tions were beautiful. Pink and white
camelias were used extensively.
The prince was first received by Mr..
Vanderbilt at the foot of the steps leading
up to the house. Mrs. Vanderbilt re-
ceived him at the door of the drawing
room to the right of the entrance. The
prince arrived. as is his custom, prompt
ly at the appointed hour, which was Z
O'Clock.
All Arrived Promptly.
Ambassador Won Holleben was the first
of the guests to arrive and he had been
followed by others. although it seemed
as though nearly everyone had tried to
arrive as near the exact second as the
prince. AS consequence there was quite
a tumble of carriages.
AS the guests began arriving Sam
Frankos Orchestra, in bower of palms
in a corner Of the drawing room, started
to play, and continued while the dinner
was being served.
The prince took Mrs. Vanderbilt in to
dinner and sat at her right at the centre
of the large table, the German Ambas-
sador sitting en- the left of the hostess
and Mr.. Vanderbilt opposite.
In Uniform by Request.
The chair reserved for the prince was
of red brocade, the imperial color. He
and all of his suite were dressed in naval
uniform, the coats being short, like the
Tuxedo This was at the special request
OF Mrs. Vanderbilt, it having been the
intention TO appear in civilian clothes.
The officers wore their full dress uni

GOLDEN ROSE BLESSED
BY THE HOLY FATHER
Unique Ceremony of the
Fourth Sunday Of Lent.
Name of the Day and Whence It Is De-
rived-Cardinals Compelled to Lay
Aside Their Scarlet.

Twice during her seasons of penitence
Lent and Advent, the church pauses in the
midst of her SORROWS and, looking, as it
sity to the triumph that lies beyond
raises her voice in tones of rejoicing.
These two Sundays are called from the
opening words of the Introit of the mass
said on those days, Gaudete and Laetare.
Blessing Golden Rose.
Laetare Sunday. the fourth in Lent,
which occurred yesterday, is marked also
In another manner. 1t is on this day that
the Holy Father blesses the golden rose.
This flower. wrought of pure gold and
anointed with balsam and musk, is borne
in solemn procession and is blessed at the
hands of the Pope himself. 1t is Of rare
and costly workmanship. and is made of
the purest metal possible.
When the ceremony is completed the
rose is carried back in state from the
papal chapel. and is sent by the Sovereign
Pontiff to a member of one of the Catho-
lie royal families as a reward for note
worthy services to the church
Cardinals in Pink.
In Rome on .his day cardinals do not
appear in their accustomed scarlet. Both
in public and in private they are required
to wear garments of a pale rose-pink
color. In her services the church pre-
scribes that the violet vestments of sor-
row and penance be worn; but in some
of the more ancient usages, among them
the Sarum rite, which prescribed red for
the whole of Lent, this same rose-pink
was worn during the mass on both Gau-
dete and Laetare Sundays. Even at the
present time the Paulist Fathers, in their
church in New York City, st. Paul the
Apostle, make use of this color on the
two Sundays mentioned. All colors used
at the altar have a symbolic meaning.
rose-pink typifying joy in adversity.
In Olden Discipline.
The significance of the days rejoicing
is to be found in the ancient ecclesiasti-
cal discipline. The names OF those of the
catechumens of the primitive church who
were to receive baptism at Easterttde
were on this day enrolled. Thus, fore
seeing these additions to her fold, and
at the same time recognizing that the
time of the reconciliation of the public
penitents on Holy Thursday was drawing
near, the church ceased for moment her
sorrowing and bade the faithful rejoice
and be glad"

ished his hearers by telling them that
he had three sticks OF dynamite in his

Against Judge Tuley the modern Elijah"
was especially vehement, branding the
venerable Judge as a dangerous man. be-
cause, so Dowie asserted, he was mem
Der of a secret society. When Judge

his mind.

POLICE THOUGHT THEY
HAD "TOOTSEY" DUDLEY
Negro in Philadelphia Was
Arrested on Suspicion.
Detectives Tyser and Barbee Failed to
Identify Suspect as the Fugi-
tive Murderer.

