today it will be all right. Her singing,
nevertheless, was greatly appreciated,
and sine received much applause ana some
elegant roses. Her imitation OF Nine.
Theoi In Where are you Going. My Pretty
Maid?'' was excellent, and when she sang
''Will You Come Out and PIayp" a storm
of applause greeted her. Miss Jarbeau
also made a hit in Il May Be This" and
some Spanish love songs.
The company throughout the three acts
rendered very good support, and a num-
Der of excellent solos and choruses were
rendered. Miss Jarbeau's costumes were
marvels as works of art and were greatly
admired by the feminine portion OF the
audience.
Ross Snow was a decided success as a
musical cfankw with theatrical ideas, aud
Harry Crandall made a very, good assist

The sylvia Athletic Club of the Fourth

ler's Hall last night. A large humber OF
ladies' were present aud they enjoyed the
programme immensely. After an over

next gave q very interesting exhibition of

over-Dressing Our Children.
Idon't think any or Ms like to think OF
u babies being sacrificed to their clothes
and while a little lady will see that she
does not muss or soil her gown, still it is
a little hard for her to be hampered by
the consciousness that her frock is
her first consideration. DAM Fashion
has offered us suitable styles and SEN
sible materials for our children, aud
If we do not dress them properly nobody
will be to blame but ourselves. Not very
long ago | heard Il nurse in one OF the
parks make u queer comment on a much
over-dressed child. The poor little tot
had On silk stockings, shoes with ridicul-
Gus heels, y silk frock, a white hat Ia
dened with blue feathers and a much

clad, and who were truudling their hoops
and rompiug about searching for good
health, with an air of satisfaction, and
then looking at the over-dressed child she
said:-"She evidently belongs to O tene-
ment house." Although this was rough
and rnde, there was wisdom in it; she
knew where ignorance was the dressing
of such u child would result, and she was
certain that the woman who could count
her money by the millions would never

The Modern Model.
Phidias doubtless owed his mastery OF
form to direct study from the living
model unaided by anatomical science
Not even his models can nave been as
perfect as his sculpture; but his eye was
SO trained by Il constant comparison OF
the finest specimens that he could with
safety make the slight alterations from
the individual that were necessary to pro-
cure an ideal type; that Is, a type free
from individual imperfecJious.
Unfortunately the moderns are under a
great disadvantage In this respect. There
are, no doubt, to be found In Europe, and
especially in Great Britain, as fine and
we'll developed men and women as In the
best days of Greece; but they are very
seldom available for the purposes of the
artist. The modern model nearly always
belongs to a town bred, underfed and I'M
developed class.
Some few fine figures are to be found
among them, but they must lie carefully
sought by an eye trained to appreciate
the highest type. There is none OF that
richness of choice that was offered TO The
ancient artist, and zone of that general
familiarity with fine forms that enabled
him to construct so perfect an ideal

The Clever Aoniss in Two Thieves" at
Library Hall.
The Aonia Society, a musical and dra-
matte organization, composed of u num-
Der of clever amateurs, presented to a
large and appreciative audience in
Library Hall last night. a play entitled
1.-The Two Thieves" The performers on
the whole did well. and but for a wait of
an hour for Mrs. Maude Myring, an al
legged professional from New York, who
had O tendency to detract from the sue
cess of the production, everything
passed off smoothly aud an enjoyable en-
tertainment was given.
The roles of the two thieves were as
sumed by Win E. Emmett and Edward
Finley. Fiuley's adoption TO the stage
is recognized. He has taken part in nu-
nervous productions in New York, and i'll
every instance has performed bis part
satisfactorily and well. His antics last
night were amusing. His witty re-
marks Kept the audience III continuous
uproar- The pleasing portion OF the por-
gramme was added TO greatly by the per-
formances of Messrs. James and George
Mccarthy, who introduced popniar selec-
tons on the mandolin and banjo. The
other members of the cast are deserving
OF some credit, but the success OF tue pro-
duction hinged upon the performances OF
Messrs. Finlay and Mccarthy. Az the
conclusion of the play dancing was be-
gun and continued until a late hour.

Acquitted of Murder Eight Years Age
They Are Now Insane.
Brazil, Ind, May 28.-Eight years
ago man named Elster was killed while
attempting to climb into q window o1
Mrs. Mary Thornton's saloon at Har.
mony.
The fatal shot was fired by some one
inside the saloon, and Mrs. Thornton
and Johnny Smith, an engineer, were
arrested for the crime.
About this time q man named Ora,
ham, Of Harmony, suddenly disappeared,
and the accused laid the crime at his
door. For want Of evidence to convict,
Smith and Mrs. Thornton were released.
The matter weighed heavily on Mrs.
Thornton's mind.
Tuesday morning she left her home in
Knightsville, saying she was going to
Reelsvllle to drown herself in Eel river.
An hour later the engineer of an in
coming train on the Vandalia railroad
saw woman squatting on the track.
She refused to move when he whistled
and he had to stop his train. The
woman proved to be Mrs. Thornton, and
when the engineer reached her he found
she was chattering lunatie.
He brought her home in his engine.
Word was received here Wednesday
that Smith, who several years ago
moved to Gallop, N. NJ, lost his mind Q
few days ago and ia also q lunatic.

