txMmmmsk ySWf0?Ww' izvQr -Cf" ." -i" ', v THE PlTTSBtJHG DISPATCH, SUNDA'f, OCTOBER 19, 1890. 12 m Gay, gayer, gayest will be the social life of the dawning season, unless all signs fail. And as such an anomalous calamity is only, according to the old maxim, considered possible in dry weather we of Pittsburg may anticipate a round of pleasure daring the cominc months that will cast into the shade several of the Bast winters. The social leaders hare evinced their intentions of entertaining on an extensive scale and are making calculations and preparations ac cordingly. Mrs. C. L. Macee, who last year, with her husband, was domiciled at the Duquesne, has now taken possession of her magnificent new stone mansion and will this week in augurate a series of brilliant entertain ments, for which the home by its magnitude and luxurious furnishings, and the lady by her beauty, cnlture and accomplishments are especially adapted. She will throw open her doors to the ultra fashionable musical people for the christening of her artistic music-room, which will be accom plished by Mr. Ethelbert Kevin with a flood of melody and music Other Royal Entertainers. Mrs. Robert Pitcairu will also be hostess this winter, in her own inimitably charm ing manner, to numerous gatherings that will grace the beautiful home over which she presides with such dignity and sweet ness. And the elegant residence at the corner of Forbes and Mevran avenues, to which Mrs. W. Dewees "Wood lends an additional charm and facsination by her presence, and in which she has in such a short time established her reputation as an exceptionally witty, brilliant and gracious hostess, will also witness many a fashion able assemblage this winter. At which, naturally, the two daughters of her husband, Mrs. Dilworth and Mrs. McKee, both famed for their beauty not only in this country, but on the Continent, will appear. Mrs. Mc Kee sailed with her husband yesterday irom Europe, where they have been traveling since their brilliant wedding in Calvary Ejiiscopol Church last winter, and Mrs. Dif- worin has already returned. "With a few snch ladies setting the ex ample, naturally and necessarily others will "follow suit," which reminds me that the season of euchre parties is at hand, and that at one given last week a very amusing com bination was worked in the matter of prizes, unless the mother of the dainty little miss who selected the favors condemned the selec tion. Prayer Book for a Euchre Prize. She chese for the head prize a silver edged prayer book. Think of it, and doubt the truth of the statement, but it is not to be doubted, I assure you, for with my own eyes I saw the purchase, and with my own ears I beara the conversation that enlightened me regarding the purpose for w hich it was designed. And the lair j.urchaser was pretty little miss, hardly in her teens, very much im pressed with her own importance in being In trusted with the errand. She entered a prom inent Jeweler's establishment one afternoon daring the early part of the week, and thero meeting a little companion, hastened to tell her that she was going to buy ono of the prizes for her mamma's partv. And consulting together, they decided upon a prater book as the proper thing, which was duly purchased and charged to account. Whether it ever fulfilled its mission or not is doubtlul, bnt according to the historical ideas of our grandparents it would have been emi nently proper that the winning of a prize at euchre should have been followed by a season ol prayer. The event or the week, leaving out the Stand-lsh-Xevin wedding that was one of the most brilliant affairs ever celebrated in the valley, was the reception given by tho Academy of Art and Science in their new home, the old Thaw mansion, and at which I heard a primary lesson in politeness given a local singer of considera ble note, who said to the young lady whom he was escorting "Come, go through the art room" In rather a peremptory tone. Yon should say, 'will you go through the art roomT" was the reply in silvery tones given by the lady, whether wife or sweetheart, I know not, though the brother of the singer, who is also an artist of recocnized ability, has a charming wife who lanshiugly remarked one day not lonir ajo that, when her husband was Said for his solos at entertainments he always onned a white tie, but his badge of charitable singing was a sombre black one. A Remarkable Incident. This little Incident, which was bad form merely on the part of the gentleman, instead of a flagrant offense