Wash your own china, ladles. That it thettry latest fashionable mandate from orer theocean. Don't think for a moment, though,that it is necessary, in order to obey the com-mand, to don a generous sized kitchen apronand simultaneously with the china make yourexit from the dining room, and remain inproximity with the delicate ware until it isready to return to its place in the closet.Jo, indeed. China cleansing under such cir-cumstances and with such environments wouldnever make a successful debut in polite so-ciety, as it has already done with its many mod-ifications. The fad comes from Germany, andon account of its novelty and commendablefeatures is receivine almost as much attentionat the hands ot society leaders as if it had atitle,

My attention was called to It in South Park,that charming little suburb of Chicago, whoseclaim to aristocracy is only exceeded by ex-clusive Kenwood or excruciatingly properEvanston. or Heavenston," as its residentsfondly call it. Several luncheons have beengiven there by recently returned tourists, atwhich not only the hostess and ber assistantsunited in cleansing the pretty ware with whichthey had been served, bat each lady of theparty was invited to handle the tea towels.

And such tea towels as are used in theprocess knotted, fringedbeauties that excite pity as well as admirationwhen their shimmering satin damask surface isdampened br contact with the fragile andlovely but till dripping china, but that is oneof the commendable features hitherto referredto.as the hostess is thus allowed an opportunityof displaying any amount of her pretty linen;and the aprons worn by the ladies and furnishedby the hostess are the daintiest' little creationsimaginable another commendable feature asthe possessor of aprons that are "perfectlovesr is thus given the most excellent oppor-tunity of proclaiming herself an apron queen...

Provided with aprons and tea towels theladies men are never included in a luncheonor tea where china cleaning is to be the sequel

gather round an exquisite solid brass rack,which is placed in one corner of the diningroom, and upon which the aprons and towelshave reposed during the luncbeon or tea.Solid silver vessels filled with moderately warm

" water are then placed upon the rack, whosegrooved rubber covering forms a perfectly safeplace to drain the Dresden or donlton after ithas been tenderly and carefully baptized in the Jwaters cy ine Hostess.. After which the pretty towels aud the pret-tier ladles dry the different pieces, and theyare placed in the china closet without oncepassing through the hands uf servants, thuspreventing said servants from gratifying theiracknowledged penchant for "crushed china,"and prolonging the lite of this exquisite cupand saucer, or that adorable plate, which is themost commendable feature of the importa-tion. .

Beside looking after their china on stateoccasions Chicago society is riding the safety;in fact, the popular boulevards are perpetualmotion, as the wheels of every variety gospinning along carrying the youth, beauty andwealth of the city. And the costumes worn bythe riders are wonderfully beautiful, severelyplain, gorgeously fantastic and charminglyfitr.ple, in every conceivable color and texture.The riders are blondes, brunettes, large,small, graceful, awkward, experts and novices,some of them bearing the scars of their ama-teurishness npon tbctr noses or foreheads,which court plaster does not entirely screenfrom view, but which apparently dues not in-

terfere in any way with the enjoyment of theresults nf their earliest efforts.

And the fair riders as well as those of thesterner sex utilizes their wheels as a method oflocomotion in viewing all the unoccupied realestate in and surronndlng the city, in whichthey invest their spare cash with the sanguineexpectation that it will bo doubled and trebledby the World's Fair boom that has already sothoroughly aroused speculators all over thecity and succeeded in making real estatecranks ont of so many people, and among themsome ladies who have opened real estate officesand are building castles of vast magnitudeupon the expected returns of their business...

The World's Fair, considering it does notmaterialize (if even in Chicago) until '93 be-

comes really monotonous as a continned topicot conversation, and ouo really longs to viewsome spot that has not been decorated withpictures or lettering regarding it. or meet someperson ot Hip van Winnie tendencies that willnt assail you with accounts of the proposedsplendor or retail some remarkable propertytransfer that netted 100 per cent all on accountof the fair.

The parks even, in their decorations, bespeakthe triumph over New York and vast worldscomposed of the plant variety known as "henand chickens" boom up trom magnificent floralsuoports and in brilliant flowers announce"World's Fair '93." You, who are makingyour calculations to go, nowever, and spend afew weeks with some dearly loved friend dur-ing the time of the celebration, be sdre thatthe dearly loved friend is longing for your com-ing and has not done as so many are doing inanticipation nf the influx of their loved friends

broken up housekeeping and engaged roomsand board.

