THEV PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUKDAT, NOVEMBER 23, 1890:'-T
WF
A bride ami groom that represent two of
the prominent social families of the very
aristocratic State of Virginia are in the city
just at present and are the recipients of a
great deal of attention. But, sad to relate,
the attention is not of the nature usually be
stowed upon a bridal couple in the shape of
receptions, teas, parties and luncheons. No,
indeed! It is the attention given by skilled
physicians, trained nurses and kind friends,
whose thoughtfulness and watchfulness do
much to lighten the gloom of the long
weary hours of the honeymoon, that, through
the unfortunate railroad accident at 2ew
Florence recently, are being spent in the
West Penn Hospital.
The "Wednesday preceding the disaster
was the wedding day of this young couple,
and with all the brilliancy that wealth and
a high social position could command the
nuptials were celebrated at the home ol the
bride's parents, between "Warrenton and
Manassus Junction, in Virginia. A long
list of bridal attendants, among which, as
maid of honor, appeared Miss Clarkson, the
daughter of Dr. Clarkson, the quarantine
physician at Fortress Monroe, assisted at the
ceremony that translormed Miss Carter into
Mrs. Dulany, and, with a number of guests
representing the wealth and aristocracy of
that locality, made the Carter mansion ring
with merriment until the departure of
the newlv-married couple for "Washington,
D.C.
The Cnfortunato "Wedding Trip.
There, Emma Juch, in "Carmen" passed
away a pleasant evening, and the wedding
journey was continued on the ill-fated train.
The injnries received by the young couple,
however, are not, as was at first feared, fatal.
If all goes well theT will be able, in the
couiseof a month or so, to return to their
Southern home or pursue their journey to
Dulutti, their luture place of residence,
where Mr. Dulany is a prominent real estate
dealer.
In the meantime, in a private apartment at
the hospital, surrounded by every luxury
that wealth and influence can procure, are
Mr. and Mrs. Dulany, who have in their
brief stay in the city, in spite of their great
suffering, matte friends innumerable. Ac
cording to Dr. John Dickson, who took
charge of the case at the request of mutual
Southtrn mends, the bride is a beauti'ul
girl a typical Southerner. She has most
glorious eyes, periect teeth, clear-cut features
and a complexion of exquisite coloring.
She is possessed also of a wonderful grace
and charm of manner, talented and accom
plished. The groom is likewise a Southerner in every
particular, endow ed with more than a liberal
allowance of inanly beauty, of a nigh order of
intellect, and vide and varied attainments,
with a decided air of to-lhe-manor-born.
Attending tbeiu daring their illness 13 Miss
Carter, a sister of tue bride, who came on im
mediately, with a gentleman escort a valued
friend of the family and Mr. Dulany's busi
ness cartner. from Duluth. Virginia friends
are in consternation -over the unfortunate
affair, but the reassuring telegrams sent by in
terested persons at this end of the line have
partially allayed their fears, and they are now
anxiously awaiting the recovery of the favorites
who, as one fair letter-writer Jput it, "never
before seemed so dear."
Pleasures of Thanksgiving.
Preparations for Thanksgiving Day have oc
cupied the attention of society largely during
the past week, and everything has been sug
gestive of the coming holiday, even to the an
nual dinners served by the ladies in the dif
ferent churches, whose marked superiority
over ordinary dinners reminded one forcibly of
Thanksgiving delicacies. In diverse ways w ill
pleasure be indulged in throughout the rity on
that day of thankfulness. For the matinees, of
whicii there will be one at each theater, num
erous parties have been organized; llkewiso
for the evening performances, and Gilmore's
concert at Old City Hall wilt be graced by six
or seven charming concert names that will
afterward be lunched or dined at popular res
taurants. Thebaic and Frinceton champion football
contest in New York o Thursday will take a
great many 1'ittsburgers to the metropolis, in
fact, it i quite the proper thing to be thankful
in ew York, and at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
About SO of the you ger element ot the city,
scions of the Healthy and fashionable, will have
that popular hotel ior headquarters and with
their chapei ones will enjoy the contest and
everything eUe enjoyable to be found. Thirty
thousand tickets have been already sold lortbe
came aua interest is running high. Since the
ei ent la-t year, hen Princeton carried off the
honors, several of the best plajers of that team
have been injured more or less severely, among
them young Mr. Ioe, of Baltimore, a direct
descendant of Edgar Allen l'oe, by the way,
and it is thought as a consequence that Yale
will be victorious this season. The young peo
ple are decidedly partisan and do not hesitate
to declare themselves either ior or against with
considerable emphasis.
