STREET CARS OF BERLIN.
The Platforms Are So Comfortable That
Women Prefer to Stand on Them.

The Platforms Are So Comfortable That
Women Prefer to Stand on Them.
When first began to ride in the street
cars of Berlin, says Edmund Hudson in the
Boston Herald, 1 thought them rather heavy
and clumsy affairs, not so good as our own.
But soon 1 began to like them better
Their best feature is the length of the
platforms-double that of our cars, so that
hall dozen people can stand there
and not get in the way of the
driver or conductor. The entrance is close
to the body of the car and there is a curved
railing around the corners at the ends of the
platform, which form comfortable protec-
tion to those who prefer to stand there. The
result ofthis is that women stand on the
platforms as much as men do; indeed they
seem to prefer it. Every day I see elegantly
dressed ladies standing on the platform of
the cars that pass near the Kaiserhof, and
often the seats inside are not all occupied
When man and his wife and
lighted cigar get aboard a car altogether the
wife goes out and stands on the front plat
form with the husband and the cigar. The
conductors give tickets for your money, as
in all other sentimental cities, which is a
good and necessary arrangement because
they don't charge you as much for riding
quarter of a mile as for three miles. You
can pay first for the shorter distance, and, if
you elect to go further, your ticket saves
you from paying the full fare over again.
The cars are very clean, and they seem to be
patronized by all classes of people.

A HAWAIIAN LAKE.
Its Waters Are More Salt Than Those of the
Dead Sea.

HaWaIan NeWs.J
wonderful lake, named ALA Pakai, has
been discovered on the Hawaiian Islands.
Its waters are more salt than those of the
Dead Sea. Samples of the waters have been
recently analyzed in the laboratory of Oahu
College, with results of popular as well as
scientific interest. The water, which in dry
weather deposits salt abundantly, is, of
course, satuated with brine, yet it differs
essentially from the brine obtained by
evaporation of ordinary sea water. The
difference is strikingly shown by merely
mixing two clear fluids, when a copious
deposit Immediately forms of sulphate of
lime, so that the mixture almost solidifies.
The sea water contains sulphate of mag
nesia in abundance, but scarcely any lime,
while the salt lake water contains chloride
of calcium, lime salt, with only trace of
sulphate. in composition. The water of Ala
Pakai approaches closely to that of the
Dead Sea. Analysis shows that it contains
at present more saline matter than has ever
been reported, SO far as knowledge goes;
from the Dead Sea. The specific gravity of
the water, even at temperature of 500
Fahrenheit, is 1256; at standard temperature
it would, OF course, be higher The water
of the Dead Sea is considerably lighter, its
specific gravity having been found by differ.
ent observators to range from lib (Lynch)
to 1.24 tLavoisier). The most remarkable
popularity of the water is the excessive
quantity of lime it carries. This should
give it peculiar medical virtues, the water
to be taken, of course, like that of strong
lime springs, only after dilution.

THE rALKER OF THE CENTURY.

Gladstone Always Has Hearers-A Mixture
That Clears His Voice.
New York telegram
Mr.. Wilson r. Davis is wealthy traveller
from London, who is over here for pleas
ure jaunt and stopping at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Speaking last night about the num-
Der of prominent men who had recently
died, he said:
'Gladstone is the only real leader we
have left, and the way the Grand Old Man
holds his own is simply marvellous. Here
you see men in the prime of life cut down,
while Gladstone, like one of the ragged
oaks of Hawarden, stands erect ready to
meet any storm that may come. His extra
ordinary physical powers, as well as his
vivacity and enthusiasm, are best seen
when he is making speech in the House OF
Commons. He is always dressed in even
ing clothes, with flower in his button
hole and wearing a neat little black tie.
By the way, Mr.. Gladstone, never speaks
now without little bottle on the dispatch
box before him. The bottle contains q
kind of flip prepared especially for him by
Mrs. Gladstone, and whenever his voice
gets slightly husky draught gives it all its
clearness and deep intonations again, so
that when he closes his address the echo is
like mighty bell resounding through the
house.
Gladstone is the greatest talker OF the
century. He is always surrounded by
crowd of ladies and gentlemen, even IN
drawing room. He will listen to the great
est bore who poses as an authority with the
same attention he would give the most
learned professor"

Hotel BE Gentle Stranger.

