MRS. SMITH—"Oh yes, quite well, thank you, but I don’t think I Ought to stay to tea
though, I’d like to ever so much, you always have everything so nice, now do you manage it?”
MRS. BROWN.—f‘0h I don’tlmanage it at all; you know Mr. Brown does’nt earn but ten dol-
lars a week, and we used to trade at Charge & Dun’s. and we'used to buy the cheapest kind of
guest they had, and went behind every week at that. but now we have the best cuts or rib roast
(just think. only 12}; cents a'pound) for dinner three times a week, and then what is left is nice
for supper. - we think roast beef is just as good cold as it is hot.” . ‘-
‘ MRS. SMITH-4'80 doI.‘but where in the world can you buy it for 12% cents a pound, we
have to pay 18. and onefbu'tche‘r'says beef has gone up, and next week it will be'so.”

A GREETING TO THE worms NAVY.

After the Review the President Receives
the Admirals—The Display of the Met-
chant Marine—The Pa rgde of the Sailors.
Six Thousand Men in Line.

NEW YORK, April 28.—0wing to the rain
the great naval parade yesterday did not
start as soon as was expected. In the
presidential party on board of the Dolphin
were Secretary Gresham, Ambassador and
Mrs. Bayard, Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle,
Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, Secretary and
Mrs. Bissell, and Secretaries Morton and
Smith and Attorney General Olney.

When the president and Mrs. Cleveland
arrived at the dock at the foot of Twenty-
third street the rain stopped, the sun came
out, and the immense crowd which had as-
sembled to witness the embarkation broke
into a wild cheer. Launches took the
party out to the Dolphin, and as soon as
the president and his escort were on board
the Dolphin the boom of a 10-inch gun on
the Miantonomah announced that the re-
view had commenced.

The roar of the Miantonomah’s twenty-
one guns was followed by a salute from

the Brazilian ships Republica and Tired--

entes. The Dolphin replied to the Bra-
iilian and a cloud of smoke rose over the
lower end of the line of war ships. The
Brazilian’s manned yards just before
firing and the long lines of blue jackets
stood out against a white back ground of
smoke. .The Dolphin moved at a slow and
stately gait, and the salute of each ship
was distinct and sharp. The Aquidaban
flagship of the Brazilian fleet, finished sa-
luting and the Nueva Espana took its turn.
The Dolphin was followed at a distance
of about three hundred feet by the Blake
and she in turn by the Miantonomah.

The Seeadler, of the German fleet, fired
her first gun. She was followed a moment
later by the Reina Regente, of the star-
board column, and the two ships, one on
each side of the Dolphin, make the welking
ring. The Kaiserin Augusta joined the
chorus, and the echoes rolled up to the
Palisades and down again, until one
seemed to hear a long line of artillery
reaching for miles on the Jersey shore.
The bands on the ships played the national
air, but it was only at intervals between
the roar of guns that the music could be
heard. ‘

The Dolphin lessened her speed as she
approached the head of the line, and there
was an interval between the firing from
the ships. Each vessel-began saluting as
the Dolphin’s ’bow came abreast. Ten
minutes after 'she had passed the jack tars
came down from their positions on the
arms.

The Philadelphia fired a salute at the
head of the line, and the Dolphin came to
a. stop just in the rear of the caravels. .At
the same time all the steamboats, tugs and
pleasure craft blow their whistles, and
made a. din almost as deafening as the sa-
luting. There was- cheering and waving
of hats, handkerchiefs and umbrellas, and
the trium'phial procession of the presiden-
tial party was'ended.' . The whistles sent
up a cloud of "steam which,~added to the
Smoke of the guns obscured the view of ' a
large portion of the river. The admirals
of the diflerent squadrons then embarked
in steam launches and proceeded to the
Dolphinl'fi- " ~" , ‘ ,

Then the» merchant marine was signaled

_ to get away. The Seabird with the com-
, 'mittee on board roundedthe head of the

double column of ‘men—of—war and started

. down the river on the New York side. The

Al Foster followed and the police patrol
tugs fell in line twoby two. After them
came tugs, steamboats and steam yachts,
two or three abreast, and all with whistles
blowing.

The commotion that followed has never
been equaled in the Hudson river. Clouds
of steam rose from - the tugs and blew
across the men-of-war. The crews of the
men-of-war faced the rail and waved hats
and handkerchiefs at the noisy tugs and
steamboats as they passed. The whistles
of the tugs and steamers hept up a con
tinual tooting and blowing from the time
they were given permission to start until
the lower end of the long line of the squad-
ron was reached.

