GERMAN MOBILES AS TRADERS
Emperor Heads Aristocrats Who Are
In Business for Profit to
Themselves.

BERLIN, March SO.-(special 1.-THE Ger
man emperor. as well as several of the
prominent members of the most exclusive
class of German aristocracy are active
men of business, who do not hesitate 20
canvass orders on behalf of their respective
firms This interesting Information is con-
tanned In an urgent appeal addressed by a
young German nobleman to his fellow
aristocrats to emancipate themselves from
the obsolete idea that it is beneath their
dignity to participate in any commercial
occupation.
The emperor possesses extensive pottery
works on his estate at Cadinen in east
Prussia and conducts them himself with
great commercial zeal. Exquisite produc-
lions of the imperiat factories are sold In
the Berlin branch Of the business. which
is known as the Hohenzollern stores.
The emperor thus openly trades under
his own name and moreover frequently
seizes suitable opportunities to canvass
orders. When he notices likely pur-
chaser OF wares from his factories at court
or other festive gatherings he asks him
whether he cannot place an order and
il the answer Is in the affirmative, the
emperor draws a pencil from his pocket
and scribbles the order on his cum. and

The figures were designed by the sculptor

committee OF artists has come to the con-
clusion that the work has been so badly
carried out that the work would be a dis
grace rather than an ornament to the
building. The president OF the chamber
considered that It would be an offenss
against good taste to erect the sculpture

HORRORS OF CONGO STATE

LONDON, March SO-(special 1.-THE
Congo Reform association has forwarded to
Sir Edward Gray, the secretary for
foreign AFFAIRS a remarkable description
Of the intolerable conditions, prevailing in
the Congo Free state written by Mr.. J. c.
McLaren of Perth from his own personal
observations
Mr. McLaren is a representative OF the
East Africa Trading company. He recently
arrived in England after long journey In
which he traversed the Congo Free state
from Dufle on the Nile to Bona on the
Atlantic.

Another abuse which weighs heavily
upon the people is the communicating Of

the crimes they had committed. He re-
piled that they were political and not

AUTOMATIC STOP FOR TRAINS
Simple safety Device which Sets the

On the subway in New York City, and
on the Boston elevated, operating prac-
tioaliy all the interurban service OF that
city, there Is now, and for some time has
been, IN use q simple mechanism, a me
ohanical trip, by means Of which, when an
engineer runs past a danger signal the
motive power y shut on and the brakes
are set mechanically. This is what Is
known as the Rinsman stop. It has been
highly successful and has permitted much
freer and closer running OF trains than
had heretofore been deemed possible. 1t
IL a practical and demonstrated success.
It's inventor has likewise developed an
electrical device OF the same nature and
this il now being tried BY one or more
steam roads. Il is extremely simple. II
consists merely Of an inner guard-rail
about 10 feet In length, forming part OF
an open circuit In connection with the
ordinary block signal. Projecting from
under the engine is a heavy steel arm
strong enough to resist all breakages and
fixed on q stiff. but sufficiently flexible

without danger. The arm sorapes along
the guard-ran as the engine passes over

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Chiefly Combination of Good Sense
and Good Nature.

A friend of yours and mine has
very justly defined good breeding to
be the result of much good sense,
good nature and a little self-denial for
the sake of others, and with a view
to obtain the same indulgence from
them Taking this for granted-as
| think 1t cannot be disputed = 1t Is
astonishing to me that anybody who
has good sense and good nature can
essentially fail in good breeding. AS
to the modes of 1t, indeed, they vary
according to persons, places and cir
cumstances and are only acquired by
observation and experience, but the
substance Of It is everywhere and
eternally the same. Good manners
are to part, lar societies what good
morals are to society in general
their cement and security. And as
laws are enacted to enforce good
morals or at least to prevent the i'll
effects of bad ones, SO there are cei-
tain rules Of ciyility, universally i'm
piled and received to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones. =
