ROYALTY INVESTS
MONEY IN STOCKS
New York Journal.

Widesnread is the belief that the
crowned heads and royal princes am
prineesses OF the old world are large
owners of real estate in this country
the late Queen Victoria and Empress
Eugene, in particular, being credited
with exceptionally extensive holdings
of building property in New York and
Chicago.
This is ii mistake.
/ But Slat is true is that these royal
persona es have large investments in
American railroads and mining stocks,
and in United States government
bonds.
Emperor William has about $4,O00000
invested in Union and Southern Pa
cific, Illinois Central, AtchisOn, Topeka
and other American railroad bonds.
His wife's private investments in rail-
road stocks here amount to 100000,
while the other members of the royal
house of Prussia, comprising Prince
Henry, Prince Albert, Prince Leopold
and the widowed Empress Frederick
are represented in American railroad
companies by another S2,000.O00
The ear has $6,000,000 wo. N of stock
in the Pennsylvania railroad, the New
Jersey Central, the New York Central,
the Canadian Pacific and the Northern
Pacific, which yield him handsome re
turns. the investments having been
made on the advice of his minister of
railroads, Prince HilkOff.
HilkOff was ruined as a young officer
of the guards at St. Petersburg, came
to America, and securing work on the
New York Central as a brakeman,
gradually worked his way up until the
/ death of rich relatives and the inherit
ance of large estates enabled him to
return to Russia and to turn to good
account in the service of the car the

addresses from the rear end of the

called upon Chief of Police Ripley and
asked him to detail a strong force of
detectives TO await Mrs. Nations ar
rival at the depot declaring she would
be IN danger from the mob that would
be at the depot
The chief tried to laugh the matter
on, but the women. were persistent and
he finally relented sufficiently TO prom
lse one lone officer. Only a veTv small
crowd was at the station. and the ar
rival OF Mrs. Nation produced no ex-
element whatever. She entered her
carriage at once and was driven to
Willard hall, I'VE squares distant. Here
a small crowO awaited her. She talked
strongly against the saloons and much
enthusiasm was worked up.
Denounces Chicago Saloons.
Mrs. Nation denounced the sale of
-AI0DA AL N4LtdSO ana asked all those
VINO were IL sympathy with her to go
OUT and destroy the saloons, as they
were illegal, no matter under what
sort OF laws they We're allowed to ex-
list
While in Chicago I will not ATTEMPT
to smash any Saloons, said Mrs Ma
uOn, but tomorrow. with two police
men, / intend TO visit as many of those
places as possible, and viii invite the
saloon Keepers to cometo Willard hall
tomorrow night and hear what 1 have
70 say ABOUT the WlckedueSs of selling
llGuor. l VIII also visit Mayor Harri-
son and Chief Of Police Ripley t0mOr-
rev morning and tell them what I
tn.s or city officials who will allow
SO many dives and low resorts to run
as prevail in Chicago If you can't
get rid or those crime breeding places
by peaceable means, why, j say, use
force.
All you women and men who believe
In God and our cause. arm yourselves
and go out and smash every one of
those hell holes that you can find.
Don't be afraid. The Lord is on our
side and VIII take care of you, no mat
ter whether You get arrested or not
Mrs Nation VIII leave here tomorrow
night FOR Topeka to stand trial for
Joint smashing"
Before entering the hall Mrs. Nation
declared that il was her intention to
get the saloon Keepers of Chicago to-
gether and talk to them. She was de-
termined TO 90 this, she said, if she
was compelled to remain in Chicago a
week in order to accomplish her pur-
pose.
Meets Grandson in Saloon.
At midnight, accompanied by a few
women, Mrs. Nation went into the
levee district. She entered q saloon
operated BY John Juertsch. He was
apparently glad TO see her and they
INDUCED in a quiet talk. As Mrs. Ma
tion entered the place a young man
embraced her ard cried out:
How are you, grandma"
The young man. who is manager for
Juertsch: was recognized by the cru
sader as bel husbands David Nation 81
