TV:- :. ,v r WASHINGTON TOILETS. Graphic SeicrlpUoa of the Drcuscs to bo Wr by the AdmUWtrnilon Indies Thl V Season-Gowns Which Cost SJ.,000 .Apiece n tconBisroxDEjrcE or the msrATCH.2 Washikgto, January 4. The social 'season is now in full blast, and the gorgeous dresses and the costly jewels of our leading ladies are abont to be brought forth. Be fore they are displayed to vulgar eyes I will .give you a peep at them as they hang in their mistresses' closets and chests of cedar. The t&z boxes fairly bulge out with velvets, satins and laces, for although the season is just be ginning every woman here has her fall ward robe. Velvets and diamonds seem to be the administration's role, and many a distinguished dowager will dazzle a worshipful public at "White House and Cabinet house receptions. Every cown Mrs. Harrison or her daughter, Mrs. NcKee. will wear has been made in JNew l'ork by the man who composed their inaugu ration toilets. Not a scran wjll Mrs. Vice Pres ident Morton or Mrs. Postmaster General v an stnaker put on that was not purchased in Pans. Even their boots, gloves and hosiery were bought there. Mrs. Secretary Blaine has di- UBH tiar ftnvtntn hptwpMl PatlS and IseW York, and she is described by a friend as always buying the best, no matter if the article is a kerchief, Mrs. Windom. Mrs. .Noble and Mrs. Wilmerdlng have done a pile of shopping in Hew York and everything promises well for the glory of the first season o the Harrison social regime. , .., . There is more toggery worn at the capital of a winter than in any other city, but this year every woman who will be prominent has at least half a dozen new gowns. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was arranging for her winter's reception toilets when her sister died, and of course, then, she gave no more thought to them, but Mrs. Morton has 2) bran sew ones, Mrs. Blaine has half as many, and Mrs. Wanamaker's wardrobe shows a full dozen. Some of the rich Senators' wives have more. Mrs. Stockbridge, of Michigan, has to day hanging up, wrapped in sheets, 33 gowns.of which she has worn no more than six. Then the diamonds a 81.000,000 could hardly buy the jewel cases that will be opened in Washington this winter. At a diplomatic reception at the "White House, there will be $500,000 represented ia gems. Take a group who will be apt to stand together in any drawing room, Mrs. Mor ton, lire. R. K. Hitt, Mrs. John Hay and Mrs. loiter, why the four of them would sell for as many hundred thousand collars. If Mesdames Senator Standtord and Stockbridge should stand opposite them they would just about bal ance In worth, for the last two have as many gems as the first four. 5IKS. PEESIDEST HABEISOJf'S TOILETS. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison has a fancy for the Violet, heliotrope and mauve shades, and they are the colors she will wear this winter when Ehe resumes her place at the State receptions. ITot only is she fond of violet and its lower tones, but she especially demands that they be executed in velvet or crepn fabrics, as she claims that nothing else properly represents the colors of the pansv. One marvelous gown that she had made in New York before Mrs. Scott-Lord's death is of silk velvet that has a lilac tint in tbedayand is rich heliotrope at night. She had intended to christen it by wear ing it at the opening of the Chicago Auditor ium, but as she did not go it still lies swaddled in tissue napcrs in a 6x1 foot cedar chest of which the White House boasts. Few know how much a President's wife has to pay for her gowns. Mrs. Harrison arrauged for a carriace and house dress the other day at a down town store. It was the simplest thing in the world. Just dark blue cloth, with a nar row pin stnpe of black, to be made up without the slightest trimming. It came home, fitted like a glove, was trim and taut, and gave her the figure of a woman under 30. The bill that came with it, it you please, was 1125 f or'ma terial, making and findings. The same sort of dress a woman of ordinary position would ex pect to get for HO to K0. It is true that it was made on the lightest of silk and was boned so discreetly that the body could be turned inside out and not show a sign of a make up. Every thing else the President's wife purchases is of the bame high price. She must pay a pretty sum for gloves and shoes, as she is very fastid ious about both. Her shoes are all made to order, and. upon the honor of her maker, the last nsed is size 3, width C. A dainty foot, and its owner will never have it encased in anything but black shoes, although for light wearing costumes she follows the tad, and has her slip per of the color of the gown. Elegant women have all sorts of caprices about their clothes. Mrs. Harrison is fastidious about her foot fear. Mrs. Wanamaker would wear a print dress rather than dispense with dainty, hand-made under clothing, and Mrs. Morton considers a glorious costume wasted if the gloves are off in tone or fit As a result of these views, the Vice Presi dent's wife is always the best gloved woman in any assembly. She has purchased boxes nf them each year from a Paris firm who served her when the Vice President was Minister to France. They are suede and very light tan in color. 