Boyd's a care fully painted picture of a caobage garden with figure. Mr. H. S. Stevenson, whose studio was ruined by the fire on Wood street, has seenred a room at tbe corner of Wood and Sixth avenue,wbere he will proceed to establish his studio. The Knoedler collection of paintings arrived In tbe city yesterday and Is being placed upon the walls in tbe Gillespie Gallery. Among tbe pictures are notable works by Manne, Geromc, Rico, Bridgeman, Knight, Robet, and others. Didn't Mean to Pass Bad Money. There was a hearing yesterday before Commissioner McCandless in the case of Frank Murea and Fred Lentz, who were ar rested ot tbe Academy o. Music Thursday night for trying to pass a counterfeit dollar. Tbe testimony showed that Murea had zot- ten the bad dollar some place in change for J NEW ADYEBTIBEStENTa.
