Colonel DUNCAN is an Ohioan, and bears

He is quite an entertaining character. and

eddy that one would mistake him for
Virginian or Kentuckian. For some time
prior to his coming 70 Washington TO

Great luck has recently befallen Col.
Irvine DUNCAN. a clerk in the Office of
the Second Auditor for the Treasury De
partment, in the form Of a legacy which
was willed TO him by an uncle in the
West in most unexpected manner.
Rather a queer coincidence is connected
with the receipt Of this fortune by Colonel
DUNCAN, in that he was one Of the per
sons who was confronted by and answered
The question What would you do with

committee consisting OF members Of
a number Of German societies and or
CARNATIONS of this city. have called a
meeting OF Germans and German-Ameri-
cans for next Tuesday evening at the
Rathskeller. corner Eighth ard Streets
northwest. TO make arrangements for a
serenade and torchlight procession in
honor OF Prince Henry OF Prussia.
A number OF preliminary meetings have
been held during the past two weeks at
Bessler's Hall, on Pennsylvania Avenue.
at which the matter was informally dis
cussed. No final decision has been ar
rived at by reason Of the adverse atti-
tude OF some OF the prominent German
societies, which contend that inasnuch
as the prince, while in this city, is the
guest Of the nation and the German Am
bassador, as every moment Of his stay in
this city is engaged. and as Ambassador
Won Holleben has not stated his desire for
the proposed demonstration, II would be
improper TO force the matter where it
may not be entirely acceptable
Alleged to seek Notoriety.
1t is charged by the latter that there
are a number OF Germans who. ry agitat-
ing the matter, simply seek to advertise
themselves. and are expecting TO receive
a decoration or some other recognition at
the hands OF the prince for their display
OF loyalty and admiration.
IL was stated at the SaenEeTbund last
night that its members decided at a meet
ing not 20 participate In any demOnstra-
ton OF any sort in honor Of the visiting
prince unless they were assured of a
hearty welcome by those who have charge
OF the official programme of the enter
tainment OF the prince while in this city.
Mr. Bessler, at whose place the prelim-
mary meetings were held. said last night
that he expected there would be about
1000 Germans in line Speaking OF the
attitude Of the SaengeTbund. Mr.. Bessler,
who is also a member OF a number Of
German societies. and who IS one of the
moving spirits in the proposed torchIight
procession and serenade, caid:
Well you know, the SaeEgerbund is
too high-tOned; they don't want 70 stand
outside on the pavement and sing: they
want 10 be invited in and sing Ia the
presence Of the President OF the United
States and the prince; that's Why they de-
cllre 10 take part"
