She is a finished art. -t, in vbom'the charm of natural ness is felt by everyone that sees her.

Xono of the Devon el ire country rcople are at home in such parts. 1 be have none of the burr on their touguc, aid tlicv cannot as-uiuc it. They appear to hae studied the dialect lrom books, instead of m a octating with the people accustomed to ue it in their daily lives. They are all good ai lists, too. Their deficiencies are natural, and such as cannot be overcome by education. 1 ins applies to Mr. feothern, as well as to the two Udies that play Mrs. liollut ana Deborah respectively. . 1 here is not much to bo glad about in the in tention of Sol Smith Russell to try a new play next season. "A Poor Kelation" is so pleasing, and it seems to tit Mr. Russell eo exactly, that we cannot conceive of another play that'would pive him the sarae;opportumty to exhihitjns tal ents, btili, as he ays, lie has dona "A Ioor Relation" lor three j ear:?, and he feel3 as if he needs a change. There is one comfort, he cap not be anything but entertaining, no matter what he appears in. Bijou Theater. Anew play is to bo seen at the Bijou to morrow evening. It is entitled "Yon Yonson." The hero, a Swede, is played by Gus IXeese. The play has been well spoken of by the press In other cmes, and that the manager believes In It is proved by tbo following, which he gives The Bitatcu, in evident good faith: "The dramatic interest of "Yon Yonson' is very strong, and what is always commendable, it is In the hands of an exceptionally strong com pany. Mo star, hoveer clever, can afford to weaken his support. Gus Heege. who plays the title role in Yon 1 onson, will always com pel attention by his admirable characterization of a new and unique t pc.but the excellent com panj surrounding him aid in giving a smooth and satisfactory performance. Marion Klinore, a prime favorite, plays the part ct abovwith rare ability. Lena Merville plays a soubrette role, and handles it with a cleverness born of long experience and natural brightness. .Esther I.jonea-ily wins the sympathies of the audi ence in the part of an adopted daughter. Sadie Connollj dances and acts intelligently as an eccentric old Irishwoman. Charles C Manbury does same great acting as a villain, become so through for;e of circumstances; William Lee is as clever as the wicked partner; Charles btedman doubles two congenial roles excel lently, and W. K. Wilson is admirable as an J--nclsli tourist. The Mackinaw Lumberman's Quartet give some excellent selections. The tcenic effects of "Yon Yonson.' particularly the lumber camp m the second act, are superb. The sci ne is laid in winter, and the effects of sunset and moonlight on the snow and ice are beauti ful in the extreme, 1 he mechanical effect in tins act. showing the breaking of the log jam and a thrilling rescue, always brings down the uou-e." Duqtiebiio Theater. "The County r'air," Neil Burgess' New York access, comes to the Duqucsne Monday for one week. 1 be plot of the piece hinges mainly upon a horse race at the county fair, which is run at full speed for three-quarters of a mile in fuilviewof the audience. One of the horses belongs to Miss Abagail J'rue, whose prim curis, old maidenish was, houesty, bigheart edness and willingness to take the whole world into her sympathy, always win the hearts of the audience Hi r colt has been entered by her bo of all work, who has heard ol the niortgago on her little home, and is anxious to save the place to bis benefactress. Ot course, "Cold Molasses," for that's the horse's name wins, and the dear old lady is saved further anxit t Tne race is bona fide, with mechanism of revolving tracks. Besides Ihe race scene, ti ere is tne husking bee on the great floor of the old country barn, which is equally true to nature, and w hich will appeal with fully as great strength to memories of b)gone days. Then there is the characteristic old country dance, full of music, mcriiinent and motion, and as like the original as one pea is like an other. The company is said to be a powerful one, every member especially selected for his or her htness for tho character to be imperson ated, and includes the "County Fair" quar tette. The "Count) Fair" is rural in its in tent, but it is realistically rurak The scenes and characters might be taken from real life, and even the horses In the race scene are rid den by professional jockos. Wednesday and baturdar matinees will be given during the en gagement. Grand Opera House Anew comic opera, entitled "Influence," is to bo given at tho Grand Opera House next week, commencing Monday. A 2ew Haven paper says: "Influence," tho new comic opera by J. Franklin