Wash your own china, ladles. That it the
ttry latest fashionable mandate from orer the
ocean. Don't think for a moment, though,
that it is necessary, in order to obey the com
mand, to don a generous sized kitchen apron
and simultaneously with the china make your
exit from the dining room, and remain in
proximity with the delicate ware until it is
ready to return to its place in the closet.
Jo, indeed. China cleansing under such cir
cumstances and with such environments would
never make a successful debut in polite so
ciety, as it has already done with its many mod
ifications. The fad comes from Germany, and
on account of its novelty and commendable
features is receivine almost as much attention
at the hands ot society leaders as if it had a
title,
My attention was called to It in South Park,
that charming little suburb of Chicago, whose
claim to aristocracy is only exceeded by ex
clusive Kenwood or excruciatingly proper
Evanston. or Heavenston," as its residents
fondly call it. Several luncheons have been
given there by recently returned tourists, at
which not only the hostess and ber assistants
united in cleansing the pretty ware with which
they had been served, bat each lady of the
party was invited to handle the tea towels.
And such tea towels as are used in the
process band-embroidered, knotted, fringed
beauties that excite pity as well as admiration
when their shimmering satin damask surface is
dampened br contact with the fragile and
lovely but till dripping china, but that is one
of the commendable features hitherto referred
to.as the hostess is thus allowed an opportunity
of displaying any amount of her pretty linen;
and the aprons worn by the ladies and furnished
by the hostess are the daintiest' little creations
imaginable another commendable feature as
the possessor of aprons that are "perfect
loves r is thus given the most excellent oppor
tunity of proclaiming herself an apron queen.
..
Provided with aprons and tea towels the
ladies men are never included in a luncheon
or tea where china cleaning is to be the sequel
gather round an exquisite solid brass rack,
which is placed in one corner of the dining
room, and upon which the aprons and towels
have reposed during the luncbeon or tea.
Solid silver vessels filled with moderately warm
" water are then placed upon the rack, whose
grooved rubber covering forms a perfectly safe
place to drain the Dresden or donlton after it
has been tenderly and carefully baptized in the -J
waters cy ine Hostess.
. After which the pretty towels aud the pret
tier ladles dry the different pieces, and they
are placed in the china closet without once
passing through the hands uf servants, thus
preventing said servants from gratifying their
acknowledged penchant for "crushed china,"
and prolonging the lite of this exquisite cup
and saucer, or that adorable plate, which is the
most commendable feature of the importa
tion. .
Beside looking after their china on state
occasions Chicago society is riding the safety;
in fact, the popular boulevards are perpetual
motion, as the wheels of every variety go
spinning along carrying the youth, beauty and
wealth of the city. And the costumes worn by
the riders are wonderfully beautiful, severely
plain, gorgeously fantastic and charmingly
fitr.ple, in every conceivable color and texture.
The riders are blondes, brunettes, large,
small, graceful, awkward, experts and novices,
some of them bearing the scars of their ama
teurishness npon tbctr noses or foreheads,
which court plaster does not entirely screen
from view, but which apparently dues not in
terfere in any way with the enjoyment of the
results nf their earliest efforts.
And the fair riders as well as those of the
sterner sex utilizes their wheels as a method of
locomotion in viewing all the unoccupied real
estate in and surronndlng the city, in which
they invest their spare cash with the sanguine
expectation that it will bo doubled and trebled
by the World's Fair boom that has already so
thoroughly aroused speculators all over the
city and succeeded in making real estate
cranks ont of so many people, and among them
some ladies who have opened real estate offices
and are building castles of vast magnitude
upon the expected returns of their business.
..
The World's Fair, considering it does not
materialize (if even in Chicago) until '93 be
comes really monotonous as a continned topic
ot conversation, and ouo really longs to view
some spot that has not been decorated with
pictures or lettering regarding it. or meet some
person ot Hip van Winnie tendencies that will
nt assail you with accounts of the proposed
splendor or retail some remarkable property
transfer that netted 100 per cent all on account
of the fair.
The parks even, in their decorations, bespeak
the triumph over New York and vast worlds
composed of the plant variety known as "hen
and chickens" boom up trom magnificent floral
suoports and in brilliant flowers announce
"World's Fair '93." You, who are making
your calculations to go, nowever, and spend a
few weeks with some dearly loved friend dur
ing the time of the celebration, be sdre that
the dearly loved friend is longing for your com
ing and has not done as so many are doing in
anticipation nf the influx of their loved friends
broken up housekeeping and engaged rooms
and board.
Indeed, such is a fact, and to a far-seeing In
dividual it is a very wise proceeding for people
who have an extended acquaintance through
out the country, as it leaves them priviledged
to entertain those whom they especially desire
to have with them without compelling them to
keep a hotel for the benefit of their numerous
acquaintances. As one dear little lady said to
me: "You see, I have a folding bed and ono
guest room in our suite of apartments, and I
Kill be ablelo have my most intimate friends
with me. but will not have accommodations for
the many whose society would make the season
a very wearisome one for me."

