All the parties are becoming desperate, and they

President Of the Board OF Education, on the
subject Of the Public Library end the old Gus
torn-House site. The point We have made here
tofore and which we adhere to, ia this: that
the exchange Of tho Bridewen lot for the Gus
ton-House lot was effected for the declared pur-
noge Of securing the latter site for the Public
Library, and would not have been effected other
wise: that the City OF Chicago owrs the Pub
lie Library and the schools, and the school fund
and the school lands, and SELL lease, or other
wise dispose OF the same; that nine-tenths' per-
haps pineteen-twentieths. Of the fund for the
support OF the city schools (~hate7er amount Is
needed over and above the rental OF school
1ands) is raised by taxation; hence that it
makes no difference to tho school children, OF to
the Board Of Education, whether they derive

Having been accustomed to treat with sover-
eigns faco to fnce, he will make no exceptions
in this case. At the same time. it is rather re-
marhable that all Berlin should go about shiver-
ing at the apparition Of the White Lady, and
that grave professors in tho universities should
drop their knotty problems in metaphysics and
theology to discuss the meaning of this last Wis
ita:ion and tho significance OF her failure to cap
tt1ro Hohcnzolern and drag him down under
the castle. to keep her company. 1t strikes US
that q very practical way OF settling the matter
and keeping tho White Lady quiet would be to
place few Prussian soldiers on guard the next
time the Emperor gets cold in the head,
with Instructions to capture her nolen, role'1s
and make her give security that sho will stop

Hohenzollerns are sick and don't want to be

rental from the use Of the Custom-House site
for Public Library or not. In view OF these
facts, We maiutain that tho Board OF Education
should have assigned the Cuetoin-House
property to the Library at q nominal rental, or
il there we're legal and technical obstacles IN tho
way, that the Common Council should have done
go, We consider that it was breach OF faith
TINT this WAS not done, though wo do not locata
it with Mr.. King, or the Board eycS WHICH ne
presldes, We reckon it to be indispntable that
a proposition to exchange the Br'de"eu LOT 1or
tho Custom House lot for mere purposes OF
trade, without a specific object in view, and that
object the accommodation Of the Public Library
would never have been mooted here or enter
tanned in Washington. We reckon that every
body concerned in the transaction, including tue
i've arbitrators named, knows this to be tact.
The subject, however, is no longera vital tissue,
since tho Library Board have concluded that the
Custom House lot is not large enough for the
prospective wants Of the Library. OF course, 1t
would be ample for many years to come, bnt'
looking at the growth of other public llbrnr1es,-
the Boston Library, the Library OF Congress-
the British Museum, etc, they have preferred
mt to be confined to IN area incapable of future
additions. The Custom-HouEe lot, being sur-
rounded on all sides by streets and alleys, can
neyer be enlarged. So the Board of Education

THF GERMAN WHITE LADY.

One OF tho most unacconntable superstitions
of modern times is that Of the White Lady Of
Berlin, whose apparition always 7orebodes tho
dca,h of some member Of the Hohenzollen
family It is all the more singular from the fact
that it is entertained by people SO pragmatlcal
and philosophical as tho Germans, who are ac-
customed to look at things in q very realistic
way. and to trace the relations Of cause and
effect much more closely than other people,
Nevertheless. We are gravely informed that
dnrine the Empe1or's recent illness the White
LADY apoeared at tho castle. and thcrecpon the
peop1e prepared themselves for the iInrnediats
announcement Of death in the royal household.
Tho bluff old Emperor, however, regardless Of
the sheoted apparition or the peoples super
stition, resolutely got Wen again, as
he has done several times before when
the Woman in Whito has troubled herself
to rise from her tomb and go stalking about the
castle with noiseless step. The legend Of the
White Lady is substantially as follows: Several
vaara ago. Hohenzolle1n Princess, q widow with
tyo children, became enamored OF foreign
Prince. and 80 desperate was her affection that
size made q proposal OF marriage to him. The
Prince. however, declined the proposition, fiat
tering as it was, and in his reply aluded to four
ewes which stood in the way, referring to his
aged parents, whom he would not leave even
for such marriage as WAS proposed to him.
Tha infatuated woman fancied he referred to
ber two children, 80 she promptly and thorough
IL cot rid OF her membranes by suffocating
them. and then wrote the Prince to the effect
that the road waa clear for him. In his
renly to her he revealed the unfortunate mis-
take she had made. The wretched woman,
stricken with 1emorse, fingered day or two in
great anguish, and then died, and was buried
under the castle at Berlin. Not content with
her w1etched work, she is now engaged in the
conmissiouaire business for Death, and delivers
his messages to the Hohenzollerns. It ia stated
ehe has been seen three times within the last
year. once in October Last, just before the death
OF Prince Abrecht last spring, to announce tho
death OF Prince Adeloert; and recently, while
the pouagor-Queon Elizabeth lay on her DEATH
bed.
The White Lady has evidently found tough
customer in the Kaiser, and one who will not
surrender himself except to Death In person.
Whaa Death wanta him. he will evident
