ter. The fourth annual picnic to be given by the

LOCAL ART GOSSIP.
Inn School of Design closed yesterday for
the summer vacation, which will last until Sep
tember. Fortune has smiled upon Mr. J. A. Saint
during the past week, and be has disposed of
three of his pictures, all recent works that
have been noticed in this column.
A PLEASINO little landscape by Hetzel has
been shown at Mayer's during the week. The
composition is effective without aiming at
strength, and the handling is znlnutene in de
tail. The comparatively diminutive painting
which Mr. George Hetzel exhibits at Gilles
pie's this week is one of the best
things be has ever painted.. A silvery
gray tone pervades the work, the
highest note ot color being centered in the sky,
which shines out in irregular patches of color
through the broken clouds.
The Hacke gallery contines to be a point of
interest, and large numbers of people have vis
ited it during the week. The new pictures
which are expected bare not yet come to hand,
save a few of tbe least important works, and
one 'or two small paintings that have hern
been added by local artists. In one of the
small rooms opening off the gallery Mr. DeLlpp
man, an artist who has been in tbe citj but a
brief period, has planted his easel and is at
present engaged upon a study in oils of the
main gallery.
fcr the pictnre which Mr. D. B. Walkley
shows at Boyd's this week there is quite a de
parture, as regards style and composition, from
the character of any work done in this locality.
The subject is a dark hillside from which a
clump of still darker trees ne aeainst a bright
sky. Near tbe top of tbe hill there is a flock of
sheep, and upon their backs and for a short
distance along tho ground tbe bright rays ot
sunlight are seen to fall. This is a simple yet
striking composition, showing how much may
be done with a few forms if skillf nil v managed
The color scheme is also of the simplest kind!
the effect being broad rather than varied, and
the greater portion of the landscape a mass of
dark-toned green. In the handling also tho
same principle is found to prevail, broad free
touches of tbe brush taking the place of 'min
uteness and elaboration of detail.
THE small landscape which Mr. E. A. Poole
exhibits at Boyd's, is considerably below his
usual standard of excellence. It is one ot those
pictures of very simple character as regards
composition that require Ereat strength of
handling in certain portions in order to impart
the interest in which the subject itself is lacx
Ing. A second picture by Mr. Poole which
will be shown during the present week, is of an
entirely different character. The subject of
this latter work is an autumn iceneataspot
located near the fairgrounds at Washington
Pa. In this picture there is a fine rendering of
tbe warmth and light of a clear day in the fall
when the sky is cloudless and the landscape
brilliant in tbe richest coloring of tbe year
Some cattle have been lntrodnced near the
foreground, where they aid in lending interest
to tbe scene; they are placed with artistic skill
ana juuguient, uumrcainneiauity in drawing
Messes. Gboss and Lane seem to be rery
loth to leare Pittsburg since tbey hare found
this to be such an excellent market for the dis
posal of tbeir large collection of paintings.
After postponing tbe hour of their departure
sereral times, it was finally decided that last
week should see the end of their exhibition,
and Mr. Gross himself bad gone to New York,
but was induced to return with a fresh supply
of pictures by the alluring prospect of increased
sales. Tbe new pictures are well worth going
to see, as tbey include a number of celebrated
works, among tbem some flue colors such as
The Pilot," byDrumond, painted this year; a
landscape with cattle, by Mauve; "The Weav
ers," by Valkenberg, a picture full of homely
sentiment, such as characterized the work of
Millet; and several drawings by MacPherson
for illustrations to "The Land of Shakespeare."
published by Scribner's. Among the new oil
paintings is a splendid work by Grutzner,
called "A Fund of Anticipation," showing an
old monk with a candle ready to visit
the wine cellar; a fine piece of brush
work by Fojettt. entitled, "The Pet," the sub
ject being a number of children playing with a
large Newfoundland dog; a conple of com-
E anion pictures by Ituel tell the story of some
old young hunters who discover a Hoot of
tame geese, and, after shooting one of them,
are put to flight by an attack by the rest Other
works that mar be mentioned are: "Grand
lathers Birthday." Dy Massam; "A Flower
Market in Brussels," by L. Appert; "A Dream.''
by F. Cartien "TheFirstLove Letter." by Paul
wegner, and tbe "Laoy and Parrot," by A.
Calbez. The masterpiece of tbe collection,
however, is C. Laurenti's "Blind Man's Buff."
This last work is a large picture with a great
many figures, all eirriinntiv iinn .r,,T mi.
ored, and each one forming a study in attitude
and expression. A couple of still larger and
more expensive pictures which Mr. Gross has
brought with him are exhibited at the Monon
gabela House. These are the "Pompeian Mu
sicians," by Guinea, a really magniflieut paint
ing, and "After the Bath," a study of thenude.
byE. Dieudonne. Tbe latter work is in the
billiard room of tbe hotel.

