out of fund set apart for this pur-
pose. This fund is also drawn upon
for the purchase of the emperor's
Hungarian teams, of which he has
about ten, of horses for the dog carts
and PONIES for the young princes.
Royal stables are maintained in
Wiesbaden, Hamburg, Kiel and other
points for the accommodation of the
HOhenzollern princes and princesses,
but only the establishment at Pots
dam and Berlin are of particular gen
cral interest. The Berlin stable is
filed with coach horses, that at Pots
dam with saddle horses. The selec
tion of remounts takes place in the
spring. The horses are brought to
Berlin for inspection by the emperor.
They are carefully broken to harness
and, if found available, are sent to
.he equine high school," where their
education is completed. They are
hitched to sulkies and training carts,
driven through the business streets
and made familiar with the beating
OF drums, the firing of guns and rifles
and the shrill noise of trumpet and
fife. Particular attention is paid TO
the proper training of the black
teams used by the emperor and
empress and the dog cart horses usu-
ally driven by his majesty himself.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-07-03

In all of the uniforms the
prevailing tore is the imperial blue, the
only exception being the groom of the
dog cart who wears brown with gold.
In the large yard is located riding
court, used principally to give exercise
to the horses. The real riding hall is
on the first floor of the building and
there the great court functions are
held. For the emperor's private use
two small halls have been built. But,
as has been said, the principal riding
school is at Potsdam, near the capital
city. This institution has undergone
but few changes since the days of Fred
erick the Great The horses are here
trained according to the system in use
for the cavalry branch of the army.
The emperor's mounts are in charge of
Herr Plinzner and those of the empress
are educated by Herr Eckardt. The
horses assigned to the empress need
special training, of course, as spirited
animals resent both the use of the side
saddle and the fluttering of riding
skirts. Beside the horses belonging TO
members of the royal family the stable
at Pottsdam houses several hundred
others, for use by foreign guests, the
imperial suite and officials. Each horse
is exercised daily; in the summer time
in the open, in winter in the riding
schools attached to the stables.
The ventilation of the royal stables
at Berlin is as perfect as science can
make it.; and the building itself is a
marvel of modern iron construction.
BY simply touching a button child
can open the entire glass roof of the
main stable hall and thus change the
air in the twinkling of an eye. The
prevailing color is pure white and the
illumination comes from electric lights
placed around the wall under the roof.
Every year a certain number of the
royal horses is sold to the public. Some
are disposed Of because they are slight
~ "off color" others because they are
no longer needed or have developed
some petty vice, They are eagerly
sought after by would-be aristocrats
who are willing to pay high prices for
animals which have once been the en-
peror's, although his majesty may
never have laid his eyes upon them
after the first general inspection,
1t is somewhat surprising that EN-
peror William, who is by no means
narrow minded in things of this sort,
has not introduced an American strain
among his horses. The animals he has
are, of course fine and of distinguished
ancestry, but experts in horse flesh
claim that in general appearance they
do not compare favorably with the
pure-bred Kentucky coach horses. 1t
is said that Prince Henry, during his
recent visit to the United States, was
impressed with some of the turnouts
he saw in New York and Chicago, and
it is barely possible that he may per-
suade his imperial brother to invest
heavily in American stock.

TO a particular place. The same rule
prevails in the harness rooms, which,
by the way, contain some notable spec
linens of artistic work. The harness
of the horse driven by the emperor in
his dog cart is decorated with mount
ings of solid gold Some of the hack
harness is plated with gold, but most
of it has quadruple silver plate. The
most valuable article in the collection
is harness for saddle horse pre-
sented to Emperor William by the sui
tan of Turkey. A rumber of valuable
saddles, gifts to his majesty from the
rulers of Russia, Morocco, Persia, Siam,
Japan and China are ornamented with
gems as well as pure gold and silver
mountings, and give to the rooms the
appearance of veritable treasure cham
bers. conservative estimate places the
value of these unique presentation sad
dies at $2,OO0,000. The livery halls are
equally interesting. They give the
visitor an insight into the etiquette of
court courtesies. There are liveries

- MPEROR WILLIAM has reason
X to be proud of his horses and
equipages. There are courts
which maintain larger number OF
animals, but in point of quality the
German stables stand at the head.
The royal family of Prussia has,
from time immemorial, encouraged
the breeding of fine horses, and
rumor has it that the present ruler
is carrying his love for fine horsenesh
almost to excess.
The imperial stable at Berlin is n
marvel of architectural beauty and
cleverness of interior arrangement.

