HARVARD
MAN
August Wilhelm, of Germany,
to Study With Roosevelt
Boys.
WAITING FOR WEDDING DAY
Kaiser Chooses Harvard Because It
Opposes Monroeism and Has Ger
man Professor About Young
Prince's Love Affair.
BERLIN, Aprff 10. (Special.) In spite
of the Xmpross' fear of the Pateraon an
archists. It is oy no means certain that
a son of the Kaiser 'will not be sent to
America to finish hli education at Har
vard; the Question Is rather whether It
is to be Prince August "WUhelm or Prince
Oscar.
(Both the princes are now at Bona TJnl
Yerslty, where Professor Burgess, of
Columbia University, New York, during
the Summer term will give a course of
lectures on American constitutional his
tory for their benefit.
At first it was reported that Prince Os
car, the younger brother, would be se
lected, owing to Prince August Wilhelm' s
engagement to Princess Alexandria Vic
toria of Schleswig-Holstein, his cousin;
but now it seemes more probable that
Prince August WUhelm will be entered
at Harvard, and thereby hangs the fol
lowing pretty tale:
Prince August Wilhelm, at IS, fell des
perately In love with his cousin, but
when lie confessed to tils parents his pas
sion for her, they sent him back to his
studies, telling him be was too young to
think of love.
Bitterly disappointed, the prince went
bade to college, but soon afterward he
learned that he was In danger of losing
his princess to a grand duke who was
about to propose to her. Be Immediately
left Bonn without leave and went straight
to his father. He told the Kaiser that he
could not think of Princess Alexandria's
marrying another, and must have her
himself or be driven desperate.
Fully convinced that Prince August
was genuinely deep in love, the Kaiser
promised to Intercede for him with the
princess' mother. The Empress also gave
her consent on the condition that the
marriage should not take place before
1909.
It was therefore arranged that the
prince should devote the next two years
to his studies, and he will perhaps go to
Harvard early In lflOS.
Harvard has been chosen by bis father
for several reasons. Both President
Roosevelt and Ambassador Charlemagne
Tower (a great friend of the Kaiser's!
are Harvard men. - Harvard makes a
specialty of German subjects. Professor
Muensterberg. an eminent German teach
er, is on the Harvard staff, and Harvard
Is an anti-Monroe center. The prince la
also likely to have as college mates both
Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., and his brother
Kermlt. which will be very agreeable to
his imperial father.
BEARDED BY SUFFRAGETTES
British Premier Has Amusing Expe
rience on French Kailroad.
LONDON. April SO. (Special.) How two
suffragettes" bearded the British Pre
mier, Sir Henry Gampbell-Bannerman, on
the Riviera express, is amusingly de
scribed by one of them, Miss Gawthorpe,
in a letter to the Women's Social and
Political Union.
With Miss Kenney, another leader of
the movement, she was traveling to Can
nes and met Sir Henry Quite accidentally
In the dining car. The two "aufferaget
tes" introduced themselves to the Prime
Minister and got him to talk. miss Gaw
thorpe writes:
"Sir Henry was sitting down in the
dining car waiting for Ills tea and looking
abstractedly out of the window. Annie
Kenney and I also went Into the dining
car and 'spotted' him Immediately. We
sat down at the same table as he did. and
ere long we were all engaged In conver
sation. "He did not for a moment suspect whom
he was speaking to, and he replied to
casual questions put to him on ordinary
subjects quite cheerfully for about ten
minutes. Annie epoke to him quite pleas
antly, but the humor of the situation was
too much for me, and I could not help
laughing. This appeared to surprise, and
puzzle him.
"After a time I said, T guess you dont
know who we are!' He looked at us for
a few seconds and then said, 'No, you
have the advantage of me.'
"When we revealed our identity to him,
be appeared hlgly amused, and then we
tried to draw him into conversation on
the votes for women topic. He refused
to enter into the argument for some time,
but eventually said. Ton should adopt dif
ferent tactics. With that we bad to be
satisfied,"
PRIESTS. FORCED TO RUSTLE.

