BEST GOVERNED CITY IN THE WORLD Curlosities ot Street Car Travel—Murat Hal- stead’s rrobi Solv Virchow Demonstration. By Mark Twain, (Copyrighted, 1:92, by 8. L. Clemens.] Brruix, Nov. 20, 1891, —1 feel lost in Bes- Iin, It has no resemblance to tho city I had supposed 1t was. There was once a Berlin whkich I would have known from descriptions 1 books—the Berlin of the last century and the beginning of the present ono: & dingy city i & marah, with rough stroets, muddy and lantorn-lighted, dividing swaight rows of ugly houses all alike, compacted into blocks as square and plain and uniform and monotonous and serious 8s so0- many dry goods boxes, But that Berln has disap- peared totally and left no sign, The bulk of the Berlin of today has about it no sugges- tion of its former eelf. Itisa new city, tho newest I have ever seen. Chicago would seam venerable beside it, for thero aro many old looking districts in Chicago, but not many in Berlin, Tho main mass of the city looks as if it had been built last weck, the rest of it has a just porcoptibly graver tone, and looks as 1f it might be six or eight months old. ‘The next feature that surikes ono is tho spaciousuess, the roominess of the ity Berlin is not merely a city 3f wida streots, 1tis the city of wido stroets, “Unter den Linden” is three streets inone; the Pots- dumerstrasse 1s bordered on both sides by sigewalks which are themselves wider than some of the historic thoroughfares of the old European capitals; there séem to be no lanes or alleys; there are no short cuts; horo and thore, where several important streots empty into a common center, that center's circumferonce is of @ maguitude calculatod to bring that word spaciousness into your mind again. The park in the middle of the oity 1s so huge that it calls up that expres- s10n once moro. The next featuro that strikes one is the straightuess of the streets. A result of this arrangement is that at night Berlinis an 10- spiring sight to see. Gas and the electric light are employed with @ wasteful liberal: 1ty, aud s0,wherever one goes, he has always double ranks of briliaut lights stretehing 1ar down iuto tho night on every hand, with here aud there & wide and splenaid constella- tion of thom spread out over an interven ing “'piatz,” and between the interminable double procession of street lamps one has the . -swarming eud darting cab lamps, a lively . and preuty sddition to the fine spectacle, for they countevfeit the rush and confusion aud sparkle of an invasion of firefiies, Compared with Chicago. There is one other noticeablo feature—the absolutely level surface of the site of Herlin Berliu is the European Chicago. Tue two cities have about the same population, I can- not speak iu exact terms, because I only know what Chicago's population was week before lust; but at that time it was about a million and a nalf. But uow the paralels fail. Only parts of Chicago are stately and beautiful, whereas all of Berliu is stately and substantial, and it is not mercly in parts, but uniformly beauti- ful. There are bu(hllnzl in Chicago that are architecturally finer than any in Berlin, [ think, but what I have just said above 1s still true. These two flat ci would lead the world lnr}zmmnmo al good health if London was out of the way. As it is, Loudon leads h{ poiut or two. Beriin's death rate is only niveteen in 1,000, Fourteen years sgo the rato was o third higher. Berlin s a surprise in @ wultitude of ways, to spaak strongly and be exuct.

There are several taxes, and they are collected quarterly; they afe not merely levied, they uro dullected—every time.

In ono respect the 1,500,000 of Berhin's population are like a famil The head of this large family knows the nawes of its several mombers and where the said members are located, and when and where they were born, and’ what they do for a living, and what their religious braud is. Whoever comes to Berhn must furnish these par ulars to the police immediately; morecover, if he knows how long he is going 10 stay ho must say so. 1f ho takes a Louse be will be taxed on his rent and taxed aiso on his in- come, He will not be asked what his in- como is, and so ho may save some lies for home consumption. Tho police will estimato his income from the house rent he pays and tax him on that basis. “The calm, quiet, courteous, cussed persist- ence of the police is the most admirable thing I have encountered on this side. Thoy undertook to persuade me to seud and get passport for a Swiss maid whom we had broughit with us, and at the end of six wecks of puticot, tranquil, angelic daily offort they succeeded. 1 was not intending to give them trouble, but I was lazy and [ thought they would gt tired. Meanwhile they probably thol t 1 would be the one. [t turnud out Just 50, Oune is not allowed to build unstable, un- safe, or unsightly houses iu Berhn.