against the laws of polite ness, recalls a recent occurrence that is at present occupying the attention of a great many people in the high social circles. It was on the evening of the great iron and steel re ception at tho liuquesno Club, when the in clemency of the weather would have prevented the lady in qnestion venturing beyond the portals of her own home, as she had been for some time the victim of rheumatism, had not me marriage 01 a lavorlte girl friend occurred that night. She telegraphed in to her liveryman to have a coupe for her at the train that evening, not thinklnc that the reception and the demand for carnages would in any way interfere with her order. In fact, her time and attention being devoted more to deeds of chanty and the amelioration of suffering than to the doings of fashionable life, the had forotten about tho reception. When she and her attendant arrived she found as she srpposed a vehicle awaiting her. Speak lDg to the driver, whom she recognized as one who had 6erved her in that capacity on pre vious occasions, she as about to enter the carriage when he informed her that his em plover bad been unable to meet her order on account of the reception and that he was waiting for a gentleman and lady who were going to the Duquesne Club. This gentleman is one ot the wealthiest and best known busi. nes men of Pittsburg. It v as only a few squares to the church where the wedding was to be celebrated, and as it was almost time for the ceremony the cabman sug gested that he could drive her up, saving he could then return before the arrival of the train for which he was waiting. Consequently she, gratef nl for the consideration of the driver, took a seat in the conveyance with her com panion, but just as the cabman was about to mount the box the business man referred to appeared, commanded the driver to descend, and the occupants of the vehicle to alight, which they did. And this lady, past middle life, a woman of retinement and education, prominent for her benevolence, greatness of. heart and humanitarian practices, was com pelled to make her way to a street car and reach her destination as best she could, suffer ing all the while from tbedreadf nl rheumatism. That those who witnescd the occurrence wero greatly shocked and deeply pained it is hardly necessary to add. Kathleen Hcsset Peice. SOCIAL EVERTS OF THE WEEK. Weddings, Parties and All Sorts of Fash ionable Gatherings. A wedding ot considerable importance with a tinge of romance besides was that of Mils Nellie Henderson, the lovely daughter ot At torney Henderson, of Allegheny, and young Mr. Bailey, the popular rate clerk in the Lake Ene depot. It was celebrated at the residence of Hon. Hogeboon Van Renslaer, a near rela tive of Miss Henderson's in New York City where the young lady was. visiting. Miss Henderson it quite youthful, very pretty and correspondingly impulsive, the favorite niece of nrr uncle. Judge Henderson, and no less a pt of her New York relatives, whose name. Van Renslaer, denotes the social position or tho family, and who yielded to the yonng lady's importunities and permitted her mar riage to take place at their home withont her parents' consent. The young man was likewise Tit tins in New York. The wedding, while rather unpremeditated. Is, nevertheless, an ad vantageous one to both bride and groom, as the younc gentleman is possessed of those quali ties that will make him as successful in busi ness as he is in social circles. One of the notablo weddings of the past week was that of Miss jlla McComb and Mr. H. Augustine, which took place at the home of the bride's sister. Mrs. F. B.

Ertzman acted in the capacity of groomsman. The newly married conplo lett after tho ceremony for an extended trip through Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.

Mr. Lutton is stenographer to Civil Engineer Wierman, of the Pennsyl vania road, ana is a weii-imown ana uigmy re spected yonng man. The unfavorable and dis agreoable weather occasioned the rezrets of quite a number of Pittsbnrg and Allegheny people, but all thoughts of clouds and rain vanished from the minds of the many Stcuben villians who responded to tho reception cards and were received by Mrs. Anderson, asissted by her daughter Miss Jennie. The elegant apartments were profusely decorated with flowers and tropical plants, the mantle at tho rear cf the long parlors being banked with flowers formed a beautiful background for the bridal party, who received a show er of congrat ulations from their many friends.

