Ki sixor.\ % Germany , July 27. [ Special to
Tin : Hix.j I'tiraon ? traveling for the sake or
plcnmruand recreation , even \vlillo In the
intdat of all that tends to further these ends ,
feel at times n peculiarly strong longing for
the homo they loft. To bo able to converse
wltli friends from theirowncity , even though
It bconl ) fern few inoinents , would he hap
piness to them which would inako all enjoyment -
mont previously derived from their trip
dwindle , for tlio time being at least , Into In
significance.
Win-minder the iniltionco of such a sensa
tion ono is almost Involuntarily led to hlnmo
the Inventive gitilii9 of rn.m for not having
as yet produced the wonderful moulmnijin
which Jules Verne In the February of lust
year's Forum prophesied ns living In exis
tence n thousand years hence , whereby man
\vlll bo ahlo to bo transported from ono plauo
to another , aorovt ocoius and continents , hi
ns short a duration of limo : n it tikes him to
express that with. Tims one now In the
French metropolis , feasting his eyes with
Parisian elegance iui'1 siilondor , could the
next hour bo some place in tno United Htutes ,
regaling his own o.irs with local news and
the ears of others with account. * of himself.
Hut alnco such contrivance | ) orforinlng such
miraculous work has not yet bean made , nor
may over make Its appearance , man is and
will for centuries yet bo obliged to substi-
Uilf1 , or rather , to adhere to the old but very
reliable menus of correspondence If hodo-
shes to talk to his friends from long dis
tances.
I , too , while sailing on steamship , riding on
railway cur or sitting In holol h.tvo often full
su though I would like to intorruptmy Jour
ney , embark into some sort of
electric apparatus , be convoyed toUmaha ,
unil give my friends a description
of the nature of my trip , of the places 1 vis
ited and of the points of Interest I have so fa1'
seen. Hut since I wns aware of the impossi
bility of the fulfillment of my wish , 1 decided
to wait until J had settled down for a , few
days of genuine rust and then write to Tim
} ) ii : : nnd inuko it the vehicle of Information to
mv friends.
It was .Tune 17 , at 4:15 : p. m. , n bright nnd
beautiful day , which now seems to mo to Imvo
been n prophecy of my pleasant ] outnoy , Unit
1 left Omaha bound for Europe.'o \ , 1 say
wo because an old anil sincere- friend , a form
er collcgo chum , accompanied me , did not go
direct to Ilobolion , N. J. , when wo wore to
take the boat that was lo carry us across the
briny deep hut pent a little mnro than luvcolc
in visiting several cities in the United Status.
Chicago , enterprising and prosperous ; Cin
cinnati , refined and classical ; Mngarn Falls ,
gorgeous and uue-lnspiriiig. and many other
places of less note but yet very prominent ,
nnd llimll.v New York city , metropolitan anil
coMiiopuli'tan , wcro these which wo thought
worthy of a visit along the route. Greatly
indeed wcro wo rewarded by our short visits
nt these cities , for \vo found that wonderful
improvements had boon made since last wo !
had boon there. Where formerly had been i
empty lots there massive structures towered I
iiunt-liki ; ! Into the hcnvcns ; where formerly
acres of land lay barren and waste , there >
most luxurhnt parks added beauty to the i
scene ; nil powerful testimonies of the pro
gressive spirit of the American people.
Juno as nt-i ! p. in. was the hour set for the
flopurturoof the steamer Gcllcrt of the Ham
burg-American packet company. Long be
fore Iho anchor was drawn in by the robust
deck-hands , passengers were promenading to i
and fro upon the upper decks. Friends wore >
there to see off friends , spouse fondly em
braced spouse , parent affectionately bade j
good-byo to child. There was a strange union L
of joy and grlof , of smiles and tears joy
nnd smiles because of the anticipation of a i
wholesome and instructive trip , grief and I
tears Lccauso of the thought of separation i
from these ncnr and dear.
