The Queen and all the royal family have a

fuse their autographs TO their friends, and tho
inscribe her name in the autograph book which
the Princess Beatrice gave TO her painting
teacher. The English royalties are most gra-
eious In acknowledging gifts, whoever the river
may be, and Princess Beatrice took thought
while on her wedding Journey TO send her
curtains which Prince Henry had given her for
her boudoir as, a wedding gift, incleslng, at tho

nance.

There Is I trouble In store for the Board OF Al
dermen. The milliners OF Boston have a griev-
snce. and they are saying things about the
boards theatre hat order. They say the order
has killed their business In theatre hats and
bonnets.
This condition OF affairs was brought about BY
the letter received by the board.
The manager OF one Of the most fashionable
millinery shops In town said:
Our business In theatre bats 10 fast disap-
pearinR. We are getting practically no orders
Tor hats and bOnnetB for the theatre. Usually al
this season we have had all we could do on this
class OF work.
I'VE do not expect to get any orders for opera
hats and bonnets this year. Last year we had a
rush of work just before the opera came. This
year tho people who last year searched the shops
FOR the prettiest dainty heAddreHses for tho
opera arc satisfied to wear their street hats to
the opera. for they must remove whatever they
wear, so IL may as we'll be a street hat as any
thing else.
This loss Of orders means a great deal to the
milliners of Boston. 1t seems to inc the order 10
arbitrary. II It related to street hats alone
We would not object. But we cannot see why a
woman should DO made to remove a small bon
not which does not obstruot tho view OF any
AnumbeE OF other milliners were of the Same
opinion. They say they know what they are
talking about, and they feel that tho order not
only Is doing them a serious Injury. but an uhr
warranted one ~ well.

John Reed, the negro murderer
was tried Thursday for the second
time, and was again convicted as
charged, which means death.
The hot weather we are hav-
ing is causing vegetation to sprout,
our lawns and praries are covered
with pretty green, fruit trees are
budding and some are already
putting forth their pretty flowers.
This is not to be looked upon favo-
rably because we may expect cold
er weather later on, a frost or q
freeze that will ruin the fruit
crop.
The election throughout this
parish Tuesday, was the quietest
affair ever held in st. Martin pa
IRISH in shape of election. The re-
gistration was very light, which
showed that the people did not
take any interest in the election,
and the light voting Tuesday con-
firms this fact.
The Board of Trade is again
hard at work completing the ar
rangement for the grandest Mardi
Gras celebration ever seen in a
country town. The efforts of the
committee will be to eclipse all
former celebrations, and with the
experience acquired in the last
five years, we are certain they
will accomplish their task with
the success they have in view. We
now ask all our people to join
hands, come together and make
grand solid effort all together to
make this celebration one that
would do credit to any city, le,
our people remain at home on that
day, and make the celebration OF
the town as attractive, entertain.
ing and as pleasing as possible, we
can if we only show little home
pride, and we know we will all dc
that, SO we can safely predict thai
the next carnival will be the great
esS celebration ever seen in st
Martinville.
