THE PRINCE in BOSTON.
Governor Crane and Mayor Collins
Welcome Royal Guest.

Governor Crane and Mayor Collins
Welcome Royal Guest.
BOSTON, March Z. Prince Henry of
Prussia was the guest OF Boston yes
terday, and his Welcome to the city
was stately and Cordial. Governor
Winthrop Murray Crane and Mayor
r. A. Collins, acting for state and city,
extended the official courtesies, and
when the prince had tremendously
returned their calls he went to Cam
bridge to deliver to the Germanic mu-
scum the gifts of his brother, the Kali
ser Wilhelm, and to receive from Har-
ward the honorary degree Of doctor of
laws. Harvard's honor to the prince
is precedent, for never before was d
degree conferred under like circun-
stances.
A significant passage in the speech
Of President Eliot, who conferred the
degree, was a reference to the prince
as the grandson Of Queen Victoria.
4 PriAce Henry's first act as a Harvard
man, at the Harvard union shortly
after he received the degree, was to
propose and lead three cheers for Pres
ident Roosevelt, who is Harvard
alumnus. The prince received ca
blegram from his brother, the emperor,
Offering congratulations on the new
honor bestowed.
AT night the prince was given q din
iler by the city of Boston and sat at a
table with more than 200 Of the rep
rssentative citizens OF the common
wealth.
Bright sunlight favored the day after
the storm had dressed the city in snow,
and the entry OF Che prince to the
decorated city, the call Of the noyernor
at Hotel Somerset the visits to the
statehouse and the public library and
the drive through Cambridge, with
crowds, made series OF spectacles
strong in life and color. The entire
reception was dignliled rather than
demonstrative, but 1t lacked none 81

the tour Of the prince.

A Happy Woman Settler.

The following extract is from let
ter written by a young woman OF
thirty or thereabouts, who has taken
mp land in the new Oklahoma reserva-
tion. The letter was written to a
friend in Morristown:
1T came about in this way, Miss B.
and were tired OF the little town
and working every day, so we thought
we would take our chances in new
country We did not come with the
feeling that we must stay, but we
have had such happy, contented
time these three months that think
we may stay here many more. Each
of us made homestead entry for 1850
acres. We brought with us three
horses, two cows. two calves, four
dozen chickens, dog, buggy and a
wagon, beside our housekeeping
things.
There is an Indian reservation a
little way east of us where we spent
most interesting halliday They live
and dress as did their great grand
fathers. but most Of them speak Eng
fish and some are well educated. We
talked with one man who is a grad
nate Of Haskell University. We are
located on one of their favorite wins
ter hunting grounds, but / ana afraid
the white settlers are so thick they
will not come hunting this winter.
there are deer, wolf, coyote, grouse
and quail here. 1t is nothing unusual
to look out and see deer not more
than 200 yards away The weather
has been fine ever since we came here
except few windy days which were
very disagreeable. have part Of
my china, books and pictures with me
and expect to have the rest sent very
soon. Y
This letter was mailed at Wood
ward, Woodward County, Oklahoma,
reaching Morristown on the first mail
of the third day following.

PENALTY SHOULD &c 6 NJ
FORCED.

On February LIST, 1895, the Common
Council Of Morristown passed an or
dinance compelling residents TO clean
the sidewalks after q snowstorm. The
law is apparently dead letter or the
officials are lax in the performance
Of their duties, with the result that
after each storm many Of the side
walks have been left covered with
snow. The dangerous condition Of these
walks has been responsible for q
number Of painful accidents.
In order to refresh the minds Of the
community in general and especially
Of those charged with the enforce
ment Of the laws the Chronicle pub
,lishes the ordinance in full as fol-
lows:
That the owner, occupant or per-
son having the charge or control OF
each and every dwelling house, store
or other building, or lot or lots Of
ground within the corporate limits
Ehall within the first six hours after
daylight after every fall of snow or
hail or after the the formation of any
ice upon the sidewalks in front there
of, cause the said snow or ice, (unless
said ice shall have been perfectly
covered with sand or ashes) to be
entirely removed from said sidewalk
and away from the gctter in front
thereof, under the penalty of five dol
lars for every day said snow or ice
shall he narmittad tn remain unre-
moved, to be forfeited and paid by
the said owner. occupant or person
having the charge thereof severally
and respectively.
1t will be observed that the ordin-
ance also provides for the removal Of
the snow from the cutters another
very generally neglected duty.

The Elizabeth Journal sensibly re-
fers to the game law problem in this
state under the caption of Tinker
ing Game Laws" as follows:
"The legislature is tinkering with
the game laws again. Will it ever
be possible to enact law that will be
satisfactory to all parts of New Jer-
sey? The probabilities are against it,
for in the first place, it is 175 miles
from Sussex to Cape May, and the
game seasons can hardly open and
close the same in every part OF the
State, even if game conditions were
the same everywhere.
Again, game conditions are not
the same in all parts Of the state. In
some game is abundant and needs nc
protection, in others, it will be exter-
minated if not protected.
"Still further, some kinds Of game
like deer-need to be protected
nearly all the time, other kinds-like
quail need protection one year and
not another. SO with fish, and there
fore hard and fast fish and game laws
seem to be impracticable.
And yet, it does seem as if code
could be arranged that would need
less changing than the present laws
seem to require at the hands OF legis-
lators.

MILITARY 70 PROTECT PRESID
DENT.

Section seven Of the bill now pend
ing in the Senate for the protection
Of the President provides that the
secretary Of war shall furnish milf
tary guard.
In the opinion Of Senator Hoar,
who reported the bill from the Ju-
dietary Committee, the duty Of pro-
tecting the president should devoive
on some officer of the government.
The Secretary Of War was chosen by
Senator Hoar to provide a military
guard because the detective police had
failed on three occasions to afford
any protection. Senator Pettus re-
marked that the only blow struck for
the protection of President Mckinley
was by negro. Thus it seems that
the r-thought of the detective
police, intended to rob the giant me-
gro Of all credit for stopping the work
of the assassin. failed
Senator Pettus was quite sure that
a military guard would have prevent
ed all three assassinations and we be-
lieve he is correct. A guard for Lin
coins box at the theatre would have
actually guarded it instead OF per-
hitting stranger to push by and fire
a fatal shot. President Garfield was
shot from behind in Washington
railway station. If guard had been
present he could not have been APP
preached. A guard at Buffalo might
have been efficient, bnt the fatal part
Of the affair was the general hands
shaking that no guard could regulate
unless permitted to interfere with the
presidents wishes.
After three assassinations, congress
is wise to consider effective means
even to strict military guard. Give
the president military guard by all
means if it will insure safety.