The boll rang loud , the whistle blow shrill ,
the command was given , nnd with the sailors1 1
usual discordant song tbo vessel was loosened 1
from , its moorings on the dock , which had I
held it stationary for almost n week past.
Slowly the Gfllcrt glided out of Now York
harbor. For almost two miles could bo seen
Indies waving their handkerchiefs and gen
tlcmcn their hats , all acquaintances of the
tourists , as if. desirous of continuing their
wishes for H pleasant journey and a safe return -
turn until tbo vessel was entirely out of
sight.
The day was grand nud n grander ono It. I .
could not hnvo been. The horizon was u
clear blue , the sea was calm , nud ft refresh
ing bnxvo added to our speed. Brooklyn i
Nbridge , the world-renowned masterpiece of
engineering wus gradually disappearing
from before our view. Bedloo Island
with its Bartholdl statue of lib
erty grew mnro und moro Indistinct.
C'oney Island , the popular bathing resort of f
the east , with its many pleasuro-scokers , was
clearly seen. Sandy Hook , the ex 110 mo
point of Long Island , was passed ; the usual 1
Milutatlon was given , und we soon found ourselves -
selves gliding along upon regions strange to
many a oim , with
. Wnlor , water everywhere.
And not only were the regions strange , but
also the people themselves ; for tliuy con
sisted of inhabitants from nil parts of the
wcstoin continent. But just as soon as the
eye became accustomed to the surroundings ,
so soon the passengers became acquainted
with ono another.
Jdany nn acquaintance developed Inton ,
flluccro friendship , so thnt already on the
second day it appeared as though there was
only ono family on hoard. It was Impossible
to remember all by their proper names , even
after nn Introduction. In this dilemma our
power of imagination came to our assistance
nud wo soon begun to designate pel-sons by
nicknames which wore bestowed because o'f
some prominent personal characteristic.
Thus , for instance to a young man who had
been abominably buriieU by thpsun we ap
plied the name of "Kedsnnmier , " because of
the redness of his face , and to an old gentlo-
iinin of sovcnty-six , who wns exceptionally
luilo and hearty and wonderfully well pre
served for his ago , wo gave tuo name of
"
" Ironsides. "
Ono iiecullarity with regard to the passen
gers might bo mentioned : It is the fact that
they consisted mostly of professional men
and women. There wcro counties * physicians
and medical students , who were bonnet for
" "Berlin toattcnd the great medical conference
to bo held in August ; there were countlms
musicians nnd artists , eager to see liuropcau
hinds ; there were countless preachers
and professors seeking solid recreation nnd
ix-st. The very llrst question that no doubt
suggested Itself lo our fellqw passengers ns
It did to my friend nnd myself , and ns it also
no doubt suggests itself to these who have
never taken an ocean trip , was :
"How is one to spend Ihu ten or cloven
days that ho will bo Imprisoned , as It were ,
on board vcssell"
Soon , however , this puzzle wns solved , nnd
hnppily to the gratification of nil. Tlio morn
ing wns usually spout In chatting lo some
neighbor or reading some interesting book ,
which could bo secured nt tho.librnrv on
board : the afternoon In playing the now'unl-
vi'rsally known game of high nvo or the nn-
cient but highly Interesting game of casino ,
and almost all nvcnlngs in the saloon bolow.
wliero some entertainment both musical ana
literary was arranged by a few of tlioio good
souls who nro iilwuys happy when they sco
others enjoy themselves.
The second day was Sunday nnd everybody
seemed to feel his dependence on nhiKhor
power and consequently showed himself or
limelf prepared to attend divine services In
which thanksgiving anil prayer were to bo
uttered. Hut , sorry to say , these who took
It upon themselves toolllcluto , nmlo the ser
vice strictly sectarian In character , seeming
to forpct that advocates of all faiths wcro In
attcii'lancu. It appears us though the time
is yet far distant when mankind will como ,
torecognl/o thu subtlmo doctrine preached
by the Illustrious prophet of old : "Have wo
not all ono father ! lias not ouiTGod created
list" The following Sunday the same mis i.
