LETTER FROM THE EMPRESS
or Germany in Regard to the CARNIVAL de l.
Mer.

Shortly before the opening Of the Carnival
de la Mer, Mrs Captain J. w. Epps, who was
in charge of the German ship, which had been
selected by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church, wrote 10 the German Empress and
requested her, 10 kindly send her contribu-
ton, no matter how small.
Mrs. Epps fully explained the object Of the
CARNIVAL, and the ladies associated with her
were very anxious 10 learn what success Mrs.
Epps' request would have.
Yesterday morning the lOng-looked for re-
ply was received by Mrs. Epps
IL was an ordinary, common, everyday
white envelope about six inches square, and
the only mark on its outside TO show that 1t
had been sent from the Berlin Court was the
crest Of arms of the Hohenzollern family on
the back of the envelope.
Full of expectation Mr.. Epps opened the
envelope at one end, using the greatest care
not TO mutilate the contents
There was some slight disappointment. for
when the mystery was unravelled II was found
that nothing but double-sheeted letter had
been sent. 1t was written, of course, III Ger
man
The letter which was shown TO reporter of
The lines last evening reads in its translation
"a follows:
CABINET OF HER MAJEsTY0
THE EMPRESS AND QUEEN.
BERLIN, April IL. 1891. J
Her Majesty, the Empress and Queen, regret
TO be unable 10 comply with the request express
ed IN your letter; the very great number of 70
quests OF that nature forbds the granting of all
OF them. FRED Won DER RICK,
Councillor of the Cabinet.
Mrs. Epps certainly was sadly disappointed
when she explained the whole matter to rep
rcsentative of THE TINES last evening
Had the Empress of Germany had the least
idea of the hard work which the ladies of the
Presbyterian ship took upon themselves to
gather all the German symbols and reminis-
cences which they had on exhibition during
the Carnival she probably would have acted
differently.
The smallest gift would have been highly
appreciated 10y the Presbyterian ladies. anCpit
would, no doubt, have brought handsome
sum into the treasury Of the CARNIVAL.
