DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.

A fair audience saw the blood
curdling dramatization of Steven
sons thrilling story, DIR. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde, at Kabrich's Monday
night. Many have read this
strange story, but those who have
neither witnessed the play nor
read the book, will be interested in
a brief outline of it. DR.. Jekyll is
an English scientist who believes
in the duality of our natures. He
is a student of the transcendental
in chemistry and after many years
of study succeeds in preparing a
potion, which, when drunk, sud-
denly transforms the peaceful,
loving, kind hearted DR.. Jekyll into
a fiend incalnate. The mysterious
liquor, quatfed again, restores the
new creation to its former self.
Jekyll soon discovers that he may
commit all sorts of crime, even to
murder, in his new life, and when
restored feel no pangs of con-
science. So he names his other
being Mr.. Hyde, 1nstructs the
servants of his household to obey
the newcomer under all circum-
stances, and even makes his will
in favor of Edward Hyde. Hide
finally murders a man. Jekyll,
when himself, hears of it, and re-
solves to have nothing more to do
with the dangerous drug that trans
forms him into a beast. But the
bad has so thoroughly permeated
his better nature that Hyde fire.
quently turns up when Jekyll
least wants him, without even the
use ofthe drug. Adouble quantity
is now necessary to restore DR..
Jekyll, and finally his supply runs
out. With all means of restora-
ton gone, and now with a full ap-
probation of the enormity of his
offenses, the miserable Edward
Hyde ends his existence by means
of poison; and when the life of the
miserable wretch has passed out,
the calm and placid features of DR..
Jekyll take their place in death.

Eating in 1887,

Walter Bessant in "Fifty Years Ago."
The dinners were conducted on primi
tive principles. Except in great houses,
where the meat and game were carved
by the butler, everything was carved
on the table. The host sat behind the
haunch of mutton and helped with zeal;
the guests took the ducks, the turkey,
the hare, and the fowls, and did their
parts, conscious of critical eyes. A din
ner was terrible ordeal for young
man who, perhaps, found himself called
to dissect "a pair OF ducks. He took up
the knife with burning cheeks and per-
spring nose; now, at last, an imposter-
one who knew not the ways of polite so,
ciety, would be discovered; he
began to feel for the joints, while
the cold eyes OF his hostess gazed re-
proachfully upon him-ladies in those
days knew good carving, and could
carve for themselves. Perhaps he had,
with ghastly grim, to confess that he
could not find those joints. Then the
dish was removed and given to another
guest, horribly self-reliant creature,
who laughed and talked while he deX-
terously sliced the breast and cut off the
legs. II, in his agony, the poor wretch
would take refuge in the bottle, he had
to wait until some one invited him to
take wine-horrible tyranny The
dinner table was ornamented with a
great epergne of silver or glass. After
dinner the cloth was removed, showing
the table deep in color, lustrous, well
waxed, and the gentlemen began real
business with the bottle after the ladies
had gone.

Egyptian Temples.

Scribner's Magazines: Neither the
boldest immagination nor the most ex-
act study can enable us to form an ade-
quate conception of the splendor of an
Egyptian temple in its perfect state.
The vast space it occupied; Its lofty
gateways; the long avenues of sphinxes;
the glittering obelisks and the lifelike
expression of the monstrous statues,
form a combination of most imposing
architectural grandeur. The aesthetic
qualities OF these structures cannot be
briefly summed up. AS we ponder them
we shall be willing to acknowledge, for
we shall discover, the exceptional con-
structive power of the ancient archi-
tects; we shall see how closely they fol-
lowed nature, and at times drew as we'll
upon foreign art, though always pre-
serving their own principles of form
We shall also observe how fancy and
feeling" are displayed in their temple
decorations. Besides, there is always
one grand imaginative vein running
through all their, work which ex-
presses the principal idea of their faith
-imperishability.-r

A Story OF Il reconstruction Days.

