IT WAS IN THE PAINT.
Lady Admirer Compliments Artist on His Flowers. But the Effort
 Is Wasted.

It was in one of Boston's art gall leries, where there was an exhibition of the late J. Appleton Browns pie lures, relates the Herald. There was a fine array of beautiful landscapes, with that mellow and radiant atmos- phere that characterized all of Mr. Browns work on canvas. The mead ows were green, the foliage was rich and full, and the blossoms were true to nature at her best. A lady came into the gallery to enjoy the pictures, and as she stood gazing at the wealth of beauty on the walls she exclaimed rapturously: sHow perfectly en- chanting. I declare I can almost smell the sweet perfume of those ap- ple bIossoms.'' 'sWhat you smell, mad am," said the matter -of-fact attend ant, with no poetry in his soul, .sis something of an odiferous character which the artists mix with their paints nowadays. It wears off in time after the varnishing." This was art dealing in R0StOn

Five Miners Killed.

MONONGAHELA, Pa, March 7.- An explosion in the Catsburg mine of the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke company resulted in the death of five men and serious injury of several others, two fatally. On Monday premature explosion of dy- namite caused gas to ignite, and since that time the mine has been burning. All the air channels were closed, and it was hoped thet the flames could be smothered. In the morning twenty men entered the mine to investigate. It is not explained what caused the explosion, but it is thought that the turning on of the air, which had been shut off by the fan, caused the gas which had accumulated to ignite.

equally brilliant staff, and when the call ended the prince started at once for the statehouse to return the cOur tesy. He drove to the capitol by way of Beacon street, and there was an- other demonstration along that avenue. Naval reserves formed in two lines that extended from the street to the portals made way for the entrance of the prince. After he had paid his re spects to Governor Crane he entered the house of representatives where the legislature was in session, and was pre- sented from the forum by President Soule of the senate. Leaving the cham Der, he was shown the battlefags car ried by the regiments of the state in the civil war. After that he re-entered his carriage and was driven to the pub lie library, where he returned the call of Mayor Collins.
 Thirty-fiye veterans who fought with the grandfather of the prince in the Franco-Prussian war were presented at the library, and the prince shook hands with them all and asked as to their old regiments and the character of their service.
 The ceremony at the library over, the prince returned to the Somerset and after short wait there started for Cambridge. Mayor McNamee gave him the freedom of the city of Cambridge. and tne school children sang for him at the city hall.
 At the university he was first taken to Memorial hall, where he met the cor poration of the college, and then to Sanders theater where the degree was conferred. He was next escorted to the faculty room, where he met the faculty and, with his staff, lunched with them.
 The heartieSt part of Boston's form al welcome to Prince Henry was con- centrated in the sumptuouS banquet at the Somerset last evening. From his seat at the table at one end of the ban quet room the prince faced the most representative men of the city and state. The speeches made. were from men known for their oratory. and to their sentiments his royal highness made formal response.
 The hall, in which over POO guests sat, was lavishly decorated, yellow be- HE lHe pIeuoluIndl1iiS Aoidl SoIol.
 At the royal guests table, slightly raised from the floor, Mayor Patrick A. Collins had Prince Henry at his right hand. On the paneling behind and over them were crossed a United States flag and the royal standard.
 When the banquet came to an end, the prince and his suit retired to their apartments, reappearing few minutes later on their departure for the resi- dence of MT. J. Montgomery Sears, on Arlington street, where a reception was rendered the prince by the Thurs day Evening club. At this reception, which was entirely informal, his royal highness had the opportunity of meet ing the representative literary people of Boston.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 7.-The spe- cial train for Boston bearing Prince Henry of Prussia arrived in this city shortly after s o'clock this morning.

