and allies.
The Presbyterian ladies who have charge OF
the shin have for sale number Of photo
graphs, among them very good hkenesses OF
the Presbyterian ministers Of the city, DIS
Hoge. Kerr. Fair, Jameson, Campbell and
Little, and alongside of them portraits OF the

Frederick ii and William II.
The one named last is the very image Of his
grandfather in all the ardent traits of char
acter.
His first thought is the military and he IS al
WAYS planning for its improvement.
From early childhood up he has manifested
the greatest interest IN everything concerning
the army. ,...,-
In this connection the mentioning of little
incident from his early life might perhaps not
be without interest
William was boy about three or four years
old. when at one time he WAS reported to ms
father for crying while be was being washed.
His father who was the Crown Prince,
talked 10 the little fellow and endeayOred 70
convince the boy that IT was unmanly TO cry.
William did not heed the lecture, and con-
tinued to indulge in his crying spells when
ever he had 10 undergo the cleansing process
Several days passed by and the crown
Prince did not even seem 10 pay any attention
10 Williams behavior.
One bright morning, when the little fellow
was taken out 10 his usual morning drive
through the Thiergarten, he noticed that the
guard did not turn out for him. a. Is the order,
whenever a member OF the royal family comes
IN sight
his return he insisted on being taken before
his father.
There he related his experience, but the
father. who could hardly refrain from smiling,
told him that the guard had not done any
thing wrong. for no soldier should salute any
one who was afraid Of water. The remedy
was effective. for William never cried after

THE CoESFLowEB LEGEND.
10 seems that the publication of the legend
about the cornlower in last Tuesdays TINES
has created quite an interest among the vlsl-
tors Of the CARNIVAL, for Mrs. James Epps, who
is in charge of the Presbyterian ship, told the
representative of THE TIMES the other day,
that frequently ladies came to her and asked
her 10 show them the cornfower.
Mrs Epps feels very proud in her vessel, on
the designing of which she has worked very
hard. Some very valuable assistance has been
rendered her by Mr.. Manfred Call, who is re-
sponsible for the rigging of the brig. which IS
actually the most perfect one of the seven
ships.
About two weeks ago the lady had written
10 the German Empress. telling her about the
proposed Carnival aud It's object, and request
ing her TO make a donation, no matter how
small
Mrs. Epps is in hopes TO receive an answer
next week and is confident that the Empress
will grant her request.
The German ladies of this city have greatly
assisted in the noble work by liberal Contri-
buttons of money and fancy articles and by
their presence on the several nights.
Those who deserve special credit for their
assistance are Messrs. William Rehling and
the Misses Wendlenburg.
Among the other Presbyterian ladies whose
names have not yet been mentioned, are Miss
Mary Camp, Mrs. Ceta Scott, Miss Annie
Adams, Mrs Van Deventer. Mrs Johnston,
Mrs. Willie Donnan. about a year ago, got
up book on cooking on behalf of the Presby-
terrain ladies.
The book was sold at the bazaar for the
Young Mems Christian Association last
winter. hut when the sale had reached three
thousand the book was withdrawn.
IL is now again for sale at the Carnival. and
the ladies expect TO realize a nice amount Of
money from the book. Each copy costs only
twenty-five cents.

The crowd that visited the CARNIVAL on
Friday night was larger than on any previous
night. From $50 until 10 O'Clock not single
person could gain admission TO the building.
The heat inside was great. and several ladies
and children tainted. but were revived within
few minutes.
Quite number of boys, who could not OBJ
tain admittance. made use of the timber in
the yard and climbed up 20 the window TO get
glance AT the minuet, which was then in
progress on the stage.
Al at once some Of the mischievous bows
started the cry Of fire, which, however, was
not heard on the inside, otherwise a panic
would have been unavoidable.
