The Bessemer indicator., 1893-05-20

by Herr Magnus. Thanks to their Ell
forts responsible company with linn
tied liability was formed, and to Herr
bernhard Drenburg, Director of the
GermanAmerican 1reuhan Company,
and Herr Schmidt of Omaha, was as
signed the task of making the "German
Pathological Exhibition" success.
Their first work was to obtain suffi-
cient space for the exhibition, and in
this they soon succeeded, nm area of
$4,000 square feet being assigned to
architect, and their choice fell
on Herr Karl lToffacker, one
of the Presidents of the Society of
Berlin Artists and high author
ity on architecture and decorative
paintings. The contract for erecting
the buildings was awarded to a firm of
Franlsfort-on-theM and it was ex-
pressly stipulated that all the wood
work used on the work should be cut
and fashioned in Germany. Thus it
will be seen that the work is not only
of German but also of German ma
terial.
At the entrance to the village is
high square tower with moatway,
script;on. ''ro the Golden Tankards."
in the center of which is music pa
vilion, built in the form of tent. To
the right towers the castle and to the
left extend halls dedicated to convivi-
ality md refreshment. These halls
are noted for their Upper Bavarian
style of architecture, with its green
woodwork and white intersticcs. In
the covered hall n place of honor has
been given to two charming female
busts, modelled by the sculptor Brutt
of Berlin. Adjacent to the halls are
two music pavilions, so that enthusi-
astic Teutons can Mt the same time
quench their thirst at the butfets and
drink in the music of the great Ger
man composers.
But on TO the castle, which is n real
moated stronghold, such MS used to be
built in old times on plains where they
could be protected by water. The en-
trance tower is accessible by bridge,
and has the timc-honored terrace and
sloping roof On both sides are covered
moatways, one of which leads to the
palace, while the other leads to
group of buildings, in which the stew
ardcss spends her time roasting juicy
sirioins for the expected guests. Ar
tistically carved escutchcons ornament
the parapet of the balcony over the
gaze, aHu une uaLe 'loOl SHOWS
that the building was restored in
that year. To the left of the gate
are decorated apartments in which
food and drink are served, and to the
right lisa priceless collection of weapons,
armor, works of art, costumes of Ger
man races and other Northern relics OF
the days of old. Here we see, model
ed in wax, long procession of the
most powerful emperors and national
heroes that Germany has ever posses
sed, from Hermann the Cherusker,
Charles the Great and Barbaross,
down to William i, who after u long
period of dissension united Germany
once more. Near them and doing
them honor stand peasants from every
province in Germany, forming in their
picturesque holiday attire a richly col
ored procession, for German peasants
are of gay colors, sparkling tinsel and
cmbroideries glistening with gold and
silver threads.
Near the town hall, and peeping out
from green trees and brushes, are
farmhouses from the Spree Forest,
Upper Bavaria. the Black Forest and
Westphalia. The Wcstphalian farm
house belongs to the Fricsland-Sax-
onia type, the chief characteristic OF
which is that not only the living