V The Buquesne Theater has risen to the dignity of a tact. A crowd of workmen are toiling inside the theater's frame, which is nearly complete, and in another week it will be nnder roof. The proscenium arch will be in place in a few days, and already some idea of the contour of the house can be obtained. The theater promises to he of the cozy and comfortable kind, and there is no reason, as far as I can see, why Pitts burgers shonld not see the curtain rise there by the first of tho coming year. Mr. Wemyss Henderson, who Is actually in Pittsburg all the time now. is unwilling to Bx a day for tbe open ing, but, as he says, the theater is being built as fast as possible, and the thincs that bave inter fered with tbe erection or the Duquesne iu the past seem to have been swept away. Amoug the first attractions tbe Duquesne Theater will present. If it opens in January, are Agnes Huntington in "Paul Jones" and Fanny Davenport in "Cleopatra." ." Apropos of now theaters, it is said by candid and competent authorities that theatrical architects are not paying enough attention tb acoustics in their buildings. ' Every theater in town has, to my knowledge, some defects in this regard. The science of acoustics is exact enough, but it is more than doubtful it the gen eral run of men who build theaters give it any Eiuuy. jjei us nope tnat air. MCBiiatncx. wno has had abundant experience, will give us per fect acoustics with the Duquesne. VMr. A P. Dunlop, writine of the two latest aauitiona to .new xork theaters, writes: "The architects who have been interested lately with erecting or changing old theaters into new oues, have not been very successful as far as the acoustics of the buildings aro concerned. The new Garden Theater is defective in this, and the other evening: people who visited Herr man's Theater differed widely as to tbe volume of Minnie Palmer's voice. Some protested that they could not hear her, while others spoke la rapture about tbe strength and force of her voice. As Miss Palmer's has been heard dis tinctly In every corner of Her Majesty's and Drury Lane Theaters, in London, it is said that those who could not hear her at Herrmann's occupied seats which the sound waves could not surronnd, and that the new tbeater.like the great majority of other playhouses, the world over, has spots in the orchestra which even the bellowing of a bull would not reach." V In the fall cf 18SS, at almost this time of the year in fact, Mr. Burr Mcintosh was making Pittsburg howl with bis SIx-Footer Club. If Mr. Delauiateris waiting for Burr Mcintosh to save him it is to be feared that the Crawford county statesman is doomed to be disappointed, for Mr. Mcintosh is engaged in much more profitable business than politics at Daly's Theater, Now York. Iu the criticisms upon "Old Lamps for New," the new play by Jerome K. Jerome, brought out by Aucustin Daly at his theater in New York, a good deal of warm praise has been bestowed upon the new come dian in the company, Mr. Mcintosh. A good many of Mr. Mcintosh's friends in Pittsburg are rejoiced to see their confidence in his abili ties justified. If Miss Pauline Hall is wise she will stick to the combination of colors, black, white and sunshiny crimson, in the costume she wears in the first act of "Amorita." It is amazinely becoming to her beauty and as a fair critic said: "A striking and harmonious dress like that is worth more than a peck of diamonds to a woman with such a rare figure as Pauline Hall." V Few youne actors now before the pnbllo can recall so many interesting anecdotes of famous actorsas can Roland Reed. He was "call boy" in the Walnut Street Theater, Phila delphia, in tho days when Edwin Forrest was iu bis prime, and many are the pleasant reminiscences (and other wise) be recalls ot that famous tragedian's pe culiarities. Many of them are good enough to repeat over and over again, but none funnier than tbe follouinc: It seems that Forrest was extremely particular about rehearsing a piece as carefully as though tbe evening perform ance was actually taking place. One morning he kept the company waiting two hours be cause tbe mau who had been cast to play the lighting Gaul in Spartacus bad not arrived. Everybody was anxious to get through the re hearsal, as it was long past tbedinintr hour. Suddenly snmo one among the crowd of super numeraries present was iieara io say: "cully, you know tho fight; why don't you do it?" Forrest evidently overbearing the remark lifted his shaggy eyebrows and walking toward tbe man said: "I understand that there is a gentleman, by namo Mr. Cully, who knows this light, if be will kiudly step this way we will go on with the rehearsal." There w as a great deal of subdued lauchter as Mr. Cully acted upon tho rfroit tT3froiH!nTe m,iiil,iA the great tragedian's mandate. V It is somewhat singular that nobody has arisen to protest against President Harrison's oscnlatory exercise with an actress in Peoria during tho recent Western trip. The papers mentioned tho incident, and described how the President took tbe actress In his arms and kissed ber. Have there been excited meetings throughout tbe land? Have there been resolu tions of censuref Have delegations from the leading societies that look after their neighbors' affairs burned to Washington with ashes on their heads? Not a bit out. The woild has gone along at tbe same old gait, and there is not any more than the usual weeping, wailln and gnashing of teeth in the most proper circles. You see the actress who gave Mr. Harrison a bouquet and bade him welcome in tbe name of Peona, was only a little one dear little Elsie Leslie, the child star of the "Prince and Pauper" Company. Well might the President say as he kissed ber and took the flowers "These sweet flowers are no sweeter than yourself." She is the only actress who has been kissed by the President V The firm of Harris. Britton & Dean, lessees of the Harris Theater here, aro losing tbeir grip elsewhere, as has been reported since Mr. Pat Harris' death. Mrs. Hatris, the manager's widow.

