FRIEDRICHsRUH, HIS HOME IN RETIREMENT.
doubtedly gave passing interest in the
printed page to thousands of readers,
but 1 have always been sorry she did it
and have often wondered if her success
with that production added one more to
the list of permanent scribblers in the
world.
Since his retirement Bismarck has
lived most of the time at Friedrichsruh
This one of Bismarck residences is di-
rectly on the line of railroad between
Berlin and Hamburg, only eight miles
away from the old free city. 1t was
originally crown palace belonging to
the king of Denmark before the duchy
of Lauenburg was wrested from the
Danes in 1854, and incorporated with
the Prussian province of Sleswick- Hol-
stein, and the king of Denmark still
numbers among his titles that of the
Duke of Lauenburg. Friedrichsruh was
given to Bismarck by Emperor William
in 1871 after the conclusion of the
Franco-Prussian war. 1t was part of
one of the emperor s three most valuable
gifts to his powerful servant, but only
part, Tor the fine old estate was ac-
companied by 1. 900, 900 thalers. With
another of these gifts, voted to him at
the close of the Bohemian campaign,
Bismarck purchased the estate at Var
Yin, so well known as one of his homes,
md the third and most important was
| received on his SEVENTEEN BIRTHDAY. and

tude Of semihostile states; to make over
the map of Europe, and make it ''to
stay''-at least while his own life
should last
It is small wonder, when this is re-
membered, that the Germans, who are
more loyal to the Iron Chancellor than
to any other living man-as a man
should begin preparations weeks before
hand to celebrate his eightieth birthday
as no mans natal day was ever observed
before. Some notion of the preparations
entered into as long ago as the 1st of
March may be gathered from the fact
that his physician, DIR. Schwenninger,
then declared the festivities must be
spread over a week or ten days, lest by
reason of the prince advanced age and
accompanying feebleness he should not
be able to survive the excitement. It is
not likely that during the years yet
haply remaining to Bismarck be will
ever forget this year S wave Of affection
ate remem brance by his countrymen, nor
indeed that any one present at the cele-
bration will, either.
For years it has been the custom to
celebrate Bismarck's birthday more
heartily, though not perhaps SO mag
nificently, even since his retirement
from power, than the emperor's. For
years, too, his abiding place, whether
at the capital of the empire he created
or at one of his three homes, has been
the objective point of a steady string of
visitors, and the prince himself has not
been looking forward TO the celebration
of this year with any but the pleasant
est anticipatiOns
In spite of his often told of brusque-
RE, Otto Won Bismarck has always been
a most charming host, and it is not re-
corded that he ever treated guest, nc
matter how trivial the object of his
visit, with anything but the most con-
siderate courtesy. Very many who have
made pilgrimages to his residences have
been actuated by curiosity only, while
very many others have gone to see him
solely that they might produce copy for
| the newspapers or the periodicals. Once
a young American girl called upon him,
as she naively explained, simply to see
how he would treat a young woman
from the new world. His reception of
this girl was consideration itself, and
she went away SO charmed with the
man who had been the real ruler of Ger
many from the time it was anything
more than a name till a year before,
that she told her friends about it with
glee, and they persuaded her to adopt
the dark practices of copy makers and
write the interview up. It was good
story that she produced, one that un-

