If yen liys in Chicaco or any of its many
suburbs and aspire to culture either super
ficial or genuine you must be seen one
evening of the week during the conrse at
the Stoddart lectures. They arn given in
Central Music Hall every evening, except
ing Saturdays, for the period of six veers,
the past week being the third, and it is de
cidedly the proper thing to attend.
Por the really cultured and those desirous
of gaining knowledge, the lectures are re
plete "with interesting information and in
spire further study and research. For the
simply would-be cultured, they are a fash
ionable diversion, and a smattering of the
various subjects treated each of general

effort on the part of the gainer.
learning AXade Jasy.
Stereopticon views, "home made" it
might be said, as they are the result of
pictures taked by Mr. Stoddart's own in
dividual photographer, who accompanies
him on all of his travels, are used in illus
trating the lectures, and naturally add to
their interest.
The most papular lectures of the course
this year are the "Passion Play" and "The
Midnight Sun." They have aroused so
much enthusiasm that Mr. Stoddatt has
been forced to make two extra dates for
them. In appearance the man so noted tea
writer and a lecturer is slightly disappoint
ing tipon first impressions, for were he not
so intellectual he would be considered
foppish. In the very extreme of evening
dress, with curled mustache, and locks
parted in the middle, careSully manicured
finger nails, and exquisitely shaped hands
of remarkable whiteness, Mr. Stoddart re
calls memories of Berry Wall.
Improves as He Talks.
Bnt wait until he commences to talk; then
you have a polished, cultivated and learned
gentlemat. before you, graceful, exceedingly
so, bright, brilliant and instructive. And
you wonder no longer at the pronounced
popularity of his lectures that have been a
drawing card for 12 successive seasons in
the "Windy City.
"While the audience that I observed at the
lecture I attended was a well-dressed one
no Chicago audience consisting of the wealth
and fashion of the city could be otherwise
yet full dress was the exception, and
it was at the Auditorium on the
evening of the dedication of the grand
organ that I had full opportunity of view
ing, not with a critic's eye but a newspaper
eye, the costumes that are considered cor
rect by the leaders of society. Tney, the
leaders, were all there, and during tne
exercises filled the boxes, the parquette and
the dress circle much to the dazzlement of
the joor newspaper eve. Such an array of
loveliness In human form and raiment is sel
dom witnessed, and when during the inter
mission every one left his or her seat and
promenaded down and around the richly car
peted halls, the effect was simply excnantlnc
Chicago's Troper Gowns.
Demi trains were worn to the exclusion or
long, full trams, and, by the way, extremis s
affect them on the street and even moderates
have their street costumes touch. Everything
Is deml tram and wonderfully plain, bnt
awfully stylish, I: would simply be impossible
to tell bow the gowns are donned, for snch a
thing as a button or a hook and ere or even the
suspicion of such would be treason to the
artistic effect desired, and iconic' not be toler
ated. I actually studied one gown for several
minutes to see if I couldn't discover n here and
bow it got on to the maiden, but it was a regu
lar Chinese puzzle and forced me to the con
clusion that it wasn't a made-up gown at all
but simply material draped to simulate one.
An especially pretty cotame that harmon
ized perfectly with the silvery balr of the
wearer must have been fashioned from the
new fabric that is being manufactured in
France Just at present and has glass for a
foundation. It's dreadfully eipensive.as it takes
12 hours to make one yard, bnt it's wonderfully
pretty and fairly dazzling in effect.
The Bonnets and Cloaks.
Of course bonnets were all removed before
entering the main part of tbe auditorium, bnt
some seen as the ladies left their carriages were
comoosed of nothing moro nor less than possi
bly two tinted tips and a tiny bit of vire to
hold them in place. They rested so lightly on
the hair tLat not a single curl seemed crushed
or disarranged when they were remo ed.
Opera cloaks, worn with the exception of
some rases of white Perisian lamb, which were
taken into tbe boxes and thrown over the
shoulders at the very suggestion of a draft,
were of the same airy, feathery effect astbo
bonnets, bnt of sufficient warmth to protect tbe
alabaster necks and arms they covered.
Tbe dedication of the organ, which is a mag
nificent instrument, was. effected with Sir.
Clarence Eddy at the kej board, a full orchestra
on the stage, and Miss Christine Nielson and
iSignor Vittorio Carpi as soloists. Tbe organ
had been used before, but bad never been
formally dedicated. The Hon. De Witt C.
Crezler, Mayor of tbe city, delivered the only
address, and of course eulogized Chicago, tbo
Auditorium and the organ to the entire satis
faction of the audience.
Reception of the Favorites.
Mr. Eddy, well known in this city, is a great
favorite with Chicago people, and the swell of
the organ conld not drown tho swell of the ap
plause that was given him, sometimes In the
very midst of a number. It was Miss Nielson's
debut, but her position as a singer and a beauty
are now both clearly established. She was a
perfect sunbeam in golden crepe de chine, with
slippers and gloves to correspond. She has
bean studying in Europe for several years, and
a brilliant f ntnre is predicted for her.
About five years ago when Miss
Kielson was just discovering the treasure
she had in her voice, a wealthy banker en
deavored to persuade her to give him a right
and title to tbe treasure he ban pre ioasly dis
covered both in tbe voice and tho girL Bnt
Miss Nielson was not to be won by opera boxes
and diamonds, though they were showered at
her feet; She preferred obtaining a musical
edccation, even at great sacrifice, to becoming a
bride, and thongh in moderate circumstance,
she declined the nattering offer and has made
the fight, with tbe assistance of kiud relatives,
for the position she now occupies as a prima
donna. Donbtless she will have to refuse
numerous offers now, as Chicago, metaphori
cally speaking, has embraced her, and her suc
cess and popularity are assured.
Signor Carpi was already an indorsed check
and passed without discount. Altogether the
assemblage and the programme combined
formed one of the most brilliant events of the
season in Chicago, a city of brilliant events.
A City of CInbs and ITotcls.
The "Windy City must soon be called the City
of Clubs if clubs continue to materialize as
rapidly in tbe future as they have in tbe past.
There are gents' clubs, ladies' clnb, business
clubs and social club;, confronting one at
every turn as hotels will after the World's Fair,
judging from the number that are to be built.
If Mr. Pullman and 1. Frank Aldrich and tbe
rest of the capitalists invest their surplus cash
in tbe buildings tbey arc contemplating for the
fair, after It Is over Pittsburgers can pay car
fare and sare money bv rooming in Cbicaco.

