one to please the Parisians. The mon
praised him, and the women, attracted
by the romance of his early life among
the Indians and BY his manliness and
modesty, showered him with attentions.
Pictures representing him IN hunting
costumes were sold everywhere, and
while he remained In Paris he was all
the rage
In Germany hehas been received with
even greater favor. Honors have been
heaped upon him on all sides, royalty
itself coming forward to do homage to
his skill. After DR.. Carver had won all
! the leading prizes in several contests,
and had given exhibitions of rifle shoot
! ing on foot and horseback, and had
shown his skill with the lasso, the En-.
| perOr William asked him TO give an
exhibition before the court. He did so
on Sunday, June 13. The Imperial
family and many of the nobility were
| present. The programmes were printed
on white satin foot long and six inches
| wide.
The Emperor was delighted with the
Doctors display of skill, and eagerly
watched each shot. On the next day
an Adjutant bore to the marksman an
elegant diamond ring. 1t was in
scribed "From His Majesty the En-.
peror of Germanyto DIR. VIM. F. Carver,
June 10, $780,"
Within few days the Crown Prince
sent DIR. Carver word that the Crown
Princess desired to see another exhibit
ton of his skill on horseback. The
Prince added that she had been very
melancholy of late, and that the shoot.
ing seemed to arouse her. He hoped
that DR.. Carver would oblge him. The
| Doctor took the train for Potsdam yes.
| terday. The royal carriage was waiting
| for him at the depot. Servants took
charge of his guns and his horse Null
doom, a gift from the Prince of Wales.
| The exhibition was given on a grassy
lawn. A dozen chairs were brought ont
for the Crown Princess and attending
ladies, and the Crown Prince and gem
! tlemen took positions behind them
| The Crown Princess is a short, fat
woman, about forty years old. She has
q round, red face, and nice, white teeth.
| She wore a black-and-gray plaid cam
brio suit, black chip bonnet, and dark
| gloves. She was very pleasant, and
| freely conversed with DIR. Carver. The
Doctors wife accompanied him. She is
a sister of Lawyer Hugh Daley, of New
Haven. Their courtship was romantic.
Mrs. Carver's brother, John Daley,
was a San Francisco stock broker
! When DR.. Carver left the plains and be.
gan to give exhibitions of his marvellous
skill, he went to San Francisco. John
Daley befriended him. Daley was af-
terward shot and killed by a street
loafer. His body was taken to New
Haven and placed in the family burial
plot. When DIR. Carver came East, a
year or two later, he went to New
Haven to procure Winchester rifles for
fancy shooting. He visited the grave Of
his friend, John Daley. AS he ap-
preached it he saw young lady plant
ing flowers on the grave. She was the
sister of his friend. They entered into
conversation, and, before he had discOv-
cred her relationship to his dead friend,
! he had fallen in love with her. They
were married within year, and she ac-
companied him to Europe.
While shooting before the Crown Prin-
| cess the Doctor wore short velvet
! Jacket A wide-brimmed white SOM
brero shaded his eyes from the sun.
His wife wore a similar jacket and hat.
The hat was adorned with long plume.
White satin programmes were used.
The exhibition included shooting with
rifle and shotgun at flying and stationary
objects on foot and on horseback, shoot
ing with the bow and arrow, and throw
| ing the lasso. 1t was very interesting
and exciting. The Crown Prince pre-
sented DIR. Carver with a valuable scarf
pin. 1t bore the monogram of Fred
erick and Victoria surmounted with a
crown. 1t was of rich, yellow gold, set
with diamonds and rubies. The visitors
broakfasted in the sitting-room of Fred
erick the Great.
The people here are amazed at the
Doctors skill with the rifle, and the un-
usual attentions that he received from
royalty has added to his prestige.