take uas repeated. Quo day , however , wnen
nil wcro again assembled to pralso Owl , that f
mistake wns happily omitted. The occasion
to which 1 refer was the Fourth
of July , Americans nro Amerlv
WHIR no matter where they nro ,
whether it bo on land or on the deep bluesen ;
whether In llielr own free country or in some
foreign inoiinrchy. Their patriotism nnd na
tloiml pride nro nlwnvs displayed. The
glorious anniversary of tlio Independence of
the United States was greeted by nil nlieady
tit the early hour of sunrlje. Cannons were
llred from both sides of the vessel and chil
dren with torpedoes amused themselves in
frightening their elder fellow passengers dur
ing the enllro day. For the evening , how
ever , was left iho tnnlu portion of the celebra
tion. From S until 'J grand Illuminations took
place uudor the direction ot Captain ICacntpf.
On the extreme top of both masts and on the
ends of their cross-beams snt sailors , who.
upon the signal from the bridge , consisting of
tlio firing of a revolver , shot oil rockets , dis
playing In regular order our national colors ,
red , white mid blue. The spectacle was a
grand one nud the people manifested their
appreciation of It by cheers that must have
been he.inl for miles nnd miles upon the sur
face of the deep. At tuo conclusion of this
all betook themselves to the salon , where n
pastor from New .Icrsoy delivered an oration ,
the passengers snng ' 'My ( tountry , 'Tls of
Thee , " and "The Star Spangled Banner. "
nnd celebrated musicians from New York and
Boston rendered some beautiful piano , violin
niul vocal solo ? .
When you , dear friends , read the descrip
tion of so pleasant n time , you must not linug-
Ino that nil on bojr-1 cnjorcii themselves
to their heart's content. There were , in
deed , many for whom the ocean
had lost all anticipated charms. Seasickness
ness played sail havoc with them , and had
they had command of the ship , they would
have undoubtedly lave ordered the same to
return to its starting point , already after the
llrst day's JournevOn July 7th , wo were
told that wo would see Knglnnd the following
day. This report made the healthy feel elated
and the sick convnlcscant. At 4 the next
morning all were on deck , nnd for the lirst
time we had the opportunity of witnessing
the grand spectacle of the break of dun upon
the ocean. The sun stole slowly from its
eastern hiding place and with Its crimson
rays of light made England's shores so beau-
liful with the richest colors that it became a
lit , subject for the artist's brish nnd poet's '
pen. At Southampton , that afternoon , wo
lost a great number of passengers. For two
days moro wo were on water , sailing through
thoF.ngllsh Channel , the North Sea nnd the
liver Kibe. The imposing sight wo beheld on
the English coast presented itself again with
equal grandeur along the coasU of tlM river
entering Hamburg , at which point wo arrived
on Thursday , July 10th , at 11) ) a. m. , after a
trip of eleven days nnd twelve hours. With
considerable reluctance wo loft the boat ,
where we hud the good fortune of having an
able anil congenial captain at our head , in Iho
person of llerr Keanipf , nnd a tnost courtcouo
and gallant crew , that took nil imaginnbl.s
pains in adding to the comfort nnd enjoy
ment of the passengers , And , however , re
luctantly we left , wo , nevertheless , were In
describably happy in being able to stand once
moro on ' 'term llruia , " where man feels most
secure.
Immediately after lauding we were
convoyed to the custom house and hail our
baggage examined. Then wo engaged a hack ,
as It Is always boit for strangers and foreign
ers to do , and asked Iho driver to take us
through the main thoroughfares of the city
and stop at the most important places of in
terest. Ho look ns to where we could gctthe
best view of the harbor and told us , ns our
linillnd experience and guldo wo had pur
chased corroborated , thnt Hamburg could
boast not of liner waters than our own New
York city , hut of a greater amount of trans
oceanic traffic. Steamships and sail boats
depart from there to all points of the inhab
ited glebe , and to the eye of the beholder
they appear to form a bewildering network
of musts and rigulng. From there wo went
to the ruological garden , a description of
which I shall forego , as there is hardly any
one , who has not already visited such an In-
stltution , yet I shall state in reference to it
that It justly enjoys the reputation of being
second In iiink to the one in London , known
as the largest and most complete in existence.
