Omaha day at the carnival.
Attendance at Kings Highway.

Now, it came to pass that on the night
when the king and queen were crowned
the mighty Coliseum would not hold all the
people who had assembled to do homage to
their sovereign. and thus many thousands
were not permitted the sight OF the corona
ton ceremonies. Yet made they as merry
as the birds OF spring. On the Kings High
way they congregated by thousands, man
and boy. matron and maid, and walked it's
decorated aisles under brightest lights
And of one accord they shouted. Long
Live King Ak-Sar-Ben XII! Long Live the
King! May he wax fat and his days be
long in the land for each autumn he gives
us these joyous days"
Thereupon they hoped and skipped upon
the ground like lambs upon the green, and
the boys filled the mouths of the maids
with confetti. Men with gray temples
frisked about as goats, and old women
squeaked the tin can with the rosined
string. For why not? We're not the people
mad with Joy. so that their sportive capers
might be excused? In yonder Coliseum. mid
blazing lights and flowers and beautiful
ladies and brave knights did not the scion
OF the house of Ak-Sar-Ben receive his
crown and his queen this night?
Some sat them down upon the benches
beside the way and discoursed OF past
rulers ana present, They talked about the
plenty which the soil had poured forth
upon the people and OF all the riches of the
kingdom. Quivera is the mightiest country
on the face Of the earth, said they.
Others enjoyed the amusement which the
king had provided for them. They saw

Union Pacific DepOts.
Work was started Friday on the Union
Pacific freight depot to be erected on Rail-
road avenue just south of N street. The
city track only recently laid, is being
torn up for distance of 200 feet and ex-
cavating is to commence next week. This
freight depot is to be of brick, 135 feet in
length and thirty-eight feet in width. A
basement ten feet deep is to extend under
the entire building. One heating plant is
to supply heat for both the freight and pas
senger depots. This heating plant will be
located in the north end of the freight
depot, and underground pipes will carry
the steam to the passenger station. A start
has not been made on the passenger sta
ton yet, but excavating for this building
will commence as soon as the work on
the basement Of the freight depot is COM
pleted.

Mr.. MantelTs Hamlet OF which Omaha
got its first taste last night. varies greatly
from the traditional Hamlet. 1t is the di-
rect result of study and careful reflection
on part of the star, with much of expert
ence to back it up In many of its aspects
It is a great Hamlet, and in some il is al
most laughable Hamlet. His great scene
an infinitude of tenderness and loving gen.
tleness of son for his mother. This is
by far the best of his endeaYor in the role
He gives to 1t nearer the human touch
than he attains in any other part OF the
play. Two vital scenes that intervene be-
tween this and the trapping OF the kings
conscience were omitted in last nights per
Torrance, probably for the purpose OF saw
ins. the time. Elss Ia
Mr.. Giles Shine comes very nesr-to real
izing all there is in Polonius and makes
the garrulous old dodderer just about ideal
Next TO the star his is the best work OF the
performance. Miss Russell is a "weepy,
creepy Ophelia, and Miss Dodd's queen
mother lacks the elements of force either
for good or bad.
The play was witnessed by the largest
audience OF the week. and Mr.. Mantell was
called again and again at the close OF each
act to bow to Nhe applause of the people.

and this evening the engagement will close

MUsIc-LovINo INDIANS.
Audience of Arizona Reds Show Appreciation of Refined
 Productions.

It was in Phoenix, AriZ I had been visiting the Indian school there, and the director suggested my giving a concert. writes Harold Bauer, in Good Housekeeping At first I took 1t for granted that he meant a concert in the town. but when the night arrived I found myself in the presence of a thousand red Indians! When got over my surprise I sat down and played the programme through just as I had prearranged 1t. and I can say that I have seldom played to a more apprecistive audience. They were quiet attentive and absorbed. felt at once that strange. intuitive bond of sym pathy which declares itself on rare occasions between player and listeners. Strange as ths statement may sound. I believe those people were as capable of enjoyment of that kind of music as any artist could ask. They may not have been able to define ia words the difference between a Bach fugue and a Chopin irnprouptu. but the apprecia- ton vas there.

ABOUT WEDDINc-PREsENTs.
The Etiquette of the Occasion for In-
 timate Friends and for Family Groups.

If several members of a family ara invited to both the ceremony and the reception 1t is not necessary that each one should send present, although it would. of course, be a graceful act oi courtesy to do go. However, 1t is quite customary for sisters and brothers or even friends to combine in sending a gift In some cases a present sent by the mother and father is all that ia necessary.
 No matter how trifling the gift il will always be greatly appreciated by. the bride; 1t is the thought more than the value of the gift, and articles of handiwork sent by her intimate friends will indeed be highly prized.
 Casual acquaintances frequently send only a box of flowers on the day of the wedding. simply as an acknowl- edgment of the courtesy shown them in asking them to be present.
 Those who arc in mourning or who are travelling abroad or persons living at a distance, should not plead these circumstances as an excuse for not sending some trihing souvenir.
 The groom's gift is almost univer sally something for the brides person. al and exclusive use. usually a piece of jewelry of some kind. but never any article of wearing apparel It is not necessary for the bride to make a gift to the groom: it Is. in fact. purely matter of sentiment, but to my mind a very nice sentiment and one that it Is wise 10 follow
 Duplicates of wedding presents ars inevitable. These, if not marked. can be exchanged, but just there sentiment and courtesy must be considered and just because a gift does not please ont it should not b. exchanged. especially if sent by near relative or intimats friend.

NAMES OF olDEN TIME.
The Precursors of Modern Guns Were Weapons of Very Odd
 Sort.

Strange to modern eyes would be the armament of Great Britain's me. diaeval navy. The very names of many of the implements of attack and defense sound queer. According to. the books, in 1887 the vessels of the navy were furIsshed with "espring-, aids" ancient spring guns; haul bergeons," coat of mail; "basinets," ", small helmets; bows, arrows, doublets, targets; "pavises," large shields placed at the sides and serving the. double purpose of protection against the sea and against the enemy; lances and firing barrels"
 As early as 1888 cannon formed part of the armament of ships and about 1872 guns and gunpowder were com monly used. Among the stores belong ing to one vessel of that time were three iron cannon, with five chambers, a hand gun and three old stone bags, probably for shot. Another ship had an iron cannon with two chambers and one brass cannon with one cham ber.
 Among other implements of war used at that time were cannon pa- viors." or stone shot throwers, and and ''murtherers." which were small CT and threw any kind of shot There were also "basilisks," part pieces, |" stock fowlers," "sakers" and bom- bards." The bombards were of ham mered iron. made of bars welded and bound together with iron bands. They threw stone shot weighing between 140 pounds and 1s5 pounds. A battery of these erected on a slip of land at the naval battle of Chiogga C13s0l be- tween the ysnetians and the Genoese did great damage. They were loaded over night and were fired in the morn ing.
