K XEW fad—BEAU BBUMMELL AND
HOW A SOUTHKKX GIRL HELPED
SEW YORK TO SEE IT—“A
1*00R RELATION" COM
ING SOUTH.
Xew York, October 23.—[Special.]—
\t this moment the fashionable girls of
w York, who possess well supplied jewel
boxes, are nursing the grudge against the
outli. And this on account of one fair
southern belle who has introduced among
them a strange fashion, one that has no
prototype in liistory. This is to discard
everything in the way of jewelry—all rings
for lingers and ears, all bracelets and orna
ments. necklaces—in fine, everything that
, n a]es, sparkles, shines and represents
money in its prettiest form. You can
hardly blame thegirls for feeling aggrieved
f the eccentric Southerner who had
vojrue enough at Newport and Lenox to
-:art such a fad. one which is rapidly
/rowing. Even the engagement ring is not
now considered good form to exhib-
but the fiancee need not let concealment
Lke a worm, etc., for she wears in its stead
a little red ribbon tied aronnd her finger.
The General Transatlantique Steamship
line has submitted to the Canadian Gov
ernment a tender to run steamers weekly
between Havre and Quebec by way of
Plymoth or Southampton. They have de
posited $100,000 as a guarantee of their
'tlmr girls have nothing to break the mo- -ability to carry out the contract.
notony of their lily flesh, hut strange to
Zy you see a good many red bands on the
tinners of girls whom you know to be fancy
r.ri-. How is this? Is it because the
maidens prefer to pretend they have been
mken in order to baffle pursuit, or is it
considered a crime not to be engaged?
A very charming girl, Miss Beverly Sid-
greaves, whom I met the other evening,
does not wear the red ribbon. But she
wore at this evening party a costume of
red silk absolutely unrelieved by anything
but Iter abundant black hair, and enhanc
ing if anything her brilliant complexion.
Hiss Sidgreaves is from the South, and
a very graceful and beautiful rep
resentative is she of that famous
nursery of beautiful women. She
lately retired from Mr. Mansfield’s*com-
pany as abruptly as she retired from jour
nalism when she had begun to reap suc
cess. A very bright ami critical mind
Miss Sidgreaves possesses, and these quali
ties have been recognized by Col. Cock-
erill, of the World, Mr. Dana, of the Sun,
and Mr. Mansfield, the latter a most ex
acting and capricious man. It is said by
-an intimate friend of the actor and of Miss
S'dgreaves, Mrs. Townsend Percy (who is
a Mississippian by birth), that to Miss Sid-
g reaves New* York is indebted for its view
of Beau Brummell. Mr. Mausfield bad
read and rejected this play, but Miss Sid
greaves, who knows Clyde Fitch, the au
thor, and ha l read his drama, persuaded
Dr. Jekyll to give it another and closer
reading. She succeeded in getting him
interested, and the result was the accept
ance of the play and its early rehearsal.
The success of Beau Brummell, a rather
slow and thoroughly artificial piece, even
inane in some portions, as in this last act;
ttie success w hich this play has enjoyed in
New York at a season when regular tbei-
tei -goers are away, is marvelous. It would
be anomalous except for what I have al
ways maintained—that people from out of
town, and not the blase, constant theater-
tjoers, are the best judges. The former
have an instinctive appreciation of what is
leal and true, and they approach a new
play witli fresh minds, untroubled by too
many comparisons. Very seldom, indeed,
will a play succeed in New York that has
met with failure on its trial in the Prov
inces, and almost never will a play made
wholly of fustian repay its managers for
putting it on the road. There is always a
rlianee for fustian to succeed in New
Vork, for it may have the suecesss of nov
elty : but a play needs to be stronger, to be
made of better stuff, although it is home-
-pun, to justify the old, but none the less
false adage that anything succeeds on the
Beau Brummell starts out in two weeks
now. and strikes into New England first,
then to Chicago,and by a southeasterly cir
cuit back to tlie metropolis. The regular sea
mui at tit e Madison Square theartre, where
the Beau now nightly polishes his w'hite
hands, will commence with “A Pair of
Spectacles” drawn from a French original
bv the famous Labiche, called “Les
t tiscaux.” It is said to be witty, amusing
ind clean. And certainly the French
play, as I remember it, combined all three
of these things very desirable in a comedy
is in life.
