wANAMAKER LIKES WILHELM.
Impressions Gained During His Visit
to the Imperial Yacht


NEW YORK, Sept. John Wana-
maker, who was one of party of Ameri-
cans whoswent on cruise to the North
Cape, Norway, in July, returned To-Day
on the Hamburg American Auguste Vic
toria- AtAalesund on July 20 the Empe-
ror William OF Germany, who was aboard
his yacht, the Hohenzollern, cruising in
Arctic waters, sent word to Captain
Kaempff, of the Auguste Victoria that he
would be happy to receive and then enter
tain representative American en- the
imperial craft. Captain Kaempff decided
that Mr.. Wanamaker was the man the
Emperor wanted to see. Mr.. Wanamaker
said today about his visit to the Hchen-
zollern:
1T was an unusual courtesy on the part
Of the Emperor TO give me an hour of his
time as well as his personal attention in
showing me over the Hohenzo.Iern. l
was much impressed with the scope OF the
kaisers intellect. de was desirous OF in
forming himself on subjects in which the
Americans are most interested. Believe
that he is broad-minded; he has not the
narrowness that ill-informed persons at
tribute TO him. To me he seemed to be
filled with the purpose not only to be a
ruler, but to advance the welfare and
happiness OF his people l am very sure
that his pride in the tradition and the
present glory OF the German Empire will
not cloud his appreciation of the near
Western empire which is made up in no
inconsiderable part of German Americans.
There can be no doubt it win be no fault
of the young and vigorous Kaiser if the
relations between America and Germany
are not OF the closest and most cordial
character. | may say that while / was
speaking TO the Emperor in a private ca
pacity | also represented my country. and
therefore used whatever common sense 1
could command to increase the good will
of one nation toward the other"

HAMBURGs STREET CAR SYSTEM
1t Is Relieved 10 Be InappIicabie in
This Country.


The street ear system of Hamburg. Ger
many. which is stated in Government re-
port from Consul Hugh Pitcairn to be the
most complete on the Continent. and which
was described in The Evening Times yes
tsrday has impressed quite a number OF
citizens Among the marked features OF the
system are the stopping OF cars at certain
designated hating places for the purpose
of taking on passengers and reducing ths
delay for this purpose to a minimum, and
no seat, no fare" system, which has
worked with admirable success When a
car has aboard a stated number OF passen-
gers who iii every seat, the conductor low
ers a sign showing that the ear is occupied.
and no more passengers can be taken on
until some of the seats are vacated. Among
the local officials. Presidant Dunlop, of the
Capital Traction Company. has expressed
himself as believing these innovations i'm
practicable in this country.
Mr.. Dunlop says that he does not think
the majority Of American street car pat
Tons would desire TO wait for cars having
empty seats rather than ride or a well
filed car and stand. He maintains that this
would be the case were the Hamburg system
inaugCratsd in this city. He says that ar
the hours when there is a rush TO and
from the departments and business centre OF
the city the ears would I'LL up so rapidly
on the no seat. no fare system that
even though ears might be run close to-
gsther, passengers would often be compeIIeI
10 wait a long time for one having vacant
seats. He thinks Americans are too pTo-
gressiye and in too much OF a hurry TO dJ
this. Neither does he think anything wOul-
be gained by the public through the estab-
Hshment OF stations, say three blocks dis
tant, at which passengers might board
car Ii might save time. he thinks, brf
even if that were SO he does not believe II
public would relish the walk OF several
extra blocks.

(From the Sc. Paul Despatch)
Probably no living colored manor, for that
matter, dead one--has done more for the American
negro than has Booker T. Washington. Mr..
Washington has taught the negroes that eduea-
ton and decency are the two factors that must
be employed in bringing them up to the stand
ard of the times, and because he has taught
this, and refused to allow himself to be used as
a tool TO get few cheap jobs for few cheap
negro politicians he has been ''denounced'' by
the Afro-American council. Good for Booker T.
Washington The best people OF all the races in
America are with him. and will be with him
as long as he remains what he is. He doesn't
need the Afro American council.

That is the view taken by the Administra-

GEMS LOST IN SEA SANDS.
Many Precious stones Have BeeR
Dropped by Bathers.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle
The recent loss by a Chicago woman of
fashion of a valuable diamond earring
upon the sands of Newport has led to re-
miniscences of other similar losses. II
has been computed that over 100000
worth of jewels are lost every season at
American summer resorts. The greater
part Of these disappear at the seaside,
and it is believed that a comparatively
small part are actually stolen. AT the
various summer resort hotels at this time
every bulletin board will be profusely pla-
carded with notices Offering all sorts OF
| rewards for the finding or return of miss
ing jewels. Last year the loss of jewels
| frequently amounted TO $4,000 In a single
instance.
At some of the most fashionable resorts,
such as Newport or Bar Harbor. the own
ers Of very costly jewels frequently take
| the precaution of leaving the gems i'm
some safe deposit vault in the city and
sending all the way to town for them
every time they are needed. That SO
much more jewelry Is lost proportlonately
In the summer than during the winter Is
due to the rather foolish display which
Is made of such valuables on hotel piaz-
zas. the sands, and even in the ocean
itself. The bathers at the fashionable re-
sorts sometimes indulge In the caprice
of appearing In the water wearing several
thousand dollars worth of diamonds. The
chance Of losing these trinkets while ex-
crossing or lying about on the beach are.
Of course. very great. The loss of jewell
ry in this way Is constantly causing much
unjust suspicion. A wealthy woman az
Narragansett last summer reported the
loss of some 5000 worth of jewels to the
hotel proprietor and suggested that the
hotel employees might throw some light
on the subject A careful investigation
ia He'd 10 reveal the Jewels however until
early this summer, when the lady herself,
on returning to the hotel, found them I'M
der a loose board in the floor where she
had herself placed them year ago for
safe keeping and completely forgotten
them.