Hamburg , it was told us , has a population of
nearly half a million , and is a city which ,
despite its antiquity , can bo termed very
beautiful. Its streets are wider than these
of many more celebrated European towns.
Its mow recent buildings are of supurb and
costly comstruction , its parks are largo and
attractive , nnd its suburbs many and cnurm-
Ing. Thnt same afternoon at 4:30 : , well lm-
pressed with our llrst stopping place
wo betook ourselves to the do pot to start for
Berlin , Germany's metropolis and capital. On
purchasing our tickets wo were asked which
class wo desired to travel , something rather
now for an American. Trains in Oermnny
carry lirst , second , third and fourth class
coaches , and afford an amount of comfort pro
portionate to the class. Wo requested the
ticket agent to permit us to look at n time
table. A buok almost two pounds in weight
was handed to us , mid when after politely
thanking him. we stalled to walk to the train
with it , ho in format us that thu charges
would Do 2 marks. We told him to keep it ,
thinking that wo might perhaps got a folder
like that of the Burlington on the Union I'a-
cillc , but for all that , wo might have koptthut
nt the very start , for wo wore compelled to
purchase such a book anyhow later
on , Inasmuch as wo learned that
time tables In this country nro
not given away , but are only on sale. In n
few moments wo were seated In the train in
n second class apartment , nbout ten feet high ,
twelve feet long and ten feet wide. The seats
were beautifully upholstered , somewhat llko
our Pullman coaches in America. The differ
ence between this and first clu s , wo wcro in
formed , is only In the color of the covering of
the seats. Few people travel 11 rU class in
( icrmany. Those that do are cither of the no-
bility or some Americans who , unacquainted
with"tho class system , think that
became they travel llrst class at
home , must also do so In other
countries. Finally wo pulled out of the
depot , and raced along at the rate of forty
EngliMi miles nn hour. Our tickets were
collected by-tho conductor , so called "SchafT-
nor- , ' who by his rich uniform , his commandIng -
Ing tone of voice , and his short answers to
questions asked , impresses ono with his great
authority. The first plnco we stopped was
Friodrlcksruhe , interesting because Prince
Hismarck has a castle there , in which ho is
spending his summer this year. To Derlin
wo got at ! ) p. m.
It might Justly be said of Berlin , that it is
one of the most'lioautlfiil cities on the conti-
ncnt. Kvery section of it , with theexccption
of what Is known as old Berlin , because of its
ancient structures , possesses nn elegance and
grandeur that is at once pleasing and attruc-
tlvo. Not only nro Iho dwellings of kings
and princes palatial , hut even tlio business
bouses and private residences. No matter
where ouo looks ho beholds the most costly
finish , which cannot help but roll no the tastes
of people nnd make them lovers of thu highest
art. On housetops and above entrances one
moots with the most perfect statuary and in
the halls of nil edifices with the most beauti
ful paintings. And not only the eye docs
Berlin educate , but nlso the ear. No matter
where the place or what the time , ouo can
hear the most sublime music discoursed by
musicians , everyone of whom Is an artist on
his particular Instrument. Among theinonu-
incuts thnt deserve special mention Is that of
the goddess representing "Gcruianla , " which
is situated in " "
thoso-called"Tblergnrten"and
among the statues that of General Wrangle
on tbo "Leipzlgor Plniz. " This deceased
general was a great favorite among tlio peo-
plo of Germany , because of his great goner-
oslty. His related of him that ho would give
n three "pfennig" piece to every one that
would bid him the day. That many of the
old ns well us the young wcro exceedingly
courteous to him is needless to say.