The reception of the admirals by the
president lasted until 4:40 p. In. Then when
his flag Was hauled down on the Dolphin
and he went ashore at Ninty-sixth street,
and at a signal from the Philadelphia, the
guns of 'the entire fleet belched forth
simultaneously. Each vessel fired twenty-
one shots and the roar that ensued was
deafening. The admirals returned to their
ships. the steamboats which lingered with
passengers bent on seeing all of the great
naval pageant went to their piers and the
ceremonies were over. ‘

THE COLUDIBIAN BALL.

 

A Brilliant Spectacle at Madison Square
. . Garden.

NEW YORK, April 28.—The Columbian
ball last night at the Madison Square Gar-
den was in respect to ma‘gnificence of dec-
oration and arrangement, and of the large
number of World famous guests present,
the most splendid ever given in the new
world.

Besides the president and his advisers,
the chief legislative body of the United
States and a Spanish grandee who is the
namesake and lineal descendant of Chris-
topher Columbus, there were the diplo-
matic corps, the admirals and subordinate
officers of every great naval power in the
world, governors of neighboring states

.and famous army officers.

' The decorations of the garden were rich
and elaborate, eclipsing in th i: magnifi-
cence and elegance anything ever before
The
main entrance had been draped with a
back ground of pure white, festoo'ned with
a delicate tracing'of smilax and asparagus
sprays, and cut}; flowers and rare exotics
were profusely distributed through this
rich green ground while a myriad of tiny
electric lights shbne from out the mass of

flowers and verdue. Two silver dragons.

with great burning rub eyes guarded the
J. adison avenueeiitrance.

In the center of the garden thousands of
sprays of, lilies of the, valley formed .an
afch. Upon "the keystone was perched a
smiling .cupid,uwhose 'fairy wings are
studded with minature lamps, and who
holds in his hands a chain of vari-colored
electric lights. The base of the arch was
composed 'of many colored lights, whose
hues were constantly changing. . . ‘

At the Fourth avenue end of the garden

‘was placed an immense Japanese fan

studded with electric lights. Directly be-
neath this was. the reception dies. It was
gorgeous with plants" and flowers, and at
theitwo' corners were dragons such as
guarded the entrance to the garden.
Across, the rear of the ampitheater in

huge letters- are the words "'A New
World’s Welcome.” A magnificent model
of the Capitol at Washin on, created out
of white cape flowers and llu'inina‘ted with
electric lights, rests upon the stage of the
assembly room. '.

A miniature reproduction of the grounds
in natural plants surrounds it. The Hun-
garian band occupied the lower end of this
stage, which was banked with: palms and
cut flowers, while the broad stairways be-
tween the assembly room and the amphi-
theater was entirely covered with a drap-
ery of white and gold and festoons of
unilax and tiny lamps. The cost or those
magnificent decorations was 810,000.

The large box on the center of the Madi-
son avenue and was occupied by his honor,
Mayor Gilroy and suite. President Cleve-
land’s box was on the right of the mayor.
It was lined with white and gold, with:
delicate maiden hair ferns, roses and
asparagus in beautiful design covering it.
A magnificent bank of American beauty
roses sloped gently down to the base 'of the
balcony to a large American shield and"
eagle, Old Glory being outlined in colored
lights.

The boxes occupied by the Duke of
Veragua and his party was on the left of
the'mayors. The other boxes on the first
tier and about the mayor’s box were occu-
pied by members of thethe diplomatic corps
and by Governor Flower and stafi. The
arena boxes were occupied by the admirals
of the foreign and American fleets and
their attending officers. The foreign officers
had been given the centre boxes and the
Americans the outer boxes. Major General
Schofield,commanding the army,aud Major
General 0. 0. Howard with their suites,
also occupied boxes in this tier.

Two bands furnished the music in the
ball room, one being stationed on the
south and the other on the north side of
the garden toward the Fourth avenue end.
Lender’s orchestra of eighty string pieces
played the music for the dancers and
Rogers’ Seventh Regiment band of sixty
pieces played during the intermissions,
and promenades.

The doors of the garden were thrown
open at 9 o’clock, and almost immediately
afterwards the guests began to arrive.
The naval officers were met by a. special
appointed committee at the foot of West
Forty-second street, and from there taken
in carriages to the garden. The president
having other engagements during the
evening did not arrive with his party until .
some time after the ball had been an-
nounced to begin at 10 o’clock.

The naval guests included all the officers
of the fleet, and was composed of vice ad-
mirals, rear admirals, admirals, captains,
commanders, lieutentant commanders and
lieutenants, all ablaze in gold buttons, gold
lace and decorations. Honorary commit-
tees were appointed to escort the guests as
they arrived and present them to Mayor
Gilroy.

