Life in New York.

New York February H.-Of course, 1t goes without saying, the topic of the greatest interest in thls metropolis has for it's pivot the brother of the German Emperor From the humblest tenement to the most lordly mansion, from the most obscure station to the most lofty, whether in private life or in public, it Is all the same. Prince Henry. But of this so much is written and said that I will barring one exception, pass along without comment.
 That one exception is this, national and municipal responsibility for the safety of the Prince. Not a word is said in the daily press of this. but of all the arrange ments for the reception and entertainment none are more perfect than those which are secretly made and secretly executed to protect the visitor from the cranks and madcaps who cone out of their bur rows on just such occasions as these. The Secret Service in Washington and the Detective Department or the city po- lice will weave around the Prince and his suite the invisible and effective safe guard of the nation and city. From the day of lis arrival until safe away the eyes of Secret Service agents and de- tcetives will watch him, follow him, pre- cede him. surround him. No man will be allowed to approach him who is not vouched for, and If any one should at tempt It he will be stopped by some quiet, calm-faced individual, who up to the mo- ment seemed to have no particular inter- { est in the royal party

 What is the matter with Jerome? His ] dash and daring as a justice of Special Sessions, who insisted upon seeing the
 execution of his own warrants brought him conspicuously before the public and
 gained for him nomination as District
 Attorney, his whirlwind campaign and the sledge hammer speeches he made
 caused voters to push him along so that
 he ran ahead of the ticket; but since, his speeches and acts have caused the same public to wonder if it has not been nasty. It asks the question: Is District Attor- ney Jerome a man of good judgment? It would appear from the evidence that he is head strong, self-willed, unbalanced, easily imposed upon and apt to go oft half cooked. One day he jumps over the rail of a Coroners Court and punches a clerks nose. It was, doubtless well done
