Mobile, Feb. 2s.--(Special.l l--Sunday afternoon the Mardi Gras festivities i will open in full when the Imperial I Band will play a concert from o'clock until o'clock in Bienvilie Square.
 Throughout the afternoon the river front w.li be crowded with people awaiting the arrival of the river steam CTS, which are expected to be loaded with passengers from up-river points coming to the city to enjoy the carni- val festivities. The crowds will divide their attention between the arrival of the steamboats and the torpedo boat hotilla. which Is lying at anchor in the river.

 The royal chariot of Felix III is q replica of that in which Solomon re- I ceived the Queen of JSheba.

 Felix will be seated upon the throne
 under this wealth of royal robes. while around in front will be shown the l gigantic autufnnaf and spring foliage | and leaves, and to his rear will be two

Tho Love SONG.

Ut Is said that the men OF to-day.
are far less passionate In their love-}
making than their ancestors.)
I love you, or at least I think
That very possibly do;
In common honesty 1 shrink
From statements not precisely true.
But still it's safe to say I'm pretty
fond Of you.
/ cannot swear a mighty oath
To worship blindly till die.
In fact 1 should be rather loath
To form so very rash a tie.
Unless 1 knew a most substantial
reason why.
i shall not, with valiant air.
Pour out my blood for your goo1
Nor even boastfully declare
That II had the chance I would,
Because TO tell the truth. hardly
think should.
No knightly deeds have to do
And no impassioned words to say,
Still, / should like to marry you,
II YOU will tell me that I may,
And also kindly name the most con-
venient day.
L can't explain the thing. you know -

Forgive my weakness. and be kind
