Invitation to Prince Henry the Re suit of Cable Message from
 Emperor William.
New York Special.

New Iork special.
 The visit of Prince Henry to the box of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt on Tuesday evening at the gala performance. and his marked attention to her. have been matters of current discussion since that event. The recognition was so marked and the singling out of this young matron so obvious that it took many by surprise.
 However, those who know MT. and Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt claim that the ac- ceptance of the invitation to a dinner at their house. to be given by them for the Prince, has been an arrangement of some w$eks' standing, and that the request to entertain Prince Henry at dinner is a personal one, given by the Emperor him. self. and cabled personally to Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt. In consequence of this Prince Henry was bound to call on Mrs. Vanderbilt on Tuesday evening, ac- cording to the etiquette of his country. When a dinner invitation is received the man who received it calls upon his future hostess, especially if he has never met her before.
 The request that Cornelius Vanderbilt ask the Prince to dinner came about in a simple way. Some years ago when Mrs.

AN INTERESTING BOOK.
"Grandfather's Tales of North Caro-
 lima"

Sir Walter Scott's Tales of a Grand father have charmed children and those of older growth. ever since they were published. They will always be of inter est to those who like to read charming recital of historic and other events. Re- gently Colonel R. B. Creecy of Elizabeth City, N. C., has published a book under the title of 'Grandfathers Tales of North Carolina" which is destined to great pop ularity. Those who were born in the old North State or descendants of those who were will find it especially interesting.
 This volume contains about 125 Tales, or articles, running between two and three pages each. and all relating to North Carolina matters: historical events or incidents in the lives of some of our distinguished men.
 Colonel Creecy has not attempted to cover the whole field. There are many other historical events and many other distinguished Carolinians than those which he has made the subject of a Tale. But his 125 subjects cover enough for one volume.
 The distinguishing feature of Colonel Creecy's style is the vein of humor that bubbles up continually in all he writes If any subject has humorous side he sees it.. and in an elegant and delightful way he presents 1t for the enjoyment of his readers.
 Every tale-yill be read with interest for in every one is brought forward some fact in NoCth Carolina history worth re- membering. or some incident in the life of distinguished Carolinian is used to illustrate his leading characteristics.
 Colonel Creecys recollection extends back to 1885. and the picture he presents of the Constitutional Convention of 1885, and of Gaston. Swain. Nat Macon and other men of that day. gives great his- toric interest to his book.
 The book is beautifully printed. well bound and handsomely illustrated The publishers, Edwards and Broughton. are 10 be congratulated on getting out so handsome a work The book can be pur- chased of Colonel R. B. Creecy, Eliza beth City, N C., for SIPS.

 "I referred to the influence of the home How far are We responsible if our chill dren grow up in tho patronizing attitude Of mind which l have been describing? De We take pains to refrain from all crit icism of the clergy when our children are by? Do We make them feel that our rector is as honored a guest as any who crosses our threshold? Do we bring up our boys in the hope that they may prove themselves worthy to become clergvmen? Do We not. on the contrary, deliberately turn the attention of growing boys toward this or that secular pursuit. and shrink from consecrating our offspring to the service of the church? We cannot with propriety influence other peoples chill drn in the direction of the sacred calling unless We arc willing to do so with our own.'

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt met the Emperor and also met him and the imperial family when Mrs. Goelet some years ago was making a cruise in the Baltic. When in Germany Mrs. Vanderbilt was the re- cipient with her hostess of much atten- tion on the part of the imperial family.
 When the visit of the Prince was con templated the Emperor was anxious, it is understood, that he should be enter tained by one representative America family. At first 1t was Mrs. Robert Goelet who was to do the entertaining but the illness and sudden death of Miss Beatrice Goelet ended the plan, which might not have been put into execution at any event, as Mrs. Robert Goeet had arranged to go abroad and join the Mamma at Alexandria early in February
 Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt at this time it is said, came forward in quiet way only with the intention of offering some civility to Prince Henry in for the kindness shown her by his imperial brother and family. She consulted the German Ambassador, Dr. von Holleben. and he cabled to the Emperor. The re- suit was direct reply from the Emperor to Mrs. Vanderbilt, requesting her to en- certain his brother at dinner. The Elm peror, 1t was further said. was delighted, because he considered the Vanderbilt family a representative one.
 Since the death of Cornelius Vanderbilt Sr.. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., has insisted that she should be called Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, and suggested that her mother-in-law, with whom she is not on good terms, should be known as Mrs. Vanderbilt.

 Well. we finally succeeded in tracing the commercials to the village of Ham, the Mississippi River.

 When this fact became clear to us. l called upon the village constable. the only officer of which the town boasted, any men answering the descriptions fin my possession.
