POTSDAM AND ITS PALACES. Lederer's Impressions of Fred erick the Great and Others. The Rlpr's Idea of a Joke—Nightmarish Ii -orations—i;ml>:irrass!i>cr Foot Gear— The Artist Misconceived—European Idea of Itopiil Transit. COPTIUGHT. 189R The sun has set in the west with a dull sickening—no, that won't, do. It is n dark night. The fragrant moon has retreated behind a murky cloud; the modest stars, though not exactly con cealed from view, nre hardly what you might call—well, nt any rate, it is a dark night. This doesn't sound enough like a scoop—that's so, it's word painting. WoTd-paintlng may not be in my line, but I'll make one more stab nt It. I'll take a fresh start. It is the Berlin express from Magde burg and still further west. Swiftly on its glittering track it has sped throuhg the dispiriting suburbs of the old cathedral town until, the open country reached, the scene grows more exhilarating. By the wayside a herd of swine, uuchnperoned, amiably munch their evening repast. Town after town, each with a name sugges tive of a fine brand of kase, of wurst, or mayhap of beer laden tankard, is passed with a rattling swish. Not a stop, not even a semicolon. Even stately old Brnndeuburg-on-the-llavel, midst river-made lakes and musty memories of long dead, world-famed margraves, is passed with scarcely a nod from the burly locoraotive-fulirer. The pink-and-white lieutenunt in the corduroy seat (for it is a second-class compartment, a fact the corduroy up holstering denotes) flips from off the lapel of the flre-gray overcoat a tiny cinder speck. over his high redcloth collar and aim at the spot where the cinder is. He must have felt iflftlrop there. The first, stop of this lightning ex press will be at Potsdam, my alighting place. The speed of the train is so great that the passengers are struck with awe at their own swift flight. The speed almost equals that made by an American milk train on a Wisconsin branch line. Dusk comes apace. I have authori ties to prove it. Twinkling stars be gin to appear in the boundless space above—space almost as boundless as that which I am writing against. 801, like a gleaming copper target, is slowly sinking, filling the western sky with lurid flame; the black tree tops are silhouetted against the glare like the spires and pinnacles of a burning city. The passenger at the east win dow of the compartment comes to life and lights a tobacco torch, which al first burns with a blue flame, then turns to orange, and this expiring, the torch smolders on sputteringly. T The air is divinely still, as if nature held her breath to watch the glory of dying day. Perhaps it is the cigar. The lieutenant discovers that, the left lobe of his mustache is off its perpen dicular. He arranges the matter to the intense relief of himself and the minor specimens of humanity who have the honored felicity of sharing the corduroy compartment with so il lustrious a person. Just above the carnation of the sky line n sea of mackerel green leaves the golden coastline of a buff cloud conti nent. ✓ Still the sun sinks. My henrt and soul ore absorbed in the kaleidoscopic transmutation of form and color still dimly visible under the veil of night. The squeak, squeak, of the locomo tive whistle. Housetops, turrets and church spires! A dome appears. The ROME STATUARY AT BANBSOUCI, BOUGHT AT AUCTION BY F. THE O. discordant clamor of u railway-station, and my golden reverie is shattered. We arc at Potsdam. I must get a "Dicnstmann" to take. 1113' "Gepaelc"— a porter to take my luggage. Potsdam! w hat a name for a place of imperial residence. It had another p name once—Fotsdapimi, which meant "Under the Oaks" in—well, some old language —Slavic, probubty. I wonder if it is treasonable to think that "Un der-the-oaks" sounds prettier than Potsdam. Anyway it was Potsdapimi in an old document made July 3, in the year 033. Iw as shown the document— the alleged document. Tenth century handwriting is very poor "copy." There are over §O,OOO human being 3 here, including about 10,000 soldiers and the royal fumily 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 17G3, lias 110 open plumb ing, and has as its only means of illum ination candles and oil lamps. A guide took me through several other Pots dam royal places (there ore five of them here), where there were no mod ern conveniences either; but the folks were out, for even royalty can't live in five palaces all at once, and so they let us go through the rooms—but an at tendant in a swallow-tail coat and brass buttons followed closely behind to see that I did not nip a granite vase or two, 01* a few samples of royal bedroom china. Most of the furniture consists of samples from stone and marble quar ries in other countries. Every room has at least one vase or malachite table, weighing about a ton, which the guides Informed visitors was a present from king so and so or the emperor this and that. Mind, I mention no names. There isn't a pint of running water in all the rooms of the four pa laces I in spected. The furniture may have been very good in its time, but is very much out of style to-day. My friend, the varnish and axle-grease manufacturer in New York, has much newer, and even more gilded, furniture in his house. The on!