THE DtTKE ASD DUCHESS OP DEVONSHIRE.
One -would hardly think, to look at the
portrait of the beautiful woman at the head
of this column, that the living original is
60 years of age. She has had the advantage
of that quiet, unemotional life which is en
joyed by the British aristocracy mainly be
cause they are above all sordid cares, and
do not concern themselves with the details
of the work-a-day world in the least Thus
she looks probably 30 years less than she is.
The demands of society, great as they are
supposed to be, do not sap the vitality so
rabch, after all, when the votary takes all
- possible care of the health, and is always
studying the means of repairing the rav
ages of late hours and constant amusement.
This CO-year-old woman, who looks not
more than 30, is the Duchess of Devonshire,
she having lately married His Grace, the
Duke of Devonshire, whose portrait is also
shown. He is 59. but he looks a great deal
older than his wife. Men do not seem to
possess the secret of perpetual youth in the
tipper classes of Europe, which is an ex
planation of the fact that the Duke looks
his age and some years more. Her Grace
was formerly the Duchess of Manchester,
but her husband died in 1893, and she be
came a bride for the second time last week.
The Duke of Devonshire was long a friend
of the Dnke of Manchester and his Duch-
ess. The latter has figured many years
in the highest social circles of Paris and
Iondon.
Something unusual in weddings was seen
in the marriage of Miss Helen B. Gillespie
to Mr. Barker C. "Willson, last Thunday.
The officiating clergyman was a Methodist,
bat he used the ritual of the Episcopal
Church, with the ring. The bride is also a
Methodist, but she admires the wedding ser
vice of the Episcopalians, and it was at her
request that it was employed to make her a
wife.
The result of the lawn fete at the resi
dence of Hill Burgwin, Esq.., Hasell Hill,
Hazelwood, was even better than was an
ticipated by the ladies who managed the
entertainment. They cleared at least $500,
and think they made rather more, all of
which is to go toward furnishing the new
Church of the Good Shepherd, Hazelwood.
This is a splendid edifice, and the ladies in
tend that the furniture shall correspond.
"While it is a difficult matter to introduce
novel features into a lawn fete, the Hazel
wood ladies succeeded in doi.ig so last week.
There were many diSerenf kinds of amuse
ment, so that the guests were not allowed
. -to-become weary by a monotony of enter
tainment The weather was glorious. -The
air was cool enough to make light wraps
pleasant at night, but in the afternoon it
was as balmy as only a perfect autumn day
in the shelter of the Alleghenies can be.
The marriage of Miss Jennie W. Dixon,
daughter of Mr. John W. McElroy, to Mr.
William Reno is dated for Thursday even
ing, the 27th instant Bev. George
Hodges, D. D., will perform the ceremony
at the bride's borne, Walnut street, East
End. The wedding will be a very quiet
one.
That was a charming notion of one of the
brides of last week in this vicinity, to
decorate the whole house with the colors of
her college society. The colors were prettr
In themselves apple green and white and
draped by skillful hsads into garlands and
loops, they produced an effect of subdued
loveliness that provoked general 'admira
tion. The bride, Miss Delia M. Chester,
was a pretty picture herself, and her sur
roundings were in perfect harmony with
her own appearance. The bridegroom was
Itev. Charles Ii. Smith, of the First M. E.
Church, of Brownsville, and as he is the son
Of Bev. G W. Smith, of the Pittsburg
Climtian Advocate, he is well known in Pitts
burg, as is the bride, as well as in JIcKees
port, which has been her home hitherto.
Miss Minnie Anderson, daughter of Mr.
W. X. Anderson, will be wedded to Mr. H.
2C. Power next Wednesday evening. The
ceremony will be performed bv Bev.
George W. Chalfant, pastor of the Park
Avenue Presbyterian Church, at the home
of the bride's sister, Mrs. J. E. Means,
Xemington avenue, East End.
The engagement is announced of Augustus
P. Burgwin, Esq., to Miss Mildred Carlisle,
daughter of Mrs. James Mandeville Car
lisle, of "Washington, D. C.

