Upon the failure of Drunimond Wolf 's mis

nothing practically could be done butte conn

to object to proposals involving ut least one

seem pi ob.iblo that any set ions obstacle wil

number of Amciicau students and pr
fessors. Dr. Morse , of the Peabody ins

to Dresden. Clement It. Smith , profess
of Latin and dean ot Harvard uulvc

not exactly as a student , but rather f
the atmospero of suuly and Icarnii
which surrounds Berlin , Prof. Lincol

on n year's leave of absence from the chair of
iwlltlcul economy In Boston university. Al
bert P. Carman , tutor of mathematics nt
Princeton , is also hero for the season. Among
the younger students now haul nt woik In
Berlin are Hobert Ferguson , Columbia col
lege , class of 18S3 , now a fellow at Union the
ological seminary ; McEccr , fellow of Prlnc-
ton college , and his classmate , Jack , of this

Gamble , both natives of Baltimore and twin
graduates of Princeton college in 1883 , and
the University of Maryland , 1837. Emnin
Miller , of Jeihnstown , Pa. , is In Berlin study'
ing music , but Helen C. Abbott , of Phlla-
ilelphia , who came hero to study chemistry ,
finds Berlin Ideas opposed to the education ol
women In chemistry , therefore she goes ou
to the more liberal Zurich college. Prof. W ,
D. Miller , a graduate of Michigan Univer

Homing before u glorious blazing Octobei

its finest uutumnul glory. Thousands ol
Parisians , each wilh a sweetheart on hii

"orty from the asphalt of the
boulevard for unlimited fllrtatlor
nnd frolic under the grand old oak trees ol
Fontalneblcan St. Germain. Paul do CUB

blight stone bulled by the Now York editon
during the Nicoll convulsions , the tuitanie
symmetry of which was revealed to blushlni
Paris by picluresquo New York cables to thi

however , the political situation is that of i
calm before a storm.

AH the deputies have left Paris to harungu
their constituents previous to the grand bat

Toulon yesterday to make speeches , a youn ;
nnd extremely pretty woman , leading a littl
five-year-old gill by the hand , stepped ute
to M. Maurel , the deputy who accompanies
M. Clcmonccau , and with tcnrs in her eye
shrieked : "Give mo money. It was you wh
separated mo from my husband nnd when

TIIK WEEK IN OEUMANY.
Various Causes Combine to Make ]
An Unhappy One.
[ Copuriu/it / 1887 , lv James Gordon Jtennctt. ]
BEHUN , Oct. 22. [ New York Hera !
Cable Special to the BEE , ] Germany hi
not hod a happy week. First cuino the b
Lelpslej $ ,1,000,000 bank failure , which sei
bank stocks crashing down five or six point
Then , when the small invcslor had sacrifice
his bunk stock and was looking around f <
safe government bonds , came rumors of
Russian war. Finally , just as Ameiican s
curitics began to bo regarded us a sccui
haven for the puzzled German Investor
there came translations of savage English n
tacks on the Baltimore & Ohio deal , whie
served to convince country cnpltalis
that in buying any tyj > o of Amci
can stock they were simply contribu
ing to enrich Jny Gould and to d
press those fortunate enough to bo poor. Tl
week brought the vilest weather and in tl
way of news n constant flow of rumors r
gardlng thcPiinco's Ill-health and the Ei
press1 illness. There has been snow In the
parts of Germany whcro snow was not di
for a fortnight yet , and elsewhere day aft
day of cold drizzles , which makes one of tl
gloomiest of views. Of the constantly j
curring paragraphs concerning the largo thi
monts of war material to Bulgaria , those
whom the weather has loft some Interest
life have had a large field for speculation i
pardlng these shipments , and who has sud-
enly supplied the money which has enabled
Bulgaria to not ouly order , but obtain an lui-
nenso amount of war material from twenty
iff ere ut fh ms , Bulgaria perforce buys for cash
> r not at all. Hence it is Interesting to read
hat the arms ordered months ago in Austria
nnd Germany have unexpectedly been taken
out of pawn to swell the Bulgaria stock.
Drench papers mention in this connection
lint Hcrr Krupp has been visiting his rival ,
ho Iron Prince , but the connection is ridic
ulous , for Prince Bismarck is known to value
mmmeranulm Dialers almost us highly as his
mmrncranuiin gunaulcrs.
The Berlin Post , which is unofficial in
edltoi ial though not in news , prints a thrill-
ng appeal to German women not to buy
; oods of an enterprising French firm which
leluges Germany with dress pat-
cms. To emphasize the desire for
mtrlotism , the Post also points the
alleged French negotiations with a Cossack
rccbooter , who offers to raise 2,000 , savages
o ravage the German frontier in advance
f the French army , fproY'Ided only that the
Trench permit plundering nnd pay a fixed
irlco for German herds. This would sound
'arcical ' even to Germans if the last war had
not so saddened the nation at largo us to take
nYvay the irasslbllity of a comlo view of war.
A.t rumors of money losses Berlin can , how
ever , laugh , and has accordingly indulged in
n somewhat sickly grin at finding that the
Inn of Bcrnhardt , Sandbank .t Co. has
> ccn rulneel by the Lclpsio fulluro. Mr.
Sandbank was a banker , Inappropriate as his
name is to his profession.
There has also been a little mild sclf-pralso
on the part of conservative German papers
it the spectacle of a liberal London daily
> csiegcd by a mob of radical voters.
The real interest , though , is centered in
some government statistics , which show that
o live most cheaply on ham ono must go to
'oseu , while veal lovers get the most for
their money in East Prussia , etc.
In higher circles there has been interest
shown to the Foreign Travelers' club , to be-
.ong to which ono must have been completely
around the world at least ouco.

