i.awri'.myM X' SITT t ""Will the rest of Pittsburg be married to-day?" was the question asked me on last Friday. And really I didn't wonder at it for there were so many weddings on Thurs day. It was past midnight when I laid down my pencil after having described no less than six weddings, six charm ing brides, six handsome grooms and maids of honor, bridemaids 3ud best men and ushers galore. Even then my duties seemingly were not cotn pleted.for during the remainder of the night my dreams were peopled with brides and grooms, bridemaids and groomsmen, and best men and maids of honor all of whom were very inconsiderate and insisted upon appearing at the wrong weddings and be coming contused in the most unorthodox manner. But with the dawn of day came happy release from the chaotic condition caused by the multitudinous weddings of the day previous and renewed interest and vitality for the future ones of which there are many in prospect. All Krides are Lovely. Those of last week were without exception delightful affairs, and the brides were par ticularly lovely, I say, because all brides are lovely in spite of the many insinuations cast 10 the contrary by incredulous persons when reading newspaper accounts. The very fact of being a bride makes a girl interesting and lovely. If she is joyous tbe joy cives her coun tenance, perhaps at other times plain, a new and beautiful expression; if she is just a wee bit sad, then the pensive loot makes her doubly Interesting, and in almost every intance she is Eelf-possessed. Hat that cannot be said of the grooms. Their self-possession usually deserts them at the im portant event and they become nervons and excited and look so excruciatingly conscious! Indeed, one ot the many grooms who appeared at the altar during the week, according to his male friends" version, was imbibing inoxio nerve food every quarter of an hour during the entire day in order to attain cen a moder ate decree of composure. During tne evening, however, he appeared to good advantage, and his manly beauty was decidedly notable even amonc his ushers, who were a dangerously handsoroo selection ot men. Selecting the Attendants. As a rule grooms do not select their attend ants with a view to accentuating their own good points as brides do. They think only of friendship and good fellowship and they don't care one particle If their best men are ever so much handsomer than they are. but the charm ing brides seldom take any creut risks. Bvthe way, isn't it just about time that Mr. "William H. Davis, whoofliciated attheMurpliy Holmes redding be retired on half pay for such services. It was th 25:b time he has assisted at the nuptial altar, and indeed, so much has his tim? been occupied in helping his friends get married that be hat no nnportu nity of accomplishing that feat for himself. Good nature should not be imposed npon longer even though the man is conn eons agree able, popular aud handsome, as is Mr. Davis. Here's a, Delightful Mystery. Such a great big piece of news as I did hear this veek, and such a great big pledge of se crecy as I had to give in order to hear it! But fortunately for my peace of mind, the pledge referred to names only, and I'ain at liberty to tell the rest. And by telling it will afford all wno aelight in pondering upon the mysterious (and they aie legion) an opportu nity of indulging in the fascinating pastime. To a gentleman well versed in both the social and hnancial lore of this city, tine who can wnh accuracy and truthfulness give a biographical sketch of every person who has figured with any prominence in either circle during the last CO ) ears or more.I am indebted for my informa tion which concerns a certain ex-Congressman and the wealthy widow of a formerlt promi nent and highly esteemed manufacturer of estern Ptnnsjlvania. The gentleman is a representative of one of the oldest and best established families in the State and well known in financial circles. In deed, such is his reputation as a manipulator of profitable investments that the mere men tioning of his name in connection with any en terprise is almost a cuarantee of its succe-s. And "he lady in question is also endowed with excellent business judgment, and by the exer cise of her natural aptitude for affairs of more than ordinary magnitude she lias it is said, distanced many threwd and far-slzhted men, who pride themselves on their skill at being: able to co ahead of their competitors in things terrestrial. How It Came About. The ex-mcroucr of Congress is a widower, his wile having been dead several years. And his Interesting family have one and all attained majority and, as is customary with children liberally sui plied with money and opportuni ties for travel and improvement, have left the home nest for pastures new. And the father, thus finding