How 10 Make the Rooms Most Attractive
and Pleasant.
II is slowly dawning upon the deco
rativsly inclined woman that the funda
mental law of household beauty does not
relate to carpets, hangings, chairs or cab
inets. but to the coloring of the walls.
Vain are fine rugs and etchings Of ex-
quisite scenes. vain are shelves OF curios
and divans with cushions Of inviting
contour, IL the walls be Of the large aow-
cred variety or resemble an ancient patch.
work quilt in the number Of hues with
which they are covered.
There are few general principles.
says The Decorator and Furnisher. in
accordance with which the walls of a
room may be treated so as to produce an
artistic result. The chief factors in de-
Gliding the color are the size of the room
and the amount of light 1t receives. In
rooms which face the north the north
light, which is whitish to blush in color,
requires that the walls be decorated in
luminous tints ranging from orange yell
low to warm red.
Rooms with q southern exposure, con-
versely, should be papered or painted in
tints ranging from greenish yellow to
blue. Rooms facing east or west should
be decorated in yellow, as east and west
lights have yellow and purple in their
composition.
A hall should be done in strong. dark
colors, while the rooms opening off it
may range from the deep, rich tints suit
able to a library to the pale ones Of bed
rooms and boudoirs. Pompeiian or Da-
mascus red is good color in hall.
Russets. browns, duh yellows and tans
are also suitable. For libraries rich col
ors are always desirable. as. for example.
reds, browns. golden greens and orange.
For dining rooms soft reds and browns
sye good. as are also combinations Of
blue or green with silver in small fig
ures. Bedrooms require the paler shades
of all colors.
All walls on which pictures are to be
hung should be in solid, or almost solid,
color. No striking patterns should be
used, for it will necessarily distract the
eye from the picture. As general rule
pictures are most effective against dark
neutral colored background.

A few days after Brandy Station, Lee
sent Stuart's column to hold the passes OF
the Blue Ridge as screen for his army
marching north to Pennsylvania. Kilpat-
rick was ordered to ride through Ashby's
gap and nee what the enemy was doing be-
yond the mountain wall. On approaching
Aide, at the eastern base of the mountain,
the Union skirmishers met two Of Stuart's
brigades deployed on a commanding ridge
and covering the gap. The Harris Light
was In the lead, the other regiments TO-.
lowing in turn, and the column dashed
down the road to Aide and brought u,
squarely on the flank Of the enemy. For
two hours It was give and take at close
quarters, Stuart's men fighting to Lod the
ridge and Fitzpatrick to drive them from It.
The Harris Light had asked that morn
ing for chance to redeem some missteD Mt
Brandy Station. At one stage OF the Iight
party of Stuart's sharpshooters stole up
to collection Of haystacks. barricaded the
place with rails, and by their murderous
fire bafiied every attempt of Fitzpatrick to
advance his line. Calling up battalion of
the Harris Light, he pointed out the barri.
cades and said to the commander: There
Is the chance your men asked for, major.
Go and take that position" The troopers
dashed In cheerfully, but their horses
stopped at the barricades unable 10 make
the leap. The men jumped from their
saddles and scaled the rail piles, and then
finished the fight with heirsabers.

In the Fourth New York the colonel obi
Ccsnola) was under arrest, and when the
bugle sounded the first attack he forgot
that he was technically prisoner and led
his men on a charge. He was unarmed, Of
course, but when the successful dash was
over Fitzpatrick went up to him. and undo
ing his own sword presented 1t to Di Ces-
nola. Wear this" said be. Tin honor Of
the day. You are brave man, and I re-
lease you from arrest"
Still another incident of that fight showed
how Fitzpatrick acquired his power over
the soldiers. The advantage Of the day
seemed to be with his line, when the enemy
rallied for one more effort to drive hiin
from the ridge. Rosser's brigade was
massed for charge. Requirements were
hurrying to Kilpatrick's aid, but before
they reached him Rosser had galloped his
men TO within fifty yards Of the Union guns
Fitzpatrick sent word to his batteries to
double shot the pieces with canister and
hold on. Then riding back he met the lead
ing regiment OF the reserves-which hap
pened to he the First Maine again-placed
himself in its front and rode against Ros-
ser's advancing horsemen. His horse was
killed, and the Maine boys swept on.
Mounting another horse, Fitzpatrick rode
to the front o. the next regiment, the First
Massachusetts, led it forward to the First
Maine, then, massing the united squadrons,
drove Rosser from the field in rout.
On the march to Gettysburg Fitzpatrick
was promoted to lead a division, and Capts
Custer and Z. j. Farnsworth were ap-
pointed generals to lead his brigades. This
division it was that kept Stuart's cavalry
away from Gettysburg during the first two
days fighting. Fitzpatrick encountered
Stuart ut Hanover, Pa, on June 80, march
ing straight to Lees appointed rendezvous,
and bowled him of northeast to York.
Custer and Farnsworth fought their maiden
battles that day as cavalrymen. On the Sd
of July Fitzpatrick, with Farnsworth's bri-
gade alone, attacked Longstreet's infantry
and artillery during the confusion that en-
sued on the bloody rcpulse Of Pickett's
men. FMnsworth was killed in charge

