X " m- 12 M - Surpriso parties, as a rule, are not the roost charming affaire in the world, though news paper reports are generally prolific with ad jectives giving that impression. One bright little woman, has even gone so far as to say that in her opinion tho giving of a surprise party should he a penitentiary offense, though it must he said those who get tbo surprko are generally verv philosophical, and take the surprisee as in marriage "ha sickness or in health, for better or for w orte." However, pleasant or unpleasant, enjoya ble or disagreeable, tho past week has been one grand composite surprise party, consist ing of any number of component surprises that have been the basis for no end of ani mated comment. In the first placo it was surprising to hear so much unfavorable crit icism regarding the May Festival, and to know that the great- financial deficit was attributed to bad management, when in quiry substantiated the fact that it was due to a wonderful streak of economy that sud denly affected some of the wcalthior citi zens of the city, who became friendly and occupied boxes jointly. A Woman's Bights Surprise. The lecture delivered by Kcv. Charles Ed ward Locke the first of tho week was refresh ing in surprise.as ministers of the gospel are generally conservative on t.e question of women and the ballot, and are diffident about indorsing and encouraging women in their pursuit of the ballot, and the majority. If not the entire, uudieneo which assembled to hear the gentleman's discourse expected him to advise women to increase their influ ence and right their wrongs by prayer. Instead of that, tho speaker advocated stronglvthe right of franchise for the fair sex and predicted a much better state of affairs, pollticallv and morally, when they obtained it. Mr. Locke will discover event ually, if he is not already aware of the facts, that his lecture as a pleasing surpriso to nil progressive "n omen in the city and all liberal minded men who are not afraid of the brains of women; and, that by this lec ture he greatly increased tho popularity he previously enjojed with thinking, active people. The Art Societv was treated to a little sur prise at its reception Thursday evening, w hen it expected to have possession of its charter and assume the dignity of a char tered organization, but receiv ed the infor mation that the document had been refused bythecouit. Such a turn had never been deemed possible by that worthy august bodv, with niineof such great altitude, and I the shock was therefore the greater. How ever, tho charter was refused bimply on points so fine that a judicial microscope mnst have been used in discovering them, and bv the aid of-trong magnifying glasses they will be rectified and the charter once more appear in the courts as a suppliant. The Danghters of tho Devolution. The organization of the "Daughters of the American Revolution" has played a promiicnt part in this week of surprises. It certainly was surprising to hear the or ganization condemned quite bitterly by peo ple who pride themselves on being leaders of the social world in this city: and to hear them affirm that it never could be a success. It was Mirpnsing also that everyone does not know that the very blio blood of the country flows in the veins of the descendants of the revolutionary heroes, surprising to ascertain that descendants of ?o many of the Revolutionary officers are re siding in 1'ittoburg, and that 29 officers were represented by their descendants m the first meeting callc"d bj- Mrs. Xathaniel 15. Hogg, Regent of the no w socictj .JAll in all.it is sur prising that every one does not indorse the organization of a society having lineage in stead of shekels as a basis. But the greatest of all, however, in this w eek of numerous surprises was tho fact that at the mass meeting called Friday evening in the interest of the establishment of a Young Women's Christian Association in the city, one minister only was present, though every minister trom his pulpit last Sunday announced the meeting, the place and the evening of holdiug it. The subject of estab lishing tho society has been a matter of arftation among religions workers for a fortnight past, principally among women. The society is needed, formed and main tained, so it is affirmed, for exactly the same reasons and on exactly the same terms as is the Young Men's Christian Association. It is purely evangelical and an auxilliary to church work. Were it otherwise, it w ould be safe to say its foundation here would en croach upon the prerogath es of a very old organization, known ns the Woman's Christian Association, that engages all ac tive working philanthropists in its vast field of charitable woik. As it is, however, a second organization in the East End en gaged in the same work and bearing the ex act name the new society proposes. taking, objects streuously to the nrsupation. Probable Calls for Cash. The gentlemen do not seem to favor the movement much, and why the clergymen refrain from giving it tangible encourage ment, when it wouldlightenmaterially their labors and assist them so greatly, is not known. Tho husbands and brothers remain negative probably because- they realize that it is their pocketbooks that will bo called upon to supply the deficiency left by the prayers of their wives and sisters, as sad to relate most of the wives and sisters have nothing of their own to offer such an enter prise but prayers, even though their flnuers may be covered with costlv gems and their flgure3 robed in laces and fine silks. And strange to say, most women in asking the custodian of the family exchequer for a check of $50 do so with more embarrassment, humility and rever ance than they feclIn petitioning heaven to grant the most extravagant requests. It is to be hoped that if the society is established here, in the great and glorious evangelical work that it proposes doing, it will discour age emphatically the button-holing, lobbyist manner with which the highest power is so frequently promised glory if he will only grant requests, and teach in its stead a proper reei en tlal form of prayer. In cae tho organization is effected, as in dications seem to point, it will without doubt soon become a commendable and in teresting feature of this city's organized work, and if such a gentleman as Mr. IL Kirk Porter, who has used his influence so wisely and his money so generously in pro moting the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, should bocomc interested in it, a finan cial basig would soon be assured. They Got the Encouragement. Mr. Porter, by the way, was tho only prom inent gentlemen besides Rev. Dr. Suther land present at tho mass meeting, and he was called upon by the Chairman to make an address after the speaker of the evening, Miss Dunn, an International Secretary of Chicago, had finished. His remarks, how ever, were decidedly of the subjunctive and potential mood, though very graceful and pieasinciy given, xueyuia noi inorougniy meet tho approbation of tho interested ladies, and whether with or without intent the Chairman, in requesting Dr. Sutherland to give a talk, asked him to speak some "words of encouragement" for tho project. Tho modified request was unnecessary, as Dr. Sutherland, though admitting his ignor ance of the subject, nntil ho arrived nt the church, with his usual skill In solving prob lems with unknown religious quantities, had attained in this one an affirmative result, and did not hesitate to so cxiucss himself. Clearly and emphatically the words of en couragement the Chairman had requested fell from his lips ia eloquent, convincing language, and then and there, amid a burst of applause, he announced himself an advo cate of a Young Woman's Christian Associa tion of Pittsburg.