20 DKESSES AT $1,000 APIECE. It is easy to tell why Mrs. Morton need cive no thought to her costumes, as M. Worth is their composer. There is a seductive tale afloat that she has 20 that bavenevcrbeen taken from their wrappings, ten for carriages and day wear and ten regal reception robes. It is said the bill Worth rendered was 520,000, as be selected, planned and made every one of them. One thousand dollars per gown distances all compe tition in modest Washington, and Mrs. Morton will be the best-aressed as well as the hand somest woman in the administration. She is cot a bit afraid of colors, and in many of her costumes she even touches on the startling shades of red and daffodil yellow. She cau do it, as her arms aud throat are like snow; her face has a soft tinge of pink at night, her eves are dark and her hair of an iron-gray color, all of which features will suffer any color in dress. Mrs. Morton has a liking for furs especially seals and otter, and the two are introduced into her evening as well as ber day costumes. One gown she has already worn was a rich Venetian red brocade, buried in masses of silk net of the same dazzling color. All her bodies are cnt heart-shaped and with straps that fol low the line of the body, thereby falling from the shoulder point. In this red gown the heart-shaped effect was exquisitely prodnced by close folds of the soft net. What jewels did cbe wear with such a dazzling costume? Pearls, of course, as diamonds would make it too flaming. Her full throat was wound around with a necklace formed of six strands of pearls. In jewels Mrs. Morton defies omens, aud, wears fire opals a great deal. One opal ring that she constantly wears is of the shape and size of Lord Byron s famous thumb nail, aud is surrounded with a crest of diamonds, anyone of which wonld set a solitaire ring for a person of modest tastes. One of Mrs. Morton's opera cloaks is raved over as a sweet thine. It is of white broadcloth, very long, lined with rose pink, slashed up the . back and fairly embedded in crinkly Angora tur. Her gowns bring up the bustle question. Kot one of them but has a nil or two of bair- tuffed cloth secreted in the drapery at the Waist. It is true they slope some, but they are till bustles. It is only slim debutantes who can Co without them, and every woman over 23 here Hall clings to the bustle. Mrs. Harrison never . bopped them, although botb her daughter and Augbter-in-law did for a time. BLACK SILK AND THBEAD LACE. Mrs. Wanamaker likes thread lace, in text ure, flint like and in color, black. As she is a woman of fewcaprices, she can afford to satisfy tlils one in full. She is a woman out of the or dinary anyway. She likes engravings better than color-paintings, shivers a little at the too white glare of diamonds and would rather don & black robe covered with a cob-web of black thread lace than all the superb gowns in her wardrobe. Her nature is toned to fine issues, and no carish touch will be seen in any thing Mr 4. Wanamaker does or wears this winter. Think of it, a woman with her wealth does not like diamonds. She has them by the peck, but she never bought the smallest stone for herself or her children. The strain of Quaker in her blood makes all blazon and blare distasteful to her. Her jewel case contains a necklace of matched stones whicn Mr. Wana maker purchased wbenabroad. earrings formed of gems exactly like those in the necklace and bracelets, butterflies, aigrettes and bonnet pins galore. Only one piece does she often select from her collection, and that is a superb pair of earrings presented to her by her father shortly before his death. Although she never wears bracelets apd rarely a neoklace, she always wears a finger ting formed of an "immense ' dusky sapphire buried in a crown of tlnv aia roonds. She has a fondness for the almost translucent blue of that stone. Everything about Mrs. wanamaker's ward robe is on touch with her taste in gems. Among her dresses for this winter is a grande toilette of ivory satin, draped in an indescriba bly graceful way with white barege, a long length of which is wound about in one piece, forming folds of exquisite softness. Folds are Mrs. Wanamaker's favorite aevlce in the dress art, and a violet velvet that she has suffers no trimming save folds of heliotrope crepo shaped at the throat in a way that would make a sculptor's conception unsynimetrical by com parison. Tho white dinner gown of which I speke has a front of rare Honlton which shares with black thread lace Mrs. Wana maker's favor. She rather likes the green shades for her house and carriage dresses, and one in which she made calls upon the ladies of the Supreme Court and Senate, was green, vicuna with light jacket of tho same, as the days were too warm tor furs. Her bonnet with this was the acme of simplicity. In the first place it was a mere scrap, such as