wMA ONDAY morning was warm and
" clear, and as we still had about
10y half a day left to spend in
Brussels, we wandered about
the city visiting nearly all the
public buildings. While most
European cities have their
streets paved with asphalt, Brussels is
paved with Belgian blocks, which make
on extremely rough pavement.
Wooden Wheel Street Cars.
To ride in some of the street cars in
this city is equivalent to taking osteo-
pathic treatment. OF course they have
cars that are similar to our own and
ride just as smoothly, but they also
have a species of horse driven car that
instead of running on tracks goes
humping over the stones. These cars
which are open, are capable of carry
ing about thirty-ffve people. The floor
ing, to which the seats are fastened,
is put on two saXleS, without any
springs between. On the aXles are
wooden wheels, about two feet in dia-
meter, having wooden spokes and steel
rims. A team of horses serves as the
motive power and the whole contrap
ton goes humping along the street;
first you are falling forward, then a
sudden jerk throws you backwards,
then you bump into your left hand

cause the car to sway in the opposite

werth. Roland, however, had not died
but returned, only to find his bride be-
yond his reach. He then built the cas-
tie of which the arch is the only re-
mains and spent the rest of his life
watching the Convent in the hope that
he might get one glipmse of her as
she was passing to the chapel. One
day, he heard the Convent bell ring
ing, and word was brought to him that
Hildegrunde was dead. From then on
he refused all food and one morning
his attendant found him dead with his
face still turned toward the Convent.
The next ruined castle we pass is the
castle of Rheineck, an old square
tower being the only remains of this
once strong castle.
Vineyards of the Rhine.
The vineyards along the Rhine are
most interesting, not only from gar
dening but also from an engineering
point of view. The sides of the noun
tainS bordering the river are so steep
that if left to themselves the storms
would remove all the soil from their
prevent this, the owners have built
terraces of rock, one above the other,
right up to the top of the mountain.
These terraces hold the soil and thus
give a place in which the grapevines
take root. There is a difference of
about eight feet between each sue
ceeding row of terraces.
The steamer now rounds a bend in
the river and in front of us we see
the city of Coblentz, on the right and
on the left, the towering fortress of
Ehrenbreitstein Coblentz is located at
the junction of the rivers Rhine and

you try to knock the side posts off the
car All these motions are accompan-
led by series of bumps and jolts
which are excellent for the treatment
of indigestion.
Castles Used For Factories.
Our walk soon brought us to the rail
road station where we boarded the
train that was to take us to Cologne
At about half past one our train started
the open country surrounding Brus-
sells. Numerous small towns were
passed all immaculate in their white
washed walls. These small country
towns soon changed to large indus
trial towns, over which hung great
masses of black smoke, reminding one
of Pittsburg. On the hills back of
these towns, old ruined castles could
be seen. When about sixty miles from
Brussels, the old castle of Trooz is
passed which is now used as a factory
for boring guns. Quite few of these
old castles are used for similar pur-
poses.
Arriving At Cologne.
AT last the train stops at Dolhain,
the last station in Belgium where
after a half hours conversation, on the
part of the train crewS,We start again
and about four miles further on stop
at HerbSthal where we undergo the
German customs examination. The eX-

short wait we were soon on our way

Tropical Fever Has Unnamed
the Steamer Harley.
NINE MEN IN HOSPITAL
Six Are III Aboard the Vessel, and
Four Have Been Given Permission
to Return Home-Disease is Malig-
nant Form OF Malaria.