The Season Will Open Earlier Than Usual The Harrisons Coining. tSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Cam: Mat, May 23. Although early In the season this anoientjmd renowned resort Is already preparing for an opening which will take place a month earlier than usual. In years heretofore the large hotels, such as Congress Hall and the Stockton have not opened until about the 2Sth and 30th of June, but this season all the houses will be open on the 6th of June, and thus make the season that much longer and much more profitable. The reason for the early opening Is the assembling of two very large conventions hero on the- 9th and 16th of June, each one lasting about a week. The Master Car Builders' Association of the United States will assemble on the 9th at the Stock ton Hotel, and in the week following the Master Railroad Mechanics will hold their convention. It is expected that from 8.000 to J2.000 persons will be here, including the delegates and their wives and sweethearts. The rumor of the first of tho week that the Presldental cottage had been sold was promptly denied to an Associated Press re porter at the White House by Mrs. Harrison, and in her -denial she also stated that the fair.Uy would probably start for tho Capo and occupy the cottage about the first week in June. The cottage is being put in thorough order, and heaters havo been added t it for the use of the family, should they want to occupy tho summer villa In the cool seasons of the late spring or early fall. The steward of the White nouse is expected dally to make the final preparations for the coming of tho family. During the winter great improvements have been made in tho hotels In tho way of additions and renovations. A largo number of cottage? have been erected, as well as pretty pavilions on the beach strand for the use ot excursionists and other visitors. Tho citizens will vote next Tuesday o"n the ques tion of allowing tho bonded IndebtnesS of the city to bo increased $50,000 more in order that the monev may bo expended on im provements. There is great diversity of opinion. As yet but one or two cottages have been rented to Pittsburgers, but several suites of rooms havo been engaged for tho summer at leading hotels by prominent citizens of Pittsburg.-A contract, has been signed by tho Philadelphia and Seashoro Rail road with Messrs. Hobard & Co.j of New York, to com plete the road'to Capo May by July 1, and 600 men are reported to be- working on tho road now. The roadbed is graded and the ties distributed, and a vast majority of them laid to within three miles Of tho city. The management has been suffering from litiga tion for over a year, which has retarded the completion of the road. It will be fedby the Beading s vstem. The Pennsylvania system, nowover, gives tne cape exceiiens service. Personal Small Talk. Mrs. David Lauber, who has "been In New York City for some weeks in the Interest of art, returned home Friday evening. Master Harold B. H. Frederick, of New York, cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Phil T. Weis, arrived in tho city Monday to pay) them a visit. Mr. Georgo A Kim's frequent visits to the South havo hud 11 significance: During the month of roses ho brings a Memphis belle homo 11s a bride. A trio of objects, health, pleasure a,nd busi ness, will take Miss Joucs, of the linn of Par cells & Jones; to Europe next month, where she will spend the summer. Mr, Joseph A.

