A PEEP INTO BERLIN RIXC'JRF, THE WHITECHAPEL OF THE CLRMAN CAPITAL. 1 •- • Slums., anil I .ver> HihiK I i:r „' : -id :• | ( . p,,. lice < outre.l 111 Ilie Quarter W here tlie Wurkiiii; I’cvph- Live. Nothing in Berlin s.> much lmp.res.ies me as Rixdorf, the Whitechapel of the German capital. You know the east end of London—the stilling courts, the grimy alleys, the roaring taverns, the tattered children, the suffocating reek of frying fish and the groups of gossiping slatterns at every gloomy doorstep. Now let me show how another Kurupeau city houses its working classes, t ome with me into the •■slums" of Berlin. Krom the center of the city, with its splendid houses mid its ceaseless shops, an electric tram carries one swiftly to Rixdorf. a district connected by every possible means with every quarter of the city, however la liionable or mag nitieeut. And when yon reach it you scaievly know that you have left the fashionable mid magnificent quarters at all. for on every siiie of you are s icious streets, with trees planted at the ■ curb, and on the other hand tall while palaces rising up with solid dignily to ward a char sky; huge houses, bright and spei kless, with wide doorways, many shining windows and iron railed balconies, whore creepers twine and children play; splendid ami noble houses, sinh as you would look for with difficulty in almost any quarter of London. It is here that the working classes of Berlin live out tiieir careful, thrifty and laborious lives. The jerry builder does not exist in Berlin. As soon ns land falls vacant it is purchased by companies of recognized repute, often by banking houses, and only such streets are planned which meet all the requirement*! of sanitation and art. The bouses are built, and the working classes enter them, the well off renting the ground and first floors, the poorer folk mounting to the floors above. From the doorstep to the fan light in the roof everything is clean and orderly. I have hail the pleasure of entering some of these flats and talking to their owners. I found the interiors no whit less pleasing than the magnificence of the facades. Here, for instance, is the home of a man who keeps a little greengrocer's shop in his front room. ■On the walls are shelves bright with polished clllna and tin. A stove filled with hot bricks diffuses a pleasant warmth and shines in all its tiles with the labors of the housewife. A table spread with a neat cloth occupies the center of the room ami is set out with the frugal tea of the little family. The grandmother, with a warm shawl over her shoulders, sits in a high backed chair beaming at her visitors. The g<»d housewife, radiantly clean, hangs over the back of the chair, nodding a sympathetic bead at every twist of the conversation. Big and burly, leaning against the wall, with Lis cap in his hand, bis arms folded across his deep chest, is the master of the household—an ex seaman, with shining dark eyes, black hair and a red face. The big boar hound which pulls the vegetable cart through the streets presses his full weight against the legs of the English visitor and drives him slowly and resolutely to the wall, where he holds him prisoner till the master, laughing, and the housewife, apologizing, call him off. We learn from these good people that they have their hard times and that it is often difficult to dross the children ns they could wish, but nevertheless they never go short of food—no. no; that does not happen in Berlin. As for work—why. life would be a poor thing without it, and there is usually an hour or two in tin* evening when they can go ami hear music at the case. Oh. yes; they are comforts I de-enough, and Berlin is pretty good as cities go. But the country ah. that's ffiic. that is! But everywhere, even in this order ly quarter of the city, there is evidence of whr.t the Berliners hate and resent more than anything else "the control.” '•Look!'’ said my guide, a workingman’. as we mounted the stairs of one of these Rixdorf palaces. His hand pointed to a d> >r on the first floor, line I saw to my amazement that it was a police ofili •. "Yes." he said bitterly, “they live with us; eyen in our houses! The control; always the control!" i asked to he allowed to enter, and. hnv ing a magic mime on my lips as an introduction. I was permitted to Inspect tlie place. The police greeted me in a pleasant fashion, taking their cigars from their mouths and pausing In their games to give me Information. As we passed out and -stood for a moment looking nt the photographs and descriptions of missing citizens on tlie wall I told my guide that tlie police seemed to me agreeable enough. “They are ail right." lie snlij, "but they are only tlie strings. Tlie people Who pull the strings ah. those are tin* devils! You should si* them! Oh. my heavens, you should!" But 1 saw no Initializing evidence of the control In my wanderings. I entered little beer houses, comfortable places, with tallies and chairs and music going cheerfully through the evening, and snvi no cheek upon the enjoyment of the people. They have their beer gardens in Rixdorf, their music hulls and their places for lectures an 1 Socialist meetings. They walk through lhe broad streets and pay culls at each other's houses and crowd to the Toniplehofer fold to see the great military reviews, it seemed to me that they are In happy circtimstnnccs. Now. 1 saw during nil my Wandering* through Rixdorf one half drunken man. but never did I see a drunken Woman. I ini told that drunkenness among the women is unknown. Harold Rigble In London Mail.

