Dalzcll and Miss Dalzell, of Lincoln avenue, presided at a very charming: reception on Thursday. The house was very prettily arranged with flowers.

The young society people of the East End are in a state of pleasurable anticipation over the colonial reception and tableaux that are to take place in Masonic Hall, Col lins avenue, on the evenings of March 7 and 8. The affair is to be given ostensibly un der the auspices of the Emory M. E. Church, but all the young people in that section of the city are interested and the event will unquestionably be one of consider able social importance. The arrange ments are in the hands ot the Misses Clara Abel, Ida Abel, T)olly Debert and Miss Wallace, and this fact alone giTes assurance of success. Then the subjects for the living pictures have been well chosen, with a view to pleasing. They are, so far as has been decided upon at present, to be "The Love Song," "Minute," "Story Teller," "Seminary Girls," "Peace maker," "Love or Gold," "Bashful Wooer," "Marguerite." "Elopement and Eeturn" and "Faint Heart" About 50 or 60 ot the brightest and prettiest young ladies of the city, together with a number of young men, are already rehearsing their attitudes, and if such a ttiing is possible, the masterpieces of the artists who evolved the original paintings will be improved upon. A rehearsal took place last evening at the residence of the Misses Abel, corner of Bond and If. Highland avenues, and others will follow during the interval be tween the present and the date of the public entertainment, in rapid succession. These afiairs partake more of the nature of home receptions than ol rehearsals, and are always accompanied by special features that make their increasing frequency a thing to be desired.

One of the great advantages of the electric system of heating lies in the evenness with which the metal is heated, the interior of the metal being heated first and the rest of the mass uniformly and gradually. Prob ably one of the greatest advantages, how ever, lies in the fact that dnrinu the process of heating there are no gases developed, nor is there any foreign substance present to en ter into the metal. So that the metal is, after being heated electrically, entirely without scale. GRAND "WIXD-UP OF THE TIRE SALE, Positively the Last Week Final ISndlng of tho Hale of Damaged Goods, at the P. C. C.

She also continues to ex ercise hergood judgment in selecting her company. It was in every respeot all that could be desired. The clever Courtenay Thorrto had better onrortunlty to manifest his power during the week than he has had here before. The first three evenings of the week his, work in three plays, differing widely in character, stamped him as one of tlin most versatile men now on the boards. Felix Moirl", as uual, was perfection itself. 1 1 hero is not a better character actor living, leidinand Gottschalk Is another performer who is deservlngof all praise. Ho was at his best in Doctor Ftnmcum in '"Barbara." Mr. Gottschalk occasioned considerable sur prise by his very clever work on the piano In the slight opportunity offered dur ing the progress ot "The Pantomine Re hearsal." Or Miss Vokcs herself it is hardly necessary to say much. Everything she does Is so thoi ouglily artistic that an attempt to praise is superfluous. An exception might be made in one instance, however, bv re ferring to her characterization or .Bai&ara in the little nlnvnf that. Tl.trrtR. Tn It fthft tT. hibited, I believe, for the first time to Pitts burgeis her ability in a sentlmentnl vein. The opportunity was not great, but what there was of it indicated that she was fully equal to the task ir necessary. Some disap pointment was manifested during the week that Miss Vokes had not included the evei popuhir"Ciicus Elder" in one or her pro grammes. Thomas W. Keene appeared In a ronnd of tragedy at the Grand Opera House last week and I do not know of a single instance in which he has appeared to better advan tage. He had a company with him that was far above the ordinary. More attention was paid to stage-setting and the geneial acces sories than usual and these cdvantages seemed to brace Mr. Keene up to better work than he has ever manifested in this city. In the opinion of many he nas at his best In the poweiful and extremely trying role of "Louis XL" Louis and Richard III Ma two characters that seem to suit Mr.Keene's powers better than the others in his reper toire. Kate Castleton and her company of come dians amused large ci-Qwcls at the Bijou during the week in the farce-comedy "The Dazzler." It is like nearly all of its class, a thing without plot or apparent object, ex cepting the creation of mirth. It was suc cessful in the last particular. Tne fair Kate shons some evidence of waning poweis or else she was slightly under the weather. Her performances of the pat week did not give as much satisfaction as usual. "The Old Homestead" held