A few days ago the Harris' Theater In Loufs ville passed Into other hands, and It was given out that Louisville wai to be dropped from the Harris' circuit. This report was not correct for ou Thursday last Harris. Britton & Dean obtained a 15-year lease upon a large granite building on Fourth Street, at present used as a furniture warehouse. This hnilding will be converted, before the close of the season into a eround floor theater, with all the lates't im provements, to seat 2,000 people, and cost S150 -000. It will still be a popular price house. ' . The attack on the Academy of Muslo and Manager Harry Williams in a religious paper last week has naturally excited a good deal of indignation. It is tbo old trouble of a man criticising something of which he knows nothing, but it is none the less unjust to Man ager Williams because ignorance and not malice inspired the attack. The Academy of Mnsip is very carefully managed, and tbe pop. nlanty it enjoys is not due to anything but the fact that entertaining performances of vaude ville may be seen there. To single out Mr. Williams and his theater for condemnation is peculiarly unrighteous in ti-ese days, because tbe so-called flrst-cliss theaters more frequent ly each year aro offering variety performances of exactly tbe same klud its the staple of the Academy. Hepburn Johns. . The Programme. The Bijou Theater, after a long spell of faree comedy, will give tbe public a spectacle that has always teen popular and is Bald to be rail ftJu la better shape than ever before, namely, "Around the World In Eighty Days." The most significant feature ot the production is that Messrs. Imre Kiralfy and BoIIossy Klralfy have combined their forces and their brains, after a separation for several seasons, in this undertaking. They promise great things in' the way of scenery, mechanical effects and cos tumes, all of which are new and made for this reduction of "Around tho World in Eighty ays." The introduction of the great Mikado ballet and novel European specialties will form an ensemble such as has never been seen here since the time Kiralfy Brothers produced "Ex celsior" It is said. The deck of tbe steamship, tbe Henrietta, on which Phileas Fogg Starts on his journey to Liverpool, is a perfect setting of new design. Tbe railroad train introduced Is of a realistio kind and it Is said that never before have any mechanical effects So lar;e been worked on the stage. The grand proces sion in tbe necropolis sceue of the second act is said to be ono of tbe most magnificent pageants ever contrived by the Kiralfys,and there seems to be no reason to doubt that the whole pro duction. Including the actors, the scenerv, the ballet, and tbe live elephant, will be worthy of the Kiralfys in their best days. Beginning Monday evening and continuing all the week at the Grand Opera House, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday, Mr. Roland Reed, the very popular comedian, will present his successful comedy, written by the late David D. Lloyd, and which was well re ceived here last season, "The Woman Hater." To see Roland Reed In "The Woman Hater" Is to laugh heartily. The play, while not quite a farce, is not quite a comedy. It borders on both and is perhaps well called an eccentric comedy. Mr. Reed's peculiar methods are well known, and to say that he is absurdly funny is to say what everyone knows. The play is full of laughable situations and Mr. Reed, with bis nasal gurgle, his comical expressions of face and other absurdities, is perfectly irresistible. Mr. Reed grows steadily in popularity and bis pres ent tour, which opened a few weeks ago, is thus far tbe most successful he has ever had. A special feature of all Mr. Reed's productions is tbe attention to appointments and detail. A strung company lend him ample aid. They are: Miss Isidore Rush, Miss Maud Monroe. Mrs. Mary Meyers, Harry A. Smith, William C. Andrews. Ernest Bartram, H. Rees Davies, Julian Reed, Max Fchrmann, James Douglass. THE Academy of Music will be once more open to Its patrons on Monday night, when Whallen & Martelle's Vaudeville