VISITING
ROYALTY.

connection Herewith, have been the
cause of considerable comment pro and
con, and the propriety of the Presidents
conduct has been seriously questioned
upon the floor of the house. Glancing
backward we find that there have been
few really royal visitors who have
visited this country, and each of them
has been accorded warm reception,
both at Washington and in New York.
Louis PHILIPPE D'Orleans, later king
of France, came across in 1896. Being
afterwards Joined by his brothers, the
royal refugee toured the country,
President Washington obligingly a.
ranging the itinerary, and it was upon
this trip that the royal guest lost his
heart to yankee girl, who, however
failed to reciprocate. Later on the son
of this exile also visited this country,
and in 1861 his grandsons, the Comte De
Paris and Duo De Chartres received
cordial welcome from the government
at Washington, the two brothers being
made members of General McClellan's
staff, and remaining in this country un-
til June, 1862.
Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spain
and Naples, was received rather coldly
in 1915, and nowhere in this country re-
ceived the social recognition which he
expected. The same is true of the
other members of this family who
visited our shores later.
When the present king of England
paid us visit in 1860, he was balled,
wined and dined at Washington, New
York and Philadelphia ,and was the guest
of President Buchanan for some time.
He was accompanied by group of
noblemen who were not overlooked in
the social events. The ball given in
his honor in the Academy of Music
was attended by 5000 guests, and over
a million New Workers escorted him
through the streets of the metropolis
upon one occasion.
The Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia,
was escorted across by an imposing
squadron in 1871, receiving an elaborate
and magnificent reception, being pre-
sented to the president Immediately
upon his arrival, and later being the
guest Of honor at ball and banquet
given in New York, but being partici-
pated in by society from all Of the
principal cities.
George, the sailor prince of Greece,
and present governor of Crete, has also
visited this country, and was warmly
welcomed, though his entertainment
was entirely spontaneous, no set pro-
gram being followed.
Thus we see that there is ample
precedent to justify President Roose-
velts conduct in extending welcome to
a brother of the great ruler of friendly
nation, Notwithstanding the toy balloons
sent up by irate editors or members of
congress.

RELIGIOUS STRIFE IN LIMA CARRIED
TO ALBANY AUTHORITIESA
PASTOR UPHELD.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TsIsrSr

Rochester. Sept Behind the action Of
the Rochester Presoytery yesterday in refusing to
accept the resignation of the Rev A. K Bates of
the First Presbyterian Church of Lima is a
story of religious strife in that village over the
division of school money. The decision of the
presbytery reached the expressed desire
of the great majority of the Rev. Mr. Bates's con-
gregaton. many of whom Were present at the COM
nittee meeting at which the question was consd-
cred.
The cause Of the trouble in Lima is of no small
that it has assumed the Importance OF a political
issue in the village. A member of the presbytery
gives the following account OF it:
The situation at Lima is Just this II has been
the custom there for many years for the school
moneys appropriated by the State to be divided
between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants'
schools. Inc former denomination maintains a
large parochial institution in the village whose
pupils number many as If not more than those
who attend the regular public school The Rev
Mr.. Bates. pastor of the PRESBYTERIAN church
for eighteen years, has placed himself in a promi-
nent position in the village affairs, and when an
over to the public schools alone he at once gave
his assent and assistance to the proposition and
opened with the Department of Public Tnstrlction
in Albany. The result OF this action was the i'm
mediate formation Of a strong opposition and as
several influential members Of Mr. BatesFs church
engaged in business they felt that hIs action
had prejudfced some Of the townspeoule against
them, with results of an undesirable character.
by him, but he nevertheless decided to offer his
resignat ton which was finally brought 70 the at
tenton OF the presoytery, with the result that It
was IeIuSeu ny unanimous vote. 1t Is understood
that the state Department has DELAYED paving the
school money over as demanded without division

Public instruction will make known his decision

the weather hot; the minister was tired. As he

strife. So that which began as a wearisome sacri-
