'H]ESHOT DEER AT Loo
Prince Henry Slaughtered Pets in
Queen Wilhelmina's Park.
REASON OF HIS UNPoPuLAR1rY
to the Exclusion Of Any
Helpful Work.

According to private letters received in
Minneapolis from Holland reports OF
Prince Henrys unpopularity are not en-
tirely without foundation The stories re-
garding strained domestic relations with
Queen Wilhelmina are credited to social
list papers which are not to be believed
but the fact that the prince conscrt is
non persona grata to the Hollanders is
not disguised. The letter says:
Prince Henry has not SO far, succeeded
in making himself popular in this cout,tr,
neither Cf rumors are to be bclieved) in cour,
circles nor among the lower classes What
have more than anything else made him
Objectionable are his nimrod inclinations
The royal parks Of the Loo one of the
summer residences Of our queen, are richly
stocked with deer; but King William III
never hunted them, at least not as long as
can remember, nor did anybody else during
the years Of the regency. The animals have
therefore, become all but tame, and grea
was the indignation land openly was it ex
pressed in leading papers) when Prince Henry
shot them for his amusement-and continues
to do so. / think it was this Objectionable
proceeding, and the fact that many papers
continually made mention Of the fact, which
made him unpopular; for SO far his name has
never, or hardly ever, appeared in connection
with anything else, say art, education OF
one of the many things in which he ought
to have found useful sphere Of work. Il
seems to me that this is at the bottom o.
all the loathsome SANDER about his relation:
toward the queen. 1t was started by some
gocialistic papers, but no right thinking mar
or woman in the country believes wore
of it.

PLEASING ITS PATRONS
The Royal Italian Band Playing to
Good Houses.

The Royal Italian Band Playing to
Good Houses.
A good sized audience greeted the Royal
Italian band at, the Metropolitan opera
house last evening and If insistent ap
pause and encores are any Indication,
were more than delighted with the even
ing's offerings. The program consisted
of a number of selections which the band
had given here before and which were
rendered with the usual spirit and dash.
The important number, however, was an
arrangement Of Act w from DoniZetti's
La Favorita," which, while rendered as
we'll, perhaps, as 1t could be by a band,
was still hardly successful as an arrange
ment. 1t was quite enjoyable and was
given hearty reception.
Ponchielli's Ia Gioconda," finale of
Act III, was given magnificent produc-
ton and was easily the finest thing of the
evening. Chopin's Funeral March, with
its somber stateliness, was also we'll re-
ceived and encored. The "Traumerei,"
by Schumann, does not deserve band
treatment, but should always be rendered
by orchestral. wind instruments deprive
it of it's intangible and delicate witchery.
The solos by Miss Heintzen and Signor
De Mitris were both encored and each
was deserving Of the compliment, al
though scarcely played with the effect of
which each is capable. To-night's pro-

LIGHT ON ELECTION LAW


Inquiries Regarding New Primary
Law Are Answered..
In response to several inquiries from
county officials regarding the operation OF
the new state primary election law, As
sistant Attorney General C. w. Somerby
has prepared an opinion as to the divi-
sion Of expense for the ballots and the
methods of securing places on the bal
lot. ell writes in part as follows:
In all city elections the county auditor pre-
pares the city ballot and orders the same
printed and published in the official county
paper, the publication to consist of as many
ballots as there are various forms used; for
example, the various ward ballots, etc. The
county auditor is required to transfer all fees
received from candidates for city offices to the
city treasurer, and it is my opinion that the
expenses for the city primary election should
be borne by the city. The matter of printing
and publishing the ballots should be paid by
the county auditor, and the county, in turn,
should be reimbursed by the city.
Under the primary election act Of 1901, 1t
is not imperative for candidate of a city
Office to declare his party utilization unless
he desires to stand as the candidate of a
recognized political party, or of party de-
string to become recognized political
party. He may, by securing q petition, Sc
cure place the ballot and run indie
pendently'
