THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1S90.
mtP
f-
What a gay week we have had to be sure,
with, toward the latter part of it, a crisp,
bracing atmosphere that Dot alone gave zest
to social enjoyments, but stimulated trade
and had an exceedingly pleasant effect upon
merchants ."jnd business men in general, in
fact put everyone into a happy, energetic
frame cf mind, except, perhaps the poor
unfortunate f whom the wintry weather
means the expenditure of funds not at com
mand, if comfort would be secured. To this
class the holidays are the :addest of the
year, because the contrast thrtn is so much
greater between wealth and poverty than at
any other period. Ahl many there are in
this flourishing, prosperous city whose
hearts as the holidays approach, are filled
with bitter and rebellious thoughts accen
tuated by hurried glances thrown into the
dazzling windows of the jewelers stores or
given the displays, more sucgestive of
warmth aud cc-nifort, made by the general
stores.
But many of them, in spite of the cheer
less prospect, will spend a merry Christmas
and a happier Ue w Year than is anticipated
for numberless good, charitable women are
busily engaged, in connection with home
and private duties, in purchasing suitable
gifts and preparine surprises that will send
joyful thanklulness into numerous hearts
almost benumbed by sorrow, sadness and
misfortune. "What a blessing it is to be
able to do and to give! And if mothers
whose hearts are bleeding this year over tne
loss of some lovely little mortal, for whom
last Christmastime they spent hours in
arranging with loving, tender hands the
presents which elicited snch bright smiles
and so much childish pleasure, would, in
stead of building walls ot conventional re
serve around their sorrow, open up their
hearts and do the same this year for some
little miserable mite whose lire is devoid of
pleasure, their own suffering will be allevi
ated accordingly as joy is given,
w
What the Big Safes Could Tell.
Jewelers' safes, if they could but betray
their treasures and did cot partake of their
proprietors' reticence regarding the mys
terious little boxes neatly wrapped in tissue
paper and labeled that are within their
depths at the present time, would furnish
column after column of interesting reading
matter, and lay open to the public attach
ment after attachment of the tender order.
Diamond rings, according to reliable au
thority, will be so common after the holidays,
judging from the large number already pur
chased, that they who are not recipients ot
the sparkliuz gems can fold their hands,
complacently smile and disclaim any ad
miration or desire for so common a stone.
That is if they want to affect what tbey do
not feel, for who is there to whose sense of
the beutiiul a diamond does not appeal?
Rubies and emeralds are sharing the popu
lar lavor with diamon Is this season and are
associated very closely with them either
separately or conjunctively in rings,brooches
and bracelets. Vtry few earrings ar being
Bold, as it is alnioot considered a misfortune to
have ones ears pierced nowadays, and when
rings or drops are worn in the ears tbey are of
the most modest and dainty fashion, princi
pally fie screw design. Tec engagement, or
secret locket cf last year has extended its field
of usefulness this season, and will be worn br
gentlemen to a great extent. It looks as if
women couidn't keep evi-n a secret locket from
toe uen. Anything and everything in the shape
of a heart in the jewelry line if, as Rubson
Bays, "eminently proper." Bracelets are not as
fashionable as they mighc be, though tbey are
a mighty convenient setting for a line of spark
ling stones. Link enff bnttons are the things
for gentlemen, bnt no cuff buttons for ladies.
Cause why: Gentlemen wearenffi and ladies
do not as a rnle jus: now. Bat earrings, lock
ets, cuff buttons, watches, bracelets and rings
are ail stowed away in the safes awaiting
Christmas eve.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley.
We are all on the qui vive to see Mr. Stanley,
and we are more than on tbequi vive toseoMrs.
Stanley. Hut it is a complimentary curiosity.
Of course, Mr. Stanley didn't get married for
an advertisement, but it has been a very ex
cellent one for him just the same.
When they first cams over it looked as if
the dreadful troubles aud the horrible
log book were going to completely over
shadow Airs. Stanlev, but recently she has re
ceived her share of public attention, and there
has been so much said of her and written about
her that curiosity is pardonable. A few ladies
will have the opportunity of meeting the
charming little English lady, personally, at tho
lunch to be given her by Airs. George Shiras at
the Ducjuesne Clubhouse to-morrow tho rest
will have to be content with viewing her in Old
City Hall. Too bad the contemplated big,
brilliant reception could not have materialized,
for then ever so many could Lave had tho
pleasure of greeting Airs. Stanley and the great
explorer.
Talking about receptions at the one given on
Friday by Airs. W. Deuces rt'ood for her New
York guests there wasn't a single bit of candy or
confections of any kind for Keymer had the
order, and, of course, was unable to fill it,
while it was too late to place it elsewhere.
