''Trilby" was the attraction at O'Brien's yesterday at matinee and night. The at tendance was not large, although the performances were excellent. The cast of characters was unusually strong and the difficult lines were rendered in a mas terly manner.
 Miss Anna Mortand, in the title role, presented the character made famous by Du Maurier in an artistic manner. "Trilby" is a most difficult character to portray. The sangfroid of the grisette in the Latin quarter and the change after being made famous are so utterly differ ent it is almost impossible to connect the persons as the same. Miss Mortland was equal to the emergency. The death scene was very strong and lucidly DOT trayed.
 Geo. P Webster as Svengali, the man who first blighted then made the life of ''Trilby," and later caused her death, as well as his own, was very fine. His conception of the part was perfect and his rendition very good.
 Messrs. Larson, Seats and Launder as Taffy, The Laird and Little Billee, were clever.
 Miss Brainard as Mime. Vinard, the Iandlady, was chic and acted well.
 The others in the cast were good and in fact the cast could hardly be improved upon.

THE CITY JAIL.
A Noticeable Decrease In Registering Law Breakers and an Utter Lack of the Attendance of Wcmen-The
 Dads" Bring About a
 Great Change.

Yesterday afternoon two men were sent to Coalburg to serve their sentences. They were Sack Golden and John Robin son. Both were fined yesterday morn- ing, the former receiving a total fine of ninety days for assault and battery and petty larceny while the latter was fined thirty days for carrying concealed weap- onS.
 Since the enactment of the ordinance by the city dads" that the convicts should be leased to the Sloss company, marke decrease in crime has been noticed Not an arrest was made from 10 o'clock yes terday morning til II 80 last night, and che once famous resorts were practically deserted All of the officers report ex- ceedingly quiet beats, with few people on the streets.
 Another remarkable instance is that not a female is confined in jail. Hereto fore there have always been from six up in rhe prison, but since the new arrange ment not more than one or two have been in at a time. They, too, have given the police wide berth and keep off the streets at night. Since they know that they cannot Hay it out' in jail, the wo- men try to behave themselves and to obey the dictates of the law.

THE TOURNAMENT
Riders Practising Daily and Entries Very Numerous-Great Interest in the
 Event Manifested.

In two weeks the tournament at West End base ball park for the benefit of the Birmingham Carnival society will take place and indications now point to one of the grandest events of the kind in the history of the city or state.
 The entries are numerous and the field is being constantly occupied by riders practicing at the rings. The posts have been in place for some time and many of the knights errant who have entered the list are becoming quite proficient at taking the rings with the points of their lances.
 The event will be the means of attract ing many people from distant cities and towns in this and adjoining states and the entries, ere they close, will no doubt be quite extensive.
 The crowning features of the gala day will be the grand tableaux and ball at night, which promises to be on a grand scale
 The arrangements committee, with Capt. Morson as chairman, is leaving nothing undone to make the tournament a success,

Dode.d the Doctor.

4 certain country doctor who was also the village dentist and surgeon, was severe-iooking man, and had, besides, the reputation of being most heroic" in his methods of treatment, so that many people stood in a kind of terror of him. One day he was pass ing house that was in process of building, when he saw a boy fall from pretty high ladder. Pulling up his horse, the doctor jumped out of his trap and hastened to the rescue. Are you much hurt my boy9a he asked, as he came near. No, sir, answered the boy, springing to his feet and hobbIng away as fast as he could-"no, sir, not a bit. In fact, feel all the betterl2-- Leisure Hours.

circled with T deep band of blue and green changeable silk swathed very tightly in becoming folds.
 Many novel ideas are embodied in an other model seen within the week 1t was of cloth in deep butrather bright shade of green. The skirt, which boasts a silllen lining of tatfetta in lovely shade of old rose, is slightly drapeI on both hips in such 0 way that the folds of cloth hanging gracefully in long lines give quite a panel effect to the sides of the skirt. On one side only the draperies are caught together with a long buckle of antique silver. The bod ice is certainly a triumph of the dress makers skill and one which should be universally becoming, as it gives con siderable slimness to the waist. Across the front and just below the collar band there are three deep tucks, each tuck fastened near the arm with a large an tique silver button. The pretty vest is of dark green satin, while the dainty little bolero of the cloth is trimmed with an embroidered design carried out in dark green chenille shading up to the very Hghtest, and intermingled with tiny silver beads.
 It may not be out of place to mention the hat that goes with this altogether fetching costume. It is in toque shape, made of scented Neapolitan violets, the dark green leaves and buds forming the brim while high on one side there is jaunty aigrette formed of lilies of the valley, a single moss rose, pink in color, and a plaited bow of cream tinted lace arranged in fan shape behind the flowers. Another stylish model is the gown shown in the picture. It is made of tan cloth, showing the new tucked skirt. The little jacket is tucked to match, and is worn over tight-ftting bodice of dark brown velvet.
 In looking around for something new I came across the design given above, which l think meets every requirement of the up-to-date teagown, which Dame Fashion says must not be too dressy nor yet err on the side of too much plainness.
 As far as general fashions are com cerned they may be said to be tenta- tive just now. There are feelers being put out in many directions. There are several new sleeves, new skirts, or varieties of the old one, and while some well-known authorities claim that nothing but the trimmed skirt will 'go'' this spring, others equally reliable de clare.therc will be as many, if not more, plain skirts worn than there will be trimmed. We may well ask who shall decide when doctors disagree?

