THE Joint efforts last night of such people
as Miss Bertha Kaderly, Miss Blanche New
comb and Mr.. Beveridge Webster formed a
most delightful Introduction to the ANIMAL
meeting of the Art Society and also its
closing reception for the year. Mr.. Webster
is too much a feature of musical circles here
to require other allusion than the presenta-
ton of his name. Miss Kaderly might he
described as young in the knowledge OF the
Pittsburg public and vet old in its affections.
When she appeared on the stage in a pretty
sea green frock with an effective nosegay of
flowers fastened in her bodice, there was u
greeting somewhat surprising to those who
are acquainted with the critical society
upOn which she was bowling.
The programme opened by Miss kaderly's
singing of Massenet's "Elegy" to Mrs. Web
sters accompaniment, vt, and q violin obligatO
by Miss Newcomb. TIE singers carried the
piece through with a depth of feeling COM
mensurate to the subject, displaying some
fine notes in the lower register and deliver
ing them with both ease and power A
pleasing variation was given in the next
number, Reinecke's "l:alian Dance Song"
when an entirely different style vas pre-
sented with great fincssc and delicacy.
Miss Newcomb, in her appearance as a
soloist. was greeted warmly. and certainly
made most pretty picture In her simple
white gown and rather classical face, as she
rested the violin against her chin.
violin and piano, opus 8, Allegro con brio.
though it was pla red with a good deal of in
telligence, Miss Newcomb was scarcely so
pleasing as in the second, the allesretto
quasi andantino.
This was marred, or rather, would have
been mnrrcd, only for the graceful manner
in which it was carried off by an eXasper-
ating little inc;dent-the sudden breaking
of q string in the midst of q particularly
striking passage. The young lady, making
a little disgusted moul, held up the violin in
full view of the audience, who, hearing the
snap, fully realized the situation, and then
made quick departure. Ten minutes suf-
feed to remedy the accident, and the pro-
gramme was finished. concluding with
another selection by Miss Kaderly.. Mr..
Webster had a superb instrument, and more
than justified the possession of it by his
rendfsions as an accomDantst and in the
sonata. An interesting feature of the even
ing was the examination of the plans in de-
tail for the Carnegie Library.
ALL through the afternoon and evening
of yesterday a continuous throng OF people
lined the corridors in the new addition to
the Allegheny General Hospital. The major-
ity of those present were visitors and had
come not only to take part in the house
warming ceremonies, but to inspect the new
building and the many wonders it contained
The guests were met by a corps of attend
ants and thoroughly initiated into the
mysteries of the recently completed and
much needed annex. The first place visited
W as the operating room Tor the gynaecolo2i-
cal department, upon the third floor
partment attached, no efforts nor expense
we're spared to make it complete. The
floors and sides of the room are of polished
marble which rives the interior an elegant
appearance. To one side is an improved
range for sterilizing the Instruments and
towels, and Immediately adjoining it is q
series OF stationary mable washstands with

polished brass boiler will supply the plysi-
clans with hot water, and the operating
table is of a late improved pattern. Four
windows are conspicuous for their unusual
height and width, and owing to the facilities
contained the apartments are so light that
the most difficult operation can be per-
formed with ease.
On the same floor arc three wards: two Of
which are devoted to the maternity depart
ment On the second floor there are two
large public wards and three rooms for the
use OF private patients. These are also COM
plete in every detail and present neat and
handsome appearance. On the lower floor
there are four wards utilized by Surgeon
Lippincott for the accommodation of pa
tients suffering with diseases of the eve and
ear. After making the rounds of the new
addition to The hospital, the guests were in
vited to partake o. luncheon. All seemed
willing to concede that the Allegheny Cen
eral Hospital was, with its new addition, an
institution worthy of the city to which it
belongs.
