Of the man who for thirty-six years
was the private secretary of the EN-
peror Franz Josef. From 1863 to 1899
every official document signed by the
Emperor was edited and placed before
him by Adolf Freiherr Won Braun. The
Emperor had absolute confidence in
him and often asked his advice. Braun
was an affable man. but whenever the
conversation touched on politics he
became dumb.

TROLLEY CIRCUS SERVICE.

Exceedingly Fine Accommodations for Hauling Large Crowds Yesterday. The fine service rendered the public yesterday by the officials of the trolley lroad in the handling of the large crowds has brought forth many favor lable comments from the patrons of the |road. Without doubt the crowd trans ported yesterday to and from the circus grounds was one of the largest that
 ever gathered in New Haven to see a lcircus. The task of caring for the lspeedy and comfortable transportation | of so many people was by no means an easy one. But the work done by the officials in charge of the matter did away with much of the disagreeable waiting and crowded riding commonly met with by the public on such occa- sions. The company deserves the many remarks of appreciation made by it's patrons for it's great consideration for the public convenience and it's excellent lplans for bringing the circus crowds Unto the city from the outskirts and the
 nearby places.
