DOMAIN OF PLEASUKE.
Eli Perkins Entertains a Small Audi
ence at Carnegie Hal!,
WITH WIT, WISDOM AND PATHOS.
Two Good Free Concerts to be Given at the
Same Place To-Day.
OBSERVANCES OF SOCIETY. AMENITIES
"Wit and humor, satire and pathos, were
all used and diagnosed by Eli Perkins in
his lecture at Carnegie Hall last evening.
The famous speaker and "exaggerator,"
as he calls himself, was introduced by S. TJ.
Trent. Esq., of Ben Franklin Council, Jr.
O. U. A. M.. the lecture being given under
the auspices of three councils, the ltcliable
Xo. 90, the. Colonel J. B. Clark Xo. 2S6,
and ibe Peerless, Jr. O. TJ. A. 3d. The
audience, though small, represented the sale
of enough tickets to pay all expenses and
have a handsome balance beside to be ap
plied to the debt of 52,000 yet remaining on
the "Washington monument, in Allegheny
Park, to be dedicated February 22 next.
The subject of Mr. Perkins lecture was
''American Humor,' and he commenced by
defininc laushter. The cause of laughter,
or the definition as given by various authori
ties, "a short-lived surprise," was ridiculed
out of court by the speaker, as he said the
victims of the dreadful Ashtabula disaster
must have very much inclined to laugh,
according to that, and he applied various
other illustrations. Laughter, Mr. Perkins
said, is the result of some abstract deformity
of music, gesture, logic, theory or rhetoric,
and then he proceeded 10 empha
size and illustrate the fact by the
use of stories whose very age had
deformed them. Humor. Mr. Perkins de
fined as being trne to life, always; wit an
exaggeration, always; and the stories util
ized iu this part of the lecture were astound
ing, especially those with which he proved
the latter assertion, and which doubtless
have assisted in civing Ell Perkins the
name of being a colossal prevaricator.
The very essence ol wit, he said, was the
brightest point of exaggeration, and lawyers
and editors were the wittiest of men. A
caricaturist was a witty man, because he al
ways enlarged upon the original Xast was
kinc of caricaturists, and his sketches of
Carl Schurz, in Harper's Weekly, during
the Presidental election precedine the last,
were still fresh iu the minds of many ot the
audience, but in the last campaign he did
net caricature Carl Schurz, because they
were brother mugwumps, and one mug
wump wouldn't exaggerate another he
couldn't
"While Mr. Perkins disclaimed any par
ticular interest iu temperauce, he concluded
his lecture with a most powerful temperance
argument. Having just returned from Kan
sas, he gave the true state of affairs there,
which was a verv flattering advertisement
for Kansas, and a plea tor prohibition.
Treating the subject seriously, he seemed to
regret that fact, and immediately treated it
facetiously, but none the less powerfully.

A PLEASANT REUNION
Planned by the Members of the Iron City
Fibbing Club.
The reunion ot the Iron City Fishing
Club will beheld on the evening of Jan
uary 15 at the Pittsburg Femaie'College.
A number of the members who spent such
a delightful month iu Canada last summer
very wisely made immortal some of the
pretty scenes and views that constantly de
lighted the eye by the use of kodaks, and
on this occasion ot the reunion the memories
of pleasant events, shady nooks, rjretty
lakes and enormous fih will be revived br
the presentation of such in lantern slides
form taken lrom photographs.
Some of the gentlemen interested in that
portion of the event are Messrs. L?e S.
Smith, Dr. Simpson and Rev. Charles W.
Smith. A delicious supper will be served,
and the evening, as planned, will be a most
enjoyable one. ,
A HUE "WORK OF ART.
PitUburgers Granted a Look at a Portrait
of Veronese by Himself.
Mr. Hermann Linde has just received an
old portrait, which is of the highest interest
to the student of art. It is likeness of Paolo
"Veronese, painted by himself, at the age of
4. The softness and transparency of the
handling mars in no way the nobility and
strength of character depicted in the feat
ures. "While there are a number of the artist's
portraits dating to a prior time in existence,
as, for example, the three in the "Feast at
Cana," this is the only one which portrays
him at an advanced age, being painted four
years beforehis death. An additional point
of interest is in the circumstances that in
handling, size and execution it forms a
"pendaut" to the portrait of Tintoretto in
theLouvrc Gallery iu Paris.
WORE OF SWEET CHARTTT.
A Very Snccessf nl Bazaar and Supper Given
Last Evening.
A very pretty and successful bazaar and
supper was given last evening by the Heart

ciety isvery extensive, and the proceeds of
the Vffair will be devoted to a continuance
of it.
Among the ladies in charge of the affair
were Mrs. , P. Cowan, Mrs. Benjamin
"Thaw, Miss Julia Nelson, Miss Maggie
f Nelson, Mrs. J. C. "Williams, Miss Mary
Ewicg, Mrs. Frank Moore, Mrs. M. L.
