A PENALTY FOR BEING POLITE.

From the PHILADELPHIA Press.
1t is more difficult to be polite in the
city Of Hamburg :han in any other place
in Europe There the most chivalrous
man has TO think twice before giving up
his seat in a ear 10 a lady, as he may be
turned off the car tor politeness. IL seems
that the Hamburg trolley cars will seat,
according to size, twenty or tWenty-eight
persons, ten 10 fourteen on each side. In
addition four persons are allowed on the
front, and five persons on the back plat
form. When the car is full the conductor
hangs out a sign, 'BesetZt," which means
occupied" and is absolutely forbidden
TO take on another passenger until some
one gets off the car.
Sometimes. while the conductor is in
front collecting fares. a lady Will step on
the car. which is already occupied" As
there is no conductor on hand to prevent
her, the lady steps inside, and the gentle
man who may offer her seat comes out
and takes his stand on the platform
When the conductor, after going his
rounds. returns 20 his post, he prompt y
requests the gentleman to step off the
ear. as he has forfeited his seat. and the
car is fully occupied" Should he refuse

kENTUCKY,s GREAT RUN.
Naval Officers Pronounce Her Uneqnaied
Under Natural Draft.

Special TO The Post
Newport News Va, Nov. 27.-The new
battle-ship Kentucky. which had a highly
satisfactory speed trial of the New Eng
land coast last Friday, arrived from Bos-
ton this morning at s O'Clock. The work
OF putting on the finishing touches will
commence at once. and in a few months
the Kentucky Will be reacdy 10 go in
commission.
In speaking Of the trip down the coast,
General Supt- W. A. Post had this 10
say: I'VE left the Boston pilot at Boston
Light at 5.09 o'clock Saturday morning.
and ran slowly out through Massachu-
setts Bay to Highland Light. on Cape
Cod We passed there at S.34 o'clock,
and sailed 120 miles to South Shoal Light.
which marks the lower point Of Nan
tucket Shoals. From South Shoals, the
Kentucky ran 360 miles TO Cape Charles
in "a hours and Z minutes, making an
average speed Of 1873 knots an hour un-
der natural draft distance of forty
four miles, between Winter Quarter Light
and Hog Island Light. the Kentucky
made an average of 15.3 knots an hour
under natural draft. From the time the
Kentucky left Boston Light until her ar
rival at Cape Charles yesterday even
ing. the trip consumed just 36 hours, and
the average speed for the entire distance
was 1i-6 knots.
1T is well known that no ship in the
navy to-day is capable of equaling the
Kentuckys homeward run under natural
draft When the ship arrived here this
morning her engines and boilers were in
perfect condition. and the Kentucky is
capable of starting right out now and
doing the work or the past week over
again. All of the officers of the navy on
board are greatly pleased, and regard
the Kentucky's work as most eXtraordi-
nary Derformance"

tenth campaign. In many more charges
he has faced and dealt death. over and
over again he has been mentioned in
dispatches for gallantry in action
Gen. Sir Redvers Henry Butler, V. c.,
entered as ensign the Kings Royal Rifle
Corps. He took part in the Chinese war
of lStst. and went to Manitoba in 1870 with
Lord Wolseley, against Rlel, and three
years later to the Gold coast. In the
Ashanti campaign of 1913 Gen. Butler took
part in four engagements, including the
decisive battle of Coomassie. After five
wears. he was back again in Africa,
where leading the Frontier Light Horse
against the Kaffirs, he exhibited great
personal bravery: He participated, dis
tineushing himself more than ever in the
battlefield in the Zulu war of 1879, and
in the Boer war that followed. He was
present at Kassasin and Tel-ei-Kehir, at
El Teb and Tamai, and won the battle Of
Abu-Klea.
Gen. Butler is also known as the author
of the Infantry Drill Book. He is man
of enormous energy, and of peculiar
cold daring. which springs from the head
rather than the emotions. a rigid dis
ciplinarian, stern and eXacting. he is fear

always tried 10 reach at the end of the
day one of the larger cities having good
hotels. so that he would not have to en-
dure the hardships incidental to the hard
beds and harder diet of the average cOun-
try hostelry.
on one occasion he had had an especially
tiresome day. owing to railway delays, and
did not reach Rochester until almost mid
