Tfce fad of the day unions: -women la dress
reform. Tne'dea is not a new one. Prom
the days of bloomerlsm to those of Mrs.
Jenness-Miller there has been tho same -wild
desire on the part of the members of the
softer sex to escape the tyranny of skirts. Ko
matter how the matter may be discussed, it
!s apparent that if -women -were allowed to
wear troui-ers, or some modification of them,
they would be more comfortable, and more
fit to cope with men in the occupations of
the world.
There have been all sorts of apologies for
this garment -worn by women. The divided
klrt seems to be the favorite now, and if it
Is not generally -worn it is only because the
average woman is more afraid of the re
marks of her sisters than desirous of com
fortable clothing. It is certain, however,
that there is more anriety shown now about
the dress of women than has been the case
for several years. It is not difficult to trace
the reason of it.
Xot only are women doing more in busi
ness thanevcr before, but they are riding
bicycles with a persistence that was never
expected of them in the days, not long ago,
when men ran along perched above a 52-inch
wheel. The introduction of safeties, and
their spcedv application to the ue of women
made a better dress than the ordinary skirts
imperatively necessary. Although the
divided skirt has not been generally adopted
in the laslnonable parts of Pittsburg and
Allegbenv, it is conceded that it must come
into use dmong the fair bicyclists. Let the
ordinary skirt be disposed ever so grace
fullv, it will flip-flap against the wheel
when the nder puts on a "spurt." The
divided skirt would adapt it6elf to the re
quirement of thw ort of locomotion, and 15
would soon be apparent that lady bicyclists
Miould nor indulge in their favorite sport
in am other costume. It is sate to predict
that before the summer of 1KC is very old
most of the girls who ride tho silent steed
about the East End thoroughfares on the
beautiful asphaltum roadways, will wear
the regulation bicvcling costume, consisting
of a neat divided skirt for its most im
portant item.
SIOEE OUT OP DOOE THXATEIOAI8.
Open air theatricals have taken the fancy
of society people. The successful presenta
tion of "As 1 on Like It" two eeks ago
started it In Pittsburg. Xow a repetition of
thit performance has been arranged for
Lake-rood, where it is to be given on tho
lawn of the Kent House, next Friday. About
the same cast will do the play as we saw at
the Kenmawr, including our own brilliant
and beautiful young Allegheny actress, Miss
Mario Bnrress. Mr. Jenksis promised the
f-uppoit of all the people along Chautauqua
lake, together with nianv in Jamestown, X.
1, Builalo, and other places within easy
reach of Eakrwood.
It is expected that several large theater
parti's will go from Pittsburg, there benfg
excuiioiis on two railroads running up to
the lake. Besides tho Lakewood perform
ance it is proposed to give one in the open
ir at the Park Place Hotel, Sewickley,
which will also be under the management of
Mr. George C. Jenks. We have had so much
rain In the past that it is fair to expect a
!ry period now, in which outdoor entertain
ments will flourish.
rEOPEE TIME FOE THE OETTH'O.
This is the time of year when many people
are coining back from the seashore and
mountains, tired and somewhat disgusted
because they took their holiday so early in
the season. It has been laining almost in
cessantly for three months, and the (seashore
lias not been the pleasantest place in the
world. The wise man who had only enough
spare cash to spend the regulation ten days
or two weeks out of town waited till he was
euio the weather would settle. He is Just
Ftartlcg ou his holiday uow.and he will get
out of it all there is in it. He wiH not have
to go bathing in the rain not he.
August and September are the months in
which to spend a vacation, and he will not
have to lcproach himself that he went too
early when he returns. He will have a
healthv brown on his cheek and vigor in his
body to enable him to fight his way through
the winter, and he will he able to say to him
self that he has pursued the sensible course.
Ko w is the time lor your holiday.

