Morse Dry Goods Co.| Morse Dry Goods Co, Mr. Ernest Benninghoven's Desoription of His Vacation Experiences in Germany, BERLIN RIVALS PARIS FOR PLEASURE How an American Received Prince Bismarck at Kissenger and Gave the Germans a Lesson in Enthusiasm, Mr. Ernest Benninghoven, representing the German life insurance company, has just returned four the old country where he spenta fond months vacation. In a conver- sation with a representative of T Bee Mr. Benninghoven gave a very interesting ac- count of the principal featuras of his sweep continental, Asked as to how the result of the United Btates election was received in the fatherland Mr. Benninghoven replie ‘“T'he people of Germany are taking a great deal of interest justnow in two American bills, the McKiuley bill and Buffalo Bill, the latter being thoughtthe bestof the two. But tis money out of their pocket to take any lactive interest in either of the Bills, “Referring to the trip itself, I must relate that I reached New York, bound for Ham- burg, on July 1, calling with a letter of intro- gm'lmn from an Omaha friena on Mr. Carl churz, the eeneral divector of the Hamburg steamship line, whoso office is located on Broadway. Mr. Sciurz was found behind a desk stacked with letters, opparently very busy. Notwithstanding this, he discarded business for half an_hour to prove a_most amiable talker, manifesting very much in- terest when we came to speak about Mexico and the Sandwich islands, which countries I had lately visited. On July 31 boarded the fiornmmln, a new twin screw steamer of the amburg line, i feet long and sixty wide, with all'modern convenicnces, *“While looking over the list of our fellow- cabin passengers 1 noticed the n Chauncey M. Depew, who made a ve after dinner Fourth of July oration and s conquered the hearts of ihe passengers by his courteous manners. We also hud some of the promiuent members of the Salvation apmy s, Booth, jr., and General Field Marshal Tucker of India. The com- mander of the ship allowed them to hold several meotings and make speeches at which Mr. Tucker always appeared in true Hindoo costume, These representatives of the Sal- vation army behaved themselves in o very creditable manner, so that Mr. Depew took occasion to' ask for the ad- dress of their headguarters in Londan. A prominent preacher of Boston, a delegate the peace congress, declared in a speech that ho, till of late, had thought themto beripe for the lunatic asylum, but was convinced after careful study that ' they were great benefuctors to a class which could not be reached by the church and bound to play a very inportant part in solving the social problein. Be that as it may, they at least took very good care of our souls, which were out of reach of any church for the Ume being. On July 11 we landed at Cuxhayen on the Elbe, where a special train stood in waiti to take us to Hamburg in two hour found the German passenger cars jus a8 shuky as the ship but not near as comfort- ablein many respects. In this country you travel slower in comparison to Europe, but with much more ease. At the custom bpuse in " Hamburg wo had o excer ¢fse very much patience, especially a fellow passenger who had waited an hour for the inspector, who finally levied a duty of 16 pennies (4c) tpon his clgars. The American soon finds that it is all red tapo and clock work, when he comes in contact with German officiuls, But it is a great rmmku to expect that a traveler is molested n any way by the police of Germany.

Bad light, bad air prevailed and the abzence of water rendered soap, fowels or mirrors uscless, of which even the railroad company seemed to have been con- vinced, because there were none of these 4 things. When driving from the depot into the city 1was at once struck with the solidity nd elegance of all the buildings lining the treets, while these were cleanliless ifself, although or because it had been raining for weeks in succession and was still at it. As the parks havo a dreary appearance in such weather, even in_midsimmer, I concluded to wvisit the royal museums, art galler ete., ‘which are the grandest I ever saw. “Berlin is certainly the cleanestand one of the most beautiful cities in the world today. The surrounding country is _magnificent, especially Charlottenburg and Potsdam. In every park, inevery public garden you may listen 10 the finest music rendered “by mili- tary and private bands, of which there are very many in the capital of the empire. The cople of Berlin are growing to be pleasure- oving as the Parisians and have already overtaken them in knowing how to enjoy life on an economical basis.

There are few couutries on this globe ‘where dlseuses are so widespread s in Ger- many, which find their origin_in over-eating and drinking. Anybody who knows how to study faces will see at first glance that the mind of the European is never so active and his future therefore not so_attractive as that of the American. This s especially true of theladies, who by the way—are noted for displaying so much absence of ‘“chic” and taste in regard to dress.

Avriving on the small plateau of this renowned rock we sit down toa table and enjoy ice cream, wine, music, songs and a su- perb view over the Rhine valley all at the same time. Near us toa great height towers the ruin of an old burg at the base of which a dragon was said to have had his lodging in olden times. It is also suid that he devoured many a bold knight. Descending over excel- lent road we stop half way down the hill, at the “‘Drachenburg,” a new but empty castle, belonging to a bachelor who does not seem to know how to enjoy his possessions. “The weather being fine we imagine that a trip up the thine during the balmy afternoon and the mooulight in the evening would be highly appreciated and so weboard one of the elegant passenger boats, reaching Koblenz least thirty towns of the Rhine valley, which sermnls out like a_fan beyoud the Bingen.

The Indians and all other people were bound to make yearly sacrifices of some edged tools to the water, for of such things the big canoe was 'wade. He instructed them how to build their medicine lodge and taught them also the forms of these annual ceremonies, informiug them that as long as made these sacrifices and performed their rites to the full letter they might be as- sured of the fact that they would bethe favorite people of the Almighty, and would always have enough to et and drink; but if they should depart from these forms they might be assured that their ruce would d crease and_finally run out, and might date their nation’s ealainity to that omission. A tradition among the Mandans is that they were the first people in_the world, and they originally lived inside of the earth. ‘Phey raised many vines and one of them had grown up through a hole in the earth overheud. One of t young men climbed up this vine until he came out on top ound on the bauk of the river, near dan village stands to this day. nd and admired the beautifil ud prairies about him, saw many s, killed one with his bow and ar- rows, and found that its meat was good to eat.

As to the religious phaze of the ghost dance it has the same theories as of old. The evil spirit appears in its performance and the great virtue of the Only Man keeps him from destroying the good. On this point the tra- dition runs thus At a very ancient period the Evil Spirit came with'the Only Man from the west, and sat down by & woman who had only one eye and was hoeing corn, Her daughter, who Was very pretty, came up to her and the Evil Spirit desired her to go and bring some water, but wished that before she started she would come to him and eat some buffalo meat, He told her to take & plece out of his side, which she did, and ate it, which proved to be buffalo fat. She then went for the water, which she brought, and met in the village where they had walked, The friends of the girl soon after endeavored 10 disgrace her by telling her that she was enciente, which she did not deny, She de- clared her innocence at the same time and boldly defied any man in the village to come forward and accuse This raised a great excitement in the village and as no one could trying to a very large, fat woman, Mors;e Dry Goods Co.
