Milwaukee, March 5.-At the recep-
ton given for PRINCE Henry in the ex-
position building yesterday afternoon
Governor La Toilette made the follow
ing address, which was enthusiastic
ally received:
Your Royal Highness
I'm your own esteemed person, and
as the representative of the distin-
guished ruler of great and powerful
nation, expressing the ardent good
will of all our people, bid you a most
cordial welcome to Wisconsin.
We are pleased to believe that
there are reasons which make this
visit one of special consideration on
your part. We could hardly have
claimed this honor over many of our
sister states because of larger popula-
ton or greater wealth and rank
These, however, are not the tests of a
sincere and genuine hospitality. In
the sacred ties of kinship. of national
association, and affectionate regard
no city and no state in our entire
country has more to offer you than
this city and this state.
With us you will not only look into
the happy faces of a contented and
prosperous people, but in every quar-
ter of this commonwealth you may
hear the music of the German tongue
and the inspiring notes of German
song. Journeying across Wisconsin
in any direction, one passes through
ships. changed from unbroken prairies
and vast forests, to thickly populated
districts with beautiful homes, rich
farms, and great factories by the har-
dy, courageous but patient, industry
of the German pioneer.
I'm that hour, fortunate to us, when
emigration from the fatherland was at
it's full tide, the conditions invited
most strongly toward this young com
monwealth. It's productive soil, it's
low-priced lands, it's lakes and streams
and forests, it's climate, it's liberal
spirit attracted alike the idealist who
dreamed of a German state within the
union, and the sturdy, practical home
seeker, who left his fatherland in the
hope of larger opportunity in new
country.
Their industry, thrift, prudence,
and unyielding perseverance underlie
much of our material development.
Their native directness and honesty of
thought, their resolute maintenance of
right and justice and good order in
every community has stamped its

erty in Norfolk, Va.
Norfolk, Va, March "a mob of
500 strike sympathizers thronged the
streets of Norfolk yesterday on which
the main line of the Norfolk railway
and light company's cars run and the
police were unable to cope with it
from noon until after dark when cars,
guarded by detachments of military
were housed. In the county where the
barns are the military, eight COM
panies, is in control of the situation.
Cars were repeatedly derailed wagons
loaded with stone piled on the tracks,
and fights between the military guards
intervals In one difficulty a sergeant
ran a bayonet into the arm of H. H.
Harmansef, a barber. Mrs. Hartman
SET, who was standing by her bus
band, knocked the sergeant to the
ground with both fists and discolored
the face of Lieutenant E. R. Gale, who
was near her. Several soldiers were
struck by missiles thrown through
the windows of the cars. A number
of arrests wer made both by the po-
lice and military.
A conference was held by Mayor
Beaman, Police Chief Veltines and
Colonel Higgins, commanding the
seventy-first Virginia, eight companies
of which are in service, relative to
placing the city under martial law. A
police force of loo men was on duty
48 hours and seemed unable to meet
the emergency. 1t is possible that
four additional companies of the regi-
ment and battery of artillery will be
called for to take charge of the city.

New York, March 5.-The manager

portant San Francisco connections
said yesterday that at least 2O,UOU,-
900 would be deposited at the sub

equal amount from the -sub-treasury

this transaction in no way concerns
the deal for the financing of the San
Francisco street lines of which Brown
Brothers e Co. are the underwriting
managers. A canvass OF other lead,
ing banking interests failed to dis
close any additional requests for
transfers to San Francisco, but it Was
practically established that transfers
to that point will aggregate at least
$4O,0OO.OOO.

EULOGY ON CAPT. SWEET.