Ever 'o many young men will be -cash in" on
the Reymer lire unless their sweethearts ex
press themselves as willing to imbibe delicacies
and sweets of less renown orinsist upon having
them imported from other cities. Tne abence
of sweets from the Wood reception, though,
bad rather an enlivening than a serious effect
upon the company, and the affair was one or the
most enjoyable ot the week. Others given by
Airs. James Laughlin, Jr., Airs. J. S. Hays and
Mr. and Airs. J. T. Kevin, of Sen ickley, were
equally delightful, and made of the week a
memorable one. Dancing, by the way, was ln-
uuii;eu in ai. several 01 mese entertainments,
and what with tho Christmas Eve subscription
dance, the two Assembly balls announced, the
coming-out-ball of Miss Stella Hays at the Du-que-ne
Clubhouse, and the same for the Misses
Chalfant on New Year's Eve at the Duquesne
Club, with the interest manifested in each and
all, it would seem that the terpsichorean art
had profited by the advice given It last season
and taken beef, iron and wine.
m
The Wedding at Cleveland.
The Carnegie-Ely wedding mentioned last
week came off in Cleveland at the appointed
time, and was a very brilliant affair. The Car
negie family and a party of Pittsburg friends
left for that city early in the week, and most of
tbem were domiciled at the Stillman House
until Thursday, the day of the wedding.
Trinity Church was the scene of the ceremony,
wbicb was followed by an elaborate reception
at the Pride's home.
In the bridal party appeared several charm
ing Pituburg girls as brldemalds, and a num
ber of Pititburgers as ushers, while through
the andience were scattered many familiar
laces. Mr. and Airs. Carnegie will reside In
this city when the wedding travels are over.

versary of the organization ot tbe battalion.
With tbe new gearing apparatus now in use
with latest improved Gatling guns, an expert

slaughter the next war will be if there ever is
oneT
It is rumored that a certain First Lieutenant
ottbe Eighteenth Regiment will shortly tender
his resignation to Colonel Smith by request.
Tbe charges are that he has proved himself
disagreeable to bis company and for some time
has shirked all duty possible.
The Board of Affairs appointed by tbe Sec
retary of War to examine magazine guns and
recommend one for adoption in the regular
service, will meet in New York City to-mor
row. The day of tbe large bore, heavy kicking
Springfield rifle is past in this country, as tbe
recommendation of tho officers will be fora gun

A regimental court martial has been or
dered to convene at the headquarters of the
Eighteenth Regiment Monday, December 22.
at J A. IT. Major J. C. Kay bas been appointed
officer of the court, and Lieutenant H. F.
Lowry has been detailed as judge advocate.
The court will try several enlisted men from
Company H. who have been refusing to obey
tbe orders of Captain Simmons.
A well-attended meeting of the Board ot
Control of the Eighteenth Regiment was held
last night in the Diamond street armory. A
number of matters of Importance to tbe organ
ization were transacted, among others being
arrangements for tbe sending of tbe balance of
the regiment's donations to tbe Hanranf t mon
ument fund. The total amount of the Eight
eenth's donation is 100. Tbe Fourteenth
Regiment gave the pay of tbe men for the in
spection day last year toward the fund.
Colonel James B. Stbeeteb, of the Tenth
Regiment, is in Philadelphia looking after the
appointment of the Adjutant General. From
good authority comes the report that, besides
the selection of Captain McClelland for Adjnt
tant General, Pittsburg ha3 been favored with
two .more appointments on the Governor's
staff, these latter being Colonel Chambers Mc
Kiubin and Captain Scott Ward. Both tbese
gentlemen were formerly connected with the
Eighteenth Regiment, and are popular in and
out of the Guard. Colonel McKlbbin has been
named for Inspector General, but Air. Ward'
position is not stated.
At the regular monthly meeting of tbe Board
of Control of tbe Fourteenth Regiment last
Monday night, Colonel Perchment issued the"
State warrants fcr company allowances to tbe
Captains. The subject of tbe prospective trip
of the militia to Harrisburg next month to at
tend the inauguration of Governor-elect Fatti
son was pretty thoroughly talked of, aud the
general desire of the officers present was to
have the regiment go. In tbe Eighteenth Regi
ment the general desire of tbe officers is to stay
at home, as the trip is considered a most foolish
one. Should tbe guard as a body attend the
inauguration, however, the Eighteenth can be
counted od to be in line.
