HIGHLY PLEASED WITH THE TRIP Inspection of the Cadet and Post at Weit Point Exhibition of Hough Riding: at the Academy. NEW YORK, March 7. Prince Henry of Prussia today completed his tour, and is once more In New York, where he will remain until Monday, when he will go to Philadelphia. He was absent from the city for nine days, during which time his special train was within the territory of 13 states, and logged a total distance of 435S miles. He was greatly pleased with his trip, and tonight, through his aid, Captain von Mueller, issued a statement expressing his satisfaction at the oppor tunity which came to hhn and his" gratifi cation at the cordiality with which he was received throughout the country. Captain von Mueller said: "His Royal Highness is very much pleased by his trip into the interior of the United States. He is fully aware of trie fact that he has had only a superficial glimpse of a very small portion of the United States, and that he might perhaps have used his time to greater advantage had he remained in one of the larger cities of the East. But he is convinced, never theless, that, considering the characteris tics of his mission, the trip was the right thing for hhn to do. In making It he has obtained a. very fair idea of the vastness of the country and its resources, which the capital of the United States and the great commercial centers of the East alone could not have given him. (But more than this impression he values the hearty wel come which he met in all the places he went through, a welcome that showed him how the people of the United States everywhere understand and appreci ate the Intention of the German Emperor in sending him here. "The Prince made a speech in St. Louis, in -which he said he regretted not to have been able always to express his thanks to those who greeted him at the railway sta tions or who otherwise desired to show him their respects. He wishes to have the Intent of that speech conveyed to all those who In the course of the trip gave him such a cordial reception, and especial ly he wishes to express his thanks to those who, early in the morning, when he was not prepared and still in bed, welcomed him with music and cheers. "The receptions in the great cities of the South and Middle "West were more than he ever expected, and so were the recep tions in the East. But His Royal High ness Is equally thankful for what the smaller places did in showing him their goodwill, though the train at these places stopped only a few minutes, and frequently not at all." Prince Henry's last day on the special train -which carried him to the South, "West and East rivaled in Interest any of the others spent by the Prince on the tour, for it becran with a visit to Albany, included a. run In bright sunlight dowh the west shore of the Hudson River, and closed with a. reception-at the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was 2 o'clock when the special train departed from Boston, and daylight when it was climb ing through the range of hills that divide Massachusetts and New York. Albany was reached at 8:30 o'clock, and after the ceremonies there the Prince left at 10:20 o'clock for "West Point. The train had been transferred to the West Shore Railroad, and George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central Railroad, who lunched with him, was th guide who showed hi-m the historical and scenic points from the car window on the way down the river. At Wc.it Point. West Point was reached at 2 o'clock, and the Prince was received with the military honor due his place in the naval service of his country. Colonel Mills came to the station with a number of the officers of the academy, and with a troop of cav alry drove him to the parade grounds on the heights above. As the cavalry escort ehowed on the brow of the inclined road Knox battery fired 21 guns. The cadets, formed in six companies, were at once marched on the field, and the Prince, with Colonel Mills and their respective staffs, inspected them. Dress parade followed, with the Prince as reviewing officer. The cadets, in their handsome gray uniforms, kept their lines perfectly In snow that was shoe-deep, and their marching won the praise of the Prince and his officers. On the second time i? round the cadets moved at double quick, and once more their alignment was perfect. The Prince saluted, and his of ficers uncovered when the colors passed the reviewing stand. After the review the cadets were drawn up In close formation, and the Prince, ad vancing to the front of the first company, addressed them. He said: "I wish to congratulate you on your splendid appearance. I am happy at the chance of seeing such a splendid lot of young men. I must also congratulate your Nation on having the service of such a splendid lot of young men. I am given to understand that you are about to cele brate the 100th anniversary of the acad emy, and I trust the occasion will be a happy one. I rejoice at the chance of visiting this beautiful place. Again I thank you." The parade grounds were surrounded by a great crowd, and the entire review made an impressive picture. The day was bright and clear and the view of the river and surrounding country was excellent At the close of the review the Prince visited Memorial Hall, where the officers on duty at the Academy were introduced to him. He greeted them all very warm ly, and complimented them on their work. Leaving Memorial Hall, the Prince and his staff went to the riding school, where the cadets gave an exhibition of riding. The jumping feats of Cadet Heir, of the first class, attracted the attention of the Prince, and at his request Herr repeated the standing jump to the back of his horse in motion. The cadet landed safely on his feet and jumped oft again without losing his balance. After the display of rough riding the Prince was taken to the gym nasium, and a class of cadets went through their exercises for him. The parting call of the Prince was at the house of Colonel Mills, whom he re peatedly congratulated and thanked. He was so much interested in the post that he prolonged his stay 20 minutes beyond the time sent for his departure. Colonel Mills was Invited to ride on the special to New York, and rode with the Prince to the station. As the carriage, with cavalry escort, left the grounds, another salute of 21 guns was fired. The special left West Point 20 min utes behind schedule time, but made it up before Weehawken was reached. Agraln at New York. Consul-General Buenz and Consul Gelss ler met the Prince at Weehawken, and escorted him to the ferry steamer West Point. At the pier the Prince encountered a crowd of commuters, and they welcomed him with cheers. The West Point ran to Forty-second street, and landed its royal passenger at 5:50 o'clock. Captain of De tectives Titus and two detectives, a score of gunds and the mounted police were on hand to conduct,, the Prince to the Wal dorf-Astoria. The Prince had originally intended to return to the Hohenzollern, but the discov ery of a case of scarlet fever In the crew changed his mind. He did not fear in fection himself, but decided, in view of the fact that he is to meet a large number of persons during the four remaining days of his stay in the United States, that it would be better to go to a hotel. His flag will not be removed from the Hohenzollern until the steamship Deutschland, upon which he will return home, comes along side the pier and is ready to receive him. He will then board the Deutschland, re main on her and use her as his flagship. Prince Henry reached the hotel shortly after 6 o'clock, and retired at once to his apartments, where he rested and made preparations for the events of the night, which consisted of dinner at the Univer sity Club and a "kommers" at the Arion Club. Meanwhile, the entrance to the section of the hotel set apart for the Prince and his suite and attendants was closely guarded by policemen, and no one was allowed to enter. A crowd had gath ered on the streets near by, and when the Prince entered his carriage at S o'clock he was greeted with cheers. The Prince oc cupied a closed carriage. The members of his suite and his party followed in a quick drive to the University Club on Fifth avenue. The German Ambassador and the Con-sul-General, with General Nelson A. Miles and his staff, were the only guests at the dinner. The Prince met the president of the club. Henry E. Howland, In the reception-room, and after a few minutes of informal conference dinner was an nounced. The diners numbered 94. There were no speeches, and only three toasts: "The President of the United States," "The German Emperor," and "Prince Henry of Prussia."

