wwfwjafcr ntrrmff-&& 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 1890. k - LJ WHERE .fr., lVyfX "April showers brine May flowers" and, it might be added, rnin French flowers, as many anew bonnet will be donned with fear and trembling to-day, and the umbrella will be the companion of every possessor of a new Easter bonnet. There will be any number of them worn, and they are Tery pretty and tasty this spring. Easter conies a trifle early this year, bnt the Easter garb of man, woman and child will make the streets and the several churches very interesting to the admirer of the beauti ful. Milliners, modistes and tailors bare been busy for some ceks. past, and the majority of thera pave a sigh if relief last night when without encroaching upon the Sabbath the last box con taining a perfect darling of a bonnet" or a veet gown" ora"ell spring suit," was de livered to the anxious and delighted owner. Never were E liter goods, Easter cards and Easter eggs more attractive than they are this .spring. Tbe Easter eggs are perfect marvels of beau ty, and many a little bright eye will grow brighter still this morning at the sight of the usually plain, unpretentious eggs adorned with brush and paint by the band of some loving uuc iue EHe egs uaa Kcmra 10 ne me chicken egg has not been ignored, by any means; but the goose egg, by its alabaster com plexion, as it w ere, and tue greater extent of surlacc fr decorations, bas been the most popular. Flowers of every variety have run riot over the pretty shells, and handles of dainty ribbons hvc made the Easter egg an object to be admired, but unless handled with cat e a crumbled mass prevents a continuation of admiration. The Easter cards, too, have been remarkable for their daintiness and beauty, and many a maiden will glance lovingly and blushiugly this morning At tbe tiny little missive that ap pears so insignificant to others, but means so much to her and the receiving of it w ill make the day more joyous. Many a wife's heart will beat w uh joy this happy day, and the love troth will be renewed over tbe basket of fra grant flowers that the thoughtful husband bas ordered. .And many a wife will smother a little sigh of disappointment over the negli gence or thoughtlessness of her husband, who failed to observe too pretty custom of Easter remembrance which lie was so careful about before the maiden became the matron. Easter Sunday is the day of all days in the year wbeu tbe heart should be glad and joyf uL Christmas Day is in commemoration of the birth of the Savior but Ea-ter Sunday com memorates tbe day in which He triumphed over death aud came forth lroin the sepulcher. How many stricken hearts that have been com pelled during the year to lay away in the cold embrace of death the remains of loved ones, will be comforted by tbe sermons that will be delivered In the churches this morning. Tbe season of seclusion and self-denial is over, and society will once more resume its round of pleasure. Weddings in abundance will be celebrated during this month, and smae even are already booked for May and the month of roses. Otherwise no remarkable evidences of a very gay post lenten season are noticeable. Thoksk Bkanch. The Lnst Week of Lent. A number of Miss Mary Licr's friends ten dered ber a surprise at her home. No. 51 Mon terey street, on Thursday evening last. One of the pleasant events of the week was a surprise party in honor of Miss Mattle Haw thorn at her residence. No. 19 Windsor street, Allegheny. Dancing, vocal and instrumental music were the features of the evening. Misses Nannie and Jennie Loughridge, of Webster avenue, f ittsburg, entertained a few friends from Allegheny on Monday evening. Among those present were Misses Carrie Bingham. Grace Hastings, Maggie Stewart, Edith Harper and Jennie Stewart; Messrs. Harry Tcrnate,IraMcCowan,CbarlieEyles, Will Beam aud Walter Cowan. Recitations, danc ing and singing made the evening a very enjoy able one. Miss Gw eny Lewis, of 1110 Muriel street, S. S.. entertained ber friends Tery pleasantly on Friday evening last, tbe occasion being her birthday. Those present were the Misses M. Lewis, E. Lewis, W. Griffiths. A. Fleming. N. grosser, L. Priichard, M. Prosser, M. Baker, M. Rooney, N. Lewis, S. Zoners, and the Mas- tetsu. Lewis, j. a. urimths. J. W. Griffiths. D. Thomas, J. Jones, W. Davis, W. E. Scott, C. Pritchard. IL Reeve, H. Davis. Tbe supper at the Idlewood Church last Tuesday evening was a great success. Inez Jones, aged 7, took the prize offered by Kauf man n Bros., and Willie Allott, aged 11, took the one offered by Gusky Tbe singing by tbe Will Thompson quartet added much to the en joyment of the evening. Tbe church is now entirely clear of debt, but one thing cast a glo iu over many of the older members; their nearly beloved old pastor, James Rob.nson, tlio founder ot the church, through old age and failing health, was not able to be present and rejoice with them. On Monday evening. March SLa pleasant party was held at 1730 Carson street, the resi dence of Mr. T. Miller, in honor of his daugh ter. Miss Carrie Miller. Dancing and euchre en grossed tbe attention of tbe cuests. A recher che supper was served about 1230 a. m. Among the guests were Me ssrs. D. W. Jones, N. Kunzler, Dave Rosser. George Heisel Ed "Ward, Will Miller, Will Wlnton. Will Brett weiser, G. Knotts, Frank Woodward, Harry Smith. Howard Winton. Alec Kunzler, John Semmelrock.