One Yale part that will leave Monday night
will be cuapcroned li Mr-. John DiCKSon, Mrs.
Alexander Laughlin aud Mrs. . K. bencll,
and mil wi'isiat of Muses Margaret Singer,
Amy Watson. Anna Schaife. A'nes nirlcnn

as one ot the dainty misses said, has been char
tered for the gay party and fun and frolic will
commence belore the leave the Union depot
and cease only when they return to
it and the breaklng-up comes. In
2fcw York Tally Ho coaches will
carry Pittsburgen. to and from the football
grounds, v. htch arc located m lirooklvn, and to
various other points of interest, if ot a mo
ment will be lost, and scarcely any will be
taken for sleep by the youthful excursionists
unless the chaperoues exercise theirauthonty
Ou 'I oesday evening Mrs. George Di north and
Mrs. Reuben Miller will start lor tuo scene of
merriment, and at the Fifth Avenue will meet
s,eveial young people from the various Eastern
colleges, among them Miss Alice Dilnorth
whom they will chaperono. Mrs. C I Magee
is already in Sew York, and will have a cay
little party with her on tne day of thanks.
Coal Smoke and Pretty Faces.
"Pittsburg is becoming dreadfully smoky.
Isn't it too bad?" said a fascinating little so
ciety woman the other evening as she curled
herself up in a great big upholstered chair be
fore the grate fire. She was gowned in a lovely
creation of pure whito silk and delicate blue
brocade, a sort of a tea gown, and with her
lovely hair braided in two braids and dressed in
the manner that "Amorita," in the Pauline
Hall Opera Company, introduced iu the city
she was such a personification of daintiness
that even a conversation regarding smoke and
soot seemed treason. But there was truth in her
remark, and when she continued by saying,
"At the Woods-Walton wedding the other
night I noticed several who came in with little
dark rings around the nose," it had to be
admitted tnat such was a fact, and that various
and perfunctory dabs of the kerchief wero
required nowadays to prevent an effect of
lights and shadows on the face.
A conversation overheard on Fifth avenue
the other day between a petite young lady and
her sturdy escort, illustrates this point. "Is
my face all black?" inquired the maiden as
he caught the intense gaze of the gentleman
fastened upon her countenance
"So. not all black." was 1ms too truthful re
ply, which had the effect of making it all black,
and very black, too. liut when he concluded
with "there's just a bit of soot on your fore
head; allow me to wipe it off for you," at the
same time whipping out a lovely cambric hand
kerchief, fragrant with crab apple blossom, be
was forgiven, and the blackness disappeared
simultaneously with the soot spots from the
countenance of the fair charmer.
loiter on I heard this same little mortal,
wiioe feaib were evidently aroused on the sub
ject of smokmess and whose hopes were based
upon the Hj-sibility of the price of coal going
up sumcien ly 10 compel, or at least encourage,
the manufacture of artificial gas, say to a gen
tleman commonly supposed to know all things:
"Oh. Mr; Dean, will coal go upT"
The reply was: "Under the proper condi
tions and environments, which, of course, in
clude oxygen. It being always predicated that
coal is combustible, and the coal being prop
erly placed with facilities for draft and so
forth, then the said coal, being ignited, will
go up in smoke."
A Pittsburger as an Attraction.
The performances at the Opera House dur
ing the past week have been imbued with a
peculiar Interest to a great many Pittsburgcrs.
especially the younger portion, for in tho
Warde-Bowers company appeared Mr. William
Stuart, a former resident of this city in fact, a
PittsLurg boy. One of the auxiliaries, as Mr.