The report that the Department of Georgia
had, acting for the national body, purchased
the Andersonville stockade, has caused some
guessing on the part of Pittsburg and Alle
gheny comrades as to what the Grand Army is
going to do with the historic place if the report
is true. Many of the comrades were at a loss
to account for the purchase, and wondered to
what use the ill-fated pen could be put.
The guess of one comrade was probably not
far from the facts. As all the posts are aware,
some of the Southern departments have a
heavy burden upon their shoulders In the shape
of the annual docoration of thousandsof graves
of Union dead. Annual appeals for funds to
assist in this work are made to the Northern
departments. The comrade mentioned above
is of the opinion that the prison is to be turned
into a source of revenue in order to help In de
fraying the expenses of Deroration Day in the
Soutb.tbuslna measure relieving the Northern
posts, which need all the money they can get
and more for the purposes of charity.
Reception by Mra. Locnn.
Department Commander Denniston is busily
engaged in arranging matters for tbe Benefit
next Saturday for tbe West Penn Hospital, of

Post 157 decided to purchase 60 tickets at SI a
piece and sell them among the members at 60
cents. Thus many will be enabled to go who
might not be able to pay the lull price, the
military display will' begin at the Exposition
grounds at 3 o'clock and continue for probably
two hours. The concert in the evening at
Mechanical Hall by tne famous Marine Band
will be a rare treat. It was, ot course, ex
tremely difficult to secure the great band lor
this occasion (a Cabinet meeting was necessary
before the requisite order could be secured)
and Major Denniston reports that it would
have been much more difficult were it not that
the West Penn Hospital takes care, without
charge, of a number of sick veterans.
The presence of the wife of the first Com
mander in Chief of the Grand Army, Mrs. Gen
eral John A. Logan, will interest the comrades
generally. During the intermission on Satur
day night's programme she will present to the
veterans of the hospital on behalf of James

