J2 THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23. 389a There was a gcod armful nf weddings during the past week which were, in point of fasbionablo importance, more or less worthy of note. One of the prettiest, which was characterized by quiet taste and absence of display, was that o! Miss Adelaide Paul son and Mr. .Taiics Aiken Gricr, Tuesday evening, at the North Presbyterian Church, .Allegheny. A quiet ceremony on "Wednesday united the lites of Mis-i Martha Austin, daughter of tbe late John Graham, of "Washington, Pa., and Mr. George JU Acheson, Fon of Judge Acheron, of Shadyside. Kev. James L. Itronnson, V. I)., officiated. After a trip East the couple will livo in a hand some new house close to the residence of the groom's father on Amberson avenue. A welcome addition to society in this city will be the bride of Mr. John J. Law rence, whose marriage was celebrated "Wednesday evening in Cincinnati. The bride, who i a Bister of Mrs. Durbin Home, was Miss Clara Louise Andrews, daugnter of Mrs. A. "W. Andrews. Bev. "Wiliam Turner, of Baltimore, brother-in-law of the groom, assisted by Kev. Frank "Woods, rector ol St. Paul's Church, Cincin nati, performed the ceremony. The bride is said to be a charming girl and comes from an old Cincinnati laniily. She is very popular in the most exclusive social set of that city. After a trip East, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence will live in a pretty honse at Shadyside, the gift of the groom's father, Mr. John J. Lawrence, one of Pittsburg's well-known citizens. The social event of the week at Roches ter was tbe marriage of Miss Laura Shal lenberger to the Bev. Earl Fenton Palmer, pastor of the Baptist Church at New Castle. Among the weddings of the coming week will be those of Miss Marion Giddings and Dr. J. AV. IJobcson, at Calvary Church, and that of Miss Laura Henrietta Hoene to Mr. Edward Hartje, in Trinity Lutheran Church, Allegheny. "What a robust scrap book the girl of the period must have if she saves all the pretty tbings that are said about her in newspa pers, say from the time of ner coming out ball until about a year or so after her mar riagel However much she may rave about being "Kept so constantly before the eyes of the public," there is not the slightest doubt but that she cuts out every line that u wnura aooat ner in tnose noma news papers" and arranges them carefully in a dookt, ana mat tne same boot iinds an hon ored place among her dearest treasures. First of all, there are innumerable sur mises among her friends as to when she will "come out" They have to De pub lished, and when she does come out a full account ot her appearance, disposition, ac comphshents, etc., has to be given. Then, of course, she is dined, teaed, Iuncheoned, theatered, carried abroad, perhaps, and back again, all of which receives due notice, and accorsiingly"'lh&-efssors are brought to bear upon the case. But not until she becomes engaged can she be said to make any great headway in her scrap book making. To cut a long storyshon, if she is a pop ular girl, by the time she has collected nil that is said about her irom the announce ment of her engagement until she is home lrom her welding trip and has received all over again the dinners, teas; etc.. it will be eeen that the fair maiden's book will have grown to a good healthy size. It is not ery startling news to say that times have changed since our grandmothers' days, but in those times a young woman's social career was given about four lines of "paid matter" in a newspaper. That was the notice of her marriage, and then her husband's name took up part of the space. Mf. "Wilson McCandless has rented her residence on Stockton avenue, Allegheny, and has taken up winter quarters at the Monongahela House. There will be more than a social interest centered in the Eiviera tea at tbe residence of Mrs. Joseph Dilworth next Thursday atternoon. That beautiful charity, the Children's Hospital, is to be benefited bv tbe entertainment, and where is the woman who dees not feel her heart stirred to the core by the thought of being able to do komething for tbe little sufferers who are taken care of in the bright, cheerful home on the reen hill on Forbes street? The Board of Mnnagen. hav issued a limited number of invitations, because ii would be impossible to receive all who would like to take part in the entertainment at Mrs. Dil worth'n mansion, commodious as it K There is no doubt that eery invitation will be used. Besides the pleasure of drinking a cup ot tea in congenial society, there will be that ol listening to a paper on "The Biviera," to be read by Mrs. "Strong Vin cent. The Misses Kirk, of Darrah street, Oak land, leave this week for New York City, where they will remain during the winter.