the Doards at tho Alvln to the biggest business the house has so far known. This was Its second visit to this city, out instead of Its drawing powers falling off, they seem to grow instead of diminish, the more the plav becomes known. There is not much In it, except that It presents a picture of life that is at once natural and truthful, and one that even a child's Intellect Is not strained to compre hend or enjoy. "Sinbad," or the Maid of Balsora, and Da vid Henderson's splendid organization the American Extravaganza Company, will be seen again at the Duquesne Theater to-morrow night. "Sinbad" scored such a decided and emphatic success when It was here be fore that this time we are to have it for two weeks, or, as It is announced iu the adver tisements, for 12 nights and four matinees. Pittsburg must be developing as a show center or so shrawd a manager as David Henderson would not undertake to keep such an expensive organization as his com pany liore lor two weeks. It is an experi ment which shows his faith in the town and his belief In the supreme drawing poweis of his attraction. "Sinbad" was here so recently that its at tractive scenes, entertaining features and clever company are well remembered. In w calth of scenic splendor it is questionable w hether anything so absolutely perfect has beon seen befoie iu this city. Tho four scenes, which in their elaborateness and elegance challenge unbounded admiration, aio the vision of the ocean depths, tse trop ical Island, the valley of diamonds ind the gorgeous ivory and gold palace of Sinbad, and the acme of spectacular grandeur is leached in Dangerfleld's transformation scene representing "The Morning of Life." The company is the same clever ahd com petent seen here before with somo aiMitions. All the lavorite musical members aio 16 tained and we will again have an oppor tunity to hear the amusing Icline serenade, the topical quartet, "That's What the Wild Waves Aie Saying," Foy's pantomimic song, "1 here Are Moments When One W tints to Bo Alone." Dunn's bright parodies, ' True as Steel," "In a Minute," "I am Seventeen To day" ana tne otner popular numbers. Martha Irmler still leads the ballets assisted by Henrietta Kosclie and Edith Cralke, the latter a recent addition to the company. "The Bottom ot the Sea,"' the big marine spectacle that created such a big sensation in our city last November, will be given its second presentation at the Bijou next Monday night. It will be an entire new pro duction and many realistic features have been added. The flrstact shows the Interior of an ocean s'teamer on her way from West India to France, her boilers explodo and thero is a realistic shlpwrpckscene, showing the fctiugglingpjssengeisln the water and tho gradual descent of the ill-fated vessel. At this moment a full-rigged yacht comes In sight, tossing on the waves, and the act closes with the most realistic rescue ever conceived. The fourth act contains the submarine scenes, of which there are ten tableaux or transformations, showing the descent of tour submarine divers clad In their peculiar out fit and helmets with their flashing electric headlights. During the descent one of the divers Is attacked by a huge octopus, or devil fish, and a realistic conflict takes place. The diver escapes and joins his com panions at the bottom of the sea. Here they come upon the wreck of the ill-fated steamer sunlc in the first act, and the hero of the piece, seeing the villains robbing the dead of their treasures, interferes, and a terilflo conflict tanes place. The most Interesting feature of this act is the pantomimic work of the players and the swimming about of all strange kinds or fish. The company, which is an exceedingly large one, embraces many well-known players, the principal of which aie Mr. George -Webster, Mr. J. M. Brophy, Boss O'Neal, Mr. Felix Harvey, Mollie Stockmeycr, Camilla Cleveland aud many others. To-morrow night will witness the first presentation here of "Men and Women," the last and most successful work of Henry C. DeMille and David Belasco, authors ef "The Wife," "Charity Ball," etc., which takes place at the Alvin Theater Monday night by Mr. Charles Froh man's Company. No Amer ican drama has had so much written about it as this play, which teaches its forcible moral lesson as effectively as a "masterly sermon. Tho story goes: A young bank cashier misappropriates securities belong ing to the bank, and in a reckless endeavor to become speedily wealthy, looses everything in speculation. The assistant cashier, is accused and the crime fastened upon him by circumstantial evi dence. The criminal cashier watches the accusation of the assistant belore a mid night meeting or the bauk officials and even testifies against him. Not until his affianced wife arrives and informs him that she knows the facts does the guilty man lift his voice and put on the handcuffs intended for an other. This midnight