PRINCE HENRY
The Guest of Men Who Make
the Newspapers.
Pays Them a High Compliment in
Answer to His Toast.
One Of the Notable Features Of Visit to
This Country.

New York, Feb 26.-Prince Henry of
Prussia dined. tonight, with 100 of the
men who make the American news
papres. He was the special guest of
Herman Ridder, proprietor of the New
York Stats Zeitung, who gathered at
his table majority of the leading fig
ures in American journalism. They
came from the four quarters of the
country and made the most noteworthy
gathering of their profession ever as
sembled in the United States.
There was a felicitious exchange of
greetings between Prince Henry and
the men who spoke for the journalistic
craft and the affair claims rank as one
Of the notable incidents of the Ameri-
can tour of the German prince.
The dinner was given in the hand
some ball room of the Waldrof- Astoria
hotel but that immense apartment was
not large enough to accommodate the
numerous guests. and the Aston gall
lery was also used.
The two rooms were splendidly deco
rated. Mr.. Ridder and the special
guests sat at an elevated table above

The two most likely candidates for the
pitchers box at present are Williams,
who pitched on the Cony High schoo.

ell of the Fort Fairfield High school, who
has been recommended as one of the best
amateur pitchers in Maine. Thatcher OF
the class of 1885 is a candidate for catch

A SUSPICIOUS CASE
In Beta Theta ri Chapter House at
Bowdoin College.

brunswick, Me-, Feb. 26.-(SpeciaD.
The chapter house of the Beta Theta
fraternity of Rowdoin College was
placed in isolation, today, by Secretary
A. G. Young of the State Board of
Health on account of the suspicious ill
ness of James Edward White of Bridg-
ton. White is a freshman, and was
suddenly taken sick, Tuesday. A close
examination disclosed the fact that he
had all the symptoms of smallpox, with
the exception of the usual blotches.
The local board of health Immediately
notified DR.. Young, who made a flying
triI; to this town, and he considered the
case serious enough to place the other
members of the fraternity who room in
the building, some 30 or more, in invol-
untary exile. though it will be impossi-
bic to definitely decide as to the true
nature of the disease until tomorrow
or next day.
Great anxiety is felt by the students as
to the outcome of the case and some OF
them have already left for their homes.
The History Club, some 20 or more
strong. including Prof. Dennis, met at tho
chapter house, last evening, and it Is
feared that the disease, if conta gious.
may be spread
The members of the fraternity have
circulated freely with the other students
since White has been sick.

Portland. Ne, Feb. 2G.-There was a
morning, when map walked to the
door Of the city clerks office and re-
married to Mr.. Dyer that he was t''aw-
:ul sick and all broken out" Mr.. Dyer
lost no time in calling Mr.. Carney and
The latter with some abruptness or
dered the man to go down to the police
station. He went and no one cared to
Got near him on the way.
AT the station the man was put into
room by himself, and there he was
examined by the health board. They
pronounced it clear case of smallpox
IF about four days standing. The man
was accordingly taken over to the pest
house as quickly as possible and fu
nigation was in order at the station.
The man is named Albert Mckenzie
and is native of England. He is
about 35 years of age. He has been
working as Il cattleman on the English
steamers and was in St John two weeks
ago, coming from there here, since
which time he has been staying at the
Salvation Army hotel. but he did not
;tay there, last night.
He began to have an eruption on his
face, last Sunday. He has since then
consulted no doctor and during that
line has been suffering with smallpox
1t seems to- be settled that all who have
been there have been exposed to the
disease and that they will have to be
shut up for the next two weeks.
The board of health have been asked
why they do not close the Salvation
Army hotel They reply that in that
case all the men who stay there would
be scattered in different parts of the
city. They prefer to have them all to-
gether and in that way are better able
tos deal with any possible cases that
may occur there.

