Eoitcr S.ar:-Now that the opera and ,heat-
neal season has commenced. will not the ladies
OF washington adopt some style OF bonnet or
head dress that viii not obs,ruct the view to
the stage? For the past few years it has been
the fashion to place the trimming on the apex
OF the bonnet, and those seated behind the sc
flowers, find 1t very difficult TO obtain glimpse
OF the singers or actors without stretching their
necks. and lodging first to one side and then TO
the other. II the gentlemen were not obliged
oy custom to remove their stoce-pipes the stage
would be entirely lost stght Of. II ladies are
afraid OF taking cold or are predisposed to neu-
ralg1a, they might wear the ..faScinater,' and
those OF them who are not afflicted with this
malady could have their hair prettily dressed
(Which Is always becoming), and by this ar
rangement make 1t possible to as well as
hear. In discussing this matter with some ladies
lew evenings ago, they remarked that Ii some
recognized leader Of society would set the
laSnlOn OF wearing some head-dreSS and discard
the street bonnet for evenings, it would be i'm.

GAMBLERS LOCKED IN AN IR-TIGHT VAULT
Among the desperate devices reSOrted to by the
Chicago faro bank proprietOrs to evade the Wig
ororS raids OF the police favOrite one is to lock
up the inmates in fire-proOf vaults. which are
supplied with ventilating holes for this purpose
Sunday morning at one o'clock George Hankias'
place was raided and seventeen players We're
bundled into the vault, the door locked and the
police admitted, Hankins and cOlored servant
remaining outside. Instead OF going away. as
usual, On finding the room deserted, the officers.
VINO were up TO the dodge, sat down and wait
ed. Noticing the veItilating holes, they stuffed
paper into them and again sat down and wait
ed. In about an hour the air in the vault had
become SO vitiated that the prisoners b u. lma
desperate, and from the inside came faint erie
of "Let us out; we are nearly dead'' Eyea then
the proprietor refused for time to nberate
them, and when he did the seventeen inmate
rushed out in state bordering on suffocaIon
One old man was nearly dead, and all were ter
r1bly exhausted. The confinement OF seventeen
men in an alright vault only seven feet square
was dangerous experiment which faro bank
patrons will hardly consent to try again, and
its disastrous result will be of value in aiding
the police in their efforts to suppress gambling
in Chicago.
STARVING ON BRoADwAY-Sad Ta,e Of Two
Cdties.-A woman about "a years OF age, dressed
in deep mourning, was found in fainting con-
dition yesterday afternoon on Broadway. Mr..
Il. L. Powers, proprietor OF the Grand Central
hotel had her conveyed into one of the parlors
The woman gave her name as Ella Willingford
and her residence at No. Delaney street
She said she had not eaten anything In three
days. Her husband went to New orleans about
month ago, where he was employed as groom
and he was about sending for his wife when he
was taken sick with yellow fever and died
The news Of his death Frustrated the poor wo-
man and an additional burden was placed upon
her shoulders by the birth OF child She had
not entirely recovered from her illness when
the pangs Of hunger drove her into the street
in search OF food. Her two children, a boy two
years OF age and the baby, were In the mean
time left in q cold and cherries room. When
the woman had told her pitiable story Mr. Pow
ers headed subscription list for her, and seve-
raj OF the guests also gave her sums OF money.
Before she could realize her sudden good for
tune bountiful repaSt was laid before her, and
thus provided for she almost bounded from the

shoOt1ngS and Standings enough in the state tf

Gently, Frank Polk, an old citizen OF Pisgah
went to the town OF Workman, and celebrated
the event by getting very drunk and producing
the ancient Henry. He made himself so very
obnoxious that Chief of Police Powers arrested
him, and the mayor fined him for disorderly
conduct. Polk was so Infatuated by his arrest
and fine that, after paying it, and regaining his
freedom, he drank good deal more, and
mounting horse, and procuring rifle, rode
up and down In front Of the mayors Office dar-
ing him to show himself. Powers, advancing on
him with revolver, told him to put down his gun
Instead of doing so, he fired on Powers, who re-
turned his fire, the mayor coming out and taking
part in the combat. At the close of the engage
ment, Polk and Powers were both dead; but
the mayor, who had been shot at several times
by the desperate, escaped unhurt, which Is con-
sidered SO diScreditable there that it may injure
his prospects for reelection. Not far from

unwilling that friend OF ChenOwtth should
preach. The clergyman would have resented
the insult on the spot, no doubt, had he not ac-
cldentally left his private arsenal at home