not far from the palace, and orna-
mented with pillars, columns and
sculptures of rare artistic merit. AT
are fountains-one representing Pro
metheus, straining every muscle to
defend himself against the eagle
which is attacking him; the other
Perseus and Andromeda, showing the
hero in his battle with the dragons
and back of him Andromeda with
Pegasus. Beautiful groups, picturing
the training of the horse for pur-
poses of war, lend added magnificencr
TO the rich gallery at the top of the
building.
The stable usually houses 400
horses, which are raised on the royal
stud farms, located mostly in East
Prussia. The principal farms furnish
az fresh animals annually, which are
selected by Count Wedel, imperial
master of horse; Maj. Plinzner, chief
of the Potsdam riding school, and
Herr Nestler, oquerry to his majesty
To this number of remounts are add,
ed seven coach horses and three sad
die horses for the emperor's private
use. Should more be needed, the
animals are bought in open market

In the basement are located the wash
rooms and the veterinary labora-
tories.
The number of carriages, coaches,
carts, sulkies and sleighs kept in the
halls set apart for the purpose is 400,
and If men are employed to keep
them in serviceable condition. The
famous state carriage, used only for
coronation purposes, forms the cen
ter of this unique and unparalleled
collection of vehicles. 1t was used

The stables are under the supervi-
sion of officials called wagon mas
ters," who are, without exception,
veteran sergeants of cavalry. There
are ten of these officials-two at
Potsdam and six at Berlin. The ninth
supervises the repairing of coaches,
and the tenth has charge of the har-
ness rooms. Every man in the huge
establishment Is characterized by
spotless cleanliness. The horses have
separate blankets for day and for
night. The general color for blankets
and court coaches is brown, for the
royal animals and carriages it is
blue. The blankets are perfectly
plain, the only ornamentation being

Incidents of the Famous Political
Campaign Debate Of 1853.

G7HE rival senatorial candidates,
Lincoln and Douglas, did not
travel in company, but OCCASION
ally met on the way bound for
the same destination. Once, each with
a large following myself among them
in the Douglas crowd, they steamed
down the Mississippi on little stern
wheeler belonging on White river.
AS we went down stream Mr.. Lin
colin took his stand in the bow Of the
boat, seeming to look intently ahead,
though from the speculation in his eye
saw he was thinking deeply. He did
not rouse until some one called out,
"Say, Mr.. Lincoln, doesn't this remind
you Of old times?" He smiled remi-
niscently and nodded, saying, with sly
look at Judge Douglas: Eyes. It was on
this river / learned how to keep from
striking snags.' We understood that
he meant the argumentatiye pitfalls
Douglas had so often set for him.
The debate was wearing, all allevia-
tons of chance and change and per-
sonal encounters to the contrary not
Withstanding. The debaters themselves
felt it more, think, than any of their

Douglas had just said something
which caught the crowd and set it yell

cumyented by Stanton, he, conveyed by
Justice Field, sought the aid Of the.
president, who asked if he had seen
Stanton. Yes, he had and had been
contemptuously turned down. Then" 4
said Lincoln, 81 can't help you, for I've
very little influence with this admin
istration."
He was accustomed to narrate this
experience while he was in congress-:
Upon an occasion of tellers being
somehow ordered on an unimportant
matter pudgy, bibulous member
started in ZigZag, bacchanalian gait
from the rear of the house down the
center aisle, making strenuous efforts
to keep his head in line, "as if he had
a drop Of sweat on the end of his nose
which he was afraid would drop off,
to use Lincoln's own words The sight
was so ludicrous that the general at
tention was fixed on this staggering
deyotee Of Bacchus, and no member
attempted to follow, but when he
reached the tellers he, suspecting
something to be wrong, carefully turn
ing his head and realizing the comic
situation, but which was not so com
ical to him, said, ooh, h-l!'' and with
drunken gravity staggered back to his
seat, the house roaring with glee.
It was stated at the time that Ben
Wade, chairman of the committee on
the conduct Of the war, called to com

he lamented the loss of the mules. eX-
planning that he could replace the gen
erals by a dash Of the pen, but that
the mules would cost well on to Il hun
dred dollars apiece.
But his sarcasm was so infrequent
and Withal so mild as to scarcely de-
serve that appellation. Once in Cham
paign county we had a jury out in a
murder case, which we fondly hoped
would disagree, as there was no hope
of acquittal and while we were on the
anxious seat a noisy young orator
whom Lincoln had known from child
hood, being stanch friend of his ia
ther, was making a loud speech in a
whisky" case, when Lincoln, bored
beyond endurance, said. 81 wish he
would quit, for I'm afraid the jury
will agree, so as to get here to hear
that speech" But this bit Of sarcasm
was. richly deserved.
In like manner during the war the
persistent claims Of some pretended