Mrs Wheeler and Mrs. Custer, two literary
ladies of New York, are starting hotel for

Says Mrs. Wheeler to Mrs. Custer,
"Monopolist males we shall greatly fuster;
Hotel it not in Gathr-at present
Till we have made things nice and pleasant
First rule-'No rulesr Oh. of course male
nobdies
Will Singer at once, the superior bodies!
But Oscar Wilde must pull up his socks
Ere he'll equal women at paradox.
What mean is this, in our 'Women's Hotel,'
Wen have no such thing as the 'Curfew
Bell,'
And no fixed hour for the cry Out lights!'
We will give free way to true 'Woman's
Rights
Which are to thump, strum, tap, twirl, triil
That's why we CHERISH despite male spleen.
Typewriter, piano and sewing machine!
The 'woodpecker tapping is indeed not in it
With Emancipate Woman-no, not for
minute!
Our hotel will be, when we've won the battle,
The Paradise OF unlimited rattle,
THE Realm of the Spindle,' the Home of the
Dusterr'
Says Mrs. Wheeler to Mrs. Custer,

Peace the Healerl''
Says Mrs. Custer to Mrs Wheeler.
Punch hopes their hotel may flourish-only,
Spots "Reserved for Ladies'" are often
lonely!

POINTERS FOR wANAMAKER.

How the Postoffice Department of Ger
many Manages Its Business.
I must say that the Berlin postofice can
teach Mr.. Wanamaker a trick or two that
it would be for his advantage to learn, says
Edmund Hudson in the Boston Herald I
have been much interested in certain box
like yellow carts, set between four wheels
like the American herdics, and tall enough
for man to stand up inside. The bear the
name of the imperial postofice, one of the
principal branches of which is located just
behind the Kaiserhot. Last night had an
opportunity to see what the yellow cart is
used for. There is a door in the rear, and
ON each side set of good sized boxes; more
than 200 in ALL The mail matter too bulky
for the carriers to transport to the different
city stations is taken into the cart in
baskets, and while it is rapidly driven about
the city the official inside distributes it. 1t
is little postoffice on wheels, and by the
aid of it The Berlin city delivery is marvel
lously prompt and efficient.
Such wagon is naturally much more
practicable on the smooth streets of Berlin
than it would be in New York or Boston,
but not all the streets of this city are paved
with asphalt, and the yellow wagon goes to
all parts of Berlin. What makes it all the
more important is that the whole
small parcel business that we give
to the express companies in the
United States is done by the post
which letters are deposited are not attached
to lamp posts-they are too big for that.
They are fixed on the walls of the houses,
and one is to be found on every block. AS
for the branch postoffices, they are more nu-
merous than apothecary shops in American
cities. The service is wonderfully complete
and In all respects efficient.

THE RODMAN PRICE CLAIM.
Dick Wintersmith's Argument on 1t WI

Dick Wintersmith's Argument on 1t Was
Novel, but 1t Did Not Win.
The Rodman Price claim, which passed
the last Congress- has been practically set
tled but the Secretary of the Treasury will
not give the claimants the SIS, 900 which
they thought they would receive. There
was case in New Jersey court concerning
this claim which showed that few hundred
dollars would legally settle it, and the Sec
retary of the Treasury allowed only the lat
ter sum. While the case was before Secre-
tary Foster some of the most noted lawyers
of the country appeared in its favor. There
were men of the caliber of Senator Ed
monds, Robert G. Ingersoll and others, but
the strongest argument was made by Colonel
Dick Wintersmith, of Kentucky. Colonel
Wintersmith made his argument in a whis-
per. He got close up to Secretary Foster
and said:
''Mr Secretary, these other lawyers have
good argupents, but mine is superior to all.
This case is a grounding case with me. "
And with that he slipped strip of paper
out of his breast pocket, held it behind his
arm and came closer still to Secretary Fos-
ter, whispering: "Mr. Secretary, do you
see that note for 5000? That note has gone
to protest and if this Price claim isn't set
tied in our favor don't know where in the
devil IN going to get the money to pay it. "
Secretary Foster laughed. He sympathized
with Wintersmith, but he decided the case
against him.