Tillie Scheiterleln. s Tbe entertainment and social held by the Daughters of Liberty in the ball of Post 162, G. A. Rm on last Monday evening, was a very grat ifying success, financially and otherwise. The first part of tbe evening was devoted to music and recitations, under tbe management of Miss Alice M. Tower, against whom no fault could be found except that she treated ber audience to but one number (from "La TraTiata," we think) bv herself. It was finely rendered, and elicited warm and continued applause. Miss Tower, however, declined to respond or allow others to do so, as tbe programme was very full. Special mention must be made of two small pianists, of not over 10 Tears apparently, tbe Masters Karl Banks and Earl Kallen baugh, who gave tbe march lroin "Norma" with a brilliancv and expression seldom reached by much older performers. . A floral display equal to that made by Florist Elliott yesterday is seldom seen in this or any other city. All day long the admiring crowds thronged the store and said, "Oh, how sweet," "Aren't they delicate," "What lovely roses " "Smell tbe violets." "See tbe orchids" "What beautiful windows," and enongh accompanied their exclamations of admiration with or ders for certain favorite flowers to keep the usual force of the store, with a number of extra olerki, busy from early morn until early morn. On either side of lhe store was a solid banking of tbe rarest and most beautiful of every rariety of flowers, roses of every de- I scription .and every color, some that, by their ' fragrance, made one think of the nionrh nf June and bees sipping tbe boney from tbe blossoms, others were truly magnificent iu their beauty, but lacked tbe fragrance. Other varie ties ol flow prs were as liberally and as gorgeously represented, and towering above ail in great profusion and glorj were the pure, white, ap propriately named, Easter lilies, that by their very purity and lack of coloring inspire holy thought. One of the most delightful social ventsof the week was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Flocker, of West End avenue, Allegheny, on Wednesday evening, in celebra tion of tbe fifth anniversary of their wedded life. AboutSO guests participated, wbobrongbt with them many handsome presents, among these being an elegant piano, tbe gift of Mr. Flocker to bis wife.

Tbe Fair Globe Glrdler In Contempt of n XfW York City Coort. New Yoke, April 5. Nellie Bly is in contempt of court. She was subpoenaed a short time ago to testify in behalf of the World in a suit brought by "Ed" Pheips, the Albany lobbyist, to recover damages for an alleged libel. Tbe libel complained of -was a sensational article published over Nellie Ely's name two winters ago, in which she pretended to expose Phelps' methods of securing legislation at the State Capital. Phelps declared that Nellie had manufactured her exposure from the sug gestions of her employers and her own imag ination, and brought suit to recover dam ages. The evidence of Nellie Bly was neces sary at tbe trial to prevent the proprietors of the paper from being mulcted in dam ages. When the case was called for trial Miss Bly did not appear, and judgment was en tered in favor of Phelps and against the World by default. Miss Bly is now liable to be arrested on an attachment if found within the State. She is reported to be at Buffalo, and may be arrested there. Miss Bly tried in every way to evade the service of a subpoena in the libel suit, but was finally caught at the time of her lnst lecture at the Union Square Theater. She accuses her manager, J. M, Hill, of playing a trick on her in order to have her served with tbe sabpeeua, and says he was in league with her late employers to force her to art pear in eonrt and -bolster tip the World's charge against Phelps. Mr. Hill denied Miss Bly's story. He called her hard names, and said she rode on an engine from Chicago to Milwaukee be cause it was one of her wild schemes. He said he had paid her up to date, and that she was a failnre as a lecturer. UPRIGHT PIANO. 8225. tqiare Piano, 8173; Parlor Orgnn, S33.

