Marie Bashkirtseff stories never come to
an end. Some one having written to the
Pau Mall Gazette about having once met
her in Rome, that remarkable young
woman's mother tells the editor that the
correspondent was mistaken, as his de-
scription is inaccurate. He had spoken of
Marie's piquant figure, finely shaped arms
and "lack of facial beauty" her nose be-
ing too short, her eyes too oblong, and the
curve of her mouth too severe"

A PROFESSIONAL BURGLAR.
Many Houses I:Obbed-He Was Discovered

MANY HOuses 1sObbed-He was Uncovered
Last Night, but Escaped.
There is a professional burglar in the city,
and his many operations have puzzled the
police almost as badly as those of the notorious
Ghost Robber,' who was finally captured and
put away for score of years. This daring
burglar has thus far managed to rob a number
OF residences in the vicinity of Massachusetts
avenue between 18th and l4th streets. In each
instance he gained entrance through the sec
ond-story windows while the occupants were
down stairs, and until last night he always sue
ceeded in getting off unnoticed and with a con-
siderable amount of plumber. Among other
houses he robbed was that of Senator McPher-
son.
Last night he visited the residence of Mr.
Martin F. Morris, No. 1914 Massachusetts ave-
nue.. He climbed over the wall in the rear and
from the yard he climbed up the porch and got
through the window. He then got into the
room Of Mr.. Morris sisters. He raised the
light. which had been turned down low and
this attracted the attention of the ladies, who
went TO the room 20 ascertain the cause of the
bright light. and saw the burglar searching the
bureau drawers. The ladies were between the
burglar and his only avenue of escape. and. to
clear the way he pushed them botL down, but
did not injure them badly.
Rushing to the rear window the burglar
climbed out. slid down the pillar of the porch,
scaled the wall and escaped

who had gathered in front Of the house.
The ladies got good look at the man. but in
the excitement they did not get good descrip-
ton of him. He is a white man, and the police
have no doubt that he is the man who has been
doing all the robberies in that neighborhood.

THE HIGH SCHOOL LECTURES.

DIR. Bernhardt Talks to the Pupils About
GOethe's Lyric and Epic Poems.
Yesterday at the Washington High School
DIR. Wilhelm Bernhardt gave the first of his
four lectures on Goethe, more especially on
GOethe's lyric and epic poems. Fifty years
ago. said the doctor, Germany was to most
Englishmen and Americans 1.-THE vacant land Of
gray vapor and chimeras." Today things have
greatly changed; readers of German in both
countries have increased hundred-fold. What
Carlisle and Lewes have done toward popular
izing the study of the German language and
literature, and especially the study of Goethe
| in England, has been accomplished by Emerson
and Bayard Taylor in this country. In his
Studies in German Literature Bayard Taylor
says: 'If cabinet picture will suffice for
Klopstock and Wieland, a life-size sketch for
Leasing and Schiller, feel the need of cam
vas of heroic proportions when come to por-
tray Goethe, the god. as he might be called,
who sits alone on the summit Of the German
Parnassus." In what consists that particular
grandeur of Goethe? First in his universal
| ity. The general rule among men being that
achievement is the result Of con-
centrated effort in direction.
Goethe reversed this rule; the broader
his field of action became. the more splendid
was his achievement. He has cultivated and
brough. to perfection every possible kind of
roetical and prose writing: he is the acknowl-
edged master in lyric epic and dramatic po-
| etry. including the operetta and vaudeville; he
excelled in novel and short story writing in
| description Of travel biography. didactics and
rhetoric; even the exact sciences, as optics,
botany, geology and meteorology, were treated
by him in a mastery way. 1t is well known
that by his studies in osteology he discovered
| the intermediary bone and also that his
''Sciente of COlors' for a while accept I'd as
having superseded Newton's. Thus Goethe is,
Ito quote Emerson, 1.-THE soul of his century.
the type of culture, the amateur of all arts and
| sciences and events" Goethe is also the most
| subjective poet in German literature; not only
his poems, but his dramas and novels, are
fragments or the grand confession of his life"
The metrical form OF his poetry and the style
! Of his prose writings come near perfection. his
| diction being at once concise and full, rich.
| clear. unpretending and mclodious. DIR. Bern-
| hardt showed how well GOethes poems may
| serve as a commentary to the great poets life;
| then he pointed out in what their characters
| tic and peculiar beauty consists and how in
every one of them dictiOn and rhythm are
united in perfect harmony.
An interesting feature of this lecture was the
| reading of some of the best English transla-
| tions Of about dozen of Goethes most famous
poems by Miss Lewis.
| In his next lecture. which is to take place
| Wednesday, March IL, DIR. Bernhard will dwell
| upon Goethe's dramas. "Goetz Won Berlichin-
gen" "Egmont," ''Iphigenia auf Tauris" and

THE LATE MICHAEL THOMPSON.
A Lawyer Who Added Much to the Legal
Literature of the District.

The STAR recently announced the death of
Mr.. Michael Thompson, formerly leading
member of the Washington bar. The death
occurred at Bastrop, Tex. Mr.. Thompson was
sixty-seven years old, having been born in
| 1924. He was admitted to the Washington bar
in 1850. Soon after commencing practice he
| was associated with John c. Devereaux of New
York city in practice before the Court of
| Claims and he also assisted Mr.. Devereaux in
the preparation of his digest of the earliest de-
cisions of that court. which labor is duly &C.
knowledged in the body of the work.
Col. Thompson was employed for several years,
as he could get time from the more arduous
labors of his practice. in preparing an abstract
| of the collection laws of the District of Column
! bia which was published in Browns Collec-
\ ton Laws" This work was highly commended
| by the profession. He also compiled and pub
lished an Abstract of the Laws of the District
| of Columbia. which met with great favor The
! legal work, however, by which Col. Thompson
! is best known is his Analytical Digest of the
! Laws of the District of Columbia" This work
met with the entire appreciation Of the leading
| members Of the Washington bar and was until
4 n few years ago. When the accumulation of new
| laws rendered it somewhat obsolete. found in

iul in the prosecution of divorce cases. but his
! practice was by no means confined to this class
of cases, for he has been sole and leading coun-
sci III many important chancery and civil law
i cases involving nice questions Of law. In the
/ great contest of the De Vaughn will case in
which he was opposed By Messrs. Moore and
Bright, Hughes, Denver and Peck, he succeeded
in establishing the claim of his clients to quar-
| ter of million dollars. During Col 1homp-
| son connection with the Washington bar he
probably had more law students and brought
more Young men TO the bar than any otner
lawyer in Washington.
Col Thompson had taken every degree OF
Masonry ob:ainable in the United States. At
the time of his death he had under preparation
and had almost completeda Digest OF the Laws
