Though the Princess of Wales, the
Duchess Of COnnaught and Princess
Mary still rigidly observed the rules Of
Court mourning and wore black, umre-
lieVCd by color, many Of those ladies
who had tickets for the enclosure took
heartofgraceand appcaredin lavender,
heliotropc, primrose, prllnc and even
gold color, rs well as in dresses Of the
numerous shades Of white. Among
the latter was a wonderful dress Of
white brocaded velvet, which was
worn with bonnet of real flowers.
A white satin dress embroidered with
black chenille, and trimmed with Il
heavy fringe of white chenille and jet,
was another triumph over circumstan-
ces, for no possible combination of more
brilliant co!ors could possibly have
been so effective. Then there was II
dress of some soft kind of semi-trans-
parent tuffina pale shade of primrose.
The very large straw hat was trimmed
with real roses. More roses on the
dress and parasOl. Florists must be
making fortunes just now, for real
flowers are worn on the head, round
the neck, in the dress, on the parasOl
and carried in the hand. Aruff of cof
fee-colored lace, in which nestles Il
garland of Marshal Mel roses; Il
dress of velvet of the
exact tint of the roses. Could any

They appear to be made of an oval or
round piece of satin, lined with
color and gathered up all round the

being tucked in. One of these, in

StabbinE ARRAY.

On Wednesday night between II
and II O'Clock, difficulty occurred
in West Jackson between DR.. G. c.
Cade and Geo. Masters, brothers-in-
law, in which the latter was seriously
cut in the left lung with large pocket
knife in the hands of the former.
After being stabbed, Masters ran
from the corner of Pearl and Parish
street to Capitol street, where he fell
exhausted from loss of blood. DIR.
Harrington was sOmmoned and assis-
ted by DIR. Daniels the wounded man
was attended to, the physicians pro-
nouncing the wound dangerous but
not necessarily fatal. Masters was
shortly afterwards removed to the
residence of his mother.
DR.. Cade was arrested at his house
by officer Fitzpatrick, and placed in
Jail TO wait the result of the wounds
of the victim. .aa'
The statements of the two parties to
the affair differ very widely. The
wounded man claiming to have been
attacked without cause, and the Doc
tor claims to have actedin self-defense.
Eye-witnesses to the affray give en-
tireIy different statements from either
of the principal actors in the affair.
An examination will be had before
court as soon as the wounded man is
able to appear, when, no doubt, the
full particulars of the difficulty will
be brought out. Until that time we
forbear to comment upon the matter.

COLLEY "GETS SATISFACTION. About
noon on Saturday, James Colley, who oc-
cupies the Charles Meacham property on
Portsmouth street, got up grand Fourth
of July "boom." He was full of equal
parts of whisky and the devil. He
smashed dishes, furniture and glass. He
screamed, howled, swore, and used OBJ
scene language, so that he could be heard
square away. He ran his wife out of
the house, and raised the neighborhood.
Finally Joe. Grace-who, we believe, was
on the police force-with Charley James,
Horton, Pewthers and other neighbors,
among whom was a STANDARD reporter,
made a friendly, neighborly call upon
Mr. Colley. Charley James talked to him
"like father" and asked what he meant
by such conduct. Colley replied:
"By - I'm only tryin' to git satisfac-
ton out O. my family
The house looked as though an Eastern
simeon or Western tornado had just
passed through.
Grace and Pewthers took the eXcitable
Colley to the calaboose. A man who
cannot behave himself any better than
this fellow was doing on Saturday, ought
to be confined in an asylum for idiots.

Museum and Menagerie, Notwithstanding
it's vast facilities, was nightly compelled
to turn away an immense multitude, who
were anxious to behold the wonders of
nature and the beautiful performances
daily and nightly exhibited under his
vast pavilion. His attractions were too
great. 1t is the only show that has ever
been obliged to close its doors in this city
on account of the immense throng. The
great patronage he received speaks for
itself. 1t is the latest and best combina-
ton of novelties and amusements ever
presented to public view: and when Mr.
Stickney comes again he should add a
large amount of seating capacity for
our Pittsburgh Planter.

