There was no use getting mad or

At first the people contented them
selves with showering -four over each
other. The front OF the saloon entrance
was thronged with men, the majority in
dark clothing. All kept a sharp look
out, however, and whenever,a a suspicious
looking individual would heave
in sight the fellow who first
saw him or her, as the

there was stampede past the portals,

After the people got tired or the sup

direct their attention to the headgear OF

fellows with canes, and ior hat TO be
carried safely through the line wac an

especially amusing to see some demure
looking wire faced mask turn about and

BEFORE THE BALL WAS OVER
An Incident of the Masquerade of Friday
Night.

An Incident of the Masquerade of Friday
Night.
There was a piquant incident at the
fiesta ball that was not on the pro-
gramme and almost caused quite a gor-
geous scandal, the same only being pre-
vented by the masterly tact and general
chip of the floor committee.
After the masks had been removed
and the gaily dressed dancers were
whirling around in the giddy measures
of the waltz, a gathering approached
certain members OF the floor committee
and told them that lady desired to sc 9
them in the foyer on an intensely i'm
portant matter.
The committeeman Immediately pro-
ceeded to the foyer, where they found a
very pretty woman, who WAS wringing q
her hands, while there were traces OF
tears on her fair cheeks.
II want TO see you gentlemen private
ly," said the lady.
The gentlemen assured her that the
foyer afforded sufficient privacy, and
just at that moment q magnifcently at
tired gentleman passed by the group
and the lady turned toward him with
clenched hands.
"You ought to be ashamed of your
self, said the mysterious lady in Ehrill,
excited tones, ''to come to this ball with
that woman and leave your wife and
child at home"
The magnifcently raimented gentle
man took hasty glance at the lady and
made sudden exit. The committee
men then asked the indignant lady for
further plans and specifications and to
their utter ast0niehment she pointed out
a very handsome lady. who was richly
dressed and who is we'll known and ad-
mitted in high circles of society. THAT
is the woman who came to this ball with
my husband and If you gentlemen do
not have her removed l will go into the
ladies' dressing room and proclaim the
facts. Nay, will go into the ballroom
and tell the story tothe queen and all
the ladies there assembled"
To say that the committeeman were
startled does not describe the situation
They were in state o. consternation n
and held hasty consultation, the lad y
in the meantime gradually approaching
the hysterical stage. 1t WAS finally de-
cided to notify the lady who reused the
ire of the weeping wife that she must

seer. However, as this calamity did
not occur, the young women can in mo-

how glorious it was and what q fine
time they had.
The other costumes we're wild, weird

The Hidewalka were lined with spec
tstors who, while they were not in cos
tune, we're in spirits fully in touch with
tue motley crowd that was amusing
them.
1t WAS about o'clock before the
maskers began to put in an appearance,
and from that time on they hove in
sight from all the various points OF the
mariners compass. Men, women and
children were drawn to the one spot,
Spring street. The principal promenade
was from Fret to Third streets, and it
was in front OF the Hollenbeck and other
hotels that the fun occurred. Pre-
vious to promenading on the sidewalks
the maskers paraded in little squads
down the middle of the street to the
accompaniment of tin horns oi all
shapes, sizes and sounds. Ab-ut 8

addition OF the masks they were strictly

SOME OF THE FEATURES.
The world and his brother marched
arm in arm and proceeded to enjoy life
on the far weat side of Spring street.
All manner OF costumes were to be seen,

There was nothing of the elegant about

Quite a number of petitions to the
council were filed with the city clerk

in the Fitzgerald tract. H. r. Porter
protests against the grading on Brook
lyn avenue, for the reason that if saddled
with his share of the expense he must

James NJ. Danes asks for additional time
to grade and gravel Vine street.
A lengthy communication from Col.
Blanton Duncan to the council has been
filed. The colonel prefaces his letter
with the statement that he very care
fully prognosticated the weather in
Texas IL years, and as the people there
were disastrous.
He now states that there is strong
probability of the water supply here
failing, owing to the fact that there has
been no rain for 100 days and the lights
have been cold. He figures out that
there will be only three inches of water
supply. and recommends that it would
be we'll to establish large reservoirs and
store up the mountain water for use
during the summer months. Also that
the people should not waste water.
Colonel Duncan likewise expects ex-
traordinsry physical phenomena during
the coming summer, the great planets
being III such position as has not oc-
CURED for 5000 years. These, he thinks,
will culminate in vast earthquake Pc

dentslly he mentions Prof Falb's pre-
diction that great submarine earth
quake would submerge New York city

our drouth continues and parches up
our lands the losses and suffering would
be very great. and tho damage immense
in blighted crops and destruction OF all
kinds of stock for want of water and
food"
The colonel reiterates his suggestion
regarding reservoirs and artesian wells
and then says: "a little time and effort
now with small expense would save

the losses which otherwise would occur.

"You will have to leave the floor and
not dance any more tonight"
The beautiful lady turned psle and red
by turns, toyed nervously with her ex-
quisite fan, looked again at that sinister
star. nodded to the officer and left the
dancing floor. She stopped and chstted
gaily with a group of society folk for a
few moments, and then pleading ennui,
che made her farewells with a smiling
face and raging fire in her heart, and
calling for ner wraps, entered a carriage
and drove away from the garish lights,
the gorgeous costumes, the enhancing
melodies OF the dance, out into the
night.
The grief-stricken wife had gone to her
home, the gsily attired spouse was gone.
and the members OF the floor committee
who were actors in this little episode be-
hind the scenes congratulated them
selves that nothing outre had happened
