' The millinery department, which is on the second floor of the store, was handsomely decorated for the occasion and the late arrivals of all the new creations in millinery fancies deftly arranged on the spacious tables and conveniently arranged shelvings, pre sented a pretty appearances. Misses Alma Brown And Agnes Pres- son, tne talented bead milliners, who spent three weeks in New York, Phil adelphia and other Northern markets just prior to the opening of the season, brought back with them some of the prettiest styles that could be gathered in the fashionable markets there, and these were yesterday the objects of much admiration by all the fair visi tors at the store. Misses Brown and Presson are assisted in the sales and trimming departments by six other young ladies, all versed in the milli nery trade and so obliging that every visitor is impressed with the ease and satisfaction with which purchases can be made of them.

Among other things it is Reported that he told the darkies they ought to have had him for a leader last November, and what great things he would have done.. Sheriff MacRae told the man that he was sheriff of the county, and it was his duty to afford all the protection to people that he could, but if he was fool enough to go around talking that way he would be powerless to keep some crowd from cracking his neck. The man denied that he had been doing any talking, but afterwards he swaggeringly told somebody he wasn't afraid. It is believed he is about half cracked. The Market Street Matter. Joe Smith, a diminutive negro boy, was before the Mayor yesterday after noon, charged with reckless driving, he having been the driver of the milk cart which ran over a little white girl bicyclist on Sixth and Market streets Monday afternoon, about which there has been so much comment and apropos of which there has been so many suggestions looking to a strengthening of the police protection afforded against this evil there. There was no evidence that the boy defend ant was guilty of, fast driving and he was discharged. In this connection it would be well to state that Chief Parmele keeps a special policeman on this beat regularly and the accident on Monday afternoon was simply an inevitable though regrettable occur rence, as was intimated in the Star of yesterday.

McCreedy, J. E. McGregor, Clement St. Martin, Harry Gibbs and other admirable" play ers. "The Turtle" is curiously dis cussed in remote centres of civilization like Chicago and St. Louis and pretty much every stranger visiting New York during its run made a bee line for the Manhattan. This word of mouth advertisement that "The Tur tie" obtains is considered about the most valuable that could be devised. Local theatre parties are already being arranged and somebody of public dis tinction is to be pointed out in every audience. The advance sale of seats will com mence at Gerkin's to morrow morn ing.