JENKINS MIsTAKE.-On last Saturday
man named Lamb was arrested by Off
GERS Davis and Grifiths, for drunkenness
While they were taking him past the
Mayors Office. a man named VIM. Jen-
kins ran towards the officers with the
intention of rescuing the prisoner. Mayor
Aleshire from his Office window warned
Jenkins to stand back, as no injustice
would be done to Lamb. Jenkins, how
ever, rushed at the officers and succeeded
in getting Lamb partly away from them,
and was himself making hostile demon
strations, when Tom. Griffiths whacked
him over the head with his cane Jen-
kins redoubled his efforts to release Lamb
when the redoubtable Bill Owens ap-
peared upon the scene. Jenkins attempt
ed to strike Owens, and therein he made
the grandest mistake of his lifetime.
Owens measured his head with his cane
a time or two, when Jenkins took to his
heels. Owens was too fleet for him, how
ever, and caught up with him near Mil
ler's Drug Store. AS the crowd was fast
gathering by this time, and some were
for doing their duty, Owens thought it
time to stop foolishness, and drew his
revolver and marched Jenkins to the
calaboose. jenkins plead guilty to the
charge of resisting officers, and was fined
by the Mayor. But Jenkins will never
resist the officers of the law in Jackson
again-at least not till his head gets well.
1t is lamentable that some men, even
among quiet, law-abiding citizens will
join in an outcry against the officers for
doing their duty. When a man raises
such row as that of Saturday, endan-
gering the lives of women and children
ON the streets, he ought to be, and must
be, arrested, and if he will not go without
broken head, his head should promptly
be broken. The citizens of this town are
| obliged to obey the law-and there is no
reason why those who visit the town
should not be obliged to do the same
The Mayor has shown a willingness to
do his duty. The police are imbued with
the same spirit. The man who attempts
to scare any of these officers from the dis
charge of their duty, or to use physical
force against them, will be very apt to
get into serious trouble. Certain it is
that the man who strikes at Bill Owens
while in the discharge of his duty, makes
a sad mistake.

AS Lee KILN, a quiet, gentlemanly
young man was going to the Fair Grounds
on Saturday, three strangers met him.
when one of them pushed another
one against him, hurting him some
what. Lee asked an explanation
when one fellow squared himself
for a fight. Actuated by a spirit
of self-defense, Lee knocked him down
After striking at another one of Them
Lee was left by the three would-be bullies
Though that young man might live 6
thousand years, he will never, or hardly
ever, raise a fuss with quiet fellow like
Lee KILN again.

A BULLY SQUELCHED.-On last Satur-
day Lon Dewberry was playing billiards
in John Bertsch's saloon, on Main street,
and in walking around the table acci-
dentally stepped upon the toes of a man
standing near. Dewberry apologized for
his awkwardness, but the man wanted to
fight. They were not allowed to fight
there, and the man went away, Dewberry
supposing that was the end of the matter.
Afterward, when Lon. came out on the
street, the stranger was still anxious for
a fight, and nothing would do but Lon.
must go outside of the corporation, and
fight him. Being of an accommodating
turn of mind Lon. went with him. They
went up the Berlin road near the slaugh-
ter-house, when the stranger tied red
handkerchief around his waist and
squared himself in true prize-ring style.
Then he invited Lon. to hit him. But as
the fellow was big and stout-looking,
Lon. declined to hit him. The stranger
then struck at Lon. and received, in re-
turn, good, sound thrashing. Saturday
seemed to be a bad day for bullies.

An Omen Letter to the Public,

FRIENDS: To you who have visited the
numerous organizations with which !
have been connected during the past few
years, it is unnecessary to state that I
shall use my utmost efforts to amuse you
in the future as in the past. Those who
have never seen me 1 refer to those who
have, for a guarantee as to my willing
ness and ability to entertain my patrons.
The efforts which l have put forth here
tofore, while acting under the auspices of
other parties, are now doubly augmented
by my desire to show my friends-every-
body-that while acting in my individual
capacity, I am deserving of that which I
ask-a heavy patronage Entertaining
the same high regard for all friends of
true art which have ever maintained,
have the honor to remain, most faithful
ly, ROBERT STICKNEY.