“Poor Johnathan,” at the Casino, still
remains the success of the season. It be
gan as a great surprise. You know every
one expects to see at the beautiful Moorish
Casino scores of pretty girls in vari-colored
tights disclosing the limbs of the choris
ters in all their shapeliness, and no one
has ever gone there for serious work in
. he line of come.dy. The Casino has been
’ailed the home of opera bouffe, anil that
name shuts out genuine comedy. Never
theless, that is what “Poor Johnathan” is.
Any one who goes now to the Casino to
see pretty girls and a spectacle will be dis
appointed. The story is very taking. I
will not tell it because the element of sur
prise would be lost by so doing for the
people who come here from Columbus.
The music is delightful, being by
Millocker, who, you remember, wrote
"Beggar Student.” “Black Hussar” and
many tuneful works which we all have
whistled and sung. Miss Lillian Russell
sings and acts her part, that of a capricious
and popular prirna donna with captivating
effect. People there are who assert that
in tliis role she is only playing herself.
All the better, you will say when you go
to see the opera. The success of “Poor
Jonotlian” is^ignificaut for it proves that
couteuporary themes, manners and cus
toms, including those to be found on this
side of the ocean, can be delightfully sat
irized on the comic opera stage.
Just a word more about the casino be
fore l go to take my tickets for another
theater. Several friends from the South
have mentioned the delusive sign displayed
oti the exterior of the building—“admis
sion 50cts” and related their annoying
experience after having bought these tick
ets and found themselves without a seat.
This is not peculiar to the Casino,
but these tickets are extraordi
narily popular with the regular pat
rons of this house, people who have
seen the piece, and only stroll in for an
hour to meet friends or for any reason.
That is all very well, and there is no use
in complaining of what is in no sense a
trick. Only remember if you go there to
see the opera, buy a regular seat and be
comfortable.
"The Senator;" which is still at the Star
Theatre, and, I am happy to say, will be
there all winter according to the new ar
rangement, is another case in point of
how interested we are in things we know
to be true and people we recognize. Most
of us have seen men like Senator Rivers,
and all the real fun of tlie play is human,
every-day fun, fresh and limpid as water
aud just as pure aud sweet.
A similar play, 1 mean with reference to
its contemporaneousness is “A Poor Re
lation,” in which Sol Smith Russall stars.
It has been seen here at Daly’s theatre,
bnt the company have |left now for a
Southern tour, opening on Monday at
Knoxville, Tenn. “A Poor Relation” is
amusing and pathetic, unmelodramatic,
and it is certainly entitled to a liberal pat
ronage. I met a great many Southern
visitors last month who had seen this play,
and their appreciation confirmed my judg
ment. At the present season it is impos
sible to go to the theatre without the pleas
ure of meeting many Southern friends.
Last night at the Metropolitan Opera
House, where the “Lillitmtians,” a com
pany of dwarfs from Hamburg, have been
transferred from Niblo’s, 1 saw Mrs. E. M-
Tyng and daughter, of Columbus, Mr.
Ellis, formerly of Georgia, and Mr. Clarke
Howell with a party of three gentleman
from Atlanta. Willis Steell.
FLASHES FROM THE WIRES.
The Mission Soap and Candle Works
and the Pacific Mattress Factory in San
Francisco, Cal., were destroyed by ‘fire
yesterday. Four cottagss were also con
sumed, and Mrs. O’Connell, an occupant
of one of them, was -taken out unconscious
by a policeman. The loss is about $30,000.
An inmate of the Soldiers’ Home ,at
Leavenworth, Kan., named foster was
found dead on the reservation yesterday
under the rapid transit trestle. It is sup
posed he was overtaken on the trestle by a
dummy train, aud either jumped or was
thrown off the track. He leaves a wife
and a grown son.
Hunters from the Moreau river country,
in South Dakota, report extensive prairie
fires raging in that portion of the Sioux
reservation. They also say that vast tracts
of lignite coal land have commenced to
bum, and fears are entertained, that it
may continue to spread through the coal
fields in the Bad river district, west of
Pierre, S. D.
