next moment man stood in the room.
Two of the girls held the man while
the third "Wreaked vengeance on mis-
face and head.o Citizens arrived and
the culprit was taken in hand, but
posse of his friends came to the
rescue. Then occurred very re-
spectacle imitation of a melee, and when
at length the citizens triumphed and the
offenders were taken before the nearest

was eventually discovered lying I'M

wounds which he had received were nu-

to permit of his removal. He is reported
to be dying. That's the kind Of girls

Mrs. Edmond Russell. disciple of
the Delsarte theory, is now In Chicago
talking about the Delsartean methods.
She says that one who enlistS under the
standard of Delsarte must abandon cor
sets and III their place use the short
Greek girdle. Mrs. Russell uses neither

Mrs. Cleveland will discover few
| changes in the White house on her re-
| turn to Washington. she will find the
mansion Illuminated throughout with
electric lights, which were substituted
| for gas two years ago In the Blue
room she will notice new silk tapestries
! on the walls, ceiling freshly
| hand painted with designs repre-
senting the clouds of morning and
evening, and furniture gorgeously re-
covered. She will observe that the
| green room has been papered in a

by redecoration. Apart from these
