GERMAN POLICE TOUR.
Berlin Police President AdmIrss the
New York Force.

Count Won Bernsdorf, president OF
the Berlin police, who recently re-
turned to Germany from the United
States, has submitted to Emperor Will
liam a written narrative OF his expert
ences and observations in America.
with appreciative notes on the New
York police.
The police president and his five
travelling companions, four young
guardsmen and junior attache OF the
diplomat-service, happened to be sent
this wise: The emperor was talking
to group of subalterns at the Casino
of Potsdam early in December. and
asked them where they were going for
their holidays. One was going to
Paris and another intended to visit
Bohemia.
why don't you go where you can
learn something?" interrupted the en-
oeror. Go to America. You shall go
as my guests, and tell me all about 1t
when you come home"
He thereupon selected a party, In
Guiding Count Won Bernsdorf. The
emperor paid all expenses. The party.
after reaching New York January Z
last, went through the West Indies
and afterward spent three weeks in
New York. Count Won Bernsdorf, with
a detective sergeant detailed by Police
Commissioner Greene, studied the po-
lice system OF New York.
The thing which most astonished
him was that he was not bothered in
the streets by dissolute women. The
count told q newspaper correspondent
that he especially admired the size of
the New York policemen. their smart
uniforms and their courtesy. and he
referred in his report to the large, well
ordered police stations of New York
and contrasted them with the rooms
occupied by the Berlin police. But"
the count added, using a recent addi-
tion to his vocabulary, "the Americans
have money to throw at the birds"
Since his return Count Won Berns-
dorf has timed the Berlin firemen in
responding to calls. He found that 1t
takes three or four minutes to start
an engine in Berlin and contrasted
this with New York's thirty seconds to
do the same thing.

The sexton of an Episcopal church

the remarks and comments made by
visitors. One Christmas, when the
church was beautifully decorated with
evergreen and frs. an old lady walked
up the aisle to the chancel and stood
smiling the air after everyone else had
left the church. Don't it smell
solemn" she said at last to the sexton
as she turned away with evident re-

meant before to-day. We don't have
