The Masque Ball at PARK City Hall OF
Monday evening was q decided success
The Opera Orchestra, Of Racine, were il
attendance, and discoursed some fine music
| The characters were well represented, an,
many of the costumes we're elegant ant
tasteful. We noticed one lady who had thu
good taste to represent the Kenosha UNION
for which we beg she will receive our com
pliments, not only for the design, but for it
very graceful execution. The whole affail
was more than ordinarily pleasant, and
considering the inclement weather, was re
markedly well attended. Dir. Schend never
does things by halves, and all unite in say.
ing that no more pleasant entertainment has
been given for many day.
| About 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning
there was q smash-up on the Milwaukee
Division of the Northwestern Railway al
Winetka, I'll. Two freight trains came in
collision, occasioned principally by the iced
and slippery tracks. The engineer and
fireman of both trains leaped from their sta.
tons and thus escaped injury. The damage
is not great, though not uncomfortable. In
consequence, all trains from the south were
delayed at this point until about 3 o'clock
D. m. Trains came down from Milwaukee,
and transfer was made so far north as pos
sible, aud passengers going to Milwaukee
were able to get through with comparatively
little delay.
Last week, ST. Valentines day was cele-
brated in the usual way. st. Valentine,
the patron of thousands who once year send
some pleasant or unpleasant reminder of
love or enmity, as the case may be, was
most Iovable man, and his acts of charity
were known far and wide, and so famous
were these traits that the customs of sending
valentines on his festival to commemorate
his good deeds, originated and has been
practiced more or less from that remote
period to this. In the olden time it was
customary on the eve of st. Valentines
day to have the names of select number
of one sex put into receptacle with an
equal number of the other sex, and there
from every one drew name which, for the
time being, was called his or her Valentine.
Geo. W. Blair, recently Of the Waukegan
Patriot, is publishing in that city obituary
cards, and memorial tablets for framing,
which are decidedly beautiful and appropri-
ate for the purpose for which they are de-
signed, and he is having large sale for
these good all over the country. The obitu-
airy cards are designed for mailing, convey
ing the intelligence of deaths of friends, and
the memorial tablets are for keeping ever
fresh in memory the departure Of those who
we're near and dear. These latter represent
cross, entwined with immortelles, set upon
a marble pedestal, at the base of which there
is a space in which he prints the name of
the deceased, with age and time of death.
and an appropriate verse, and in the left
hand corner is an oval in which q photo
graph of the deceased may be placed. They
are intended for framing and hanging upon
the wall. and are neat and cheap, selling for
so cents each. Mr.. Blair has copyright
on these tablets.
The party givea by the Ladies' Park Asso-
citation on Monday evening was not altogeth.
err success, financially, though the people
present were from the fashionable circles, the
music was fine, and the whole affair all that
could be desired, except that the inclemeDt
weather and other ill-featured circumstances
precluded the realization of so good fnsn-
cial result as was anticipated. There was no
lack of energy and work on the part of the
ladies, and they deserve every credit. Some
OF our citizens believe what was suggested in
these columns last summer, that the expenses
of these parties are too great, that less ex.
pensive music, answering the same purpose
as Chicago band, could be employed, and
that invitations could be issued with less re-
serve, and made more general. All are in
terested in the park improvement, and, if
permitted would be willing to contribute &C.
cording to their means. Any public improve.
ment depending upon popular favor cannot
succeed unless conducted on liberal instead
of aristccratic principles.
On Sunday night last, Mr.. Emil Beyers-
dorfer was assaulted by young man
on the sidewalk near the depot, and was
threatened with shot from pistol, which
proved to be unloaded. 1t seems
that about eight o'clock in the evening Mr..
Beyersdorfer came out of the residence Of
Mr. Ralph Hazen, with Mr.. Hazen himself;
that shortly after > proceeded north toward
Grand street, and was followed closely by
the young man. Mr.. Beyersdorfer reached
Mrs. Jaeger's hotel, and was in the act of
going in when the fellow aimed pistol at him,
to shoot. Mr.. Beyersdorfer at
once wrenched the weapon from his hands.
The fellow was promptly pursued and arrested
by officer Thos. Hunt and lodged in Jail. On
Monday he was brought before Justice
Gillett, charged with the offence described,
and, pleading not guilty. the case was ad-
journed for one week, the defendant giving
bail in the sum Of two hundred dollars for
his appearance at that time. At the request
of his father, we refrain from publishing the
young mans name this week.
The Mardi Gras festival at Milwaukee on

of people from every portion Of the State, and
many from adjoining states. A large num-
