Prince Departs from Capital After a : Busy Day.

Pays a Visit to Naval Academy at Annapolis—Takes a Horseback Ride with President—A Dinner and a Serenade,

Annapolis, Md., March I.—Prince Henry of Prussia on Friday visited the naval academy and met the cadets under instruction there. He saw them at work and at play and at the close of his visit addressed them in a complimentary speech, expressing his confidence that they would do their duty if their country called. He was accompanied to Annapolis by Secretary Long and a party of distinguished American officers. Every member of his staff was in attendance. The rain poured down in torrents, but the prince, to whom naval warfare has special interest, declined to take shelter and went through every formal feature of the programme. The special train carrying the party reached Annapolis at 10:40 am. Commander Wainwright, superintendent of the academy, received the prince and the entire party was driven through the troop-lined streets to the academy. Regardless of the deluging rain there were crowds in the sodden streets. : A national salute was fired as the party entered the grounds of the naval college and the prince at once reviewed the cadet corps. He stood under a canopy of canvas on the west end of the parade grounds and the cadets marched in review before him. After the exhibition in the gymnasium the visitors were entertained at luncheon by Mrs. Wainwright, assisted by Miss Wainwright and a number of the wives and daughters of the officers stationed at the academy. At the conclusion of the luncheon the cadet corps was drawn up in front of the house of the superintendent in preparation for the departure of the prince. The latter addressed them briefly. Three cheers were given for the prince, and he departed a moment later. As he moved away the cadets presented arms, the Marine band played “America” and a national salute was fired.

Takes Horseback Ride,

Washington, March I.—Prince Henry Friday afternoon enjoyed one event not on his official itinerary when he and President Roosevelt went in a rainstorm on a horseback ride of an hourand a quarter through Rock Creek valley and the suburbs in the northwestern section of the city. The ride was arranged personally between the two men during one of their talksat an official funetion. The prince returned from Annapolis between three. and four o’clock in the afternoon and went direct to the white house to pay a farewell visit, the members of his suite accompanying him. The farewell call was entirely informal. Capt. Gilmore, of the artillery, met the prince and his suite at the door and escorted them to the blue room, where they were re-: ceived by the president and Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt, each of whom gave the prince a hearty welcome and godspeed. The ceremony lasted only about five minutes, and then the prince drove to the embassy, where he was soon found by the president, and the ride began. : Prince Henry’s visit to the national capital had a fitting culmination Friday night in a splendid official dinner given at the German embassy and later a tremendous outburst of popular enthusiasm from the German residents of Washington as the imperial visitorwas about to start.for his southern and western tour. The dinner was given at the embassy at eight o’clock, his royal highness being the guest of honor, while those invited to meet him were representatives of the highest official and diplomatie society. _ An enormous crowd gathered about the embassy while the dinner was in progress, filling Massachusetts avenue with a solid mass of humanity for a block in either direction. At 9:30 o’clock the long line of German marchers who were to serenade the prince made their appearance, bearing pitch pine torches. At'the head of the column moved the stars and stripes side by side with the German colors. Following the torch bearers came a hundred strong-voiced German singers who formed on the terrace immediately below the high balcony of the embassy entrance. Without hat and calmly puffing a cigarette his highness surveyed the animated scene below. Thenabove the cheers rose the voices of the singers in “Das Deutscher Leid,” followed by “Die Wacht am Rhine,” and then by “The Star Spangled Banner.” As the last song was being sung the representatives of the German-Ameri-cans of Washington were escorted to the balcony, where Prince Henry gave them a cordial welcome. At 11 o’clock the prince. escorted by Ambassador von Holleben and by a squad of police, left the embassy for the Pennsylvania railroad station, ‘where he boarded the special train which departed at 12:30 o’clock for the western and southwestern trip. The prince’s suite accompanied him. Not O’Donovan Rossa, But His Son. Denver, C 01.,, March I.—The report that O’Donovan Rossa, the famous Irish patriot, was dying at Colorado Springs of blood poisoning seems to be incorrect, according to a dispatch printed in the News, The person referred to is not the Irish patriot, but a son, who bears his name. ~ Challenge Accepted.

A RANCHMAN’S EXPERIENCE.

Lea, S. Dak., March 3d.—Wm. H. Neelan, a ranchman, whose headquarters are here, says: “I have been afflicted with Kidney Trouble for several years. I had a very severe pain in the small of my back, so bad that I could scarcely sit in the saddle.

“I also had a frequent desire to urinate when riding and the pain and annoyance I endured was very great. . “I tried many medicines without getting any better till at last I was told te try Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

“T have used in all six boxes of this medicine and can say that they have done me more good than anything else I ever used.: “I have had more relief and comfort since using Dodd’s Kidney Pills than I had for years before.”

A FIKE DAIRY COUNTRY.

The land hunger manifest for several years acutely is more intense now than ever. More people realize that if they want a farm of their own they must get it now, before the cheap farm lands are all gone. More settlers are going into Northern Wisconsin this spring than at any previous time. People who have gone there a few years ago and have become independent have proved this an ideal country for a man of small means to get a start, no less than for the man with money and farming experience to make an investment. : -

Prof. W. A. Henry, Dean of the College of Agriculture, in an article on the Dairy Industry of Northern Wisconsin, says: “After careful study of all the conditions prevailing in Northern Wisconsin, the writer is firmly impressed with the belief that this will become one of the great dairy regions of America. First of all there is that prime requisite for fine butter and cheese, namely, an ample supply of pure cold water everywhere accessible. Second, an abundance of wholesome stock foods. In summer time the cattle of Northern Wisconsin will find in its pastures the finest of grasses and clovers (red and white clovers flourish), and timothy and blue grass pastures zre as prevalent and productive as anywhere further south.”

If you want to know more about this country you can learn from the booklets which the “‘Soo”’ Line has prepared. Write to D. W. Casseday, Land and Industrial Agent, ‘Soo” Line, Minuneapolis. Tell him you want to know about the dairy country in Northern Wisconsin.

Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and . which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions,when the system needs a laxative—is— Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principlesof 2 plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are {“; agreeable and refreshing to the tasteand acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. 5 Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it : is best to consult the family physician and to avoid " the old-time catharties and loudly advertised nos- & trums of the present day. When one needs only to ;E remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or 3 similar ills; which attend upon a eonstipated condi- ’i;, tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy— % Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depres- . ° sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inaetivity of the bowels. - Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a gnarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any - substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.

Mrs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member . 3y . E of a Chicago Woman’s Political Club, tells how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured without a Surgical Operation. - She says: “ Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them ; one hundred dollars and costs, and included in -the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. : “I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E. Pink=ham’s Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Compound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sanative Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations. would occur.”—Mgs. L. A. Harris, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, lIL $5OOO FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women . are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrheea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, “all-gone ” and “ want-to-be-left-alone ” feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried-and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. '
