NEw YORK, June 4-Iierr Richard
Goerdeler. a well known German. who
has filed many positions. and who is at
present n professor Of music at Penning-
ton seminary. New Jersey, has lcaped
into sudden notoriety. 1t Il not unusual
for one man to challenge another to a
duel, but it is quite unusual, in fact I'M
~precedented, for a private person to ehal-
lenge a monarch to single combat. GoeI-
deler says he has sent a challenge to no
less a parsonage han Emperor William
OF Germany.
The story OF Goerdeler's life, as he
gives it out, is quite q romance. In 1862
Herr GOerdeler was a lieutenant IN the
Prussian army and was brought at the
time into contact with Bismarck on one
occasion. The story goes he learned that
the chancellor bad ordered a cargo of arms
to be shipped to confederate soldiers in
this country and had expressed a wish
that they might be satisfactorily used for
the purpose OF boring holes IN federal SOL
diers. In some waY or other Bismarck
learned that the young lieutenant had dis
covered this secret and from that IN
began to compass his downfall.
At last the young man, driven to bay,
determined to hit back, and the result
was that be wrote a letter to the emperor,
in which be told his story and asked for
the chancellor arrest and trial. To this
letter he got no answer, but Bismarck was
afterwards deprived of the chancellorship,
and Herr Goerdeler is said to be con
WINGED that his old enemy fall from
power was the direct result of his appeal
to the emperor. Even this amount of
revenge, however, did not satisfy him.
Having been obliged to give up 4 lucrative
position in Berlin. that of representative
OF the Northern Pacific railroad, he came
TO this country and soon obtained employ
ment in an insurance department at
Albany, set his brain to work at planning
further schemes for his old enemy's ruin.
He brooded long over the matter and
finally. after he had left Albany and
secured a position as professor of music
at Pennington seminary, he came to the
conclusion that Bismarck and he could no
longer remain in the land Of the living,
and that one Of them must surely die.
tie sent a long add imperative letter to
young Kaiser Wilhelm, calmly informing
him that he must either hang Bismarck
or hight r du ! with the writer of the let
ter. The full details of the proposed duel
were given IN the letter and the kaiser
was made plainly to understand that Bis
marck must be dead by the hangman's
rope before July 18th, or on that day
he, Emperor William. must face Herr
Goerdeler's pistol in Pleasant Grove, near
Hamm, Westphalia. The duel is to be
fought with hair triggers at eighteen

viding for the free coinage OF United
States silver than it is now VIII the
absolute value of the silver contained in
it, when measured on a gold basis, be in

fession of merely qualified belief in silver
as a money metal2
The Denver congress resolved That
the congress Of the United States be here

their effect work dishonor upon or, il the
least, challenge the sovereignty Of the
silver dollar as an absolute measure Of
values and to restore to silver the place
given it as perfect money by the trainers
OF our government" In the next breath
the resolutions assert that the only
modification Of the above which We will
accept is the limiting of the operations of
the law to the silver product Of the United
States" Even under the terms of the
resolutions themselves is this a complete
recognition of silver Is it as complete
as the recognition of gold? The conspir-
acy charged by the Denver Netos may be
vigorously denied By the Republican
organs which rave suddenly changed
front on the silver question, but the in
sincerity of the restricted coinage people
seems to us self-evident

If you will ask any ticket agent or hotel

you will see hat the Wabash can take

ON GRANT.

The Grafton Of Chauncey Depew at the
unwilling Of the Grant monument in Ga
lena was a really brilliant effort. Most
regulations, he said toward the close Of
his address, ARE forgotten by the sue
ceeding generation, and few survive a cen
fury. In our thousandth year as a nation,
the only statesmen or soldiers Of our first
hundred years whose names will decorate
the celebration will be Washington and
Hamilton for the beginning, Webster for
the middle period and Lincoln and Grant
for the close"
His concluding remarks are well worthy
Of reproduction. '"Gen. Grant was the
product add representative of the best ele-
ment in our social lite. Home and ITS as
sociatiOns have been the training and in
SEPARATION OF our greatest and modest men.
They have come from the class which had
neither poverty nor riches. and which
was compelled to work for the support Of
the family and the education of the child
rem. Its members are God-fearing men
and loving, self sacrificing women. 1t
gave us Lincoln from the
farm, Sherman from the crowded
house OF the brave and struggling
widow, Sheridan from the humble cot
tage. and Grant from the home of the
country storekeeper Of the Ohio wilder
ness. These never lost their sympathy
with every human lot and aspiration, or
the homely simplicity oil their early con
dltions and training. Grant was clerk in
the custom house and president of the
United States, a lieutenant in Mexico and
commander in -chief of the armies Of the
Union, numbering over a million of men,
the unknown junior in a tanners firm at
Galena, and the guest Of emperors and
kings, but the memory Of the church of
his mother was ever visible in his reverent
regard for her teachings. The applause
of soldiers Tor their commander, OF par
tisans for their chief leader, and of the
world for one of its most illustrious
heroes, was grateful, but the sweetest
music for him was within the family circle,
in the loving companionship Of his wife
Aul Ni-lIuItus III but lIhbAit VI MS kIhnu-
children. Though he received such honor
and recognition abroad aud such distinct
ion at home he was always, whether in
the presence Of royalty or OF the people,
a modest, typical American citizen.
Through the verses OF great poets,
runs a familiar strain. through the works
of great mposer an Oft repeated tune,
and through the speeches of great orators
a recurring and characteristic thought.
These are the germs which exhibit the
moving forces of their minds. During the
war II propose to move Immediately
uIon your works. Unconditional
surrender. Il shall take no backward
step Il propose to fight it out on this
line if ittakes all summer, are the beacon
lights OF the plans and strategy of Grant,
the soldier. At Appomattox, The war
is over, " The rebels are our countrymen
again" at the threshold OF the presidency,
Let us have peace on his bed OF agony
and death at Mount McGregor, when his
power of speech was gone, writing to a
confederate general by his bedside, Much
as | suffer, | do it with pleasure. if by
that suffering can be accomplished the
union Of my country" are the indices Of
the lAbors, the aspirations and the prayer
OF Grant, the statesman and patriot.

Brief history of the paiutiug-Jean
Francois Mrllett, the painter of THE
Angelus. finished the marvellous work
at Barbizou, France, in 1859, and being
in want at the time, sold il for 1900
francs. 1t was afterward resold for 49,
900 francs and later sold at auction for
loo, 900 francs, and was finally, in July,
] 1889, purchased at auction in Paris by
the American Art Association for 553. 900
francs, (SllO, 900 and brought to New
York, where 1t was placed on exhibition
and was visited by 1900 people paying
$37, 900 for the privilege Of looking at it.
The painting is 2I4x25! inches in
size. Art Il not measured by inches.
Here Is a brief description of the picture:
1t represents a young man and maiden
pausinR from their work IN the fields to
listen to the tolling of "Angelus, them
selves joining in evening prayer. The
sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm
golden light which gives a peculiar glow
ing color to the surrounding fields. The
young couple have been busy harvesting
the potato crop. They stand quietly in
the foreground, their figures clearly cut
against the vivid background. Their at
titudes express the devout religious senti-
ments of rustic piety. Both send in ST.
lence a feeling prayer to their Maker,
while the bells are ringing the "AnRelus''
(the evening prayer in the belfry of the
quaint little village church, which is seen
far away OF the horizon, clearly defined
against the golden sky.
