Arrest His Son.

Samuel Goldberg Resisted an Attempt to
Arrest His Son.
Armed with a warrant issued by Justice
of the Peace Youmans, Policeman Dooley
went to the store of Samuel Goldberg, a
grocer, at No. 1929 First street. yesterday.
He wanted to arrest the son of Mr.. Gold
berg. When the father became aware of
the nature of his mission he locked the
policeman into the store to enable his boy
to escape.
Dooley succeeded in attracting the at
tention of Policeman White, who forced
the groceryman to unlock his door, Gold
berg was arrested, This morning before
Justice Stilsing he claimed that the war
rant was for the violation of q city
ordinance and that a Justice of the Peace
has not the necessary jurisdiction to en-
able him to issue a warrant for this cause.
Justice Stilsing agreed with Ehim and said
only Police Magistrates have that right.
1t was then said by Policeman Dooley
that the warrant was for malicious mis-
chief. and if it were it was legal. Judge
Stilsing decided to remand the accused
until the warrant could be obtained from
Justice Youmans.

ance; a hope which it was decreed
should never be fulfilled.
How to press Artisticaiiy.

From the London Truth.
Not one of the four dresses wor by
Sarah Bernhardt in LENA" was ready
before the evening on which she made
her first appearance in that character,
and two OF them arrived when she
was on the stage. If they had been
brought early, she would have been
sure to have got out of conceit with
them and mistrusted their effect, per-
feet as they were in taste, and well
adapted as they were to the part she
had to play. No great actress ever
depended more upon the aid OF those
Zine feathers" that make fine birds"
than Sarah. All the four costumes
We're furnished by Laferriere. Two We're
supposed to be worn in England and
Scotland, and two at Monte Carlo.
They were designed by workwomen
who did them entirely out of their
heads, but who were enabled to see
the famous actress rehearsing. After
they had studied her in her part, they
were given q quantity of stuffs and
told to compose dresses adapted to
the character, situations and the
physiognomy of the star who who was
to wear them. The process of compo-
sition took place IN the mdnneqeta22,
or figure block, a horrid armless and
jointless substitute for the lay figure,
which last no d~ressmaker has yet
used. Nevertheless, Madame La
ferriere's workwomen turned out
cbefS-d'@uU7e. None of the dresses
was weighty. All could, without
risk of being creased, be brought, in
backing them, into a small compass.
Motion was unhampered by them.
They were without stiff Innings, and
not the faintest attempt was made to
give undue development to the dorsal
region. In this respect they should
please Mrs. Cleveland.
| have always held that women
dress women better than the male
creature can. Men have no sense of
the chiffon. They know how to out
line a fine figure. But there are SO
few really statuesque beauties in the
world Female dressmakers under
stand best how to amuse the eye, to
draw it from defects of face and figure,
and they are full of tricks and strata
gems which the masculine brain
is unable to evolve. A dress made
by a clever dressmaker, well up in her
business, is designed with a view
to manslaughter. The other even
ing, at the Varieties / was astonished at
the fine art of which Laferriere's work
women gave proof, in explaining to
me how best to hide the Invasion of
embonpoint, and to seem slim when
slimness is a thing of the past. The
dress should be loose, and the draper
les be kept as much as possible in YER
tical folds, the straight line being here
and there departed from merely to
avoid monotony and stiffness. And
the sleeves ought to be of exaggerated
length, not wide, and pushed up SO as
to wrinkle like the mousquetaire glove.
If they are made to wrinkle all the
way up to the shoulder, so much the
better.