$ r things that impressed me were a few tortoise-shell bedroom-sets and writing tables, but even they looked shopworn. Two of Frederick the Great's music-stands arc made of the same material. I suppose tortoise shell was a cheap commodity in those days. Some paintings by the old mas ters are rather fine. In fact a few TWO FELLOW TRAVELERS ON TIIE BFJI - EXPRESS. pieces, hand painted, mind yon, by Wutteau, Van der Werff and Poussiu would not disfigure a Drexcl boule vard, Chicago, palace, even to-day. But need touching up some. It is hard to give a good description of the Potsdam palaces—they hustle you through so. There is nothing homey about a royal palace. I say that If they frontier me for it. Old Frederick the tried to make Sans-souci an at-home place, from his peculiar standpoint, but his standpoint was a great hindrance to his intentions. Sans-souci is said to have been copied from the palace of Versailles, and wa.< built by F. the G. in 1845—and his royal highness lived there most of the time- None of his successors eared much for it, however, and it Is now in pretty much the same condition as when he ceased to live there August 17, 178(1, 2:20 a. in. lam so sure and exact about the time, because a trained clock of his greatness felt so bad about it that, it stopped at the exact moment that the monafch expired. There was 110 coro ner's inquest held 011 the clock. They still exhibit (he clock, and they didn't even fold its hands. Sans-souci is only one story high, for Frederick the Great was much averse to climbing stairs, and 1 sup pose he had lost faith in elevator in spectors, and therefore wouldn't trust his life 011 a "lift." They say he was gouty in his old age. When he lived nt the old palace (near the railway sta tion), which is a few stories high, he got around the stair business by having a chute built for himself. 1 should have liked to see his royal nibs do the slide act. It is hardly probable that the royalty of the past—or present—was put to the same inconvenience that visitors ex perience in the way of pedal covering. Even without taking the hustling into consideration, palacing is a form of amusement not unaccompanied by embarrassment, for the uncrowned visitor is required when slumming—l mean palacing to wear things on his feet. I don't know what to call 'cm. They're something like the wall-poch ets one sees in country houses in New Jersey, or perhaps more resemble the baskets by means of which the squaws in South Dakota carry their babies on their backs. Only these are felt—and seen. I've heard dark hints to the efTect. that it was merely a scheme to get the hard wood floors polished without expense. When Frederick the Great was crown prince he was permitted to keep up a little court of his own, and he surrounded himself with quite a "smart" set, of which Voltaire was n shining member. When he finally be came king he built Sans-souci and took the whole "smart" net along with him. Then Voltaire got the big head and fre quently got too gay with the king. So the latter concluded to play a joke on Voltaire. There were no comic week lies in those days, or Frederick would have ordered a center page devoted to his favorite. So he managed to get Voltaire to take advantage of the sum mer excursion rates to Paris. Voltaire took a round trip, and went to revisit his old Par. While he was gone Fred crick played horse with Voltaire's room. He sent for the decorators and told them about a dream ho had. The decorators transferred thodrenm to the walls and furniture of Voltaire's room. Voltaire returned and nearly had a fit when he saw his room. The ceiling and the walls were all covered with carved and painted figures, monkeys, cranes, peacocks and parrots; even the furniture was mixed up the same way. It was all, said the mlrry king, an inno cent portrayal of Voltaire's character. The hitter's dislike for cold water, even, was pictured by n miniature chamber service. Then Voltaire quit his job. The room is still shown just as Vol taire wouldn't have it. A genial, fun loving soul was Frederick the Great. But you rend nil that, did you, .years ago in the fourth reader? So did I; but it seemed like a new tale to see the room in all its hideous reality. That there arc nearly 10,000 soldiers In Potsdam is due to the fact that this Is the official summer residence of the emperor and his family. There are here four soldiers, I am told, from each regiment of the German army, those forming a sort of imperial guard. I was fortunate enough to be present at a turn-tout of the Royal guard. A very gallus-looking old oflicor was pointed out. to me as Koniglicher Kommanda teur, and I must say lie looked it every inch. Ilis uniform showed that, great. ingenuity had been exercised, together with a total disregard for expense or taste, in the getting up of his uniform; but he was a dull-looking object com pared to the drum major of the—l can't for the life of me tell now whether it was a regiment of Landwehr-Bezirks- Kommando, or a detachment of the Sehlossgarde-Kompagnie; or maybe it was the Eskadron des Regiments der Garde du Corps. Very likely it was all three. I may have got the name of one regiment divided into three parts by accident. The names of these regi ments are ao simple. He was a beauty, this drum major; and if I could only have him shipped I would have him with me, even if I had to pay 47 M. excess baggage. By the way, they carry this excess baggage charging to excess—this country# As I couldn't cart him along I made a hurried sketch of this most gorgeous of nil drum ma jors, a sketch that I will preserve, even if it takes 20 pounds of sugar to do it. ITere nt Potsdam is a colony planted by Frederick the Great, which is full of interest and Russians. The latter are descended from the Russian mer cenaries whom the great Prussian king hired for target practice. They are the most descended people