The regiment was composed of troops

To make a rose pillow, gather the
petals as for rose jar on sunny day,
but dry in the shade. The hot sun will
curl and twist the petals, and draw out
the odor They must be well dried be-
fore you stuff the pillow.
Spread upon a broad tray, and strew
tablespoonful of powdered orris root
among them. If you can afford to buy
the true altar of rose, you will secure
the delicate fragrance" you desire by
sprinkling 10 drops over the petals Just

their headgear.
On their refusal he went out and
enlisted the services of four market

two feet wide.
The four porters walked quietly
in and sat down, with their hats on,
in front of the two women, COM
pletely shutting off their view OF the
stage, amid great laughter from all
parts of the house.
The women complained and sent
for the police, but were politely in

which compelled market porters to
take off their hats in the theatres.

WEDDING IN SMART SOCIETY,
Ceremony Was Performed Tuesday
in st. Johns Church.

Newport. R. l., May 5.--What was
looked upon by the smart society of
New York and Newport as the most
important matrimonial union of the
spring took place today, when Miss
Pauline Leroy French, niece of Mrs.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, became the
bride OF Samuel ]. Wagstaff. The
ceremony was performed in st.
Johns church and was witnessed by
vast concourse of the ultra-fash-
inonable of New York. Following the
example of the brides aunt, Mrs. FL

ried to Alfred G. Vanderbilt in St.
Johns, the wedding reception will
be held at Harbor View, the summer
home OF the brides grandmother,
Mrs. Francis C. French.
The groom is the son of Colonel
Alfred Wagstaff, president of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty

PREPARING FOR FLEET.
Streets of San Francisco deliberately
Decorated With Flags

Decorated With Flags.
San Francisco, May 1.-The day
before the arrival of the Pacific fleet
is a busy one for the various COM
mittees in charge of the plans for
the reception and entertainment of
the officers and sailors, as well as for
citizens and business men generally,
but the results achieved have we'll
repaid the labor and effort of the
past weeks. Never before have the
streets of San Francisco displayed
such lavish showing of flags, bunt-
ing and elaborate decorative effects.
Never before have the people of what
was two years ago a ruined city man
ifested so much enthusiasm. Unless
all the well-laid plans go amiss, the
stay of the fleet in San Francisco
bay will become memorable as the
greatest demonstration of it's kind
in the history of the American ma
Wy.
The advance guards of the vast
crowds which will visit San Francis
co during the next few days have al
ready commenced to arrive and it is
likely that the city will be filled to
oyerflowing by tomorrow night.