Mayor Gilroy, head of the municipality,
and Mrs. Gilroy officially received the
guests of the evening. They stood upon
the reception dais, and just behind them
were stationed the committee of one hun-
dred and the honorary committees, who
escorted the more distinguished of the
guests from the. entrance to their boxes.

N o precedence was observed; every effort
being made to'indicate that the ball was a
Republican citizens’ affair. The president,
however, was not escorted to the mayor’s
reception dais when he arrived a half hour
before midnight, but was met at the en-
trance by his escort of honor. The bands at
his appearance played “Hail to the Chief”
—-the only piece played in honor of any of
the guests, and Mayor Gilroy advanced to
meet him. After the formal introduction
the president and his party were escorted
to his box. .

The program of dances Was a very simple
one. There were no distinctive figure
dances during the evening.

A bufiet supper for the invited guests
was served in the Concert hall. The buffet,
which extended around two sides of the
room was handsomely decorated.

The guests of honor, who were invited
to the ball were President Cleveland, the
vice president, the cabinet, the justices of ,
the supreme court, the Duke of Veragua
and his party, the foreign and United
States naval officers, the diplomatic corps,
Major Generals Schofield and Howard,
Governor Flower and his staff, the lien-
tenant governor, the speaker of the house
of representatives, the United States sena-
tors from New York, the governors of Illi-
nois, Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
Director General Davis, of the fair; the
members of congress, state senators and
assemblymen from this country. Of these
the supreme court justices, the United
States senators, the governor of Illinois
and Director General Davis, did not at-
tend. '

The Naval Parade.

NEW YORK, April _28.—-The parade of
United States and foreign sailors started
from Forty-second street and Fifth avenue
at 10 o’clock this morning. About. 6,000
men were in line. The line of march
was. down Fifth avenue to Waverly Place,
to Broadway, past the city hall, where
President Cleveland reviewed the men, to
the Battery. After the procession the
junior oflicers of the fleets were enter-
tained at luncheon at the Waldorf.

England and the Behring Sea.

LONDON, April 28.-—The Times, in dis-
cussing the Behring sea arbitration, says
it believes that the British advocates will
not reply to Mr. Carter’s prolonged dis-
cussion of interesting problems of philo-
sophy and natural history as affecting
seals, which only properly belong to the
question of regulations. It says that on
the question of rights Sir Charles Russell
will probably only examine in such a way
as to avoid even the appearance of dis-
courtesy to the United States, the grounds
upon which the American advocates claim
to travel so far for the p'irpose of estab-
lishing a contention which cannot be main-
tained upon any hitherto recognized princi—
pal of international law.

Young Women’s Christin. l Association.

TOLEDO, 0., April 28.——-The fourth bi—
ennial convention of the Young Women’s
Christidn association is now in session.
The following prominent men are present
and will address the convention: Dr.
Thoma‘s c. Hall, Professor Graham Tay-
lor, Chicago Theological seminary; Dr.
James H. Brooks, St. Louis; Mr. L. D.
Wishai'dt, secretary international com-
mittee'of Young Men‘s, Ulll‘lStlan associa-
tion, New York.

DOVER, Del, April 2-8.-—The jury in the

Trapped.

The burglar stepped lightly into the
room. .‘

He moved forward in the dark with
pistol in one hand and a bottle of chloro-
form in the other. He was desperate
and ready for anything. .

Espeéially anything to eat.

Suddenly his foot struck something,
and the next second'an indefi'néble body
hurled itself upon him. With a mufied
shriek of fear he dropped his weapons
and grappled with the monster. He
fought and tore, he struck savagely at it
in the dense darkness, but all to no pur-
pose.

He was as a child in the awful grasp
of agiant. Only for .a moment the un-
equal battle raged; then he sank upon
the floor conquered.

They found him the next morning
cold and stiff, but they were too, late.
And as the head of the house disentan-

Her__ Opinion.

For five years past I havebeen tortured with

a blood and skin disease known in medical par-
lance as “Herpes.” It mamfested itself in
bright red, swollen patches under the skin,
The fiery burnin sensation was intolerable.
My face was dis .fzured, my hands, arms, feet
and body felt as 1 .they had been poisoned !
Proximity to my kitchen stove and all exer-
cise aggravted the malad . It was a relief
to thrust my feet out of ed in the coldest
nights; I lost flash for lack of necessary sleep
and rest. Physicians who treated me ave me
only temporar relief. .,I used. the ticura
remedies. Ayer s and Hood’s sarsapai-illas and
other blood purifiers, none of which hit my
iscouraged and; not inchned to

try anything more. .or.,two years I have

been importuned to try Sawyer’s Dandelion .

Compound, but I declined. ,rhadlno faith
that an limit or anybody-could cure me, but
finally, yielded to anti-entice and began. to
