BROTHER OF THE KAISER Distinguished New Yorkers Gather at the Banquet Board and Sound the Praises of the Nation the Prince Represents EW YORK, March 8—Prince Henry was the guest of the Ger- man Society of the city of New York at its annual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria to-night. The Prince entered the small banquet- room on the Thirty-third street slde of the hotel about 6:30 o'clock, accompanied by the members of his suite in their uui- forms. He was recelved by President Gustav H, Schwab of the soclety and a gub-committee consisting of Hubert Gil- lis, Willlam Klenke, Adolph Rathbath, Ralph Trautman, E. M. Binghard, Julius A.

He remained in the room some time, conversing with the forty-five mem- bers of the general committee on recep- tion and entered into an animated cou- versation with Carl Schurz. Those of the Presidential delegation present were Rear Admiral Evans, Adjutant General Corbin and Colonel Theodore Bingham. JThe large banquet hall was beautifully draped, over the guest table belng two immense German and American flags around the German imperial eagle, which was studded with electric - lights. All around the hall were German and Ameri- can flags and blue banners with the names of each State of the Unlon. The table of honor was burdened with Ameri- can Beauty roses and smilax. The other tables were liberally provided with flow- ers. There were 750 guests in the hall when Prince Henry was escorted in by Schwab and the reception committee. All arose and loudly applauded the Prince.

In the minutes of the soclety we find an entry of that year accord- ing to which all members of the soclety, with thelr president at the head, and_with music and flags flying, marched down Broadway to Whitehall, Where they took a vessel for Gov- ernors Isiand and there worked during the day under the direction of the engineers and of the Mayor of the city in the erection of earthworks.

The German Soclety of the city of New York wishes your Royal Highness a long and happy life and a happy return to your dear ones. Gift to the Prince. At the conclusion of his speech Schwab turned and presented to Prince Henry a beautiful album on behalf of the city. He then proposed the health of the Prince and called for a “long may he live,” which was responded to with great warmth. The Prince was then presented to the diners. He wore the dress uniform of a German admiral and spoke in German. His address was very brief. He said the reception he received to-night was a new and additional proof of the friendliness and enthusiasm with which he had been received and regarded In every quarter of the United States he had visited. He ex- pressed his deep appreciation of the dem- onstrations of friendliness and kind feel- ing. He declared that he thought the German soclety would do much toward extending and improving the kindly senti- ment. Carl Schurz was the next speaker and his address was loudly applauded. He sald in part: I shall not tire u’with long historical dis- o quisitions, although o what In these days nas often been said, many falr words might be added about the lively sympathy with which Frederick the Great and with him all thinking Germans greeted the American war of inde- pendence and the entrance of the American re- of nations—in one word, public in the fami about the historic German-American friendship was contemporary with the birth of the United States and that it could not therefore be possibly older than it is. I would rather confine myself to that period of our history of which I have myself been a living witness. L Thesspeaker reviewed what German- born citizens had done for the Union dur- ing the Civil War, referred to the sympa- thy of Prussia with the Union cause, spoke of the present friendly relations of Germany and the United States, and con- tinued: And what has become of the goading and nagging attempts to stir up i1l feeling here and there, ascribing to the German Government designs to iIntrude as a land grabber into the American sphere and attributing to us here a ruffianly itching to see in conflict the new war fleets of the two countries—as if such a com- bat were only a football game between col- lege students. Has not every sensible person long ago dismissed these goadings as puerile twaddle? Likewise the well-worn legend of a threatening antl-American coalition of the Continental powers of Europe at the begin- ning of our Spanish war—a coalition said to have been under the leadership, or at least participated in by Germany, from which dan- ger some mysterious Providence had to save us—has recently died a somewhat Inglorious death, Wreath on Grant’s Tomb. Schurz was followed by President Nich- olas Murray Butler of Columbia Univer- sity, Frederick W. Holls and Rudolph Keppler. One of the most enjoyable fea- tures of the evening was the singing of well-known songs, including a number of German and American selections, by an especially trained chorus of 100 of the Leiderkranz Club. At the close of the dinner Prince Henry retired to his apart- ments in the hotel. Prince Henry breakfasted at the Wal- dorf-Astoria at 9 o'clock in the morning. After breakfast he sent Lieutepant Com- mander von Egidy of his suite to Grant’s tomb to place a wreath on the dead Pres- ident’s sarcophagus. The wreath was nearly nine feet in circumference, was made almost entirely of laurel and was tied with broad purple ribbons. Embassador von Holleben, Admiral von Seckendorff, Admiral von Tirpitz, Captain von Mueller, Captain von Rebeur-Pasch- witz and Consul General Buenz visited Columbia University to-day as represent- atives of Prince Henry, who was unable to make the visit in person.

