Now comes the Charity Doll Carnival, which is to be given at Battery Dee. 17 to 24, and a earnirel of dolls indeed it promises to be. Dolls of all kinds and sor-s, of all nations and styles will be displayed in various manners, and each will offer its little self for sale for sweet charity's sake.

Tbe ladies In' charge of the carnival started in with the- determination to secure 10,000 dolts, not one single doll less would satisfy them, and te that end one of tne most- systematic canvasses has been made, imaginable and the result is a most happy one. If 10.000 dolls are not on display in tbe big Battery the week of the It la very safe to say that a verv small fraction of that round number will he missing. Among those who have sent dolls and whose names will add considerable Interest to their dolls are: Miss Frances Willard, Mrs. M. M.

Wallace, who sends a soldier doll on behalf of tbe G. A. C. Whitton Stone. Derriet Dodd.

Miss O'Niell, and several other popular stage peonle have already sent in their dolls, while Richard M.inr.neld's. Otis Skinner's, and many more are anxiously being awaited for. Though tuere will be no end of dolls from celebrated people it is the fashion booth that too management expects to prove one of the Carnival's strongest cards. In this booth will be displayed the dolls contributed by the leading dressmakers, milliners, tailors, and so forth of the city, and in it will be found dolls dressed in every style imaginable, from the old-fashioned hoop-skirt down to the very latest thing. the pipe-skirt.

Boy dolls will be strong in numbers and little swells in evening dress and box overcoats will be seen without end Tbe society people have been most generous in their contributions, and handreds of exquisitely costumed dollies have been sent in. many of which cost considerable money. The charities to be benefited are all most worthy, and number among their frienda tbe most prominent people of the city. Tha charities are the Margaret Etter Creche, Chicago Charity Hospital, the Woman's Exchange, the Children's Aid Society, tbe Woman's Hospital, and the Young People's Home Missionary Guild of the Third Presbyterian Church. Once a year the Knights Templars of the t-ity of Chicago ask their friends to assist them in the noble cause of charity.

For this assistance the donors are invited to take part in a magnificent entertainment known as a "charity ball," which provides rare entertainment for those attending and offers a happy medium for the succor of the poor The ninth of these annnal Knights Templars charity balls will take place, as previovaly announced, at the Auditorium Wednesday evening. Like its predecessors, it will be an entertainment of rare interest and much pleasure. Like those that have gone before it, it will aid a worthy charity. But for this entertainment" special arrangements have been made with a view of making the ball more brilliant. more elaborate, and more attractive than any that have preceded it.

Extra pains have been taken to decorate the Auditorium, and one of the features will be a magnificent array of banners and flags typifying the Individual merits and splendor of the various commandertes, each organization having one or more boxes assigned to it, where it will make its temporary headquarters for the evening. Another feature, and one that is in the nature of an innovation, will be a system of calling and receiving at the different boxes by the members of tbe several commandertes. As the ladies have been largely instrumental in making this great ball a success, they will alio assist in playing tbe parts of hostesses In the eommandery boxes, and no doubt tbe thousands of Knights will pay fine homage to the ladies MRS ANDREW 'i 'j who receive them and do ibetr share in complimenting the fair sex for riving so mueh that Is chaste, tender, aad beautiful to the details of the function. One result of this system of eatllnr will be the forma tion and renewal of aowaamtaaees which, among Knirhts Templars, are of more than common worth. Tbe doors will be open at 8 o'elock, and at 9 o'clock there will be an exhibition drill by the St Bernard Cbfls-mandery Drill Corps.

This will interest and entertain and prove one of tbe features of the balL At 9:45 o'elock tbe fraud march will begin, led by Eas-lewood Commandery. As all tbe Knights sad their ladies will take part In this parade, for such It msy be called, tbe sight will bo an inspiring one.

The- train on the Illinois Central will run as far as South Chicago, on the Rock Island to Blae Island, and on the Northwestern to Evanston and May wood, stopping at all intermediate points.

ST REV. J. U. BSLDIXO. The year Is dying, tae winds are signing.

In cloudy lace tbe son his fees Is hiding- from tha worn. Aad genUe sowers in sylraa bowers No longer teem with beauteous fekeea Tbe fields lie dead and cold. The trees, all bare, with eraceless stars Stand forth like ghosts la sordid kosts the soldea sky. No dowers Wight, no sunbeams lixht. No south wind's purr, no wiatrs a whir Nor dart of butterfly.

The year Is dying, the winds are sbjhiar: Tbe frosty sir with anowflakes Oars; We wis a tor days sow fixL Then new joys come the chrysanthemum! Smiling as lords at bounteous boards They come when the year lies dead. Oh. chrysanthemum bold, in your innocent gold. In your burnished brews or crimson sows How full ye are of cheer Ye are beautiful stars like blood red-Mars Or Venus so white, or Jupiter brirkt. In folds all silken sad dear.