Ex-Confederates nnd the Grant Monument.
This reproduced message, which was sent to
the daily press last week, will be read with in
terest by all old sojdiers and tbeir friends:
"On the night before the unveiling of the Lee
statue, a score or more of ex-Confederate offi
cers were sitting iu the Westmoreland Club at
Richmond. One of them, now a resident of
New York City, spoke of the resolution offered
by Representative Flower, asking Congress to
give 250,000 toward building the monument
that New York City promised to erect to Gen
eral Grant. Tbe speaker did not approve of
the resolution, bnt said tbat if New York has
not raised the money for the monument before
tbe 1st of September he intended,to start a sub
scription of Southern men and 'bead it with
520.000 for the purpose ot erecting tho monu
ment. There was a momentary silence, when a
leading ex-officer rose and said: 'I agree to add
5.000 to your subscription.' Then in quick
succession others rose and pledged various sums
until within a tew minutes S50.000 had been thus
raised."
Comrade Lrmon, of Post 157. Assaulted,
The comrades of Post 157 are talking of one
of their members, who came to grief one day
last wee.'; at the bands of a cowardly fellow
workman. Comrade Tom Lemon is a driver
for tbe wholesale house of Joseph Home & Co.
A colored man is also a drivor for the same
firm. Tbe story goes that Comrade Lemon,
who is a quiet, good-natured man, asked tbe
colored man to drive his wagon a short piece up
the allcv back of tbe store and allow him to
pass with his team. The colored man demurred
and there were some words. It finally resulted
in Lemon being approached from behind and
assaulted by tbe otber driver. A boulder was
used in tbe attack, and tbe unfortunate com
rade was jumped upon. He will not be able to
leave his homo for at least a week in conse
quence. His comrades say he was entirely
without blame in the matter. He was uncon
scious for several hours after the attack. As
be Is an excellent comrade, this misfortune
causes considerable talk In tbe post.
A Grateful Sight to the Veterans.
A gratifying feature of the observance of last
Memorial Day was the increased interest taken
in the services by the school children. This is
commendable, bath on the part of the rising
generation itself and on the teachers and
principals. The growing interest was probably
more manifest on last Memorial Day than on
any previous one. It is a source of great com
fort to tbe old soldiers who are steadily march
ing on to honored graves, being taken as an in
dication of the future interest in Memorial
Day, an interest that will not die out with the
death of the last Union veteran.
Post 157 was very well pleased with the turn
out of the children of tbe Sobo School. Tho
children, who probably ranged, from 10 to 15
years, walked clear out to the Oakland Ceme
tery in the hot sunshine. Their singing was
very pleasing to the old soldiers, who are grate
ful to tbe scholars, to Miss Lauden, the princi
pal, and to Prof. Rinehart.

