 The long lace barbs which have been stored away in the treasure box for years may h., brought out once more and used for necIstie. They are long enough to tie in the fashionable manner and 1t hardly mat ters what kind of lace they are. since every thing in the way of lace is worn.

porated under the laws of the state and ob- discussion, however. as to just what effect incorporation would have on the subscrib- CTS, who are to constitute the members of the association. It was said that the mem- bers would not be bound individually for any debts the association might make fur ther than the amounts they had subscribed, and then only in case this years festival is not a success. This association will be on the same footing that any other social, ed- ucational, religious or other similar or ganization which organized under the state law.
 After all the resolutions and motions which the discussion had provoked had been boiled down, it was decided that the or ganization be called the Birmingham Mu- sical Festival association" and that com mittee of five be appointed to incorporate and get a charter for the organization. The chair announced the following committee for that purpose: Walker Percy, A. T. London, M. l.. Ullman John P. Tiliman and E. K. Campbell, all of who mare sub scribers to the festival fund.
 The following officers were then elected.
 JAMES BoWRON, president
 R. $. MUNGER, vice president.
 A. R. DEARBORN, secretary.
 OTTO MARK, treasurer.
 PROF. B. GUCKENBERGER, director
 There a great deal of discussion provoked during the election by the state- ment of Messrs. Bowron and Munger that they would be al sent from the city all of February-and probably the most of March, and asking that other officers be elected But, notwithstanding their objections, they were elected to their respective positions unanimously.
 The following board of directors were then elected, of which board the officers named above are ex-officio members R. F. Manly O. Chalifoux, Claude Seals, J. A. Van Hoose, F. Y. Anderson, Soion Jacobs, Emil Lesser and B. Steiner.
 During the meeting K. N. Rhodes made a suggestion which seemed to meet with general approval and which will very prob ably be adopted. That is that the associa- ton be not loaded down with a long con stitution and set of bylaws, but that the board of directors be given almost absolute power to do they see fit, referring back to the association such questions as they want the members to dec.de.

THE MEN RESPONSIBLE

From the New York Journal.
 Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt and his brother are now members of the United States sen ate. They have in their hands just one half the representation of this state-both halves, in fact, for Platt, hating Depew per- sonally, yet accepting him, shows that the Vanderbilts own him also.
 $ It will be quite interesting to see what the Vanderbilt gentry will do with their new toy. MT. William K. Vanderbilt, who bought an English duke, knows now for himself how dukes used to feel when they sent their linen" to sit in the house of com mons. He knows a feeling that no duke ever knew, for he has sent his "man" to sit in the upper house. In England duke is compelled to go there himself if he

She declared to the inspector of police that Gagne had treated her brutally, striking her ana once leaving her lying on the floor of their room. She asserted that Gagne endeavored to have her associate with various dis reputable characters men and women and that her refusal was the cause of his brutal treatment. She said that last Monday ng advantage of the fact that Gagne went out of their apartments leaving the door unlocked she donned short skirts, put on false hair and left the place in dis euise and that she did not dare reveal her identity till she knew that her husband had been arrested as she feared that he would kill her.
 Continuing she said "The story of my property is absolutely true. My real name is Rose Wallace. I would have inher ted the farm of my grandmother if I had not married this man The money in question is represented hy mining stocks deposited at Chihuahua, Mexico"
 She said her grandmot thers name was Milburne and that the farm she was to in- herit was in Mrs M lburnes name. lying eight miles out of Evansville on the Hen derson road.

number of people who are afflicted
with colds. It has been long time
since the last recital and therefore
this one seemed to be all the more en-

Abbie Jennings, Mamie Smithson,

acquitting herself in manner that
brought forth much applause. These

j. F. Parks is in receipt of letter
from g. w. Wattles, who has returned
to Omaha from Washington. Mr.. Wat

fore the Military committee of the
house on the National Sanitarium bill
by Gen. Manderson, Capt. Palmer, Mr..
Gamble and others were strong and
convincing, and that he feels that q
favorable impression has been made
upon the committee. He looks for q
favorable committee report, but says
that SO many national questions are
now absorbing congress that it is diff
cult to get action upon matters of this
nature, though he is now quite firmly
convinced that the Sanitarium will be
secured for this city, though possibly
not until next congress. Mr.. Wattles
did very effective work in behalf of the
measure and the people of Hot Springs
are grateful to him for his services.

A Bad Fail.

Last Friday night being snch a bit
terly cold night, j. q. Chapman, jani-
tor at the court house, concluded that
he would arrange comfortable sleep
ing place for himself 10y fixing up u
temporary cot over the furnace in the
basement. While dreaming sweetly,
no doubt, of lettering about in the
balmy atmosphere of Africa, or some
other equally salurbrious cline, he
must have suddenly sought to escape
from the jaws of an alligator, boa con-
strictor, or other infuriated and hun
CRY reptiles of that land of perfume
and bugs and things. At any rate all
of sudden Mr.. Chapman sprang from
his new made bed into the dark. and
found himself rolling and tumbling
downward, striking iron rods and
chains and everything that would be
inclined to bruise and hurt ones bones
and flesh. He struck the bottom, fin
ally, however-so shocked and para.
lyzed that he knew not where he was
or what he had been up to. He stag
gered, barefooted and in his shirt
sleeves, out into the streets, and un-
Willingly went in the right direction,
toward town. He strayed down to the
Union depot, where night policeman
Cleghorn took him in hand and made
him comfortable as possible until DIR.
Jennings could be called. The doctor
found the shoulder dislocated and sew.
eral painful bruises about the face and
body. These were dressed and Mr..
Chapman felt better, but it will be sew
eral days before he will regain his
usual elasticity and buoyancy. In the
mean time our friend is sojourning at
Alliance, nursing his troubles, but with
good care will probably be home in q
short time. Sincerely the STAR sym.
patbizes with Mr.. Chapman in his
painful injury.
