Cambridge Mass, gave a most interesting address be- fore a good sized audience in Warner hall last night on the Social Settlement Idea" The address was ln the nature of an iu- troductory to meeting for the purpose of inviting persons to become members of the Lowell house. It was also the occasion of the annual meeting of the Lowell house.

Nor is it the dispenser of charity, T small fee being expected as far as possible, from all who avail them selves of its privileges.

BRY1N IN NEW FORK.
Tells the Press Club of His Newspaper
 Work,

New York March 5.-W. J. Bryan club this evening, the occasion being the regular monthly smoker. MT. Bry- an made short address. He was in- troduced by William Cullen Bryant, president of the club. who said MT. Bryan was a newspaper man now and had been asked to tell how much easier it was to run for president than to get paying advertisements for paper Mr Bryan began by saying that he had not gone into newspaper work en- trely of his own free will but was led into it by circumstances after he had become convinced that his oratory was not sufficiently clear to convince a ma iority of the people that his ideas were good.
 MT Bryan then spoke of the work of newspaper men and said he believed that there is no greater or more respon- sble work. The greatest danger of to- day, he said, is that when newspaper sets out to tell the truth it does not tell it all. A part of fact he said, is of- ten a contra diction of the fact.
 Speaking of adverse criticism to which men in politics are subject, he said he saw now reason why the men should complain
 Tt is better" he said, that any number of men should suffer from free press than that the world should suffer the loss of the truth that comes from the free press. No government should object to free speech. That is how it's errors are pointed out. If it is a government that objects to free sneech it is a government that needs it,'' for paper
 Referring to the work of the editor Mir Bryan said that the man who serves his coulftry with heart and brain is more of a patriot than he who fights in hattie.
 Tn conclusion he said that the news nnners of to-day would be more potent for good if some one of reputation was responsible for all the editroial utter

until he had sold all the copies of the preceding one.
 | Lars Moeller is the name of the editor and publisher of this little Greenland
 newspaper, He has made his paper very useful because he has stimulated
 desire among the natives to learn to
 read. For some years past the paper | has been printed as monthly publica- tion but it is now appearing once in every two weeks.
 | Years ago, when Nordenskjold made | his trip inland on the great ice cap of southern Greenland he was accompa- nied by this ESquimauX, Lars Moeller | who confided to the explorer his anbi-
 tion to become journalist. The young 1 man was clever with his pencil, and he showed pictures he had drawn and that he thought would interest his compatri- ots and make them anxious to learn to read. Nordensktold was very much inl- pressed with the intelligence, industry
 and ambition of the young Esquimaux, and on his return to Sweden he sent him printing press and supply of ink and paper.
 In the course of time Lars who had become proficient in reading and writ ing, acquired the art of setting type and running the printing press. Then he added another accomplishment, which
 was perhaps the basis of his success as publisher He studied the methods of engraving on stone, and after a while
 he was able to transfer to stone, rough ly to be sure, but with some degree of adequacy, the drawings he made. The first copies of his paper contained only pictures, such as scenes of hunting in Greenland, and also simple pictures
 based upon those made in Europe,
 showing some interesting phases of life among foreign peoples. He found that the pictures excited much interest among the Esqumaux.
 Then he began to print some descrip- tive matter in the Esqur1naux language
 under the pictures. A considerable
 number of the natives had learned to
 read and they could tell their friends
 what was written in the descriptions;
 thus many of the natives gradually be-
 came desirous of reading themselves so
 that unaided they might find what the pictures were about. Lars Moeller's lt-
 tie paper probably did more than any
 other one agency to stimulate desire
 to learn reading and writing. Several
 thousands of the natives Of south
 Greenland can now read the Bible and
 other books published in EsquimauX.
 Finally the editor began to include in
 his paper items of news with regard to
 Greenland affairs and prices of cider down, skins and such other commercial information as was of practical value to the natives. They began to look for the coming of their newspaper as an event promising both pleasure and profit. So the little newspaper of Godthaab now wields considerable influence in Green land and is interesting to many foreign CTS because it's letter press and mechan- ical features, including it's rather re- markable engravings are entirely the product of Lars and his associates. In addition to his newspaper he has pub tshed a number of little books in Els quimaux which are devoted to the pres ervation of Esquimaux gables and tra- ditions.-New York Sun,

pRiNCr,s pRHsrIaE IN GERMANY
Increased by Ills Trip to the United
 States.

