Tickets for the opera festival and Abb

take advantage OF the last opportunity TO

TUE WEATHER WAS CmLLY.-During
the engagement of "Only farmers
Daughter" company at the Detroit opera
house, an amusing episode transpired,
not on the bill of fare. In the I'd act,
Harold LennoX, the wealthy author, steps
across his elegantly furnished studio to
his iron-bOund safe TO obtain the money
for Nine. Laurenps trip to New Orleans.
Well, now, Manager Charley Shaw con-
sders it chilly weather when he gets left.
Chas. had been approached on several
occasions by the solicitor for an enter
prising safe firm with the request that the
name of the concern be painted in large let
tiers on the first safe, which, as a bit OF stage
decoration or as a necessary property,
would be introduced. Learning from the
stage manager that safe was a promi-
ncnt feature of one OF the scenes in the
play to be produced, he instructed his
scenic artist TO label it with the name of
the aforesaid firm, and he sent batch of
passes to its members ole wanted a
small safe for his Office. The first night
found the firm, with all its employees with
their female appendages, present When
the curtain rose in the third act Of the
drama, the safe, with its glaung sign, was
the most prominent feature of the stage
setting, and Joy was depicted on the
countenances of the vendors OF
that particular make. But this
Joy was bu. short-lved, alas.
alasl The dialogue became omiuous in
it's unmstakable suggestions of q bur
glary. 1t was evident, by the expressed
aud implied reliance placed upon the alb
solute security of the safe, that it was tC
prove no obstacle TO the yillainy OF the
villain. The poor fellows in the audience,
whose name, glaringly fabricated stared
every one in the face, began to get very
uneasy. But there was nothing to be
done. The play went on aud the whole
audience was treated to the sight OF the
celebrated Blank burglar-proof safe brok
en- open and rifed OF its contents in forty
seconds by the watch. The manager die
not get his safe.

lis this no longer the land OF chiyalryD,
TO vindicate myself from the charges OF

from the superintendent that O'Clock

mary examination. The residence of Mr..
K. w. Harris, residing in the Third ward.
was burglarlzed yesterday morning and n
lady's cloak, a small sum of money and
several small articles distracted. Maha-
ley was suspected by the police and by
dogging her steps some of the stolen arti-
Giles were recovered. With characteristic
complacency she declared she found
them, but when this little story
is repeated to a Tarrant county Jury,
Mahaley Is likely to encounter cold,
hard vein Of doubt. The prisoner has
made considerable reputation as a Third
ward crook, but sufficient evidence was
never accumulated to convict her. Once
she was incarcerated in the calaboose for
the theft of sum of money, which a
thorough search failed TO reveal on her
person. 0flicer Darby assured her that
her innocence was established and that
she was soon TO be released. Then ne
retired and watched her through a hole in
the cell. Mahaley Immediately rolled
down her stocking and brought out the
money. Some of the articles stolen yes
terddy were found in her stocking. The
evidence in this case was conclusive, but
on account of other circumstances not
fiatterlng TO the loser, the grand Jury
failed TO indict. II looks at present, how

LADIES'.

Nearly all ladies are aware that tho Pnais
Royal Is noted for variety and cheapness of
Hand kerchiefs, but our Oldest and most en-
thusi astic patrons will be surprised 1--WE sur
prise ourselves) at the endless variety and
the remarkably low prices of the new stock
of fall STYLES In Handkerchief
In LINEN HANDKERCHlEFS we come
to the front with $50 dozen of warranted
pure Linen llandkerchiefs, with fancy col
Qred hemstitchcd borders, at l2lc each. We
have always kept lIandkerchefs at 12lc, so
have our competitors; but never in our his
tory, and never in the record Of competing
merchants, have there been offered such
styles, such quality, such quantity. This
would be idle talk, and worse than useless,
IL we could not substantiate what we say,
and we are not such fools as not to know Il.
We do know, and we do claim the largest
stock, the most variety, and the best quality
llandkerchicfs for 12lc In Washington city.
Our sheer Linen Handkerchief at 19c are as
good quality as those we have sold previously
for &c. We have the herring-bone hem
stitched borders in plain white: also coored
borders in quaint Egyptian designs, aud
some with wiue colored borders In combina-
ton colors, which are new and pleasing to
the eye, and, being the sheercst linen,
equally pleasing to the nose. For CSC we
surpass ourselves-all previous exhibitions
are nowhere. We have ~ different designs
in borders, and the quality OF linen given Is
equal 60 any Handkerchiefs heretofore sold
for 35 and 4Sc. One style, particularly strik-
ing, is the "Nenpolitan,n being combina-
tiOn of colors, such as pink and white, blue
and white, ecru and white; each quarter of
the Handkerchief being a different color.
Another pretty style is Handkerchief with
big black star or square in the center and
with hemsttched border to match. We also
have Initial Handkerchiefs, genuine hand
embroidered, for 25c. Space will not admit,
nor will our ability suffice to describe the
wondrous, incomprehcnsiblc, mathematical,
geometrical, floral, and other styles Of fancy
colored borders, which are shown in our CSC
Ilandkerchiefs. We forgot to mention plain
white Handkerchief at 25c. We have them
with raised tucked borders, double hem
stitched, dice ptt.ern, and various other
styles of borders. OF course we have Hand
kcrchicfs at 3j, 4S, GS, 20, CSC, $l.25, $l.50,
Sl.GS, and Sl.0S; but, as you see we have no
space for description, however, we can and
do respectfully request you to inspect our
new stock. Please don't fail to ask to see
our China silk lIandkcrchiefs at 39c. We
have them in white, pink, blue, and cardinal.
They are u bargain, indeed.