Indeed, such is a fact, and to a g In-dividual it is a very wise proceeding for peoplewho have an extended acquaintance through-out the country, as it leaves them priviledgedto entertain those whom they especially desireto have with them without compelling them tokeep a hotel for the benefit of their numerousacquaintances. As one dear little lady said tome: "You see, I have a folding bed and onoguest room in our suite of apartments, and IKill be ablelo have my most intimate friendswith me. but will not have accommodations forthe many whose society would make the seasona very wearisome one for me."

The report that the Department of Georgiahad, acting for the national body, purchasedthe Andersonville stockade, has caused someguessing on the part of Pittsburg and Alle-gheny comrades as to what the Grand Army isgoing to do with the historic place if the reportis true. Many of the comrades were at a lossto account for the purchase, and wondered towhat use the pen could be put.

The guess of one comrade was probably notfar from the facts. As all the posts are aware,some of the Southern departments have aheavy burden upon their shoulders In the shapeof the annual docoration of thousandsof gravesof Union dead. Annual appeals for funds toassist in this work are made to the Northerndepartments. The comrade mentioned aboveis of the opinion that the prison is to be turnedinto a source of revenue in order to help In de-

fraying the expenses of Deroration Day in theSoutb.tbuslna measure relieving the Northernposts, which need all the money they can getand more for the purposes of charity.

Reception by Mra. Locnn.Department Commander Denniston is busily

engaged in arranging matters for tbe Benefitnext Saturday for tbe West Penn Hospital, ofwhich he is one of the Board of Managers.There will likely be many Grand Army men atthe benefit. A its meeting Thursday eveningPost 157 decided to purchase 60 tickets at SI apiece and sell them among the members at 60cents. Thus many will be enabled to go whomight not be able to pay the lull price, themilitary display will' begin at the Expositiongrounds at 3 o'clock and continue for probablytwo hours. The concert in the evening atMechanical Hall by tne famous Marine Bandwill be a rare treat. It was, ot course, extremely difficult to secure the great band lorthis occasion (a Cabinet meeting was necessarybefore the requisite order could be secured)and Major Denniston reports that it wouldhave been much more difficult were it not thatthe West Penn Hospital takes care, withoutcharge, of a number of sick veterans.

The presence of the wife of the first Com-mander in Chief of the Grand Army, Mrs. Gen-eral John A. Logan, will interest the comradesgenerally. During the intermission on Satur-day night's programme she will present to theveterans of the hospital on behalf of JamesGrove a beantitul American flag, which willbe received on behalf of tbe old soldiers byPast Department Commander Thomas J. Stew-art. After the concert Mrs. Logan will hold areception in the Exposition building parlor,which will be handsomely decorated under di-

rection of Major Denniston.Aguard of honor composed of veterans in

full Grand Army uniform will attend thewidow of the illustrious Logan.

nnd the Grant Monument.This reproduced message, which was sent to

the daily press last week, will be read with in-

terest by all old sojdiers and tbeir friends:"On the night before the unveiling of the Lee

statue, a score or more of off-

icers were sitting iu the Westmoreland Club atRichmond. One of them, now a resident ofNew York City, spoke of the resolution offeredby Representative Flower, asking Congress togive 250,000 toward building the monumentthat New York City promised to erect to Gen-eral Grant. Tbe speaker did not approve ofthe resolution, bnt said tbat if New York hasnot raised the money for the monument beforetbe 1st of September he intended,to start a sub-scription of Southern men and 'bead it with520.000 for the purpose ot erecting tho monu-ment. There was a momentary silence, when aleading rose and said: 'I agree to add5.000 to your subscription.' Then in quick

succession others rose and pledged various sumsuntil within a tew minutes S50.000 had been thusraised."

Comrade Lrmon, of Post 157. Assaulted,The comrades of Post 157 are talking of one

of their members, who came to grief one daylast wee.'; at the bands of a cowardly fellowworkman. Comrade Tom Lemon is a driverfor tbe wholesale house of Joseph Home & Co.

