- r-t THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH., SATURDAY, JANUARY- IT, 189L m ART AND PLEASURE. -A Iietiew of the Work of Ycreslcha gin. the Russian Painter. QUITE A BUSY FRIDAY IN SOCIETY. A Xnmber of Entertainments That Were Social Successes. rLEASAXT RECEPTION TO A PASTOR In Tiew of the excitement which the Ver estchagin collection, now on exhibition at Carnegie Library, has justly created in this city, it -will be interesting to review the artistic work in relation to his eeneral char acter. Vassili Vcrestchagin is by birth a noble man, and wealthy by inheritance; he is a traveler by inclination, and a philosopher by experience, but an artist by impulse and from choice. These various circumstances prompt him to treat, with masterstrokes, an immense variety of subjects. Thus it is the religious feeling inoculated, if not inherent, in the Russian aristocracy, that causes him to plant his easel before the Sea of Galilee, in some oriental courtyard, suggestive of the workshop of the Savior's Father, or before Abraham's tomb; again, his love for humanity and the somber philosophy born of the reek of liuuun blood, urges him to paint the hor rors of battlefields with a truth that scarce falls short of the hideous reality, in order to check the awful havoc of war by exciting the pity of mankind. The true love of the beautiiul, or an artistic feeling for the crotesque, guide his facile brush in depict ing the oriental luxuriance of the gardens that surround the Taj JIahal, the Himalaya Mountains, seen from Darjeeling, some char acteristic faces, or a begging dervish. Vcrestchagin is a thorough realist. Des pite his technical mastery, he is incapable of stepping beyong the truth. Even in the large canvas of the "Crucifixion," a fit sub ject for inspiration, he has only photo graphed, as it were, a highly probable illus tration of a Roman execution. Andrei, the painting has its dramatic power by vir tue of this very, absence of iutcntion to be more than truthful. A very pleasing conception of the "Holy Family." It is nothing mure than a genre painting of a court yard. The unstudied at titudes of the figures lend a charm to the composition that studied poses would lack. Advantages of Sketching on the Spot. The war pictures wercmostly made on the fields of battle. As Adjutant of General Skobelefi, Verestchstgin had special ad vantages for sketching on the spot. His soldiers have not been painted tram models hired at so much an hour, who dress in the proper accoutrements, lie down upon a mat tress and pose until it was time for them to sit for some other artist and for another character. His models were the dead and riving, as he found them upon the battle fields; corpses who have retained the I right ful gestures ol the last struggle in the rigor of death. Foremost in point of study and execution among these pictures is a large hospital scene. The tents are too small to hold all the unfortunates brought in from the battle field, and the sloping ground is covered with soldiers, wounded and dying "For God and the Czar," as the Russian battle cry has it. In the inuldleground one has risen to his leet in the restless :igony caused by havinc had his jawbone shot to pieces. The face of the man, with his blood-covered bondage, is in itself a sermon against the wholesale butchery called war. A mournful grandeur pervades "Blessing theTJead." The corpse-strewn field almost ' merges into the somber clouds that banc low as it to mercilully cover the horror of this awful spot ot peopled solitude. "What are the thoughts ot the priest and the officer who are administering the last lites to this silent throng? Yerestcbagin has remarkable power for preserving local color. He runs the scale, from a Northern snowstorm to the brilliancy of Oriental scenes, with equal force. The two small pictures of the Taj Mahal, the large "Entrance of the Prince of Wales in JJoiubay," the scenes from Palestine, etc, are as lull of sunlight as the "Hanging of Nihilists," Skobeleff at Plevna," and "All Quiet on Shipka Pass" are lull of the biting cold atmosphere ot Russian winters. Remarkable Technical Daring. The two large mosque interio's. as well as the smaller ones, are remarkable exhibition of technical daring. In the large 'Private Mosque" the perspective ot the white marble interior is handled with exquisite delicacy, the shades of blue in the shadows being low ered in scarcely noticeable gradations. Tnere is not a single picture, large or email, in the collection that would not be worth seeing, and the most fascinating part about it is that every picture either tells its story or gains intere'st by reason of the story connected with the