These peoplo aro full of whims, Sanitation Scientifically Systematic, Ouo is not allowed to cram poor folks into cramped aud dirty tenement houses. RBach individual must bave just 5o many cubic feet of room space, and sanitary inspections aro systematic aud frequent. ‘There are abuudance of newspapers in Ber- lin, and therc was also a newsboy, but he died. At intervals of half a mile on the tnor ouglifuros there are booths, and 1L is at these that you buy your papers, I'here are plenty of tbeaters, but \hey do not advertise in a loud way. Tnere aro no big posters of any kind, and the display of vast type aud pic- tures of aotors aud performance framed on a big scalo wud done iu rainvow colors is thing unkaown. Unsightly things are for- bidden hiere; Berlin is a rest to the cve. And yet ihe siunterer can easily ind out what is gomg ou ut tho theaters. = All over the city at short distauces apart thero are neat round pillars eighteen feet high and about as thick as a hogshead, aud on these the little black and white theater bills and other notices are pasted. One generally finds & group around each pillar reading these things, Phere are plenty of things in Herlin worlh importing to Amer! Itis these that I have particularly wished to make a note of. When Bauffalo Bill was here his biggest poster was probably oot larger thau the top of an ordwary trunk. There is a 1ultiplicity of clean and com. fortable horse cars, but whenever you thin k you know where @ caris gowg 10, you had DeLter siop ashore because that car is not go iug tothat place at all. The car routes are marvelously intricate, and often the drivers EH. lost and are not beard of for years. mun are of uo value when you aro trying to pavigate Berlin in @ borse car, Whnou the ablest of Brooklyn's editors was hero ou o visit, he tuok a horse car in tho aarly morn- g and wore it out trving Lo get to & poiut in mo ceuter of the city. He was on board all ! sud spent many dollars in faves and then Bot arrive at the place which he had lwud 10 go to. This is the most thorough way in which to see Berlin, but it is also the most expousive. Street Car Kegulations. But there are excellens features about the car systom, nevertheless. Ths car will not stop for you Lo get ou or off axcept at certuin places a block or two apart, whore there is a sign to indicate that that is analting station. ‘Chis system saves many bones, Thero aro twenty places inside the car; when theso scats are filled no more can enter, Fouror five persons may stand on each platform —tho law decrees the number—and whon these stand. ing places are all ocoupied the next applicant is refused. As th ro is no crowding, and as no rowayism is allowed, women staud on the platforms as well as mon. They often stand there whon there are vacant seats inside, for these places are comfortable, there beinglittle or no jolting, A native tells me thav when ho first car was put on, thirty or forty years ago, the public had such o terror of it that they gidu't feel safe inside of it or outside either. They made the company keepa man at every crossing with a red flag in his hand. Nobody would travel in the car except con- victs on the way to the gallows. —‘T'his made business in only one direction, and tho car had to go back light. To save the company the city government transferced the convict cometery to the other end of the line. This made traflic in both directions and kept the company froin golug under. 'Lbis sounds like some of tho information which traveling for- eigners are furnished with in America. To my mind it has a doubtful riug about it. The first-class cab is neat and trim, and has leather cushioned seats and a swift horse. The second class cab is an uzly and lubberly vehicle, and is always old. It seoms a strange thing that thev have never built any new ones. Still, if such a thing wero done overybody that had time to flock would flock to sco it, and that would make a crowd, and the pohw do not like crowds and dis- ordor here, 1f there ware an earthquako in Berlln the police would take chargo of it and conduct it in that sort of orderly way that would make you think it was o prayer meet- ing. That is what an carthquake generally onds in, but this ono would be different from those others; it would bs kind of soft and self-contained, liko a republican praying for 8 mugwumj Streets and Streot Cloaning. The streets are very clean, Thoy are kept s0—not by prayer aud talk and tho other American methods, but oy daily and bourly work with scrapers aud brooms; and when un asphalted street has been tidily scraped after a rain or a light snowfall, thoy scatter clean sand over it. This saves some of the horses fror falling down. In fact this is o city government which seems to stop at no expenso whera the public convenience, com- fort and heulth uro concerned—except in one dotail. That is the naming of the streets aud the numbering of the bouses. Some- times tho name of @ street will change in the middls of & block, You will not find it out till you get to the next corner and discover the necw name on the wall, and of course you don’t know just when the chango happened. he names are plainly warked on the cor unrs—on all coruers--there arono cxceptions, But the numbering of the houses—there has never buen anything like it since original chaos, The nuinbers run up one side of the strect and down the other. Thuat is endur- able, but the rest isn’t, ‘Chey often use ono number for tureo or four houses, aud some- umes they put the numver on only one of the houses and ict you guess gt the othors, A result of tois systemless system is that wher you are at No. 1in a street you haven't any idea now far it may be to No. 150; it may be only six or eight blocks, it muy baa couple of Miles, ‘Ihere are a good many sulcides in Berlin; 1 have seen six reported in & singlo day. There is alwuys a deal of learned aod labor- ious argument, and ciphering going on as to tho cause of this state of things. If they will ssr to work and numbsr theiwr houses ina rational way, perhaps they will find out what was the matter. Virchow Birthday Celobration. Moro than a month ago Herlin began to preparo to celebrate Prof. Virchow's seven- tleth birtuday. When the birtbday ar- rived, the middle of October, it seemed to me that all the world of science arvived with it; doputation after deputation came, bringing the homage and reverence of far cities and oenters of learning, and during the whole of a long day the beroof 1L sat and received such witness of his greatness as has seldom beeu vouchsafed 10 auy man in any watk of lifein any time, ancient or modern.
