ABOUT MARDI GRAS.

1t is estimated that $4,000 visitors
were housed in New Orleans on Sun
day night before Mardi Gras. One
firm sold 400 cots in three days the
mattress makers wereovercrowded with
orders and it is an interesting fact that
several thousand night latch keys were
made by the local locksmiths. 1t
is estimated that 100000 loaves of
bread, $4,000 dozen eggs 5000 chickens,
10000 oysters and 100000 cups of coffee
were consumed. $50 extra street
cars were put into service.
The Carnival parades of New Orleans
date back to 1927, when some French
students, lately returned from Paris
organized street procession of mask
ers. Paris obtained her carnival from
the Eternal City and New Orleans de-
rived hers from Paris, SO its genealogy
reaches back into pagan times, when
the sacrifice of the Lupercalia formed
the great festival of Rome. The dis
tinctive Italian features are fast dis
appearing. Rex made his first appear
ance in 1872 for the entertainment of
the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, who
was in that year guest of the city,
since which time Mardi Gras has been
made legal holiday.

Reported Specially tsr The CITIZEN.


Mr.. j. j. Caylor, the enterprising
grocer at 9th and j. Streets n. E.,
calls our attention to the lack of pro-
lection from fire in his section. The
territory from II Street to Florida
Avenue and from 1st to 10th Street is
wholly unprotected, and most of it is
hedged in by B. & o. railroad tracks
on either side. There are only three
or four crossings over these tracks
that are at all accessible by fire engines
and the progress of an engine is liable
to be delayed by lowered gates at any
time, Owing to such delay two horses
we're burned to death few weeks ago
in the rear of Jas. Beans dwelling at
5th aud l. Streets. The matter should
be taken up at the next meeting of the
Citizens Association and pressed un-
til an engine is secured for the isolated
section.
Now that spring is nearly here it
would be a good idea to have Philip
Lederer, the dyer and scourer Of 1903
II ST., n. E., clean and press your old
spring suit and those lightweight
pants You'll need 'em soon.

lished grocer of Florida Ave-, says;
"Mr. ChappePs article is all right,
He's level-headed old gentleman"
Mr.. B. Ostmann, the butcher of 907
Delaware Ave, wants that thorough
fare improved at once. In wet weather
it is a perfect mud hole and people
have to go around it through / and
2nd or through X street. Twenty
years ago it was one of the main bust
ness streets but now its a dump for
all sorts of refuge and material. The
B. & o. seems to have pre-empted it
as far out as street. It is in such
bad condition that Mrs. Ostmann says
her friends are ashamed to come to see
her,
After reading Mr.. Chappels letter
on page 8, and commenting very favor
ably on it, Mr.. G, H. Mo1ley of 10Th
street said: 81 would sooner rent from

Mr.. b. T. Clements, the grocer at
9th and F streets, wants to know how
long Geo. N. Hollands low prices on
graniteware hold good. He says they
are much lower than department store
prices.
The report of the Commissioners on
Senate Bill 1929 TO eliminate grade
crossings on the B. & o. should meet
with the hearty support of the Citi-
zens' Association. The betterments
TO accrue from the proposed change
are estimated at l,465, 700, but it
would be worth that much to this sec

QUEER OCCURRENCE.
The Remarkable Alpine EEpsrlsaeo Os
Kings mes"snReH

Kings mes"snRoR
At a critical moment OF internation-
al complication which occurred good
many years ago it was found necessary
to send a kings messenger across one
of the Alpine passes charged with dis
patches the Importance of which was
so great that they practically involved
the issue OF peace or war. It was in
the depth of winter and in those days.
even under the most ordinary circum-
stances,a journey across Europe meant
no triling undertaking. The first part
Of the journey was safely accomplished
in postchaise as far as the foot of the
pass, where q transfer to a sleigh was
necessary. Here, on inquiring at the
posting inn for horses and sleigh, the
passenger found to his dismay that
none was to be had Impossible, mon
sieur, to go forward this night" To-
ward evening, however, private car
riage arrived, occupied by one traveller,
with sleigh, several spare horses and
plenty of servants-evidently the
equipage Of a parsonage of distinc-
tion. The traveller halted at the post
ing inn and after a short parley de-
termined to enter and have dinner, the
journey across the pass to be continued
at nightfall. when a clear moon might
be expected. Under these clrcumstan-
ces the kings messenger and the other
traveller naturally dined together and
entered into friendly conversation, with
the result that an offer of place in
the travellers sleigh was gladly ac-
cepted by the former. At nightfall the
journey across the pass was COM
menced, the messenger carrying in his
hand small dispatch bag containing
his dispatches. The route wound up
and up the mountain side, all being
soon covered deep in snow. The horses
seemed fresh and high mettled and
were urged at full speed by the driver
Suddenly at turn of the road, man
jumped out from a rock. The horses
seemed to shy, and in less time than it
takes to tell the sleigh was rolling
over and over in the snow, with its oc-
cupants tossed hither and thither.
Some moments elapsed before the half
stunned messenger came to his senses,
and when he did SO the first thing
which struck his astonished eyes was
the sleigh tearing back down the pass
at breakneck speed No human being
was to be seen beside him, his late
companion, and, worse still, his bag of
dispatches which had escaped from
his grasp in the tumble, having van
ished like magic Nothing remained
but to plod wearily through the snow
back to the inn, where all that he
could ascertain was that the strange
traveller was unknown to the landlord
and that he had returned by the way
he had come with his own horses, ex-
planning that there had been an acct
dent. Neither the mysterious tray-
eler nor the bag Of dispatches was ever
traced, nor has the full history of the
adventure ever come to light up to the
present day.-Quarterly Review.
