Miss Blackbarn Enthnsiastie Over Her Yellowstone Play, Busily Employed Directing the Scenic Work on the Cosmpolitan Stage ~How the Effects Will be Produced. N. Y. Journal, A scene on the stage in the Cosmopoli- tan Theatre yesterday aftornoon was one formed of # confusion of daubed scenery, ropes, pulleys, carpenters, painters and a handsome young lady. “‘Miss Blackburn!" A pair of deep blue eyes looked away - | from a huge construction that resembled a tread-mill, and_which is supposed to resomble a waterfall when r ing, and gave a charm to the reply, which was; ‘“That is my name, sir, Yes, I am the lessee of this theatre and hope to produce on Monday ovening a grand_spectacular drama_entitled ‘On the Yellowstone.’ We will endeavor to reproduce the gey- sers and canyon falsand represent as nearly as possible the beautiful Yellow- stone Valley.” Miss Blackhurn is a tall daughter of California, with dark complexion and red cheeks and the genoral air of self-pos- session boru to girls of that clime. She was attired in quict cashmere dress and sealskin sacque. On her head wasa jaunty broad-brimmed black hat trimmed witha long ostrich plume surrounding tho brim and drooping down the back, and from beneath it obtruded a roguish cluster of crispy brown bangs. » do you_expect to produce the was asked of the fair lessee as ted away lightheartedly about the prosi.ects of her play. “We've got some pulverizod fish-scales to shoot out of a funnel,” broke in the gruff voice of one of the untidy gentlemen o wielded a stick of bristles, ‘Nonsense,” eaid Miss Blackburn, stamping her slender foot upon the floor. “‘We have a quaniity of what is called snow powder. It is pulverized mica and will be peured into a funnel in the floor of the stage and forced Into the air by a tank of compressed air from beneath. When the calcium lights are thrown on this white fountain, the effect wilt be very real and, I think, pretty.” *‘Dye see that washing machine over there?” again interrupted the grufl voice. “‘That big thing with the crank handles, I mean. That is to be the great ‘Old Faithful’ waterfall.” Mr. Deverna, one of the scenic artists, was subjected by a good-natured retort trom his fair overseer, and she continued that the falls would be represented by a revolving scene. The water effect will all ba produced by the action of lights on the wooden wheels, and the foam at the base of the fall will be created by an explosion of steawn that will shoot up through jets in the floor., ““The whole stuge is a net work of rub- ber hose for conducting the steam,” continued Mirs Blackbnrn, “‘The falls will be continued across the stag eand an upper fall will by realistically produced at the rear of the large one, so that if you had ever visited the Yellowstone, I am sure when you witness our production of the piece of scenery you would give it credit at least for its novelty, if not for realism. We have been at great expense for several weeks to elaborate this play, and the spectacle, aside from the play, which is an excellent one, will be some- thing new to New York.” ‘‘How did you come to go into the the- atrical business, Miss Blackburn{” ““Did you ever hear of Judge Black- burn, of San Francisco? He was my father, and when he died I was thrown upon my own resources and went upon the stage. 1 have appeared as Rosalind, Leah, and such characters. This play was written by Mr. Daggett, of The Vir- ginia City Enterprise, who was one of a party of uson a tour through the western scenic regions,’’ *‘Suppose ‘On the Yellowstone’ proves unpopular, what will yoa do then?”’ ¢‘Oh, T haveno fear of that. When once it has a start I think it will win favor. Besides I have lots of money and I shall get up another spectacular drama which will have for its chief feature an exhibition of the wonderful German mists.” “On_ the Yellowstone” is founded on fact, the character of Nancy Jane Hig- gins, taken by Miss Blackburn, being the heroine. The capture by Indians of Mrs. Kelly—who now holds a life position in Washington—and her thrilling adven- tures are the principal events that will be portrayed. The hervine becoming infat- uated “with the hushand of the person who impersonates Mrs. Kelly, saves him from death in going over the falls, and finally to her great sorrow succeeds in re- turning his wife to him. “This is my first appearance in New York,” concluded the vivacious goung lady, “‘and [ shall endeavor to prove that the west can produce something #or the entertainment of the metropolis, I ouly fear the critics.” o —— Hear Him, “T feel new, 1 was afflicted with sick hend- ache and general debilivy, but Burdod.