meeting of tho bank officials is acknowledged to be one or the most uniquely and powerfully conceived situations known to the American stage, and through its entire development the in terest of the audience is something intense. The characterization of uncouth, unlet tered but withal big-hearted, honest, loving Irish women has been made by Annie War Tiffany a specialty distinctively her own, and In this line she stands without a rival. As Peggy Logan, a. laithful Irish nuise, in "The Stepdaughter," she will be seen at the Grand this week, and our theatergoers in their rounds should not fail to secure seats for this entertainment, as it is one of the best offdred in Pittsburg this season. Tho play is said to be strongly arranged and happily built throughout, its sequences natural and its climaxes forceful. It is attractively set, the last scene by the coast, showing Peggy's escape from a tower prison, being especially truthful and effec tive. There is room in Peggy Logan lor a great deal of healthy Irish fan, and Miss Tiffany puts into it a whole-souled pathos and irreslstable humor. It is ono of those characters at once taking with the every day audiences, appealing highly to tho human sympathies. Miss Tiffany, in this new venture, has won for herself" a very distinct triumph. Topular prices will pre vail during tne engagement. Matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Gus Hill's World of Novelties retnrns to tho Academy orMusic this week. This mere announcement would be sufficient to pack this pouular house all the week, It is so gen erally known that Mr. Hill always has some attraction that is worth golngmanv miles to see. His own clubs winging act, though not one of the novelties, is always worth seeing. Miss Wellington's songs, too,are a great card. Manager Williams returned irom New York yesterday, and ho is confident this week's ousiuess will bo equal to anv lor many Weeks Past -Thdttinurlll nntbnrtlsnnnnintpd is almost an assured fact. William Gillette's masterpiece, "Held by the Enemy," will be the attraction at Har ris. Britton & Dean's comfortable theater this week. Tho story of the play is one of the brighter threads running through the sombre woof of the Civil War. There are climaxes that burst forth in a spirit of pa triotism and true devotion, awakening the deepest .admiration In the auditor.iwhcse heart responds to the inspiring call or noble sentiments. Pathos and comedy run hand in hand. No ono is ."starred" in tho cast now presenting the play, but every member of the company has been selected with an especial view to his or her fitness for their respective roles. Consequently a finished and very enjoyable peiformance may be counted upon. Margaret Mather will present for the first time at the Chicago Opera House to-morrow night her new play, "The Egyptian." Tho story is derivod from one of Victor Hugo's most powerful works, and gives Miss Mather many opportunities toNdispIay her wonder ful dramatic powers. Hersurroundings will be such, from a scenic point of view, as to give her every advantage. These havo been painted bv the celebrated artist, Walter Bnrrige. Her supporting company Is said to be excellent. Pittsbuigers honM be In terested, inasmuch as Margaret Mather, her company and the play rererred to appear at tho Bijou the week of the 22d. Han? Davis' Museum-Theater. As usual Manager Davis comes forward with a fresh list of novelties Tor the weefc. To 'begin with a six day's lowing contest has been arranged between the celebrated Wal lace Boss and Ed. Monighor, a local celeb rity. They will use the mechanical land hojts used in the famous race at Madison Square Garden, New York City. A hand some prize and purse will be .ji warded the winner. In addition Robert Detrlo will en tain vlsltois Jora few moments In spirit land. Mamie Clayton, a snake oharmer, will exercise her powers over a big, vicious boa constiictor; and Captain Miller exhibits n large collection of Indian relics. The Fitz slmmons relics still remain and in the thea ter Lorretti's Big Specialty Company will offer a choice piogramme. The "World's Museum-Theater. -At this popular place of amusement an other excellent bill is offeredfor the coming week. In the Cnrio Hall, the beautiful Hindoo snake enchantress, "Tatima," who fondles and plays with thelargcsc and dead liest of reptiles, makes her first appearance. Miss Belle Carter, the lady with the horse's mane, SIgnor Podretti, the American Samp son; Captain Chittenden, tho traveler, and the famous Albino setter Ltllie, are con tinned another weelr. In the theater, Fitz gerald& Lewis' Comedy Company will an- . pear In the delightful comic opera, "Blue ucara." Tne pioauction wm be beautifully staged. This Is Henrv Byron's version in two acts, wbioh Is considered the very best. Next week the famous "Jo-Jo" comes for a short engagement. Theatrical Notes. DAitrsx Faonir A's splendid production