Mayor Higginson Speaks.

No sooner had the prince become seat
ed than Director Frantz started the Ia
spring Fair Harvard" which was sung
with vim. President Eliot Joined in the
singing, and Prince Henry intently read
the words. which were printed on the
programme.
Mr.. Derby then addressed the prince and
introduced Mayor Higginscn, who vel
coined the prince and said:
Now, Harvard students. our greeting
to Emperor William" and the famous
Harvard yell was given with such force
as 10 bring n happy smile to the face Of
President Eliot, while the closing word
a long-drawn-out Emperor William"
thrice repeated. gave the prince much
pleasure.
Il. c. Boiling. law school man. well
coined the prince on behalf OF the stu
dent body and the welcome to the visitor
was continued in poem written and read
by s. NJ. Green, 1902.

Agreed to Bestow Degree.

Shortly before the arrival OF Prince
Henry in Cambridge there had been spe-
cial university meeting in the directors
room, at which il was formally deter
mined TO confer upon Albert William
Henry, Prince Of Prussia, the honorary
degree OF doctor of laws.
Just how long Prince Henry had been
aware that this honor was to be bestowed
upon him by Harvard University there is
no means of knowing. The fact had been
printed in the newspapers and the tele-
gram from his brother coming so soon
upon the heels of the event would sug-
Rest that the distinguished visitor must at
least have had some little prior ininrTga-
tion of what was coming.
The final and formal decision 10 cont.
the degree upon him was not, howcI
reached until the special meeting aboN
mentioned.

Work in First Stage.

He has ordered me TO hand over to
you these photographs of reproductions
OF monuments which are going to be re-
produced in casts. The work. If may saw
IT, Is Just in its first stages. The casts
are now being made. and it will be about
tour months before the German Emperor
is able to send them and put them in
your hands. .s-isoI
May not then offer these to you,
PRESIDENT Elicit" and he handed to Presi-
dent Eliot large portfolio of photogranhs
OF German monuments and other pieces of
German architecture. Continuing. the
prince said:
II Is meant for the welfare, of course.
OF the nation as well as of the university"
and this remark brought forth applause.
The Washington times., 1902-03-07
DR.. Eliot's Reply

President Eliot. in response said:
We wish to acknowledge oilr sincere
thanks for this splendid gift from your
brother and sovereign. We feel that he
is acting in this respect il, fun accord
with the American methods Of promoting
education. He has given us an endowment
and this university is constructed Of the
endowments OF friends
Il need not say that such an action as
this practical endowment will be of the
highest value. not only in teaching the
history and development of the German
people, but Will also serve as an illus
tration CT that nations intelligence
power and progress. and as Mr. Putnam
mas already said, trace our lineage
back to yours. and We know that this
collection which his Majesty the En-
peror has given u Will represent to the
people OF Cambridge the ancient arts of
Germany. whose civilization was devel-
oped even before the white man had OBJ
tained footing upon these shores.
Thanks to the Emperor.
'Will you have the kindness to carry
to your brother the most hearty thanks
OF Harvard University for these valuable
contributions to its collections"
The applause which greeted President
Eliot's closing words stopped suddenly. as
it was seen that Prince Henry desired to
respond, and ii broke out again with re-
newed vigor when he said, in an impress
siye tone:
Il hope 1t will promote good feeling be-
tween the two nations"
Banquet in Evening.
Next to his visit to Harvard the most
important event on the programme of
Prince Henry's trip to Boston was the
banquet given him this evening at the
Hotel Somerset by the city. 1t was a no.
table gathering of representative men of
Boston. Plates were laid for 225 in a |
dining room resplendent with flowers, |
and the royal guest manifested the great |
est interest in the remarks m ie by the |
speakers.
PREY ious to the banquet the prince re- |
ceivcd the German women of the city in |

School Children Sing.

The snow in front of the city hall had all
been cleared away and in the large space
to the right of the entrance 1900 school
children We're assembled TO welcome the
prince with songs. The superintendent Of
schools, Mr.. Cogswell, and the musical
director, Mr.. Chapman. were at their
head, and as the princes carriage cane
to a stop in front OF tie building they
greeted him with The Star Spangled
Banner"
In the midst of this very pretty scene
the committee representing the munich
pality. who were awaiting his kighness'
arrival, walked down the steps OF the city
hall and advanced TO greet him.
The Washington times., 1902-03-07
Impressed by Children.

