"Nothing but the address to be on this side" was mare to tho point, lent it looked clum- sy, and the next' issue had "Write only the address on' this side," which was objected to as barring the type - welter. "Write the address only ot, thls side, the message on the other," followed, and was promptly criticised as being both clumsy and ambiguous. Time the wood "only" was dropped, without much Improvement.

A London despate,h.-A scene more brilliant than anything ever offered Imperial guests, and more gorgeous than anything ever before attempt- ed in London, was presented at the India Office, Whitehall, to -night, when the Prince of Wales, in the name of the Xing and Emperor of India, rec,eiveci the homage of the ruling chiefs of India. The entire Inner quadrangle of the great building had been transformed. Its rough pavement was covered with a wooden flooring, that was car- peted in crimson. Overhead was stretched a magnificent star- spangled sheet of silk. Around the four sides the stone ledges were hidden under banks or flowers and waving palms. At one end was the royal dais, with a crimson canopy, surmounted by crow,ns ot each of ite four corners. The arrangement of the steers on the silken sky was astronomically correct, they being placed as they appear in the East- ern heavens. By a cunning arrange- ment of lights tins artificial firma - aren't resembled the Mt, pale sky of an Indian nignt. The entire quadrangle, usually dull grey stone, seemed to be a glittering marble palace. Looking from the floor up- ward the higher portion of the architecture became indietinct in a luminous haze. Tao magnificent court appeared to be out of all proportion to) its actual size, which was due to clever manipula- tion of the lights. The Prince of Wales was dressed in the uniform of an admiral. The Prinuess or Wales was in white, and wore a pearl collar and diamond tiara. They arrived at 11 o'clock. Tho Duke of Connaught was attired In the uniform of a field marshal. He accompanied the Prince of Wales. The latter received the native chiefs, shaking hands with some, and touching the swords or others, meaning that the Xing accepted the use of the sword thus offered. Mho assemblage intermingling pre- sented a most striking spectacle. The East Indians appeared in gorgeous (colors and studded with Jewell', moved among the most brilliant or English women, and uniformed of- ficers. The Maharajah or Gwalior wore a turban encrusted with jew- els and braoelets of diamonds. On hie back hung a shield blazing, with jewels. Ras Makonnen, the repro- eentative of Emperor Menelik, of A.byssinia, was present as a gaest. Ile wore a Motel -dress formed or a lion'o mane, and a breastplate of velvet intervvorked with gold. He earried a shield and an immense :mord. The night's entertainment cost $150,000. KITCHENER'S WELCOME. Lease Number or Troops to Take Part in it.

IN0111( MOCK MMES. Apparitions Visible, but Their Origin Very Human, IMAGE OF THE VIRGIN SEEN, Ian, July 7. -For the laot twenty day e great ea:eitement has reigned in the Marches of Ancona. It was as- serted, with every appearauce of probability, by several people, .tha,t the Virgin Mary had appeared to a young shepherdess on the Mountain of Stregee near Ancona, and had bid- den her to have a church built and dedicated on the top of the mountain. It sva.s not long before the news had spread through the surrounding country, and was implicitly accepted as true. Several thousand country women started on a pilgrimage to the naoun'tain. The halt, the lame and the blind were dr.agged by their relatives along the Steep slope, it being con- fidently hoped that the 'suiferers would be miraculously cured of -their several complaints and infirmities. The scones witnessed reminded one of what taken place at the Madonna's shrine at Lourdes. All work in the n-eighborhood was suspended, and the crowd of devout believers grew so en- ormous that tile authorities became seriously preoccupied. Every worship- per brought money, goods or value or candles to lay at the feet of the holy apparition. There seemed to be n•o reason to doubt the reality ell the visions. At night a number of little flames sparkled on •the mountain, and an image of Ono Lady really appeared again amid agains The authoeitiea knowing that there most be something more than, t•he supernatural a.t work, content- ed themselves tn the beginning with keeping more or less order, ihoping that something would turn up.