Ward insists upon them being called, remarked
Friday evening: "The man who taught Stuart
how to act is out in front," and the j oung actor
caught a glimpse of Pror. Byron W. King, who,
with Mrs. King, was occupying a prominent
position in the parquet and watching with con
siderable interest the progress of the play and
tho performance of Sir. Stuart, their former
pupil, whose success and advancement in his
chosen profession are matters of great interest,
not alone to them, but to a long li-t of friends.
Miss Catherine Cogswell, of this company, is
also a person of considerable interest. Besides
being a remarkably pretty girl, with awiully
fetching eves, she is omta a literary worker.
and writes any number of serial stories for
Eastern magazines. In "Henry VIII." she ap
pears as Annie Eoleyn, and wears some ravish
ingly pretty toilets, in which she resembles
closely the fashionable bridemaid of the pres
ent time. Indeed, so largely are the historical
costnmes of the ancient times copied now by
the votaries of fashion, that when seen on the
stage they are regarded with indifference as far
as the style is concerned, and admiration is
only excited by the richness and beauty of
colors and materials used in their creation.
Mrs. Boners' costnmes, of course, were ele
gant and very becoming to the lady, whose re
markable beauty and voice defy tne" rapidly ad
vancing years, and who looks not a day over 15,
though she pleads guilty to 63, I think. Mr.
Warde has a very interesting personality, and
is regarded with deep respect and admiration
by the members of the company, though he is
rather severe. He is possessed of considerable
tact, and exercised it vesterdavafternoon when
he left the hotel for the matinee at the same
time pretty little Miss Cogswell did. It is a rigid
rule tbst only Mr-. Bowers andMr. Warde shall
enter the Opera House by the front door, the
remainder of the cast using the Diamond
street entrance. Mr. Warde, of course, did not
wish to make an exception in thli special case,
neither did he wish to appear ungallanusoin
the most graceful manner possible be escorted
the little lady to the rear, and with her entered
the building. As Cardinal WoUey Mr. Warde
made up wonderfully like a well-known church
dignitary of Pittsburg.

Comrade H. H. Bengough finished his
first week as Pension Agent yesterday.
During the week he has had time to become
acquainted with the needs of the service and
now knows just how many places there are
to fill. After January 1 theri will be 17
employes in tbe office. After consultation
with the varied interests to bs served the
Pension Agent has decided who are to fill
thee positions. The matter is definitely
settled. Twelve of the present employes are
to be retained. Comrade Bengough has
been, overrun with applications for posi
tions, having had over 400. ISvery one of
these he has answered and filed. The busi
ness of the pension office is increasing, the
past week having doubled that of any pre
vious week.
If any increase in the forco should be
necessary in the future, or should any
vacaucy occur, the large number of applica
tions will have consideration.- Cf course, the
Pension Agent regrets, more than he can tell,
that he has been forced to refuse so many ap
peals, but there are only 17 plj.ccs and the
future occupants of these have been settled
upon.

JlYrs. Q$P rrzzae
An important collection of paintings was seen
last week at the Union League Club. The
smaller of the two galleries was devoted en
tirely to pictures by George II. BnughtoD,
who Is at present vlsiilng this country, and
whose friends among the members of the Union
League, expressing a desire to seo an exhibi
tion of his collected works, were granted that
privilege through the courtesy of tho club.
There were 25 canvases, all representing the
character studies of which Mr. Boughton is so
fond. The larger gallery was devoted to a
mixed collection of paintings, one side
of the room being given up to seven
pictures by Mr. Cha.-e, all charming glimpses
of Central Park greenery. The most pleasing
of these, even though it lacked the snnshine of
the others, was "Threatening Weather In Cen
tral Park." Thero was a quaintness about the
picture that suegtsted an old English poem.
Mr. Chae is particularly happy m his nro
ductlon of nature as it is seen in tbe spring
time and summer, and one does not easdy tire
of ir. Other pictures by American artists wero
represented in a fine landscape by GeTge
Inness: the "Enchanted Monarch." by F. S.