scene it depicts. Next to the paintings, the collection of carpets, laces, embroideries and metal ware is worth seeing. Verestchagin has been in a position to make his own selections on the spot, and therefore his carpets really represent the countries in which they were made. Here is a gorgpons marvel of" textile fabric from bamarkand; there one from Khiva; over yonaer one irom Buckhara. In this case you tee metal vases upon which have been lav ishly squandered the most delicate designs in niello knowii to the oriental jeweler, and in another case can be seen the gold em broideries and laces that deck the bride at a Kh'rgiz wedding. TUX FOE LITTLE FOLK. -V Jmenllc Party Git en by Dr. Hasellon's Four Clrtldrcn. Roma, Marcia, Norman and Francis Huselton, the children of Dr. E. C. Husef ton, entertained a large company of gay little people at their charming home on Stockton avenue last evening which, early in the afternoon, had been prepared for the tripping of the tiny feet. The little guests began to arrive about S o'clock, and very shortly the spacious, handsome rooms were throneed with cav, happy childhood, ar rayed in costumes that only wealth and per fect taste could sucgest Dancing was indulged in for some time, and an elegant supper, served by Kennedy on a picturesquely beautiful tab'le, was the climax of the, evening's garetv. Prettv little souvenirs were features of the affair. " OX THEIE WAT HOME, 1hen Friends Will Tender Mr. and Mrs. James 1'orter a Reception. Mr. James Porter and his charminc bride, who. since their wedding in Springfield, O., about four weeks ago, have been traveling iu the South, will arrive in Pittsburg next week, and arrangements have been made to teuder them a reception in the parlors of the First U. P. Church, Allegheny. Mr. Porter is a piominent member of that church, and Mrs. Porter is greatly inter ested in all cnurch, missionary and charit able work. The Reception Committee will be composed of the Sunday school teachers of the church. A LAKE THEATER PABTY C.ien Ijlit Eteninc by Mrs. Charles A. Palntrr, at the Doqnesne. A theater party numbering 44 guests, with Mi. Charles A. Painter as hostess, listened to Agues Huntington at the Duquesnc Tueater. last evening, and afterward took possession of the ladies' cafe at the Duquesue Club.House,.where an elaborate- menu, was served. In numbers and magnificence of toilet this was probably the most notable theater party of the season. Exquisite floral arrancements in the cafe gave an added air of brilliancy to the supper scene, and it was at a late hour when the last guest emerged from the clubhouse and the last equipage disappeared from Sixth street. LIVING PICTURES IK A CHUECH. An Interesting Entertainment That Was Highly Enjoyed. The lecture room of the Second Presby terian Church was the scene of an exceed ingly pretty entertainment, last evening, in which the members of the Adelaide Howard Mission Band covered themselves with glory. A triancular stage had been erected in n corner of the room adjoining one of the church parlors, which served ad mirably as a greenroom, and with drop cur tain and footlights, some very pretty effects were obtained. The entertainment was called a "concert and living pictures," and consisted of innumerable pretty tableauzand vocal and instrumental music, Miss Bertha Kaderly and Clifford M. Borah appearing as soloists, and Gernert's Orchestra render ing valuable assistance. The audience was delighted with the performance, and ex pressed its appreciation in the usual man ner, many times demanding a second view of the pretty pictures presented. "Ruth and Boas" were the first historical personages to appear, and seemed very much at home behind the footlights. Rebecca fol lowed, with her inseparable well; then Pharoah's daughter received the infant Moses from the hands of bis mother, after which Job and his three daughters made an interesting familr. Mother Goose melodies by the "Flower of the Flock" preceded the thrilling rescue of John Smith. "Trying on the Slippers," decidedly realistic, ap pealed to every feminine" heart and to the humor of the gentlemen. "The Mar riage of Cinderella and the Prince" was pretty enough to make any girl wish to be come a bride, and the "Courtship in Ye Olden Time" emphasized the wish. "The Peace Maker" appropriately followed the wedding, and courtship scenes and Tenny son's "Dream of Fair Women" preceded quaint Priscilla and sturdy John Alden. "Good Night" and "The Ten Virgins" con cluded the wonderfully pretty and pleasure able entertainment PREPARING FOE LENT. An Elegant Fancy Dress Party to Be Given Before the Fast. During the intervals of rest between the dances at the regular