their advent from the Bowery, where
they had long been immense favorites,
to Broadway created no end of com
ment. But the result demonstrated thai
they were able to entertain adequately
the higher grade audiences to which
they then played, and they succeeded III

a contradiction to the cynical theory OF
many of the present day authorities
that there is little conjugal happiness
among theatrical people, for l never
saw two more devoted persons in my
life They did not parade their domes-
ITCHY, and Mrs. Williams sterling
qualities as a wife were not systematic
ally advertised, as in the case of at least
one actress now prominently before the
public, but it got to be generally known,
and the estimable woman was beloved
for it. She is still living and is as uni
versally respected as when she was one
of the idols of the American theatel
going public.
A circumstance which could not but
impress itself upon the attention of OBJ
serving persons was the persistency with
which the Irish lad'' and the Cyan
kee gal" were maintained in all the
plays presented by this couple. III
scarcely one of them was either of these
characters missing, and judging from
the pecuniary, and [ may say also the
artistic, result, it must be a good plan
for actors to thoroughly identify them
selves with one line of parts after they
have achieved comparative fame. OF the
ability Of these two players there was
but one opinion. The equal of the lady
in her branch of work has never beer
seen in this country, OF perhaps in amy
other. Barney, on the other hand, while
always a 6ood actor, was never grea
one. For the parts he played he seemet
to lack the JUNCTION possessed by the
. father of the present John Drew, who
was generally conceded to have been the
best actor of Irish roles this country ha,
produced. But Barney was satisfying

The waist does not reaeh-the real waist
line by about four inches There is
deep vandyked cellar or bertha at the
neck. The sleeves are long and slashed,
but gathered in close at the elbow. A
deep laced cuff to match the collar is
turned upward. In this style, where the
waist is finished by the battlemented
pieces, there are but two darts in front,
and the rest is arranged to give as wide
an effect as possible.
The empire or Josephine dress has
plain skirt laid in close plaits around
the waist and falling loosely to the bot
tom. There is a gathered baby wajet of
the same material as that in the skirt.
Under this is sort of yoke or rich bro
cade, dark blue with silvery white. The
gown was of ash gray peau de sole.
Over this was a jacket of the brocade,
very wide in the back and short. In
front it curved down to a sharp point
on each side. This hung open loosely, to
show the front of the waist. There was
a revers collar of the gray silk. The
sleeves were pulled and had also three
rows of shirring of the gray at the top,
while the lower portions were of the
brocade and tight. was told that these
two models had pleased SO well that
more than 20 orders had been taken for
reproductions of them.
Fortunately for us all, we have a
choice of many things for our summer
gowns. The dainty lawns and organ
dies, for instance, make up so neatly
that it is real delight to look at them.
Lawn frocks with two, three or four
self ruffles, made with Spanish head
ings, are very popular. Some have lace
added in different fancies as additional
trimming. One lovely blue lawn with
white dots had two rutf1es of this kind.
The waist was neat, plain French one,
with full bishop sleeves. There was
ruffe of white lace at the neck and at
the wrists. The belt, stock, wrists and
the front of the skirt were all decorated
with bows Of dark blue ribbon. The
black lace straw hat was trimmed with
white lace, blue ribbon and blue gen
tians
The summer gowns being of all these
light and transparent materials, it be-
comes necessary to have parasols to
match. These are in great variety
Plaid silks, MORE, figured brocade,
painted and in some cases silk covered,
with a mesh of chenille or silk knotted
and fringed, are all seen. These are Of
ten fairly covered on the underside With
crepe lisse Or chiffon ruffles or puffings.
The handles are almost worthy of being
classed among the works of art. A pref
ty little device is a sort of sunshade fan,
in shape of a large pansy, with regu-
lar parasol handle. These are large or
small, as one may desire. Some are as
large as the old fashioned sunshades.
The colors on the new hats and bon
nets grow brighter and more glaring ev-
cry day, it seems. Some of the straws
are as green as any grass that ever
grew, or as red as peoples from the orr
ent. Yellow and red tulips grow from
the tops of some of them in the great

est profusion, leaves and all. Some of
them are topped with immense masses
of crimson roses and some have enor-
nous bows of purple and green tulle.
In fact, no color is too bright or bunch
too big for hat Bows are made of
coarse rush like straw braids. Shapes
are any and all kinds. Many ladies af-
feet the great picture hats, with masses
of ostrich plumes. Indeed plumes have
place in the summers millinery not
often accorded. There are hats that look
as if they have come down from Noah's
ark, so quaint and old fashioned they
are. Everything that is becoming is
fashionable now if only the trimming is
made to stand up high and stiff.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
At a meeting of the League held
today the protest entered by the
st. Louis team was voted down,
and Mr.. Thompson Immediately
withdrew his club from the League
for the balance of the season.
There is no doubt in the minds of
men conversant with the game
that the decision was just, but the
feeling is general that tho st.
Louis Club got much the worst of
it in the Leagues decision on the
game of July s. and if Mr.. Thomp-
son had got the proper decision
on that game, he never would have
entered a protest on Saturdays
game.
A suggestion to the League is
that they call a meeting, recon
slider their action on the first pro-
tested game, and allow the score
to be TT and permit the st. Louis
club to finish their half of the
ninth innings. II the Star club
In the interest of square sport
had made proposition Of
this kind, there is no doubt
that Captain Thompson would
have agreed. 1t is not too
late now for such action, and
Capt. Thompson would then prob
ably reconsider his resignation.
The newspapers and all lovers of
baseball have given their space
and time for the revival of inter
est in this intensely exciting
game. Both the Stars and Regi-
ments should unite in having the
decision on the first protested
game altered, and allow the St.

withdraws From the League Becauss
Its Protest on Saturdays Game
IL NOT Allowed.

