A GREAT SUCCESS.
Five Hundred Persons ReveI i'm the
PrOdigality of Pleasure at
AstOr hall.

Mrs. Astor's ball at New York the
other night was a triumph of simplicity
attained by subtle art, exquisite taste
and the most captivating prodigality
of wealth. Five hundred persons rev.
eled in it. They danced in the art gal
lery TO airs of Eskel Strauss and Wald-
teuffel, played by Berger and Lander
on balcony that statues of satyrs held.
Figures of Flemish princesses and of
the ideal subjects of Vatican and Pater
looked at them.
Mrs. Astor alone received her guests.
She was never more affable, and sincere
affection for her was expressed impul-
sively. The dances were informal until
1890, when supper was served at small
tables in the dining-room and corridor.
After supper the cotillon was danced.
Elisha Dyer led il with Mrs. Astor's
daughter, Mrs. NJ. Orme Wilson, at one
end of the room. Harry Lehr led it
with Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish at the other
end of the room. The favors were in
three figures. In the first were silver
baskets of artificial flowers, carried on
golden poles by footmen in livery. and
boutonnieres. In the second were
French buckles on ribbons that were
belts and walking sticks with heads
of personages Of history, comedy and
tragedy. In the third were blotters
ard portmonnaies. paper cutters and
pincushions.

the name of Gregg through life.
The int Sention of the decedent, it is
supposed. was that his niece should re-
main single al the days of her life. The
young woman. of course, wanted the
money, bu, she was equally desirous of
securing Joseph ". Dillon for hus-
band. The question was submitted to
lawyers. who advised the young man
to append the name Gregg to the cog
nomen which ne already possessed, and
then when she was married her name
still would be Gregg and she could,law-
fully receive the money.
The petition was referred to Judge
Withrow, who promptly granted the

a way out of very peculiar dilemma,
and the marriage will take place as
agreed upon before Daniel Hopkins

People in the Creighton theater,

of big baboon in drunken frenzy
the other day. He was at liberty for
20 minutes, and during that time
caused more damage about the arcades
of the building and on the stage of the
theater than three men could have
done. Three long mirrors in as many
dressing-rooms were broken by the
beast. These mirrors were the object
of his special fury. probably from the
fact that he saw his own reflection in
them, and thought il another of his
kind.
The baboon belongs to Prof. Macart's
performing troupe of dogs and mon
keys. He is usually chained in dress

IN Extracted Thirty-Two Nears
After Besng Fired I'm
= Fight.

Byram {. Austin, of Kansas City, Mo-,
has jest celebrated by having bullet
extracted from his tongue which en-
tered his body diring free fight 81
years ago. He was shot in front of the
Glenwood schoolhouse in Lafayette
county. four miles southwest of Lex
ington. in July, 1866.
AT the time the Cumberland Presby-
terians were holding services in the
school. After services Mr.. Austin,
leaving the church, came on three
brothers of family named Casper.
They had become engaged in quarrel
with Austin's friend. Martin Baker, and
had shot him with revolver.
Il stepped in TO protect my friend, y
said Austin. THE youngest of the Cas-
per brothers had shot my friend, then
l shot the next Oldest and then the next
oldest shot me. / was leaning over to
cock my pistol for another shot when l
got a bullet in my mouth"
The bullet was from a Colts navy
revolver, an old-fashioned. muzz.e-
loading weapon. 1t knocked three
teeth out of the upper jaw, went
through the jaw bone and lodged some
where down the throat. Austin never
suffered much from the wound. For
two years assesses would form on the
tongue, but they would soon break,
and the pain would then leave him. \
few days ago Mr.. Austin felt some
thing rough, like pebble, in the roof
of his tongue. He suspected what it
was and went TO DR.. w. c. Allen, who
lifted out the bullet from the flesh with
pair of plyers almost as easily as if
it had been lying on the surface of the
skin. The bullet is twisted and bent,
as if it had been hammered with rough
stones. On one side are plain marks
where it scraped the teeth.
