ff ia THE PITTSBUBGr DISPATCH,, SUNDAY, MAT 18, 189a f9 tei W QPICKIC raw A bumble bee romance, in which an interest- " leg and handsome young bachelor was stung some three yean ago and has not fully recov- ered up to the present time, was charmingly related to me one day last week by the sufferer i himself. It was during a conversation, in which 1 was maklsg many futile attempts to certain which one of the Bcveral young .dles gossip and newspaper reports had de creed should become Mrs. Blank, would really do so, and when the ceremony would take clace that a bumble bee attracted my atten tion. It was a harmless, innocent-looking, dainty, fragile, little affair, made of gold and perched In the black -four-in-hand" tie worn by the gentleman. It was Tcry unique and odd, and I expressed my admiration of It. This pleased the owner who is noted for his immaculate linen, lovely ties and delicate scarfplns to such an extent that he gave me the romance associated with It, or else be saw an open avenue nf escape in re lating ancient experiences from the conversa tion regarding his more recent allegod affairs of the heart, which he had been enduring with HI concealed norvonsness. At any rate he becamo quite animated regarding the bumblo bee, and muui .. "You think it pretty, do youT Well, there is quite a story connected with that inslgnl&cant little pin." And upon my requesting blm tore feat it, for an old love nflalr is better than no love affair at all.ho leaned back in bis revolving office chair with a retrospective, eoitcned look In his brown eyes and brgan thus: "Three years ago," (a change, by tbo wav, from the usual formula, "Unco upon a time,") 'last January I, In company with a friend, started for Philadelphia. Tbo earlier portion of the trip we spent in tho smoking car, enjoy, lug our cigars ana laying plans lor a future political campaign. At last ho went Into tbo fiarlor car, and bow I did regret the lost time n tbe smoker hen I perceived a girlish virion of Sweetness and beauty occupying the chair behind mine. Of course gradually I turned my chair around, and well, to mako a long stary short anil hantcn over the minor detail". we became acquainted, and In a brief space of time became very good friends, as will some times happen when two congenial people aro thrown together In a long, tedious journey. "We discussed all the leading loplcs of the day, dlnod together at Harrlsburg, und ueie snow-bound together for six hnnrs, which I prayed might extend Into six neeks, so enrap tured was I with my fair companion, who was one of tho prettiest and must winning girls I have ever seen in my life. You know being snow-bound on a train does away with a groat deal of conventionality and formality, and it was such a delightful experience to have that little creature rofer to me so confidingly in everything that ere long I lound inynelf as deep Id love as the train was in the snowdrift. . "At last we arrived in Philadelphia, and, as I had hoped, her friends had become weary of ' waiting for tbe delayed train and departed, leaving me tho Joyful task of accompanying my companion in a cab to her home. Our part ing was Just tinged with sentiment, and I went to my to.el to think and dream of ray petite traveling companion, and resolved that, if pos sible, I would secure her for the journey through life. "My business in Philadelphia required hut one day in the transaction, and as my young friend had not invited me to call I returned to this city tbe follow lug day in a delicious state of anticipation, as she had promised to write to me. I watched tbe mails anxiously and at last a small box and a little square missive bearing tbe Philadelphia postmark arrived. How lov ingly I gazed upon the inscription of tho enve lope, written in a dainty, scrawly hand, and how eagerly I broko tbe seal j ou may imagine; and as the faint perfume with which the note was impregnated greeted me. and I read her pretty words of thanks for my attentions to her on our trip I was almost transported into the presence of my loved one. .. "Often times now when I am enjoying a cigar in the quiet of my own apartments, I see visions of tbe dear little girl in the curling smoke, and almost feel tbe gentle pressure of her white hand upon my arm, but" hero the narrathe suddenly ceased, and such a dreamy, far-away look took posse.-siou of the narrator that I feared for the conclusion of the romance and wondered If the lovely-young creature had died. Tbe silence became oppressive, and I ventured a 'Well." with a rising inflection, which, however, proved Ineffectual, and I con tinued with "What next 7" "What next T" reDeated the npimivnliarhnlnr "There wasn't any next. Her note was signed Mrs. Marlon Mautelle." The moral of this romance Is obvious, be urt she isn't married before you love her. TllOHNE BlljLHCK. Where JJenrU Dent In Unison. Mrs. William O.

