There are Bohemian glass-blowers. 1t is
interesting to watch them TO build glass
ships and to make other articles out of a
material SO brittle as the goblet which the
hired girl is always breaking.
Next to The Bohemian glass blowers, in
pomp and mystery, is the paper king. His
royal highness stands in an alcove of orna-
mental paper work. He holds the crowd
by promising to roll up the paper curtain
at the back of the alcove and show a paint

bosom reposes a diamond cluster as big as

wears a mortar-board cap like the girls at

title, Paper King" He wears a swallow
tail coat and an immense watch chain that
is louder than his voice.

The people of Washington have never
before had such chance to see candy made
right before their eyes and to obtain the
recipes therefor right from the candy
makers themselves. while the candy
making contests on the stage prove to be
great features with the public. as attested
by the careful attention and pa atient wait
ing manifese1 until the winner of each
contest is announced.
Another feature is the presentation to
each lady and child purchasing ticket of
admission between the hours of and Is

is amusing TO see the ladies moving about
the hall to the places where samples are
given out. The most seductive sweets and
the most tempting samples beset their way.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Sir: desire to state, through The Star,
the dissenting public opinion on the part of
colCred citizens in the District of Columbia
as to the emancipation celebration on the
10th day of April. Experience has taught
us that the present way of conducting the
emancipation celebration is of no benefit
We wish to protest against parading on
the street as a waste of money and effort
and of no value in elevating the race
Those who manage these affairs for their
own benefit are not the representatives we
desire: therefore l, with the best
wishes, l believe, of the respected
colored citizens of Washington, do
protest against any such celebration,
and especially so when men chosen
as orators are not in sympathy with the
race. 1t is far better that we celebrate the
day devising ways and means by which we
can make some donation or con tributiou to
some deserving Institution.
