A BEAUTIFUL NEW STORE.
L. S. Ayres q Co. Opened Their New
Dry Goods Emporium.

l.. S. Ayres & Co opened their remodeled
building TO the public yesterday and in the
scmest dry goods emporiums in the West.
From the vestibule, which is tiled in white
and colors, and the heavy plate glass front,
to the top of the building, the hand of re-
neWal is seen. The aiSleS are broader, and
in place of the heavy wood counters are
glass cases, which serve as counters and at
the same time give room for the display of
all materials of the department. These
beveled glass cases are illuminated with
electricity. The ribbons, trimmings laces
toilet goods, even the corsets, have the
same advantage in position. On the second
aoor are tall cases for the millinery with
glass fronts and electric lights All of the
cases are mahogany. and the four-sided
tables with mirrors, where four persons
may sit at the same time and comfortably
try on hats are handsome in the extreme
There is a large mahogany room. with no
window, Illuminated either with gas or cleo
tricity, where any one selecting an evening
gown or a trimming may see its color by
either light.
The first store in the city to use the pneu-
matte tube cash and message carriers is
this store, and each department has the
large brass tube connecting it with the
cashiers desk. The air necessary to carry
the cartridges, in which the cash or mes
sage is placed is forced from a huge engine
in the basement. Each cartridge is num-
bered and lettered. the number belonging
to the tube and the letter to the depart
wrapped IL each department.

THE PRINCE A PRISONER.
Charles of Denmark and HIS Bride
Both Restrained by the King.
New York Herald.

Wedding bells so lately rang out joyously
for the marriage Of Princess Maud OF
Wales and her cousin, Prince Charles OF
Denmark, that it would be superhuous TO
tell of the wedding again Every one knows
that the marriage was u love match ana
that young Prince Charles was devotedly
attached to his English cousin and had long
desired to make her his wife. But the am
bition of the old King of Denmark was
turned in the direction of the young Queen
of Holland, and he was DESTROYS of seeing
the young prince her companion on the
Dutch throne. In this case love overcame
Charles was married to the youngest of the
Prince of Wales's daughters.
When the young couple reached Denmark
from the King, and she was distinctly made
to feel that she was not welcome IN the
royal family. The old King could not for
give her for having baked his hopes for
Prince Charles.
Princess Maud's young husband naturally
resented this unkind treatment and to
crafty her longing to return to her native
land he petitioned Queen Victoria to OBJ
tain for him commission in the English
The Queen, when the particulars of the
affair were presented to her, willingly
granted her new grandson's request. The
Commission was taken out and Prince
Charles was sent for to come to England,
where q warmer welcome was promised
him than had been given his bride, but
just here an insurmountable obstacle pre-
scented itself.
The King of Denmark, upon learning
what the young prince had had the pre-
sumption to do without first consulting his
wishes, peremptorily forbade the transfer,
and the Danish law upheld him in his de-
ciSion An officer holding a commission in
the Danish army must serve out his term
unless released by the King, and this re-
lease was precisely what the young prince
could not obtain.
/ 1t is almost impossible for an American
to realize the position in which Princess
Maud and her husband find themselves.
Maud of Wales and Charles of Denmark
are prisoners in their palace in Denmark,
and all by order of the King.
Whether the Queen the Prince of
Wales will take cognizance of this condi-
ton of affairs and act on it has not de-
veloped yet. The matter has been kept
very quiet, but such things will always

During the progress of the Holmes trial
in Philadelphia a few years ago, when the
story of the arch-murderer' many crimes
was being unfolded day by day. there APP
peared in the courtroom a tall, well-dressed
young woman, whose beauty was but partly
concealed by the heavy veil she wore. A.
court officer obsequiously conducted her to
a seat within the rail- where she watched
the proceedings with apparent interest. No
one seemed to know who she was The
army of reporters, alert to notice and dilate
upon any feature of the trial. attracted by
the young woman's distinguished appear
ance and piqued by the apparent air of nys-
terry surrounding her, set themselves to
work to discover her identity. One more
adept at guessing than the others, set afloat
the report that she was Georgianna Yoke,
one of the many women victims of Holmes.
whose name had been linked with his since
the trial began. Instantly newspaper ar
lists were busily sketching the young vom-
an visitor from every point of view, and
dozen reporters were writing pen descrip-
tons of her
The next day sketches labelled Georgian
ma Yoke appeared in, the Philadelphia pa
pers. The artists had succeeded in getting
a good likeness of the young woman, de-
spite the veil she wore So it was that the
friends and acquaintance of a beautiful
young society woman of Philadelphia were
amazed and Mortified when they picked up
their papers at breakfast one morning to
find her portrait in double column cuts
with the legend below: ~Georgianna Yoke,
the woman who says she loves Holmes
still"
The mysterious young woman spectator
was the daughter of the presiding Judge.
1t did not take the reporters long to ois-
cover the mistake they had made, but for
reasons that may be understood they never
corrected it, and tho young woman who had
unwttingly posed for the portrait of Geor-
glanna Yoke attended the trial no more
This is one illustration of the perils that
beset women who attend sensational trials
1t is safe to say that il the young woman
mentioned had had the slightest idea that
she would be pictured in the public prints

would have hesitated long time before ap-
pearing in the courtroom.
In reading the reports of every famous
murder trial one frequently comes across
such sentences as these: Among the crowd
which clamored for admission were many
women; women fought with one another

most interested spectators were Il dozen

on the part of the public to which pulpit
sensationalists and political preachers are
consigning it. Let the pulpit do its duty in
elevating the standard demand for news be-

that in meeting the public's demands it is
able so skillfully and thoroughly to elm
