China, not the Chinee question, occupied
n large portion of the attention of the artis
tic element of Pittsburg lat week. The
Ceramic Club's exhibition in the Academy
of Science and Art was something novel as
well as interesting. The art of painting on
china is not new, but the iorm in which it
was shown at the Ceramic Club's reception
was sufficiently different from anything else
of the kind to attract general attention.
Much ot the work shown was of a high
order, although accomplished by ladies who
are not classed as professionals. Of so high
an order.was the standard of merit, that the
club will be sure to make a creditable dis
play at the "World's Fair, provided arrange
ments are made for an exhibition there. The
President, 3Irs. Liljigren, of the Duquesne
Club, says there have been many applica
tions for membership from young ladies who
want to get their work on exhibition at the
"World's Fair. She hopes that that is not
the only incentive, because it is the purpose
of the Duquesne Club to remain in existence
for a long time after the World's Fair. It
must be said that the great interest taken in
the club does not bear out the President's
apprehensions in this respect.
There never has been a more creditable
organization than the Needlework Guild of
Pittsburg. It is in existence for the good
it can do, and not for the social pleasure of
its members. Next to supplying food to
the hungry, there is nothing more import
ant than to clothe those who cannot procure
proper garments sa e with the help of the
charitable. The "Ingathering" held at the
Third U. P. Church on "Wednesday showed
what a deep and lar-reaching interest there
is in this work. Clothes of all kinds, tor
all sorts and sizes of people, and of both
sexes, was brought in, and the benevolent
spirit of those who managed the aflair was
Ebown in a tnousana ways as tne ounaies
were made np and sent to the needy. Any
one can become a member of the Needle
work Guild. Men, women and children
are invited to assist if not by work, at
least by contributing clothing. There are
plenty of people needing garments to cover
them "at all times in Pittsburg.
Last week the most important wedding
during Lent took place. It was that of
iliss "Wertheimer and Mr. L. Kauh. The
religions belief of the participants is not af
fected by Lenten observance, and hence the
marriage could take place within the 40
days as well as at any other time.
The residence which appears at the head
of this column to-day will be recognized
as that of Mrs. Martha Chambers, on Fifth
avenue, near Amberson, East End.
Next Sunday will be Easter. The melan
choly days of sackcloth and asbes are nearly
over, and we are getting ready to lay aside
repentance lor another 12 months that is,
formal repentance. It is to be hoped that
the sad season has not been without its good
influence upon our spiritual as well as cor
poreal natures.
Mrs. David Kirk gave a small but de
lightful dinner Fridav evening at her
home, Svlvan Terrace, Oakland, in honor of

Colonel W. H.' Moody Circle No. 52, Ladles
of the G. A. R., having moved into their new

A St. Loris comrade is talking of organiz

men." He wUl probably discover before
long that sboh talk is nonsense. Any reputa

and who was honorably discharged, is
eligible to membership in the Grand Army,
whether he served one day or five years.
The idea is contrary to the broad and noble

Adjutant General Greenland spent a day
in tho city last week. In leference to the
idea which has been suggested of sending to
Washington one of the most intelligent offi
cers of the guard in order that he might go
under instruction on the new tactics and be
able to Impart a uniform Idea of the same to
his brother ofilceis, Geneial Gicenland
thinks the scheme might be a good one if
any arrangement could he made as to ex
penses. The new drill regulations, while as
complete as could be expected, are
ooen to a variety of opinions In place,
and as a result eich instiuctlng officer
places his own construction on the dnubtiul
parts. Up until the election oi Governor
Pattlson to his present tenn, renns ivania
has usually had a l eular officer detailed to
this State on the Governor's staff, and as
there are seveial applicants lor the appoint
ment now, It would probably be a good Idea
for Gereral Gieenland to ask foi a detail of
this kind and utilize the knowledge of the
officer in connection with the new tactics.

