A bright-eyed, vivacious, little creature,
who would probably admit 18 summers, and
as many winters, entered a confectionery
store one day last week, where it was almost
necessary to have a policeman to keep order,
so many customers were awaiting their turn
at the lone counters. But this saucy bit of
humanity didn't assume an expression oi
patience and mock-humility, and with due
reverence for the'rights of others, await her
turn. No, indeed. Making her way to the
counter she immediately began to nibble at
tuefwcctstnere displayed in a thoroughly ap
preciative manner, meanwhile looking the im
personation of innocence.
"Wuat will jou have to-day, missT" as ut
tered by one of the clerks startled tjiose
around the little maiden, but did not apparently
affect tier in the least.
Cm
With perfect composure she gave her order
amid tne Indignant glances and upturned noses
of earlier comers whose claims to recognition
had been ignored in her favor. Her desired
candy was speedily very speedily in fact
boxed for her. Re-eivme it in an indifferent
manner from the hand of the salesman, the
little lady rejoined her cirl friend who had
tarried near the door, and who expressed sur
prise at her quick return. With a saucy toss
of the head and a merry little laugh the miss
with the box replied to her friond's expression
of surprise with:
Oh, 1 know how to make them wait on me
quick, no matter how many people are in the
store. You see I just go up to the counter and
commence tasting of the candies, and the
longer I havo to wait the more vigorously I
taste, so to prevent bankruntcr they have to
wait on me. Good scheme. Just try it some
time." concluded the shrewd little sweetmeat
purchaser.

An Adonis, who is noted for his wit as well as
his humor, and is a well-known figure at the
theaters, was heard discoursing upon the
theater programmes the other day in a some
what novel but pointed manner. Could the
exageerated. rnstliuc advertising medium, com
monly termed a programme, havo heard him it
would have retired with a proper sense of its
inferiority and its presumption at ever having
existed.
iaaid he: -The newspaper writers havo for
years pointed their shafts of wit ana sarcasm
at the iffel-tou er-stjled hats and bonnets, and
voted them a nuisance in the theater, and I
admit they are a nuisance,but not more so than
the stiff paper programmes that require the aid
off opera glasses to find the cast of chaiacters
and synopsis of the play, so immersed in aaver
tisemente aro they. One prevents seeing and
the other bearing. The other evenine I was
late in obtaining my seat and consequently was
over half way back in the house, ana positively
i never was more irritated in my life than I
was during that performance. The eternal rus
tle of those everlasting programmes was respon
sible for some mental condemnation that was
positively shocking.
"Uothing can be more exasperating than to go
to a play with the desire of hearing what is said
on the stage, and at the most interesting mo
ments have the neighbors on either side and
behind seek the cast of characters amid the
advertisements, while the lady in front ar
rances her programme with lots of rattle to
more thoroughly protect her dainty gloves
from contact with her gown.
"What a pleasing Innovation it would be to
have soft paper programmes with nothing
printed upon them but what pertained to the
play," continued the Adonis. "It is true occa
sionally there would be a disconsolate maiden
or youthful adorer who would miss the
advertisements the reading of which has
helped them many times to cover
up their embarrasmen and tide over moments
between the acts but the majority of theater
coers would rive the new programme a royal
welcome. Or if the soft paper would not be
practicable a little book form programme, stiff
enough to prevent the rattling that so rattled
me, would be a delightful substitute for the
daily newspaper affair that is now thrust into
one s hands the moment he enters the theater,
and in w hich he has to delve and persevere in
delving to ascertain where the little space is,
that is reserved for facts concerning the attrac
tions of the house."

