SCENES AND INCIDENT OP THE WORE
Few people have any idea of the execu
tive ability required to place a show of such
magnitude ais Barnum's on the road, or
carry it from town to town, and exhibit
with a precision as to time and detail
which many a General in the field might
envy.
Yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, the first
section of the equipment train of Barnum's
show, which will exhibit in Allegheny, con
sisting of the baggage and horse cars, and
three coaches ot the working people and
those of the cuisine, was hauled in, and the
1 work of disembarkation begun. To accom
plish this is in the department of the Master
of Transportation, whose duty it is to see to
the unloading and loading of the entire
equipment, and take general charge of the
rolling stock.
The horses are gotten out, yoked in their
respective wagons, now loaded with divers
freight, and they move forward to the
ground, already occupied by the man in
charge of the tents, and his cohort of 120
assistants, to whom the material is delivered,
and the erection of thetents begun. Simul
taneously with the arrival of the foremost
wagons, enter on the scene the chiefs of the
culinary department, who straightway erect
their gipsy like cooking apparatus and
have breakfast prepared for the energetic
workers in very short order.
THE AXIMAXS COME UEXT.
JText in order appear the superintendent
of animals with his charges, the trainer in
charge of the elephants, with his 13 assist
ants, another man in care of the properties
and his 16 men, and in an incredibly short
time the whole of the vast showis assembled,
tents erected and everything ship-shape and
in apple-pie order.
"When a representative of this paper vis
ited those Gardens of Elysium in Alle
gheny on which the nameot Exposition Park
has been bestowed, it was to find the exten
sive area taken possession of by strangers,
huge tents erected on the ground, and peo
ple not of local reputation passing through
and Iro. Passing within the barriers, the
old wooden pavilion, formerly used as a
restaurant, vas seen to have undergone a
transformation. Scores of waiters were
bustling about preparing the long rows of
tables .or the middav meal. Outside, in a
wagon, were the cooking ranges in full
swing, and at a table nearby was a confec
tioner, in white cap and apron, operating on
chicken putties. This department is con
tracted lor by Mr. Bobbins, and it is a
feature of the management that the meals
are as good as could be wished. The cater
ing, though independent of the show, is still
dependent on it Mr. Bobbins provides all
needful help, as for instance a corps of 55
waiters, half a dozen cooks, etc., and the
meals are charged for at a uniform price of
23 cents to everyone, which he is paid by
the management "every day on presentation
ot the coupons. The contractor has alwavs
a man in advance to arrange for the provis
ioning, and some idea of the amount re
quired to feed the host of cirens people
when it is stated that ot meat alone 1,300
pounds are consumed daily.
THE CLAXG OF HAMMERS.
In the big top or circus tent preparation
was being made for to-day. On one hand
were gangs of men slinging heavy hammers
with a rat, tat, tat, tat, which quickly sent
the long pegs to the level of the ground, and
V on the other cheery workers were pntting
7 up the seating accommodation. In the
center a ploughman and his team were
turning up the clay for the formation of one
of the rings, and with sailor-like agility, at
the top of the poles, were painters engaged in
pntting on Iresh paint, indicating that not
even the smallest details were overlooked in
the production of the show.
Next in order came the "Illusion Tent,"
of black canvas, where a wooden platform
had already been put down, and the dark
hoodooic looking cabinets placed in
position. The young elephant, "Mary"
reared in Africa and trained in Germany,
who does some wonderful tricks with a
velocipede, was swaying her small body
from side to fide, and no doubt ruminating
on the mutability of human affairs, which
made her a queen of the lorcst in her in
fancy, and in her budding woman
hood a thing of sport and pastime.
In a corner were some 20 Algerians
arrayed in the unassuming raiment of
their country, with ashawashee, or head
covering, bernous, pantaloons, bontines and
clintures. A very quiet and self-contained
lot of people these, who, though now
performing for the edification of the mul
titude, were, and for that matter are still,
many of them, sheiks in their own country.
Deeply resentful are they of the manner in
which they have been gnyed while on their
travels, and it speaks well for their self-control
that they do not retaliate in the man
ner, as a chief informed the writer, he would
in Algeria, by using the knife.
CAN'T TALK UNITED STATES.
Though borne of them have been for over
a year in America they have not succeeded
in acquiring United States, and are able to
converse only in French, in which they are
all proficient, and in Arabic All of these
men are devert Arabs, and own Constantina,
in Algeria, as their dwelling place.
