Most of the dignitaries were as
sembled in the ante-room and the babe
taken to the Premier was carried
around by him.
There were present twenty bishops,
diplomats of foreign countries, lords,
princes and other mobiles.
The son born today to King Alton
20 and Queen Victoria will, according
to decree of the Spanish govern
ment, bear the title Of Prince of the
Asturias.
The principaIity of the Asturias was
formerly the mountain refuge of the
aboriginal inhabitants of Spain, who
remained there unconquered alike by
Roman and Moor. In many respects
the Asturias is regarded as the cradle
of the Spanish monarchy, hence the
pride taken in the title of Prince of
the Asturias.
The Formal Announcement.
The formal announcement of the sex
of the infant was made by the camara

EIoouence.

The Y. VI. G. A. Ladies Auxiliary
met Friday evening at home of Mrs
J. w. McSherry. Nearly every church
in the city was represented.
After some comment on the work of
the Ladies' Auxiliary In connection
with the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, and number OF other things
considered, it was decided that it was
best to postpone the election OF Of
ficers until next "Wednesday evening
at the same time and place, as the
matter of electing officers was very
important, and possibly wise thing
to give it more consideration, and in
the meantime, secure new members,
and have them present at he meeting
next week.
important Factor in Work.
The Ladies Auxiliary is very i'm
portant factor in the work of the asso-
citation, and while the organization is
one of the strongest arms OF all
churches and the church is made up
of women and men, the women must
have part.
AS one woman said this evening,
the men cannot get along without the
women. And while the best men in
our country are backing the Young
Mems Christian association, we must
have and do have our women, and this
brings the different churches in clos
err touch with each other and thereby
work together for greater good.
