LUXURY AND COMFORT SUBSERVED
A Grand Dining Boom and a Dream of a
Ballroom.
GOEGEOUS HANGINGS AND FUfiNITORE
t
An Eyeless Bden, Tnat is snrcly what the
sew Dnquesne Club house on Sixth avenue is
ana will be.
The house and furnishings are nownearlnc
completion, and the most exquisite taste and
sonnd judgment have been exercised in the
construction of the house and the furnishings.
In the selection of the site upon which the
magnificent building stands wonderful fore
thought was shown. As every one knows it is
directly opposite majestic, solemn old Trinity
Church, and in this particular u the wonderful
forethought made prominently conspicuous,
for the tall, white monuments surrounding Old
Trinity and marking the resting places of de
parted spirits, will serve as an antidote to the
members who have enjoyed connrial spirits (it
would be impolite to insinuate that an enjoy
ment of any other species of spirits would be
tolerated in the new domain) to a Brobdig
tiagian degree of heart. Natural politeness
forbids any reference to a Brobdignagian de
cree of heads.
THEY ABE OLD AND STAID.
The Duqnesne Club, which is the oldest In
Pittsburg, IS composed of the older, staider
more substantial business men of the city, ana
the club building was built by a company
formed from the members ot the club, who ad
Tanced the necessary money and took bonds se
cured by a mortgage on the building. The en
tire cost, including the tarnishing, will be ap
proximately $3X1.000.
The exterior of the handsome building may
be seen at any time and a description of its
beauties would be useless, but the interior
the reporter who viewed its luxuriousness yes
terday afternoon, without permission, W3S suf
fering at 10 o'clock last evening from a lack of
breath, said breath being taken away both by
the gorgeousness of the apartments and the
severe rebuke administered by Colonel Cham
bers McKibben, the genial, jovial, much-liked
Treasurer of the club.
However, the notes had all been taken in a
i, thoroughly innocent, not-intending-any-harm
f sort of a way before Colonel McKibben came
. upon the scene.
DONE IS MASSIVE OAK.
As one enters the main hall, with its paneled
walls of dark oak and heavily beamed ceiling,
the eye is at once attracted by the massive oak
furniture, of which the great chair of the
porter is the bright particular star. It is a
most excellent example ol the period of Louis
le Grand with its broad seat and splendidly
carved back, eight feet in height, all solid oak,
except a panel in the back for the head to rest
against, which is rilled with gilded leather
bearing the Bourbon lilies in relief.
After a strncgle one recalls the fancy from
i- the days of Louis and De liaintenon to the
, present and then enters through the portieres
of Morris plush into the reception room, which
occupies the front of the building to the left ot
1 the entrance.
The woodwork here,as throughout the bouse,
is of oak, paneled, wainscoting and ceilng, the
5s panels of which are treated in gobelin blue
with ornaments in russet, red and gold, all very
soft and resembling in effect a piece of
tapestry. The walls are covered with buck
ram, treated in old red with an Angelo-Arabian
diaper pattern in lacquered cold.
' THE GENEBAIi APPOINTMENTS.
The draperies are of the Morris plush similar
to the portieres. The furniture is upholstered
in old red and olive leather; the frame work
of light oak. The carpet is a lovely Wilton,
old red, and the effect of the entire rooms is
rich and luxurious.
Adjoining the reception room in the rear is
the office ot the club, with desks for clerks and
Secretary, and a big safe for the security of
"the inspiration bills of the boys." The general
tone of color is soft yellow, indicative of the
golden coins that, in company with the "in
spiration bills," will pay for many a large, ex
pensive lime, as Bill Nye would say.
- Next is the dirpctors' room, coziiy furnished
and decorated in Japanese leather.
GASXEOKOMICAL.
ttrThe magnificent restaurant is next entered,
with seats for 80 people. It is in all respects a
splendid room; 90 by 85 feet irthe officially
stated size, and 15 feet from floor to ceiling. It
.has 30 beautifully decorated panels, and is
lighted by 20 lovely windows of leaded glass,
whose light is softened by draperies of rose-red
satin damask. Buckram forms the walls in
this room, as it aoes in all the principal rooni
and it is covered with a lovely design in soft
olive on a ground of cream blushed with red.
The wainscoting is high and olj ivory white
making a charming background for the beautl-
f fully designed furniture of mahogany.
Returning to the hall the visitor passes up
the broad stairs which are covered with a
handsome carpet in red and blue, verv dark
shades, extending from the foot of the stairs on
the first floor to the top floor, and dovenng the
floors of the balls successively. The walls of
the upper halls are a deep rich red to corre
spond with the carpet, and the stairs and rail
ings are aii Deauiuuiiy poiisnea light oak.
THE EXQUISITE BLLLIAED BOOM.
On the second floor to the left is the delight
of all club men's hearts, the billiard room, with
walls of bine and silver, buff ceilings and wilton
carpet carrying the colors of the decorations.
,. t The chairs are particularly admirable in their
design, which is Elizabethan, old oak and
brown leather handsomely studded with
ancient brass nails. The atmosphere
fof the room even in its unfinished state witaout
the magnificent table that will simply cap the
climax, is suggestive of such a deligbtf uiness,
stay-out-all-night-fulness, it will be dreadfully
dangerous when entirely complete and pec
s' pled with the choice exotics of club life. Cross
ing me nail ine visitor enters a suite or three
, private dining rooms, where there is already
an odor of myrrn and a hint of Eurico clay
( and spice and everything nice that the epicur-
ians will enjoy to the detriment often of their
gastronomical organs.
The ceilings are ivory and cream, with
Buruu) pins waiis. Dinisn trreen carpet and
draperies of soft, red material.
A QUICK DIGRESSION.
To the rear is-the club sideboard. Let us
return quickly to the ball and enter the great
colonial ballroom, 90xSj,and 28 feet in height,
trith balcony for musicians and gallery for
spectators. The woodwork is ivory white, ceil
inelvory and yellow with ornamented beams.
The frieze of this room is a splendid piece of
mural designing, made expressly for the par
ticular room, as are all the fnezesnsed In the
..respective rooms. Ivory white and colonial
jellow are the colors used in all the
decorations in tne room, where beauty will
reign for years and years to come, and a nttinc
environment it will be for the social world's
favorites. In the rear of the ballroom are two
private dining rooms which will be used for
dressing rooms when occasion demands.
Decending the private stairs, which are to be
4nsed when assemblies are held so as not to sub
jeer the more imposing ones of the clubhouse
""" proper to the crush and wear and tear inci-
dental to alaige gathering, at the foot we find
a wide corridor leading to the street entrance.
TOE THE FAIE SEX.
Kntering another door to the left the visitor
finds the gem of the whole house, the .only
apartment where the fair sex are permitted in
-the building, except on state occasions, and it
Is the ladies' restaurant.
The walls are of Tynecastle tapestry, an im
ported material. The colors are ivory and
gold, with bouquets and sprays of foliage in
soft solors. The whole design is Louis Liege,
and highly artistic throughout.
The ceiling is in panels of green and gold;
there's a blue carpet and draperies of yellow
brocaded damask. The furniture is of white
mahogany in the most distractingly pretty de-
eji;ii. in huio iuum wu iauies may revel in