hop at the Linden Club last evening conversation drifted nat urally and generally to the fancy dress ball that will close the ante-Lenten festivities on Tuesday evening, February 10, preceding the beginning of Lent. It is to be a very brilliant affair, and some 200 invitations will be issued to the club members, who will each have the privilege of inviting at least two of their Iriends, so that a large and fashionable gathering is inevitable. It is to be a subscription ball, with elegant music, and a delicious supper served by a promi nent East End caterer. A list of patronesses consisting of numerous representative social ladies will give the proper and dignified cast to the invitations, and will serve as a reception committee on the evening in ques tion. The ladies are all busy cudceling their pretty heads for something unique and handsome in the way of costumes, and the gentlemen are secretly exulting over the fact j that on this occasion, at least, they may be deck their comely limbs in the picturesque style of their forefathers, and weave billows ot lace upon their manly bosoms. Another event in the luture of the Lin den Club, which has become the svnonvm tor all social gayety, is the presentation of the operetta. Doctor of Alcantara," by Julius JMdiDerg, to tafce place immediately after Lent. The leading roles will be as sumed by some of the city's best soloists, and the operetta is even now'under rehersal. DELIGHTFUL DAYLIGHT DECEPTION Tendered to Congressman Wolverton's Daughter Yesterday Afternoon. A large number of guests responded to in vitations and appeared at the handsome Bnrt residence, on Lincoln avenue, yester day afternoon, where Mrs, W. H. Burt and her fascinating daughter received them, in company with Mrs. Biddle Arthurs, Con gressman Wolverton's daughter, whose elab orate wedding is still fresh in the minds of society people. Flowers reigned from one extreme of the lovely home to the other, carnations and .hyacinths blooming from mantels and tables in the parlor where the receiving ladies were stationed, and roses and hyacinths made beautiful the dining room, anjd made the table a thing of beanty. The library was heavier in its decorations of potted plants, with palms and ferns. The hostess was charming in a black lace costume over black silk, sparkling with jet ornaments. Miss Burt was attired in a dainty blue crepe de chiffore, and the guest of honor appeared in her lovely bridal robes. The hours were from 3 to 5, and about 400 guests were present. Later an elaborate dinner was given for a few gentlemen and the ladies who assisted during the after noon, who were Miss McCIure, of Sharon; Miss Blair, of Scwickley; Miss Evart, Miss Palmer, Miss Castv, Miss Kirkpatrick, Miss Edith Hurford, Miss Jennings, Mrs. Harry Watts, Miss Ferguson, Mrs. Dale Jennings, Mrs. Ben Jennings and Mrs. J. W. Flenniken. A CHEERFUL HOME-COMING. Delightful Eeception Tendered to a Pastor and His Bride. A social event of considerable importance was the reception given last evening by the members ot the Bingham Street M. E. Church for their pastor, Rev. J. A. Ballau tyne, and his sweet, stylish young bride, nee Hettie Ford. Bev. and Mrs. Ballantyne have, since their wedding, the most fashion able one of the week of prayer, been enjoj ing sights and scenes in distant cities, and their home-coming was a very pleasing one. The parsonage in which they will reside had been very tastefully refitted and lur nished for the arrival of the lair yonng mis tress, and the entire congregation assembled to welcome her in the church parlors last evening. Handsome floral decorations and elegant costumes gave a charming aspect to the parlors, ana harmony and good wishes reigned. Delightful refreshments were served by a committee. Social Chatter. Mrs. J. L. Causer, of Fifth avenue, gave an elegant luncheon yesterday. MSS.A.S.M. Morgan entertained a num ber of her friends .very handsomely yestertlay afternoon.

Marlon Crawford's now story, THE "WITCH OF PKAGCK." Openlnc chapters in TO-MORROWS DISPATCH.