"Do you mean our old friend Alb
ner7 Why John-oh, there he il
now"
Tearing up from the ravine in the
track the wagon had followed came
the Lieutenant on his strong army
horse. Almost as soon as they hAd
discovered him be WAS at their side.
A motion of Mary's hand toward the
flying horses, now mere specks on the
plain, was sufficient to explain the
situation.
With quivering lips he looked the
pair in the face. He could mount
his horse and escape. He could take
one of them with him which would
he do?
"Here John hold this horse" The
lieutenant's voice had 9 queer, husky
infection that made the listeners start
There was not an instant to lose.
Already the Ere was so close that the
air scorched the lungs.
"Mary, have no one dependant
on me. Take these things"
The woman did not realize the
sacrifice until she had forced into
her hands the pocket book and letter
case.
"Give them to the captain" he ad-
ded. "He understands. Now, nc
stopping"
He put both strong hands around
the woman's waist and easily lifted
her to the horses back, sweeping her
shoulders with his lips as she was
carried upward.
"John, jump into the saddle"
The tone was so commanding that
the man obeyed. There was q sharp
blow on the horses flank and the
two were bourn almost in the teeth
of the tide of fra northwsrd. On
and on the strong charger raced un-
til the flames were outstripped. The
atmosphere grew clear and broad.
Black, smoking plains stretched of
to the northward.
"John," sobbed the woman, "did
you think" She faltered.
"Yes, Mary, I thought it all. But
why did you leave to-day?"
"Leave? Abner had secured you
place on the paper at Farview and
l went their to arrange things and
was gong to surprise you. He was
to spend his turlough getting US set
tied"
They rode into the fort a. nightfall,
and he who carried the wan women
to the guest chamber wondered what
experience she had been through
since that morning. 1t was weeks be.
fore we knew it all.
A company of soldiers went out in
the morning. They found the black
ened heap or ruins in the midst Of
the black plain. Their. were the
ironwork of a wagon, some tlmbers
and among them body wrapped In
charred canvas.
1t was Lieut.. Jayne. He had met
death as calmly as he would have
done on the field of battle. A
small testament was found IN his
clothing. In it were two photographs
one was that of gray-haired New
England woman, his mother. The
other every man in the group recog-
nized as the emegrant's wife, Mary
Cumler. Charles Moreau Harger.

HOW BLAINE ASSENTED:
The Story of Clarkson's Argument Will
the Secretary.

The Story of Clarkson's Argument with
the Secretary.
New YORK, May 31.-This is the Lat.
est story of how the Blaine boom was
resurrected by Chairman Clarkson, Of
the national committee, and it is told by
a man who ought to know.
The Blaine sentiment, despite the let
ter of the secretary of state, was kept
alive in various states by such men as
Platt, Quay, Fessenden, Foraker and
Thurston in the hope of something turn
ing up. 1t seemed impossible to get q
man to come within gunshot of muster.
ing as much support as the president,
except Blaine. Sherman, Alger, McKin.
ley and Reed alike lacked big popular
following.
Finally, the story goes, Mr.. Clarkson
decided on an audacious move. He went
to Emmons Blaine.
"Is your father well enough to be a
candidate for PRESIDENT? he asked the
secretary's son.
Certainly he is," was Blaine's reply,
and then they fell to talking about the
situation.
After deep thought and careful consid-
Grafton with friends, Clarkson, who has
been Blaine man for years, went to see
the secretary of state.
At the first suggestion Of his taking
the nomination Mr.. Blaine declared he
could not hear of it. He was contin-
ually having serious attacks of illness,
and he felt sure that he could not stand
the labor and excitement of another
campaign. Besides that, he felt that he
was an old man and might have only q
few years to live. It is related that Mr..
Clarkson disputed these points with Mr..
Blaine, told him that he could be elected
without effort, and finally said:
Even suppose all you say is true, Mr..
Blaine, should think that if you die as
soon as you say, which is remote posi-
bility, the height of your ambition would
be to die in the White House."
Mr.. Blaine appeared to be much struck
with this suggestion. The result was
that Mr.. Clarkson left, satisfied that un-
der certain conditions Mr.. Blaine would
be willing to lead the party.
It is said that Mrs. Blaine is extreme
ly desiirous of her husband getting the
nomination.
