Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable. I
BERLIN, April 1S.-There died in Frank
fort the other day local celebrity named
Stolz, who in his younger days had made
himself particularly obnoxious to the Prus-
sian government by the sharpness of his
pen. During the past week friend of the
deceased has overhauled the papers of the
latter and has discovered evidence which
throws quite d light ON the Emperor and
his erstWhile chancellor. 1t appears that
toward the close of the year 1865, Stolz
heard of an order Of Bismarck's to the
chief Of police in Prussia and the Prussian
authorities of Schleswig- Holstein, prohib-
lting the exhibition or sale under any cir
cumstances, of portraits of the Duke of
Augustenburg, then candidate for the
throne of Schleswig, on behalf of his
daughter, the hereditary princess, then a
child of seven. Stolz made use of the in
formation to picture Bismarck as perse-
cutor of babies and the enemy of petticoats
generally, and for so doing, was banished
from his native city, when, a year later,
Frankfort fell under Prussian rule. This
hereditary princess is now the German
Emperor's wife, and although she is the
with politics, it is more than likely the per-
secutions to which Bismarck subjected
her in her infancy, together with
the rest of her family, has en-
Uttered her against the ex-chancellor
The incident, which has only just come to
light, evoked general comment corroborat-
ing as it does previous surmises as to the
hand the Empress had in Bismarck's down
Tall, coupled with his own remark that the
''peticoat camarilia" was not yet extinct.
Investigation into the condition of the
schools continues, and this week the male
pupils of the high schools are officially
warned against the study of philosophy as
affording little or no scope for the next ten
years at least Pharmacy, chemistry, and
architecture having already been tabooed,
German parents are more than ever puzzled
what to do with their boys. A candidate for
high school leadership is not admitted to
examination until after six years. prepara-
tlon at least at a university. He then en-
tiers the army for a years. service and is an
unsalaried auxiliary teacher for next
two years. He is then permitted to send
IN his application for regular employment,
put only in case he has graduated cum laude
is his candidature taken into immediate
consideration. In that case he begins
with a salary of 1900 marks, raising an
nually until it reaches the princely figure
of 1900 marks. The government favors the
withdrawal of the public schools bill for the
current year at least, and if it can be done
without endangering the prestige of the
new minister of education, further discus
sion OF the matter in the reichstag will be
avoided.
1t having been proved the poor man will
not take kindly to the rabbit or Belgian
hare as substitute for prohibited Amer
lean pork, a Hamburg firm imported a
cargo of reindeer meat as an experiment.
The first appearance of the new meat on
Wednesday last found ready buyers at Az
cents, and although highly recommended
for its nourishing qualities by the govern
ment experts, its flavor was pronounced too
tishy for the palate of the working classes
The medical attendants of the crazy
King Otto OF Bavaria have made report
to the effect that there is nothing to hinder
his maiesty's attaining a ripe old age if
only he could be induced to take food reg
ularly. His majesty suffers nevertheless
from fearful hallucinations and all the
carpets have been removed from the royal
castle, as Otto regards them as dangerous
to tread upon.
The landgericht has caused all copies of
Puck to be confscated. The issue con-
tanned a satirical poem on the Kaiser in
volving the crime of leze- majesty.
