Theatrical* In Macon During the War—A
llcumrknhle Performance.
I see by the paper* that Edmund K. Dalton, with a
dramatic company, U playing In the aneJl town* of
the State. The mention of Dalton’s name brings
up recollection of theatrical* during the late war,
over twenty year* ago. At that timo tho South went
through many privation*, the people made their
shoe* and hate of cloth, substituted chicory and
parched meal for coffee, and were deprived of
nearly every luxury; but at no time waa it wanting
in theatrical amusement*. Richmond waa the dra
matic headquarters where the companies were
formed and sent South, and It la a matter of truth
ful hlatory that the brighteet stare of the American
stago remained on this eide of Mason and Dixon's
line. '
At no time during the five yearn of the struggle
waa Macon without an attraction of some kind, and
strange to say. tie theatre was much more liberally
patronized, notwithstanding the fact that the people
were poorer than now. A slim house waa the
result of Inclement weather, and not because of any
lack of merit on the part of the attraction. This
may aeem slngnW, inasmuch as the male popula-
• tion was at the front battling for their country ; but
it is somewhat accounted for in the fact that Macon,
being a central point, there were more or leaa sol
diers on sick leave and in the hospitals; and. again,
the boys growing np took the place of their fathers
in acting as escorts and protectors of their mothers
and sisters. Confederate qioney waa plentiful, and
wives and daughters were glad enough for any di
version from the horrors of war.

In the early part of the war the Crisp family held
our boards. There are no doubt many living who
will remember the genial W. H. Crisp and "our Jea-
*io H as she was called, in “Black Eyed Susan."
can see Mr. Crisp now in his blue sailor suit give a
hitch to bis trousers and say "shiver me timbers I”
Rut the Crisp family were never here longer than a
week or ao at a time. They worked the circuit
which included Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, At
lanta and Montgomery.
Under the firm name of Dalton k Davis, Edmund
R. Dalton and John A. Davie, held a stock company
together here nearly all the time. As a matter of
conrao, to appear night after night for months at a
timo in a city of lees than ten thousand in
habitants, a company mnst have
extensive repotoire. This Dalton k Davis
had. One week they presented Don Caesar d*
Kazan,'* another week "La Tour de Neale," and so on
with “The Corsican Brothers,” the "Iron Chest,”
"Lady of the Lake," “Lady of Lyona,” “Ingomar
tho Barbarian,” "Pixxarro,” etc. It woe seldom
tliat we were given Shakespeare. Sometimes Richard
III waa essayed, but Romeo rarely ever made love
to Juliet, although those were the days when Ella
'Wren and Elolse Bridges were fresh and fair on
the stage.
Dalton k Davis’ company was in all respects a
good one. Dalton was possessed of good figure,
piercing gray eyes and a voice both strong and
mualcal. Davis was much older andnotsog iod
an actor, hut there was no b»tter manager in the
southern circuit He knew when a piece had its
ran, and he knew how to keep up the size of hia
audiences. The male members of the company
were mostly printers and were employed by J. W.
Burke k Co., during the day,
** here were Just as many stage-struck people In
those days ar, now, but it was not often that they
were given a chance to rise or fall before the foot
lights. I remember a young man named Gray.
He waa a painter. He had a fine physique, a hand
some face and was quite popular with the boys
about town because of hla vocal ability, llo was
badly stage-struck and applied to Dalton k Davis
for a position. They saw at once that he would
never make an actor, but they knew a crowded
house would greet his debut, and a crowded home
meant ducats. Gray was put through a course of
training, and John L. Sullivan never warmed up to
his work of preparation for a mill with more zea r
and interest than did Gray for bis appearance in
Macbeth. The house was crowded to suffocation,
Ralston Hall nsver held so * many peo-
plo. Gray waa a tremble with fear
and Dalton k Davis wers happy. Finally
tho curtain went up and Gray caught on to his cne.
There was a wild yell of greeting, which gave Gray
time to recover from his fright. When he began to
"chew soap and foam at the month,” the audience
arose as one man, and never did Forest or Booth
receive such an ovation. For the time being Gray
waa the finest actor that over trod the boards, au\
he folt it. But hia star went down the next night.
A squad of substitutes, from a recruiting $amp on
the suburbs, came in town and attended the tbea
tre. They knew nothing of Gray, and whon he had
spoken a half dozen lines, they saw at once that he
was no actor, and let loose aucb a fusilade of hisses
that poor Oray ran to the dressing room, doffed bis
toga and was soon out In thg street, swearing ho
would never again put foot on *ha stage.
I remember on one oocasion, when Richard HI
was on the bills, Davis was cast fbr Richmond, but
as night grew on he became more and more indis
posed. Tbs char ces were fine for a crowded house,
and a Richmond must be bad at any cost. While
Dalton was fussing and fretting and fuming, George
W.Simpson.who was the organizer of ths first origi
nal Georgia minstrels, and who waa then a compos
itor on Harry Flash's Telegraph and Confederate,
approached him and told him that the fit
Richmond on the stage was then at work at
Burke's printing off**, »nd, in casa Davis did not
turn up, his part could be supplied. Dalton was
apposMed, and instructed Himpson to get his man
in readiness.
George W. Simpson waa much more of a genius
than the Georgs W. Himpson immortalized by
White in the Chicago Tribnne. He was more than
. a genius, ho was a wag.
When ths orchestra was playing the overture
that night, Himpson rushed behind the
with a handsomely formed man, whose face was
close shaven and who wore % look of seriousness. Dal
ton seized him and taking him to the dressing room
spn-a<l out Richmond's costume before him,
Nimpeon'e man was soon arrayed and soon the cur
tain was rung up. Dalton was in good spirits. The
play went on nicely enough until the sixth act,
w hen Richmond mceta Richard on Boswortb field.
In vain did Richard prompt Richmond to
speak hi* mt hichni-nd was silent, though
bis movements elicited applause. In the fencing
scene he proved himself a master of the foil*, and
Un-hard dl< d full of admiration for ths new man’s
■kill. Then, through the rest of the act, Richmond
was every inch a king—*o far as looks went, but not
a word escaped bis lip-. The audience had an idea
that something had g> ne wrung, and Dalton waa
mystified.
When the curtain went down it leaked out that the
new Richmond waa a deaf and dumb printer, who
was* <11 up in ttakespeerel But the audience
never knew that. f<>r the tint time in the history of
(fceataf*. the port of Richmond wa* played by a
man who never spoke a word in his life.
At that time John •Templeton, Alice end Isabel
Vane, were in their prime. They paid Macon
occasional visit*. T*j Templeton was born after
the war usd was on the stage before she coaid lisp
10 r father's name. Her first apiterance In Macon

