THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SUNDAY APRIL 20, 139L" 13 JtW'a. XrKy -W ipV' ' yC - " "" " I y-v y-gwii Ll Tri bealIty The coming May strikes, regarded with such aversion by the business men and man ufacturers, hare no effect upon society what soever. It goes on in the csnal happy man ner, with its teas, receptions, weddings and amateur dramatics, confident, indeed, that money for the present, at least, will be forth coming to meet all bills and expenses its doings and us desires may incur. Of the future it recks not; of the stringency In the money market that always follows resumption after a cessation of labor, it. cares not, and, in fact, seldom knows much, for most men make a noble effort, let It be said to their credit, to keep from their wires and daughters any idea ot financial difficulties or embarrassment Bo while the business men and manufact urers are prognosticating among themselves the effect of the coming labor troubles, society is preparing for its usual European or summer tour and enjoying meantime the sweets within its reach. Two Great Musical Events. The most important event of the spring in social circles is the May Festival, and that will attract not only the Dopulace of our own city but large numbers from neighboring towns and cities. Apropos of our May Festival the same talent that forms the attraction in it will be utilized at the opening of the Carnegie Music Hall in New l'ork City May ; and for that event Mr. Andrea Carnegie has reserved a proscenium box in the theater, and invited the members of the Carnegie Library Commission and several prominent musi cians of the city to occupy it, The box accommodates nine, the commission numbers IS and the musicians are extra, but as four evening performances and two matinees are to be given, the mathematical problem will doubtless be solved in equity, even providing the en.ire party shonla accept. Among the m-ielcians who contemplato going are Prof. Kari Retter. Prof. McCollnm, Prof. J. H. Git tings and Organist Leonard Wales. A number of social affairs of minor Import ance to the festival are booked for May and June, among them the wedding of Miss Mar garet Jane McMillan, the daughter of Rev. H. H McMillan, of Stockton avenue, Allegheny, and Mr. Renwick Sloan, a brother of Professor S'oaa, of Princeton College, and a wealthy yourgreal estate dealer. This wedding will unite two very ancient ecclesiastical families, lr I mistake not, and increase somewhat tbo extensive New York Astor con nection, as the Sloan family are already connected with the Astors by marriage. The young people are both very prominent and very popular and will receive the congratula tions of a host of friends. Won't Be an Usher This Time. Another wedding that is receiving Its due amount of comment is that of Miss Nettie Gregg, daughter of Edwin Gregg, and Mr. Bert Beymer. The latter, it is said, has officiated as usher a: SO weddings, more by a considerable than any other joung man In tho city can boast of. That fact alone attests hli popularity in the social line, and in business be is very mccessf uL Miss Gregg, in her own name is quite wealthy, and a very charming young lady. Still another weadmg that, how ever, will not bo celebrated until early fall, Is that ot Miss Ruby Wickersham, daughter of Colonel Samuel Wickersham, of Superior station, and Civil Engineer Hibbard, of Alle gheny. The young people are well kiiown and their nupitala are a matter of more than usual interest Beauty on the Wheels. To ride cr not to ride a bicycle is a qnestion that, at the pretent time, is agitating the minds of numerous fair ones in the city. Masculine humanity, several seasons ago, decided to ride, and lcetno time in ptocuring the necessary wheels: but the ladies vere not friendly to ward tbo peculiar method of locomotion, and many are still debating the question. The prospects are. however, that a large number of maids and matrons will enter the ranks before Ifie season is much older. Last year a number r prominent East End ladies adopted the ' wneeL and with such success that those who remained negative, to profit by the experience of the pioneers, are contemplating a similar course. Asa consequence wheel establishments are besieged by tLe fair ones and merchants are l'terallj deiuged with questions regarding the relative values and merits of the different wheels. In a case where a decision is reached it is always al:cr days of deliberation and mak ing art! remaking of the mind of tho purchaser. Aad 'hen it is generally a moderate pneed tic cle. as it is always, an experiment with tbe lailj and she doe n't wish to tink much money ill w bat n.ay prove to be anything but a happy investment. lhe alc of gentlemen's wheels in the last tendajshas pimply betn rstounding,een to hose anticipating a large demand. One iioiise aloue sold SO In one day. Little folks are going to ride extensively, girls as uetlaj bojs. Asa rule thev know before cntennga store ju wnat they want, and all about tbe good and bad points of a wheel. One boy in a neighborhood with a wheel is a rr,rular burpu of information and furnishes Jree to the other boys and tbe girls all that tbe dealer knows and more too. Vehicles for the Babies. While tne b.cycle trade is occupying a good deal of family attention just at the present time It Is not moi.opohzmg it by any means, for "baby" must be furnished with a means of transportation as well as the older members of the circle. In some instances a special seat is placed upon tbe pater's wheel for the exclusive use of the loung tyrant, but in most eases a bab carriage is purchased. This sprin" the moat fastntious babr in the land could not fall to be pleased in making a selec tion. There are about 50 uew designs, some of tbem pretty enough to almost tempt a person to invest in one even if minus an occupant for it. One of tbe nioss novel is cart-shaped, of light oak wood, witn a dashing little seat, in which babj cnuid not fall to attract tbe atten tion of all passers-by. bpring teats are something new in tbe baby carriage line, and man of the vehicles this -ea-eon are supplied with tbetn. The sun umbrel las are so arranged that tbey can be turned any waj and ecrj a,and are of tantalizlngly pretty materials, corresponding In color to the upholstering ot the carnage. Judging from sales, the East End bauy. me Southside baby, the Allegheny baby, tbe suburban baby and tbe Pittsburc baby uill all tide tnis M'asou, as 30 household idols were supplied with carnages by one dealer a week ago yesterdaj, and be re ported a correspondingly large sale throughout the week.