I ever saw. They live in houses that are an unhnppy medium between a Swiss chalet and what I imagine n Russian abode to he. West of the town, on the right hank of the deep sea, dor tiefe See, as an off shoot of the river Havel is called on the local maps, is the I'abelsberg park, and at the north end of this is another castle," also the abode of royalty. It ii a fine affair, and as Is aecustomarv, visitors are permitted to skate through some of the rooms when the royal fam ily is away. It is 25 pfennig a shot at each palace or castle, and you are ex pected to drop a tip or a tear ns you go along. It all depends. It's a tip at the writing table of Konig Heinrich, the S'teenth, but a tear is considered more appropriate at a masolcum where a few kings and queens are planted. There are a good many articles of vcrtu to be seen here, but they don'l come up to the collection of brie a brae A I THEY'RE TERRIBLY PARTICULAR ABOUT THEIR OLD HARDWOOD FLOORS. that Frederick the Grcnt strewed around Snns-souci. Ilere arc no stat uettes like those the Great Frederick is said to have bought at an auction of Pompeiian and Grecian antiquities. And in the picture galleries of Babels berg there are no portraits of Napoleon or Mme. Pompadour, such as are to be viewed at the Orange palace of Pots dam. There were no Napoleons or Pompadours In Frederick William the Third's time, and the Napoleonic craze had not struck in at the time that mon arch expired. I was skating on the grounds here when an officer of the household ap proached me. I thought perhaps be was a connoisseur, and as such I wel comed his presence. "Das ist nicht hier erlaubt," he re marked, 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 outlines of a group of peasants who were standing opposite the bank where I had established temporary headquar ters. And then the officer took me in hand and gravely explained in choicest Ger man with a slight Zwiebel accent that there were a few princesses and princes stopping at the castle, and that during their visit they did not wish to be sketched. "But I am not sketching them," lex plained, by means of my Kngliseh- Beutsch and Deutsch-Englisch Tas chenworterbueli. And I showed him my sketch. "Das inacht nichts aus. Dicse kon~ nen dach prinzessinnen sein." (Thatmakes no difference; those may st ill be princesses.) He was an honest official intent on doing his duty; but he was no judge of pictures, and my sketch of a group of peasants was torn into bits and ground into the soil. CHARLES LEDERER. A Hug: That Can Cut Metal. The Zoplierus Melicanus is the only known species of American beetle that has strength enough in its mandibles to cut metal. This curious faculty of zoplierus was accidentally discovered by F. W. Dcvoe, a member of the New York Microscopical society. A friend bad sent Mr. Devoe some specimens of this queer species of bug from the northern states of South America. The miscroscopist was busily engaged when the insects arrived and simply provided temporary quarters for the creatures in a glass jar having a nietnl top in which the porcelain cap was wanting. Within less than forty-eight hours they had cut holes in the metal sufficient to get their heads through, and would soon Have escaped had their operations re mained undetected. By careful experi ment Mr. Devoe found that the force neccessary to do such cutting was equal to 3G9 grammes. An Afflicted Widow. A young lawyer, Maj.

Cornelius Yanderbilt votes in the ninth election district, of the twenty ninth assembly district cf New York. The polling place is in n florist's estab lishment on the east side of Sixth avenue, between cnth and Fifty eighth streets. Mr. Yanderbilt appeared before the election officials on Tuesday. ITe evi dently did not desire to postpone his registration and took advantage of the first day to qualify as a voter. There Is a negro inspector in the board and h° "KIN YOU READ AND WRITE, BAII?" was noting as chairman when Mr. Vnn derbilt appeared before the registrars. "Name, sah?" ejaculated the Afro- American, who cultivated his voice as a chimney sweep. "Cornelius Yanderbilt," was the re ply- The negro was paralyzed. Ills pen began to play a tattoo on the registra tion book, scattering ink spots all over the page. A big splash of the black fluid changed the name of a voter who had already registered from Dennis to Funis, while another but smnller splash covered the large 0' which is the initial letter of the surname of one of Mr. Yan dcrbilt's coachmen. When the colored inspector had recovered froni his spasm and his huge eyeballs had sunk back into his head, he continued his ques tions to the multimillionaire. "Kin you read and write, sah?" "See here," exclaimed Mr. Yander bilt, with evident anger, "you are im pertinent. What right have you to nslc mo such silly and impertinent ques tions?" "De law ob de Inn', boss; de lawobde lan', suah nuff. Caln't skuse you, ef you is Mr. Vanderbifk. De rich en de pooh got tor 'scribe tcr de law.

Mr. Yanderbilt appealed to the white spectators and they pacified him by showing him the new law for the reg istration of voters. "What arrant nonsense," said Mr. Yanderbilt. He then said that lie was 51 years of age, weight 170 pounds and was 5 feet 10 inches in height. ills complexion was recorded as dark. As he started to leave the place of registration he tossed a quarter at the colored inspector. The coin struck the table and rolled to the floor. The quarter and the eofToe-eolored inspector disappeared simultaneously. They met, under the table. THE GIRLS ARE ATHLETIC.