BrlUSfl AND PALETTE.
Miss Ella Barnes has a rather effective
oil portrait of hor brother on view at Young's.
Mb. & A. Poole's painting. "On the Lower
Potomac," was sold by Boyd & Co. during the
week.
About 20 oil paintings and a large number
of water colors were disposed of from tbe
Gross t Lane collection during the time it has
been in this city, the prices ranging up to $8C0
eacb.
The landscape by Mr. Harvey Joiner, ex
hibited at Boyd's, hardly shows as much merit
as a similar work by tbe same artist noted a
short time ago. Tbe composition is of much
tbe same character, and the handling is no bet
ter, while the color ia greatly inferior.
The portrait shown at Young's of Mrs.
Donnelly, by Mr. Clarence Johns, recalls some
of the clever works which tbat artist produced
in former times, when he followed art more
assiduously tban he has done of late years.
It is regarded as a striking likeness, and shows
some excellent touches both in the matter of
color and handling.
There is a beautiful little "Hetzel" on exhi
bition at Gillespie's, a small and simply bandied
study of rocks, such a collection of rounded
bouluers as frequently forms the bed of a
mountain torrent. As a backgroundsome dark
trees raise their mantel of rich green, which, on
the left of tbe picture, is relieved by a gleam of
sunlight that has penetrated to tbe depths ot
this forest glade. In color, this Is one of Mr.
Hetzel's truthful transcripts of nature; it is
such color as is seen on a bright, sunny morn
ing after a night of rain, and its bright tints are
strong by reason of their contrast with the dark
masses of shade. Tbe entire work has been
carefully and conscientiously handled and can
not fail to please those who desire to feel the
touch of nature rather than art.
Botd & Co. exhibit a fine example of Het
zel's large landscape work. Except as regards
composition it does not differ materially from
otber works by tbe same artist, but in this one
respect it has a charming freshness that affects
one like a view of a beautiful and unfamiliar
scene. The subject is a clear space in the
midst of a wood through which a road winds
away into the distance, where a glimpse is af
forded of some wooded hills. To the right of
the road a toot path leads in among the trees
through tbe scant undergrowth. In the fore
ground is clearly depicted all the mass of de
tail characteristic ot Pennsylvania forest scen
ery; decaying stumps of trees, twisted and
gnarled branches, fallen leaves, shrubbery,
grass and herbage are all shown with truth and
fidelity to nature.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
YorE is one of tbe most important institutions
of its class in tbe country, but its treasures
have been for the most part bidden from tbe
view of tbe very persons who stand most in
need of the institutiou which a sight of them
affords. Being open only for a few hours dur
ing the day, at a time when the average man is
engaged in the necessary work of earning his
living, the museum is familiar to but a small
minority ot those who might have benefited by
its inuuence. lsui now it is to oe opened on
Tuesday and Saturday evenings, as the man
agement has arranged for a complete system of
electric lighting In connection with the Prink
method of redectors. This is a move In the
right direction. No race of people under the
sun take less recreation than the Americans,
and none stand in greater need of it; and there
is no better recreation tban an hour or two
spent in a gallery of art, or a museum of curi
osities. This is a most reflued pleasure, and in
duces a healthful mental activity while per
mitting an almost perfect rest of those facul
ties which are exerted most in the ordinary
affairs of life. Very liberal art patrons are to
be found among tbe wealthier classes of the
American people, but there is room for a
greater extension of artistic taste among the
masses oi our ousy populace.
"A Modern Fishing Otjtitt" is Mr. A. F.
King's latest addition current art, that is, be
has recently produced a painting to which he
has given this title. The subject is a still-life,
consisting of such objects as a rod and line, a
popular deck, including chips, a large stone
jug marked "bait," a paper bag containing
lemons, a corn-cob pipe, tobacco, tin cup, etc.
These articles have been skillfully arranged,
forming a pleasing composition; they are well
drawn, and with some tew exceptions, are cor
rect in color. The paper around the lemons
show faulty execution, the modeling being
effected by means of color in place of light and
shade; it is also too obtrusively evident that
the glistening surface of the tin cup has been
produced by a play of black and wnite paint.
Aside from these features the picture must be
rated as a highly creditable production; there
is, it is true, a certain hardness and formality
about the work, but that is a quality almost
inseparable from such a subject when handled
iu a style which aims at reali-m together with a
complete finish nf detail. The picture might
have been broadly handled, with only one or
two of tho more prominent objects carefully
delineated, and the balance merely suggested
with a few free bold touches, it would then
present a softness and feeling that it now
lacks, but these two methods of painting are
radically different; they are both good art, and
it is only a matter of Individual choice which is
preferred. It is plain that Mr. King is still
nrogressing. as this picture has some nolnts in
which it is superior to anything of the kind
that he has heretofore shown.
Six hundred dollars worth of pictures were
sold at the Hacke gallery during the week,
which is doing very well, indeed, when all the
circumstances are taken Into consideration!
The gallery is as yet by no means filled, but a
large lot of paintings are expected to arrive at
an early date. The exhibition of works by
local artists arouses a considerable degree of
interest, permitting, as it does, a comparison of
their individualities and peculiarities. Some
new pictures have been received of which tbe
most striking, perhaps, is that by E. A. Poole,
entitled "A Virginia Peach Orchard." The
subject represents a fine landscape, toned in an
effect of soft grey with subdued greens in the
foreground from which also rises a long row ot
peach trees in bloom. Tbis is rather a daring
picture as regards its scheme of color. Mr.
Poole's painting cannot he regarded as an un
qualified success, but nevertheless be deserves
great credit. He has found it difficult to recon
cile tbe peculiar pink tint of the blossoms
which cover tbe f oeground trees with tbe quiet
tones of tbe landscape, but the effect is very
novel and so is possessed of a peculiar charm.
A second picture by the same artist is called
"Apple Bloom." This is a hamonious ar
rangement of quiet coloring", tbe mass of
DioBsoms uii uio wcca uciug interspersed with
green which enables the artist to more easily
preserve a balance of effect than in tbe first
mentioned picture. Among other works
shown is a small marine by J. L. France, and a
study head by C. 8. Kllpatrick. Among the
visitors to the gallery on Friday last were sev
eral foreigners, unusually well informed re
garding art and artists, particularly European,
who by some strange coincidence cbanced to
drop into tbe gallery one after another.