of "The Charity Ball"' will visit Pittsburg shortly. "All the Comforts of Homes" Is on its way here and will be seen at the Grand in a cou plo of weeks. "Yon Yossou" is coming shortly arid is said to be In bettor shape than ever. The performance is filling the theaters every where , The Casino Opera Company, presenting "The Tyrolean" and "Nanon," and said to be one of the stroneest companies on the road, is heading toward Pittsburg. It is said quite a number or .Eastern man agers wanted "Sinbad" for a longer time than was allowed them, but Manager Hen derson refused to break' his Pittsburg en gagement. ' Lillian Eussell begins a four weeS3' en gagement in Boston to-morrow night. Her comic opera, "La Cigale," Is "creating a per fect furore In the East. She will appear in this city in April. Mixe. Edith Ckaske is a late addition to the ballet forces of "Sinbad." She will be seen in a unique solo In the "Winter Ballet" of that big spectacle when the American Extravaganza Company returns here next week. Manager David Hesdeesos at last an nounces the nameof his sixth annual ex travaganza production. As in the case of "SIdbad" and "Aladdin," he has taken his theme from "The Arabian Nights." It will be "The Forty Thieves," under the title of "All Baba, Jr." It was thought tho death of Margaret Mather's mother, which took laco last week, would prevent her from fulfilling her engagements; indeed, she wanted to cancel them, but her managers were loth to allow her, and In consequence she reluctantly agreed to continue. Mapasi Le Plokqeox, the noted explorer, will lecture at Old City Hall to-morrow evening on the subject of tho magnificent ruins of Yucatan and its prehistoric people. The Madam's scientific reputation Is widely known, and her lecture will without doubt be exceedingly interesting. Rose Coohlaw, who appears in this city shortly, has been received with much favor this season in "Dorothy's Dilemma." Last week, at Albany, Miss Coghlan had in her audience at one time Governor. Flower, of New York, and the Mayor of the town, both of whom expressed themselves delighted with the performance. Isabelle Coe made her first appearance as I't'o6einNewTork on Monday night, and made the greatest hit of her life. Everyone who saw her splendid acting coincide in the opinion that she is the best, most graceful and handsomest of all the clever actresses that have beeu seen in the past, and that she is probably prettier than the original Xiiobe. Mb. E. S. Willaed, who made such a re markable impression at his first appearance in this city a few weeks ago, will be at the Duquesne very soon. The engagement is Important from the fact that he will not only appear in the "Middleman," but also give his Pittsburg admirers an opportunity to see him in his lamous creation, "Judah.', Haviio proven to the authorities that her performance is entirely legitimate, as well as entertaining. Miss Anna Eva Fay will give another and the last of her wonderful performances at the Auditorium to-morrow evening. Miss Fay's skill is said to be truly remarkable, and, judging from the interest manifested, the attendance will doubtless be large. Loxla Glasser, from Allegheny City, who is a member of Francis Wilson's Opera CDm pany.now playing at the Broadway Theater, New York, made quite a hit last Monday night in "The Lion Tamer." She was under study for Marie Jansen, who was taken sud denly ill. Miss Glasser was called upon with an hour's notice, and according to the New York papers did excellently. Ik addition to the McCaall benefit, which ,wlll be given In New York on the 11th, Maa "ager David Henderson gives a benefit at the Chicago Opera House, and nearly all the members of his American Extravaganza Company will play for the onco great man ager of comic opera the same day at the Chestnut Street Opera House in Philadel phia. Between the benefit at the Metro politan Opera House, New York, those In Philadelphia and Chicago, ono by the "Tar and Tartar" company In Boston and that given by Paulino. Hall, it -Is supposed that over $25,000 will be realized. Colonel Me Caull is at his home in Philadelphia, and all hopes of his recovery have been abandoned months ago. SCIENCE AS APPLIED To the Yarions Eeqnirements of the Present Civilization. TESLA'S DISCOVERY IS LIGHTING. Photographing the Stomach and Eemoying Metallic Poisons. PAPER AS I A BUJLDIXG MATERIAL rWBITTEX FOR THE niSPATCIT. t The profound interest aroused in English electrical circles last week by Nikola Tesla's brilliant lectures before thi Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Royal Institu tion serves to recall some pregnant remarks made in London by Prof. William Crookes a few months ago. It is well known that Mr. Tesla has succeeded in passing by in duction through the glass of a lamp energy sufficient to keep a filament in a state of in candescence without the use of connecting wires. He has even lighted a room