Visitors to I<aiser's Yacht Bought
 "Fake" Keepsakes.
 NEW YORK, March 5.-The Yankee has found more than his equal in shrewdness in the German. Visitors to the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, awaiting the return of it's owners brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, have been buying fake souvenirs from some of the jackies who man the kali ser's pleasure craft, thinking all the while they were getting pieces of crockery and bits of the vessels fur nishings.
 Thousands of visitors to the yacht could not get aboard because of the crush, and when the closing hour came it was estimated that more than 2,000 went away disappointed
 It was while talking with one of the officers of the yacht about the trouble had with visitors, who cut and tore away portions of curtains and linen, that the deception practiced on the souvenir crazed visitors was learned
 Plates and beer steins bearing the name "Hohenzollern'' had been bought eagerly and at high prices from the sailors. It was learned that the enter priSing tarS had obtained these from the passenger steamer of that name that was lying at the pier at Hoboken when the yacht first arrived.

BILLY VESTS WILL.
It is a Surprising Document and Very
 Interesting.

The last will of William H. West, the minstrel, was filed at the surro- gates court, Brooklyn, yesterday.
 Many of his close friends will be as tonished when they read the full text of the document.
 For instance, Peter F. Daley, the brother-in-law and lifelong bosom friend of the minstrel, is overlooked. This is all the more astonishing in view of the fact that Daley was his companion and comforter, whenever possible, during that last trying year, after he knew his days were number ed
 Contrary to general expectations, the widow, Emma c. Hanley West, does not inherit the bulk of the prop erty, his half-brothers, Robert R. Flynn of Syracuse, N. Y., and John J. Fitzgerald of Auburn, N. Y., and his sister, Margaret E. Peabody of Auburn, N. Y, dividing between them two-thirds of the real estate, the wid- ow taking the other third and all of the personal property left.
 The will bequeaths to a nephew, William H. Flynn, gold watch, and to sister. Eliza Gibbons of Roches- ter, the sum of $1,000.
 Concerning the minstrel organiza- tion, maintained up to the time of his death, the testator says:
 Ut is my desire, and I request that my wife continue the show known as William H. Vests Big Minstrel Jubi- lee," as long as the same proves pro- fitable, and that she continue in the management thereof Sanford B. Ricaby, and that one-half of the pro- ceeds arising from each seasons busi- ness of said show be used by my said wife toward the payment of the in debtednesS upon the real estate of which I may die seized or possessed, until such indebtedness is fully paid 7
 The testator requests that his Mt Vernon, N Y., property, known as "Allerton Farm of which George H. Primrose is one-half owner, be sold within one year, provided that the ex- ecutors can realize from the sale not less than $5O,O00 for the testator'S in terest.
 The will contains clause which provides that any legatee or devisee contesting the will shall forfeit all provision made for his or her benefit. The executrix is MT Vests widow Real estate on Eleventh street, near Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is in cIuded ill MT Vests estate.
 The will was executed at Chicago, on December 31, 1901, and was wit messed there by Willis Hare of the Palmer house and Edward E. Gray.
 When West died a few weeks ago the value of his estate was estimated at $500,000. The property located at Philadelphia was inherited by West from his second wife, Lizette Morris, daughter of q former United States minister to Turkey. It generally was supposed that West merely held a life interest in this property, but the will seems to dispose of this impression.

1.-THE COLLEEN BAWN.
It Will Be Presented at Polls Theater
 On St Patrick's Night.

It was found impossible to secure the new scenery for the production of the drama .'The Colleen Bawn' which was to be presented at the City hall on St Patrick's night and as the produc- ton could not be made dramatic sue cess without that scenery, a change was necessary. Through very for, 1 tunate circumstances Polls theater was not engaged for that evening, and when the committee saw that there was q chance to secure it, that chance was embraced right away. There is now nothing to stand in the way of q very successful entertainment. It was the one great longing of the cast that they could get away from the City hall stage and put the drama on at Polls. Not that they do not like the old City hall, but everyone must admit that un- til new scenery and other stage appur- tenances are secured City hall will not be a very advantageous place to pro- duce any kind of a drama. There was joy, therefore, in the hearts of the young ladies and gentlemen who are going to present "The Colleen Bawn,' 7 and they showed it at once in the man. ner in which they made extra efforts
 
 various characters. It will be q pleas ure to them now to work for the suc- cess of the production for they know that if the play is not success it will not be through any fault of the theater. A good rehearsal was held last even- ing in St Patrick's block. and only the first act was rehearsed. One yied with the other to make each character q success, and everything bids fair now for q very great dramatic triumph. All wanted more tickets, too. and that the house will be sold out before the doors are opened looks now as certain as that the play will be a great sue cess. Reserved seats will go on sale a few days before the performance, and the rush seat business will be avoided. The general admission will be p cents and reserved seats will be extra, but the highest price will not be over 50 cents, so that there will be no one kept away from the performance be- cause of the price.

The Prince Sees Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Chicago which Prince Henry of Prussia saw at Light by the glare of many lights was presented to him when he awoke by the clearer light of the sun. The well come which he received at night was repeated and emphasized, and he was given further opportunity to enjoy his expressed desire to meet American cit izens at close range. During the day he listened to an address from the Gen. tral Bund of St. Paul, placed wreath on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park and enjoyed a luncheon and re- ception at the Germania club. The prince left the Germania club at l 80 and was driven directly to the Union depot. Crowds as usual lined both sides of the streets. At the depot he thanked Mayor Harrison for the pleas ure his reception in Chicago had given him. At ? p. m. the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul special train reserved for his highness and suit left the sta ton.
