TlCkLES THE KAISER.
Prince Renry's Cordial Reception Here
PIeases Him Very Much.

Berlin, Feb. 26.-The details of the
movements of Prince Henry, and the
courteses shown him in the United
States continue to be followed here
with extraordinary interest and the
and the pleasure of Emperor William
at the reception rendered his brother
has been freely expressed to members
of the royal household. %
In official circles it is considered that
the Emperor has personality accom-
plished, by sending Prince Henry to
the United States what it would have
taken years to do otherwise.
Prominent merchants, sociologists
and educators of Germany will be
among the members of the proposed
American German League for the pre-
servation and promotion of mutual I'M
derstanding and friendly relations be-
tween German and the United States
for the formation of which steps have
ALREADY been taken.
The principal mission of the associa-
ton will be to foster the expansion of
commercial relations between Germany
and the United States and thus to
counteract the existing misunderstood
ings between the two countries.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache Is a symptom. an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease In some
organ, and the cause of the headache
is difficult to locate because so many
diseases have headache as a prominent
|symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease,
lung trouble. eye strain or ill fitting
GLASSES, all produce headaches, and if
we could always locate the organ
which is at fault the cure of obstinate
headaches would be much simpler
matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat; when the headache is To-
Gated in back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
|ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new, inter-
nal remedy in tablet form, composed of
|antiseptics like eucalyptol, guaiacOl
and blood root which act upon the
blood and cause the elimination of the
catarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.

A vExATiOUS QUESTION.
Senators Trying to Decide on Punish
ment for TilIman and McLaurin.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The meeting of
the Senate committee on privileges and
elections, this forenoon. did not result in
supplying any solution of the difficulty
that the Senate is in. in connection with
the Tilman-McLaurin matter. The Re
publican members of the committee
frankly confessed that they had not been
able to formulate a scheme which would
relieve the situation. and after less than
an hours discussion they asked the COM
mittee to adjourn until O'Clock, this af-
ternoon, the understanding being that the
Senate should adjourn after a brief SeS-
sion and thus give the committee an OPP
portunity to fully consider this important
question which most senators look upon
in its present shape as stumbling block
in the way of all other legislation.
The meeting of the committee was
marked by the best of feeling on the part
of all the members. While no positive
statement of policy was made from the
Republican side. enough was said to lead
luton for suspension has been changed
and that the punishment suggested will
be in the form of a censure.
The committee continued its considera-
ton of the Tillman- McLaurin episode in
the afternoon but reached no conclusion
beyond deciding to refer the entire matter
to a subcommittee and to meet again,
Friday, to consider any recommendation
which may be made by the sub-commit-
tee. The afternoon session lasted three
hours and after the Democratic members
took their departure, at o'clock, the
Republicans continued the sitting. The
meeting of the full committee was devot-
ed to a general exchange of views.
The subcommittee appointed is COM
posed of Senator Burrows, Senators Hoai
and Foraker, and Senators Pettus and
Bailey, Democrats. The subcommittee
will meet. tomorrow afternoon. and make
an effort to frame a resolution for the
action of the full committee. which Will
| meet again at 10 o'clock Friday.

OF the Arion Society's hall on Park av-
enue and was met by a committee OF

pleasure to find himself in the house OF
a German society and to be afforded
the opportunity of witnessing the pa
rade of the German societies from its
balcony. About 5000 marched in the

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The rumored sensation at Brunswick,
Tuesday, caused by the finding of a
clot of blood on the bridge over the
Androscoggin will probably pan out
very tamely in the light of investiga-
ton. 1t is stated authenticity that
the blood spot was simply the drip
pings from bag of rabbits which some
successful hunters laid out on the rail
on their way home. The authorities,
however, took it upon themselves to-
investigate the matter and took some
of the blood to State Assayer Robinson
for examination.-Bath Times.

alleged assailants of Addison Apt, who
have been under arrest since he was
stabbed at the Polish wedding recet-
ton at Portland, a month ago, were to
have had a hearing in the municipal
court. Wednesday, but their counsel de-
cided to waive examination. The re-
spondents We're bound over to the May
term of superior court and under $1,000
bonds. They claim that they were not
the ones who used the knife on Apt,
though they We're in attendance at the
wedding reception and participated to
some extent in the trouble. One of
them got bail and it is expected that
the other will be able to do so.
1t has been given out at Eastport that
the big box shook mill in the western
part of that city will soon be reopened
by the owners. who have similar plants
at Norfolk. Va. The mill was built sew
eral years ago at Deep Cove. and was
known as the largest and best, con-
structed shook mill about the State.
The machinery was new and expensive.
and when the plant was opened up 1t
was generally supposed that there
would be plenty Of work all the year
around 1t was only short time later
that the plant was shut down. and later
the saws and machinery removed to
Norfolk. The reason given at the time
was the coming on of big duty on the
rough logs then coming i'm from the
provinces, but now that this difficulty
is said to have been removed, the mill
will be reopened and shocks sawed out
