it is controlled by consummate art. The
child who refuses to believe the things
he reads in it is no true child, but a sad
little cbangeling for whom it is useless
to try TO do anything. We are sorry for
the small reader who is in any way
abashed when the whale, carrying the
shipwrecked mariner in his stomach,

up the beach, opens his mouth to say,
Change here fer Winchester. Asbuelot,
Nashau, Keene and stations on the

Fitch the mariner walked out of his
mouth" OF course, he did. Every self
respecting child knows that that is what
any shipwrecked mariner would do when
he got chance to run home from the
inside of a whale. The style of the book
is as quaint as are its Incidents Where
another writer, talking about the begin
ming of things, would mention the first"

Kipling talks about the High and Far

| ~ EVERAL of the most prominent
Washington newspaper men were
~ participants in the great civil
war, the victors OF which We're so
Hospitality welcomed in Washington this
| week. And all of them bore themselves
palIantlv in the struggle The most dis
tinguished Of these newspaper veterans
Is Gen. Henry Van Ness Hoynton, a
brigadier general in two wars, ana
famous throughout the country as one
of the Oldest and best Of Washington
correspondents. General Boynton served
in the Western armies during the civil
war, particularly distinguishing himself
In the Chickamauga and Chattanooga
campaigns. Since the war he has taken
keen interest in the history of those
remarkable campaigns, and Is considered
the best authority on the story of those
greatest battle days of the war. He mas
for some years been chairman OF the
Cbickamauga Park Commission. and has
the historic features of that field.
Thirty-three years utter he surrendered
the commission as brigadier general
which had been given him by Abraham
Lincoln: he received another one-this
time from William Mckinley. 1t is in
teresting to note that his duties in the
Spanish American war took him to the
same section of the country-the Chat
tanooga region-with which he became
familiar In the old war, and to which
he devoted so much attention after that
war. General Boynton did not get
to Cuba, but if he had gone he would
have eQualed if not excelled the ex
ploits of Gen. Joseph Wheeler. whom he
resembles in appearance and in ire
pressible energy, a. whom he far sur
passes in executive ability. When the
general was '''off to the Spanish war"
the newspaper boys equipped him with
a handsome horse and sword, and were
nightly glad" to do it, for the general
is as popular as he is prominent in the
fraternity. Afterward it was jokingly
asserted, in the generals presence, at
a newspaper high jinks, that he had
"sold the horse and hooked the sword"
| do not know about the horse, but we
all know that the general preserves and
prizes the presented sword.

"REMINISCENCES OF NEWSPAPER MEN,

| For many years he was chairman OF the
press committee in charge of the Sen
ate and House galleries. In that ca
pacity he put up some fights that we're
about as stubborn and determined as the
more bloody ones Of the ''unpleas
| antn ass" And they were all to protect
the privileges enjoyed by the craft. His
determined resistance to Speaker j.
Warren Keifer will be long remembered.
The eX-Speaker tried to defame and de-
grade Boynton; the result was that
keifer was driven from Congress for
ever. For some years the general has
been president of the Washington
Board Of Education, and here also has
done some good fighting to secure ac-
curacy in historical and geographical
text books.
On the other side was Col. l. Quin-
ton Washington, kinsman Of this coun-
wearer of the name. He was here as
an officer of the State Department un-
der the presidency of James Buchanan.
His sympatEies were all with his native
State. He offered to raise a Confeder-
ate company in Washington. and was
afterward commissioned an officer of
Virginia State troops, with which he
served until transferred to diplomatic
work. For this he was signally we'll

service to the cause that lost. Some
time after the war he came back TO

capital his home. He was for many
years correspondent of the New Or

quent contributor to the press, although
his age and health have in recent years
prevented his former activity.
Then there is James Rankin Young,
now member of Congress from Philadel-

in the Washington reportorial ranks.
While a student at the Central High
School at Philadelphia in 1863 he en-

