street Car companis. No, Responsible


An incident of special interest in con-
neetion with the electric street car line
of Halle, Germany, Is that the German
government stopped the running of the
electric cars Immediately after the open
ing ceremony. because they interfered
with the proper working of the tele-
grams and telephones. The case came
before the law courts and the Judges de-
cided in favor of the railroad company,
stating that the streets of a city were in-
tended for general traffic. and that their
course could not be altered, but that the
postal authorities could easily make any
necessary deviation in the limo of the
telegraph aud telephone wires so as To
place them beyond the influence of the
electric lines. which use the rails and

REBuKED BY QUEEN VICTORIA.
The Dutchess of Sutherland Taught a
Kindly Lesson in Punctuality.

Upon one occasion the queen was
ready and had entered the carriage,
when it was observed that the mistress
of the robes, the late duchess of Suth-
erland, was not in her place opposite
the queen. The royal lady tapped her
little foot impatiently on the floor of
the carriage and looked the annoyance
which, the Philadelphia Times says,
she too evidently felt at being kept
waiting. A dozen people ran off in
search of the absent one, who present
ly appeared, not walking, but possi-
lively running, while the perspiration
streamed down her handsome face.
She leaped into the carriage with the
agility of young fawn, scarcely dar-
ing to look into her royal mistress
face and expecting verbal explosion,
such as will sometimes issue from the
royal lips. The queen, however, kept
her temper, or, rather, recovered it,
and with smile of forgiveness re-
marked: "My dear duchess, think
your watch must be very bad time
keeper. Let ME give you a better
onG." And so saying, her majesty
took off her own "ticker" and gave it
to the duchess, who could hardly re-
strain her tears at the kindly reproof,
and who, it is needless to add, was in
variably up to time ever after. The
story goes that she placed her resigna-
ton in her majesty's hands the next
day; if she did SO it was not accepted,
for she remained in her enviable posi-
ton many years after the incident.

A Mosquito Wager.

Of an ex-congressman of Florida
and Yankee tourist the following
story is told: The southerner pro-
posed wager of $40 that, bare to the
waist he could lie face down upon the
ground for thirty minutes, during
which time any motion on his part
tending to drive away a visiting mos
quito or other insect should be consid-
cred an admission of defeat. The
proposition was accepted and the or
deal entered upon at once.
It soon became apparent that, though
mosquitoes in swarms were feasting
themselves to repletion, they possessed
no powers of annoyance so far as the
honorable gentleman was concerned,
and that barring incidents he was a
certain winner. Twenty-Five minutes
passed and the ex-congressman still
remained motionless. A happy thought
struck the tourist. Taking from his
pocket burning-glass that happened
to be in his possession he focused it
upon the bare flesh before him. The
ex-congressman stood it for moment,
then WINGED, twisted and finally, un-
able to endure it longer sprang to his
feet with the remark:
"Well, Yank, you've won; but il
you'll bar yellow-jackets, I'll go you

A Great Speakers Fright.

Although the late Daniel Dougherty
was for the last thirty years an orator
of high repute, he never quite mas
tered the anticipatory stage fright that
came upon him as the time to make a
public speech approached. He charmed
a distinguished company at one of the
Fellowcraft dinners after Bishop Pot
ter, Mr.. Cleveland and other less
notable persons had spoken, but those
that heard did not know that ten min
utes before Mr.. Dougherty began to
speak he had been Intercepted in an
attempt to escape from the room. He
confessed then and there that he was
on the verge of panic and only by the
most urgent persuasion could he be
prevailed upon to speak. Once upon
his feeG, however, his fright was gone
and apt words came promptly to his
tongue. He had his half hour of trem-
ors, however, no matter what the oc-
casion, when he knew he must address
an audience.-M Y. San.
