Popular American Hosts.
American women are such success
full and charming entertainers that we
have been inclined TO overlook Ameri-
can men as hosts. Yet over here
there are scores OF American men
who have become notably successful
entertainers and social favorites.
For instance. at Nice there is Ed
ward ROYAL Tyler, of Boston, whose
entertainments are the theme OF
every tongue. His invitations TO re-

GIVEN EIGHT SH|LL|NGS.
Reward Of Swiss Railroad Employe
Who Saved Sixty Lives and
Prevented a Wreck.

Especial Cable to Herald Republican,
Geneva, April 9.-The proverbiaI greedi-
ness Of corporations is emphasized in the
case of a gatekeeper named ALBANIAN, who
is employed by the Federal Railway COM
pany. This faithful workman received
the ridiculous reward of eight shillings
mot quite $500 for saving the lives of
sixty people and about $4,000 for the
company in damages.
During the heavy rains and floods in the
csntons of Geneva and Vaud at the end
Of last January ALBANIAN, hearing an I'M
usual kissing sound. walked along the
lines, having a presenument that there
was something wrong. He found that
a stream flowing from the Jura mountains
into Lake Geneva had become torrent,
and. overlooking its banks. had swept
away about thirty yards of the perma-
nent way, leaving the rails suspended in
the air.
As the Geneva-Lausanne express, trav
cling at sixty miles an hour. was due in
a few minutes, and would be precipitated
into the torrent with its sixty passengers,
ALBANIAN ran to his little house for a red
flag and stopped the express fifty yards
from the suspended rails and then re-
turned home pleased with the fact that he
had prevented a terrible accident. Some
days ago the news of the affair arrived at
the Berne headquarters of the Federal
Railway company, and the Swiss man.
ayers thought that such an act on the
part Of a gatekeeper should be rewarded.
After due consideration he was awarded
the scandalOus amount mentioned above.
The Swiss newspapers are Indignant over
the matter and criticise the company Sc
verely.

MASS STOPPED At ONCE.
Exeommunicated Priest Creates a
CommOtiOn in tn eGreat Cathe-

Especial Cable to Herald republican,
Milan, April 9.-An extraordinary scene
has occurred at the Cathedral of Pisa. A
solemn requiem mass was being cele-
brated for the repose Of the soul of the
Grand Duke OF Tuscany, when Don Ro-
molo Murri, a priest and the leader Of
the italian Christian democratic move
ment, against whom Plus X had hurled
the major communication, entered the
cred edifice clad in the sacerdOtal cas-
sock, which he has never laid aside.
According to the canon law, the pres
ence of a sOlemnly communicated cleric
at Hturgical function is tantamomt to
that of his satanic majesty himself. Hence
the clergy obeyed its requirements, and
Immediately Don MuITfs presence became
known, stopped divine service, and, sum-
moning the cathedral guards and canons,
babe them eject the great churchman,
who was quietly kneeling and saying his
prayers.
The guards declined, on the plea that
such action rendered them liable to arrest
for an infraction of the civil law. The
city police were then called but contented
themselves by giggling. Murri remained
calmly reciting his breviary for about
half an hour, and then, after admiring
the glorious architecture Of the building,
retired as unostentatiOusly as he had en-
tered. 1t was only then that high mass
was proceeded with.

FEARS ARE GROUNDLESS
Prince Henry of Prussia Assures Brit

Love for Them.

Especial Gable TO Herald Republican,
London, April 9.-The recent visit OF
Prince Henry Of Prussia, and his sub
sequent speech at Hamburg, has done a
great deal towards allaying the fears Of
those statesmen who stand in constant
dread of Germany. Prince Henry's Ham
burg speech was made before the Asiatic
society and he said he left England
with a thankful heart.
Hospitality, love and frankness were the
foundations on which the life Of their
English cousins rested He had been over
there in an absolutely unofficial capacity.
but he had spoken with many influential
personages and could assure those present
that an honorable, sincere friendship was
offered to Germany by Great Britain.
The idea of aggressive action was com
pletely absent from the minds of gov
eminent circles there. That, however,
rested on reciprocity. Nothing must be
omitted that might serve to strengthen
the confidence Of the two nations in each
other. The old saying, Confidence be-
gets confidence" was here applicable.
The Germans had fought shoulder to
shoulder with the British in East Asia,
and had learned by experience that their
respective interests were best promoted By
reciprocal confidence. The officers Of the
navy were sincere in their friendly feel
ings For that he could answer. But

Prince Frederick Henry of Prussia, eldest
son of the late Prince Albrecht (regent
Of Brunswick), has embraced Roman
Catholicism, has ceded his entire for
tune to the Roman Catholic church, and
has entered an Italian monastery as a
monk.
Prince Frederick Henry has had a re-

him never to return home. After wan

he became sick at heart and sought con-
ISOLATION in the Roman church.
He gave up life of pleasure for Teli-

monk. He has abandoned his real name
and rank and is known In the monastery
simply as Brother Henry.
The fortune which he has ceded to the
Roman Catholic church in Italy is es-
timated at 81 10000 and will be devoted
solely 10 charitable and humane purposes.
Brother Henry lives a hard life. he in