A BUDGET OP aEKERAL NEWS ITEHS
Although no May Festival of the regala
tfon pattern is scheduled for Pittsburg next
month, the season of 1891-92 will not lack a
finale of4he very highest artistic quality,
and ot quite sufficient quantity. The three
festival concerts to be given hv the Mozart
Olnb at Old City Hnll, May 12, 13 and 14,
will afford as extensive a feast of the best
music as even an enthusinstio music lover
really cares, or ought to' digest, in one week.
Pittsburg's own cruck chorus will again
be assisted by the Boston Symphony Or
chestra, everywhere conceded to be the
finest body of players in the country,T with
Mr. Arthur Kikisch, condnctor. It will be
the first time that the Mozart Club has
given a series of three concerts
with a complete orchestra. The out-or-town
soloists will be: Mr. Eugen D'Albert,
whose right to rank as one of the best, if
not the very best, of living pianists has
lately been proven in Pittsburg; Mr.
and Mrs. Georg Henschel, two of
the most delightfnl . singers of the
day, famous throughout the. musi
cal world; Miss Adelaide Foresman,
whose rich contralto has twice found favor
here, and Mr. Gardner Lamson, of Boston,
a bass enjoying high repute in the East
Besides, there are several world-famous
artists in the orchestra such as Mr. Franz
Kneisel and Mr. Alwin Bchroeder, for in
stance whom we may hope to hear in solo
numbers.
On Thursday evening will come the
symphony concert, in which Mr. Nikisch
and his peerless band will be assisted by
Mr. D'Albert. Friday evening will open,
with a brief miscellany supplied
by, Mr. Henschel and the o.ches
tra, closing with Gade's massive
choral cantata, "Zion," with chorus, orches
tra and Mr. E. H. Dermitt, baritone solo
ist. Saturday evening will be devoted to
Mendelssohn s great oratorio, "Elijah," in
which the chorus and orchestra will be
aided by Mrs. Henschel, Miss Foresman,
Mr. Paul Zimmerman and Mr. Lamson.
It is altogether probable that the Mozart
Club will also arrange for a chamber music
matinee on Friday, Mar 13, at the club's
rooms, by the Kneisel quartet, which en
joys the same supremacy among strinsr quar
tets that is held among orchestras by
the body to' which these four artists
belong. "They are: Franz Kneisel, first
violin; L. Snecenski, second violin; Otto
Both, viola, and Alwin Schroeder, vio-
r lincetlo. In its own way such a perform
ance will be just as welcome, upon artistic
grounds, as that of the orchestra itself.
Considering also the probability that one
of those, uniquely delightful song recitals
by Mr. and Mrs. Henschel will be given
here about the same time, it will be seen
that this season need not be ashamed to
compare its finale with any of its prede
cessors.. Indeed, it is doubtful if,Pittsburg
has ever before had a bunch of concerts and
recitals so fully representative of the best
in musical art, and each. 30 clearly entitled
to its superlative among others of the
kind.
Mnslo From Under the Sen.
Among last night's London cablegram's
to The Dispatch came the following:
The negotiations which have been pro
ceeding for some time between D'Oyly
Carte and Signor Lago have now been
abandoned. There is no likelihood of the
Eoyal English Opera being reopened in
Knstland at present, and .Carte's mag
nificent building will continue to be
a white elephant upon his hands. - Sir
Arthur Sullivan's illness will also probably
retard for a long time the new comic opera
upon which he has been engaged. Some
portion of this work has already been com
pleted, but it is notatall improbable that the
work may have to be abandoned entirely.
Sir Arthur Sullivan's illness is of a mys
terious nature that has not np to the present
been understood.
Paderewski, who reached London on
Thursday morning, is much fatigued by hi
extensive tour. He is suffering from ex
treme nervous exhaustion and yester
day was unable to see anybody. He
bad arranged to witness Beerbohm
Tree's performance of "Hamlet" on
Thursday evening:, but his state
of health prevented him at the
last moment. So unsatisfactory is his con
dition, moreover, that he did not attempt to
Cleave London as previously arranged to
day, but he may he expected to start tor
Pans either to-morrow or on Monday. iis
stav in Paris, where, like Sarasate, he has
his home, will be regulated very much by
the state of his health. Pressure,
however, has been brought to bear
on him to return to London dur
ing the season, and it is quite
possible that he will give at least one re
cital at St. James Hall in Jane. The Pall
Mall Oazette cheerfully remarks to-day:
"The one remarkable thing about Jr. Pad
crewski since his return from America is
the great progress he has made in the En
glish tongue. He now speaks English with
comparative fluency and prides himself not
a little on this accomplishment. Fortu
nately, however, he has not caught the pe
culiar intonation and accent that disfigure
the mother tongne when spoken by Ameri
cans." Crotchets and Quaver.

Frasz Rummzl is giving in New Tork a
series of seven historical pianoforte recitals
with programmes of extraordiary variety
and rango. His lepertoire is really wonder
ful. Mb. Eitasuel Schxack has found Kittan
nlng too restricted a field for bis abilities
and enterprise and has removed to New
York City, wheie lie willgive pianoforte and

is back at comic opera again. Let the cob

last lecltal drew over $8,000, and the total le

written an opera, the libretto based upon an
Italian story by Lnmai tine, for which the
music will be furnished by an Enitlisli-com-poser."