Warner, which was produced at Bunnell's Grand Opera Uouse last evening, was a pronounced success, if one may judge by the cordial manner In which it was received by a very large and very friendly audience. Tho music is certainly pleasing, and the piece was beautilully costumed. The scene in the third act, representing the ship Polaris, imprisoned In the ice of the Arctic Ocean, is dazzlincly beautiful. "The clot of the opera gives rise from first to last to a series of comical situations, which are made the best of by tbc company. Mr. Peasley particularly distinguished himself as William J alone, and Miss Donnette as Bridget il alone. Miss Beatrice Golde. the prima donna of the company, who impersonates Miss Livingston, is a graceful young lady with an excellent voice, which she displaced to good advantage In the sentimental and humorous numbers which fell to her lot." Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum, A convention of Fat Womenl The idea sounds quoer enough, bat It will be turned Into palpable fact by Manager Harry Davis at hli Fifth Avenne Museum this week. Fat worn en will arrive In this city from all quarters ol America, and at 10 A. K. on Monday morning will be escorted round Pittsburg by a proces sion of giyly dressed squires ana pages, with a brass Dand of SO pieces. The parade.over, they will adjourn to the Fifth Avenue Museum, where they will be called to order by Miss Maude Muller, who will act as President of the convention. Miss Muller is the delegate from Xew York State, and weighs oTer 1,000 ponnds. J Tho Secretary of the convention will b Madame Johnston, Pennsylvania's representative, whotipithe beimatSOO pounds. Atnongthe other delegates t be present arc: Mrs. Louisa Cortnni, weighing K0 pound', and represent ing New Jersev; Miss Marie Cortoni. of Dela ware, weighing 6u0 pounds: Big 'Alice, of In diana, weighing 900 pounds; and Miss Anna Bell, ot Ohio, weighing TOO pounds. Tho con vention will last one week, aud its delibera tions will bo open to the public. The Fat Women's Convention w ill bo followed at Harry Davis' Fifth Aeiiuc Museum by the Pittsburg first annuil baby show, which opens April 17. Manager Davis has offered 1,500 in prizes to the successful babies, and entries ate already being made at the museum box office. Every baby will be presented with a jumper by the Raymond Manufacturing Company, of Corry, Pa. 'World's Museum. At this popular place of amnsement thelead Ing attraction this week will be Nellie Yonng, tho golden-haired marvel, sun-tinted, gold glcaming wonder and her lovely children, the justly famous 10,000 beauties. Pearl and Ruby, the handsomest children in the world. The above is a bold assertion to make, when it is so generally known that every mother is apt to think her own children to be the handsomest and the best. But wherever Pearl and Ruby bac been exhibited, mothers of really hand some children have freely admitted that the claim made for these charming children is not one whit too great. Their features are like ideal features of angels, and are the admira tion of artists and students of physiognomy. Too girls aro iinely shaped, have very delicate features smooth, clear complexions, beautiful black eyes, and a fascinating perfection of visage. Tnev are rare ana radiant mortals to look upon. It would bo beneficial for every mother in the land to gaze upon these phe nomenal cherubs. In addition to these there are many curiosities and a splendid variety show. Academy of Music Messrs. Weber and Fields, two of the jolliest and cleverest of Teutonic comedians, who will appear with their own company at tho People's Theater this week, seem to have struck the key note of popular favor, not only in their own comical caricatures, bnt in the make-up of their company and their "combination" pro gramme. Theirs is the only company now traveling which gives a combined specialty and farce comedy programme, and their success has been lully as great as their departure from the "beaten path" sbonld warrant. In addition to giving a high-class specialty entertainment the entire companv appears in one of the most irre sistible of lunny absurdities, entitled "A Crazy Quilt" Harris' Theater. The German comedian Charles A. Loder comes here next week, appearing in a ncw;mu sical farce comeay entitled, "Hilarity." The comedy is said to be a conglomeration of every thing that is funny, jolly, and musically brilliant. Whispers. Hadsox CnAiiBF.ns has written a new play called "The Pipe ot Peace." "A Tair of Jacks," another new farce comedy, is going to ne here ere long. GkattaxDosselit's opera, "Ship Ahoy," is to follow "Fashions" at the Grand Opera