The German Monarch to Decide On A.
Electric TramUay.
To act at one and the same time as
German emperor and king of Prussia
is no sinecure, says the Pail Mall Ga
1ette. In addition to the functions nat
urally pertaining to his exalted position
he has to solve terrifying number OF
questions that in other countries would
be reserved for the municipal autlhorl-
ties. Thus the question as to the sys-
TEN of electric tramways to be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabinet
for final decision. The plan OF the lines
has already been approved, but the sys-
TEN of conducting the current has not
been settled The emperor has there
fore to act, as it were, as imperial en-
gineer in deciding between overhead
wires and underground conductors or
accumulation cars.
AS soon as he has pronounced his hoe
volo, sic jubeo, Berlin will be provided
with the largest system of electrical
tramways on the continent. The Ber-
lin Tramway company has already COM
pleted its preparations, the lines are
laid and the ears are ready; only the
wires and poles for conducting the cur
rent have to be procured. Everything,
therefore. will be in full working order
by the summer. The emperor is GER
family taking plenty of time for his de-
cision, for the plans have been in his
civil cabinet since October, and are still
without bis signature.

CURlv-AEADED MEN AS JURORS.

Lawyers Dislike Them because They
Are Not Easily Convinced
1t is not generally known that there
is well-de1ined prejudice against
curly haired men when it comes TO
choosing jury to try criminal cases.
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The prejudice, when it is manifested.
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection to curly-haired
men, prominent practitioner said:
"Vhen 1 was just starting my legal
mentor inculcated that idea to me. He
said that curly-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered dar.ings
of their parents and in their youth had
been so used to having their own way
that they had come TO believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves. In this way the seeds of oppo-
sition were sown, and when they grow
older they make point to disagree with
every body aud everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as matter OF
course. They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long. a
curly haired man never gets on jury
when am defending man If can see

his memorandum of the interview of
September IA, 1859:

White HouNe Has None ter the First
Tine In Many Administrations.
There are no children In the white
house now, says a Washington letter
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t il the
first administration since that OF Blu
chanan where there have not been chill
dren in the presidents family. Lincoln
had three boys when he came to the
white house, and the Christmas festi-
val was celebrated with enthusiasm in
the good old-fashioned way with Z
Santa Claus. Grnnt had his three boys
and the pretty Nellie to make merry at
Christmas time. Hayes had complete
domestic household. with romping boys
and winsome little girl, who has
grown to womanhood and has recently
been spending her honeymoon at the
white house, where she was a child.
Garfield and Arthur had children to
celebrate Christmas, and Cleveland in
the last year of his first administra-
ton had baby girl to make Christmas
for. Harrison's children were grown
to manhood, but he had his grand
children with him in the white house,
and Baby Mckee became a more cele-
brated character in the child history of
the white house than any since Ted Lin
coin. In Cleveland's second administra-
ton there were two little girls to well
come Santa Claus. There are pictures
of two beautiful babies in Mrs. McKin-
ley's room and many fond remem-
brances of them. but they sleep in the
old graveyard at Canton, where they
were buried many years ago.
No president ever occupied the white
house who was fonder of children than
the present chief magistrate. No mis-
trrss. of the white house ever had more
loving care for the babies of others than
has Mrs. Mckinley. They both love the
prattle of children and gather the
little ones of their friends about them