Irwin Bros. Co. Wokld's Museum Curiosities, Etc The above are the theatrical attractions for this week. The city of Pittsburg is well provided with theaters now, in definite prospect if not in the present. Mr. Henderson intends to build a theater on the Jackman property that will com pare with the best theaters in the country. He can be depended upon to give Pittsburg a theater of which she may be proud. Thero is less debnitencss abont A'vln Joslin Davis' project. He has bought a capital site for a theater, and he says he intends building a house of a gorgeons sort There is no reason to doubt that Mr. Davis is in earnest He has the money and he has the site. It is to be pre sumed that it will be a popular price theater. ... There is no ignoring the fact that Messrs. Gnlick & Co. and Mr. Harris are both too strongly intrenched in the affections of the theater-going public to think of giving up the fight in Pittsburg because two or three new thcateis come into the field. It can be taken for granted that Mr. Harris will build a new theater somewhere when he is forced to leave his present quarters, and It is also as certain as anything can be that Messrs. Gulick & Co. will build a new theater if thev are unable to get a renewal of their lease on theLibrary Hall prop erty. The Bijou Theater is a fixture in this city for a good many years to come. There is a stroncr nrobabllitv then that Pitts. burg will have no old theaters within a few years. Four or five new structures may bo confidently looked for. It will be just as well, too. V Miss Florence St. John ten years ago was the particularly bright star of a great comic opera company which held for some years tho little bandbox of a place called the Strand Theater, London. It was there In "Madame Farazt," wiku ai. Planus, iuiss vioiet uameron ana others well known, that I remember seeing Miss St. John. She was a clever actress and a very sweet singer then, and they say she bas improved greatly. Those who go to the Grand Opera House this week may expect to see a typical English burlesque. It is not a dra matic plant that grows well in American soil, bnt it bas charms, and in this case they are mostly feminine, I believe. In answer to an inquiry as to bow she came to go on the stage Miss St. John writes: "How did I come to go on the stage? That's a funny question. Why, to earn my livintr, I suppose, the same as other people do. When I first made my appearance it was at the a;re of & years, as a child pianist. I was never intended for the stage, however, until I was about 10 years of age, when tbey discovered I had a voice. Then I accepted small engagements. I really commenced in the profession when I was about 11 years of age; that was my first profes sional engagement. I opened at the city of Exeter, in Devonshire, at a diorama, and I sang in that. I did not act in that for about two years, and then I went in for small operettas: sort nf sketchy things they were. "I d gradually got on so that I could go into gran" opera, in which line I played for two years. I studied aud played 32 operas, but finding that the money was not large enough although I did not object to tbe hard work I gave my preference to comic opera with partic ular pleasure, as a manager offered me three times the amount of money I had been re ceiving. 1 have played tbe principal parts for ten years in London. I read in one of tbe newspapers here that lam the Miss St. John that came over to tbls country some little time ago and mado snch a failure and went back to England. Tbls is not true. I never have been here before and it is my first visit." V For Easter week a spectacular piece like "Spider and the Fly" is well chosen. It ought to draw great crowds to the Bijou Theater this week, HErBUKX Joints. The Programme. At the Bijou commencing to-morrow evening will be presented for the first time to Pittsburg the novelty of the season, tbe pantomimic bur lesque extravaganza and vaudeville company, Spider nd Fly," which has everywhere cored tbe greatest success. Burlesque extravaganza holds a place in tbe affections of the average amusement-seeker wbicb can be replaced by no other form of entertainment. The bright, catchy airs and sprightly dialogues, the ever changing trick pantomime work, so effectually clear tbe cobwebs from the tired brain that a ticket to witness a performance should become a standard prescription for melancholia. The extravaganza is in three acts and a prologue. Tbe prologue starts well, the intention being to show tbe struggle between knowledge and in dustry on one side and ignorance and idleness on tbe other, tbe one side being protected by the fairy queen JProgressa and the other by Anarchis. Each fairy with the intention of proving her theory taues a bov under her winn- tne Tspiuer" representing tne industrious youth and the "Fly" the idle boy. Tho two boys are transformed into clowns and upon them rest the baps and mishaps of the perform ance. Bessie Cleveland is a very pretty young lady, and as Queen Progressa plays her fairy like part with considerable abandon. Her voice is sweet and sympathetic, and ber selections are always redemanded witb emphasis. Her graceful appearance and acting ha. much to do with the successor the scenes in which she takes part. Miss Hilda Thomas, for several