Uttle Gatherings of Friends That Made the
Evenings Delightful.
Miss Ethel Claire Bitchey, a young miss of
ome eight summers and dangliter of Mr. Syl
vester C. and Mrs. Lizzie Walton MclL
Bltcbey, of Henry avenue, Sewickley, gave a
birthday party last Thursday evening to some
N0 of her friends of about equal age. The ju
venile guests were mostly all present at the ap
pointed time, and without'waiting to scrutinize
what each other wore, entered immediately on
their sports. "Whether dancing originates
among the most rude and barbarous people of
the world or prevails more among them than
other nations is not positively agreed upon, but
the grace and accuracy with which tbe little
masters and misses ran through the different
dances was rather remarkable, and espe
cially as some of them were never trained in
the genius of the art, being of joo tender an
age. When the young masters cot into an
apartment by themselves, they formed such
tableaux virants as are never seen on any stage
nor in any representation of historical or other
scene. They were vivanta in reality, bnt as
shifting as the quicksand. Tbe presents re
ceived by Miss Ritchey were at once numerous,
costly and useful. Tbe staid old people who
graced the scene with their presence had viv
idly recalled to their recollection tbe sunny
days of youth and childhood, when they In
dulged in similar sports and pastimes.
Chyrsanthcmums and chrysanthemum shows
are all tbe rage just at present; The third an
nual exhibit of the Chicago Florists' Clnb, held
in that city last week, was largely a "enrys
show, and the one in Philadelphia next week
makes no pretentions to being anything else
bnt an exhibit of the lovely fluffy
blossoms, that are attracting so much attention
among florists and their customers. Pittsburg
Is, as usual, to the front in the cbyrsan
themum matter, and Florist Patterson,
on Sixth avenue, has bis window
filled with the most exquisite blossoms
of the kind. Borne resemble huge snow
balls, others seem big white bunches of
petals covered with spines that look as intangi
ble as tbe frost on the window pane. Mothinc
like them bas ever been seen in the city before,
and the ladles are fairly in raptures over tbem.
Any number of chrysanthemum receptions
and weddings are booked for the next few
weeks.

think Dawes Is afraid to tackle Bmitb, and
talk ot asking Post 230 to (end Comrade John
Harvey up to compete with him, as they must
have a race of some kind. On Monday evening
Colonel J. W. Patterson, W. R. C. No. L will
visit the fair in a body and will be escorted
from the incline by Prof. Engel's Brass Band
and members of the post. JlcGinness, Smith

body, a beautiful piece of silverware, to be con
testedjfor by members of visiting organizations
while at the fair.

dent, has returned irom organizing a circle to
be known as "Ransom Circle No. J, Natchez,
Miss. Tbe new circle has 40 charter members,
and 12 comrades wero also obligated,
Tbe Ladies' G. A. R. Homo at Hawkins sta
tion was the happy recipient of a box from

county. Pa., with 11 hats made by the members
of that circle. Special mention should be made
of Grandmother Bollch and Sister Alblna
Hicklen, who is. 8G years old, and Sister Mary