himself alone in tbo prime of life and at the height of his prosprrity, began to feel the need of a companion. The convic tion finally became a i actor of his daily thoughts: business affairs ceased to exercise their attrations for him, and he became as keenly alive and observant to his new ambition as ever bis nature formerly responded to the appeals of a tempting deal in stocks or railroad securities, which i sayins considerable. He nasaman with a mission hen one day lasteprins lie ieii nis masrninceut nome, sur rounded by grounds more beautiful even than those of any other of the wealthy residents of the Eden-like little city in whicb'he lives, and took the train for the home not far from here of the widow already mentioned. Under the guise of relationship tor sne was his de ceased wne's sister no made a short visit, which was followed by many such, nndthev will continue until a certain contln gency relieves the necessity of Jteepins their engagement mncer a secrer: ana men tne lady will return all the short visits riven bv the cen- tlemin with one protracted visit, and society win ue astounaei or maicc great pretensions at having received startling information, which amounts to about tbo same thing. lamina Abbot t' Mul;e-Up. Emma Abbott has come and gone, her gowns have been admired, her voice enjoyed, and her flesh deplored, as w ell as her stage make-up, which is simply dreadful. And it is so strange that one so Hell versed in theatrical effects as Miss Abbott, who has been on the stage I don't dare say how long; but at cny rate since she was 8 years old, should be guilty of snch zbominablo make-ups when her own natn-il complexion is so clear and pretty. Yes. that Is a fact, but It is hardly crdited by some. I kuow. Indeed, yesterday when a friend happened to plance Oonn the leaf of my not" book upon which I had jotted down numerous things I wished to remember, among them Abbott's Complexion, he indulged In very suggestive laughter and the remark, -she hasn't any." But she has one of exceeding clearness and beauty, thousli minus any color at all except when action brings a faint rose tinge to her check. Aud in caring for her skin nothing in the v.orld is used but glycerine in great abund ance and rice powder. Said Miss Abbott in speaking about it: How She Accomplished It "lam just a little proud of my complexion, for I had such a dreadful suin to commence on such a yallery. bloery, blackery sort of a foundation. But by continual applications of pure glycerine and attention to my diet I have accomplished what you see. Xo, indeed, I have never had any massage treatment. I do not have the time for it, and it amuses me when I see the newspapers credit me with devoting so many hours a day to such, and taking flvc-milo walks, and doing any number of pleasant and no doubt healthful things, but thinss that all take time which I can not spare. I don't know as I ever walked five miles in my life. I have never had the time. I jump into my carriage and instruct my driver to go like llghtnincandbcgocs. I work J6 horrsaday and in all my life have never taken one-half a clay's holiday. Oh, indeed, success on the stace means work unceasing." KATHXZjr HUBSET PWCt , , II ... -M. THE "WSEK TK SOCIETY.

"An Obstlnant Family" and a "Kiss in the Dark," as given in the Mt, Washington Library Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings of last week, were very enjoyable farces. The cast of characters was en exceptionally strong one, and an exceedingly clever performance was the resultof the skillful training given by Miss Edith Smithson, under whose direction the plays were given. Miss Smithson, as an elocu tionist and teacher, has long, for one so young, occupied a prominent position in her profes sion, and the success of the two performances of last week has added materially to the fame of the yonng lady, who is charming as well as talented.

How th Graduates of tho School Have Scattered An English Educator Visits tho Pittsburg Schools Value of Mechan ical Training Educational Gossip. At their old alma mater, the Miller (street building, over 100 members of the Normal Alumul Association, constituting the bright and younger city teachers, assembled yesterday afternoon aud were addressed by Superintendent Luckey on "Professional Zeal." Before the meeting was called to or der the chatter of the bright s'chool roams as they talked of old times would discount an old-fashioned carpet-rag social, but at the tap ol the bell, obedient to their own rules, all was serenely still. Superintendent Luckey thought the High School Normal alumni should have at least one meeting each year. It would help to keep up one's acquaintances and give op portunity to talk of old times, and above all to help one another. The work of the Pitts burg Normal School is even