l distance, when compared with conditions as they existed one hundred years ago | have practically been annihilated and | nations are now more closely bound to- | gether than were the early settlers upon our frontiers when this governmnt was ] founded. A little more than two weeks ago you set sail from the fatherland and today you are in the very heart of this great republic. We welcome you, sir, as the representative of that nation | which has given so many substantial | citizens to our community, whose sterl- ing integrity and exalted patriotism have endeared them to those with whom their lot has been cast. Earnestness of pur- pose and a determination to succeed are l the well recognized charactistcs of the | German-American citizen. In the early days of our republic there lived near this city a man who has left the in- | press of his genius indelibly stamped upon the history of the world.
 "On January 8, 1915, at New Orleans, with less than six thousand sturdy rife men he destroyed the flower of the Brit ish army under Rockingham, killed its commander and more men than were ac- tually engaged in the battle on the Amer
 can side and established forever the right of these United States to take their place among the nations of the world. All that | is mortal of that soldier, statesman and patriot, Andrew Jackson, sleeps peacefully at his old home The Hermitage near this spot tenderly cared for by patriotic women whose honor he was ever ready to risk his life to defend. We have within the past week had cut from near that home this cane, which we desire to pre- sent you in all its natural simplicity as souvenir typical of the life and character of that great man.
 Compare Jackson to Frederick.
 You will find that his iron will in- domnitable energy and his influence upon | he destiny of this nation, bear a strong | resemblance to that of your illustrious kinsman, the great Frederick, in laying | the foundation of the present German empire which your grandfather, William. succeeded in building and binding to- gether. We present th you, sir, this sim pie souvenir from the tomb of Andrew Jackson-the typical American citizen, statesman and patriot. I am also request ed on behalf of the German-American | society of the city, to present to you this beautiful floral design as a simple expression of the sweet memories they 1 yet retain for the dear old Fatherland. And, as your highness has expressed desire to hear some of those old negro melodies, the memories of which still lin ger around the old plantation quarters. but which are fast passing away and which delighted you when a child, we have arranged for the jubilee singers, un- der the leadership of Mrs. Moore, who conducted their successful tour over the continent and who received such marked consideration, to again render for you some of those same songs which never grow old with us and which seem to have charmed your royal hghness."

 Officer Lost His Sword. At Chattanooga Lieutenant Commander | Won Grumme lost his small sword It was a handsome weapon and the local police were asked to search for it. It was thought that 1t was left somewhere 1 by accident rather than that it was | stolen.
 Prince Henry addressed a telegram to MT and Mrs. Ogden Mills, accepting an invitation to breakfast with them at their home in New York on Saturday next.
 The route through the Cumberland Mountains offered some stretches of pretty scenery. The streams were high and rapid and filled the gorges below the train. The prince had a day of sight seeing and when not otherwise engaged kept up an animated line of 1 questioning and comment with Admiral Evans and those around him. The recep- ticn that he got at Bolwling Green pleased him fully as much as the larger ones. Judge Simms a venerable citizen, mount ed the rear platform of the Columbia and In the name of Kentucky presented the prince with some fine old peach brandy and whisky. The prince gravely accepted the gift and and faithfully promised the judge that he would drink some of 1t the first time he got thirsty It was sentiment that pleased the judge and nis fellow citizens and they cheered enthusiastically and the prince from the moving train waved them farewell.
