LUCIA" IN RAVEN TRESsES.
Patti Insisted on Catering to Her Old
Friends

Nine. Patti appeared recently as Luz
cia in her little theater at Craig y Nos,
an : fortunate guest, who saw and
heard her, reports: "She dispensed
with a wig in this part, for Patti had
bleached her raven locks fiery gold -
This fact is significant, and recalls
this same Lucia, these same raven
locks" and rare performance of the
Bride of Lammermoor in New Or
leans one night in the early COS.
In the autumn of 1859 Adelina Patti,
then slip of a girl barely 16 years of
the throat of nightingale-the throat
which has since made her rich and
famous-sang for the first time in
public, the part of Lucia in that fine
old opera, The Bride of Lammermoor,
to New Yoi K audience. AS the
Scottish heroine, of course, Adelina
was compelled to cover up her ebon
braids with wig of flaxen hair. Later
on she reached New Orleans. In that
city Patti, with her sister carlotta and
her brother Carlo, had spent her early
childhood, and she knew and loved
nearly all of those who came to greet
her as an operate star at the French
opera house.
Just before the curtain rose on the
opening night Mr.. Strakosch, who was
to conduct the opera, appeared in the
green room and was amazed to find
the Bride of Lammermoor waiting to
go OF the stage with her own black
tresses waving down her back instead
of the pale, corn-colored locks of the
Scottish lassie.
"Why, Addie, what does this mean? ?"
excitedly inquired the great impress
sario.
That l am going to wear my own
hair tonight" replied the budding
prima donna.
But you must not. 1t is inartistic,
inaccurate, absurd"
"Oh, 40, it is not absurd" calmly
responded Patti. my old friends in
New Orleans only know me as a
black-haired. skinny little Italian, and
not as golden-crowned Scottish girl;
besides l will not disguise myself to-
night to please any one"
The distracted manager argued,
protested, threatened and caioled, but
"Addie" stood firmly to her purpose.
A tremendous welcome was accorded
the youthful diva. but the audience
greeted Lucia, not as a fair-polled
bride, but as their own "black-hsired.

A TRAGEDY OF THE CIVIL WAR.
A Southern Bride Killed by a Cannon
Ball Durinq the Ceremony.

Dali DuIiit9 Nii- WI
Recalling the historic incident clus-
tering about South Cardinals execu-
tive mansion, Mrs. Thaddeus Horton
writes, in the Ladies' Home Journal, of
the shocking tragedy that occurred
there toward the close of the war.
This was the death of the daughter of
Gov. Pickens Immediately after her
marriage to Lieutenant lie Rochelle,
"On the afternoon preceding the even
ing of the marriage the northern army
began Smelling Columbia, but prepara-
lions for the wedding continued. Fin
ally the guests were all assembled and
the clergyman was proceeding with
the solemn ceremony, and had just
joined the right hands of the happy
pair, when, suddenly, there was an
awful crash, and ball from the
enemys cannon penetrated the man
sion and burst in the middle of the
marriage chamber, scattering its
death-dealing missiles in every direc-
ton There were screams and heart
rending groan; mirrors crashed; the
house shook; women tainted; and
walls rocked to and fro.
when the first confusion was over
it was discovered that in all the crowd
only one person was injured, and that
was the bride herself. She lay partly
on the floor and partly in her lovers
arms, crushed and bleeding, pale but
very beautiful, her bridal gown
drenched with warm blood, and a
great cut in her breast. Laying her
on lounge, the frantic bridegroom
besought her by every term of tender
ness and endearment to allow the cere-
mony to proceed, to which she weakly
gave consent, and lying like crushed
flower, no less white than the camel
las of her bridal bouquet, her breath
coming in short gasps, and the blood
flowing from this great, angry wound,
she murmured yes to the clergyman,
and received her husbands first kiss.
A moment more and all was over.
"She was laid to rest under the
magnolias, and the heartbroken BRIDE
groom, reckless with despair, returned
to his regiment"

TO BUY TURNpIKES.
Meeting of County Court Committee

Held Saturday Morning Fair Pro-

A meeting of the owners Of the various
turnpikes throughout the country, and
the committee of magistrates appoin ed
by the county court to confer with them,
was held Saturday morning, the purpose
of the conference being to look after the
matter of buying the pixies for the
county. The committee was composed
of Messrs- B S. Thomas, w. O. Gordon,
Jas A. Sanders, j. Ii. Courtney and
Esq. Holt.
The matter was discussed at length,
and fair progress, it is said, was made
toward consummating the deal. The
committee will make its report to the
regular quarterly meeting of county
court the first Monday in July, and If
the terms are agreeable, the matter will
then be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie at the August election. There are
about eleven turnpikes represented.

this view: tt ey contend that the figl t

in this county, and by putting the pri-

will receive the benefit. Voters, they say,
will hardly put ballot in one box for
McMilln for Governor, and then turn to
another box and deposit ballot for Nc
Millin for the United States Senate.
"Mr. McMillins friends we're jubilant
over the result, though, and in fact a
majority of his friends supported the
November date, and some of his appoin.
tees worked hard for it, However, a
good many of Mr.. Carmack's friends who
are open and avowed in support of him
voted against Aug.2 These facts would
seem to make the result perplexing, since
it mixes up matters badly as to Gov
McMillin and Mr. Carmack"

AMBUScADE NEAR TEN TsIN
Rear Admiral Remy Ordered from
Manila to Taku With the
Armored Cruiser
Brooklyn.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Navy
Department this afternoon issued the
following bulletin:
"a telegram from Admiral Kempff,
dated Chefoo, June "a. says:
"'In ambuscade near Tien Tsin on the
21st, four of Waler's command killed
and seven wounded. Names will be
furnished as soon as received. Force of
1900 going to relieve Tien Tsin to-day.
'KEMPFF.'"
The Secretary of the navy has ordere d
Admiral Remey to go with the Brook
lyn to Taku and to tender to Gen. Mac
Arthur conveyance of any army troops
which the Brooklyn can carry.
Admiral Kempff's dispatch, giving
the first definite news of the shedding OF
American blood on Chinese soil came
early this morning and was turned oser
to Secretary Long as soon as he arrived
at the department. With Admiral
Crowninshield, the Secretary carried
the dispatch to the White House,
where, on the Presidents return from
church, it was laid before HIM.
The determination thereupon was
reached to order Admiral Remey, in
in command of the Asiatic squadron
from Manila to Taku, on board of the
armored cruiser Brooklyn. The Secre.
tary and Admiral Crowinshield returned
to the Navy Department, where the
necessary .orders were dispatched to
Admiral Remey.
The effect of this transfer is to make
Taku the headquarters of the Asiatic
squadron. The Brooklynis expected tc
sail at once to-day, if possible, as the
orders sent contemplate getting the Ad
miral on the scene as early as possible.

Supreme Court Passes on One of His
Cases-Last Chance.

JACKSON, June 23.-The Supreme
Court of Tennessee to-day affirmed the
sentence of three years. imprison
ment against A. X. Ward, of Memphis,
for forgery. Ward was a prominent
business man and highly con-
nected. He is charged with having

he was captured and brought back.
He has had seven trials before. Three
times he was convicted, the jury was dis
missed once and three times there were
failures to agree. s#E
There are ninety-six indictments
against Ward.
He has one chance yet to postpone sen.
tence, and that is before the Supreme
Court of the United States on the ques-
ton of extradition, the State of Tennes
see holding that no extradition law ex.
listed with Honduras when he was
brought back, and that he could he