A colored man is also a drivor for the samefirm. Tbe story goes that Comrade Lemon,who is a quiet, d man, asked tbecolored man to drive his wagon a short piece upthe allcv back of tbe store and allow him topass with his team. The colored man demurredand there were some words. It finally resultedin Lemon being approached from behind andassaulted by tbe otber driver. A boulder wasused in tbe attack, and tbe unfortunate com-rade was jumped upon. He will not be able toleave his homo for at least a week in conse-quence. His comrades say he was entirelywithout blame in the matter. He was uncon-scious for several hours after the attack. Asbe Is an excellent comrade, this misfortunecauses considerable talk In tbe post.

A Grateful Sight to the Veterans.A gratifying feature of the observance of last

Memorial Day was the increased interest takenin the services by the school children. This iscommendable, bath on the part of the risinggeneration itself and on the teachers andprincipals. The growing interest was probablymore manifest on last Memorial Day than onany previous one. It is a source of great com-fort to tbe old soldiers who are steadily march-ing on to honored graves, being taken as an in-

dication of the future interest in MemorialDay, an interest that will not die out with thedeath of the last Union veteran.

Post 157 was very well pleased with the turn-out of the children of tbe Sobo School.

BrlUSfl AND PALETTE.

Miss Ella Barnes has a rather effectiveoil portrait of hor brother on view at Young's.

Mb. & A. Poole's painting. "On the LowerPotomac," was sold by Boyd & Co. during theweek.

About 20 oil paintings and a large numberof water colors were disposed of from tbeGross t Lane collection during the time it hasbeen in this city, the prices ranging up to $8C0

eacb.The landscape by Mr. Harvey Joiner, ex-

hibited at Boyd's, hardly shows as much meritas a similar work by tbe same artist noted ashort time ago. Tbe composition is of muchtbe same character, and the handling is no bet-ter, while the color ia greatly inferior.

The portrait shown at Young's of Mrs.Donnelly, by Mr. Clarence Johns, recalls someof the clever works which tbat artist producedin former times, when he followed art moreassiduously tban he has done of late years.It is regarded as a striking likeness, and showssome excellent touches both in the matter ofcolor and handling.

There is a beautiful little "Hetzel" on exhi-bition at Gillespie's, a small and simply bandiedstudy of rocks, such a collection of roundedbouluers as frequently forms the bed of amountain torrent. As a backgroundsome darktrees raise their mantel of rich green, which, onthe left of tbe picture, is relieved by a gleam ofsunlight that has penetrated to tbe depths otthis forest glade. In color, this Is one of Mr.Hetzel's truthful transcripts of nature; it issuch color as is seen on a bright, sunny morn-ing after a night of rain, and its bright tints arestrong by reason of their contrast with the darkmasses of shade. Tbe entire work has beencarefully and conscientiously handled and can-not fail to please those who desire to feel thetouch of nature rather than art.

Botd & Co. exhibit a fine example of Het-zel's large landscape work. Except as regardscomposition it does not differ materially fromotber works by tbe same artist, but in this onerespect it has a charming freshness that affectsone like a view of a beautiful and unfamiliarscene. The subject is a clear space in themidst of a wood through which a road windsaway into the distance, where a glimpse is af-forded of some wooded hills. To the right ofthe road a toot path leads in among the treesthrough tbe scant undergrowth. In the fore-ground is clearly depicted all the mass of de-

tail characteristic ot Pennsylvania forest scen-ery; decaying stumps of trees, twisted andgnarled branches, fallen leaves, shrubbery,grass and herbage are all shown with truth andfidelity to nature.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NewYorE is one of tbe most important institutionsof its class in tbe country, but its treasureshave been for the most part bidden from tbeview of tbe very persons who stand most inneed of the institutiou which a sight of themaffords. Being open only for a few hours dur-ing the day, at a time when the average man isengaged in the necessary work of earning hisliving, the museum is familiar to but a smallminority ot those who might have benefited byits inuuence. lsui now it is to oe opened onTuesday and Saturday evenings, as the man-agement has arranged for a complete system ofelectric lighting In connection with the Prinkmethod of redectors. This is a move In theright direction. No race of people under thesun take less recreation than the Americans,and none stand in greater need of it; and thereis no better recreation tban an hour or twospent in a gallery of art, or a museum of curi-osities. This is a most reflued pleasure, and in-

duces a healthful mental activity while per-mitting an almost perfect rest of those facul-ties which are exerted most in the ordinaryaffairs of life. Very liberal art patrons are tobe found among tbe wealthier classes of theAmerican people, but there is room for agreater extension of artistic taste among themasses oi our ousy populace.

