THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1S0O.
Weddings, receptions and raillincry open
ings, especially the latter, have served to
keep the feminine world in a decided state
of flatter for the past few days. Brides and
bridegrooms are interesting, but not to be
compared in the talk and the comment they
create with one "dear little love" of a bon
net that has been -exhibited during; the
week and that holds its own (and its own is
onlv a tinv bit of velvet, the same of
duchese lace and a diamond pin) at the
rather startling figure of 5220.
That it is Parisan goes without saying;
also that it is bewitching. It will bewitch
some fair one surely, and she will bave to
bewitch some stern one when the bill comes
in. and perhaps any number of admirers
will acknowledge the witchery when the
possessor appears with it on her head. But
the witched ones will hardly then be of the
fair sex for much as they mar admire it
when it is displayed in the show case they
will certainly find serious defects in it un
der the changed circumstances and will
think it the height ot extravagance to put
so much money in one bonnet
A Rcicn of Tuiqnolie.
This particular bonnet was mentioned es
pecially because ii is the most pronounced
beauty thus ir seen in the city. Bnt all
the designs for fall and winter wear are
charming and artistic Turquoise is the
very newest shade and is combined with
every color combinable, even with gold, and
is equally pretty with any and til. Ex
tremes in size, both large and small, are
fashionable, ana extremes in either dressi
ness or severity also.
A few bright red hats are to be intro
duced, but their reception in Pittsburg is
somewhat doubt ul, though in less conserv
ative cities they are very popular. The
dress and suit openings some of them
will he held this week, and the ladies are all
on the qui vive as to just what the Parisian
importations will prove.
Pomp Pari Ferret.
Mrs. Anna JT Parcels, who has just re
turned from Pans, says: "It will be a
bre-vch of etiquette for a lady to appear
without a dcmi-train in either an afternoon,
carriage, calling or reception toilet. The
Parisian ladies affect the demi-tr&in some
what on the streets, bnt their streets are so
much cleaner than ours that it makes it
possible, while in our cities it would be
utterly impossible.
"The lovely new pompadour silks," con
tinned Mrs. Parcels, "are going to be very
stylish and are dreadfully pretty with their
dainty liitle bits ot bright coloring in birds,
hugs and flowers upon the black back
ground. Tuey will be worn principally for
street and calling costumes, and will be fre
quently combined with cloth in the rough
finish.
"And," she concluded, "."or evening wear
Ihe new material chifione, will lead and
usurp the place occupied heretofore by the
mousseline de soie. Thoexe Bbauche.

The papers are full of stories about Dion
Bonclcanlt In the Mirror, Sol. Smitb Rus
sell tells a very pathetlo tale of the great
dramatist's last days.
"People are saying that Mr.vBouclcauIt died
of a broken heart caused by the failure of 'A
Tale of a Coat'" said Mf. Russell, "and, figur
atively speaking, I believe this to bo true. One
day he called me to bis house and told me the
story of A Tale of a Coat' or a It was then
callea. 'James Watt Tailor.' I liked it I
thought I saw in Jemmy Wait something that
I could do justice to, and Mr. Boucicanlt began
work on the play that was to answer his critics
just a year ago."
V
"Well, time went on and the play was com
pleted. Several titles were suggested for the plav
a dozen at least James Watt, Tailor; The
Crank, The Golden Crank, Jemmy Watt and
finally, A Tale of a Coat, which was adopted.
Mr. Boucicanlt. however, nevor liked this title,
and afterward thought It had something to do
with the failure. That is why we kept chang
ing the advertisements in the papers, making
a greater feature of Jemmy Watt than ot the
real uue.
e
In Philadelphia "A Tale of a Coat" had a
highly successful production. The papers
praised it and the people flocked to see it
"But In New York," Mr. Russell continues;
failure, dire and complete, came. Several of
the critics pronounced the play bad. I hurried
up to Mr. Boucicault's house, and found him
sitting in a dejectod manner in bis study, a
mass of morning papers all round blm.
"Two weeks passed and the succors did not
come. Persons outside began to criticise the
play and the business tell off rapidly. But
still I persevered. At last when the receipts
at the box office fell below the expense, my
wife and my friends urged me to take off Mr.
Boucicault's play and substitute A Poor Re
lation.' And I was compelled to yield."
Mr. Russell had a touching interview with
Bonclcanlt after this. He had hoped tor a tri
umph with tbe new play to confound the
critics who persisted in saying that Boucicault's
writing power was of tbe past Tbe failure
really seems to hive killed him. Tbe story of
Boucicault's life, his studious childhood, his
wonderful success while yeta bovas tbe author
of "London Assurance," n play that ranks with
Bberidan's "School for Scandal," and his check
ered career all over tho world, would make a
mure sensational play than any written by him.

