ANNUAL ARION BALL.
Everything Will Be in Readiness for
it Friday Night

New York, Feb. 1O.-The work of prep
aration for the Arion mask ball announced
for Friday night, is almost completed, and
the amphftheater of the Madison Square
Garden, when the doors are opened, will
scarcely be recognized, even by it's reg
ular habitues, so thorough will be the
transformation.
The interior of the structure will be
made to represent a scene in Egypt in
the time of Rameses II, affording the
widest scope for decorative effects. All
previous endeavors of the Arion in the
line of ornamentation will be cast alto
Eether in the shade. Everything that in
genuity could suggest has been done to
make the affair the most imposing of it's
kind in the history of the society. The
demand for tickets up to the present has
exceeded all previous records. In various
parts of the garden there viii be a num-

ANDRES PRISON REOPENED
The Historic Stone House in Tappan
the Scene of Dancing and Feasting.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Old historic Tap
pan had an awakening last night such
as has not been witnessed in that place
for many years.
The occasion was the formal opening
of the '"76'' stone house, in which Maj
Andre was imprisoned at the time Of
the revolutiin and which was partly
blown down on the morning of Noven-
Der 2, last year.
Charles A Pike a wealthy resident
of Tappan, recently purchased the old
house, and has rebuilt it. 1t was last
night opened to the public for the first
time in more than 40 years, as Dr.
Stephens the former owner, refused ad-
mittance to visitors.
Mr. Pike thought the opening now
should be a celebration, and sent out
large number of invitations to his
friends. About 300 persons responded,
and breathing space was at a premium
Mr.. Pike procured music, and gave a
dance in which 80 couples Joined.
1t was not the Spirit of '76," but the
spirit of 1898, which pervaded the re-
constructed building. All memories Of
the time when Andre spent long, weary
nights in the old stone prison were for
gotten, at least, temporarily, by the
crowd that danced and Toasted there

DEPARTMENT STORES.
Buffalo Board of Aldermen Passes
Resolution Aimed at Them.
MODERN POLITE BURGI


Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 1O.-A resolution
was offered in the board of aldermen
today directing the corporation counsel
to frame an ordinance imposing a Ii
cense tax of 81, 900 on each department
of the department stores.
The resolution was adopted by vote
of "A to 1, after the amount of the Ii
cense had been eXpunged, leaving that
for later determination. The agitation
against department stores has been
growing rapidly here for more than a
year, and is fostered by the owners of
Main street stores, now vacant, who be-
heve that their tenants have been driv-
en- out of business by the big dealers.
The concurrence of the board of alder
men is necessary to pass the resolution
and a pretty fight is impending, for
the owner of the biggest department
store in town is Councilman Adam.
Mr.. Adams store contains q depart
ments. His brother also owns a store
with 81 departments.

CLOWNS IN PAJAMAS.
Three Shrewd Burglars Work a
Smooth Scheme.

ST. Louis, Feb. 10.-Dressed as clowns
with hoods over their heads and talking
in pantomime, three burglars last night
looted the residence of F. W. H. Kren-
ming No. 1927 Pauchenback avenue. The
lower floor was examined and $500 worth
of silverware secured. Then the three
assembled to the second floor, where they
examined the room of Mrs. Krenning.
They turned up the gas, locked the door,
and though Mrs. Krenning was awake,
they paid no attention to her, but contin-
ued their work of examining the dresser
and closets. They secured a diamond
charm belonging to Mrs. Krenning, but
no money was found.
AS they went out Mrs. Krenning recov-
cred her voice and her cries a-woke her
husband. who started in pursuit, accom-
panied by his son Fred, but the burglars
slammed the door in his face, and before
the pursuers could get outside they were
out of sight.
In the hurry of their escape the burg
lars omitted to take the bag of silver
ware which they had deposited in the
hall. The burglars were attired in figured
bahamas and held their conversation in
Dantornime so clearly that Mrs. Krenning
could understand all they meant, but she
was so astonished that she lost her voice

In these days of enforced economy, it
should be a pleasure to any woman to
learn how she can save the
cost of a gown for herself and
suit for the little one, or can
make her husbands faded cloth
ing look like new. Diamond Dyes,
which are prepared especially for home
use, viii do this. They are so simple
and easy to use that even a child can
get bright and beautiful colors by fol-
lowing the directions on each package.
There is no need of sOiling the hands
with Diamond Dyes; just lift and stir
the goods with two sticks while in the
dye baths. and one will not get any
stains or spots.
In colOring dresses, coats, and all
large articles, to get a full and salts
factory color, it is absolutely necessary
to have a special dye for cotton goods
and a different dye for wooden goods.
This is done in Diamond Dyes, and be-
fore buying dyes, one should know
whether the article to be coIOred is cot
ton or wool, and get the proper dye
do not buy dyes that claim to color ev-
erything, for their use will result in
failure.

TOLEDO BLUE LAWS.
Declared as Bad as Cholera-To End
Their Existence.

Toledo, Feb. 1O.-The life of the NUM-
cipal blue laws will be very short. They
received blow from the council last
night that sent them SPRAYING in a
heap An ordinance was passed by a
unanimous vote repeating all municipal
laws and ordinances relating to the
closing of any business on Sunday or
any other day. The ordinance will have
to pass the board of aldermen next
Monday night and receive the mayors
signature, both of which will be done,
and that will end the blue laws so far
as this city is concerned.
The citizens will have to endure the
laws one more Sunday. and then the
agony will be over, and Toledo will be
back in her old tracks again. 1t was the
worst experience Toledo has gone
through with, so old citizens say, since
the cholera in 1854.

TEACH SOMETHING USEFUL
University of California Planning an
Innovation.

San Francisco, Feb. 1O.-The regents
of the University of California have de-
cided to establish a college of commerce
as one of the departments at the uni
versity. President Kellogg is directed

proved in 1879, to act as instructor in
the college The president of the uni
versity is empowered to recommend to
some suitable educator to direct the
new college. 1t has been decided to in
vite some prominent eastern instructor
to deliver the commencement address.
Many branches, technical and mechan-
zeal as well as strictly commercial will
be taught, including the building of iron
and steel vessels.