consisted of a portfolio containing tbs
title deed to the estate of Schoenhausen.
which had been bought for l., 800, 600
marks from the man who, half CEN
tury before, in times of financial depres-
sion. had purchased the estate from Bis
marck's father. This gift from the en-
peror is spoken of as the most impor-
tant of all, in spite of the fact that it
was not the most valuable. But Bis
marck, Notwithstanding his warlike and
businesslike qualities. is and ever has
been a man of sentiment, and the Schoen-
hansen estate, his ancestral home, is
easily first in his affections of all his
possessions.
Bismarck's expenses have been much
smaller since his retirement than they
were during his official career. They are
still considerable, however. one of the
important items i'll his yearly outgo be-
ing the amounts expended for the main
tenance of his many guests. Here are
some figures made year or two ago,
showing approximately what his vari-
Gus properties yield:
Sale of timber from Friedrichsruh 49, $50, 600
Agricultural produce from Friedrichs-
Agricultural produce from Varzin. 1850
Agricultural produce from Schoen-
hausen o0oo
Total .$87, 800
This income may have suffered some
reduction during the last few years and
perhaps cannot be regarded as net, above
the expenses Of running and maintain
ing the various estates. Besides it is IN
derstood that there are mortgages ag-
gregating a good many thousands upon
the various places. Still there is no
doubt that the ex-chancellor is very
comfortably fixed" for the rest of his
life
Bismarck's declining years are being
passed i'll an atmosphere of the greatest
tranquility, a tranquility that affords
a most striking contrast to the years OF
storm and stress that made up his youth
his early manhood and his middle life
and extended we'll into the period OF
| age. He has ever been a man of strange
ly contradictory qualities. He conceived
and largely planned the conduct of some
of the most important, most sanguinary
wars in the worlds history. yet his Ill
innate object was always profound
peace.
In person he is large and massive,
and SO far as his official acts were con-
cerned was always as imperturbable as
if he had been carved out of granite. yet
his nerves were as high strung as those
of a delicate, sickly woman, and there
have been times when it has been abso-
lutely necessary for every one abiding
in the house with him to maintain the
most perfect silence. A ruler over men,
being perfectly capable of mastering
the most turbulent human combina-

tions, he has always been great lover
of Gods four footed creatures. His
fOndness for his dogs has ever been ono
of his most conspicuous personal char
acteristics, and he has often said he
could trust these dumb companions far
more implicitly than he could any hui
man friend, while for the grim man
whose genius united the German en-
pire four footed creatures have always
fully reciprocated the regard bestowed
upon them.
1t has often been said of Bismarck
that he was loved by the women as
much as he was feared by the men, yet
domesticity has always been one of his
chief virtues. The affection subsisting
between himself and his wife was q
really touching thing to see, and his
grief when she died not long ago was
profound. The story of his tempestuous
courtship has often been told and has
probably never been duplicated. In his
youth he was an extremely wild fellow.
He was duelist, a hard drinker, fan
tastic practical joker, and he had NO
rivals in these directions in all Ger
many. Indeed his days as student were
days rendered burdensome to the tutors
and the professors of the university he
attended
For some time even after he left
school his career was lively and pictur-
esQue, but finally having met the charm
ing Fraulein Puttkamer, he started out,
as he told one of his friends, on chase
for wife. The young lady s family did
not fancy the cratic, hard drinking
young fellow and let no opportunity
pass for acquainting him with their SEN
timents. This, however, did not abash
him in the least. When he was quite
ready TO claim her, he did so by putting
his arm about her in the presence of her
father and mother and an assemblage of
relatives and announcing his intention
of marrying her. There was bit of a
storm, but it suon blew over, and the
young girls parents never had occasion
to regret the winning of their daughter
by Otto Won Bismarck
The only time in all his life that any
thing in the least approached scandal
was breathed about him came when no
allowed himself to be photographed
many years ago in company with Lucca,
then one of the most famous singers in
the world.
Between Bismarck and the cantatrice
there was nothing but a casual acquaint-
ance. The singer realized, however, that
to be photographed upon the same card
with the most powerful man of Europe
would advertise her better than any
thing else that could be devised She
| had the temerity to ask his consent, and
he had the good nature to acquiesce.
| The result was all Lucca could have de-
sired in the way of an advertisement,
but it brought to Bismarck a kind and
degrne of notoriety that he had not an
I ticipated and led to his being very care
full never again to be entangled in q
similar way. NJ L DEXTER.

a New Well Has Been Finished Which
1T is Claimed viii Increase the sup
ply.
The Topeka Water company is making
. desperate effort to avert the calamity
threatened it by the city council and an
outraged COMMUNICATIVE forfeiture of
its charter.
Since it was discovered that the supply
Of water was of a poor quality and the
pressure totally inadequate and that the
company is falling to carry out
nearly every provision of its contract
with the city, the company con-
cluded that something had to be done
at once. An immense we'll was accord
ingly started on the sand bar near tn 9
headquarters west of the city, and it has
Just been completed. It is fifty feet in
diameter and it is claimed that it is six
teen feet below low water in the river.
The company expects to take 100000
gallons of water from this well daily,
and with that taken from the old system
of drive wells they think that there will
be no difficulty in supplying the city
with plenty of water OF good quality.
Another new Holly engine has been
ordered with capacity of 100000 gal
Ions daily, and this will double the
present capacity. The new engine will
probably be put in place within two