Prince Henry and his party left the University Club shortly after 11 o'clock and drove to the Arion Club, where be tween 300 and 400 ex-students of German universities had prepared a typical "beer kommers." The hall of the club was tastefully and appropriately decorated. Dr. Karl Breck presided at the guest table. The kommers had been In progress for some time when the Prince arrived. Dr. Breck met and escorted him Into the hall and those present stood up and cheered the Prince again and again, while the band played an old German war hymn. Dr. Breck then delivered his ad dress of welcome. All the speaking was In German. The Prince, responding to the address of welcome, said: "Gentlemen: You have Just sung Ger man; above all. Bach of you is wearing Jn his coat the German black, white and red and the red, white and blue. Let vl& hope that German idealism, German speech, German song, German manners and German thought may be the binding link between our dear fatherland and the United States." After the speeches, the Prince remained for some time talking to those around him and showing much interest in the proceedings. Near midnight the Prince arose to leave. The band played the German national anthem. The guests cheered as he walked through the hall, escorted by Dr. Breck and, the rest of the party.

NEW YORK, March 7. "I am Informed from a trustworthy source," says the Ber lin correspondent of the Herald, "that the ultimate object of Prince Henry's visit to 'Washington, is tcybring about an agree ment by which Germany will be per mitted to maintain a large fleet in Carib bean waters to serve for the protection of the German settlers and property rights imperiled by the frequent revolu tions in the South American republics. "In official correspondence, the fleet of German warships assembled at La. Quay ra is styled as that of the American sta tion. Captain Stlego, of the VIneta, has just received tho title of Commodore, and will be commander of the South American fleet, henceforth flying his own ensign. Although the fleet was sent to Venezuela only for the enforcement of rights guar anteed to German capital and citizens, It already consists of five vessels, and it is Intended to steadily Increase this number. A difficult issue is the acquisition of a repair dock and coaling station. "The hope, is entertained here that no objection will be made to the maintenance of the fleet in the West Indies, because it is Intended to be entirely for defensive purposes and not to acquire territory. "Protection is desired especially because tho Berlin Government now undertakes the task of directing the German migra tory movement to South America. Here tofore the work had been performed by the Hanseatic Leagut and the Colonial Society. The bureau is at the home office, of whloh Count Bulow is ex-offlclo pre siding officer. It is mainly intended to induce German emigrants to settle in Ger man colonies, or, if they cannot be induced to go there, to settle in South America, where the home ties are still preserved."