lection to its patrons, has inaugurated
system of nightly fumigation of its
street cars. Every car in use is sub
jected to the process Of fumigation at
night.
The trustees of the public library, at
the request of the board of health, have
suspended the circulation of books for

used to sit up all hours reading, and
I often wondered 1t didn't drive him
crazy sooner than 1t did.
Reading is the cause Of it all; It
has turned the poor mans head.
Books of adventure and historic
works figure largely in this strange
burglars collection.
He has also the entire works Of Poe,
the Waverley novels, Dumas History
of Celebrated Crimes" the life Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, the works of Shake
speare Kipling's works, several
volumes on Napoleon, Dickens and
Thackeray's works and shelves and
boxes and bureau drawers packed full
of a miscellaneous collection.
When asked what Influenced him to
take up the life Of burglar he eyed
the reporter for a moment without
making reply, then with a half smile
he spoke.
"Have you ever read Or. Jekyll and
Mr., Hyde?'" he asked. That is all he
would consent to say at the time, but
later he reverted to the subject, say
ing: THAT book fascinated me; when
/ first read 1t was fascinated" He
would not assert directly and positive
ly that he was moved to commit his
first robbery by reading that startling
fiction, but he limited at it broadly.
He had read the book several times
detective stories by Gaboriau and
Conan Doyle.
Found Fun in Stealing.
"Why did you not try to overcome
the influence to steal?" he was asked.
"Oh," said he there was too much
fun in 1T. I never robbed because
needed money, but simply because rob-
bling and afterward listening to the
comments Of the people amused me.
Il was never amused by the recrea-
tons that please most men. I always
sought pleasures in some unusual way,
and robbing for the fun of it was I'M
usual"
No amount Of diplomacy on the part
Of the officers has succeeded in inducing
Adams to admit that he has been en-
gagged in crime longer than fifteen
years.
He began when he was thirty, he
says, but will not tell which was his
first break or where it was made
Things have been found in his house
since his arrest which were not taken
from any house or store in town.
One Of the cOnstables discovered a
whole lot of white neckties Adams
says he got when he was representing
the town at Montpelier.
He also found Mystic Shriners red
fez with the symbol of the Mystic
1t. Adams is not even Mason, to say
nothing of being a Shriner He says
he bought the fez at the worlds fair
in Chicago.
Most of the goods found in the house
were stolen within the year. What he
did with such things as mems suits,
dress goods, hats, caps, shoes and
hardware taken in previous years is
mystery
The belief Is general that in some Of
the breaks at least he had an accom-
plfce. Adams is supposed to be the
possessor of a comfortable fortune
When about twenty-five years old
he had a desire to be a detective and
was trying to get a position in the
secret service department at Wash
ington, when his mother objected.
He has notion that he would have
been success at ferreting out crime
because he was so clever in commit
ting it.

CHESTER, VT, Aug. ga political

|quency of mysterious burglarieS.
The postofIice has been robbed, the
railway station looted, stores and pri-
IYate houses entered, and not clew
had been left to even suggest a suspi-
|cion that Adams was the thief.
Several poor fellows, entirely inno-
Icent of wrongdoing, have been looked
lat askance by people who had lost, and
one man, years ago, who had been held
in Jail because somebody thought he
was implicated in break, died of a
broken heart before the time set for
his trial.
Women were afraid to make neigh
Eborly calls at night, and people travel
ling after dark usually took the middle
iof the road, fearing they might be set
upon by the towns burglars.
Some of the stores in town had been
Ibroken into SO many times that the
Iproprietors felt something akin to
Ilonesomeness if the burglar failed to
Iappear for any considerable time.
The Waterman mill, where Adams
raised the window, to which was at
ltached the string that pulled the trig
ger Of the spring gun, was robbed
more than dozen times.
Never Paid for Corn.
The fact is, Adams, who for several
years has wintered more than twenty
head of cattle, seems not to have paid
out for such commodities as whole
IcOrn and meal.
When his bins ran low he hitched
lone of his horses to an old blackboard
land drove to the Waterman place for
another supply. There, too, he provid-
led himself with enough shingles to
keep the rain from driving through the
roof of one of his farm dwellings,.
Also ne seemed to be very handy
at safe opening, as Mr.. Waterman dis
covered one morning when he entered
his office and found the money he had
locked up the night before missing.
Adams had a scheme all of his own
for robbing the mill. Before entering he
would conceal his horse and buck
board near at hand, climb to the fiat
Eroof Of shed built close up to one
end of the mill and force a window.
His next move was to unfasten the
mill door, which was done by taking
Ioff the lock catch on the jamb with
Escrewdriver, and, this accomplished.
he would fill his bags, lay them out
side and screw on the lock catch again.
Waterman very likely lost more
lgrain than he has knowledge of, for it
4was not easy to detect the disappear,
lance Of few odd bushels NOW and
then.
