THE RESIDENCES OF ROYALTY They May Be Inspected When the Family is Not at Home. THE IMPERIAL GUARD Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. POTSDAM, Octoher 21, 1895. It is the Berlin express from Magdeburg and still further west. Swiftly on its glit- tering track it has sped through the dis- Piriting suburbs of the old cathedral town until, the open country reached, the scene grows more exhilarating. Town after town, each with a name suggestive of a fine brand of kase, of wurst, or mayhap of beer laden tankard, is passed with a rattling swish. The pink-and-white lieutenant in the cor- duroy seat (for it is a second-class com- partment, a fact the corduroy upholster- ing denotes) flips from off the lapel of the fire gray overcoat a tiny cinder speck. It is a great strain for him to lean over his high, red cloth collar and aim at the spot where the cinder is. He must have felt it drop there. he first stop of this lghtning express will be at Potsdam, my alighting place. The squeak, squeak of the locomotive whistle. Housetops, turrets and church spires!

I must get a “Dientsmann” to take my “Gepack'’—a porter to take my luggage. Potsdam! what a name for a place of imperial residence. There are over sixty thousand human beings here, including about ten thousand soldiers and the royal family when they are at home. The empress is here now; and for that reason I am not permitted to pass the guards of the palace, which was built in 1763, has no open plumbing, and has as its only means of illumination candles and oil lamps. A guide took me through several other Potsdam royal pal- aces (there are five of them here) where there were no modern conveniences either; but the folks were out, for even royalty can’t live in five palaces all at once, and £0 they let us go through the rooms. Most of the furniture consists of samples from stone and marble quarries in other countries. Every rocm has at least one vase or malachite table, weigh- ing about a ton, which the guides inform visitors was a present from king so and so or the emperor this and that. There isn't a pint of running water in all the rooms of the four palaces I irspected. The furniture may have been very good in its time, but is very much cut of style today. The only things that impressed me were a 4ew tortoise shell bed room sets and writ- » of the Schlossgarde-Ki be it was the Eskadron ‘des Regiments der Garde du Corps. Very likely it was all three.

Here at Potsdam is a colony planted by Frederick the Great, which is full of in- terest and Russians.

West of the town, on the right bank of the deep sea (der tiefe See, as an offshoot of the river Havel 1s called cn the local maps) is the Babelsberg Park, and at the north end of this is another castle, also the abode of royalty. It is a fine affair, and as is customary, visitors are permitted to skate through some of the rooms.when the royal family is away. It is 25 pfenning a shot at each palace or castle, and you are expected to drop a tip as you go along. There are a good many articles of vertu to ke seen here, but thoy don’t come up to the collection of bric-a-brac that Frederick the Great strewed around Sans-souci.

I was sketching on grounds here when an officer of the househsid approach- ed me. I thought perhaps he was a con- noisseur, and as such I welcomed his pres- ence. “Dus*ist nicht hier erlaubt,” he remark- ed as affably as his voice would permit. “No, it isn't so bad, is it?” I replied, in an off-hand, Yankee way—something like my sketch, which consisted of a few out- Ines of a group of peasants who were standing opposite the hank where I had established temporary headquarters.

