FRANCE IS IRoNIcAL.
Visit of Prince Henry Attracts Atten-
 ton of Paris Newspapers.

Paris, F February 24.-The visit of Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States Is attracting attention here and there is tinge of irony in the newspapers com ments which betray some feeling of pique at the enthusiasm of his reception. The Temps says:
 This time it is not the iron glove but the hand in the glove of silk and velvet that Prince Henry stretches out. It is somewhat significant that the Washing ton birthday fetes passed almost unper- ceived amid the brilliance of the recep- tion of the prince, who represents one of the monarchies of effete Europe. The great republic is launched in the very midst of the international melee and no longer has time to devote itself to the jealousies and almost exclusive worship of the glorious memories of its history"
 The Journal de Bats remarks:
 ''The Americans must see in Prince Henrys f1attering visit fresh proof of the eagerness of the powers of the old world to worship the rising sun of this young and powerful republic. which some of them formerly treated as a parvepue but before whom the powers today vie with each other in prostrating themselves"

LOVED THE TONES ANGEL.
Prisoners Hold Memorial Services for
 the Good Woman.

New York February 24.-Memorial ser- vices have been held in the Tombs Prison for Mrs. Rebecca Foster known as the "Tombs Angel" who was burned to death in the Park Avenue Hotel fire.
 For twelve years Mrs. Foster seldom had missed a Sunday in the Tombs.
 In the womans prison one service was held. Hardened women who had with stood the efforts of Mrs. Foster, and who time after time, when taken from their evil lives by her, had gone back to the old careers, cried like children.
 Florence Burns, who Is accused of kill ing Walter Brooks, was one of the last to come under the influence of Mrs. Eos ter. Convinced that the girl was inno- cent, Mrs. Foster had several talks with her. When the Anger did not appear on Saturday Florence asked for her and was told she had been killed. Florence was much affected. but 1t was not till the service of yesterday that she gave way. She then laid her head upon the shoulder of one of the matrons and sobbed.
 In the mems prison there was a service in which prisoners in whom Mrs. Foster had taken an interest were present.
 Some of the men wept when her name was mentioned.

AMNSoMeNts
Vaudeville at Auditorium,

The bill this week at the Auditorium is better than that of last week. It is one of the best the house has had. The acts are of a higher class and present comedy of a more refined variety. Jess Dandy and Tom Moore the former a Jewish paro- dist and the latter a singer of coon songs, carried off the honors of the evening, al- though 1t would be hard for any team to leave Georgia Gardiner and Joseph Mad dern behind
 It is refreshing to find new interpre- tation of the manner in which coon songs should be sung. Those at the Auditorium last night found it in Tom Moore and showed their appreciation. He sang six songs and the last went better than the first
 Much was expected of Jess Dandy, and he fulfilled expectations. As a Hebrew he amused the audience longer than his al- lotted time. He gave a series of good parodes on popular songs. They all touched on the supposed love of the race for money.
 Georgia Gardiner and Joseph Maddern are the first of the comedy sketch teams the house has presented They made hit in their little play. "Too Many Dar- lings" The situations are funny, the lines good. and the team is among the best comedians on the stage.
 Manley and Rose could improve on their act by a slight change. If Manley would sing more and if Miss Rose would dance instead of trying to swap jokes there would be more applause. Manley's song "A Daisey Chain made the biggest hit of the evening, and was really good, but the effect was partially destroyed by an attempt at comedy. Miss Rose can dance well.
 McMahan and Chappelle have something striking in their sketch It Is a railroad train brilliantly lighted, and when the curtain rose the audience applauded long and loud. Their act would have been much better but for the orchestra, which butchered the music. The vitagraphs Pan American Exposition views were very good.

 DAMAGE SUIT
GETS VERDICT AGAINST BRIDGE COMPANY AND ANOTHER ROAD FOR $232,551-coNTRAcT MADE IN 1872.

Louisville. Ky, February 2i. = Judge Sterling B. Toney of the Circuit Court today gave judgment for $232, 551 in favor of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad against the Louisville Bridge Company and the Pittsburg. Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis road. On account, however, of the loss of certain papers the Louis vile and Nashville loses over $5OO,OO0. The suit grows out of a contract made in 1872 between the Louisville and Nash yille. the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis and the Ohio and Mississip- pi roads with the bridge company, in which it was agreed that the roads using the bridge should apportion the tolls, the surplus above a certain sum to be reds tributed among the three roads. A new contract was made in 1881, whereby the Pittsburg, Chicago Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, successor to the Jeffer- sonville, Madison and Indianapolis Road; the Ohio and Mississippi, the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis and the Louis vile, New Albany and Chicago Roads were admitted to the use of the bridge on the terms of a contract of 1878. The Louis vile and Nashville claimed it was kept in ignorance of this contract and the of- ficials of the road having changed the contract of 1872 was overlooked. Later the Louisville and Nashville demanded its share of the surplus from 1881 to 1892. Judge Toney referred this matter to a commissioner. who represented the road as being entitled to $S0O0OO. Judge Toney, however, declined to allow for the years 1881 and 1888 by reason of the loss of the original waybills, receipts, etc., necessary to establish the indebtedness.

