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.

Press Club has secured George Kennan, the

uary 10, and the place Old City Hall. Mr.

a line of communication with Siberia and
its victims, and his Pittsburg lecture will be
tbe beginning of a series of revelations that
will astonish the world.

DIED SWINDLING.
Three Men Deceived Into Baying a Worth
less Silter Mine.
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.

Surgical Electricity.
Is that branch of electro therapeutics relating
to surgical diseases and conditiung. 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:

in merchandise. Thanks for your attendance and liberal patronage.
You evidently know where to come to have a good time and save money.

the few remaining days of 1890 forever memorable in the minds of those
who appreciate genuine bargains. We intend to

THE DISCOUNT IS VERY GREAT! If we could

This opportunity offered at a time when you need winter

IS OVER!
The reductions are so large and the fair way in which
we are losing money all around is too apparent to need any
bolstering up as a gift concern. We are not using any of the
airy plans or gift devices to get a rush.
We have been doing more than our share of trade all

We've half a million too much clothing made this season.
WE MUST CUT IT ALL DOWN.
