Rosebud Indian reservation in South
Dakota to be opened during the
coming summer contains more than
400, 900 acres Of excellent land.
This will make homes for 2, 500
families, allowing them r6o acres
each, and 100 acres will support
family comfortably upon that fertile
soil. The change from Indian tepees
and scattered corn patches TO cult
waited farms, villages, churches and

Frenchmen Are Pioued,

Paris. Feb. 25.--The visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to the United States
is attracting attention here, and there
Is tinge of irony in the newspaper
comments, which betrays some feeling
of pique at the enthusiasm of his re-
ception. The Temps says: This visit
is not the iron glove, but the hand in
the glove of silk and velvet that Prince
Henry stretches. 1t is somewhat signi-
ficant that the Washington birthday
fetes passed almost unperceived amid
the brilliance of the reception of the
prince, who represents one of the mon
arches, of effete Europe. The great
republic is launched in the very midst
of the information melee and no longer
has time to devote itself to the jealous
and almost exclusive worship of the
glorious memories of It's history" The
Journal Des Debats remarks: THE
Americans must see in Prince Henry's
tlatterng visit fresh proof of the eager
ness of the powers of the old world to
worship the rising sun of this young
and powerful republic, which some OF
them formerly treated as a parvenue,
but before whom the powers today vie
with each other in prostrating them
selves

Prince Henry remained In the draw :
ing room while the ambassadors We're
being received, meeting them separate
~ and alone, the staffs remaining in
the reception room to be greeted later.
Lord Pauncefote was the first to be
ushered before the prince, followed by
the French, Russian, Italian and Mex
lean ambassadors.
At the conclusion of the princes per-
sopal conferences with the amhassa-
doris, he entered the ball room and was
presented to the foreign ministers. and
then to the members of the various
staffs. The scene as these many diplo-
matte officers of high rank mingled
with prince, admirals, generals and
members of many of the noble houses
of Europe, was brilliant. Almost every
famous regiment in Europe was rep
resented among the aoreign military
officers, In rich gold embroidered uni
forms. their breasts replendent with
medals and decorations.
The reception of the diplomatic corps
lasted about an hour.

Il good deal of public attention, but
when the ceremony is performed In
such conspicuous place as the hall
way of the courthouse, located right
in the center of the city, the event
attratcs double attention, and then
other things combined to make it ono
of more than ordinary interest. The
bride was Mrs. Sarah Henson. who
from all indications was in the neigh
borhood of forty yearsof age, and the
81 DOM was a fair-haired, almost beard
less youth, of twenty-five years. Es-