A REMARKABLE SYMPOSIUM ‘The Ananias Club held its regular weekly meeting last right. It was called to order by the president, who called upon Tom Western for the opening chapter of exp riences for the evening. “With all due apologies to the memebrs he said, “I have utterly fail- ed to think of any story that would an- swer the purpose. I will therefore relate a true experience of mine in the Yellowstone National Park, hoping that its being a fact will not debar me from future participation in the proceedings of this honorable body. It was on the occasion of my first visit to the Yellowstone Park, and I was wholly unfamiliar with the nabits and customs cf geysers. The guide told me that a certain hole in the ground was a geyser, and I look- ed down the hole to see it operate. I did not have long to wait, for the next scene was due at that moment, and the water came promptly on time. Before I could get away I was whirled into the air. At first I expected to fall to the ground and be drowned in the stream of water, but I soon saw that so long as it was coming up I was safe. for the force was sufficient to hold me up. I whirled around on top of the column of water for what seemed to me about an hour, but not expecting to live to tell about it, I neglected to time it by my watch. I was seventy or eighty feet in the air, and the sensition of resting gently upon the top of the water, while the grand panorama of nature ed around me in circular term, was so agreeable that I felt comfort able, except for the reflection that the geyser would soon get tired of the exere! and go back in its hole, and when the pres- sure from below was removed I would fall to the hard lava and be crushed. Soon I felt that the water was subsiding, and I would have given ninety-nine thousand dol- lars for a hundred thousand-dollar insur- ance policy upon my life for fifteen min- utes, but slowly the water went lower and lower, until finally it went into the hole with a farewell gurgle, leaving me on the sround across the orifice, without a bruise. Gentlemen, I have tried almost everything that moves, and the most pleasant thing in the world to ride on is a geyser. Story of the Hawk. Sam Wallingford, who was next in turn, heaved a sigh sal Mr. President, as uctual experiences are allowable, I will not tell what I intended, as I could not vouch tor its veracity, but will pay my respect: to the dearest pet I ever owned—a hawk, now dead and stuffed. Hawks are not usual- ly supposed to be blessed with great intelli- ence, nor do natural historians speak of them as b2ing very friendly to mankind, but I arise to defend the noble bird by a Jain and truthful account of what one did or me. As you all know, 1 used to be a ailor, and one day I picked up a hawk that some sportsman had crippled. I nursed st back to health, and the bird was as grateful as any living thing could be. We had a rough passage when nearing the Sandwich Islands, and some of the sailors attributed it to the hawk, so to make a long story short, the hawk and I were cast adrift. We landed upon a 1 uninhabit- ed island. My food was exhausted, and chere wete no berries, nuts, or other. eat- ables where we were. But there was a >tream of fresh water, and in it I could see ish. I tried for two days to catch them with my hands, but that was impossible, and I Jay on the bank, to starve to death. The morning of the third day F saw the huwk catch a Calling the bird to me, f took the fish and di 1 it. In an hour the hawk brought me another. I started a ire by rubbing two pieces of wood together, and lived sumptuou: for two weeks, whet i ship hove to, coming to the is wute the stream from whic ame seemed to be well known, taken aboard. They refused to ve the hawk, and the most thing I ever did was to de: Fut it followed me and roosted on top of the mast, seeming to know that it was not allowed to visit me. When we landed at Francisco, the hawk flew upon m: vulder, and taking it with me to a r taurant, we had the best meal that a man and bird ever enjoyed. It died soon after- Ward and I had it stuffed.” A Wonderful Broncho Tale. “Well,” said Charlie Tunis. ‘as this seems to be a truth and meeting instead of a session of the Ananias Club. I will relate a story showing that not only does a horse po: intelligence, but pro- phetic vision. I was out west riding across the plains of Dakota with a party of friends, before that section was inhabited by anyone except Indians, scouts and sol- ders. I rode the best pony I ever saw. He would go in a gallop all day and never tire, and the only places he would stop would be a grog shop, of which there were a few in the western wiids. He was especially valuable because he knew the location ot every such place within five hundred miles. I never knew him to balk or busk or display. any of the idiosyncrasies that render bron- chos unpopular. One day we were riding across the plain, when my pony stopped My companions rode on, supposing I would catch them, but my broncho would not stir a foot. I spurred him and beat him, but he would not~ budge. Finally he turned around, in spite of all I could do, and started a run for the