Chamber Of Commerce to Invite King
Edwards Son to New York.
New York, April There Is highest
authority for the statement that the
chamber of commerce of New York
will invite the Prince of Wales to at
tend the dedication of its new home in
August or September. Negotiations of
semi Off cial character have been un-
der way for the last two months, but
nothing definite will be known until
May or June. AS matter of fact no
formal invitation has yet been sent to
the Prince Of Wales, in spite of state
ments to the contrary, but it is not too
much to say at this time that such an
invitation will be forwarded with ev-
cry prospect of its acceptance.
The matter has not been taken up by
the diplomatic representatives of the
United States in London, save in the
sense that Ambassador Chcate hap.
pens to be the close personal friend of
President Morris K. Jessup and other
leading members of the chamber. Con-
siderable correspondence has passed
between the chamber and certain high
officials in London, but it is all of q
private or unofficial character.
Representatives of the leading COM
mercial bodies of Europe will be in
vited to attend the dedication, which
promises to be an event of information
al importance.

It may be questioned whether ami.
mails have any conception Of morals
as we understand the term, but In
general sense It would certainly seem
that they have. In the social sense
there is no doubt as to the answer. To
take well known instance, the ant
family have evolved most eomplicat-
ed social system which apparently
works to perfection, and that is more
than can be said for any human sys-
TEN. In order, cleanliness, care Of Off
spring, provision for future wants and
military discipline no civilized society
can compare with theirs. They are
Shareholders, it is true, but they treat
their slaves with every kindness and
consideration, and the warrior ants de-
fend them in time of danger.
Another excellent example is fur
nished by the beaver. During summer
it leads solitary life, but at the ap-
proach of winter communities are
formed, building operations commence,
stores are laid up as soon as the dwell
ings are completed, and every individual
of the community n enizes clearly

An odditx of 1o.t ca.te.

It is not necessary to go to India to,
hear curious stories Of caste. In pro-
fessfonal mans household recently a
maidservant fell Ill Of diphtheria. Her
mistress nursed her herself through
tedious illness until she was quite well.
When that happy result was establish
ed, the maid Immediately informed the
mistress that she intended to leave her
service. The reason Of the maids de-
parture was this-"I could not live with
a mistress who has been waiting OIL
me herself" Quite evidently this is not
mere indifference to kindness or i'll
gratitude. The girl was the slave OF
that mysterious influence of caste
which splits up into minute sections
every modern society as 1t split ul
cry ancient society, and seems ikeEs g
split up any future society that it is
possible to imagine.-London Saturday
Review.

he did not leave much of an estate, al
