A Waterbury man, who was in Berlin during the recent riots, reports that the c,bled accounts of how the kaiser was cheered when he rode along the Linden smoking a cigarette are the purest hc- on. Asa matter of fact, the perfume tory attempt at cheer which was occa- sionally made only emphasized the phlegmatic iniitfefence--to put IL no stronger-with which the royal presence or absence was received. rms IS III marked contrast with the way "the oio kaiser was hailed when he showed him- self in public. Then the people went fairly wild on the slightest proVocatloh. A common thing it is in Berlin to hear the present emperor referred to con- temptuously as the ''kaiserling," or ht- tie king,-[ Americans Contributor.
