Berlin Feb 25.-Au day long crowds stared
at the portraits Of President Roosevelt and
Prince Henry, which hung side by side in front
OF q newspaper Office on Inter den Linden.
Part of the time the crowd was so dense that
the police had to clear n way for traffic EN-
peror william, who with the Empress. drove by
the newspaper office this afternoon. noticed the
portraits and sauted a small American flag
above them. Upon perceiving this the assembled
crowd applauded
The Germans are slowly working up to anima-
tion over the reception in the United States to
Prince Henry. and are glowing with good feeling
toward America. Newspapers that never before
received special cable news from the United
States are row publishing such messages. One
editor remarked that the entire German press
would be without dividends this year. and ex-
pressed the hope that nothing else of equal in
terest would happen the other side Of the
Atlantis for five years 10 come.

BACK TO THE HOHENZOLLERN
PROCESSION UP BROADWAY AND FIFTH
AVE. IN A DRIVING RAIN.

When Prince Henry left the City Hall he was
assisted into his carriage by Mayor Low, who
also gave helping hand TO Admiral Evans
! Two extra carriages had been ordered for Ad-
miral Won Baudissin and the other members of
the Princes staff, who had occupied seats in the
| Princes carriage on the trip from the Battery
There was cheer from the crowd as the Prince
and Admiral Evans appeared in the open car
riage in Broadway.
The rain fell down hard, and the Prince
plainly showed his annoyance When he was

Hall he acknowledged their cheers by his usual
military salute but the journey proceeded he
evidently grew tired and from Houston-st to

and did not appear TO notice any Representation

The advance guard of Squadron A that pre-
ceded the Princes carriage turned into Waverley
Place, and the band which was following them
Immediately slowed down to a walk while they
began TO play Sousas Stars and Stripes For

Evans angry, and calling an orderly to his
side. he whispered; Tell those fellows to stop
playing and TO hurry up. We're late" The
orderly did he was told and the music

pace of their horses. and the trip continued at

Another large crowd had assembled at Thirty

was cheered repeatedly on his way up Fifth-ave.
The Prince took no notice, however but chatted
with Admiral Evans and wiped his face. which
was continuously wet by the rain, with his
handkerchief. The police were too busy keeping
the crowd back to take any notice OF the cabs
and carriages which blocked the way Of the pro-
cession. which turned the corner at Thirty

GREETED By THE MAYOR.
About nve minutes later the Prince and Sec

The Mayor noticed that the Prince look
ing at the top Of the beautiful old table in the
Governors room, and he said:
This is Washing1on's writing table Wash

of the United States. in 17S9."
The Prince stopped down little and examined
some mosaic lettering in the top of the table.
and then said:

BY that time the committee of the Board OF
Aldermen appeared. and the Mayor said:
Your royal highness I wish to present the
President of the Borough Of Manhattan, Mr..
Cantor; Mr.. McInnes the vice-president of the
board, and Mr.. Gaffney."

The Prince signiied his readiness to go to the
aldermen's chamber, and after few minutes

Committee found seats in the gallery of the

REPLY OF THE PRINCE.

All eyes were focused on the Prince while the
Mayor was speaking. He was entirely at his
ease. AS he accepted the parchment from Mr..
Fornes he said in English:

Glove Contest Sept. 9Th.

Next Monday evening the Jackson
Athletic club will give 20 round glove
contest in the Athletic club room,
Webb hall. The boxers are Ralph
Brown of Electra, who has already
figured in two bouts in Jackson, and
came out victorious, and Joe Podesta
of Jackson. Podesta has not figured
before the jackson public heretofore
He is said to be unusually clever in the
manly art. Those who are posted in
such matters, and who have seen both
men at work, are of the opinion that
the man from Electra will have his
hands full this time. He has had com
paratively easy game so far. In spar
ring for practice the other day with
young Casey, the boxers got their
fighting blood up, and went at it in
earnest, with the outcome that Brown
received an ugly cash over the left eye,
and Casey got blow on the head that
raised bump not on the phrenologist S
chart. Brown has carried a plaster
over his optic since. 1t is expected
that the wound will be completely
healed by Monday night.