House. The J. M. O'Riley Comedy Company will give an entertainment to-morrow evening in Academy Hall, Wilkinsburg. Miss Molly Beuciii.er (Beatrice More), of Allegheny, is at home resting. She will star next season in a new play and company of her own. William H. Ceake and his entire New York company will introduce the successful "Senator" to Pittsburg audiences In a fort night. "ICidnapped," by Mr. Hjggins. who is also the author of "The Plunger," will shortly be seen at one of our local theaters. It Is to have its Initial performance to-night at Havlin's Theater, Chicago. Augustus Prrou's new play, "The Power of the Press," seems to be successful in New Yoik. The scenic effects are said to be mar velous, and as every one knows who knows Mr. Pitou, the company is excellent. Mr. David Hesdersos's new spectacle will be presented at tho Chicago Opera House in a low weeks, and the scenery and costumes are already nearlng completion. The produc tion will be the most important that he has j et given. The story is taken from the "Arabian Nights." ADOLPHE Maillart, the veteran French actor, is dead at the age of SO. Ho was in tho company at the Theatre Fraucals from 1839 to IhOG, when he retired from the stage. In bis day he bad supported Rachel and other famous players. He was a brother of Aline Maillart, the composer. DoxxELLTand Girard, those clever come dians, will follow "The County Fair" at the Duquesue, presenting for one week their laughablo farce comedy, "Natural Gas." The compahy appearing is said to he the best they have ever had, and includes a number of good voices, pretty girls and clever specialists. "BLUE Jeaks," with its sawmill in full oper ation, is going to pay us a visit shortly. Tnis play was eminently successful In New York and packed the Fourteenth Street Theater for months. It is said to be highly sensational, yet there is lots of real worth from a dramatic standpoint, and the company is a most excel lent one. THE Pittsburg Amusement Lyceum is now prepared to furnish first-class entertainments for churches, societies and private parties. They are also agents for Mallon's School for Stage Arts. Lessons on the piano and banjo and stage dancing are to be taught here. Mr. Mal lon, the manager, is a clever artist and should make a success of his new enterprise. Mr. Joseph Arthur's purely American play, "The Still Alarm," will be seen at the Bijou next week. The fire engine scene, show ing the hitching and start of the horses to' the fire, is probably one of the most realistic scenes ever shown on any stage. The beautiful trained horses and the patient hound will accompany the company as far as Pittsburg. The play has been seen here several times, and always plays to enormous business. English dramatists and actors have advised Bronson Howard to cut out the death scene in "The Henrietta," on account of its being op posed to the tradition of true comedy, as viewed by the English play-goer. Mr. fetuart Robson has, however, cabled Mr. Howard that uo concessions must be made to such prej udices that the comedy must be played according to the American text, and that be will "shoot the dramatist on sight" If he dares to cut out a single comma. The prospects of Gilbert and Sullivan again collaborating in bringing about.D'Oyley Carto productions, a possibility which was recently looked upon as being almost a contract entered into, is now believed to have ended in what it began in smoke. The friends of both say that it is impossible to bnng the two former friends togetber again. Mr. Gilbert, in addition to his serious misunderstanding with Sir Arthur Sullivan, has also had a row with Alfred Celher. There is a wonderful amount of excitement anion; Pittsburg mothers just at present. Hun dreds of dovecotes in both cities have been fluttered, and the forthcoming baby show in Harry Dayis' Fifth Avenue Museum is the cause ot it all. Baby shows in any community arc unusual affairs and require a very large ex penditure of tact to bnng them to a successful issue. Mr. Davis has offered 1,500 in cash prizes for his baby show during the week of April 13, while a number of Pittsburg mer chants have placed JoOO ot goods at the mana ger's disposal to be competed for in the show. At tho Grand Opera House, the week of April 13. Robert Fitzsunmons, of Australia, will appear with Billy Woods, of Denver, and spar for points in a three-round glove coutest unlike the usual exhibitions generally given of the manly art. Tho champion will be supported bv a company picked from the leading artists ot me operatic ana vauaeviue stage, tne com pany, numbering 21 people, appearing In H. (.rattan Donnelly's comedy.