Storles are Told,
The party was bound for Washington to be pres. |
ent at the funeral of Gen. Robert Toombs. A law
yer. a railroad manager, a crmmercial tourist. a
brakesman, a tramp, and a newspaper man were the
component elements.
It was on the Georgia Railroad, and there was a
hot box.
Not the hot box which delays trains and causes
pious railroad men to forget their religion, but a
box, a car, a coach, or whatever else yon please to
call it. built sud equipped for the convenience of
travelers. It wan hot because the stove was.
The stove was red hot.
Tho party was close to the red-hot stove, smok
ing fragrant alx-for-a-qusrter cigars, and wondering
if Camak would be reached before daylight.
■Know Tom Willingham?”
This waa a sort of general inquiry uttered by the
lawyer, and intended for anybody or nobody.
Anybody failed to reply,-and nobody stirred.
The lawyer bored a holo through his cigar, per
haps to aid its drawing power, tried it again, re
moved it from his lips with s look of disgust, and
laid it upon the top of ths red-hot stove, intending,
no doubt, to see If it would explode before it would
burn.
"Tom Willingham it a Macon lawyer."
This waa said by the lawyer, after eatUfving
himself that the cigar would neither explode
r burn.
Tom Willingham went down to Toomaboro, not
long ago, to look after a law caae for one of his cli
ents. Orest place for cyclones, Toomaboro. Tom
Willingham spent tho night there. He slept with a
man named Green in a room at the hotel. Green
talked in his sleep. About two o’clock in tho morn
ing. be got to dreaming of cyclones. He moaned
and groaned, and finally turned over suddenly,
punched Tom Willingham in the side and
screamed:
•• 'Cyclone! Hotel's blowing sway I Run to
your holes P
•Tom Willingham waked up. Not gradually, but
suddenly, and in dire alarm. Ha sprang out of bed
and rushed to the door.
•• ‘Where’s the cyclone Y be yelled, unlocking tho
door and dancing into the hall. ,
Landlord heard the racket Ho'd been throngh
a cyclone, and when he heard Tom Williugham's
yell, he thought the world was at an end. He
lumped out of bod and shouted:
“ •Cyclone's raging t Get up and run to your

