THE KAISER'S
 BROTHER

Grand Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, the Kaiser's only brother, will pass his fifty-fourth milestone to- day. The Prince has held high place in the Germany navy ever since his appointment in 1899 as the successor of Vice Admiral von Diederichs in the command of the German fleet In far eastern waters. Not much has been heard of Prince Henry since the outbreak of the war, but it has been stated on what seems to be good au- thority that he was influential in put ting an end to the campaign of "frightfulness" inaugurated by Grand Admiral von Tirpitz. It is alleged that from the first the Kaiser's sail or brother was in opposition to the Minister of Marine. Prince Henry is vastly more democratic and affable than his imperial brother, and has never shared the latter's fondness for the limelight. The royal Admiral visited the United States in 1902, when he was the recipient of national, mum icipal and social honers, and made an excellent impression. Only short time before the beginning of the war
 
 and Chile, and his tour was declared by the German press to be designed to offset any pro-American sentiment which may have been generated in the Latin republics by Col. Roosevelt's visit.
 Prince Henry married his cousin, Princess Irene of Hesse, in 1888, and has two sons, Waldemar, now twenty seven, and Sigismund, twenty. Both princes have been at the front almost continuously since the war began, Waldemar serving as the chief of a volunteer automobile corps which he organized. Prince Henry spent much of his time in England before the war, and was often described as "more English than German" His upbringing was largely entrusted to his mother, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, and from his youth he imbibed sentiments of love and re- spect for her native land.

GREENE TO CHECK
 UP MAIL ROUTES WITH INSPECTORS
Postmaster Hopes to Re- lieve Overlooking of To-
 cal Mail Carriers.

Despite the large number of clerks and carriers that have been added to the regular force at the local post of- fee during the last few months, the mall continues to grow heavy for the individual carrier. Postmaster Greene has devised a plan whereby he hopes to relieve the situation somewhat.
 He has appointed two men, Edward G. Pagan, foreman of the carriers, and John J. Heavey. chief of the clerks, to act as special inspectors, accompany ing the carriers on the heaviest routes each day and making report to the postmaster at night. One of the in- spectors will remain with a carrier an entire day, noting the amount of mail carried, the number of stops made and the distances between stops.
 It is expected that it will require about 90 days for the inspectors to complete their work. Should they recommend that additional carriers be put to work an effort will be made to obtain them, although the eligible list is practically exhausted.
 The next civil service examination is set for October ' and it is expected that this will provide a number of eligibles.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE

The first wire for the Brooklyn sus- pension bridge was stretched across the East River forty years ago today. This structure, the first of the great bridges connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn was designed by John A. Roebling, and construction work com menced early in 1870. The caisson for the Brooklyn tower was sunk in 1871 and the Manhattan caisson the following year. The Brooklyn tower, containing 3S,214 cubic yards of masonry, was completed in 1875, and in July, 1876, the Manhattan tower was completed. The cable-making commenced in 1877, and the bridge was finally completed and formally opened in 1883. John A. Roebling, the engineer who planned the bridge. died in 1869, before actual work had commenced, and his son, Washington A. Roebling, took charge of the pro- feet. Early in 1872 he was prostrated bv a peculiar form of caisson disease, which forced him for a time to give up active work, although his mind was uninpaired. The compressed air used in sinking the caissons caused many other cases of caisson disease, or "the bends." ns the workmen call it. The attacks of this disease vary in degree from slight temporary paralysis to complete loss of motion and sensation, tho severe cases caus- ing death within a flow hours.