TIS3U, LJei.J.Xi4AJsUfc l.i ART MATTERS HERE AND TDEBE, Tub character of the exhibitions held in New" York City, particularly tboie of tbe National Academy and tbe Society of Ameri can Artists, Is a good indication of tbe rapid advances which this country is making in tbe practice and appreciation of art. Tbe spring exhibitions of these two institutions have been unusually successful, both in the quality ot the pictures and number sold. ' Mb, Habvbt Jonnsn, ot Louisville, is an artist whose name is unfamiliar to the ears of Pittsburg people, but who is at present repre sented herebyapicturo on exhibition at Boyd's, entitled "A Kentucky Woodland." The work is effective in style of composition, but Is slightly bandied and rather crude In colon it has. however, sufficient merit to indicate that the artist has talent which only requires culti vating to develop. "Ox the Lower Potomac" is the title of tbe latest picture by Mr. E. A. Poole, a work which may now be seen at Boyd s. Tho subject is one of tbe class in which this artist does his best work, consisting of a stretch of level ground of a rather swampy description, ron ered interesting by the varied and pleasing character of its herbage, bounded in tbo dis tance bv an irregular clump of dark trees, tbe tops of which are sharply outlined against tbe sky. The latter feature of the picture is rather tame, and, though in good tone with tho bal ance of the work, might have been executed with greater strength both of color and hand ling. Mr. Poole's strong point is shown in the painting of the foreground. These Is a new picture by Mr. George Hetzel on exhibition at Boyd's. Its title, "On the Connoquenesslng,"' conveys an idea as to the class of the subject to all who are ac quainted with tbe waters of that picturesque stream. Its effect is one of peacefulness and repose, combined with a pleasing grace and beauty, without any striking or particularly impressive features. Tbe artist has cleverly reproduced the 'spirit of tbe scene upon bis canvas, and has rendered Us detail with truth fulness to nature by means of the careful and conscientious nanonng lor wnicn ne is noiea. The picture takes In quite an extent of terri tory, showing wooded hills upon the right, while the winding stream stretches back into tbe distance with skillfully managed per spective A soft gray mist pervades the scene, subduing all colors, even those in tho immedi ate foreground, tbe distance being blno with tbe effect of deep haze. This is a pleasing picture, in the "Hetzel" style throughout, both as regards handling and composition. Ik the art of furnishing, whether with regard to the entire house or a single- room, the ques tion of adopting tbe different features to their surroundings and to tbo use which Is to be made of them has more to do with tbe effective ness of tbe general result than any intrinsio ex cellence of design which tbe various articles may possess in themsolves. Each object should impress Itself upon tbe sight in a degree corresponding with Us relative Importance. Carpets should not Insist upon being notloed at tbe exnense of the furniture, and wall decora- .tlons mnst not cnmnntA In flncnratlva value I with tbo pictures which may be bung against r them. Unless the rmvorlnr- of the floor atrrrnt tin tone Willi that or tno wails It will bo ox- tremely difficult tosoarranirethe room In other t.respects that the want of harmony will not ii m, men unagreeauiy ieic ii me