"Back ward, turn backward. Oh. Time, in thy flight: make me a child again lust for to night." Amid the glare of thousands of brilliant ly reflected lights and with settings of almost Oriental splendor, through mases ot costly nvwer and deeoration. that taxed th artistic mind, exhibitions and displays of which the most extravagant writer of modern ballets had never dreamed, were enacted at the much-talked -of and fondly anticipated "Baby Ball" and reception tendered by Mr. and Mrs.

James B. Hag-gin at their splendid Oraten Hill manaion to-night. It was an event that will be long re membered by Blue Grass swelldom for It lack of prudery and for Its conception. 8 tale) dames and damsels attired in the coatumery of childish simplicity mingled with the society lords and beaux, afford ing a display of their nether limbs while fairly r.vellnjr In the luxurious light. The characters were such as have been made famous by the periodical cartoonist and the business advertiser.

It was unique, en tertaining and luxurious. Th 'Twin' There. Tha name given to the affair refers only to the costumes worn and not to the in vited guests. The 'Hold Dust Twins." the "Yellow and "Uttle Lord Fauntleroy' were parodies In real earnest. Although th bail was given tn honor of Miss Isabel Cam eron, of 'New York, the conception came from Mia Clara Bll-tb millionaire heiress of this city, and Mrs.

Hag gin. Men and women alike were arrayed in female -co-tume, representative of the days of baby hood, with short dresses, short huse and sandals. Some of the gentlemen had been compelled to- apply the keen blade; of a raxor to the aurface of their lower, limbs In order to remove ail traces ot masculinity and to appear as feminine as possible. It was an assemblage of "girt" babies." guiding each other through the dlxxy lines of the waits and the fantastic, of the co tillon. One of the features of the evening was the "Florodora Sextette." composed ot Messrs.

Dyke. Haselrigg. Louis Casaell. Jouett Shouse. Dudley Short, R.

T. Gibson and Mertitt Lancaster. Upon the floor of the monster7 ballroom the "sextette" gave a song and dance from that famous extravagant to the delight of the assembled crowd. They were attired In short sklrti and the performance brought forth expressions of approbation 'from all aide. Th Cotillion.

Th cotillion was led by Mrs. James B. Haggin and Henry T. Duncan. of this city, similarly arrayed, while the liege lord of Elmendorff.

the multi-millionaire. owner of this splendid Blue Grass mansion. looked on from a distance. He entered Into the spirit of the affair with the relish of a child, and enjoyed the unique entertain ment provided. The favors, which were distributed among the guests, were imported from New York with great expense, and consisted of pic ture books, toys, rubber rings, with costly jewels, and trinkets dear to the heart of childhood.

The Idea of a "baby ball" was carried to every possible extreme, and the decorum maintained was guided only from a possible childish instinct. Among the most favored of those present was Miss Clara Bell, who was attired in a short white skirt, with red stockings and sandals. The conception being" almost al together her own she endeavored to play her part well, and encouraged the guest to do likewise. 'To provide for the accommodation of the Invited guests Mr. Haggin sent his private car to the city to convey them over the seven miles that Intervened between the city and his home.

But few of them accepted this mode of travel, as it gave too much publicity- to their coe and thy preferred the privacy of a carriage. Special Wx "Seeded. But eight persona accepted the convenience of the special car, and it might a weU have not been sent. To get a glimpse of those who were to attend the ball a large crowd had gathered in the vicinity of the starting place, but they were disappointed, as none but the eight mentioned presented themselves, The entire affair had been conducted with so much secrecy that all newspaper men were dented any information from authoritative sources and were not permitted on the grounds. Strategy alone enabled even the faintest idea of what was taking place within the wall of th mansion.

September 23. In the Dayton Public Library Museum on of the greatest curiositie which attracts mart visitors than any relic or helrlbora, no matter hew. highly prised, is the whetstone on which appeared in a moment's time, aa If by a miracle, well defined markings showing a picture of Raphael's face of Christ. After the whetstone was placed In a sealed box. removed from the touch of human hands.

It Is said that the lips turned a flesh color, while during the past week the habitues of the museum noted that th lips were parting, and that teeth were plainly noticeable. The stone was donated to the museum some time ago by W. H. Starry, of KtO South 'Main street, a real estate dealer, who. while sharpening his knife on Easter Day, 1900.

observed the strange phenomenon. He had been watching the antics of two negro youths In the alley adjacent to his house while sitting st a window Idly sharpening a knife. He had gased on the stone Intently for a long time, and Its surface was particularly white. While his eyes were fixed on the boys In the alley occurred the transformation, which startled him to such sn extent that he called In his neighbors. It was not long before many persons called to see the curiosity, and all sorts of predictions were made by the superstitious.

Starry decided to turn it over to the museum, and he appeared before a notary to make oath that he in no manner traced th physiognomy. A PLEBE Is Ber ultl Millionaire Bmband Aecordin?

Atlanta. Ga. September 23. In a leading editorial In this afternoon's News, John Temple Graves advocates lynching and also a revival of Ku-KJuxism in order to terrorise the negroes. Graves says In part: "The white men of this Southern country will protect their women from the unspeakable lust of unspeakable brute, and neither law nor statues nor public opinion nor armed forces nor Federal Courts nor any other Court will prevent the stern expression of the popular horror and outrage toward most infernal of all human There ia no need to try to scar the people of this Southern country with the threat of the Federal Court.

If the Federal Court Invade, the state's authority and takes charge of these cases, there yet remain th memory and the renaissance of the Ka-Klux Klaa which was perhaps, after all. the most effective agency that this Southern country has ever) known against the crime and lawlessness that fol lowed 'period of war.