The jury examined the body, and then adjourned
to meet at the city hall at 0:30 o'clock this morn

Goodman was employed at the residence of Mr.
W. F. Grace. Tho occupation of tho other negroes
could not be learned.
PER HYMAN’S PERU .
Uo Is Charged with Hazing Set Ills Har
mon: on Fire.
C. Perryman, colored, is In the dungeon at the
city prison, charged with having set his bar-Toom
on fire Saturday night
Perrj man's bar-room was brought into promin
ence twice Saturday night, first by the killing of
Kppy Goodman, and then by tbe mysterious fire
which was d."covered at 12:20 o’clock.
The cirrnmataucc* attending the fire were of such
suspicious character that the police at once set to
work to arrest all parties employed in the bar-room,
and all others whom there were reasons to suspect
The following wero apprehended:
C. Perryman. Merit Dmard, the bar-keeper, Al
bert Beevcr. Jeff Reeves. Marshall Tippln. James
Perryman, and Tom Holt, alias Harvey Holt, all
colored.
As stated in yesterday's Issue, police officer Mc-
Cafferty discovered the fire. At ten minutes to 12
holes!'
In two minutes, every man, woman and
child in the hotel was yelling ‘cyclone’ like
mad.
Just about the time everybody was getting ready
to die. Green stalked to the door of bis room and
yelled:
•• *Go to bed, you fools; can’t you ten the differ
ence between the nightmare and a cyclone Y
•That ended the scare."
The brakesman opened the stove door and poured
in a bushel of coal.
•Too much.”
The brakesman looked at the tramp, who ap
peared incapable of speech, and remarked:
■g Ubnf np; the railroad pays for this co&L”
•Rsllmsds in the South are improving."
marked the railroad manager, fixing his eye upon
“ i greasy face of the brakesman.
Travel is slow, but the railroads are improving,
nevertheless.”
••C’rect,” said the brakesman. “They’re im
provin', but they ain't np to snuff on speed. Ever
be’n to Hpain?”
••My travels have never extended thst far," re
plied the railroad manager. "I’ve been to Atlanta,
and I’ve seen the Kimball House .’’
•Shucks!” exclaimed the brakesman, with limit-
.. s contempt “You wan’ter go to Hpain. They
runs trains up to hull gull in that country. Why,
sir, two hundred miles to the hour is as common
in thst country as liars .is in Georgy. I’vebe’n
there. I’ve rode on s train thst run two hundred
miles In fifty-nlno minutes an* made sevingtoen
ops.
"I recTect oncct that I was on that train, an’ a
pow’ful bad ac'dent como mighty nigh happening.
We was runnln' to a mectln’ p'int an* was goin’ a
lectio the rise of two hundred and fifty an hour.
Thero was a river to cross, half a mile wide. When
the engineer was close np to where the place was to
cross ths bridge, he looked outen his cab winder,
an’ hojKj I may never punch tow In a hot box a# in
if there wasn't no bridge in sight. Clean gone,
every stick an' timber. Homebody bad burnt it
down, trvin' to git even wtUrthe road for reducin'
wages. Things looked bad. but the engineer jerked
his throttle-valvo wide open, au' hope 1 may never
see another eatin’ bouse X the whole train, thir
teen cars, didn’t jump spaug across th* river an*
Ian* on the track on the other side. Speed? You
go to Hpain if you wan’ ter see speed.”
The newspaper man opened a window and threw
the stamp of his cigar out
“Ever been to Suuday-school?" he said, address
ing the brakesman.
••Sunday-school be blowed,” answered that
worthy. “What's Sunday-school got to do with
me?’’ .
"Oh, nothing in particular. I thought perhaps,
yon might have made the acquaintance of Ananias
and Sapphlra there.’’
with the forefinger of his right hand to foci its heat.
The newspaper man looked interested,
“I’ve known a few in my day,** be said.
"Well, sir, perhaps, then, you can sympathize
with me,” the commercial tourist said, removing
his finger, atill cold, from the stove. "I’ve got a
wife. Hhe’s the most remarkable woman in seven
Htatea. Hhe’s some on s trade, and don’t
yon forget it When I go home after a trip, ah
ton lubes me with long drawn-out accounts of
trades she’s made during my absence, By Jove,
sir, she's such a financier that she ought to be Bee-
rotary of the United States treasury. Last week
she bought a hen. I'll bet my head against a tooth
pick that no other woman in the world could have
made the trade she made when she bought that
hen. A nigger carried the fowl.to my bouse just
after breakfast. Uo told my wife tfyit he'd take a
dollar aud a half for it. She asked the nigger If he
wanted to cheat her.
•• *No, martn,’ the rascal said. •! axes a big (price
fur dls hen, ’case hits another kin’ o’ hen from dent
what you see* *bout de yards. Dls here hen lays
double alggs. Ev’y roomin' you looks In de nee',