This event will occur in May, and as It Is expected that a new Cabinet, and a stronger one, will be installed, it Is-hoped that the delay in the treaty negotiations will be very brief. REBUKED KING EDWARD. Clergyman's Remarks on HI Breir lnfr nnd Sunday Concert-Golujf. LONDON. March 7. There was a strik ing scene In the City Temple yesterday, when, during the 'course of his sermon, the Rev. Joseph Parker. D. D., the min ister, administered a pointed rebuke to King Edward, which was loudly ap plauded by the congregation. Having al luded to public houses as "trapdoors of hell," Dr. Parker referred to the King's recent brewing of beer while visiting Lord Burton. "Pray for me," said the divine, "that I may speak delicately, loyally. If the King brews beer, what can be wrong in the subject drinking It? What the King does is likely to be Imitated by others. His Majesty is more than a man, and must regard all questions from a kingly point of view. If the King goes to a Sunday concert, as he did recently, he deals a deadly blow to the Englishman's Sunday. The King cannot attend a non conformist place of worship, but he can go to a Sunday concert." This remark called forth cries of "Shame!" and Dr. Parker continued: "If the King, who is tho head of the church and defender of the faith, can violate the English Sunday, what can the people do but follow In his steps? I would rather give a great sum in gold than appear to be disloyal; but I cannot be disloyal to Christ, and it Is better that these things should be said." BRITISH ROYAL NAVAIj COLLEGE.

WELCOMED AF ALBANY PRINCE HENRY' AT THE CAPITAL OF NEW YORK STATE. Saw the Legislature in Session and Handled the Sword Preseated by Frederick to Washington. ALBANY, N. Y.. March 7. It was 12:25 o'clock when Prince Henry boarded his train at Boston this morning, and at 2:05 o'clock the train departed for Albany. The Prince retired at once. He was at breakfast; when his train entered the railroad yards at Albany. He wanted to leave the table at once, but as the train was more than 20 minutes ahead of time a stop was made In the yard, where he finished his meaL At S:30 the special reached the Union Depot. Mayor Gaus and George Sard, chairman of the recep tion committee, were In waiting, and were Introduced to the Prince by Am bassador von Holleben. Governor Odell arrived about 10 minutes later, and in behalf, of the state bade the Prince welcome. The Prince was then shown to a carriage around which formed the smartly uniformed riders of Troop B. Stationed at various points along the route were companies of the New York State militia. The buildings along the route presented a brilliant appearance. German and American colors were draped over the front of the City Hall and the Mayor's office, to which the Prince was escorted immediately upon arrival. Enormous crowds lined the streets. Admission to both the City Hall and Capitol was by card, but poor Judgment had been exercised In issuing them, and In both places the crush was terrific, and many of those entitled to admission were forced back by the guards. When the party entered the City Hall they were escorted to the Mayor's office, where Mayor Gaus extended the formal welcome of the city and presented the Prince with an Illuminated parchment en closed In a silver case, granting him the freedom of the city. The Prince thanked the Mayor for the gift and said that he would greatly prize It. The party was then shown the original Dongan charter granted by Governor Dongan, 216 years ago. A short time was devoted to introduc tions, and then carriages were re-entered and the party proceeded to the Capitol. They were met at the eastern entrance by Adjutant-General Henry and escortea to the executive chamber, where Governor Odell and his staff were waiting to re ceive the royal visitor.

Mrs. Hall, of Larchmont; B. H. Odell. the Governor's brother, and the Rt. Rev. 'William C. Doane. Introductions then followed to the members of the Governor's staff. There were no set speeches. The distin guished visitor chatted with the Gov ernor for a few moments, expressing great admiration for the beauty of the Capitol. George Washington's Svrord. The sword presented by Frederick the Great to George Washington had been brought from the State Library for the Prince to examine. He said it gave him extreme pleasure to see and handle it, and that It ever should be guarded as the gift of one great General to another. The exhibition of the sword was attend ed by a peculiar Incident. When the will of General Washington was read after his death, it was found that he had willed his five swords to his five nephews, with tho proviso "that they should not be druwn from their scabbards unless In the defense of the country." Tho sword pre sented by Frederick the -Great has been strictly kept In scabbard, in compliance with the provisions of the will. When it was handed to Prince Henry he drew the blade from the scabbard. Of course, he did not know of the provisions of the will, but he had, nevertheless, Innocently vio lated them. No mention of the occur rence was made to the Prince. The Prince was escorted to the Senate chamber. The galleries were thronged In anticipation of his visit. Prince Henri' entered with Senator Horace White, of Syracuse, nephew of Ambassador White. The Prince and his escort remained standing while Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff descended from his rostrum and greeted His Royal Highness. He then escorted the Prince to his desk and formally welcomed him in these words: "It is my high official privilege and a very great personal pleasure to present .the Senate of the foremost commonwealth of the American Republic to his Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Prussia, whose diplomacy and good fellowship havo ac complished a peaceful conquest of the United States equal to any of the histor ic victories won by the sword of the House of Hohenzollern In the lands be yond the seas." Prince Henry was given a warm ovation, the Senators rising and clapping their hands for half a minute. When the ap plause had ceased, Prince Henry, smiling and seemingly very happy with his recep tion, said: "I wish to thank you most heartily for the kind reception met with here. It is one of the many acts of kindness which I have received during my stay in the United States at the hands of your coun trymen, and which I am not likely to for get." The; Assembly committee were then presented to the Prince and escorted him from the Senate chamber. Clerk Baxter, standing near the south corridor, an nounced in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Prussia." Immediately Speaker Nixon brought his gavel down heavily and everybody In the chamber arose. Tho Prince, with Assem blyman Alldls at his right and followed by his entire suite and the Assembly re ception committee, was escorted to the Speaker's desk. Speaker Nixon made a cordial speech of welcome, to which the Prince responded, expressing his appreci ation of his welcome. The Prince was ap plauded at the conclusion. After leaving the Assembly chamber, the Prince passed down the magnificent western staircase. On reaching the first landing he stopped, and after Intently looking at it for a time, he stated that it was one of the grandest he had ever had the privilege of looking at.

