m ' "i" 'wppwiHii Efc - TT "'' - --MHS m 12 ' THE ' PITTSBtrRQ; DISPATCH, I ?l Surely the times are out of joint. The labor troubles are affecting business, and the weather, society circles. Itis no longer con sidered stupid to converse about the w eather.ior really it is so startlingly original and eccentric that it outweighs any other subject. It has been responsible for so many changed plans that to isnoro it in con versation is impossible. It, together with labor agitation, bank failures, "honest" bank cashiers and city officials, has suc ceeded in turning affairs quite topsy-turvy. Instead of basking in the -warm rays of old Sol and the warmer smiles of congenial companions at the sea-shore, as Pittsburgers are wont to at this season of the year, or roaming about in the mountains, or enjoying the lakes, thev are, with few exception, wearing camelshair underwear, winter clothes and top coats m the gas-heated atmosphere of their own homes. It is true that some have defied the chilliness and Invited neuralgia and rheumatism by taking posses sion or the lakeside cottages and encounter ing the waves in a hand to hand struggle for supremacy at the seaside, but the majority are staving at home and wearing out their old clothe the latter, much to the disgust of themodists and tailors, who complain bitterly of their dull business. Business People Are Complaining. Theformer say the prolonged coldhascut them out of one-half of their summer trade, and the latter ditto, with emphasis. The merchants, too, aro very much dissatisfied for their sales have been low. Even the railroads have been very much later than usual in making their induce ments for summer travel. The customary Ma v excursions down the river, up the river, to Ohio Tyle and other similar resorts have beenronspicuous this vear for their absence, and the verv word picnic is accompanied with a chill, cold pickles in a cold breeze on the cold grass not being the most desirable combination in the world. In many instances annual picnicking and lawn fete days have been postponed several weeks. The Woman's Club, that for yurs lias enjoyed June roses and balmy breezes on the beautiTul lawn of its President, Mrs. C J. Wade, at Edgewood, tho first Tues day in tho month, has wisely postponed its annual outing until the last Tuesday. The saccharine girl graduates are frowning their pretty brows into the deepet kind of WTinties, wonuenng wueuier it is sjnc iu have the new gown cut sleeveless and neck- less. Decoration Day IVas Natural. In Tact everything and all precedents are rather upet and the only really natural feature about Decoration Day was the rain. The gowns of pink and bine cambric that usually decorate both sides of the streets, either remained at home or shrouded their beauty and starchiness in heavy cloaks; the babies and the luncheon baskets were few and far between, and tho large familv and small boy were not half nb promiscuous as in former years. The ram, probably, as is Its habit, kept many a youthful lawyer from making himself immortal in the eves Of tho countrv people by original words of eloquence, or . plagiarisms irom ine iiimuus uecoruiion speech of Ilenrv Clay Dean, tho Fayette county genius. Ito w many speeches of burn ing patriotism remained unsaid yesterday on account of tho rain will never be esti mated hor will be known how many eulogies of tho bra e and loyal men that died to save the countrv which persists in throwinga wet blnket oil the memorial day, remained safely lodged in the inside pockets of am bitious voung aspirants for oratorical fame. Society proper is in a state of betwixt and between, and as a consequence is not doing so verv much. A number are making ready to go to Loudon for the season, which com mences about the middlo of June and con tinues a month. Mustn't Mind the Expenses. That Is considered quite the proper thing to do by social leaders, who, though not par ticipating in the dizziness across the ocean, gain by observation many valuable pointers for home consumption in tho future. It costs a trifle to indulge in London gareties even of the negative nature, for in older to see well the lords and ladies of British nobility one must occupy a dot at the opera nnd Urn e In Hyde Park, with foot man and other swell attributes to the equip age; attend tho regatta at Cowes; visit Ilrighton and do a great many very expen sh e things, but the cost must not bo counted in a matter of such superior social educa tion. Everyone in the city is planning for some sort of a trip, but to bo taken three or four weeks later than other years. In the mean time the event that is occupying the atten tion of a number of social and musi cal people is the supplementary con ceit of the May festival, to be given Friday evening, June 12. On that evening local musical talent will mute in an earnest effort to supply the large financial deficit left by the abundance of foreign talent enjoyed during the late musical week: but the patronesses who are conducting this sequel declare it is neither a complimentary nor a. testimonial concert; it is simplj a "supplementary." Use of the Duquesno Free. It will be given at the Duquesne Theater, which Manager Henderson has kindly loaned for the occasion without the usual bill at tachment, Mr. Henderson has been present at the meetings held in the interest of the event in name only, and it is well 3or his complexion that such has been the cae, otherwise he wouldbo in possession of perpetual blushes providing of course, tho ladies liad been as extravagant In the use of adulatory adjectives and complimentary phrases concerning him and his generosity in hi" presence as they were in his absence. Mr. MeCullough, the local manager, has also been the lecipient of considerable social fame as he ha postponed a Chicago trip that he might personally superintend the oiling of the Duquesno machinery on that particu lar night.

