AN EXCELLENT BILL.
The BijOu's Offering This Week Is
Fully Up to the Standard.

The bill presented at the Bijou last
night was an exceptionally strong one,
and among the numbers were two acts
that were really clever I'm comparison
with the usual run of vaudeville offer
ings. They were those of the Goldens and
Brown, Harrison and Brown Daisy Col
den, a sprightly little woman, with
piquant air, and Billy Golden. the "cullud
lady" full of springs, scored genuine
hit. and presented one of the best acts
seen upon the stage of the Bijou this
season. Miss Golden talks well. dances
well, and looks well and what more
could the poor girl do? Billy Golden is
simply immense" and this word may
be used in both its meanings when APP
piled to him and his makeup, Brown:
Harrison. and Brown DO little bit OF
everything, and their dancing. singing,
and comedy business was all OF the high
est order The Craig Musical Trio made
good music from number OF unique In
struments, and the SILLY KID OF the
comedian of the team furnished all the
fun necessary. His dronery kept the au-
dience laughing almost during the entire
act. Brannon and Collins ratified off
their talk and had their auditors with
them from the start. DICK and Ehle
CURE made a hit chiefly on account OF
the makeup Of the latter. Many thought
that she was real coon" until she
showed Der bare arm, and until TINS was
done there were just a few Kisses. Perry

slowly as I'm the picture last night the
only wonder Is that the whole town didn't

very interesting TO those with a vivid

shown by the vitagraph were very good.

The decision of the court reads as
follows:
1T is shown by the testimony that:

result of neglect or defective ap-
paratus, but part of the performance,
an expected scenic makeshift, long
sanctioned by the acceptance of the

amount of refined Illuminating oil sup,

There is general opinion, says a
Brooklyn writer, that men are above
the consideration OF fashions, that only
women are interested in them. This
is mistake. If l remember correctly,
Adam had as much to do as Eve with
the selection Of the material and the
cut of the first piece OF tailoring ever
done. I picked up a book al the club
the other day, in which the writer
claimed that clothes have more effect
upon US than we imagine. He said our
department depends upon Our dress.
Make man get into seedy, wornout
rags, and he can't help sl1ulking alOng,
head hanging down. But deck out the
same article in gorgeous raiment and
fine linen, and he will strut down the
main thOroughfare, swinging his cane
and looking al the girls, as perky as a
bantam cock. Every day when | turn
the pages of my paper and see elabo-
rate descriptions Of dresses and bon
ents, how to make biscuits and curl the
hair, details Of an elegant petticoat
that has just made its appearance in
Paris, and Of what the Duchess OF
Marlborough is wearing in London:
when, say, am confronted daily with
a wide variety and quantity Of valua BILE
reading-all for wOmen-somehow I
can't restrain a little lonely Juggling
down there to the left of my waistcOat.
Man seems so neglected, so utterly left
out in the COLOR, to be perfectly eX-
act-the hot! I am sure there must be
other men who would like to hear once
in a while about the correct caper in
shirts and neckties, the prevailing
mode in masculine millinery, whether
it is better to shave up or shave down,
what food to eat in hot weather, hints
upon the care of the complexion, and
mistakes to avoid in dress. Speaking
Of mistakes, reminds me that I should
like to take advantage of my opportun-
fly to ask why men, who are always
careful to buy good clothes, take SO
little trouble to wear them properly?
They will put on a scarlet cravat on a
pink shirt. know that there has been
great revolution in the ordinary
male human being. We used to talk
about the soberness and dullness of
mems attire, and there have been times
when almost every one of us men has
sighed for the scarlet doublet, the wav-
ing plume and the clanking sword.
They will never return, I know, but
don't you observe, on the other hand,
that nobody except ministers and I'M
dertakers ever goes about in black
coats and trousers, black hats and
black boots? There never was a time
in recent years when more cOlors and
more brilliant ones, were to be seen in
mans dress than today. But this
makes it all the more necessary that
every man should study the eternal fit
ness of things. You can tell a mans
taste quicker 10y the kind of cravat he
wears than by any other thing he has

WHEN SILENCE IS EFFECTIVE.

A very clever woman-cleyer be-
cause she knew how to hold he" tongue
was once heard telling a friend, in
confidence, when asked why she had
not taken part in a conversation Of
the previous evening in which nearly
every one had Joined, that she had
kept quiet because she was ignorant
OF the subject under discussion.
Whenever ] am not thoroughly in
formed on a subject and feel incapable
of talking intelligently, why, I just
hold my tongue. l believe | have the
reputation OF being a good talker, but
if l talked about what l did not under
stand l should lose it," "But then one
appears so stupid to sit still and say
nothing when every one else is talk
ing" was the reply. II do not mind
that in the least" she answered; 81
am willing to run the risk"
This establishes an excellent prece-
dent in the art Of conversation. If one
finds oneself suddenly and without
warning surrounded by lot Of people
who knows it all'' it is far better to
keep silent than to launch forth into
the discussion Of an uneXplored sub
ject.

4 ROMANTIC ROGUE.
Social Highwayman Caressed Louise
Bignon Only to Rob Her.

A form in the gaslight, a kiss in the
dark and Nile. Louise BignOn and her
jewels had parted company. At
least that is the substance OF the young
womans testimony in a Paris court,
and there is no doubt that the young
ness is startling.
Mile. BignOn is the ffancee Of NJ. Paul
Lombard, young man well known
about town. She is one of those TALL
magnificent blondes, stylish and in
the first bloom Of youth. So proud
was her lover of his conquest that he
had showered all sorts of fine presents
upon her, and her diamonds we're the
admiration Of all who beheld her.
The other night Lombard took his
promised wife to a performance at La
Scala, one of the most famous music
halls N Paris, and the two occupied a
box. AS the night was close and
warm they left the door open-and
therein lies moral.

When the lights in the music hall

short but loud colloquy.

the wondering ears in the pit.
NO. why, what's the matter
with you?"

young woman. 1T has been stolen!'
and she commenced shrieking.