Hutchinson, of Post S3, and his estimable wife and familywere treated to a genuine surprise on last Friday evening. Owing to the Illness of a member of tbe family the affair was held at post headquarters. April 26 was the twenty-fifth anniversary of Com rade Hutchinson's wedding day. The post, the ladles' auxiliary and a number of "Hutch's" company and regimental comrades showed their appreciation of his worth and unselfish labor for the post. A larce number of his comrades, together with their wives and friend', assemblou at tbe hall on Friday evening, and when everything was in readiness the Hutchinson family, which had beer, brought to the scene by a clever pUn, entered. Tbey were overwhelmed and puzzled by the welcome they received, the number of friends gathered and the tables spread with good things. All sat down at the festive board, and when quiet was restored Comrade A. J. Pentecost, in a very feeling address, presented to comrade Hutchinson, on behalf of the comrades, a very pretty silver tea set suitably inscribed. Then Commander Scott read a letter from Comradi Frank H. Singer, of Johnstown, in which he regretted bis inability to be present, and delegated the Commander to present on bis behalf to Comrade Hutchinson and wife a very handsome coffee pot. Comrades Singer and Hutchinson were members of the sami company in the service, and were prisoners of war together. Comrade Hntchinson responded in a very touching manner to the speeches. The evening was spent in disposing of there past provided by the ladles, for which they deserve praise, in music and in conversation. Don't Leave tho Home. Summer is now approaching with its usual speed. Too green leaves have unfolded in all their glory, the blossoms have burst forth as though by magic and the air is laden with sweet perfume. Beauteous nature disports herself over the country and outdoors all is gladness and happiness. Nowhere is It more beautifu' than about the Homes provided for the veterans of tbe Re bellion. And yet, as is usual at this period, many an old soldier is desirous of leaving these Homes, where are comfort and plenty, to roam the country. They desert tbe homes prepared for them, probably without a dollar in their pockets. They reach their destination and be come a charge upon their comrades. This Is an injustice and tbe local comrades feel that it must bo corrected. It is a growing evil. Every summer hundreds ot old soldiers who have left tne Homes, appeal to tho local Grand Armr authorities for assistance. Tbe persons aided are a double charge upon their comrades, who have in ruo-t cases incurred expense in sending the applicant to the Homes. Tbe drain on tho resources of the local posts is heavy enough without this unnecessary ex 'pensc. The inmates of tbe Homes should under stand this, and not unnecessarily increase tbe burdens of their comrades at borne. Boys, don't leave tbe comforts and plenty of tbe Homes for the uncertain prospect away from them. Stay at the Hornet The Soldiers' Orphans. The Pennsylvania Commission of Soldiers' Orphan Schools has sent tbe following to the Managers of Soldiers' Orphan Sohools and Homes: "By resolution of the commission tbe school term of this year will close on Tuesday.