"A Modern Fishing Otjtitt" is Mr. A. F.King's latest addition current art, that is, behas recently produced a painting to which hehas given this title. The subject is a still-lif-

consisting of such objects as a rod and line, apopular deck, including chips, a large stonejug marked "bait," a paper bag containinglemons, a corn-co- b pipe, tobacco, tin cup, etc.These articles have been skillfully arranged,forming a pleasing composition; they are welldrawn, and with some tew exceptions, are cor-rect in color. The paper around the lemonsshow faulty execution, the modeling beingeffected by means of color in place of light andshade; it is also too obtrusively evident thatthe glistening surface of the tin cup has beenproduced by a play of black and wnite paint.Aside from these features the picture must berated as a highly creditable production; thereis, it is true, a certain hardness and formalityabout the work, but that is a quality almostinseparable from such a subject when handlediu a style which aims at reali-- together with acomplete finish nf detail. The picture mighthave been broadly handled, with only one ortwo of tho more prominent objects carefullydelineated, and the balance merely suggestedwith a few free bold touches, it would thenpresent a softness and feeling that it nowlacks, but these two methods of painting areradically different; they are both good art, andit is only a matter of Individual choice which ispreferred. It is plain that Mr. King is stillnrogressing. as this picture has some nolnts inwhich it is superior to anything of the kindthat he has heretofore shown.

Six hundred dollars worth of pictures weresold at the Hacke gallery during the week,which is doing very well, indeed, when all thecircumstances are taken Into consideration!The gallery is as yet by no means filled, but alarge lot of paintings are expected to arrive atan early date. The exhibition of works bylocal artists arouses a considerable degree ofinterest, permitting, as it does, a comparison oftheir individualities and peculiarities. Somenew pictures have been received of which tbemost striking, perhaps, is that by E. A. Poole,entitled "A Virginia Peach Orchard." Thesubject represents a fine landscape, toned in aneffect of soft grey with subdued greens in theforeground from which also rises a long row otpeach trees in bloom. Tbis is rather a daringpicture as regards its scheme of color. Mr.Poole's painting cannot he regarded as an un-qualified success, but nevertheless be deservesgreat credit. He has found it difficult to recon-cile tbe peculiar pink tint of the blossomswhich cover tbe foeground trees with tbe quiettones of tbe landscape, but the effect is verynovel and so is possessed of a peculiar charm.A second picture by the same artist is called"Apple Bloom." This is a hamonious ar-rangement of quiet coloring", tbe mass ofDioBsoms uii uio wcca uciug interspersed withgreen which enables the artist to more easilypreserve a balance of effect than in tbe firstmentioned picture. Among other worksshown is a small marine by J. L. France, and astudy head by C. 8. Kllpatrick. Among thevisitors to the gallery on Friday last were sev-eral foreigners, unusually well informed re-garding art and artists, particularly European,who by some strange coincidence cbanced todrop into tbe gallery one after another.

Grand Opeba Housi Bartholomew's HorsesHARBif Theater Ml Ethel TuckerWorld's Mcsitrat Curiosities, Etc

The above are the theatrical attractions forbis week.

Tbe only theaters open this week are thoGrand Opera House and Harris.,

A unique entertainment will be given at tbeGrand Opera House this week by Prof. GeorgeBartholomew and bis school of 24 educatedhorses, that have been meeting with great suc-cess for over eight years throughout the coun-try. It wilt be tbeir first appearance in tbiscity. Performances will be given each eveningand Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur-day afternoons at 2:30. Prof. Bartholomew il-

lustrates the power which the educated humanmind can exercise over the brute creation, aswell as tbe degree to which tbe latter can beeducated. His horses give a performance infour acts with special scenery, and are directedentirely by spoken language. The horse, whichis naturally an intelligent beast, has been edu-cated by bim, until it seems endowed with al-

most human faculties and perceptions. Theirreputation has preceded them, as the advancesale of seats is unusually large aud a very suc-cessful engagement it anticipated.