nearest tavern, ten iniles away. I let him rest awhile, and mounted again, but he weuld not leave the bern yard. Early the next morning a pony that one of my companions had rode, gal- Joped into the yard, and I knew something was wrong. The landlord and I went for- ward, my broncho behaving well, and ten miles beyond where he had stopped the day before we found the scalped bodies of my four friends. Now, the pony had not smell- ed those Indians ten miles, he simply had a gift of prophecy and was seasible enough to exercise it. Had the other ponies been sed of his genius in that line my is would not have been massacred.” The Horse and the Grizzly. “I believe your story about the horse,” said Arthur Williamson. “A horse once saved my life in the west, but in a different way. I was out hunting and became separated from my friends, when suddenly my blood turned cold as I saw a iarge grizzly bear standing on a rock not over fifty yards from where I was. I raised my rifle and fired, the shot only serving to make him aware of my presence and anger him at the flesh wound my bullet inflicted. He turned and came at me with a rush. Just as he raised himself by the side of my horse, which was too frightened to move, I jumped down to the ground with the horse between me and the bear. Old Ephraim with one blow knocked the horse down and seized him. The poor animal in the agony of his death throes in some way got his front hoof into the bear’s mouth. A shoe was loose on that foot, and the iron shoe fastened itself in bruin’s throat in such a way that he could not get the leg of the horse out of his mouth. It had gone clear down into his stomach and the animal had twisted his foot, the iron shoe catching in the membrane, so that to remove it would necessitate turning the bear inside out. I saw in a moment that while I had lost a horse I had gained a bear, and it was not long before he ceased to struggle. Then with my knife I removed the horse's foot, having to entirely open the bear to ac- complish it.” This One Broke Up the Meeting. “As adventures of a truthful nature seem to be in order,” sdid Frank Trumbull, “I will relate one of mine. It is not so heroic as those that have already been told, as I never hunted or went to sea, but it was thrilling to me at the time. I am the humble individual who first thought of the air pump to create a vacuum. I did not construct an air ship, but a flying appar- atus. I had tested it thoroughly, as I sup- posed, and one night, with a few friends, succeeded in smuggling it to the top of the Auditorium building in Chicago. Then I jow me to hameful ert that bird, energies to the building up of the nation. jumped. I sank ddr a few feet, and tried to make the wings!operate, it being my in- tention to fly over the city out to Evan- ston, but the air pump was the only thing that worked. It operated like a charm, creating such a vacuum that I could neither rise or fall, go forward, backward or side- ways. Gentlemen, the utter hopelessness of my position was appalling, doomed, as it seemed, to remain suspended over the street, too high fer even an extension lad- der to reach. I vowed that if I ever got away from the little vacuum I had created, and which it seemed I was to occupy for what time rematned to me to live, I would never make another invention. My friends on the roof could see that something was wrong, and one ef'them happened to be an expert thrower. He went to the street and obtained a rope,|f{6 one end of which he tied a piece of lead. Then he returned to the roof and threw it to me. I tied it around myself and was hauled back to the building in safety, but I never experiment- ed any more with.my machine.” —. IS PARIS IN DECLINE? A Traveler Thinks Its Glories Are Merging in the Greater France. Frem the Chicago Times-Herald. “Paris is no longer Paris to France,” said J. W. Chalmers. “You would not believe it until you could witness with your own eyes the changes that haye taken place. The true Parisian is so jealous of his city and its fame that he will not let any more of this truth leak out than he can help, but Paris is on the wane. The French peuple no longer consider that Paris is France. The national spirit has grown, spread out, 80 permeated every district that in place of Paris has arisen the greater France. I was in Paris three years ago. And this time, in comparing, I noticed with surprise the decay of the city, how much it was being neglect- ed by the authorities, the dying of the trees, the disorder of the great boulevards, the general shiftlessness present everywhere. “Much of this decay unquestionably due to the difference between a republic and a monarchy. Tne old monarchy spent mon. lavishly on Paris. It was the gilded cage for the court. When Paris laughed, all France laughed, and when Paris wept, the nation bowed its head. You know how Vic- tor Hugo makes this plain in ’93. “The republic, with different purpose from that of the old government, has bent its It has mapped out a policy for the internal strengthen:ng of the state in which Paris plays only a small part. It has a colonial policy of which the average Parisian knows little and