Play and New Songs.

Play and New Songs.
People who go to the Grand tonight
will hear and see something of New
York life. Besides they will see pic
ture of the Bowery, Mulberry Bend, the
housetops of New York and the pals
AIDES on the Hudson river. The scenery
of this production was painted by John
G. Buss, scenic artist Haymarket theatre,
Chicago, where "a Bowery Grip had its
first production last spring. The play is
by Ada Lee Bascom, an artist who is
credited with studying her subjects from
life. The Bowery and the various types
of Bowery characters are sufficiently
picturesque and interesting to make ma
terial for play. The play is a melo-
drama with many new scenic effects.
The incidental music. songs, dances and
specialties, are up to date and appropri-
ate The soubrette, Clara Thropp, will
introduce several of the latest and most
popular songs during the action of the
play.

These articles, but made of silk and
woven together so as to form one piece,
have been pressed into service. Three
lengths are required for a blouse, and
the squares of silk are so arranged that

summer dresses are made with elbow
sleeves, with which long white gloves

The strong contrasts in color that
threaten to extinguish the orb Of day
have invaded the dress for all fashion
able functions. No former season ever
surpassed the present in variety of ma
terials, designs and cOlorings.
Ribbons of all sorts are a distinctive
feature of the season fashions, and the
variety of coloring and the pretty eff

can be done to improve a gown by MAX
ing pretty contrast in color with the
belt and collar and making them wide
or narrow, as may be most becoming to
the figure. A very dressy effect is also
produced with the muslin fichus and
epaulets; also with collars, fronts and
epaulets of hsse finely tucked. Marie
Antoinette fichus of mousseline de sole
are features of some of the new gowns,
as are also the wide empire sashes.
There appears to be a slight tendency to
reduce the bulk of the sleeves and the
size Of the hats. There is also a rumOr
to the effect that the abuse of bright
colOrs is bringing about a reaction in
this direction.

MATTE ARRESTED AGAIN.
She Did Not Lead an Upright Life From
All Appearances.


All Appearances.
Joe Johnston is now behind the bars at
the city prison awaiting the arrival of
the officers from Kansas City, Mo, to
take him back to that city. Johnston is
a colored man of very hard reputation.
He is wanted in Kansas City for having
robbed an old man of large sum of
money. He was arrested here last night
night by officers Fowkes and Wilkerson.
Matte Johnston, also colored. was ar
rested about the same time, and is held
as suspected character. She has been
living with Joe Johnston, and it IS
thought that she is an accomplice in the
robbery. Matte johnson is the woman
who addressed a letter to the STATE
JOURNAL in which she accused the cap
tain of the police force of injustice in
| arresting her, and said that she was try
ing to lead an upright life From all
| that can be learned of her case it seems
that her good intentions have faded

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. 24.-The
bitiminous coal miners of Indiana have
gained their point after suspension of
operations of more than a month. A
number of operators have agreed to pay
last years price 80 cents A few day ago
several operators said they would aban-
don the united effort to get a contract
with the men at 81 cents.
The other operators then tried to or
ganize to fight it out but the effort has
failed. The operators have not made
contracts with men at 60 cents for any
length of time, but say they will pay it
only 80 long as they can sell coal on that
basis This is the first time in many
wears that strike has been ended with
out signing contract with all the state
for the remainder of the year.