seasons the leading artist of tbe vaudeville stage, has a cultivated voice of considerable range aud power, and one of the best mimics on tbe En glisb stage, understands the arts of tbe actress by her coy and charming manner and is alwajs a prime favorite with ber audiences. During thecompan)'s visit to San Franci-co the pres ent season Bessie Cleveland and Hilda Thomas bad a novel experience. Some 60 members of tbe CaliforniaBicycle Club attended the theater in a body, out of compliment to the ladies, and at the close of tne performance unhitched the horses from their carriage and attaching silken cords, mounted their bicycles and drove tbe ladies in triumph to their hotel. "Spider and Fly" is slightly different from anything we have ever seen and will attract considerable at tention. George Edwabdes' London Gaiety Com pany will appear in tbe first production of London burlesque ever seen iu Pittsburg at tbe Grand Opera House, beginning to-inurrow evening, presenting "Faust Up to Date." The company is one of tbe best ever seen in tbls country, being headed by Europe's greatest burlesque and comic opera artist. Miss Flor ence St, John. Miss St. John is also one ot the noted beauties of tbe London stage. Mr. E. J. Lounen appears as Mephislopheles. He will sing tor tbe first time here "Enniscorthy," written by the composer of "Killaloo," and which has become universally popular in New York. Other members of tbe company are Auoie lynnyers, iiana joncs, unaries uanoy, and E. Vac.ittl, bringing up with the chorus ot 100 lovely beings with even luvelier voices. There bas been a large advance sale of seats, indicating an enormous week's business. The company arrive to-night by special train, which will give ample tlma to have everything in complete readiness for to-morrow night. Week commencing April 14 that trio of fun makers. Wills, Henshaw and Ten Brneck will present "Two Old Crouies" to the patrons of the Bijou Theater. Hilarious fun and popular music will be furnished by tbls talented com pany of comedians and pretty girls. Tbe piece is said to be a laughing success without regard to tbe fact that it is devoid of plot or situation. It is not even continuous, but is a jumble of vaudevillti skits. Intermingled with no less than 20 musical numbers. Frank M. Wills bandies the role of German professor in an able man ner.and Henshaw has a wonderful command of bis long legs. Tbe music is all good and new, so it is said, and is one of tbe features of the play. Tbe company is good aud ought to pass muster before the most critical audiences. There is very little sense in "Two Old Cronies," but as an entertainment it holds a leadingplace in performances of its kind. , At Harry Williams' Academy of Music the attraction this week is the Irwin Brothers' Big Specialty Show. Its ranks include La Moudue, a marvelous fellow in bis specialty, which con sists of doing things on a wire that "seem in credible; the comedians, Richmond and Glen roy, are capital fun-makers; Gordon and Lick are musical grotesques; Riley and Wolfe are experts with tbe harp and In song and dance, and Hamlin and Hamlin are known of old. Then there are the Sankey Brothers, contor tionists, and the bar performers, Emar and Gregory. The McCartheys. character change artists, make their first appearance in this city, and Al Reeves and his banjo will appear after a flvo vears' absence from Iron City audiences. The Newcomb trio and tbe handsome and talented Ida Lillian Abrams, conclude this varied list of mirth and melody makers. TnE World's Museum bas an entire change of bill this week. Among the many new curi osities are George Ltppert, tbe three-legged Bavarian; Big Alice, one of tbe largest dusky maidens on earth; Tom Wilkinson, with a beard 6 feet I inches long, and Prof. Angelo, with his flock of performing birds wbo will play a complete drama. The World Great Specialty Company No. 2 will also give a lOcent variety show containing many nevel acts. "True Irish Hearts," a picturesque Irish drama in five acts, by Dan McCarthy, will be presented at Harris' Theater to-morrow even ing before a large and appreciative audience. The piece is a little out of the general run of Irish plays, as there is something like a plot in it, and It is developed by an excellent cast, in which Dan McCarthy takes tbe leading role, Lanly Lannigan. a fun-loving Irishman with a "true Irish heart." Stage Wbispen. Minnie Palxeb bas a new; play called "Fool's Mate." H. T. Young, of Allegheny, will join Sells' Bros.' circus on the Uth inst. There are still two new theaters to be heard from Mr. Pat Harris' and Messrs. Gulick & Uo.'s. Mr. Wilt is also looking for a site for a new theater. One of the principal points for Mr. Hender son to remember in bis new theater Is ventila tijn. There is not a decently ventilated thea ter in .rittsnurg. James T. Powers will not be a member of Rudolph Aronson's .'asino Company next sea son. He is to star in a new farce comedy under the management of Rich & Harris. The Easter souvenir puzzles given to the first 5C0 persons purchasing reserved seats at the Bijou, fur the "Spider and Fly" next week, have created such a furore that the manage ment will issue another 500, beginning Monday morning 9 A. u. The ingenious McGeachv, manager of "Old Jed Prouty," has sent Easter