All Off in a Bunch.
The first week of the season, as it may be
Justly called, has ended without dazzling
the eyes or over-taxing the receptive facili
ties of any theater-goers. If It is true that
no very brilliant theatrical animals were
entered for last week's handicap, the the
aters can with one exception congratulate
themselves upon getting away together. Of
course It may be urged that Mr. Kecne
should not be included as an element of a
mediocro mass, and it Is only right to admit
that the tragedian is in himself a consider
able power for artistlo work. He, however,
clouds-his on n brilliancy and disfigures the
Superb dramas which his repertoire includes
by entrusting important roles toactoisof
small ability and e-tperlence. Theie was
hardly a per.onnance last week at the Du
quesne Theater which was not more
or less maried by the incom
petency of a part of Mr. Keene's
support. I do not call attention to this fact
with the least desire to injuie Mr. Keene,
but rather with the faint hope that It may,
with tho accumulation of piotests which is
sure to pile up in his path as he proceeds,
induce him to consider how serious a mis
take he is making In not employing actors
of ability to assist him in bis landabie un
dertaking of keeping Shukespaie before
the pnblic. Mr. Keene is undonbtedly a
good enough actor to excite a far wider and
more appreciative lnteiest than he now
does, if people were not frightened away
from him by reports of the meager char
acter of much of his support. Of course,
Mr. Keene knows his own business best, and
will make a good living no doubt going on
in his present mt, but I honestly believe
that ho would make twice as Tnucli money
and find twice as much pleasuie in his pro
fession If he aimed a little higher in his pro
ductions. Llbrallty Pays thn Manager.
One of the best ways in the theatrical
business to make money is to spend money.
Mr. Vance has made a great deal of money
out of "The Limited Mail," and his dollars
that went into the piece taught a great many
othcis to come out. I mean that the policy
of mounting a piece liberally, getting the
best actors available for its interpretation,
and not expecting in a general way to ex
tract $1 out of the public for SO cents' worth
ot entertainment is pietty nearly always
profitable. After all it is only repeating In
a large way the simple adage that honesty Is
tbe best policy.
Money Thrown Away.
The way not to spend money is exempli
fied in the thing called "Telepbonla," which
was produced at the Opera House last week.
Somebody or other dropped a good many
dollars Into that large and not particularly
well-favored bag of Inanity, i It Is not easy
to see how nny sano person expects the pub
liotoieceive as an entertainment such a
crude and purposeless play as "Telephomo."
From a pecuniary point of view it could
only have one basis for success, namely,
pretty women. Without them such a show
becomes a bore as well as an offense against
art and good cense.
The Dnqnesne Theater.
One of the novelties or the season that has
lust begnn will bo produced at this house
this week in the shape of "Larry the Lord,"
an operatic comedy writton by Messrs. Scott
marble and Fred Maor. It is said, and to
some extent the Las tern press has borne out
the assertion, that the comedy is a most
amusing one, and it does seem probable to
expect that a piece in which sogood a come
dian as R. E. Graham fs the chler figure will
be fnll of laughter, at least Mr. Graham is
a quaint and original comedian, whose meth
ods are the most legitimate, I think, or any
of tbe actois who have made the humorous
side of comic opera a specialty. He is said
to have In this new piece Just tho sort of
cbaiacter which suited him. But the play
Is said to be Just as strong in its musical
numbers as in anything oUe, and one of the
vocal features of which much is expected is
tho new tiopicnl song composed by Mr. Gra
ham, which will be sung by him. The com
pany supporting Mr. Graham Includes a
number of good actors, including Miss
ilorule Weldon, The costumes provided are
said to be marvels in their way, and the
scenorv contains some novel electrical ef
fects as well as general spectacular beauty.
Altogher, it seems lair to say that "Larry
the Lord," has an inviting appearance.
Native Merit is Appreciated.
Mr. Mansfield has a clever article in the
Korth American Review, but as usual this
eccentric Vctor depends more upon a smart
appearance than a substance of truth. He
says, among other things, that tho native
American actor has no show here, being
crowded out by the foreign Imported article.
The Now York Mirror properly calls atten
tion to the Inaccuracy of this statement.
The reverse of what Mr. Mansfield says Is
getting to be so woll understood as a truth
on the other side that this season we shall
have less foreign talent within our borders
than for many years past I believe that tbe
public, that Is, I mean, tho mass of theater
goers who really make an actor's success
in this country, is absolutely impartial
about nationality, providing only that
the English language is spnkon. A
good actor, no matter where he was born,
secuies an audience us soon as he demon
strates that he can act, and have a play
whlcn moves, melts or amuses his auditors.
Supposing Edwin 'Booth were to appear
again) wuat foreign star could expect to
draw the gigantic orowds this greatest of all
tragedians, a thoroughbred American,
would attact? A manager of national repu
tation, an Englishman by birth, by the way,
remarked to me the other day that the
greatest money maklrg schema he knew
would be to bring Mary Anderson bactc to
the American stage. "The man who brings
her baok," said he -'will make an Immense
fortune." The experience or all managers.
In the last two years especially, has been
that standard American stars weie the most
profitable. ,
The Alvln Theater.
The popular farce comodians, Hallen and
Hart will begin a week's engagement at the
Alvin Theater to-morrow night They are
to bring forward for tho first time here an
entirely new play. It is said to be of a finer
grain and purpose than their familiar skit,
"Later On." There is promised the same
attractive songs and music, with more
abundant and natural humor and a consist
ent though airy, story upon which to hang
It all. The story of the piece pivots on tbe
helpless maneuv erings of a well-intentioned
old fellow, who Is bursting with reform no
tions. The immoral drift of the world at
large and his own little world In particular
keeps him In a ferment of unrest which leads
to a great many humorous complications.
He is the aggressive head of several law and
order leagues and reform societies, and Is
humorously bustling most of the time to
elevate and purify tbe local curront or
social affairs. Mr. Hart interprets this role,
which approaches strict comedy. Mr. Hal
len's partis that of an ultra-fashionable
spriT. whose years of discretion wonld not
make mnoh of a sum in arithmetic and
whose most serious thoughts of life are con
centrated upon clothes and the gontler sex.
In tho company are, besides the principal',
John Mo Wade, Molly Fuller, Fannie Blood
good, Al Wilson, Donald Harold, Emma
Seymour, Alloe Carle. Adelaide Crawford,
Mabel Nichols, Lulu Nichols, Harry Hilton
and several others of individual value.

