"They have many things to develop
over there before an American can make
himself comfortable.
1.-The hotels are most primitive from our
point of view.
"One is charged extra for every conceiv-
able item which we consider should be in
cluded in the lump sum.
There are no baths or hot-water accom-
modations to their rooms.
"Chambermaids replace bellboys and
work from o'clock in the morning till II
at night
IL was often unwilling to ring for at
tendance. when thought of the work these
poor women had to do apart from what l
had to give them.
They bring you a little hot water in a
jug in the morning and another small sup
ply in the evening
1.-The restaurants are run BY the great
Spiers' and Ponds monopoly. and they
have it all their own way.
such thing as a stationary wasnstand
is unknown there and tubs have to be
brought to your room II you want hot
water bath.
You are charged extra 81 so for attend
ance apart from private tips to the
domestics.
The great railway companies in England
are now building huge hotels at the differ
ent points and termnuses of their lines.
These aim at modern American ideas
and are vast Improvement on existing
hotels.
81 found Sweden the most civilized coun-
try in Europe for travellers desires.
Stockholm was my favorite resting place
IN Europe. The hotels are excellent, the
street railways all that can be desired, and
their telephone system is the finest IN the
world. The women are lovely and dressed
In elegant taste.
81 saw more American machinery Rgri-
cultural and otherwise, for sale there than
in any other country in Europe. Altogether
1t was hard to realize that one was not in
the middle Of au American city,
Germany Is lovely country, of course
The view Of 100 cities lying round the base
OF the Golden Hill, near Dresden, makes
ono understand the claim which dubs it
the center of the earth'-the artistic earth,
OF course.
II believe in the German Emperor. He
is effecting vast change for the better in
Germany.
Would you believe 1t under the old
regime they would not even allow the In
PRODUCTION Of gas into the Imperial Palace.
They insisted Oh candles.
1.-The young Emperor is now arranging
for electric lights.
That startes the old conservative party
dreadfully.
They foresee all manner of dreadful
calamity in such enterprise and innoya-
ton.
II was struck by the importance Of the
English language In Europe and its great
spread.
THE Germans are commencing to push
out and coloniZe, but they are using the
English language to do it with. 1t wont be
very long before ours is the universal lam
guageof the earth.
1T is being taught In oil European schools
as modern necessity. No, | am never
going back into harness again.
My health wont permit of 1t.

licitor for the Southern Pacific Railroad
and am going to retire to my little ranch
near Redwood City. Europe has tired me
and I'm glad to get home again"