They suggest a man's awallow tail coat put on hind mde in tront. Elegant they are as one’s purse can buy; and at the same time a considerable of a show can be made with a moderate expenditure if shrewd taste be employed. Oddity of shape will often help cheap stuff to a fair degree of distinction. The new jackets are frequently very jaunty. They are made of heavy Indian cloth in many shades of brown and dull red, trimmed with bands of Astrakan of a deepor hue. Jerseys of vory heavy wool are trimmed with long- hatred furs, so that they have none of the tight, night-shirt look of the original,and thus metamorphosed are pretty ona good figure. Regular stockinet Jersey cloth is worn on the street, but the effect for cold weather is not commendable, unless the trimming be lavish and warm-looking. A novel opera wrap is the Chineso cloak, and it may be worn by daylight for car- riago use in making calls, 1t is made of cream-white Chinese silk, with hand-em- broiderod hedge roses strewn all over the soft ground. Inside, the lining is pale plush the shade of the flowera, The length is ample for enclosing the entire figure, and the full Chinese sleeves make it easy to get into and out of. The light- ness of color is paliatod by the size and softness, which combine to render the Wearer WArm in appearance. This being the time ot wraps, it is also one of much uncertainty as to the figures which they envolep. When a bulky wo- man is seen on thoe street with an exter- ior of irregular folds and draperies the wbgerver can’t tell how much of it is hu- man and how much garniture. It may be a slender woman with a great deal of garment, or a plump one with only a thin simulation of heavy covering. It is now, more than at any season of the year, pos- sible to graduate one’s outlines.” By the way, T had a lotter latoly asking just how thick a woman ought to be in proportion to her length. OF course a very young girl may becomingly be thinner than a have beon about s up the following table, Pouuds . 100 06 matron, but I think 1 right in maki Five in height should weigh..... ve feol one inch should weigh. ...

If you take that fora standard consider also “your configuration, If you are womanly in shape—that is to say, if your lines are distinctly carved by your frame- work of bones as well as by flosh, you do not negd quite so much weight for your height'8s though you were of the straight- up-and-down order. In selecting an out- door garment you ought to choose with reference to what kind of a basis your form provides for the proposed cloak or wrap. 1t isn't necessary to reveal your knowledge to anybody else than your maker—I mean your dressmaker—but it is a fact that the proper study of woman is woman, the particular subject be- ing herself, with a view to artistic im- provement. Charlotte Corday cloaks are particularly adaptable to traveling, and are in eapecial vogue among the actresses of combina- ticns, who aim at a striking effect upon the rural observer without delay. ‘They ar2 made of golden fawn-colored cash- mere, and lined with Venetian red silk, which should invariably be displayed by flapping open the front corners, The outsides are trimmed, often in eccentric patterns, with bands of natural beaver, silver fox, or marten, and there may be a cap, collar, and mufl’ to match. Thus wrapped, the merest walking lady of a barn-storming party is more gorgeous than Salvini in his remarkable ulster. The redingote is still popular, and it has the advantage of comfort and simplic “*Wait till I change my wrap,” said a friend, “‘and I'll walk down street with D “But I'm in a hurry,” I objected; ‘“‘what’s the matter with the one you've got on?” It was a beautiful affair of embossed velvet and fur, “I believe in dressing suitable for ev- ery occasion,” she replied; “I am now going to call on several poor families who have applied to our church for help. It is my opinion that a redingoteis the only proper garment to pay charity visits in? So 1 had to wait for the redingote to be donned. Anyhow, it wus a neat and becoming thing, and I suppose she knew it. It was long, and had a loose girdle round the waist, The material was dark brown, and a piece of velvet to match was st on the tov, like the yoke of a French pensant’s frock, ‘While young women adhero a great deal to tha redingote for unceremcnious wear, tho pelisse is in greater favor with middle-aged persons, Long visites have sleeves forming part of the back, and are seldom made to fit enuggly. Fur gar- ments present nothing new, bnt the anomaly continues that, while cloth wraps are 80 short behind in many of the styles, all fur ones are exceedingly long The reason for the difference is this: Some women, when the fashion of very long scalskins came in, put all the money they could spure into such aw all-covering garment, knowing that they could wich impunity wear any cheap old rage uuder it when on the prmaanc. This was an imposition which wealthy ladies didn't like