Company will appear. The Martelle family comprises six gifted specialists, whose performances are a show in itself. Then thero are Emmerson and Cook, the Earl sisters, Grade Cummiugs, Brown and Harrison, Golden and Quigg, the Sbeppard sisters. Millie May, the jtonclercs. Prof. William Kappes. and other talented makers of mirth and melody. W. J. Flobekce's "Inshavogue," a romantic Irish comedy drama, will be Riven at Harris' Theater this weok by a company ol exceptional merit, under the management of T. H. Winnett. It will be one of tbe greatest scenic productions of the season. Two tanks and a cascade of real water are used. Among the handsomest of tbe stage settings are tbe Il luminated Blarney castle, tbe cascade of real water, the terrino explosion and the jig and reel dance. Other Amusements. Prof, cabhoht Campbell and his wonder ful air ship, tho Aerossttt. will appear a; Harry Davis' Fifth Avenne Museum, Monday. This is the same maohine in which the professor suc cessfully navigated the air In Buffalo in June, IE90; he will forfeit JL0U8 If he can not sail tbrongh the air at will; the mechanism of tho vessel is nearly perfect, and the ship minds her rudder as well as a ship at sea. The machine was built by Adoiph Mitchell, a carpenter In Buffalo; it consists of a box or car; the frame is solid, but the sides aro of coarse woven wire; this car hangs between light timber arms which extend outward and upward from opposite sides like the outrlgcers of a boat; a long hori zontal steel rod joins their outer ends and forms a center of support, upon which hangs a pair of wings; thase wings are of Silk stretched upon bamboo frames, which may be raised or lowered at any angle: before all Is the cigar sbaped gasbac; four two-bladed paddle wheels are provided, two at either end. An electric motor is placed in the car, and furnishes power through simple gearing and leather belting for revolvinc the bladed; tbe whole, with tho motor included, weighs 170 pounds. Prof. Campbell will appear at the museum in the same dress in which he made the sail, and will exhibit the ship and give a description of its workings. While this new feature will be on exhibition all week at the museum, there are a number of others, iocludincBicnor Carlo the Mexican phenomenon; California Ted, the original cowboy wbittlcr: German Rose, the Liliputian comedian; Charlie Tannehill. the boy with tho flowing curls. In the Theatorium there are a number of excellent artists an nounced, including the Two Bees; Leonzo, the Egyptian juggler; lidward Rogers, the Austra lian terpiscboreaii chain nion; the tun Tom m their "Arabian Nights' Dream, or Poetic Vis ion;" Miss Alice Porter: Fickert and Mayon, dancers and vocalists. Manager Davis will also present every lady and child visitor to the mu seum during the week with a handsome sou venir. At tbe World's Museum in Allegheny this week Che Mali, called tho royal Chinese dwarf, who is only 27 inches in height, 42 pounds in weight, but a smart elderly man all the same, is the chief novelty. John Thompson, tbe blind wbittler, will be ready to meet any expert checker player in tho country, and among the other notable people an exhibition will be Emma Scballa, tbe queen of living skeletons; tho baby monkey and its affectionate parents, hve living Egyptian dragons whatever they may be and some other interesting curiosities. The entertainment in the the theater will be riven by Dockstader's Specialty Company, headed by W. L. Dookstader himself. Six amusing teams will appear in the programme, including La Petiie Kitty, tbe smallest singer and dancer in tbe world; Walters Gray and Llewellyn, Harland and Rollison. Lester How ard and Zan Zarrett. Tbe World's Museum Is establishing a reputation for Its enterprising managers. Stage Whispers. Madame Riika has returned to America for another professional tour. Dc Wolf Hopper come3 to us in a few weeks with bis "Castles in tbe Air." Lester And Williams' London Gaiety and Novelty Company will be tbe attraction at tbo Academy October 127, and it is said to be giving au excellent variety