JONATHAN DORE, Ills Ten n» forum < lon to SaviiKory and Return to Civilization. In lune. 17 HI. .lonr.llian I lore, a boy of twelve years old. was told by his failior, who was at work with otli-'r men in 11.e field, tn s:t on the feme and keep a sharp lookout lor Indians, who w<. ■ 't - is- ■ ■ This was in or near Roc., ...er, N. 11. The boy sat whistling on the feme. The Indians all at mue eamoyin sight. He gav*- the alarm, and Hie men all escaped: bub before he could get down from the fence the Indians seized him. His father saw him captured and carried off, but could do nothing. Eleven years afterward the Fort William Henry mas acre occurred. Among lhe New 11-tmpshire soldiers who escaped was a Imver man. who declared con lident ly that he had seen Jonathan Dore. He had often been at Mr. Dore's hou and knew Jonathan well. He u ; sure he hail not been mistaken in his identification. When tlie massacre became general after the surrender of the fort the Dover man ran for Hie woods and was closely pursued by an Indian. His pursuer gained upon him so fast that lie turned at last and faced him to meet his unavoidable fate. The uplifted tomahawk was just descending upon his head when he recognized. d tlie paint and costume of an Indi the eyes of Jonathan Dore. Tlie r nition seemed to be mutual. The Im!.. :> dropped his tomahawk at his side an., walked slowly back to the fort. Such whs the story of the returned soldier, but it gained little credit. Two years later, however. Jonathan Dore suddenly made his appearance in Rochester after an absence of more than thirteen years. He had been treated kindly by the St. Francis tribe, to which his captors belonged, had married an Indian girl, had acquired the habits and disposition of an Indian, and indeed had almost forgotten that he was descendixl from another race. He bore a part in all the cruelties at the taking of Fort William Henry. A white man whom he was pursuing turned upon him just in season to arrest the descending tomahawk. and then Dore saw a face which had been familiar to him in childhood. Memories of his father's fireside and the happy scenes of his boyhood rush ed upon bls mind: his arm fell, and he walked back to the fort and took no further part In that horrible tragedy From that time he thought continually of his boyish home, but his wife and children bound him to Hie Indians with ties that could not he severed. Then came Major Rogers and his rangers, intent upon avenging the Fort William Henry butchery. Dore was absent in the Held busking corn. Hearing a general discharge of muskets and knowing that an enemy was upon the village, lie kept himself concealed and from his liidln place witnessed the massacre that U.lowed. Then the village was set on tire, and after the flames subsided he Venn d forth. Among the ruins he found the bodies of his wife and children. He burled them in one grave and with them his attachment to the Indians. As soon as possible he made his way back to Rochester. He settled in Lebanon. Me., married again and spent there the remainder of his days, famous for his marksmanship, especially with the bow and arrow, and known to every one as “Indian Dore." American Assurance. Americans are not the most impudent persons on the face of the earth Nevertheless on occasion they can give points to those of some other nations. A traveler in Korea was dis covered taking snapshots of Russian soldiers and promptly arrested. “Have you been photographing my soldiers?" inquired the officer. “Yes. and 1 should like to take yours. Permit me!" Snap, and the thing was done. The Russian laughed, and the two men fell into conversation, whereupon the Amer lean .'.Hd that lie had recently been hi Port Arthur. 'Toil Arthur!" exclaimed the Russian. "Impossible!" “Oh. n->, not impossible. Your com patriots escorled me in." And. pulling some phot - raphs from his pock "I. he added. "I took these snapshots of your torpedo deslr-iycl'-s as they scooped down upon the little boat I was in." The Russian looked from lhe man Io the pictures with midisg'ifsed amaze menl. "Those are certainly our boats,” be admitted "Perhaps you know their names and will oblige me liy writing them on the backs of the pictures." I.ike the queen of Sheba before Solomon. there was no longer any spirit in the Russian. Meekly he took Hie prof sered American pencil and upon the American's prints wrote the names of the Russian torpedo destroyers. Tin- ( ii fl u I nil ,*«l Cornice. People who pass tin* Rothschild'man sion in the fashionable quarter of Lon don often notice Unit the end of one of the cornices is unfinished. Every one asks why. The explanation is a very simple yet suggestive one when It Is known. Lord Rothschild Is an orthodox Jew. and every pious Jew's house, tradition says, must have some part unfinished, to lie.ir lostlmony to the world that Ils occup • Is only, like Abraham, a pilgrim ■ 1 a str.iii.i'i' upon the earth. The Incomplete cornice upon the mat' an seems to say la till v'm hurry by !:i the street > bent on in ui-islng woi’ 'ly wealth or going alo with the ma ding crowd In the pat' s folly. "This Is mil Lord Rothschllii s home; ho Is traveling to el-ernity We. too. should remember that we are travelers. Dean Stanley left ns mi Inscription to be placed on Ills tomb these words: “The inn of n traveler on his way to Jerusalem."