Is tbe National Guard of New York State,
4,584 men qualified as marksmen during the
past year, as against 6,219 tbe year before. Of
the number 254 are sharpshooters. Six hundred
yard practice Is now required for qualification'
in New York, and it is very probable it will
also be made areqnlrement in this State before
long, as in all tbe matches at Alt. Gretna, firing
at that distance is required. It was pretty gen
erally understood that Colonel Watres, when
General Inspector of Rifle Practice,bad a num
ber of new ideas in connection with rifle prac
tice, among them being a requirement for
practice at skirmishing tiring at unknown dis
tances. It is probab'e, however, that Colonel
Watres as Lieutenant Governor will still keep
himself posted on tbe shooting of the Guard,
and make suggestions to his successor.
Under tbe administration of Governor Pat
tison renewed efforts will be made from a num
ber of towns which desire to be represented In
the guard by military. companies. In the Sec
ond Brigade Altoona is an active candidate for
a company in tho Fifth Regiment, and a list of
66 names will be presented to tbe new Governor
for approval. In this immediate vicinity prob
ably the work of the organizers of a company
at Homestead will be most likely to receive
recognition. Several months ago a strongly
circulated petition was placed In the Adjutant
General's uffice for a company from Home
stead to be added to tbe Eighteenth Regiment,
but no attention was paid to the matter by the
people at Harrisburg, as It was tbe tag end of
Governor Beaver's administration, and it was
not considered policy to make any new moves.

month during the winter wonld be very accept
able to the comrades, and a benefit to the Post.

AIr. George Hetzel is engaged on a large
painting, 30xE0. which is intended for tbe Phila
delphia Academy exhibition. Tho picture
promises to De one of Air. Hetzel's strongest
works, important alike in size and subject. It
is an open bit ot landscape witb a pool of water
in tbe immediate foregrouod,and the prevailing
iuuc m nuu anu narmonions. :nr. ueizei win
send otber canvases to tbo Academy exhibi
tion, but it is probable that this one will be his
chief work.
The meeting of tho Art Society last Thnrs-
day evening at tbe Academy of Art and Science
building was one of tbe most enjoyable and at
the same time most important meetings held
by this organization. The plans and purposes
of the directors of the society, suggested
at the close of the past season, have steadily
matured, and an important outcome of tbe de
liberations along tbe line pr entendlng the
sphere of this time-honored organization was
the action of the members at this meeting. In
approving the purpose to secure a charter. The
purpose of the society as set forth in tbe arti
cle of incorporation is tbe promotton of music,
painting and other fine arts, "and of acquiring
and maintaining collections of books and
other objects appertaining thereto," and "said
corporation is to exist perpetually.',' It is this
provision which makes tbe present action im
portant. Never before have we had In Pitts
burg a chartered organization, competent by
virtue of its charter to be 'tho custodian of
valuable art works and books bearing npon tbe
subjects of art and music The society will,
upon the granting of this charter by the Court
of Common Pleas, be conslitnted such a cus
todian in the highest possible sense. There
fore, tbe citizen of Pittsburg who desires to
present for pnblic use a work of art or work
upon art or music can do so with the feeling
that the Art Society is a proper custodian and
one whose perpetual existence is provided for
by the important action of this meeting, and
many should avail themselves of the oppor
tunity thus offered. The present Board of Di
rectors Is composed of George A. Alacbetb,
Joseob Albree, Charles W. Scovel, Ross W.
Drumm, C. C. Mellor, W. N. Frew, John W.
Beatty, A. 8. Wall. W. B. Edwards and Joseph
R. Woodwell, and these members, supplemented
by tbe members present at the meeting Thurs
day evening, make application on behalf of the
society for the charter.
Andrea Shorioi is painting tbe library of
an East End residence in the style ot the
Italian renaissance.
D. B. Walklet exhibits this week a picture
of more than ordinary importance and worth,
representing cattle with landscape. Tbe cattle
are seen coming toward the foreground, down
a gentle declivity, and cutting sharply against
the sky In the distance is a country fence. In
the immediate foreground is a pool of water
and clay bank. Tbe picture is very realistic in
effect and brilliant in qualities of Tight, and al
together is one of the strongest works Mr.
Walkley bas exhibited as a result of his sum
mer outing.
s
A picture of the German school by Gustav
Ingler, of Alunicb, entitled "Playing Alotber,"
was seen at Boyd's during the week. In treat
ment it is much like tbe work of Prof. Bonn,
The drawing is academic but excellent, and the
effect pleasing and realistic As the title Indi
cates, children are playing, and tbe picture is
finished throughout with conscientious care
and much ability.
m
A vert harmonious and rich little picture,
by A. Bryan Wall, is on exhibition in Gilles
pie's window, tbe first one shown since this
artist's return to the city. It is an autumn
landscape with figure and cows, and the figure
especially is strong in the sense of movement
and life.
