e THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1895-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, 21 HIS TRIP “ABROAD eee > Governor. Shepherd. Gives His Im- pression of the Old World. MUNICIPAL ADVANCEMENT IN EUROPE Glasgow, the Wonderful, and the Shipping on the Clyde. AN INTERESTING TALK eed ‘When Gov. Shepherd came down to break- fast at the Arlington this morning a keen observer of men and events tock in his erect and massive figure, his vigorous step and his clear, bright eyes, and remarked leck Shepherd has the physical as well as the mental attributes that fit a man to be Pres- ident of these United States. He shook hands steadily for over two hours last night, and the ordeal evidently did not phase him.” This was true in every sense of the word. ‘The evening at Willard’s Hall did not even give the governor a twinge to remind him that his old enemy, the rheumatism, was in the neighborhood, and he was not fatigued in the least when a Star reporter saw him at the Arlington this morning and chatted with him about his European experiences. “We spent a couple of weeks in London,” he said, “and about the sante time in Paris, and traveled pretty extensively throughout Great Britain and western Europe. I was particularly interested in Scotland. The cli- mate Is beastly, but I think the country Is the most beautiful in the world. Edinburgh is a quaint and impressive city. I was much interested in old St. Giles’ Church, that is such a perpetual monumest to the deter- mined character of the Scottish people. From the roof of St. Giles’ there hang the banners and flags carried by the famous Scottish regiments in numberless campaigns, and one may look up and almost read the history of centuries of undaunted courage and prowess in their folds. I like the Scotch people. They are brave, deter- mined, honest and trustworthy. The Wonderfal .City of Glasgow. “I think their city of Glascow is the finest city in the world. It impressed me more than any other I have seen. It Is not pretty, but it is full of life and business, and re- minded me more of a bustling American community than anything I visited in Eu- rope.. They have something like a million people in Glasgow, and their municipal gov- ernment is about as perfect as it is possible for such a thing to be. They have a city hall there that cost, I suppose, four or five million dollars. I visited the council cham- ber. It is about the size of our own Senate chamber. I went up into the gallery, and from there saw forty or fifty men, grave, dignified, and as representative in their ap- Pearance us any legislative body could be, discussing the affairs of the city. They were all elected on a general ticket and served without salary for the best interests of the city. The municipality of Glasgow owns all the city railroads, the gas works and other public works, and it also owns boats on the Clyde that ply back and forth and carry passengers to any points along the river front at a penny fare. The water supply is the finest in the world. The water is brought from Loch Katrine, eighty or @ hundred miles away, and there is a suff- cient head on in all parts of the city to put out any. fires that may occur. This supply is inexhaustible. “The fact continued Gov. Shepherd, “that Europe is far ahead of us in mu- nicipal advancement. The county of Lon- don gives another evidence of this devel- opment. They have taken in all the little boroughs and such things, and now the best men are chosen on a general ticket, who devote themselves to municipal legis- lation and regulations that seek the great- est good for the greatest number. The Shipping on the Clyde. “To me the most remarkable thing I saw in Europe ts the shipping industry of Glas- gow, on the Clyde. Originally the Eas-ern branch at Bladensburg presented better facilities for shipbuilding purposes than the river Clyde at Glasgow. Alexander Stevens, tne head of the great shipbuildin: firm of Alexander Stevens & Sons, ‘assured me that his father, when a boy, seventy- five years ago, used to wade across the Clyde there. When I saw the stream I could not believe that it was the one into which the greatest of ocean steamers, such as the Campania and Lucania, are con- stantly being launched. It is not more than five hundred feet wide, but those Scotch People, with daring enterprise and vigor- ous persistence, have dug that stream out until it now receives the greatest ships built. The river fs so narrow that a boat cannot be launched into it in the custom- ary way, but must be launched sideways. When I was there I saw an armored cruis- er of 8,000 tons Jaunched into the Clyde just as easily as a woman would put on her bonnet, and in a good deal less time than some women would take to perform that operation. Beautiful Berlin” a: Army. “Berlin I regard as the most beautiful city I saw in Europe. The development there has been great. The improvements are all of a good and lasting character, and there is nothing temporary in the public works or structures. “I was much impressed with the German army, and I tell you, if red-headed William ever lets his war dogs slip at the hosts of France there won't be anything left of the latter. The soldiers are strong, stalwart fellows. They reminded me of our -ves ern army of the boys that Sherman brought up the avenue at the end of the war. While I was there I saw four thousand of them coming along together from a drill. They were marching in loose order, at a rest step, and singing songs, and I tell you they were an imposing-lookmg set of men. Eighty per cent of the persons I saw work- ing in the fields in