And the
Rector.

At one OF the student dinners which
Bismarck gave. when the fun was fast
and furious. a bottle was thrown
through the window. a policeman saw
il strike the sidewalk and at once re-
ported the affair TO the college authori-
ties. The beadle was at once sent 20
summon the cGlprit before the rector.
When found Bismarck was attired in
particolored dressing gown. riding boots
and high hat With him were two
enormous hounds, his love for dogs be-
ing developed at an early age.
All right. he said 10 the beadle: ''Ill
follow you" And he actually went aft
er the man. dressed just as he was. and
with dog at his heels, the latter never
leaving his master for a moment
The rector was awaiting the culprit In
his study. What was his establishment
at seeing a.n enormous dog bound into
the room with an air which inspired but
little confidence. His first care was to
ensconce himself behind a harricade OF
chairs. after which. trying TO assume a
demeanor suited 10 the occasion. he
asked Bismarck what he wanted.
Me. l want nothing" was the reply.
1T is you. II appears. who have some
thing to say 10 me. seeing that you
have sent me this Dominus de Bis

The rector. whose bearing had been

of the mastiff. now began &c recover his
self possession

first 10 answer II himself. He would

nlitted TO Herr Fried5erg, the minister

sions which he intended 10 use, with
the question whether they were insults
in the eye Of the law. Herr Friedberg
was obliged to answer in the aflrma-
tive.
The prince lost his temper a little. and
declared that in that case he would
rather not furnish any answer. In the
new imperial chancery great precision
was the order Of the day. AT that time

preached. he threw eff his undress uni

to him, and had himself dressed in a

the chief of the imperial chancery ever
went to Varzin.
For 20 years he ruled the empire with
a rod OF iron. But as the years went oy
the despised people began 10 make
themselves felt. He was disinclined TO
admit the fact, but the death OF Kaiser
Wilhelm opened his eyes 10 the stern
truth that unless something unusual
would speedily end.
The Grown Prince Frederick and the
prime minister had been at swords
point fer years. There were various
reasons. One was the opposition OF the
latter TO the marriage OF the crown
prince to Victoria, eldest daughter OF
the queen OF England Frederick only
lived a few months after his accession
to the throne. in March. 1855 and then
Bismarck depended on the boy WilliSm
for q continuance of his power. But the
new kaiser was not inclined 10 sustain
the old chancellor's ideas. and when
Bismarck. feeling the ingratitude OF his
royal master. offered his resignation as
a rebuke. it was promptly accepted. on
March Is 1880. Europe was astounded
at the news. Bismarck's downfall was
complete and almost as pathetic as
that OF Wolsey.
Since his retirement his birthdays on
the chancellor's estates at Schoenhau-
sen. Varzin or Friedrichsruh have
been kept as feasts, with always q
crowd Of notables calling upon him 70
extend congratulations. The latter cha
teau is filed with presents and presen-

is but part of the broad history of our
creative age.
How Bismarck brought about German
unity and the obstacles that he en-
corntered and overcame while engaged
in that work need not here be de-
scribed
How he extended the boundaries of
Prussia by annexing to that kingdom
the dominions of three dethroned Ger
man princes; how he obtained possess
sion of the duchy of SleswicK Hol-
stein: how he seized Alsace and Lor-
raine as the prize Of conquest,> may all
be learned from the historians.
How he brought Denmark to terms by
force of arms; how he humbled the AUS
TRAN or Holy Roman empire in 1866;
how he overthrow the French empire
and dictated terms of peace to France
in 1871, the reader can ascertain by the
perusal of historical works.
There were military commanders and
ministers and diplomatic agents who
played their part in the execution of
Bismarcks designs, but it was Bis
marck who served as the ruling spirit
in all the great events here spoken of.
Bismarck. the paramount genius Of
-
er the young emperor who now rules
Germany assembled the throne in 1888,
ten years ago. The young man and the
old man entertained different opinions
in regard to some questions of imperial
policy. Both of them had a quick tenn
per Each of them was obstinate. They
could not get along together IN the gov
eminent. Bismarck resigned the office
of chancellor in 1890.
After that time and until his death he
lived in retirement in his castle at
Friedrichsruh as the owner of a .spIen-
did domain. Even after he left office he
was frequently influential in determin-
ing the policy of the imperial govern
ment, and he constantly gave out his
judgment upon public questions through
the newspaper press. In recent wears
| the emperor repeatedly sought his adj
vice. and he strove to establish friendly
relations with him by honoring his
name and visiting him and sending him
gifts. He could not give him any new
| title. for he was long ago raised from
the rank of count TO the dignity Of
prince. We hear from Germany of the
mourning for the death of Germany's
strong man"
In two things upon which Bismarck
| had set his heart when he was in power
! he failed. He could not. with all his
! efforts, reduce the Roman Catholic
! church to subserviency to the govern
/ ment, and he could not. with all his
I Draconian laws. destroy socialism. 1t
was long and bitter struggle that he
/ had with the church but he was dis
comfted. and the May laws were re-
/ pealed. It was shameful cruelty that
. he pracuced upon the socialists. who.
/ however. increased and multiplied IN
! der it, He could not overcome the con
science or faith OF the people Of Ger
many. He was an enemy OF popular
freedom. He was the Trainer OF q
mighty military empire.

Leaders in National League Met

The great game of basketball between
the Corcoran Cadets and Carroll Insti-
tute. which has for some time been the
talk of the hooters, was played last
night in the institute gymnasium and the
CAROLS surprised the leaders by winning
by the score of I TO 4.
After the first half it was a game of
see-saw and kept the large crowd, one
of the largest of the season, at fever heat
until the last goal was thrown. 1t was
one of the cleanest and best all-around
games played in the National League Sc
ries Both sides gave a splendid exhibit

The result of this game ties the two
teams for first place and from now on the

first half the score stood 4 10 / in favor
of the CAROLS and they looked like easy
winners, but the Cadets were not easily
downed and with only five minutes of

score on splendid overland throw from
