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. KJ.tiii.eem Husset Watson.

Another Surprise In Post 88.
Comrade J. R. 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

Another collection or paintings was ex
hibited at Gillespie's gallery during the
past week. 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.

with even more thin the usual force, and the
result is a very plucky work.

THE weight now carried by the United

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.

To Careful Investors.
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

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.

The Capsizing of a Boat Causes a Most Dis

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.