Fingers Cut Off.

A serious accident befell Alb Will
liams, son of S. E. Williams, the team
ster, on Tuesday afternoon. He was
engaged with his father and others in
packing the material belonging to
Berneschi, OF the old toll house saloon,
from the Olympus basement, and load
ing the same on wagon outside. Part
of this material consisted of some heavy
casks containing vinegar, etc. In get
ting one of these through the doors Of
the basement, young Williams left hand
was caught between the barrel and the
cement wall. The iron hoop forming
the edge OF the barrel caught the two
middle fingers, just below the nails,
and such was the weight that the
finger tips were cut clear off, as though
done with a sharp knife. DR.. Schacht
was summoned, and the decapitated
fingers were dressed. The patient is
getting along nicely. The misfortune
is severe one, not only to the victim
himself, but to his father, who has to
look TO his stalwart son to do the main
share of the heavy handling.

The Railroad Again.

NJ. K. Miller of Oakland and f. w.
KrOnenberg Of San Francisco were in
Jackson last Monday looking into the
matter of building a railroad from
lone to Jackson. Mr.. Miller is a civil
engineer, and his visit here is for the
purpose OF ascertaining the sentiment
of the people on the subject, and also
to Investigate the probable traffic that
such road would command. The
gentlemen paid the Ledger Office a
visit on this mission, and interviewed
the business men and mine owners.
They went from here to Sutter Creek.
They are looking into the cost of cleo
tric power, and all questions relative to
the subject matter. Of course, nothing
has been decided upon as yet. But
they were here for business, and are
satisfied that sufficient capital may be
interested in the scheme, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that
the amount of traffic would give fair
profit on the investment. This move
has nothing whatever TO do with the
Southern Pacific Company.

Board of Education.

The board of education of Amador
county was in session nearly all of last
week for the examination of applicants
for teachers certificates. These ex.
aminations for applicants are now held
only annually, instead OF semi-annually,
as formerly. Notwithstanding this
fact, there were only nine persons be-
fore the board to submit to the exami-
nation-the smallest number we believe
that WAS ever before the board in any
one year since these examinations were
held. OF the nine applicants four sue
ceeded in passing, and were awarded
grammar grade certificates as follows:
Miss Mayme B. Thomas aud Miss jose
phine D. Mooney of Amador City; Miss
Edna M. McWayne of Drytown; and
Miss Edna A. Rust of Jackson Miss
Mary E. Tierney of lone and Miss Mar
garet Payne of Sutter Greek were rec
ommmended to the state board for
grammar grade life diplomas. Miss
ClOrinda Cassinelli OF Volcano was rec
commended to the state board for a
document to accompany her normal
school diploma. This was all the busi-
ness transacted. One of the principal
reasons for the falling away in the
number of those seeking the school
teaching profession is that primary
grade certificates having been abolish
ed, it is much more difficult to pass the
ordeal now than formerly.

Diminishing in Value.

The long stretch of iron pipe that
was laid on the lone road from Mar
tells station to the Morrow grade, is
still there, and diminishing in value
with the lapse of time. Another sea-
son or two will make it almost abso-
lutely worthless. Perhaps, at present,
it might command small price over
the cost of taking it apart and carrying
it elsewhere. When the matter was
started year ago as to what should be
done with it, and how the Indebtedness
against it should be liquidated, the
Ledger was the only paper in the coun-
ty that was outspoken in the opinion
that it should be sold for whatever it
would bring, and the money used to
pay off the debt created by the sprink
ling experiment. 1t was decided at a
meeting called to consider the subject,
that an effort ought to be made to
raise the money by subscription, and
that the pipe should remain in idleness
for awhile, awaiting events. a collect
ing committee was appointed in each
of the three townships interested, and
there the matter ended. In the mean
time the outfit that cost such large
amount of money has deteriorated
almost 10 the zero point. What has
become of the Indebtedness we do not
know, but would be pleased to learn as
to its status from those who do know
