A Duel Prevented.

ARREST OF ONE OF THE BEIIIGERFNTS.
Yesterday morning In Richmond Va, war
rants were issued for the arrest or DIR. Geo. Ben.
Johnston, son OF L. :. Senator Johnston and
nephew or Gen. Joe Johnston. and Capt John
;. Wise, son OF the late GOV. Henry A Mise
both residents or that city. on the charge OF
being about TO engage In a breach OF the peace
10y fghting duel. DIR. Johnston was arrested
at O'Clock am. and taken before magistrate
apd bailed in 1900 for his appearance at the
police court to day. Capt. Wise was not found.
The difficulty is said 10 have had IT'S origin as
follows. Last winter Capt John 5. Wise's name
was presented for membership In the West
moreland club. which is composed OF many OF
the best citizens OF Richmond but despite
Capt Nise's high connections and social stand
Ing. he was black balled with considerable una
nimfty. This action or the club was generally
known and freely discussed various reasons
being assigned therefor, but the actual cause
was not made public until recently, when Dr.
Johnston stated In such manner that Informal
ton would reach Capt. Wise, that he was one
OF the many who had black balled Wise and
that he also had organized and carried out the
movement In the club which had resulted In
his rejection, giving as his reason for doing so
that he JohnstOn) had at last considered that
Nise's conduct ia the Congressional canvass In
which his uncle, Gen. Jos. L. Johnston was a
candidate, had not been that OF q gentleman
toward Gen. Johnston, nor had he treated him
with such respect as the generals age and high
position should have commanded. It is still
claimed 10y friends OF the parties that the mat.
te: had been adjusted. and that there was no
necessity for the arrest or the principals aai
consequent publicity.

FASHIONS NoNDRoUS CHANGEs.-One thing
greatly amused me: Last season at Saratoga
overheard lady nom New York describing the
dress OF ShakereSs, which she declared was
too prim and ridiculous 10 be seen In. IL is won-
derful what changes a few short months Will
bring In ones opinions and the style OF ones
dress, especially or woman's. To-day d.
rectly In front OF me In the meeting house sat
my Saratoga critic, clad In dress which was
almost an exact copy OF the Shaker garb-a
short l,ilted sl1rt OF just the heliotrope shade
which the sisters wear, and with round waist
gathered at the belt, over which was deity
laid the neat folds OF an India null neckerchief!
She was actually dressed Ia the 'prim and ridlcu-
louS" costume over which she had so recently
shrugged her pretty shoulders and turned I'D
her little ar1Stocratic nose. But then she did not
look like Shakeress after all, for upon her
graceful head was placed flower garden ana
fruit stall, yclept a hat, that In turn would
have been set upon and Scoffed at by every
r1ght-mfBded ShakereSs In the house: and upon
her dainty feet were worn pair OF French-heel
kid boots that in constrast with the fiat bot
toned CATERS OF the sisters was a shameful
friyolity, not TO be tolerated by disciple OF
Mother Ann Lee.-Ere7liIeg Post.

The fact that colonel Sellers" as ft stands
has been successful In America suggests some
curious reflections. Mr.. Raymond's acting is,
as we have limited, OF high degree OF merit;
but, although this has been widely recognized,
tie intrinsic badness OF the play has prevailed
in London over the attractiyeneSs OF his per
iormance. The same thing has happened with
Otter American plays-among them Fritz" a
ludicTous hotch- potch for which Mr.. Emmetts
talent was unable to secure popularity. The
natural conclusion is. that American playgoers
are more easily satisfied than English playgoers
In the matter OF dramatic writing. or rather,
perhaps. that they are content, for the sake or
one good piece OF acUing, TO endure an amount
OF abSurdity and WEAKNESS which TO Us appears
ineOlerable. The conclusion that good acting
is more rare ia America than here would seem
TO 60 hand in hand with this, and is not unsup-
ported by other facts.-Ti,e Saturday RerteIr.
