TRADITIONS OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE

nrlcn of the Kntlicrlnntl ,
ICA8SKiSept. -fSpoclul Correspondent
to THK HER. ) The traditions ot Iho tires on
Oonnnn empire rest rnntnly upon Ibo good
generalship of Us grc.itoU rulers nnd the
wnrliuo abilities ot Its people. The unity ol
Germany has been secured only with cen
turies of stubborn fighting by soldiers
drilled Into i Igtd discipline. And'no ono can
bo long In iiorlln without having this mili
tary basin of the Imperial government vividly
impressed upon his mind. Everywhere art
monuments to military horoos.hronzo stntuoi
of armored kings or leaders , streets and
Bquaroi bearing names famous In the annals
of war. Hero In Qcrmany thosa members
of the reigning family who have carried the
Prussian flag to victory form the center of n
popular halo. They nro the principal charac
ters with whom the historian has to deal and
the princes of the royal family take pride in
sllmulullng the Interest In their Illustrious
nncostors. .
The military basis of the Prussian stale
grounded by Iho QrcatKlcctor.camo into full
being under Frederick II. Great In war ,
lie was almost equally great In peace and loft
many monuments of tits activity In both
Holds. These are lor the most part concen
trated nbout Potsdam , nlt-oady before his
tlmo the royal residence. Potsdam , with Its
fX,000 ) Inlutbliants , now reached nfor [ an
hour's ' rldo by rail from Berlin , wasof com
paratively more Importance thnn now , when
iTrodorick draw up wllh his own nnnds the
outllno. plans of his Sans Soucl palace.
Though tnoru Is a whole cluster of royal cas
tles in the neighborhood , as well as one in
the center of the city Itself , Sans Soucl Is
the most Interesting of all , nnd consequently
ntlracts the grcalcst attention from
visitors. It Is a one-story stiucluro Just nt
tbo crest of a knoll and commanding a beauti
ful view of the environs. The cardons uro
laid out in elaborate terraces nnd dotted with
statues and fountains. The cenlro of the
building is flunked bylwosymmetrlcal wings
in true classic style. The rooms are still
maintained as used by Its early occupants.
The apartment formerly assigned to Vol
taire is richly furnished and the walls decor
ated with handsomely painted wood carving.
In the other rooms the walls nro hung with
paintings by artists , mostly French , contem
porary with Frederick II. Among things
shown are his desk , his favorite edition of
Voltaire's works and other books. Frederick
was so far Influenced by his leaning toward
everylhlng French that In writing his own
will ho preferred lhat language to his native
tongue. Hero , too , Is displayed the Identical
clock which Iho great Ftedorlck was uccus-
tomod to wind to bo sure n very insignifi
cant looking clock whoso nnnds continually
remain slatlonury nt twenty minutes past
two. And the olllclal guldo maintains n very
slrolgbt face when ho tells the story how
thu clock .suddenly stopped on Iho very day ,
hour and minutothat the victorious monarch
died and how to this day no ono has ventured
either to wind the works or to move the
linnds.
Bo that as it may , the fact that the great
Frederick did din is amply ntlosled by the
existence of his tomb and sarcophagus in the
Garrlsonklrcho in Potsdam proner. The
church is simplicity itsolf. Tno only docor-
nlions are of n purely military character seen
in the tasteful festooning of the flags and
standards captured from the enemy during
the present century by the Prussian nrmy.
These taken from Franco during the war of
the liberation and later In 1870-1 are most
numerous as mlgnt bo expected. A signifi
cant change Is noticoaolo in the French flags
captured before nnd after Seaan which
marked the lurning point when iho
Imperial eagle was dropped from the stnnd-
nrd , nnd Iho motto , "Hopubliquo Francalso"
again Introduced.
In this plain garrison church , iramodialely
back of Uio chancel Is the vault of solid
mabogany.llkowlso unostentnllous , In which
re ese the remains of Frederick the Great ,
within the metallic- casket unmarked and
monumonlod save by his name. Tno impos
ing grandeur of the tomb ot Napoleon In Uio
Invalldes In Paris , the elaborate ornatoness
of the sarcophagus of Maria Theresa In the
Capucino church at Vienna.arolioro replaced
by an extreme stmullclty none the loss im
pressive. The body of Iho father of Fred
erick II. who had erected ihe church , has
also found a resting place beside that of his
son. The sacristan relates lhat In order to
BOlomnizo Its binding force , the
famous triple alliance between Frederick
\Yilllam 111 of Prussia , Emperor Nicholas
of Kussla and Francis of Austria against Na-
uoloon , was agreed to in this vault and over
this casket In the nrcsenco of only the queen
of Prussia ns witness. Than , as n strange
coincident o , Napoleon himself , just ono year
later , after shattering this very alllanco In
the batllo of Jena , came lo visit , Iho Ic-nb of
the greatest of Prussian raonarchs In which
that alllanco had been formed.
