PATRIOTIC AND ELOQUENT. Rev. Dr. Gilbert's Memorial Day Ex

Rev pr. Gilberts Memorial Day Ex-
 ercises at Trinity M. E. Church. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: Permit me, an old veteran of the war, to say word regarding Memorial service" at Trinity M. E. church Sum- day morning. Although Foote post was not present in body there were sev- eral old veterans in the congrega ton which was very large one. The plat form was handsomely draped with flags and a liberal display of flowers lay on the communion table. Inside the altar rail were two stacks of muskets decked with small flags. The company of the Boys Brigade connected with the church was present in uniform and occupied front seats.
 The discourse was one of the best of its kind I ever listened to and no re- port that I could make of it would do 1t justice. It was patriotism in the full sense of that term and a finished and very able and eloquent effort.

 A prospective mother cannot begin too early to look after her own health and phys ical condition. This is sure to be reflected in the baby. Any weakness or nervous de- pression, or lack of vigor on the mothers part should be overcome early during the expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription which promotes the perfect health and strength of the organism specially concerned in motherhood
 It makes the coming of baby absolutely safe and comparatively free from pain; rem ders the mother strong and cheerful, and transmits healthy constitutional vigor to the child.
 No other medicine in the world has been such an unqualified blessing to mothers and their children. It is the one positive spe- ciic for all weak and diseased conditions of the feminine organism. It is the only medicine of its kind devised for this one purpose by a trained and educated special ist in this particular field.
 Mrs. F. B. Cauuings, of No. 4s2o Humphrey St, St. Louis, Mo, writes: 'I am now happy mother of a fine, healthy baby girl. Feel that your Favorite Prescription and little Pellets have done me more good than anything have ever taken. Three months previous to my con fineTnent began using your medicine.

From the center hung a series of i'm
mense Japanese umbrellas, each one
smaller than the one above, with cir
Gle of brilliant electric lights around the
edge of each one. Lanterns were hung
in groups of threes, from the pillars.
Umbrellas spread a vivid color on pill
lars, in corners and at intervals in the
gallery Electric lights glittered in
thousand directions.
The stage presented charming pic
ture. over the proscenium arch fell long
red streamers; lanterns fringed the en-
tire front; fancifully decorated umbrel-
las formed a fantastic background and,
the glinting Of the Fiesta tri-color in all
directions gave a prismatic glow and
beauty to the setting around the seat Of
royalty.
The throne itself was under brilliant
canopy of scarlet satin, lined with old
gold. The stage was carpeted with
scarlet and the three steps that led up
to the throne were lined with profu-
sion of brilliant blossoming plants. The
whole decoration had been designed by
Mrs. Annie Bancroft, who has for three
Fiestas had charge of the ballroom, and
has evolved most exquisite and artistic
effects.
The queens chair of carved ebony.
with velvet, was placed under the scar
let canopy.

and the multitude on the floor of the
ball room occupied every point of want

two trumpeters, stationed in front of the
throne, answered back, and there was a

which the royal cortege would pass.

Each man brought his lance to rest
and stood rigid. For a moment there was
silence, and then as the doors were
thrown open, the trumpeters blew
blast which was re-echoed back from
the inside, and with slow and measured
steps the august procession entered the
ballroom. First came the following gen.
tlemen of the committee: II. f. FleiSch-
man, Felix Arnold, W. r. Dinmore, Il. p.
Sullivan, Shirley Vance Martin, Charles
S. Walton and Callaghan Byrne. With
the exception of the last two, who were
costumed as Chinese mandarins, the
gentlemen wore costumes of the period
of Louis XIV.

the sword with which the royal acc1iade
was given later, and the other Drank

which reposed the decorations to be con-

stepped slowly and with great grace to-
ward the throne, her train being borne
by two pages. Standing there, she first
received homage from the prime min
lister, who bent the knee, then took his
stand to the left of the chair of state.
The ladies and gentlemen of the court
saluted her majesty in passing and
grouped themselves to the right and left
Of the throne.

commenting upon this the Journal des
Debats expressed itself thus curiously:
THE revolutionary tyrants had for
bidden masks; they had reserved for
themselves the exclusive privilege of
giving to astonished Europe the spec
tacle of an informal masquerade, unique
of it's kind, which will never again be
seen. For hangmen aped legislators;
assassins, magistrates; brigands were
disguised as judges; criminals as philos-
ophers; devils as men. But the scene
has changed. The monsters of hell have

But the masked ball languished, and
when at the restoration great costume
ball of "Enfants of France" where the
entire court appeared, was given it did
no more than galvanize into temporary

buckles. The long pointed bodice was cut
square, with a front of white chiffon,
studded with diamonds and pearls. A
high Medici collar of gold lace, a magnifi-
cent girdle of golden filigree, studded
with emeralds and rubies, and jeweled
slippers were beautiful adjuncts to the
costume of her majesty, while the mag
nificent crown and the diamond neck
lace gave the finishing touches Of roy
atty to the beautiful picture that her
majesty presented.
Two little pages, costumed in white
satin and silver, bore the train of her
majesty With a sweet face, hav-
ing on 1t just the faintest touch Of
sadness--not an uncommon popularity
of her race-and most glorious
eyes. the picture as her majesty stood
bowling before the vast throng OF her
subjects, was reminiscent of the quaint
old verse written of another queen:
"IIer yvore forhead full of bountie brave,
Like broad table itselfe dispred,
For love his loftie triumphes to engrave.
And write the fattalles OF his great goo
head,
For there their dwelling was. And when
she spake,
Sweet wordes, like dropping honey she
did shed;
And 'twixt the perles and rubius softly
brake
A silver sound, that heavenly musicke
seemed to make.
"Upon her eyelids many graces safe,
Under the shadows of her even browes,
Working belgrades and amorour retrate;
And everie one her with grace endowes
And everie one with meekenesse to her
bowes:
So glorious mirrhour of celestial grace,
And soveraire monument of MORTAL
