NEW YORK. Feb. 25. An Immense
crowd had assembled In Battery Park to
do honor to the Prince and his suite, on

ashore he was greeted by the Mayor's
secretary, and as the party, consisting
of the Prince, Ambassador von Holleben,
Consul-General Buenz, Admiral Van Sant
and the legation attaches, walked Into
Battery Place there was a tremendous
outburst of cheering. As the carriages
containing the party were driven rapidly
up Broadway the throng which lined the
pavements and stood at the windows of
the tall buildings gave the occupants a
rousing welcome. At "Wall street an av
alanche of ticker tape almost covered the
Prince, who took it In good part and
saluted the crowds.
The Mayor and members of the citizens
reception committee were awaiting the
Prince in the Governor's room. General
Daniel E. Sickles, one of the reception
committee, appeared In the full uniform
of a Major-Gfeneral. Among the others
present were General Anson G. McCook,
General Charles F. Roe, Cornelius N.
Bliss, Oscar Strauss and Carl Schurz.
Following the Prince, as he entered the
room, were Admiral Evans and Admiral
von Tirpitz, Adjutant-General Corbln,
Ambassador von Holleben and other mem
bers of the suite. All were In full uni
" form, the Prince wearing the German Ad
miral's uniform with a wide orange sash
and decorations.
Mayor Low received the Prince Just
after he crossed the threshold of the Gov
ernor's room, and they shook hands. The
members of the suite grouped themselves
about, and General Sickles and Carl
Schurz were specially presented to the
Prince. The Board of Aldermen having
been officially notifled of the arrival of
the Prince, President Cantor, of the bor
ough of Manhattan, and the vice-president
went to the Governor's room and
were presented to Prince Henry.
The entire party then started for the
chamDer. The Prince's suite preceded
him, and took seats at the right of Presi
dent Fornes, of the Board of Aldermen.
As soon as they were seated the Prince
entered on the arm of President Cantor,
who formally introduced him to the
Board of Aldermen and President Fornes.
President Fornes briefly acknowledged
the Introduction. The Prince was led to
a place at the right of President Fornes,
his two attendants standing at his right,
while the Mayor moved to the left of
President Fornes, with Admiral Evans
behind him.
When they had taken their places Presi

Prince Henry: It Is my special honor to
request His Honor, the Mayor of New
York, to tender you the resolution passed
by this body, granting you the freedom
of the city."
Presented by JInyor Low.
Thereupon Mayor Low formally pre
sented the resolution, and in the speech
spoke of the charter granted the city of
New 1ork'jJy'G5vernor Dcmgan' in" 16S6,
and added:
"The freedom of the city, .which is now
to be conferred upon you, has not very
often been granted in all our history. If
It be now. In fact, but a form of words,
it is a form that signifies high regard and
genuine friendship for him upon whom It
Is bestowed.'
Prince Henry replied:
"Mr. Mayor, I am most grateful for the
kind reception I find here In this house,
as well as for the very kind words you
express on this occasion. I am fully aware
of the fact that it Is an exception that a
member of my family should have baen
offered the freedom of the City of New
York. I may add that I am proud of it.
It is the first city that many from the
Old World, going over to the New World,
meet and see. It is the city which has
been the asylum for many of my coun
trymen. It Is I am aware of the fact
the center of commerce. I was deeply
touched by the reception which I found
on the day of my arrival, as well as to
day, when I drove to the City Hall. All
of you know perfectly well that I am not
here on my own behalf, but that I am
here on behalf of His Majesty, the Em
peror of Germany, my beloved sovereign
and brother.
"I am sorry that I cannot pay you for
all the enjoyment I have found, but, X
think I am quite safe in saying that I
may offer you the friendship of His Maj
esty, the Emperor of Germany, and I
agree with you, Mr. Mayor, that I have
not come here to create a friendship, but
to carry on the old friendship which has
existed between our two nations and
which I hope may remain the same in the
future. I wish to thank you once more,
and conclude with my heartfelt thanks
for the kindness and for your offering me
the freedom of the City of New York. I
wish to add that Lwlsh the City of New
York everything that Is good for the fu
ture and every possible good wish for the
citizens of New York."
After the Prince had made his reply he
was applauded for some minutes, and the
official ceremony came to an end. The
royal party went to their carriages, and
with Squadron A as an escort drove tip
Broadway, through a line of enthusiastic
people, to Thirty-fourth street, and thence
to the Hohenzollern. The Hohenzollern
was reached at 5:30 o'clock. Along the
route from the City Hall to the yacht the
Prince was given a continuous ovation,
and the American and German colors

