shortly after breakfast the parson found his royal
highness deeply interested in a sporting paper.
instead of retiring Mt once, as any man Of tact
would have done, the clergyman forced himself
upon the prince.
"Might | ask your highness il such a paper
as you are reading really interests you?' said he.
II am not in the habit. sir OF reading what does
not interest me-" said the prince, very rigidly,
and then turned again to his paper.
The parson, however determined TO have his
say. continued in somewhat dramatic tone
OF voice:

on his return from Richmond, Va, and was
escorted from the Clmden station 10 the Gilmor

ner, who commanded the Guards, was blum
old soldier. intensely American, with most pro
nounccd democratic ideas. After the battalion
reached the hotel Mayor Swami, who had the
prince in charge, invited the officers into the
hotel parlor TO be introduced TO his royal high
ness. OF course, Colonel Warner was the first
10 he so honored Advancing toward the prince
he arasped his outstretched hand. and, giving
il vigorous shake exclaimed:
'Mr Wales, am very happy to make your
acquaintance, sir.'
The officers of the Guards stood sghast at this
extreme cordality on the part Of their com

the face OF the prince: but. giving the colonel
humoredly expressed his pleasure az the compli.

When they speak Of the Inauguration;
hut you are wrong, my worthy friends,
Twas simply the tribute OF this nation,
That knows how to appreciate good thing.
You may talk about that demonstration,
But we know well you're only Jealous
That il wasn't a Bryan ovation,
You may say what you will, but 'tis the truth,
You are cross and mad as March hare
Because the Republicans wouldn't let
Bryan sit in that coveted chair
Had he been there we all know well
You would try TO paint the country red,
But ii Bryan got there you may be sure
The American people had-hctter be dead
Not so with Mckinley, for he's the man
The people have selected 10 be
The ruler and saver of this great land,

ENERAL DAYS ago Senators
Plat and Depew declared
~ through the newspapers that
if the president should ap-
point Colonel w. G. Sanger, Of New
York, assistant secretary of war. as
he had been requested to do by Sec
retary Root they would fight dhe
nomination when it came to the sem
ate for confirmation, and the inference
drawn from the tone OF their remarks.
especially from those Of Senator Platt,
was that they would teach the presi-
dent a thing or two concerning the
ma ajesty of senators and the danger Of
rutiing senatorial feelings.

state senate districts against a Platt
candidate and came within an ace of
being elected. Secretary Root had

were on terms of the closest intimacy.