It will be remembered probably Dy most
theater-goers by the scene in which a col
lision at sea Is depicted with startling real
ism, but it Is fair to say that "The Vendetta"
as a drama has the merit of a clearly told
story of deep, if ultra-sensational, interest.
The sconlo effects, whloh show many Eu
ropean towns, such as Monte Carlo ami Tou

Who doesn't know "The Night Owls?" A
variety season without them would be a pie
all crust, a landscape without water or
something equally uninteresting and mo
notonous. This year "The Nfght Owls"
promise to give a nnmber of novelties. Five
musical students are said tube as clever as
anv that ever came from Germany, and
they will be supplemented by no less than 40
good looking young women who are well
versed in the mysterious rites or song and
dance, ror which "The Night Owls" have
long been famous. Miss Pauline Markham
Is the fair captain or hl troup. A parade
and spectacular drill or the aforesaid young
women In the guise of Bed Hussars is an
other feature of the performance, which
will close with a new burlesque called "En
chantment." Davis' E Ion Masse.
This house offers this weok a strong bill.
At the rcqnest of nearly 100 medical experts
and many members of tbe Pittsburg Medi
cal College, Miss Virginia Knapp, the clever
mind reader, has been re-engaged. In the
curio hall will be found George Liable, tho
singer; Charles Duncan, well known as a
motto singer; the Vldocqnos, Edna and