by pro ducing in it such a condition that an il luminating appliance may be placed any where and lighted without being electric ally connected with anything. He has pro duced the required condition by creating in the room a powerful electrostatic fielcLalter nating very rapidly. He suspends two sheets of metal, each connected with one of the terminals of the coiL If an exhausted tube is carried anywhere between these two sheets, or placed anywhere, it remains al ways luminous. In referring to, this discovery, Prof. Crookes said that the extent to which this method of illumination may be practically available experiments alone can decide. He suggested lhat improved methods for pro ducing the excessively frequent alternations and enormous potentials on which its utili zation might depend might be obtained by tapping the ether. If this were done, the prospective exhaustion of the coal fields of the world might be viewed with indifference and the smoke question would be at once solved. Tn speaking of slower vibrations, Prof. Crookes said they reveal the bewilder ing possibility of telegraphy without wires, posts, cables or Sny of our present costly appliances. Therapeutic Electricity. The ordinary electric bath is one of the best means of stimulating and refreshing a patient in a debilitated state of health. One singular result is the removal of metallic poisons from the body. This is effected by electrolysis. The metallic poison will be found in the water after 30 minutes sitting. An enterprising bathman made a comforta ble sum last year by an electric bath in the sea. In a small battery house at the edge of the, water he placed ten cells of battery, connected in series. From these he led a 25-wire cable to a distribution box placed on a pole in the water, in which the cable was fanned out and connected by leads to the electrodes mounted on the cross-arms. The other side of the battery was connected to earth by a plate submerged in the water just beyond the edge of the shore. A person wishing to take an electric bath was provided with a cord and electrode. On going into the water he connected his cord with the term-j inal of a battery lead on the pole, and he could vary the amount of current received by approaching or retiring from the vicinity of the ground plate. In this way a person could get an electric shock as severe or as mild as he wished, while at the same time securing the full amount of benefit and pleasure usually attendant on the sea bath. Photographing; Inside the ISody. Phrenologists have long claimed to be able to ascertain the character of an indi vidual by observing the conformation of the bumps on his skull, but now photography, in conjunction with the electric light, has rendered it possible for a man to know by ocular demonstration the state of his own inside. Inclosed in a cylindrical case pro vided with two hemispherical shutters and contained in an India rubber tube, is a small cylindrical camera. In front of the lens are two tiny incandescent lamps, the wires to which, ss well as a short pipe front the camera, are carried in an outside casing tube. Simple pressure on a pneumatic ball drives the camera forward in the encasing cylinder, and at the same instant makes the contact for the electric lamps and opens the shutters. By removing the pressure on the ball the camera returns to its place, the lamps go out and the shutters close. The Telephone in Surgery. A remarkable application of the tele phone has been made by Dr. J. 3Iount Bleyer. In a case of membranous croup in tubation was successfully resorted to. "When the removal of the tube became npcessary it had disappeared. Tracheotomy would evi dently iave to be performed, but the diffi culty was to locate the tubel A delicate metallic probe attached by an electric wire, the other end of which terminated in a tele phone receiver, was passed down through the larynx. As soon as it came in contact with the tube a distinct click was communi cated to the ear through the receiver. The exact location having thus been deter mined, tracheotomy was performed, and the tube extracted. A Boon for Farmers' Boys. A machine has been brought out to pull weeds entirely out of the ground, or to kill them in case they are well rooted, by stripping off their seeds and leaves. It is adapted to be drawn by horses and a sprocket drive on the drive wheel is con nected to rotate a forward shaft by which a drum is rotated. The drum has longitu dinal slots in its rim, in each of which moves a comb, the teeth of which form V shaped openings into which the stems of the weeds readily pass and are firmly gripped. The machine is said to have given great, satisfaction being well adapted to pull up weeds in cultivated ground in Most Baking Powders Contain Ammonia or Alum; Cleveland's does not- It is made only of pure cream of tar tar and soda, with a little flour added to keep the strength, nothing else.