A party of hunters, of Galena, 111., dis
covered a remarkable cave yesterday after
noon near Pilot Knob, about four miles
from that city. It was explored to the dis
tance of half a mile or more and found to
contain many rooms or vaulted openings,
lined from top to bottom with stalactites,
glistening cubes of mineral and other beau
tiful geological formations.
While workmen were digging the cellar
for a new school house at Beacon avenue
and Frank street. Providence, K. I., yes
terday, they discovered a number of skele
tons. An explanation for the ghastly find
is that the school house is to staiul on the
site of an ancient burying ground. The
skeletons were removed to the North Cem
etery.
Western Union officials at Chicago are
said to be worried about the formation of
the Telegraphers’ Brotherhood on the
lines of the organization which struck in
1883 except that it includes railroad tele
graphers and is said to be connected with
the Federation of Railroad Employes.
Several men have, it is said, been laid off
for their connection with the order. No
strike is anticipated now.\
ATTACKED BY NATIVES.
A FRENCH PARTY ASSAILED AND SEV
ERAL WOUNDED.
Paris, October go.—M. Mizori, chief of
the French commercial mission on the
Niger, while ascending the river with a
party acting as pnvoy to a quantity of
good*-, was attacked by natives. M. Mizon
was twice wounded in the fight which fol
lowed. Several others, members aof the
party, were also wounded. M. Mizon and
his followers finally took shelter at the
British Niger Company's station. The
Journal Des Debats today publishes letters
demanding from the, British Niger Com
pany indemnity for i he damage done by
the natives, on the ground that that com
pany ought to insure the security of navi
gation of the river.
GOV. HILL’S ESCAPE.
HIS SPECIAL RUN INTO BV THE CHICAGO
EXPRESS.
Moundsvtlle, W. \ r a , October 25.—
Gov. Hill’s special train on the Baltimore
and Ohio railway was run into by the Chi
cago Express just east, of Mouudsville
station this morning. The only damage
resulting to the Governor’s train was a de
molished cow catcher of the engine. No
one was hurt. The other train had the
engine and platform of the cab smashed.
BALFOUR'S TOUR.
Dublin, October 25.—Upon his arrival
at Baltina, county Mayo, Balfour, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, now making a tour
of the western counties, was met by Miss
Balfour and Lieutenant Colonel Sir J.
West Ridgeway, Linder Secretary for Ire-
iand. There was quite a crowd at the
railway station, but no demonstration was
made. The party entered a carriage and
were driven to the residence of Most Rev.
Hugh Conway, I). D., the Catholic bishop
of Killala, with whom Balfour had a long
conference in the presence of a number of
pviests. The party subsequently proceeded
to Killala. en route to Belmullet, where
they remain over Sunday.
NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS.
Nashville, Tenn., October 25.—The
Democrats of the Seventh Congressional
district last night nominated Col. N. N.
Cox, an AUianeeman. This is the district
for many years represented by Gen. W. C.
Whitthorne.

Mr. J. S. Royal, manager of the Singer
Sewmg Machine Company in Americus,
has been found short in his accounts about
$1,200. The deficit has been growing for
eighteen months, but has been shrewdly
covered up. Mr. Royal has been given
until tonight to make the shortage good.
Royal is a native of Taylor county, and
has been with the Singer company since
1880.
The Crawford Herald says: Mr. N. D.
Arnold is one of the largest and most suc
cessful farmers in this portion of Georgia.
Last year he made over 600 bales of cot
ton, over twenty bales to the mule, besides
plenty of“corn and hay to supply his farm.
He cleared on his farm last vear over
$10,000. His crop is not quite” so good
this year, but is very tine. Everybody has
a move on him on Nat Arnold’s farm.
Near Montezuma a few davs ago, a
gentleman with his wife and'little boy
were riding in a buggy, when they were
attacked by a mad hog. The buggy was
drawn by a mule, which was a fine traveler,
but the hog kept up with him for a mile
and a .half. The hog attempted several
times to climb into the buggy badly scar
ing the lady and little boy. ~ It is thought
the hog had hidrophobia. .
A horrible murder was committed in
Dodge county near Milan on Wednesday.
It seems that two men, Silas Wright and
Peter King, were in love with the same
young lady. The rivalry between them
was intense, and "finally Wright
became so j alous that he deter

the road Wednesday, and, telling him he
was going to kill him, plunged a knife into
his stomach several times, until the f-n- j

derer escaped, but lie is being pursued,
and if captured will be summarily dealt
with.

