GOOD WORK OF THE ART SOCIETY
Cleans From the Fair Orient and Pictir-
esque Pittsburg.
GOSSIP FROM THE VARIOUS STUDIOS

The most important event in the annals
of local art was the opening to the public
on Wednesday last of the Art Society's per-
manent exhibition at the Academy of
Science and Art building, Fifth street, near
Penn avenue. For the first time in the
history Of Pittsburg it possesses tree per-
manent art gallery, where there will al
ways be succession of constantly chang
ing pictures by our best home artists, and
also such other works of art as the Society
may be able to obtain from artists and own
ers all over the country. At the reception
on Tuesday evening the gallery was given
an auspicious start, the rooms of the Art
Society being crowded to their utmost ex-
tent by the art patrons and best people Of
the city. The gallery was opened to the
public on Wednesday and despite the un-
favorableDess of the weather since then
there has been constant stream of visitors
to view the masterpieces of our local art
lists.
Here are 20 artists represented with about
go paintings and there is no lack of variety
OF subjects, there being even some dozen
pictures from the tar ORIENT The only
foreign artist represented in the collection,
it being the aim Of the society to make the
first exhibition principally the work of
local talent, is Jerome Ferris, Of PhIla-

wealth who wants the position for social

give credit tor what this office has done for
me. I was a lawyer of limited acquaintance
at Indianapolis when I came to this office,
and it has given me valuable insight to

of the place. The duties are exacting, in.
tricate, difficult, overwhelming and some.
times puzzling. The demand for appoint
ments is constant, while the desire Of q
Cabinet officer to oblige his party friends
and his inability to do 20 in all cases make
it exasperating and painful 1t is fact
that out of every hundred persons who
apply for positions, all of whom Secretary
would like to oblige, he can appoint but
about one.
IA Cabinet officer is also subjected to
social demands that make the cost of living
much greater than his salary. The onerous
duties thus imposed fall in like manner
upon his family, and after the novelty
wears of, are very wearying. Notwith-
standing the disadvantages, however. q
Cabinet position is not to be rejected or
avoided on considerations of personal COM
tort. It is place where, if you are faith
full to your trust, much satisfaction Will
come in the knowledge of well doing, and
you will. like all faithful public servants,
stand ever afterwards much higher in the
estimation of the people"
Amount Of Labor Involved.
Secretary Noble was busy listening to the
demands of one of the army of office
seekers when entered his office. He dis
posed of this business quickly and then
gave me his attention long enough to
epitomize his ideas of offce-holding.
"Does it pay?" he said. repeating my
question. mot financially. 1t costs a
Cabinet officer with a family at least 50 for
every dollar he receives to live in Wash
ington. Has it compensations? Well, it
offers many opportunities for doing good,
and there is a great deal of honor in it to
one who administers his Office properly.

Cabinet room adjoining the President'i
private office, and, as We walked over to
the Department of State, he talked freely
of the mutations of Office and what satisfac-
tion there was in Cabinet position.
Financial and Domestic Sacrifice.
"a Cabinet Office is alluring but it takes
a great deal of personal sacrifice, both
financially and domestically, to accept it, "
said Mr.. Foster. 'I suppose my connection
with President Harrison's Cabinet is Differ
ent from that of any other man, but the re-
suit is about the same. Ineither asked for

who appeared to be familiar with the work.

money. As soon as get out of the De-
partment of State, Mrs Foster and will

have long anticipated an extensive European
trip, and now that we have the time we will

that I went into the Cabinet OF President
Harrison. The work has given me an ex-
tensive insight to the diplomatic branch of
our Government, which is both intricate
and interesting, and have the satisfaction

the wish OF the President in rendering
personal service, but have given some Of

Charles Foster, Secretary OF the Treasury,
was in his Office deeply interested in
financial problems when 1 broached the
subject to him.
