cale at Old City flail.

A Unique Idea for the Reception of a Bride
and Groom.
WEDDINGS AND OTHEE SOCIAL GOSSIP
The Randall Club maintained its former
excellent reputation last night of never do
ing things by halves, in the character ol the
musicale and dance given at Old City Hall.
The members have been industriously en
gaged for weeks in the arrangements, and
the results of their efforts iairly surpassed
the highest expectations of all interested.
The guests of the evening began
to arrive early, and by the time
the Gernert-'Weiss Orchestra struck un the
overture, a selection composed of national
sirs, the building was well filled with a
company fair to look upon, ranging from
hrndsome young ladies and gallant young
men to the more stately mothers and digni
fied fatlier?, who feel a sense of pride in the
leading Democratic organization of the city
aud county.
Many gentlemen were present whose
names are well known in the social and
business circles of Pittsburg, to say nothing
of the grat political swim which has held
out its inducements since the establishment
of the government.
The musical part of the ,programme was
one of the delightful features of the even
ing. The selections were made with great
care and for over an hour were listened to
with genuine pleasure. The orchestra
rendered airs from Lucrecia Borgia and se
lections from Boccaccio and Offenbach's
operas, iliss Grace Miller, and Messrs.
Meldon and "Williams rendered a vocal
trio, "Our Kind and Gracious Duchess,"
by Donizetti, which won for them liberal
and genuine applause. Miss Miller, whose
splendid abilities are so well known in
musical circles, yielded to the general de
mand, and favored the large audience with
that ever beautiful old song, "Annie
Laurie."
At the conclusion of the musicale, a grand
promenade was indulged in during which
the large company showed to excellent
advantage.. Then dancing was begun, at
which period the older guests of the evening
took their departures, and the younger
members held full sway for several hours.
The verdict of all present was that the affair
eclipsed anything of the kind ever attempted
by the club. The financial results were ex
tremely gratifying, it Deing estimated that the
revenues derived would amount to about
2,000.
A QUIET CEBEMONY.

son, at her home, corner of Grant and Ucrth
avenue, Allegheny, in honor of Mr. and

The affair will inclnde a large number of
guests, as Mrs. Carroll, who was Miss Sarah
Stevenson, the celebrated elocutionist, as
well as her sister, Miss Bessie, have hosts of
friends, and their exceeding popularity has
resulted in very few regrets being sent in an
swer to Invitations Issued.
The uniqueness of tbe party is In the fact
that each lady guest will represent some special
book, whose title will be suggested by her cos
tume. And the young gentlemen instead of
being assigned ladies to whom they are to pay
devoted attention during the evening will re
ceive a card with the name of a literary volume
upon it, and fronCtbe library collection of
young ladies will exercise their powers of dis
cernment and secure their partners.
'Coming Through tbe Rye" will be one of
tho books represented, and in an exquisite
gown of black net, with tbe skirt and bodice
outlined with clusters of tho natural rye

ing a difficult feat one of the prettiest girls of
Allegheny will appear. "The Bine Grass Conn
try" will be represented by a bewitching girl in
a gown pf delicate blue crepo with trimmings
ot grass and flowers, and the animate realiza
tion ot the pretty volumo will be as enchanting
as the original. In a wedding toilet of pure
white a charming maiden will suggest the suc
cess or "A Young Girl's Wooing." All the
popular works of modern fiction will minzle
and intermingle, as it were. In the parlors of the
Stevenson residence, but it will not be a feast
of reason entirely, as an elaborate supper will
conclude the literary reunion.'.

A PE0P0SED CHAHGE .
In the Congregational Church Being Agi
tated in Northern Ohio.
r5PECIAI.TEI.EGll.Ut TO THE DISPATCH.
Cleveland, Dec. 10. The members of
the Congregatiaual Church in Northern
Ohio are deeply interested in discussing a
proposed change in the form of church
government. The theme has been a gen
eral sul'ject of discussion for several years,
but a great impetus was given to it at
the last meeting of the Congrega
tional Club of this city, the as
sociation about which Congregationalism
in the Western Reserve clusters, when the
Rev. George R. Leavitt, D. D., of the
Plymouth Church, of this city, and Prof.
Wright, of Obetlin College, both strongly
urged the abrogation of the present parish
system. As they are two ot tbe leading men
of the denomination in Ohio their advocacy
of the changehas had a wide influence.
4. committee consisting of Dr. Leavitt, Jus
tin Snow and A. C.Caskey was appointed to
inquire fully what action was necessary and
best in the way of securing such a modifica
tion or tbe State law as would facilitate the
change irom the present dual system to a
single one.

FACTS! TRUTHS!
Common Sense.
All diseases having a common origin,
can only be permanently enred by a specific
remedy which trill remove the cause of the
trouble. If you are suffering with a dis
order originating in impure blood, such as
RHEUMATISM OR LIVER
COMPLAINT,
You will find the usual so-called remedies
of little avail, as they fail to reach the
lountain seat of the trouble; simply re
lieving, not curing.
Dr. Braun's
Rheumatic and Alterative
Bitters
Is a potent blood purifier and liver invig
orator. It is scientifically prepared, and
completely eradicates the cause of disease,
cleansing and purifying the system quickly
and thoroughly.

WORD
We hear a good deal in these days on Africa and African explora
tion. Aa for ourselves, we entered Africa many years ago Africa
figurative, mean. Many years have now passed since we buckled on
the armor and "carried the war into Africa;" that is to say, we invaded
the Africa of corruption and dishonest business dealings, bogus goods
and exorbitant charges. And we have never for a single day inter
mitted the fight The results of our warfare are three-fold. We have
Saved the Citizens of Pittsburg Thousands of Dollars!
We Have Built for Ourselves a Tremendous Business!
And Enjoy the Smile of an Approving Conscience!
We are well aware that this latter acquisition would not count for
much with some clothing merchants in this town,.but it has its value
with us, nevertheless.
For the balance of the week we call your attention especially to
some splendid values wo are offering in
BOYS' AND CHILDREN'S CLOTHING.
Thousands of people buy suits for their children at this time of
the year, even though they be not immediately needed, in order that
they may take the form of a Christmas present. Having this fact in
mind, we have concluded to give you ample chance to get what you
may need in clothing for the little ones between this and Christmas at
greatly reduced prices. We have not only the largest and best selected
stock to be seen in Pittsburg, by a large majority, but our present
prices are such that to better them is simply impossible.
Don't'worry your mind about the "genuine" and "only reliable"
sales announced in the papers by others; come and see our clothing
facts and you'll not think it worth your time running after 25 per cent
reduction sales of the "now you see it and now you don't see it" style.
HOLIDAY
Our store is crowded , with thousands of useful and appropriate
articles for Christmas presents. Goods suitable for your sisters,
cousins and your aunts, or any other earthly relation. A few samples
are in our windows, but an immense selection inside at very moderate
prices.
Remember Our
Powderly's great work, THIRTY "STEAKS OF LABOB, an 800-page,
cloth bound book, free with every purchase of 815 and up in men's
clothing. s
Express Wagon for the Boys !
Not a small toy, but a large and substantial wagon, of which we
have already given out thousands to delighted youngsters. Three days
more in which to get a wagon, boys. One goes free with every pur
chase of 85 and up in boys' and children's clothing.
