Death Of Mrs. r. B. higgins.

q.
Mrs. Laura Higgins, wife Of Mr.. Il.
B. Higgins, diedut their home, Lawn
Park, near.this place, Saturday eve
ming, August 3lst. Funeral services
were held in the G. P. Church Sun
day evening following by the pastor,
Dir. Stainback, and the remains were
inferred in the new cemetery. Z
Mrs. Higgins was born in New
Goshen, Ind, May Sth, 1851. She
was married to Mr.. r. B. Higgins on
the Dist day Of October, 1880. The
family moved from Wisconsin to
this place about 4 years ago. She
had been an invalid for about two
years, and often remarked that she
never expected to recover. She ex-
perienced religion more than year
ago, and through an unwavering
faith in Christ was enabled 10 bear
her sufferings with patience and for
titude. Many times while suffering
intensely a heavenly smile would il
lumine her countenance as she would
exclaim, sob how sweet to trust in
Jesus" Through these trying hours
she was conscious to the end, and her
last audible words were prayer for
the weeping loved ones around her.
She leaves a kind and affectionate
husband and two bright little chill
dren to mourn the loss of a beloved
companion and mother, and her aged
parents also survive her. The sorrow
ing ones have the profoundest sym1
pathy Of many friends in this their
adopted home in their great loss.

prevails that so far but few apples

ADJUSTMENTS.
Yesterdays Performances at Jackson
MOund.

Despite threatening clouds, good au-
dence assembled at Jackson Mound Park
yesterday afternoon to witness the presen-
tation by the Deshon Opera Company OF
Audran's three-act opera, ia Mascotte."
Tie popular verdict at the close was
'Goodl" Lorenz, in the hands OF Frank
Deshon, was impersonated in the rare
style Of this fine comedian, who is rapidly
becoming q great favorite with Mem
phians. The Bettina OF Miss May Duryea
at once enlisted her as favorite, and the
audience recalled her several times. The
remainder OF the company were well up
in the different characters, and IL is GER
tain that the Deshon Company will here
after receive the patronage due TO artists
OF their class.
In the evening at $50 o'clock Gilbert &
Sullivan's "Mikado" was the attraction, and
the largest audience of the season was
present. 81 have witnessed the presenta-
ton OF 'Mikado' by every company that
has ever appeared in Memphis. said
Prof. Arnold last night to an APPEkL re-
porter, "but in all my experience | have
never seen il presented with such rare ef-
feet rs the Deshon Company presented it
tonight. Tho company is the best drilled
one that ever played 'Mikado' in Mem
phis, and Jackson Mound Park should
have large audiences at every performance
given by this fine company OF artists"
The Mikado, by @. H. Osborne; Nanki
Poo, in the hands OF Harry Nelson;
Kaiisha, impersonated by Marie Drossler,
and tho Poo-Bah Of ]. +. McSweeney,
were rendered with fine effect. Miss May
Duryea, as Yum.Yum, sang and acted the
character TO perfection. She was in fine
voice and her captivating manner won her
many admirers. Ko-ko, by Frank De-
shon, captured the audience, who de-
manded encore upon encore, seeming
never TO tire OF his cccentrioities. As
comedian Mr.. Dcshon has few equals and
no superiors, his cit Willow" song
last night receiving four oncores, while
his scene with Katisha stamped him an
actor OF rare dramatic force, Miss Dresser
making decided hit in the latter charac-
ter. All in all, the company is good, the
chorus well drilled and possessing fine
voices, and music lovers viii no doubt be
on hand in force At future performances.
"Mikado" will be the bill during the re-
mainder OF the week and Saturday matt
nee.

some secret power in it, which renders the

to the young men, and is a sort OF talisman

Tor the wearer. There is another similar
society in one OF the swell boarding schools

the carriers are transferred to girls outside
OF the society, and they then become
members. About the latest thing in the
yellow garter craze was shown by promi-
nent belle, who, after she had been mar
ried and was about to take carriage
awaiting at the door, threw her bridal bou-
quet to one OF her bridesmaids. The stems
OF the white roses were found to be clasped

buckle, on which was engraved the mono
gram Of the lady and space enough left for
another monogram beside it.
