"the mrSaSTDSs SOME FINE PIGTU11ES To be Exhibited at Carnegie Library Hall, in a Very Short Time. THE VERESTCHAGIN COLLECTION Being: Brought to Pjttsbnrc by a Somber of Local Art Lovers. KEWS GLEANED IN SOCIETY CIRCLES Through the united efforts of D. T. "Wat son, Herbert Da Puy, A. Herbert Hostetter, Charles Lockhart, Charles Donnelly, A. M. Byers, H. C. Prick, J. B. Scott, W. 2T. Frew, John W. Beatty, and other art lovers, and the city of Allegheny, as represented by the Library Committee, the people of Pittsburg and Allegheny are assured the pleasure of seeing, within a week or ten days, one of the most famous collections of paintings in the world, the works of Vassili Verestchagin, painter, soldier and traveler. The exhibition of this famous collection of paintings in the Carnegie Gallery, in Allegheny, will, without doubt, be tbe greatest artistic event in the history of Pitts burg. Tiut the collection is coming is now beyond doubt, although much uncertainty was felt by those who have been making an effort to induce the American Art Associa tion, of Xew York, to exhibit here beiore offering these pictures at public sale in .March next Pittsburg art lovers are naturally on the tin-toe of expectation. Xcvcr before has so celebrated 3 collection Qf art works been cither promised or furnished connoisseurs of these cities for in spection and study. The pictures come to Pittsburg direct from Boston, where they have been exhibited during the past two months. Iu that city the interest manifested seemed to be unbounded, and for weeks after the time announced to close the exhibition it continued in unabated public favor. INTEKLST XX IT EVERYWHERE. The Verestchagin collection was first ex hibited in the American Art Galleries in ZSew York, and the painter, who is also a great soldier and traveler, was at that time the lioupf Xew York society, receiving at tentions and honors on every hand. Subse quently it was seen in Philadelphia, Chic-go, and, as has been indicated, last in Boston, where the interest mamlested was unprecedented. The collection is composed of three classes of picture;. Many of the most important works represent the most familiar and hintorically interesting places in the Holy Land. Probablf no painter of Verest chagtn's eminence and great power has ever visited the Holy Land, as did he, with the purpose of faithfully portraying the scenes so interesting to all people, and especially to every Christian. The pictures of this class are the result of his own researches in the land of the Bible, and in his selection of subjects he was not only governed by tbe gospels, but also by well-founded tradition preserved among the people of tbe East, and the most ancient works which would throw light upon the subjects he desired to paint. Some ot the Palestine pictures are un finished, owing to the suspicion of th Turks that he was drawing plans of the '"Prom ised Land" with soiu military object in view. This impression would naturallv arise out of the fact that Verestchagin was a celebrated soldier and a member o General SkobelefTs staff in the Kusso-Turkish "War, and in the passage of the Balkans. SOME OF THE PICTURES' TITLES. It would be impossible to enumerate all the Palestine pictures, but the titles of a few will give an idea of the general charac ter of this class of subjects. One of these is "The Tomo of Abraham." Beside Sarah and Abraham himself, Isaac, his wile Be becca, and many other patriarchs are buried here. Hither, too, was brought from Egypt tbe embalmed body of Jacob, and it lo probable that the mummy is still in a state of good preservation. "Others are: "Jacob's Well," "Gilgal," "That Part of Jordon Where Clirut Was Baptized," "Capernaum," "Bethsaida," the home of the apostles Peter, Andrew, Philip, James and John; "Mu Tabo'," "The Mount of Temptatiou by Night;" "A Court of a House in Jerusalem;" "Jesus W.th John the Baptist on the Jor dan, and the Sea at Liberias." One of tbe 3ot impressive pictures is that representing ".Solomon's Wall." This part o' the great wall which surrounds the temple is called "The Wailing Place," because for a long time past Hebrews have been in the habit of coming hither to bewail their past greatness and present depression. Seldom can any thing more touching be seen. Hebrews of both sexes and all ages arrive from all parts of the world to pray and meet with loud cries, and literally to wash with their tears the sacred stones. Another class of pictures is from India, nnd represents different prominent events of Indian history. One of the important ean vaes of this class portrays the English Em bassadors in the presence of the Great Mogul in his celebrated audience hall at Agra. Another represents the triumphant entry of the Prince of Wales into Delhi. WAE AXD KIKDRED TOPICS. Another class of pictures is that of war and execution subjects, and it is said, that these works once seen are never forgotten. Of this class of subjects the artist himself siys: "These subjects I have treated in a tash lon far from sentimental, tor having myself killed ruanv a poor fellow creature, in dif ierent wars, I have not the right to be senti mental. But the sight ot heaps of human beings slaughtered, shot, beheaded, hanged, under my eyes, in ail that region extending from the frontier of China to Bulgaria, haB not failed to impress itselt -. ividly on the imaginative side of my art- Ana although the wars of the present time have changed their former character of God's judg ments upon man, nevertheless, by the enormous energy and excitement they create, by the great mental and ma terial exertion they call lorth, thev are a phenomenon