Its ancestry was vouched for bv Mr. TVebster as beinj; what might be called "poor but proud," and thoroughly harmo nious and musical, though frsm lock of in fluence and prestige it has been compelled to wait the lower strata of life. Merit will be recognized, however, sooner or later, and in this case Prof. Kane, ot Harvard University, was the learned and influential man who detected in the much aespiscd, g.nmin-wMitlcd little air the mak ing of a irasterpiece of music Hence the future of "Over the Fence is Out" is brilliant, as nothing but respect can be paid the prolejre of such an acknowledged great man.

It rrallj is too j.rovol.1 p," the reccntlv-vlc-tinnzed young UUy concluded, vitu a pretty little pout and a thrug of the shoulders. Harmony Carried to tho Extreme. It is quite the proper thing no to carry out the continuity of a tailor-made gown, a four-ln-liand tie, over-gaiters and a stiff little wait ing hat by scratching a match, it occasion re quires on the sole of tho Equarc-toe4 walking boot.

It is to bofcopeil. hoeer.tha the advocates and wear ers or the Cleopatra gowns will boan exception to the rule, and will not be compelled to inn tato In action the renowned woman whose robes they affect. To Le strictly fashionable, though, one must possess an JC-jptian diTan with quaint .hieroglyphics "carved upon its wooden legs and draped with brocade ot a becoming color.

The backbone or ijeut is broken and in a few weeks now gayety of all kinds will be resumed. Bnch diversions as charity. Intellectuality and cooking will accordingly retire into their proper Insignificance in favor of the revived dissipa tions. The spun of the average Pittsburg mor tal is becom'ng restless under the continued attack ot inclement weather and with longing and sighs are bicycles and tricycles suneyed and tennis racquets examined.

A very pretty and styl.sh wedding broke the Lenten quiet last week when Miss Mary Lulu Cavitt was united to Mr. Ralph H olden Binns. The ceremony was performed in St. Andrew's Church, and the crush bore evidence, in muddy footprints, or the regard with which Miss Cavitt was held, for it must have been deepre gard that induced her nunv friends to brave the rain and snow and be present at her nuptials, Sllinir, of course, with the groom's friends, the entire church. ft Treats for tlie Coming VTeelr. beveral lectures are announced for the com ing week, and,piano recitals also. Prominent among tho first class is the lecture by Felix Adler at Carnegie Hall Wednesday evening on "Limitations of Religious Radicalism." Dr Adler comes for the !lret time to this city for the lecture, which is unuer the auspices ot the Young Men's Hebrew Association. He is about to start for Europe to found a school of ethical culture there similar to the one he is President of in Ivew York. K. H. TVATsoir. ET THE SOCIAL WGELD.

It was the fiftieth anniversary of fie birth of Anton V.'olf, the proprietor. The number of persons present was quite large, and was made up ot Mr. and Mrs. Wolfs family, their relaiives and friends. The occasion was one of ucch enjoj tnent for the guests, a number of pleasing inci dents having occurred, one of which was the presentation to Mr. Welt ot a walnut table in laid with ditferent colors of bard wood and finely carved. Much was added to the attract ive jess of tne piece of furniture by the manner in which different colors were arranged.

The table was made and presented by Christopher Tcpe, who lives on a large farm near West Elizabeth. The wood was grown on his property.

After the tea there was a musical and literary entertainment, all the music being in the vanouseyof C" and the title of each recitation commenced with the same letter. It is needless to say that every soloist struggled for either a high or low "C" accord ing to the nature or bis or ber voice.

Colonel James Duffy, who has been ap pointed on Governor Paulson's staff, is over six feet tall and of military bennr g. He halls from Marietta, Pa., where ho exercises his authority as Chief Burgess. The warrants for armory rent for the past year are being anxiously awaited by military landlords and tenants all over the State. They will probably be started out from Harrlsburg about the last of this month. General Wtlie favors a site near Hulton, on the A. V. R. R., for the next encampment of the brigade. On account ot the nearness to the city the place is deemed unfavorable by most of the officers, as the encampment would be overrun wun visitors wno wonid be con stantly Interfering with the performance of auty. Captaik Heset Schmidt, of Company A, Fourteenth Regiment, has decided to fit out bis command with leggings of the United States pattern. The company isnow drilling twlceevery week and making all possible nreparations for the inspection next month. Captain Schmidt expects to spend the coming summer in Europe ana shortly apply for au extended leave of ab sence. One of the companies of the Eighteenth Regiment is laboring under tho tension of a bad disagreement between its officers. The company has been rated among the best in the regiment for several years past, and mainly on account of the officers who are now on the "outs. Unless the difficulty is patched up soon the commandant of the regiment will be com pelled to take a hand. The commissions of the three officers of Conipan) G, of the Fifteenth Regiment, ex pire to-morrow and as yet no orders have been isned for another election. As the inspection ot the regiment is near at hand the company is placed in a bad position. It is understood Captain W. W.Hani a. has accepted the elec tion of Major of the Hftcenth, as at the recent election at Greenville he received eight of the 15 votes cast. QUABTBRatASTEn JOHN HUBBARD, of the Fourteenth Regiment, has been selected by Colonel Percbtuent for the position of Adju tant left vacant by the resignation of Lieuten ant Robb.

