The management of the horse railways in
Berlin, Germany, presents some curious points
of difference with the methods that obtain in
our American cities Instead of running cars
every one, two, three, or five minutes as in
American cities, they are started from ten to
thirty minutes apart Neither can one board
a passing car at any part of its route by sim
ply stepping TO the edge of the sidewalk and
raising warning finger to the driver or CON
ductor On the contrary, there are rules for
the stoppage of the cars, just as there are
rules for everything else in Germany. The
cars stop only at certain places along
the line, whore sign board, planted
at the edge Of the sidewalk, announces that
here is tho "stopping place of the horses

stranger any good to try and stop passing
car at any other point The correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle says that il

Macarthur, who has had charge of the work
on the Philadelphia building since 1875, was
sworn. Granite had been substituted for
brick in the pier lining as called for by the

the substitution of granite for brick improved