Under-dcii-linden , a beautiful promenade ,
the well known sights of licrliu are to bo
seen und hero it is whither the tourist is llrst
attracted. There stands the celebrated
miunriun that reveals Iho hidden wonder of
the deep namely. Its mineral , plant and
nninml life , the palaces of the Into emperors ,
William nud Frederick , and that of the pres
ent mniuirsh , William II. ; the Itoyal opera
house , the celebrated Berlin university , with
the. siiituo of the great Ilumboldt in its court ,
und Iho "XeiiKhaus , " where weapons used for
centuries and centuries have been deposited
for safe keeping ; old war-beaten Hags nro
iirehprvcd , ami fortlllod cities and famous
battles nroluld out In clay. Other places of
Interest In the city itself that are worthy of
mention are tlio National g.illery and the so-
called I'anoptlnnn , thu former being 1,01110-
what on thu style of our American art
galleries but on a much larger scale , and the
latter somewhat llko the Eden Museo of
Chicago and New. York , presenting a mng-
tiiliceut array of wax figures. The suburb
Chnrlottetiburg also , as a rule , nttracls the
attention of strangers. It is nn hour's drive
from the heart of Berlin , On tbo
main road leading to it are the great poly tech-
nicnl institute , the insane asylum , and the
flora or botanical institute , consisting of au
endless series of largo flower garden * . In
Chsirloltonburg stand the old Etnrwror
Frederick's castlennd tbo famous mausoleum ,
where the remains of the following rest :
Frederick William III , nnd his wife. Queen |
Louise , parents of Emperor William I. ; Emi
j > cror William I. hl'nself nml his wife. Queen
AOgustii ; Prince Albrocltt , youngest brother
of Emperor William I. , and iho heart of
Kmperor Frederick William IV. , who lies
burled In Poltsdnm , n small town a few miles
from Berlin , The mausoleum Is a striking
structure of white stone , whoso Interior con
sists entirely of marble. In the main hull ,
which Is thrown open to visitors , are marble
llgurcsof Frederick William III. nnd Queen
Louise , ns thuv wcro once seen lying In state.
While In Ilerlhi wo nlso attended theater.
The performance wo witnessed was that en
titled "The 1'oov Jonathan , " an opera by the
well-known nnd popular composer , Carl
Wllloocker. The part \vm light , the music
pleasing , the nctow coed , Iho scenery eiabor-
ale. Tlio scene was laid in America. This
the actors .teemed to forget and If not mani
fested n sad Ignorance 119 to American cus
toms nnd manners. The German and Ameri
can theatre. ! can learn a gro.it deal from ono
another. The former the free distribution of
programmes among the patrons and the latter
the enforcement of the romoviilof ladles' bon
nets during the play. It was such comfort
not to have a towelllko Klffel or a bird's entire -
tire plumage obstructing the view. Wo are
In great hope that the day Is not far distant
when American theatres , to bo In harmony
with theii laudable spirit of ready accommo
dation , will also Introduce this innovation.
Berlin wo loft on Sunday evening , July 13 ,
with the prt/nlsoon : our llpa and tl'esolu -
lion In our heart that if ever we s' mid again
como to ISuropo we shall not forget to devote
several days to Berlin , the metropolis and
capital of Germany. In my next I shall con
tinue the description of my trip.

Tlie Bohemian Smelting Works Men
Not Heady to Strike.
O.MAIMugust 10. To the Editor of Tun
Bni ; : There has been a great , deal written
and said in the past few weeks about reduc
tions of hours and a possible strike for that
purpose at tlio smelting works.
There have nlso been several meetings
called and several reports of such meetings ,
pattlcularly those of the workmen of Doha-
minn nationality , published. Allow tno to
throw some light on this subject and inform
you what the feeling among us is.
When the Bohemians employed nt the
works wcio invited to a meeting , we were all
curious to know where the move came
from. Some of us , having s > omo ex
perience at the works , wondered what
the I'dk about n possible slrlke meant ,
at this time of the year , when tlio hot season ,
which is most trying on us. is drawing to a
close. Some of us thought if the object waste
to better our condition It might bo at this
time ill-udviscd. The winter season , when
the work , even if unhealthy , is not unbearable
on account of heat and when It is easier for
the company to lill all the places at the works
is close at hand.
