the original friend to the Americans,

soon after the American occupation

was that they were more prosperous

than ever before, because they felt
their rights to be more settled and Sc

went. It developed at the hearings
that these people had simple tradi-

which impressed the commission as be-

no apparent reason for interfering
with them. Each community has a.

life by his Datto, on account of his
wisdom and familiarity with Moro

Modern Transportat,o D.vlca..

Two modern transportation devices
have been invented by a British engin-
eer, who has constructed trolley auti-
mobile line, similar to that exhibited
at the Paris exposition, at Ederswalde,
small city near. the German capital.
In this system the automobile receives
it's motive power from an overhead
WIRE, by means of a trolley, which is
connected with the automobile by
movable cable. This shows the We
hicle to turn out at any place on the
road. The line has been fayorably in.
spected by experts, and the system is
expected to meet with general favor
in Germany.
