ADMIRAL EVANS DOES HONORS Prince Met at the Entrance to New York Bay Amid Thunder of Big Gun* from the Fort*—Touches Hi* Cap to Old Glory. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Prince Hen ry of Prussia, representing his broth er, the emperor of Germany, at the launching of the kaiser's American built yacht, reached New York yester day and was cordially welcomed as a guest of the nation. The land bat teries that guard the outer harbor sounded the first greeting in a ponder ous salute of twenty-one guns, the rifles of a special naval squadron as sembled in his honor re-echoed the sentiment. There were verbal greet ings from the representatives of Pres ident Roosevelt, the army, the navy and the city of New York, and a great crowd lined the way into the city to see and cheer the sailor prince of Ger many. The great storm against which Kron Prinz Wilhelm had struggled for days and which had glazed the Atlantic coast in an armor of ice, had lost its force and resigned Its sway to warm Bunshine and clear blue skies, so there was no regret that the royal guest was a full day late for the entertain ment provided for him. The genius of Marconi reached out from the storm-swept coast and de finitely located the belated liner and made certain the hour that it would reach Sandy Hook. There was a cur tain off the Hook early in the morn ing and it was after 9 o’clock before the watchers caught the shadowy out lines of the cautiously approaching liner. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander of the special squadron and honorary aide to the prince, left the flagship Illinois at 9;-10 o’clock in the naval tug Nina. With him were Captain G. A. Converse, ills chief of staff; Flag Lieutenant Frederick Chapin, Ensign Frank T. Evans, aide, and Captain von Rebeur-Paschwitz, naval attache at the Washington em bassy of the German government. They were all In full dress uniform. Nina met Kron Prinz beyond Fort Wadsworth und, swinging around on the starboard side of the liner, steam ed up the bay. Prince Henry, attired in the uni form of an admiral of the German navy, and surrounded by his naval und military staff in brilliant uni forms, stood on the bridge of the liner. As the naval tug drew nearer to the side of the steamship, Prince Henry and Admiral Evans caught sight of each other and exchanged informal salutes. The distance from steamer to tug was too great for conversation, however. As the two vessels with a flotilla of tugs and officials moved past Fort Wadsworth the first of the salutes of twenty-one guns was fired. As the first sounded the prince advanced to the end of the bridge of Kron Prinz Wilhelm and stood at attention. As he passed the big American flag floating over the fortifications he touched his cap in salute, and the members of his salute did likewise. The flag at the jackstaff of Kron Prinz was dipped and the German naval band played "The Star Spangled Ban ner.” Hoar's of Prince’s Arrival. BERLIN, Feb. 24.—Emperor Will iam received a cablegram from New York while at breakfast this morning informing him that the Kron Prinz Wilhelm was nearing her port in fair weather and that his brother.

LINCOLN, Feb. 22.—Representative H. H. Hanks of Otoe county predicts the adoption of the Torrens land trans fer system by the next legislature. Mr, Hanks is author of the bill creating the Nebraska Torrens commission. He was in Lincoln and examined some of the details of the commissioners' re ports. "Basing my opinion upon what I had read and heard of its work in other states, I believed when I introduced the TorrenB bill, and do now, that the sys tem would be adopted by the next leg islature by an almost unanimous vote,” said Mr. Hanks. “Several states have adopted the Torrens system of trans ferring real estate and I believe it is but a question of time till every state in the union will have it in operation. England partially adopted it in 1863, and by a provision passed in 1897 it is now practically compulsory. This certainly speaks well for the system. Wherever I have found it once in oper ation it has never been repealed. The register of Cook county, Illinois, writes me it is working easily and satisfactor ily there; that transfers are made in a very short time and at a small fee.” NARROWLY ESCAPE BURNING.

PENDER, Neb., Feb. 22.—One of the best known characters of the Om aha agency died Tuesday of a compli cation of diseases and old age in the person of John Fremont, as he was known to the white people, or Chas-a Nin-Gah, as the Indians knew him.

Gould, cashier of the de lunct Platte Valley State bank ol Bellwood, was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary by Judge Somberger. When Gold was arraign ed in the district court the court room was packed to its utmost capacity with creditors of the defunct bank, tuose w'hose names had been forged to notes and mortgages, and a large number who came through curiosity.

Judge Somberger brief ly commented on the various crimes committed and the sentences impos ed upon criminals and said that Bart ley was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years and was pardoned out at the expiration of six years, but he hoped the good people of Nebras ka did not approve of the pardon. He concluded by saying that forgery is a most heinous crime and asked Gould what excuse he had to offer for committing such a grave crime. Gould said in substance: "I will have to admit I have done »» i utiQ. x nucn ucu.c,i . x tibo uiuugm up better, but I got mixed up in some real estate deals and signed notes with friends which I had to pay and had to raise some money.” When asked as to what he had done with all this money he said: • "I have heard that I have this mon ey stored away some place. This is not true. I have not one dollar.” He did not state what he had done with all the money. The court ask ed Gould if he knew of, or could give any reason why he should receive a short sentence, and he said: “Nothing, except I have a family, a wife and two children, a boy four teen years old and a girl twelve years old.” The short sentence given Gould causes much dissatisfaction.

As the result of over-exertion and exposure to heat and cold, or from whatever cause, may be treated suc cessfully by the timely application of St. Jacob's Oil. A thorough rubbing is necessary. The Oil should be applied vigorously, for at least twenty min utes, two or three times daily, when all pain, soreness, stiffness will be re moved In twenty-four hours. It will also strengthen and harden the mus cles. Football players, gymnasts, and all athletes will find St. Jacob's Oil superior to any other remedy for out ward application, for the reason that Its action is more rapid and its effect permanent.

There is a timely flavor of satire about the report that Will Mathis of Oxford, Miss., under sentence to be hanged for murder, has asked the. judge not to have him hanged on the same day as his negro accomplice, Or lando Lester, on the ground that he was “opposed to social equality.’’ The Mississippi papers seem to feel that Mathis is needlessly squeamish, but the case illustrates, what is illustrated only too constantly, that a sensitive appreciation of the importance of the color line may co-exist in a man with a very limited sense of the obliga tions of the ten commandments.—Har per’s Weekly.