better that that done bv the State Normal schooh, for it is mnre in the direct line of teaching. He would like the work of our Normal graduates to be such pick out the rooms that one could taught bv them in any scnooi, ana their reputation to be such that any of them could sacure a position by simply presenting a diploma, and these things cannot be unless there is professional zeal. This quality belonged to men who made their names famous. Prof. Burt's pupils were all imbned with his en thusiasm and made teaching a success. In closing his remarks Superintendent Luckey advised the teachers to band them selves together with a sacred resolve to make the work of their alma mater famous. He cautioned against jealousy in the pro fession, and said that if one teacher did her work better than another the other teachers shonld try and copy her methods. After this address the following officers were elected: President, Miss M. A. Bus winkle; Vice President, Miss Elizabeth Mc Cabe; Secretary. Miss Louisa Seif; Treas urer, Miss K. Neiperj Executive Commit tee, Maud Evans, Bose Davis, Margaret Lemtnon, Lillian Johns, Bertie Torley. The Executive Committee will meet shortly to make arrangements for a Normal Alumni reception which will likely be in November. There are 430 graduates of the Pittsburg Normal School and over 200 of them are teachers in the city schools. Miss Margaret Cuthbert, of the classof 1879, isa missionary in Japan. Margaret L. Jones is in South America. She is the wile of Eev. Bobinson. Principal C. B. Wood, of the Hi eh School, was present and made a few pleasant re marks. Mr. Lvnlph Stanley, a member of tbe London School Board, and one of the visi tors of the British Iron and Steel Institute, chaperoned by Superintendent Luckey, spent Friday at the Grant and High schools. Before the visit he told Secretary Beisfar he had heard of the high reputation of tbe Pittsburg schools over in England, but one thing that surprised him very much is that so little attention is paid to manual train ing in a manufacturing citv like Pittsburg. In England there are cooking and sowing schools and they are now trying to have a de partment established where cutting and fitting shall be taught. He thought tb. cooking school is a step in the right direction. Mr. Stanley has -visited the schools in all large American cities. On Tuesday evening tbe Central Board meets. The Music Committee will ask for authority to change the present route of schools now fol lowed by the music supervisors. The election ot additional teachers for the High School will be ratified, and the Committee on Night Schools will decree the length which the night schools shall be open. - The Ninth Ward School. Allegheny, reports the largest night school in the city. Six rooms are in operation, having an attendance of 175 pupils. The Oakland school district bad tho largest increase In attendance of any In the city, and last Tuesday evening tbe school board elected four new teachers. For the Bcllfield School Miss Maggie E. Jones and Mollie Bennet are the new teachers and Miss L. V. Steel was' elected writing and drawing teacher. Miss Lizzie Small was elected the additional teacher at the Soho School and Miss Alice Kelly writ ing and drawing teacher. The substitutes are tbe Mioses Alice Alderson, Katie Farrel and Miss Knieps.

Williams' acapemt Gus Hill's Novelties lUBRiS'rnxATKB "Hearts ofNewTfork Davis' Fifth Ave. Museum Curiosities. Eto. Woklp's Museum curiosities. Etc. Tho above are the theatrical attractions for this week. v Manager Harry Williams got through his fiery ordeal this week all right, and Williams & Orr"s Minstrels played out tho balance of the week in the Central Rink to large audiences. As a matter of fact, the rink being a cood deal larger than the scorched Academy, Mr. Will iams was compensated to some extent for his loss by fire and water by the increased receipts at his temporary home. The Academy will be open again to-mnrrow week, October 20. Talking of the Academy It Is worth Manager Williams' while to think about giving tbo pub lic a larger variety theater. It is an accepted fact that most of the time it is useless to go to tbe Academy alter 8 o'clock, for all tho seats are sold by that time and standing room Is mighty scarce as well. The popularity of tho Academy has never Been so great as It is this season, and the demand for good variety per fnrm3nrR Is increasing all the time. There is not room for two variety theaters here one . reason for tbis being tnat mere are not euuuju first-class vaudeville combinations on the road but there is a decided demand for a larger variety theater than the Academy. V Ted Marks' Internationals gave the best and cleanest variety performance at the Grand Opera House this week that has been seen here in years. In some features the