A STORY FROM MUNICH.

He~ Municipal O~nership Works In
That Fine Old German City.
To the Editor:
Noticing your Interest m az
matters pertaining L. municipal "wu.
ershIp. | trust that il will extend t.
the following statement 81 an actual
occurrence Of some three or f1ur years
ago ON the municipal tramwJy 81 Mu-
mich. Germany.
A grand fair WIS being held rear the
statue O.. Bavaria. which Is In one 81
the Suh,IriS uf Munich. This district
Is reached 10y municipal ear line
which passes Through a tiickly settled
residential district the many inhah-
itants II which are dependent on the
ear line for their daily transportation
TO the crntprs Of business and indus
try and the factories in which they
work. When the populace AMI country
people from surrounding towns swarm
ell out to the fair they bearded the
cars In great numbers.
Bit there is an ordinance strictly
limiting the number of persons who
shall ride on car AT one time TO the
seating capacity and possibly few
others. say the standing capacity OF
the rear platform. This ordinance the
populacp entirely diSrcgardcl In their
great anxiety To get to and especially
from the fair in the evening.
As Il popular punishment for this
unhcard of diSreSpect for the police
ordinances the authorities without fur
ther ado took all the cars off the line
and proposed Ia keep them of for
some weeks. Popular Indignation,
however. WAS so great that the ears
were restored to service on the line
after only three days suspension. This
was done by calling to the attention OF
the bureaucratic minds of the munich
pal authorities the fact that in seeking
to punish the patrons Of the fair they
were incidentally deprving all the in
habitants of large district OF the
city Of any transportation means OF
reaching their daily work.
While this may he an acute exam
pie OF the overhearing attitude or Ger
man officials. still | can testify from
personal experience as n traveller and
student In Germany that it is but H.
Illustrative of their general attitude to
ward the public | presume that this
attitude must come from the extent
to which government enterprise enters
into all branches of service in Ger
many. although apparently not with
the overwhelming success with whicL
some credit It. For instance. the aver
age cost of n ton mile of freight on the
government railways of Prussia was
1878 cents as compared with .725 cents
in the same year for the railways OF
the United States.

A NORTH CAROLINA CONTRAST

Largest Cities.
The largest cities Of North Carolina
are Wilmington and Charlotte. They
are about the same size, but present II
sharp contrast in their water supply.
Wilmington is served hy Il private

dollar in bonds has been issued by the
city for its copious supply of pure soft
water
Charlotte bought ont its water com
pany seven years ago and built new
plant at considerable expense. 1t has.
however. been forced to return to tie
old pumping station and source Of sup
ply, as the water from the new plant
has been declared unfit for domestic
use. Incidentally water bonds to the
amount of 5000 600 have been issued.
The Charlotte citizen pays higher

A FEW MAXlMS.
Some Familiar but Valuable Truths
Dressed Up In New Raiment.

Experience is said to be the only eff

There is an added excitement in skat-

unhealed where another boy disap-
peared.
Newspapers and the police cannot
keep people out Of policy shops. and
the dealers in green goods still find Gus
toners after these many years. We

paper our walls with mining stock GER

The less we know about the game the
surer we are OF winning.

singing folds. We are still a young

be so ready to pay scalpers' prices for