The frequency with which col lections of art works of greater or less im portance appear in this city is one of the hopeful signs of the times. It means that the demand for pictures if a healthy one, possessing Btaying qualities. In addition to tbe gradual enriching of Pittsburg's collection of paintings it may fairly be said that tbe al most continuous presence of Important works in Gillespie's gallery dnring the past two or three years bas exerted a decided educational influence. This Is notably true as applied to local art students. Indeed the Influence in this direction-is most Important and can scarcely be over-estimated. It mast be borne In mind that comparatively few of the young people who study art in Pittsburg would bave an opportunity to stndy examples of foreign art but for the presence of these col lections. In the first place few, indeed, enjoy the privilege of visiting New York during the period devoted to education. In the second place, the few who do enjoy this privilege usually crowd into a few davs sufficient sight seeing to consume months. To one who bas not frequently visited the Metropolitan Mu seum a half day spent at that wonderfully in structive institution will prove exceedingly in teresting, but not very Instructive. The time la too short; the collection too long. A half day will prove barely sufficient to glance at tbe works and possibly select a few for special examination. There Is no time for such examination; and even if there is, the brain is tired, the mind confused. Tbe weary visitor leaves the erey buildings with a confused Impression, and it is donbttul if even a single picture has been ex amined so critically and deliberately as to make a lasting impression upon the mind. It will thus be seen that even cf the comparatively few who occasionally visit New Vork a remark ably small number visit under circumstances favorable to real study. Treasures at the Artists' Doors, To these few, and certainly to tbe overwhelm ing majority of Pittsburg art students, come tbe dealers' collections, with tbelr great variety of subject and treatment, as a brilliant revela tion. They are privileged to examine and re examine these works under the most favorable circumstances and without trouble or expense at their very door. It is like taking the wa'ter to the house. That this privilege bas been ap preciated and enjoyed no one who has seen tbe Interested groups of students study ing, day after day in the most deliberate and careful manner, tbe various important pictures seen here will doubt. Even the fact that a comparatively limited number of works have been exhibited at one time has been favorable to this kind of study. A greater variety of schools of art, a larger range of tecbnloal qual ities and more diversified subjects bave been offered our pupils, and they bave been the gainers, even admitting the recognized strength of many of the works with which they bad be come familiar at borne. Not only have art pupils enjoyed the benefit arising from these exhibitions, but art lovers generally bave prof ited by tbe stimulating influence exerted. The present collection possesses some canvasses worthy of special examination. Tbe most notable among these probably, and tbe most important In tbe collection, is the large vork by De Neuville. It is especially in teresting to art students, because it is said to be a canvas unfinished at tbe time of tbe artist's deatb. There is a certain vigor about a picture when It is almost finished that is fre quently lost, or at least weakened in tbe process ot completing the details. This 13 aot always true, but may be stated as a fact of fre quent occurrence. Indeed the expression of action, especially the power ot movement of a figure. Is secured by an artist who is master of drawing In a manner so rapid, so:irapetuous, as to preclude tbe possibility of attention to minor details. It is for tbis very reason that a first sketch from nature usually gives the artist more pleasure than the work representing greater labor and time. A Description of the Picture. Tbe De Neuville picture seems to possess this quality. It is a large canvas, representing an incident in tbe German-Franco war. The bearers of the flag ot truce and also the bearers of official papers are being brought into tbe Frenoh headquarters. The German soldiers are blindfolded and led by youthful soldiers ot the French guard. Tbey stride forward with out knowing whither they go, but with a fear less tread, bora of the consciousness that under the white flag they are safe, although in the bands of tho enemv. On the right a fierce woman with a child in her arms is thrusting berself forward in a manner expressive of hatred of tbe German envoy. From the door ways and windows the beads of the towns people protrude with interest or hatred ex pressed in every countenance. The entire scone is spirited and especially strong in the expression of movement. In size this work is almost. If not quite, as important as tbe one In tbe Vanderbilt eallery entitled "Le Bourget." "Le Bourget" Is car ried farther, however, tbe smallest detail being carefully painted. The Vanderbilt picture is well known through leproductlons, and repre sents the removal of a French General from the village church in whioh he bad heroically defended himself. So bravely did tbe officer and bis remnant of a company defend them selves that it became necessary to fire musket ry through the windows and bring up cannon before tbe remnant of this heroic band would surrender. As tbe brave soldier is carried out on a chair the German victors stand, many of them uncovered, in recognition of the heroism with which they had been withstood. The op portunity to study a w ork by this master should not be lost. The Summer Sketching Tours. Tbe delightful weather of the past week caused tbe artistic mind to turn mountainward and seaward. It will be some months before tne studios and art schools are closed for tbe summer, but plans are being freely discussed at this time. In tbis connection it may not be amiss to mention the Schenley Park as an ex cellent sketching field for those who find it imnossible to get away from the city for the enure season. Tbere is a variety of natural scenery In tbe park which adapts this conven ient place to the taste of almost any artist and it can be reached from any part of the city in a reasonable time. Panther Hollow offers subjects for those who enjoy the brookside character of beauty and the hilltops and roadways present beautiful stretches of landscapes. Even typical farm scenes may be found, and indeed there is scarcely a subject common to Western Pennsylvania that cannot be found in tbe much talked-of park. It is probable that