PESTrVITIES OF G&Y ATJGTJST.
Outings in Groves and on the Itlver Are
Socially Fopalar.
One of the most pleasant events of the
season was a "Hay Kide" last Monday even
ing, given by some of the young people of

was spent in dancing, which was kept up
until the "wee snia" hours in the morning,
when the party took thelrhomeward march.
All went well until nearly home, when a
heaw shower of rain came up, which caused
the gentlemen to raise their umbrellas and
protect their ladies. Tho whole party was
slightly dampened, but were perfectly satis
fled to'undergo the dampening process, so
tuoroughlv satisfied were tbey with the
niv Hide'." The party think they would

Tho Twenty-fifth National Encampment
has come and gone. In no city did the Alle
gheny county contingent enjoy itself more
than in Detroit. Said a comrade, returned:
"Detroit did herselr proud and everybody is
happy. The city is beautiful and tho pro
fuse decorations made it more so. The G.
A. E. badge arranged with electrio lightB on
City Hall was magnificent, and surpassed
anything of tho kind ever produced. The
parade, while noi as large as that in Boston
la-t year, was more compact. Tho smooth,
wide streets afforded ample ground for both
the troops and the spectators. The old sol
diers never marched better. Pennsylvania
as usual received an ovation all along the
line. All tho men were in uniform and the
division presented a soldierly appearance.
The battalion composed of Posts 151 and 157,
under command orcomrade W.J.Patterson,
marched with the precision of regulars, and
was loudly applauded everywhere on the
march."
The Dispatch last week gave fall reports
from the encampment o little need he said
of the business transacted. The election of
Captain John Palmer, of the Department of
New York, as Commander in Chief came in
the nature of a surprise. Henry M. Duffiold,
of Michigan, was elected Senior Vice Com
mander by acclamation. T. S. Clarkson, of
Nebraska, won the contest for Junior Vice
Commander. S. B. Payne, of Florida, was
elected Chaplain, and Surgeon General Ben
jamin T. Stevenson, of Connecticut, was re
elected. Washington, D. C, was chosen as
the plaoe for holding the encampment in
Sons of Veterans, Attention I
Sons of Veterans, the time Is fast approach
ing when you will take charge of the noble
work now being done by the Grand Army.
You want the men of -She Grand Army to
feel confident in their declining years that
they are going to leave their work in able
and willing hands. Therefore, you should
mpress upon them on every available oc
casion your earnestness and strength.
Grand Army Day, Tuesday, August 18, will
be a notable occasion. If every member of
the Sons of Veterans in Allegheny county
would turn out at Eock Point on that day
the old soldiers would be astonished
and delighted at the large num
bers. Every member of tho order who
possbly can, should turn out on that day
and show to the old soldiers what a strong
and ready band of workers is rising to help
perpetuate the glorious deeds of the gallant
heroes of '61, to assist them in their old ace
and to stand ready to rush to their support,
during the march of the remnant of the
noble Union armies on to final victory,
should they be needed.
The camps are making preparations, and
a large turnout is hoped for. Lieutenant
Colonel Alf G. Loyd has been elected com
mander of the day for the Sons of Veterans:

The First Soldiers of the War.
Who were the first soldiers of the wart
An answer to this interesting question is
given by the Philadelphia Press which says:
"From what appears to be compotent au
thority tho following facts are gleaned. The
first offer for services to President Lincoln
which was accepted, came from Comrade C.
P. Lord, now of Vineland, New Jersey., who
was enrolled in the Sixth Massachusetts
Regiment. The first soldier to enroll his
name as a f oldier of the war in 1861, was
Comrade W. B. Potts, of the Washington
Artillery, of Pottsville, Pa., one of the 'First
Defenders.' The first man to be mustered
as a volunteer soldier in the war was Com