are among the other features at the Cnrlo

Fordes and Carroll and Kane will provide
some musical and comedy features as well
as dancing.
Forapaugh's Circus Is Hsre.
On Monday and Tuesday Forepaugh's cir
cus will bo in Allegheny at the ao customed
stand. The quality of the circus is attested
hy Its Indorsement in the Eastern papers,
the following being a very few brief ex
tracts from an extensive notice in the
Boston daily iVetrK
"The Forepangh show opens with 'The
Fall of Nineveh,' by far the best yet of tho
circus shows. Itequals'TheFallorBabylon,'
nnd exceeds 'The Fall or Pompeii,' which
were stationary exhibitions. The ballet Is
superior to the much advertised spectacular
Sroductlons given in theaters. 'The Fall of
ineveh has a plot telling of the prophecy
of the destruction or tho City of Jonah, the
attack and victory of Sardanapalus, his
triumphal procession, chariot and horse
races in his honor, an Oriental slave market
and other things. The circus proper, which
follows, is bewildoring enough. There are
three rings and two stages, and to keep
one's eyes open for the Dost thing going on
keeps ono busy, as something is going on in
every one or them nearly all the time. Then
comes tl-o hippodrome races, which are ex
citing enough."
Harris' Theater.
The successful musical comedy , "Our Irish
Visitors," will be seen at this house this
week. The play has been rewritten, and is
said to ho better than ever. Sam J. Ryan
and Lottie Gilson head the company, sup
ported by some Clever people. Little
Johnnie McEeever, America's youngest
violinist, will introduce his artlstlcspeclalty.
All tho saylfigs, dialogue, dances and music
are said to beof the latest style, and the com
pany looks tar better than many seen at
more expensive houses this season.
A Young A ctress or Ability.
The rendering or "The Charity Ball" and
"The Wife" at the Alvin Theater during tho
past week has been alluded to critically al
ready in these columns. Mr. Frohman
ought to strengthen the company in one or
two places, and as bo saw the performance
on Friday night I guess he knows where the
weak spots are. About Miss Drake's bright
destiny there can be no doubt. She is the
best of the young leading women the last
season or two has brought forth. Ono thing
particularly happy about her Is that she is
free from mannorisms, and Is natural in al
most all she does In tone, in facial expres
sion, one of her strongest points, and
in gesture.
The Alvln's Latest Annex.
Manager Davis of the Alvln must have
been a Turk in some other stage period of
his existence, for his ideas of comfort and
elegance In the way of furniture border
upon the Oriental. Ton ought to see the
superb apartment aDove tue lODDy ue uas
fixed up for himself and Manager Hyde.
The walls and ceiling are decorated In high
relief molding, tinted In agreeably mild
colors. The carpats are velvet, the sort you
sink Into at every step; the desks polished
oak, and the chairs richly upholstered
affairs of great dignity. The wooden mantel
shelves are covered with brlo-a-brac or all
kinds: an ostrich's egg, Venetian glass,
Dresden china and heaven knows what.
It Is my pleasant duty to mention this
splendid addition to tho Alvin Theater, be
canse Mr. Davis with rare kindness to the
orttlmes abused crltlo bas devoted a table to
him near tho tluone itself a case of com
forting the ehastlser that the chastised is
seldom charitable enough to afford.

NEW ADVERTXSEHJSXTS.
Pure Food in Congress.,
A bill has been introduced into Congress requiring
baking powders containing ammonia or alum to be so
branded. The bill should pass ; then if people dose
themselves with "absolutely pure" ammonia or alum
when taking their meals, they will do it knowingly, not
ignorantly as they do now
Such a law would affect nearly every baking pow
der in the market except Cleveland's that does not
contain a particle of ammonia or alum. Besides,' every
ingredient of Cleveland's baking powder is plainly
printed on the label, information not given by other
manufacturers.