Germany, however, were women and children. They are doing the work and the men are garrying arms. Asphalt im a Sanitary Sen “To return a moment to municipal af- fairs,” said the governor, after a pause. “There was one thing that struck me in my travels in European -citiés, and that was that im the oldest parts of the towns six or seven or eight hundred years old are asphalt pavements. The Europeans pay great attention to laying such pavements. They belisve in a permanent and lasting foundation for them, and ccrsequently they put in a foundation three or four times as thick and as ex, jive as we do, appreci- ating that the durability of such a con- struction will be less expensive in the long run, because it will be possible to lay pave- ment after pavement on the top of these foundations without renewing the base up- on which they rest. They have found that the smo»th pavement ts a great alleviator of unsanitary evils in the old neighbor- hoods of which I spoke. They know that a stone pavement collects filth, which can- not be entirely rémoved, and is constantly spreading discase, and so they are adopt- ing the system that I have described. Holland and Its Canals. “Yes, I visited Holland, and was very much pleased with the people there. They are thrifty, industrious and conservative, but how they manage to live in such a country is more than I can conceive. I was only there a week, and yet got a touch of malaria. The canals, of course, inter- sect the whole country, and the visitor is told that they are flushed and the water changed every twenty-four hours. But I can confidently assert that I saw some of them that had not had the water changed in twenty-four years. They are spending an immense amount of mcney on the North sea in a system of docks and, locks, by which commerce is brought to Amsterdam twenty miles away. It is an interesting sight to see a big East India merchantman Iccked miles inland, so to speak, into the very heart of the city. All these works, like that of Glasgow and the others I have enumerated, are lessons of marvelous value to those who seek to discover what man can accomplish when he sets himself to thi the German an jnteresting city, an struck me as being better eats ' =| say 3 it I saw, Dresden js the eerie, here ezented, in * erfect sale it sea foo, were ohly about a dof: lar. Those low rates ‘do rot hold ‘good in Paris, however, where I visited the Grand Opera Hcuse, which is a truly magnificent building. I was somewhat disappointed in Paris. I suppose it is not the Paris of old. The municipal gcvernment is a very good one, but it is, I believe, virtually under the control of the general government, and this accounts for its excellence, I presume. I Was not particularly impressed with the French people. They are an emotional set, up and down as this craze or that one strikes them, like a barometer under the influence of the atmosphere. ‘There does not seem to be any stability to them.” On Cromwell's Slab. Returning to his impressions of things, Gov. Shepherd said the most beautiful sight he saw in Europe was the cathedral at Cologne. “It is simply superb,” he re- marked, “and, as my daughter Grace uptly said, it 1s ‘a peem in stone.’ St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey look Ike Methodist Meeting houses when compared to it.” The governor smiled when he mentioned West- minster Abbey. “I went to the abbey, of course,” he remarked, “and I walked around over the dust of kings and queens, and stared at the memorials of the great, who were so mostly by the luck of birth, when I happened to look down and I saw the name of Oliver Cromwell on the slab. I said I wanted to stand there, because a real man had once lain in that spot, entire- ly different from the kings and the rulers around, who had been puppets that merely moved as their strings were pulled. I tell you it felt good to stand there aboye the place whence Cromweli’s body had heen dragged to be behealed and covered with indignities, and to 1 how much more he had advanced the civilization of the world than the crowned things remembered so magnificently around bim. Waterloo and Napoleon. “I saw the magnificent tomb of another great roan, too, that of Napoleon, and I visited the battleficid of Waterloo. In my young days I was a great student of Napoleon's career, and that immortal bat- tle ground was of vast interest to me. As I stood there on the tnound and looked over the beautiful scene, I was not surprised that Napoleon had met such overwhelming defeat there, because { realized that it was on that fleld that he was first confronted by the Scotch and the Irish. Their regi- ments comprised the flower of the English army then, as they do today. There would Le nothing to the English army were it not for the Irish and the Scotch. The English soldier, the Tommy Atkins of tuday, is a mere figure, a fine machine, to be sure, but the Scotchmen and the Irishmen are the men that England would depend on now, as she always has, to do her fighting for her. Some Conditions in Europe. “If anything could have possibly made me a better American than I am,” said the governor, expressively, “it would have been that trip to Europe. The people over there have only one motive, and that is simply how to solve the problem of actual living. When I was zoing up the Rhine, I looked at some of those cld castles on the banks, hoary with the age of centuries, and built in the days of the feudal system, when the word of the barons was absolute law, ahd the people lived only to do thetr bidding. I thought how little changed the conditions were between now aad then in