PittSburg Heiress Becomes Count
 ess-A Brilliant Affair.
 PITTSBURG, April 1s3.-Amid scenes as impressive as lavish display of wealth. the dignity of society and the solemnity of the ritual of the Protest ant Episcopal church could provide the marriage of George Francis Alexander Seymour, the earl of Yarmouth, of England and Alice Cornelia Thaw of Pittsburg, daughter of the late Will liam Thaw, was solemnized in Calvary church.
 The weather was beautifully bright and just cool enough to be pleasant. The church was magnifcently deco rated for the occasion with palms, white hydrangias, white lilies and oth- CT potted plants, and the audience the most brilliant ever seen at a wedding in Pittsburg. The bride wore a mag nificent gown of ivory satin trimmed with duchesse lace made high necked and with a court train. She carried bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley and wore the fine string of pearls that was her brothers wedding gift. The bridegroom wore the conven- tional frock coat and light trousers.
 Josiah c. Thaw gave the bride away, and the Rev. Dr. w. l.. McEwan, as- sisted by the Rev. Dr. John H. Mcll- vaine, were the officiating clergymen. The ceremony was Episcopal
 Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie was her sisters matron of honor, with Miss Nancy Carnegie, Miss Martha Ferguson, Lady Jane Seymour, Miss Isabel May, Miss Elinor Wilson and Miss Mary Thaw Thompson as brides maids.
 After the church ceremony there was a reception at Lyndhurst, the Thaw residence, for 15O neople. The house was splendidly decorated and the col lection of gifts was most magnificent.
 The bride gave to her attendants diamond and amethyst bracelets. The newly welded couple left for a brief honeymoon trip before sailing for Eng land. Earl Yarmouths father, the Marquis of Hertford, and his family who came from England for the wed. ding, are to return to London at once.

SOCIETY, CLUB, THEATRE >>


provide a most enjoyable entertain ment. In taking jealousy for the theme of his play Mir Fitch has select ed a subject which appeals more or less to the experience of every man and woman. The delightful way in which Mrs Bloodgood depicts the ear her rising of this passion is extreme -ly amusing, and when she reaches the stronger feelings she exhibits a pow CT and strength which must be sur prise for all her admirers. Women, who are supposed to be more prone to unreasoning jealousy than are men, will find in this play a vast amount of amusement and very possibly a lesson that is worth considering. To men, sometimes the victims of unrea soning jealousy, this play will also be worthy of consideration. The first three acts of the piece are nearly all comic in tone, and this is nowhere more strong ly evidenced than in the extremely funny scene with the Cooks tourists. The cast. which numbers over thirty, includes Jessie Busley, Lucille Flaven, Robert Drouet, John w. Albaugh, .jr, and Charles Abbott. There is a very handsome scenic production and most elaborate furniture. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

Polls in "The Auctioneer," the play in which he made such an emphatic hit last season on Broadway. AS a delineator of a certain type of the He brew, such as has it's habitat on the lower east side of New York city, WarfeId has no rival. His humor is spontaneous and his 3pathos natural and effective Warfield's rise to the very top of the ladder has been rapid and almost phenomenal, but the gen. eral verdict has been that his success is based upon his sterling merits as an actor, and that in his case the god dess of fortune has made no mista. 6 in bestowing her smiles.

CHAUNCEY OLCOTT.

Seats will be placed on sale to-mOr- row for Chauncey Olcotts engagement in "Old Limerick Town" Thursday evening at Polis, and owing to the fame this play has won as being the best thing Olcott has yet had large demand is looked for. The play is from the pen of his manager, Augustus Pitou. For the play MT Olcott has composed four songs, ''The Voice of the Violet" ''Noreen Mayourneen, ,' ''The Limerick Girls,'' and ''Every Lit tie Dog Must Have His Day" MT Olcott is surrounded with a good com pany, and the scenery and appoint ments are said to be full of charm and beauty. The scenes show two glimpses of the river Shannon, one of the prettiest streams in Ireland The first shows the river in the distance and the second gives nearer view of the river and of the picturesque Falls of Doonas. The other two acts show a room in the home of the hero, Neil O'Brien. "Old Limerick Town tells of Neil's career as "blade'' in the ex- travagant set which ruled the town in 1835-36; of his fall from his high es- tate, through the loss of his fortune, and of the redemption of his name and fame by the upbuilding of the lace industry of Limerick and the introduc- ing into Ireland of that boon for the poor, the Monte de Piete. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

HIGH LIGHTS OF FASHION.
Especially as They Relate to the
 New Evemin& Gowns.

Especially as They Relate to the
 New Evening Gowns.
 For evening dress we cling to the soft charms of chiffon, and the spangle appears to have received permanent welcome. A charming white tulle lress lightly dotted with spangles has fringe of pink roses on the hem, and black net dress closely covered with ilyer spangles, lined with white, bears applications of white silk roses with xcellent effect.
 White silk roses on a white silk dress, lade in lace, with the petals elaborate stuffed to stand out from the ma >rial, are among prodigal fancies.
 Fringe is a noteworthy revival. Sil- CT bullion fringe decorates a dress of ale blue panne, with the skirt em- roidered in silver, while the sleeves -e formed of two squares of whtte llle, with silver tassel at each cor or, a novel sleeve, but yet decorative nd most becoming.
 The newest paillettes are those of the lother of pearl description, while the latinum ones are also recognized, lese latter looking particularly we'll I a thick raised design on back round of gray chiffon. ,.-
 A conspicuous note on the newest .odels is the sloping shoulder. This ltline is easily contrived, of course, 7 placing the sleeve below the shoul- 1T line, where appears some line of :mming, usually galloon or five or six WIS of gaugingS.
 Black evening dresses are likely to as much in demand as ever, espe- ally those that have the upper part .,yered with minute pailiettes, very lall at the waist and increasing in ze as they descend. A beautiful tulle lirt is thus treated.
 Black plaited muslin over white, with ilted founces of white lace and a tapery of lace in front, is quite charm E..
 Pink and silver, cerise and black and reen and white, with a trimming of ,sebuds-these are all favorite colors.

 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The Three Meers created a veritable sensation at the Jacques yesterday, just as 1t was predicted they would, in their startling wirewalking novelty that has been the wonder of Europe and many of our American cities as well. These Meers do not content themselves with the ordinary feats done by wire walkers, but introduce a number of entirely original and start ling tricks. The most sensational of all, however, Is when the wire is set to running after the style of 8 factory belt and one of the Meers runs in an opposite direction on the wire, going at top speed for several minutes and creating the most tremendous enthus- iasm among the spectators. 1t is a thoroughly original and fascinating novelty and ought to create the lfveli- est interest about town all the week. There are a number of other acts that make the show a success. Specially good is the comedy skit offered by the. Richard Colin company under the ti- tie Of "A Night of Trouble" and it won many a laugh from yesterdays audiences. John F. Clark, a clever joker and capital parody singer, won favor with his offering, and the Four De Lucas. European acrobats, showed some novel acrobatic feats. Others on the bill are the Folly Trio, McNa- mee in clay-modeling novelty, Rado and Bertram, and the vitagraph has a reproduction of "GulHver's Travels" :" Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: after noons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
