Shortly after O'Clock last evening Pres
ident Norcross, OF the Pittsburg Female
College, ushered into the chapel the thres
young ladies who were to take part in the
sOiree musicale, the director, Theodor Sal
mon, having preceded them. An audience
OF refinement and culture filled the chapel
and gave each of the performers a pleasing
reception upon their appearance, and after
ward enthusiastic encores. The lady inspir-
lag the most interest, as it her initial
appearance In the city, was Miss Blanche
Ncwcomb, the Berlin violinst. She was
third on the programme, and played BAL
lade and POlOnaise" by Vieuxtemps, with
Mr.. Salmon accompanying on the plan q.
Her handling of the bow was artistic anC

times drowned the violin almost entirely,
enough could be heard to establish Miss
NewCOmb as 4 talented musician. In ap-
pearance she Is prepossessing blonde of

in "Adagio from Third Suite" Ries, and
in Spanish Dance" Sarasate.

SOCIETY PLEASURES.
Annual Banquet of the Washington
Jefferson College Alumni
EVERY PROFESSION REPRESENTED
A Number of Interesting Musical Enter
tainments Last Evening.
The LITTLE SOCIAL DRIFT OF A DAY

The alumni of Washington and Jefferson
College banqueted at the Duquesne Club
House last night, and the 80 men who
gathered around the tables represent every
profession and business The genial Presi-
dent, Mr.. Chalfant, depends upon such
hard substances as iron and steel to produce
gold, while the Secretary, who sat at his
right, is willing TO wait until someone gets
sick and needs his attention that he may
gain wealth and honor. There were three
Judges, Messrs. SlagIe and Ewing, of Allie
gheny county, and Hazen, of Butler, a
couple of newspaper men, State Senator,
W. B. Dunlap, of Beaver. while the others
present are mainly doctors of divinity, or on
q good way to becoming such.
After a most excellent dinner had been
disposed of and the coffee and cigars were pro-
duced President Chalfant raped for order,
and in the style that has made him famous
during numerous banquets of the associa-
tion, introduced the speakers. Prof. w. c..
McClelland very glibly handled "Our
Mother Tongue" HIS witty points kept his
auditors in a good humor and there was
continued laughter throughout his address.
Rev. J. A Marquis, of Greensburg, told
Of the trials and tribulations OF the impe-
canious clergyman. One of his points was
that preacher would make an excellent
Indian agent because he has learned
diplomacy by successfully handling the
church choir, sewing circles and other war
like societies. He argued that such a man
could easily change a ghost dance into a
dance o praise 10 the Government.
George Welshous told of the power of the
press and the good chance for young college
N in that profession. He said that a
LAWYER reaches perhaps a score of people
daily, doctor decides the fate OF half a
dozen, and minister talks to 800 or so each
Sunday, while in Pittsburg three newspa-
pers furnish a chance for each reporter to
address 80, 600 people daily. There are now
two Washington and Jefferson men In that
profession in the city. DR.. T. L. Hazard
eulogized the medical profession after first
declaring that it was entirely unnecessary.
and Judge Ewing told how the lawyers
from the college are progressing.
Prof. J. a. Motitt President of the col
lege, told Of the hopes for success to come
A new gymnasium and commencement hall
are to be constructed. He also spoke of the
modern idea Of colleges giving a smattering
OF everything and not thorough kRowl-
eGge Of anything.
The election resulted in the reelection of
the old officers as follows: President Mr.
Chalfaut; Vice President, Mr.. Clark; Sec
Tslary, Nr. McClelland; Treasurer, Mr..
Stewart; Executive Committee, Messrs.
living, McClung, Hazard, Hampton and

THINKS NO MORE JUDGES NEEDED.
An Attorney Who Disagrees With Some of
His Legal Brethren.

Attorney n. W. Shaier is not altogether
convinced that another court is necessary in
this county, and he exhibits the present
trial lists in both Common Pleas courts as
evidence that some suits that have hung fire
for two or three years have not been pushed
up as rapidly as they might have been. 1t
was stated before the judiciary Committee
In Harrisburg Thursday. that it is not now
possible to get case to trial within a year
or a year and half of the time suit is
brought, but Mr.. Shafer shows the present
list of cases to be tried next week, and lists
for weeks back, to prove that suits entered
last summer have already been reached,
while others have been hanging fire ior two
years, and some of them were entered as far
back as 1877.
The trouble appears to be that some law
yers get cases on the issue docket sooner
than others. Mr.. Shaier thinks there might
be way devised to expedite business in the
courts, but he is of opinion that there are
enough courts to answer present needs.
