The entire affair Is under the direc
tion of MIsm Margaret McLaren Kager,
of Doston, tho best known director of
v (such entertalnmentB In this country,
or doubtless In the world. Shu It a
lady of high culture and distinguished
.-ippcurance, and has a personal mag
netism whl"h affects nil who come Into
her presence. She is so thorouKhly
competent In her system of work that
nho accomplishes In a marvelously
short space of time what with n ior-t-on

young queen. In the dnys when she
laughed a great deal anl looked at
life ns If It were a merry play she
who wiij) to weep a gu-nt deal and suf
fer many times the bitterness of death
liefoie she bared her lovely throat to
it as It doscenried In the knife of the
guillotine.
The fete which this Is supposed to
represent Is that celebrated In honor
f the visit of tho Orand Duko Paul
of Kusbla, who with tho grand duchos
lsltcd Incognito tho court of France,
It was there, about the little palace of
the Trianon, that Marie Antoinette
spent her last happy days. There In

the great ladles with their cnvtillcrs.

young queen, tho fair Princess do
Lambolle, tho Due do Cholseul, Mad
ame de Pollgnnci and all the othera of
lofty Unease, who aided In tho frivol
ous enjoyments of the times, can be
recalled with their affectations of sim
plicity wo know as portrayed f by
lloucher and Itousscau. This was 'the
greatest out-of-door event since tho
Field of tho Cloth of Gold. Nothing
npptoaching it htw been given in re
tent times, with the solitary exception
of tho extravagant Imitation by tho
Cnstollancn year ngo.
It l proposed in tho foto now in
process of preparation to have tho
stage repicfcent tho grounds about Lc
Petit Trianon, tho scenery depleting
tho miniature lake, tho grottoes, tho
mill and foretts, tho rustic bridges,
and the temples with tho chatelcts of
the little Swiss village in perspective.
At tho raising of the curtain tho
pages will ba discovered lighting tlm
Ktounds for tho fete, then the danco of
the dairymaids and pager, with tho
danco of tho Jester and Llzcttc, and
tho pretty sceno with Llr.ette and the
Hose. Then follows the grand entrance
of the Queen, with tho teceptlon of the
tint id Duko and suite. After this
come the dunces, arranged in imita
tion of those In the historic fete. In
place of tho semi-barbaric Russian
dance a beautiful Flag Dance of Kus
sla Is Introduced. Tho Alsatian Danco
follows, which precedes th Court
Dance, a Mutely yet dimming Polon
aise. The dunce'' of Pierrot and Pier
rette, tho Fire Dance, the beautiful
lliincnilan fllpsy Dance, ami ns a
grnnil finale the dance of the Shep
herds and Shepherdesses, who, o
coui.se, are the lords and ladles In dis
guise, led by Marie Antoinette and tho
Grand Duke.
Tho dances are not yet complete, but
a portion of them, with the diaper
ones, Is appended.

The Piper's faco fell, and lie cried
"No trifling! I can't wait, beside!
I'm promised to visit by dinner time
Ilagdat, and accept tho prime
Of the Head-Cook's poitaite, all he's rich in,
For luUnx left, in the Caliph's kitchen,
Of a m $t of scorpions no survivor;
With him I proved no baigiln drlier,
With jou, don't think I'll bat; a atlier!
And folks who put mc In a umIoii
May Bud ma pipe after another fashion."

"How?" riled tho Slajor, "d'ye tlili.lt I Irool:

And to liU lips ataln

And era he blew three notes (sueh swret
Soft notes as yet musician's rtii.nini;
Never sate the enraptured air)
There was & rustling that seemed like a bualllnj
Of merry crowdi Jiutllut at pitching; and huv-

The Tribune publishes today lit own

Little hands dap-ilni. and llltlc tunpiej chatter.

And, like fowlj In a farm-j-aid when barby is

The Majur was eli.mb, and the Council slood

1 liable to mCAe a ilep, or cry
To the children merrily fckippinz by,
-Could only follow with the ejo
That joyous crowd at the Piper's back.
Hut how- the Major was on the rack,
And tho wictched Council's bosoms beat.
As the Piper turncel from the lliitli etn-et
To where the SSe-ser rolled ill waten
HlKht in the w.ij- of the lr tons and iljtigiitcrt!
Ilow-cirr, he turned Irotn Sutitli to Wctl,
And to Koppelbeii: Hill his steps iildii-vsl,

NOTHING ELSE CURES.
Why Faille's Celery Compound Is the
Best Remedy in the World.
Kfm'
"When everything else has failed,
Palno's Celery Compound has brought
mc- back to health."
The thousands of instances whero
this has been said the scoics of ponplc
In every community who have told this
simple story; the downright, hard, cold
facts; the grateful acknowledgements
of men and women who have suffered
from the ellscases that have their ori
gin In impaired nervous systems and
sluggish, Impure blood these are what
have made 'Palno's Celery Compound
far nnd away the one remedy above
all others thnt phj'slcians prescribe and
tho public indorse.
It Is by merit, und merit alone, thnt
Palne's Celery Compound has achieved
Its wonderful pre-eminence, not onlj' In
this country but throughout the civil
ized world.
After tho unfortunate person who Is
ailing because the blood needs new life,
and the nerves require nature's food,
llnally tiles Palne's Celery Compound,
and gets Immedlnts relief, another is
added to the gtent multitude of people
whose praise for this remedy has made
the demand for it many times larger
than that of all othtn- lemedles put to
gether. A person must have lost all confi
dence In his fellow-men who can read
tho following letter and not be con
vinced of the great benefit Palne's Cel
er Com pound has done, is doing, and
will continue to do for tho sick and
nprvous peoplo wherever It finds them.
When a hick man or woman finds
that he or she has taken a remedy that
has actually done for him or her all
that Ih claimed for It it ran be -.at'ely
piedlcted what will follow. Hvery oe
qtiulntnncp, sick or well, will bo told
about It.

experience in the hope of helping

decisive victory over Gen. Campos.
Gen. Rodrlgue,: was a very sick man.
Ho was us nc.tr nervous prostration
as biie can ba and live. After fives
years' .suffering his ilt.-it good night's
sleep came Immediately upon, hU tak
ing Palno's celery compound. His let
ter reads:
"Dear Sirs: For five years I had not
had a pooil night's lest. I had a seri
ous e-nso of nervou-i prosit ation, my
stiength seemed to be leaving me, utnl
I felt tired and weak all tho time. My
blood was Impure and I suffered from
pains in tho back, constipation, and an
Inactive liver. I had no appetite and
no ambition. I was eonstantly con
sulting ph-slclans, nnd it seemed ar.
though I was nearlj ready to tile.
Providenco sent mo a bottle of Paine';
eclerj" compound, and this great rem
edy cured me of all tho irritable symp
toms with which I was mulcted. I can
frankly nnd sincerely saj' that had it
not been for Palne's celery compound,
