But now the castle, its rugged walls
and towers outlined against the sky,
begins to beckon inslstently to our
curiosity. Nothing appeals more
strongly to the American imagination
than an old castle, and 1t Is with
breahless awe and delight that we
climb the rude steps cut in the side
of the rock, and follow the steep stone.
paved way leading to the entrance.
Looking over the City.
Passing through a gloomy archway,
we find ourselves in wide court Cor
is it terrace?) and forget to look at
the buildings grouped about three
sides of 1t, in our delight at the view
over the town to which the fourth
side lies open.
The quaint red-tiled roofs, what a
picture they make, their gables turned
at every imaginable angle in follow
ing the crooked lines of the streetsl
To the right, the river escaping from
between the rows of houses, meanders
joyfully across green meadows and
glances in the sun. From here we
see, too, the modern suburb which has
sprung up outside the walls, and
where all those whose taste runs to
squareness in architecture and the
--latest improvements" may indulge it
to the utmost Directly below and
close to the curving line of the wall,
stands Durer's house. Those upper
windows open from the room where
he painted and saw visions, while the
sharp voice of his unappreciative
spouse fioated up to him from the low
er regions. What a fate, to have
ones name immortalized as a scold.
| Inside the Castle.
At one side of the terrace and apart
from the main building stands five
cornered tower, destined ever after to
] appear in our imagination as the place
whence nightmares emanate. Inside
we climb upstairs and downstairs into
various oddly-shaped and sparsely-
| lighted chambers in which are kept
all kinds of instruments of torture
some in use as late as the seventeenth
century-some dating from the Middle
Ages-and all horrible beyond de-
scription. Come quickly out into the
open air and let the sunshine chase
these terrible specters of past agony
from our brain. Through the halls OF
state and rooms of every size and
shape we pass, lingering at last, en-
tranced, on the battlements, to look
down the sheer side of the rock into
the moat lying far below, and then
away across the stretch of plain, into
the blue and hazy distance.

PETITIONS FOR SERVICE.
Popular Demand for Rural Free De-
livery Unabated.

According to tables prepared in the rural
master General Cortelyou by Fourth AS
sistant DeGraw, there is yet no per-
ceptible abatement in the demand for rural
free delivery. When the tables were pre-
pared there were pending 470S petitions for
new service. as against $40 similar petit
tons on file one year ago. an increase OF
GIG over the preceding month.
The work of establishing the service is
proceeding as rapidly as possible under the
requirements for civil service examination
of the candidates for rural carriers on the
routes approved, and with the unavoidable
delay incident to the careful scrutiny of
each case favorably reported the prepara-
ton of the routes laid out and examina-
ton of Contiguous routes so as to avoid as
far possible duplication of service either
by rural carriers or by box delivery of star
route contractors.
Rural routes are being ordered estab-
lished at an. average rate of about 600 a
47OS cases pending were ordered into oper-
alton either for May Is or June 1. With
the beginning of the new fiscal year on
July l. when the new appropriation for ru-
raj free delivery becomes available, large
number of new routes will be esta blished,
the service to start August 1. 1t has been
found necessary to give at least sixty days
notice of the intention to start new service,
so as to allow full time for all preliminary
arrangements, which frequently include dis
continuance of minor post offices.

DECLARED TO BE NEW.
Governments Interpretation Of Law
of Neutral Ports.

1t Is maintained that the decision reached
by this government that the Russian YES
sells cannot make repairs because of the
tact That the damages were inflicted while
In battle Is an entirely new Interpretation
OF international law. Heretofore during the
present war when a vessel found refuge in
neutral port she was granted reasonable
length of time to make repairs. Just as If
she had been injured in bad weather. In
most cases. however the vessels have en-
tered neutral ports to escape from pursuing
warships. and were In practically every
case glad to take advantage of intern
ment. The government here takes the po-
sition that If the vessels were allowed to
De repaired and then go FORTH the vessels
would have made a base of neutral port.
Particularly would 1t be true in the present
case. when all of the cruisers could not be
made SeawOrthy In less than sixty days,
according to reports from Admiral Train.
While Russia can do absolutely nothing
about the course the United States govern
ment has taken. as every government con-
trolls its own harbors. and has It's own
definitions and interpretations of internal
tional usages, the departure from custom
Is likely to cause the Russians to resent the
pererhptOry refusal of this government to
allow the Russian vessels to be repaired.
1t Is said that In every case during the
present war permission has been granted
vessels to make repairs IL they desired.
1nterned warshipS are known only TO the
present conflict. In previous wars the
question has never arisen with regard to
ships. although armies have been informed
heretofore. The question of procedure in
case vessel of beiigerant found its way
to a neutral port was decided for the iirst
time at the beginning of the present war
when a Russian destroyer found it's way
to Chefoo.

Complain of Garbage Station.

Edward NJ Grinder and others living in
the vicinity Of the garbage transfer sta
ton at New Jersey avenue and K street
southeast have protested again to the
Commissioners against the continuance of
the station at that place. They reiterate
the charges that the station constitutes a
nuisance
When the specifications were drafted for
bids for the collection and disposal Of
garbage the Commissioners included a
clause which provided for the transfer at a
point outside of the District. They discov-
cred, however, that to do this would in
volve an annual additional expenditure by
the District of 500. 600, and this was consid-
cred too much. Consequently the Commits
sioners will take no action
The protestants have been informed that
their relief may be obtained through the
courts. 1t is said that If the court holds
that the present station constitutes a null
sance. as the citizens claim. the station will
have to be abolished and a transfer main
tanned outside the District at no additional
cost to the District, the expense falling ex-
clusively upon the contractor, the Wash
ington Fertilizer Company.

SAVINGS BANKS.
Views of Mr.. S. j. Masters, President
OF Peoples Savings Bank.

In speaking of savings banks and insti-
tutions, Mr. s. ]. Masters. tho president Of
the Peoples Savings Bank, said their "pur-
pose is to receive deposits of working peo-
pie and others who. because of INSULT
cient Information and the small amounts
which they possess. are not able advan-
tageously to place their own funds. De-
posits are invested as to insure the
safety of the principal and a fair income
therefrom. These Institutions fulfill an I'M
portant mission in the social economy ty
encouraging habits Of thrift and emphasize
ing the principal of investment as contrast
ed with speculation on the part OF small
holders of funds.
THE first savings banks were mutual In
situations established by public-spir ted peo-
pie entirely for the benefit of the deposit
tors. and conducted by trustees under pub
lie authority with no pecuniary advantage
to themselves. This Is still the predomi-
nant type of savings banks In eastern
states. They usually restricted in the
investment of deposits by carefully drawn
statutes, and ordinarily encourage small
deposits from the poorer classes by limit :
ing the amounts which Will be received
from one depositor and paying a higher
late of interest on small accounts than is
credited in the case of larger deposits. In
terest at the maximum rate Is frequently
confined to accounts or sou ana under,
and a limit of 5000 to 5000 is usually
ed from a single depositor.
'In the west joint stock savings banks
are more common. being banking fnstftu-
tons with paid-in capital stock, organic
ed for profit but making a specially of re-
ceiving inactive deposits at a fixed rate OF
interest. In the case of these banks. the
depostors look for the safety of their FUNDS
rather to the capital and surplus of the in
stitution and the character Of lis manage
ment than to a strict trusteeship and state
regulation in the investment of deposits.