the bonnets of the day are. The crown was of dark green velvet draped over two or three folds of reseda green of the same texture. The strings were of the lighter green, and the bow in which they were knotted was larger than is usually seen. Miss Grukdt. Jb. Fitubnrs ninh School Banquet. Gaiety and mirth, toasts and music, lovely ladies and handsome gentlemen abounded in the Hotel Schlosser Friday evening. The oc casion was the first annual banquet of the Pittsburg High School, and such a pleasant affair was the first effort in the direction of a systematized series of annual banquets, that the future celebrations will be looked forward to with great interest and bright anticipations. Guests to the number of 150 filed into the spa cious dining room of the hotel, where the trained force of waiters spent some two hours in serv ing them with an elaborate menu, at the con clusion of which the President Mr. Charles W. Scovel in a very appropriate speech introduced the toastmaster Mr. Edward Hays. In a bright witty manner Mr. Hays assumed hisjdutiesand amid warm applause toasts were made and re sponded to until after the hour ot midnight. After the "feast of reason and flow of soul" accompanied witn the exquisite eatables had been disposed of, the younger members of tho company indulged in the enjoyment of the terpsichorean art until 2 o'clock.

Tbe much-postponed election for Captain in Company G, of the Fourteenth, took place last night. Lieutenant Horace F. Lowett, of this city, is among his friends again atter-a severe attack of throat troubles. Company. F, of the Southslde, has secured a room in the Marker building which will be used for armory purposes until the new armory is completed. Captain Henry Schmidt, of the Four teenth Regiment, will make a flying visit to Erie this week on business connected with the Knights of Honor, of which he is a prominent member. Lieutenant Haeby F. Davis, of the Eighteenth Regiment staff, is developing a taste for journalism. His articles in a local paper on the battles of the late war are being read with interest. Lieutenant William Doak, of Company G. -Eighteenth Regiment, Is an active candidate for the position of Postmaster of East Liberty. His numerous military friends hope that Uncle Sam will treat his application favorably. Company B, t the Eighteenth, has bad a series of resolutions engrossed expressing the svmpatby of the organization over the death ot 'Harry G. Clothier, which took place Decem ber 3L Tubee local companies failed to receive their appropriations from the State last week on account of the bonds of the commanding officers not being properly filed. The com panies were A and G of the Fourteenth and A of tbe Eighteenth. Tbe proper bonds wore sent on at once after this discrepancy was dis covered. The members of Company A of the Four teenth Regiment will meet this afternoon in the company quarters for the purpose ot making some necessary arrangements' relative to the annual ball of tbe organization which occurs shortly. Tbe last affair of this kind given by tbe company was such a great success financi ally that the members are ambitious to excel it possible this year. Quite a number of local officers have re ceived invitations to the annual ball of the State Fcncibles, which will be held in Phila delphia the latter part of the month. It is ex pected that the coming reception will eclipse anything of the kind yet held in the Stats, and quite a number ot prominent individuals from different portions of the country have signified their intention of beingpresent. The annual meeting of the officers of the Eighteenth Regiment, which was to have been held last night, has been postponed until next Saturday evening. As this is tbe most import ant meeting of the year, every officer is ex pected to be present. An election for civil officers for the ensuing year will be held the same evening, also the final approval of the plans for the new armory will be acted upon. A MOCK general court martial will shortly be held by the officers of the Eighteenth Rcgi ment for the purpose of instruction in the de tails of court martial duties. The subject of courts martial is but little understood by nine tentbs of the local officers, and several mock trials in tbe Fourteenth and Battery B, as well as tbe Eighteenth, far instruction purposes, would not only prove Interesting, but most beneficial to the large number of younger offi cers who have lately been commissioned. The marksmen's badges for last season's work are expected in the city this week. The total number coming to the local organizations will be almost GOO, a large Increase over tbe number received last year in this city. Colonel Watres. tbe Division Inspector of Rifle Prac tice, in response to the solicitation of the different regimental inspectors, will issue a special report on the work accomplished in target practice throughout the Guard during the past season. The following order has been issued by tho Secretary of War, and will be of more or less importance to tho members of tbe guard, as