Miss Louisa Hilliard and Miss Amelia
Bell, both members of q New York opera
company, met in q private room in the
Metropolitan hotel aud battled for twenty
minutes with ali the fury of Amazons for
the affections # q mutual admirer. The
weapons were fencing foils. Blool was
drawn, gowns were torn. sharp adjectives
were exchanged aud altogether the affair
was a feminine cyclone. One of the Sec
onds at the fencing bout said that the
name of the young man is W. b. Merrill
and that he is a resident of Pittsburg.
On the stage the rivals showed their in
tense dislike for each other. and on more
than one occasion the sham fighters lost
their temper and slashed at one another
regardless of the music to which they are
supposed to keep time. Louisa imagined
that favo1itism was shown her rival by the
manager OF the company and this profess

that fired her bosom. The belligerents

Both girls were expert fencers. A sudden

Miss billiards shoulder. That ended the
first round aud Miss Engelhard refused to
allow the contest to proceed without face

and at it the girls went hammer and tongs.
Miss Bell scored three points and Miss

Behavior.

A Priest Scores Society People for BAD
Behavior.
An indictment of scandalous proper
lions has been presented against the .best
society" of st. Louis by o Catholic priest,
backed by a host Of witnesses. Lately ut
st. Alphonsus' Catholic church James
Hunt Lucas and Prudence NJ. HUT we're
the contracting parties in the most FASH
ionable wedding of the year. The wealth.
lest and most exclusive circles of st. Louis
we're strongly represented, as the bride
and groom we're connected with the most
ultra fashionables. No one was allowed
in the church without a card Of invitation.
The people who attended the wedding
showed themselves 30 devoid Of respect,
not to say common decency, that they
were threatened with expulsion from the
sacred edifice. They talked, laughed,
joked, stood on seats, passed around
candy, and even hung their wraps on
images and in the confessionals. Father
Brown denounced them from the altar. A
witness says:
"1nthe first place a great number of ladies
were in full dress, which in itself was
shocking, for when they were all seated an
observer was inclined to think they had
come to witness q theatrical show, and not
the performance Of o solemn ceremony in
the house Of God. They showed no re-
spect whatever for the place they were in.
They talked, joked and laughed, and even
passed around candy to while away the
time. Twice Father Brown came out and
endeavored to effect quiet. The first time
he exhorted, the second he threatened.
Both his threats and his exhortations were
equally unavaiiing. In fact. some of the
people, instead Of being stung to the quick
by his just rebukes, were highly offended
ct what he said and continued their dis.
graceful conduct. When the bridal party
finally arrived the people abandoned all
idea Of propriety. They stood upon the
seats Of the pews and sat down on the
backs in order to obtain agood view"

GEN. GARFlELD'S BODY
SOME NEW AND REMARKABf.E STARE.
MENTs ABOUT II.

To Avoid Desscratlon It IL Said to Have
Lam for Years In Obscurtiy-Soon to -
observation-disclosures News.
The Garfield monument at Cleveland,
o.. is completed and preparations are now
making Tor the dedication, which is to take
place early In the spring. At that time the
remains OF President Garfield will be
placed in the permanent sepulchre beneath
the monument.
In view of the approaching transfer Of
these remains from Lake Wow cemetery Il
is now possible to relate an astounding
story respecting the disposition which has
been male of the late presidents body for
the last four years. When Gardeld's
remains were deposited in IN elab-
crate vault in Lake View cemetery
it was announced that they would be kept
there until the time came to make .,
permanent disposition OF them. After the
funeral the heavy casket was placed in the
sarcophagus within the vault, which could
be viewed from the path outside through .
massive iron grating. The suspicion which
the robbery of the grave of Mr.. Stewart
had occasioned respecting the existence
of an organized baud of grave robbers in
duced the government to take special meas.
ures to prevent any such violation OF this
tomb. BY direction Of secretary Lincoln
a special guard Of United States troops
was stationed at the tomb with instruc-
tions never to leave it unprotected. For
five years this tomb was constantly under
the eyes OF soldiers, night and day.
About q year after Secretary Endicott
succeeded Lincoln as secretary Of war, he
decided that it was unnecessary longer to
maintain the guard there. He therefore
caused orders to be issued returning the
soldiers to their regimental head
quarters. This caused the personal
friends of the Garfield family in
Cleveland serious apprehension, for
some intimation had been received from
detectives that the possibility of despoil-
ing the temporary vault had been suggested
to certain Chicago ghouls. The revelation
Of an attempt to steal the body of Abraham
Lincoln in Springfield adled to the anxiety
of these friends, and after considerable
consultation they decided they would
do themselves what the govern
ment had declined longer to UNDER
take. Four prominent citizens selected
an obscure vault in q remote:portion of the
cemetery grounds and one night proceeded
there and themselves removed the casket
to its hiding place. The task was a severe
one and n Of thelgentlemen.strained him
self 80 badly that he has never since fully
recovered The work of removal and
obliterating all traces of what they
had done, both at the old and ne1
vaults, occupied the whole night.
From that time until this the remains
have lain in this remote nook of the
cemetery, a tomb utterly neglected and
never glanced at by the casual observer who
happens to pass by. On the other hand,
thousands of persons in the past four years
have visited tho temporary resting place OF
Garfield, and, as they supposed, paid silent
homage to the memory OF the president
whose remains they believed to be reposing
within the sarcophagus.

Little tots soon feel the intOxicatiOn of

tendency to kick over the traces of home

heaps of good, toe. One such was one
day repFOved by her mamma for racing

dress on.
''Fie, for shame, Nanny! Where was

Il was in such hurry to dig hole in

In my third picture is a correct repre-
sentatiOn of a prevailing style IN big hats
"a fancy straw, trimmed with feathers
and ribbon. You must always bear in
mind that, as feathers don't possess the
dressv, SNOWY characteristics of flowers,
you must be spOndingiy careful in
securing correct and becoming cOmb5na-
tiOns of color For instance, take q gray
straw and trim it with gray ostrich
feathers, and then throw in Just a touch
of canary in sundrY knots of narrow vel
vet; a yellow tuscan with heliOtrope vel
vet; or white with the merest brushful
of orange to liven up the field Of color.
Flowers are getting too common eZ-
claims the fastidiOus Miss Gabrielle st.
Clair. Hence this delicate damsel affects
nothing but ostrich fe-thers. and plenty
brims Of her hats have taken on several
inches in width since she resolved to
escheW flowers.
But don't think that flowers are going
out Of fashion. Far from it. I saw a
very stylish big hat made of black lace
straw, with an extraordinary brIm, and a
crown of pale-pink lisse. The back OF
the brim was arched upwards, and the
space inClCsed was flied IN with a per
feet bank of pale-pink roses. The effect
was indescribably stunning on the girl
who wore it. Her skin was absolutely
without yellow, and her cheeks glOWed
like blush roses. 1t was a sight to dis
turb the eqUsnimity Of a geOmetrician.
Very eccentric girls are affecting a
stvIs Of big hat known as the crank, p
because the brim is Crumpled up In the
most fantastic manner. They don't take
very we'll, for not one girl in ten thou
sand looks pretty when she affects the

which piQuancy ceases and the uncOuth
begins, and the thing is TO know exactly
where to draw the line. My friend Bob