performance could not possibly be more entertaining. The imitation of monkeys given by Jaco and Coco is wonderfully true to lite, and the Avolos are the most agile athletes of juvenile years we have ever seen. The Internationals drew large audiences, it is pleasant to note, and Mr. Marks deserves especial credit for arranging a pro gramme so free from offense and vulgarity of any kind. That it is possible to give a variety performance that shall be absolutely free from objectionable suggestions and that shall at tbe same time please the regular, patrons of vaudeville, Mr. Marks has proven. V The books ot Jerome K. Jerome do not en courage one to expect much from his plays, that's a faot, Buch tasteless, cooked-over lit erary hash as "The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" would Indicate a poverty of brain and an absence of honesty in the author and cer tainly suggest very slight dramatic power in his pen. But. all the same new plays by Jerome K. Jerome are announced on all sides, and curious to say most of them are meeting with success. Mr. A. P. Dnnlop, writing to The Dispatch of tbe latest of Mr. Jerome's plays, says: "On Tuesday Mr. Augnstin Daly began his regular Beason at Daly's Theater, with Jerome K. Jerome's new comedy, "New Lamps for Old." When the curtain went up Mr. Frederick Bond was discovered sitting in one corner of tbe stage. He was reading a book, wbich be at once referred to as the wick edest book ho ever read. A voice in the trallery immediately called out, "Oh, what is it?" The vast audience roared with langhter and ap plause, and this was the keynote of the even ing." V One of the few genuine successes, artistic and financial, this season seems to be Frederick Warde's new Shakespearian revival with Mrs. D. P. Bowers in "Henry VIII." It is about IB years since Edwin Booth produced Shake speare's "Henry VIIL" He always played Cardinal Wolsey, the character Frederick Warde is now assuming. But Charlotte Cush man often acted Queen Catherine one night and Cardinal Woliey the next Mr. Warde as Cardinal WoUey, apd Mrs. Bowers as Queen Katherine. have been praised almost extrava gantly wherever they have played. Joseph Arthur, who wrote a drama very suc cessfully around a fire engine, has had equal success in composing a play around a buzz saw. Mr. Arthur's new play is called "Blue Jeans." A New York correspondent writes me that "Blue Jeans" is a picture of rural life in In diana, and has a sawmill situation that alone would carry it to success. Robert Billiard, the hero, is knocked insensible near a sawmill. Tbe villain of the play picks him up and places him upon a lone board lying on the bench of one of the big buzz saws in the mill. Hs then sets the machinery going and pushes the end of the long board upon the wheel. Tbe rapidly in creasing teeth of tbe buzz saw wheezes around, eats into the board and throws B&wdust upon Mr. Eilliard't quickly approacbinc body. When be is within two inches of tbe ugly look ing teeth ot the saw. and tbe goose flesh is creeping down the backs of tbe audience, Jen nie Yeamans breaks into the sawmill, raises up the prostrate form of Billiard, and drags his body from the sawmill just in time to save his life, and' prevent tbe gallery from jumping upon the stage. "Blue Jeans" is cleverly staged, excellently acted, and good for as long a run as Mr. Arthur's other play. "A Still Alarm." In tbe summer of 18SS, in tbe lobby of the Princes Theater, in London, where the fire play, "The Still Alarm," was playing at the time, Mr. Arthur revealed to me the bnzz saw germ that has developed into "tilue Jeans." All he bad in his mind s eye then was the buzz saw and the thrilling situation which is de scribed above. It seems likely that Mr. Arthur will upset tbe precedents in tbe case and profit by monkeying with the buzz saw. The comic opera, "Amorita," which Miss Pauline Hall will prodnca here to-morrow night, was played at tbe Bijou in tbe summer of 1887 by tbe Conned and Hcrrman Opera Com pany. Perhaps you remember that very frosty season of light opera. "Amorita" was intro duceirafter the "Fliderraans" had fallen very flat. Mile. Biancbi was tbe Angela the part to be assumed by Pauline Hall on this occa sion and made a great hit in it. Bianchi's singing was the great feature of the engage ment, and Pittsburgers would like to hear her sweet, cultivated and powerful soprano again. As far as my remembrance goes "Amorita" was a melodious little opera, with a few numbers of marked beauty, aud a mild vein of humor. Hepuuen Jonxs. The Programme. The return to Manager Gulick's popular theater of those very frisky comedians, Monroo and Bice, is looked lorward to by all lovers of farce comedy with anxiety and delight. Messrs. Monroe and Rice have surrounded themselves with very clever people