that William H Bians, III Roland Ave-
M. Roland Park, Baltimore, took dur
ine the civil war. Mr.. Bians was born
March IL 1884. He is now in his seventy
ninth wear, and is enjoying robust health.
Al the time of the outbreak OF hostih-
ties he was a conductor employed py the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and in this

"a ssinated President Lincoln and many
other prominent men Of that day.
Although not behind a musket in the
war Mr. Bians rendered his services to
the government by transporting troops
from Annapolis to Washington. This
was done against his wishes, as he did
not know what duty he was to perform
when he was ordered to Annapolis juno
ton in charge of a train one night. Mr..
Bians stated II ne ndQ known MS His-

II was believed by many at the time
that the Northern troops, being able to
get from Annapolis to Washington, saved
the Capital from being taken by the Con-
federates, when the slogan was by the
South "On to Washington" and that of
the North ''On to Richmond"
The reason for the transportation Of
troops from Annapolis to Washington by
the former place was because they could
not get through Baltimore, the bridges
at Gunpowder and Bush Rivers having
been burned. The men were transferred
to the Maryland, ferryboat capable of
carrying an engine and eight or ten cars,

District OF Columbia is not one of a pre-
tentious collection, nor yet is 1t to be
found in the Botanic Gardens. but has
made record for its kind in a small
front yard on a city street.
This plant is growing in the center Of

Standing seven feet tall. with a stalk

the whole street. Some Of its large leaves

and more than half as much across.

This was shortly after the riot of April
19. 1861. when a mob attacked the Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment while it was
passing through Baltimore.
When Gen. Butler and his Federal
troops reached Perryville they were
placed abroard the Maryland. which then
crossed the bay to Annapolis. In the
meantime, John W. Garrett, who then
was president OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. ordered two engines, coaches,
and their crews to Annapolis Junction.
At the Junction, President Garrett in

The ballroom at Buckingham Palace
presented it usual brilliant appearance
at the recent ball. The rayal dais, Of

spectacle.

AT state balls In the last reign when
no foreign crowned heads happened TO
be present the royal quadrille was IN
yariably led OF by the late King with
the then Princess Of Wales. while Queen
Alexandra danced with the Prince of
wales. In the present reign the heir to
the throne is still too youthful to take
part in state functions and a Princess of
wales is for the moment only a pos
sibility Of the distant future.
Twice has the honor Of dancing with
Queen Alexandra in e state quadrille
been reluctantly declined. both times by
a President Of the French Republic At
Ioubet the latter modestly declared that
he had never danced in his life and would
only spoil the quadrille. A few years
later NJ. Fallieres under similar circum-
stances also begged to be excused, alleg-

his QUARTER Latin days.

tackled in Baltimore, these regiments
were the first to reach Washington. For
the next two weeks the trains were run
on a daily schedule.
The last day Mr.. Bians spent in the
governments service he took Gen. Butler
and detachment Of troops toward Bal
timore from Annapolis. They stopped at
the Four-Mile House, between Relay and
Baltimore. 1t was Sunday, and the peo-
pie were returning home from church.
When two soldiers were seen, the people
became alarmed and started to run. Gen.

Booth shot Lincoln. He was in WASH

the time, and invited Mr.. Bians and sew

a glass of wine. Mr.. Bians was not in
troduced to the others and never learned
their names After the assassination, Mr..
Bians expected to be arrested as an ac-
complice. as the police were picking up
everybody who had been seen in Booths
company that day. However. he was
fortunate enough to escape the notoriety
of being arrested as an accessory.
In 1875 Mr.. Bians became president of