Passing over to the horse tent, wherein
315 equines found first-class entertainment
a glimpse of li'e, as passed with the en
campment, was seen. Here was a man, at
once jockey and barber, officiating at 10
cents per shave, which he mostly never re
ceived, he declared, and whose sign was ex
hibited on a piece of paper stuck into his
hat, and bearing the legend, "Pay to-day;
trust to-morrpw." Another was writing
perhaps, to his best girl, a small board do
ing duty as a desk, and a pile of hay a
chair and lounge combined, and sundrv
otfiers were passing tne time with cheap
literature or papers. These had gotten
through their work, for others were still en
gaged in watering and feeding horses and
cleaning up the harness.
Over in the dressing tent the propertv
man was met with. He pointed out how
each performer's box was arranged always
in the same order, so that the moment a man
or lady entered their respective quarters
they knew at once where to una their par
ticular trunk. Here also a barber was offi
ciating. None of the pertoriners were
visible, as they are quartered in hotels. The
men retire to the can. at night to sleep, leav
ing some dozen of their number on duty as
watchmen.
Mr. E. Hamilton, the courteous press
agent of the combination, explained the
different features of the show to the repre
sentatives of the press, and afterward intro
duced tbem to the interior of the supply de
partment, where an agreeable halt hour was
passed in discussing news and exchanging
stories.

RAILROAD MEN IK TOWN.
S. ib O. Official on Their Annnnl Inspection
The Improved Financial Condition of
the 8ytrm.
The party of general officers and directors
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who
are making an inspection of the 1,800 miles
of line in that system, arrived on their
special train, over the Pittsburg division, at
6:10 o'clock Saturday evening. They regis
tered at the Moaongahela house. The party
consists of the followibg gentlemen:
Charles F. Mayer. President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad; First Vice President
Orland Smith, Vice President Thomas M.
King. General Manager L T. Odell and James
Sloan, of Baltimore; George de -B. Keim, ot
Philadelphia, one ot the receivers and former
President ot the Reading Railroad: 1. B. Mc
Donald and L Pennington, of Baltimore;
Edward R. Bacon, of New York, and three
secretaries. William Anderson. J. F. Broderick
and G. M. Schriver.
The party left Baltimore on Thursday, and
this evening they will depart lor Wheeling
and Chicago. On Saturday evening all the
gentlemen of the party, except President
Mayer, visited the Exposition. Mr. Mayer
remained in his room. General-Manager
Odell said that business over the road was
very brisk and considerably ahead of that
done during the corresponding period in
188S. He and other members of the party
expressed themselves as well pleased with
the Exposition.
In conversation with friends whom he
met in this city, President Mayer expressed
gratification at the financial and propertv
condition of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
road. It is believed that the gross earnings
for the current month will reach $2,000,000
and the net earnings $500,000. "When all
the accounts have been adjusted the net
earnings lor all the lines during August,
1889, will probably exceed by $200,000 the
net earnings for August, 18SS.
A large share of the increased traffic is
attributed to the opening or the line lrom
Philadelphia to New York. Travelers
from the West who formerly went to New
York by other lines, now travel by the
Baltimore and Ohio, which gives them an
opportunity to stop over in Washington.
The revenue of the Philadelphia division
for August shows an increase in net earn
ings of $11,700 over the net earnings tor
August, 1888, which was the best month
for that year.
Sunday afternoon nearly all of the party
were enteitained at the Duquesne Club.
Some of tbem enjoyed a carriage drive
about the city. The length of their stay in
this city gave rise to the opinion that they
contemp'ated some changes here. Vice
President King said that the object of the
stay was simply to look over the property
here. A number of the officials had not
seen the new depot, Mr. King said:
"The large increase in the business done
is due principally to the fact that there is
much more business being done generally
in the country. All lines have an increased
traffic. Our increase is not owing to the
opening of the New York line exclusively.
All divisions of our road show an improve
ment The net earnings for August, 1889,
were $862,000."
AN OLD DODGE,
Bat It Worked Successfully, and miller Got
the Plunder.
John Schroedel, who keeps a boarding
bouse at 398 Thirty-third street, yesterday
reported to the police that on last Thursday
he had been robbed. On Thursday morning
a man who gave his name as Miller called
at Schroedel's house, and engaged boarding
and a room. He was shown a room which
he said pleased him, and he asked permis
sion to occupy it for a few moments to
change his clothing.
