Paris of the czar of Russia and will
Include a number of events affording
opportunity for brilliant spectacular
effect. Government architects have
prepared a plan for the decoration of
the streets by day and for illuminations by night. Private residents and
shopkeepers have contributed Ifirge
sums of money towards transforming
the avenues and boulevards of tbe city
into masses of color with floral arches,
Venetian masts and looplngs of flowers. A large force of troops is being
assembled to add to the military pageantry of the event.

state carriage with postilions and outriders and, escorted by a regiment of
cuirassers, they will drive through the
Bote and the Champs Elysees to the
British embassy. Throughout the entire route soldiers will be massed on
either side of the thoroughfare.
•King Edward will stay at the British
embassy, wbich during his sojourn
will be regarded as a royal residence.
He will occupy the apartments which
have not been used! since the last visit
to Paris of the late Queen Victoria, but
which have been sumptuously redecorated and equipped for this occasion.
They overlook a flne sweep of the park
and the gardens of the embassy.
President Loubet will leave King
Edward at the embassy, but the king
will proceed to the Elysee palace at 5
i o'clock to pay a formal call upon the
president, which will be returned by

for, the Royal cup, ls offered by his
majesty. Saturday night there will be
a gala performance at the opera, the

- Old" and a scene from "Sampson- and
Dellah."
The performance at the opera will
be attended by all high officials, tbe
diplomatic representatives, members
of the senate and the chamber and
those socially prominent in Paris.
Owing to the tremendous pressure for
places the American embassy has
been asked if it could possibly spare
the government some of the seats assigned to it This, however, was impossible. On Sunday Foreign Minister
Delcasse will- give a breakfast at the
foreign office and ln the evening King
Edward will give a dinner to President
Loubet. Each of these events is being arranged upon- a scale of lavish
magniflcance. King Edward will leave

On the  Second   Floor—Both   Boy and
Horse  Enjoyed the Visit.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Archie
Roosevelt, who is recovering from an
attack of measles, bad a visitor the
other day, Whose call will do more to
restore him to health than all the medicine the doctor can give him. Soon
after Archie began to convalesce be
begged to be allowed to see his spotted
pony, Algonquin, which ls his constant
companion when,he is well.
It was too soon for Archie to leave
his room, and Mrs. Roosevelt was compelled to decline the request. "Charles,
the groom, who looks after Algonquin
and who also is a great chum of
Archie, thought the matter over and
concluded tbat if Archie- wanted to see
his pony he should do so.
Without confiding his plan to anyone, he led the pony tbe other day into]
the White House and along the corridor Into the elevator. The attendants were too much surprised to say a
word until after the elevator had disappeared. When the second floor was
reached, Charles led the pony to
Archie's room and ushered it In. To
say that Archie was delighted expresses it ihildly and the pony also
seemed to enjoy the visit. Tbis is tbe
flrst time that a horse has ridden In a
White House elevator.

The members of the Titusville
Gnn lub team have demonstrated
Itheir great proficiency along both
lines. Two weeks ago the five-
man team from this cityt covered themselves with honor and their adversaries
with confusion on the grtftnds of the
Oft City team. Saturday tbe conditions
were reversed and Titusville took the
chastisement.
- The Oil City team arrived on the
•12:26 train and were , entertained by
members of the local club untl 1:80
wben tbey were taken to the shooting
ground on.the regular car. The visitors were William Eaton, C. G. Crozier,
W, -H. Huff, Charles H. Lay, Jr.,
Charles H. Oles, W. H. Cooper, C. A.
McLouth, J. C. Dinsmoorj E. E. Colling
and R. G. Cox.
The Oil! City team was composed of
Messrs. Huff, Oles, Crozier, Eaton and
Lay, Jr. Opposed to them were C.
Meyer, Kellogg, Schwartz, Jordan ahd
Andrews, of the Titusville club.
The conditions for shooting were
very good, but the spores' were not high.
At the end of the flrst quarter of the
race Titusville was one ahead, but lost
five in the next quarter. The third
quarter was won by Titusville with a
margin of three targets. In the last
string the Oil City sharpshooters settled down to business and defeated the
local by six targets, thus winning the
match hy seven targets. The scores of
Saturday were not so good as at Oil
City two weeks ago. Lay, Jr. and Andrews were tied for flrst honors with
eighty-three targets each. Huff and
Lay, Jr. did not shoot below twenty,
targets in any string. Oles shot the
best event of the matcn by breaking
twenty-four out of twenty-five.
In a practice shoot at the end of
the match Ley broke a straight string
of twenty-five.
In the match of two weeks ago, the
Titusville team broke 434 targets
and the Oil City team 431. Saturday
the former broke 3S5 and the latter 392.
Thia makes an average of-81.9 per cent,
ior Titusville and 82:3 for Oil City,
truly a remarkable/race considering that 2,000 targets were thrown in
tbe two matches.-
Now *hat Titusville and Oil City have
each won a match the tie" will, according to agreement, be shot off on neutral grounds. The place ot the shoot
has not been< decided. Both Emlenton
and Tionesta bave been 'suggested, but
neither is thought exactly available.
It. is possible that, the mjeeting may be
held as an opening event on the new
grounds Qf the Oil City team at Reno.
The Oil City gentlemen were entertained at supper at the Mansion house
Saturday night by the Titusville club.
Following are the scores:

Fish  Plate and  Heavy Piece of Iron
Upon     the     Rails—Attempt     to
Wreck a Street Car.
Seemingly by the direct intervention of Providence a railroad wreck
that must have assumed a terrible
character was averted Sunday morning. Obstructions, calculated to wreck
train 4, due ln Titusville from Buffalo
at 2:44 a. m., were placed on the
Pennsylvania track half a mile from
Rouseville.
Bert Deitrlch of this city, the well
known one-armed employe of the National Transit company at the Rouseville pump station, ln company with a
friend, Frank File, started to walk
from that village to a tank half a mile
north, from which oil was being
pumped. When nearly to the tank
they found the obstructions." A flsh
plate had been spiked to the rail bn
one side and. a heavy piece of railroad iron was fastened upon the otber.
The work bad been done in such a
manner that a wreck would have been
almost certain if it had-not been discovered In time. The men removed
tbe obstructions and reported the
facts to officials of the railroad company. An investigation will be made
in the hope of developing the Identity
of the miscreants.
It would appear that someone in
that vicinity is bent upon wholesale
murder. Early Saturday evening a
switch was turned near McClintock-
lyille, on the line of the Citizens' Traction company's road to Rouseville. A
heavily loaded car dashed in upon a
side track, but was stopped before any
damage resulted.

LEFT ON THE DOORSTEP.
What Mr. and Mrs. Barney Pennell of
Athens Township Found.
A few evenings ago a loud knock
was heard at the door of Mr. and Mrs.
Barney Pennell of McGinnett. On answering the summons a peculiar looking package was seen bn the porch.
On Investigation lt was found to contain a girl baby, evidently but a few
days old. The babe was to apparent
good health and spirits ln spite of the
one-sided bargain to which it had been
made a party. The person in whose
care the child had previously fallen
was evidently not entirely without
scruples, as to his duty, as a small
amount of money had been placed In
the package, along with a note which
read: -"Take good care of the child'
and you will receive $5.00 each month."
The babe is bright and pretty and Mr.
and Mrs. Pennell have suddenly become the subjects of considerable envy
because of their find-,, especially among
some families in the neighborhood who
have not been so fortunate as to have
children of their own.