"The double-egg racket was too much for md
wife. Hhe gave the negro a dollar and a half and
took in exchange the ben that laid double-eggs.
When I got home she told me about the trade, and
I went ont Into the back yard to look at the fowl.
By Jove, sir. the thing was so old its feathers had
turned gray. During the war that hen laid eggs
for Joe Brown's militia. 1 got mad. I told my
wife that the hen waa old enough to lay seven eggs
at a time, but that 1 believed its days of usefulness
in that direction were over. Next morning. I went
out and inspected the nest my wife had made for
her latest purchase. It waa as empty as the head
of a dude. I got my shot-gun anu emptied both
barrels into the hen, and I have I may die if it
didn't kick and flutter till snn down before U final
ly gave up the ghost”
•tDistressing occurrence," said the newspaper
man, after a moment or two spent tu sad silence.
“Yes, gentlemen, very distressing,” said the
tramp, rising and stretching hia limbs.
••When I was in Africa—' n
••Where was that?" interrupted the brakesman,
“When 1 was in Africa—’’
“Ever been to Sunday-school?" again interrupted
the brakesman.
The tramp gaxed at him solemnly an instant and
then remarked:
“tee, Bnd. I’ve been there.'
“Welt you know Ananias nd Rappbtra, then,
and you needn’t tell e yam |o Wk nj> you? repu
tation. Here’s—”
• Camak!” shouted the conductor, popping hie
he*.d in at the door.
Tbe train slowed up and stopped, and the party
went out upon the platform, each man wondering
*what the story was tns tramp had tried to tell.
SHOT DEAD.
Ten minutes after, tbe officer heard voices In the
bar-room, aud almost immediately two men came
out, locking the door after them. As they walked
away one said to the other:
“Hho’ll bo sure to go this time."
At 12:30 o'clock, the officer heard a man, who was
standing near the bar-room, cry fire.
•.Where Is it?*' inquired the officer.
“In Perryman’s bar-room," replied the man*,
“don't you see it coming out under the door and
over the top?”
The officer at once gave tho alarm, to which
tne firemen promptly responded. No. 5 got the
first stream on, and the fire waa quickly extin
guished.
Perryman's bar-room contained three divisions.
In front esc tho bar, immediately in its rear was
the billiard room, and back «.f that was a small
erably injured by tbe best and water. The gam
bling room was uninjured.
Against the partition which separated the bar and
the billiard-room stood a beer-oooler. Under tbe
charred remains, yesterday morning, the police
found a large hole burnt in the floor, and near it an
armful of light wood, part of which was in a good
state of preservation. This light wood was saturated
with kerosene oil.
Under the becr-oooler the fire evidently had its
origin.
Perryman was arrested »n the alloy near the bar
room at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. He profess
ed not to hsve heard the alarm bells, and said that
he knew nothing of the fire until informed of it by
a negro man shortly after 4 o'clock.
Aa soon as possible, the police went to Perry
man's houso and searched it. A satchel containing
severalf llllard balls and some beer checks, and a
large box securely nailed up, were found. Perry
man’s wife told the police that far the first time In
seven yean, he failed to sleep at home Saturday
night After the satchel and box wero removed to
the city hall, the box was opened. It waa found to
be filled with boxes of cigars and other at tides us
ually sold in bars.
Tom Holt alias Harvey Holt, told the police that
Perryman reque -ted him to take the box home Sat
urday. Holt refused, upon the ground that the box
waa too heavy; but he agreed to carry several light
er articles to Perryman’s house. On his return, he
met a Largo black negro, who waa carrying "
box. The negro asked Holt’s aid, but the latter
fused it
;Tyman had insurance on his stock, to the LI
tent of six hundred dollars, with a company repre-
aented by Mr. Georgo B.
After oeing locked np lu the cl _
officer saked Perryman what Ifu had done with his
billiard balls.
“1 put them in a box under the counter in the
bar Just before 1 locked up for tbe night" he re-
plied.
“It i.«% strange that they were not found there,"
said thi officer.
You didn't look close enough," Perryman re
plied. "I put them there, and there you’ll find
them.”
At the time of this conversation. Perryman did
not know that the police bad the satchel containing
the balls.
To a Tklcobaph reporter Perryman said that he
closed his bar-room at 11:30 o’clbck, leaving nobody
tide. He left a lamp burning, intending to return
the bar-room to get one hundred and uighty dol
lars in greenbacks, which he hsd placed in a cigar
box under the counter. This money, he said, was
burned. When he left the bar-room, he went to a
friend's nouse near the Wesleyan Female College.
He remained there, talking, until informed of the
fire at 4 o’clock yesterday morning. Aa to the cause
of hla arrest, he prufe**ed to know nothing.
During a second visit to ths scene of the (ire. the
reporter discovered a largo quantity of matche-i
scattered over the floor of tne billiard-room.
Another link lu .his atcrj' waa discovered yester
day afternoon.
A week ago Lieutenant C M. Wood, of the police
force, fixed upon yesterday morning at 2 o'clock as
the hour for s raid npon lVrrymau’M bar-room, in
lest of the negro gamblers who ulghtly assembled
ere. A person, who is known to Lieutenant Wood,
rbeard him discussing thb plans for the raid aud
wcut to Perryman and told him what to expect.
In consequent** of the discovery thst Perryman
had been informed of the Intended raid, the
theory is that he determined to escape it by
Ing his bar-room, and, at the same time, obtain his
insurance.
Warrants for Perryman and other suspected par
ties will be sworn out to-day.