Grand Opeba Housi Bartholomew's Horses
HARBif Theater Ml Ethel Tucker
World's Mcsitrat Curiosities, Etc
The above are the theatrical attractions for
bis week.
Tbe only theaters open this week are tho
Grand Opera House and Harris.
,
A unique entertainment will be given at tbe
Grand Opera House this week by Prof. George
Bartholomew and bis school of 24 educated
horses, that have been meeting with great suc
cess for over eight years throughout the coun
try. It wilt be tbeir first appearance in tbis
city. Performances will be given each evening
and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur
day afternoons at 2:30. Prof. Bartholomew il
lustrates the power which the educated human
mind can exercise over the brute creation, as
well as tbe degree to which tbe latter can be
educated. His horses give a performance in
four acts with special scenery, and are directed
entirely by spoken language. The horse, which
is naturally an intelligent beast, has been edu
cated by bim, until it seems endowed with al
most human faculties and perceptions. Their
reputation has preceded them, as the advance
sale of seats is unusually large aud a very suc
cessful engagement it anticipated.
The Pniladelpbia Preis said of this perform
ance: Pror. George Bartholomew at the Grand
Opera House last night illustrated to an im
mense audience the power which the educated
human mind can exercise over the brute crea
tion, as well as tbe degree to which the latter
can be trained and educated.
His 24 handsome horses cave a nerformance
in four acts, and tbe number of feats which
they perform is remarkable. The horse, which
is naturally an intelligent beast, seems to bave
been educated by bim until it seems endowed
with almost human faculties and perceptions.
The only requisite they apparently lack is tbe
power of speech. They are capable of doing
almost anything and understand every word of
command and go through their several parts
with willingness and apparent enjoyment.
.
At Harris' Theater there is an attraction this
week which may draw big houses. The plays,
'The Boy Scout" and '-The Boy Detective" are
the best comprised in N. S. Wood's extensive
repertoire. Miss Ethel Tucker, who has es
tablished herself as a favorite here, will ap
pear in tbe title roles, which she renders in a
manner calculated to make an audience enthu
siastic Tbe company is one of superior
merit. "The Boy Scout" will be given Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, and "The Boy
Detective" for the balance of the week.
...
Mr. Dunlop writes to TnE Dispatch: On
May 21 Henry Arthur Jone3 produced anew
and original play at the Shaftesbury Tbeater,
London, called "Judah," which, under tbe.
management of Mr. E. S. Willard, assisted by
Miss Oiga Brandon and an unusually compe
tent company, made an immenso success with
a representative first night London audience,
composed entirely of professional newspaper
critics, irienas ana sen-appointed critics oi mo
pit and gallery. Some months ago, at the Gar
rick Theater, nnder the management of one of
the most popular actor managers in England,
viz., Mr. John Hare, "La Tosca" was produced.
Practically the same audience was present on
both occasions, and practically the same unan
imous verdict of success was recorded; indeed
some of the most eminent of the London critics
went out of their way to find an adjective to
qualify the word "triumph." In fact this word
"triuuinb" figured so conscicuouslv tnrouch
tbe various notices of "La Tosca." that even
the compositors became a trifle demoralized,
and picked up a few "caps" in setting tbe copy
of tbe criticisms. This play was produced with
all the prestige andfollowingof Mr. John Hare,
together with a company wbich was composed
almost entirely of stars, and with a magnifi
cence of stage setting which has seldom been
beaten, even if equaled. What was the result?
The British public refused to take their wives
and daughters to see a play which wa3 revolt
ing in its plot, and after a few brief weeks it
was withdrawn in obedience to the stern dic
tates of tbe box office. Mr. Jones' play is
equally magnificently mounted; It is perfectly
played. Mr. Willard has seldom done any
thing better, and Miss Brandon has elevated
herself by acclamation into the very front rank
of English speaking actresses,but will "Plebs."
tbe common people take tbeir wives aud
daughters ti witness a young girl going
tbrougb tbe agonies on tbe stage of absolute
starvation, with accompanying Intense simula
tion of physical pain lasting through a whole
actT lithe aforesaid "Plebs." will accept tbis
revolting spectacle.then "Judab" will be a gold
mine; If not, a magnificent philosophical, psy
chological study will have been produced at an
enormous cost of treasure and talent to no
Eurpose, so far as tbe box office of the Sbaf tes
ury Tbeater is concerned. Once more let
American managers recall tbe unprecedented
enthusiastic notices of "La Tosca" in London,
and let tbem remember its fate.
..
Two entertainments tbat promises to be of
unnsual interest, will be given next Saturday
afternoon and evening, for tho benefit of tbe
West Penn Hospital. The first at 3 P. M., Sat
urday, will be a military fete and drill at Expo
sition Park, Allegheny. It will consist of drills,
field practice, etc.. by members of tbe Four
teenth and Eighteenth Regiments and Battery
B. Governor Beaver and staff. Generals Wiley
and Hastings are billed to be present.
In the evening a concert will be given in
Mechanical Hall by tbe United States Marine
Band of 46 pieces and under tbe leadership of
John P. Lonsa. With the reputation of the
United States Marine Band as a finished mu
sical organization a treat is looked forward to.
A number of vocalists will assist at the con
cert. During tbe intermissions of tbe concert
Mrs. General John A. Logan will present a flag
to the hospital for the Veterans' Gate.
Since Whispers.
Otis Bkinneb will be Margaret Mather's
leading man uext season,
Gilmobe's Band will give two concerts here