An entertainment and supper was given by
the ladles ot Hirst Circle in their haU at New
Albany last week, which was numerously at
tended by tho best people of the place. The
entertainment opened with "America," by
Comrade Reddlngton, of New York, and a
number of young ladies appropriately cos
tumed. This was followed by an address by
Mrs. C. E. Hirst, National President of the
Ladies of the G. A. R-, who introduced Mrs.

dered some very fine music, and the entertain
ment closed, when all retired to the dining
room to partake otthe dainties prepared by the
ladies.
Comrade Tom Stewart's He-Election.
Comrade Thomas J. Stewart's re-election to
the Office of Secretary of Internal Affairs was
doubtless pleasing to all the Grand Army men
of the Department of Pennsylvania. Perhaps
no comrado in the department is better known
or better liked than the popular Past Depart
ment Commander.
He Is a member of Post 11, Norristown. Pa
is styled the "silver-tongued 'orator," and is
affectionately termed by his comrades the
"strawberry blonde." That be may livelong
and prosper is the earnest wish of the veterans
hereabouts.
Captain McClelland for Adjutant General.
Captain William McClelland has been sug
gested for the appointment In Governor Paul
son's Cabinet as Adjutant General. Such an
appointment would highly please the comrades
of the Grand Army throughout the country.
He is popular and well known. He is active in
local Grand Army circles, as well as national.
He Is a Past Commander of Post 259, of this
city, and is now serving his third term as a

tration. He is also active in Union Veteran

TALES TOLD OUT OF SCHOOL.
New York teachers are organizing a big
fair. The proceeds are to be used for. a fund to
pension teachers who have taught 33 years, and
to help teachers who are ill and penniless.
Tna decrease in attendance at the Duquesne
First ward, school, made tbe dismissal of a
teacher a necessity. Miss Powers was accord
ingly dropped at tho last meeting of the board.
R. J. HEHxnraKAT. one of the directors of
tho South school, has moved to tho Twenty
third ward. This vacancy in the South school
board has been filled by the election of John
Armstrong,
ON Thanksgiving Day the Glenwood school
a new four-room structure in tbe Twenty-third
ward, will be presented with a flag by the Sam
Black Council of tho Jr. O. U. A M. The fol
lowing Monday the pupils are expected to oc
cupy tho building.
Sore-throat, or a mild form of diphtheria,
has had a thinning-out influence on the attend
ance at the St Clair School, Twenty-seventh
ward, the past week or so. Thus far only one
death has resulted.
Tns night schools in the several wards are
doing successful work. That of tbe Washing
ton School, Seventeenth ward, begins oper
ation to-morrow evening. Four teachers will
be In charge. They were elected at a meeting
held last evening. In the Luckey district night
schools are In progress at both buildings. '
IN one ot tho lower primary rooms of tho
Sobo school are three sets of twins, two of
them being boys and one girls. In case of the
latter and one pair of boys, one can detect a
slight dissimilarity, but the other pair of boys
are a perfect double, and the teacher can dis
tinguish them only when they are at their
assigned desks. The consequence is that one
ets blamed for what tbo other does, but they
oth console their teacher by telling her that
sometimes their mamma knows them and some
times she doesn't. When this merry mixing
occurs the teacher threatens to put a tag on all
of the twins.
Only two members responded to the call for
a meeting of the Music Committee at 2 p.m.
yesterday not a quorum. It was the intention
to make the final arrangements of the schedule
for the two musical supervisors to follow, which
comes before tbe Central Board for action next
Tuesday. A proposition was made as to the
advisability of each supervisor alternating in
the other's district each month for the present
school year. Both Prof. Rinehart and Prof.
McCargo were present, and favored the propo
sition, which will be referred to the Central
Board on Tuesday.
AT the First M. P. Church, Fifth avenue, the