Democratic Customs in This Country Not Yet Un- derstood. BERLIN, March 8-—A progressive newspaper that usually 18 not a particular admirer of the monarchy finds compli- ments for the way in which Prince Henry Las pleased the Americans. Dr. Barth of the Nation says: “He has acted as a free, modern man among ‘free 'men, without a trace of that narrow-souled haughtiness which junker- dom regards as the Indispensable eti- quette of rank.” , Prince Henry's tact,and good sense are praised here by all the political groups except the socialists, who continge their unpleasant criticism, averring that his re- ception was simply ‘‘wealth prostrating itself before inherited rank."” The Prince's democratic ways are looked upon with wonder by a soclety which regards the person of a Hohenzoi- lern as something almost sacred. It can- not be understood here how the Prince could shake hands with unknown and ob- scure persons. The incident of the Gov- ernor of Minnesota tapping Prince Henry on the shoulder and speaking familiarly to him is related with absolute amaze- ment. Yet there is not.the least criti- cism of American manners, such things being treatéd as quite proper under a republic. Summing up the results of the journey, not one of the papers assumes that it will have great political consequences, but nearly all of them agree that it will ceuse a permanent and more kindly feel- ing between .the two peoples, which is precisely the result that could do the most good. Some of the old journalistic enemlies of the United States find it difficult to re- strain themselves amid this festive period. The Kreuz Zeitung grants that the dem- enstrations are immense and that Ameri- cans never do anything in'a small way, but, the paper adds, “‘everything runs into the gigantic. Nothing more is really de- manded. Caring nothing for the intrinsic character of the achievements, the only requisite is to strike the eye and make an imposing appearance. ‘No deeper exam- ination is made.” The editor thinks this is ‘due “to the democratic conditions, where the crowd decides and transient moods control politics.” Prince Henry's home-coming is begin- ning to be anticipated. He will disem- bark at Cuxhaven, where, it s said, Em- peror Willlam will welcome him. The Ulk cartoons the return of the Prince’s party, showing them leaving a train in a dilapidated condition, Admiral von Tir- pitz yawning with fatigue and General vop Plessen supported by a servant, who calls for a doctor, saying, “Just back from America.” Lackeys are also shown carrying bales labeled ‘‘Addresses.”” The hospitality of the Americans to the crew of the Hohenzollern is referred to as be- ing like that of a promised land, where, if milk and honey do not flow, there is wine and beer in plenty and everything free when the men go ashore to a ball or a theater, the elevated roads, electric cars and ferries all costing them nothing, and it s further said that free beer is even seen on board the Hohenzollern. *The first installment,” said a member of the Hohenzollern's crew in a letter to his home, ‘‘was forty casks. Our only business is to drink, The city meets every wish of the crew immediately. Twenty- elght Invitations were recelved for the entire crew of the Hohenzollern, which can only be accepted after the first fes- tivities in honor of the Prince are over. The brewers almost quarreled for the privilege of sending us beer, and the Wagons carrying it were made especlally for us and were painted in the German colors, the drivers wearing a German livery. You would scarcely believe what the people offer us.” A CAUSE OF HEADACHE. One Very Common Cause, Generally Overlooked. Headache 1s a symptom, an indication of de- rangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult tq locate be- cause o many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; derangement® of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney dis- ease, lung trouble, eye strain or ill-fitting glasses all produce headaches, and if we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver. At any rate catarrh 1s the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches. There is at present no treatment for catarrh s0 convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remeGy in tablet form, composed of antiseptics like eucalyptol, guai- acgl and blood root, which act upon the. blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poi- son from the system through the natural chan- nels. Miss Cora Alnsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experlence with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: ‘I suffered dally from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to inca- pacitate me in my daily dutles. I had suffered from catarrh, more or less, for years, but never thought it was the cause of my headaches, but finally became convinced that such was the case, because the headaches were always worse whenever I had a cold or fresh attack of ca- tarrh. “‘Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly rec- ommended to me as a safe and pieasant catarrh cure, and after using a few fifty-cent boxes which I procured from my druggist, I was sur- prised and delighted to find that both the ca- tarrh and headaches had gone for Lo Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug- Bists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures), Tio oplum_ (so common in cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug.

