MOMMSEN IS DEAD
The Famous German Historian and
Scholar Passes Away at His
Home in Berlin.
Death Resulted from an Apoplectic
Stroke, from Which He Never
Regained Consciousness.

Berlin, Nov. 2.-Prof. Theodor
Mommsen, the historian, died at
sCharlottenburg yesterday morning.
He passed away without regaining
consciousness after his attack of apo
pIexy. The change from life to death
was observed only by his attending
physician, who watched all night
long with the family.
Emperor William and various les
ser German sovereigns have sent their
condolences to the Mommsen fam
ily.
His Life and Works.
Theodor Mommsen was born at
Garding, In Schleswig, on Nov. 80,
1917, and received his early education
from his father, who was an evangeli-
zeal preacher. From the gymnasium
Ne went to the University of K1el,
where he plunged into a study of five
or six languages, history and litera-
turN He collaborated with his
brother Tycho on a volume of verse,
being wholly lacking in poetic grace,
beauty or rhythm that Mommsen
never repeated the experiment..
In 1912 he received the degree of
Phi. D. The next year he published
his de Collegi is ct Sodelitiis Ro-
manorum, the first of a long series
of works. This and another similar
book made him known as writer of
great thoroness, lucidity and beauty
of style, his German being pronounced
as good as any ever written. AS his
reputation for style was built up

Voegeli Bros. Guarantee That HyOmei
Will Cure the Worst Case Of Ca
tarrh in Minneapolis.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Minneapolis guarantees
that a medicine will effect a cure or
they will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that rem
edy. 1t is in this way that Voegeli
Bros. are selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has made so many remark
able cures Of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Minneapolis and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a IL
quid that has to be taken with table,
by the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be seen
from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. It cures catarrh Of the head
and throat, or Of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that
on the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory or
gans.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that If Hyomei does not
cure you, VoegeH Bros, corner Wash
ington and Hennepin avenues, will re-
fund your money. This Is a good time
to cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
SO common. at this season.

CASTLE STRIKES BACK
Treasury Department Auditor At
tacks Postmaster General Payne
in His Report.

Washington, Nov. 2.-H. A. Castle,
auditor for the postoffice department,
who is soon to retire, has delivered a
caustic valedictory in the form of his
annual report, which arraigns lax adj
ministrative methods employed in the
department and which, in effect, holds
the postmaster general largely ac-
countable for the recent scandals.
In criticizing the methods Of ac-
counting thru congressional inaction
he points out wherein over $40,000,O00
annually has been and is being paid
out upon mere certificates without
check or review.
He says no account is kept by, the
auditor Of postage stamps, stamped
paper and enVelOps, ETC., nor is there
any between the department and man
ufacturers or contractors for furnish
ing such paper. He adds:
g "The reprehensible practice has at
.partment, sanctioned by law, but OPP
posed to correct accounting methods,
of paying some portions of expendi-
lures from annual departmental, mis-
cellaneous, incidental expense, and
even from salary appropriations by
authorizing postmaster, notably at
Washington city, to make such pay
ments instead of by warrant thru the
auditors office in the regular way"
Castle quotes the law to absolve
himself from blame in connection with
his failure to detect bribery in con-
nection with the purchase Of patented
articles for the department.
The report says the aggregate trans
actions of. the postal service during the
fiscal year were $1,O26,7 s1,40S, as fol-
lows: Revenues, $134,224,443; ex-
penditures, $13s,784,488; total amount
Of money orders issued, $388,865.584
money orders paid, .$364,856,893.

MONDAY EVENING,

Mommsen became known also for bit
terness and sometimes arrogance In
controversies.
This spirit took him into the politi-
cal field as a radical agitator for con-
stitutional progress. He was then
professor of Roman law at Leipsic,
and his activity caused the govern
ment to arrest him for melting the
people. The courts acquitted him, but
the Saxon government dismissed him
from his professorship.
Mommsen was then called to
chair in the legal faculty at Zurich.
There he wrote two monographs and
the first volume of his history of
Rome. In 1854 he became a pro-
fessor Of Roman law at Breslau, and
in 1858 went to the University Of Ber-
lin. Hardly had he been installed
there when he got into literary
became completely estranged by the
| controversy.
As Enmity to Bismarck.
From 1871 to 1882 he fought Bis
| marck in speeches whose bitterness
indicated almost mania. In 1882
he made, at his home at Charlotten-
burg, speech in which he character.
lied Bismarck's tariff policy a pure
sWindle. To defy Bismarck was dan
gerous at any time; to call him a
swindler meant serious trouble.
Mommsen was arrested and tried for
slander. He was acquitted at Berlin
and later at the high court Of appeals
at Leipsic, where the case was taken.
It was a great victory.
| AT the University Of Berlin, Momm-
sen was always less a teacher than a
student, and those who enrolled in his
course often found that instead of re-
manning at his chair the great histo-
rian had gone off to Italy for more
| material. His thin, long, gray
| later white-hair, yellow face, promi-
| nent crooked nose and glazing, pug
| nacious, penetrating eyes made. a
combination typical Of his kind. Al
tho his history of Rome was the most
popular of his works, his monumental
CORPUS Inscriptionum Latinarium" is
regarded by scholars as his best work.
A complete list of his writings, made
/ fifteen years ago, took up sixty closely
printed pages and Mommsen kept on
writing after that. In 1880 part OF
his library was destroyed by fire. Con-
! tributions from scholars from all over
the world replenished the collection.

THE CONSUL IS BURIED
Services for the Late Mrs. Booth
Tucker Held Yesterday Ball
ington Booth Not Present.

New York, Nov. 2.-Funeral serv-
Ices over the remains of Emma Booth
fucker, consul of the Salvation Army
In America, were held yesterday after
noon in Carnegie hall.
The auditorium was filled to over
moving and hundreds of persons who
mad been unable to gain entrance
waited In the streets until the cere-
MONIES had been concluded that they
mlgnt hle past the catafalque and look
on the face of the dead Salvationist.
Inc services, which were conducted
by Colonel e. j. Higgins, chief secre-
tary or the Salvation Army in America,
were most Impressive and consisted Of
Huslcal program made up Of the
IaVorlte hymns of the dead woman
ana by eulogies Of her life and of the
good she had done for mankind. The
grief of Commander Booth-Tucker
was most poignant, and as he knelt
py the bier, sobbing pathetically, the
greater part a. the vast congregation
Wept with him.
General Darlington Booth Of the
volunteers OF America did not remain
10 tor In the memorial service. According
10 MS secretary, he had endeavored
TO arrange for a family gathering and
snort private services in Carnegie hall
before the public funeral service. Cen
eral Booth arrived at the hall three
quarters of an hour ahead of time and
Wiileo Ior the expected family gath
ering, but learning that it would not
take place, he left, saying that he did
not care to stay for the public services.
Herbert Booth, his brother, who was
formerly commander-in-chief of the
Salvationists in Australia, at the re-
quest of the general, remained to rep
resent the family, and if possible to
say a few words to the audience. Her
bert Booth twice asked permission
from Commander Booth-Tucker to
speak, but each time it was refused.
Commissioners Eva Booth was to have
spoken, but she was too overcome by
grief to do so. At the close of the
Eservices, however, she rendered a
prayer. Cablegrams were read from
General William Booth and Chief
Bramwell Booth of the International
headquarters, London, at the funeral.