Japanese sacred nuts, warranted to accom
plish more than any patent medicine yet
offered to the public bring the possessor good
luck the entire year if earned on Easter Sun
day are tor sale by a Fifth avenue jeweler.
They are the latest fad and conscqueutlv are
having a large sale among the "f adists." Their
intrinsic value is small, but in former times the
uneducated Japanese used to worship them,
the supeistitiou arising from the fact that
the kernel is heart-shaped. Iu shape they rep
resent accurately a pair of mounted ox horns.
They are two inches from tip to tip, and are
black in color, looking not unlike a black but
terfly. ..
The taste is very similar to that of a Brazil
nut, and a remarkable quality about them is
that tbey, like wedding cake, improve with
age, remaining sweet and palatable for 20
years from the time they are gathered.
They really are quite a curiosity, and can lay
claim to considerable beauty, especially when
their brunet colorinc is enhanced by a dainty
yellow ribbon arranged cracefully around their
rather extensive wauts. as is the case with the
members of the family that are in Pittsburg.
A group of merry maids and men wcro en
gaged in chatting and eating at one of the pop
ular cafes the other evening, when one bright
young lady said, addressing the remainder of
the party: "Oh, by the way, did you know that
Miss Blank is to be married to-morrow?"
"Buried!" exclaimed one of the men, whose
hearing mast have been defective, in a tone and
manner expressive of surprise and horror.
.'o," answered the first speaker, "1 didn't
sav burled, I said married."
With a sigh of relief the man who had ejacu
lated returned to his dinner, and a demure lit
tle maiden astonished the whole company by
saying: "Married and buriedl .Not much differ
ence between the two, only in tho first case a
woman is buried alive, and in the last case she
is buried dead." TnoBXE Bkanciie.

Commencing to-morrow night, "The Drum
mer Boy, or the Battlefield of Shiloh" will hold
the stage of the Bijou Theater for onoweek.
This romantic military melodrama never seems
to grow old, and all the vivid and realistic
scenes of the dreaded days of the Civil War
will be enacted over again. It is a well-known
fact that it is for the benefit of Post 3, G. A.
R., and it will be devoted to tho widows and
orphans' fund. A large number ot people will
participate in the grand revival of this
old historical drama, and they have
been in active rehearsal for the past

Hays, D. A Jones, Jimmie Craven, D. Ash

Miss Nellie McHenry and a strong company
brines Bronson Howard's "Greenroom Fun"
to the Grand Opera House this week. The
play has won high praise elsewhere, and Nelllo
McHenry is well known to Pittsburgers as a
comedienne of great originality and strength.
The following is a brief idea of tho plot: A
party of society young people feel called upon
to give an amateur dramatic entertainment for
tho benefit of the little cannibals in the be
nighted lands. The mishaps and contretemps
which naturally occur during their endeavors
to produce a roaring melodrama entitled, "The
Eagle of the Crag," aro ludicrous in the ex
treme, especially as tbey are presumed to be
instructed by a competent stage manager who
is a supposed popular tragedian. The first two
acis are taken up with tho divers plans and
other preparations for the public appearance,
among which are various mistakes of a most
ludicrous nature. The third act pictures the
nicht of the performance, giving views of the
stage as well as tho greenroom, disclosing
frantic efforts of tho stago manager to bring
order out of amateur chaos.
.
There is probably no comedy better known
than "The Widow Bedott," which is to be pre
sented at the popular Harris Theater for one

is a pure, true story of New England life, and
yet is extremely funny.
The title role is played by Mr. Harry La Marr,
an actor of more than ordinary ability, who is
said to be even better in the part than Mr. Neil
Burgess. The balance of the company is made
up of capable actors and actresses.
There are plenty of good specialties in it, and
a most enjoyable production is looked for.
Special new scenery is being prepared.

Governor Beaver has issued a proclama
tion appointing April 11 and May 2 as Arbor