Church: "The Story ot the Old Master." by
J. Canoll Beckwlth; "Sunset on tho Pacific
Coast." by R. A. Blakelnck, and "The Wood
Path," by Henry Oliver Walker.
You can buy bad pictures at high prices, hut
you cannot buy good pictures at low prices.
Good pictures have an intrinsic commercial
value and they seldom depreciate. Pin these
proverbs in your hat. They may serve you a
good turn.
The exhibition at Minneapolis sold 33 paint
ings and about 1,000 works In black and white,
for which $18,000 were obtained, with further
sales not yet announced. Tbo local papers es
timate 465,000 as the number of visitors. At Chi
cago, "'The Sermon," the large picture by Garl
Melchers was sold for $5,000, which makes a
total of $30,375, the largest sum ever received
for sales, except one. when the total was nearly
540.000. The delay in the sale of Mr. Melchers'
picture was owing to tbe fact that be did not at
first intend to sell it, desiring to exhibit it else
where. Thus the reminders of what our Expo
sition management might have done accumu
late. Pittsburg can regain iu reputation in
this direction by the selection next yearof com
petent men to manage tbe art department. At
least in tbe common interest of art we should
never again see a collection like the last one In
Pittsburg.
Verestchagln is much pleased with the re
ception of his pictures in Boston, and has sent
to Mr. Brandus, the manager of tbe exhibition,
a cable dispatch requesting him to give, through
the press, his compliments to the "intelligent
city."
One of the events booked for the present
season, and to which Pittsburg art and society
people look forward with unbounded ploasuro,
is tbe reception in honor of Charles Stanley
Relnhart. Mr. Reinhart, as is well known, re
turned from Pans to this country early in the
summer, and this reception is, in tact, tendered
in honor of his return and in recognition of the
high distinction to which be has attained at
home and abroad. Unsurmountable difficulties
presented themselves at the time of his arrival,
in June, which made it necessary to postpone
tbe reception until this winter. That the
event will prove a notable one is as indisput
able as the fact that Mr. Relnhart deserves tbe
honor in which he is held by his fellow towns
man. Mr. E. A Poole, of "Washington. Pa., has
some thought of returning to establish a studio
in Pittsburg. Mr. Poole will place on exhibi
tion this week a new picture.
Mr.D. B. Walkley exhibits this week the
first canvas representing in part his summer's
work in Ohio. The scene depicted is the in
tenor of a quaint old farm boase living room,
in which is seen an old-fashioned open fire
place. In front of the fireplace are seated a
mother and children, one of which is at play
upon the floor. Thesublectis a very familiar
one, and is treated with much knowledge and
skill. It is probably the best Interior thus far
exhibited by Mr. Walkley. In color it is har
monious and refined, and withal painted upon
a sufficiently high key to keep it from appear
ing dark, as do many interiors. Altogether,
this little work is a remarkably good one and
should find a ready purchaser.
Mr. Henry Bacon, an American artist who re
sides in Paris, has opened an exhibition at
Chase's gallery, Boston, comprising 31 oil
paintings.

One of Mr. DeWoolf Scanlan's pictures, re
cently exhibited at tbe Exposition, was seen at
Gillespie's during tbe week. Mr. Scanlan has
been studying art in Paris during the past few
years and is an earnest and conscientious stu
dent. Ic will be remembered that even before
he left Pittsburg one of his landscapes was ac
cepted and exhibited in an important collection
of paintings at Chicago. The years since then
have been years cf hard and thorough study
for Mr. Scanlan and it goes without saying that
he has made much improvement.
To-morrow, November 24, tbe autnmn exhi

A picture which is attracting considerable
attention in New York is a new work by Cazln,
which reveals that painter in a new role. "Tbe
Expulsion From Eden" is the first Cazin
brought to this country in which the humau
figure is given prominence. The wholo land
scape is spoken of as full of sentiment, as are
all Cazin s landscapes, and the figures are
nude.

Collections of good paintings are always wel
comed in Pittsburg. The more good works it
has the better it Is for the city. A bad collection
is an insult to common intelligence. The
dealer who brings a collection of inferior pict
ures should be quietly but firmly discouraged.