S EMPIRE MILUNA CO., AM FRANCISCO It is Responsible for the Pro longed Suffering of Many Women, When a woman K doctors " for years for a complication of ailments, and gets no better she is generally set down by the local practitioner as incurable. He has reached the limit of his skill and knowl edge, and he does not think more can be done than he has done. But when this sick woman is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, it proves that the doctor was certainly wrong in his statement of i'ncurableness. It also Eroves that he must have been wrong in is treatment; probably treating his pa tient for the wrong disease. His treat ment was mere guesswork. The conse quences of womanly disease are far reach ing. In chronic cases every organ of the body suffers. There is perhaps pain around the heart, and headache, back ache, and sideache among other aches. But the real cause of all the aches and pains is disease of the delicate womanly organs. This is proved by the fact that when womanly diseases are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the other aches and pains are cured also. "At the time I began taking your medicines I was very weak," writes Mrs. Bettie Payne, of Inlet, Va. "I had a tired, feeling all the time, could scarcely walk across my room, pains in heart, head and stomach and very bad taste in mouth on getting up in the morning, and also had uterine trouble. Four "different physicians attended me but only gave me temporary relief. I had almost given up in despair when one of your pamphlets was handed, to me. I sat down ana read it carefully, and then wrote to you de scribing my ailments. You replied, ad vising a course of treatment with Dr. Pierce's medicines. I sent and got six bottles each of ' Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I took each alternately, as advised. Be fore I had taken two doses of each I commenced feeling better. My heart and stomach felt relieved of that burden some feeling. By the time I had fin ished with the two bottles I felt young as visitors left at 10:30 over the West Shore for "West Point.

I took five bottles d 'Prescription' and three of ' Discovery,1 imd nearly two vials of 'Pleasant Pellets' for constipation. In conclusion will say I had taken three or four kinds of patent medicine before trying yours, which made me feel worse instead of -better. I think your ' Favorite Prescription ' ii the best medicine on earth for women. NO "WOMAN CAN BE WRONG in following the example of the thou sands of other women who have been cured of womanly ills by the nse of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. These cures cover every form of disease peculiar to women which is curable by medicine. No matter what the condition of nny sick woman may be "Favorite Prescription " claims her confidence and invites a trial of its healing powers because of its many remarkable cures of other women who had found no help in other medicines and who at the best found only temporary relief from the treatment of local physicians. The very fact that Fa vorite Prescription "cures forty -nine out of every fifty women who give it a fair and faithful trial is the best guarantee of its success. In the one rare case where a perfect cure is not possible, the use of this medicine will lessen pain and increase the strength. If it does not altogether remove the burden of sickness it will so lighten it that to bear it becomes easy! "It is with the greatest pleasure I write to tell you what your medicine did for me," says Mrs. Lizzie Grees, of Laurel Bloomery, Tenn. "About eighteen months ago L first wrote to you for ad vice; you wrote me a kind letter and told me what to do. At that time I was very sick and had been for nine months. Had ulcers and misplace ment of uterus and such a stomach trouble I could not eat anything without suffering afterward. Had pains around my heart, and such smothering spells could hardly get my breath. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, six of 'Gold en Medical Discovery ' and two vials of Doctor Pierce's Pellets. I began to get better the first day. My mends all say, 'How well you look.' I am well and do all my work, and it was Doctor Pierce's medi cines that cured me." WHAT IT DOES.