 In the borough court this morning John F. Walsh, a young man who has been out of jail but three weeks, was charged with vagrancy. Walsh was arrested early this morning by Officer Malone, who found him wandering about the streets. Walsh, the officer stated, had been sleeping around town in barns and outhOuses, and that last night when he found him wandering about the streets he decided to arrest him. Walsh regarded his arrest as a terrible outrage and stated that he had contract to shingle house and when asked by the court why he did not go about it he said because the weather was unfavorable. Judge Hungerford gave him 30 days in jail and now about the time Walsh comes back again the blue birds will be singing and everything will be in shape for him to shingle that house.

They even got the driver so rattled that he lost control of the four for a while and the frightened animals did steps that would put the average circus horse in the shade.

Another Fruit1ess Conference.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-The third conference of Republican members of the house of representative to consid- CT the question of Cuban tariff con- sessions was held last night in the hall of the house. About 125 members were present, and great interest was mani fested owing to the sharp division which has occurred between the sup porters of the ways and means propo- sition for 20 per cent reciprocity as put forward by Chairman Payne and the rebate plan proposed by Repre- sentative Tawney of Minnesota.

Governor Crane and Mayor Collins
 Welcome Royal Guest.
 BOSTON, March 7.-Prince Henry of Prussia was the guest of Boston yes terday, and his welcome to the city was stately and cordial. Governor Winthrop Murray Crane and Mayor F. 4. Collins, acting for state and city, extended the official courtesies, and when the prince had tremendously returned their calls he went to Cam bridge to deliver to the Germanic mu- scum the gifts of his brother, the Kai- ser Wilhelm, and to receive from Har- yard the honorary degree of doctor of laws. Harvard's honor to the prince is precedent, for never before was degree conferred under like circum- stances.
 4 significant passage in the speech of President Eliot, who conferred the degree, was reference to the prince as the grandson of Queen Victoria.
 Pxance Henry's first act as a Harvard man, at the Harvard union shortly afcer he received the degree, was to propose and lead three cheers for Pres ident Roosevelt, who is a Harvard alumnus. The prince received a ca blegFam from bis brother, the emperor, offering congra tulations on the new honor bestowed.
 At night the prince was given a din ner by tke city of Boston and sat at table with more than 200 of the rep resentative citizens of the common wealth

The entire reception was dignified rather than demonstratiye, but it lacked none of the cordiality that has characterized the tour of the prince.
 The special train which carried the prince across the country was not de layed by food or storm and crossed the line between New York and Massachu- se<ts on the time planned for it by the railroad men. It halted for few mo- ments at Springfield, but passed through Worcester, where the plan to hold reception was abandoned, owing to the earliness of the hour. Boston was reached at :35 o'clock.
 The prince wore his naval uniform and acknowledged the greetings with his characteristic salute. When the car riage reached the common, a battery sounded the royal salute. The gun shy horses jumped into quicker pace, and at sharp trot the procession rounded the common.
 At the Somerset the prince, surround ed by his star in full uniform, received RoYerpor Crane. who came Mitb aa

 NEW YORK, March 7.-President Vreeland of the Metropolitan Street Railway company has caused to be posted in the barns, stables and pow CT houses of the system in Manhattan a notice to all employees announcing the establishment of pension system for the superannuated employees of the company.

Origin of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath as religious institu- tion is far older than the Penta- teuchal legislation. 1t, too, can be traced back to a Babylonian proto- type, not, however, as day of rest from labor, but as kind of atone ment day, when by various rites and by observing certain restricted reg Glations the anger of the gods could be appeased. On this old institu- tion the Hebrews ingrafted their re- ligious ideas and produced the unique institution of a day observed as respite from the weeks toll, and which, being an 'inauspicious'' occa- sion, a dies irae, is viewed as "de- light. t."-Independent.

Lake of Perfune

On the Mangishlak peninsula, in the Caspian sea, there are five small lakes. One of them is covered with salt crys- tals strong enough to allow man and beast to cross the lake on foot; another is as round as any circle and a lovely rose color. Its banks of salt crystal form setting, white as the driven snow, to the water, which not only shows all the colors from violet to rosy red, but from which rises a perfume as, of violets. Both the per- fume and the color are the result of the presence of seaweeds, the violet and the pink.
