In day of dearth of news last week, an
imaginative writer perpetrateu a story an
nouncing that Lady Henry Somerset would
be in Pittsburg within few days. Lady
Henry ma have such an intention, but so
far she has kept it sedulously locked up in
her own bosom, Pittsburg being in a state of
DllSSfu1 nf honor
1t was owing to this statement that a
deputed representative of u Welsh society
on the Southside wpited yesterday upon the
w. c. t. U. at its mont thly meeting in the
Smithfield Church and offered in the name
of the society to defray half the expenses
OF the distinguished English woman's visit
Since a-Short time before Christmas Lady
Henry has not been in correspondence with
the Pittsburg branch OF the union. and of
her present plans there exists total ignor-
ance, excepting that she xpected to travel
in Cuba with her son early in the year. Peo-
pie desiring information that can be relied
upon Will save themselves great deal of
trouble in addressing Mrs. Andrew F. Bryce,
who will be the first in the city in possession
OF official intelligence of Lady HenTy's move
ments, as far as they Concern Pittsburg.
Miss ELoISE MAYHAM is expected in
Pittsburg this week, as she intends making
an address on Sunday evening to the Young
terest of the Students Volunteer Movement.
This is an association having its headquar-
ters in New York, and for its object the
creating OF a volunteer missionary spirit
among the colleges of the country. Con-
fined to men representatives, technically
called secretaries, until last year, women
have now entered the field. and, as in other
vocations, have proved at once adaptable
and useful. Formerly a branch OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, the Stu
dents Volunteer Movement has grown and
borne six-fold until now it is an independ-
ent organization.
The receptions of the Art Society, which
disappeared Off the face of the earth
through the exigencies of the holiday sea-
son, have reappeared. Invitations just
issued for the one hundred and twentieth
reception on Friday evening convey the
pleasant intelligence that 1t will be in part
an affair in honor of a former Pittsburg
artist, Mr.. Martin B. Leisser, of Munich, a
number of whose sketches and pictures will
be on view. The reception will be of like
nature to that rendered last spring to
Charles Stanley Reinhart. 1t is promised