Troy Messenger: Mr. Frank Gri3set
brought the most curious looking hen egg
to this office we have ever seen. It is
more the shape of an old field gourd than
anything else, and as one of our printers
said, “the old hen must have made a mis

F. Wilburn, claiming to hail from Geor
gia. and Claud Connelly, claiming his
home in New Orleans, were pulled as sus
pects by Chief Yarbrough in Opelika on
Friday and made to answer before his
Honor, the Mayor. They had been lying
around the depot several days and sleeping
in a Central baggage car sidetracked there.
The Mayor released both under the prom
ise that they shake the dust of the city
from their feet instantly, and they shook.
Troy Messenger: Mr. O. B. Allred, of
this county, has in his possession perhaps
the oldest manufactured article in this sec
tion—one made before the revolutionary
patriots struck the first blow for liberty on
that fateful 10th of April, 1775. It is a
common pine board box, of ordinary pre
tensions and was'niade by his great-great-
grandfather, W. M. Burt, of North Caro
lina in December, 1774.
Daniel O’Connell’* DoeL
In Mr. Commissioner Phillips’ “Life
of Curran” there is the following anec
dote connected with the celebrated duel
between Mr. Daniel O’Connell and Mr.
D’Esterre:
’’Being: one of those who accompanied
O’Connell he beckoned me aside to a dis
tant portion of the very large field,
which had a slight covering of snow.
‘Phillips,’ said he, ’this seems to me not
a personal, bnt a political affair. I am
obnoxious to a party, and they adopt a
■false.“pretense to cat me off. 1 shall not
submit to it. They have reckoned with
out their host, I promise you.
‘“I am one of the best shots in Ireland
at a mark, having as a public man con
sidered it a duty to prepare for my own
protection against such unprovoked ag
gression as the present. Now remember
what 1 say to you: I may be struck my
self, and then skill is ont of the ques
tion: hut if 1 am not my antagonist may
have cause to regret his having forced
me into this conflict.’
“The parties were then placed on the
ground at, I think, twelve paces, each
having a case of pistols, with directions
to fire when they chose after a given sig
nal. D’Esterre rather agitated himself
by making a short speech, disclaiming
all hostility to his Roman Catholic
countryman, and took his ground, some
what theatrically crossing his pistols on
his bosom. They fired almost together
and instantly on the signal. D’Esterre
fell mortally wounded. The greatest
self possession was displayed by both. 1
deemed it a duty to narrate these details
in O’Connell’s lifetime whenever I heard
his courage questioned, and justice to
his memory now prompts me to record
them here."
Outlook for Western Architecture.
Take it altogether the outlook for
western city houses seems most promis
ing. Western people themselves are be
coming, and will still more became, al
most ideal clients. It is trne that, as in
the east, western city dwellings have not
escaped the deadly touch of the “know-
it-all” client, nor of the man who is
“building the house to suit himself,” nor
of him who “is going to live inside the
house, not outside,” and who is therefore
loftily indifferent to the street aspect of
his house: but each, even the last per
son, is becoming infrequent.
In the past, and to some degree at
present, western cities have been and
are influenced by men whose lives have
heen absorbed by things too material to
leave them much leisure for art: but
even in the case of Shell men there is a
marked indisposition to dictate in direc
tions where their knowledge is incom
plete. They have a large openness and
unbiased attitude of mind, and a genu
ine and earnest desire to “get the best.”
In the west is less often found than in
the east the “aesthetic crank,” and it is
also true that life in the west is less con
ventional, freer, less restrained by arti
ficial restrictions than in older commu
nities. and the trne nature of people and
things is perhaps moiy frankly ex
pressed.—John W. Root in Scribner’s.
SUFFERING IN OKLAHOMA.
WOODBUBY DOTS.
Woodbury, October 25.—[Special.]—
A woman was on the street last night
hunting the Marshal, and upon inquiring
what was the matter, she said a man had
bit her thumb. Her thumb was bleeding,
and looked as if it had been chewed.
A protograph man has spread his tent
in town, and now our good people can
have their likeness struck.
It is rumored that an effort is being
made to make Woodbury the county site
of Meriwether.
