The lingerie, of which Ave dozens of each garment and four dosens of rilrht- dresses have been provided, is a marvel of finest lawn cobwebby laoe and exquisite needlework. Every garment la embroidered with the letters "V. E." (Victoria Eu genia), surmounted by the Spanish Im perial crown. Whole catalogues of furniture designs. specimens of tapestries and Innumerable similar matters have been sent to Cowes for Princess Ena to choose from In order that the decorations and appointments of the royal palace may be to her liking. The rooms which she will occupy after marriage are the same as those once oc cupled by King Alfonso Xli and Queen Maria Cristlna. An excursion ot all the royal guests, along with the royal family, to Aranjues has been put in a program ot the wedding festivities. The king and his bride will remain in Madrid eight days after the marriage In order to participate In the festivities. They will then spend their honeymoon at .La.- Qranja palace, later going to San Sebas tlan. The fact that an English princess is to become queen of Spain Is not regarded as having any political significance, although the Increased Intimacy between King Ed ward and King Alfonso, and the fact that the policies of Great Britain and- Spain have recently followed similar lines Is cow sldered to be evidence that the marriage is Strengthening political relations which for a time were strained. The marriage Is popular with all classes In Spain. The Weddlaa t ake. The princess' wedding cake, made In London, is six feet higl and weighs mure than 810 .pounds. It stands upon a huge silver salver, on which the bride's moth er's wedding cake was placed. The cake consists of three glistening sliver white tiers and Is forty-six Inches in diameter at the base. The lowest tier Is divided Into eight pan els, separated by Corinthian columns and Is surmounted by Cupids disguised as ppst- men and messengers. The spaces hetween the columns are filled with panels of sugar work representing Spanish vines. The pan els are festooned with orange blossoms. white heather, myrtle and white roses. The flowers were chosen by Princess Ena There are four panels on the second tier. In the center of each Is a shield with the monogram "A. V." surmounted by the Snanish crown. Medallions, sprays of myrtle and tiny white roses embellish the third tier, on top of which Is a beautiful group of children in white Parian marble, bearing aloft a vase holding a bouquet. . Four long flora! fee toons reach from the top to the bottom tier. A gold knife with an Ivory handle two feet long accompanies the cake and will bo used to cut It for presentation to the guests. Caatlea la Spain. .Half a dozen palaces and castles await the king's bride. First of all there Is the splenald royal palace at Madrid, a great pile similar to Versailles, built by Philip V It is a massive building some 500 feet square and its most striking feature Is a magnificent marble staircase. Some dis tance outside of the capital Is the ancient palace of Escurlal, irreverently known as the gridiron, on account of Its curHus shape. It has rooms and corrldora totaling 110 miles In length. At Arranjuea there Is a brighter and more pleasant dwelling place, much more often visited by the Spanish court, while near San Ildnfonso Is the palace of I-a Granja. Then King Al fonso has a delightful shooting box at El Pardo and a beautiful seaside home. the Mlramar palace, at San Sebastian. At all these homes the usages and etiquette of two centuries ago are atlll maintained. Among the rules which Princess Ena ia likely to find somewhat irksome Is one re- auirlnx that the queen shall retire at M o'clock In summer and half-past I In the winter. Should the king wish to visit the queen's apartments after dark he must wear slippers over his shoes, have a black mantis thrown over his shoulders -and shield over his arm. He must also carry a lantern and a long sword and go unaeconv panled. Two guards whose service begins at Jl o'clock pass the night In the antechamber to the queen's room. The king himself has nocturnal ' guard. It - consists of alx gentlemen of the city of Esplnosa. They wear a curious uniform comprising a blue Jerkin, short braided trousers, silk stock ings and a sort of a silver trimmed opera hat. Each carries a fine Toledo sword.

