"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.

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

Magnire, Aggie Barr, Minnie Carroll. Minnie
Gnnies, Lizzie Jones, Carrie EnseU Bertie

Velina Smith, Libbie Smith, Annie ShroaL
Lilhe Miller. 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

KELLIE BLI LIABLE TO AEEEST.
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.

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.

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

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

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

A large collection of fino oil paintings will

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

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

will deliver tbe opening address, and Depart

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

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

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.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
On the Female Face.
Superfluous hair is an excesive growth of
hair on the upper lip, chin, cheeks, throat, fore
head, between the eyebrows, on the nose and
ears; also on men's cheeks above the beard line
and from moles and birthmarks. It is surpris
ingly prevalent, we see it in the church, theater,
on the street and wherever ladies congregate.
This is one of tbe most distressing and annoy,
ing blemishes that any lady can bo afflicted
with.
The ue of depilatories, tweezers, scissors or
razors all make Ihese bairs grow harsher,
