PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT.
He Snys He Never Worked SO Hard in His Life as While In the
 United States.

Cherbourg. France, March 19.-The steamship Deutschland. with Prince Henry of Prussia on board. touched at this port Monday, and proceeded to Hamburg.
 Prince Henry, speaking of his trip said he was so tired when he finally boarded the Deutschland at New York, that he slept almost continu- ously for As hours, except for the time he appeared foR his meals or to take short walks on the bridge. He said he never worked so hard in his life as when in the United States; that he never changed his uniform so many times day, or faced a sue cession of situations requiring such alertness and a certain initiative on his own part. There were situations which could not be met with merely formal behavior or the mechanical execution of a routine programme.
 While conyersing with members of his suite, Prince Henry has alluded to many things in connection with his trip. He has mentioned nothing more frequently than that no single unpleasant incident occurred in the United States. Ideas, scenes and inn pressions were crowded upon him too rapidly for proper appreciation at the moment, perhaps, but, as Prince Henry himself said:
 We have accumulated material to think about for months to come.''
 When one of his party inquired what had impressed him most, the prince replied that the great, order ly and cheerful crowds had been his most continuous impression, and probably always would be one of his most vivid impressions. The prince said he saw crowds out of doors and indoors-faces of men and women with here and there powerful, q beautiful or spiritual face.
 He said his regret, if he dared to say he had any, was that he could not know some of those people better.

He engaged counsel to lay the matter before the state depart ment, and also procured the assist ance of Senator Bailey As Bielen- berg is only vice-consul he was per mitted by the regulations to engage in other business.

The Appeal man has just received

investment of a few dollars. He de-
cries our present cramped condition,

for the rest OF our life. He is SO in

private business. All one man has to
do is to send telegram to the mystic.

a sample of his work; this seems fair,
only you pay for the telegram, and
that breaks the scheme, as he wants
one to get something for nothing, and
no one ever heard of the Western I'm
ion doing any BUSINESS for it's health
OF course, after the receipt Of the
first sample, all you have to do is to
invest $500 in his stock and you are
happy ever after, as he will hand you
out package that will keep you from
work for number of years to come.
You are not to write him letter under
any circumstances, as this might lead
to very unpleasant results to both par
ties, but follow the direction and the
cash will be yours. He winds up his
pleasant story trusting that you will
