NO STRAPS IN BERLIN CARS
senGer II Permit ed to En-
ter the Car.

There is no hanging on to straps in
the street cars of Berlin, even in the
rush hours. The police regulations for
bid the carrying of a larger number of
passengers in car than is authorized,
and that number, which is posted con-
spicuously in every car, Isl the same as
the number of seats, plus few per.
mitted to be carried on the front and
rear platforms, usually six persons
on the two platforms, says the New
York Sun.
When all the seats are filled no pas
senger is permitted to enter the car.
Standing in aisles or holding on to
straps is not permitted. Similarly on
the platforms when six passengers
have found places there.
"This regulation" says Consul Gen.
eral Mason, 'often separates man
and his wife, who are not allowed to
return home by the same car, but it
has the effect that there is no over
crowding and standing on each Others
feet. The conductor and motorman
are instructed to enforce the regula-
ton and they do it without fear or
favor. The conductor is, in this coun-
try, clothed with the authority of a
policeman on board his car, and can
put off any passenger who misbehaves.
This is probably the meat of the whole
matter. The conductor is municipal
officer within the prescribed limits of
his duty"

WELL PAID FOR HER WORK.
Addressing Invitations Gives a New
York Woman a Handsome
Income.

A New York woman of considerable
social prominence, but limited means,
succeeds in maintaining her position
by a novel industry that does not, in
the opinion of "the set" place her out
lside the pale of responsibility. She
addresses invitations and attends to
correspondence as a means of adding
to her income. She has the entree to
most of the well-known houses in the
city. Many of her patrons consider it
an unusual favor to have their invita-
tions 60 out to the world addressed
in her unmistakable chirography.
Some of them are never able to be in
vited to the houses that she goes to,
says New York exchange.
She realizes how much some of her
patrons appreciate her services and
her prices are high-much higher than
any other person charge for the same
service. She makes very good living
out of this rather arduous work and
her time is much occupied.
It is familiar saying that persons
who are most occupied by social duties
are most punctilious in discharging
them promptly. This shows itself
strikingly in a custom that developed
first this season.
It is now considered the smartest
usage by persons who devote thought
to such matters to leave cards the day
after large or elaborate entertain
ment. It is not expected, of course,
that the hostess will be seen. That is
now the least part of call. But it is
good form to leave cards the day after.

AND THE FROG CAME BACK.
was Taken Far from His Favorlte
Spring House, But They Couldn't
Lose Him.

Nearly every living thing has local
habitation and abiding place which it
regards as it's home. Even frogs have
an attachment for particular places in
which to spend their leisure hours.
About three years ago Pennsylvania
farmer named Anderson found largo
frog in front of the spring house, and
when the milkmaid opened the door
to put her pail of milk in the spring
the frog hoped in behind her.
Goodness" said the maid, "but
you're big fellow"
1t was big fellow. From his nose
to the ends of his extended legs the
frog measured Is inches. 1t hoped
out of reach of the girls hand and par
TALLY buried itself in a bed of clay in
the darkest corner of the spring house.
| There, in a stupor, neither eating nor
drinking, it remained until the spring.
Then it departed.
Each autumn since then the frog
has appeared at the first sign of frost
and made his winter bed in the spring
house. This year he came as usual.
But the farmer desired to make an ex-
| pertinent on him.. He awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
In wagon and carried to a place q
mile down the road. There he was
left.
Before evening he was back again.
The milkmaid found him at sunset
seated before the spring house door,
waiting patiently to be let in.

AN AGE OF OLD MEN.
Senator Depew Celebrates His Birth

Senator Chauncey M. Depew was en-
tertained by tho Montauk club tho
other night in celebration of his BIRTH
day. "Once," said Senator Depew, II
congratulated friend upon his birth
day and he replied: please do not re-
member my birthday; it is painful
reminder of how few remain It's
different now" continued the senator.
I'VE celebrate the years we have, thank
God they are so many, and trust provi-
dence for the future" Senator Depew
spoke then upon the usefulness of tho
old man. He spoke of Admiral Keppel,
OF the British navy, who at "a is think
ing seriously of marrying again.
1T is an age of old men," the senator
declared. 1--WE are the youngest of the
great powers, we have youthful and
strenuous president, and yet it is the
mature, wisdom of age which governs
us. The house of representatives,
since the adoption of the rules Of
Speaker Reed, is under the absolute
sway of its speaker, and by universal

consisting of two insulated conduc-
tors extending along the track, each
conductor being divided into blocks
and each block having q battery To-
Gated in the middle, thus converting
each half of the block into an in
sulated pole. BY allowing each block
to overlap the other one-half, the in
ventor insures constant protection
to all trains. Each engine or motor
car carries simple mechanism
which instantly shuts off the motive
power and applies the brakes in q
space of time relative to the speed
of the train. When two engines, each
carrying contact with the insulated
conductors along the track, enter in:

thus the trains brought to a stand

Base Ball n Lexington.

Last week witnessed three pretty
games of base ball in this place. On
Friday afternoon the Sand Dam team
and the Lexington lime crossed bats
and after hotly contested game, the
score resulted in favor of Lexington
by handsome maj 1rity.
On Saturday morning Lexington
and Sand Dam again went to the bat
and the Sand Dam boys came off
with flying colors, having defeated
Lexington. The game, however,
was stopped after the seventh inning.
This was the game that was booked
for Sand Dam vs. Chspip, but for
some reason the Chaplin team failed
to be on time. at the seventh inn
ing the Chaplin boys arrived and the
game between Lexington and Sand
Dam was called for the Ssnd Dam
boys to rest up to play Chapin in the
afternoon.
The game between Cbapia and
Sand Dam was the prettiest game
ever witnessed here. It was a
good played game and was a contest
between the batteries up 10 and in
cluding the ninth inning, not score
was made by either club. In the
tenth inning Walter Eieazer scored
for Chapin and in the sane inning
Muller Lewis made 3 tie by safely
crossing the home plate for Sand
Dam. In the eleventh inning Hob
Shealy put one more run to the
credit Of Chaplin and Sand Dam
failed to score, thus giving the SCORE
to Chaplin 2 to l out of eleven inn
ings. Batteries-Cbapin, Haltiwan-
ger and Shesly; Sand Dam, Fsllaw

A terrific wind and hail storm was
an unwelcomed visitor at Batesburg

siderable damage to property. Its
path was narrow, but its destruction
was great. A house Of MIR. Ridgell

it will have to be torn down and
rebuilt. Crops and gardens in its
path are totally destroyed.

l. has been estimated that the
bridge across Saluda river will pay a
dividend of 10 per cent to the county
on the money expended in paying the

q saving to the tax payers.