We are glad to note that Mrs. A. R.
Chunn is recovering from a recent spell of
iilness.
Mr. B. F. Cox has moved into his new*
house on Greenville street. •
A very large crowd attended the circus
in Griffin yesterday.
From reports and observation a very
large number from this section of the
country will attend the Exposition at Co
lumbus.
Mr. P. L. Chunn, a prominent and in
fluential citizen of this county, died at his
home near here last Friday.
THE PEOPLE WITHOUT WORK, FOOD OR
CLOTHING.
Topeka, Kans,, October 25.—F. War
ner, a farmer living in the western part of
Oklahoma, near Reno, arrived in Topeka
yesterday morning. He has been sent out
by his suffering neighbors to solicit aid for
them. Warner says that the settlers are
without supplies, their wives and children
without clothing, and they can obtain no
work, and unless they are speedily sup
plied with aid will suffer from starvation
and cold. The .men must remain upon
their land or forfeit their homestead
rights.
SAILED FOR AMERICA.
Havre, October 25.—Wm. O’Brien and
his wife, and John Dillon are passengers
on the steamer LaChampagne, which
sailed from here today for New York.
SNOW NEAR SARATOGA.
Saratoga, October 25.—Snow fell to a
depth of three inches in Greenfield, about
two miles from here last night.

BLARNEY CONVICTED AND HE WILL
PROBABLY HANG.
Baltimore, October 25.—This morn
ing the jury in tlie case of Wm. Blarney,
on trial for the murder of his aunt,
brought in a verdict of murder in the first
degree. The sentence of death was not
pronounced, as notice of an appeal was
given.
Securing Great Men’s Autographs.
Aside from Gladstone there is no Eu
ropean whom the Americans so pester
tor his autograph as they do Bismarck.
They used to approach him through the
American minister at Berlin, and Mr.
Phelps was exceedingly obliging until
at last Herbert Bismarck (who is quite
willing to do unpleasant things that his
father hesitates to do) wrote to Mr.
Phelps asking him to beg the Americans
to stop importuning the old gentleman
for souvenirs. Gladstone is much more
amiable. He is particular to answer all
communications addressed to him, and
considerable sport has been made of the
old gentleman because he writes most
of his correspondence upon postal cards.
Gladstone is said to regard it as his
duty to employ the postal card freely,
inasmuch as it was under his auspices
that the postal card was introduced into
England. As for Tennyson, he treats
autograph hunters with disdain. The
sure way, however, to secure his signa
ture “with an appropriate sentiment” is
to approach the old Bear through the
medium of a pretty girl, for the poet
laureate is by no means proof against the
fascinations of the gentler sex.—Eugene
Field in Chicago News.
Exhausting the Reptile.
Said the man from Punxsutawney:
“1 never knew that snakes would run
at you until one day abont three years
ago. I was out clearing up a piece of
ground, and one of these darned black-
snakes, or black runners, whipping up
out of a bush, put his tail in his month,
and came rolling at me like the driving
wheel of a Shoo Fly express. But didn’t
L ran? Jehosaphat!”
"Why didn’t you stop? He’d have
stopped if you had stopped,” interrupted
a listener.
“Yes.” continued the gentleman from
Pinixsutawuey: “but, by the tVfly horn
spoons, I wouldn’t have stopped. I ran
down the road two clean miles for home,
and every time I looked over my shoul
der there was that reptile coming like a
scared greyhound. I couldn’t get in the
house, but had to keep running aronnd
it; didn't even have time to think of
getting tired, and I kept on running un
til that infernal reptile died from sheer
exhaustion."—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Briefly Worded.
The dificulty which boys and girls ex
perience in expressing their ideas in writ
ing is notorious. An examiner at a semi
nary for young ladies requested one of
them the other day to give him her no
tion of what sort of telegram she would
send to her father in the event of her hav
ing met with a railway accident. It was
a thing that might occur, of course, and
the lesson prove useful: but in any case
it would give an idea of her mental re
sources.
He threw ont no hints, bnt, with the
proviso that it should be as brief as pos
sible, left the whole composition to the
young lady's imagination. This was the
telegram: “Dear papa: Dear mamma is
killed; Jane” (her sister) “and I are in
the refreshment room.”—San Francisco
Argonaut.
