JULIA ARTHUR RETIREs

Her ILLNESS COllPELS THE
ACTRESS TO LEAVE THE STAGE.
IL is probable that Miss Julia Ar
thur has been seen on the stage for the
last time She lies in her room at the
Hotel Walton, philadelphia. a victim
of nervous collapse. Benjamin Cheney,
her husband, stated last night that her
engagements for the balance Of the sea-
son, five weeks, had been cancelled, and
that she will not play next season, and
viii never play again unless, in inn
proved health, she should desire to ap-
pear at times for short seasons.
The new play More Than Queen,
with its character of the suffering En-
press Josephine, proved too much for
the actress. She fairly lived the part
of the depressed wife Of Napoleon and
the strain proved too taxing for her
nervous system.
Coupled with the burden that the
acting of her part brought her was the
tax on her strength the wearing of
some of her handsome gowns involved.
One of these, which she wore during
the coronation and the previous scenes,
weighed 100 pounds. The jeweled
crown she wore weighed nearly ten
pounds This heavy weight the actress
had to carry for threeQuarters of an
hour at each performance, and she Of
ten complained that she was not equal
to the task.
A warning of the breakdown came
to Miss Arthur during the first week
of her engagement at the Broad Street
Theatre. Each morning upon getting
up and every night after the perform
ance she complained of being tired. HeI
grit held her together, however. Last
Monday night, when she appeared fol

NEW CAsTLE PRIMARIES.

The Evening Journal has made very
careful inquiry into the facts involved
in the republican primary at New Cas-
tie on Saturday, and vouches for the
correctness Of its report as found in
our local columns today
So far as the action Of Sheriff Taylor
is concerned, there is no way to excuse
him. He is an officer of the peace. OF
duty to preserve the peace and MAIN
tain order he cannot divest himself.
Wherever he is he is an officer, always
specially charged by law and public
duty to prevent or suppress disorder
Il is futile for him to assert that he
was present but his duty was mott
There was tumult, and by refusal to
suppress it he participated in. abetted

There were three judges; two Of then

not imaginable that they would refus

So far as the right Of w. j. Holman

BLACK AND WHITE MILLINERY
FOR SUMMER.

Many pretty toques are made up Of
white and black tulle, puffed so slight

the beauty Of these lie in the delicate
manipulation Of the gossamer. White
and black paradise tails are often used
as trimming, fastened in front and
floating back over the puffed tulle, but
punches of roses may be preferred,
three large blooms mixed with a little
green, or a round bouquet of pompons,
half open France buds, or noisette
roses.
The floral trimming is perhaps more
effective on an erection of black tulle
only, equally in vogue with combina-
tions of white and black alike for hats
and toques. One OF the former, with a
moderately wide brim. Is covered with
black mousseline de sole. drawn up in
tiny bouillonnes;i has no further deco
ration outside, but against the brim,
which is turned right up In front, is
placed a large circular wreath Of pom

with black and white guipure inser-
tion;; there is a band Of black round
the edge of the brim and round the base
of the crown, the interval being in
white lace, the same arrangement oil
alternate bands showing on the side
and top of the crown. This hat is trim

A DAGGER FELL.
And Stabbed a Lady In the Theatre
Below.

and STABBED Lazy IN tne ineatTS
Below.
There are two tiers Of boxes in the
Comedie Francois. Paris, in which the
ladies wear fine dresses. The lower
tier projects further into the body of
the house than the upper, so that any
object, falling from the latter, might
readily strike a person sitting in the
former. While Perrot the tenor, was
revelling in his piercing high notes
the other night, a much be-jeweled
woman in one of the boxes in the sec
ond tier, CHANGED to lean over the
rail to gaze at the orchestra stalls.
The movement shook piece of jewel
ry from her hair, and it fell swiftly
into the box beneath. Under some cir
cumstances the ornament would have
been lost but it so happened that 1t
found a sweet and safe resting place.
A fresh, big-eyed beauty in the low
er box suddenly startled her friends
by clutching her pretty neck and ex-
claiming: "Oh, I think I'm stabbed! -
Everybody bent solicitously toward
her demanding to know the trouble.
She tapped her breast and gasped:
81 felt a sharp weapon strike me
here"
At that moment a gentleman en-
tered the box. Pardon my intrusion. .
he said but my wife in the box above
dropped a jewel out of her hair. Have
you seen anything of it?'
The lovely girl, who thought herself
stabbed, sat upright in her chair and
looked frightened. Then she dashed
into the back room, from which she
returned shortly and said: Here is
the Jewell holding forth a handsome
diamond dagger. Where she found the
dagger would have remained a mys-
terry unless a young man, who had
been sitting at her side. saw where
it dropped just inside her corsage.