who do their share to make tho performance a suc cess. Both the new and the old faces of the company are said to be well received, and the changes made in the cast, if anything, an im provement. The fun is continuous from be ginning to end. The doors open with a lauch, tbe curtain goes up with a laugh and the audi ence go out with a laugh. What more can be desiredf Tbe musical features are new, tbe specialties are new and tbe costuminz of the piece is new. Monroe's character of Aunt JJridgel is well known to the aniusement-goine Iiublic, and be is adding continued success with its new song, the Irish Jubilee. John C. Rice introduces a dancing specialty. W. A. Mack sines bis new sone, "My Mamma Sang to Me." Frank Holland plays tho '"Coal Dealer" and "Glad of It." Miss Ada Jones (by kind per mission of M. Conried), sines "Fair Columbia." The "Aunt Bridget" quartet" renders some ex cellent vocal music "Little Rosebud," Sally McDonald and John C. Klce do oivery difficult negro song and dance, and tbe pretty girls, in still prettier costumes, make up an evening's entertainment of rare merit. To-morbow night tbe Pauline Hall Opera Company appears at the Grand Opera House in "Amorita," which enjoyed a successful run of 150 nights in New York, at the Casino, and of nearly a year in Vienna, where it was first pro duced. "Amorita" will continue to be tbe at traction during the first four nlchta and on Wednesday matinee. For the remainder of the week "Erminle," the most successful of all comic operas, will bo produced. Miss Hall has been over six months rehearsing and complet ing her arrangements for these productions, and has spared nothing to make them a success. She lias expended money with a la vlh band on scenery and costumes, and in Philadelphia, where tbe company opened its first season, about two week,. ago, the verdict was unani- nrB ta tn TivrvH tKitinn W4 a thn una- lvl IUUU3 kit ue fffMMvaovu n w s.440 U4U)k UVUI ful erer teen In that -city. 'Miss Hall wears a SUNDAY, "OCTOBER 17 costume In tbe second act of "AmOTita" studded with over 520,000 worth of diamonds, makiogit the most costly ever seen on any stage. The music of "Arnorita." written by Alfons Zlbuka. is very bright, and has been litelv rearranged by Edcar S. Keller. Miss Hall's musical director, and is now without a single dull number. Everybodv is familiar with tbeweet strains of "Erminle" and the comedy element, which is very strong througbout both pieces, is supplied by tbe well-known comedians Charles H. Drew and Walter Copley. The other members of tho company playing in tbe principal characters are Joseph S. Qreens felder, Arthur E. Miller, Hornle Weldon, Rachael Booth, Bosa Cooke and Pauline Hall. Miss Hall does not appear as a star, but as a member of her own organization. At the Grand Central Bink, the attraction booked for Harry Williams' Academy, will ap pear this week. Gus Hill's World of Novelties is too well known to need much description. Tbe four Bbrode Brothers are remarkably fine acrobats, Gus Hill is a wonderful swinger of clubs, and Charles H. Hoey is a champion among jugglers. Tbe company is said to be strong all around. At Harris' Theater this week Will E. Hlnes and a company said to be ot great strengtb, will appear in tne sensational drama. "Hearts of New York." The scenery aud effects are said to be startling. Other Amusements. The claim that Clarence Dalo, the 6-year-old boy on exhibition at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenuo Museum, has tho largest head in the world, has certainly not been exagerated; the boy has a head that measures fully 48 inches, and during tbe past week has attracted many thousand people to see him; in fact so great has been the desire to look at this marvel of nature that Manager Davis has very wisely concluded to retain him another week. While the boy will be retained another week, all the otber features in every department of tbo Museum will be entirely new; they will consist in part of the somersaulting goat, a marvel of animal training, displaying intelligence that is human; Prof. Burke's acting and boxing dogs, Sullivan and Kilrain; tho MaQinleys, Eddie C. and M'Ue Lotta in her slide for life from the dome of the theater to the stage on a slender wire suspended by her teeth; tho Alsatian gymnastic marvels, DeHaas, the emperor and empress of running globes and Indian clubs; James W.Thompson, the Napoleon of Ethiopian comedy, in songs, witticisms, and side-splitting monologue; the famous transformation dancer Mis3 Kitty Smith, a lady- of rare grace, illustrating in quick succession the styles of dancing in vugue throughout tbe world; tbo German Rose, handsomest of Liliputian ladies; violinist and vocalist; tbo Montague family, mandolin .and guitar soloists; Princess Zoe Zsretta, tbe giuntess moss bair