to be suspected of, and so they encourage the bob-tailing of cloth wraps 80 a8 to show the finery of their dress- skirts, Tke long sealskin coats of the Newmarket style ave mistakes, and even in cloth they never can have more tkan a very limited favor. They are ouly suited to slender figures, lm{ are decided obstacles to the lifting of dresses from behind, a nacossity frequently in croasing streets or descending steps, even when the dress ie walking fength. They are not suitable for visiting, but only fer driving, as they can not readily be takew off or put on, and crush the lace about the neck aud sleeves. The fashionable aarment is the leng coat, shaped like an overcoat and made of the richest materi- als—silk plush, sealskina, and Lycas vel- vet, trimimed with fur, The finest coats are of Shetland seal, lined with guilted salin, and finished with sea! buttons, and these, which have inside and outside pockets, the latter iavisible, cost from 8300 to $300, Kome very hasdsome vel- vet eloth couts in a gray shade have been wade, lired with satin'and bordered with chinchilla; but ehinchilla is not & fur tha is now very largely used. Distin- guished-looking coats are suouse- colorcd velveteen, lined with with quilted satin surah and trimwed with otter, the collars of otter, and mu and toques made of velveteen trimmed to match. Some long paletots are ad mirably shaped, Picturesquencss is the| chief characteristic in the season's wraps, | women are nof, satisfied until they have gone to the vergo of ebsurdity in style uli znnd, a8 & matter of course, a good many colors. Some of the gay rarments in- tended for opera cloaks are boldly worn in the street. One young woman, and Yrr(oc(ly respectable, too, promenades Broadway in a brignt red envelope with Turkoman stripes, looking like a section from a circus procession. She has been well brought up, she has taken many and many a lesson in_art, she has all her life been acoustomed to mice society; and with all these advantages she doosn't know any botter than to array herself in a manner which makes folks turn round to giggle at the might, Besides the scarlot warp, the displays a red jockey cap, pulled down boy fashion nearly to her ocars, while the small amount of hair in view is cropped close The right way to treat those caps is to slightly feminize the effect by setting them far back on the head, so that the little poker of a visor, instead of shading the oyes, curves upward, and allows a soft Langtry bang or fluff of curls to show. There is nothing more captiva- ting in the toilet of a neat, gentle girl than something stolen from men’s fashions, and if she may taste she will in somo way unsex it, so that only enongh masculinity is loft for cutenoss, may never put on trousers, but depend upon it that if we do we will in some way render them captivating—trim them with lace, or something of that sort.

Soon the two old farmers were in coa- versation, ““Where are you from?” *“Ilive near Bula. Where do you hail from?” “‘I'm a protty near neighbor of yours ; I live near Kewanee.” “Farming?” “Yes. Are you!” farming and stock 1 to town with stocl ““Yos; brought up a hundred head of steers.” “1 brought hogs.” And go the conversatien ran on until just before the train reached Mendota, and the two old farmers were right well acquainted. Presently another man who looked like a merchant came in ana was surprised to see one of the old farmers, ‘“Well, well, well,” said the new man. “I'm glad to see you; maybe you can help me out of a little embarrassing troublo. [ want to pay a man a little bill on the train beforo T get off at Mendota, and 1 haven’t money enough. If you will let me have $100 on my check I'll be very much obliged.” “Certainly, I'm glad to do it,” and out came the farmer’s pockethook. But, alas, he only had $40 in small bi'ls and a beau- tiful crisp $500 bill. “*You're perfectly welcome to the $40 if that'll help you out, or to the $500 bill 1f you can get it broke.” *‘Perhaps your friend can help us out; the $40 will hardly answer,” said the merchant, and then he apologized for making 8o much trouble. “Well,” softly said the other farmer, who until now had been silently looking on, “‘I can’t change a $500 bill, but I can give you another one for it, and I think it came out of of the same batch, and was printed on the same press.” And turning to the other old farmer he added: *‘If your portner hadn’t come just a8 he did mine would have been hers in a minute. I've been getting ready to work you on the same game ever since we left Chicago.” At Mendota four very much disgusted confidence men stepped off' the train and stood around in the cold waiting for a train returning to Chicago. ~ e Petroleum at Baku on the Caspian W. Benjamin, U. 8. Charge at Teheran, in The Man- hattan for February. Around the old city built by the Per- sians & new city has grown up; the total population is now upward of 40,000. Fif- teen years ago Baku was,in point of