' The nucleus of citizenship of Playground City waa formed Saturday afternoon, when about ISO boys and girls signed the consti tution and received buttons testifying to their right to participate In the duties and enjoyments of the municipality from Mayor George Bugarmnn, a quiet but dignified youth of tender years. The proceedings marked the real organisation of the juve nile city which the public playgrounds commltte has decided to inaugurate In con nection with the grounds at Twentieth and Harney streets. It has been received with enthusiasm by the youngsters, who have already stood loyally by the "government" In several crises. After boys and girls from all over town had joined the city Frank Heller, chairman of the committee, made a speech, impress ing upon his hearers the necessity for gov ernment to insure pesee, prosperity, law and order. He pointed out that the Juvenile municipality was a serious affair, backed by the Juvenile court, and In turn by the itate, the federal government and the Creator, the highest source ot authority. He placed the logic of obedience and com munal effort and patriotism before them In a way they understood. The buttons, representing the badee of citizenship, were supplied by J. L. Brandeiii & Sons. Practically everything necessary for the Improvements this year. Including the shower baths, giant -stride, parallel bars, etc., have been donated. In June, when a regular supervisor will be Installed and the schools have closed, a formal open ing will be held, in which the Omaha city officers will participate along with the offl- :ers of Playground City.

The county grand Jury has under consid eration charges which have been preferred by George Bradeen, In which he asserts cer tain South Omaha officials and others have been taking money from women who op erate resorts in the proscribed district. Brndeen was before the Jury Friday, and It Is understood mentioned some names in connection with the charges. Some more witnesses were examined Saturday morning In their own defense and at their own re quest. Counter charges have been made that the original charge Is brought to discredit offi cials whose places are sought by new ap plicants. The grand Jury so far has made no report in the matter. The grand Jury reported an indictment charging manslaughter against Bobert L. Johnson, the colored man who killed John Johnson, another negro, Saturday night. Johnson Is under arrest.

Oae af Omaha's fttaaaenest Raelaee Caaeeras Located la the Heart at the Retail District ef tbe City. A credit to the city and the state, the People's Store, occupying the large six story and basement building at Sixteenth and Farnam streets, has become one of Omaha's leading stores; their indomitable push, energy and confidence In the people of Omaha and vicinity and their firm be lief in Omaha's steady growth have been the potent factors that have made this store what It Is. This store, which began ls business life In Omaha in a small way on North Six teenth street nearly twenty years ago, has now become one of the largest retail stores of the city, doing business of a Very Inrge magnitude. It was due to the clear fore sight and business sagacity of the owner of this store that the old Morse building. which had been vacant for a long time, became once more a buslnes center. Dur ing this last January thousands of dollars were expended by this enterprising firm in the Improvement of their building to meet the tremendous and growing business; an entire new and large shipping room, extra warehouse space, enlarged display rooms and many other valuable Improve ments designed for the convenience and accommodation of their many patrons and for the better handling ot business. During the twenty years this store has been in Omaha they have furnished the homes complete of thousands of the most highly prised citizens of Omaha and Its surrounding cities. Many of Omaha's citi zens today can lay the foundations of their domestic success to the help and as sistance that the Peoples' store gave them when as young men the People's Store started them In house-keeping and assisted them during times of sickness or loss of employment by voluntarily carrying their accounts without payment or without even asking for one. This policy has been main tained by the Peoples' Store ever since its early beginning and shall always be con tinued. ' It was during the year of 18 after many solicitations from their customers, that the proprietors decided to open an extensive line of women's ready-to-wear clothing, hats and shoes and today this department has expanded until it is one of the largest and foremost In the city. Everything In ready to wear clothing Is shown here In all the latest styles and qualities at prices to tempt the most fastidious and ' most economical. This department occupies the north half of the second floor. The other half of the floor Is occupied by the men's, boy's and youth's clothing, hat and shoe department. Although Just celebrating its third anniversary, it has become the mecca for all those who desire good clothing of a standard quality at a price within the reach of all. The large rug and carpet department, where everything in the line of floor cover ing Is carried, occupies the fourth floor. The remaining floors are devoted entirety to furniture. in the annexes are complete lines of stoves, ranges and house furnishing goods. Also a large line of refrigerators.. On the main floor is located the new improved drapery department and their large line of gas ranges. During this summer many large im provements sre contemplated as the in creased trade requires additional space. B& far this spring trade has been exceptionally good and many new accounts have been opened. A visit to this store store will be time well spent. WOMAN HANGS SELF AT HOSE lira. E. T.