lady; Prof. Lyons' acrobatio polyphonic family of little folks. You could not very well expect to get more than the World's Museum offers for ton cents. The attractions are decidedly out of tbe ordi nary this week. On Friday, October 8, a baby monkey was born in tbe Museum, and this tiny infant, with its Interesting parents, will be on exhibition. Tbe claim is made that tbe birth of a monkey in captivity and in America is an extiaordinary event, and it is certain that very few people here have ever seen a baby monkey in tbe arms of its mother. The parents are said to be Very loving. The den of tame alli gators, crocodiles and armadilloes, the edu cated Australian cockatoos and the Murray midgpt triplets will be retained another week; and Zcnona, the queen of living skeletons, will be seen here for the flrsttime. In the theater Miss Daisy Beverly will appear In a sensational border drama called "Silver Bird, the Dead Shot," in which she will be supported by a good company. Stage 'Whispers. M abcus B. Mayer has secured the Amer ican riehts of "Carmen up to Date" the latest London success by Sims and Pettitt. Miss Agnes Huntington has scored a great success in "Paul Joiies" at the Broadway Theater, New York. The critics all speak her fair. Succl the Italian faster, is in New York, but the Jfirror says the report that he is to go out with a coble opera company on account of his small living expenses, is denied. Jakes Hope, the author of "The Twd' Johns." is reported missing and his friends are alarmed, bnt not a soul would weep or worry if "The Two Johns" were to get lost. One of the lions in "Nero," which Is to be the winter attraction at Niblo's, in New York, riles a bicycle, and another settles all disputes between tbe management and the members of the company. W illiaji Collier, far and away the best comedian in Russell's "City Directory" Com pany, won tbe jewelled badge offered by the Ii amalic -Veuu for the most popular actor in tbe United States. The costume studded with diamonds worn by Miss Pauline Hall in the second act of "Amorita," will be on exhibition during tbe day time this week at E. P. Roberts & Son's jewelry store at the corner of Fifth avenue and Market street. When Birdie Irving, the English dancer, made her appearance in "The Red Hussar" in New York last week the heel of one of her slip pers broke, and, without stopping the dance, she throw off both and finished in her stocking feet. It took tbe house by storm. Edith Kenwabd has written a part for herself in the second and third acts of "Dr. Bill," which will be interpolated in tho per formance next Monday. Miss Kenward is the the voung woman who dances tbe kangaroo dance that all New York' is speaking about tbis week. Over the dressing room doors in Daly's Theater, New York, are inscribed these pieces of disinterested managerial advice: "Mind yourxiwn business; it is the only way to suc ceed," and "Don't speak louder than a whisper." John Drew and Adah Reban have studied these legends until they are letter per fect. Marie Tempest is to stay in this country for some time, and her manager, H. J, Leslie, states that after the close ot "The Red Hus sar" run, she may appear at Palmer's Theater in "Dorothy" and will subsequently appear there in "Doris." It is also given out that Andre Messager is writing a new opera for Miss Tempest. ,t An English exchange says that an essentially new departure of tho dramatic world is about to be tried in Berlin a Socialistio theater tbe arrangements for which have been already com pletely made. The performances will take place on Sundays, and the price of admission will be uniform to all parts of the house, the scats being determined by ballot. The Echo de Pans tells the following good story of the elder Dumas: "On the first night of "Camille,' at the Paris Vaudeville, he at tracted considerable attention from the audience by bis evident excitement. During tbe interlude a friend, thinking to flatter the old man, said to blm, 'There's some work of jours in thlB piece, isn't there?' 'Yes, the author's my work,' was the laconic rejoinder. "Tho Prodigal Son" Is the name of a panto mime row runninn Pans with great success. It is founded on the old Bible sfory, depicting tho life of that well known wayward youth. Americans who have seen the piece pronounce it a great novelty. The entire action of the pantomime is set to music, and tbo character of the Prodigal Son is played by a handsome young woman. It will probably be seen in New York this season. The British Museum has just purchased a relic of Beethoven one of the great composer's daily expense books. The following is a sample of the contents: "January 81 Dismissed tbe housemaid. February 15 Engaged a cook. March 8 Sacked the cook. March 23 En gaged a housemaid. April 1 Discharged the housemaid.

