Wales Was Ready for Him.

London Letter: They are telling the
following story concerning the prince
of Wales and wealthy American who
was much to the fore at Cowes. The
prince is fond of telling stories, some
of them, alas, no longer new, and be-
ing aware of this fact the trans-At-
lantic visitor considered that it would
be good method of winning the good
will of the arbiter of English society
to show warm appreciation of the
royal anecdotes. The prince. who is no
fool, was quick to detect this, and de-
termned to avail himself of the first
opportunity to show that he under
stood the little game.
The occasion soon arrived. The
prince was telling story, and hap
pened to pause before he reached the
point. whereupon the millionaire. in
his anxiety to please, exclaimed, with a
hearty, though not altogether natural
laugh:
"sr, that story just hit me-
''Yes," slowly replied the prince, II
thought it had missed fire.

Music FOR Nervousness.

to strengthen the nervous system. We

BIN etallism Still Has the Boards.

That staunch defender of Bryan and
the Chicago platform, Editor Norman E.
Mack of the Buffalo Times, is here to
add bis efforts to those of the advocates
OF Buffalo's great Pan American exposi-
ton of 1901. Mr.. Mack is the intimate
friend of many of the most influential
Democrats in the senate and house, and
it is fair to presume that his relations
with them will help along his work IN
behalf of the exposition enterprise. On
being asked by Post reporter at
Chamberlin's what he thought of the in.
terview of Senator Jones of Arkansas,
published in Sundays Post, regarding
the Democratic outlook, Mr.. Mack said:
II indorse all our national chairman
said in that very explicit and interesting
statement. The Democratic party would
not be true to itself were it to renounce
the platform of 1896. We are going to
reaffirm the principles promulgated at
Chicago without doubt. Because of one
defeat we are not to be cowed into aban-
donment of a cause that we believe TO be
righteous and in the interest of the whole
people. The fact that we were beaten
in 1883 was no ground for taking back
water in 1902; in that year We came out
boldly as ever and won.
"The cause of bimetallism is as strong
today with the people as ever. In fact.
the men who voted for it in 1896 are, if
anything, more devoted in their allegi.
ance now than then. Mr.. Bryan is as
much our leader now as in o6. and he
will be renominated without opposition. :"

DEWEY HEARD FROM.
Two Short Characteristic Dispatches from
the Admiral.

Two Short Characteristic Dispatches from
the Admiral.
Washington, Feb. 24-Secretary Long
brought to the cabinet meeting two ciph-
er kilograms from Admiral Dewey.
These were both dated at Manila today.
The first read:
"For political reasons the battleship
Oregon should be sent here at once"
The other read:
"'rhe Yorktown has arrived. The
Charleston and Petrol are cruising
around the Philippines Affairs are
more quiet"
Dewey's request for the immediate
presence OF the Oregon has created
comment and it is believed to have been
dictated by the attitude of the warships
of other natonallties in Manila bay.
On account of the lack Of shipping by
the insurgents it is certain that he does
not contemplate its use against them as
its deep draft and heavy armament rem
ders it useless against anything but its
own class The ships of Great Britain
and Japan are present but their friendli
ness precludes the possibility of them
being considered. Germany and Rrs
sia however have ships there and while
these are at present on amicable terms
the department believes that Dewey's
usual foresight has shown him that con-
ditions may change.
Such is his grasp of affairs no delay
will be made in granting his wish in re.
gard to the despatch of the Oregon
thither. The administration is we'll