Berlin, March 5-Relief is felt here that the flight of Prince Henry of Prus- sia through the United States is draw ing to close without any untoward in- cident, for while Emperor William has had entire confidence as to the safety of the prince, others have had misgivings that some Polish fanatic in Chicago, wrought up over the conflicts and na- tional feeling in Polish Prussia. might attempt something violent.
 The prestige of Prince Henry has been immensely increased in Germany by the impression he has made upon the Americans, His behavior in the United States is looked upon here as natural, dignified and happily adapted to the character of the Americans. Af- ter his return home the prince will probably be entrusted with a larger share in public affairs, the impression being that Emperor William will find something else of first importance for him to do,

PRINCE AT NIAGARA FALLS

| All through the morning as the train ran through q corner of Pennsylvania and out into the state of New York there were crowds at the stations anx- ious to see the prince. Al Buffalo Mayor Knight welcomed the prince and the local German singing societies sang. It was 2:45 o'clock when the special ar rived at Buffalo and fifteen minutes later it was steaming out to Niagara Falls. At Niagara Falls station the prince was met by Mayor Butler and a large reception committee and formally welcomed to the city.
 When Mayor Butler concluded Dr. Snyder spoke in behalf of the Germans of the city
 The prince did not make speech in response but thanked both of them for their greeting.
 The prince was then driven to the Canadian side, accompanied by a mounted escort made up of local mii- tia officers. Midway on the bridge which spans the rapids the prince was met by the man who spoke for the Ca nadian government and people, Major F. s. Smaude, military secretary for Lord Minto, governor general of Cana da, presented the formal greeting of his chief, and the Hon. R. Harcourt, minis ter of education for Ontario, delivered the address presented by the leglsla- ture. The latter was worded as follows: May it please your royal highness, we, the legisla tive assembly of the province of Ontario. in parliament assembled beg leave to approach your royal high ness for the purpose of presenting to you the congra tulations of the assembly on the occasion of your visit to this province.
 We hail with joy the presence on our soil of so distinguished descendant of our late beloved queen, and We assure your royal hghness that in no part of the British empire are the cordial rea- tions which exist between the various branches of the Teutonic races regarded with more satisfaction than they are in Canada.
 We have in this province many thousands of citizens who regard with praiseworthy affection the German em- pire as their fatherland, and we have pleasure in assuring your royal high ness that they eXemplify in this com paratiVely new country those virtues

Coffee was Doing the Work in Good Style

Members of the same family are af- fected differently by coffee drinking. One may feel the effect of q disordered stomach while another may have no trouble with the stomach so far as known but have palpitation of the heart and finally organic heart disease, or perhaps in another the kidneys may be- come affected
 As an illustration, family in Mur- physboro, H., reports an experience. Mrs Cole discovered that the sour stom- ach and nervous restless nights were caused by coffee drinking. Her mother suffered from nervousness when coffee was used, while the brother of the fam- 1lv became a wreck directly from coffee drinking,
 Mrs Cole, in her letter says, referr- ing to her brother, "He went from one physician to another and his case pug zled them all until he had tried ii diff ferent physicians. Some thought he had apoplexy, others locomotor ataxia, some advised operations to relieve the pressure at certain points, altogether his case became so alarming that we were afraid to have him alone. He 1feQuenIly ldlllleu elNelys oii1 NS" III h most wretched condition.
 Finally one of the physicians sug- gested that possibly coffee brought on some of the symptoms, so he was per shaded to give up coffee and begin the use of Postum Food Coffee. Then he began to recover, and day by day the old troubles left. Now he has gotten entirely we'll, has gained about 30 hounds and is the picture of health. Of course he and his family use Postum reo,,lerlv, He savs he would as soon drink a spoonful of poison as of old fashioned coffee.
 When we first began to make Postum it was boiled but a few minutes and none of us liked it, but since We began making it properly by having it boil long enough to bring out the flavor we all consider it superior to the old fashioned coffee. It is delicious when made right and that is easy.
 A number of our friends have been cured of various ailments by leaving off coffee and using Postum. With Mrs. - the coffee caused a smothering sen sation, bloating and serious trouble with the heart She has entirely re- covered since changing from common coffee t