FANCY dancing seems to bo a fad with New Yorkers at present. After they saw Carmen Cita all agreed that shebad no equal on the globe, but all at once a new manager an nounces Otera. New YorkWent to see her and came to the conclusion that'7armencita was as an uncut diamond and Olera the polished stone. While they looked at both dancers they forgot the KIralfjs. who'diave done more to keep fancy dancing in a front place than all of the managers in America.) They are con tinually searching Europe over for new pre miers who have new dances. Un fact In busi ness they continually live in aii air of tinsel, striving to twine it in a picturesque manner over some now ballet, or else diving into the seeming impossibilities of some new spectacle. After otber managers seem to have reached tbe top of the pinnacle these master minds of dancing and spectacle nnvell something new and again we have to thank them A There are lots of other managers smart and brainy, but in a matter of grouping colors and the general ark I V ij stand alone, ot putting togetner tneir productions , turalfvs ""iBSO, Mm Mr. Joseph B. Woodwell spent this, as he has spent many seasons, sketching at Magnolia beach, near Boston. The visitor to bis charm ing studio, in tbe East End, is abundantly re paid by an inspection of his numerour,can vasses. Never in the course of many years' earnest and enthusiastic work has Mr. Wood well done better work than that of tbe past season. The result of Jiis summer's work passes in review before you as the artist places one canvas after another upon the easel and in imacination you live over again tbe pleasant summer vacation days spent at the seaside. Now you are at the very water line, where the breakers dash against great boulders; again In the midst of sand dunes and coast crass, picking yonr way toward tbe beach. A moment later yon are clambering over tbe great, vividly colored rocks of the eoast, from which the distant hor izon line is seen misty and Indistinct, dotted with the white sails of fishing Binacks. Mr. Woodwell is an indefatigable worke', and 25 years of constant and enthusiastio study have ripened his judgment and quickened his band, enabling bim to produce, as he has done this year, 25 or more sketches in one season. Indeed he has attained that degree of knowledge and skill which enables him very often to do be3S that which lie docs most quickly. Take, for instance, a small canvass entitled "East G loi ter." This little picture was painted with great rapidity and freedom. It is a charming little work, possessing beautiful qualitiesof color and feeling. Tho suggestion of a. city in the dis tance is charmingly given, and altogether the picture is narmonious ana aumiramy paimeu. Probably no picture produced by Mr. Wood well in recent years possesses greater strength and fidelity than docs this one, and it will grace any collection to which it may be added. Another small picture which possesses more than ordinary strength is entitled "Off Cobble stone Beach." In tins Mr. Woodwell has ren dered a simple bit of sea, into which projects a bold point of rocks. The rocks are rich and dark in color, giving strength and weight to the picture, and tbe impres sion of the whole scene is very skillfully and admirably expressed. Quite different in feeling and treatment is "Rough Sea," also a small canvas. The water seethes and foams amidst the rocks, as it lashes the beach, and away out at sea you see the moving, restless surface of tbe water as it shimmers under tbe sunlight. Indeed tbe expression of movement is excellent and one of the strong est features of the picture. Two larger pic tures, called "A Gray Day" and "A Gray Morning," are good representatives of Mr. Woodwell's manner in this vein. They are both vigorous and full of the qualities of cloudy weather at tbe sea side. Another larger canvas entitled "On tbeBeacb," is wortbv of tbe most careful examination. The sandy beach, almost overgrown with grass, gives to this picture a peculiarly luminous and pleasing quality. "Tbe Fish Houses" is also an important picture in size and merit. Old dilapidated buildings, such as are familiar to any one who has visited a fishing port, almost fill the canvas and lend a picturesque and de cidedly characteristic air to tbe scene. There, are many other pictures of equal merit and worthy of special note, did the space permit, but the best way to see and understand tbeir beauties is to visit Mr. Woodwell's stndio and enjoy a half hour amidst the works them selves, it is certain that Mr. Woodwell has never done better work than this collection shows and he is to bo sincerely congratulated not only upon the high average of merit and strength attained, but also upon the fact that bis works are meeting with practical and in creased recognition not only here but in eastern cities. . Douglas Tilden, of Paris, the deaf mute artist who won honorable mention at tbe last Salon for his statue, "The Tired Boxer." was present at tbo recent gathering of American Instructors of the Deaf in New z ork. . Mb. Whistler, tbe American artist residing in London, has many admireis In Pittsburg, and they, together with his admirers every where, doubtless regretted the recent wide spread publication from London describing a sensational