eggs all over the country to his friends. TnE Dispatch is in receipt of one bearing the inscription: "Down Easter eeg, fresh laid for TnE PrrrSBUBO DlPSATcn by 'Old Jed Prouty,' Buckport, Me. McCarthy's "One of the Bravest" Com pany will pass through this city to-day en route to Cleveland. Mr. J. A. Reed, formerly of the Grand Opera House, is managing the company, and is said to be meeting with great success. Their magnificent car containing the fire en gine and trained horses used in tbe piece, will be attached to the train. Pauline L' Allejiand, who made such an excellent impression here when she sang with th j Boston Ideals last season, has been engaged uy it n io i pn Aronson lor tno uasinn uompany, New York. She will make her first appearance next snmmer. The managers of the comic opera comDantes are beginning to seo tbe ne cessity of getting singers and actresses. Pau line L' Allemand is a treasure to any company. Miss Marie Wainwbioht has decided not to accept the offer made ber to take "Twelfth Night" to London this summer, as she feels unable to undertake the fatigue of a continu ous season. Her next tour will begin Septem ber 15 in Pittsburg and continue till May. Miss Wainwright has secured a Broadway theater for a long run of an elaborate new production in the fall of 1891. She will continue to play in "Twelfth Night" all of next season. General Shekjt an has secured two of the boxes at Proctor's Theater, New York, for the last three performances of "Shenandoah,-' April 19, and will have as guests on tho occa sion a number of prominent army officers. The event will be made a special one, many of the people of the original cast appearing witb tbe nresent enmnanv in different acts, and thA ef. feet of the retreat and rally at the end of act III. will be increased by the appearance of 100 regular soldiers from the navy yard. William H. Crane's season with "Tho Senator" at the Star will close May 10 He will return to this bouse September 1, and play a season of at least four months. It is more than probable that after next season Mr. Crane will become a permanent feature nf New York theatricals, occupying tbe Star continu ously during tbe season. In that event be will become a producer of plays, as Burton. Cole man and Matthews used to be. This will prac tically add anotherstock theater to New York's places of amusement, with a star comedian as the chief attraction. The powerful young actor, Robert Mantell, who made such a great success as Lorts in Sardou's "Fedora," will Impersonate Louis and Fabien del Franchi, the twin heroes of Alex ander Dumas' stirring romantic drama, "The Corsican Brothers," which is to be given a mag nificent spectacular production at the Bijou Theater during the week of April 1. Mr. Mantcll's Interpretation of these mystically umicu uiuiuvra u joueircu hid cuiumenua tion of the best critics, and his work has been favorably compared with Fechter and Irving, while tbe production from tbe scenic and spec tacular standpoint is considered the finest ever produced in this country. The managers of '-The Old Homestead" hayo finally decided not to produce the play in Lon don after all. It was to have been presented at tbe Princess' Theater May 23. and the time held for it there has now been offared to Bron son Howard for tbe production of "Shenan doah." Its acceptance or rejection will be set tled next Thursday by Mr. Howard and Al Hayman. Tbe English managers intend to produte the play with an English company, and to nse the scenery of tho organization now on its way from California. Mr. Howard has also received an offer from Charles Wyndbam for the production of "The Henrietta" at the Criterion during Mr. Wyndham's return en gagement in this country next season. NEWS ABOUT AKT. "Love's Symphony" is the title of a fine etching by F. M. Spiegel which may be seen at the leading art stores. Mr. D. B. Walkxey and Mr. H. S. Steven son will give an exhibition of their most recent works as soon as they have secured a room suitable for tbe purpose. The General Grant monument fund in New York now amounts to the sum of 150,000, and all designs thus far submitted have been re jected. This leaves the field still open for some talente j American sculptor. A RELIC or old times is on exhibition at Young's in tbe form of a portrait of Stephen Collins, a brother of Mrs Judgo McClure and Mrs. Judge McCanrlless. It was painted about 70 years ago by Sully, of Philadelphia. A large collection of fino oil paintings will be opened in tbe Gillespie gallery in the course of a week. It will consist exclusively of works by foreign artists, and will include especially fine examples of Henner and Schreycr. Perhaps the most novel exhibition of paint mgs that has yet been held in this city will open in the Gillespie gallery about the first of next week, to continue f or tbe -pace ot three or four day. The collection will consist of 37 water-color paintings by Madame Madeline Lemaire, designed to illustrate the French novel, "Flirt," ny Paul Hervien. These are the original designs for one or the must nota ble series of book illustrations of recent times, and will amply repay the trouble of a visit if only on account of their novelty, and aside from their merit from au artistic standpoint. These pictures are not for sale. Me. A. C. Wooster