COTTON IN AFRICA.
Teacher From Tuskegee Institute
 Meets With Success.

Tuskegee, Ala, February 24.-J. N. Cal loway. the Tuskegee teacher of agricul- ture has just returned from the German colony of Togo, in western Africa, where he was hired by the German Colonial Economic Society to go a year and a half ago with three graduates of the Tuskegee agricultural department to teach cotton raising to the natives.
 MT. Galloway says the results have been sufficiently encouraging to warrant a continuance of the work After a rest of a month he will return, taking with him a limited number of young negro men trained in practical cotton cultiva- tion who will locate among the natives as model farmers. The three Tuskegee grad uates who went out year and half ago remained in Africa.
 The work in Toga is undertaken by the German Colonial Economic Society, an organization composed of about 200O of the nobility and leading men of Germany working in cooperation with the German government.

 The stone has been secured through the efforts of E. J. Byrne of Austin and was given by Colonel Sullivan, lessee of the granite mountain quarry. It weighs twenty tons.
 The work of disinterring bodies of the storm victims is still being continued out side of the city. but will be confined to limit within two miles of the city.
 The fund sent here by the Governor for this purpose has been more than ample to reinter all those in the city. and 1t is thought that 1t will also prove suffi- cient to finish the work contemplated outside of the city limits When the work is completed the cemetery will be dedi- cated. The work has been carried out under the auspices of the Womans Health Protective Association.

A Record-Breaking Rogue.

It is said that Jefferson De Angelis' new operatic comedy, "A Royal Rogue - has proved a record breaker It is sell dem that a comic opera star uses the same opera two seasons. One year gen. erally exhausts its attractiveness, and ment are few and far between. "A Royal Rogue" however, made such an emphatic hit last season that 1t was decided to continue it on tour for another year. It is said the business the operetta has done this season has proven the wisdom of this decision. Everywhere a return engagement has been played the receipts have far exceeded those of last season

DEPRESSION IN SHIPPING.
English Merchants Are Having Con. siderable Troubles, Says Dispatch.

New York. February 24-Depression in the British shipping trade continues, says London dispatch to the Tribune, and freights, which commenced to fall more than a year ago, are now so low as to be almost if not quite unprofitable. Prices for building new steamers have fallen considerably and in many instances are fully 20 per cent under the highest figures obtained in 1900.
 Secondhand vessels have appreciated to an even more marked extent. and the supply both of new and second-ha steamers is much in excess of the de- mand. great number of old liners and merchant steamers have been sold to British and continental buyers to be broken up. and many thousands of tons will probably be disposed of before long for the same Durpose

Chicago, February 24.-Terry McGov- ern's victory over Dave Sullivan is ex- piained by Bob Fitzslmmons, who re- fereed the fight. Fitzsimmons has ar rived in Chicago from Louisville, and answers the question as to whether Sul- livan was counted out or was disqualified for going down without being hit.
 Fitzsimmons sticks to the claim he made at the ringside that Sullivan was down fully twelve seconds and was ac- tualIy counted out. Several Chicagoans who saw the battle disagree with the Cornishman as to the count, but Fitzsim- mons says he was doing the counting and ought to know
 Fitzsommons does not go into details regarding his decision, but simply claims that Sullivan was actually counted out and lost for that reason.

Mary Mannerinq.

Mary Mannering as a star in Janice Meredith is one of the biggest attrac- tions to be seen here this season. She Is announced for appearance tonight at the Jefferson Theatre. Much inquiry has been made regarding her coming, and the event will no doubt be huge success in every respect. Every one who has read the book will be anxious to see Miss Manner ing play the part, for surely there is no actress more fitted for the character than this beautiful young Englishwoman with her grace, youth and talent. Nearly ev cry one remembers her as the leading lady of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum The atre Stock Company in New York, which position she occupied for five years. Her stellar career began last season and she has been a phenomenal success, the re- ceipts of Janice Meredith having equaled comparatively the enormous sale of the book.
 Robert Drouet is Miss Mannering's leading man.
