SOCIETY AWAITING
PROPOSED TRIP Of
PRINCE OF WALES
Scion of Royalty May Visit
National Capital Next
Winter.

Should the young Prince Of Wales and
his brother, Prince Albert. visit Wash
ington next winter, II will be the first
time that an heir apparent to the Brit
ish throne has paid visit to Washing
ton, of to the United States, since the
memorable visit to the United States
of the late Edward VII-then also
Prince of Wales-in 1860.
1t Is reported that the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught. the former of
whom was in the Capital last spring,
will accompany the youthful scion of
royalty to the city. Local society, as
we'll as that in New York and other
cities. is all agog over the reported Wis
it, and 1t Is probable the prince will be
feted as no distinguished visitor to
these shores has ever been feted. should
he accept the invitations sure to be
showered upon him.
His visit would, of course, be the fea-
ture of the White House season, and
there are at least a dozen ambitious
hostesses in this city who would con-
sider 1t the triumph of their career to
have the prince as their guest during
his stay. 1t is probable that the British
emba ssy and the Duke of Connaught
would have a good deal to say as to
just who should receive the princeling
and who should not receive him.
There are many residents of Wash
ington who still vividly remember the
visit of the late King Edward. He was
travelling under his title as Baron Rem
frew, and when he came to this city
as the climax OF his brief sojourn in
America, social Washington, even with
the shadow of an impending war upon
1t, assumed gayety it had not known
in years.
He was received by President Buchan.
an at the White House and danced
there with all the bellies of the city
The British embassy held a great fett
in his honor, probably the most notable
function in its history. The Prince OF
Wales had keen relish for society and
during his stay in Washington in the
memorable year of 1860 formed a friend
ship for Americans which he kept until
his dying day.
The present Prince of Wales is still
school boy. He recently paid visit
to Paris, but was kept more or less
cloistered there, and saw but little OF
the real Paris, of the boulevards and
the cafes and the salons. His parents
the present King and Queen of Eng,
land, have but small taste for the more
frivolous side of court life, and are al
lowing the heir apparent to the throne
but small opportunity to develop a lik,

therefore, that his reported visit to the

1t seemed to him at last that all was

his eyes and mouth, blood In the sky

He darted up the slope with last

PROVES THAT BIRDS
HAVE HUMAN ILLS
Interesting Series of Observations
Are Being Made by Health
Department.

In proofs of the scientific fact that
animals and birds are subject to many
of the diseases man is heir to, DR.. ]. ].
Knyoun, bacteriologist of the Health
Department, has under observation a
crow suffering from malaria.
DR.. w. c. Fowler, head of the con-
tagious disease service, is Interested in
three monkeys at the Hygienic Labora-
tory which are down with the mea sles.
DR.. Fowler is authority also for the
statement that buZzard, reared as a
pet by John Early, died of leprosy, the
disease 1t was alleged Early was suffer
ing from and which caused his deten-
ton in little house on the Eastern
Branch for many months.
That crow Is an unfortunate bird"
said DR.. kinyoun today. Il picked him
up on the marshes half dead. He had
been shot, had lost one eye and was
unable to fly. After a period of care
full nursing he recovered from his
cred that he was sufferer from ma
laria, from which it appears he will be
an invalid for the rest of his life.
He does not seem to improve under
treatment, and / am afraid his blood is
so impregnated with the malarlal germs
he will never recover"
The monkeys, according to DR.. Fow-
Ter, exhibit all the symptoms OF
measles found in children. Their eyes
water, they cough and sneeze, and their
faces are covered with eruptions
The animals were inoculated with the
measles germ in order to afford the
health officials an opportunity of study
ing the various stages of the disease
and determining the length OF time II
takes to develop.

police. She has Just had a lively
skirmish with the minions of the law
at Odessa, and was forced to leave
that city in hot haste, as a stowaway
on a steamer bound for an Italian
port. She probably thought nobody
knew her hiding place, but, as a mat
ter OF fact, the police were well
aware of her presence on board, but
left her in peace, as her flight was
the easiest way to get rid of a very
cunning parsonage.

time here to work on her new book.

documents she stole from LorA Mil