has a painting1 on ex hibition at Morrison's that is the largest and most complete work he bas yet produced, The subject is a still-life consisting of an ordinary chip oasket filled with rosy, red apples, fan old stone jug, and some game ducks laid withtbeir heads hanging over tbe edge of the table. There is a greater variety of form in Hhis picture than in any of Mr. Wooster's previous works, with the result that it is proportionately more pleasing and attractive. Tbe birds also lend an additional contrast of color that has heretofore been wanting lu his pictures, and, as this aids materially in emphasizing tha color quality of the other objects, the advantage is, at once apparent, n iuo iuiouau ueen covered with a cloth, and tbe objects upon it relieved against a background of almost any kind of drapery tbe picture would, have had double Its present value. MR. Will S. Reynolds exhibits one of his characteristic still-life studies at Boyd's. Tho subject consists, like most of his recent pro ductions, of a representation of hard-outlined objects such as books, a cigar box, newspaper, pen and bottle of ink, a pair ot spectacles, a candle, an old clay pipe, some matches, etc. Such a collection of objects presents an. ap pearance sufficiently formal in themselves, but Mr. Reynolds seems to have invested bisjiaiot ing with a degree of hardness much greater even than the different articles would naturally possess when grouped together to form a sub ject for a picture. Aside from the chilling and repellant quality due to this severity of out line, and in some measure also to the flat tone of color accorded to each of tbe different ob jects, the work has been very well bandied. The drawing throughout Is accurate, and the color, with tbe single exception of tbe tin cup in tbe corner, is trntbl ul. but it lacks variety of tone, and the entire work may be said to be de void of texture. There is a humorous refer ence to tbe lattst popular by-word in tbe title of a book resting on tbe table which reads "Ancient Humor, Tragedy of McGinty," and a cigar box above it bears the inscriition "Hashish." One may be pardoned for u onder ing why it is that a man who can paint as well as this picture has been done does not do still better, as he assuredly might do if he would pnt a little more spirit and freedom into his work. A quarter of a century will have elapsed on Wednesday next since one of tbe greatest events In the history of the United States, namely, that of the surrender at Appomatox of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, through General Robert 15. Lee, to General U. S. Grant, in command of tbe Army of tbe Po tomac., That memorable occasion and the stirring scenes and incidents of those exciting times will be vividly recalled through several celebrations to be held in -this vicinity this week. The programme for Post 12S's celebration at Carnegie Music Hall on Wednesday evening is something fine. It needs only to be seen to be appreciated, and once seen the desire to enjoy it becomes strong. Here it is: part first. Organ prelnde ".Night Alarm" (descriptive) .Fred A.

Miss Sadie Cartrignt; organist, Fred A. East; band director. Prof. Cbas. Gaston. Owing to the thousands of applications for iuvitations and tbe limited capacity of the hall it is positively necessary that the strictest measures be adopted in regard to admittance. No person will be admitted without an invita tion and one invitation will adroit only two per sons. Many will be disappointed, and this the post regrets deeply, but it is unavoidable. The souvenir programme is highly artistic The cover represents the American flag with "12S" on one of the stripes on the front. Inside are four pages. On the first an announcement of tbe occasion, on tbe second and third the pro gramme and on the fourth some information concerning the post, namely, the Com manders since its organization on Au gust 13, 1679, who were: In '79, '80, 'XI 'K1 'K tinrf 'KU Thn,nqa tt. Bnm. In 'S3 and '84 Charles W. Gerwig; in '88, David M. Morrison; in '87. Thomas D. Holmes, and in '88, David G. Jones: number of recruits mustered. OS; number of deaths, 67; number now in good standing, 300: amount expended for charitable purposes, 513,000; and the names of tbe present officers of the post. The whole affair will be one of surpassing grandeur. By the way, iu view of tbe fact that this is a free entertainment and of such high merit, the comrades think It is too baa that a city like Allegheny mnt charge a subordinate branch of an organization like the Grand Army of the Republic, a big price for one evening's use of tbe hall of tbe building that was a gift to tbe c)ty. The regular monthly meeting of Post 259 will be held on next Tuesday evening, and as it will be tbe eve of the twenty-Hub anniversary of the Appomatox surrender the meeting will be a celebration of tbat event. Department Com mander Joseph F. Denniston will officially visit the post. It is expected tbat a large num ber of visiting comrades will be present, and the response to a neat little notice sent out to the members of Post 259 will doubtless be com pletely satisfactory. Commander Smith re quests that, as this probably will be the only opportunity during the year that the Department Commander will have of visiting