ANENT RECEPTION TO PRINCE
German Press Highly Pleased, Paris
Papers Are Cynical.

l.
A dispatch from Berlin last night says:
The narratives Of the reception of Prince
Henry at New York cover one and two
pages in today's issues Of the principal
German newspapers. No foreign event has
ever been reported in the German press
with such detail as is the welcome of New
York to the representative of the emperor.
Everybody here is pleased thereat, and
court circles are especially gratified by the
spontaneous good will manifested, as well
as by the great size of the organized DEM
oEstrations. The editorial articles on this
subject are without exception kindly.
America is seemingly a rediscovery for
most of these periodicals, judging from the
space given up to elementary discourses
on American characteristics, history and
commercial expansion.
A Paris dispatch says: The visit of
Prince Henry of Prussia to the United
States is attracting attention here, and
there is tinge of irony in the newspaper
comments which betray some feeling or
piGue at the enthusiasm of his reception.
The Temps says:
This time it is not the iron glove, but
the hand in the glove Of silk and velvet
that Prince Henry stretches out. 1t Is
somewhat significant that the Washington
birthday fetes passed almost unobserved
amid the brilliance of the reception of the
prince, who represents one Of the mon
arches Of effete Europe. The great re-
public is launched in the very midst of the
international melee, and no longer has time
to devote itself to the jealous and almost
exclusive worship of the glorious memories
Of its history
The Journal des Debats remarks:
1.-The Americans must see In Prince
Henrys flattering visit fresh proof of the
eagerness of the powers of the old world
to worship the rising sun Of this young
and powerful republic, which some of them
formerly treated as a parvenu, but before
when the powers Of today vie with each
other in Frustrating themselves"

BIG DAMAGES FOR CRIPPLED BOY.
Jury Gives Him $4,000 for Loss of
Both Feet

The New York Herald Of today says:
What is probably the largest verdict ever
rendered by a jury in this county for in
juries sustained by child was found yes
terday before Judge Steckler in the SUI
rreme court. where a jury declared that
Vincent MueSsman, who Is now in his sew
enth year, was entitled to $4,000 damages
against the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company for having been run over by a
car of the company and received injuries
which resulted in the amputation Of both
feet just above the ankle. The company
will appeal the case.
Vincent is an exceedingly bright boy, with
blue eyes and taken hair. and as he was
carried about the court room by his step
father, Jacob Racich. he excited the SYM
rathy Of everybody present. The accident
occurred on September II last, at 59th
street and Amsterdam avenue. The boy
was about to cross the street when a car
suddenly turned into 59th street and knock
ed him down, running over both ankles
The little fellow was the main witness in
his own behalf, and testified that before
crossing the street he looked around to see
IL any car was coming, and seeing none, he
started across, when suddenly the Amster-
dam avenue car swung around the corner
and knocked him down. The action brought
", his behalf was to recover $4,000 dam
ages. L lie UelenCe OI the company was tLdC
the accident was due to the child's nt1li-
gence. Two or three boys were called by
the company, who testified that they were
all playing at the time when Vincent ran
across the street to escape from them.
On the other hand the evidence Of two
disinterested witnesses for the little fellow
was that he was not near any other boys,
and that he looked up and down the street
before attempting to cross. 1t took the jury
less than a half hour to agree upon ver-
dict. 1t is said the smallest amount any of
them suggested was $4,000.

q. A. r. and the Spanish War Veterans

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In my annual address to the department

other things. was mentioned the stand
taken by the veterans against marching In
the position assigned them by the grand
marshal on March last, and all the credit
was given the veterans Of the war of the
rebellion for bringing about that happy and
desirable result. This was more than un-
just to the Spanish War Veterans, who
took an honorable and determined stand not
to march or take part in any manner unless
the older veterans were accorded the post
OF honor. How l came to omit mentioning
that fact Is more than L can explain even to
myself. 1t was very stupid thing to do.

the boys for an unintentional slight.

There is no one symptom Of mental

the delusiye faith in the ability 20 stop
An uss OF spirits at any time. says the
Journal Of lnebriety. This delusion of
free will begins from the first use Of
spirits and grows with Increasing in
tensitv down 20 the last moment Of
life. Continuous failures and the eN-
periences Of years, without a single
coufrmatory instance sustaining this
belief Of ability 20 stop, make no Inn
pressions on the mind. On all other
tones there may be a general recogni-
ton OF cause and effect and the lessons
of experience, but in relation TO drink
this delusion grows constantly. The
demand for spirits as a controlling
mower in the organism Is unrecognized
and the mind seems taxed TO find rea-
sons for explaining the Inconsistencies
that come from its use. This delusion
Of strength, 20 stop at any time, is en-
couraged by the friends who believe 1t
10 be true and condemn the patient
for failure to carry 1t out. No matter
what conditions or necessities may
exist for abstaining, spirits are used
and the patient insists that he cares
neither for the taste OF effect of spir-
its and can stop at any moment. This
belief is sincere and emphatic, and
should a free interval occur in which |
no spirits are taken this is consid- |
cred evidence of the viii power TO stop |
AT snv point. The use Of spirits in /
conditions where personal interests /
and that Of the patients family sUffer, |
and where the act is practically sui |
cidal, are explained as mere lapses /
which could have been prevented by a /
mere act of the will This delusive /
state is unrecognized by temperance
revival movements and many reforma-
tory efforts, where the central object
is to awaken the free viii, which is
supposed to be simply dormant. In
many instances these very efforts in
tensify and fix the delusion Of free
will, making recovery more and more
uncertain. II is curious that this most
insane faith should not be recognized
from the everyday experience Of fail
ures 70 abstain by nearly all inebri-
ates. As a symptom Of disease, this
is beyond all question, and is really
more distinct than any other delu-
sion.