the Big Parnassus Gobble.
ANOTHER PICKUFOtf PENN AVENUE
Half a Hundred Thousand Exchanged for
Land in the Twenty-Second Ward.
M0TJSMENTS AT NORTH wahkette
The big deal at Parnassus was the "talk
of the town" all week. Everybody reeog
nixed its importance as the germ of another
feeder to Pittsburg. The composition of the
syndicate was also discussed, and more
guessing was hazarded as to the names of
the gentlemen composing it, hat none hit the
mark. This secret is now dirnlged in
Tbe Dispatch. On unimpeachable au
thority it can be stated that the syndicate is
composed of H. C. Prick, B. Eafferty, J.
C. McGinley, H. Sellers McKee, and one or
two others equally prominent, but who pre
fer remaining in the background a little
longer. The purchases aggregate 700 acres and
the leases 3,000, involving 1,000,000 or more.
A prominent glass manufac nrer looked over
the grounds yesterday, and was highly im
pressed with its manifold advantages for man
ufacturing purposes. On Friday two Western
gentlemen, interested in iron specialties, took
a run up to Parnassus and examined tbe tract.
They were so well pleased that they will prob
ably locate there.
m
New Ideas no ibe Sonth.lde.
The Birmingham Land Improvement Com
pany, of the Southside, composed of a number
of leading business and professional gentle
men, with a capital of (100,000, whose organiza
tion was referred to in The Dispatch a short
time ago, has purchased a tract of SO acres,
conveniently situated, which it will cut up into
lots and put on the market. Surveyors are at
work plotting tbe tract, and will finish the
work in about two weeks,
A committee ot tbe company recently visited
Pullman and other model towns in the West,
and will utilize some of the ideas thus acquired
and which are new to this part of the comntry.
Another TwentvSecond Ward Gobble.
Mr. Thomas Liggett has about concluded a
&5,000 deal in the Twenty-second ward. The
property consists of about eight acres, with a
substantial residence. It will be improved and
occupied by the purchaser, who is a prominent
iron manufacturer.
Tbe syndicate whose operations in this ward
were narrated at length in The Dispatch a
few days ago hare secured about all tbe land
which tbey set out to gobble, and will probably
call a halt this week. What they hare done in
the last few days will be given to the public in
a shurt time.
Improvements nt North Jeaanelte.
Work on the Dithridge glass plant at North
Jeannette is proceeding rapidly. The founda
tions of tbe immense building are almost ready
for tbe bricklayers. Tbe Pennsylranla Rail
road has completed tbe sidings and is carrying
material directly to tie works. Tbe contract
calls for the completion of the plant by August
15, the beginning of next season's fire.
Tbe Fort Pitt Land Company has bad its
property, consisting of orer 100 acres, dirided
into about 800 lots, surveyed, and streets laid
out and named. Tbe outlook for the big sale
on tbe grounds on Saturday, June 21, by Bax
ter, Thompson 4 Co., is rery promising, judg
in'g from tbe large number of Inquiries re
ceired by this firm.
Picked Up on Penn Avenne.
Progress was reported in sereral large deals
in real estate yesterday one for S5.000. bnt for
obrious reasons particulars cannot be given
until they go through. The big one will be

erty on Penn arenue, near Fifth street, lot
23x160, with a three-story brick building, for

dent. Whitney & Stephenson sold CO shares Wheel

Easy money ererywhere and a dnll stock
market are somewhat hard to reconcile. The
trouble seems to be tbat speculators are al
ready carrying more than they can manage to
advantage.
A new and handsome bank building will be
added to the architectural ornaments of the
East End before the year is rung our. It will
be located on Penn avenue.
It Is understood that the $60,000 standing bid