The English people have been given open-air plays for some years past, and Boston last season followed the example. Jieally it is something to look forward to with interest.

The chapel was beautltully decorated with cut flowers and tropical plants and the young ladies ap peared in tho most fascinating gowns. Their numbers on the programme were Of a bewitching order, and the gentlemen had a difficult task when they endeavored to equal or excel the good impression made by the fair ones. However, the rivalry was a good natured one, and. thoroughly enjoyed by both the participants in the exercises and the listeners. A large number or Pittsburg ers attended the performances, and are loud in their praises or the society nnd the talent of which it is composed.

Closed HAfthr WILLIAMS' ACADE31T , Closed The ubovo are the theatrical attractions for this week. . The'seasonof 1S90-91 is practically at an end, although the theaters mentioned above remain open. It has been a profitable season on tho Whole fof Pittsburg managers nnd the combinations that have playedhere, and the public has certainly had a larger share of the better attractions than ever before, thanks mainly to the BHflrper com petition engendered by tho opening of tho Duquesne Theater. It is true that there is still room for improvement, bat the coming season promises to bring a great many more of tho desirable plays and play ers to this Olty, seeing that the new Davis Theater is to open its doors and offer, ac cording to its proprietor's promises, nono but flrst-class attractions. The lists of en Easements nt tho other houses, already pub lished, Justify the belief that tho season of 1891-93 will be the most brilliant Pittsbnrg theater-goers have ever seen. Tho interest ing problem is whether Pittsburg can nnd will support all its theaters. The public has tho satisfaction of knowing that in the solu tion of this problem they are certain to bo benefited, as the managers are bound to try wieu jory uuiuest 10 retain patronage Dy or feting the best attractions they can get and catering generally to the comfort, pleasure and Bafety of theater-goers. There do not appear to be any great num ber of new stars rising above the theatrical horizon, and unhappily the greatest of all, Edwin Booth, seems to have set, although a hope is harbored in some quarters that after a period of repose, America's chief actor will consent to reappear, Tho death Of Law rence Barrett was indeed a tremendous cal amity if it involved Booth's retirement, and anyhow the removal Of such an Intelligent actor and manager, gifted with so high and catholio a taste, will be felt more severely as time rolls On. The place of Mary Ander son, whom Hymen has evidently taken for keeps, has not (been filled yet, although Julia Marlowe and Miss Gale in a manner aspire to it. The latter gives great promise ahd is still young: and Miss Marlowe, Whom Pittsburg, for some occult reason has never seen, is undoubtedly an actress of high powersandrare artistic temperament. In the legitimate drama Pittsburg will see most of the old favorites noxt season. There is talk of Bernhardt's coming here.and E.8.Willard, the English actor who made such a deep im pression in other cities, is booked at one of the local theaters. The Kendals are also certainties, which U good to know. . Tho grand opera companies will be fewer than over, probably, and at this time Minnie Hauck's is the only ono announced, unless wo count upon the shadowy Mr. Locke and his Emma Juch organization, which it IS said will be on deck again next season, Ben Stern told m recently that his cliiof.MarcuSj, Mayer had nearly completed arrangements" for Pattl for an American tour, and if she comes to this country she will certainly sing in Pittsburg. Of light opera and all the veri ties of comio opera and burlesque we shall have our fill. The-Bostonlans with "Robin Hood" and possibly a. new coinio opera by the same authors ought to head the list. Francis Wilson with "Tho Merry Monarch'! and possibly as a new pice.DeWolf Hopper with "Wang," which New York says is very funny The McCaull Company, with Digby Bell and a good cast In "The Tar and the- Tartar," which was decidedly amusing and melodi ous when I saw it on its first performance in Chicago