Others went oven further and felt
that It was a selfish schema to
iret us all out of work after we had
borne the rigor of summer heat so as
to make room for other workmen when cooler
weatlu-r will render tlie work bearable
There is not one of us , whether ho can
speak English or not , but is ready and will
ing to lend his hand for the betterment of
his own condition and that of his fellow-
wo'-hmon ; there is not ono who is not will
ing to lake a common stand in a common
light ; there is not ono who would desert the
cause of labor. But wo nro not ready and
willing to go on a 'fool's errand. We arc not
willing to attempt { something v'hieh seems to
us , under the circumstances and conditions ,
unattainable ; and before all , wo are not
ready to lend , although willing to follow.
Now , sir. the meetings that have been held
have , in a largo measure , confirmed our sus
picions that the movement for the shortening
of the hours of labor , as much ns the same
might bo desirable , Is not a general demand
of our fellow workmen , whom wo would bo
willing to follow , but rather an effort of a few
individuals , heuco the meeting of last Tues
day has not turned out as the originators con-
tct'nplatcd. It docs not follow because we are
not willing to do what wus asked of us nnd
put ourselves In the lead of this move that wo
are not ulivo to our own interc-ts and nre
cowardly in protecting them. No , sir. On
the contrnrv , wo are ready and willing to
protect them , but it must bo nt nn opportune
time and with some prospect of getting our
game.

MONMOUTII PAHK , August 15. To the Edi
tor of TIM : Bnc : The general condition of
things in this community , the last few
months , bus been very unfavorable for Iho
work of completing this institution , but in
spite of everything the work has slowly but
steadily gone on. Tlie contract for complet
ing the present hospital was let in June.
About one month hence the budding will be
finished , except the plumbing tad beating ,
the contract for which has not yet been le
for the only reason that wo have not the
money. When public-spirited citizens of
Omaha consider that the sisters trained to do
thu work of charity in this hospital , are now
ready and that a general practical institu
tion of this kind Is &o very much needed ,
would it not bo-u great rtenl better for every -
bodv to help us to finish tills hospital at once ,
Instead of talkinir so much nbout
building other hospitals ? When the Iminan-
uul hospital is so near completion , s-houhl
this work now bo allowed to stop for the ?
want of a few thousand dollars ! Could not j
some good Omaha Indies form nn hospital aid
society nnd in that way help us to get ready
for practical work ? Do not let politics
absorb everything in this.Jour great and good
city of Omaha , but give some attention to B
general nud iiitie.li needed charity. If wo get
the assistance needed the Iinmauucl hospital
will be rendy to receive the siclt about the
llrst of October.
Money to help the cause can bo sent either
to the treasurer , Mr. William L. MeCuguo ,
American National bank , or to the under
signed. What has been secured so fur this
year is acknowledged boiow.

gether with the building of the Tenth street
. ,
vlmluct . , liuvo combined to oblltunito one of
the notiiblo places In tlio city the old Tenth
street crossing ,
Aslilo from having been for years the busi
ness spot of Oinnlin , H was also the scene of
many . nn ex oiling incident nml nmny n lialr-
brciultk esrnpo. Itisuplaeo with n history ,
but to report that history minutely iitul uo-
cnratoly would require rolumiM.
| , ' With the completion of the viaduct , for
the erection of which Divp.ii'.Ulou is now
being made , almost the last traeo of the old
' crossing will bo swept luvuy. IJvcn now , the
removal of the track , the tearing up of the
cubic : line , nml the general overhauling that
is polng on hnvo so clungcd the
I v of the plnco thut its friend
| of former years might well have doubts as to
| Its j Identity. It H not , therefore , strange thtit
the old crossing llngmnn feels lost and lone
some ns ho clumbers through holes and over
i j piles of illrt that mark the old bed of the
tracks that for years he so zo.ilouslv watched ;
and dodges nbout among the workmen who
nro seemingly Intent on destroying every
trneo of tlio old and memorable crossing.