A lartre and enthusiastic meeting was that of
Post 128 on Thursday evening. Department
Commander Denmston, attended by about 30
members of bis post, 117, was there on an of
ficial and fraternal visit, and added much in
terest. Among other things talked of were
pension matters and Grand Army affairs in
general. Comrade Dr. J. E. Wilson, of Post
165, who Is on the Pension Examining Surgeon
Boaid, was present, and gave much light on
pension matters.
He told of a bill that had been favorably
recommended by the Committee on Pensions
of tho House of Representatives, which pro
vided for a double rating of veterans who had
two wounds, either of which would Incapacitate
from manual labor. The preparation of tho
bill was largely brought about by a test case
which Major DennUton was prevailed upon by
Dr. Wilson and other officials of the Pension
Bureau to enter some time ago. The case
failed, as was expected, and Major Dennlston
and others wounded in like manner (a leg oil
and an arm almost ruined) still receive a pen
sion for but one wound.
Department Commander Dennlston made a
characteristic address which received the usual
enthusiastic reception. Many comrades spoke
Interestingly. Comrade Lovi B. Richards, of
Post 117, recited "The Woodpecker," thereby
bringing down the house. A lunch was a
pleasing feature of the evening. Lot us have
more of such meetings.
The Soldiers' Widows' Home.
Tho project of a Soldiers' Widows' Home at
-Hawkins station, started by the ladies of the
G. A R., has "takeu" most satisfactorily.
Many posts have contributed liberally, and en
tertainment after entertainment is being given
to help along. The reception to be given at
CycloramaHall, Allegheny, on Tuesday, April
15, by Camps 33 and 162, Sons of Veterans,
promises to Do a grand affair and will materi
ally assist tho home. The entertainment under
the auspices of Encampment No. 1, U. V. L., at
U. V. L. Hall last Monday evening, was a suc
cess in every particular. The ball was crowded
by an audience liberal with its applause, which
was merited by the volunteer talent. A neat
sum was realized for the Home.
Geary Circle, No. 7, gave a musical and liter
ary entertainment on last Tuesday evening,
which was a success all through. People were
turued away as the hall was so crowded. The
proceeds go towards the Home. On last Tues
day evening. Post E8 voted !150 toward the
project with the expectation of giving more
later. Post 162, at its meeting before last con
tributed 550. At Post 157s meeting last Thurs
day, a letter from tno ladles was read thank
ingthe post for its donation.
Topular John Tnylor.
An assemblage of about 800 comrades filled
the postroom of Post SI, Philadelphia, on last
Thursday evening to witness the presentation
of a handsome sword to Quartermaster Gen
eral of the Grand Army John Taylor. The
sword, which is a beauty, was offered by a Phil
adelphia newspaper to the most popular vet
eran or military officer In Pennsylvania to be
decided by popular vote. The great popularity
of National Quartermaster General was proved,
and the sword was presented on behalf of the
newspaper by Past Department Commander
Thomas J. Stewart. It was accepted on be
half ot Comrado Taylor by City Solicitor of
Philadelphia Warrick.
Comrade Taylor's vote exceeded 80,000 over
tho next highest competitor, and this notwith
standing that his name was nsed under a strong
protest from him. He was forced Into the con
test. After the presentation visiting comrades
and prominent citizens were tendered a ban
quet by tho Vesta Club, a social organization
to which many comrades of the Grand Army
belong. Comrade H. H. Bengough represented
the Pittsburg veterans at the affair.
Final Drnmmer Boy Arrangements,
"The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" is all ready
for a successful week at the Bijou Theater. A
full rehearsal took place in the United States
Court room last night under the direction of
Mr. A. F. Nail, the owner of the piece, who ar
rived in the city last Tuesday. He is much
pleased with tho cast and at finding the parts
well learned. Mr. Nail is particularly well
pleased with the stage settings, new scenery,
etc.
The prospects are that this presentation will
be tho most successful the drama has ever had.
Jimmie Craven, of Alliance, O., the "drummer
boy," arrived in this city on Thursday, and will
give the best representation of the character
ever given. Leon J. Long, as Uncle Joe, will
give some of his latest productions on the
topics ot the day. The members of Post 3 will
assemble at the post-room at 7:30 o'clock to
morrow evening, and all who are therewill

A large meeting of tho resident companions
of the Loyal Legion was held in the Fire Mar
shal's office on Friday to arrange for attending

of that organization on the 15th of next month.

vided. The general meeting will be held In the
Academy of JMusio on the evening of the 15th,

tickets will be necessary. It is expected that at
least 5,000 companions win oe in attenaance,
and that it will be the most notable gathering
of officers since the close of the war.
A Coffee Cooler's Collections.
An exceedingly interesting little volume is
the work entitled "Collections of a Coffee
Cooler' by S. Creelman, of Co. A One hundred
and first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Comrade Creelman's story of prison life in An
dersonvillo and Florence is at once pathetic,
amusing and racy. Besides this story the book
contains: "Transformed Historic Scenes."
"Foraging." "The Soldier's Widow," "Army
Beans." "The Soldier's Funeral," "Silent Ben
tinels." "Army Corn." "The Battlefield." "The
Army Mule," "Co. K," "Dixie's Sunny Land"
and "Soldier's Oration." All are very good.
Comrade Creelman served 46 months durinzthe
Rebellion inclusive of 11 months in prison pens.

