MOTOR CARRIAGES IN BERLIN.
Consul-General Mason's Report on the
Recent Exposition.

< - 49,
A unique issue of the consular re-
ports" published daily by the state de-
partment, has appeared This issue OF
the paper is profusely illustrated with
many full-page, half-tone engravings,
the subject of illustration being a re-
port from Consul-General Frank II.
Mason of Berlin, ON the international
motor carriage exposition at that city.
Nh Mason reports the opening of the
exposition on September 8, in the pres
ence of the German Emperor, and de-
scribes the principal features of the
show. He says in part:
I'm estimating the success Of this eI-
hibition, it is essential to remember
that automobilsm and the manufacture
of motor vehicles are of comparatively
recent birth in Germany. This exhi-
bition has revealed for the first time
how vigorously German engineers and
manufacturers have taken hold of the
new industry. The exhibition shows
about the usual proportion Of carriages
propelled by electricity, and some form
of hydrocarbon motor-Oil, benzine or
gasoline. Large sales have been mate,
some of the different types having been
sold as many as 20 times for future de-
livery, and it is noticed that for town
or city use the electric carriages
have the preference among purchasers,
while for country districts and freight
and delivery wagons the benzine and
gasoline motors have the call. Three
trials of speed were among the pre-
scribed features. The first, from Ber-
lin to Baumgarten bridge and return,
4O.4 miles, on September Il, was won
by an Aston tricycle. driven by Broca,
in 100 minutes and 80 seconds, al
though the winner lost some time
through having been shut off at rail-
way crossings"

Madison, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE greatest
gridiron contest far and away the west
has ever seen has been arranged for
Madison next Saturday, Dec. 9, when
the Wisconsin and Chicago university
elevens will contest for football suprem-
acy. Preparations are being made
| for at least 10000 spectators The
athletic council of Wisconsin uni
versity has formally decided to permit
the game and to sanction the agree
ment reached at Chicago recently,
which Dean Birge, as it's representa-
tive, helped to formulate-the ar
rangement by which Michigan and
Wisconsin will hereafter alternate with
Chicago in Thanksgiving games and by
which the big seven of the past is in
creased to big nine by the admis-
sion of Iowa and Indiana universities.
Upon receipt Of the statement of the
council, Manager Fisher Immediately
wired it to Stage at Chicago and tele-
graphed the members of the team to
appear at the training table last even
ing, preparatory to going into hard
training today. He received a reply
from Stage that was in the nature of
an appeal, the Chicago coach suggest
Ing that the game, if played in Chi
cago, would bring an income of $40
600 to $4,000. Mr.. Fisher refused to
recede from his position, contending
that revenues are not the chief purpose
of college athletics. The Ringing
Bros circus seats from Baraboo will
be secured if possible and bleachers
will be erected with them at the north
side and probably both ends of the field
to seat $500 to 1000 people. The
present seating capacity of the grand
stand bleachers is $500 The manage
ment will also place chairs around the
edges of the bleachers taking advan-
tage Of every opportunity to secure
extra room for the great crowd that
is expected to come from the city, the
state and Chicago.
The officials for the game will be
Evarts and Bob Wrenn, Harvard foot
ball experts, the former as umpire and
the latter as referee The admission
prices for the game will probably be 81
with 81 for reserved seats. Game will
be called at o'clock sharp.
A rate of at least / 1-3 fares for the
round trip will be granted by the rail
roads, which may give a So rate for
the Chicago crowd if it promises to
reach the proportions of the Madison
delegates to Chicago Thanksgiving
day Special trains are expected from
a dozen points.

present not a single case of the diseese

he recalled that scene he was filled

on the handsome face, the despairing
love with which he chung to wife and
child-all came wildly before him.
More than once the lawyer had been

Bralyn-more than once Ismay was
tempted to clasp her arms round Pauls
neck and promise never to leave him
He said nothing, but he looked like a
man on whom sentence of death had
been passed.
He exhausted his resources in order
that his wife might be nicely dressed
He had bought a dress of soft, lustrous
silk, and they both thought in their
simplicity that elegance could go nc
farther.

taken care of YOU" said the young
husband, half sadly, half fondly.
The morning of departure came, and

and he clasped her in his arms.
"Ismay, darling, you will not lei

me again."
She soothed him as women know
how to soothe the fears of those who
love them.

make no difference to me. I value no
rank-I value you, my darling. If he

| He cannot" she whispered. Who
can take me from you? Am not your
wife-your own wife,"
His great love, his passionate
despair, touched her; she felt that she
would rather die than leave him.
Paul forgot that they were not alone;
he knelt at her feet, clasped her hands
in his own, and covered them with
kisses, with passionate tears.

himself Mr.. Ford said, MAY Heaven

happiness to a woman's keeping!"

Paul said.
81 will not go at all, unless you are
quite willing, Paul.
But he was too generous, too noble,
to accept the sacrifice from her.
"Yon shall go, my darling, and take
the boy with you I can trust you-ah,
thank Heaven, [ can trust you! You
will come back to me, and you will
know then that all the world can
never give you the value of my love-

and he was content. She said after
wards to Mr.. Ford
''It was we'll we kept our secret and
said nothing of Lord Carlswood's
condition; if he had known them, he
would never have let me 60"
And Mr.. Ford sighed again as he said
to himself
Heaven help the man who trusts
his happiness to a Woman's keeping!"
