PRETTY CITY WITH DEFECTS.
Some Amusing Incidents Told of
Detroit.

Detroit" said a travelling man at the
Denison Hotel last night is, in my humble
opinion, the prettiest city in the United
States and one of the best business towns,
but it has, 1 must confess, its defects.
Probably the most serious of all is its de-
termined adherence TO old-fashioned sun
time instead of the standard time that is
used almost universally all over the United
States. In Detroit people, almost without
exception, go by sun time, or city time
as they call ii. They transact business by
it and make social engagements by it, with
a calm disregard for the opinion of the rest
of the world. In that respect Detroit is
very far behind the times. Some amusing
and also annoying incidents have hap
pened through people becoming confused in
their time schedules.
Not long ago a well-known young So
ciety man of Chicago went to Detroit for
a visit. He was handsome clrap and made
a hit with the ladies. Naturally he re-
ce1ved bunch of invitations TO various
affairs as soon as he got into the city. Re-
spending to many of them he invariably
found that he was behind time At dinner
parties he kept his host or hostess waiting
for twenty minutes or half an hour. He was
behind at theater parties and late in full
filling dance engagements. One night he
had an engagement with a particularly
charming girl whom he had pronounced q
winner at first sight. He said that he would
call at $50 o'clock and, after meeting with
and found that by rapid driving he would
just have time to get there on the minute.
To his CONSERVATION he found the charming
girl as frosty a winter morning and
ch1llingly polite. He was at a loss to I'M
derStand the reason, and being a frank,
impulsive sort of chap, he asked her fatty
what was the cause of her Arctic manner.
Womanlike, she evaded the question until
he got desperate, and then she calmly in
formed him that no girl cared to be kept
waiting for half an hour. 1t did not argue,
she said, that the man was particularly de-
sirous of her society If he could not show
up when he had promised. Well, the Chi
cago man puzzled over the matter quite
while and recalled that he had acquired
most unpleasant reputation for unpunctual-
ity. At length he tumbled TO the reason.
1t was nothing more nor less than that he
had been going by standard time instead
of sun time, consequently he was always
than the people with whom he consorted
He had never given the matter a moments
thought before. In his hotel the clocks ran
by standard time because the guests had to
make trains by them, and he had not no.
ticed that all other clocks were much
faster.
six months ago a reform was tried
The city government attempted to go by
standard time and business houses also
tried to go by ii. But the old habit was
TOO firmly fixed and it could not be eradi-
Gated, people were constantly making mis-
takes, missing engagements and getting
tangled up in all sorts of predicaments
and so they had 10 go back to the old way
Some day Detroit will have to come to it.
1 suppose, but it will be hard task"

Il spend q great deal of time in Switzer-
land" said Mr.. WOrmser, land while l was
al Wenterthur about month ago, l saw
small part of the great automobile race,
from Paris 10 Vienna, that William K.
Vanderbilt and FoXhall Keene took part in.
One day my attention was called to
great automobile that was passing along
the Alp highway near Wenterthur. The
good-looking man dressed all in white. and
with him, courier, also attired in white.
Inc machine was speeding along the road
at a fast clip and the two men had their
heads down and their teeth set hard. The
automobile was Willie Vanderbilt's White
Ghost and the first man was Vanderbilt
himself Afterward his machine broke
down and he had to withdraw from the
race. Keene met with the same bad luck.
The Shah Of Persia was at Carlsbad re-
Gently while l was there. Carlsbad is one
of the greatest resorts of Europe, you
know. 1t is the Mecca of beauty and fash
ion at a certain season, and for a few
weeks you can see there the most beautiful
women and the most famous men of the
continent. Russian princes are as thick as
cherries on a tree. You can hardly walk
out without touching elbows with a
swarthy princeling. Serene highnesses and
other German nOblemen are common and
the French nobility is always well repre-
scented. They go a fast pace at Carlsbad
and there is always something doing. The
Shah OF Persia was there during my stay
and he seemed to be a most democratic
kind of chap. Although gorgeously attired,
he moved about like any other man and
got away from formality as much as pos
sible.
when I went over I travelled on the
same boat that took J. Pierpont Morgan
over. 1 had a curiosity to see if he would
indulge in the great national game, but Mr..
Morgan kept away from the seductions of
poker. He played cribbage frequently but
1 did not see him play a poker hand. L
nave heard, though, that he is a rafting
good player, with a nerve that is ironclad
and a poker face that should be worth
millions to him. Morgan never talks bust
ness on boat, no matter whom he is with.
He gives himself up, apparently, to getting
enjoyment out of his ocean trip and keeps
away from business details. He is a won
derful man, but he is too great a power
My opinion is that things will so shape
themselves that he will lose some of the
tremendous power he has acquired He has
more than one man should have"

A feature of yesterday at Acton Park
which was not on the programme was a
fishing party given by Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Marshall for a number of young people at
the camp. Included in the party were Mr.
William Bryan and wife. Miss Mary Smith
Miss Jessie Linton, Miss Dorothy Marshall
and Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall. The Rev L.
s Kennedy also accompanied the expedi-
ton as ''chaperon." Hardly had the bell
calling the hotel guests to breakfast fin
ished ringing when the fishers sailed forth
in search of adventure and bites They
selected Buck creek as the scene of action.
Many wonderful experiences are being re-
lated TO those who did not go but remained
for the services. However, ii is said the
party did not agree on the number Of fish
caught and few other very minor details
in the eyes of those who went. but very
important ones TO the persons who did not
share in the big feast. of which so much
was told Visions of fish sandwiches and
other pleasant eatableS were brought to
the minds of the listeners. but it was OBJ
served that the hosts of the aston gave a
luncheon on the return Of the party. and 1t
is said the fishers who had such a big meal
on the creek did full justice to the repast
However, the members of the little fishing
colony displayed hands full of fish scales
as ample proof of success. and their friends
say that they will give them credit for the
life of one inhabitant of the water but as
TO more they still have a faint doubt.