The prevalence of sickness among the members
of the circle prevented their offering being as
large as was expected. It is, however, only in
tended as an earnest of the Interest taken in
tho project by tho ladies of Circle No. 62, and
an evidence that tho women ot the Grand
Army circles aro willing and anxious toprovldo

men whom the bullets have spared, but disease
or old age cut down.
Post 23G's Celebration,
Post 23ffs celebration of the surrender of Lee

is now in Grove's store, on Fifth avenne, and
many people stopped to admire its beauty last
week. The emblem will be received for the
post by Comrade A P. Burchfleld, of Post 162.
The prospects aro good for this celebration
eclipsing in interest all previous Grand Army
affairs on the hill. Comrade John C. Thomas,
who is endeavoring to make it a complete suc
cess, has secured lots of musical and literary
talent.
Tbo Grnnd Army In Brief.

THE BUYS IX BLUE,
Major W. W. Greenland, Second Brigade
Quartermaster, spent a few days in the city last
week.
The cost of sustaining the regular army of
the United States last year was 40,466,460. This
Included all the different departments ol the
service.
The Armory Committee of the Fourteenth
Regiment met last Tuesday evening and
adopted new rules for the government of the
Central Armory.
Major Wilson F. Braden, of Greenville,
Judge Advocate of the Second Brigade, has
been appointed an Inspector of cattle and will
locate in this city.
The preliminary inspections of the compan
ies in the Fourteenth Regiment will be started
by Colonel Percbment about April 14. The in
spections will be held on the regular meeting
nights of the companies.
Lieutenant Lindsat, of Company H,
Eighteenth Regiment, has tendered his resig
nation on account of removal from the city.
Lieutenant Lindsay gives several other reasons
in bis resignation which may cause the Adju
tant General to smile when he sees them.
Captain Hunt will hold a short preliminary
inspection of the Battery to-morrow morning.
Lieutenant Brown will have charge of tbo
guard mount. The regular spring inspection
of the Battery takes place May 10. Captain
Hunt returned to Pittsburg last Friday after
an absence of several weeks in Canada.
Most of the companies ot the Eighteenth
Regiment moved into the old Criminal Court
building last week and the balance will be in
by next Tuesday. Battery B has been assigned
the old Commissioner's office on the second
floor and the guns and heavier material will be
stored in the yard and cellar. The building is
In remarkably poor condition, but will be pretty
thoroughly overhauled and cleaned at once.
A number of the members of the National
Guard that served during the troubles at
Scranton in 1S77 met in Old City Hall last Fri
day evening for the purpose of forming an
organization among the survivors. There were
about 75 men present, and A C. Dean was
elected Chairman and Charles S. Black, Secre
tary. A committee was appointed on organi
zation, and another meeting will shortly be
called by tho chair.
The date of the competitive examination for
appointment to West Point from this district
has been set for next Thursday at the rooms of
the Central Board of Education. Congressman
Dalzell has named Prof. George J. Luckey,
John G. Bryant and C. F. Blngeman as the
board of examiners, and Dr. Blngeman, of Penn
avenue, will conduct the physical examination.
About 20 young men have already announced
their intention of entering the contest.
Several local Captains, in speaking ot
Major Patterson's Intention of inspecting com
panies in tho sitting up exercises, state that the
drill is perfectly incompatible with the present
manner of running companies. To put men
through such a course of exercises and derive
any benefit would require at least a half hour's
work daily, while, at best, men show up for
drills but onco a week or two weeks. The drill
has certainly not been practiced In any of the
local companies, except possibly in the last few
weeks as a preparation for the inspections.
A requisition has been made on the Secre
tary of War for a sufficient number of new 45
caliber rifles to complete the fitting out of the
National Guard In this State. It is expected
that the guns will be In shape for distribution
at the next encampment. All unserviceable
guns and spare parts are to be sent to Harrls
burg at once for repairs, together with all old 50
caliber ammunition on band. The move Is a good
one, ana was brought about by the suggestion
of regular army officers, who were inspecting
the guard last year, it being claimed that the
difference in ammunition and guns might cause
serious trouble in case the companies were to
be called into action.
Special orders from the Adjutant General's
office discharges Quartermaster Charles E.
Brown, of the Eighteenth Regiment, and Lieu
tenant C. J. Snyder, of Company F, same
organization. The discharge of the latter gen
tleman finally settles the troubles in this com
pany caused by the new ruling ot General
Hastings, giving unsuccessful candidates before
the Brigade Examining Board the right to
retain any commission they might be holding
prior to the examination. The vacancy In
Company F will probably bo filled by the re
election of Lieutenant Kaerchcr, who was
elected to the position before the recent ruling
of the Adjutant General.
Captain O. C. Coon, or Company I, McKees
port, has announced his intention of resigning
his commission as Captain. Mr. Coon has been
connected with Company I since 1S84, serving
through all tho intermediate positions from
private up. During his term as Captain be has
brought the company up to a remarkably high
standard of efficiency, particularly in rifle
practice, last year every member of the organi
zation having qualified as a marksman or sharp
shooter. The cause ot Captain Coon's resigna
tion is due to some trouble connected with the
business organization which was formea among
the members about a year ago. The probable
successor to the Captaincy is Lieutenant Jay