VOID OF EXCITEMENT.
The Markets Showing a Disposition to Lag
The Only Stimulation Noticeable Being
In Sugnr Citizens' Gas of Brook
lyn Advances a Small Frnctlon.
New ioek, June It There was scarcely
any stock market to-day. while the fluctuations
were strictly upon a parity with the trading. In
no stock but sugar was there any real fluctua
tion, and tbat was very moderate for that stbek.
Tbe general inalsposttlon to trade, pending the
settlement of the silver question one way or
the other, extended to-day to even the pro
fessionals and traders! and tbe operations of
that class of operators were restricted to the
smallest limits possible. The dullness was most
intense even from the start, and prices, as
nsnal, got a drooping tendency which sufficed
to carry sugar down to 82. after sales
at 83 but in nothing else was there
movement worthy of notice. Tbe bank
statement showed a marked Increase in tbe
surplus reserve of the banks, and this finally
did aa with the little influence exerted by
the shipment of gold yesterday, and good buy
ing at the concessions established came In and
the early losses were in almost all cases made
up again, sugar rallying nearly to Its highest
point, and closing within per cent of its last
night's prices. The feature among tbe special
ties was Citizens' Gas, of Brooklyn, which ad
vanced a small fraction, selling ex-dividend.
Railroad bonds were as dull as stocks, and
displayed tbe same temper, though there was
more uniformitv and tbe firmness lasted
through the session. Sales 319,000. Govern
ment bonds dull and steady. State bonds dull
and firm. The exports of specie from tbe port
of New York during the past week amounted
to 5LS90.000, of which tLS30,9oO was In gold and
f59,050 silver. The Imports ot specie for the
week amounted to 107,550.
The Post says: Last week stocks recovered
about half of tbe previous week's decline, and
tbls week the recovery has been about lost
again, so tbat the general range of prices is J
now j use aoout tne same as on tne mo 01 May.
At tbe closo of last week the prospect seemed
fair for a further recovery, and this would
probably have been the case bad it not been'
inatjuonaon nas Deen a pretty constant seller
of stocks throngb tbe week. Money has been
workiug closer in London, and exchange is a
cent on tbe connd higher tban a week ago.
Tbe ordering of 1,000,000 gold for export by
to-day's steamer, though not In itself an amount
sufficient to effect the markets, is indicative
of some unexplained necessity for corn In the
foreign money markets which may be exer
cising an influence to check speculation In
securities.
The flurry In Sugar Trnst and Chicago Gas
Trust, which disturbed tbe stock market dur
ing the two previous weeks, appears to bare
settled down, and their places are nearer to
Where theT Will remain rnmnsratlVAlv rtoariv
Chicago Gas Trust is Spolnts lower for the
week and points lower than on Mar Si, though
l&Tlowox tte meat 43efflento the receiver
to distribute the dividends as usual, there is
reason to expect a farther important recovery,
as with the dividends reasonably assured it
pays nearlv 8 Der cent on the investment The
U latest reported railroad earnings continue to
snow me same remaikaoie gains over use year,
and the prospects for a settlement of the rail
road difficulties west ot Chicago bare not been
so good for many months, but as far as tbe
Granger stocks are concerned these favorable
circumstances have spent their force, and the
Granger stocks are now all so high in proper--tion
to tbe dividends tbey pay, or may hope to
pay, that there is no speculative inducement to
buy them. '