seal of her approval on smooth-faeed cloth. chief among which is drap d'ete. Ten years ago this material was the idol of the hour; then suddenly il passed from sight and nothing more was heard of it. The Parisians gre viTed' if last year, and it swept every thing before it. It bids fair to repeat its successes in America before the sea son is far advanced. 1t is bv all odds the handsomest material brought out thas far, and ranges in price from two dollars to four dollars per yard, the lat ter quality being exceedingly fine and soft with a rich bloom to its smooth. glossy like surface, resembling the most Iustrous= silk. It comes in all the fash ionable shades. as well as in somber black; and as black will be worn quite extensively this season a black drap d'ete would be quite the proper thing to buy.
 After seeing the lovely cotton fabrics brought out this season one is almost tempted to wear nothing but cotton froeks. These goods-were never more beautiful and tempting than at the pres ent moment, and, considering their rare quality, were never cheaper The new French lawns are particularly at tractive, having eXqusitely wrought flowers on sheerest grounds of pure white, pale pink, light blue and delicate ly tinted green. Cool-loolafng dimities, that make the most delightful house dresses for warm weather wear, come in the sprigged and striped designs seen last season, while oreandfe muslin of Web-like texture with narrow satin and silk stripes running through them are among the latest designs. Others are in the all-oYer pattern that is thickIv powdered with flowers. These invaria- bly, have dark grounds.
 The tailOr-made gown has lost much of its traditional simplicity, the fancy at the present moment strongly run ming toward elaborate trimmings. As in former seasons the gown consists of coat and skirt, with maehine=stitehed seams, or else outlined with fancy braid. An imported gown that will serve as a model for many of the tailor gowns that will be seen later on. is well worth q description. The skirt was of soft beige cloth lined with blue and green short glaee silk. \ smooth cut botero of dark green cloth, braided with black, the lines of the bnaiding so arranged that they form a succession of curves passing under Inc arms and trimming the back of the bolero the same way as they trim the front. The vest was made of finest Irish linen, daintily hand embroidered, while the waist was el1.

Millions of Cook Books Given Away.

There is one large house in this country that has taken business on it's turn and means to ride in on the rising tide. Alive to the signs of better times and to the best interests et the people, they are now eiFea- latIng among families a valuable publication known as the Charles A. ogeler Company s Cookery Book and Book of Comfort and Health, which contains very choice informa- tlon on the subject of cooking. Receipts for the preparation of good, substantial and dainty dishes, prepared especially for 1t by leading authority, will be found in it's pages. Much care has been taken in it's preparation and distribution, with the hope that it will be just the thing needed for housekeepers and just the thing needed also for the care of the health and house hold. As Cookery Book it will be invalua- ble to keep on hand for reference
 It also contains full information in re- gard to the great remedies of this house, which provide against bodily ailments, es- pecially the Master Cure for Pains and Aches, St. Jacobs Oil.
 To give some idea of the labor and ex- pense of this output, more than 200 tons of paper have been used in it's publication, and at the rate of 100000 day, 1t has taken sev- eral months for the issue.
 The book can be had of druggists every where, or by enclosing a 2e stamp to The Charles A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore, Md

 sold at a price that easily places them within the reach of the average purse.
 Taffeta silk will be the favorite silk for spring wear, and the patterns show ing a changeable effect are in greatest demand. Green, changing to deepest blue, rose-pink deepening to darkest crimson that in some Iightsloolls almost black, and lilac shading to deep violet are among the most popular effects. Exceedingly chic and stylish are are the n6syvmoire taifetas with embossed satin figures showing a sharp con trast of color. Keeping them close company are wondrously pretty striped silks with their dark grounds almost completely hidden under perfect tam gle of wild roses. Then there are in sol i'd co1ors ali the new shades of green which color by the way, will be most popular as the season adFances-dark blues and browns, not to mention cer= tain tan in the most exquisite shade. All of these will combine beautifully with lace and velvet, making a gown handsome enough for any occasion. It seems as though the French never grow weary of black and white striped silk, and certainly its dainty freshness and it's power of adaptahility more than justify it's prolonged reign
 Among the recent importations of this description is one that took my particular fancy, both for it's rich qual- ity as well as it's rather unique design. The silk itself is a heavy French bro cade, with a ribbed stripe of white satin on a cream-tinted silk ground, alternating with a broad black satin stripe that somehow resolves itself finally into small broken checks. Show ing against these stripes and checks are small punches of chine roses in faint blurred colorings which are fascinating in the extreme and add much to the charming effect of the whole
 Canvas cloth makes an ideal gowning, and this seasons importations show many striking novelties in both color combination and design Golors which in themselves would be glaring and quite inappropriate are, under the be- nign influence of the French artist, combined in the most artistic and har- monious manner imaginable
 For instance, green, blue and purple are combined in some of the highest priced and most desirable patterns;