The piece is pretty and it is splendidly
mounted and has scored a snecess In New
York, where It wa3 first produced at tbe

Miss Flobexcx BranLETwill present her
comedy drama, "The Pay Train," at the
Grand Opera House following "The Ven

while the scenic effecs are most realistic.
Prominent among tho latter is a rallro id

"Ir you are going to back hotsox this sea

I Halles akd Habt, it is said, will introduce
a new character type to the stago in their
new piece, "The Idei," In the person of a
Blue Ridge Pcnnsylvnnlnn, whose rising in

fetching. Donald Harold interprets tho role,

and will comprise Hester's public 'penanco

letter.
The singing quality of the Hallen & Hart
performance bas always beon conspicuously
good. They appear to have made an honest
effort to provide good voices and captivat

been agreeably evident in their popular
skit, "Later On." Ii is to ho presumed that

The comedians, Hallen and nart, are
spreading abroad a lithograph which daint
ily hits off the college craze of the day for
things athletic, and some of its ludicrous ef
fects. The subjoet is called "A College
Course," and represents tho comedian in
three humorous attitudes or exorcising with
miniature clubs, it may be the now pieco
satirizes this current fad In some droll fash
ion, and if so it Is bound to be humorously
appreciated by the average reader and stu
dent. Mb. Wixliaji Hesrt Fbost, of the New
York Tribune, has received a letter from Mr.
Hugo Lang, closoly connected with the man
agement of the Passion Flay at Oberam
mergau, which ought to put a cork In Dame
Rumor's mouth as to ltspossibleappearance
at the World's Fair In Chicago. "You may
give the mostemphatlo denial to tho state
ment. Nothing could be further from the
Intentions and wishes or our people. To me
it seems almost amusing, ror I wonld as soon
believe to see our Kolel botng brought to
Chicago. Knowing, however, that outsiders
are not in the tame position to judge, and
that consequently such a statement would
find believers, and naturally arouse the In
dignation of friends or Oberammergau, I
shall thank you to contradict the rumor as
a groundless, and I should Say, malicious In
vention. Not belore 19-0, and nowhere else,
yon may rest assured, will the Oberam
mergauers again represent the Passion
Play." tor which wo may be thankful.
Mb. Dcslap, tho New York critic, writos
thus caustically about the attempt to make
dramatic capital out of Homestead's un
happy troubles: "Homestead in '9i" was
constructed by Frank Noreross, an actor
with money aud pluck enough to launch his
play. Ho tells the episodes enacted at
Homestead, but wanders into chaos almost
from the start, and canrot be accepted as a
plausible plea for the Homestead strikers.
The author has merely strung together a
series of incidents, picked up at haphazard
from misinformed or prejudiced newspaper
reports, and thoy do not form a plav that
will even draw top-heavy houses. Ono of
the amusing bits in this unique Labor play
is Hngh O'Donnell, audaciously brought ror
ward as a hero by John E. Kcllerd, who
neither looks, nor talks, nor acts like the
little halr-ollea labor agitator, but who fired
off quite as long speecbos. Tho stage man
agement was excellent, tho supers forming
themselves into mobs with great agility;
the scenery was also very good, but the dia
logue execrable."

A W0EK OF HAHY WEEKS.
The Bering Sea Controversy still In a Tan
Cled-Cp Mess.
Washington, Sept. 10. The secont
phase o'f the Bering Sea arbitration hai
been passed in safety, and closed yesterday
with an exchange of coses between tht
agents of the principals. The preparatiot
of the original case for the United Statei
has largely engaged the attention o
Secretary J. W. Foster. It embodies i
most minute historical collation of all tht
facts connected with the Kussian ownershii
of Alaska, so far as they bear upon the
question of maritime jurisdiction in Bering
bea and control of the seal fisheries. There
is also an exhaustive analysis of the cor
respondence early in the present centurj
between the Governments of Great Britain
and Russia, touching the question of juris
diction; a recital of the Kussian ukase,
reserving the waters of Bering Sea for the
exclusive use ot Russian fishermen and
sealers, and a strong argument to show that
the entire right of jurisdiction asserted by
Russia was acquired by the United Stater
under the terms of the treaty of cess'il
negotiated by Secretary Seward in 1867.
All the ammunition is not exhausted, ye
it may safely be assumed that the repre
sentatives of the United States "have re
served sufficient material to enable tbem to
make a strong counter case. This will bo
the next or third phase of the arbitration.
Senator Morgan, the only one of the two
United States arbitrators now in this coun
try, has been supplied with a copy of the
British case, and the representatives of the