Ridge, where he fought Stuart's cavalry in
the front and Lees infantry in the rear, and

Stuart all the way to the Potomac and

When the Confederates were cornered at

The raid to Richmond to liberate Union
prisoners, headed by Fitzpatrick In the W in
ter of 1861, was by all odds the bcldcst
cavalry foray of the war. The general led
the main column to the Notifications Of
the city, but treacherous guides misled the
detachments and spoiled the plans. In the
spring of 1864 he was transferred from his
old Virginia troops to Sherman's army in
Georgia. At Resaca he saw his leading
brigade repulsed in IA charge-a repetition
Of Brandy Station and Aide. Springing
to the head of u reserve brigade, he led it in
and drove the Confederate troops back

entire command of four brigades and eight
cannon in "a galloping charge that cut the
enemy's line in two. After Atlanta fell his
cavalry took the field as road breaker for
Sherman's army in the march to the sea-
Whatever opposition the Confederates
made to the march was brushed aside by
the mounted advance guard. In crossing
the Carolinas toward Raleigh Kilpasrick
met column of Confederates hurrying to
seize u defensive position between swamp
and deep ravine, where there was only a
narrow pass for an army to march.
Nothing short OF IA bold stroke could save
the pass, but he sent skirmisters ahead
and prepared to battle for the right of way.

wanted to withdraw. Gentlemen" said
he, I'VE may get the worst of it, but the

the ravine was barricaded with rails, brush
and timbers, while the active skirmishers
kept the enemy busy ut safe distance be-
yond. Finally several desperate charges
were repulsed Mt the barricades by dis
mounted cavalry, and the next day Sher>
mans infantry reached the scene. After a

Fitzpatrick the Confederates were driven
from. the path, and the army marched on

A NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS.
Nellie McHenry and Her Jolly Com.
panY in Farce Company at
the Academy.

Jolly" Nellie McHenrY and her COM
pany opened at the Academy of Music
last night with "A Night at the
Circus" Since its last appearance on
this stage, it has thrown out several OF
the middle-aged jokes that ornamented
it, and su Instituted others rather more
modern, as well as several new special
ties in the circus act. Nellie Nc is
as galvanic az ever, and speaks her lines
at just tile same lightning rate. She can
do 1t, and yet be understood, but the rest
OF the company do not succeed so well.
Perhaps it is necessary for a farce com
edy to s'go,n but it does seem as IL 1T
might go slow enough to let The audiences
hear what's some OF the actors were taik-
ing about.
In the cast there are several old favor
ties, Ben Lodge. as Nicholas friske; ).
H. Bradbury, as Bonanza, the circus
manager; w. H. Mack. as Pinkerton
Kopp; Genevleve Reynolds. as Calliope
Friske, and the small cullud pusson as
Sociates, a tiger. The star appears as
Madeline Milan, a governess, aud Electra:
the circus rider, her quick changes OF
costume being especially clever. Two
exceedingly pretty girls, Venie aud Josie
De Witt. introduced q musical specially
in the second act, In which one played
the violin, the other the cornet. The au-
dience called for several repetitions.
Maud Blanchard was Belvidere Ban
ger, a jealous wife, aad Eunice Rennie.
Remi Ritter, q Hammond operator. Har-
rt-t Williams was Oriole Ogontz. a Phila-
delphla Venus. The four girls gave
several pretty dances, notably the "crino-
line dance'i in the second act. Their Del
sariisn poses were worth seeing.
The circus act has been much improved,
and several remarkable specialties intro
duced, especially the contortionist's
work and the grotesque dancing.
Wheu Electra makes her grand entrance
on Cupid, the equine beauty, the effect is
Besides those mentioned. the
cast includes Ben Grinnell, ) Archibald
Bangor; Sherman Wade as Kicker, an
u ambitious office boy; Roger Harding, as
Dixey Weed, and Mark G.. Lewis as Bill
Sticker.
There will be performances every night
this week, with matinees on Ned nesday
and SATURDAY..