encounter between the eccentric painter and Editor Moore, of The Bawk. They may now extract at least a grain of satisfaction from the fact, upon the authority of Alfred Trumble, that Mr. Mooro richly deserved the caning he received. "He is the editor of as worthless a sheet as is published in tbo world," says Mr. Trumble, and he adds that Mr. Whistltr, whatever f ollios and vanities he may bo justly cbarged with, is an artist whose fame will suruive its eccentric vital amusement. He is more be is a gentleman in spirit, who, even foolishly and to bis own pecuniary loss, will brook no Insult nor crouch to an affront. The whole affair only added another link of evi dence to the fact that the great impressionist is amply able to take care of himself, if he cannot always take care of his temper." .. Mr. M. De LlPPMAN shows two bright and interesting water-color paintings at Gillespie's tbis week. Doth painted at Saxonburg. . TnE reopening of the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington was an event of great interest and tho management is receivlnz congratula tions upon many changes for the better In tbe arrangement of pictures. The practice of hanging all the pictures from a single rod just below the celling has been abandoned, and Instead two heavy strips of wood have been placed along the walls. From these strips tbe wires depend, the first strip supporting the pictures on the line, while the next strip bolds the paintings which have been assigned to the second tier of frames. Tbe result is most satisfactory, and allows a regularity that is pleasing to the eye, while tho vacant space between the top line of the pictures and tbe ceiling is unbroken by ugly wires. It mleht be. an excellent idea to have the pictures in the beautiful art gallery across tbe river hung in this way. SMr. Geoboe Hetzel was engaged during the week painting an autumn scene, which promises to be one of his good small canvasses. Mb. H. S. Stevenson has settled down to work in bis studio for the season. In addition to bis picture exhibited at the Exposition. Mr. Stevenson has painted two large pictures dur ing the season. One is entitled "The Black smith Shop" and the other represents a bit of pasture land and hills, with a brook and cattle in the foreground. Mr. Stevenson's night class began Monday. Another collection of paintings from the East is promised for the present week. The Board of Directors of tbe Pittsburg Art Society last week held a meeting in the Thaw mansion, the new home of tbe Academy of Science and Art, the Art Society and kindred organizations, for tbe purpose of discussing plans tor tbe present season.

An immense throng surged into Carnegie Hall yesterday to attend tbe twenty-second free organ recital, for which a brilliant pro gramme haa been prepared by Organist Wales. The array of music was of addi tional interest to the public, on account of its international character, and quite a number of the visiting foreigners availed themselves of the opportunity to attend one of tbe only municipal organ recitals in this country. Those who attended applauded the airs of their nationality vociferously. Prior to the commencement Mr. "Wales stated that he had been disappointed in the vocalist for the afternoon, and that in that emergency Mrs. 51. H. Stevenson, of "Wash ington, Pa., sister-in-law of Librarian Ste venson, had happened to be in the building, and bad kindly volunteered to sing without rehearsal, the speaker adding that he was sure that even under the circumstances there would be nothing to apologize for. The audience applauded, and the recital be gan with a brilliant military march by Hilenberg. Handel's great gavotte ht B flat major, the charming gavotte by "Walter Brooks, which is the newest thing in London con certs, and the lovely little gavotte from Mr. "Wales' opera, "Lion of Peru," were then tlayed. The third number upon the pro gramme was listened to eagerly by the British visitors, being extracts from Gilbert and Sullivan's operas. Extracts from six operas were woven into a brilliant potpourri, played entirely without notes. Among other novelties were the great Bussiau air, "La Bose," with elaborate variations; the heavy French national march, "La Parisienne;" oue of the elder Strauss' best waltzes; the great Italian overture, "Se- . This is 189O. A Wise Choice. New York, July 23, 1890. All other reports on Baking Powders signed by me or pur porting to be signed by me are based on investigations made Beveral years ago. In view of the present controversy as to the purity and whole someness of baking powders, I have been requested to make a chemical examination of the leading brands found in the market. My analysis of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder verifies the statement on the label, that the only ingredients used are cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda (both of the highest purity), and a little flour to preserve the strength. My analysis also shows that "Cleveland's Superior" is free from ammonia, alum, or other substitutes. Owing to the purity, strength, effective ness, and constancy of composition of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder, I have adopted the same for use in my home. Henry A. Mott, Ph. D.f LL. D. Late U. S.