ELECTRIC NEEDLE OPERATION,
By DR. VAN DYCK. 502 Penn ave., Pittsburg
This 13 purely a scientific operation, and Is in
dorsed by all physicians and surgeons of emi
nence, as being the onlv method In the world
by which the hair can be destroyed forever.
Dr. Van Dyck has had U jeara experience In
this operation, has treated hundreds of cases,
and has acquired tbo skill of an eznert and
never fails to cure any case. Office, 602 Penn
ave.
ACNE H03ACAE
Is a chronic and congested inflammatory dis
ease of the face, mostly affecting the cheeks
and nose. The characteristic features are red
ness, dilatation and enlargement of the blood
vessels of the cheeks and nose and more or less
pimples and pustules.
Symptoms At llrst there is more or less red
ness of nose and cheeks; this is frequently ac
companied by an oily, greasy condition of the
skin, and the nose is apt to feel cold rather than
warm often takes months and even years to
thoroughly develop. After awhile the redness
becomes permanent, and upon close examina
tion you will find the nose and cheeks covered
with a network of fine veins and capillaries.
Sometimes these run in straight lines on the
side of the nose, near the end, but as a rule
these veins run irregularly, sometimes forming
regular loops. We often see a vein, say one
balf to an inch in length, and these One fila
ments of veins running in all directions from
main stem; then hard indurated pimples appear,
which often fester sometimes spreads to
cheeks. The course ot this disease is chronic,
generally lasting for years. Sooner or later
pimples "and mattery pustules appear affects
both sexes. In the third stage the noso is gen
erally enlarged, the veins enlarged to an
enormous extent, are a dark red or livid color,
ami the noso Decomes ronsb, red. corrugated,
tubulated, and in some cases assumes mons
trous proportions, becoming as large as a man's
fist.
The causes are eeneral debility, dyspepsia,
anaemia, the use of brandy, whisky or wine
habitually. On the other hand there are many
cases occurring in both sexes in which no causa
whatever can be found for the development of
this disease. In oiher words many a true man
and noble woman are compelled to bear the
banner of Baccnu3 in their face while they may
be perfectly abstemious In their habits. Men
who are exposed to the extremes of weather
as cabmen, drivers, etc, are predisposed to
Rosacae also women who work in the heat, do
their own cooking, are predisposed to it. also
men who work by open ovens receiving sudden
flashes of the heat in their faces, often have
it. Bankers, clubmen and highllvers are also
subject to the worst forms of Rosacae.
Dr. Van Dyck has devoted special attention
to the scientific treatment of this disease and
