FOR GOETHE ANNIVERSARY.
Memorial Services Planned for Au-
gust % In This Country and
in Germany.

Imposing ceremonies will be held in
this country and in Germany on Au-
gust IS of this year, this being the one
hundred and fifteenth anniversary of
Goethe's birth. In many American
cities, and especially in Chicago, New
York, Cleveland and Milwaukee, there
are Goethe societies, and the members
of these organizations are already max
ing arrangements TO fifty honor the
great poet. Banquets will be held on
this day wherever German-Americans
congregate.
In Germany the ceremonies will be
especially notable. In Frankfort-on-
the-Main a great historical exhibition
will be held, the features OF which will
be documents relating to the life and
works of Goethe. Most of these treas
ures will come from the Goethe
museum and Goethe house in that city,
and among them will be manuscripts,
portraits and copies of the first editions
of his works.
Fifty years ago the anniversary of
has birthday was also celebrated in Chi
cago, the principal figure on the occa-
sion being the learned bookseller, Sol
onion Hirzel, whose fine collection of
Goethe relics is now in the Leipzig Ii
brary. On the coming anniversary
Goethe will be honored at Leipzig not
only by the city. but also by the uni
vcrsity and by the members of all the
theaters.
In Strassburg whittier Goethe went
to study after leaving Leipzig, and
where he formed "A close intimacy with
Ierder, a statue of the poet will be
erected. In the towns, near the Rhine,
and especially in Dusseldorf, the day
will be appropriately celebrated.

DIED TRUE TO HER PROMISE.
ty-Seven Years Ago Until Re-
leased by Death.

The death of Miss Nina Kessinger,
near jackson, o., the other day, adds
the final chapter TO an unusual love
story. Thirty-seven years ago Miss
Kessinger, then living on a farm near
Jackson, o., babe her soldier lover,
John Trehearne, good-by as he marched
off to war. She gave him sacred!prom-
Use to remain faithful. One day letter
came from hospital headquarters an
nouncing Trehearne's death. The nurse
said the soldier with his dying breath
had asked that his sweetheart be in
formed of his death and to state that he
died true to his vows and with her name
on his lips.
When Miss Kessinger finished read
ing the letter she dropped on her knees
and registered a solemn vow never to
leave the farm, but TO remain in seclu-
sion and faithful 10 her soldier lover
unto death. She kept her VOW. Al
though living only a mile from Jack
son, the county seat, she never placed
her foot inside of the corporate limits
of the little city and has never been
more than 100 yards from the farm
which was her own in 81 years.

APERSISTENT SiIl70Is
Miss Helen Gould Annoyed by
Man Who Wants to Marry Ler.
Writes Her Letters, Calls for Her
over the Telephone, and Finally
Appears tn Press His Suit
I'm Person.

"I am a free American and L have
right TO fall in love with Helen Gould
or any other woman if want to. The
fact that l do it doesn't show I'm crazy,
but that I'm sensible" Ole Bracke, OF
Germania, Ia, well-dressed man, AZ
years old, said this when he was ar
rested in New York the other day on the
charge of being insane and annoying
Miss Helen Gould.
He had read so much about the phi
lanthropist that he admired her, and
as he was looking for a wife he resolved
that he would give her chance TO ac-
cept him. He wrote her two weeks ago
that he was coming from his western
home TO see her, but she took no notice
of the letter.
On the morning of his arrest he put
on a new equipment with which he had
provided himself. 1t included a shiny
silk hat, light overcoat, patent leather
shoes and a sunset-colored necktie. He
left the Westminster hotel, where he
was living, and walked confidently up
Fifth avenue to Forty-seventh street,
where Miss Gould dwells.
For awhile he paced up and down.
After making a few laps he walked
up the stoop and knocked on the door.
Detective Sergt. Krauch, who had
been waiting for Bracke, ran up, seized
him and carried him off to the York
vile court.
The detective told Magistrate Crane
that the prisoner had annoyed Miss
Gould for a long time by writing let
tiers to her and calling for her over the
telephone.
''All that is true" Mr. Bracke adj
lnitted, but it is not a crime TO write
TO Miss Gould, nor is it felony TO seek
to converse with her over the phone.
81 am an author of some distinction
and a scholar. AS you see, my personal
appearance is in my favor. In every
way / should be desirable addition TO
the visiting list of any honorable lady"
and he smiled with great self-satisfac-
ton.
"My letters to her were couched in
the most respectful terms" he went on,
land there was nothing in them that
justified the police in effecting my cap
ture."
Bracke was sent to Bellevue to have
his sanity inquired into.

CECIL RHODES IN A NEW ROLE.
south African Leader A mos { breaches
Sermon in Favor of the Sal
walton Army.

Cecil Rhodes appeared the other
afternoon in new role at London, SER
monizing at the Mansion house to the
Salvation Army. 1t was a semiaristo-
cratic function on social work of the
Salvation Army. Lord Aberdeen, Lord
Loeb, Lord Monkswell, and Lord JUS
tice Rigby were present, the lord mayor
presiding.
Rhodes wasn't down on the list of
speakers, but was suddenly called upon
TO address the meeting. He good-hu-
moredly complied, and took off his over
coat, squared his broad shoulders, and
stepped briskly TO the front of the plat
form.
He praised the operations of the Sal
vationists in South Africa. The Cape
cabinet, after inquiring what the army
had done, found it had given homes TO
waits and strays, had picked up the
fallen, and had given them, when re-
leased, another chance in life. He
said:
THE practical form which the Cape
parliament took of the work done was
a vote in aid, which had been continued
since. There are Is other colonies all
told" continued Rhodes, where grants
in aid have been made to the army, not
on a sentimental basis, but as a practi-
cal return for the work the army does.
In my own church there are many dis
putes, but let us put all those details
aside and recognize that we all are HUI
man beings, be it as an officer of the
Salvation Army or as a minister of the
church, engaged in working for the
elevation of humanity"
Mr.. Rhodes donated $1,000 to the
army.

Received from United states
Consul Williams.

An interesting report on the financial
history of Manila mas been received
from Consul Williams, which says: 'ln
old times gold money was used here to
such an extent that silver was at ten
per cent. premium. Later gold was ex-
ported and i'm 1883 already one-half TO
one and one-half per cent. premium was
paid for it. When IL was too late Ia
keep gold here the government pro.
hibited the importation of Mexicans,
and in 1887 joined TO that law decree
according to which only Mexicans
dated before 1878 had any legal value.
So our currency consisted of Mexicans
of older dates than 1878, of Spanish
Carolus and Spanish Fernando dollars,
and great quantity of half dollars.
'The export of the Philippines has
always been greater than the import;
and therefore the tendency of exchange
was TO rise continually, and money be-
came scarcer and scarcer. So it hap
pened that, the import of MeXicans be-
ing forbidden, and no other money pro-
dueed, premium on Hong-Kong went
up to IA per cent. and more. Then some
large sums were struggled in, and the
premium went down again. During
more than ten years our money market
was adjusted by smuggling MeNicans
from Hong-Kong. In 1897 the Spanish
government minted Philippine dollars
in Spain, which contained about ten
per cent. less silver than the Mexi-
cans, and sent several millions here.
The public had TO take these dollars at
full value. We believe that all these
light dollars are still in the country.
The half dollar and 20-cent piece which
the government minted never came to
the full value of Mexican currency
