much about him BEFORE but now be
will be rememl ered His brother, Count
Herbert has made himself pretty well
known by native force Of character and
decidedly fiery temper, which has got
him into trouble more than once. But
Count William, it has been supposed,
was made of milder stuff. The report OF
the duel shows that the superstition was
wrong.
Count William was born on Aug. l.,
1862, SO that he is long past the hot
headetlncss of youth. He was educated
at the University of Konigsberg and
became tavorite pupil of the famous
DR.. Kaiser. His university career was
distinguished not only by his enthusiasm
for student diversions, but also by his
remarkable fondness for duels, during
one of which he was so seriously wound
cd that his life was dospaired Of.
At the Cnparatively early age Of A.
he was appointed to the important pos,
Of Konigshery, a significant favor from
the emperor, which gave the greatest
satisfaction to his distinguished father
and the family. On March IL, 1895, he
was appointed to succeed Count Stolbers
Wernigorode as president Of the prov
ince of east Prussia.
Four days later he made his first ap-
pearance in the reichstag, astonishing
everybody by his remarkable resem.
blance to his father. He is tall and com.
mandiug, the shape and contour of his
head and shoulders, his demeanor Of ex.
IRENE haughtincss and eccentricity in
gesture being the exact facsimile OF
those OF the Iron Chancellor. The mem.
bers of the reichstag remarked, "Only