this gentleman that a brief outline of the

surrounding country should be given to the
public. To say that he hAS performed mir

even unto a late hour of the night, have
the weak, decrepit, blind, and maimed, tbe
old and the young sought his office to re
ceive from his hands that which no other
skill save his has ever been able to relieve.
That many has been turned away as incur
able, there is no question, but in most in
stances, the most despairing have received
■ ' his hands that relief for which they hud
long sought, but in vain. To say that
he has made the blind to see, the luma to
walk, the deformed to once more stand np
in perfect manhood, the decrepit and
maimed to walk with renewed vigor and
life and inspired into the hearts of many,
brighter hopes for their fntnre haj ‘
bat adding to tho many praises he justly
deserves, fora life spent in constant and
deep researches into the many hidden rem
edies, that once brought to light now give
to suffering humanity that assistance that
for so long they have called in vain.

to perform many cures, and in nearly every
instance fail, is bat too well known, and it

The Methodist Or bans’ Home Is an Institution
eminently worthy of support. It la situated north
of Vlneville, about three miles from the city.
Formerly, it waa the property of Bibb county, but
fourteen years ago It was (riven to the Houth Gecm a
Conference of the Methodist church, and was reor
ganized. Rev. L. B. Payae is at its bead. He hae
held hia position ten years.
Tbe home Is supported hr voluntary contribu
tions. At present. It contains fifty-live Inmates,
chiefly from Houth Georgia. It is a curious fact that
ths large majority of the inmates are not the chil
dren of Methodist parent*.
Among those who have been the .arm friends of
the Home, Is Dr. W. F. Holt. Perhaps for twenty
years he has been th* physician in chorge. always
rmdering hie services gratuitously.

was the cat. Afterward they jumped a very huge
gray fox and chased it two hours, but it finally got
lost from f He dogs.