Talking of pictures recalls an inter
esting bit of information regarding
the late Viennese master, Hans Max
art. In comparing the works of the
great painter one cannot help being
struck with the recurrence of two
stately figures, usually the most i'm
portant of the picture. In his
''Diana,n his "Charles V. entering
Antwerp" and many others, these
figures of surprising beauty occur
again and again. The originals of the
pictures are now living in Vienna.
They are the two daughters of Herr
Klinkosch, a leading gold and silver
smith of the city. Klinkosch, the
father, is an expert in his profe sion.
Most of his work consists in designing
presents for the royal family and the
government, as gifts to foreign am
bassadors. Makart was his intimate
friend, and, receiving permission,
painted his daughters as the heroines
of his great paintings. Instantly they
became the rage, and the Viennese
Court, usually so punctilious regard
ing questions of birth, freely welcomed
the beauties im~mortalized by the
brush of the painter. 1t is some
veal now since Makart died, but the
beautiful Klinkosch sisters, although
a little passee, are still seen in Vienna
society. They are both unmarried.

each pupil gave the large audience
a specimen of the work done during

with a selection from Don Pasquale,"

Daniel O'Keefe delivered the opening

gave a fine specimen of English com
position in the shape of a sketch of
Hannibal, and John Z. Farrell read a
Latin letter. vision of Monk

in which they spoke a dialogue in
Latin. Frank G. Jennings translated
some Greek fables into Latin, and

THE FIRE in the Academy of Music
last evening served to demonstrate
the trained efficiency of the enS
ployees, the skill of the firemen and
the courage of the audience. When
the blaze was discovered men
were promptly at work putting
it out, and they succeeded SO
quickly that the play proceeded
with scarcely an interruption.
While the firemen were at work the
spectators remained in their seats and
did not show the slightest symptoms
of a panic. 1t is somewhat singular
that the excitement of a real fire
should have been added to the picture
of a fireman's life given in 1.-The Still

From the Nelo Hauen Palladium.
She told him that men were false,
That love was a dreadful bore,
AS they danced to the Nanon waltz,
On the slippery ballroom floor.
He said that her woman's face,
The crown of her shining hair;
Her subtle feminine grace,
Were haunting him everywhere.
He told her his orders had come
To march with the dawn of day;
A soldier must follow the drum"
No choice but to mount and away.
A sudden tremor of fear
Her rallying laughter smota,
AS he gave her a souvenir,
A button from off his coat.
He went to the distant war,
And fought as a man should do;
But she forgot him afar,
In the passion for something new.
His trinket, among the rest,
She wore 1t her dainty throat;
But a bullet had pierced his breast
Where the button was off his coat.

The First Electric Execution.

1t was to do away with the pomp of
death which inspires greater terror
than death itself that the law was
passed in New York State ordaining
that executions should be effected
with electricity instead of by hanging.
If we may credit the testimony of the
first wretch sentenced to die by the
new process, the attempt is wholly a
failure, and the pomp of death is more
awful than ever to him. He has just
been convicted of chopping up a
woman whom he had persuaded
to desert her home and with whom he
had subsequently quarrelled. Accord
ing to a report of his views on the sub
ject given il an enterprising news
paper, he would not mind being
hanged, but he decidedly objects to
being killed by electricity.
Certainly, so far as the pomp of
death is concerned, little is gained by
the7new law on the criminals side. In
stead of being conducted to the
seaffold, treading in the footsteps, it is
sad to have to say, of many thousand
wretches before him, he will be a
pioneer. The sight of the insulated
arm chair in which he must sit
the contact of the slippers with moist
ened sponges, into which his feet will
be inserted, the grip of the band
which will be placed around his head,
will each infiict a separate torture, the
more agonizing because unknown. 1t
is true that hanging and electricity
both lead to the same end, which is
death, but the pomp of that which is
untried is more awful than that which
is known, and the criminal consider
these little things ever though he re-
alize that only fifteen minutes of life
remain to him.
Added to this come cheerful Tassur-
ances from Warden Durston, of Au-
burn Prison, where the executions are
to take place, to the effect that the
dynamos will soon be in position and
in splendid running order. If all this
were not enough to discomfort a mild
manneredmurderer, languages ancient
and modern are being tortured to yield
words to describe an execution by
electricity and its victim.