it will be carried into effect at tbe next camp: There shall be two roll calls dally, vis., at reveille and retreat, Tbey will be made on the company parades by first sergeants, superin tended by a commissioned officer. Ordinarily there will be no formation for roll call at tattoo, but the prescribedignal will be sound ed, and 15 minutes thereafter all lights must bo extinguished. Taps shall be sounded at 11 P. M., when an Inspection of quarters shall he made by tbe first sergeants, who will report the names of absentees without per mission. In speaking of the appointment of the suc cessor to General Hartrantt, Governor Beaver said last week that he was not at all anxious on the subject and did not seo any particular reason for naming such an officer at present, as the affairs of tbe Guard are running along smoothly without a head. All communications addressed to the Division Commander are for warded to General Snowden's quarters, and the Governor has intimated that no appointment will be made until after next camp, which will ba by division at ML Gretna, when tbe ability ot several of the applicants for the position can be tested relative, to handling a body of men as large as tbe National Guard of Penn sylvania. As tbe only candidates prominently mentioned are Generals Snowden and Gobin, it is a littlo rough on their previous records to thus question their ability to handle 8,000 men. At any rate the appointment seems to be per- manenuy eueiveu. Want of Room Compels as to sacrifice.

WORLD'S MUSEUM Curiosities, Etc. The above are the theatrical attractions for this week. V At the Bijou Theater, commencing to morrow evening for one week, with the usual matinees, Bronson Howard's greatest triumph, "Shenandoah," will be ptesented for the first time in this city. Its produc tion, will correspond exactly with that given for the past six monthis in NewSbrk City to large audiences, and where it has been conceded as tho only big dramatic success of the present season. Bronson Howard cannot be called a prolific writer, for in more than a decade be had given but seven plays, beginning with "Saratoga," and ascending to '-The Henrietta," the imme diate predecessor of "Shenandoah.'' For a very long while "The Banker's Daughter" was esteemed the foremost product of American authorship. The care with which Mr. Howard has done all his work, tho delicate treatment which be has given subjects readily inviting the force of exaggeration, and the fine dra matic instinct which has enabled him to invest his plays with realism, with a series of consecu tive stage successes, entitles him to considera tion as the foremost of American dramatists. In "Shenandoah" Mr. Howard has, it is said, written a play which differs entirely from any of his previous work. It is described as a comedy with threads of ro mance gleaming through it. The story is taken from events that occurred iu and around Washington aud the Shenandoah Valley. There is nothing In the play to hurt the feel ings of the most sensitive Southerner. The opening scene of "Shenandoah" is laid in Charleston, iu a ball-room, in the early morn ing of the day on which tbe first shot was fired against Fort Sumter. Here the principal per sonages of the drama are assembled. Two young officers, bosom friends at West Point, one a Virginian and the other a New Yorker, discuss the great question of the hour, and each avows his lore for the sister of tbe other. The young ladies, who share the political sen timents of their respective brothers, enjoy a little patriotic quarrel on their own account, closing the encounter with tears and kisses. The Virginian wins his suit promptly, but the New Yorker is less fortunate, the guns of Beauregard bringing his courtship to an ab rupt and angry termination. In the second and third acts tbe soene is transferred to tho Shenandoah Valley, and tbe Introduction of reallstio war pictures is attained. By a certain coincidence the chief person ages are brought together.and the New Yorker, now a Colonel, makes a prisoner of his South ern lady lore, who has undertaken to deliver Confederate disrjatcb.es. The lnterrunted court ship is then continued under disadvantageous circumstances, out ween tne uoionel is almost killed by an assassin, love triumphs and the fair Southerner surrenders at discretion. Tbe war incidents include tbe reading of the even ing's signals from Three Top Mountain, and the conversion of a rout into victory by Sheri dan after his famous raid. The case will be: Gen.

This season Messrs. Prim rose & West have spared neither time nor money iu placing on the road the greatest minstrel combination ever organized. The salary list alone is nearly 3,000 per week, say nothing abont the cost of the elegant printing, hotel board, car fare, and their agents in ad vance. Certainly Primrose 6 West have thoroughly revolutionized the minstrel world and have added all new and exclusive features never before seen In this city. The gorgeous crystal satin first part cost 2o.OOO: it is some thing unique, grand and original.