other a Wine Drummer.
PARIS. - April i& (Special.) That a
priest turns muslo hall artist Is a thing
hitherto unheard of, but It has neverthe
less happened here in France as a result
of the break between church and state.
Abbe Ozouf - was suspended - by the
Bishop of Caen for trying to instiute a
public worship conforming to the require
ments ' of the existing - laws of France.
Feelings ran high against him and he was
at last forced to leave the town, where he
had been a vicar for years and look for
another occupation. - -
He first took' a place as streetcar con
ductor, but the pay was poor and he found
the work uncongenial. ' As he bad an
agreeable tenor voice, and had a brother
in the chorus of the Paris opera, be came
upon the idea of turning his musical tal
ent to advantage. He therefore took les
sons, offered himself to an agent and has
secured an engagement as star artist at
a muslo hall, and will shortly make bis
appearance in public.
He is far from fcemg the only priest
who baa suffered from Che changed con
ditions. Divines by the scores have had
to enter -the general struggle for exist
encesome have taken to business and I
even know of one who has taken to break
ing stone. Another, reverend gentleman
bas become commia voyageur for a Bor
deaux wine firm, another has taken a job
as an agent for firs, of patent stove
manufacturers, and still another has be
gun a small laundry, where he may be
seen any day ironing shirts and collars.
BABY PRLVCESS GREAT DASCER
Children of Prince of Wales Under
Spartan Discipline.
LONDON. April 20. (Special.) Little
Princess Mary of Wales is extremely fond
of dancing, and . the weekly dancing
classes held at Marlborough House un
der the supervision of her mother, the
Princess of Wales, are the most Im
portant events in her life at present.
Both she and her brothers are living a
life of almost Spartan strictness. It is
doubtful if any other children In Great
Britain have a more simple or healthy
existence, in which an early bedtime Is
one of the prominent features.
Princess Mary has on more than one
occasion been sent to bed unusually early
for some childish fault. She refused to
obey her governess on- one ocaslon and
when the latter threatened to tell her
mother, she replied:
"I am a Princess, and I shall do as I
like."
But when her mother was informed of
the Incident the latter said:
"You are not a Princess today, but only
a naughty little girl,' and the sequel was
rather painful.
The Bummer dancing classes have just
begun at Marlborough House, the town
house of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, where the Little Princess has for
her companions at the weekly classes,
the children of Lord Desborough. Lord
Burghclere - and Lord Salisbury. The
Prtnoe and Princess of Wales are usually
present at the dancing lesson and take
great Interest in their daughter's progress.
BLACK HAND SEEX IN SICILY.
Murder in Island Throws Light on
Crime In New York.
PARIS, April 20. (Special.) Recent
"Black Hand" crimes in New Tork are
closely connected with a murder which is
being investigated by the Palermo police.
Nunzlo Minora, is held for the murder of
a wealthy man named Marchese, whose
relatives hired four assassins from the
dreaded Mafia to dispatch Marchese 60
that they might Inherit bis money. When
Minors was arrested a quantity of Incrim
inating papers was seized at his cottage.
proving that he was concerned in a. num
ber of the "Black Hand" crimes In New
York.
One of Ml no re's latest affairs before
leaving New Tork for bis Sicilian home
was the kidnaping of the son of Antony
Eorzum, the New Tork banker. Minora
wa convicted of the kidnaping, but was
acquitted for lack of evidence on the
charge of murdering Salvatore Lungo,
who assisted the Bozsum boy to escape
from the house In Brooklyn, where he
was confined.
Much correspondence has passed be
tween the New York and Palermo police
relating to Minore's career and the con
nection existing between the "Black
Hand" and Mafia" societies. Informa
tion supplied by the Palermo police has
convinced the New York authorities of
Mlnore'e guilt of the murder of Lungo.
Minora is now about to be tried for the
murder of Marchese in Palermo.