The Pniladelpbia Preis said of this perform-ance: Pror. George Bartholomew at the GrandOpera House last night illustrated to an im-mense audience the power which the educatedhuman mind can exercise over the brute crea-tion, as well as tbe degree to which the lattercan be trained and educated.

His 24 handsome horses cave a nerformancein four acts, and tbe number of feats whichthey perform is remarkable. The horse, whichis naturally an intelligent beast, seems to bavebeen educated by bim until it seems endowedwith almost human faculties and perceptions.

The only requisite they apparently lack is tbepower of speech. They are capable of doingalmost anything and understand every word ofcommand and go through their several partswith willingness and apparent enjoyment..

At Harris' Theater there is an attraction thisweek which may draw big houses. The plays,'The Boy Scout" and Boy Detective" arethe best comprised in N. S. Wood's extensiverepertoire. Miss Ethel Tucker, who has es-

tablished herself as a favorite here, will ap-pear in tbe title roles, which she renders in amanner calculated to make an audience enthu-siastic Tbe company is one of superiormerit. "The Boy Scout" will be given Mon-day, Tuesday and Wednesday, and "The BoyDetective" for the balance of the week....

Mr. Dunlop writes to TnE Dispatch: OnMay 21 Henry Arthur Jone3 produced anewand original play at the Shaftesbury Tbeater,London, called "Judah," which, under tbe.management of Mr. E. S. Willard, assisted byMiss Oiga Brandon and an unusually compe-tent company, made an immenso success witha representative first night London audience,composed entirely of professional newspapercritics, irienas ana critics oi mopit and gallery. Some months ago, at the Gar-ric- k

Theater, nnder the management of one ofthe most popular actor managers in England,viz., Mr. John Hare, "La Tosca" was produced.Practically the same audience was present onboth occasions, and practically the same unan-imous verdict of success was recorded; indeedsome of the most eminent of the London criticswent out of their way to find an adjective toqualify the word "triumph." In fact this

figured so conscicuouslv tnrouchtbe various notices of "La Tosca." that eventhe compositors became a trifle demoralized,and picked up a few "caps" in setting tbe copyof tbe criticisms. This play was produced withall the prestige andfollowingof Mr. John Hare,together with a company wbich was composedalmost entirely of stars, and with a magnifi-cence of stage setting which has seldom beenbeaten, even if equaled. What was the result?The British public refused to take their wivesand daughters to see a play which wa3 revolt-ing in its plot, and after a few brief weeks itwas withdrawn in obedience to the stern dic-tates of tbe box office. Mr. Jones' play isequally magnificently mounted; It is perfectlyplayed. Mr. Willard has seldom done any-thing better, and Miss Brandon has elevatedherself by acclamation into the very front rankof English speaking actresses,but will "Plebs."

tbe common people take tbeir wives auddaughters ti witness a young girl goingtbrougb tbe agonies on tbe stage of absolutestarvation, with accompanying Intense simula-tion of physical pain lasting through a wholeactT lithe aforesaid "Plebs." will accept tbisrevolting spectacle.then "Judab" will be a goldmine; If not, a magnificent philosophical, psy-chological study will have been produced at anenormous cost of treasure and talent to no

so far as tbe box office of the Sbaf tes-ur- y

Tbeater is concerned. Once more letAmerican managers recall tbe unprecedentedenthusiastic notices of "La Tosca" in London,and let tbem remember its fate...

Two entertainments tbat promises to be ofunnsual interest, will be given next Saturdayafternoon and evening, for tho benefit of tbeWest Penn Hospital. The first at 3 P. M., Sat-urday, will be a military fete and drill at Expo-sition Park, Allegheny. It will consist of drills,field practice, etc.. by members of tbe Four-teenth and Eighteenth Regiments and BatteryB. Governor Beaver and staff. Generals Wileyand Hastings are billed to be present.

