Prior to that, in 1855, Queen Emma of
Hawaii paid a visit to Washington. and
1887 and by Queen Liliuokaliaai popu-
larly known as Queen ILL., who came
just before her abdication.
The year 1902 saw two visits from
members of royal houses, the Grand
Duke Boris. brother of the Car Of Rus
STA. and the Crown Prince of Siam. The
grand duke had been touring China and
Japan and extended his trip home
through the United States and around
the world. He did not come to Washing
ton. as President Roosevelt was away
for the summer, and the diplomatic corps
were all at their summer homes in the
north. He arrived at Sycamore Hill July
Is and was entertained by the President
he was honized socially. The last act
of entertainment offered him was when
he was sent off on the Vanderbilt yacht
TO catch the liner Lorraine at sea.
Siamese Crown Prince Here.
The Crown Prince OF Siam came a
month later in the same year. He was
the son OF Chulalongkorn, we'll known
IN this country principally on account Of
his long and cuphonious name President
Roosevelt saw him at the White House
and gave him some sage advice about
Siam. There were afterward a number
of letters exchanged, between the King Of
Siam and President Roosevelt. with the
visit as the basis.
Two other oriental princes were enter
tanned during 1904. The first was Prince
Pu Lun. member of the reigning house,
who came as special commissioner to the
Louisiana purchase exposition. He was
the bearer of very friendly letter from
the Emperor of China to the President.
This was presented at the White House
May 49,
III November Of the same year Japan
followed suit, when the Mikado of Japan
sent Prince Sadauaeu to call on resi-
dent Roosevelt. He was not the nearest
blood relation of the miKado living, but
held higher place In the councils OF
the empire than did Prince Ariugnua,
who was a closer relation Of the mikado,
but was III at the time.
Prince Henry Of Prussia.
The visit o: Prince Henry OF Prussia
in 1902 was the occasion OF the first pub
lie appearance Of Alice Roosevelt. now
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. Prince Henry
had been sent by the kaiser to bring home
the yacht Meteor. which was being built
for the emperor in New York. President
Roosevelt allowed his daughter to chris
ten the yacht. and this was made the oc-
casion OF a great deal of social activity
in New York.
Prince Henry was afterward entertain
ed In Washington and toured a good deal
of this country east Of the Mississippi.

DUKE NOT THE FIRST

AT WHITE HOUSE FOUR DAYS

Henry of Germany Among the
Distinguished Visitors.
AT WHITE HOUSE FOUR DAYS

Entertaining royalty has become such
q matter of course with Washington that
the visit of the Duke of Connaught would
not cause a ripple on the social surface
except for the personal friendliness of the
government and the people toward the
royal visitors. 1t happs4s that the Duke
Of Connaught is the tenth visitor Of royal
blood who has been entertained in Wash
ington, and the first OF these was the
dukes brother, the Prince Of Wales,
afterward King Edward VII. He was
entertained In Washington as much as a
personal guest of President Buchanan as
the representative Of foreign govern
ment He was the only one Of the royal
visitors, too, who slept at the White
House.
Mr.. Buchanan had been the American
minister to the court of st. James. and
while there became personal friend Of
Queen Victoria. friendship that con-
tinued as long as he lived. When 1t was
announced, in 1861. that the Prince of
Wales was about to visit Canada. Presi
dent Buchanan wrote a personal letter
to Queen Victoria saying he would be
very glad to entertain the Prince of
Wales if he could extend his visit to
Washington.
Guest at the White House.
The queen replied accepting the invita-
ton, and October 2, $780, the Prince OF
Wales arrived in Washington. He was
entertained, of course, by the British le-
CATION, for it was legation at the time,
and there was dinner given there In
his honor. He made his headquarters,
however, at the White House, and was
the guest of the President four days.
The prince was only nineteen years of
age at the time, but he had already
toured Egypt as the heir apparent. He
had the same personality then that after
ward made him SO popular as reigning
monarch, and his visit was most de-
cided success. both from personal and
official standpoint
One Of the features of his visit was
trip to Mount Vernon, taken with the
President on the revenue cutter Harriet
Lane, named for the niece Of the Presi-
dent A rather curious incident contrast
ing the practice of those days with that
of the present was in the payment for
the entertainment. The luncheon and
| other features Of the trip had been rather

was about to audit the bill and pay 1t

NEEDED LESSONS.

