Cabe-Special to the BEE celebrated
Thanksgiving day by exchanging London's
yellow fog for Windsor's bright sunlight.
Thanksgiving pervaded the royal family over
the birth of the thirtieth grandchild of the
queen. Windsor is loyal place. "The queen
does reign" is a universal proverb. The
royal standard has waveret over five fresh
cradles for the progeny of the prince of
Wales. six for the crown princess of Germany,
five for the Princess Alice, two for the
duchess of Albany, five tor the duke of Edin-
burgh, -four for the Princess Christian, two
for the duke of Connaught and now one for
the Princess Beatrice. But it never yet
waved for the Princess Louise.
CONTRARY OPINIONS.
| found great differences in the feeling
here and around the East End station, where
! took the train. Said the porter at the lat
ter:
Another German prince, ELI, to increase
our taXes?"
This appears to be the universal feeling
among the masses. st. Giles and st. James
disagree as to the new birthmark on the eX-
chequer bag.
Yes he's bonnie prince, l hear" said
Scotch sentinel at the outer gate of the nur-
sery Gossip had already permeated the at
mosphere of the grounds and the village. l
was told how the mo ther had only just re-
turned from drive in time for her accouche-
ment: how the queen temporarily transferred
her vigis from Frogmoor to the cradle, as
if finding her best consolation in domestic
event that daily consoles hundreds of thou
sands of families in the civilized world; how
the boy weighed well for his size, taking
after his father A seehy looking apothe-
cary, fit to appear in Romeo and Juliet"
yentured to joke about the baby Immediately
dancing German in his sumptuous blanket,
embroidered with the royal arms of his
mother. Every gossip had the name liked,
but no two agreed as to where the Henry

TIE BABY's ROYAL RECEPTION.
/ was told how salvo of artillery had
| shaken the trees and the dying leaves when
| unexpectedly fired in the long walk of Wind
| sor park, and how the joy bells from St.
| Georges chapel and ST. Johns church had
seemed to take on a lullaby sound; how a
mayor, with the name of Simpson, instantly
came to pledge his loyal wishes; how an
| euuerry, with the ominous name of
Bigge, guarded the door of the cham
| bers in Augusta tower, directly ad-
were the happy father and, at the princess
request, cabinet ministers, Lord Randolph
| Churchill and Niscount Cross, another
| ominous name. Under pressure Of legal and
royal etiquette the queen anXiously waited in
| her own privacy. Groups of yOkelS and
rosy-cheeked maidens were found reading
bulletins posted at the castle entrance, where
figured the popular name of ''Willam Jen-
ner, NJ. d."
NOT KINDLY RECEIVED.
| Outside of royalty, Windsor, however,
under the pressure of labor and socialistic
topics and feeling, this Battenburg- Guelph
event was little reJoiced at. The Tory Stand
ard, ever voicing the general sentiment, when
commenting on it, said: 'rhe grandchil-
| dren of the queen, if numerous enough,
might conceivably find it wise to betake them
| selves to some occupation more practical than
that of participating in princely or merely
| ceremonial duties, and as they accommodate
themselves to the present condition of things
| the feeling of the nation for them would fall
| into harmony with the new situation"
