The'englne and one mall car on No.

Portland thiB morning at 5:30, went
in the ditch a few miles west of Arl
ington, last night and blocked traffic
until today. No one was "hurt and it
is presumed the train was running at
slow speed at the time of the wreck.
The engine struck a rock and jumped
the track and a car immediately be-
hind it was derailed.. Nevertheless, it
took a great deal of time to clear the
main line for traffic again arid the de-
layed morning trains are now marked

Four Hundred Prisoner :l
, Toward the close of the peninsular .
war, 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne." afterward Field Mar
shal Lord Seu ton . Coiborne. who was
wounded ut Tain vera, had been dis
abled for some time, but in 1813 be
was in uctive service uguin. and when
Wellington urmy crossed the frontier
into F'rnnce he performed what wus in
deed the niost nniuzlug feut of bis ca
reer. -
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Uuury Smith, separated
from his column, he saw 400 French
soldiers passing ulong a ravine below
him. "The only way was to put a good
face on the mutter." he wrote. "So I
went up to them, desiring them to sur
render. The officer, thinking, of course,
the column wns behind me, surrender
ed his sword, saying theatrically, 'Je
vous rends cette epee, qui a bion fait
son devoir.' (1 surrender this sword,
which has done its duty well.) The
400 followed bis example."
Sir Henry Smith used to declare that
be bad never seen such cool presence
of mind as Colborne displayed on this
occasion. London Spectator.
8anger' White Elephant.
"I was exhibiting 'the only white
elephant ever seen in tbe western
world,' " relates Lord George Sanger in
his book, "Seveuty Years a Showman,"
"when I was honored by a visit from
King Edward,, then Prince of Walea
After the performance I conducted the
prince through the stables and showed
him ail there was to see. When we
came to tbe . 'white elephant' stull his
royal, highness suddenly turned to me
and snld. 'Sanger, Is this really one of
the sacred white elephants? i
"To this I replied: 'Well, your royal
highness, a showman Is entitled to
practice a little deception on the crowd,
but 1 should never think of deceiving
my future : king. It is certainly : a
'white' elepbnut in fact, a very white

; "When yog arrive at a railway sta
tion in Berlin," said a professional man
who spent a year In Berlin, "you are
not surrounded by a clamoring crowd
f cab drivers, somo of whom a stran
ger would be foolish to trust. You tell
a policeman what you want whether
a cab or a porter and be gives you a
number. When you emerge from the
station a uniformed governmental em
ployee, ' either cab driver or porter,
stands at attention and salutes you In
a military manner. He has beeu or
dered for you by the policeman inside,
and when he presents his number, cor
responding to the one the policeman
gave you. you can trust Dim to take
you or four luggage wherever it la to
go. The government Is responsible for
tbo safe arrival of yourself and your
luggage at' botel or other destination.
If the porter should run away with
your belongings the government would
reimburse you.
"The police syBtem ts wonderful.
The officers carry no revolvers or clubs,
only swords. Each one has only a
mail beat to cover a couple of blocks
or so that be has time to be the moni
tor of the moral conduct of every per
son in his district Be knows exactly
what each person Is doing, where be it
working, how be la spending bis leisure
time and whether be Is behaving him
self. There Is very little crime, and
the police courts have little business. '
"If you commit an offense you are
not drugged off to a police station. In-
tend, your name and address are tak
en by i hp omcer In the district, and the
next day a letter Informs you that you
hnve been fined an amount In keeping
with the character of your offense.
You lire told I but you either can send
the money by messenger or appear at
the prefect's office for trial ut a certain
time. - It doesn't pay to give a police
man a wrong address either, because
the system is so perfect that they will
find you anyway and One you more.
' "The policemen are t Instructed to
prevent Infractions of tbe law. not to
wait for persons to get Into trouble and
then arrest them. - Euch policeman has
such a small district to cover that you
can find one whenever you want one.
He sees that bis district is kept clean,
that each bouse In it is sanitary and
that each resident gets fair treatment
from his neighbor. Disputes are settled
wlttj no thought of appeal, before they
ever get to the police station. '
i' "Soon after I urrlved I was on my
way to tbe university one morning and
saw a policeman at a cab stand ex
amlning tbe hoofs and backs of tbe
borseSl the harness and the cushions
.'and wheels of the cabs.