B. & O. Deal Thought to be a Good One for
Baltimore.
8PBCIAI. TO JOHN U. OAKLET ft CO.
New Yoke, June 14. Dull and uninterest
ing is the record of to-day's stock business, and
the early tendency of prices was to sag. The
apprehensions excited by the shipment of gold
are utilized by the bears to depress prices, but
tbe general conditions of trade remain favora
ble, and in this connection it may be stated tbat
the anthracite coal properties are reported as
holding prices very Arm and business generally
assuming better shape.
Tbe conditions of tbe iron and steel trade are
also said to be of a favorable character, and the
crop reports state that good growing weather
has been experienced in all parts ot the coun
try recently.
Railroad earnings continue good, and with
this condition and prospective favorable finan
cial legislation, tbe outlook is a good one.
which is aided-bv tbe bank statement to-day
'"6 or.wu,uuu increase in reserve.
The following extract from to-dav's letter of
a prominent Baltimore house will be found of
interest: "Tbe sales of 82.600 shares of Balti
more and Ohio stock owned by Baltimore city,
to E. K. Bacon, of New York, representing a
syndicate of capitalists, is generally approved,
and with rerr few exceptions It is conceded
that the price paid (100) was all that under the
circumstances could possibly have been ob
tained. The city's Baltimore and Ohio stock
could be used only by those who controlled a
majority of tbe shares of the company, and as
tbe Garrett party did absolutely bold tbe con
trol there was no one else to bid for tbe stock."
While Baltimore and Ohio stock is quoted at
the Stock Exchange at about 105 upon the
hypothesis that some day the purchasing syn
dicate will make the road pay, no considerable
amount of stock could be sold at a better price
tban was realized by tbe city. Considering all
the circumstances, we think the city obtained a
fair price for its stock, and all that could be
expected.
Ibe purchases of the city Baltimore and
Ohio stock is in the interest of the Garrett
party, and. in our opinion, no one will be ad
mitted to the deal who Is not in thorough ac
cord with the present management
The Danville people and others may and no
doubt will be given a personal interest in the
deal, bnt that tbore is any possibility of tbe
management of the company chanc-lm? hands
at present we think highly Improbable.

THE CASE OF MISS MAGGIE DEVINE
A short time since the attention of the
public was called to the remarkable success
Drs. Copeland and. .Blair were having In
their treatment of catarrh and all its various
complications. Although imitators of their
method of treatment and mode of advertis
ing hare sprung np in rarious sections of
the city, their feehle efforts hare met
with no success. Drs. Copeland and Blair
still remain at the bead, and their success is
unabated. Dr. "W. H. Copeland is person,

his skillful treatment and close attention to
the rarious changes in the cases under his
care are due the wonderful results reached.
Case of Hiss Maggie Devtne.
Miss Maggie Derine, who lives with her
parents at No. 4566 Friendship arenue,
East End. gives the following statement:
"My trouble came on orer two years ago,"
she said, "from continued colds, I think. Z
would catch cold so easily, one after another.
"My nostrils would clog up. lhad head
aches almost constantly a dull, heavy pain
over the eyes and through tbe temples. There
were buzzing and roaring noises In my ears
nearly all the time. After a short time I found
myself growing worse very rapidly.
1 uere was a constant dropping ox matter
back into my throat, which kept me continu
ally hawking and raising to clear it. Mr throat
became sore and inflamed. Sharp shooting
pains would pass through my chest into my
back. There was a tightness In mr chest as IX
a weight were pressing down. Night sweats
came on and weakened me terriblr.
"My appetite failed me. What little I did eat
seemed to lay like a heavy load on my stomach,
and would be followed by a miserable feeling
of distress and nausea. My nights becama
restless. I would get up m the morning feeling
more tired than when 1 went to bed. 1 always
had a bad taste in my mouth upon arising. As
my trouble grew worse I became nervous and
Irritable.
"It was while in this condition tbat I read of
tne wonderful success Drs. Copeland and Blair
were having with cases similar to mine. I
called on tbem. and, finding their charges so
rery reasonable, began treatment with them. I
Improved from the start. My head and throat
no longer fill np. night sweats ceased, the pains
in my head and chest passed away; in fact, I ant
a different person entirely, and owe my re
covery to Dr. Copeland.