It Is there that for the last live yi-.irs Flag
man ' Johnson mny bo said to have lived nml had
his being. He had beeomo as much of mixture
ns the tracks and electric coups , and will now
of necessity bo transferred with them to.s"ine
other Held of usefulness. The old man does
not tnlio kindly to the Impending change. It
is far too radical and swooping to suit him
and lie is far from being satislled that it wit
prove entirely t-uecessful.
The old man was in a reminiscent mood the
other day when a reporter happened along ,
nnd as there are now only two or three tracks
to watch instead of n score or more as form
erly. ho found plenty of time to recount sorno
of his experiences of the days gone by.
"No. " ho said , 113 he looked regretfully
around , "it aint like it used to bo. H s-c/oms
kind of str.inge , too , to have it ns qnlet as this
nfter tlio dreadful rush that used to pour
tlong hero all day nnd night long.
"I almost get to wondeilng ns I sit hero if
haven't passed into another world. It
seems moro line going into a graveyard and
joingto sloop there than anything else that
cau think of. Thcso workmen mnko nnibo
enough and those fellows over there taking
lown the old 'shed' would almost set nn or
dinary man cra/.y with their everlasting
inmiuuring , but I don't notir-o it. The rumble
of the trains and the crowd hurrying to get
out of the way is what 1 miss , and I can't
iniko it seem natural without it , " and tbo
old man lapsed into silcnco for a few mo-
nents.
"Yes , it was dangerous , too , ns well as
Ively. " ho presently resumed. " 1 have often
thought that it was the most dannerous plaeo
ii thu country. There were eighteen tracks
: nid along hero ] ust as thick as they could
stick , and over there to ttiu west the switches
were thickcr'n scabs on a mangy dug.
"Another thing , those tracks weren't there
'or looks nor just to 1111 up the open .space ,
for the trains were passing over them nil the
, iino. You must remember that this don't
nelude what the U. & M. folks wcro doing
ialf way up the hill. Now that the bank hr.s
jeen cut out. their tracks are down hero on a
evel mid look like a few oxtr.i ones added to
: hc original pile , but when tlio crossing was
open , they were up on the second floor.
\ve had * .iius passing nil the time. Besides ,
ill the regular passenger and freight trains
on the inuiii line , there were the dummy
trains going caeh way every half-hour , the
freights coming up on the hill from the lower
yards , besides nil the switching. I wouldn't
nave minded it very much if it hadn't been
for the switching , but this was right In the
yards , and wo caught the whole of It.
"It str.miro that lots of people weren't
killed here , but clangorous as the plnco was ,
the traveling public was always lucky in getting -
ting across ulivo. 1 have seen plenty of old
rail raid men como mighty near getting
caught hero , nnd scores of accidents have
happened on both sides of it. Women nnd
children have been killed up there in tbo
yards while picking up coal , and many a
switchman and brjkeimn has rolled under
the wheels within sight of this very spot , but ,
somehow or other , the crossing seemed to bo
a charmed spot. I have seen sights hero ,
though , that made me think that some people
hail cli.irmad lives ,
I have seen thorn deliberately take chances
without the slightest oxetiso for It chances
that I would not have taken If they had tilled
the old depot there full of S.'O gold nieces and
offered them to mo.
"Sometimes , I have .yanked 'them off the
track at the risk of my life , nnd sometimes
thev have gone right on through Just on the
strength of their fuel luck.
"It was u good place to study human na
ture , although there was ver.v little time to
put ( u on individual cases. There were al
ways plenty of reckless oare-devlls who
would rather take their lives in their hands
than carry an insurance policy. The more
trains there were passing the better they
liked it. If had
they to climb through a mov
ing freight train mid jump across two or three
tracks in front of an engine they were satis
lied , A flagman never can stop that class of
people. About all he can do is to keep close
watch and see how it happen * , so as to give
reli.iblo testimony whcu subpojnaed us a witness -
ness at the coroner's inquest.