Mrs. Schroedel granted the request, but
that was the last she saw of Miller, he hav
ing entered the room of another boarder,
who was in bed asleep, and robbed him of
a silver watch and chain and SI 65 in
money. Miller also captured Schroedel's
umbrella. From the description given he
is evidently the same man that robbed sev
eral Allegheny houses in a similar manner
last Friday.
CO-OPERATIVE PIANOS.
How a Fine Piano Cnu be Placed In Every
Home.
Offers the following inducements, if you
wish to pay cash: By becoming a member
you will save $75 in the price of the piano,
and get it at once. If you cannot spare the
cash you can get your piano any time, on
payment ol 525 cash and $2 50 per week,
no interest, and still save 575 in the price.
If you cannot pay so fast, by waiting
until your number is drawn you will get
your piano on payments of $1 per week, no
interest, and save S75 in the regular price
to our retail trade. Think of this! Our
club is composed of 350 members, each
paying $1 per week. Thus you see the
members are buying for cash, and one piano
is delivered to "the member whose number
is drawn each week, untH all are supplied,
or, if one-half of the members take their
pianos and pay $2 50 per week, we deliver
twice the number, and get double the
amount of caBh each week, and it leaves
only one-half the number to be drawn on the
$1 weekly payments. It is a simple business
problem. We are saving our members the
difference in price by contracting for 350
pianos at one time, and on a cash basis. We
have now enough members to guarantee the
success of this plan, and have decided to
begin delivering the pianos on Saturday,
September 21. Do not wait, but apply for
membership at once. Call and see the
piano, or send for circular.

A LAND OF ARTISTS.
A. Bryan Wall, Fresh From Europe,
Talks Abont Foreign Painters.
MAGNIFICENT STUDIOS THE KULE.
How the American Enight Lives audYorks
on the Continent.
THE PICTURES AT THE EXPOSITION
A. Bryan Wall, the distinguished Pitts
burg artist, has just returned home after a
prolonged tour ot European countries. His
visits to the various capitals were for the
purpose of inspecting the works of art of
ancient, medi&val and modern painters.
He speaks in glowing terms of the grand
galleries, noble in architecture and nobler
in the gems they contain. To describe
them, he says, defies speech. In the many
places he visited he was able to see all the
styles of painting executed in every decade
ot modern civilization. While absent he
was privileged to meet and converse with
some of the most celebrated French painters
in their studios. In an interview with a
Dispatch reporter last night he said:
"I called on a painter who now makes
his home in Paris but is an American by
birth, D. Bidgeway Knight, a man of whom
we feel proud. His house is five miles out
of Paris, at Poissy, and adjoins the home of
Mcissonier, one of the greatest living
painters. The domain is inclosed by a high
wall. As you enter a grand scene of ex
quisite landscape gardening unfolds itself
before your eye. No matter which way the
eye turns, a thrill of delight runs through
one at the variety of the beautiful arranged
artificial scenery.
KNIGHT'S GLASS STUDIO.
"At right angles with the house, Knight
has built an elegant glass studio. Its ap
pointments are quite lavish. The floor is
covered with the finest carpets, the tables
are loaded with choice china, the shelves
full of bric-a-brac which he has picked up,
first making sketches of them, afterward
using them for the adornment of his studio.
Behind the mansion is an old French court
yard, which was a necessary part of the old
nobleman's castle. Inside the house, which
is a marvel of luxurious furniture, Knight
has a studio on the third floor, which is
similar in its arrangement to the outside
one. From the windows a stretch of scenery
unrivaled in the vicinity of Paris is pre
sented to the view. The blue Seine flows
beneath in its winding course to the sea.
"Madrazo is a French painter I met He
lives in the heart of Paris. His salon is a
very grand one, from the hall magnificently
painted, to the studio, situated at the top of
the house. This studio is one floor through
the length and breadth of the house, roofed
over by glass. Here you will see old armor,
costly drapery, antique furniture and
Gobelin tapestry. A peculiarity of the
studio is that no two pieces ot furniture
match. Hanging on the wall is a picture
painted by Fourtney, a brotber-in-law of
Madrazo, called 'Soldiers on Parade,' which
is highly prized by the owner.
PAINTING A QUEEN'S FACE.
"Upon the easel, the painter hada portrait
of the Queen ot Spain, which was almost
finished. Madrazo has a number of pupils,
their studio being on the second floor. The
private studio ol this artist is, like himself,
elegant and refined. Madrazo is very neat.
