her neck and a long row of orders
across her bodice. As she entered the
royal box the audience rose and the
band played the national anthem. The
rest OF the party then filed into the box,
eSch preceded by the Earl of Latham
walking backward. Among them were
all the visiting princes and all the
members OF the English royal family
except the queen. Empress Frederick
OF Germany, and Princess Beatrice.
National Anthem Magnihcently Rendered.
AS soon as they were seated the
curtain rose, disclosing the entire cast
of the opera. among them Madame
Melba and the De Reszkes, grouped
upon the stage. Then followed such a
rendering of the national anthem as it
never had before. after which was car
ried out Grau's carefully arranged pro-
gramme. including the second act Of
''Taunhauser," the third act of Golnod' s
Romeo and Juliet" and the fourth act
Of the 'Huguenots." The efforts of the
singers and the orchestra were received
with the greatest enthusiasm, and the
performance surpassed in every way the
famous gala performance given at Cow
ent garden for the Emceror Of Ger
many.
Scene Of Great LONELINESS.
The scene was enc of incompara-
ble loneliness. The whole interior of
the structure was hidden by freshly cut
flowers, principally roses. The upper
tier OF boxes was a mass of Marechal
Nell roses, the next tier mass of pink
roses, and the bottom tier of rich dark
red roses. White flowers adorned the
royal box, which was surmounted by
an enormous floral crown Of crimson
roses and golden orchids. The box was
decorated in the Louis XVI style, the
chairs and settees being covered with
white and yellow silk The same ma
terial, fluted and patterned into lia-
monds, formed the ceiling.
Like the Lilies of the Field.
The box was a beautiful picture. The
Prince of Wales wore the red uniform
of a field marshal and among ali the
other princes there were TO two uni
forms alike. The royal group seemed a
collection of glittering orders and beau
tiful gowns. The Princess of Naples
wore some wonderful diamonds. and
Grand Duchess Sergius displayed the
largest emerald in the world. IT was
noticeable. however, that the royals
Were less lavish in jewelry than many
ladies in the other boxes, who We're fair
ly plastered with gems. The audience
included all the leaders Of official and
social England and all of the ambas-
rHs. Ambassador, Hayysevith Miss

A PoLICEMAN,s EXPERIENCE.
What Does Not Happen So Often as
Would Be Desirable.

. me wind was blowing a gale, bringing on
lts invisible wings a sky full Of sharp snow
sprlnkles, which beat on the windows and
ratified through the leafess trees as If the
hunters Of the night were shooting the air
full Of bird shot, while in a cozy corner sat
a retired police officer, who listened at the
crackhng elements outside and shivered to
himself just to emphasize the fact that he
didn't have to go out into that sort of thing
any more forever.
III remember" he said to a Washington
night as this when / had the most powerful
argument l ever heard, exemplifying the
truth OF the maxim: Too many cooks spoil

Though and as | pulled along the rough street
IN the suburban ward, where my duties led
me when | first came the force / felt
that polceman's lot was not a happy one,
though at that time that very truthful little
poem hadn't been thought of, though all Of
us knew the facts very we'll At the country
end of the street the houses were far apart
and the last one was big one and was occu-
pied by rich family
Il had been expecting that some night it
would be radded by burglars who know a
good thing when somebody tells them about
1t, and l was pretty sure they knew Of the
fine things in that lonesome house which
were portable and negotiable Indeed. all of
u.s. burglars and police, knew about it, and
my instructions were to be extra careful on
dark and ugly nights. For the same l also
received S. a month from the owner. But
nothing on earth can head off a burglar when
once he gets sou on DONG q 1nlng, ana so
on this night was not greatly surprised in
approaching the house to hear a pistol shot
and cry of alarm.
Il hurried to the place and at the upper
window l saw the head Of the owner of the
house and he called to me to hurry around
to the back window, as his son had shot a
burglar there. I went. and at the foot of the
ladder I found the body Of man. The son
was at the top Of the ladder and said he had
shot him he went down. l turned him
over and found that he was still alive with
a bullet-hole through his chest. Death came
soon, though not before he told US he had
killed some one in the house.
"This created a panic, and the members
of the family left the burglars side and
rushed into the house, for they thought it
might be some Of their own household. But
it not, for the man whom they found
with knife wounds all over his chest and
neck was evidently another burglar, and the
two had net unexpectedly, and the one had
been killed by the other without knowing
who his victim We supposed this to be
the case as a violent struggle had taken
place, which had awakened the son, who
killed the burglar who was trying to escape
after he had as he supposed, killed one oil

toned up his great coat to keep out the
winds and SHOWS he was compelled to mingle
with on terms Of closer intimacy than he
liked, and the policeman shivered again.