powerful show at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue
Museum. Of tbe several excellent attractions
this house has had since its opening, the vil
lage has proved the strongest and-drawn the
most people. So great has been the success of
tbe people from the Orient that Manager Davis
has retained them for another week. He has
also concluded to make this souvenir week,
and will on Tuesday present every woman and
child visitor to the museum with a handsome
chromo. Friday afternoon next the Japanese
maiden will presont every lady visitor with a
substantial package of tea not a sample, but
a good serviceable supply. There will
be many new features on the roof
garden, and in the Satire Hall, while
an entirely new entertainment will
be presented in the theatorinm by Mnllelly,
Riley and Mnllelly, comedians, the clever little
Gleason children, Kitty Burke and many
others. The house has been growing prettier
every week. The opera chairs are being put in

Tho "Plunger" is tho title of Mr. Byron's new
play, which Is said to have achieved success. A
great deal of very handsome lithographic work,
to be seen in various places in tbe city, conveys
a very good idea ot tbe nature of tbe play. Mr.
Byron's part ot Dexter Digit, the J'lunger.U
full of very amusing light comedy. Some of
bis scenes with the Widow Cloier, a part cre
ated and played by Miss Kate Byron, are said
to be extremely funny. At otber times Dexter
Digit is decidedly melodramatic The Plunger
is a jolly fellow and a firm friend or Walter
Glyndon's. A happy, rollicking Plunger, but
withal a sharp, bright business man. It is un
necessary to speak of Mr. Byron's qualifica
tions for such a part Miss Kate Bvron's

ot mention, the most striking being tho repro

Some time airo a wealthy person of literary
prominence, of New York City, desirous to es
pecially encourage dramatic literature, sug
gested to two gentlemen the formation of a
company for that purpose, and entrusted the
details to them. The first result Is the incor
poration, under the laws of this State, of tbe
"Dramatic Development Company," Edmund
C. Stanton, Director of the Metropolitan Opera
House, and William F. G. Shanks, of the
T ibune. are tho principal incorporators. Tha
camtal is ample. The company will have
ofllcci in this city at No. 26 Church street (P.
O. Box 2747), but is authorized to do business
iu other cities and States. The purpose is the
production of plajs for authors at trial per
formances before managers and stars, who aro
likely to be purchasers, and the
critics. Neither authors, actors in the
cant, or tbo directors of tbe company, will be
permitted to admit a single person free, tbe
object being to avoid gathering an audience of
too partial triends to mislead as to a play's
merits. All expenses will bo borne by the
company. If a play is successful It will be sold
or leased to the highest bidder either for a fixed
sum or a roalty, or a percentage as agreed on.
The performances will be given In various the
aters in New York or in adjacent cities by spe
cially engaged companies. Stock companies
and sometimes traveling stars will be employed
to "try on" plays of promise. The company
will be the sole loser in case of failure: it will
reserve a.sbare previously agreed on of the Bum
tor which successful plays are sold or leased, to
reimburse itself. Any author can avail him-

rules prescribed for manuscripts, etc
Ever since the reopening of the public
schools In September there have been rumors
ot the remarkable increase in attendance of tbe
Pittsburg schools; but the school reports pre
sented by tbe various principals at tbo Central
Board of Education yesterday showed In black
and white & phenomenal increase that was
never dreamed of. The Oakland, Mt. Albion,
Lincoln. Peebles, Mt Washington, Highland
and Washington districts head the increased
lists, while tbe Franklin, Ralston and Da
quesne showed a big decrease.
In the Franklin district the old building was
torn down to give place to a magnificent new
building. Temporary quarters were secured
at the old Ursnline Convent on Cliff street, and
the basement of a church on Fulton street
These changes caused many pnplls of tne
Franklin district to attend other schools,
which is the reason of the big decrease at tbls
school. At tbe Duquesne the opening nf
Father Sheedy's parocblal school is responsible
for the decrease. Both tbe Grant and St Clair
districts show a slight decrease in the general
enrollment but tbe average attendance is bet
ter than last September.
The Fncts at a Glance.
However the figures show that In general the
increase In the enrollment is over 11,000. which
makes the increase this year nearly 100 per
cent better than that of last year, when tbe
increase was 600. This will make tbe yearly
enrollment S0.991 pupils. Appended is a list
showing the increase and decreasein the various
schools of this year compared with last year:

