DECORATIONS OF NEW YORK
UnHgRg

In some of the Fifth avenue palaces
the decorative work represents, not only
thousands of dollars, but the combined
taste, skill and labor of artists and
mechanics. In quaint combinations of
colors, richness of drapery, wealth of
carving and the beauty Of the painted
decorations, some Of the apartments of
these private residences are splendid be-
yond description. Many of the rooms
are SO adorned as to illustrate poem,
depict celebrated battle or give form
and expression to some familiar legend
or fable. On the frescoed wall of a
broad hall, for instance, the lover OF
Shakespeare may see his favorite plays
represented, scene by scene, with all the
vigor and feeling of master mind. In
the carved ceiling of an adjoining room
he may look upon the portrayal, in al
most living figures, of some deed OF
knightly heroes, renowned in medieval
history, while the sunlight trickling
through the ornamented window of still
another apartment brings into relief
some exquisite pastoral scene, tender in
its expressiveness and rich in its natural
colors. All of these beautiful things are
striking evidences Of the progress thai
has been made in the art of interior
decoration within the past few years
They have supplanted style of decora-
ton which was without art, without sys
tenn and often without attractiveness.-

AMERIoANs ARRoAD.

Well-bred Americans, says an En-
glish paper, are precisely like all other
well-bred people, and, of course, have
few peculiarities, except that of being
not only very rich, but having q vast
quantity of available ready money tc
spend on any passing fancy. The Amer.
lean lady is entirely different from hel
English sister. She is generally very
vivacious as well as accomplished, and
is also well dressed as well as pretty.
Very fastidious carpers might object thai
she is sometimes over self-conscious
and perpetually conveys the idea that
she Is under arms but she is charming
nevertheless, and wears the prettiest
shoes in the world.

Lawn Party June u.

Next Thursday evening, juno 18th,
the ladies of Fairvicw will give a
lawn party at the residence of the
Misses Darnall, aud We are ready to
predict now that 1t will be one Of the
most successful and pleasant occa-
sions Of the kind that has ever Oc-
Cured in that section. Besides the
splendid supper that will be served
on the ground, and the numerous ice
cream, lemonade and fruit stands
that will furnish refreshments, there
will be several new and novel feat
urcs that cannot fail to add greatly to
the pleasure and interest of the occa-
sion. A post-oillce, art gallery, fish
pond and gypsy tent will. be located
in the large and beautiful yard, and
an open air concert will be given
during the evening, and the best tai.
ent both at home and from abroad
will take part. The ladies have de.
cidcd to divide the proceeds Of the
entertainment equally between The
Cumberland Presbyterian churches
ofllopkinsville and Goshen, and a:
both of these churches are at present
greatly in need, it is worthy object
and should be lberafy patronized
Let all who possibly can attend. A
pleasant evening is positively guar
anteed to all present. The roads
will no doubt be in fine condition
and as it is a nice drive, we hope oul
city will be largely represented a
the entertainment. G. L. X.

KILLING AT 1oNav1Ew.
Ed. steger Kills Jesse Bull
lock, col.


Edward L. Stegar shot and fatally
wounded a negro named Jesse Hart,
alias Bullock, near Longview last
Tuesday morning. The wife of Bull
lock, Il woman who goes by the name
of Nellie Johnson, had been employed
as cook by Steger but some differ
ence had arisen and she had been dis
charged. Bullock came to make a
settlement for his wife and the settle
ment showed Stcger indebted to her
for $3.50. Not having the change he
went TO his mothers, near by, to get
il and his mother informed him that
she had sold the johnson woman a
cloak which she had not paid for and
asked him to hold back the $l.50 for
her. Stegcr returned and declined to
pay the money to Bullock, giving the
above reason. This inccnsed him
very much and he left and bad blood
existed for some days.
1t is said Bullock had openly made
threats and had been seen buying
cartridges at the neighborhood store.
Some of Steger's friend had warned
him to. keep his eyes open and his
powder dry as Bullock was a bad
and desperate negro. On Tuesday
morning Steger started from his
house to set out tobacco. AT his
gate he met Bullock who began TO
curse and denouncc him and hot
words passed and the quarrel COLI
tinued until Bullock drew Bulldog
pistol and taking aim at StegcI
pulled the trigger, but the weapon
snapped. Stcger then drew his pis-
toll and shot Bullock as he was in the
act of shooting again. The ball
struck him in the right side intlicting
mortal wound. Bullock then fired
at Stegcr, the ball passing between
lis arm and body, but missing him,
Bullock lived until Wednesday
night, and we understand, stated be-
fore he died that he tried to kill Ste
ger and that hc would have done SC
/
if his pistol had not snapped the first
time.
Steger came to town yesterday and
gave himself up. He is young man
about % years old, only recently
married, and belongs to one of the
best families in the county. He has
always been a quiet, peaceably dis
posed young man and from the evil
dence there is lao doubt that he killed
Bullock to save his own fife. The
shooting was done Oh his own prem
Uses and only after an attempt had
been made to shoot him. lie ha:
employed Messrs. Henry " Payne Il
conduct his case and the examining
trial will be held before the Long,
view magistrates tomorrow, The
negro was young man, aud his rep
utation was any thing but good. Ii,

a ncighbor who knew him wei
lie sought to kill and was himsel
slain.