A NEW BLOOMING PLANT.
Gigantic Machinery Now Being Set Up on
the Schuylki1rs Banks.

Gigantic Machinery Now Being Set Up on
the SchuylkilPs Banks.
New York Post.1
Pennsylvania goes on inventing labor
saving machinery. The last achievement
in this line is blooming" plant, which is
now being constructed on the Schuylkill, op-
posite Manayunk, for the Pencoyd Iron
Company. The operation known as
'blooming'' consists in reducing ingots to
rolls as they leave the Furnaces. This. was
formerly done with steam hammers, and
the work required the labor of large num-
be- of men. A force of twelve men will
be enough to complete the "blooming" by
the new process, the machinery of which is
hydraulic.
The mill will be equipped with four YER
tical furnaces and two horizontal engines of
1000 horss power, connected with single
shaft. Two solid-steel gears, four feet and
eight inches in diameter, worked by an
electric crane oman elevated railroad, will
receive the great mass of steel and it is
said that one man will be able by this
means to handle an ingot of ten tons.
Much of the machinery is entirely new.
The rolls used for rolling the large ingots
after they have come from the furnace
weigh twelve tons, and by the electric crane
it will be possible to lift them out and re-
place them by another set in two hours.
Gas will be the fuel used.

Women Approve Gambling.

''The condition of the public sentiment on
gambling" says Chauncy M. Depew, sis
illustrated by conversation 1 had while
abroad this summer with a lady widely
known for her charit les and for the support
which she gives both personally and fnan-
cially to all religious and benevolent work.
1t was in large company, and the conversa-
tion had turned on what were good invest
ments whereupon this lady said that the
best thing she had were some shares in the
gambling house in Monte Carlo She said
these paid her 25 per cent, and advised her
friends to invest in them, as even at the
high rate at which the stock was then SELL
ing it would pay IL per cent net, and that
was better than the best Americans.

Bishop Grafton Believes After Church,
Healthfu1 Recreation Is in Order.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ,27.-Right Rev.
Bishop Grafton, of the Episcopal DIOCESE
of Fond du Lac, Wis, who arriveS here
yesterday to take part in services attending
the conservation of Rev. Dr. Nicholson as
the Bishop of Milwaukee, was interviewed
tonight in regard to the question of open
ing the Worlds Fair on Sunday He said:
81 am certainly in favor of having the
Exposition open on Sunday, or at least
that part of it that includes the art and
kindred displays The doors should be
open, say, about noon, when all those who
wished to attend church services have done
so. After one has properly observed his
duties Of the Sabbath there is no possible
reason why he should not devote the re-
mainder OF the day to healthful recreation
That is real benefit to man, woman and
child. Also, L would suggest that restaurants
should remain open in order that refresh
ments should be served. think that keep
ing the Fair open on Sundays would draw
to it great deal of saloon and theater
patronage. 1t is foolishness to attempt to
do that which our intellect opposes and
which was not literally intended"

LONDoN's FACE ABLUT1oN1sT.
She Quickly Picked Up Business Clear
ing Ten Thousand q Year.

She Quickly Picked Up a Business Clear
ing Ten Thousand Year.
Philadelphia Times.
AT present there is but one lady face-ab-
lutionist in London, and she began timidly
in a remote corner of the metropolis to let a
few friends know that she had system by
which beauty could be preserved for ever,
and wrinkles Cor that much more intellec-
tual word, thought-creases) gently rubbed
away never to return. Such fascinating
light was too bright to be hidden under
bushel For the sake of society it seemed
wicked to conceal her secret. Urged, there
fore, by the constantly increasing number of
applications for her remedy, she took hand
some rooms in a handsome quarter, and
boldly announced her new profession. Her
success was marvellous. For 81 S2-7 shil-
lings pence in English money-old or
young could be made beautiful! During the
first three months the face-ablutionist coined
ness developed she took ladies to train as
assistants.
The face-ablutioning lasts but Is minutes.
After being enveloped in the conventional
white sheet the fair visage is first Submitted
to rapid sponging from sponge dipped
in the hottest water. This is to break and
crack the outer skin of the face; for the
theory is that wrinkles are only on the sur
face, and that if the first skin is removed
the one underneath will be smooth and
even. Then comes a smearing with glycer-
inc, vigorous massaging of the physiog
nomy till the friction seems to have set every
pore In feverish action, more hot water
more face emollients, more scrubbing (less
vigorous this time), some powder, some
scent and you rise, feeling hot and uncom-
Portable, but with the satisfaction that you
have done your duty valiantly and will be
rewarded for it.