At Harris' Theater, the drama "Reuben Glue" is the attraction this week. The play is a dramatization from Mr, H. Thomas' stories, 'The Bushrangers, or Gold Hunters in Austra lia." It is exceedingly Interesting and full of thrilling situations. The plot is laid in Austra lia, during the gold excitement In ISoO. The company is an unusually strong one for such a play, and all the characters are personated in excellent stile. Johnny Frindle, as Meuben Glue, is especially strong. At the Academy of Musio a capital attrac tlon Is promised. The American Four Comedy and Specialty Company receives Its title from tbe quartet of capital fellows, Pettingtll, Gale, Lewis and Lord. They are one ot the strong, est specialty companies before the public, and in themselves are a capital show. Lillie West ern is dashing and versatile, and "The World's Trio" can make the veriest dyspeptic forget his troubles. The Sheppard Sisters, the Sheerans, Karl and Bailey, the Healers and others giro such pleasing specialties as combine to produce a most entertaining programme. . The World's Museum still intends to depend upon tbe .heavy-weight. Big Eliza, who will this week appear upon tbe stage and show ber histrionic talents. There aro a multitude of new curiosities and a variety performance besides-, all for 10 cents. Stags Whispers. It is reported that Henry Irving is to build a new theater iu the Strand, London.

IT is likely that Annie Pixley will play an engagement in London this spring. Marcus Mayer Is negotiating for a theater in that city and expects to present Miss Pixley in "M'llss" pn Easter Monday. Miss Roskcogbxan has never yet played an engagement in Pittsburg. Tbe favorite actress is to appear iu that city March 10, and during ber week there will be seen ir.

Rosser, and the following note: "I will say to the man ager that as I sat in the audience, having par ticipated in tho scenes of the great tragedyof the Shenandoah, that as presented they are to me most realistic indeed." The company who have occupied the stage of the New York Casino for the past four months will inaugurate a traveling season at the Hollis Street Theater, Boston, Monday evening, presenting "The Drnm Major" and also revivals of "Nadjy" and "Erminie" during their stay of four weeks. Tbe complete scenic and stage effects will be earned by the com pany, requiring four immense cars for the transportation from city to city. At the home theater "The Brigands" will be revived for an indefinite period, with the same cast as was Mien there a few weeks ago. Madame Modjeska says m the Mirrors Judging by myself, I can only say that a cer tain disposition, excitement, or whatever you call it, is at times a help at times a hindrance to me. But, then, is it possible for us to give an exact analysis of our state of mind while we are playing to state tbe exact share of our identity divided between our private character and tbe one we assume: To state accurately how much I feel that I am my own self, and how much that I am tbe other person. Is a psychological puzzle that I am unable to solve. Of course, I know that I am sometimes more in my part, sometimes more out of it; but why it is so, and bow much it is so, I cannot say. Gus Mortimer, tbe well-known theatrical manager, died Friday in New York of pneu monia, resulting from influenza, Mr. Mortimer was the manager of the Marie Wainwrigbt company, also of Louis James, the tragedian. He was m this city several weeks ago, arrang ing for the appearance ot Miss Wainwrlght in her new production ot "Twelfth Night" at the Grand Opera House. Last week a contract was signed between Manager Mortimer and Manager McVicker, of Chicago, by wbich Mr. Louis James is to be seen at McVicker's Thea ter in that city February 10 in an elaborate pro duction of a play 'called "Gomez de Vegas," which was originally owned by the late E. L. Davenport, and has been presented to Mr. James by Miss Fanny Davenport. Mr. Mo Vicker'will personally superintend the produc tion, and if the play is a success it will be seen in New York before the close ot tho present season. This winter, at Her Majesty's Theater, in the historic Haymarket in London, the mana gers of that theater propose to take the panto mimic cake. Tho record of the past, brilliant as it is, is to be beaten. More money is to be spent than ever. The preparations for the show began in June last, and have been going on ever since. The costumes are being made by the best houses in Paris and London; tbe best painters supply.tbe scenery; men like Alfred Cellier and Edward Solomon furnish the music; Clement Scott. Is to write tbe words of the songs; tbe ballets are from Paris; the rank and file of the artists include such well-known favorites of the English stage as Violet Cam eron (a prima donna in comic opera), Laura Linden, Ella Chapman, Irene Verona, Lila Clay and Mrs. Henry Leigh, Shiel Barry (the famous Qaspard of the "Cloches de Corne ville"), Harry Parker. Fawdon Vokes and Charles