the untiring energy and administrative
ability of the directing mind behind it does
not detract in the least from the great value
of his services to the fair and to his father
land.
In October, 1891, DIR. Richter was appoint
ell by his government as the colaborer of
Commissioner Wermuth, whom he recent
ly succeeded as Germany's director general
inChicago, and ever since then his time has
been entirely devoted to the labors i'm
posed upon him. Up to last May his work
was done ut home in Germany, and he
worked like II beaver in Berlin and all the
other great German cities corresponding,
urging, advising and delivering public adj
dresses i'll furtherance ofthe exposition and
Germany's participation in it. When the
exhibits had all been shipped, he followed
them over and attended to their installa-
tion. The smoothness and celebrity with
which this was accomplished made Ger
many model for the nations, and his col
leagues from other countries and the
Worlds fair officials, realizing the worth
OF his services, were among the first and
hcartiest i'll their congratulations on his
promotion.
DR.. Richter was born in Kocnigsberg,
Prussia, and is only 50 years of age. He
studied at the university of his native city
and took his doctors degree at Goettngen
In 1879. After practicing law for awhile
he took to farming, and in 1856 was an
pointed government assessor at Posen. This
important post he filled with such ability
that he was called to Berlin to work under
the personal supervision of the minister of
the interior, by whom he has been en-
ployed in variety of important and deli
cate tasks. His services were so well an
preciated by the government that he was
made government councillor in 1890, when
hcwas but 33 years old
DR.. Richter is a we'll built man of me-
dunn height and confident mien. His fea-
lures are clear cut and his blue eyes steady
and penetrating. He belongs to the young
est school of German diplomats, and his
manners are suave, polished and agreeable.

GERMAN BOYCOTTED.
Its Teaching in Chicago Primary
Schools Forbidden

Chicago, April 2S.-The board Of edu-
cation last night, by vote of II to Z,
decided to abolish the teaching of Ger
man in the primary graes of the public
schools.
Il voted for the abolition of German
from the primary grades" said John
McLaren, the president of the board,
today. This action on the part of
the board was to have been expected
all along and it had to come, as it did.
/ believe that its decisiveness is a good
Indication of public feeling on this
question Of extra studies. 1t shows
that these matters which have been
troubling the public schools have at
last been placed in a position before
the board Of education which will en-
able that body to act. 1t has not been
so before this time. The action last
night shows that we are ready for
action and things are now in such
shape as will enable us to go about
the work of reform with intelligence
and discretion. 1 have never been in
favor of elimination. I have always
believed that what we needed most
was reform. We are now ready to
take up the consideration of other
special branches and set out to change
things about it a bit. 1t is my opinion
that certain special branches are good
and necessary, but / do not believe
that it is necessary to have special
teachers for them. The regular teach
ers in our schools should be compe-
tent to give all the requisite instruction
in branches that go to make up the
general education"

public through the medium of printers
ink. In his new organization is a pro-
ject for both a daily and a monthly
publication. He is a rapid wOrkc
and will find time between editori
duties to travel around the country
delivering addresses to mass meetings
of railway employees, the open public
meeting in place of lobby-room secrecy
being feature of the new scheme.
People will be surprised to learn not
only the extent of his acquaintance but
its varied character. He is a warm
personal friend of Ingerson and James
Whitcomb Riley; they interchange con
fidences as frequently as they can get
together. He is on personal terms with
many railway magnates, and his work
in behalf of the democratic party is
best known to the quiet managers of
big campaigns. Last fall he rendered
the Cleveland cause remarkable service
in a quiet way. He was in correspond
ence with all these local labor leaders
in cities whose admiration and friend
ship he had won, and perhaps no other
one man did so much. to convince Or
ganiZed labor that democratic success
was the better result for the working
man. He is a good deal of a politician.
He has served in the legislature and
two terms as clerk of this city. At one
time it was thought that he was ambi-
tiOuS to go to congress, but probably
he has given up that for the ambition
to lead a new labor movement which,
even if it does not succeed, will leave
him in control of well-established
publication.
The new union is planned on very
broad lines. 1t is to include all classes
of railway labor and to some is sug-
gestive of the conglomerate knights of
labor, but Debs believes he sees an
opening for it. No one doubts that it
will speedily attain an enormous mem
bership, but the task for such a man
as he will be IL directing it's policy so
that it may not prove to be of mush-
