found dead in bed The cham bermaiSi

In view of the determination of the

Is that the majority Of the powers being
favorable TO a joint guaranty will exe-

Mr. Sterns consular services at Bam-

NOTED exports OF roofing slate to the

Americans the contract for Bamberg

ever, under financial obligations incurred
in st. Paul prior to his appointment
This embarrassment greatly depressed
him, although it is understood the diff
Guilty was settled some time ago
Ultimately he got into morbid ana
gloomy state OF mind. He imagined that
as a. Hebrew his American colleagues In
Germany disliked him and also that his
Hebrew status prevented him from Sc
curing government promotion. On GER
tain public occasion in Berlin year ago,
Mr.. Stern felt aggrieved at the tone OF
speeches made by two prominent Ameri-
cams who We're present. He thought the
speakers meant to befittlc him as q He
brew, eli of which was purely imaginary.
During the last twelve months this
morbidness had grown into settled mel
ancholia and he entirely refused all work
except duties OF az purely routine CHAR
acter. This resulted about month ago
in his removal.
From that moment his mcroseness
noticeably increased, but he fingered in
Bamberg, disregarding the advice of his
friends that he should return to the
United States, where a responsible posi-
ton was open to him. He leaves a
widow, but no children. It is understood
that his accounts are in satisfactory
condition.