The vision of "Tootsey" Dudley, negro.
wanted for the alleged murder of Nellie
Armstead on August 10. 1895, in this city,
passed before the police yesterday, only
to fade away, when Detectives Tyser and
Barbee were sent hurrying to Philadel-
phia to identify the prisoner.
A negro, said to answer the descrip-
tion of the fugitive Dudley. had been ar
rested there, but he was released last
night, following the arrival of the local
detectives who failed to identify him.
Tyser and Barbee will return to Wash
ington this morning. They telegraphed
the fact of the release of the negro late
last night.
Denied He Was a Murderer.
Reports from Philadelphia state that
the negro, who denied from the very first
that he was Dudley, is from Virginia
He was arrested late on Saturday night,
because he answered in many particu-
lars the description sent out long ago OF
Dudley by the local police. Another ne
gro, according to reports, pointed out the
suspect to the Philadelphia police. who
were ludl Ht was Wdutcu III
Washington on charge of murder. This
story simply caused the detention OF the
suspect until the local officers got a look
at him last night.
Since the alleged murder of Nellie Arm
stead which occurred in what is known
as the Camp" Dudley has been fugi-
tive. Nothing has been heard from him.
At the time the killing took place circu-
lars we're sent out and other efforts made
to capture the alleged murderer, but he
has eluded the police of the country.
Yesterday morning, when word first
came OF the arrest of suspect in Phila-
delphia, there was some excitement at
Headquarters. Detective Barbee was sent
Immediately to the Quaker City. On ar
irving there he was not able to decide
whether the prisoner was Dudley or not;
SO he telegraphed for another officer to
come, that there might be no mistake.
Tyser then went to Philadelphia.

Henry of Prussia Attends
His Second American
Social Affair.
WAS A BRILLIANT SCENE
Presidential Reception Committee Gives
Luncheon at the University Club
German Singers Hold Impromptu Con-
cert for His Highness.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Compared 10
the strenuous existence Prince Henry and
his companions led during their todr of
the country. the day probably was one of
restful quiet 1t was a day of keen en-
/ joyment to the prince, and this he showed
I at every stage of it. He was up before
s O'Clock, and soon was busy with his
correspondence and filing in lapses in
his diary, TO which he never fails to give
sore attention each day.
Gathered in Astor Gallery.
Promptly at II O'Clock rhe prince aad
his suite and the members of the Presi-
b dents committee gathered in the Astor
Gallery. Waiting for them were $50
members of the Arion Society, of Brook
lyn. This is the society which, at the
great singing festival held in Brooklyn
go years ago, won the prize given by the
Eaiser.
When the members heard the prince
was coming over here they thought be
might like TO hear the song that hal won
his brothers prize, and so an engagement
WAS made through the German AmbaSsl-
dor for the members 20 meet On board
the Hohenzollern The Sunday before the
prince departed and sing it for him. The
engagement was called off, however. when
the prince was prevented from returning
to the yacht.
Singers Quickly Called.
At the banquet on Saturday night how
ever, the prince met DR.. Schildiger. chair
man of the singing committee OF the So
ciety, and asked If he thought it would
be possible for the members to be got
together in time to give the concert at
the hotel this morning. Although then
after midnight DR.. Schildiger said the
singers would be there, and then and
there he sent $50 kilograms TO the differ
ent members, and followed them up with
messengers telling of the princes wish.
Precisely at the hour appointed every
man was on hand and in the Astor GAL
lery which had been engaged for the con-
cert.
A Private Affair.
The affair was strictly private, abso-
lutely no one being allowed near the
room except the prince and his compan-
ions. The servants gave it out that re-
ligious service was going on. When the
prince entered he found on his chair the
score of die Preis Lied" as the song
that won the Kaiser's prize is called.
1t had been the intention to give only
this one song. The singers thought the
prince would not care to hear any more,
but in this they were mistaken. When
they had finished the prince led the ap-
plause and told them to go ahead.
Then they gave him list of six songs.
and he picked them out one by one.
Should Have Been English.
Only once was he disappointed. This
was when, at his request, they sang My
Old Kentucky Home" They sang it in
German. The prince as 1t proceeded did
not say a word, but when it was finished
he shook his head.
1T should have been in English" he
said to Admiral Evans. That's the only
language to get the full beauty In.
Prince Henry arose and said something
in German-something that pleased the
singers greatly. He said that he had
never heard such sweet singing from male
voices before.
