fatuated with her, all the more SO
since he had danced with no one else
that evening.
The Prince manifested his affec-
tion for the young lady by constantly
holding her close during the dances,
and very frequently hueging her close
to his bosom. Finally, the Miss Mae
Cushion, bit embarrassed, called
this to the attention Of His Royal
Highness.
well, YOU see the Prince reulied
sweetly, your name is MaaCushion,
and you We're made to be squeezed.
1t is generally known that the
Prince is also a devotee Of flying. It
is now being told that during the war
the Prince made daily excursions in
his flying machine This fact was
kept secret, and no one in London,
with the exception Of those in the
Princes social set, We're aware Of this,
for it was feared that harm might
come TO the Prince by making this
public. It is said that the Prince is
very skillful at the throttle Of an
aereplsine engine.
Whom is, the Prince going to mar
ry?" is question frequently asked.
Before the war an answer would be
very easy, for it was often thought
that the Princess Of Roumania was
the most likely match, but since ma
tional relations have been thrown top
sy-tuvy it has become a difficult
problem. But persons who know the
Prince intimately declare that he has
decided views on this matter, and
they are that his ideas along this line
are quite unconventional and Amer
ican-like.

Personal Side Of Young Prince

NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-What i'm.
pressed Americans most on first sigh
Of the youthful and handsome Prince
Of Wales as he made his first infor.
NAL entry TO the nations capitol and
then to New York, was his extreme
youthfulness and American spirit
Above everything else, His Roya
Highness Prince Albert Of Wales, the
future King Of Great Britain. is in
almost every respect a prototype OF
the average young American who
likes Outdoor sport and an occasional
wild spree, and about the only thing
that distinguishes the Prince from
American college athletes is his
lengthy title.
The Prince Of Wales is football
fan. He has played football in his
native land and he can appreciate
roofing at an American game with
American variations. 1t is said that
his itenerary of sight seeing in New
York City and in other American cit
les viii not be complete without the
Prince taking n at least one represen-
tative college football match.
So marked are these democratic
and inherently American tendencies
in the royal blood of the handsome
prince that already he has been the
subject of numerous anecdotes related
whenever people of lowly and demo
cratic type gather to discuss topics
Of timely interest. There is no ques-
ticl that the Prince has made a hit
and it seems that it will take some
time before Mr.. Jones, the grocer,
and Mrs. Smith, the washwoman,
will tire chatting about His Royal
Highness's democratic qualities and
looks.
The Prince is like every American
youngster. He is said TO be a devot-
ed stamp collector. From his boy
hood days he has been a steady and
devoted follower of the sciences Of
Philately, so dear to the heart of
every American boy. The Prince has
built up very large collection of
postage stamps and he is still ever
keen to add to his collection. This
fact has just become known here,
creating bit of excitement and ex-
altation among the local stamp col
lectors.
There are two men in America,
both veteran English postage stamp
collectors, who probably know more
about the intimate side of the Princes
life that any man here, with the pos
sible exception of the members of the
British Diplomatic Corps IN Washing
ton. Both represent the largest firm

Of British stamp dealers.
One is Charles j. Phillips, head Of
the firm, who is now touring Amer
lea in search for valuable colonial
stamps which the Prince desires "a
add to his collection, Mr.. Phillips
holds the royal appointment to the
Kings household, an honor which i:
granted only to one tailor, a boot
maker, and several other prominent
London merchants. He makes per-
iodical visits to the palace TO display
his samples TO King George and his
heir.
1T is generally known that His
Majesty King George has been an en-
thusiastic stamp collector from the
days he was midshipman in the
British Navy, "Mr. Phillips said, "but
probably few in America, or in Eng
land proper, are aware that his son,
the Prince Of Wales, is also dcvotec
of stamp collecting.
1.-THE Prince commenced to collect
stamps when quite lad, and like
most boys he collected everything
that looked like a stamp, but as he
grew up, and just before he went to
Magdalen College, Oxford, he got rid
of his stamps of foreign countries
and kept these only of Great Britain
and all her countries. He now special
ICES only in this large group Of postal
issues.
HE has naturally received many OF
the duplicates from his fathers col
lection, and he has acquired many
others by exchange and by purchase,
Among other stamps in which he
takes special interest we might men
ton those issued in his native island
Prince Edward Island, to which he
has given special study. He is also
partial to the older issues of postage
stamps of the West Indies, the Cape
of Good Hope and others, King
George is the patron of the Royal
Philathellc Society OF London, and the
Prince is a member Of this organiza-
ton"
f. B. Powers, American represent
ative of this firm, recalled in an in
terview the other day when he sold
stamps to the young Prince in Lon
don.
"The Prince of Wales began stamp
collecting when he was but ten years
old, which is about the time the aver
age American boy begins to practice
the hoppy. Mr.. Powers recalled, "He
made periodical visits to our London
shop and it was generally my duty
to wait on him.
"He told me that his father allowed

OF FAMOUS
FATAL DUEL REVIVED
Union of New York City Banks Re-
calls Killing of Hamilton
BY Burr

New York, Doc. 90 -Recollections
OF the political feud which resulted in
the duel between Alexander Hamilton
and Aaron Burr at Weehawken. n. j..
in 1904 have been revived here by
the merger of the Manhattan company
and the Merchants National banks,
two OF the Oldest financial institutions
in New York.
For more than 115 years the two es-
adjustments have dwelt side by side
at 40 and 40 Wall street and in 1882
they united in the construction of the
new building which they have occu-
pied jointly ever since. In the union
of these cnce rival institutions the
metropolis loses probably the last
tangible trace OF the most famous of
early American antagOnisms. Al
though the banks themselves have
long since buried the Ratchet there
was a time when they were neighbor5
gestion of their getting together would
have been dismissed as unthinkable.
Burr was elected TO the New York
Legislature in 1872 when the state and
city were controlled by Hamilton as
the leader OF the Federalists. Hamil.
ton had helped 20 establish in New
York a branch of the Bank of the
United States. This was then the
only banking institution in New
York city. The institution was con
trolled, so the republicans lead by
Burr alleged. by the Federalists who
were charged with using their finan-
cial powers for the furtherance of the
Federalist cause.
The political ambitions Of the lit
tie intriguer' at Albany caused him
to desire to break through the bank
ing ring which barred all anti. Fed
eralist banks from New York and his
opportunity came in 1899. In that
year he introduced bill in the legis-
lature which authorized the granting
Of charter to a company which was
ostensibly TO be formed for the pur.
pose OF improving the water supply OF
New York City. Tho city, then with
a population Of $4,000, had just pass
ed through a severe epidemic and
Burr's project quickly met with popu-
lar APPROVAL The real object of the
Manhattan company was to SIMPLY
republicans with the sinews of war.
Republican merchants, it was said,
were Disseminated against by the
Federalist bank whereas their FEEDER
al!st competitors We're freely accomo-
dated when they sought funds to car
ry on their business. The adroltness
which Burr employed to obtain char
ter was emphasized by the fact that
he Federalist had a majority in the
legislature. Hence the omission CT the
word bank from the Manhattan com
pany
The petition for the proposed wat
er works company stated that as It
was not known how much capital
would be required. the projectors did
not want to risk failure by a deficiency
of capital and, therefore, asked author
lty to raise 100000 Inserted in
the charter was provision of Burr's
that the surplus capital may be EN-
ployCd in any way not inconsistent
with the laws of the Constitution of
tho United States or of the state of
New York"
The senate and house passed the
bill expeditiously. few members even

except those who were in the secret
suspected its real purpose. Burrs
