American Women and Royalty

During the tour through Canada I had
attributed the strange conduct of the ladies
to an excess of royalty. AS soon as the
Prince had left hotel they would rush into
his room, seize all sorts of articles, from a
furniture button to Il soiled towel, as souve-
Mrs, and even bottle up the water with which
he had Just washed his face" writes Stephen
Fiske in the January Ladies Home Journal
but in the United States the women were
equally curious and sycophantic. The lug
gage of the Royal party was carried in small
leather trunks-a trunk for every suit of
clothes-and whenever the train stopped the
crowds would beg that some OF these trunks
might be handed out, and women would fOn-
die and kiss them. l need not say that the
trainmen were never too particular as to
whose luggage was subjected to this adora
ton, and l have had the pleasure of seeing
my own portmanteau kissed by mistake.
Before the Prince arrived at Richmond his
room at the Ballard House was entered by
the ladies', and the pillowslips and white COW
erlet were so soiled by the pressure OF hun
dreds of finger that they had to be twice
changed by the chambermaids. When he at
tended church on Sunday the whole congre-
CATION rose as he departed and climbed upon
the seats to get better view Of him"

We laid our dear mother
In the cold and silent clay,
And now we drink the bitter cup.
Farewell, dear mother, farewell,
We miss thee in our home,
We miss thee from thy place.
We miss thee everywhere.
Oh! how sad and lonely.
Is our home without thee;
T'is God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
There is a vacant place
In our home that never can be filled
But tbs God that has called thee
To q brighter home above.
We would have kept thee With US,
But. Oh! that could not be,
For it was our Heavenly Fathers will
That we must part with thee.
Lord give US strength our loss to bear,
And lead us in thy way,
She can never come to us here,
But may we go to her some day.

A GREAT PUBLICATION.
"The Philadelphia Press" Al

"The Philadelphia Press" Almanac for
1897 is beyond question the most complete,
comprehensive and valuable almanac publ.
cation issued by any newspaper in Pennsyl-
vania, and is in all respects fully the equal
if not the absolute superior of the best publ.
cations of the country. 1t is in word,
worthy of the great newspaper whose name
it bears. Local features are included in 1t,
which have never appeared in any similar
publication. A complete list of the judges
and county officers of every county in the
State is among these 1t gives the official
vote in detail for Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland, and the vote by
divisions for Philadelphia and Camden. 1t
gives the most complete directory of the var
ious State governments ever printed, and in
its church directory for Philadelphia pre-
sents what never before has been attempted
figures showing the numerical strength in
membership, and in churches of all the de-
nominations In its general departments, it
presents mass of well edited, conclscly ex-
pressed information, covering every field OF
human activity, in so valuable manner that
no intelligent citizen who takes an interest
in his government and in society in general
can afford to be without copy of the work.
1t brings up to date as wide a range OF sub
iects as are covered by an encyclopaedia.
The book is handsomely printed and sub
stantially bound, consists of nearly 700 pages
and is sold by newsdealers for % cents, or
mailed to any address postage prepaid.

"Songs of Seven" piano solos, 2 vocal du-

In all eighty persons participated in these
entertainments, which covered thirteen out
of seventeen nights of the Fair The com
mittee desires especially to acknowledge
the valuable aid rendered by Messrs John
Baker and l.. r Waesche, and to thank all
who contributed to render their efforts a
success by loans of material and by their en-
couragement and assistance In many ways.
We desire to speak for our people in this
connection: it is recognized by all that these
entertainments largely made success possible.
During the four nights OF the Fair that no
entertainments were given, the attendance
was markedly small; just as soon as the en-
tertainments were announced the visitors
came; the ticket sales demonstrate this fact
beyond cavil.
