Mary anderson and Prince of Wales
New York World.l

a gentleman who knew Miss
Anderson very well was asked 10y
the Prince of Wales to say that
he would be pleased il she would
indicate o time when it would be
agreeable to her to receive an in.
PRODUCTION to his Royal Highness.
She replied that while she wished
to show no disrespcet to the future
ruler Of England, she mu,t decline
to receive him. Such a reply had
never before been made to a re.
quest for an introduction by o
prince of the blood, and she was
asked to explain. "An introduc.
tion to the Prince Of Walcs,n she
pluckily answered, "can do me no

have gone this far in life without
a breath Of scandal attaching TO
me, aud ! do not mean now to do
anything that might change that
condition. ThiE settled the mat.
ter. The story got into London,
and was widely repeated, and it
was noticeable after that that the
Princess of Wales invited Miss
Anderson TO her garden party, an
honor she has never conferred on
any actress on the English stage.

Mr.. George said Northern far
mers don't conc South because
they don't want to come. The At.
lanta Constitution says they don't
come on account of their dislike
to the negro. The Post. Dispatch
says it is the abundance of cheap
prairie land that is the superior
attraction in the Northwest. and
that negroes do not stop anybody
from going to Texas. There is a

THE AMERICAN FORESTS.
Oily Thirty Yeas Before This will be q
Treelass Country.
philadelphia Times.l

Hlldutlpulu llHtH.
The wanton destruction of Amer.
lean forests was the subject of a
lecture by Professor Rothrock, Of
Philadelphia, to an audience com
posed Of the best known horticul-
turists aud scientific economists
in the city. His statements, based
on careful calculations of the de.
crease of timber land year by year
were startling. "The necessity
for curtailing forest destruction
said the professor, Involving as
it does the growth and deyel0p.
mcnt or the absolute decay of our
natural resources, is a question
that presents an issue to the ma.
tion and the individual that cannot
be disregarded." The lecturer
placed the limit of American for.
ests, at the present rate of con.
sumption, at less than thirty years.
Other horticulturists had decided
that twenty years would see the
country impoverished in it's timber
products. The nation could not
learn too soon that strictly speak
ing America was not a woodland
country. There were stretches
extending from the Mississippi TO
California and from Texas ta the
Great Lakes where forests were
almost unknown. 1t il possible
to travel from Maine to Texas
through an almost treeless region.
New Mexico. Utah and many more
of the Territories are particularly
without local woodlands. The
yearly consumption for fuel alone
had reached tremendous proper.
tons. William Little, of Montreal,
calculated that in twelve months
the saw mills of Canada converted
into lumber and fuel an amount OF
timber equal to the entire wood.
land of the States of Georgia and
Alabama, and in six months the
consumption was equal to the en-
tire growth Of Florida and the
Carolinas. The consumption fol
fuel in the United States alone
represented a sum equal to $500,
10000
1.-The yearly destruction of for
ests in this rountry." continued
the lecturer, chad reached AN cx
tent truly appalling in its magni
tude. Twenty millions of acres
is a low estimate of the destruc
ton. These figures represent al
area one.fourth the size OF the
British Isles, or as large as the
entire State of Indiana. Two
years ago the white pine growing
in the United States covered
eighty million acres. a seemingly
inexhaustible supply. But whel
it is remembered that of this area
ten million acres are yearly con
verted into lumber, aud that II
less than six years the entire white
nine product of the country vii
be exhausted, the crying necessity
for an embargo on the terrible de
struction of native woods can be
readily understood"