Life was almost extinct when Mrs. Lundin came back to her sister. Mr. Peterson was summoned from his desk In the city engineer's office. He was Inconsolable when he learned of the tragic event.

Doesn't it bring to your mind a picture of spluttering, splash ing, glittering light, spreading the street with a brilliant flood of yellow, glowing the heavens and filling you, coming upon It suddenly, with a sort of tingle of de light? The oldest New Yorker surely never gets over that quick thrill when he cornea upon Broadway In the splendor of Its lights. It has all evolved, this glorified daylight that shines upon New York by night, within the last ten years, and Is largely tho effect of hundreds of great elec tric signs, crying out to us in a beautiful blaze of light Just where can be had the best beer or the most satisfactory face powder, or where we may go ta have our shabbly dress that we are flaunting in the face of Broadway'a theater throng dyed to flaunt as new again. If we must be told where to buy our beer, what face powder is best and where to hava our clothes dyed, then by all means let us be told In this beautiful way. It Is so much better than the great panoramic pill signs that shriek at us aa wa rrnos the bridge by daylight, reminding us hideously ot all the Ills we have and of othera we might fly to. When Dewey came hack to hla own to have all New Tork, and. Incidentally, America, hold out lta arms to him on his arrival, the first great display of elec tricity in sign was used, and "Welcome" wan pricked out In Ughta so conspicuously that It must have burned Itself into the hero's mind If he had been slow to accept the cheers and cries as an Indication. That was the first ttme Father Knickerbocker ever decked himself -to any great extent with glittering electric Jewels, but It was some four yeirs before that the first elec tric sign was displayed nn Broadway. It was st Broadway and Twenty-third street, on on ot the walla of tha structure where the Flatlron now reara 1ta' towering head proudly. The sign spelled nut some of the attraction of Manhattan Beach to hot New Yorkers. I It seemed a huge and con aptcuoua sign In those days before the en lightenment of Broadway, but now It would be lost In Insignificance beside some of the great, glittering advertisements that spar kle splendidly along the thoroughfare. Lit tle by little Father Knickerbocker, realis ing the heightening of hla attractlona through the donning of these gems, and not wholly unaware of their commercial value, haa pinned a new gem here and there, wound another ehalrt of Jewels, until ha ha decked himself like some splendid oriental potentate. It costs a considerable sum to keep these gems sparkling night after night, spelling out commercial advantages to the passers, for soma cost tha sum of $17$ or l.'oo month, and tba largest as high aa $260. At flrat there were only dlamonda in these great ornament, but the electric Jewelers soon began adding emeralds and rubies and sapphires until now the great Father Knickerbocker flashea varl-hued gema In hla nightly plendor. The largest of these signs, and the larg est In tha world, by tha way, is the But- terlck sign that ahlnea like a huge beacon to the water travelers an North river, brilliantly outlined against tha dark throat of the night It ia all whit In it brll liancy, it great letter towering sixty eight feet into the air, it smaller letter fifty feet, and flashing over 1.400 Jewels In It whole, a double raw outlining tha great letter B that atari off the sign. Not long ago there cama a letter from England from someone on whom tha big Jewel had evl dently impressed Itself, the envelope bear Ing the name of the firm Inconspicuously and the words, "Proprietors of the Great Electric Sign," writ leu large, adding as a further guide to the postmaster, "New York or Neighborhood."