WHY TAYLOR IS FOR WILSON
CIT UGHEs NOMINATION was forced upc

NOMINATION was forced upon the Republ- h - can convention" This has been said since he was nominated But effort made to force Mr. Hughes upon the Progressive convention failed. Who forced Hughes upon the Republican convention? How did happen was not forced upon the Progressive Convention?
 John Robert Taylor tells how those things happened What he says appears in his statement printed another page The Farmer
 Mr. Taylor state committeeman Progressive Party from Flatbush He delegate to the Chicago convention and attended the Indianapolis conference He is going member of the Progressive party but he will Pres- dent Wilson, the candidate most accordance with the of Progressives
 This what Mr. Taylor says about the forcing" of Mr. Huehes
 s The Republican candidate has the support of the
 snterests' who desire the defeat of President Wilson,
 because he has not proved subservent their wishes
 That candidate although not the free choice of the
 publican delegates, forced upon them by the
 publican bosses at the dctation of the interests" The
 Republican delegates carefully "hand picked" ,, do the will of the party bosses.
 The Progressive delegates were of different cabre
 and what could not be accomplished directly in
 ton was indirectly attempted subsequently, in the
 iona committee by the of proxies voted by paid employees, the votes of committeeman in violation
 the wishes of the progressives they misrepresented
 etc. The details of the methods used will become bet
 ter known as the campaign progresses.
 The story the betrayal the Progressive is told by Mr. Taylor warrants all that this newspaper has said about Col Roosevelt and his effort to become custodian the honor of this country.
 Charles E. Hughes could secured votes in the convention of the thousand delegates present.
 Knowledge of the declnaon the candidate nominated withheld from the convention for than hour and NA half, by Chairman Robins"
 Now that Mr. Robins has publicly announced his intention vote for the Republican nominee the previously ncompre hosibe conduct of the chairman during the last hours of the convention may explained the theory that the of the plans which eliminated in the grossest 4rayal of party membership known to political history" 0nvention be explained which eliminated in the betraya of party membership known to political history
 The election of the Republican candidate would tend than anything to terminate the Progressive party"
 Such the views of Mr. Taylor which obtained first hand participant in events which he himself witness ed, but could not control
 wonder Mir Hughes is dissatisfied with the Mexican gotiaions. So the "interestsn. They want war.
 Mr. Hughes dissatisfied with relations with Germany the munon interests They want war;
 Mr. Hughes is vexed with nationally owned merchant rine So is the shipping trust It wants subsidies
 Hughes dispeased with the Currency bill So are the Wall street banks They want monopoly of credit mower to make panics
 The evidence of Mr. Hughes unness increases day by day

BRIDAL SHOWERS

only ln the memory, but an lngen- ous hostess may find ,uggestion in this.
 At this same shower the refresh ments were served in pink decorated china and consisted of straw berry and pstachio ice cream, with a cake iced in pink. The candies were in the same col IS and the centerpiece Wa pussy willows and blossoms.
 It is always fun to have the pros- pective bride hunt for her gifts. A successful shower of ths sort took place in an open Dutch hall The packages were hidden behind pillows, back of the piano, under the syfa, on the picture moulding, under the rugs.
 A verse, ,uch as this, was handed the bride, whO read:
 You will soon embark on d new sea
 So search well for me,
 If you wish your new home warm
 and snug.
 Just look beneath the rug"
 T. the card was string which led to another card with verse that indicated the next place to hunt and so the search went on until all the gifts were discovered.
 In planning shower the dining table and it decorations should fol- low as nearly as DO sible the cnu.. acter of the shower. If a particular col scheme is chosen, the center lowers, place cards, ices and cakes should harm )nize. Individual favors. in the form of articles, that will create fun and conjecture a to the future of the girl friends of the yoIng bride, are excellent.

 BEFORE SPRING

Recent arrivals from Nenana bring word that Sylvester Howell, of How 1ii G Cieyeland, the well known min ing firm of Wo dchopper. Is arrang- ing to put in a big saw mill about ten miles below Nenana.
 According to the advices received, he is at present having the machin- cry hauled from the lower river to it's new location. Although there is large quantity of material to be moved, MT. Howell, by using aixteen teams, expects to have everything on the ground and be ready to be- gin cutting in about six weeks or two months.
 Since the close of navigation there has been a seri us shortage in all grades of lumber, it being absolutely impossible to obtain any lumber of the highest grades at Nenana. The very cheape of rough and old, used lumber is now selling for $75 a thousand, and is very scarce The building operations around the town are being held up on this account, and there is no prospect of relief until MT. Howell's mill starts work.
