"These are the structure-forming food

Banquet in Honor Of Prince Henry = Guests
Number One Thousand


New York. Feb. 27.--Prince Henry
of Prussia dined last night with 900 of
the men who make American newspa-
pers. He was the special guest Of Her
man Ridder, proprietor Of the New
York Stats zeitung, who gathered st
his table majority Of the leading fig-
ures in American journalism. They
came from the four quarters Of the
country, and made the most noteworthy
gathering of their profession ever as
sembled in the United States.
There was 8 felicitous exchange of
greetings between Prince Henry and
the men who spoke for the journalistic
craft, and the affair claims rank with
one of the notable incidents in the
American tour of the German prince.
The dinner was given in the handsome
ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria, but
that immense room was not large
enough to accommodate the newspaper
guests, and the Astor gallery was also
used. The two rooms we're splendidly
decorated. Mr.. Ridder and the special
guest sat at an elevated table, above
which were the American and German
flags. The slaves we're crossed and the
banners, draped fanlike, reached out
like the wings of huge butterfly.
Above them was the .Prussian Eagle,
done in incandescent lights. From
the boxes hung vines, and set in on the
lodges we're hundreds of palms. Each
table carried boquets of American
Beauties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE war de-

Capt. Henry T. Allen, Sixth cavalry.
dated Manila, Dec. Is, concerning the
philippine constabulary, of which he is
chief Capt. Allen says the eonstabularv
consisted of $500 men, and was able to
control, without the aid Of troops, the
provinces of Abra, Bontoc, Union. Lep-
anto, Bouquet, Nueva Viscaya. Ratsan
Principe and Infanta.
Up to the date of the report there had
been only two men lost from the force
by deseruon-a showing attributed to the
care in the selection of the men. Cant
Allen says that experience has shown
that the cost of a single constable for
one year does not exceed $3.50 gold. while
the cost Of maintaining an American
soldier ordinarily is reckoned at about
$1,000.
Capt. Allen states that in chasing down
the robber bands the constabulary un-
questionably is more efficient than the
American troops, and while one large
garrison in many Of the provinces may
be always necessary, it is his opinion,
after thorough study of conditions, that
in one years time 1900 American sol
dlers, with the native contingent Of
troops and the constabulary will suffice

Schiffmann with the short-arm jab he
had aimed at the oil inspectors neck,
Harry Miller landed an uppercut in de-
fense of the boss, and the harmony was