There was a meeting of the
Baseball League this afternoon
to consider the protest of Captain
Thompson of the st. Louis team
on last Saturdays game. In the
protest it was claimed that the
umpire erred in giving batsman
a base on a balk by the pitcher
and therefore the game should be
declared draw. 1t was admitted
that no runs were made or lost by
the decision nor we're any made
during that innings.
Captain Thompson moved that
the protest be allowed and the
game declared a draw.
After nearly an hours desulto-
ry argument on the motion it was
voted down, by 4 to-.
While there was no doubt in
the minds of any of those present
that the umpire's decision was
wrong, Thompson's motion was
voted down because the decision
in no way affected the score.
In the case decided last week
two runs were awarded to the
Stars by the decision of the
League which made the score a
tie; hence the game was declared
q draw.
When Charm an Whitney had
announced the vote, Captain
Thompson said that at the re-.
quest of the members of the st..
Louis Baseball club he pre-.
scented their resignation from
this seasons League and
would move that it he accepted.
Captain Wilder of the Stars and
Mr.. German of the Regiments
moved and seconded that it be
laid on the table. Carried.
The meeting then adjourned.
I It is understood that one of the
alleged grievances Of the st. Louis
club is that they were not allowed
to play out the ninth innings OF
the game played on the 5th Of
July, in which protest was fled,
two runs allowed and the game
declared draw. Since the League
has had time to consider the mat
ter some of its members have un.
doubtedly come to the conclusion
that it acted hastily in declar-
ing the game q draw
and that the correct decision
would have been to give the Stars
the two runs asked for, making
the score 7 to 7, and ordering the
last half of the ninth innings to
be finished, or if necessary more
innings to be played. This may
yet be done, in justice to the st
Louis team, but 80 far Captain
Thompson has not asked it of thu
League.
The BULLETIN is requested t.
announce that the Stars anc
Regiments will play out the sea-
son just as though nothing hat
happened.

Text of the Decision in the johnson
w. ". md L. CnAC.


Austin. Texas, January 1.-THE supreme
court handed down the following opinion
today
TEXAS PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY
VS.. JOE JOHNSON application for writ
OF error, from Tarrant
AT the last term of this court this case
was before us On certificate of dissent
and we then decided the main question,
which is presented by the application. t3o
5. W., l0i2) The application contains the
additional point that the court errea In not
submitting 10 the jury charge requested
by the defendant below presenting an issue
as 10 whether the plaintim was guilty If
contributory negligence in failing to reg
lister the time at which his train departed
from Fort Worth. The court OF civil ap-
peals rightly held that the matter was not
pleaded by the defendant. therefore. there
was no error in refusing the charge. in
affirming the judgment OF the district
court in accordance with the opinion of
this court ON certificate of dissent the court
OF civil appeals MED an opinion in whicn
it is insisted that this court mistook the
point OF dissent presented to 1t heretofore
and decided upon proposition not en-
braced in the certificate.
In our former opinion We stated the point
OF dissent as follows:
"Thc majority of the court of civil APP
peals held that the Judgment of the dis
lilct court should be reversed and the
cause remanded. stating their reasons for
such conclusion in the following language:
The court In effect charged that II the
defendant with knowledge of Roberts In
competency, retained him in its service,
and the injury inflicted upon the plaintiff
was brought about by that incompetency
the company would be Liable. even though
the plaintiff knew of such incompeteRcy.
provided he did not further know Or by the
use of ordinary diligence was unable to
ascertain that the incompetent conductor
was in charge of the train following that
under the control of the plaintiif. The
majority Of this court are of opinion thdt
the concluding proposition OF this insiruc-
tion is erroneous, that it vitiates the charge
and requires reverse Of the judgment,
as in all probability 1t seriously Affected
the verdict OF the jury Justice Hunter
of the said court dissented from the opin-
ion Of the majority. which dissent has
been certified 10 this court"
The court was called upon to determine
the question as 20 whether the Judgment
of the district court should he reversed
because of the charge. II was held that
the reckless character of Roberts as a
conductor was not proven to be known
by plaintiff before the accident. and so the
charge II erroneous was not material. 1t
was held that the general reputation CT
Roberts as conductor did not affect
plaintiff unless he had knowledge OF Rob
orts' character az such. We see no reason
to change the opinion on that subject. APP