QtTEEWS. LETTERS IS JjAWSTOT
Duke of Rutland Seeks to Prevent
. Publication by Brother.
LONDON, AprB 20. (Special.) Queen
Victoria's letters, their privacy or pub
licity, was the subject of a dispute at law
between the Duke of Rutland and his
half-brother. Lord Cecil Manners.
The letters concerned were written by
Queen Victoria to the late Iuke of Rut
land, a Cabinet Minister and a personal
friend of Her Majesty. In his will the
Duke left all private and family letters
written after 162 Cthe year of bis second
marriage) to Lord Oecfl, the eldest eon of
that marriage, the remainder going to
his heir, the present Duke. The old Duke
further directed his heir to destroy 'all
letters marked "confidential" except those
he thought might be useful as state docu
ments in the future. ,
The present Duke's object m going to
law was to prevent Lord Cecil from
publishing "confidential" letters from the
Queen to the old Duke. The oharacter of
some of these letters, although on polit
ical and not private subjects, might be
called "confidential" and the court had
to decide whether they could be held as
coming within the terms of the will and
should be destroyed.
Chancery Judge Joyce' has reserved his
decision on this point a very important
one from the standpoint of historians of
the Victorian era.
PEASANT'S GIFT TO EMPEROR
Poor Woman Emphasizes Prayer to
Francis Joseph With Sucking Pig.
BERLIN, April L (Special.) Some
short while ago, while the Emperor
Fran i Joseph was giving an audience,
a curious noise was heard occasionally
in the ante-chamber.
The Emperor sent one of his chamber
lains to Inquire into the origin of the
noise. He came back with the intelli
gence that a poor old peasant woman was
there waiting to see His Majesty on a
most Important jnatter, which she would
not communicate to anyone but His
Majesty himself, and that this curious
person held in her arms a tiny little
sucking pig decorated with pink ribbons
and roses, which she had brought aa an
offering to the Emperor.
Tbe Emperor ordered that sbe should
enter his presence at onoe The poor
oid woman, as soon aa she entered the
audience chamber; fell on her knees and
demanded pardon for her son, who had
offended his superior officer in some way.
The Emperor at once called an officer,
who telephoned to the barracks where
the son was in prison, and. finding that
the case was not serious, he at once
ordered that the man should be liberated
and given a week's leave of absence.
The poor old dame thanked His Maj
esty and with tears in her eyes offered
her present, which the Monarch had not
the heart to refuse, and for the rest of
the day squeals and squeaks could be
heard from the tiny porcine visitor,
which trotted about the ante-chamber in
search of its mother.

Canal Company's Many Side Issues
Huge Smokestack for 6ulphur
Fumee How Tobacco Man ,
Beat His Rival,
. BY TTtEDEBIC J. HASKTJf.
WASHINGTON. April 15. (Special
Correspondence.) The ability of the
American business man to keep up
with the procession and quickly ac-
commodate himself to changed condi
tions has had much to do with the de
velopment of the resources of the
country and has placed the United' -States
at the head of the nations in
everyday business. The Delaware S
Hudson Company has had an interest
ing history and Its story is Illustra
tive of this prime quality of American,
business methods. Chartered in 1828
for the purpose of constructing a canal
to connect the Delaware and Hudson.
Rivers, it soon discovered that there,
was business which could not be at-,
tracted by the canal, and therefore:
built a gravity railroad to feed Its
waterway with traffic.
It soon began . to use steamboats hv
connection with its business.. Then
came the steam railway, and the Dela
ware & ' Hudson built and acquired
steam railroads. Now it owns and
operates lnterurban electric lines be
tween Schenectady and Albany and be
tween Albany and Troy, ' as well as a
portion of the street railways in thoso
towns. It plies boats on Lakes George
and Champlaln. And its officers prom
ise that if airships shall be made prac
ticable the Delaware & Hudson will be
in the business.
Greatest of Smokestacks.