Mb. Waltz exhibits a large picture, por
traits of children.
MR.E.A. Poole exhlnits a landscape at
Boyd's.
Mr. H. 8. Stevenson and Mr. Walkley are
both engaged on portrait work.
There seems to be a reasonable probability
that tbe famous Verestcbagin collection of
paiutlngs will come to Pittsoarg this season
and be exhibited In tbe Carnegie gallery, In
Allegheny. The Library Committee, at a meet
ing held Wednesday evening, granted the use
of tbe library, aud so much Interest bas been
manifested in tbo coming of tbese pictures that
it is almost certain tbe art lovers of Allegheny
and Pittsburg will enjoy tbe coveted treat.
O-ily three cities outside of New York have
thus far succeeded in securing the exhibition
Philadelphia. Chicago and Boston, and if tbese
works are exhibited here it will place our sister
cities high np on the list of art-loving com
munities. Surely our cities are making great
strides in tbe direction of aesthetic culture
wben theyare found reaching out after one of
the most famous collections in the world.
A sale of the collection of paintings owned
by Dr. Otis took place at the Fifth Avenue
Galleries, New York, last week.
ii
The place-made vacant by the removal of
tbe "Augelus" from Bostou bas been filled by
a painting by Eugene Delacroix, entitled "The
Lion Hunt," It is one of Delacroix's most
notable works, as well as one or his latest. It
was painted in 1861, two years before tbe artist's
death. Tbough not to be compared with tho
phenomenal cost of "Tbe Angelas," it still Is a
very high-priced picture, aud tbe sum paid tor
it by tbe present owner is said to be Joo.OCO.
The interest in the Verestcbagen collection
at Boston continues unabated. It was expected
to conclude the exhibition with the removal of
"The Angel us," but so great bas been the at
tendance during the past week tbat tbe closing
of the gallery was postponed indefinitely.
THE New York Times says: "The sales at
the autumn exhibition of the National Acad
emy have been surprisingly good. Alore pict
ures have been sold during tbe first ten days
than during tbe ten opening days at tbe spring
exhibition this year. Does this mean that ar
tists are willing to accept more modest nrices,
or that people who are atraid to invest In stocks
have discovered that pictures are notalwajB
the worst things in which idle money can be
placed:"
r
The New York Post, speaking of Mr. Rine
hart's exhibition now open in New York, says
of this former Pittsburger: "Mr. Rlnebart
possesses a facility in pen and Ink drawing tbat
is so remarkable tbat it must be mentioned first
in speaking of the qualities that distinguish his
work. It is found in all his drawings without
exception, for there is not one, to be seen tbat
looks labored or 'worked over.' There is more
sureness and vigor in some ot tbem than in
others, but there Is clumsiness in none His
otber most marked quality and the one that
makes his work ot most value is the ability to
seize and represent character. Wben be has
settled upon what he wants to do, we should say
looking at tbese clever illustrations. Air. Rlne
bart has but little difficulty in doing it to bis
satisfaction. It may be very much harder than
it looks to be to do it, bnt it looks as if It were
done easily, and there can be no donbt of tbe
tbe artist's skill. This interesting exhibition re
mains open until December 18."
Some bard things were said by Mr. Brett, A
R. A., in his Inaugural speech at the Art Con
gress In England tbe other day apropos of Mil
let's "Angelus." Millet's reputation and fame,
declared Mr. Brett, will evaporate In about ten
years, and will be entirely forgotten half a cen
tury hence It is only a dealer's name, and tbe
late history ot "The Angelus" Is an example of
tbe mercantile use ot pictures. Its value, he
added, bas been simply Inflated by a middle
man, or by a syndicate of middlemen.
At Philadelphia tho exhibition now open Is
one of Japanese objects of art collected by Dr.
Edward H. Williams in Japan. Tbey are shown
at tbe Academy ot the Fine Arts.
A NEW club, for artists only, is projected In
London. It is to do at Chelsea, near Carlyle's
old residence, and will have exhibition rooms
nearby. Tbe committee to arrange the prem
ises consists of Whistler, Jacomb Hood, Fred
Brown, Christie and Lee.
The otber day George Ii. Bougbton, who is
now on a visit to this country, dropped In at the
Avery gallery. A little old-fashioned looking
picture, representing some boys snow-balling,
stood on a cbalr. "Good beavenl" cried the
distinguished Anglo-Atnerioau A. R. A., "did I
ever paint tnatt" He did. It was one of the'
pictures executed by him before be went away
from Albany to find fame and fortune in Eng
land, and the scene was laid la one ot tho old J