Chicago Tribune: Ben Butler, it is
said, lately caused the president to
withdraw local nomination. AS Ben
is not an admirer of Mr.. Cleveland, and
has never been afraid to say so, this ac-
tion might cause some surprise. But
under the circumstances the president
could hardly fail to take the course he
did. The nomination which was with
drawn was that of w. Hallett Phillips
to bc one Of the arbitrators in the case
of Samuel Strong against the District
of Columbia. Strong is a contractor
who seeks to have some claims against
the district settled by a board of arbi-
tr tors. General Benjamin II. Butler is
his counsel. Congress some time ago
authorized the appointment OF three ar
bitrators by the president. The latter
nominated Phillips, who is a native of
Louisiana, for one of the offices put at
his disposal. Now, Phillips is the son
of the woman who was arrested and ban
ished TO Ship Island by General Butler
for splitting into the faces of union SOL
diers in the streets of New Orleans
after that city had been occupied by the
union forces. General Butler, as soon
as he heard Of the appointment, is said
to have demonstrated with the presi-
dent, because, as counsel for his client,
he would prejudice the case Of the latter
by having it submitted to a man whose
mother he had been compelled to i'm
prison. The president demurred at
first, but finally yielded, and appointed
Joseph Darlington in the place of
Phillips.

of humanity circulated about them while
many ladies and gentlemen on horseback
cantered or trotted. about the inner circle,
making the scene as lively one as was
ever looked on. The weather was perfect.
Not cloud was in the sky, but strong
wind blew from the northwest most of the
afternoon, tempering the severity OF the
suns rays. The MeadervilIe band was
in the grand stand and played choice
selections at intervals. The waits be-
tween the various events were tedious
and some effort should be made to avoid
this in future. There were several weari
some starts that tended to lessen the en-
thusiasm OF the spectators and wore the
spectators patience out. The races.dragged

Johnson, IN the course OF time, secured a
divorce, aud Alexander and Mrs. Johnson,
on learning OF the fact, stated that they
had marriage ceremony performed, but
no proof to that effect has been offered.
Alexander hearing of the charge OF Jorge
ry against him, rel urned here in company
with Mrs. johnson to meet and as he
hoped disprove it. In this he was unsuc-
cessful and Saturday was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary.
johnson was one of the witnesses in the
case, and during the trial showed on more
than one occasion that he was iaboring
under strong excitement.
Saturday night he met his fathless wife
in front of the Brunswick Hotel, and draw
ing a revolver, fired three shots at her, IN
fiicting wounds that will likely prove fatal.
He then turned the weapon upon himself,
and sent ball through his breast, which
penetrated his lungs and will probably
cause his death. A stray ball struck a by
stander named Long, u travelling man, IN
flicting q flesh wound. The shooting oc'

New YORK, July 5.-Four men are locked
up at police headquarters, charged with
having acted in concert for months to rob
the wholesale grocery firm of Thurber,
Whyland & Co.
John Brady was twelve years porter
for the firm, but now has a little grocery
store in Brooklyn. He has received and
disposed of stolen goods to the amount in
value of thousands of dollars. Henry
Wellington, an express truck man, has
carted away the stolen goods with Others
designed for shipment, and forwarded them
to Brady's address in Brooklyn.
Henry Bushet and James Mccormick,
clerks in the store of Thurber, Whyland &
Co., have been INSIDE confederates in the
combination. Brady has confessed his part
in the combination and has implicated the
other three.
The stolen goods consisted of sugar in
barrels, coffee in sacks and other commodi-
ties in bulk.

A MUCH DIVIDED COUNTY.
Two Sets of officers, and Each Claiming
Sole Jurisdiction.

sole jurisdiction.
CHICAGO, July "A special from Topeka,
Kansas, says that from information re-
received by the Attorney General, it ap-
pears that the county seat fight which has
been waged in Hamilton County for two or
three years past. and which it was thought
would be settled at the election held Thurs.
day, is in a worse stage than ever before.
The excitement is intense. and is likely to
result in bloodshed.
The election was held Thursday.and the
principle competitors for the county seat
were Syracuse and Coolidge. The lection
was a very exciting one and there was a
great deal OF ballot-box stuffing and fraud.
The latest trouble grows out OF the fact
that there are two sets OF County Commis-
sioners, each claiming to be the lawfully
elected board. The Syracuse election re-
turns were returned to the Syracuse Board
OF Commissioners, and the Coolidge and
Kendall returns to the Kendall Board.
The Syracuse Board canvassed and de-
clared for Syracuse, and the other Board
declared for Coolidge though neither
Board had complete returns.
Two separate county governments have
been established, and there are now two
sets OF officers, each claiming to be legally
elected. No one is allowed to enter either
town until he has proved satisfactorily
that he has no interest in the other town.