fact, a Persian walled town, although under Russian rule. To-day it 1s a large and rapidly growing European city, with a highly important commerce. What has done this! The answer is, petroleum? From the time of Herodotus it has been known that the shores of the Caspian abounded in naphtha, bitumen, and in- flammable oil. = But it does not seem to have occurred to any one to make it avail- able for commerce, until after its possi- bilities had been tested by the develop- ment of tho coal-uil trade of the United States. Theie is nlways a first time. The time for Baku arrived with the governor who was sent thero fifteen years ago. To him occurred the idea that in this vast supply of petroleum, Russia possessed n mine of wealth, dustined to rival the gold fields of Cali- fornia, The chief difficelty, from the outset, was not in obtaiming the oil but in refining it to the degree where it could wival the petrolewm of America, It contains more naphthe than the Amer- ican ¢il, and great effost has been ex- pended in devising means to free the oil from this ingredient. Although as yet not ae pure as our petroleum, that of Baku is at least sufficiently clear t0 make it evident that unless our traders take the gmeatest precautions, #ussia is on the point of winning a large part of our markets for this very important article of commerce. L year the export of petroleum from Baku resched the enor- mous eum of 815,000,000, A large fleet of squere rigged vessels is engaged in transporting the commerce of Baku, which is also a station for severalliwes of steamers These koats have been built in sections in England and Sweden and floated down the Vaiga. But recontly fine veseels of 1,000 # have been built at Kessan, They catry large sail-power, as the pre- vailing winds of the Caspian ere twe val- uable ae aid to locemotion to be dis- pensed with, But the peculiarities of these rakish little steamers is ¢he engine, iwvented by » Russian., Petraleum, in- stead of weod or coal, is their motive power. A enall steam-engine is required to etart the engine; but that once done, the petroleum is forced through fine apertures, in the form of an impalpable spray into the furnace, where once kin- dled, it produces enormous heat. When I descended into the engine-toom of one of these steamers I could touch nothing without gloves, 80 widely was the Leat diffused. — The Langtry munagoment hus adopted o threesheet poster, at the top of which is em. * | hlazoned the crest and cont-of-arius of Albert : Edward, prince of Walos.

Numer. ous petitions were presented asking for woman suffrage; also petitions against permanent location of the supreme court at Des Moines; that no laws bo passed to discriminate against magnotic healors; for roformatory prisons for fallon women: for abulition of the independent school district system. Bills were introduced to pre vide for the addition of one com- pany o the lowa National guard: for re- lief of Dubuquo county in relation to the school 1and; requiring railroads to use bells and whisles at crossings: to pro- vide for additional hospital for the in- sane; to preveut injury and loss of lifo by employes of railroad companies and others; to amend the law in rolation to transportation of passengers on railroads. Bills wore passed to extend the close sea- son for killing prairie chickens to Sep- tember 1st; tnfi\‘gnl 7o the incorporation of the town of Belmond; to legalizo the incorporation of the town of Murray; to amend the law in relation to bonding county indebtedness, In the senate the entire day was con- sumed in the consderition of Donnan’s temperance bill. Clark proposed a sub stitute as follows: That no person shall manufacture for salo or keep for sale (or sell or keep for eale), as a beverage, alcohol, ale, wine, beer or any spirituous, vinous or malt liquors, or any liquors whatever that are intoxicating, and wherever the words intoxicating liquors occur in the code or statutes of the state the samo shall be construed to moan aleohol, ale, wine, beer and all spirituous, vinous or malt liquors and all liquors whatever that are intoxicating, and all penaltios, prohibi- tions and provisions of the law relating to the manufacture or sale or aeoping for salo or koeping with intent to sell of intoxicating liquors shall be held and construed to apply to the manufacture, salo or keeping for sulo of aleohol, ale, wine, beer, il spirituous, vinous and malt liquors and all liquors whatever that are intoxicating. Scction 2, That section 1555 of the code be and the same is hereby repealed, Opponents of the measure endeavored to have the substitute reforred to a com- mittee. Debate on commitment was participated in by Bills, Hall, Russell and Bloom in favor and Sutton, Clark, Eastman, Donan and Wilkin against. Failing in having ihe substitute com- mitted the opponents of the measuro adopted dilitory tactics and adjourned till to-morrow without reaching a vote. e ——— Fourteen Horses Burned to Death.