"Of course there arosomo people who nro
just about ns bud the other way. Tlwy would
stand and watch all day for a safe opening ,
and homebody has to pick them up and throw
them across to get them out of the way.
"Thero nro n great many who heem to
travel with the idea that somebody is always
looking out for them. They no thundering
along and you have to handle them Just llko
machines. When there Is a train coming the
flagman has to tell them to wait , and when it
lias passed they must bo ordered to proceed.
They obey implicitly and none of them are over
hurt if the llagniau is attending to his busi
ness.
"I nlways found it difficult to stop the
women. They don't seem to payimy atten
tion to whntb going on I mean the general
run of them. Many n time I have had to pull
them back and they would invariably suy that
they didn't hear mo and hadn't noticed tlio
train.
"The electric gongs were a .great help to
me , and the majority of people pa'd ' hlrict
attention to them oven when they disregarded
my Hag ,
"Thero wcro some folks who didn't know
what to make of it when the gongs ucgan to
riiii ; . It was surprising how many people
from the country would tnko them lor lire
bells. I particularly remember one man who
Wiis right In the middle of the track when the
gong raiif. The train was coming In very
fast , but ho Just got up on his tiptoes nud
tried to take in the wJiolo surrounding coun
try froai I'iipilllon to the HlulTs and between
Florence and South Omaha. I yelled to him
and the engineer whistled , but he wouldn't
have heard Gabriel's trumpet at thut time
and I had barely time to reach him and pull
him to ono siilu as the train whizzed by , Ho
paid no attention to it but kept staring around
us ho asked :
' "Where's thoflroi1
"I had almost the same experience with n
woman , only she said that she thought that
it was the dinner bell.
"It wasn't so bad hero nfter the motors be
gan running to thu Bluffs and South Omaha ,
us that cutoff all the dummy train patronage ,
und that was n great deal of travel , lief ore
that time It was surprising to sco what a
crowd there was , and It never was very
small nt any time , I have noticed repeatedly
when n tram stopped on the crossing for only
n couple of minutes , it would scorn as if
pooplu and carriages hud dropped from the
douds , such a crowd would bo piled up on
cither side. Fifty cariingcj and wngons
could tot together hero in less time than in
any othur plnoo I over saw. I forget now
how many people crossed hero in a day. They
couutal once , und it was several thousands ,
'They put a man on ouch side of tlio crossing ,
nml they counted Jtut as fust as they know
how to keep up with the procession.
"Oh , I know tlioy'ro irofng lo hnvo n big
depot here , and folks will go right Into tho-
second story of U from the viaduct. They
will have to go up aud down" stairs in the
depot instead ot dliablug tuu hill
to t 'tho crtmlng as thev used to do.
I don't know what they will do with HIP. hut
I suppoto I will sandwich In somewhere ,
Some folks think 1 hiwo had a sod plueo
hero , but I didn't Jlnd It so. It kept a man
liv n close wntch , and I can say that no llfo
win lost becnuso 1 was negligent. If there
had been I could never have gotten over It ,
" 1 hated to see them begin to pull down the
old shed. I was In It n couple of times when
0V 0I thought It was going to collate. The llrst
was the time that a couple of sp.ms of the old
bridge were blown out , and the other was
when ' the roof was covered wlthahe.ivy
snow and n rain set in. The roof kept snap
ping 1 and craclilng. and I thought sure It was
coining In. That was an nwful heavy snow ,
and aster It had rallied for a while the snow
slid olT In n bunch. It came awful near
smashing In the depot roof on the south tide ,
and on the north side It completely covered n
itt
train of freight ears. It kept a big gnu ? of
men 1 ! from sunrise until late in the afternoon
to dig out the cars so that an engine could
pull them out.
"There won't bo any freight cars standing
around the now depot , nnd ( hero's lots moro
of us In tlio oamollx. "
And the old man sighed.