GOSSIP OF THE STAGE.
Manager Henderson Makes a Great Hit In
the Revival of "Mikado" Grand Open
ing of the Bijou Season General News
From the Theatrical World.
The tenacity that Gilbert and Sullivan's
"Mikado" has upon the public was best
evidenced by tho immensity of the audience
that assembled at the Duquesne Theater last
night. The house was crowded upstairsartd
down, and by 8 o'clock it was impossible to
obtain a seat. It was the initial representa
tion of the "Mikado, or tho Maid of Titipu,"
by the Garrow Opera Company, and to say
that a signal success was scored is hardly
putting it strong enough. "Mikado" com
panies have come and gone, but rarely has
there been one that gave so clever a produc
tion both musically and in a histrionic sense.
Miss Laura Clement, who is naturally a
woman of beauty, never looked prettier
than as Yum Yum. More than that the lady
has a remarkably sweet, clear an,d sympa
thetic voice that is cultured and every musi
eal number that was her own received a
hearty encore. Mr. John Brand not only
looked but acted Pooh Boh with all the dig
nity and lordly graciousness that so well
befits the high and mighty man of many
offices. It has olten been said of Miss
Augusta Roche that no better Kotitha ever
existed. With last night as an evidence, it
is safe to go a step further and say for Miss
Roche that of all the Katisha's who have
visited this city her Impersonation and con
ception is by far the superior. Particularly
can this bo said of her singing, Mr. Henry
Hallam met all the requirements of Karikipoo
in a most acceptable manner. He was in
good voice, acted well and met with much
favor from the audience. If there is a
laborious role in the opera of tho "Mikado"
it is certainly that of Ko-Ko. Mr. Charles H.
Drew, who assumed the character last night
as he has assnmed it many hundreds of
times before, Injected enough comedy into
the festive Ko-Ko to keep the audience roar
ing with lahghter from nls first appearance
until the final tail of the curtain. His local
verses introduced into the singing of
"We have got 'em on the list" were timely
and apropos and were demanded over and
over, until the gentleman bad to plead sheer
exhaustion as an excuse for desisting. The
Mikado was Intelligently handled by Mr.
Jesse Jenkins and gave the gentleman the
best opportunity he has had during the
present season of comlo opera. He had the
singing down to a. nicety, and his singing
brought man v rounds of annlause.
It was expected that Miss Lilian Swain
would make a prettv PUti Sing, but the little
lady made a decided hit and brought several
encores, mamng an possime 01 me oniy op
portunity given to this character in the
opera. The Pith Tushot Mr. William Under
wood, the Kceban of Mr. Robert Stanley,
Miss Josephine Stanton as Peep-Bo did the
little they had to do well. The opera was
well costumed, the choruses were given with
vigor and dash, the posing and tableaux
wero all good. Tho "Mikado" will be given
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings and Saturday matinee. So
many requests have been made for the re
production of the "Bohemian Girl" that it
will bo given Friday and Saturday evenings
of this week.
The season at the Bijou has been opened
and everything points toward success. In
fact Bijou and success are synonomous in
Pittsburg. The immense crowds that waited
tho parting of the curtains last night found
plenty to attract their attention in the won
derful changes that have been made since
that great playhouse closed Its doors to the
public last spring. For weeks carpenters
and decorators have been at work. Every
thing has been brightened up and retouched.
There is a wonderful profusion of olectrio
lights. One would hardly know the lobby.
itnasgiown zu Dnuiants. not oniy mere,
but all through the playhouse every de
partment has been renovated and re
paired. There is also a large amount
of new scenery and the old has all been
retouched. As for the list of attractions,
they have all been published. Bobby Gay
lor, in "Sport McAllister" last night, proved
at least that the first attraction is a success.
His ready Irish wit will prove a drawing
card for the entire week. Mr. Gulick has
also been busy at his desk picking up the
threads, and now, everything is in shape.
One of the most recent bookings 13 that
of McKee Rankin's great work, ''Abraham
Lincoln," about which such a furore has
been crea-tod. The play will be staged in
magnificent style. Elmer Gradin, who
takes tho part of Abraham Lincoln, is said to
be a natural living picture of the martyred
President. He is tall, lank and bonv, and
his face Is a counterpart of that of Lin
coln. The Grand Opera House will open the
season Monday, August 31, with the brilliant
young comedian, Mr. Milford Clarke, in the
following English comedies: "The Runaway
Match," "The Babes in the Woods," which
title has since been used for a musical bur
lesque, "Married Life," as well as Goldsmith's
comedy of "She StooDS to Conquer," and the
sterling Engligh comedy of "Paul Pry. or I
Hope IDon't Intrude."
The Fall of Pompeii still continues to do a
good business. The special features that
are being introduced have greatly added to
its patronage, and the crowds increase with
every perlormance. It will be givon this
week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The Salambos, a vaudeville company of
the highest order, will appear at the
Academy this week. Everything about the
company is new, and a big week's business
is promised, especially as this is Manager
Williams' opening week.
"The Limited Mail" win follow Bobby
Gaylor at the Bijou. It is from tho pen of
Elmer E; Vance, and has been spoken of
most highly.
