CINCINN ATS MAD WEEK.
Never since Colonel Cincinnatus got

P0rkopolis, without remuneration, has
the Plaster Paris Of America, alias the
Queen City Of the West, been go agi-

Every diseBgaged mar, woman, child

be station to meet the youth who hsd
succeeded in capturing the hand, heart
and pocketbook Of the daughter of q
railroad maenate whose money is only
awaiting a box OF social matches to
start a British bonfire.
The Duke stepped on the platform
first, leaving Mr.. Zimmerman behiOd
10 tip the porter. Mr.. Manchester was
accompanied by two Cnristian-EDd av-
or-visaged hull pups, a leather hat box
a package of cigarettes and the Ouch
ess.
He was arrayed 10 Zimmerman
check suit, silk bat, pointed teD shoes,
40 eyeglsss and an exceedingly becom'
ing biood-puddiDg tie.
The regularity with which he hes
partaken OF his meals has done away
with the exhausted appearance he ois.

AS the party approached their Cal :
rage Mayor Fleiscnmann stepped for
ward and read the Declaration OF In-
dependence in Dutch. The Duke re-
piled in pure IRISH, which tickled the
ms mbers of the Dnckwor!h Club 10
death. He excused his personal ap-
pearance on the ground that be bad
forgotten to see his tailor before leaving
England. 1t had always been his am
olion to get into Cincinnati society,
be said. There was nothing like it in
England. He could thank God for that,
ne declared.
The Friendly Sons of st. Patrick then
sang "God Save the Queen" and the
Duke and Duchess were driven 10
Mount AuOurn IN pouring rain.
Snce the late lamented carnival Vine
street has been brilliantly Illuminated

lights, but the Duke thought all this
mad been done in his honor and bowed
his thanks to the Saturday evening
shoppers.
No one except Cincinnati newspaper
reporters was admitted TO the resi-
dence. which accounts for nothing be-
ing known about his Grace's move
ments until the following day. Sunday
morning got light about 7:lO. but the
Duke slept soundly until $50. When
ne got tnrough sleeping he woke up.
The newspapers got out a special au-
nouDcing this circumstance.

At 1880 the entire family went to
church to listen to blood curdling ser
mon on "Tne Life and Adventures OF
the Prodigal Son."
After the recessional reception was
neld on the church steps, and soon al
terward the bride and groom suto'
mobiled through Rat Row, Eden PARK,
Vine street and Clifton.
In the afternoon Mr.. Manchester at.
tended a sacred mstioeeI Iat an over'the'
RnlDe theatre to witness a performance
by Belle Billings's bloated British
hIondes. During the second act his
Grace went behind the scenes to con-
oratuIste Miss Billings on her artistic
performance, expressing the hope tnsI

Manchester is not bad fellow oY

come to America, he has yet to become
civilized. He is very proud Of the fact