Capt E. w. Brady. of the Baltimore
News, has very fine army record. He
served as volunteer from Indiana in
the civil war and made good name as a
soldier. He afterward entered West
Point and graduated near the head of his
class. He saw several years service as
an officer of the regular army, and
finally. while in Texas, resigned to enter
politics. Those were the days wneu
the carpet-bag fiourished in the Lone
Star State, and Captain Brady had his
eye on the United States Senate. He
was elected delegate to the constitu-
tional convention which revised Texas
organic law after reconstruction, and
ably led the Republican minority in that
body. The Democrats, however. re-
covered control of Texas, and Captain
Brady retired gracefully from politics in
that region. He next entered newspaper

career. He was the first managing edt-

Shooters Island in anticipation of the
arrival of the distinguished visitors pre-
sented the appearance this morning of
a military encampment rather than the
scene of an event of international COM
ity. Two battalions OF naval militia
reached the island at o'clock and were
posted at various points between the
landing stage and the scene of the
launching they were supplemented later
by a squad of petty officers and sailors
from the Hohenzollern who though not
under arms, presented a military aspect.
Police swarmed everywhere over the
little island and the snow covered hills
of Mariners Harbor, across the XIII, was
manned by 250 policemen. Out in the
bay revenue cutters, naval tugs and po-
litical patrol boats manned by naval mi
1itia and blue coats darted about to keep

WHO'LL PAY THE COSTS?
County Commissioners Won't Allow
the Redden Claims.

The board of county commissioners
has decided not to allow the costs in
the liquor cases prosecuted by Assist
ant Attorney General A I. Redden.
Judge Redden SO far has submitted
no bill for his costs but the costs in the
cases before Justice of the Peace Dis
ney will revert to the county for pay
ment and when they do the commits
sioners will refuse payment. 1t is ex-
pected that the action of the commits
sioners will cause a, suit to be brought
for the payment of the costs. The
ground taken by the CON missioners in
deciding that they will refuse payment
is that Judge Redden took his cases
before Justice of the Peace Disney
which is a court where fees are charged
when he could have brought his cases
in the city court, salaried tribunal,
which would have saved the justice and
constable costs. Several cases against
persons living in, Silver Lake were tax

WHITE HOUSE DINNER
Closes Prince Henry's First Day in
Washington.

Washington, Feb. 25-The dinner Civ
en- to Prince Henry by President Roose-
Welt at the White House last night closed
the honors bestowed on the royal visitor
by official Washington Monday. The af
fair was on an elaborate scale, and
brought together most distinguished
company. 1t was an assemblage such
as has rarely. if ever, before gathered in
the White House.
To accommodate the large number of
guests, the dinner table was set in the
east room, the decorations of which
We're on the most magnificent scale ever
attempted. An effective and new fea-
ture of the decoration was the electric
light illumination. Several thousand
little electric lights of all colors and ar
ranged in fanciful design supplemented
the illumination from the great chan
delierS- They were hung in artistic
shapes from the tops of rhe large mir
rors and gracefully intertwined on the
smiIax with which they were covered.
A square canopy of them was hung
over the center of the room. directly
over the places occupied by the presi-
dent and the guest of honor and those
sitting directly opposite In the mirrors
and windows the electric light designs
were of stars and anchors, emblematic
of Prince Henry's duties sailor.
The general effect of the decorations
of the dining room was pink and white.
This was especially characteristic of the
immense table, which was formed in
the shape of a crescent, with the con-
cave side toward the east, where PreSi-
dent Roosevelt had his seat. Large
plates of white and pink primroses in
beds of ferns were placed at short
spaces sand between them were huge
crystal vases with punches of red and
white roses. Pink-shaded cande1abra
completed the decorations of the table.
On some of the mantels there were
large banks of pink and white azaleas.
with beds of ferns and other greens,
and on others there was profusion
of cany colored crocus, while from the
ceiling hung folds of smilaX and from
the chandeliers were festooned ropes of
the same material. caught between clus-
ters of electric bulbs. Back of the seats
occupied by the president and the royal
visitor We're draped from the top of the
window the German and American
flags. Music was furnished by the
Marine band, which played a number
of German and American patriotic airs
Shortly before sthe clock struck 8
Prince Henry arrived with Admiral Ev-
ans of the United States navy, in an
open carriage. As they left the eInbas-
sy a large crowd had given them a
warm greeting and they were accorded
a hearty reception by the large number
of people who had assembled around the