The llohotuollern museum established In
Iho old Monbljou palace nt Berlin continues
the historical association of the members of
Iho royal family as shown In llielr remaining
personal efforts. In the miuoum nro collect
ed the most Interesting personal rollcs and
inomontoca connected with the Ilohon-
zollotn museum past unu proiont. The si/o
and variety of the display U surprising.
'
While some rollcs of earlior'timos are exhib
ited , the special rooms devoted to particular
princes ooglu with the reign of the Urcnt
Elector in the latter part of
the eleventh century. The uniform
nad equipment worn In battle DV Iho prince
attracts moil attention. The fifty years bu-
twcon iho Great Elector and Frederick the
Great nro well represented , but with the lai-
1 ngali > appears the military character of

William II. . iho present Garmai emperor
dovQtes much of his tlmo to his duties ns
head ot the Imperial nrmy and porsonullv su
pervises the annual parades nnd mantuuvres.
I had ueiml so much of the excellence of the
German soldiers that an invitation lo visit
friends In Kasscl and at tbo same tlmo to see
the Eleventh army rorpi was bv no moans
unwelcome. A hearty reception by Mr. Her-
lot , ton years eco a resident of Omaha , did
much to inaUo up for thu ineonvouionco of u
long and Unity rldo by rail from Horlln.
Kossol , In ordinary times a very attrnotlvo
oily , was doubly Inviting In lu gala clolhes
of yarl-ooloied llacs , fosloons nnd greens ,
uniformed soldiers were everywhere , The
emaresii hao already nrrivoii on Thursday
out ! was Immedlttlely Installed behind a mill-
tary guard in the castio at Wllbolrashuiuo ,
the snmo In which Napoleon III. spent soyl
nrol months of pleasant Imprisonment lust a
dccaao ngo.
On the evening of the lllh , the main thor
oughfares of Kassel hold almost all the In-
hkbltauls and strangers in the city , Pine
illuminations from lamps giving llghlt of
different hues brlghUmud the lively scone.
Every ono sought the boil passible position
on the routo. Mr. liorlet is president of the
Merchants' association , ono of iho societies
which ilrow up In line lo greet the cmporor
when ho should pass , and so for the tlmo
pottic , I Imagined myself a temporary member -
bor , took my place lu aho row ana awaited
the appointed time. It was nol long of lor iho
carriage containing the empress hail bur-
rlodljr passed down the slmot toward the sta
tion thut the procession made lu appearance.
Astdo from the military escort there wns
llttlo pomp or dltpliiy. Tbo Imperial couple
wcro driven In an opan carriage. As they
approached , haU nil along the Una were
lifted and exclamations of applause burst
from tbo cnllro crowd. I would sav
that the empress anpoaro'l to ba
very good looking pretty but not hand
some. Her figure Is of graceful
proportlors ; her complexion considerably
darker than lhat of the omnororvho Is n
pronounced blondo. Thn cmporor were a
uniform of Iho blue hussars , Ills facial foa-
lures express a clcoMvo firmness more Ihnn
any other ono quality. He bus nn Intelligent
look , but not exceptionally more intellectual
Ihnn oilier men In public life. Judging from
his former ntclurcs iho acquisition of hU
yellowish brown beard , though It may mnko
him appear older , Is no Improvement lu the
wuy of beauty.
The pilgrlmngotolho parade grounds began
brluht nnd early yeslcrdny morning. Cltl/t-ns
and soldiers , carryalls , wagons , carriages , nil
were mixed In it promiscuous crowd , busier-
Ing in ono direction. The road wns long , lint ,
iluuy , but iho oniorprlso of several wide-
luvako vendors afforded thu thirsty way
farer opportunity to Invest In German boor
nt numerous points of the Journey. A level
plateau baa been laid out for the parade and
a grand stand erected just opposite the plnco
of review. The atldtcnco assem
bled in good tlmo uud the .soldiers
too , were promptly drawn up , bul the 3
o'clock appointed for Iho arrival of the Im
perial couple was certainly delayed nl least n
hiilf hour. At last they npmmrcd , riding at
Iho head of a numerous attendance nnd amid
the blasts of tru'iipoU made Iho circuit of
iho iroo'ps , The horses ihen wheeled about
and caino lo a stand , faciuc the open space in
front of Iho tribune where the review waste
to occur. The Imperial conplo wcro clad in
pure white , iho emperor In a while uniform
wllh shining silver cuirass and helmet ; the
empress in n white riding haurt nnd plumed
white felt hat.
