The Piers Connected.

The false work of the new bridge
across to the Island was practically
completed yesterday, and about three
O'Clock the first plank was laid from the
false work 10 the east pier, and the
route, in one sense, was complete De-
tween Wheeling proper and the Island.
There was considerable interest
manifested over the completion
of the false work, and at
the time the first plank struck the pier
and made the connection, there was
quite anumber of citizens present, many
of whom venturcd out upon the top OF
the false work. During the afternoon
several walked clear across to the Island
end of the bridge.
Everything is in readiness now for
rapid progress with the superstructure,
much of the iron being already hauled
up ready for operating. 1t is expected
that the SuperStructure will be COM
pleted in few days.

Death of n Printer.

weeks, died at the hospital yesterday

removed to the hospital. The bleeding
could not be checked and Appleton
gradually sank until death came.
The deceased belonged in Akron, Erie
county, n. Y and a telegram was sent

Louis Nj.

Mr.. Keene's version of the play pre-
sents Louis NJ. in the same light as
does Sir Walter Scott in "Quent in Dur
ward" and is the joint work of the emf
nent playwrights, Edwin Arden and Ar
den Smith. Both actor and bard agree
in making the character thoroughly
bad. Keene brings out to the fullest
extent the meanness and treachery OF
the old king. His portrayal OF the CHAR
acter represents the King as decrepit
old man, half maniac, and yet possess
ed of deviish shrewdness, at all times
fearful of the loss of his crown, super
stitious as the most ignorant OF his
peasant subjects, and cruel and savage
as a wild beast. Gradually the interest
of the play is worked up, until in the
scene in which he begs the priest to pro-
long his life, he apparently ceases to
act. He is the King. 1t is the truly
great play presented by a great actor,
and will no doubt attract large audi
ence. Mr.. Keene will open at the Opera
House on the 27th.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.
BOY Burglars.

Some time Thursday night several
boys effected an entrance into the rear
OF Divine's shoe store and stole seven
pairs of shoes. The thieves got down
lot of boxes from the shelves and spent
a good while trying on shoes until they
found fit. If they had replaced the
empty boxes on the shelves the robbery
might not have been discovered for
weeks.

The Clevelaud Minstrels.

A bright array of new faces greeted
the audience at the Opera House, and
they went through the sparkling pro-
gramme prepared in highly satlsfac
tory manner. The setting of the stage
for the first part was very striking and
caused much favorable comment among
the audience. The musical numbers
were tout of sight, and there were sew
eral demands for encores. Particularly
satisfactory was the baritone solo Of
Mr.. Edgar Wilson. He has splendid
voice and knows how to use it. Frank
b. Rhodes, the lightning drum-major,
was great card, and the general come
dian work of Rigby, John Queen, the
Russels, Talbert, Edwards and the rest
was as good as could be wished. The
whole entertainment was more than
good-it was great.

Plenty of Game.

Jordan L. Mott, president OF the Harlem
Democratic club, and ex-Congressman Ed
Einstein were recently on a hunting trip in
Virginia. What particular branch OF
hunting they were chiefly engaged in We
do not know, but what we do know is that
one day in the old town of Roanoke they
were hunting something good to eat. The.
entered the restaurant, and asked the sa-
bic attendant what he had that was good
to eat.
"Oh, everything, boss. Anything you
want to order"
Got any oysters?" asked Mr.. Mott.
"No oysters, sab. Oysters jis' out. Ev-
erything else, though, in 'bundance"
How about your fsh?"
"Jis' out of fish. Got bout everything
else
We'll, some game would suit US" said
President Mott. What game have you
got!"
ANY game you want, sab. Billiards in
back room, pool, tenpins in de cellar.
and a very lively game of poker in de third
story, front. More game than anything
else. sab"
The New York party concluded not to
indulge in any game, and sought another
restaurant to satisfy their hunger.-Texas

RORY. FISHER COUNTY.