An Uncertain Future,
“Do you ever stop to think, young man,”
said a clerical-looking gentleman to the pas
senger in tffe seat ahead, “what the fntnre
may have in store?”
‘Indeed, I do, sir,” was the melancholy
reply. “I realize that my future is dark
and uncertain.”
“And you will strive to rnako it bright
er?”
T am powerless in the matter. It all
rests with the managers. I’m a professional
baseball player.”

tbe active list in tbe early dealing. The best prices
of the day, however, were made in the morning,
and brokers who were conspicuous in carrying the
advance of Saturday forward were active sellers of
stock to-day. The result was a slowly drooping
market from shortly after 10 o'clock until late in
the afternoon, the decline being unaccompanied by
any material reastion. Tbe last hour of the market
was quite dull aud comparatively firm for most of
the list, with some feverishness, however, in Lack
awanna. and tbe market closed steady at irregular
changes, compared with Saturday, but generally
small fractions to nearly 2 per cent,*
lower. Declines of over 2)* per cent, are confined
to a half dozen stocks, while Nome of tbe Ichs active
of tbe so-called active list show fractional gains,
Including Texas Pacific and MisHouri Pacific. A
conspicuous feature of the market was tbe strength
developed in Lake Shore. It closed with a net ad
vance of over Saturday’s close, the only active
stock that Nhows a gain. The trading in th«* stock
and St Paul amounted to 35 per cent, of the day’s
total business, ht, Paul is down, and Lsck&waniia
1Other active stocks show a fractional decline.

A HOUSE OF MOURNING.
Husband, Through Mistake, Poisons
llltusclf in His Wife's BeatU-CUambet,
Lynchburg (Va.) News.
Yesterday the denth was poblmhed of
Mrs. Thomas Wade, an estimable Christian
woman, who resided with her husband and
large family on Daniel’s Hill, near the cor
ner of G and Withers street. Her burial
waa announced for yesterday, but before
the preparations for the funeral had more
than been completed yesterday morniog the
family was visited with another dire calam-
ity in the accidental poisoning of Mr.
Thomas J. Wade, the bereft husband.
It seems that Mr. Wade was in an exceed
ingly nervous stAt , arising from the dis
tress oee.iKioued by tho death of his wife,
and in order to quiet his nerves drank from
a bottle what he supposed to be whisky,
but what, in reality was carbolic acid. The
Tearful blunder was detected instantly, and
medical aid was quickly summoned aud
everything was done to alleviate the unfor
tunate man’s sufferings, but he breathed
his last late yesterday evening.’ The scene
at the detolate home last night was suffi
cient to awaken the sympathy in the hard
est heart Both Mr. and Mrs. Wade came
to Lynchbnrg from Bedford county. The
former was a carpenter by trade and was in
the service of the Richmond and Alleghany
Railroad Company. The deceased oouple
leave several gr*<wn sons and daughters.
A Had Case of Poisoning
is ibat of -any man or woman afflicted with disease
or derangement of the liver, resulting in poisonous
accumulations in the blood, scrofulous affections,
slck-beadaches, and diseases of the kidneys lungs
or heart. These troubles can only be cun a by go
ing to the primary cause, and putting the liver in a
healthy condition. To accomplish thin n sultspee<V
ily aud effectually noth lug has proved itself so effi
cacious a* Dr. Pierce's ••Golden Medical Discov
ery," which hae never failed to do the work claimed
for it, and never will.
llovv to Dress the Table.
Dining-rooms should be lightod with a
chandelier, but to offset this toensed light
and softened the shadows on the taces, can
dles should be placed on the table.
High backed chairs are picturesque: they
frame in a person and separate him from
the wall.
Always he snre i£ knives and forks be
come worn to renew their plating.
Polished tables are beaatiful, bat require
much care, and if used should bo set with
dark potterery, gloss and china.
The time was when tables were entirely
set with white; now we go to the other ex
treme and have a cluster of all sorts of col
ors mixed together without harmony.
Salads ore good decorations. One can
not put anything on a table more beautiful
than celery. Blue is not a verv good color
for nse. It is apt to look cold and spotty
with white.
Large centre pieces on a table are too os
tentatious and are ont of harmony with
the horozcntal principle of the table.
White rtowors ore appropriate, bat big
bunches of varia colored flowers are not.^
It is a good thing to have something
beautiful on the table to look at, but o! •
jecta should be placed at tbe corners of the
table, not in the centre. Art in the table,
as elsewhere, is merely common sense.
Beautiful glass is made nowadays, but it
is poor taste to have red, yellow, blue, green
and amber gloss on the table ut tbe same
time. Tho colon used should, if possible,
be related to the tints of the wall, the car
pet and the table doth.
Decoration of porcelain should be con
ventional. Hereto Roval Dresden plate,
patchy, stupid, with half a dozen designs
on it that comt $2.50. Here’s a conventional
decoration that is admirably suited for din
ner service.