performance. It is said that Henry E. Abbey is organizing a comic opera company for next season, of which Lillian Rnssell is to be the star. Miss Russell's contract with the Casino expires next May. A western actor died recently, and his sor rowing manager paid a delicate compliment to the surviving widowby sending a floral pillow with "Standing Room Only" in immortelles, the -Iff ror says. Marie Wainwrioht has recently pur chased a new play from an American, autbor, which will be given a production New York in April. Sho will soon be seen In "Twelfth Night" at the Park. Julia Marlowe will appear at the Broad Street Theater, Philadelphia, next Monday night as Beatrice in "Much Ado About Noth lux," her first assumption of the role. Mr. Creston Clarke will appear as Uenedick. Thojias Whiffen, for many years princi pal comedian with A. M. Palmer's and Daniel Frohman's companies. Is this season in Rose Coghlan'a support, aul, as he Is an expert fiddler, be is inakine a great hit as the poor playwright in "Peg Wofungton." James T. Powers, in "A Straight Tip," will follow "Around the World in SO Days" at the Bijou. Powers will be remembered as one of the leading comedians of the Casino lorces. The piece is said to be a. most excellent skit, and tbe supporting company very strong. THE N. Y. Mirror asKs: "Is there ono com pany In this country, supporting a tragic star, whose playing is satisfactory to an intelligent theateigoert" The Dispatch has not seen It if there is, and tbe betting on the strength of the past is dead against such & phenomenon. Manager Gilmoke, of the Academy ot Music. New York, where the "Old Home stead" has had snch a run. has, with Mr. Tomp kins, bought a piece of property 100x75 feet ad joining the Acadamy stage, which will make it the largest lu the world. A f our-ln-band can be driven right up the stage and turned around on It Vebsona Jarbeau opened to a big houso at Richmond, Va., on Thursday last, the Comte de Fans, the Duke d'Orleans, and their suite occupying tho boxes. The distinguished party were presented to the star and expressed their delight with the performance. The following Snnoay Miss Jarbeau and Manager Bernstein were entertained by the Dake to a dejeuner a la fourcbette. AN English correspondent writing of Terry's Theater, in London, says: "By-the-bye, speak ing ot Terry's, we should call attention to a new fashion recently instituted In that theater. It consists in having a pretty girl to preside over tbe destinies of the box office, one of her duties being to smile sweetly on all purchasers as tbey plank down tbeir half guineas, for stalls." We commend this notion tu Managers Oulick and Wilt with the amendment that the soubrettcs of farce-comedy companies (should be allowed to expend some of their fresh and piquant beauty over tbe box office. Joseph Jbttesson and W. 3. Florence are nlavinc a wonderfully successful encasement at Palmer's Theater, Hew York, where their delightful Impersonations ot Dr. ranglou and Zekial JBomesp tm are received wiih laughter and applause by large and fashionable au diences. It is quite certain that "The Heir at Law" has never before been given such a handsome production. The scene of the oak libray In Lord Duberllfs mansion, with its massive relief work of papier ma che, adorned with paintings by Mr. Jefferson, and the old London street, with its arched gateway, are as fine examples of stage setting as bave ever been seen in this country. Mb, Willakd comes to America without "beat of drums or flourish of ttnmpets," bnt with a record that will appeal to the country with an artistic capacity that will please it. He is to open at Palmer's in "The Middleman." It Is tbe story of an Inventive potter, and tbe work Is put upon the stage very realistically, so much so that men engaged in tbe trade trav eled from all parts of tbe country to see tbs fur naces in full blast on the stage, and to applaud, not only the line acting of Willard, bat his fidelity to tho necessities of a really technical scene. In "Judab." which Mr. Willard will play after "Tho Middleman," a vast