The Eighteenth Regiment non-commissioned
officers' school met last night in the head
quarters for the first time. Lieutenants Doak
and Lowry. the instructors were present and
gave the members nresent an interesting start.
A large attendance is expected at the next
meeting.
The opening night for tho fair, to be given
by Battery B, bas been decided on as December
8. On that evening the choir of the Fifth
Avenue M. E. Church, with a chorus of 70
voices, will furnish the music A tableau, in
which 42 ladle will be dressed to represent the
States of the Union, will be a feature of tbe
entertainment. Mayor Gourley bas been asked
to make the opening address.
AN effort was made last week to match Ser
geant Temnleton. of Company A Fourteenth
Regiment, "and Corporal Ross, of Company G, .
Eighteenth, for a rifle contest for a purse of
$50. Sergeant Templeton won the gold but
tons offered by Captain Schmidt, beating Ross
by a score of 82 points to 81. Both men are
good shots, but owing to the lateness of tbe
season the men will scarcely meet.
The parade of tbe Eighteenth Regiment
next Thursday afternoon will be tbe principal
event in military circles tbi week. It is ex
pected a pretty full turnout will be made, and
while it was first thought of getting the Grand
Army Band to furnish tbe music, the officers
decided that as tbe regiment bad tbe best
drum corps in the guard, it would be a good
chance to give tbem a little practice.
All the commissioned officers in the Na
tional Guard received circulars last week ask
ing their aonroral to tbeappointm ent of Colonel
Frank Magee. of tbe Eighth Regiment,
as Adjutant General. Few of the officers from
this end of tho State responded favorably to the
application as most of them preferred the ap
pointment would come to tbe Second Brigade.
Colonel Magee has an excellent record both
in the National Guard and during the late war.
Captain Chambers McKibbin, of the C.
S. Army, a relative of Colonel Chambers Mc
Kibbin, of this city, passed through Pittsburg
Friday night to join his regiment in the West.
He reports the fact that nearly all officers who
are on details or leaves in the East are being
ordered to their commands in anticipation of
the expected Indian outbreak. The War De
partment at Washington considers the trouble
much more serious than is generally known by
the public
Lieutenant Brown, of the Fourteenth
Regiment, has not yet received all tbe reports
from the companies as to the number of men
qualified dunug the season just closed. It is
expected quite an increase will be shown, how
ever. In the Eighteenth Regiment the num
ber per company that have qualified are as fol
lows. Company A, SO: Company B. 20; Com
pany C, 36: Company D, 23: Company E. 19;
Company F.47; Company G, 40; Company H. 31;
Company 1, 60; headquarters. 8; grand total, 315.
Tbe increase over the number aualifled last
year is 82.
The announcement can be made with posi
tive certainty that Captain William McClel
land, of this city, has been tendered tbe ap
pointment of Adjutant General by Mr. Paul
son. Captain McClelland has also signified bis
acceptance of the same. Tbe appointment
from outside the guard could not have
been better had Mr. Pattison searched
the State over. The Captain bad an elegant
record during the late war, having commanded
Battery B, ot the Pennsylvania Reserves,
one of tbe most brilliant organizations the
State sent out. He bas also been prominently
identified with local and national interests for
many vears. being a member of tbe World's
Fair Commission from this State. Governor
Pattison is to be congratulated on bis happy
selection.
AN association known as tbe Duquesne
Athletic Club was organized among the officers
of the Eighteenth Regiment last week, with
Lieutenant W. H. Wassell as President, Cap
tain J P. Penny as Vice President, Lieutenant
James Bigger as Secretary, and Lieutenant W.
H. Doak as Treasurer. The object of the club
is to tit up tho large room which is now vacant
in tho armory and use it for a gymnasium. It
will be open to all members of tne regiment on
payment of a small entrance fee, which will be
used to keep the room in condition. It is the
experience with tho local military organiza
tions that unless occasion aside from the regu
lar drills is looked forward to the attendance
of the men fills off very considerably during
tho winter months. It is expected the gym
nasium will prove attractive enough to draw
these delinquents to the armory, and also afford
a means of improving the general appearance
of the men.