cares less. H has diverted the revenues of the state from the maintenance ot palaces, the building up of pleasure gar- dens, the decorating of statues, to enlarging the army, increasing the navy, building highways all over the cguntry and encourag- ng the industrial arts. Before such a prac- tical course as this Paris has had to bow its bead and see much of its prestige with the people of France themselves depart. “The change has been so rap'd that I was forced to comment upon it. Three years ago I would not have believed it possible. You feel it in traveling through France outside of Paris. Other great cities are rising there unhampered by the natural selfishness of Paris, They have interests intertwined with those of the government. They are develop- ing with the nation into that new France which is certainly a prodigy. So marked in France is this fact of the decline of Paris that, although the exposition of 1900 is to be held in that city, yet there are two other cities of the nation arranging to have great expositions in the same year and entirely ndependent of the one at Paris. They are setting up these two expositions without even reflecting upon'the fact that Paris is to have one also. “They think theirs will be fully equal to the one at Paris, and they are not in the least interested in the one to be held there.i t “Isn't that strange? No nation in Europe presents that spectacle—its principal city, once the heart of the nation, receding to a secondary position, while above it, above the mories of the commune, of the first em- of the Napoleons, of the Girondists, he magnificent form of the nation, and that a republic. I was touched to a degree I can hardly explain by the extraordinary nature of the phenomenon.” oes HE WAS TOO SMART, Spurred on by Love the Young Lawyer Won the Case. From the New York Journal. Over in Philadelphia dwelt a young la student who fell in love just as he was about to be admitted to practice. The girl's father also belonged to the profession and Was reckoned pretty smart, as Philadelphia lawyers so. The old fellow gave a partial consent to the young man’s pleadings, but ‘oncluded he would try the student and see if he was worthy to be his son-in-law. ‘Oo he said: “The case of Blank against Blank has been on the calendar several years. It has been tried, appealed, decision eversed, tried again and comes up again for reument at the next general term. I am counsel for the plaintiff. I have had the case four ars, but now I turn it over to you. Here are the papers; see what you can do, The young man took the papers and went to work with a viin born of love—for if he won the case would he not also win a bride? At last life seemed to him worth living. He studied the case thoroughly. He consulted the authorities and was loaded and primed for a brilliant argument when the court convened. He made his plea and won the case without any trouble. With a heart overflowing with joy, he re- turned to his prospective father-in-law, and, slapping down the papers, he exclaimed: “See here, sir; the case is won! These are the proofs. What you tried for years to do I have accomplished in a single term of court. Now, may I have your daughter?” The old fellow looked up with a smile on his face as he replied: “I think you a fool and you can’t have my daughter. But I will just give you a little gratuitous ad- Vice. It is true I had the case four years without winning it, and it is also true that I made thousands of dollars out of it. But you have gone and settled it, and what have you made? About $50. No, sir, you can’t have my daughter! ——— A CAMERA MAY LIE. Some Cur is Effects Produced by Flaw in the Plate. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Photographers, especially amateur pho- tographers, will tell you that the camera cannot lie. This only proves that photog- raphers, especially amateur photographers, can; for the dry plate can fib as badly as the canvas on occasion, and is actually more pernicious because of its undeserved reputation of veracity. Who would believe a ghost story on the uncorroborated evi- dence of a painter's picture? Yet a photo- EVEN graph of a house at Halesowen, taken a few days ago, included the likeness of the Wealthy lady who vacated it six months back. As she vacated it for the church- yard, the plate appropriately enough ex- hibited her dressed in a shroud; and so con- ‘:ncing was this very counterfeit present- ment that a regular ghost scare broke out, and several women averred that they could see the dead lady at the window. On Satur- day it was discovered that it was all due to scme flaw in the photographic apparatus, just as in a very similar case at Ipswich some time ago. There the view represented @ back water off the river Gipping, and in the water there was clearly outlined a drowned female! tigure—waist, bust, fea- tures, hair and all. They actually dragged the river to see what they could find, and found nothing. Quricusly enough, a woman was really drowned at the very spot a few weeks later; so that: Ipswich photography seems to be as previous as Halesowen is retrospective. > +0 —___ Maine’s Spry Young Women.