Many Thousand People
in Attendance.
Perpetuating the Martyred President.
CHICAGO , Oct. 22. The great statue oi
Abraham Lincoln was unveiled this after *
loon in Lincoln Park in the presence of a
argo assemblage. Shortly bofeiro U o'llock
ho booming of cannon slatted the crowd ,
nnd as the echoes elleel away over the uteri
of Lake Michigan little "Abe" Lincoln , a
son of Robert Lincoln , stepped up to thebngcj
of the flag-covered , bron/o llguro of hl $
grandfather and pulled a rope which held thq
covering. The folds slowly unloosened and
hopped elovui at the base , and llio tall , erect
Iguro of Abnuiam Lincoln shone brightly
n the sun , which struggled through the }
clouds nt that moment. A trcw
nendous shout went up from thtt
3,000 , people assembled , which wag
oined a moment later by n renourdroor
'ram cannon. Mr. Thomas F. Withrow , ontl
of the trustees of the Baits fund , out of
which the cost of the statue was defrayed ,
'ormiilly presented It to the Lincoln Park
boarb and Mr. W. G. Goudy replied. The on
atlon was delivered by Hon. Leonard Swott ,
whoso intimate political , social and domestic ]
relations with the gi eat president have made )
him ono of the best Informed men now living ,
on Lincoln's life. As a condensed biography
of Lincoln it has not been excelled.
Mr. Swett said in part : "Tho character ot
Abraham Lincoln sprang up on America
soil and Is of American growth. H would not
liavo been possible for any other soil on the )
globe , or any country other than America , oi
any other civilization other than our own.
to have produced him. Ho was cmpha ]
ically the child of the republic mid thtt
ptoductof our institutions. He was of tha
people nnd for the people. The most marked
characteristic of Mr. Lincoln was his perJ
soiial peculiarity. No one v\ho knew hlu\
over knew another man like him. Hustandi
out fiom the whole world of his time , isolutee
and alone.
His character was that of great dlrcctnew
and extreme simplicity. Clothing , to him
was made for covering and warmth to tU |
body and not for ornament.
Ho never in his life got the better of hlf
fellow man in a trade , nnd never lo.inecl
money on intciest. I never know him but
once to borrow money or give his note. "
Mr. Swett then spoke briefly of the Yvoli
known events which leel up to the election of
Mr. Lincoln as president and continueell
"I believe ho elesircel a seconel nominal
tion , because that involved an approval by
common people , whom ho always loved and
confided inof the couiso which no hud taken.
Ho was often in great doubt during his first
admliiistiatlon jet lie would do nothing anel
would allow no fi lend to do anything to got
it. Ho looked with Indifference over the
machinations against him in his cabinet and
with imlifTercneo over the senate and mem. *
bcis of congress to the action of the common
people , as expressed in their preliminary
conventions and the resolutions of state IcA
islaturcs as most near the people , as though
an electrical chord of sympathy extended
from him to them.
The sublime and crowning characteristic )
of Mr. Lincoln , however , was his
self-reliance. During the cloven years I
was with him at the bar of this state I neve ?
know him to ask the advice of a friend about
anything. During the four years of his ad.
ministration I never knew and hover heard
of his doing this. I never knew him in prep ?
oration of u tiial or the perplexity of it m
court to turn to ills associate and ask his
advice. "
After speaking at some length about Mr.
Mr. Lincoln's habit of inquiring into every' ,
thine for knowledge , and his studies la
middle ago , Mr. Swott continued : -'And
herein may I bo peiinittcel to men
tion another very icmurkablo and
useful trait of his chuiacter.
was that mental equipoise which
disturbed ut nothing und diverted fro
the pathway it has mm kcd out by nothing.
Although prosecuting the war simply fiom a
sense of duty unel not fiom a belief in its suev.
cess , yet he kept right on nnd was neither
depressed by disasters nor ulatcd by sue'cesj.
He seemed to comprehend the magnitude of
the contest in which ho was engaged morp
thoroughly than any other man. In shoit , hh
was the stiong man of tlio contest nnd incut
men at Washington learned to gain icnuwcej
coinage fiom his calmness , to lean upon hla
gie-at arm for support. "
In conclusion Mr. Swott said ; "Wo see
him in his imago of bron/.o above us nnd re
call his i cal presence. All wo know in thai )
in nil time hereafter , whciaver the slave
shall groan under the lush or the poor shall
sigh for somelhing bettor than tuny have
known , thcie his name will bo houoiedaaei
his example imitated. "