The street ear of Fort Worth
has engaged a man to deliver talks to
the children of the schools of that city
on the subject of avoiding street car ac-
ciGents. Children are not alone III need
Of such lessons. although the self
Sufticicncy Of the average adult renders
it considerably a waste of time to con
vince him that a large proportion OF the
street car accidents are as much the
fault of the individuals injured as the
man who usually bears tie reproach and
the company that pays tle damage. 1T
Ought to be possible to impress on the
more receptive minds Of children some
simple facts. or lessons, that will rem
der them less liable to the dangers of the
streets. and. if so. this company will. in
promoting it's own interest. also per

very wide variety of subjects. Teaching
by text book alone does not exhaust

mary schools. nor is it certain that this

FREE DELIVERY IN VILLAGES.

Another effort which is being made by
cry service will be watched by several
million people and if the experiment
proves to be sufficiently successful TO
warrant the permanent adoption of the
proposed feature, it will be of great bene-
fit to a very large part of the population
of the country.
For many years the free delivery sys-
TEN was confined to the more important
cities; then it was extended to smaller
cities within a certain limit. Next came
the rural delivery system. which has
been of great benefit. bringing the town
and country closer together, making life
on the farm more comfortable and agree
able and giving deserved recognition to
one of the most important classes of our
national citizenship. Now another step
is contemplated one which is expected
TO extend the benefits of free mail deliv-
cry to practically the only class for
whom it has not already provided.
An experiment is to be made to ascer-
tain whether free delivery ear be made
practicable in small towns, among PEG
pie who under existing laws do not share
in the privileges which have been given
to cities and to the rural districts. The
experiment is to be matte In a way sim
liar to the method employed in testing
the efficiency of the rural delivery sys-
TEN before that was finally adopted, by
selecting one town in each state in
which mail will be delivered, as it is in
cities for Il specified period, and if the
result proves satisfactory congress Will
probably authorize the post Office de
partment to extend the free delivery
system to all of the small towns and
villages in the country, by which mail
will then be delivered ut the doors oi
practically all the people of the United
States. In Texas, the town of E1gin. III
Bastrop county. has been selected fol
the purpose. Elgin is Il typical Texas
village. not the largest nor yet Tho
smallest towns which are not under the
free delivery or the rural system, and
is believed to be well adapted for tho
purpose of the experiment. The service
will be commenced November IL. and il
it results satisfactorily, as it is believed
it will. about 30 per cent OF the people OF
the United States now without this
privilege will be given free mail delivery

o UNUSUAL.

There's one matter-and a deli
cate matter, oTcOncerning which
we are impelled to remark, and in
thus remarking,' we are undecided
whether to direct our comments TO
the commercial organization or to
the Bachelors Club. But here's
the matter in question: Too many
San Bepito couples are being mar
ried in Brownsville. 1t looks bad for
the town. and certainly it isn't treat
ing the local preachers quite right.
Those who have tried it say San
Benito isn't a bad town to get mar
ricd in@probably difficult, but not
fundamentally, disadvantageous, once
the opportunity presents ITSELF
San Benito Light.
1t is probable ,that this sort of thing
does not arise from any lack of love for
the home, pastors or from any want Of
confidence in The strength of the matri-
Inonial knot tied by the local ''squires.'
In these days. when the cost of living is
so painfully high. in matrimony as in
other matters the tendency is to follow
lines of least resistance. One member of
the prospective matrimonial firm first
must rome to Brownsville for the license.
1t seems, perhaps. a simple thing to
bring the bride along and have the mar
riage ceremony performed here. In the
case Of people who do not care for an
elaborate home wedding, the matter is
much Simplificd, as to the invitation of
guests and their entertainment. What
ever the explanation may be, San Bcnito
pastors and justices are not the only
sufferers. 1t will perhaps DE found that
in most counties of the state the county
seats have a distinct advantage over the
other towns in the business OF tying the
nuptial knot.