this spring and will have doubtless improved by age: The Aronson Casino Com pany in "Apollo," tho new comic opera of which reports conflict; Agnes Huntington in "Paul Jones" and a new opera comique these are the best Of tho lot promised, but by no means all. V From the present outlook the number of freaks I do not allude to the legitimate freaks of the museums on the stage next season will not be so numerous as they have been of late. Tho boss freak will be Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, who isto bo starred in "Tho Hammertons," a play built for hor on the lines of her own Hie. Her manager, C. B. Gardiner, of course says that "Mrs." Hamilton possesses unquestionable his trionic, ability, and the painful part of the prospectus Is that Manager Gardiner con templates a starring tour in Pennsylvania. It is to be hoped that Pittsburg will escape the infliction. V Mrs. Langtry has apparently abandoned her contemplated American tour, but there are signs already that Mrs. James Brown Potter is on her way home to recommence hostilities, aided and abetted by Kyrle Bel low. Far moro pleasant news is that Alex ander Salvini is to appear here in neglected, but not forgotten, plays of tho romantic scuooi, one 01 wnicn, -uon oesar ue uazan," ho is now performing with gi eat success in Boston. Anew star of another sort, from whom we may expect a visit, is Fanny Rice, who is to travel In a new farce comedy from the French called "A Jolly Surprise," In which she will sing and dance with some other olever people. Marie Wainwright, as already told in these columns, has resolved to revive with great spectacular mount ing "Amy Robsart," and she will receive a warm welcome here, forthepubllo will not bo likely to forget for a good while how handsomely she cast and staged "Twelfth Night." Mario Wainwright Is fortunate, in having the brains and good taste ot Julian Magnus behind her management. Rose Coghlan is preparing lor a most elab orate and Important production next sea son, having secured a new play entitled "Dorothy's Dilemma," by Leopold Jordan. The author freely acknowledges that ono of tho situations in his play Is from a foreign source, but every bit of dialogue and tho plot aro absolutely original. -Miss Coghlan considers the play one of the best she has yet read, and lor the next three years will play nothing else but "Dorothy's Dilemma," which she has secured for America, England and Australia. . Modjeska is to appear next season in a modern American play called "The Tragic Mask." 8he has four ncvi.pleccs for her repertoire. "Tho Roses of Tyburn," a Ger man historical play, is ono of them. A new version of "Mario Antoinette" will also be acted by her. Rosina Vokes will appear here next season with the same admirable com pany and in a repertoire of the same charao -ter as in former years, and it is to be hoped that Pittsburg will give moro encourage meet to thisdelightfulartistandhcrtalented confreres, Felix Morris, Courtney Thorpe nnd the rest. They stand for the bo t ele ment of the stage, and the most refined, and at the same most entertaining typo of comedy. For some reason or other they have not met with the success they deserve here, but next season, doubtless, they will get their deserts. V Other novelties next season in the legiti mate drama will be Thomas W. Keenein what he calls vaguely "a semi-religious his torical play," whatever that may be, and Frederick Warde in his newplay"TheLion's Mouth,'! by Carleton, of which great things are promised. Louis James will star next season, although he is to put in June with a curious aggregation at Manager Jacob Litt's honse in St. Paul, in a nautical war drama called "The Ensign," and in July will appear in "The Soudan," Jit-Chicago. One of the odd announcements in NewYoik is that James O'Neill has bought "Is Marriage u Failure," tho play hy Archibald Gordon which Itobson vainly tried to galvanize into lifo hero and hi other cities last season. What O'Neill wants with such a play Is hard to tell, Madame janauscnei: in a long letter to the I Iramatio Mirror denies .that she means tore- I U!J Mk i SUNDAY, MAY 31, tire, that she Is tt years Old by a good deal and nil thdthef stories circulated about her during her last visit to this" city. in ad dltlon