Oh gone mad. I do believe. Eleven hundred i've

me one OF the latter along with two or three more
Of the stan.
Our cab was about No. 1882 in the string that
worked its slow way through London and past the
theatre. The Shah was not to come till nine
O'Clock and yet we had to be ut the theatre by nalf
past SIX. or we would not get into the glass house
at all, they said. We were there on time, and
seated IN a small gallery which overlooked very
brilliantly dressed throng OF people. Every
seat was occupied. We sat there two
hours and half gazing and melting. The wide
red-carpeted central aisle below offered good dis
play ground Tor ofcials In fine uniforms, and they
made good use ofit.
ROYALTY ARRIVES.

Prince Arthur came. In blue uniform, with

Tnen came the Duke OF Teck and the Princess
Mary, and the band God-save-the- -Queen'd them
also. Now came the Prince OF Wales and the Rus

extra blast at the end OF II. After them came q

The small space below Us was iull now-it could
Accommodate no more royalty. The august pro-
cesion flied down the aisle IN double rank, the
cheers broke forth and waving OF handkerchiefs
as the Princess psssed--an SAID this demonstra-
tion was meant for her. Az the procession disap-

again.
NATION DEMENTKD.
We are certainly gone mad. We scarcely look
at the young Colossus who s to reign over
20, 900 OF people and the mightiest empire in
extent which exists to-day. We have no eyes but
deserts and modest ten million OF ragamufins-

gratitude or excite our admiration except that ne
managed to starve million OF hts subjects to death
In twelve months. II he had starved the rest

The London theatres are almost absolutely
empty these nights. Nobody goes hardly. The
managers are being ruined. The streets lor miles
are crammed with people waiting whole long hours