The gases from copper smelters are
fatal to vegetation and, under the old
method of baking the ore in great piles
or kilns, the trees were killed for many
miles around. To carry these fumes
and gases so high that they will be
dissipated In the atmosphere without
doing injury to the forests and other
vegetation, the Boston & Montana Con
solidated Copper & Silver Mining Com
pany has given a contract to a New
York company to build the tallest
chimney in the world for its smelter
at Great Falls, Mont. Only two struc
tures on earth are taller than this
ohimney will be, the Eiffel Tower, in
Paris, and the Washington Monument,
In the National Capital. '
The ohimney will be EOS feet high,
but, if this does not give a sufficient
draft to meet requirements. It Is so de
signed that another 60 feet may be
added. If this is done, the chimney
will be ten feet, seven Inches higher
than the Washington Monument. The
site of the giant smokestack la 8635
feet above sea level, and on account
of Its exposed location It Is designed
to .withstand a gale blowing ac the
rate of 125 miles an hour. It will have
an Inside diameter of 60 feet at the
base, and It will require one year to
finish the structure, the tubular brlctt
for wnicA will be made at the site
of the chimney. The tallest chimney,
now In existence Is at Freiburg, Ger
many, and is 400 feet high.
Four Tralnloads of Salt.
To meet the peculiar requirements ol
the salt market in New England, the
Worcester Salt Works at Silver Springs,
New York, recently sent over the Bos
ton & Maine railroad the largest single
shipment of any commodity in the his
tory of the world. It consisted of
10,000,005 pounds of salt. The train was
run in four seotions, two of which had
two locomotives to haul them. The
length of the train was miles and
it was made up of 286 freight' cars.
The shipment was reoeived by the Bos
ton & Maine at Troy, N. and taken
to Ayer, Mnws. where the train
branched out to its several destine
tions.
A small retail tobacco dealer was "up
against it" in a fight with a rich and big
ger competitor. The big dealer though!
to crush bis rival, and at the same time
win new customers by the Jbargain-day
method. He filled his window with boxes
of cigars marked to sell for 75 cents a box.
although they had cost him 90 cents. The
small dealer had paid a higher price for
the same brand and was selling them at
the regular price of 12 a box. He saw the
75-cent sign, gathered a few of his good
customers and sent them up to his big
rival's store with the money to buy cigars.
Beaten at His Own Game.
After he had a pretty good stock of the
other man's goods, he cut the price to
65 cents. The large dealer was confident
that the little fellow was committing sui
cide, but he changed the 75-cent sign to
read 66 cents. The little fellow sent more
of his customers over end got more ci
gars. The big dealer 'rubbed his hands
and thought he 'was certainly getting the
other store's best trade away from it.
The 66-centera went well for a -while, and
then, horrible rumor, the big dealer heard
that the little fellow had cut the price to
SO cents! He invlatl gated and found that
his own cigars were in the small dealer's
window, that the small dealer was losing
only 6 cents on the box and he was losing
40! The small dealer is still in the cigar
business In that town, and there are no
bargain-day attractions sold under cost
at either store.
Selling Buggy 61ght Cnseen.
The customer who will demand the most
thorough investigation in the store in his
own town, and yet who is willing to buy
"sight unseen" from a mail-order bouse,
is not unknown to retail merchants of the
smaller American dues, emd towns. A ve
hicle dealer in an Indiana town was at
tempting to sell a 166 fcuggy to a' custom
er. There was an hour's talk over it.
and then the prospective customer pulled
out a page of catalogue end said he be
lieved he would send for a $49.47 buggy
pictured therein. The dealer protested
that his 66 buggy was worth more than
the difference In price, that the freight
on the mall-order boggy would be 17 or J8,
but to no avail. Finally the merchant
said: "Well, to tell you the truth, I have
a buggy upstairs exactly like the one pic
tured in your catalogue, and I will let you
have it for $49.27, thus saving you the
JSSfMludea on fegy