Just hero came an Incident not scheduled
on the programme. A largo , long-cared rab
bit suddenly made his appearance on the
Held. Hemmed in bctwren Iho lines of sol
diers on ono sldoandiholrlbunonnd audlonco
on Ibo other , the frightened animal Hashed
several times from ono end lo the othnr. To
iho amusement of the spectators it ran for a
distancu of over a mlln the gauntlet
of 150,000 guns ; it almost gra/ed
the horses of the emperor nnd
omprcss and finally ascnpud unscathed and
unharmed , except , perh'apo , from the tire
some running In Its useless flight.
It is not my Intention lo describe a para Jo
lastlnc three hours in detail. The Infantry
first inarched pasl , wilh machine llko pace ,
and certainly made a line appearance wllh
their white trousers , dark blue coats and
glittering hclmots. A change In the regi
mental band , which from Its position opposlto
tbo emperor poured forth a continuous mili
tary march , mnrlted Iho beginning of each
new regiment. Tbo cavalry , comprising bus-
sars. uhlanon and cuirassiers , were followed
by Iho artillery. And us the cannon rolled
by , four pieces abreast , the spectator could
easily have imagined that the fear carriages
were being drawn by ono learn of horses. I
nmnojudgo of military trainini : and disci
pline , but that Iho audience In trenoral seemed
pleased wns evinced by frequent bursts of
npphiuso , particularly when the cadets
from tno military school made
their appearance. I hoard after
wards , however , from a gentleman
who was In n position to know lhat Iho emperor
peror himself wns not altogether satisfied
with the display mat'io by the corps.
Whether the annual parades ana manoeu
vres have any special significance al Iho p.os-
cnt time is difllculi to say. Wherever I have
been in Germany I have found that the people
ple generally anticipate n war in the near fu
ture. They are not anxious for war ; they
dread it , yet dread it with a spirit of doli-
anco. They prefer to have war postponed
from year to joar ns long as possible , but nro
determined to bo prepared in case it comes.
The personal opinion of the emperor Is not
definitely known. His Individual efforts will
have much to do one way or the other with
prolonging the present state of peace , but it
is evident that ho Joins with his people In ap
proving the tlmo worn saying : "In lima of
peace prepare for war. "

in Omaha , and it is a well Known fact that ho
is ono of the greatest of our favorl tes. Ho is
certainly the master-spirit of modern farce ,
nnd Is responsible for the development ol n
higher grndo of farce comedy In this country ,
Ho has always boon associated with the best
of tnls slylo of plays , ano : ho has always been
surrounded by a lot of clever and aUractivo
people.
The now socloly play by Benjamin F.
Itoodor nnd Walter G. Belle ws , "Tho Old ,
Old Story , " which will bo presented this
afternoon ana the balauco of the week
at the Farnam Street Ihoalor by West
& Sabol's company of Now Vork players -
ors , takes ranlt with the most notable dramas
of American lifo. The play will bo found to
bo healthy In tone and brilliant and forcible
lu expression. It is purely American , nnd
ono of genuine human Interest.
Tbo story Is ono of strupglo in a
woman's heart between love and duty , n
common human experience which is always
an Inlorcsllng spectacle. A young woman ,
whoso thoughtful , honest nnturo Is nt least
refreshing to the spectator , feels herself in
duty bound to marry a mnu whom she does
not love and to sarritico n man whom sbo
does love. The motive which Impels her to
this course is comprehensible ; inoro than
that , it awakens sympathy. She consents lo
marrv Iho man whom she does not love , not
merely because ho is the sou of her guardian ,
her closo.it friend since childhood , to whom
she has bton tacitly betrothed , but chiefly
because this man , his father's parlnor In
business , has betrayed his trust , has men-
need her family and its good name with disgrace -
grace nnd dishonor , nnd can only avoid it
with the nld of her fortune. Her confession
to the man she loves nnd whom she puts
asldo from a sense of Justice has , ihoroforo , a
true , spontaneous ring of passion in it. The
play will bo Interpreted bv the following

No. y , was presented to Grand Master Fur-
nas asking that u dispensation bo granted
them for the establishment of Covert lodgo.