principal luiuuuru oi a neavy, suusiauuai aesenpuon, light, flimsy articles should bo excluded, save in exceptional cases, when they can be Intro duced with skill and judgment with a vlowto contrast and halanco of effect. In the samo way designs In wall paper, carpets, drapery, etc., should partake in some measuro of tho character ot tbe objocts with which they aro to be soon in contact! fine tracery and delicate shadings are only suitable wb-re lightness and airiness Is tbe key-note ot tbe composition, but tbe bolder and heavier patterns that accord with a more masslvo construction are not less graceful, while at the same time having addi tional claims on our regard as expressing a greater degree of character and dignity. All those interested in tbe Cno arts should pay a visit during the week to the Gillespie gallery, where thero is on exhibition a largo collection of pictures, both in oil and water colors, and also a number of specimens of Sevres art pottery. These works are the prop erty of Mr. Auguste Gross, of New York, who has also in his possession, though not upon ex hibition, a curiosity from India In the shape of a sacred cloth, the pattern ot which Is said to be woven in pure gold upon a foundation of vegetable fiber, resulting in a fabric of surpass ing richness and beauty. Mr. Gross gives a very interesting account of this remarkable cloth, both regarding tbe method ot Its produc tion and Its use at tho marriage of the Indian rajahs, after which it is bidden from sight in a room set apart tor tbe purpose. The oU paintings will be found of interest from tbo fact that there are a number by artists whose works are new to Pittsburg, but who are nevertheless of high standing, such as Caloscl. Ricci, Buisson, Faredes, Orison, De Francescbl, Sani, Bplri don and others. Tbe painting by Bplrldon is a fine work, showing tbe figure of a young girl, whose form may be plainly seen through the folds of some fleecy drapery, reclining at full length in an open boat guided by Cupid. Two companion piece, "The Letter" and "Its Recep tion, by Ricci, are well woriby of notice; thero is good expression in the faces of both the writer and the receiver. "The Blacksmith," by A. Caloscl. is flue in color and handling, and In Orison's "Checkmate" tbere is clever render ing of facial expression together with good painting of details. There are a number of works by Paredes, of which tbe smaller ones are the best, notably tho "Bull Fight;" the "Notre Dame," however, is also a very clever picture. "Sheep in the Fold" is a plea-lug picture by Brlsot, and "The Armenian" Is a fair piece of decoration by V. Uulsson. The style of Rico has been fairly well maintained by his pupil, De Frauceschi, in his painting "A Scene In Venice." Tho name "Daublgny." a familiar one to the art-loving people of this city, gives value to one of the largest pictures in the gallery, tbe "Villa Davray." and nearly opposite, is a Urge "Corot," In whlob those who go Into raptures over good, bad anil Indifferent works by this unlit will dnubtlens feel impelled to find something to admire. There aro many pictures worthy ot careful scrutiny, being really fine works by fatuous painters, such as Comple Calls' "Louis XVI," ll.nuer's "Water Nymph," a fine work la color and drawing! OeroiBB's "The Vapor llaibr" A. Haul's 'lgh(irutee" a Hue quality uetireyer. "Hiiles ou ilorsibsclti" a beautifully-colored tlieep picture by Jasque, and a bit ot woodland by Diss.