Mayor MacNamee, after introductions
and an exchange of conventional cour-
tesies. then presented to the prince the
handsome testimonial that had been pre-
pared for the occasion. There was no
speechmal;ing.
Prince Henry seemed to be more i'm
pressed By the children and their ace
full attention to him than By anything else
in the ceremony.
All this was merely preliminary TO the
reception CT the univ ersity. That began
at Memorial Hall, whittier the prince was
driven as soon as the municipal greet
ings were over. There President Eliot
dressed in his black gown barred with
velvet. was waiting to receive him.
An Impressive Greeting.
Back of him and about him we're the
fellows, the members of the faculty in
their gowns the overseers, the Governor
and his staff. and a great crowd of spec
tators.
The greetings of the prince on his ar
rival at Memorial Hail was as impress
sive in its way as was the occasion
unique. He had driven from the city hall
accompanied in his carriage by Judge
Francis c. Lowell and Major Henry L.
Higginson, representing the corporation
of Harvard University, and by Admiral
Evans.

OLD COUNTRY RECIPES.
Irish Fage or Potato Cake. English
Rabbit and Scotch AthoI Brose.

Old country dishes are apt to be
what old country people call hearty
food" There are still few left among
us, however, who sniff at statistics on
scientific sustenance, and like Max
O'Rell's yellow ribboner, "eats what
they likes and drinks what they likes
and does what they please"
An old country dish not only has a
local habitation and a name, but it's
own particular season as well.
Faye or Potato Cake.
This dish, for instance. is a fixed in
stitution for an Irish Saturday evening
supper. 1t may be made of left-overs
saved by the frugal housewife, or take
a quart of potatoes, cut off strip of
peel at each end and boil them in their
jackets till tender. Drain and remove
skins. Beat the potatoes with a fork
till quite smooth, adding a tablespoon
flu of butter and a cup of cream or
rich milk as the beating goes on. Prop
erly beaten. the mixture should be as
white and light as whipped cream.
Flour your breadboard and turn out
the potato on it. Dredge well and roll
as you would pie crust. Continue this

MODERN FABLES|s
BY GEORGE AIDE. ra~ Nx S%HR

Once there was a staid Business Man
who was hooked up with a hoop-la
Spender. 1t was often remarked that
Hiram's Wife seemed to take it for
granted that Treasury Notes grew on
Trees. She wore these long lozenge-
shaped Rings that blind the Spectator,
and she had a different Sunburst for
every Day in the Week and Diamond
Tarara that made the other Women
sizzle with Envy. She wore trailing
Worth Gown that kept coming into
the Room long after she had entered.
Now and then she would give a
Party at which $50 worth of Spinach
would be hung on the Chandeliers. The
highest-priced Caterer in Town would
deal out the sparkling Conversation
Water as if Brut and Buttermilk cost
about the same.
She was. in very Sooth, among the
highest of the Rollers, but Hiram stood
for the Bills with nary a Whimper. He
was proud to be the Husband of the

his old antagonist, Joseph G.. Cannon,
TO his feet. He inundated Hepburn
with questions, which were pointedly
answered. and finally subsidized with
out making any attempt to postpone
the consideration of the measure. And
this is why the man from Iowa is again
at the front, with the acclamations of
the people of the United States still
ringing in his ears. If his confreres
in the Senate are as fully imbued with
the spirit that has animated him for
the last seventy-two months, the Pan
anna Canal Company win quietly take
back seat and the stuoendous work
be begun without further delay. Hep
burn will then take a new lease of
life and crowd still farther to the front.
But the man from Iowa is at the
front all along the line. David B. Hen
derson has not pushed him there as
ruthlessly and persistently as Tom
Reed showed his colleagues from Maine
He occupies 40 place to which he is not
entitled under precedent and by virtue
of experience. During the Spanish war
he was at the front to some purpose

Military Affairs. 1t was through his

experience in the House, he took the
head of the Committee on Military At
fairs and has had charge of it ever
since. His work has been arduous and
incessant and his influence widespread.
But the man from Iowa runs TO the
esthetic as we'll as the useful John r.
Lacey. chairman of the Committee on
Public Lands, is the man who forced
through Congress the bill for the pro-
lection of birds. His efforts were
crowned with success, and he is over
whelmed with letter from ladies in eV-
cry state in the Union expressing their
qualification at the result. The work
of destruction has ceased and Ameri-
can song birds have increased in num-
Der and were features in all our parks
and public gardens last summer. The
law has stopped the killing of game
birds out of season and has prevented
the indiscriminate slaughter of gulls
and plumed birds. About the only bird
now killed with impunity is the Eng
fish sparrow
Far reaching is the power of the man
from Iowa in the House. He appears
in the Committee on Elections, on
Banking and Currency, on Coinage, on
Commerce, on Agriculture, on Foreign
Affairs, on Postoffices. on Indian and
Insular Affairs, on Buildings and
Grounds. on the Mississippi Levees, and
on Pacific Railroads, and a score of less
important engines of legislation. There
is no longer any doubt about 1.-THE
man from Maine has gone, and the
man from Iowa is here. 1t may be for
veal or it may be for woe. Time will
tell. Amos j. Cummings.