timid sketchers would bear some odd remarks from park visitors, directed to their efforts, but tbe sooner tbey get nsed to tbis kind of thing the better. They don't affect the quality of the work dona one way or an other, providing you are sufficiently interested in your work to become "obvious," as Mrs. Partington would say, to your surroundings. tur artist should at least give the park a fair trial. Local Art Gossip. Wall is in New York on busl- MR.A. S. ness. John W. Alexander wis recently elected president of the Fellow-craft Club of New York. The current number of the IUvttratcd Amer foan contains an excollent article devoted to Vasill Verestchagin and his works, Mb. M. de Lipman exhibits this week a clever interior, which shows much conscientious work. It represents the corner of a studio, in which stands a well-painted figure. The National Academy exhibition tbis sea son is spoken of as a collection of unusual merit. Five hundred and twenty-three pic tures were accepted by tbe jury of s-Iectlon nut of about 1,400 works submitted. Of these 447 were painted by men and 76 by women. Mb. Geobge Hetzel exhibits a game piece atBod's this week, a pair ot ducks, beautl fully rendered. Mr. Hetzel occasionally; by way of relaxation, devotes a brief time to tbe produc Ion of a fruit or game picture, and when be does so the result is always admirable. Mb. Joseph B. Wood-well exhibits at Boyd's tbis week a canvas entitled "Norman's rWoa," which Is remarkably strong In tbe ren- 1 .aerlogof sea and rock. There is a robust vigor about Mr. Woodwell's pictures which is charm ing and impresses tbe bebolder with tbe weight and solidity of the earth and the profundity of the sea. Together with thisquality is that of a wealth of harmonious color which bears testi mony to a nice judgment, ripened by years of study and observation of nature in her most oharmlng moods. He bas painted this picture with even more thin the usual force, and the result is a very plucky work. GOSSIP OF THE GUARD. Ensign Joseph Rohrbacker, of the United States Navy, is spending a two weeks' leave of absence with his father, Prof. Rohr backer, of Sewlcklcy. Major A. J. Loo n inspected Company F of tbe Fourteenth Regiment last Tuesday even ing. Forty-seven men and three officers were present and passed a favorable examination. Lieutenant W. S. Brown, of the Four teenth Regiment, bas gone to tbe mountains for a few days vacation from business cares. Mr. Brown bas been HI for some time and in tends to try and fish back some of his lost weight. Major Frank Patterson returned from a trip East last Wednesday morning, and the same evening inspected Company C, of the Fourteenth Regiment, at Oakdale, and Com- Sany K at Mansfield. The former command ad 42 men in line, and the latter bad 31 The regular annual inspection of Battery B will take place to-morrow evening at tbe armory in the Fifth Avenue Market House Major Patterson will conduct tbe ceremony, and it is expected quite a large audience will be present. Captain Hunt has decided not to issue invitations to the affair as heretofore. THE weight now carried by the United States soldier or guardsman, fully equipped for the field with three days' rations, is 64 pounds. In France it is 64, Ru-sia 63, England 62, Italy 61, Austria 5e, and m Germany with the new equipment 2. In the field our regula tions allow a brigadier general 700 ponnds, field officers 600, captains 2uo and subalterns ISO pounds ot baggage. Rock Point, the neighboring pleasure ground. Is being considered most favorably by General Wiley as the spot for tbe coming en campment of the Second Brigade. It will give the boys the benefit of a beautiful place to spend a week or ten days, and bas the advan tage of being close enough to tbe city to give tbe friends of the guard a chance to see the soldiers in camp life. It has been practically settled, however, that wherever tbe camping ground may be. It must be within an hoar or two's ride from Pittsburg. Major Samuel Hazlet. Brigade Inspector of Rifle Practice, was in the city yesterday, re turning from a week's absence In New York City. Tbe Major has not as yet received any information as to tbe date for the opening-of the coming season of target practice, although be has written the General Inspector several times on the subject. May 1 is tbe usual time for commenciog the work, and the lack of any orders on the subject at this late day is con sidered peculiar. Tbe general impression seems to be tbat owing to the lack of funds generally In the national Guard this year, but little at tention will be given tbe shooting department, and it Is probable tbat no regular allowance per company for target practice will be made tbis season. Tbe allowance of $50 per company for last year's work has not yet been paid. The State Legislature last week passed tbe bill of Captain Nesblt, of the Fourteenth Regi ment providing for tbe wholesale appointment of brevet first lientenants from colleges. Cap tain Nesblt has been connected with the Na tional Gnard for nearly 20 years and many of his friends think it strange that he shonld push a bill providing for the manufacture of an al most unlimited number of officers who are of no service whatever to the active guard, and whose appearance at encampments undoubt edly bas a bad Influence on men who are work ing tbelr way up from the ranks. The Penn sylvania Guard is slowly recovering from tbe effects of tbe top-heavy organization which ex isted 10 or 12 years ago, and any new attempt to create a number of useless officers shonld be cried down. It Is to be boned that Governor Pattison will receive the bill unfavorably when it reaches him. Adjutant General WilLtak McClel land has been spending the greater portion of the past week In this city, so as to be as near as possible to tbe scene of the coke troubles. Tbe admirable work of Companies C and E, of the Tenth Regiment at Dnlontown and Mt. Pleas ant has called forth the greatest praise from General McClelland, who says the people of the State shouldbe proud of their citizen-soldiers. The troubles in tbe coke regions during tbe past week have probably not had an equal in any portion of the country in many years. The phase presented is that ot the law com ing in contact with an infuriated class of women, whose ignorance, in some instances, places them on a scale but slightly removed from the animal state. Tbe work of eviction which has been carried on for tho past few days, while undoubtedly a necessity, is looked on by General McClelland as a most undesira ble duty, and as tbe presence of the National Guard is for protection purposes only, his in structions are that under no circumstances are the members to assist in the evictions.