- -1 A RELIGIOUS ASPECT Given to the Political devolution Which Snrprised Kansas. THE NEW LEADERS NOT ORTHODOX. In Fact, a Number of Them Wage Open War Upon the Churches. JEEEI SIHPSWS CAMPAIGN HET110DS ISFXCUL TEXEOBAM TO THIS DIBFATCII.1 Topeka, Kan., Jan. 16. There are cer tain characteristics among the leaders of the people's party movement in this'State which makes their success in the recent campaign all the more surprising. If the party continues to prosper, the sentiment of the State must undergo a complete change. The rank and file are years behind the lead ers in every principle of the movement. Kansas has heretofore been a State of in tense religious feeling. The chnrches haver been prominently identified with politics and the pastors have thought it incumbent upon themselves to deliver political ser mons. The Methodist Church has formed the great strength of the Bepublican party, for its membership has been largely composed of Grand Army men. The German Cath olic Church has been and is Democratic. This was due to the stand taken by the two old parties on the prohibition question. All of the Protestant churches, more especially in the cities, were forced to espouse the cause of the Republicans on account of their advanced temperance ideas, and the Demo cratic fight was necessarily against them. The Mew Leaders Very Liberal. The men and women who sprung into prominence and manaced the campaign for the People's party are, for the most part, free thinkers and atheists. Some of them belong to the Unitarian Church, and have such liberal ideas on orthodox questions that they have been led into a denunciation of the interference of the church in political matters, and consequently into a fight on the chnrches themselves. Jerry Simpson, who made such a wonder ful'campaign in the Seventh Concessional district, had all of the power ot the church directed against him. He did not attempt to conceal the fact that he was an unbe liever, but on the stump publicly declared that ho gave religious questions no thought whatever, but addressed himself to those which he could understand and hoped to change. Mr 8. M. E. Lease is an infidel, and she is croud of it. She was by far the most im portant factor in molding public sentiment in the campaign, aud her phillippics against the old parties stirred up the masses to such an extent that a calmer discourse would not be listened to. ''The day has passed," said she' in conversation with a newspsper cor respondent, "when it is a disgrace to be an infidel. It means now that one is a broad thinker, and the people to whom the term is applied represent the advanced thought of the age." i All In the Same Line. Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, the associate editor of the Alliance Advocate, belongs to the Unitarian Church, and so does Frank Doster, who is being groomed for United States Senator. But the day has passed when either recognizes anything more in Christianity than a broad humanity, and both are ready at all times to defend their position. Mrs. Diggs, next to Mrs. Lease, was the most successful campaigner in the people's movement. She is a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, differing with Mrs. Lease on the prohibition question. Mrs. Diggs believes .temperance is a virtue, but her temperance work is a secondary matter, and the religious features of it have no attraction for her. Henry, Charles and William Yincent, three brothers who own and edit the Win field 2Ton-Conformi$t, and Cyrus Corning, editorof the. Workman, an Alliance paper pnblished at Eldorado, are of the same re ligious belief as Jerry Simpson. Corning and the Vincents have been labor agitators for years, and have from the first been recog nized leaders in the farmer movement. The appeals made by the Bepublican Central Committee to the church-going element on the temperance question and the ready response of the pastors brought to the sur face the elements which war on religion. The persons mentioned are only a few of the more important, but they represent the brains of the new movement. A crnsade against the existing order of things had to be made general in order to be successful. The country preachers at first were very pro nounced in tbeir advocacy of reforms in politics. Preachers as Congressional Candidates. Tber were candidates for Congressional nominations and in the Sixth Congressional district five out of the seven candidates be fore the Alliance Convention were preach ers. But it was not this element of the party which came to the front as the cam paign progressed. These same people with their liberal religious views are without ex ception single tax advocates. The farmers who have thrust them forward do not com prehend the meaning of the Henry George movement nor do they understand why cer tain of their leaders are supporting Fiank Doster for Senator. Some weeks ago a man who represented himself as a correspondent of a New York daily came to Topeka and gave it out that he intended to thoroughly investigate the causes of the late uprising. He was ex tended every courtesy by the politicians and his paper was watched to see what would be the result of his investigation. As none of his efforts appeared in print, suspicion was aroused and inquiry revealed the fact that he represented the New York Standard.
