EVEN EGGS AND SAUSAGES.
Razors, Cologne and Many Other Gifts
to the Prince in Chicago.
Chicago Inter Ocean.


The elite OF Chicago. assembled at the
Auditorium and the First Regiment Arm
DRY last night, were not the only persons
to pay homage to Prince Henry Of Prus-
sia. The countryside around rallied as
IL for a donation party. In came a flood
Of presents designed to promote the COM
fort or adornment of the distinguished
visitor. Old whiskey and new eggs. per-
fume, cigars and 'razors were among the
gifts for royalty.
Two packages came to the Auditorium
Hotel by express containing eggs, with
the assurance that they were laid yes
terday." One package was sent by far
mer who must surely be wag. for II bore
the direction. From Rudolph's hennery
to Prince Henry" and inside was a note
from the sender in woodstock Ill. say
ing that he was satisfied the Prince could
get no fresh eggs in Chicago. He had
been there himself and knew from expe-
rience. Another case OF eggs was receiv-
ed from a rural admirer in Waukesha
county, wis, but there was no name at
tached, although underneath the address
was written: These eggs were laid yes
terday."
II wish they were laid in the gutter"
remarked Hotel Clerk Shafter, for this
thing is getting to be mo joke.
Some Of the packages sent TO the prince
were from practical jokers, while others
appeared to be meant as genuine pres
ents Miss Mayme Whitaker sent a bot
tie of cologne. tied with a pink bow. In
a note attached she told Prince Henry
that he might expect a note from her to-
morrow.
A wag sent German silver match safe
filled with safety matches. The hotel clerk
examined the present carefully TO see
that no Internal machine was connected
with the matches.
An iyory-handled razor was among the
presents. and although all the pictures Of
dicate that he did not use that article
very often, the sender expressed the
greatest solicitude lest he might enter a
barber shop and suffer at the hands OF
some anarchist who is an enemy to his
government.
One box addressed His Royal Highness
Prince Henry Won Prussia" contained an
assortment of sausages, which the sender
warranted were better than any manu-
featured in the Fatherland.
A denijohn of rye whisky was among
the gifts, with a warning to the prince to
be careful of his health and not eat too
much at the banquets given in his honor.
The writer Informed his highness a little
of the contents of the bottle taken after
meals would be a good aid TO digestion.
There were wines, candy and cigars
among the assortment, and when the
gifts were all carried to an anteroom ad-
joining the princes suite the room looked
like country grocery store. Some OF the
packages were sent by special messenger
and others by express. The clerks at the
hotel are wondering when 1t will stop.

Some Experiences At Nashvale
o4fter Being Captured


The old. Confederates are much delight
ed in reading the close calls published in
your paper. But few Of us missed them,
If we did our duty Some how, was al
ways unlucky, as I could never get sick
or be on detail when there was fight
on hand. To give all, Of what / thought
was close calls with me would require

was with that retreating western army
under Generals Bragg's. Johnston's and
Hoods foot cavalry" was with CEN
eral Stevensons division on detached
service to help General Pemberton sur
render Vicksburg on 4th Of July, 1868.
After being exchanged reJoined General
Bragg at Chickamauga. From that time
I never lost a days service until captured
at Nashville on the 10th OF December, 1864,
the last fight that General Hood made.
After our line was broken on our left, and
a retreat ordered, with many. comrades,
in making to the rear, ran into a division
Of drunken negroes just meeting us at
top of ridge. l had on a. pair of Yankee
pants. One negro ordered me to pull
them off, remarking that I had stolen
them from some of their dead men. II
was very cold. 1 hesitated a moment;
the demand was again made. i began 70
tumble to unbutton, taking care not TO
raise my roundabout coat for fear they
would discover my pistol in the belt un-
derneath. Just at this moment white
Yankee with a batch of prisoners came
UP and ordered me to 60 with, him 10 the
rear. You can't imagine the relief In my
feelings. l took an impressive look at
that negro's features, and have been
looking for him ever since. My regiment
was some distance to right of Franklin

WASHINGTON BALUsTRADE.
The Claimant for the Original DIscov
cry Repeats His Story.
n. y. Letter % roy WINE.

