FOR FLORAL PARADE.

citizens has suggested to the Pro-
motion Committee an idea on floral
parade day advertising which does not
appear bad. 1t is, briefly, to frame
the words Floral Parade" with date,
etc, in large letters on the fiat face
of Punchbowl Eill. in such position
that they may be seen easily from any
part Of the city. The letters accord
ing to this scheme would be made oil
coral lime and would, of course, have
background of green and brown The
proposal mas taken well and an EFFORT
may be made to carry it out.
Acting Secretary Cooper, of the Pro-
motion Committee, has received from
the ,engraYers the first batch of picture
postcards designed by II. NJ Mist for
floral parade day Other schemes IN
the line OF posters have also arrived. ii
is presumed here that the post,al ds
have already been sent over Europe
ana probably parts of the United
States.

Most Friendly Greetings

BERLIN. Feb. 4.-The kaiser en-
braced King Edward and kissed him
on both cheeks when the royal visitor
arrived from London with the queen
today. The king then kissed the hand
of the German empress and the kaiser
kissed the hand of the English queen.
The entrance of the king and queen to
the city was one Of the most notable
events Berlin has seen for many years.
The kaiser was dressed in English
uniform, and the king was attired in
German uniform in conformity with
European court etiquette for such oc-
casions. Enormous crowds gathered at
the railway station. After the ceremo-
nies attending the introductions, the
king and kaiser entered a gorgeous
state coach and were driven through
lines of cheering people to the palace
The coach was pulled by eight beau
tiful black horses. The queen ac-
companied the empress
At Brandenburg gate, Mayor Kirsch-
ner, assisted by the aldermen and city
councillors, extended a formal welcome
on behalf of the city to the king. The
king replied briefly. At the palace
salute of a hundred guns was fired.

G. S. Torney, of the army, to plans to
keep the inactive commissioned Off
GERS of the new army medical reserve
corps, which is composed of prominent
physicians and surgeons through the

the surgeon general that these Off
GERS may attend the army maneuvers.

the organized militia in the states for
which they are appointed. Experience
thus gained would be of decided ad-
vantage to the officer of the medical

draws the amendment considered by
Cullom obnoxious to Cullom's resolu-

along until Knox tackled an amend
ment providing for the survey OF a
