ON THE STREETS
The Masking q Success Absence of
Objectionable Features

"All Fools Night" was a success.
That is to say, those who wished made
fools Of themselves to their hearts con-
tent, while those who only wanted to see
the show were permitted to do so with
out let or hindrance, and when they de-
sired were able to go to their homes with
their raiment, and likewise their temper,
in as good condition as when they Joined
the giddy throng.
There was a notable absence of that
incipient hoodlumism and coarse horse
play which has been such a conspicuous
feature of previous celebrations, and
while Spring street from Fifth to First
was packed with a Heterogeneous mass
of humanity of all ages and conditions
of life, from early evening until mid
night there was absolutely nothing with
which any fault could be found, with
one or two trifiing exceptions. The po-
lice arrangements were as near perfect
as they could be, and there was general
cooperation on the part of the peopls
that is worthy of special commendation.
The most serious offender against the
true carnival spirit was fiend who
perambulated the highway with long
AAob RAAA SOhCCdiSu III LID sue COdI pOCht.,
and which he inserted with more or less
violence into the anatomy of the unsus-
pecting maskers as opportunity offered.
The result was in some cases startling,
but the fiend was soon located and hus-
tied off the street without personal vio-
lence.
AS to the maskers themselves, there
was but little difference between those
who participated last evening and the
crowds who have thronged the streets
on previous celebrations Of their patron
saints day. There were but few hand
some costumes, none sufficiently strik-
ing to call for special comment. The
young woman in abbreviated skirts was
much in evidence. as was also the giddy
young person Of the feminine gender
who wanted to be real naughty for Just
one evening, and borrowed her brothers
best suit Of clothes for the occasion. The
ubiquitous small boy was everywhere.
He swarmed on the streets and he flock
ed on the sidewalks. armed with his
more or less discordant fish horn or
whistle. He was in his element and he
made the most Of It. Small girls, toe,

NERVOUS DISEASES

THE MASKED BALL
Fun Runs Riot and Beer Flows
Freely

A masked ball was given at Turnverein
hall where the festivities continued until
an early hour this morning. The man
agement had taken special measures
against anything like rowdyism and dis
order, and in consequence the affair was
much above the average of public mask
ed balls There was only a moderate
crowd early in the evening but after the
closing of the street masking the hall
was filled to it's utmost capacity. Quite
a number of the maskers were hand
somely costumed, but the great majority
were in dominoes and cheap disguises.
No liquor was sold after midnight and
in consequence it was a very peaceful
affair throughout.
THE BOWERY MASKED BALL
A typical masked ball of the Bowery
style was given by the bon Ton club
at Music hall, and it was largely patron
ized. All the ladies were en- masque and
they represented all strata Of society.
Some of them would not have revealed
their identity for the wofld. They were
out for Fiesta fun, and they had it. After
the hour for unmasking on the streets,
many masked couples Joined the ball.
At midnight the scene was amusing in
the extreme and the terpsichorean revel
was at its heighth. The floor was fully
occupied and the costumes were of great
variety, Fiesta colors predominating.
OF course a Bowery ball would not be
true to the name without beer, and II
was on tap in an adjoining room, where
many Of the dancers quaffed the foam
ing lager after each dance. Several blue
coated representatives of the law were
present, but they neither danced nor
drank beer
1t was thoroughly masked ball. even
the ticket seller and doorkeeper being
In disguise. The music was furnished
by Schonemann & Blanchard's orches-
ira and the dance was continued till
morning.

The Fountains of Life

The brain and spinal cord are the
great nervous fountains from which
spring the many nerves that go to
every part of the body. There Is not
an organ, tissue or bit of bone THAT
Is not dependent upon these nerves
for life and action. The NERVES
are the great electric sparks that set
vital activity In motion, and then
MAINTAIN this action. You cannot In
your eye move a muscle, or think,
without the aid of nerve force.
The cause of disease In the various
organs is now proven to result from
q disturbance In the nerve supply
Of those organs. AS long as the
nerves keep their normal balance
the organs remain healthy. When
this balance is disturbed, disease
comes on. Keep your nerves In bal
ance and disease will not affiict you.
Proper bathing. proper clothing and
a proper regard for health meas
ures will make your nerves proof
against disease.

1T Is A BIG SENSATION.
WILD EXCITEMENT RESULTS FROM
THE DUEL IN AUSTRIA.
Count Badeni Challenged the GER
man Leader for Insults In
the Refchsrath.

London, September 2e.-The Vienna
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says thii
morning:
The duel between Count Badeni the
Austrian premier, and DR.. Wolff. the Ger
man nationalist leader, has aroused thu
widest sensation. 1t arose out OF th'
riotous scenes OF the opening OF the reichs-
rath, when Count Badeni. with arms
crossed and head on his breast listened
unmoved to the clamor and gesticulations
OF tho German party. His attitude was
most irritating The whole left formed o
threatening group around him, conspicuous
among them being the great lean face oil
Wolff as he pressed forward and thrust
his fist into Count Badeni's face. saying:
III this is your policy, 1t Is miserable
chicanery.'
Some declare Wolff called him a Polish
pig" He was pulled back by his colleagues,
but continued uttering menaces.
EARLY Friday Count Badeni sent his
seconds to DR.. Wolff, who accepted the
challenge. The premier sent telegram
to the emperor, asking permission to fight
the duel and at the same time rendering
his resignation. In reply he received not
perlal approval. Count Badeni then msda
his will, after which he spent the evening
at the Jockey club and " pleasure resort.
His wife and family knew nothing about
the affair until the duel was over.
The combatants met at the military
riding school. Count Badenis seconds
We're Marshal Count Uexkulle -Gyllenband,
commanding the Vienna garrison. and Col
onel Resch a former adjutant Of the en-
peror. DR.. VOLTS seconds were two Ger
man deputies. The conditions of the duel
were three shots at twenty five PAGES. At
the first discharge the premiers ball
struck the ground fifteen PAGES from his
antagonist, The latter's ball struck Count
Badeni in the right arm. He staggered
back to his chair and was then taken home,
where the bullet was extracted. There
are no symptoms OF fever and Count Ba-
deni Is conducting affairs as usual 1t is
thought that as tho premier has set the
example with the emperor's approval. there
VIII be a serious epidemic of duellng.

Count Badeni is liable to Imprisonment OF
from one to five years.