ropolitan Opera-House. It -was quickly

GERMANS BECOME ENTHUSIASTIC.
Newspaper Spending Their Profit
for Special From America.
BERLIN, Feb. 25. All day long crowds
stared at the portraits of President Roose
velt and Prince Henry, which hung side
by side In front of a newspaper office on
Unter den Linden. Part of the time this
crowd was so dense that the police had
to clear the way for traffic
Emperor William, who, with the Em
press, drove by the newspaper offices this
afternoon, noticed the portraits and ea
luted a small American flag above them.
Upon perceiving this the assembled crowd
applauded.
The Germans are slowly working up to
animation over the reception In the
United States to Prince Henry, and are
glowing with good feeling toward Amer
ica. Newspapers that never before re
ceived special cablegrams from the United
States are now publishing such messages.
One editor remarked that the entire Ger
man press would be without dividends
this year, and expressed the hope that
nothing else of equal Interest would hap
pen on the other side of the Atlantic for
five years to come. All the correspond
ents In the United States for German pa
pers agree upon the warmth of tho recep
tion to Prince Henry.
THE ENGLISH VIEW.
Tinge of Jealousy ia the Comments
of the British PresH.
LONDON, Feb. 25. A tinge of jealousy
Is observable In the comments of the
morning papers on the subject of Princo
Henry's visit. The Chronicle suggests
that the remembrance of the attitude of
Admiral von Dledrlchs In Manila Bay may
account for the languid curiosity of the
public In the United States.
The Standard finds nothing remarkable
In the proceedings, but thinks it will be
found that Germany and tho United
States are really better friends for the
visit of Prince Henry.
Tho Morning Post is almost alone In
displaying genuine enthusiasm over this
subject- The paper says:
"It Is not given to every one to "win
popularity in America, but Prince Henry
conquered at once. The yachtsmen of
every country will he grateful to Em
peror William and President Roosevelt for
the plcturesquo incident In the annals of
their sport."
It Broke "Cp a Banquet.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Amid a scene of
confusion, the banquet of the Georgia So
ciety was concluded at the Marlborough
Hotel. James B. Gray, second vice-president
of the society, was the last speaker.
He launched into an attack on the popular
demonstration accorded Prince Henry. The
diners were thrown Into confusion, and at
the conclusion of his remarks most of
them hurriedly left the room.
"I don't approve of this recoption, and
this great ovation of the American people
to a German paper Admiral, "which has
Itself denied scant credit to a read Admiral,
an American." Mr. Gray said: "It Is tne
height of flunkeylsm. Neither do I ap
prove of the sending of flunkeys by the
United States to the coronation of "a Brit
ish monarch."
Abnued the Germans; Head Broken.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23. Henry Kress, of
Union Hill, N. J., was beaten with a sy
phon, and is now In a hospital with a
fractured skull, because he maligned the
Hohenzollerns, and Prince Henry in par
ticular, in the presence of a German bar
tender. The latter was arrested.

LAUNCH OF THE YACHT
(Continued from First Page.)
President, the Prince and party were to
lunch, had it not been for the timely ar
rival of Chief Wllkle, of the Secret Serv
ice, who explained to the military men
Mr. Root's name and rank. There were
many similar Incidents. Order was not
fully restored -even when the Presidential
party had departed, and their progress to
the lunchroom was, therefore, slow. Hun
dreds of police present conducted them
selves with the utmost good-nature, and
acted as If their duty was pleasant.
The Shooter's Island arrangements for
the comfort of the guests were exceedingly
bad. No attempt. It seemed, had been
made to remove the thick coating of slush
and dirty snow on the roadways, and a
number of the guests remained on board
the tugs or other boats because of the
difficulties the ladies of their party were
called upon to encounter.
Lancheon on the Hoheaxollern.
From Shooter's Island the President and
Prince went to the Hohenzollern, where
luncheon was served. The guests were:

Kaiser's Gift to Miss Roosevelt.
Before luncheon, a golden bracelet. In
which la set a small picture of Kaiser
Wllhelm, was presented by Prince Henry
to Miss Alice Roosevelt. The bracelet Is
Btudded -with diamonds and other precious
stones. It was the gift of the Emperor.
Prince Henry, acting In behalf of his
brother, the Emperor, made a very brief
address on presenting the bracelet to Miss
Roosevelt, and she in return accepted the
gift with a few words. In which she ex
pressed her thanks and appreciation of tho
gift.
The Prince addressed the President as
follows:
"Mr. Roosevelt, you are here on board
as guest of His Majesty, the German Em
peror, and I really believe that it is the
first time that a President of the United
States of America has ever been on board
one of His Majesty's ships. Please God
it may not be the last time. I wish to
thank you heartily for the reception I have
bad, from tho first day I landed up to
this moment, and It Is my sincere and cer
tain Impression that there Is a strong feel
ing of personal friendship arising between
us. May it extend to the benefit of our
two great nations. I propose three cheers
for Mr. Roosevelt." (National anthem
played.)
The President rose directly to answer,
saying:
"I -wish to express my hearty thanks
for the kind words your royal highness
has expressed on my behalf, and I wish
you to understand that It is no empty
compliment when I say that your royal
highness has already won a genuine place
in our affections and good-will. I highly
appreciate the fact that His Majesty, the
German Emperor, has sent you to the
American people, and I thank you person
ally that you have taken a step which
must knit closer together the two great
nations whose friendship means so much
for the futurp welfare of the entire world.
To express finally a personal wish of my
own, I look forward with great pleasure
to the day on which I shall be your guest
In your capacity as Admiral on board of
one of your own battle-ships. (Cheers for
the Prince.)
Prince Henry's Thanks.
The Prince expressed his thanks to Miss
Roosevelt In the first place, for the truly
graceful way in which she performed th&
ceremony of christening the yacht.
"We sailors are said to be superstitious,"
continued the Prince, end, turning to
Admiral Evans, he said: "I believe, Evans,
we are not: but, however this may "be,
there will be a happy future to this craft
from the fact alone (turning to the builder
of the yacht), she was built by the hands
of artists, and was at her first appearance
on the water linked with, tho name of a
lady. We sailors are used to speak of our
ship as 'her,' and we keep and treat our
ships like our wives. I drink to the health
of 'Mls Alice Roosevelt,"
During the luncneon, cables were re
ceived from the Kaiser by Prince Henry
and President Roosevelt and Miss Alice
Roosevelt. Miss Roosevelt desired to re
ply at once, so the President asked for a
pad and pencil. He began to write the
mesBare, and had written a few words
when Mrs. Roosevelt smilingly took the
pencil from him and added a few words.
She then passed the pad and pencil to
Miss Alice, who completed the message.
Thus the cablegram to the Emperor was
the Joint production of the President, his
wife and daughter.
The luncheon was finished about 3
o'clock. At 3:10 President and Mrs. Roose
velt entered a carriage and were driven to
the Twenty-lhlrd-street ferry- They went
to their special train, leaving Jersey City
at 3:55 P. M. for Washington.
The President's departure from the Ho
henzollern was preceded by a pretty cere
mony. The President's flag flying at the
peak was hauled down and the sailors
cheered while the band played "The'Star
Spangled Banner."
Soon after the President had left the
ship Miss Alice Roosevelt walked down
tho gangway on the arm of Levi P. Mor
ton. The ex-Governor, with Miss Roose-

"Liberated Saturday night, village Gra
dlshar, near Strumnltza. whera village
Mayor led them 9 o'clock Sunday. Com
ing Salonlca tonight with House."
Then came the long-looked-for message
from the absent daughter and sister. It
reads as follows:
"Rlstovatz, Feb. 25. Charles A. Stone,
Chelsea.: Freed, thank God, and well
after our captivity of nearly six months.
Yesterday, Sabbath morning. Mrs. Tsilka
and her 7-weeks-old daughter Elena, and
I found ourselves left by our abductors
near a village an hour distant from Strum
nltza. For three hours we waited for
dawn, then secured horses and came to
this city. Kind-hearted Bulgarian friends
rushed from their houses as soon as they
caught a glimpse of the strange-appearing
travelers, took, us In their arms from our
horses, with tears and smiles and words
of welcome, and led us Into their house.
Word was quickly sent to the friends en
gaged in their morning service at church,
and they came, old and young, to greet
us, with thanksgiving to God for this
proof of Hl3 faithfulness to answer their
prayers, for all, even the little children,
had never ceased to pray for us, their
lost friends.
"Since that hour our waking time has
been crowded with friends from, the city
and surrounding villages, who have
brought us their heartfelt congratulations
for our deliverance. The Turkish Gov
ernment did not fall to question us as to
our experience. The Governor of the city,
with his suite, called this morning, and
again this afternoon, after the arrival of
Dr. House and his son from Salonlca, ac
companied by M. Gargiulo, the first
dragoman of the American Embassy at
Constantinople. The last threo have come
to accompany us to Salonlca tomorrow,
where Mr. Tsilka awaits his long-lost
wife and their baby. They have brought
mo a bundle of letters from mother and
my brothers and dearest friends. Thus,
with unspeakable gratitude to God and
to all friends, who, by prayers and gifts,
have helped to free us, we begin our life
of freedom. Your sister,

WEAK KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER TROUBLE
Had to Pass Water Very Often Day and Night.
Cured by the Great Kidney Rtmedy, Swamp-Root.
DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton. N. Y.
About two years ago I had a very severe case of kidney and bladder trouble.
The pain In the small of my back was so severe that I could not stand It to stay
in one position more than a moment or two, and was obliged to pass water very
often diy and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting relief. Notic
ing an advertisement In the Topeka State Journal of Swamp-Root, I determined
to give It a trial and bought a bottle. By the time I had finished the first bottle
the pain had entirely disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to
pass water ceased. However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six
bottles In all. That was over a year ago and I have had no return of the trouble
since.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease, therefore, when, through neglect or other causes, kidney
trouble Is permitted to continue, fatal results are sure to follow.
We often see a relative, a friend, or an acquaintance apparently well, but In a

"Three years ago I suffered with inflam
mation of the womb catrtfd by catching
a bad coli during menstruation. I had vio
lent pains in the lower part of the abdomen,
also along the spinal column, and frequent
headaches. At times my menses would
stop altogether and then suddenly I would
flow without ceasing.
I consulted my family physician and he
prescribed for me, but I got no relief. Read

McELwe's Wine of Cardui could do for such
a case I decided 1o try it and took it faith
fully for three weeks, when to my relief and
delight I found myself entirely cured and my
general health much improved."