His clothes are as artistic as his paintings.
"After visiting Madrazo I went to see
Henner, a very clever portrait painter.
Before you can get into his studio you
are obliged to go through a back entrance
into a kitchen, 'where you invariably meet
a decrepit old woman, and then you pass
through a narrow passage which terminates
in a handsome octagonal studio. The fur
niture and collections in the studio are odd,
but they are arranged with such evident
taste and skill as to make it one of the most
prized in Paris. Henner is a strange man,
a bachelor, whose ltfe is absorbed in his
work. Pelouse, another artist I saw, has a
suite of square rooms at the tip of his house
roofed by glass, and crowded with costly
gems, porcelain and drapery, odd chairs
and china. In every studio I visited the
character of the man was ascertained by
the arrangement of his studio.
"The art collection in the Paris Exposi
tion is the finest of modern paintings that
has ever been gathered under one roof. The
loner part of the gallery contains the best
pictures that have been exhibited in the
salon for the last five year. All the prize
pictures are there and rival one another for
first place. Indeed, it would be invidious
to single them out. Someof them, however,
are worth special mention. The upper part
of the gallery contains the works of dead
artists.
DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS.
"The space is cut into compartments, each
containing the complete works of an artist.
Compartments are devoted to the works of
Corot, D'Aubigny, Millet, Bousseau.Trayon,
Diaz, Mauve and Breton. Tn the corridors
Bastien Le Page, a French peasant, exhibits
a remarkable picture of his grandfather.
The flesh color is perfect, the general
tone excellent, the texture fine and the
character brought out in the face is truly
wondertul. Quite handy to this picture is a
fine cabunel, a reposing female figure, which
is unequaled in this special branch of art.
xieieure eiiuuus an ui ma uesi leniaie ng-
ures. Muukacsy's 'Crucifixion' and 'Christ
before Pilate' hang side by side.
"There has been some disappointment
felt over the American collection. I think
this is wrong. Our artists show up well.
C. S. Keinhart, a Pittsburger, exhibits a
splendid picture called 'Un Pave.' The
subject is washed ashore. A man is lying
on the beach dead, and another is
kneeling beside him. At the left
stand a group around a French
officer, telling him the circumstances of
the wreck, while he takes notes. This is
one of the best of our collection, another
picture of his, also a water subject, called
LeMaree Montante.' Dan B. Knight's
exhibits, 'Calling the Fairy,' Charles S.
Pearce's 'Misty Morning Sheep,' H. Bolton
Jones' 'Autumn,' W. Jones' two small
pictures of Brooklyn Park, Dannot's 'Ser
enade,' and the original sketches by Abbey,
arc the best in the American collection."
Mr. Walt finds that young European
artists are straining to secure odd subjects
and make large pictures for the purpose of
attracting attention and securing quick
sales for their work.

Tho Ceremony Fci formed Ovor the New
Somlnldo Polish Clinrch It Will Cost

The corner stone of the new Saint Adel
bert's Polish Catholic church at the head of
South Fifteenth street, was laid at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by Bishop Phelanin
the presence of 5,000 people. Preceding
the laying of the corner stone was a parade
of all the Polish societies in the two cities.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the procession of
priests which included Bishop Phelan,
Fathers Bernard Wall, Bernardine, Gal
lagher, Strub, Christopher, Wenderlin,
Duffner, Deasy. Schramm, Jawrski, Dom
browski, Miske'wicz and Edmund, preceded
by a dozen altar boys, marched from the old
church, which is just across the street, and
the ceremony preceding the laying of the
corner stone was performed. The ceremony
consisted of the procession of priests passing
around the foundation walls singing a chant
while the Bishop blessed the foundation by
sprinkling it with holy water. After this
the corner stone was placed in position and
lowered to its resting place. The box which
was placed in the stone contained a copy of
each ot the dailv papers, the records of the
church, the names of the clergy participat
ing in the ceremonies and some of the dif
ferent national coin.
After the ceremony Bishop Phelan
preached an instructive sermon. He was
followed by Father Emanuel and Father
Dombrowski, rector of the Polish Seminary
of Michigan.
The new structure will be of Bomanesque
style of architecture. There will be two
spires, each 165 feet in height. The church
will seat 1,800 people, and when finished
will cost about 545,000. The pastor of the
church is Bev. Miskewicz.