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
ON THE FEMALE FACE
Destroyed forever by the Electric Needle Operation by Dr. J. Van
Dyck. Electro Surgeon, 603 Penn ave., Pittsburg.
Superfluous hair is an excessive growth of hair seen mostly ou the .
upper lip, chin, cheeks, throat, nose, ears, forehead, between the eye-fc
brows, arms, hands and breast, also grows in thick tufts from moles
and birthmarks. Tbls growth of facial hair is surprisingly prevalent.
We see it in the church, drawing room, on the street, and wherever
ladles congregate. At least one-tnira or our lames are troumea witn i
this obnoxious growth.
uan you conceive oi any iaciai oiemisn in, is more aisiressing, an
noying and humiliating to a sensitive, refined lady than a growth of
facial hair, a noticeable dark Hue on the upper Up, or a tuft of coarse
hairs on cbln and throat?
Every lady with hair on her face knows that the use of depilatories,
heated wax, the tweezers, scissors and razor all make these hairs grow
coarser, darker and more numerous. Remember this, depilatory pow
ders or liquids only cut the hairs oil at theBurface and always stimu
late the growth, so tbat a lady might just as well shave as to use them.
There Is only one method in tho world by which hair can bo de
stroyed and that is bv tho ELECTRIC-NEEDLE OPERATION, as per-
lormea ov v;.j. v an uycK. r-iec.ru surgeon. aa c enn avenuo. .riiESDurr.
This is a purely scientific oporattunsnd is indorsed by all physicians and surgeons of emi
nence as being tbe only method in the world by which tha follicle can be destroyed so the hair
can never gtow again.
The electric needle is painlessly Inserted Into the hair follicle and destroys the little bulb or
sack from which tbe bair grows.
Dr. Van Dyck Is pleased to state to the ladles of Pittsburg and vicinity that hois perma
nently located iu this city and devotes several hours daily to the permanent removal of superflu
ous hair by tbe electric needle, wblch Is douo without pais. scar, shock, trace or Injury. Dr.
Van Dyck was tho first physician in the world to successfully perform this operation; has op
erated for 15 years: ha treated hundreds of cases, and has acqrired the skill and national rep
utation as1 an expert in electro-surgery. He n timbers among bis patients many of our most
prominent ladles. His pratico Is extensive and wide-spread; ladles coma to him from every part
of the country to get rid of this unsightly growth of hair.
Remember this, ladles, no matter what tbe condition of your case may be, whether you have
a few scattering hairs on your face or a thoroughly doveloped board, as sure as you now live you
can havo every hair destroyed from your fate forever by tho electric needle by consulting Dr.
Van Dyck, but unless you have them destroyed by this method you will carry them to tbe grave
with you. Stop using ail outward applications and consult Dr. Van Dyck at once and have them
destroj ed forever. Dr. Van Dyck's office, 03 Penn ave., Pittsburg; hours, 9 to 6; Sundays, 10 to
4; never tails: book free.
NOTE Patients who cannot come to tbe city office can be treated by Dr. Van Dyck or assist
ants in their native town or city (by special engagement) as far east as Harrisbarg.west to Cleve
land. alo to Wheeling, W. Va., otc.
Dr. Van Dyck also successfully treats birthmarks, moles, warts, wens and all facial erup
tions. RED NOSE Dr. Van Dyck is pleased to say tbat be never fails to cure rcdnes of tha now
by a purely scientific and original method of treatment. A red noe on a woman or a man's face
Is ofton as humiliating as hair ou the fomale face. Consult Dr. Van Dyck at once for this sug
gestlve deformity, liako your engagements promptly, as only a limited number of new patient
can be treated dally. Call or address DR. J. Vax DYCK, 502 Penn ave., Pittsburg. ieU-S3a