-Four sailors of the crew of the
British steamer Harley, which ar
rived at this port last Saturday from
Brazil via st. Thomas and ST. Lucia
with her entire crew i'll with Tropical
fever. we've discharged yesterday by
Captain Long and allowed to return
to their homes in England. The men
have been SEX with the fever and
physicians advised that they seek a
colder climate in order to recover
their health.
Nine members of the Harley's crew
are now in the st. Francis hospital
and seven others are i'll aboard the
vessel. The men in the hospital have
been IN a critical condition, but they
are said to be improving slightly. It
is possible that one or two OF the
men may die, while all of them prob
ably never will regain their former
good health and strength. DIT. s. w.
Hobson is attending the men at st.
Francis.
DIR. w. f. Greasy, the State quar-
antine officer, is administering TO the
sick men aboard the ship. These men
are having chills and are in a weak
ened condition as the result of the
attacks Of the dreaded Tropical fever,
which is known as Shagger's fever
and also as perniciOus malaria.
The Harley arrived at Old Point
last week and was placed in quaran-
tine by the federal officer there. La
ter the ship came on to this port, and
DR.. Greasy had the men who were
desperately ill removed to the hos
pital.
When the Harley steams for this
port some two weeks hence for Ma
nilla, p l., with a cargo of coal, she
will carry practically new crew.
Four men were discharged yester-
day; the nine in the hospital will have
TO be discharged and probably the SIX
that are now sick on board the ship
will be unable to leave here with the
vessel. These nineteen men were
aboard the Harley at Brazil, but the
others were signed up at st. Thomas
and ST. Lucia. The men taken on
at ST. Lucia also had the Tropical
fever in a mild form.
DR.. Greasy says that while 1t is
not contagious or infectious, the
Tropical fever is a very dangerous
disease. 1t plays havoc with the con-
stitution of the stricken person and
those who recover from it are lett IN
a weakened condition, while some are
forever physical wrecks.

USES SHOVEL ON
NEGRO SWEEPER'S HEAD
William Ledwitch Charged With
Feioniously AssauIting John
Jefferson, City Employe.

John jefferson, negro street
sweeper employed by the city, was at
tackled and badly injured by William
Ledwitch, of 236 Thirty-ninth street,
about 1880 o'clock yesterday morn
ing at Huntington avenue and Thir-
ty-ninth street. Ledwitch hit the
negro over the head with a shovel,
which the sweeper had been using
on the streets, and inflicted a scalp
wound about seven inches in length.
Ledwitch was arrested by Patrol
man Shelton few seconds after the
fight and both the prisoner and the
injured man were taken to the police
station. jefferson to be given medical
treatment by DR.. ]. w. Ayler, surgeon
to the police, and the white man to be
locked up on the charge of felonious
assault.
According to the statements made
by the men at the station house,
Ledwitch objected to the negro put
ting the dirt swept from the streets on
the vacant lot at Huntington avenue
and Thirty-ninth street. Hot words
ensued and Ledwitch grabbed the
shovel from the negro's hand and
swattec\ him over the head with it.
Ledwitch claims the negro brandish-
ed the shovel at him and that action
provoked him to use the thing as
weapon.
While weak from the loss of much
blood, Jefferson WAS not seriously
injured He was sent to his home and
it probably will be several days be-
fore he can appear in court for the
trial.

If there is none there should be a
law in this city providing a speed
limit for the running Of automobiles:
If there is such law it ought to be
enforced. Some autoists are thought
full and considerate Of the right of
others; other autoists think all thew
have to do is to toot their horn and
1t becomes the duty of every man, per.
son and thing to fly out of their way.
The streets and the rights of way are
not the exclusive property of autoists.
Nobody is under any obligation to
hurry out of their way. The law does
not make it the duty of pedestrians to
get out of their way; it makes 1t the
duty of autoists to so reg
ulate their machines and their
running rs not to run over.
MAIN or cripple any individual or to
run into another's vehicle. It ought
to be the law that an autoist should
stop to stand still when he sees that
an approaching horse is frightened,
and wait for the driver to quiet his
horse, or to get out and hold him
Especially should this be the law if q
lady is driving the horse. This law
ought not indeed to be necessary: gal
lantry should suggest the courtesy and
precaution; but as some autoists lack
that gallantry, the law should compel
them to observe a proper regard for
the rights of others.
