Ex-Governor Blackburn will shortly
open the doors of a private asylum for the
care of the insane. He has leased for the
purpose the elegant and commOdiOus
building erected by the city for an erup-
tive hospital, but never used, and
which has been lying on her hands
like white elephant. 1t is admirably
adapted to the purpose of an asylum,
being far enough from the city limits
to escape the tumult of the town, and
large enough to accommodate quite a
number of patients. 1t is to be elegantly
fitted up, and maintained and managed
upon the plan of the best private asylums
in the East; will have a corps of resident
visitors, and Will be under the personal
supervision and management of DR.. Black

Will in all respects be what it is repre-
scented. Since the State institutions are
so shamefuly corrupt in their manage
ment, persons who would hesitate place
afflicted friends there Will hail this new
refuge, where patients will receive the
most skillful and careful treatment, as

The avenues leading toward the jockey
Club Grounds begin to be quite lively
these spring mornings with vehicles and
jockeys and prancing steeds. Jay-Eye-See
arrived a week or so since and was as
signed quarters out at the club stables,
where he has been holding leYees in great
state ever since. The usual and unmis-
taxable symptoms preceding the spring
meeting of the club begin to show them

shortly be in order.
In the Musical Festival to take place in
Birmingham, Ala, in May, two Louis
vile musicians will prominently partci-
pate-Prof. Eichorn and his fine orchestra
and Mrs. Lucy Cary Freidenheimer, a To-
cal vocalist, whose voice would win lau
rels on any lyric stage. When Louisville
gives big blowout she imports artists
from the great Eastern markets. 1t makes
a community feel as though it had a stiff
backbone somewhere when it finds a
Southern festival sending up here for us
to lend our talent to the occasion. We
are getting on in the world. it will be OBJ
served.
''The Strangers of Paris" which held
the boards here not long since, brought
back to us Miss Selena Fetter in the only
feminine role in the caste. She was
greeted with a large audience of old
friends anxious to see her. Although her
part is very slight, she only appearing in
the last act, Miss Fetter makes of the
part all that can possibly be made Of it
and the rest Of the piece is wretched trash.
but the young actress shows her mettle in
it. Her friends and admirers hope to see
her soon in something better fitted to give
her scope.
MISS NINA BACHELOR, WHOSE PICTURE
has lately been accepted bv the Paris

being heard from. Two or three years
ago she made her debut here as an elocu-
zionist, and developed such decided his
triOnic talent that it was predicted her
lasting triumphs would be won before the
f0Otlights. She is niece of the late DIR.
John Bull, of SarSaparilla and cough
syrup fame, and some two years since
went to Europe with his widow. 1t was
only after settling in Paris that she
began to study art with some def
mite aim. A head of '.Neo-
polltan girl'' and portrait of her mother,
finished and sent over to the Southern EX-
position last fall, were placed in the art
gallery not long before its close and were
greatly admired. Now that she has pro-
duced something worthy to hang on the
walls of the salon after but little more
than years study and training, the
critics are justified in their fiattering out
look for her future. In the role Of an
American beauty, Miss Bachelor also
wakes up the American colony in Paris.
Her reddish gold hair and very black
eyes, with her blonde complexion, make
her sufficiently striking type to attract
attention anywhere.
HMiss Bachelor is the second Louisville
lady whose picture has found niche in
the salon, the first being Miss Cornelia
Perrin, the daughter Of the late Prof. Per-
rim, Principal of one of the oldest and best
known academies in Louisville. Miss
Perrin, who now has studio i'm Paris,
painted her salon picture some four or five
Years ago.
