you have told me just now. / think like
you better, and this is saying a great
deal
1T Is readily to be seen that this settle
ment of question of etiquette could only
serve to strengthen the friendly relations
between them, and that Prince Henry is
keeping the words of his American friend
in grateful remembrance.
.'Prince Henry continued Capt Won
Mueller, 'is a sailor with all his heart.
Everything belonging to engineering has his
especial interest He is always thoroughly
acquainted with the engines In the ships
under his command, and at the same time
always gives his attention to the personal
welfare of the men in the engine room. AS
a sportsman, he is versatile. He Is fine
horseman, and he is a bicyclist and golf
player, too"
OF Prince Henry as sailor and sea COM
mander. Capt. Won Mueller said:
''The prince entered the naval service In
1877 like any other cadet. His first long
trip, being one around the world, he made
from 1873 to 1850 board the frigate
Prince Adalbert. His first trip in the ca
pacity of watch officer on board Of the
corvette Olga. In the years 1852 to 1884
brought him to the West Indies and South
America. In the summer Of 1887, when he
was twenty-five years Of age. he acted for
the first time as commander. as he was
made the chief of a torpedo division. with

or four guests, one Of whom was Chi
nese lord.
The first day out the officials and the
viceroy had their first and only tilt as to
who was in authority on that train. Frank
Thomson put his own luxurious car for
the earfs use when he started off from
New York. Another car that had a double
brass bed and bath and more comfortable
night equipment was to meet them at
Washington for the long journey. The
earl became attached to Mr.. Thomson's 8
car and didn't want to leave 1t. He said
he liked the open fireplace. It interested
MIN as novelty. He liked the chair by
the window-in truth. he said he wouldn't
go out OF 1T. The twenty attendants nearly
stood on their heads in fear, because the
baggagemaster calmly went on moving all
the luggage out Of the car. The inter-
prefer danced around like something mad
on the platform and told everybody in
stin language that it couldn't be done;
that the viceroy beheaded everybody who
disobeyed him. The yellow jacket had
been donned and the peacock feathers. but
the earl wouldn't move out of the car.
Things were getting mixed up when MIR.
Boyd said to him through the Interpreter:
ut is necessary for you to take the other
car. 1t Is better. You can't sleep In this
one and the other has everything arranged
for you. You will like it very much better
than this one"
II will not co. said the viceroy. Il
will keep this car
Then came the critical moment. The
ehtiie suite STOOD trembling Tor the re-
suit. All the thirty-fve sacred birds were
squawkfng on the platform, the royal cof-
fin was resting on the shoulders of the at
tendants and the train had to go on.
You cannot have this car" answered
Mr.. Boyd, land you must have the other
car. l know more about 1t than you do
and l am only thinking of your pleasure
when l tell you you must come with me-"
The interpreter could hardly be made to
repeat it, and the viceroy looked at the
official with a stunned expression, then he
shook his cane in Mr.. Boyds face and
said, Il will hold you responsible for this >
The next morning Mr.. Boyd was sent
for by the viceroy, who told him that he
was an honorable gentleman. that he had
perfect faith in him and that he never
spent such a comfortable night in his life.
That now he wanted this car all the time
1t was the finest he ever saw.

him from visiting the new world after his
return from east Asia
When Capt. Won Mueller's attention was
called to the various reports regarding the
friction which it was alleged had arisen
between Prince Henry and Admiral Dewey
at a dinner given by the former in Hong
kong. he laughingly replied:
"Oh, well a good many versions Of that
incident, and all of them wrong. have been
printed. / happened to be at that time the
personal aid-de-camp to the prince. The
truth of the matter is this, and l speak
authorita lively:
I'm the harbor of Hongkong the prince
had rendered a dinner to the commanders
of the vessels of various nations at that
time in the port On that occasion the
prince drank to the health of the SOW
ereigns and chiefs of the nations, the flags
of which were represented by the guests.
In the order of his toasts his first one,
next to that Of the German emperor, was
to Great Britain and the second to Rus
sia while the United States the last.
The reason Great Britain was named in
the first place was because the dinner
happened In a harbor of British territory,
the acting governor of which was one of
the guests
"A week or so afterward the prince was
informed by the German consul. Herr Won
Loeper who is now in Valparaiso that the
repre- sentative of the United States-name-
ly, Admiral Dewey-Was panied because
the prince had not put the United States
at the head of his toasts. contrary to the
international usage which demands the
order of the toasts on such occasions.
This usage is that the toasts shall be
given in the order Of seniority in commits
sion of the officers present. Dewey was,
in fact. in that respect the senior among
the guests. The prince did not hesitate to
seek an open. frank talk this question
of etiquette with his American comrade,
whom he highly esteemed
Apologies to Dewey.
when visiting the flagship Olympia, he
frankly told Dewey that he had convinced
himself that he was wrong and that Dewey
was right.
"And Deweys reply was this: Well, sir;