Alec Smith stands at the head of the list of star contestants. His vic- tory was comparatively an easy one, as he was far ahead of Willie Anderson, his nearest competitor. Thus ends an entire week of brilliant golf, the most interesting and important season ever held on the links of Califor- nia, or, in fact, west of Chicago. Wet grounds interfered with the play and pre- vented high scores on one or two occa- sions during the week, but on the whole the weather was ideal for golf. The two amateurs, C. E. Maud and Walter Fair- banks, the latter having just won the amateur champlonship of the Pacific Coast, were well up with the profession- als at the finish, being fourth and fifth, respectively. Not wishing to sacrifice their amateur standing, they forfeited fourth and fifth moneys to the next near- est competitors. By this arrangement fourth money was given to David Bell, with a score of 337, while fifth money was divided between A. S. Baxter and H. M. Grindley, whose scores were 340. Follow- ing are the scores of the first eight play- ers In the order of their finish: Alec Smith, 314; Willie Anderson, 330; Willle Smith, 331; C. B. Maud (amateur), 333; W.

A DESPERATE CASE. OHICAGO, March 27th, 1901, . BILLY GORDON. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga. ENGLISH COPY FROM UNGLE SAM New Army Regulations Raise Pay of “Tom- my Atkins.” LONDON, March 8.—The new army reg- ulations proposed by War Secretary Brod- rick, providing for increased pay and other reforms, which have created so much comment, appear to have been di- rectly copled from the United States. Ma- jor Arthur Lee, M. P., formerly British military attache at Washington sald to- day: excellent book, though I do mot believe we have gone quite so far in that direction as we might, or hope We may. Under Mr. Brod- rick's proposed changes, a private in the Brit- ish infantry now receives almost as much as a private in the United States army. With this change, which 1 frequently advocated while military attache at Washington, we | hope to get a class of recruits similar to those secured in America. ‘Under the old pay we were gradually lower- ing the physical standard, yet syl finding it hard to get men, while our d tion percent- age was increasong at a rate which showed | there was something radically wrong wifh | the system. The American army was the only other volunteer enlisted boay in the world with which we could make serviceable com- parisons, the Continental armies, owing to 1y worthless as_examples. A year ago Mr. Brodrick pooh-poohed the 1dea of copying from the United States. Now he has changed his mind has done what the majority of the members of the House, re- gardless of party, belleve to be the very best thing that could have happened to the army since Mr. Cardwell (In 1872) effected his sweeping reforms. For the first time “Tom- my,” with everything “found”” and higher pay, will be in a better position than his agri- cuitural brother, and from that class wé cught Tow to get the best instead or the worst. Yes, it may hurt the agricultural interest, or what is left of it, in England, but I do not believe that this demonstration will be as serious as the evils which the change will correct. Not only 1s it interesting to note the influence of the American system in these sweeping changes, but they will have a tre- mendous negative importance. Last year the Government clearly indicated its fears that it to conscription. The present move banishes all possibility of this, for I understand Mr. Brodrick is willing to go even further in copying the United States’ excellent treatment of enlisted men and by liberal finance bulld up the standard of the army. The increase in pay means an addi- tional annual cost of about £2,000,000, but I maintain that it will be a direct saving of money, -for the better class of men secured will mean fewer men in the hospitals and prisons, as well as obviating other forms of wastage, and will quickly make up for the additional initial outlay. Some day, perhaps, we may be able to adopt the sensible plan of the United States of paying the enlisted men of all arms at.the same rate. But traditions here die hard. Paderewski’s Popularity.