The Baldwin Locomotive Company, of Philadelphia, has a practical monopoly of the business of sup plying motive power to the numerous "boom" railways nnder construction in this country. Mr. P. B. Sheldermine, of Phila phia, was sent out by the Baldwin Company to instruct the railway people in the man agement and the peculiarities of the loco motives. A new engine was recently furnished the railway in Alasoas, known as the Paulo Alfonso. Mr. Shelmerdine left Piranhas January 20 to initiate the manager of the road, the master mechanic, etc., and make a practical test of the new machine. All were in the locomotive cab or on the tender. They bad proceeded only a kilometer when on a curve the locomotive suddenly left the metals and rolled down the bank 70 feet. Mr. Shelmerdine remem bers nothing of the occurrence save that he felt the engine sinking beneath him. When be recovered consciousness be was lying on the Bide of the embankment bleed ing from wounds on bis bead, arm and leg. The locomotive lay at the foot. Immediately on arriving Mr. Shelmerdine was arrested by a squad of the filthy black soldiers by order ot the local "Dogberry," and placed in jail, which was a fearful plsce. Outside a mob of blacks collected and howled for his life. Alter a while he was taken out of the foul dungeon, and, sur rounded by armed men, was removed to a small steamboat on the river near by. The mob followed to the place of embarkation, yelling and howling. Through the protest of the American Consul, a bearing was cranted Jlr. Shelmerdine and be was re leased. Reasons for Purchasing Everett Pianos. Because they are manufactured from the most carefully selected material. Because they remain in tune and up to pitch superior to all others. "Because the tone of the Everett piano is powerful, yet pure and well sustained. Because lrom their sympathetic quality of tone they are admirably adapted to the voice. Because they contain all desirable Im provements. Because the manufacturers are practical musicians and mechanics, familiar with every branch of their business. Because every piano is thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. Because each Everett piano is warranted for seven years. Because by purchasing from Alex. Boss, 137 Federal street, Allegheny, you will save at least 75 from the retail price, and can suit yourself in the manner of making pay ments.

The Buffalo express on the Lehifh Valley Bailroad, which left here at 1 o'clock, was wrecked at Port Bolkely station, five miles from here. One end ot a train of coal cars that were switched in at that place, in some manner was allowed to project on the main track. The passenger train, which runs through that place at about 40 miles an hour, crashed into the cars before the engineer could apply the brakes. The cab of the engine was completely torn away on the right side, the front of the bag gage car was wrecked, and one ol the Pull man sleepers derailed. The escape of the passengers was almost miraculons. The en gineer and baggagemaster were slightly in jured. The passengers were well shaken up and badly frightened, but all escaped un hurt. INTER-STATE Building and .Loan Association. A lew reasons why the security to share holders in the Inter-State Bnilding and Loan Association, of Bioomington, 111., is just as safe as Government bonds and pays five times the interest. 1. In strict compliance with the laws un der which this association is incorporated, all officers are amply and safely bonded to indemnify the shareholder against loss by the non-fulfillment or neglect ol their official duties. 2. The law provides that no money shall be loaned only to its own members, nor in any sum in excess of the amount of stock held by such members, borrowing, and that it shall be loaned on good and ample real estate unincumbered. 3. That all mortgages must be made non negotiable and uucollectable in the hands of any other person than said association. Aud that no officer or numberof officers can in any way pledge said mortgages as security, nor use them for their own use or personal benefit. This fact alone offers absolute se curity to tbc stockholder. 4. Our assets are first mortgages on real estate, and are growing better each month the borrower pays. C. No combination can be formed by capitalists, syndicates, or members, whereby the interests of one, however small, will be jeopardized. 6. All associations are governed by the law under which they are chartered; and nnder the law of Illinois this association cannot speculate in "margins," "stocks," "bonds," etc., nor loan one dollar on a note, even were it signed by the wealthiest men .of our country. Thus the security of the Inter-State Building and Loan Association is as near absolute as the wisdom of man can well devise. The Inter-State has loaned over ?200,000, and has a total security of $3 51 ior each dollar loaned. The profits to date are equal to 20 per cent Series for April now open; shares, 60 cents per mouth. All stock can be withdrawn and interest paid up to time of withdrawal, by giving 30 days' notice. Those who seek a safe and profitable invest ment can obtain lull information by apply ing to Inter-State Building and Loan Asso ciation, Boom 606, Penn building, Pitts burg, Pa.