concourse of tbe clergy of London accepted the actor'B invitation to tbe plav, and were as enthusiastic In tbeir way over the semi-clerical play as wore the potters over the story of 'aho Middle man.'' A rousing reception was given to tho Ken dais at the Fifth Avenue Theater, New Yorsr, last Monday evening. If Mrs. Kendal had been another Siddons and Mr. Kendal tbe artistic equal of Kean tbe representatives ot tbe play goers of tbe American Republic in boxes and stalls assembled could not have paid more tribute to their art. Each was received with choers, both were summoned to the front four times after Act IL, and at tbe close of the play, alter the curtain bad been lowered and raised many times, and both of the principal actors bad bowed and bowed again, Mr. Ken dal was compelled to make a speech. He bad nothing much to say on such an occasion but "Thank you." but he spoke for a few moments to that brief text in bis accustomed manly and unaffected manner, while his wife stood by bis side with her eyes fixed upon his face. Then, after another burst of cheerlne, the assemblage which filled the bouse to overflowing, dispersed Or the new comic opera at tbe Casino, New York, Mr. Dunlop writes: "The novelty of the week was reserved for Tuesday, when Airy Fairy Lillian Russell made her re-appearance at tho Casino in Mllloecker's much talked of opera, "Poor Jonathan." Miss Russell may with justice claim the chief credit ot tbe per formance. She easily dominated the opera, wbicb, devoid of her presence and her charm, must have hung in the balance with the weight of publio opinion probably against it. An odd work in every way is "Poor Jonathan." It is tbe first dress coat opera ever sung on the Casino stage, and the manner of its reception sets forever at rest tho long-entertained doubt that an opera of coteniporaneous life and so ciety would please the public lb "Poor Jona than,' there is no picturesqueness or romance or poesy gained from the locale. Tho scenes are laid in New York, at Monaco and West Point, and only In tne last named is there an opportunity for rich coloring and striking cos tumes. In the other acts the main characters generally wear tbe sombre evening dress, mak ing a contrast to the brighter but not fanciful toilets of the ladies that is as novel as it is sur prising in a Casino production." The great marine spectacle, "Tho Bottom ot the Sea," will be seen at tbe Bijou Theater November 3. It is said to abound in startling and realistic features. One of the most striking is the fight between a diver and a devil fish. By ingenious artifices the stage is mado to represent tho sea as If looking into its very depths. The diver, clad in his apparatus, descends into the water, and a huge devil fish attacks him. The monster with its many arms entwines the diver, and from an eye witness of the nrodaction, as seen in New York a few weeks ago, it is asserted that it is tho climax ot stage realism and will startle and mystify the oldest theatergoer. In another act the laying ot a cable from the deck of a vessel is shown, and is said to be most novel. It is under the direction of the young master-mind of melo dramatic producers, W. A. Bradv. A good company has been selected, and Frank Kar rington, George Barnum, Adoiph Jackson, Eu- ene O'Rourke, Miss Lillian Lee. Miss Rita 'Neil, Miss Belle Douglas and Miss Fanny Cohen are in tbe cast. W. A. Brady is cer tainly making rapid strides In the theatrical world. GOSSIP OF THE SCHOOLS. One of the city school principals has his teachers recite twice a month to him In psy chology. Prof. Rinehart, at the request of many teachers, is contemplating tho organization of a teachers' Saturday class for instruction in music There is every prospect ot a teachers' guild being organized in Allegheny City. Whether the object of the new society be patterned after the objects of the Pittsburg Guild is not yet known. A report received yesterday at tho Central Board of Education, from Beatrice, Neb., states that two ladles aro members of the Central Board of Education. Prof. E. L. Elliot, tbe newly-appointed