Ho is to appear In a melodrama at the BIJou Theater. Tbe appoarance of this distinguished Bostonlan in evening drers, for he is not to figure as a pugilist, will doubtless bring many admirers to his feet who would otherwise stay away. . On good authority 1 hear that De Wolf Hopper is making a success of his experiment as a star In New York. "Castles in tbo Air," after considerable compression and alteration, Is said to be a bright and amusing comic opera. Pittsburg will probably see it next season, V Margaret Mather is looking for a manager. What has become of Mr. Wlllougbby, who had charge of her interests when she played at tho Bijou this season, nobody knows. He told me that he had signed papers to manage Miss Mather for three years. 1 see that Mr. Otis Skinner, whose remarkably clever work in support of Booth and Modjeska was the bright spot in tbe bad work ot tbo company as a wtole. is to be Miss Mather's leading man. She could not have a better. She will produce "Joan ot Aro" at Palmer's Theater on September 1 for a ran ot tour weeks, contraot to that effect having been signed the other day. Mr. Crane's representative writes that next soason's repertoire for that excellent come dian who has slighted Pittsburg most un kindly this season will Include "The Senator," "King Henry IV." and "Tbe Merry Wives of Windsor."

The story of tbe farce is simple, yet possesses strength and Interest enough to allow a great deal of fun and specialty business to be built upon it The scene opens in the home of -Ificnael Jfudfo-an, a man a little fond of tbe ballet and of his cup. The introduction ot a couple of the dancers under the guidance of bis friend Dennii McCarthy creates an un pleasant situation for the man of the house, and he has some difndulty in disposing of his fair charmors, and unfortunately not before his wife has seen them.

He Is assisted this season by Madam Hermann and the Oriental fakir, Abdul Khan. He will Introduce for tbe first time In Pittsburg his latest and greatest sensation, "Florlne, Child of tbe Air."

But it will not be done without a strong protest from the organization through which the day was consecrated to the memory of those wbo died in the herolo defense of tbe nation. The following letter from one of the members was read at Monday night's meeting of Post 8: "Some time ago, within the past two weeks, I saw a notice In one of the papers that a contest between several universities would take place in Allegheny City on Memorial Day. I hope tbatour post will protest against our institu tions of learning and all other organizations selecting Memorial Day for any other purpose than that for which It was made a legal holiday. If tbo class ot institutions named above will disregard tbe day nn which all loyal citizens sbould honor and pay tribute to those who died in defense of our country, bow can we ever expect to bring others to fully realize the Importance ot the day. We have for years labored to have tbe general public discontinue picnics, ball games and other sports and join with us in honoring our dead, and now to have our colleges select the day for field sports, athletlo contests, etc., Is taking us back to the time when no one but the soldiers honored tbe day." The matter was warmly commented upon by tbe members and wltb the sense ot tbe post, that "Post 8 stands to a man against any dese cration of the day, or its observance as a holiday In any manner other than tho sacred one of honoring our dead comrades." was re let red to the Memorial Day Committee with Instructions to bring tbo matter before tho General Committee. memorial Day la Allegheny.

GOSSIP OF THE GUARDS. The Inspection ot Battery B takes place next Thursday evening, and Captain Hunt has is sued invitations to tbo event. The inspection of the Tenth Reglmont this spring was one of the best tbat organization ever passed. Colonel Hawkins has kept up his reputation as a bustler. All members of Company K, Fourteenth Regiment, are requeued by Captain Jackson to be present at Central Armory on Tuesday evening, May 20, at 8 o'clock for drill. Company D, Eighteenth Regiment, pro duced the finest set of non-commissioned offi cers of any company so far inspected. Tbey were complimented by Major Patterson for their efficiency. The finest armory in the Second Brigade Is said to be the one at Bradford belonging to Company C of the Sixteenth Regiment. The second best is at Oil Citv, belonging to Com pany u oi tne same regiment. The election for Colonel In the Third Regi ment will take place tbe latter part of this month. Tbe bitter feeling existing between the two factions in the regiment Is rapidly dying out, and the re-election of Colonel Son affon is now assured. THE Board of Managers ot the West Penn Hospital have about decided not to hold the military field day at tbo Exposition grounds in Allegheny, on June 7, as that data has been se lected for tbe annual picnic of the Amalgama ted Association, and many people would thus be kept away from tbe, former event A portion of tbe equipments of the Fifth Regiment.

Tbe bat teries of this regiment bave been stationed in tbe far West for many years, but havo lately been assigned to some of tbe garrisons in the Division of tbe Atlantic John W.

One of the causes Is tliat tho last meeting was so painfully illayat and unconventional In workings that Gen eral Wylle was compelled to call an other one In order to try and square mat ters. At tbe last meeting all applicants wsro Sassed with the exception of Lieutenant Joseph ackson, ot the Fourteenth Regiment, and the latter gentleman has assorted lie will contest the aauon nf tbe board beforo be accepts the decision. The number of applicants at the next meeting of tbe board must necessarily be rather slim. The past week finished up tho inspection of six' of tbe companies of tbe Eighteenth Regi ment, and tbe remaining three companies will be put through tbe test tbe latter part of this week. The Inspections were most thorough In every detail, and It is safe to say Major Pattor son has a pretty fair Idea of tho condition of tbe different organizations. With few excep tions the work showed tbat tbe sobool nf the noo-commlsloned officers had boen neglected.