U. D.
The request was granted and the dispensa
tion issued that date. It may not bo easy
for any of us , mid inoro particularly these of
limited residence , to fully appreciate the
conditions and circumstances existing u
quarter of n century ago , and out of which
has sprung the present modern city of
Omaha.
The changes that liavo taken place nave
been so constant , gradual and numerous , that
wo foil to tntio note of thorn In the nircrcc-nto
mid wo are apt to associate with uny oven
the surroundings of the present , unless wi
purposely dlreut attention to the condition :
then existing.
Wo are not to consider the Omaha of to
day , with all the improvements added in th <
quarter century , that contribute so much ti
the comforts and enjoyments of life , but t
struggling town , u niero hamlet , with un
paved , dimly lighted streets , flanked or
either side with long frama ranges.
No railroad had reached the town froir
the east. Moro than two veurs
passed before the Northwestern , " the
ulonoer road from the east , reachefl
the river. The town was just then
beginning to outer upon that marvelous
growth Incident to the commencement ol
the Union Pacific railway. The road , what
little there was of it , began on the bottoms
near the present shops , and extended westward -
ward a short distance into the Pl.itto valley
Five thousand would boa liberal estimate
for the population. It is true the town had
ambitions what western town at some time
has not had ? It was tthe capital of u new ,
sparsely settled , but promising lorritorv.ques.
lions ot statehood weto being grapnlcd with ,
and who should bo future governors and sen
ators and congressmen were subjects earnest
ly and eagerly canvassed. On the hill where
the present high school building now stands ,
stood the plain white , .unpretending . capitol
of the them territory , and over all the ques
tions discussed , and for the Httlo town ,
overshadowing all was the question , will it
bo permitted to remain there.
Masonry in the territory , lilco the torritorv
itself , was living for the future. The oarnos't
and devoted men who had it in keening ,
wore then but beginning its foundation.
The grand lodge session for 1S05 was held
Juno 23. There wore then in the territory
but seven chartered lodges and two under
dispensation , with an entire membership of
only 318. Cnpltol ledge No. 8 , the only ledge
in the city , hnd on its rolls only eighty mem
bers. Looking baclt today and judging by all
the conditions then existing , the chartering
of an additional ledge soctnod a doubtful ex
periment. Not so , thought the bravo and
earnest hearts who had the charge in koepj
ing : not so thought Grand Master Furnus
for on July 24 , 1805. lila dispensation was
? ianted for the establishment of Covert
oago , U. D. , naming the following officers-
W. E. Harvey. W. M. ; W. P. Douel , S. W :
.Thomas II. Deles , J. W.
July HI. ISO" , in accordance with the dis
pensation granted by Grand Master Furnns
Covert ledge was Instituted with the oflleers
lamed above , In addition to the following : J.
il. Lucoy , treasuroi ; .M. C. Wilbur , socro-
steward.
The new ledge was named in honor or
fosoph Bcnhntn Covert of Cincinnati , O.
Brother Covert was well known to many of
: ho curly members of the cruft , who speak of
ilm in the warmest praise as a just man and
upright Mason , earnest and indefatigable in
, ho discharge of every Musoric dutv. Forever
over a quarter of u conturv ho was tyler of
the local lodges at Cincinnati and for many
years was tyler of the grand ledge of Ohio ,
holding that position at the time of his death.
Brother Covert was much pleased at the
honor conferred upon him in giving his
Immo to the now lodgo. As a token of his
esteem mid friendship , at a communication
of the lodge hold May ia , 1SUS , n present was
received from him of a beautiful gavel , made
from wood obtained near the grave of Wash
ington. At the next mooting appropriate
resolutions were adopted and forwarded to
the donor.
Small as the city was , it presented plenty
of material from which the now ledge could
make its selections. At the first meeting
live petitions were presented. During the
year titty-two meetings were hold and at the
next session of the grand lodge , Juno 22 ,

cratic ledge , wore hold at Douornllo house ,
her brother , Lord UoneraUo , who succeeded
his father in 172 $ , being wor&hlpful mas-
tor. On ono occasion tbo adventurous
young lady , hearing the ledge was about
to ntsomblo , was auxious to hoer what was
going on , and , according to ono account , sno
concealed herself in a clock , and according to
another she saw thu proceedings of tbo
lodge through u crovlco in the wall. That
she was made a Freemason U undoubted.
though when so made docs not BO clearly
appear. Her portrait In Masouiu clothing
appears In many of the Irish ledge rooms
and relics of Uur are preserved , such as her
apron and chair. In the Masonic library hall