company opens next season at Prof. Herr

quest she said; 'i used to know him when he
was an actor.

THE Theatrical Social Clnb Al give a moon
light excursion on Tuesday evening, June 10,
on the steamer City of Pittsburg. There will
be many excellent musical features by the
Mozart Orchestra, and a display of fireworks is
also promised.
"The Shatchen" will probably not go on
the road next season, owing to its comparative
failure, and to the iact .that when the play was
boohed it was with tbe understanding that Mr,
L,eivls Morrison was in tho cast. When it was
found that it was never Mr. Morrison's inten
tion to go out with it tbe dates were canceled.
Sio. Giovanni'Emanubl, a famous Italian
actor, will visit America during the season of
1891-'82i under the management of' Sic De
Vivo. His repertoire will be "King Lear"
Nero," "Hamlet," "The Bastard." "Alciril
ades Mercader." and "Othello." His leading
lady will be SIgnora Verginla Relter, who is
now. sharing honors with bim at the Balbo
Theater, in Turin, Italy.
The manager of the Ostend Theater, Berlin,
produced a melodrama recently, entitled "Tho
Executioner ot Berlin," and for tbe creation of
tbe title role was satisfied with n j less a per
sonage than the Government executioner him
self, who every nigut appeared before large
and curious audiences, Unhappily, however,
for tbe manager, his goose with tbe golden
eggs was promptly kilieabythe authorities,
who forbade their cheerful offlolal to further
appear.

W. J. SCANLAN, tbe Irish comedian, has
S resented his wife with a $23,000 house, which
e recently purchased in Ninety-second street.
New York. Inasmuch as Mrs. Scanlan was al
ready the possessor of two or three bouses pre
sented to her by her husband, she is now one of
tbe wealthiest women in tbe profession. Mrs.
Scanlan leases her houses and thus derives a
steady income from them. Another enviablo
source of revenue at ber command is to be
found in the royalties from her husband's
songs, ail of which he gives to ber uncondi
tionally. The Mirror says wisely: Mr. Irving, inter
viewed tbe otber day, said that In thinking
about America be thinks about his friends. He
does not tbink about "some people" who
"spoke unkindly" of his work. The trouble
with Mr. Irving, as with many actors less con
spicuous and less favored by fortune, is tbat ha
does not tbink enough of his critics. The van
ity or weakness that ascribes an adverse opin
ion to personal antipathy, and that explains a
wholesome but unpleasmg criticism on tbe
ground of prejudice Is common among profes
sionals who have bad examples in tbeir leaders.

A LUXURY WITH US.

comforts going. With this object in view we went to considerable ex
pense having1 our stores fitted up in such a way that shopping with us
would really become a luxury. And so it is. Compare our establish