The Charity Fund.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


l notice the statement that while there is
pressing need for more money for charity
fund. only 600 of the population have con-
tributed SO far this year. In my opinion it
is all wrong to depend on voluntary sub
scriptions for the relief of the needy. As
the above statement shows, it throws the
whole burden on the benevolent few, while
the great mass bear none of it.
In all civilized communities it is an ac-
knowleged obligation of the public to re-
l1eVe the necessities and prevent the suffer-
ing or those who are in need through no
fault Of their own. The proper way to do
that is to pay for 1t out of the public fund
Then all will bear their fair proportion of
the burden, and in no other way can that be
accomplished.
The two organizations now existing. the
Associated Charities and the Citizens Re
lief Committee, can be intrusted with the
expenditure of the money now In fact
as they know from experience about how
much is needed annually its expenditure
could safely be intrusted to the Associate ted
Charities alone, which has the means for
investigating each individual applicants $
case. and there would be no further need
for the Citizens RELIEF Committee All that
is necessary would be for the Commission
ers to include in their annual estimates an
item or -- dollars for the relief fund.
This would not increase the burden on the
community a cent. 1t would simply dis
tribute it equally among the taxpayers of
the District.
As | have always contributed | feel that
can properly make this suggestion. for it
is lmmaterial to me whether l give it vol
unfairly or pay it in the shape of taxes
Moreover. this plan would not prevent the
giving of money by the benevolent of the
Weather citizens, the same as now and of
which we have had several examples this
winter.
IL church property was taxed the same
as other property that of itself would pro-
vide fund nearly if not quite sufficient for
the purpose. AS to the justice of taxing
church property there can be no question
1t was SO clearly demonstrated by the
statements of speakers In the women's con-
Nentlon, that no further argument would
seem to be needed on that point. The jus
t1ce and propriety of 1t Is now admitted
by many of the clergy AS the churches
enjoy precisely the same benefits as other
property In the way of improved streets
sidewalks. police and fire protection water
and gas mains, electric conduits &C. &c,
there Is the same reason precisely why
church property should pay taxes the same
as any other property, as l have long con-
tended.
why not adopt these two plans, both of
which are fair and just to all-why not?

After his return from China the prince
was entitled to a longer furlough, but,
through the unexpected retirement of a
senior admiral, he was obliged as early
as the fall OF 1900 to take an active COM

you that 1t is unostentatious. His residence
is the royal castle in Kiel. During the
summer, If duty does not call him to sea,

and that in a similar and easier style than

Hemmelmark, he owns several country
properties In the provinces of Brandenburg
and Posen."

stature, looking in his general appearance
very much like his father, the late Emperor
frederick. He wears shortly-trimmed whis-
kers, the expression Of his face being gener-
ally serene.

BIG MAIL FOR THE PRINCE.
Messenger Astonished at the Amount
Which He Found

The messenger from the German embassy
who went to the post office yesterday for
the Sunday mail, official and personal,
directed to his royal highness, Prince
Henry, and his suite. received a severe
shock. He had provided himself with
small mail sack and asked for the mail,
with the mouth of the sack held open in
front Of the special delivery window. The
clerks inside had been struggling with
Prince Henrys mail for a week and the
sight of that small pouch in the hands Of
the messenger almost made them angry
When they finished with the German en-
voy from the embassy he had two sacks Of
malone In buff leather pouch Of the
largest side and the other in a canvass
pouch Of the size used for newspapers 1t
appeared that all the Germans in the
United States had found occasion to write
the prince and express their good WILL But
the messenger was equal to the occasion.
From his bearing 1t would have seemed
that he had two huge sacks of mail every
Sunday. He merely walked to the door,
dragging the mail along the tile floor whis-
tied to a cab and piled the two sacks aboard
One of them almost hid the driver. The
other almost crowded the messenger out of
the cab AS the cab moved across the
avenue the straight back OF the driver, the
sway of his shoulders from side to side and
his complete superiority over the others Of
his craft manifested to every one on the

and to pay his respects. The list of callers
was ended with the mayors party, which
Included himself and his private secretary
The German consul general at New York
and his suite formed part OF the German
ambassadors party.
About an hour was spent by the prince
in receiving his callers and in making an
admiraYs inspection OF the troops and crew
of the Hohenzollern. Then followed q lunch
The prince invited to this luncheon those
of the Americans among his callers who
represented the navy, and besides these
there were at the board the members of