A writer in The New York Times
makes an ingenious attempt to discred-
1t my discovery Of the Washington bal
ustrade, being evidently jealous that It
should have been made by Troy Times
man. He does not, and dare not, openly
contradict, but attempts by giving
false date to throw suspicion. For IN
stance. he says that I date my discov-
cry in 1864, whereas I gave no date.
1 do not remember the year. but 1t was
long after that. Again, he quotes LIZ
braridn Kelby thus: ''Mr. Kelby says,
etc. The reader is naturally led TO sup
pose that Mr.. Kelby has just spoken,
whereas he has been dead several years.
Were he alive he would be my witness.
but his words even as quoted by my
critic only show that the balustrade
came from Bellevue, where I discovered
ii and then wrote him to secure 1t. III
KeIby reclaimed 1t and then placed It
in the hands Of Architect Hunt for pub
lie use, as my critic suggests, and If
Hunt retained it until called for-all this
has no bearing on the case.
My critic makes but two points con-
corning the balustrade-first, that IL
came from Bellevue. and. second. that
1t is now in the Historical Society. This
is simply a repetition of my statement,
but he does not like to admit that a
Troy Times man discovered it. He says
it was well known to many to the
manor born" but If so. why was 1t not
reclaimed until / notified the Historical
Society? The critic is evidently about
asscorrect in his vaporings on this sub
feet as he is in his quotation from
Shakespeare. The latter never wrote
Ito the manor born" but he created a
Polonius whose style and verbiage are
wildly recalled by my New York Times
critic. Indeed. while reading the first
sentence in his article I could almost
hear Polonius exclaiming to Hamlet,
MY lord, 1 have news to tell you!"
and yet nothing so very new after all.

Projected Russian shipping HountIes.

London Commercial Intelligence Il
Russian shipbuilding is to be promo
ted by loans free OF interest for 20 years
up to half the value of the ships, on the
condition that the vessels are to be
Russian built from materials entirely
Russian. Government insurance is to
be effected at very low rate, and last,
but not least, Russian ships of ten
knots speed and upward that use Rus
sian coal are to be refunded half the
cost of their fuel in working between
Russian and foreign ports. This means
that Russia's naval budget will be in
creased by so per cent, to say nothing
Of the quality of the work turned out
in Russia. If an article is not produced
IN Russia at all, IT viii in future be
bought by the government at home,
whatever the price. The Russian ar
gument is that such a policy, although
costly, is not a worse way Of spending
the nations money than the mainte-
nance Of an army or navy, but is on
all tours with IT as a measure Of na-
tional protection. In each case, it is ar
gued, the individual member of the
community pays mis- share; in the for
mer case to help establish national in
dustries which, in the course Of time.
will be a source of strength to nation
whose mighty natural resources large~
ly lie neglected, in the latter case to
provide weapons Of defense and offense.

Alabama Chen MastS of
Sunken Spanish Ships

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 12.-The
committee on naval AFFAIRS In the, house
Of representatives graciously donated to
masts taken from captured Spanish bat
significant side-swipe at Alabama's most
famous living son, Captain Richmond
Pearson Hobson. Captain Hobson took
the masts from the sunken ships, one In
Santiago harbor and the other in Manila
bay, and he started the movement TO nave
them shipped to Montgomery to be used
as a flag pole in the old capitol grounds
there, but the naval committee struck out
his name from the bin by which the state
comes into the possession of the priceless
relics.
One OF the uasts is from the Don Juan
d'Austria, and 1t still bears the marks
Of Dewey's shells. The other is from
the Almirante Oquendo and Schley's vic
tory Is recalled by the ragged shell marks
on it's sides. When the UnitedN States
government decided to have these two
vessels raised Captain Hobson was select
ed as the naval engineer to superintend
the work. 4t
First he tackled the oquendo at santi-
ago. After this task was completed he
journeyed to the other side of the world
and raised the wreck of the Oquendo.
Remembering his native state he laid
aside bit of each wreck as gift to her.
This gift, the spars, he shipped to the
United States and, with the consent OF the
navy department, forwarded them on to
Montgomery when he reached his native
land again.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1902-04-17

The spars were not yet the property
Of the state They were merely loaned
by the navy department. But Congress
man Wiley, of the Montgomery district.
introduced a bill at the beginning Of the
session, giving the title to Alabama.
The bill was framed in these words:
BE 1t enacted. etc-That the lower
mast taken by Captain Richmond Pear
son Hobson, of the United States navy,
from the captured Spanish battleship
Don Juan d'Austria, at Manila, and the
topmast from the Almirante Oquendo. at
Santiago de Cuba, be. and the same are
hereby, donated by the United States to
the state of Ala bama, etc"
In reporting the bill favorably TO the
house the naval committee struck out the
words by Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson" and thus deprived the hero OF
the distinction which would have been HIS
had his name been left in the bill. Why
the committee did this Is not known.
Perhaps they were influenced by the red
tape rules. of I navy department. May
be, too, they had heard of Hobson's as
pirations to run for congress and did not
want to give him the little boost such
mention Of his name would AFFORD.
The state Of Alabama will get a clear
title to the masts, at any rate. They
have already been raised in the capitol
va - and have attracted considerable at
tention from visitors. The flag which
floats from the tip Of the masts is the
first flag of the United States to float over
Santiago Cuba. It was the flag raised
there by General Joe Wheeler. Wheeler
gave 1t to Alabama.