With the death Of Mayor D. E.
Sweet. Jennings loses a good
good in the sense that
he always strived to help his fell
low man, and endowed with
,|lsposition that showed heart
full Of tenderness TO all mankind.
He earnestly contended for what
he believed to be ri s'ht,a land looked
at public questions from both
standpoints, land strived to do his
duty at all time. He was surely
one ofnature's noblemen. True,
he had his faults, but he never
injured no one through malice,
and h, Id a high regard with per-
sons who differed from him, and
was of liberal nature.
He was the poor mans friend,
and many men in this vicinity
got their start in life through his
advice and financial heir. He
has carried man a man through
a tight pinch, and always strived
to keep his left hand from know :
inc what the right hand did. In
his financial tranSac ctions with
man he did not put himself in the
role of an extortioner, as many
men do, and Capt. Sweet came as
near living up to the golden rule
of life as any man we know OF.
His good qualities will long be
rem enbered. and his demise will

Hoy should all this be done,
you ask? This isn't much for
Jennings to do. I claim no orig
inality in the following plan, and
| assure you that it is no untried
theory or experiment.. While
travelling about with my enter
| tainments, I have ''comped .
scores of remarkably good bands
who played before the eheatre
doors for US, that were organ
lied and supported on the follow
ing plan:
First: All the home boys who
we're musicians, added talent
from away, by advertising (free)
| in "Truth" "a band-instr ument
journal published by G. g. Conn,
Elkhart, Ind. tor such musicians
as they needed, finding for them
positions in the town, which
would give them steady employ
ment. For instance, any one in
Jennirg desiring a book-keeper,
stenographer, clerk, barber,
machinist, or other help, could
secure such help who played
some instrument, through Mr..
Peterson, the leader Of the band,
who would attend to. the adver
tising, and thus add a valuable
member to the Jennings band,
as we'll as citizen to the town.
| Second: Let the public spirited
people OF Jennings, especially
the merchants, subscribe to a
perpetual fund to maintain the
band, sufficient to cover it's small
expenses, which would probably
not exceed ten or fifteen dollars
ii week, and in turn the band
should play weekly concerts In
different locations IN the town,
which should be regular, perma-
nentand advertised in the papers.
This we will find. will draw
people to town and increase the
business of every merchant until,
not "WALKER", but every one
else can ':sell it for less There
are scores of towns where these

JENNINGS BAND.
Every Lover OF Music Should Take a
Hand in This Noble Cause and
Help Push 1t Along.

''M u sic hath cilarmS TO S0Otn
the savage, which accounts for
seeing across dog with brass
band around his neck. Jennings,
the once s'cross dog" has been
'>soothed and brought from
savagery to civil zation, and she
should have q tender spot IN her
heart Tor cur '.brass band.
Mr., Wellington made d very fit
ting and appropois allusion to the
Jennings band in his remarks
the other night at the meeting OF
the League, when he said that it
stood for the striking part Of the
ii me piece, the tlme-piece being
the town. This being true, too
much cannot be said or done to
"boom" our, band. There is
nothing that creates a stronger
or greater impression OF life and
prosperity in town than a good
brass band, and nothing that
creates q better impression and
more rivalry in sister towns,
than good brass band when
called away from home to play.
The Jennings band is not a
good band. I say this without
fear of can antradictlon, and with
out fear OF offending any one.
We all know it and admit it.
Were it a good band we would
not be trying to help make it
good. The thing that puzzles
me is how. under the circum-
stances, our band is half as good
as it is. It is a wonder whom
facts are considered. 1t is Il
veritable orphan. Like Topsy,
it just "growed''. No "fadder',
no ''mudder", no "brudder', no
"sister". "When you sees me,
you sees the whole fambly'.
1t has TO home. Orphan like
it lives and plays in a hall way.
Nobody supports it. 1t'subsists
on its own EQUATIONS: yet when
asked to entertain, asked to
serve the town or the public, it
seldom, if ever, declines. 1t re-
ponds cheerfully, and does it
gratis. This is generous but
not far.
Speaking of bands reminds
me. I Was riding with a friend
of mine a few weeks ago in GER
tain town, and he stopped his
team in front of a band-stand,
where there were at least 1UC
people listening to free concert
given by a local band. After {