There are a number of applicants for tho position of Qdar termaster, prominently among them beiu Lieutenant McClaln. The requisition of Company 1','Elghtecrth Rogiment, for uniform cloth, which has beeu anxiously awaited for a number of months, was finally honored by the Adjutant General's office last week, and the new clothes will be made at once. It is again rumored that Captain Holmes of this companv is going to tender his resignation at an early date. Just where these rumors originate is haid to say, as Captain Holmes Is always too attentive to his military duties to give eronnds for any such talk. Major General SiiOWdex is making an effort to have the three battalion organization adopted in this State. He was one of the orig inal advocates of the system and there are good prospects of his suggestions meeting the approval of the Governor and the Adjutant General. The system has now been practically demonstrated in tho Regular Army and in the National Guard of ii uomber of States, and it is claimed the change could be made in Penn sylvania without materially increasing tho Guard. General Snowden has the addition of another battery and troop or cavalry in view, as reports of various regular officers in the Penn S)ivanla Guard have suggested. There aro now three batteries and troops in the State, Gekeeal Wiley has not yet announced who will succeed Major Greenland as Brigade Quartermaster, altbongh the choice seems to have narrowed down to three people, ex-Quartermaster Robert Patterson and Captain A. J. Logan, of this city, and Captain George C. Hamilton, of Warren, Pa., who is now on Gen eral Wiley's staff as Aid-de-camp. 1 he en dorsements of the organizations of the brigade have been split up pretty evenly between Messrs. Patterson and Logan, Captain Lugan having been recommended by tho two city regiments at the last meetings of the officers. Captain Hamilton has been named as the winner by those in a position to know. Tho appointment is an Important one to the differ ent commands in the brigade and any one of the three gentlemen would no aoubt fill the bill successfully.

They have alreadv been published in this column. Free War Library and Museum. One of the important matters acted upon by the Altoona encampment was the project to establish a free war library and museum in Philadelphia. The report and recommendations of the committee appointed by Department Commander Denniston to look into the matter wereadonted. The plan originated with the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. The inten tion is to erect a handsome building in some cent-al location in Philadelphia. In May. 18i9, an act was passed appropriating 550,000 to be used by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and the Grand Army of the Re public of Pennsylvania in carrying out the plan. One of the conditions of the appropria ilon was that tho two organizations should raise an additional $100,000 before the J50.000 would be available. The committee renortil! "TOa oa nf tha opinion that it wfll bo impossible for tbo De partment of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Reoublic, to raise its proportionate share (J50 -000) of siid amount within the time prescribed. Tho Militarv Order of the Loyal Legion has ex pressed Its willingness and ability to accept and fully comply with all the terms and conditions of said act, and has expressed a further will ingness to go ahead and complete the free war library and museum and erect a suitable and proper building therefor, and to provide sultablo accommodations therein for the use of th Department of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic; providing, however, that the Department of Pennsylvania, Granu Army of the Republic, will relinquish and abandon all rignts,ctc.,to participated said appropriation." Ihe encampment seemed to favor the relin quishment of all rights to the appropriation If the Loyal Legion would accept all the terms and conditions of the act, establish the war library and museum and provide snitable and proper quarters therein for nso of the Depart ment of Pennsylvania. Grand Army ot the Re public. All action in the matter was referred to the Department Commander and Council of Administration with full power to act. From General Sherman's Family.

