saK2ts "T??3 v?v w.ro'q e&BWWV - df ST a -r ' vr v -7 .!' -"-' 14 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 1890. A. Buyan Wall and II. S. Stevenson were appointed a committee ou art liy the commit tee ot Councils in Allegheny, with power to add one to their number. Several proposi tions have been made by Allegheny gentlemen lookine to a temporary or permanent art exhibition in the Oarnecie cal lery. The most leasible of these suggestions, probably, is the one which contemplates a kind of perpetual loan exhibition. There seems to be a contradiction of lerras here, bnt that is about what the proposition means. Public spirited art lovers who own paintings are to be invited to loan their pictures for a limited time, one collection to take the place of an other, and thus the loan exhibition is to be continued indefinitely. This is perfectly feasible and an excellent plan. The Metropolitan -Museum ot S'ew York contains works of art and vertu every year which are loaned in this way. Collectors of paintings can put their works to no higher use. and the public spirit heretofore shown in this direction is a sufficient guaianteo that such a plan can be successfully carried out in Pittsburg. The good people have ahvavs been and are willing to shate with their neighbors the pleasure and influence tthich flows from good works of art, even though such sharing means some incon venience. 1 He educational influence of such an exhibition isnf the utmost importance to the two cities. It is simply impossible to compute the influence such an exhibition will exert. JIany thousands of people will, during a season, care fully and repeatedly study the works shown, and if proper care is taken in the selection of the pictures exhibited, the popular taste will be cultivated in the only way possible. Mr. Jacob Ueeson, the father'of wood en graving in Pittsburg, and a gentleman well known in art circles, was in the city last week, after an absence of a year or more. The suggestion was made last week b a co temporary that an old-fashioned cider-press would be a picturesque feature In the Schenley Park. Why not a typical bit of Pennsylvania farm, including the cider press. It is there now in its native rusticity and beauty, and only needs the command ot Mr. Uigelow to preserve it. Indeed, the peculiar quality which belongs to an old farmhouse and surroundings must oe preserved, it cannot ue manuiactureu. in a lew years at most the park will everywhere present a wealth of artificial beauty. Care lully kept walks and trim lawnR will gradually creep over the face of nature. It would bo sJniply charming to come, in the midst of cul tivated beauty, upon a quaint little farm with all that that name suggests the worm fence, the haystack, the suing in the apple tree, the SDring house. A garden fenced in with split oak pailings could be literally crowded with old-fashioned flowers. Hollyhocks, marigolds, phlox, ladyslippers, sweet peas, poppies, morn lnglories, and all the other flowers so dear to a thrifty farmer's wife could be made to bloom and blaze in the summer sunlightto the delight or thousands, aye, hundreds of thousands of city people who seldom get he3"ond the ciry line and to whom the memory of just such scenes are very dear. The old Snider house in the curve of the road is just the place. What cay you. Mr. Bigclow, is not this a suggestion worthy of adoption?

Mr. E. D. WILT.. .Lessee and Manager The New York Press says: There is a water color exhibition at Keppel's, in Sixteenth street, this month, which is quite worth a visit. Some of the best of the American artists are represented, and the only water colors by Will Jam T. Richards which will be seen this year Rre at this gallery. W. Hamilton Gibson's contributions are most satisfactory, especially so is "A Connecticut Intervale." It almost seems as if the atmosphere of ibis lanoscapo could move and breathe. There i a grim weirdness in Childe Hassam's Xight," and the usual appeal to the poetic if somber side of na ture in A. H. Wyant's Trees" and "High lands." George Smillic has a "Study of Old Willows." Walter Saterlee, some picturesque figures: C. T. Chapman, several interesting marines; Bruce Crane records the fading tints of autumn, and J. Francis Murphy pictures some exquisite bits of last summer's greens and blues. Special interest attaches to this ex hibition because these are the pictures secured by the President of the Pittsburg Art Society for exhibition at one of the society's receptions in January. A novelty in the way of an "art" exhibition is that of a collection of theatrical posters at the clubhouse of the 2s ew York Grolier Club. r The special excitement in the Sew York art world last week uas the presence in that city of the Art Committee of the Chicago World's Fair. The committee appeared quietly and with the idea of not having its advent known, to take a look over the art Held there with a view of perfecting arrangements for securing the best example of paintings owned in that city for a loan exhibit that shall do credit to the art patronage and connoisteurship of America. They don't know nut in Chicago that wa now have in Pittsburg the finest, it not one ot the largest, collections or naintings in the country. There are several things they do not know in Chicago. Arthur Lcmi.ey. who was a war artist for J.anlc -Z.esiVjr Illustrated, has become totallv blind from cataract. The Sew York Wrater Color Club, recently organized, opened its first exhibition during the week in the American Art Galleries, Sew York. Many new names anpear in the list of contributors, and the collection is spoken of as a very good one. The older organization, the American Water Color Society, does not open its exhibition until February. Jin. D. B. Wai.ki.ey is engaged painting an interior from a sketch made near Cleveland. w The Haseltine collection remained in the city longer than Mr. Constans expected it to remain. A number of canvases were sold, among the number beinc the one by Rosa Bon heur. The collection was removed Friday. Patents Reported.

They loved cozy homes, and were fond of comforts as well as you are, but when they wanted to buy furniture they had to wait until they saved enough cash to pay for every cent's worth they got. The credit system was then unknown. In fact, it is not many years since people looked upon the asking of credit as they did upon begging. Of course they were wrong, and it took FAIR DEALING houses like ours to educate them out of their error. When you can get honest goods of any kind at cash prices, with out being compelled to pay for the privilege of getting credit, then credit is a blessing; but when you get poor goods at prices away above the prices of cash houses, then credit is not the blessing it ought to be. OUR GOODS are always the VERY BEST, and OUR PRICESare not one whit higher than those of cash stores. WE MAKE CREDIT A BLESSING, NOT A CURSE! In the old times, too, a store 15x20 was a good sized one. The total area of our store (six floors) is over 50,000 square feet, and every floor is packed with honest goods of EVERY DESCRIPTION, making it unnecessary to go from under our roof to find anything YOU MAY NEED FOR FURNISHING YOUR HOME OR CLOTHING YOUR FAMILY. P1P7RIZI ONE OF KEECH'S BEDROOM SUITES. ONE OF KEECH'S PARLOR SUITES. Ours is the leading FURNITURE HOUSE in the city of Pittsburg. Ask for any new style of Parlor, Chamber, Dining Room or Library Furniture, and we can show it. In the Carpet line we stand second to no place in this city. Our newly-enlarged carpet room is the hand somest in the city, and, as far as our prices are concerned, we wish to say right here that, al though most other houses have raised theirs since the passage of the McKinley Bill, we are still selling at the same old, low figures. We also have Lamps, Glassware, Chinaware and Kitchen Utensils of every description Stoves and Ranges, ditto. Our Cldthing Department contains everything that stylish and economical man can desire, while our Cloak Room offers a sufficient variety of styles to suit the most fastidious lady. But why continue. Call in and see what we have. There is a hearty welcome for all, whether they want to buy or not. Those who do wish to buy will find a larger, fresher and more reliable stock of goods than is carried by any three credit houses in the Gas City, and will save about 25 per cent by dealing with us. Don't be afraid to come in. It is no trouble to show goods, and our polite salespeople take a pleasure in making you feel perfectly at home with us. K.
