Quiet I'm Cities.
New Orleans Picayune)

NNtN OIitdIS IlCdyune.D
No other city is as quiet as Berlin.
Railway engines are not allowed to
blow their whistles within the city linn
its. There is no loud bawling by buck
sters, and a man whose wagon gearing is
loose and rafting is subject to a fine.
The courts have a large discretion as 10
fines for nOise-making. Strangest OF all
piano-playing is regulated in Berlin. Be
fore certain hour in the day and after
a certain hour in the night. the plano
must be silent in that musical city. Even
during playing hours. a fine is imposed
for mere banging on the piano. In Paris
it is only during the carnival and on
fete days that the sound of the French
horn is tolerated. At other seasons II
is vigorously prohibited by the police
German intolerance OF noise is not a re-
cent thing. Wallenstein. who demanded
absolute quiet, had $50 houses torn down
in Prague and sentries posted all round
in the distance TO secure silence. There
is tradition that still further back in
time a Bohemian shepherd. seeing the
monk Adelbert asleep. blew on his pipe
in mischief. The monk called down the
curse of deafness on him.

is NOT COMMISSIONED YET.
Mr.. Wray II. knight StiI in Washing
ton--One appointment Only.


1t is quite possible that Mr.. Wray r.
Knight postmaster-elect Of this city, will
not be able to take charge of the office
this evening. as arranged. There are so
many matters Of vital importance occu-
pying the time Of President Mckinley at
this time that the post-oiiice appoint
ments have dwindled almost into insig-
uincdnce, and in a letter TO friend, Mr..
Knight, who is now in Washington. eX-
presses the belief that his commission
viii not be signed for some time TO come.
Besides the situation IN Cuba, there are
other matters Of paramount Importance
90 be taken up before the postmasters'
commissions will be reached. Mr.
Knights bond has been given and APP
proved. and all the papers constituting
Mr. knight postmaster Of this city have
been prepared. and only need the Presi-
dents signature to place knight in con-
troll Of the office.
The idea has gained currency that Mr.
knight win make some sweeping changes
in the personnel Of the post-oflice force
but ID has been authorltatively stated
that he will only make one, appointing
Mr. John L. Grubbs to succeed Mr.. Lewis
D. Crenshaw as assistant postmaster.
Mr Knight was, of course. anxious 10
take care Of as many Of his friends as
possible. and his authority in this direc-
ton was most carefully eslmined and
discussed with the leaders here. and with
powers that be I'm Washington. The re-
suit of the investigation has served to
show that with the exception Of the as
sstant. all other positions in the Office
are held under the civil-service rules, and
these will be duly observed.
