These cards We're received by many
Of the friends to whom they were ad
dressed within twenty-four hours after
the event had occurred. The cards
were in Mrs. Paranore's handwriting,
and the effort in writing them in all
probability brought On the fever which
caused her death.
She made her debut III society on her
seventeenth birthday at party given
in her honor by her mother. From the
night of her debut she took afront rank
as a beautiful girl, and soon had the
name Of being the belle OF ST. Louis.
The great social successes Of Nellie
Hazeltine are too many and too we'll
known to need recounting. In her
twentieth year she visited the Eastern
watering places, and on Dec. 2,
1881, she was married to,
Mr.. F. W. Paramore, son Of Col. J. w.
Paramore, president of the Texas < st.
Louis railway. The wedding was SOL
e1nnized in Philadelphia 10y the bishop
of that Episcopal diocese, and was
brilliant affair. From the date of her
marriage she lived quietly with her hus-
band, but indulged i'll many social en-
tertainments, notably the historical en-
campment at the arnory and at dra-
matte performance of the Mccullough
club. She was quite successful as an
amateur actress, her fine Evolutionary
training serving her. III 5.S.
There have been many differences of
opinion on the subject Of Mrs. Para
more's. beauty. Photographers wed
with each other in reproducing her face,
while artists yainly endeavored to put
her features on canvas. As a
girl she was tall and graceful, her figure
being marked by square shoulders, q.
small waist, and the large, free limbs Of
al English woman. Her features were
Grecian. Her face was oval, and her
eyes, which were deep brown, were
large and lustrous. Her hair was her
chief glory, being Of the hue Of burn
ished bronze, a golden red, or what is
more generally known as Titianesque.
She was very intelligent and possessed
many accomplishments. Miss Hazel
tine became known nationally by q re-
port that Samuel ) Tilden had sought
her hand In marriage. .s4

Major HoIIister Talks.

We were kindly asked to take q seat in
the superintendent office, while our
genial friend expressed his satisfaction
with the NEWS, and gave us some in
formation, valuable and cheering. on
the subject Of our Florida Southern
Railway. It was a bright showing, and
the prosperity Of each reacts on the
other in such close relation that YOU can
tell when the town Is healthy byfeeling the
vigorous pulse of the other. 'Far-sighted
and quick in his appreciation Of our
needs, the Major says Palatka must soon
see bulky articles brought from eastern
ports in immense lots by schooners; that
in this way bacon can be placed at our
wharves for a very small fraction over
Baltimore rates, and become the great
resort of our country merchants.
He is satisfied the finest hotel in the
South will be erected at . Sunny Point "
when Mr.. White can be prevailed on to
sell, and that our prosperous railroads
and big-hearted merchants will soon
make Palatka worthy of such q hostelry.

Our Streets.

We are requested by a member Of the
council street committee to say that the
citizens themselves are, in a measure. to
blame for the present condition Of our
thoroughfares. 1t was contemplated by
the ordinance that each householder
should put his garbage in d barrel, placed
within easy reach for the town-cart
But it is thrown carelessly into the
streets and the scavenger must spend
time and labor in collecting boxes. bot
ties, straw, and even trees: for Oak
street is now blocked with trees. taken
from private property, and at this rate a
dozen carts would be necessary. Very
little assistance from the citizens would
save much expense to the town; and
there is also an ordinance allowing pun
ishment to be inflicted for such reckless
disregard of public rights. Our council
can do very little on account Of the
Strengthened condition of our finances
and the utter inefficiency of ourpoIice, but
the pamphlet just issued shows they have
not been idle, and they have certainly
accomplished much in giving to our citi-
zens, for the first time, an accurate
knowledge Of our financial condition.
Give the same council two good police
man and our city would soon wear q diff
ferent aspect.

"PygmaIion and GaIatea. :"

Fry's Opera House was about half fill
ed last evening by most appreciative
audience, the occasion being the presen-
tatiOn of that old yet ever new comedy
''Pygmalion and Galatea" by the Jose
phene Kelley Comedy Co. The comedy
is chaste and beautiful, not only in con
ception but in text as well, the lines
bristling with fine cut sentences. The
company gave q very even performance,
there being much to praise and little to
condemn. While it is manifest the star
is not physically the ideal Galatea,
she still persOnates the ideal conception
with artistic finish and grace. Mr.. Paul
ding made a manly lover, and the sup
port did what was required Of them in
a manner worthy Of commentator. Mr..
Currie made a hit as "Chrysos,' while
Miss Brough though having little oppor-
tunity did that little well. This lady
though young in the art has future if
wisely conserved.
Tonight Shakspere's delightful come
dy g Twelfth Night, will be presented
with the full strength of the company.
In its representation Mr.. Leffingwell and
Miss Dow will be seen to much greater
advantage than last evening.
Manager Miles is entitled to credit in
putting so good a company on the road,
and we trust there may be a large attend
ance this evening to encourage him in
lifting the legitimate drama to a plane
which its merits deserve.