Thomas Curran. of Arch street, and Mr. James Watson, of East street, Allegheny, will leave next Tuesday evening on a three months' pleasure trip to Europe. Their in tention is to go first to Ireland and from there to London, Borne and some of the principal cities of the Continent. Miss Delila Davis, of Columbus, Neb., has been visiting relatives in Pittsburg, Brad dock and other sections of the county for the past month. She has been in the East for the last eight months, vjsiting Philadel phia, Washington and other prominent East ern cities, and will depart this week for Day ton, O., and after a visit there will meet her parents in Chicago, from where she will go home. GOSSIP OP THE eUABD. CHArLAix WooD.of theSlxteenthBegiment, has tendered his resignation to Colonel Hullngg. Tins First Brigade camp this year will be known as Camp W T. Sherman, and -win bo located near Norristown, Pa. Captaiw SnAKSoir, of the Washington In fantry has decided to have his company go Into camp some time In August. No selec tion of ground has yet been made. ISSPECTOB Or RlTLE PRACTICE PaTTERSOIT, Of Tlattery B, Is in Washington, D, a, on a two weeks' sojourn. Several members of the Battery have already qualified for this year. Cattaii? Hahmoit A. Pebkihs, of the Gov ernor's troop at Harrisburg has tendered his resignation. There has been quite a jangle in the troop for some timo past, but things are expected to be straightened out shortly. Dpjukg the past week Captain Hunt, of the Battery, sent a very neat letter of congrat ulations to "the Committeo of Arrangements for tho anniversary of "Battery B," of the .First Pennsylvania Reserves, at Mt. Jack son, Pa. FIRST LlEUTEITAHT GEOKOE SHEPBEBD, Of Battery B,tenderedhls resignationto Captain Hunt last week. Mr. Shepherd" has been Senior First Lieutenant of the battery since its organization, and during that time has made many friends in tho guard. The officers of the Fourteenth Beglment have decid&i to fit np a room In Old City Hall for.headqnarters purposes. No expense will be spared to make It both cheerful and Inviting. The regiment lias been in need of such a meeting place for a long time. To-dav committees from the Washington Infantry will visit the various cemeteries and deeorato the graves of deceased mem bers of the command. Tho company, under command of Captain Shannon, will turn out with Post 157 at the Oakland Cemetery on Decoration Day. A meetiho of the company commandants of tho Eighteenth Regiment will be held to morrow evening at 8:30, in the regimental headquarters. The meeting will ben most important one, as the policy of the different companies on the subject of rifle practice will be settled. Every company commander should be present. The Eighteenth Beglment loses one of Its most efficient officers by the resignation of Lieutenant Horace Lowry, of Company E. Mr. Lowrv flnallv decided to leave the reei- ment last week, and has sent his resignation to Colonel Smith. The condition of Com pany E for the past year has not been all that might be desired, and as a consecjuenco other changes may be expected. Last Friday was the seventh anniversary of tho organization of Battery B, the Im portant event having taken place on May 22, 1884. The members of tho battery are vde Hghtcd at the prospect of going into camp with tho rest of the brigade in July, and not being compelled to repeat their experience at Mt. Gretna two years ago. They have had an elegant sufficiency of that style of doing business. Captain Hunt has received fresh assurances that his command will be sup plied with guns shortly, but as the tale has grown very old with him, he will not he satisfied nntil he sees them safely stowed in tho battery's armory. CAPTArs Cham.es Holmes, of Company B, Eighteenth Regiment, sent his resignation to Colonel Smith last week by request. Mr. Holmes is now in Chicago, where he will probably bo permanently located. He has been in command of Company B for tho past 18 months, andprevious to that time, held tho position of Sergeant Major pf the regi ment. It is safe to say his connection with military life- was somewhat of the farcical order, and had it not been for his two sub ordinates his company would havo been dis banded long ago. The National Guard in Pennsylvania is making active strides toward perfection, nnd has no timeto waste with commissioned officers, who cannot be found in their proper places at least once in two years. ' ' The unveiling of the Hartranft Monument takes place at Norristown on Juno 6. It is understood that tho entire First Brigade win be present at the ceremony, in addition to representative regiments of the Second and Third Brigades. Just what regiment from this end of the State will go is hard to say, although the offer will probably be made to Colonel Hawkins, of the Tenth Keglmont, he being the senior Colonel. On account of the scattered condition of this organization, the chances are that one of the Pittsburg regiments may havo tho op- gortunity to tako the trip, the chances being 1 favor of the Eighteenth, Colonel Smith being the ranking officer here. It Is scarcely thought a provisional regiment will be called for, on account of tho difficulties of handling such organiza tions. It is expected fully 2,000 soldiers in all will be present, in addition to representa tives of many other organizations. Cohtrary to expectation, General Wylie has decided that tho Second Brigade shall go into camp this year at Arnold station, on the Allegheny Valley Rallroad,about 18 miles above the city. The selection narrowed down to one of two sites, the other being at Ellwood, about 40 miles from the city, and a SDlendidlv located cronnd. While no doubt Arnold station is a very pretty place for a camping ground, a number of strong objections are urged by many officers who havo been on the ground. The first is the remarkable nearness to tho city will cause tho camp to be overrun with visitors, many of whom will be of an objectionable char acter. Tho second objection, and probably the most forcible one, is that the Methodist camp meeting grounds are located but half a mile away, and unless remarkably fine dis cipline is exercised in tho brigade, unpleas ant developments may result. Mnjor Logan, the Brigade Quartermaster, will shortly take a number of the regimental quarter masters np to tho grounds and locate tho lines for the camp. Three companies of the.