ROXY, May 3l.-Fisher county is at the
top OF the list this year as an agricultural
county. Her wheat and oat crops will not
be eXcelled, per acre, by any county in the
state. The corn crop At present is very
promising and bids fair to be the heaviest
ever raised in Fisher county. Cotton
throughout the county is in fine condition,
and the acreage this year is far III excess
OF last. The rainfall so far has been i'm
mense, and we apprehend no danger of a
drouth this season. Roby, our county site,
will make some grand strides this year in
the way of improvements. Heretofore she
has been surrounded by large tracts of
land owned by non-residents. who kept
them off the market. The most of them
are now being placed on the market and are
being bought up very fast and put in
farms. The FL Paso four leagues of land
lying just south and adjoining the town are
now being cut up under the supervision of
Beall, Ragland & Beall of this place into
small tracts, and will be placed upon the
market in August on easy terms and long
time. This will add greatly to Roby and
make it such town as will invite capital
and men of enterprise and business.

Dressmakers of the Future,
Third and Main.

DreSsmaiSing is noble art. In the pur-
ity of its ideas it is 4 type of the highest
culture Ladies should go into it, for it
requires the aesthetic instinct and the edu-
Gated taste, and these belong only TO the
higher and more refined temperameg1s
The most beautiful dress we have evessh9d
has been the Greek dress, and in some Pc
RODS, the Roman; that *, according to
real art. But such dress is not available
for our climate. with its abrupt transitions
from heat TO cold, nor for our business vo-
cations and conventional usages. The art
list or dressmaker of the future must study
the laws governing dress as 1t was i'll those
days, and at the same time take into con-
sideration adaptations to climatic and So
cial conditions.
Woman, particularly when she Is beauti-
full, is the most attractive being in the
world, and more pains should be taken to
drape and dress her than with almost any
other branch of art. l 90 not think that
dressmaking has ever revealed the aesthetic
beauty that is possible. We have had
style and fashion, but we have never had
what l regard as the highest forms of art
in dress, and we never can have until such
a time as it is regarded as fine art, in
stead of now as a trade, and until the time
dreSsmakeTs shall be treated with the same
consideration, socially or otherwise, as we
today treat u painter or a sculptor-Mrs.

THE ALTON FINED.
A Decision of Chairman Finley That Causes
Considerable Surprise.

CHICAGO, Ill. May 3l.-A genuine sur
prise was occasioned in railroad circles to-
day by decision of the chairman of the
Western passenger association in which
that official gave the Chicago and Alton
railway severe rap over the knuckles
He holds that if the Alton was not enjoying
equity with its competitors because of the
alleged operation OF the boycott or because
of the alleged continuation of the conditions
under which it was granted, such matters
should have been presented under article
:. section A. for determination within the
extent of the agreement. Fin!ey's decision
is that the Chicago and Alton should pay
over 10 the association 500 for its offense
IN falling TO make effective the rule in
connection with the rate from Kansas
City to St Louis and $500 for similar
offense in regard to the rate from St Louis
and East St Louis TO Chicago. He further
requires that company to report TO him all
tickets sold by il at unauthorized rates be-
tween the points named from May II to
June + inclusive and 10 pay the association
the amount that should have been charged
for such tickets at full tariff rates The
Alton is allowed until June to appeal
from the chairman's decision and it will
probably either take that course or with
draw from the association.

She Pitied the Horses.

A sweet faced. elderly woman was en-
countered in Broadway car the other day
to whom the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals should send medal.
The car stopped in the middle of block to
take somebody on. Before it could start
she rose, signaling to the conductor her de-
sire to leave. A young woman with her
demonstrated: This is not our street,
amt she said. No, but we are within
block, and it will save the horses starting
again. So they left. Everybody who
gives the matter any thought or observa-
ton knows il is the strain to get heavy
car under way which wears upon the ami
mails drawing it, but there are probably not
many people who thus considerably seek
to lessen the necessity at the expense of
extra personal etfort.-New York Times.