In the evening a concert will be given inMechanical Hall by tbe United States MarineBand of 46 pieces and under tbe leadership ofJohn P. Lonsa. With the reputation of theUnited States Marine Band as a finished mu-sical organization a treat is looked forward to.A number of vocalists will assist at the con-cert. During tbe intermissions of tbe concertMrs. General John A. Logan will present a flagto the hospital for the Veterans' Gate.

Since Whispers.Otis Bkinneb will be Margaret Mather's

leading man uext season,

Gilmobe's Band will give two concerts hereJuly 28 at the Old City Hall.

C. H. Hott's latest play will be called "ATrip to Chinatown." Mr. Hoyt is now at hissummer home, Cbarlestown, N. H.

Pauline Haix and ber new comic operacompany opens next season at Prof. Herr-mann's new Gaiety Theater in September.

A OIBI. came to the box office of the Broad-way Theater the other day and asked for Mr.De Wolf Honper. In explanation of the re-quest she said; 'i used to know him when hewas an actor.

Young Jim Dorr's opera venture at theAcademy in New York come to an abrupt endyesterday. Mr. Duff was suddenly called toEurope, and as no one could possibly All hisplace, the season was ended.

Madame Sarah Bernhardt will not beable to make her contemplated tour in France,although she is reported to be recovering fromthe affection of the knee joints she is said tobave sustained iu posing in armor as Joan of

THE Theatrical Social Clnb Al give a moon-light excursion on Tuesday evening, June 10,on the steamer City of Pittsburg. There willbe many excellent musical features by theMozart Orchestra, and a display of fireworks isalso promised.

"The Shatchen" will probably not go onthe road next season, owing to its comparativefailure, and to the iact .that when the play wasboohed it was with tbe understanding that Mr,L,eivls Morrison was in tho cast. When it wasfound that it was never Mr. Morrison's inten-tion to go out with it tbe dates were canceled.

Sio. Giovanni'Emanubl, a famous Italianactor, will visit America during the season of1891-'8- under the management of' Sic DeVivo. His repertoire will be "King Lear"

Nero," "Hamlet," "The Bastard." "Alciril-ade- sMercader." and "Othello." His leading

lady will be SIgnora Verginla Relter, who isnow. sharing honors with bim at the BalboTheater, in Turin, Italy.

The manager of the Ostend Theater, Berlin,produced a melodrama recently, entitled "ThoExecutioner ot Berlin," and for tbe creation oftbe title role was satisfied with n j less a per-sonage than the Government executioner him-self, who every nigut appeared before largeand curious audiences, Unhappily, however,for tbe manager, his goose with tbe goldeneggs was promptly kilieabythe authorities,who forbade their cheerful offlolal to furtherappear.

THE editor of London weekly has recently

consulted Its readers as to whom they consid-- I

ered tbe best dramatist now writing for tbe I

English stage. Tbe resnlt was that Sydney!Grundy was declared the most popular! "ln '0.824 votes: A. W. Pinero came leXtWlth 7,107,then G. R. Sims with 7,400, Robert Buchananwith 4,905. and Henry Arthnr Jones with 4,741Dion Bouclcault received 665 votes, WilsoiiBarrett 413, William Gillette 42 and T. Craven22. But tills sort of statistics really possessesno value.

W. J. SCANLAN, tbe Irish comedian, hasresented his wife with a $23,000 house, which

S e recently purchased in Ninety-secon-d street.New York. Inasmuch as Mrs. Scanlan was al-

ready the possessor of two or three bouses pre-sented to her by her husband, she is now one oftbe wealthiest women in tbe profession. Mrs.Scanlan leases her houses and thus derives asteady income from them. Another enviablosource of revenue at ber command is to befound in the royalties from her husband'ssongs, ail of which he gives to ber uncondi-tionally.

The Mirror says wisely: Mr. Irving, inter-viewed tbe otber day, said that In thinkingabout America be thinks about his friends. Hedoes not tbink about "some people" who"spoke unkindly" of his work. The troublewith Mr. Irving, as with many actors less con-spicuous and less favored by fortune, is tbat hadoes not tbink enough of his critics. The van-ity or weakness that ascribes an adverse opin-ion to personal antipathy, and that explains awholesome but unpleasmg criticism on tbeground of prejudice Is common among profes-sionals who have bad examples in tbeir leaders.