Post 269, every comrade be present. Post 88 has decided to attend in a body. Post 162 will probably attend also. A programme has been arranged on which are: Address by Department Commander Denniston: address of welcome to tbe Department Commander and visiting comrades by Chaplain Riddle; reciu. tion by Comrade W. R. Thompson: short ad dresses by Past Commanders of Post 259 and visiting comrades; installation nf Senior Vice Commander-elect, and other Interesting feat ures. All members ot the Grand Army are in vited to be present. Post 151's celebration at Odd Fellows' Hall on Wednesday evening bas been well covered in tbe Grand Army column. Tbe programme is of an excellent order. Several nromineut veterans will De present ana take part. Gen eral A. L. Pearson will preside. Dr. E. A. Wood will deliver tbe opening address, and Depart ment Commander Denniston will address the meeting. Vocal and Instrumental music, select readings, etc., will be features. With its cus tomary kindness to Post 151. the Select Knights' Band has volunteered its services. The details of Post236's celebration atTurner Hall, Allentown, on Wednesday evening were well covered in tho .Grand Army column last Sunday. All arrangements bave now been com pleted. Tbe meeting will be an open one. and all friends of tbe Grand Army are Invited to be present. An enjoyable evening is assured all wbo may attend. All comrades and tbeir friends are cordially invited to attend Post loTs open celebration of the anniversary of Lee's surrender next Thurs day evening at tbe post room, corner of Fifth avenue and Price street. Ppeeches, songs and stories will make the affair enjoyable. A programme of much prospective enjoyment has been arranged lor the campfire celebration to be held by Post 230 on Wednesday evening at its ball, corner of Center avenue and Erin street. For the Widow nml Orphans' Fund. The "Drummer Boy" was a complete success, artistically, dramatically and financially. En thusiastic and appreciative audiences filled tbe Bijou at every one of the eight performances, and they enjoyed the most successful presenta tion tbe popular play ever bad in Pittsburg. The person selected for each character was well fitted for the part, tbe portraying of each character showed that careful and conscien tious study bad been given It, and tbe result was a harmonious blending which rendered the stirring story natural and realistic The scenic and property arrangements were most satisfactory and an attention to details was apparent, which, in a presentation by amateurs, was remarkable. The committee is to be especially commended for its departure in tbe matter of tbe appearance of the Confed erates. Heretofore the play rebels have been made somewhat of a burlesque, this time their proper soldierly bearing and appearance was carefully looked after and the result was most gratifying and was favorably commented upon. Great credit Is due all who labored so faith fully inltbe noble work. Tbe Widows and Or phans' Fund of Post 3 will be increased beyond all expectations. Financially the presentation's success exceeds all previous ones. Grnnd Army Note. Past Department Commander Stewart is sick. The Logan Monument fund now amounts to 12,089 92. Leon J. Long, as Uncle Joe, Is as usual a great success. Post 3 expects to have a large meeting to morrow evening. Comrade D. A. Jones, of Post 151, as Farmer Howard, is the peer of tbe best. Post 162 is arranging to send a large delega tion to tbe National Encampment. Comrade J. Milton Hays, in tbe charac ter of Mart Howard, nas many admirers. ' Comrade Daniel Ash-worth is every thing that could be desired as Colonel RuU ledge. (omrade Brady's personal appearance adds much interest to tbe character of General Orant in tbe "Drummer Boy." Miss Obcutt and the other ladies who kindly assisted in Post S's presentation of the "Drummer Boy," all did well. Comrades Bernard Rmitb, John Rudolph, Fritz, Kauffield and John Helnemnn. of Post 15L are rejoicing oyer tbeir Good Friday gilts. A syndicate is being formed of Northern capitalists to purchase Appomattox and con vert It into a national camping ground or pub lic park. Major General Daniel E. Sickles bas been appointed Sheriff of the city and county or New York. This is pleasing to his former comrades in arms. Post 2S6 will bold memorial services on Decoration Day this year in the Soutbside cemetery. A committee has been appointed to make sxrangements. Department Commander Denniston yesterday received official notification of bis election to the City Trrasurership. His vote was something big 29,863. The discharge certificate of W. H. Burke, Company E, Seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, bas been found, and is in the possession of De partment Commander Denniston. General Alger. Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R.. has been received by the com rades In the different departments he bas vis ited with the greatest enthusiasm. Comrade B. Coll, of Post 157, who has been for many years with the Westinghouse Air brake Company, bas left that firm and is now in tho plumbing business ror himself. An enjoyable feature of tho meetings of Post 157 is the singing of the post quartet, led by Comrade X. S. Rees, and accompanied on the organ by Comrade Dick McClatchey. Major W. G. Lowry Post No. 548, Wil kinsburg, forwarded to tbe treasurer of the Soldiers' . Widows Home fund at Hawkins Statiin, 1525 toward the purchase of tbe place. Comrade William McAdams, of Post 157. died on last Wednesday, and was burled by bis post on Friday afternoon. He served In Com pany D. Sixty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers. Commander T. McCune. P. J. Hodge and C. Stewart, of Post No. 548, G. A. R., are a standing "Boston Committee" to make ar rangements for attending Boston encampment. Comrade George S. Wood, of Post 4L and bis family bave the sympathy of comrades ana friends in their bereavement by the death of their 20-year-old daughter and sister Matilda. The funeral will be this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Post 123 last Thursday evening opened tbe books for tbe names of those who are going to the National Encampment at Boston. Ac cording to tbe Indications. 75 to 100 will attend. The matter of a route Has not yet been de cided. Charters bave been Issued for the Institu tion of Encampments Nos. 63 and 63, Union Veteran Legion. The former is to be located at Manayunk. Philadelphia, and the latter at Kittanning. By request Quartermaster Gen eral Taylor, of the G. A. R.. will institute 62. The fifth annual reception of Garfield Circle No. 15, Ladles of tbe G. A. R., will be held at Penn Incline Hall to-morrow evening. A fair will also be Inaugurated, to continue for two weeks. There will be dancing every evening. The proceeds will be devoted to the Soldiers' Widows' Home project. AO.A.R, comrade who bas attended sev eral national encampments, would recommend the Department Commander to instruct com manders of posts going to Boston Angnst next to have each comrade wear a blue ribbon with Pa." or "Penna." attached to badge similar to mat worn oy post an at tne iinwaus.ee en campment. The paper read by Judge Over last Monday evening before Encampment No. 1, Union Veteran Legion, on bis regiment, tbe Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, was one of the most in teresting of the series yet delivered. It is ex pected tbat Judge Slagle will talk to-morrow night on the One Hundred and Forty-ninth Regiment. DnRlNG the grand parade at Milwaukee last September, and while Post 128. ot Allegheny City, moved proudly down Grand avenue,cheer after cheer was given for "Old Pittsburg." Now, as Pittsburg had no post in line, was it not stealing Allegheny's thunderf Query, is Allegheny known outside ot our State limits? If so, how far? After a severe illness of -about 11 weeks. Comrade W. O. Russell, of Post 151, was able to be out last week, and yesterday be came over from the Sontbslde and bis band was shaken by a legion ot comrades aud friends. He bas been much missed at bis post's meet ings, and his comrades hope to have him witb them next Tuesday evening. Ex-Senator Hood, of Post 28, Indiana, Pa., yesterday called on Department Commander Denniston, whom he invited, with his staff, to visit Post 23. A date will likely be fixed In tbe near future. It will probably be so arranged that the Department Commander can visit all the Indiana county posts at one general meet ing, it to be held at Indiana. In section 5 of the act relating to the taking of the eleventh census it reads that in the ap pointment of enumerators preference shall in all cases be given to properly qualified persons honorably discharged for military or naval service of the United States residing in their respective districts.

Good speakers will be in attendance and address the meeting. Comrade A. F. Nail, of Mansfield, O., man ager of the "Drummer Boy," during his stay last week increased his already great popularity among the local comrades, if such a thing be possible. He is well liked wherever be goes, and he is such a first rate, bail-fellow-well-met gentleman that it could not well be otherwise. He is a good all 'round actor and manager, and the success of tbe ''Drummer Boy" is largely attributable to this. Union Veteran Legion No. 6, of Alle gheny, has rented tbe new Bible House Hall, No. 54 Arch street, Allegheny, and will occupy it every Friday evening from April L The Ladies Auxiliary No. 1, also meets in the same hall every alternate Friday afternoon. The Legion and Auxiliary are In a flourishing con dition . having Initiations almost every meet ing. They voted and paid, a s a starter, $25 to tbe Soldiers' Widow's Home, at Hawkins' sta tion. They are a self-sustaining organization, ana have never called on tbe public for aid, and will not, as long as they have health and strength to support themselves. Their ball is one of tho finest in tbe two cities, and tbe worker element it contains, are men ana women wbo overcome all possible obstacles. Union Vrtrrnn Lralon. Since tbe announcement of General Pear son's appointment as one of tbe managers of Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, over 50 old veterans have applied to bim for admis sion to some of the as)ltini9.

Tbe Sol diers' Widows' Home fund will be helped to a fair extent, doubtless, in consequence. A Coffee Cooler'" Collections. An exceedingly interesting little volume is the work entitIed"Collections of a Co0ee Cooler," by S. Creelman, of Co. A., One Hundred and First Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers.