interesting to all students of human civilization. My intention was to examine war in its different aspects and transmit these faithfully. Facts laid upon the canvas without embellishment must speak eloquently for themselves." In addition to the pictures are manv sketches and curiosities collected bv the artist in his various journeys. The collec tion is very large, and will tax every availa ble foot of space placed at its disposal in the Carnegie Library building. Some of the canvases are of enormous size, and an idea of tbe extent of canvas to be displayed upon the walls may be gathered from the fact that four freight cars are required to transport the collection to this city. A CHAEMINQ SCENE, IIajette Hall Filled by a Merry Party or rattle roiks. A charming scene was presented in La layette Hall last evening by the diminutive belles and beaux of Miss Agnes Hamilton's dancing classes. The event was the Christ mas reception, and the hall was filled with admiring friends and relatives of the little people who occupied the floor, and, to the music of Gernert's Orchestra, tripped the Ucpso the new dances most gracefully. The costumes of the little misses were marvels of beauty, and tbe coquettish airs of petite wearers gave them a piquancy very be witching. Miss Hamilton, in a pretty toilet of cream silk, was everywhere present, and by her clever management, scarcely a misstep was taken even by the smallest of the dancers. An Annual Church Sapper. The ladies of the Eighth Presbyterian Church, West End, give their annual supper to their fdendsjst the Metropolitan Sink, Steuben -.street, this evening. An elegant repast will be served, and a Chinese bazaar, under the direction of several Chi namen of this city, will constitute one of the features of the entertainment. The proceeds are lor the benefit of the church. C0HEJG OUT INTO SOCIETY. A Brilliant Stent at the Duciuesno Club House Iaist Evening. The white and gold assembly rooms of the Duqnesne Club House last evening was re splendent with one of the brilliant events of the season the coming-out ball of Miss Stella Hays, given by her mother, Mrs. John Sboenberger Hays, of Sherman avenue. The ball was a sequel to the after noon tea given at the Havs' residence re cently, both a tea and a ball are considered necessary now to properly introduce a young lady Into society and was of the same order of elegance. The guests comprised the ultra circles of the two cities, and by the attentions show ered upon Miss Hay's, her reign an a belle is assured. For the evening she was superbly attired, and the brilliancy of her pretty eyes was greatly heightened by the excite ment otthe hour and an unusually long nap taken in the afternoon. OEOSOE KENNAN COMING. He Will Lecture January 10 at Old City Hall. The Lecture Committee of the Pittsburg Press Club has secured George Kennan, the famous Siberian explorer, to deliver a lecture in this city.

There has been brought to light, says the Jtfew York Tribune, an exceedingly clever and audacious swindle, by which three men were induced to pay f 10,000 for an alleged silver mine in Colorado. Dr. Henry Bobin son, of No. 402 Fifty-eighth street. New York, is a well-known English physician, who has been in that city for about two years and a half. He has been in the habit of taking his meals in the Grenoble Flats, No. 200 West Eifty-6eventh street, where he made tbe acquaintance of William Noble, the owner of the flats. Last May, Dr. Bobinson met a man in the restaurant who introduced himself as John Shay, and said he would like to have the doctor call on a friend of bis who was sick. Dr. Bobinson called with Mr. Shay at the Continental Hotel, and was introduced to a man who went by the name of Delmont, The doctor diagnosed his case as a pecu liar and rare disease called lucocythemia, or enlargement of tbe spleen. The sick man was told lie had only four months to live, as there was no cure for him. This was the last seen of Delmont for three months, and then Dr. Bobin son was called to attend him at the Lincoln Hotel, where, after visiting him and prescribing for him for a week or more, be was told by Delmont as a secret that he owned a mine in Granite, Chaffe countv, Col., and that while digging in it he had found a lode of silver estimated to be worth 52,000,000. He said, however, that it was in the claim or a man named Weston, whom he was trying to find to buy his claim from him. Delmont died with the story on his lips, and the doctor paid for bis funeral. Shortly afterward Mr. Shay turned up and told the secret of the mine to Dr. Bobinson, and together they went to Mr. Noble and his brother, who" went with Shsy to Washing ton, and there paid Weston $10,000 in cash, with a mortgage of $20,000, for the claim. Therjarty then went to inspect the mine and found it to be a myth. Delmont was an old "bunko steerer," and died in harness.

In medical electricity tbe electo therapeutist uses general faridization, central calyanlzation, local faridl zatlon and local galvanization. The electro surceon uses these methods of application, with the addition of electrolysis (which is elec tric needle operating), and galvano cautery by electro surgery. We perform the most difficult, delicate ana heroic surgical operations by elec tricity instead of the Knife. Hundreds of nervous people who require surgical treatment often put it off until too late, beoanse they have a perfect horror of helng operated on with the surgeon's knife, while they don't hesi tate to be operated on by electricity. The electro snrgeon is called on to treat such cases as the following: SUPERFLUOUS HAIR On the Female Face.