assistant at tbe High School, sent word yester day to Secretary Reisfar that business detained him in Auburn, N. Y., and that he could not re port for duty till Wednesday. The Executive Committee of the Normal Alumni held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Tbe annnal reception will be held November li at the Hich School chapel. The Royal Italian Orchestra will be in attendance. . AT A meeting of tbe Executive Committee of the Teachers' Guild yesterday Miss Jennie Simpson, of the Forbes School, was elected to the vacancy in this committee caused by tbu resignation of Prof. L. H . Eaton. A number of names were suggested for membership. The big institute for tbe Pittsburg teachers will be held November 13 and 14. Superinten dent G. M. Phillips, of the West Chester Nor mal School; George M. D. Eckelos, of Ship pensburg; Z. X. Snyder, of Indlana;T. B. Noss, of California, and Superintendent Alaltby, ot Slippery Rock, bavo signified their intention of being present SUPERINTENDENT Morrow, of Allegheny, held an institute for the teachers of steps 1. 2, 3and41astweek, at tne High School. Talks on "Morals and Manners" and "How to Teach Reading" wero given by Superintendent Mor row. The new supervisor of drawing in the Allegheny schools is from Boston, and his ar rival is daily expected. Mrs. M. V. Hushes, a prominent lady in W. C. T. U. circles, has written to Superin tendent Lucky asking how many schoolhouses there are in Allegheny county. This request divulges the information that there are 1,461 schoolrooms, 253 of them being iu Allegheny City and 591 in tho Pittsburg schools. There are 333 schoolhouses in the county. To-morrow tho evening schools commence and will continue 40 nights. By opening thus early tho term will be over by Christm as. This move on the part of the Committee on Night Schools is considered a wise one, as the break caused by the Chris, mas holidays heretofore proved very dlastrous to the attendance. The schedule of tho salaries fortlie teachers of night schools remains tbe same as last year. Additional teachers are still being elected: Miss Maggie Frew, in tbe Colfax: Miss Clinton, in the Liberty; Miss Laura Taylor and Miss Bessie Bright, In the Hlland. At tbe last named school two more rooms of tbo old build inc aro again put in use. Miss Minnie Mc Brlde succeeds Miss Millexjn the Allen schools. The latter accepted a position at Swissvale. The Allen schools are la a very crowded con dition. Now that the Exposition Is over and the educational display received its deserved share of admiration, tho question Is often asked "What will now bo done with itt" The 14 volumes ot written work will be left at the High School and keep company with tbe dls- JLT L.A.TIDVIIIEIR'S "SHIP A-HOr OUR STEAMER ETRURIA, CUNARD LINE, Was tbe last vessel reaching Stxr York uhder tbe old tariff regulations.

B. arecckle. of the Ninth ward school, Allegheny, and Prof. Slack, ono of the supervisors of muslo of the Allegheny school, spend some time every Tuesday in training a choir ot voices at tbe Western Peni tentiary. Last Tuesday a party of teachers, chaperoned by Prof. Arbackle, visited this in stitution and made a circuit of all the buildings and were much pleased with all to be seen. There are now 627 Inmates, 27 being women. The new south wing will be completed by tbe holidays, which will afford accommodations for 1.200 prisoners. By the removal of the walls between tbe north and the south wines of tbe building a fine unbroken view of 1,000 feet will he the result. When the party reached tho schoolroom of the establishment they murmured, "Nw we are at borne" but as the school boar was past they did not get the chance to give any suggestions in tbeir own line of business. In tbe library are many volumes and all the daily paners are read by the prisoners. The convicts have tbeir home laid ont like any city and Veto street, Boston Common, Castle Garden, Bridge of Highs are appropriate appellations, Dut what most touched the humor of the visitors was tbe fact that tbe convicts call the pum'p tho One-armed Landlady.