At this season of the year, when money is becoming abundant, desirable invest ments usually advance in price, and at times are difficult to get. Street railway siocks ana oonas are deservedly lavorite in vestments, especially of bonds issued to im prove roadbed and equipment The earn ing power of such roads has been shown by years of previous operation, and the increase consequent upon more rapid transit no longer admits of doubt. The completed rapid transit lines have shown most satis factory results, as, for example, the "Citi zens," "Pleasant Valley;" or compare the "Pittsburg" with 'its predecessor, or the "Central" with its tiresome slow horse cars, making riding even painful. The Manchester line, thoneh one of the first street railways of the "Twin Cities," has pursued its conservative management and allowed other lines to experiment with and develop the best of the different kinds oi motors. But some months ago this com pany determined to substitute electricity for horses, and the work of reconstructing their lines has now been under wav for some time and the electric cars are expected to be run ning in June. The proceeds of the bonds issued for these betterments and chances are placed with the trustee of the mortgage and paid out by it only on the engineer's certificate of work actually done or material furnished, thus guaranteeing to the bond holder that his money goes into the property pledged for his bond's security. The road bed is said to be the most substantial in this country. A large amount of these bonds have been sold to careful home investors, but" none have been offered on Eastern markets. The net income of the main line and its various branches is already sufficient to meet its fixed charges without any inerease from rapid transit 450 HBAYX TWO-PLY CAB PET AT S9o.

A TBEATY MISTJNDERSTAHD1HG. Indians Think They Are Entitled to Casbfor Their Ceded Lands. Sac and Fox Agency, April 25. Special Agent Robinson arrived at the Iowa village yesterday and announced himself to Blind Chief as ready to proceed with his work of allotting lands in severalty to the Iowa tribes of Indians. Against this the Indians demur, saying tbat they have not means of subsistence, no money and no credit, and they desire the Government to pay them their money for their lands before tbey will proceed to take their allotimenta. The treaty provides that they shall be paid in live stock and agricultural imple ments. This, the Iowas state, was not the agreement as they understood it Kirwin Murray, their interpreter, says tbat he un derstood they were to get their pay in cash, and so explained it to his people when they were treating with the commissioners, and that they never would make any other kind of agreement with the Government The agent, in his dilemma, has sent for Indian Agent Patrick, and it is honed that between them they can come to an amicable settle ment with the Indians and aUow the allot ments to proceed. BCKNES OP COWARDICE. The Capsizing of a Boat Causes a Most Dis graceful Scene. 8t. John, N. B., April 25. At low tide the water in St John harbor runs out like a mill-race, and just at Seed's Point pier, where the steamer Dominion lies, are the swiftest eddies. A boatload of men and girls upset at this place at 3 o'clock this morning and two were drowned, the others being rescued with great difficulty. The young people had been attending a dance in Carleton. The gnnwale of their boat struck the bow of the steamer and m a moment cap sized. Lines were thrown from the steamer, and the most terrible confusion ensued. The men foughtamong themselves for the ropes, and while the girls were clinging to the stern and oalling for help, a couple of these stalwart cowards fastened the lines to them selves and were hoisted up. Two of the girls Ethel Allen and Nell MoAlister were drowned. It was 15 minutes before the others were rescued, and some of them were badly bruised. t La Grippe. Are you exposed to contagion?