The Art Society is to be congratulated on having taken up the matter of thanking Mr. Carnegie once more for his munificent gilt of a public library to the city of Pitts-' burg. It is not 10 dc supposed that JNlr. Carnegie needed any assurance that Puts burg was gratelu! to him for his interest in her artistic welfare, but the action ot the Art Society in passing resolutions to that ctiect last week was a graceful act, notwith standing.

The Colonel looks exceedingly well' aud takes pleasuio in refen Ing to his recont tdurnt llotnestoadjo Owixo to the absence of Colonel Hudson in Chicago last week, no decision was made as to tho Bobb medal, which was turned over to him as referee in the recent shoot. As It is to bo contested for exclusively by members or the Fourteenth Regiment, the probabilities are that another day will be named for the contest. TniRTy-FivE qualifications mnst be put up by each company this year, or give excel lent reasons for not doing so. It U not claimed this rear that companies will be j mustered out for not getting the requisite ment of tho causes lor not so doing must accompany the report. The local militia made a very pretty dis play during the big parade last Friday, and while the ranks were a trifle thin, the men looked exceedingly neat and clean and matched ell. It was the first time the people have had a chance to see the new tactics exemplified since their adoption. Colonels Smith and Perchment should coin-pel-a larger attendance of their staffs on Buch occasions. The numerous calls for tho Notional Guards in various States during the past fix months to suppress violence has raised the troops wonder:ully in the estimation of the officials of tho regular army. General Scliotleld, in his recent report, strongly recommends the Government to furnish the militia with the latest pattern of small atmsanu bieech-londing rifled field guns. He also recommends the organization of tioops in those States and leriltories not now having militia organizations. Colcsel Osthacs, the General Inspector of Rifle Practice, lias issued an order closing the season or target practice lor this year on October 31. Colonel Osthaus proposes that no delay shall be experienced in his depart ment by tho tardiness of regiments in for waidlng their reports, and as a consequence tbe lists of qualided must tench his office by November 8, or the scores tailing to do so will be tin on n out. General inspectors must toport not later than Novum ber i. Tho number of mark.imen In the State this year will probably run considerably ahead of last jear, while the nnmber or sharpshooters will bo cnnsiderab.y less owing to the fact that the necessary score ha been raised to 15. Wedding Presents. It is a pernlexin question to many per sons on the marriage of thqir Iriends as to what they shall givo them. And tno ques tion is not easily answered by remaining at home thinking about it. Tlio light way to do is to go where a variety 01 goods 1 kept suitable for wedding gifts To such an establishment a visit was paid yesterday, and while the variety of -goods displajed 'is almoss endlessvyet the benuty, utility nnd appiopriuteuess of so many articles makes the question of choosing comparatively easy.

CERTAIN ADVERTISEMENTS FROM TRADE RIVALS, -n ik who reap & s the phenomenal s" successor in America, contain innuendoes against it, and appeal to the authority of Dr. SYDNEY RINGER, Professor cf Medicine at University College, London, Author cfthe Standard "Handbook of Therapeutics" . This eminent physician ACTUALLY writes as follows: "From the careful analyses of Professor Atttield and others, I am satisfied that Messrs. Van Houten's Cocoa is in no way injurious to health, and that it is decidedly more nutritious than other Cocoas. It is certainly "Pure" and highly digestible. ... The quotations in certain advertisements from my book on Therapeutics are quite mislead ing and cannot possibly apply to Van Houten's Cocoa." ' The false reflection on Van Houten's Cocoa it thus effectually repelled and the very au thority cited to tnjure it, has thereby been prompted to give it a very handsome testimonial, j.