Coborn (of "Two Lovely Black Eyes" fame). And who, think you, is to be at the . apex of this galaxy of brilliant talent? Why, our own Minnie Palmer. A compliment to Min nie, and as ber modest husband would say, to the American people. The entire arrangements for the production of Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, "The Gon doliers," In this country.bave at last been made. At the Park Theater, New York, which Is now closed and being put into perfect order for the event, the opera will be given its first pro duction on next Tuesday, January .7. The English company which will present tbe opera may be expected here the early part of this week, as it sailed from England on last Thurs day week. After its run ot eight weeis at the Park Theater the opera will be transferred to Palmer's Theater. Francis Wilson and his company will be the first to present tbe work in Philadelphia, arrangements to that effect hav ing been made on last Saturday. Mr. Wilson will take the part of the Duke, appearing for the first time in one ot Gilbert and Sullivan's operas, and the piece will be put on at the Broad Street Theater on March 1 for a long run. For tbe rest of the country John Stetson puts two companies on the road to. produce the opera east of Pittsburg, while Manager David Henderson, of the Chicago Opera House, starts three companies on the road for the Western cities. Putting so many organizations on the road in "The Gondoliers" will, it is sup posed, be a barrier to pirates. ART HEWS AND NOTES. An oil portrait of the late Mrs. W. G. John ston is on view at Gillespie's. It is the work of Mr. Jasper Lawman. Although more retired and shut off from the world than are people who follow many other avocations, the trtists are not so far re moved from tbe great mass of humanity en gaged in more lucrative pursuits that their in terests cease to be Identical with those of tbe balance of mankind, and the approach of the holiday season creates increased activity in the ranks of tbe painters no less than elsewhere., But now that the gala days are past, they have once more settled down to serious work, and their small canvases having been mostly fin ished up previous to Christmas, they are now engaged upon pictures which require more time and care In their preparation. A nook in a dark forest glade where ferns grow in wild luxuriance has sorved Mr. George Hetzel as a model for the small study which is at present showing at Boyd's. The subject is one that takes in an extremely limited area, being merely a vacant space between the boles of a few old trees, whoso slender sweeping branches trail their luxuriant foliage upon the ground, shutting off tho view of all beyond with an impenetrable curtain of rich and varied green. With strong and pleasing color ing, this little picture combines a quality wbich is much less desirable, and tbat Is a certain stiffness of handling rarely to be observed in Mr.Hetzel's work. It is true that this is in some measure Inseparable from tbe character of the subject, but even with due allowance for this tact, the work Is scarcely up to the artist's usual standard, since be is noted for the free, dom and flexibility of his foliage and shrub bery, A jockey mounted upon a thoroughbred horse going at full speed forms the subject of a very cleverly handled painting shown at Gil lespie's. In tbe immediate foreground a small portion of race track Is seen, while on tbe left rise some picturesque trees; and the back ground is formed by a glimpse of distant land scape, but this portion of the picture, although finely composedand excellently well executed, has been completely subordinate, and the en tire interest of the picture directed toward tho animal and its rider. With this end In view, tho scene has been shrouded in a soft, gray misty haze, and is painted somewhat below tho stroneth ot nature in the matter of brilliancy of light and depth of shade, though in color it is clean and bright in spite of its cool and misty quality. Against such a background as this the form of tbe running horse, glossy and dark almost to blackness, stands out In strong relief, while the figure of bis rider, in a cos. tume of bright scarlet, forms a spot of rich color tbat at once rivets tbe attention of the observer, Tho drawing of the figure of the jockey is very good that or the animal is still better, and the action of tbe latter has been very cleverly shown. Altogether tbe picture must be considered a strong and well balanced work; but in subject it Is one that will interest only a comparatively limited number of people. A second painting by the same artist Is-simply a portrait of a horse with a stable wall for a background, and this picture, while. In some respects similar to the one above described, is much less effective and is too monotonous in its blue-back coloring. What N'olao Some of the cloak dealers are making, what tremendous cuts are being advertised; it's the old, old story of how to humbug the public.
