The unexpected visitor. Mr.. Henry VIM.
Haschenburgher of Baltimore, explained
that he had served for seventeen months on
the German cruiser Irene while Prince
Henry commanded the ship. AT consider
able risk he had overcome all barriers and
was within the private quarters of the en-
bassy.
Prince Henry seemed to enjoy the sailor s
enthusiasm. He remembered his service
and greeted him most cordially. Then his

and with cheer from the crowd. the party
started for the Capitol, preceded by the
cavalry escort
To the Capitol.
The crowds that lined the avenue on
either side cheered themselves hoarse as
the prince and his suite passed along on
their way to the Capitol. Women waved
their handkerchiefs and men took off their
hats. The prince bowed repeatedly.
Instead of returning to the German en-
bassy in the interim between the memorial
services and beginning his trip to Mount
Vernon, Prince Henry took his midday
luncheon in the room of the Senate COM
mittee on military affairs, which is a COM

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, February 27-The
citizen of Rockville are considerably wor-
ried over the discovery in their midst Of a
case of smallpox. The victim is Mr.. Ralph
Luckett, son of Mr.. Cooke d. Luckett.
The first symptoms Of the disease devel-
oped last Sunday, when DR.. E. e. Stone
street, who Is health officer for this county.
was called in. He diagnosed the case as
smallpox in a mild form and Immediately
quarantined the family and took every pre-
caution to prevent the disease from spread
ing DR.. Stonestreet states that there is
absolutely no cause for alarm, and does
not apprehend the development of any ad-
ditional cases.
Young Luckett is employed in Washing
ton, and it is thought that he contracted
this disease there. AS he travelled to the
city and back each day by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, some fears have been
expressed that others may have contracted
the disease from him, but as yet no new
cases have been reported.
, Notwithstanding DR.. Stonestreets assur-
ances, a large portion of the population Of
Rockville is being vaccinated. and the doc
tors and vaccine points are very much IN
demand.

Invited to Canada.
Prince Henry has been invited to visit
Canada to be the guest of the dominion

ing for Germany already has been fixed.

he makes the visit to Niagara Falls and
crosses to the Canadian side. At that time
the personal aid-de-camps of the governor
general of Canada will be present to extend
the good will of the British authorities.