CHASED THE CASH BALL.

The Old Farmer Had an Idea That He Was
Being Bunkoed by 1t.
Binghamton Herald.l
Some amusement was created in a dry
goods store in this city the other day when a
farmer came in to make purchase. He
bought some calico, and when the clerk
placed the S. bill the farmer gave him in the
cash ball and sent it spinning toward the
cashiers desk, a funny sight was witnessed
Our rural friend evidently thought that
was the last he would ever see of his bill
unless he moved lively, which he did, keep
ing his eyes fixed on the ball. He eollided
with an old lady, fell over one of the seats,
regained his feet and kept right on until he
arrived at the cashiers desk.
''By goshi want my money" he gasped,
'I've read too much about bunko steerers to
lose my money, and I'll have my change if 1
clean out the whole sheebang.'
He was finally pacifed, and departed amid
the broad smiles of the clerks and customers
in the store. As he went out he muttered:
''If don't come to the city very often,
them swindlers can't catch me with their
sawdust games

HORSE AND GREYHOUND.
A Friendship That Served the Dog Very
Well in an Hour of Trouble.

A Friendship That Served the Dog Very
Well in an Hour of Trouble.
A fine hunter had formed friendship
with handsome greyhound that slept in a
stable with him and generally ran alongside
when the horse was taken out for exercise,
says the Philadelphia Times. When the
greyhound went with his master in his
walks the horse would look over his shoulder
and neigh in a manner that plainly said,
'Let me go also;' and when the dog re-
turned he was received with whinny of
welcome. He would lick the horses nose,
and in return the horse would scratch his
back with his teeth.
On one occasion the groom had, as usual,
taken the horse for exercise, followed by the
greyhound, when savage dog attacked the
latter and bore him to the ground The
horse, seeing this, threw back his ears, and
breaking from the groom rushed at the
strange dog, seized him by the back with
his teeth, speedily making him quit his
hold, and shook him till piece of his skin
gave way The offender, getting on his feet,
scampered off, glad to escape from foe that
could punish him so severely.

THE CRIME OF THE AGE.
Chauncey NJ. Depew Talks of the Tendency

Chauncey NJ. Depew Talks of the Tendency
OF People to Gamble.
rwRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH1
''The big crops of this year." says Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, 'are going to makes times
good for two wars to come, and think we
will have three or four years of prosperity.
The National Exposition will send plenty
of money afioat and for a time the whole
country will boom. More railroads will be
built, new manufactures will be started
and everything will boom on a credit basis
until some financial failure like that of the
Baring's trouble in London will precipitate
matters and we will have crash which
will make every man who has ventured out
beyond his depths go up the spout.
''The tendency of the present age is specu-
lation or gambling. There seems to me to
be only this one vice that is increasing, and
this is growing with tremendous rapidity
all over the earth, and especially among
civilized nations 1 mean by gambling the
betting on results which no knowledge nor
reason can foresee. We now bet on every
thing. We put up our money on stocks, on
food products and upon everything that en-
tiers into our markets. We create artificial
conditions and bet upon them. We do the
same with real estate, and we now bet in a
different way upon our amusements. Our
baseball system has become lottery, and
betting grows in these respects and on races
and at cards all over the world. The tele-
graph enables us to carry the betting stands
of the Jerome Park track to San Francisco,
and there is a crowd around the blackboard
in every city betting on the races. In clubs
and private houses, more in the Old World
than here, games of chance of every kind
with wagers upon results are becoming as
as the daily dinner, and you will
find Monte Carlo going privately on at
every one of the great watering places of
Europa