to these denials which Thd dispatch cheerfully prints, Madame Jananschek potiM hot shot into her advance agent, John J. Foster, whom she accuses of uttering and spreading the false reports about her, It IS pleasant to SHOW that so great afi artist is not going to leave tho stage. Madame Janauschek, by the way, takes occasion t6 express her belief that the public does not care for the legitimate drama ahd especially the olasslo drama of Shakes peare. She bases her belief no doubt on her own experience. But the trouble lies hot with the public taste or Shakespeare's plays. Tho managers add actors are to blame, Mount a Shakespearean drama handsomely, intrust it to competent actors not to one good actor and a lots of "hams" and the public will go as eagerly to seethe trashy farce comedies ahd the spectacular shows, the existence of which Janausoiiek and other great actors foolishly bemoan, Itis rank nonsense W Say that popular taste iS degenerating; thero is no great change at all in the taste oftheator-goeis. They want, as they have done always, to be eutertained at the theater, to have their eyes and ears pleased ahd their minds refreshed, and thoy will go more readily to see Shakespearean plays than any others If the performance be first-Class in every sense of tho Word. In the same issue of the Mirror in which Janauschek's letter appears in an interview with Alfred Ayros, the actor and critic, in which he says most sensibly among other things: "The plays of 8hakcspeare aro moro remunerative t&an those of Any other writer. Whenever Shakespeare does not prove remunerative it is gonerally because the players were incompetent. We goto the theater to witness an exhibition of the player's art, and so long as the classic and standard drama Offer the best opportunities fot the actor to exhibit his art, -so long will the classic and tho standard drama provo more attractive than any other sort of drama. The better the play, the better it will pay. Whenever a man comes along capable of getting out of the Shakespearean Sarts all that there is in them the public ocks to seo him. If the hole-ih-tbe-ground style of drama yields better returns to-day than tho higher drama, it is for the same reason that A muslin gown neatly made is moio pleasing to the eye than a botched satin." Object lessons are needed by managers as much as tho rest of the world, and If Man ager Gnllok, of the Bijou, has not been taught the evil of allowing his theater to be polluted with such stuff as "The Clettienceatl Case," he must be beyond tuition. HzrBimN Joans. The Bijou Theater. J.

HzLE Bertram sang for the last time In "The Tar and the Tartar" company onFrt day of last week. Harry Askins sayS She left because the management refused to ftp point hor husband, Mr. Tomassi, musical dlreetor. Miss Bertram says the reason sho left was because other singers in the com pany are all powerful. Josephine Knapp Is playing Miss Bertram's role temporarily. GERALDWi Ulmab has, like other favorites of the public, found that it is one thing to mean to remain away from the stage for a given length of time nnd quite another to adhere to tho resolution, She appeared at tho Lyrio Theater, London, May 31, in her original part in "La CIgale," although it was announced on the occasion of her marriage to Ivan Caryll a few weeks ago that she would be absent from the Stage for about a year, Marie Halton has been engaged for next season at the Lyric.

The Daily Neici raves about her "sweetly modulated voice, with its suspicion Of American accent;" the Era rhapsodizes Over her pleasing mobility of feature, while the critic of the Referee con fesses that Miss Dorr's "pathstio tones went through him." The success achieved by 'The Tar and the Tartar," at Palmer's Theater, Is an estab lished fact. The receipts for the two weeks ending Snturday night exceeded those of ''Clover" by a very considerable amount. The success of this latest American Comic opera as presented by Manager Askln's ex cellcnt company has stirred up the inven tiveness Of the native composer and the native playwright and inspiied them with new hope, this fact being evidenced by the Shower of applications Mr. Askin receives daily, asking that alleged comic- operas may be presented to him for a hearing.