It will require no great stretch of the imagination to see in this delightful delineation of char acter the image of onr own genial and warm-hearted Hetzel, with his pipe and umbrella, albeit the description of costume and personal appearance is unlike. "I was riding back from Versailles," says Halevy, "I had taken the longest road through Marnes and Ville d'Avray. "When passing through the roid that bears the name of 'Fausses Reposes,' I suddenly per ceived a man got up like a countryman, in blue calico blouse, cordurov trousers, broad-brimmed straw hat and all, seated be fore an easel, tinder a white parasol. I pulled np a little surprised. "Who on earth was this old chap painting away at his land scape? I recognized Pere Corot. There he was all alone, working in this deep silence, broken only by the birds singing overhead. Kature and he looked like two old friends, accustomed to live together as old cronies, understanding and loving one another thor oughly. Suddenly Corot rises, begins to hunt in bis pockets, pulls out an old pipe and an old pouch crammed with tobacco. Slowlv, care fully, lovingly, he fills his pipe. He was a mighty smoker before the Lord. After which a fresh hunt in his pockets, and now the old man is seized with a lively anxiety. He hunts and hnnts and finds not. Tis no longer anxiety, 'tis despair. He bas forgotten his matcbcsl To go back home for a box, or spend the day without a pull at his dear pipe, as he used to say i poor choice! I bad some matchesl A little box of wax matches with a portrait of M. Thiers, the whole for a penny. An ingenious negotiation came into my head. What a tempting specula tion! Say to Pere Corot. "Give me this lit le landscape, and I, In return, will give yon this little box of matches, with a pretty portrait of M.Thiers into tho bargain! Picture for plct urer Perhaps Corot would have agreed but I dared not. I approached. Hearing the dry leaves crackling unaer my horses hoofs Co ot turned around. I saw his eves gleam. Ah! if only this gentleman should have a light that's what Pere Corot wai saying to himsslf. And I generously gave him mv Utile box of matches. I never remember receiving such hnartfrlt thanks. I went oil through the woods at a walking pace. At about 60 metres distance I turned my bead. Tbe old countryman had set to work again, but between thu painter and his picture arose the ureaths of a light column of smoke. Pere Corot had lit his pipe." Dear old Corot! Ho died as belived a simple, pure, unaffected man. "When the spring conies I will paint a beautiful picture," he said, short ly before death approached, "I see a sky lull of roses." The last reception of the Pittsburg Art So ciety was held on Thursday evening of the past week. Mr. H.H. Stevenson's studio met an unfortu nate fate in the recent disaster by fire on Wood streot. No money value will adequately repre sent the loss to Mr. Stevenson, because the many articles ot virtu gathered by an artist passes a worth ontsido tbe simple commercial estimate. Tbe assembling of them is a labor of love, and each bas its association with some journey or incident. In fact, a studio must grow, and ibis loss means years of labor and patience on Mr. Stevenson's part before be can surround himself with a wealth of articles jsqual to that which was swept away by fire. He certainly bas tbe sympathy of his fellow artists. The Pittsburg Art School suffered slight damage from tho same cause, but not sufficient to interfere with the operations of the students. Mr. C. S. Reinhart, who has been painting a picture in Ohio, pased through tho city Friday on his way to New York. n The Chicago Society cf Artists moved Into its fine new quarters at the Athenaeum this month, but will give its first public reception in the new gallery In April. Many ot its members are preparing pictures to be shown at that time. Everv effort will be put forth to make this spring exhibition commensurate with the grow ing Importance of the association.

The painter packed up his canvas and left for Paris. Prim was assassinated and Regnanltwas Killed by tbo German before Paris. Now tbe artists are so fond of the picture that there was a sen sation tbe other day because it was temporarily absent from Its place in the Louvre. For the present, Millet's "Angelus" is much cheapened aud suborned to commerce. A rnde ehromo of it, exhibited in tha grocer's window, is held out as a premium to buyers ot a certain kind of wasblngsoao. Of course, tbe original painting will outlast the ehromo, and so come into its own again. This outrage on art is growing. It is said that $100,000 was offered to Meissonler for a picture to be used in a busi ness way. A carefully painted picture, illustrating an enisode in tbe life of Pickwick, is on exhibition at Boyd's. It I the work of Mr. George Etch- baum. Mr. J. McH. Reinhart exhibits at Mellor A Hoeno's a picture of a painter.

Mr. George F. Kunz, of New York, will give a lecture on "Gems and Precious Stones." with magic lantern illustrations. As he is the author ot "Precious Stones of Amer ica," and expert for Tiffany & Co., New York, something interesting may be expected. The Hacko Gallery -will soon be a thing of tbe past, Mr. Panl Hacke having decided to rent tbe rooms as soon as tbe paintings can be sold. Tbe history of this gallery furnishes a striking example of the fact that Pittsburg is a good market for meritorious paintmas from, others than the schedule names handled by the traveling picture dealers. It Is to be regretted that Mr. Hacke does not propose to make further acquisitions but is determined to sell ont regardless of possible losses. FOR SEASICKNESS Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate.