Kitchen, abounding in all the modern conveni
ences, savory dishes that would tempt the gods
will no doubt be concocted. As to jnst when

tion is not known, but not manyjnoons will
wane before tho house warming will make a
full column of work for the society reporter.

PEDRO WAS NOT.S0DHD.
So Tbonekl the AJTecironnto Brazilian Peo
pie In Porcine Republic
New York, December 16. One page and a
half of this morning's Timet are devoted to a
stirring letter from Rio Janeiro, in nearly a
score of chapters, the essence of which is, that
Doin Pedro was known to be of weak or un
sound mind; that his corrupt and unpopular
Ministers had paved the way for a Republic;
that he would soon have abdicated in favor of
his unpopular daughter, and that the Republic
naatocome. xne Jimcrsays:
Dom Tedro, Segundo, had the entire respect of
the Brazilian people, and, so lone as his mental
powers remained unimpaired, their confidence as
n ruler. Bnt there was vell-nlgh universal dis
like and distrust of his daughter. Princess Isa
bella, the legitimate heir to tbe throne. Her hus
band, count a'Eu, a Bourbon, was equally dis
liked and distrusted, bheis a religious bigot, a
fanatical Koman Catholic; .he a lorelener, and
believed to be an avaricious schemer.
.Nominally Catholics, alleaucated Brazilians are
rree thinkers. The hierarchy ot .Brazil is without
intellect, and without exasperation may be de
scribed as characterless. It has been found im
possible to recruit the priesthood from the better
class, and. -with few exceptions, the priests are
ignorant and generally dissolute. Free .Masonry
is widespread in Brazil, and the church made Is
sue with the order by refusing burial In conse
crated ground toadlstlnirulshed man, a member
bf it. and to allow masses to be said for his soul.
Upon the return of the Emperor from Europe
h Is real condition soon became generally known.
He was afflicted with softening of the brain, and
general paresis was Inevitable within a brief
period. He was vaguely aware of the Impending
catastrophe, and, with weakened faculties, con
ceived the notion that tbe church would be at
once the bulwark and the means of perpetuating
his dynasty in Brazil. Supposed to be, and be
lieving hlmselfthat he was, dying, when so ill In

eclved the Pope's blessing, it was regarded by muf&.
nis aaugnter as a miracle, ana, weak pnysicaiiy.T
aisoruereu mentally, ne graauaiiy came to ueuevc
that his life had been spared for a special pur
pose Tbe purpose of the Bepublicans was originally
to wait for the death of the Emperor or his volun
tarv abdication in favor of his daughter. Later,
it became known to a select few that tbe plan of
Ailonso Celso, Sr., was to have tbe Emperor ab
dicate In favor of the Princess on the 2d of Decem
ber, and from the time this was discovered
preparations were carefully made to precipitate
the revolution and to establish the Bepublic on
that day.

we thought the authorities had closed all

respectable business houses wonld resort to
such means to attract attention to their
stores. "We mnst apologize to our readers if
we trespass on their time by this lengthy

through, note what we say, and then judge
whether or not it is time for someone to
point out these would-be (?) rcsnectable
merchants who have to resort to the low
practice of giving shows in their windows to
attract attention to their goods. Surely
there must be something wrong. Hither
these merchants are falling very short
ot their usual business or the poor
values they give their patrons is finding
them out. We write this article to let the
public know that there still exists in Pitts
burg a respectable clothing house, which

OH! FOR A COLD WAVE! -:
Is the Prayer of the Clothing Dealer.
Not that he's desirous of shnttin? off the out-door laborer's dailv
bread, but for the very selfish reason of selling off his stock of Storm
Overcoats. Of course we know that such weather as we've been having '"A
of late has not been the kind for Ulsters or Storm Overcoats, but we're1''!?
Douna to have this lmd of weather shortly. Therefore our Great Un- '
loading Sale will give the prospective buyer of Blizzard-Defying Over
coats an opportunity of securing an Overcoat to suit him at a price
some 30 per cent under what he would pay elsewhere.
