She will not command, is what she means,

kind to command. though her slightest wish
has all the force of a royal edict. You must not

The Princess showed her annoyance at the
Margrave's fiattery, and Fritz Henry was
amused at the expression on Adolphs face,

tongue that IS not understood by those stand

She evidently was endeavoring to keep the
conversation going until Adolph should leave,
when she would speak what was IN her mind.
Presently the Margrave departed, and the Prln-
cess said somewhat hurriedly:
- want to thank you for your ready and
generous help to my brother this morning at

The thing itself was small. returned Wilhel-

Alaska is looming as a land in which
fortunes can be gotten out of the soil in
ways other than those of the miner
The annual report of the special agent
in charge of all the agricultural stations
in the territory claims that Alaska is
an agricultural country, because good
hay can be produced in large quantities
for winter feeding, while the native
grasses 'can maintain live stock in ex-
cellent condition in summer" As for
other products, the agent says potatoes.
cabbage, cauliflower, rhubarb, turnips,
lettuce, and in short all the hardy vege-
tables, can be grown TO perfection up
to and even within the Arctic Circle All
that is needed to develop Alaska agricul-
turally is the building of rail and wagon
roads to enable enterprising people to
get back and forth from their country
homes. This sounds good, from a place
that is generally considered frigid gold
country.

Everybody will be glad that though
Walter Wellman's airship was wrecked
Mr.. Wellman himself and the members
of his party escaped injury in the third
of the Wellman expeditions to reach the
North Pole by balloon. There are CEN
serious critics who sniff at his undertake
ing. They object to the notion of a news
paper correspondent making the news
which he reports The thing has been
done on many occasions, however. 1t
was done when the New York Herald
sent Stanley into Central Africa to dis
cover Livingston, who was not lost
though he had been out of communica-
ton with civilization for so long that
fears had been aroused as to his safety.
1t is done when reporters work out their
own theories regarding criminal happen
ings which battle the detectives When
well done it never fails to enlist popular
interest and win share of applause.
There can be no serious question of
Wellman's good faith He has carried
on his quest for the North Pole at the
risk Of his life, and it is by reason of
his enthusiasm in the cause that he
wears an artificial leg.

There is no lesson in the steamboat
collision and sinking off the harbor of
Montevideo, South America, by which
three hundred persons lost their lives,
except that which recommends compul-
sorry adoption of the compartment prin-
ciple of contraction for all steamers for
passenger traffic. Mistakes will be made
until the end of time, and steamers will
collide as a result of them All that can
be done is to make passenger craft so
nearly non-sinkable that when accidents
occur those on board may have oppor-
tunity to escape in the boats, or onto
rescuing craft. Had the Columbia.
which was sunk off Montevideo, been a
well-compartmented ship she would have
remained afioat until all of her passen-
gers and crew had been rescued by the
coliding ship.

An experiment of interest to automo-
bilists is to be made in London, where on
chosen Sunday, for eight hours, horse
drawn vehicles will be excluded from the
area in the Westminster district, where
traffic will be confined to auto-cabs and
buses. The experiment is for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the advantages
of automobiles over horse traffic. in
cleanliness, silence, speed and control. 1t
will cost something, because free transit
must be provided in automobiles for
those who would otherwise cross the area
in horse-drawn vehicles, and it is esti-
mated that thousand pounds sterling
will have 20 be spent in this manner.
The fact that this sum is being raised by
popular subscription reveals promising
popular interest in the movement for the

Cursory reading of newspaper head
lines and date-lines is often responsible
for wrong impressions, and accounts no
doubt for the assumption that the most

the ancient city of Sienna. The earth
quake was in the province of Sienna.
1t shook the city, but threw down none
of its buildings. The place where all
the buildings were thrown down was a

MRS. POTTER RETIRES.
Well Known Actress Disappointed
Over Failure in Vaudeville.

New York. Feb. 24-With her
health impaired by worry over her re-
cent disappointing essay in vaude-
vile here. Mrs. James Brown Potter
has left the stage and probably never
will be seen behind the footlights
again. Her recent reconciliation with
her daughter Mrs. James Stillman,
jr., has been solidified and she is now
living with the young woman at 10
East Seventy-second street.
In addition, Mrs. James Stillman,
ST., is said now to be on most cordial
terms with Mrs. Potter and has pre-
vailed on her intimate friends to ex-
tend a welcome to the retired actress
and it is not impossible that Mrs. Pot
ter will be received by at least a sec
ton of New York society.
Just now Mrs. Potter is in
seclusion. She has been at the point
of nervous prostration, not only over
her failure to please American aud
fences, but also because of clashes
with her management which caused
her to end her Boston engagement
very hurriedly. The critics were not
kind and Mrs. Potter wanted to quit
at the end of her first week, in fact
she played only three weeks out of an
eight weeks engagement.
- William Morris, who had engaged
Mrs. Potter at a salary of $4,000 a
week, was not in town tonight. In
his absence E. Pigeon said that the
actress had quit voluntarily.
When Mrs. Potter arrived from
England to enter vaudeville in New
York it was said that her relatives
would endeavor to make her tour a
failure.
