MIR. Anton Reymann and Family Return
From Europe


From Europe,
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Reymann and fam.
lily returned yesterday morning from an
extended trip to Europe, their journey
both ways over the ocean having been de.
ci6edly pleasant and without any acci-
dent that in any way marred their enjoy
ment.
The family sailed from New York on
April 4, on the steamship Fulda, Of the
North German Lloyd Line, and they were
met just off Bremen by their son Paul,
who has been attending the University at
Berlin for a year or 60 past.
From Bremen they proceeded to Ham
burg, thence 10 FfanKiort-On.the-Rh Rhine.
Along the Rhine they visited relatives for
a week or so and then proceeded to Meyr,
thence to Berlin, where they remained
about two weeks takiog in the
sights Of that city and its sur
rOundiDgs Then they vent to Dresden,
where they made their headquarters.
At this point the younger children Of the
family were left and Mr.. aud Mrs. Rey-
mann and the older children went to Leip-
sic and thence back to Frankfort. They
remained at Weisbsden about five weeks,
eBjoyiDgits beauties and the many places
surrounding it.
From there they went TO London, visit
ing all the principal points Of interest in
Eugland's metropolis. From there they
went to Paris, where the sights at the
Exposition occupied some days, trip to
the top of the great Eifsl tower being q
pleasant feature.
They then returned TO Weisbaden and
went south, taking in Hsidelburg, Baden
Baden, the latter one Of the most beau
tiful spots in the world, and then a trip
to Switzerland, proceeding 10 Milan, Italy,
where they found it 90 hot that they
turned back. The Workmen on the streets
in Milan were compelled to csrry sun
umbrellas over them.
They returned to Arona aud took q
steamer on LagsmaPgo,ie Tor Lucarne on
their way visiting the famous island Isa
bella, which is a beautiful place This
lake is the most beautiful in Switzerland,
aud or it are located many historical
spots. They also ascended the Rigi noun
tain about ), 600 feet above the lake, but
could not see anything for the clouds.
They also visited Sclatfhausen and the
Rhine falls, and from there they returned
home. OF course countless other points
were visited, but this is the outline of the
trip, which vas a most delightful one.
They had expected TO sail for home On the
second trip to New York Of the immense
new steamship Kaiser Wilhslm, H., but on
account of labor strikes the steamer had
not been finished in time, and they reached
Bremen in time to catch the first and only
trip that she will make TO New York
ust half an hour before the family board
ed her, 400 woikmen had left, and some
small parts had not yet been finished.
Mr.. Rsymann says from all reports this
ship ia the finest in the world, as well as
one of the largest.
They enjoyed delightful weather on the
return trip which occupied eleven days on
account of the newness Of the steamer,
having been compelled to lay in mid
ocean all Of last Sunday while big forca
Of woTkmen replaced several burned out
journals.
Mr. Reymann says that the people in
EarOpe bathe much more than do in
America, and all towns Of any size at
all have their public bath houses in which
one can secure a bath for ss low as FIVE
cents and sometimes cheaper.
He talks very entertaining'y of the diff
ference in the habits and customs of Faro
peans and Americans. He said at Berlin
he met a lady who had two sons at school
there, and was making her home in that
city. She said it seemed very strange
that she had gotten to drinking wine and
beer with her dinners, because when she was
in America she was Secretary OF a Wo-
mans c. T. UniO9. She thought it must
be in the eclimate.
Mr.. Rsymann and his family came buck
very much improved in health, and quite
a number OF their friends called upon them
yesterday and last evening.
Mr.. Paul R9ymanu viii take another
course at the Berlin University and will
return in the spring to remain.