AnrcTAHT Charles Reese, of the Eighteenth Begiment, is in Philadelphia ofl a brief busi ness trip. The tentage of the Guard at the State Arsenal is being overhauled in preparation for the encampments In July. ASms from the Fourteenth Begiment a number of officers of tho Second Brigade contemplate attending the unveiling of the Bartranf t Monument. Delaware is not only small in area. Her legislators have out the National Guard ap propriation to $2,500, a sum that wouldn'tpay the pers nal expenses of an Adjutant Gen eral in a flrSt-claBS State. The annual rent and rifle practice Com mutations for last year were issued to the different companies entitled to them last week. There will be a corresponding amount of Joy in tho bosoms Of numerous creditors this week. There will be 40 appointments from civil life to Commissions In the regular Service, to be made by the President early In the fall. Preference will be given to members Of the National Guard. There are now over '250 applications in the hnndsor the Secretary of The service pay of the Tenth and Eighteenth Regiments for work in tho .coke regions was placed in the hands of the com manding officers last week. It amounted to over $27,000, the bulk of It going to the Tenth Regiment. Most of the companies of the Eighteenth Regiment were paid off at once. A bilz, has passed in Massachusetts to pay drummers $3 50 per day and to mount the chief buglers and pay them $4 per day. A man, in Order to draw the above pay, how ever, must be able to do business in that line, and not merely work his lips, like some of the dummies did at the last encampment Of the troops in this State. Caitais J. A. Load, who won so much notoriety in Connection with the recent coke troubles, spent a few days . in the city last week. He states that he does not anticipate any personal violence to himself in the future, as already nearly all tne excitement in that direction has died out. He IS pre pared, how ever, for emergencies at any time. In the allotment of the money to various States and Territories for arming and equip ping the Militia and Guard3 on the basis of representation in Congress, Pennsylvania will receive from the Secretary of War $27,642. New York, the highest on the list, gets $34,172 to her credit, and Arizona, the lowest, gets $2,000. Tho fund is available by July 1 next. Is the circular sent out by the Committee on Ceremonies of the World's Fair, there is ono item that will meet the approval of the progressive members of the Guard. It-is; "There will be no competitive drills for money prizes, ns extended correspondence with National Guard officers throughout the country develops a very general opposition to such an idea." Relative to the trip of-the Fourteenth Regiment to Norristown, Colonel Perchment has Issued the following order: "The several companies and drum corps of this regiment will report at Central Armory in heavy marcning orucr wiwi two uays cooKeu rations at 7 r. M., Friday, June 5, 1881. The Field and Staff will report at the same time and placo. Company commanders will pro ceed at once to place their arms, equipments and clothing in proper order. It is possible that tho companies of tho Eighteenth Begiment may appear in white pants during the coming encampment. Ono step toward improving the appearance of the men was mado when tho leggins were purchase somo time ago, and now Colonel Smith is aiming to give the command a dressy appearance by the introduction of white pants. White helmets have also been talked of in the organization for some time, but the general sentiment of the officers seems to do against them. A nnmoer or tiie officers have already purchased very hand some, white uniforms from nn Eastern firm, and it is probable all will be equipped in a liko manner before the camp opens. Gesxral Wtme has selected the Four teenth Begiment to represent the Second Brigade at -the unveiling of the Hartrnnrt Monument at Norristown next Saturday. He askod the Opinion of the different regimental commandants ns to the advisability of sending a provisional battalion or a regiment as a whole, and the latter plan seemed to be the general idea as being the best, so the Four teenth was named for the place. Colonel Perchment expects to have a full attendanco in the companies, nnd tho command will leave Pittsburg about 9 p. m. next Friday, leaving Norristown on tho return the follow ing evening. The First Brigade will be present, as will also several regiments of tho Third Brigade. It is expected that tho littlo cemetery at Norristown will bo crowded to ovoiflowing, as the accommodations are not the most ample for the ceremonies. The grave is situated in the southern corner of tho grounds, near nn oxtensive quarry, which will considerably interfere with a largo audience. Governor Pattlson and smff will occupy seats on the stage, and a nnmber of addresses will be made. Rapid Blue Printing. An engineer states that whilo experiment ing with blue printing processes, moro particularly with the object or getting bright bluo and clear white lines, he found that after tho usual washing a bath of quite diluto acid, such as hydrochloric, or still better, oxalic, would often greatly increase tho clearness of the prints. Ho ulso noted that a frequent cause of dirty.blues was a gradual altering of the solutions even -n lieu kept separate nntil the moment of using and an actual reason for the same re sult was to bo found In the poor quantity of tho ammonia, citrate of iron, etc., used.

Having been brought up to look to an union with the nightingale as her appointed destiny, the bud drew her self up at the bee's presumption, which in her heart she pardoned.