GOSSIP OFJHE GUARDS.
Captain James K. Mhbdock, of the Sec
ond Brigade staff, returned from a trip East
yesterday.
Major Waiteh Gbeeniand, Second Brig,
ade Quartermaster, spent a few days in the
city last wees.
Captain Geoboe Welshonb went East
last night to consult with tbe new Governor,
Mr. Paulson. Mr.Welshons and tbe Governor-elect
are on terms of great intimacy.
A MEETING of the Board of Control of the
Eighteenth Regiment was held last night in
the armory building on Diamond street. A
number of matters of ceneral importance to
the regiment were transacted.
The Second Regiment, under command of
Colonel O. C. Bosbyshell, will celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of its organization on De
cember 7, There will be a street parade in the
afternoon and a banquet at night.
Lieutenant Geoboe H. Sands, of the
Sixth U.S. Cavalry, who has been spending
some time In this city on leave of absence, has
been ordered to Washington, D. C, on an ex
tended detail. HeMeft for his new home last
week.
A battalion drill of the Eighteenth Regi
ment will be held next Thursday evening on
Forbes street. It Is probable Colonel Bniith
will handle the regiment that evening, as he
has almost recovered from his fall of some
weeks ago.
The members of Battery B have almost
completed arrangements for a fair to be held
in the' armory on Fifth avenue. It will be
started early in December and will continue
several weeks, the proceeds to be devoted to
the purchase of a dress uniform. The scheme
will undoubtedly cejuccessful as the boys are
working hard.
No steps have yet been taken by the officers
appointed by Colonel Bmithto make arrange
ments for a non-commissioned officers' school
in the regiment. The matter is a most im
portant one, and should not be overlooked, as
almost one-half ot the non-commissioned offi
cers now in tbe regiment have been appointed
since tbe school adjourned last winter.
The defeat of Colonel Alexander Hawkins,
of the Tenth Regiment, in his canvass for the
State Senate, was certainly a misfortune to the
guard, as he is one of the brightest officers In
the Secono. Brigade and wonld have been a
useful friend of the militia boys in the State
Legislature. Had his election depended on tbe
vote of tbe members of the Second Brigade he
would have been returned.
The postponed election in Company B.
Eighteenth Regiment, for Second Lieutenant,
will take place to-morrow evening. At the last
meeting of tbe company orders were posted re
ducing a number of the non-coms to the ranks,
among them being First Sergeant Jerry Fitz
patrlck, who has been in that position for tbe
past five years. Considerable ill feeling has
been generated over the election, but It is prob
able that to-morrow evening will find matters
straightened out satisfactorily.
Owing to the extension of the season of
target practice the shoot for the gold dollar
badges presented by Captain Schmltt, of tho
Fourteenth Regiment, to enlisted men has been
postponed until next Saturday. The badges
are very pretty and as all enlisted men in the
three local organizations are eligible to enter
it is expected the match will be quite an Inter
esting one. Entries should be made to Captain
Scbmitt before the day of the match, which
will take place on tbe Saltworks Range.
Adjutant a B. Hates, of the Tenth Regi
ment, In reeard to Captain John P. Sherwood
and the office of Major of the regiment, says:
"Captain Sherwood was the senior Captain,
and tbe position of Major was tendered him
unanimously, not only before tbe election but
also on that night, and he peremptorily re
fused on account of his failing health and a
pressure of private business to remain In the
guard. Fifteen days before the election he
bad telegraphed each Captain of the different
companies of the regiment be would not allow
his name to be used as a candidate for the
position of Major."
One week more for target practice this season
remains In which members ot tbo National
Guard may qualify. The ranges at High Bridge
and Saltworks will consequently be pretty busy
should the remaining few days prove good. Tho
number of men to the company which have to
be practiced this year in order to receive the
State commutation for rifle practice has been
increased to 40, and in order to get within tbe
safety bounds several of the local companies
will have to hustle pretty lively tbis week.
Colonel Watres, the General Inspector of Rifle
Practice, IS anxious that his last season in tbe
department ot the National Guard should be
tbe banner year, and it Is extremely probable,
such will bo the case.
The election of Mr. Pattlson as Governor
basset the militia boys all over the State
figuring as to who will be thone'xt Adjutant
General, the all-Important position id the
National Guar d. Several gentlemen from this
end of the State are prominently mentioned,
and as Allegheny county played such anim-
fiortant part in Mr. Pattison's election, it is not
mprobable his Adjutant General will be
selected from this city. Lieutenant Colonel
Frank i. ltutieage nas neen suggested tor tne
place, and his appointment would certainly be
a most satisfactory one. General P. M.
Guthrie, Mr. Pattison's former Adjntant
General,-is also spoken of, as is also Colonel
Frank Magee. of the Eighth Regiment. Ex
Colonel Chambers McKtbben, of this city, has
also been suggested for Inspector General, and
his ability to fill tbe position is certainly un
questioned. Quito a number of gentlemen in
this city who bad selected themselves for
places on Mr. Delamater'B staff when be was to
have been elected, have concluded not to order
uniforms just yet.
Art and Artists.
It has long been acknowledged by artists
and art critics of this city that Mr. E. W.
Histed stands alone at the top of the ladder
as an artist in pastel and water colors. Mr.
Histed studied under the best masters in the
Government School of Science and Art,
England.
Several fine samples of Mr. Histed's work
are on exhibition in the windows of B. & O.