the same country. Today the Hohenzollerns have re- placed the barons, end the women still till the flelds and the men carry the guns. There is no virtual cifference at all. Ger- many, England and France are stretching out hungry hands for colonies to give thcir sluggish blood a chance to circulate. In themselves there is no further chance for development. Over there a servant is born @ servant, and never expects to be any- thing else. A carpenter is born and lives and dies in his shop, where generations of carpenters have preceded him, atid where generations of carpenters will follow. To an American all this seems monstrous, and he turns with relief to his own country, where every man may reach any eminence, no matter how great, to which he may be able to lift himself by his moral and phy- sical strength, providing he possesses the power and determination to exert it suc- cessfully. And so I say, if anything could have made me @ better American it was my trip abroad.” Good News From Batopilas. The Star representative turned the con- versation to affairs nearer to home at this juncture, and told the governor that some of his friends here were somewhat exer- cised over reports that a fiood had re- cently caused some injury at Batopilas, where his mines are stftuated. “Yes,” said the governor, “for thirty days before my return to New York I had received no telegraphic information from Mexico and naturally felt a little anxious. Upon our landing, however, I found that while the greatest freshet ever known in that country had visited Batopilas, the damage done was very slight. The water rose to a prodigious heigit. When I erect- ed the hospital at the hacienda I built it eighteen inches above the highest water mark ever known there, and still F am in- formed that water was a foot deep in the hospital. The bridge: I recently built and the aqueduct were, however, uninjured, and a few adobe structures that were un- dermined and knocked down were a good riddance and their destruction fs a good deal of a gratification to :ne. Of course from the situation of the hacienda and the narrewness of the arroya through which the river runs, the chief difficulty we have had to overcome down there has been the dangef from freshets and sudder rises of the water, but the recent flood proves that we have successfully accomplished this ob- ject and that no apprehension is to be felt from it in/the future. Remarkable Experience. “To give you an idea of what water can do when it exerts its tremendous power,” continued the governor, “I will tell you about a cloudburst that occurred down there shortly after I got there in 1881. I was out on the ditch one Fourth of July morning rushing a party of laborers in the work of cleaning it out. With a good sup- ply of mescale I was keeping them instruct- ed in the work and it was progressing fine- ly. Sixty feet above the ditch was the new roadbed, where I had intended to place a railrcad for the purpose of bringing the cre from the mines to the hacienda. I no- ticed above me a few small white clouds that seemed merely to fleck the blue sky and a few minutes later perceived that they were becoming heavier. In less time than I have taken to tell it those clouds came together and the result was a down- pour of water absolutely inconceivable to @ person who had not seen ft. For a mo- ment I was stunned, and in another I would heve been overwhelmed if a quick- witted Mexican mason and some of his assistants had not grabbed me and pulled me to the railroad bed above. Here I could see the full fury of the water. It had fallen in an instant almost, and the little river in the arroya, which was not more than forty or fifty feet wide ten minutes before, had become a lake. It would be difficult for you to believe it, but I do not exaggerate in the least when I tell you that I saw rocks weighing from fifteen to twenty-five tons rolled along by that wa- ter as a boy would roll marbles. Away up on the opposite side of the arroya there had been half a dozen houses occupied by Mexicans, in which were their wives, and these had been washed down into the sud- der:ly formed sea, and the women were struggling in the water, some of them being drowned. All these things took place in less time than I have taken to tell it. I had once read old Hugh Miller’s book on the mar- velous power that could be exerted by wa- ter, but I never expected to see such a tre- mendous illustration of it. When I reach- ed the hacienda, I found that the water had risen over the wall which I had. built to protect it at the back and that the lower part of the town was flooded six feet deep. Wher. I reached the hacienda, Mrs. Shep- herd came to me tearful, worried, and wanted to know what I was going to do. I said, ‘Well, dear, I am going to take a glass of wine.’ So I called for a bottle of champagne, and that allayed the anxiety of all hands. This recent freshet has, as I remarked before, tested the construc- tion of the aqueduct and bridge to the fullest degree possible, and naturally I feel much gratified over the result of it.” The American Hotel Abroad. ‘The Star man, as he was leaving the gov- ernor, inquired how he liked the European hotels and what the cost of living was abroad as compared with this country. “Some of the European hotels are very good,” said Gov. Shepherd, “but I must confess that the Victoria Hotel im London, to which I “was recommended and where ] stopped while in the metropolis at first, was @ great disappointment. The Victoria has probably gained its reputation of belng a first-class American hotel from the fact that it is the favorite stopping place fer, those travelers from the United States w! 2. belon; to the class ABY ag sud enly 04 money; those of people, you know, that sit around in the public parlors with low necks and short sleeves and make a holy show of themselves. There was a great cleal of show at the Victoria, and the most mis- erable service I ever saw. This, added to the careless cockney waiters and an alarm- ingly loud and very brassy band that playe@ constantly _ during luncheon and dinner, made my impression of the ‘American hotel abroad’ anything but exalted. The cost of living in Europe is not at all different from what it is on this side of the water. If you are traveling for comfort and patronize good hotels, that is, hotels that are good by comparison with the others, you will have to pay just the same as you do for first-class service in this country.” Gov. Shepherd said he expected to remain in this city for a week or ten days and then return to. New York, where he has a consid> erable amount of business to transact in connection with the mining properties in Mexico. He will, however, make frequent visits to Washington. The same stream of caliers upon him continued today, and he was kept busy receiving his old and new friends. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. Ground will, it is said, be broken in a few Gays for the erection of a hotel and several stores on the vacant lot corner of Harrison and Fillmore streets. The contract has been awarded to Mr. Mason Harper. The residence of Mr. Wiliam H. Peck, on Maple avenue, narrowly escaped destruc- tion by fire a night or two ago. Both Mr, and Mrs. Peck were absent from home at the time, and their daughter, Miss Mildred Peck, who has just recovered from a severe attack of flness, was alone. About 10 o'clock Miss Peck retired. She neglected, however, to turn off the lighted gas, which was immediately over her bed, before going to sleep, and by some mecns a wire which connected with the gong at the front door got crossed with the burning gas. The wire was burned through in a little while, and one end fell on the bed and set fire to the clothing. Miss Peck, who was awakened by the flames approaching her, sprang from the bed, ran to the front window, which she raised, and screamed loudly for help. Mr. Vernon Etzler, who was passing, rushed into the house and threw the burn- ing clothes from the window. Miss Peck was completely prostrated from the excite- ment. A movement has been started to secure a pardon for William G. Taliafero of Hillsdale, who a few days ago was convicted of the second offense for selling liquor without a license and was sentenced by Judge Miller to imprisonment for six months. Mr. Horan Crozier of Suitland, Md., was in town yesterday. Mr. Crozier was last Tues- day elected one of the county commissioners oe George's county on the republican ticket. Quite a good number of residents of Ana- costia went to Broad Creek P. E. Church, Md., Wednesday night to attend an ovster suprer, given there for the benefit of the church, which is in need of repairs. Includ- ed in the party were Messrs. H. F. Sander- son, W. E. Jordan, Thomas Sanderson, Mr. and Mrs. Prero, Miss Prero, Mrs. Emma Robey, Miss L. Spicer and Miss Belle Gray. A well-known Anacostian has completed the payment of a novel bet lost by him on the recent election in Maryland. The party, who is an ardent democrat, could not be in- duced before the election took place to he- lieve that the republicans could by any pessible chance carry the state. He agreed with a republican, who is employed in the same house, in ‘case Mr. Gorman was beaten to wear an old, greasy straw hat, with a feather in the top, for three days after the result should have become known, and to raise his hat to his repub- lican opponent every time the latter should pass him during that’ period. Of course, the republican agreed to ebey the same conditions provided the democrats were successful. When the returns were pub- lished Wednesday the democrat bravely put on the hat, which he has worn con- stantly since. 2 A reception was given last night by Miss Millie Peck to a fewof her most intimate friends. Among those present were Mrs. Connor, the Misses Margaret and Jane Connor, Miss Golden, Miss Hollister, Miss Sanford, Messrs. Archibald, Sargent, Mc- Chesney, Connor, Dr. A. M. Green and Prof. Karr.

Monday the public school will probably take possession of the room in the town hall which has been put in order for its oc- cupation.

P. Bailey, as was expected. At the recent meeting of the Ladies’ Ald Soctety of the M. E, Church the members and their friends were entertained by an en- Fie ‘able am.

Johnston, who has been visiting in Philadelphia for the past ten days, is ex- pected home today. During Mrs. Johnston's absence from Brookland she has visited points in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Brookland Guild will entertain its friends in the town hall the middle of this month. ‘The Methodists, who had anticipated hav- ing Martha Washington tea this month, have decided to postpone it until after New Year. ‘The ground has been broken at Stott’s sta- tion for the new school building, which is to take the place of the Soldiers’ Home school. This location will be more central for the pupils who attend the present school. Besides this, it will be near enough for the crildren of the subdivisions south of Tako- ma to attend school. Of course, the new building will not be ready to occupy until text fall, so, until that time, the teachers and pupils will have to put up with the in- conveniences at the Soldiers’ Home school. ——_—_ HERNDON.
